Chapter 515: Resolution of the Issue

~7 min read 1,270 words

Cheng Shuili's gaze swept over faces that were surprised, bewildered, or angry; her tone was calm as she continued, "Qing Shan Car Shop just opened, indeed there were oversights, lack of experience, and it made everyone wait in vain."

That development was something Wanwan, the crowd demanding explanations at the doorway, could never have imagined.

Earlier, Qing Shan Car Shop claimed to keep its word, saying that whether big or small they would not cheat customers.

How is it that Wu Ya, once he stepped out and rescued members of his own faction, immediately began admitting mistakes to them?

Isn't this person Number One?

The towering player never expected that this famed strongest individual would be so easy to talk to in private.

But he knows well the fate of those who dare cause trouble in the Safe Zone, so he stopped while he was ahead, and the anger on his face vanished.

Cheng Shuili paused briefly, but her words did not linger on whose fault the matter was; instead she turned to a solution: "So …"

She turned her head and gestured for the little apprentice, who had just been lifted by his collar, to sit at the registration spot.

The little apprentice didn't understand, but Lao Da had signaled, so he naturally complied.

Cheng Shuili cleared her throat and continued, "Today we can continue registering you, but the Car Shop's staff are limited, repairs take time, and Qing Shan Car Shop can only handle them in the order of registration."

Hearing that they could register, the players gathered at Qing Shan Car Shop's entrance brightened instantly, their eyes shining, waiting for Cheng Shuili to state the other details.

Facing those gazes, Cheng Shuili said without hesitation, "After registration, Qing Shan Car Shop will give you an estimated repair completion date and a ticket number. Before your number comes up, you need not queue here and wait miserably; you can attend to your own matters. The shop will, according to the registration order, notify you in advance via private message to arrange the specific repair time."

This method both acknowledges the shop's understaffed situation and maximally respects the queue‑waiters' time.

It spares them from having to come day after day to stand in line, wasting time.

"Then … if it's my turn, I happen to have something to do, or my vehicle isn't with me—what then?"

Someone in the crowd hesitated and asked.

"After the notice is sent, sufficient preparation time will be left," Cheng Shuili said, looking at the asker. "If there truly are special circumstances preventing timely fulfillment, you can communicate in advance; the shop will adjust the order at its discretion. But if you miss without cause or become unreachable, it will be treated as an order cancellation, and then you'll have to re‑queue if you still want repairs."

Now even the towering player, who had been the loudest earlier, could say nothing.

He scratched his head; the anger on his face had long vanished, replaced by a hint of embarrassment and anticipation: "Then … does today's registration … start now?"

Cheng Shuili looked at the little apprentice.

The little apprentice immediately straightened his back and shouted, "Start! Lao Da has spoken, so we start now! Brother, I remember clearly, you are the first in line! The next is … after that is …"

The few who were called showed delighted expressions and pushed forward.

Others, though eager, saw the rules set and Number One Lao Da personally present and seated, so they could only restrain themselves and watch anxiously.

A conflict that seemed about to erupt was thus dissolved by Cheng Shuili's few words, unseen.

The crowd fell silent again, instinctively forming a line before the little apprentice, orderly and a world apart from the earlier chaos.

Cheng Shuili did not leave immediately; she stood aside, silently observing the registration process to ensure the new rule was carried out smoothly.

Only when the line steadied, with no more questions or disturbances, did she give the little apprentice a slight nod, turn, and prepare to leave.

"Lao Da … I …" the little apprentice whispered, watching her back, his eyes full of lingering fear and guilt.

Cheng Shuili's steps faltered slightly, she turned her face, and upon seeing his gaze she frowned a little, her tone still even: "It's fine, it's not your responsibility. When Chen Qing Shan returns, have him come find me."

The little apprentice's heart fluttered, fearing Lao Da would blame the master yet worrying he himself had mishandled things and burdened the Car Shop, so he anxiously replied, "Yes … yes, Lao Da."

Cheng Shuili said nothing more, and her figure quickly vanished into the shadows of the Safe Zone's staggered buildings.

In the regional channel, discussion of this minor incident surged, and the tide had already completely turned:

"Just now at Qing Shan Car Shop's entrance it almost turned into a fight! That scared me to death!"

"I was there too! Wuya Lao Da came in person! My god, that aura … I didn't dare move!"

"And then? Did it turn into a fight? Did Black Feather press people with his power?"

"Press what? Wuya Lao Da is just reasoning! He admitted the shop's oversight, then immediately set up a reservation registration system! So awesome!"

"Reservation system? Details!"

"It's registering for a number, the shop repairs in order, and before the repair they'll notify you in advance, so you don't have to wait stupidly! This method is perfect!"

"Is it real? Black Feather reasoning like that? I thought they'd just use force to suppress…"

"So that's why they can be Number One! Strong, yet follow rules, get things done! I'm impressed, truly impressed."

"From now on I'll stick to this for car repairs!"

"I declare, from today onward, Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji is my idol! Strength and vision coexist!"

"I increasingly feel that Black Feather Safe Zone can become great and strong."

"No need for you to say that?"

…

"Lao Da, I heard it almost erupted just now; you settled things and still called me over?"

Chen Qing Shan's voice came from the doorway, carrying a trace of dust from having just rushed back and obvious unease.

He rubbed his hands, a thin sheen of sweat on his forehead, clearly having received the little apprentice's message and hurrying over.

When the little apprentice told him about this, both their faces were anxious; Chen Qing Shan felt his heart rate definitely spiked past 180!

This was the first day Qing Shan Car Shop opened; not only did it almost cause trouble, but Lao Da personally settled it!

Chen Qing Shan broke out in cold sweat, fearing that Cheng Shuili would call him over to stop him from continuing his work.

Last night he said he'd make "Qing Shan Car Shop" the second flagship of Black Feather Safe Zone, yet on the first day of operation trouble arose.

The more Chen Qing Shan thought, the more frightened he became, but since Lao Da called, he dared not delay, so he rushed without stopping.

Cheng Shuili sat in her office, having already half‑drunk the tea Wan Yi had prepared.

Seeing Chen Qing Shan like that, she didn't answer immediately, just pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down first, would you like something to drink?"

"No … not needed, Lao Da."

Chen Qing Shan sat down nervously, his back straight as a student about to be scolded by a homeroom teacher, "It's my fault for not arranging properly, leaving the little apprentice alone, almost causing chaos, adding trouble for you and Black Feather."
