Chapter 5 — Ten Calls At 3:00 A.M
"No." I took out my phone. "I recorded it. The entire call at three in the morning. Do you want to listen?" Tien Thang's smile stiffened. "Listen, listen, do you think I'm afraid of you?" I opened the recording and placed the phone in the middle of the table. Turn on speakerphone. The whole grill suddenly became quiet. The recording started playing from the beginning. "Hello?" "Dude, your car is blocking the intersection of Dong Hoa Street..." Everyone perked up their ears to listen. I heard the other person say he had waited forty minutes. Listen to the other party's curse. Listen to me explain: "That's not my car, the phone number was posted by someone else." Listen to me say the name Tien Thang. Hear the other person say: "Then you move the car." Hear me say: "I don't have the key." Hear the other person say: "So what the hell should I do?" Then: The important part has come. "You can handle it however you want." The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. Bang! “It's banged.” The recording ends. There was silence on the table. I put away my phone. "Do you understand?" I looked around. "First, the person who smashed the car was a passerby who was blocked by Tien Thang's car for forty minutes. Second, he called my number because Tien Thang put my phone number on his car as a moving number. Third, the whole process I was lying under a blanket." I looked at Tien Thang. "Mr. Tien, you said I hired someone to smash the car. Please tell me, the stranger first talked to me at three o'clock in the morning. When did I hire him? How much did I pay? Tien Thang's face turned red. I don't know if it's because of the alcohol or because of other reasons. "You... you..." "There's more." I added. "Is the phone number on your car still mine now?" "I changed it!" "Changed it? When did it change?" "...Last week." "What day last week?" "...Friday." "Yes. After your car was smashed, you changed it. I looked for you twice before that, what did you say then?" I imitated his voice. "'You're just. I'm a programmer, I don't have to deal with customers, so what's the point of taking a few phone calls?'” Someone on the table laughed out loud. The blue veins on Tien Thang's neck appeared. "To Vien, don't be complacent! Even if it wasn't you who hired someone, you still told them to beat you! What do you mean, 'Do whatever you want'? Just tell them to beat you!" hate you.” I directly admitted. Tien Thang was stunned. The whole table was stunned. I sat down on the chair, picked up the cola and took a sip. "But I didn't. I just didn't want to continue answering the phone at three o'clock in the morning to move your car. I said 'do whatever you want' because I really couldn't do anything else. That car wasn't mine. I didn't have the keys, nor was I at the scene." I put the cup down. "And that person's choice to smash the car or call the police is his decision. It has nothing to do with me." I looked at Tien Thang. "What do you want?" You can sue me. I welcome it." Tien Thang's lips trembled several times. Suddenly he slammed down on the table, causing a series of wine bottles to tip over. "Just you wait! This guy will definitely sue you to death!" Then he grabbed his jacket and staggered out. Walking to the door, he turned his head and pointed at me. "To Vien, you just wait!" The curtain rattled as he knocked it away. There was silence at the table for five seconds. After that, Old Chu raised his cup. "Hey, respect To Vien." The whole table laughed loudly. The intern walked over with a cup. "Mr. To, it's great." I smiled. "Drink, don't let him ruin your fun." But in my heart I understood clearly. This is not over yet. Tien Thang said he wanted to sue me. He could really sue. But I'm not afraid. Because I still have one card in my hand. 【Chapter 5】 The next three days, pregnancy
The atmosphere in the company becomes very magical. What happened at the party that night spread throughout the floors. There are several different versions. Some people said that I publicly played the recording, causing Tien Thang to be refuted until he couldn't say a word. Some people said that Tien Thang smashed the wine bottle on the spot, almost touching it. There are also people who say that I admitted that I wanted to take revenge on him, which was extremely arrogant. I don't care which version. Because Tien Thang really took action. Wednesday afternoon, I received a text message. It's a letter from a lawyer. Tien Thang commissioned a lawyer's office to send an official letter asking me to compensate twelve thousand yuan for car repair fees and five thousand yuan for mental damages. The reason is: In the phone call, I clearly said "you can handle it however you want", which constitutes an act of inciting or tolerating a third party to cause damage, and must be jointly liable for compensation. I looked at the lawyer's letter and laughed. Really gone. This person is really willing to spend money to hire a lawyer. Old Chu came over to look, his expression changed. "Damn it, did he really do it?" "Really did it." "What are you going to do? Or do you also hire a lawyer?" "No need." "Why?" I put the phone in my pocket. "Because he can't win this lawsuit." Old Chu looked suspicious.
