414: Do you think I'm some kind of pushover?

Yang Guanlei appeared to offer Ye Su two solutions, but in reality, he had no intention of offering any compensation at all.

If he chose option one, Ye Su would essentially be paying market price for a wrecked used car.

If he chose option two, he would just be buying another new car at full price.

Damn!

Selling me a wrecked car as a new one, and then refusing to pay a single cent in compensation after getting caught.

They really are treating me like a total pushover!

"Manager Yang, if it's going to be this much trouble, why even bother offering me two solutions?" Ye Su said with a fake smile.

"Doesn't the contract clearly state how to handle this situation? Let's just stick to what the contract says."

Upon hearing this, a bad feeling rose in Yang Guanlei's heart, but he forced a smile and said:

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Ye?"

"What else could I mean? Return one and compensate three, just like it's clearly written in the contract."

Ye Su's words made the smile on Yang Guanlei's face freeze.

Return one, compensate three!

That car sold for 1.55 million.

Triple compensation would be 4.65 million, which is equivalent to more than two months of the dealership's profit!

This young man is really asking for the moon!

Faced with Ye Su's massive compensation demand, Yang Guanlei's eyes turned cold, and he could no longer maintain his previous smile.

"Mr. Ye, you can't put it that way. This was just a momentary mistake by our staff. At most, we can just swap the car for you. Isn't demanding 'return one, compensate three' a bit unreasonable?"

"I don't know about reasonable, but I do know it's legal." Ye Su narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Guanlei.

"What, the contract is written in black and white: if there is intentional concealment of a major accident, repair records, or false advertising regarding the vehicle, one can demand 'return one, compensate three.' Are you planning to go back on your word now?"

Hearing Ye Su's words, Yang Guanlei frowned tightly.

He hadn't expected that Ye Su, who looked so young, would actually be so difficult to deal with.

"Mr. Ye, it's not that we're refusing to acknowledge it." Wang Qiang, who was standing to the side, spoke up at the right moment.

"It's just that demanding our dealership 'return one, compensate three' because of a single staff error is putting us in a difficult position, isn't it?

How about this: in addition to replacing it with a new car, I'll take the liberty of upgrading you to lifetime free maintenance and throwing in a 10,000 yuan gas card. What do you think?"

"Heh." Ye Su scoffed. "Do you really think I'm lacking in lifetime free maintenance from your shop or a 10,000 yuan gas card?"

Looking at the Richard Mille on Ye Su's wrist, both Yang Guanlei and Wang Qiang knew that Ye Su wasn't just posturing.

Perhaps for a young master like him, just hanging out at a nightclub would cost five figures.

Clearly, the tricks they had used on other car owners in the past were essentially ineffective on this rich second-generation heir.

Only then did the two of them realize that they were in for real trouble this time.

But making the dealership pay over four million in compensation was absolutely out of the question.

"Then how should we handle this to satisfy you, Mr. Ye?"

As he spoke, Yang Guanlei's tone lost its initial warmth and politeness, and a chill seeped into his words.

Ye Su remained unmoved by the change in Yang Guanlei's attitude.

"Didn't I already say? We follow the contract: 'return one, compensate three.' If you don't agree, we'll see each other in court."

Seeing Ye Su's firm stance, Yang Guanlei couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore.

"Mr. Ye, I don't think there's any need to take this to court. After all, you're not familiar with the lay of the land here in Yangcheng.

Filing a lawsuit and finding people to help is a huge hassle. It's a waste of time and energy, and in the end, it'll just end up like this—us sitting down to mediate.

It would be better to discuss a solution that satisfies both parties right now, resolving this accident amicably. It saves everyone trouble, don't you think?"

The meaning behind Yang Guanlei's words was already very clear.

You might be rich, but you're an outsider after all. Here in Yangcheng, your connections certainly can't compare to theirs.

Instead of wasting time and energy on protecting your rights and fighting a lawsuit, only to have it dragged out for a year or two and end up with a mediation,

it would be better to just obediently accept his suggestion, take some compensation, and move on, saving everyone the trouble.

"That's right, Mr. Ye." Seeing that Yang Guanlei intended to drop the mask, Wang Qiang joined in with threats and inducements:

"Let's just settle this privately. If you take this to court, not only will you end up with no compensation, but you won't even be able to return the car. We won't be able to guarantee subsequent maintenance, after-sales service, or other issues. Why bother?"

Ye Su finally understood.

No wonder Chilun 4S Dealership dared to be so arrogant, selling a wrecked car as a new one and acting so unbothered even after being caught.

It turned out they were relying on their connections and relationships in Yangcheng, as well as a legal department specialized in handling these kinds of disputes.

Their car purchase information showed that he wasn't a local of Yangcheng, so while he had money, he certainly couldn't compete with them in terms of connections.

Even if he really did take it to court, they were confident they could drag the dispute out until he gave up on his own.

If they dared to be this arrogant even toward someone like him, a so-called "rich person,"

one could only imagine how difficult it would be for other ordinary consumers to protect their rights when encountering such things.

"No worries." Facing the two men's threats and inducements, Ye Su just smiled slightly.

"I only want 'return one, compensate three.' If you don't agree, we'll go to court. Anyway, I'm a person with nothing to do all day, and the one thing I have plenty of is time. I can drag this out with you slowly."

Seeing that Ye Su was completely unswayed, Yang Guanlei's gaze turned icy, and he secretly tapped a few times on his phone screen.

"Since you don't intend to fulfill the contract, there's no need for us to keep talking. Later, I'll have my lawyer send you a legal letter. We'll see each other in court."

Having said that, Ye Su stood up and left directly.

"Mr. Ye, wait a moment!"

Receiving a look from Yang Guanlei, Wang Qiang immediately stood up and called out to Ye Su, who was halfway out.

"What is it? Does Manager Wang have something else to say?"

Bang—

Just as Ye Su turned back to ask, the office door was suddenly flung open.

The sudden noise gave Ye Su a start, and he instinctively looked back.

He saw that the person who pushed the door open was a big bald guy, about 1.75 meters tall, with dark skin, both arms covered in tattoos, and a forehead so shiny it reflected light.

Just from the first impression, Ye Su could tell that this wasn't someone in a legitimate line of work.

Seeing the bald man block Ye Su dead in his tracks, Yang Guanlei's face lit up with joy. He stood up and asked, pretending not to know:

"Brother Tiger, why are you here?"

The bald man's eyes flashed with malice. After glaring at Ye Su, he boorishly roared:

"I heard someone bought a car here, messed with it after driving it back, and then came back to the shop to stir up trouble, planning to extort a huge sum of money from the shop, so I came over to see."

As he spoke, Brother Tiger narrowed his eyes, scanned Ye Su up and down, then grinned and pointed at Ye Su rowdily:

"Could it be this Handsome guy?"
