“Mr. Mei, please get your facts straight. She broke my company’s things first. It’s only fair that if you damage someone else’s property, you have to compensate for it. Don’t you understand this basic principle after living for decades?”
As Mei Shu finished speaking, the phone connected, and the voice of a police dispatcher came through the receiver.
“Hello, how can I assist you?”
Mei Shu raised her phone. “Hello, someone is causing trouble in my company, intentionally breaking two very valuable vases. I’d like you to send someone over to mediate as the other party refuses to compensate.”
“Alright, ma’am, please wait. Can you please provide your address?” The dispatcher and Mei Shu communicated the specific location, and then Mei Shu hung up.
Now Pan Hua started to panic a bit. She gritted her teeth and walked up to Mei Shu, speaking word byword, “Do you have to escalate things like this?”
“Then pay up!” Mei Shu said. “Don’t you believe my things are worth 250,000 yuan in total, so you want to renege on the deal? Then let the police decide whether compensation is necessary.”
“Sister-in-law!”
Mei Ye walked over and pulled Pan Hua aside, lowering his voice. “Don’t worry,
1 know some people at the police station. I’ll talk to them.”
Pan Hua felt relieved, nodding repeatedly, and followed Mei Ye to a more secluded spot to make a call.
After a while of whispering, the two returned. Mei Ye assumed a lecturing posture. “Mei Shu, even though we have no relationship now, I still have to tell you, don’t be too naive. Nowadays, without connections, you can’t achieve anything. Without the Mei family, you are nothing!”
“Yes, today she must understand this truth!” Pan Hua gave Mei Shu a disdainful glance, then found an empty sofa near the entrance and sat down, leisurely as if she were on a sightseeing tour.
Mei Shu sneered and walked back to the front desk. “When the police arrive later, take them upstairs.”
“Okay, President Mei.” The receptionists immediately promised.
Mei Shu nodded. “Tang Mei, come upstairs with me. While we still have time, we can review another document. We’ll deal with their issues later.”
“Yes, President Mei.” Tang Mei now obeyed Mei Shu’s every word.
Pan Hua took the opportunity to mock, “What, are you scared and want to hide? If you’re afraid, just say so. What’s the point of looking at documents? You can’t understand anything anyway. Such a pretender!”
Tang Mei was irritated and wanted to retort.
Mei Shu smiled helplessly. “Talking to someone like her is lowering oneself. Just ignore her. We can see how she gets slapped in the face later. Make sure you keep an eye on them so they don’t sneak away.”
The receptionists immediately promised, “Don’t worry, President Mei, we won’t let them slip away!”
“Rest assured, I’m not going anywhere. Let’s see who gets slapped in the face later! When the police arrive and find out this vase is worthless, I’ll make sure everyone hears about it. They’ll know what you, Mei Shu, are really worth now!”
Pan Hua sat with her legs crossed, speaking mercilessly. As she finished speaking, she even hummed a tune casually, completely disregarding Mei Shu.
Tang Mei’s fists clenched, feeling itchy. She really wanted to bite someone.
Mei Shu, seeing Tang Mei’s annoyed expression, couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, let them enjoy their triumph for a few more minutes. The more they talk now, the more their faces will hurt later!”
With that, she cast a fleeting glance at Pan Hua and left gracefully, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived at the lobby of the Mei Corporation building.
As soon as Pan Hua saw them, she rushed over. “Oh, officers, you finally came! You have to help me out here!”
The police hadn’t yet understood the situation and thought she was the victim of the broken items. They nodded repeatedly. “Auntie, don’t worry, we’re here to assist the reporting party. Who did you have a conflict with?”
Looking at the mess on the floor, the police frowned subtly. “These are the vase fragments?”
“Yes, yes, that’s it. Can you believe these are worth 250,000 yuan? Isn’t this blatant extortion? I just accidentally broke the vases, and they’re demanding so much money from me!” Pan Hua poured out her grievances to the police, not holding back any details.
After listening for a while, the police couldn’t bear it anymore and interrupted her. “Wait, are you saying you broke these two vases, but they’re not yours?”
“This vase belongs to my son! But Mei Shu insists that she bought it, even spending two hundred and fifty thousand. You have to make a decision for me! Why should 1 compensate for damaging my son’s things?”
Pan Hua lied to the police without any hesitation. She deliberately wanted the police to think that Mei Shu was deliberately bullying someone before Mei Shu encountered the police. She wanted them to believe that she was the real innocent victim..
