Capítulo 1520: Chapter 1494: Treating a Dead Horse Like a Living One (Part 3)

Lin Pingqing looked at the director and said, “Director Wang, what’s going on here?”

Director Wang said, “Pingqing, I don’t know either. Li Jinhe’s attitude was originally very tough, insisting on handling this matter in a big way. You know, this matter could be big or small; the key is whether the parties involved pursue it. But who knew he just called me saying he’s no longer pursuing it, and I thought it was good as is. Who knew he himself would come over and pull this stunt? You’re really something; you actually found such an impressive person to mediate that even Li Jinhe has to bow down.”

“I don’t have such skills,” Lin Pingqing smiled bitterly.

Jenny immediately said, “You made so many calls earlier, did someone manage to sort it out for you?”

Lin Pingqing grinned and said, “This… I’m not sure, probably.”

Director Wang then said, “This time, Li Jinhe really bled a lot, directly compensating one million. For such a small matter, he actually spent so much money to resolve it. The person you found must be incredibly influential. Alright, I won’t keep you here; this is not a good place. I have matters to attend to, so I won’t be accompanying you.”

“What? One million?” This time, Lin Pingqing couldn’t stay calm any longer, grabbing the check from Chen Xiaotong and scrutinizing it repeatedly before stammering, “Actually compensating one million, one million, this…”

Jenny and the others were all shocked at this moment, a million, not everyone living in Beijing is that wealthy, for ordinary people, a million is still a huge sum, not to mention this money is a compensation someone gave.

“This is impossible, impossible.” Lin Pingqing shook his head repeatedly.

Jenny immediately asked nervously, “Isn’t there… some other means behind this?”

“No, no, Director Wang said it’s over, then it’s over. I’m saying the people I know, none of them have such influence, even if someone can talk to Li Jinhe, it’s just asking for mercy, definitely not enough to make him bow like this.”

“A million, this means Li Jinhe was completely pressured, what kind of extraordinary person could do that? Among the people I know, there’s definitely no such person.”

Jenny and others were all dumbfounded at this point, then Jenny suddenly had an epiphany and exclaimed, “Could it be Shui Qinghe’s boyfriend?”

Chapter 1496

Lin Pingqing was stunned for a moment, then looked around and said, “Where are they?”

“Huh? Yes, where are they? How come they’re gone?” Jenny also just noticed that Song Xiaodong and Shui Qinghe had already left.

Lin Pingqing said very confidently, “Then it must be them, if it’s not them, then why would they leave?”

Jenny widened her eyes and said, “No way? Qinghe’s boyfriend is really that impressive?”

Lin Pingqing said, “Besides them, none of the people we contacted could be of help, so it must be them. Right, Jenny, quickly make a call. They’ve helped with such a big favor, how can we not thank them?”

“Yes, yes!” Jenny quickly took out her phone and dialed Shui Qinghe.

“Qinghe, was it… your boyfriend who helped resolve this?” Jenny asked cautiously, mainly because she still couldn’t believe this matter was resolved by Song Xiaodong, he’s just a college teacher.

Shui Qinghe chuckled and said, “We’re friends, right, in the company you take good care of me, it’s only right for him to help out.”

This was an unambiguous confirmation, Jenny immediately exclaimed, “It’s really him? Oh my god, how is he so capable, you know? President Li not only didn’t pursue, he also compensated Xiaotong a million?”

Shui Qinghe quickly said, “It’s not that he’s capable, he just happened to know a friend who helped out, that’s all.” This was the explanation Shui Qinghe and Song Xiaodong had agreed upon, she still didn’t want others to view her with special regard due to her unique identity.

“Then the person he knows must be a very top figure, a phone call and the other side helps with such a big favor, this shows your boyfriend has a lot of influence. Oh my, at that time, I didn’t believe it and spoke rudely about him, it’s so embarrassing now.”

“We’re all friends here, you were anxious at that time, we understand, don’t worry about it.”

“Yes, yes, by the way, where are you guys? We need to bring the money to you, without your boyfriend’s friend’s influence, President Li wouldn’t have given this money, we can’t take it.”

Shui Qinghe said, “Forget it, you guys keep the money, if you give it to us, then we’re exploiting the favor, Xiaodong would definitely disagree.”

“This…” Jenny was about to offer again when Lin Pingqing shook his head at her, leaving her puzzled, Lin Pingqing whispered directly, “Let’s not talk too much about this matter, otherwise it’s disrespecting them.”

Jenny was still unclear about Lin Pingqing’s meaning, but Lin Pingqing had broader experiences, so she trusted him, saying, “Then let’s talk about it later, we didn’t eat well earlier, let’s go somewhere else and have a good meal.”

“No need, you guys carry on, besides, I have to go on a date with my boyfriend, not taking along you two third wheels.”
