Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 547 - 503: This Man Is Really Stingy!
That's right, at this moment, the first thing the man thought of was that his embezzlement at the company had been discovered.
Moreover, instead of contacting him immediately, the company had already directly handed him over to the court.
This immediately made the man's face turn somewhat pale with fright.
If that's really the case, then forget about showing off here.
I'm afraid he'll be spending the rest of his life inside.
However, this fear quickly turned into some confusion.
In his heart, he couldn't help but voice his doubts: 'Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. If my actions were really exposed, then this call should have reached my phone. The phone that's ringing now isn't mine, it's Xiao Chen's.'
The more he thought about it, the more it didn't seem right. It seemed like this matter had nothing to do with him, maybe he was just overthinking it.
Thinking this, he turned his gaze to Xiao Chen:
"What trouble are you in?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen quickly shook their head:
"No, no, what could I possibly have done? I'm just a simple university student, I haven't done anything unlawful or unethical."
At this point, Xiao Chen's tone carried a hint of tears. There's no choice, for a university student inexperienced with the world, receiving a call from such a place could indeed be frightening.
Let alone Xiao Chen, at this moment, upon noticing the anomaly, all the sisters in the dorm went silent, and their wine glasses were put down.
They nervously focused their gaze on Xiao Chen, each keeping their thoughts to themselves.
Could it be that Xiao Chen has done something illegal or unethical?
If that was really the case, they would be eager to distance themselves immediately. After all, friends are friends, but when legal troubles arise, it's best to ensure self-preservation.
However, the greasy middle-aged man furrowed his brow even more upon hearing this, then signaled to Xiao Chen to quickly answer the call, regardless of the caller's intentions.
Following the middle-aged man's advice, Xiao Chen finally found some reassurance and hurriedly answered the phone.
However, once the call was connected, a slightly authoritative voice echoed from the phone:
"Hello, is this Miss Chen? We are the certain courthouse, notifying you that we have received a lawsuit from Zaohe Group against you. It's regarding your outstanding debt of 16,500 yuan to Mr. Li Wentao. We're informing you in advance that a court summons will be delivered to your school shortly. May I ask where you are now?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was completely dumbfounded. What's going on? Li Wentao is actually suing me over that 16,500 yuan?
This man is really something, suing me over such a small amount of money?
Thinking of this, she glanced at the two bottles of red wine on the table, and her resentment towards Li Wentao grew even stronger.
This man is really stingy, suing me over such a small amount of money.
Any bottle of wine I'm drinking now costs more than this amount.
It seems it was really the right choice to leave him back then.
But at this moment, she no longer felt the previous worry, instead displaying a very arrogant demeanor.
Even if this goes to court, I won't give the money back.
Meanwhile, she was thinking that if it really came to this, she wouldn't be to blame if she walked away heartlessly.
When the time comes, I'll sue him for compensation for wasting my youth.
Let's see who outplays who then.
But it seems this guy missed a word...
The greasy middle-aged man next to her heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing the voice from the phone.
He was really frightened just now, but knowing it had nothing to do with him relaxed him.
However, he was still puzzled as to who this woman owed money to.
And the fact that she owed over 10,000 yuan and didn't pay it back, even causing a court case.
Leaving aside the thoughts of the middle-aged man, Xiao Chen, while feeling much more relaxed and harboring resentment towards Li Wentao, didn't dare take it lightly since the call came from a relevant department.
She stole a glance at the middle-aged man under her seat, speaking hesitantly:
"Well, I'm not at school right now, can you deliver it later? Preferably tomorrow, okay? Or I could come pick it up myself. Besides, there's more to this than meets the eye."
Upon hearing this, the authoritative man on the phone did not agree, instead responding directly:
"Sorry, I'm just notifying you, and we must deliver it to you right away, there's no time to wait.
Furthermore, I must inform you that the other party's lawyer has applied for jurisdiction, if this isn't handled promptly we can only transfer your case to Capital City."
Transfer to Capital City?? Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was clearly stunned, what does Capital City have to do with this?
Not only that, this guy actually hired a lawyer over such a small amount, is it really necessary? I bet this money isn't even enough to cover his lawyer's fees.
"Alright, alright, I'll return to school shortly to wait for you. But I think there's some misunderstanding in this matter, I'll clarify everything with the other party later."
Given the pressure from the other side, Xiao Chen could only agree hastily.
However, her thinking was simple, at most she'd go back to school and have a good talk with Li Wentao to sort this out.
Of course, she wouldn't bring her boyfriend along — she was well aware of her own situation.
A boyfriend like this is fine in private, but if it becomes public, then her reputation would be ruined, making it hard to get by in school.
As for why she told this to her dorm mates, she has her own plans.
What exactly she was plotting is no business of outsiders.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen no longer felt like drinking that several-ten-thousand-yuan-per-bottle red wine.
Instead, she turned to the man:
"Honey, as you heard, I need to go back to school now, so I can't keep you company today."
