I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 389 There Is an Issue With Your Car

"Young Master Chen, I am Guo Xilin!"

Guo Xilin was the President Guo mentioned by Hou Xiaoxia earlier. Chen Hao had met him during the Cloud Mansion's Publicity Meeting at Hong County where he left him his contact number. "President Guo, is there anything I can help?" Chen Hao asked amiably.

"There's indeed a favor to ask from you. We are hosting a banquet and the guests are wealthy businessmen from all around the world. Initially, we weren't sure to invite you because we're just some common businessmen and it wouldn't be appropriate for you to join. However, many wealthy businessmen and prominent figures from Jin Ling will be attending the banquet this time, and a few of the presidents mentioned that they work for you. Therefore, it's only fitting to ask if you have the time to honor us with your presence!" Guo Xilin replied.

As a matter of fact, earning money and expanding businesses were of secondary importance to successful people like Guo Xilin. For them, connections were the utmost important aspect.

Managing and developing connections were far more advantageous than doing the same for a project.

That was also the reason why wealthy businessmen enjoyed gatherings.

To them, an opportunity as such might lead to meeting new leaders and building new connections, which in turn would represent a new opportunity to flourish one's business. Chen Hao had attended quite a number of these events in the past.

It was actually hard for Chen Hao to decline President Guo's warm invitation, but he was certain he would not have the time to attend the banquet, looking at the present situation.

Therefore, he regretfully turned down the invitation on the spot.

After that, he hung up the call.

Hou Xiaoxia was focusing all ears on Chen Hao's conversation.

"Who invited you for a meal? Which President Guo is that? Could it be President Guo from last time?" Hou Xiaoxia asked with concern.

After all, she did not wish for Chen Hao to get close with President Guo.

"Nobody!"

Chen Hao then smiled bitterly and added, "I've inspected the damages on the rear of your car. Xiaoxia, don't you think 500,000 is a bit too much?"

Although Chen Hao was wealthy, he was not a foolish person who could be easily conned for money.

"Too much? Bullsh*t! When the property damage adjuster of the car repair shop arrives later, you'll see for yourself. It might even cost more than that! Are you replaceing excuses because you can't pay up?" Hou Xiaoxia scoffed.

She then crossed her arms and waited aloofly.

Yesterday, she was still uneasy as she considered the possibility of Chen Hao becoming wealthy after knowing President Guo.

She was rather afraid it might happen, and this concern contributed to her gloomy mood today.

Therefore, when Hou Xiaoxia saw Chen Hao riding an electric three-wheeler here and even tried to bargain for less than 500,000, she was relieved.

Soon, the property damage adjusters arrived.

The few of the adjusters took a while to inspect the car, followed by some discussion in lowered voices.

Finally, they packed up their tools and stood up.

"How is it? How much does it cost to repair my car? I estimate that it will cost around a few hundred thousand," Hou Xiaoxia asked the few adjusters with her arms crossed. "Yes. For a full repair, we estimate conservatively to be around 450,000!" the staff replied.

"Damn! 450,000?"

"That is a huge amount!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Even Hou Xiaoxia was startled by the high cost and dropped her jaw. Earlier, she had even asked for 300,000 based solely on her own experience.

In fact, she was just a young commoner who turned into someone prestigious because of her boyfriend. Therefore, it was only natural for her lack of experience with luxurious cars.

She even thought 200,000 would have been enough as the repairing fee.

At once, she mocked complacently, "Chen Hao, did you hear that? The repair fee alone costs 450,000. Don't forget about the compensation for my mental health damage due to the delay caused. I'll leave the calculation for you. Let me tell you, 500,000 is definitely not enough to settle this accident!"

I offered you 500,000 earlier, but this amount is definitely insufficient now.

You didn't appreciate my concession, so you shall weep in regret now!

In such a situation, Chen Hao could only shrug his shoulders helplessly as there were no other alternatives.

"Alright. Thanks for your hard work. Please issue me a repair order and you may leave. Here you go, these are some tips for you!" while Hou Xiaoxia spoke, she scooped out a few hundred and offered it to the staff.

However, the staff shook their heads.

"Miss, please allow us to finish our sentence. Putting the repair fee aside, what we need to tell you is that this car is not ours!" said the adjuster.

"Of course! This car is imported. My boyfriend's father asked someone to buy it on his behalf, so surely, it isn't your car!"

"You've misunderstood my meaning, Miss. I mean this car model is unavailable in our headquarters and it's not up in the market. It isn't even available for sale in the China market because the production halted after the first batch. However, some illegal parties from other countries started to produce imitations of this model and sold it recently. You should be clear since you purchased this car. Therefore, this is not our car!" the staff concluded.

"What? Do you mean this car is bought through smuggling? What nonsense are you babbling?" Hou Xiaoxia could not remain calm after listening to that.

The staff felt helpless but took out some internal public notice and showed it to Hou Xiaoxia. It was apparent that this kind of imitation cars had been filed in record.

"Get it away from me! What bullsh*t is that? I only asked you to inspect the damages but you bring me trouble instead. I don't need your help now!"

Upon reading that notice, Hou Xiaoxia was frightened and anxious.

After all, this car belonged to her boyfriend, not her.

Now that she had caused such a ruckus, she was, of course, feeling uneasy and guilty.

"Miss, we've mentioned that this car is reported. Our staff will arrive soon to tow your car away, and we hope you will cooperate with us for the investigation. If you aren't the car owner, please inform the owner to come here!"

At this moment, another staff member finished making a call.

"Oh god! What are you doing?" Hou Xiaoxia asked anxiously.

Right now, she had lost her mood to ask Chen Hao for money.

All she could think of was calling her boyfriend, Li Liang, in fear and anxiety.

On the other hand, Chen Hao did not expect things would turn out this way.

He could only stand aside and shook his head while giving a bitter smile.

Wicked people would taste their own karma!

While Hou Xiaoxia was making the call, she spotted the smile on Chen Hao, who was standing at the side. Out of anger, she took off her high heels and hurled it toward Chen Hao.

Fortunately, Chen Hao dodged it.

"Bastard! What are you laughing at? Let me tell you, you still have to pay me the compensation! Not even a single penny less! It's all your fault. I want 700,000 and you won't get away with this!" Hou Xiaoxia shouted frantically.

"Crazy!"

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly.

Now that this girl was caught in trouble, Chen Hao felt cruel to rub salt into the wound.

"Mister, your car is from our shop. I've called two tow trucks, so we'll be towing your car together later," the staff informed.

"Alright!" Chen Hao nodded and agreed.

After that, the staff went to deal with Hou Xiaoxia.

Since there was nothing left to do, Chen Hao told Lin Shengnan and the others to go back.

He would handle this matter himself.

Meanwhile, Hou Xiaoxia might be reprimanded by her boyfriend, so she hid herself at a side, crying while talking on the phone.

On the other hand, Wang Wen looked at Chen Hao, and Chen Hao looked back at her.

Both of them exchanged an awkward smile.

"Wen, where were you going initially? I'm so sorry that your matters are delayed. I can fetch you there if you want!" Chen Hao asked.

"Sure. We're going to a gathering which Xiaoxia asked me to accompany her to!" Wang Wen replied.

"Hmph! If you have any problems, you can look for my boyfriend tomorrow. He will contact you the next day!" Hou Xiaoxia snorted.

"Yes, Miss!"

At this moment, it seemed like Hou Xiaoxia and the staff were done with their negotiations.

She then walked over to them. "Wen, we're almost late. Let's go there now. Damn it! I was going to make an impressive appearance with that car!" Hou Xiaoxia complained frustratedly before shooting Chen Hao a warning glare.

"Xiaoxia, let's go now. You can't settle this matter now anyway. Besides, Chen Hao offered to send us there!" Wang Wen said.

"What? He wants to send us there? With this lousy electric three-wheeler? Wen, are you mad?!"
