Thank you, I feel comforted!

740,000!

Replacing parts, plus labor costs and so on, totaled 740,000 yuan!

Compared to the watch's selling price of 2.1 million, it wasn't considered high.

Watch repairs are not quite the same as car repairs.

Often, the parts-to-whole ratio for cars will be above 300%, and for luxury brands, it can even exceed 600%.

This can be understood as disassembling all the parts of a car and selling them individually, where the price would be more than three times the price of the complete car.

However, watches do not have such a high parts-to-whole ratio; the combined price of parts is not much more expensive than a finished watch.

That's good, at least Xu Ning felt that 740,000 was a very suitable number.

It could give that guy a lifelong lesson he'd never forget, without pushing him to his death.

Leaving Yintai Center, he went directly to the law firm he had booked yesterday.

That's right, he planned to hand over all subsequent compensation matters to a lawyer.

With money, he didn't have to do everything himself; some things were better handled by professionals.

"Hello, Young Master Xu, please have a seat!"

One of the law firm's partners, a Lawyer Hua, received Xu Ning in his office.

Actually, such a small case, and a civil one at that, usually doesn't require a senior lawyer.

The reason a law firm partner was there to receive Xu Ning was simply because the assistant lawyer had just seen Xu Ning get out of a supercar.

If an executive car might be bought to 'save face' for business needs, a supercar is absolutely a rich young master's toy.

Being able to drive a supercar means he definitely has money in his pocket.

Perhaps this case is small, but as long as a relationship is established, there might be more cooperation opportunities in the future.

Sitting on the reception sofa in the office, Xu Ning picked up the hand-ground coffee brought by the assistant lawyer, took a small sip, and appeared very calm.

Although he hadn't experienced this before, it was still the same saying: anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem.

Anyway, he didn't care about the lawyer's fees; everything else was secondary.

He handed the document bag to Lawyer Hua, and while Lawyer Hua read the documents, Xu Ning spoke unhurriedly.

"Most likely, he won't compensate directly, so a lawyer needs to step in."

"I'll send you the relevant video evidence shortly."

"Perhaps he'll argue that I deliberately enticed him to damage his watch; how to refute him is something you'll need to worry about."

"I imagine this isn't a very difficult task for you, is it?"

Lawyer Hua finished reading the documents, then watched the video Xu Ning sent him, a look of surprise appearing on his face, lost in thought.

A 2.1 million Richard Mille watch, with a repair cost of 740,000.

This fee wasn't really outrageous, and it had the stamp of the Richard Mille After-Sales Service Center, so there was definitely no problem.

The problem wasn't there, but rather in the process of how the other party damaged the watch.

Although it was indeed the other party who opened Xu Ning's hand, causing the watch to fall, how could a watch worn on the wrist fall off so easily?!

Perhaps, this matter shouldn't be scrutinized further!

Especially after Lawyer Hua inadvertently saw the Richard Mille RM56 on Xu Ning's wrist, he became even more certain!

How ruthless!

If he still didn't understand Xu Ning's intention at this point, he would have wasted all his years as a lawyer.

"Young Master Xu, rest assured!"

"This case, handed over to our law firm, will absolutely be no problem."

"As long as you sign a power of attorney, we will act as full agents for this case, and you won't need to worry about a thing afterwards!"

"As for fees, for cases involving property relations, where the subject matter is between 500,000 and 1 million, our fee standard is 4% - 8%."

"This time, we will charge according to the lowest standard of 4%."

"What do you think?"

Lawyer Hua put down the document bag, patted his chest in assurance, and finally promised to charge the lowest standard fee.

Lawyers' fees are often very high; for example, divorce lawyers will demand 10% of the property division as their fee.

Now, if they charge 4% as lawyer's fees, and if the other party truly pays 740,000 in the end, then Xu Ning would have to pay the law firm 30,000 yuan.

That's really not high!

He figured it was a special discount given to him by the other party to build a good relationship.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

"When the case is over, I'll treat you to a meal."

Xu Ning signed the authorization document and agency agreement without hesitation, then stood up and shook hands with Lawyer Hua to say goodbye.

He had originally planned to go straight back to school to work on his unfinished graduation project, but halfway there, he received a call from Ning Bing.

"I'm in a bad mood, take me for a drive!" As soon as he picked up, Ning Bing's tired yet helpless voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who upset our Young Lady Ning Bing?"

"Tell me, and I'll go get revenge for you!"

Xu Ning pulled over and said with a chuckle.

"It's that old hag, the investment director at the company!"

"She acts all high and mighty, relying on her connections with the LP."

"She especially dislikes me and constantly gives me trouble!"

"It's so annoying!"

Ning Bing gritted her teeth as she spoke, clearly having endured a lot of frustration.

Last time, Xu Ning knew that Ning Bing worked in the financial industry, at an investment company.

He had thought the financial industry was glamorous, but judging by Ning Bing's current state, it was probably just a facade.

"What does LP mean?" As a good student, he asked when he didn't understand.

Ning Bing realized that Xu Ning was not an insider, so she briefly explained.

"GP is a General Partner, equivalent to co-founding a company."

"LP is a Limited Partner, equivalent to putting money into the company later for the company to operate, waiting for dividends, the kind that only contributes money and no effort."

Xu Ning suddenly understood, so that's what it meant.

"Is this old witch your leader?"

"If she can really target you, then just quit!"

"Anyway, if this place doesn't keep you, another one will!"

"We won't put up with that kind of nonsense!"

Xu Ning said with a comforting smile. Not understanding the situation at Ning Bing's company, he couldn't offer any good advice.

Ning Bing couldn't help but roll her beautiful eyes.

What kind of advice is that?

Thanks, I feel so much better!

"If I quit, will you support me?"

Xu Ning chuckled and joked, "If not, you can work as a designated driver with me, it's quite profitable!"

Ning Bing was speechless.

Designated driving is indeed profitable, so profitable that you can even drive a supercar!

"Alright, hurry up and pick me up, I really need to relax today!"

With that, Ning Bing quickly hung up the phone.

Xu Ning smiled, turned the car around, and headed towards Ning Bing's home.

Unlike those party girls, vain women, or fake socialites who always want to snag a rich man, Ning Bing was a very independent career woman.

Although Xu Ning hadn't yet figured out how to develop their relationship, he wasn't averse to having more contact with her.

Let everything take its natural course!

Twenty minutes later, he arrived downstairs at Ning Bing's home.

From a distance, he saw Ning Bing wearing very casual clothes.

An orange short-sleeved shirt on top, her chest proudly pushed high, clearly meant to attract attention.

Slim jeans made her legs appear straight and long, and she wore a pair of trendy sneakers.

This kind of outfit truly suggested she was out to relax.
