Wen Moshi said coldly, "Did I say that I wanted you to pick me up at home?"
Li Rui thought about it. She didn't seem to have said that. She only said that he was coming to pick her up, but she didn't say where she was going. He secretly scolded himself for being careless and said, "Okay, I'll rush over now. Don't run around again."
After hanging up the phone, Li Rui returned to the car and immediately moved. When he thought about this trip, he was angry and amused. He was angry that Wen Moshi didn't explain clearly, but he also laughed at himself for being too stupid. However, when he thought about it, Wen Moshi could go to Fragrant Ink Garden, which meant that her foot injury had recovered. This made him happier than anything else.
After rushing to Fragrant Ink Garden and parking the car, Li Rui quickly walked into the shop. When he found Wen Moshi, Yiren was instructing the workers on the second floor to place the flowers and trees. Li Rui saw a pot of blooming orchids and remembered that he should have bought a bouquet of flowers for Wen Moshi. How could a beauty lack flowers on her birthday?
When Wen Moshi saw that he had rushed over, she only glanced at him casually and turned back to continue with her work. She said, "Wait for me for a while."
Li Rui could only stand behind her and wait. After waiting for two minutes, he suddenly realized that not only was there no smell of paint in her newly built building, but even the smell of wood was very light. It was as if it had been air-dried for a few months. However, this building had clearly just been built and hadn't been renovated yet. How could it have been air-dried for a few months? He asked, "The smell in your new building isn't strong?"
Before Wen Moshi could say anything, the busy worker interrupted, "The wood used by Boss Wen is specially bought for many years. The paint used is also Libang's tasteless paint. Of course, it doesn't have any smell. If this was a new building, the smell would be suffocating. "
Li Rui nodded. This was Wen Moshi's style. She was a person who was particular. In this aspect, she was similar to him. No wonder he could become friends with her.
After Wen Moshi waited for the worker to place the flowers and trees, she instructed him to nail the wall so that she could hang the painting in the future. After giving the instructions, she turned around and looked at Li Rui and said, "Let's go and eat."
Li Rui said in surprise, "Just the two of us? Won't any of your family or friends attend? "
Wen Moshi rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're such a busybody."
Now that the two of them were standing face to face, Li Rui was surprised to find that Wen Moshi seemed to have specially put on makeup today. He saw that her straight and glossy hair was curled and draped over her shoulders, making her small oval face look even more exquisite. She used an eyebrow pencil to make her beautiful eyebrows look even more beautiful. Her eyes were sparkling, and her eyelashes were so long that they looked fake. Her pretty oval face was covered in foundation, and there was a hint of whiteness in her skin. The tip of her small nose shone with a strange light, and her thin lips were red and tender. It was obvious that she had used lip gloss. With such light makeup, she was truly elegant and peerless.
She was also dressed very fashionably today. She wore a bright, colorful striped short-sleeved round-neck T-shirt, revealing her slender, slender, jade-like arms. Below, she wore a plain white silk pleated skirt, which fluttered like a fairy, accentuating her slender figure. On her feet, she wore a pair of silver pointed shoes, revealing her fair feet. She was very charming.
Li Rui stared at her from head to toe, and Wen Moshi followed his gaze and scanned herself from head to toe. In the end, she stared at him hesitantly, as if asking, "What's wrong? Am I not dressed properly? "
Li Ruixin secretly praised, "What a beauty! But she's usually bare-faced. Why did she suddenly put on makeup today? Could it be because it's her birthday? "He smiled and said," It's nothing. Let's go. "
The two of them went downstairs side by side. Just as they went down the stairs, they saw a man in his forties or fifties. He wasn't tall, had a beer belly, and didn't look very pleasing to the eye. When the man saw Wen Moshi, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a fake smile, "Boss Wen, are you going out?"
Wen Moshi stopped in her tracks and said, "It's Boss Zhang. What's the matter?"
When Li Rui saw this, he could only stop and wait for the time being. He stared at Boss Zhang and sized him up a few times. He felt that he had seen him somewhere before. Now that he seemed to be up to no good, he secretly paid attention to him.
Boss Zhang chuckled and said, "There's something, but it's not a big deal. It's just a small matter, but I can't not tell you, Boss Wen. Otherwise …"
Wen Moshi was very impatient when she heard that and said, "Boss Zhang, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm in a hurry to leave."
Boss Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll say it directly. If Boss Wen isn't forgetful, you should still remember the fire from before. Now that the fire has passed so many days ago and your new building has been built, I should also remind you. At that time, your building caught fire and burned the adjacent part of our shop. How are you going to settle this? " After saying that, without waiting for Wen Moshi's reply, he continued, "Why didn't I say this before? It's because Boss Wen, you're still young and you're still managing such a shop. Moreover, it happened to catch fire and you were in a bad mood, so I didn't make things worse for you. However, now that the fire has passed and your new building has been built, I can't not say it. After all, a good person can't suffer for nothing, right?"
When Li Rui heard this, he finally understood that this Boss Zhang was the owner of the shop next door. His shop had been affected when the Fragrant Ink Garden was on fire. He was here to ask for an explanation. No wonder he felt that this person looked familiar. He lived next door.
Wen Moshi raised her eyebrows when she heard that. She tilted her head slightly and said in a low voice, "Boss Zhang, your words are strange. That fire doesn't seem to have burned your shop, right? When I demolished the house, I specially asked the workers to take a look. It didn't burn your house. Your three-story building is made of brick and cement, so it won't be damaged. Otherwise, I would have taken the initiative to compensate you. "
Boss Zhang snorted and said with a smile, "It didn't burn my house? Why didn't it burn it? It would be strange if it didn't burn such a big fire. The east wall and roof of our shop were all burned by that fire. Not to mention that the surface of the east wall was burned black, that's nothing. I can't use it to extort you. The key is that the fire was too big. It burned the bricks of the east wall. I have to tear them all down and build a new house. You said it didn't burn? Are you lying through your teeth? "
Before Wen Moshi could speak, Li Rui was so angry that he couldn't help but interrupt, "Bricks are afraid of fire? This is the first time I've heard that bricks are made in a brick kiln. Are they afraid of fire? What kind of joke is that? "
Boss Zhang glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and said rudely, "What do you do? What do you know about bullsh * t?! Aren't bricks made in a brick kiln not afraid of fire? Which master taught you that? Many of the brick walls had been melted by the fire! Let me tell you. Ordinary sintered bricks don't resist fire at all. They'll melt after a few hours of burning. Concrete bricks are slightly more resistant to fire, but they can still crack. What do you mean by 'bricks made in a brick kiln are not afraid of fire'? Then according to what you said, ironware is also calcined. Are ironware not afraid of fire? Do you know how high the temperature of a fire is? You don't know anything and yet you're still spouting nonsense. Don't embarrass yourself! "
Li Rui was rendered speechless by his words. Only then did he realize that he had made a mistake of taking things for granted. He was slapped in the face and embarrassed on the spot. He was really depressed, but he was unwilling to admit defeat. He snorted and said, "I don't know. You know, okay? Then we can't compensate you based on your words, right? You said that the bricks are melted. We'll find a professional bricklayer to take a look. If they're really melted, we'll compensate you without a single cent. But if there's no problem and it's just blackened, then don't use this to extort us. "
Boss Zhang's face quickly darkened and he said, "Who do you think you are? I'm talking to Boss Wen. What does it have to do with you? "
Li Rui sneered and said, "I'm Boss Wen's boyfriend. What do you think it has to do with me?"
Boss Zhang snorted coldly and ignored him. He said to Wen Moshi, "He said to find a professional bricklayer. There's no need at all. I'm a bricklayer myself. I know this. I've already seen it. It's just melted. Don't say anything else. I won't ask for more from you. The damage to the entire east wall and the roof is 50,000 yuan. You caused me to need to demolish and rebuild. It'll cost me a large sum of money. Add it up to 50,000 yuan. Both of them add up to 100,000 yuan. When do you think you'll settle it? "
Wen Moshi's face was cold and she was about to speak when Li Rui raised his hand and pulled her behind. He said with a smile, "Boss Zhang, are you a bricklayer or from the Bureau of Commodity Prices? Why are the prices so clear? But it's a pity that you don't have the final say in this price. I'll get a professional to take a look. We'll compensate you without a single cent less. But we won't compensate you with a single cent more. "
Boss Zhang saw that he was going against him time and time again, and gradually lost his patience. He said to Wen Moshi angrily, "Are you in charge here, or is this brat?"
Wen Moshi took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll withdraw the money to compensate you tomorrow morning. Now, don't say anything else. Go back and wait."
Boss Zhang didn't expect her to agree so quickly. He was stunned at first, but he quickly smiled and said, "Aiya, I have to say that as a boss, you're generous and straightforward. Boss Wen, you should've said that earlier. It would've saved me so much effort. Alright, then I'll go home and wait. Send it over tomorrow morning. Don't lie to me. If you lie to me, you can run away, but the temple can't run away. "After saying that, he turned to leave happily.
"Wait!" Li Rui waved his hand and stopped him. He first gave Wen Moshi a look, indicating that she shouldn't agree to the other party so quickly. He said loudly, "I don't agree. I have the final say in this matter!"
Boss Zhang turned around and glared at him fiercely. He cursed, "Are you f * cking trying to cheat?"
Li Rui said, "Boss Zhang, it's best not to use vulgarities when you speak. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you. As for the compensation, we have to go through the judgment of a professional organization before we can pay. If it really doesn't work, we won't hesitate to go to court. In short, we can't let evil people blackmail us without resisting. "
Wen Moshi said softly, "Forget it. Don't be angry with him because of this small matter. He didn't ask for much. Just give it to him."
