Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Chapter 257 - 255: Rolls-Royce Splashed with Fluorescent Liquid

Wu Yun watched the group of girls laughing and joking around up ahead. He turned to Gao Qiang and said, "Look at them. They’re so full of life. This is hardly an interrogation. You’re overthinking things!"

Gao Qiang explained, "It’s just that I don’t have much experience! I had a crush on someone back in high school, but I’ve never actually dated anyone."

Wu Yun slapped Gao Qiang on the back. Seeing him grimace in pain, Wu Yun put on a stern face and said, "Are you saying I’m the experienced one here?"

Gao Qiang said, as if it were obvious, "Of course! When it comes to girls, you’ve definitely got way more experience than me!"

"You little—!" Wu Yun raised his hand to smack him again, but before it could land, Gao Qiang had already bolted ahead.

"Xiaojing! Save me!"

....

「Yishan Residence.」

The eight of them fit perfectly around a large, round table.

After expertly ordering a large hot pot of pork rib soup and a large dry pot with a combination of pig’s trotters and shrimp, Zhang Xiaojing began to formally introduce Gao Qiang to her roommates.

Upon learning that Gao Qiang was studying civil engineering, Liu Qianqian teased, "Xiaojing, it looks like you’ve found a successor for your dad!"

Although Zhang Xiaojing had a strong personality, she still defended Gao Qiang. "His family is in construction too! So he doesn’t have to marry into my family."

A roommate said with a laugh, "So it’s a powerful alliance! Xiaojing, we’ve always heard you say your grandparents care a lot about matching social status and zodiac signs. This shouldn’t be a problem now, right?"

In fact, when they first met, Zhang Xiaojing had already checked if their zodiac signs were compatible. Gao Qiang, born in June 1996, was a Rat, while she was a Pig—a very compatible match.

And so, the rest is history.

"The zodiac signs are fine, and our families’ social standing isn’t a huge issue either! I believe Xiaorong will definitely be successful!"

Just then, Wu Yun’s phone rang. It was a call from Peng Zhijian.

Wu Yun stood up. "I’m going to step outside and take this call."

He answered in perfect, standard Mandarin, "Hello, President Peng."

"President Wu! The due diligence on Pinduoduo is complete. When are you thinking of coming to Modu to discuss financing?"

"Tomorrow or the day after, I think..."

Wu Yun’s voice faded as he walked farther away, until he was out of the room.

In the private room, which hadn’t been particularly rowdy, the atmosphere suddenly erupted.

Liu Qianqian’s face was full of curiosity as she asked, "Gao Qiang! Is your childhood friend *the* Wu Yun from the news?"

Everyone, including the cool and beautiful Li Zitong, turned to stare at Gao Qiang, making him a bit uncomfortable.

Seeing him hesitate, Zhang Xiaojing said loudly, "What are you being so bashful for? It’s not like we’re going to blab!"

But then her tone shifted. Zhang Xiaojing glanced at the door to the private room before leaning in and asking in a low, curious voice, "Come on, tell us! Dongdong is especially curious about him!"

Gao Qiang glanced at the sweet-looking girl in the schoolgirl-style outfit sitting where Wu Yun had been. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "That’s right. Little Red Car is Ah Yun’s company. He told me he wanted to start a business before we even started college, and that’s when he founded it."

Since they were Zhang Xiaojing’s roommates, Gao Qiang felt it was necessary to give them a heads-up. "Don’t get too curious, though. Ah Yun already has a girlfriend!"

After he spoke, he added a thought internally: ’And more than just one!’

However, to Gao Qiang’s surprise, the girls’ appetite for gossip was far greater than he had imagined. The topic of conversation only died down when Wu Yun returned.

Wu Yun pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing everyone staring at him, he cracked a joke, "What is it? Do I have something on my face?"

Over the course of the meal, the group got to know each other much better, and the girls’ impression of Wu Yun was no longer one of a cold, aloof figure.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaojing suggested they go see a movie that afternoon. It was her treat, and she bought eight tickets for a theater at Salt Market.

"Perfect, we have two cars! Zitong has one, and Wu Yun has one!"

...

However, things didn’t go as planned.

The group made their way to where Wu Yun had parked.

When he saw the state of Wu Yun’s car, the sleepy, post-meal haze Gao Qiang was in vanished instantly. He roared, "Who the hell did this?!"

The passenger side of the Phantom, with its blue-gray paint, was covered in a pale green, paint-like substance.

Gao Qiang leaned in and sniffed it, discovering it also gave off a somewhat pungent odor.

Hearing Gao Qiang’s roar, Li Zitong and the three other girls, who had been heading off to get their car, turned back.

The more worldly Li Zitong said in surprise, "Isn’t that fluorescent liquid?! Who would be so malicious as to splash it on a car! Well, that’s just great. The paint job is going to be completely ruined!"

Wu Yun frowned at the sight. While the repair cost was trivial to him, such a disgusting act still angered him.

On the passenger’s side, eighty percent of the door was covered in traces of the fluorescent liquid, and the window was spattered with green droplets.

Gao Qiang tried wiping it with a tissue. He found that it could be scrubbed off the glass with enough effort, but the paint underneath was already stained.

"Ah Yun! What are we going to do?" Gao Qiang felt guilty, never expecting something like this to happen when he’d invited Wu Yun out.

Wu Yun’s expression was calm. "What else can we do? Call the police, of course."

Wu Yun scanned the area and noticed several security cameras pointed in their direction.

"Ah Yun! There’s a note here!" Gao Qiang’s sharp eyes spotted a folded piece of white paper tucked under the windshield wiper.

Wu Yun took the note. It read: "Hey handsome, so sorry! I accidentally spilled some fluorescent liquid on your car when I passed by! How much for a car wash? I’ll transfer it to you~ My number is 189*********, giving you a chance to add a pretty girl’s WeChat, you know~"

After reading the note, Wu Yun laughed in exasperation. ’The ignorance and confidence of this woman...’

Not wanting to make a big fuss, Wu Yun first used the work phone he’d been carrying for the past few days to call the Xiaohuzi Auto Detailing Center.

"Boss Mao! I wanted to ask you something. Someone spilled fluorescent liquid on my car. Can it be cleaned off?"

On the other end of the line, Xiaohuzi was shocked. "Young Master Wu! How did you get fluorescent liquid on your car? That stuff is basically impossible to wipe off, and it’s corrosive! Let me ask, which part of the car is it on?"

"The exterior of the passenger side door, and a little on the glass," Wu Yun said, wiping at the liquid on the door with a tissue as he spoke.

"I’ll send you a video. Take a look for me." With that, Wu Yun hung up, took a short video, and sent it to Xiaohuzi.

A moment later, Xiaohuzi called back.

"Sigh... Young Master Wu, I can’t handle this here. The paint on that door is probably a total loss. I suggest you ask the dealership how much it would cost to repaint it."

"And who knows if insurance will even cover this kind of damage!" Xiaohuzi’s voice was filled with regret. He had just washed the car to a sparkling clean finish that morning; he never thought it would end up like this just a few hours later.

"Okay. Thanks."

Next, Wu Yun called his Rolls-Royce sales representative and asked how much it would cost to fix the damage.

He quickly got a response from Rolls-Royce: "Six figures. We’ll have to bring it in for a damage assessment to get an exact price."

Wu Yun hung up the phone and said to Gao Qiang, "You all heard that. Qiangzai, call the police."

You can’t let this kind of thing slide.
