Chapter 226: Who Doesn't Refuse to Submit to Whom!
The owner of Chayue Restaurant heard that a dispute had broken out in the parking lot and hurried over.
With the situation tense and ready to explode, his first thought was naturally to smooth things over.
The owner walked up to Wang Xingjun, offered a cigarette with a face full of smiles, and said cautiously, "Manager Wang, for my sake, please don't make this look too ugly."
Wang Xingjun glanced at the owner with disdain, gave a light snort through his nostrils, and said, "Don't worry, we are settling our conflict outside; I guarantee it won't affect your business."
The owner tentatively asked, "How about I go persuade the other side to pay a bit more, and we just call it even?"
Wang Xingjun sneered and replied with an arrogant face, "Do you think I'm short on that little bit of money? I'm fighting for my pride!"
The owner hurriedly pulled Tang Ye to the side, "Little brother, the people on the other side have a big background. His name is Wang Xingjun, and his older brother is the County Party Secretary of Suiyuan County. In my opinion, you should just bow your head and admit your mistake; don't blow this out of proportion."
The corners of Tang Ye's mouth lifted slightly, "No wonder he is so arrogant. Owner, thank you for your good intentions, but this matter has nothing to do with you, so please don't worry about it."
Seeing Tang Ye's attitude, the owner secretly gave a bitter smile; this young man really didn't know the depth of the water.
It was originally a dispute caused by reversing a car, and Du Xiaofeng was indeed in the wrong.
But the other party had used an iron pipe to smash the headlight!
That was completely unreasonable.
No wonder Wang Xingjun was so emboldened; it turned out he was relying on his brother's power.
However, this was starting to get interesting.
Du Xiaofeng was the younger sister of Du Chengfeng.
The other was the younger brother of the Suiyuan County Party Secretary.
Usually, neither of them would submit to the other!
Now, with the sharp point against the wheat awn, it was full of drama.
Just at this moment, Wang Xingjian slowly stepped out from the back seat of the official car.
Seeing the great commotion from afar, he couldn't help but frown and ask the Secretary beside him, "What is going on over there?"
The Secretary hurriedly and cautiously reported, "It is like this: Manager Xiao Wang's car was hit by a female driver. The female driver had a sharp tongue, and your younger brother, in a fit of anger, took an iron pipe and smashed her car."
Wang Xingjian gave a heavy snort and said with dissatisfaction, "Why is he still so reckless in his actions! Go quickly and tell him not to make too big a scene."
The Secretary had only walked halfway when he retreated with a panicked expression.
Wang Xingjian realized something must have gone wrong, "Why are you back again?"
The Secretary wore a troubled expression, leaned into Wang Xingjian's ear, and whispered, "I saw Tang Secretary."
"Tang Secretary? Which Tang Secretary?" Wang Xingjian was full of confusion.
The Secretary hurriedly added, "Tang Ye, Mayor Jiang's Secretary."
Wang Xingjian's heart skipped a beat.
Previously, because of a small conflict between children, Tang Ye had used underhanded tactics behind the scenes, causing Suiyuan County to miss out on the New Agricultural Reclamation Project.
Now that a new dispute had arisen, if it wasn't handled well, it would only intensify the conflict.
Wang Xingjian took a deep breath, "You go quickly and tell Xingjun to stop messing around. Every single day, he only knows how to cause me trouble. Forget it, I'll go over personally!"
Seeing his brother Wang Xingjian appear, Wang Xingjun's face immediately filled with a fawning smile, "Brother, why did you come over? It's just a small dispute, I can handle it."
Wang Xingjian's face sank, he glared coldly at Wang Xingjun, and shouted sternly, "You shut up!"
This shout was like a bolt from the blue!
Wang Xingjun stood frozen on the spot, the smile on his face also stiffening.
The restaurant owner had originally been watching cautiously from the side.
At this moment, he was also stunned by this sudden turn of events.
The onlookers around were confused and looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.
Tang Ye looked toward Wang Xingjian, a smile appearing on his face as he took the initiative to greet him, "Secretary Wang, hello, long time no see."
Wang Xingjian sighed, "Today's conflict is our fault. We will definitely provide compensation for the losses you have suffered later."
Tang Ye had originally intended to let the matter develop further to see what would happen next.
With Wang Xingjian personally stepping in to mediate, it was suddenly difficult for the situation to escalate.
Seeing his brother being so polite to Tang Ye, Wang Xingjun immediately realized that the other party was no ordinary person.
He wisely chose to shut his mouth and said nothing more.
"Section Chief Tang, what a coincidence today; how about we have a meal together?"
"No, it's a family dinner today; let's arrange it another time."
Wang Xingjian smiled as if regretful and turned to give Wang Xingjun a look.
"This is Mayor Jiang Jing's Secretary; keep your eyes open in the future! Don't act so recklessly again."
Wang Xingjun instantly changed his expression and apologized with a smile, "So it is Tang Secretary, I am truly sorry; I was too impulsive today. Please rest assured, I will definitely compensate for your losses."
Du Xiaofeng had originally thought about bringing up her brother Du Chengfeng's identity to suppress the scene.
She hadn't expected Tang Ye's identity to be so effective, and she couldn't help but cast a look of gratitude toward Tang Ye.
The dispute was considered temporarily over.
Although Du Xiaofeng's car had a broken headlight, the fact that the other party no longer pursued the responsibility for the car accident and even took the initiative to offer compensation was already a pretty good result for Du Xiaofeng.
More importantly, in this dispute, Du Xiaofeng's heart had received great satisfaction.
She hadn't expected a Section Chief-level identity to have such great deterrent power.
However, in her view, Tang Ye was somewhat using the fox to borrow the tiger's might, simply borrowing Mayor Jiang's prestige.
In Du Xiaofeng's heart, her brother Du Chengfeng would always be the best and most reliable.
Returning to the private room.
At this time, Du Xiaofeng's mood had already improved.
"Thanks to Tang Ye, if it weren't for him, how could it have been handled so smoothly." Du Chengfeng sighed lightly and said with a hint of helplessness, "Xiao Feng, with your driving skills, it would be better to drive less when going out in the future."
Du Xiaofeng gave an awkward, sheepish laugh: "The more you drive, the more proficient you naturally become."
Tang Ye picked up his wine glass and cast a glance toward Du Xi.
Du Xi understood the hint and stood up.
"Du Xi and I would like to propose a toast to everyone. This meal today is of extraordinary significance to both of us. For two people to want happiness that lasts, the support of family is crucial. Thank you all for your blessings; we will certainly get along well in the future and not let down your earnest expectations."
Xiao Qin's eyes turned slightly red, and she turned to say to Qin Lan: "Xi Xi can be a bit temperamental at times; if there is anything she does wrong, I hope you will be understanding."
Qin Lan took hold of Xiao Qin's wrist: "I have hoped for a daughter since I was small. Du Xi is a kind-hearted girl, and I will certainly cherish her like my own daughter from now on."
Tang Yu was all smiles as he also raised his wine glass, and seeing this, Du Chengfeng took the initiative to reach out and clink glasses with him.
For a moment, the private room was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Tang Ye looked at this harmonious scene and sighed inwardly.
Although there had been a small accident, the final outcome was still good.
