196: Chapter 196 Qin Yi's Three Requirements

Wang Tengfei was stirred by Dong Zhixuan's appearance and was about to respond, when his phone in his pocket rang abruptly, breaking the romantic atmosphere. He frowned slightly and looked at Dong Zhixuan with a hint of apology, "Sorry, I need to take this call." As he spoke, he took his phone out of his pocket.

When he saw the caller ID was Wang Hao, a flash of surprise crossed Wang Tengfei's eyes. He muttered to himself, "Why is this bastard calling me at this time?" He involuntarily thought of the news of Wang Hao's father's passing, guessing that Wang Hao might be inviting him to the funeral.

"Hello, Wang Hao, my condolences. I've already heard about your father." Wang Tengfei answered the phone, his opening words being ones of comfort. But these words were like a dagger stuck directly into Wang Hao's lungs.

"Cough," Wang Hao couldn't help but cough, suppressing his anger, and replied with a somewhat hoarse voice, "Thank you." He took a deep breath, then continued, "Wang Tengfei, is... is Qin Yi with you?"

"Huh? You're looking for Qin Yi?" Wang Tengfei raised an eyebrow, his tone revealing a hint of caution, "What do you want?"

"Tengfei, don't misunderstand." Wang Hao hurried to explain, "I'm not looking to cause trouble for him, but... I want to apologize to him. Can you give the phone to him? I want to say a few words to him."

"No, Wang Hao, are you cooking up some scheme again? Don't I know what you're like? You? Thinking of apologizing to someone voluntarily?" Wang Tengfei exposed him without hesitation.

Wang Hao suppressed the anger in his heart and explained as calmly as he could, "Tengfei, trust me this once. I truly, truly realize my mistake. I am sincerely wanting to apologize to Qin Yi. Could you please, for the sake of our four years as classmates, help me this once? Can you? Just this once!"

Wang Tengfei was silent for a moment, his gaze shifting uncertainly in Qin Yi's direction. He weighed things internally and finally nodded, "Fine, for the sake of our four years as classmates, I'll help you once. However, I can't guarantee if Qin Yi is willing to take your call."

"Mm, okay, thank you! Thank you!" Wang Hao's voice trembled with excitement, "Don't hang up, I'll wait right here." He was terrified that Wang Tengfei might suddenly hang up, and then he would never be able to find Qin Yi again.

Wang Tengfei turned to leave but was softly called back by Dong Zhixuan, "Mr. Wang, you haven't chosen the license plate yet."

Wang Tengfei stopped and looked back at the license plates on the display screen. He pursed his lips and pointed to one, "They're all about the same, let's go with that 698." As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Zhixuan revealed a joyful smile.

"Alright, Mr. Wang, I'll take care of it for you right away!" Dong Zhixuan thought to herself, 'It seems Mr. Wang is truly interested in me, even choosing the license plate according to my preference.'

Walking up to Qin Yi, Wang Tengfei had a somewhat complex expression on his face. He showed the phone screen to Qin Yi and lowered his voice, "Fourth brother, look, it's a call from Wang Hao. He says he wants to talk to you and wants to apologize."

Qin Yi's brows furrowed tightly. He stared at the screen for a moment before looking up at Wang Tengfei. Wang Tengfei felt uncomfortable under his gaze, scratched his head awkwardly, and looked apologetic, "That, I thought he was calling to invite me to his father's funeral, so I answered. I didn't expect him to be looking for you. If you don't want to take it, I'll refuse him now."

As he spoke, Wang Tengfei reached to take the phone back, but was stopped by Qin Yi raising his hand. Qin Yi looked at him deeply, took the phone, turned, and walked aside, holding the phone to his ear, "Wang Hao, this is Qin Yi. Speak, what exactly is your business, going to such lengths to find me?"

On the other end of the line, Wang Hao felt a sudden surge of nervousness upon hearing Qin Yi's voice. Just as he was about to speak, he was coldly interrupted by Qin Yi, "Don't tell me you've had a change of heart and want to apologize. I'm not a three-year-old child; do you think I don't know what you're up to? If you have an objective, just say it directly, stop beating around the bush!"

"Cough," Wang Hao was choked for words by Qin Yi's statement. He looked at Zhou Qian, who was listening to their conversation, and Zhou Qian nodded to him in agreement.

Afterward, Wang Hao took a deep breath and mustered the courage to say, "Fine, I'll be direct. Qin Yi, I admit I've done many things to wrong you, and I apologize to you first. That... you must have heard the news about my father's accident. Now I am left with no one to rely on, and I still have the case from that night at the Nightlife Bar hanging over me. If the police close the case as a criminal matter, those 10% of shares I have left will be gone. I've already lost my father, I can't lose the shares in my hands too. I beg you, can you reconcile with me? As long as you agree to reconcile, I can compensate you two million..."

"Heh," Qin Yi sneered, interrupting Wang Hao, "Wang Hao, do you think I'm short of your two million?"

"Uh," Wang Hao glanced at Zhou Qian on the side again. Zhou Qian raised his hand, and Wang Hao understood. Wang Hao gritted his teeth and changed his offer, "Then four million! Four million should be enough, right?"

"Wang Hao," Qin Yi's voice went cold, "Let me tell you, let alone four million, even forty million, I, Qin Yi, wouldn't look twice at it! If you only want to talk about money, then there's no need to continue. I'm hanging up!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Wang Hao said urgently, "Qin Yi, let me finish! How about this, you name a figure, what will it take to reconcile with me? I beg you..." By the end, his voice already carried a sobbing tone.

Qin Yi was silent on his end for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "If you want me to forgive you, it's not impossible. But you have to agree to a few things!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Wang Hao quickly replied, "You say it! As long as you're willing to forgive me, never mind a few things, I'll agree to however many you want!"

"Then listen carefully!" Qin Yi's voice carried an unquestionable coldness, "First, you must post a video on the school forum apologizing to me, and explain clearly all the false information you spread about me at school. The apology must be sufficiently sincere; if it's not sincere enough, I won't accept it!"

Wang Hao's face turned from blue to white. He swallowed nervously, staring wide-eyed at the phone screen as if he could see Qin Yi's cold face. He said in a trembling voice, "Okay! I agree, I agree, I'll record it immediately, I'll record it immediately!"

"Don't rush, there's a second thing." Qin Yi's voice sounded again, making Wang Hao's heart jump, "Besides apologizing to me, you must also apologize to all those girls you toyed with. Given that your girlfriends include not just those from our school but also from society, you should post the apology video on Weibo. The requirement is the same: it must be sufficiently sincere!"

"Uh, this..." Wang Hao's face turned deathly pale, and his hands were clenched tightly together, appearing extremely uneasy. His instinct was to refuse; Qin Yi was simply not giving him a way out. But Zhou Qian beside him glared at him. Wang Hao sighed helplessly and had to bite the bullet and agree, "Okay, I agree to it!"

"Mm, then the third," Qin Yi continued, "You just said you wanted to compensate me four million, right? Well, I won't take the money. But the compensation you owe shouldn't be cheap. How about this: donate to the school in our class's name. Four million is a bit too little. Let's make it ten million! Remember, donate in the name of the class!"

"Ten million?" Wang Hao exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at Zhou Qian, full of disbelief, "Isn't that too much?" He lowered his voice to whisper to Zhou Qian, yet this subtle sound was still captured by Qin Yi on the other end of the line.

"What? You think ten million is too much?" Qin Yi's voice carried a chill, "Then fine, since we can't agree, there's no need to talk. I'm hanging up."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Wang Hao shouted hurriedly, "Ten million is ten million, I'll donate, I'll donate, okay?" His face was full of bitterness, as if he had swallowed a bitter herb.

"Don't force yourself," Qin Yi said coldly, "If you can't bear it, you don't have to agree."

"I'm not forcing it, I'm not forcing it." Wang Hao said through gritted teeth, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Good, then I'll wait for your results." Qin Yi said, "When you finish these three things, come find me to sign the reconciliation agreement! That's it, hanging up!" Having said that, he didn't wait for Wang Hao to say anything else and hung up the phone directly.

Wang Hao looked at the phone screen where the call had ended, the anger in his heart burning fiercely. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! That bastard Qin Yi, taking advantage of my situation! Ten million, where the hell am I going to get ten million for him!" His face was ashen, as if water could drip from it.

Zhou Qian sighed after a deep breath, stood up, and patted Wang Hao on the shoulder, "Hao, calm down! There should still be quite a bit of savings under your father's name. If it really doesn't work, I'll help you scrape some together."

Wang Hao looked at Zhou Qian gratefully, "Uncle Zhou, thank you."

"Alright," Zhou Qian comforted, "I'll take you back now. You hurry up and get those apology videos Qin Yi asked for done!"

Wang Hao nodded, and the two then left the coffee shop.

Inside Wanhao Car Dealership, the atmosphere seemed somewhat subtle. Wang Tengfei took the phone from Qin Yi, a curious look appearing on his face. He scratched his head and asked, "Fourth brother, you're just going to let that bastard Wang Hao off like that?"

"Cough," Qin Yi coughed lightly, a complex expression flashing across his face. He shook his head and slowly said, "Regardless, we were classmates after all. It's not great to take things too far. As long as he can do those three things I mentioned, it's not impossible to forgive him."

Upon hearing Qin Yi's words, Wang Tengfei sighed with emotion, "Yeah, Wang Hao's father's incident was a huge blow to him. I reckon he won't be able to hold onto his father's company, and his future really doesn't look too optimistic." As he spoke, he sighed, his face revealing a bit of regret.

"Indeed, this is what they call 'all things are fated, none are under one's control'." Qin Yi echoed with emotion.

Just as the two were lamenting fate, Zhang Bo and Dong Zhixuan walked over. Zhang Bo's face was beaming with a warm smile, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Wang, the vehicle paperwork is finished, the license plates are installed, and you can take the cars anytime."

Qin Yi clapped his hands, a satisfied smile on his face, "Good, since everything is settled, let's go." As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Bo and teased, "Qianqian will be leaving with me, Old Zhang, you won't have any objections, right?"

Zhang Bo smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, "No, no, Mr. Qin is joking."

Qin Yi smiled and nodded, then turned to Wang Tengfei and instructed, "Fatty, I won't be going with you. I'll take Qianqian's car, you drive your new car. Remember to navigate to Shenjiangwan Community! Oh right, what's the license plate number? I'll call the property management in advance to register it."

Wang Tengfei paused, then looked at Dong Zhixuan. She quickly responded, "Mod D 69896."

"Good," Qin Yi made an OK gesture, then reached out and put his arm around Xu Qian's waist. Xu Qian's face flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse. The two walked out of the car dealership laughing like that.

Seeing Qin Yi and Xu Qian leave, Dong Zhixuan immediately sidled up to Wang Tengfei. She stuffed her business card into Wang Tengfei's hand and laughed coquettishly, "Mr. Wang, if you have any problems with the vehicle in the future, you can contact me. I have time anytime." As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest, making the bottomless cleavage even more conspicuous.

Watching Dong Zhixuan's movements, Wang Tengfei couldn't help but swallow. He smiled awkwardly, nodded in agreement, and then hurried out of the car dealership, muttering to himself, "This woman, she's really something..."
