I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 389

“Young Master Chen, I am Guo Xilin!”

Guo Xilin was the President Guo mentioned by Hou Xiaoxia earlier. Chen Hao had met him during the Cloud Mansion’s Publicity Meeting at Hong County where he left him his contact number.

“President Guo, is there anything I can help?” Chen Hao asked amiably.

“There’s indeed a favor to ask from you. We are hosting a banquet and the guests are wealthy businessmen from all around the world. Initially, we weren't sure to invite you because we’re just some common businessmen and it wouldn't be appropriate for you to join. However, many wealthy businessmen and prominent figures from Jin Ling will be attending the banquet this time, and a few of the presidents mentioned that they work for you. Therefore, it’s only fitting to ask if you have the time to honor us with your presence!” Guo Xilin replied.

As a matter of fact, earning money and expanding businesses were of secondary importance to successful people like Guo Xilin. For them, connections were the utmost important aspect.

Managing and developing connections were far more advantageous than doing the same for a project.

That was also the reason why wealthy businessmen enjoyed gatherings.

To them, an opportunity as such might lead to meeting new leaders and building new connections, which in turn would represent a new opportunity to flourish one’s business.

Chen Hao had attended quite a number of these events in the past.

It was actually hard for Chen Hao to decline President Guo’s warm invitation, but he was certain he would not have the time to attend the banquet, looking at the present situation.

Therefore, he regretfully turned down the invitation on the spot.

After that, he hung up the call.

Hou Xiaoxia was focusing all ears on Chen Hao’s conversation.

“Who invited you for a meal? Which President Guo is that? Could it be President Guo from last time?” Hou Xiaoxia asked with concern.

After all, she did not wish for Chen Hao to get close with President Guo.

“Nobody!”

Chen Hao then smiled bitterly and added, “I’ve inspected the damages on the rear of your car. Xiaoxia, don’t you think 500,000 is a bit too much?”

Although Chen Hao was wealthy, he was not a foolish person who could be easily conned for money.

“Too much? Bullsh*t! When the property damage adjuster of the car repair shop arrives later, you’ll see for yourself. It might even cost more than that! Are you finding excuses because you can’t pay up?” Hou Xiaoxia scoffed.

She then crossed her arms and waited aloofly.

Yesterday, she was still uneasy as she considered the possibility of Chen Hao becoming wealthy after knowing President Guo.

She was rather afraid it might happen, and this concern contributed to her gloomy mood today.

Therefore, when Hou Xiaoxia saw Chen Hao riding an electric three-wheeler here and even tried to bargain for less than 500,000, she was relieved.

Soon, the property damage adjusters arrived.

The few of the adjusters took a while to inspect the car, followed by some discussion in lowered voices.

Finally, they packed up their tools and stood up.

“How is it? How much does it cost to repair my car? I estimate that it will cost around a few hundred thousand,” Hou Xiaoxia asked the few adjusters with her arms crossed.

“Yes. For a full repair, we estimate conservatively to be around 450,000!” the staff replied.

“Damn! 450,000?”

“That is a huge amount!”

Everyone gasped in astonishment.

Even Hou Xiaoxia was startled by the high cost and dropped her jaw. Earlier, she had even asked for 300,000 based solely on her own experience.

In fact, she was just a young commoner who turned into someone prestigious because of her boyfriend. Therefore, it was only natural for her lack of experience with luxurious cars.

She even thought 200,000 would have been enough as the repairing fee.

At once, she mocked complacently, “Chen Hao, did you hear that? The repair fee alone costs 450,000. Don’t forget about the compensation for my mental health damage due to the delay caused. I’ll leave the calculation for you. Let me tell you, 500,000 is definitely not enough to settle this accident!”

I offered you 500,000 earlier, but this amount is definitely insufficient now.

You didn’t appreciate my concession, so you shall weep in regret now!

In such a situation, Chen Hao could only shrug his shoulders helplessly as there were no other alternatives.

“Alright. Thanks for your hard work. Please issue me a repair order and you may leave. Here you go, these are some tips for you!” while Hou Xiaoxia spoke, she scooped out a few hundred and offered it to the staff.
