Chapter 9: The Mysterious Slap!

  The traffic police officer got out of the car, walked up to Zhang Ziheng, saluted and said: "How were you driving just now? You almost had an accident! Do you know that? Please show me your driver's license."

  "No, Officer, listen to me..."

  "Show me your driver's license." The traffic police didn't give Zhang Ziheng a chance to explain.

  "Officer, I..."

  "No need for an explanation, show me your driver's license."

  "But I don't have a driver's license."

  The traffic police officer was taken aback, furrowing his brow and saying: "No driver's license but you're still driving? Who do you think you are? Driving such a good car and telling me you don't have a license, I despise people like you who are rich second-generation."

  "Officer, listen to me. This car isn't mine, it's hers. I'm just a company employee, not some rich second-generation kid. She insisted that I drive, but I really don't have a driver's license and I don't know how to drive." Zhang Ziheng hastily got out of the car to explain to the other party.

  Seeing Zhang Ziheng being troubled by the traffic police, Wang Xue was delighted in her heart, but she said: "Who told you to drive? It's obviously your own idea, I tried to stop you but couldn't. You even wanted to hit me when I didn't let you drive."

  "You... how can you say that? Officer, she's not telling the truth, she..."

  "What's wrong with you? I've seen many people like you, stop playing dumb. No driver's license and still dare to drive, I think you're lucky to be alive. Stop wasting words, take out your ID card for me to see." The traffic police officer said irritably.

  It seems that I am now unable to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River. Zhang Ziheng had no choice but to take out his ID card. At the same time, he had already scolded Wang Xue in his heart and was so angry that he wanted to go up and bite her.

  "Officer, I was wrong. I won't dare to drive without a license again. And this is my first time, can you please give me another chance?" Zhang Ziheng said pitifully.

  The police officer smiled and nodded, saying: "Alright, your attitude isn't bad. Is this really your first time?"

  "This is really the first time, you see me like this, who looks like someone driving around recklessly? I...” Zhang Ziheng said with a glance, whispering to the traffic police: "Actually, she's my girlfriend, we had a falling out, and she did it on purpose. This car is also hers, she just wants to see me embarrassed. Don't believe me? Look at her, she looks so happy, as if she can't wait for you to take me away."

  The traffic police looked at Wang Xue and saw that she was indeed very happy, so he understood and nodded his head saying: "I see, if it were any other time I would definitely detain you, but this time let's just forget about it. However, the fine still needs to be paid." As he said this, he handed a penalty notice to Zhang Ziheng.

  "What? Are you going to fine me again?" Zhang Ziheng said with a sorrowful face.

  "Hey, you're already lucky enough to be unharmed, what more do you want? Take good care of your girlfriend and don't play with your lives again. You guys are not only putting yourselves in danger but also others. This accident could have been disastrous for anyone involved," the traffic police officer said with a heavy heart.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded, indicating understanding.

  "Alright, I'm off. But don't drive again, or else I'll definitely catch you and bring you back." The traffic police officer said as he mounted his motorcycle and left.

  Looking at the fine in his hand, Zhang Ziheng felt depressed and secretly thought that he was so unlucky.

  "Hey, what were you whispering to that traffic cop just now? Afraid I'd hear?" Wang Xue asked as she got out of the car and walked up beside him.

  "There's nothing, but this time you have to pay the fine." Zhang Ziheng said in a bad mood, turned around and got into the car, sitting in the passenger seat.

  "I'm asking you, do you have any shame? What makes you think I should pay? You were the one driving, you were the one who caused trouble, and yet you're asking me to pay the fine for you. Don't you have any conscience?" Wang Xue said with a glare, but in her heart, she was extremely happy.

  "Are you reasonable? It was clearly your fault for letting me drive the car, and yet you blamed me earlier. If it weren't for you, would this have happened? You should be the one to take responsibility."

  Wang Xue smiled and said, "So what if I let you drive the car? So what if I wronged you? You think I'll pay a fine for you? Dream on, unless I'm crazy."

  "You..." Zhang Ziheng was so angry that he really wanted to go up and slap this girl. But in the end, he thought better of it, there's no point in talking reason with this kind of person. He snorted and ignored her.

  Looking at Zhang Ziheng's sulky face, Wang Xue laughed happily and thought that the play was almost over, so she drove towards her destination.

  Ten minutes later, the two arrived at a coffee shop. The investor's people were already there, an American and a sweet-looking girl.

  "Hello, we are from Feiyu Company to discuss the project. I am the planner of this project, my name is Wang Xue. This is one of our company's designers, he is in charge of designing for this project." Wang Xue said with a smile as soon as she sat down.

  The lovely girl smiled slightly and said: "Hello, this is Mr. Wilson, I'm his translator, my surname is Han, you can call me Translator Han."

  "Hello, what would you like to drink? Just order anything, I'm treating." Wang Xue said with a sweet smile.

  After the courtesy, Wang Xue got to the point. "We came this time to discuss the issue of funding, because of the design relationship, so we may need to use a large amount of funds. This is the plan I made, please take a look." As she said that, Wang Xue handed Wilson a document.

  Mr. Wilson took it and looked at it carefully, then shook his head slightly and said a lot with a serious expression.

  "Mr. Wilson means that it's a huge expense, quite different from what was originally discussed, and he doesn't understand why so much money is needed." The Korean translator smiled.

  "Regarding the funding issue this time, actually the largest part is spent on hiring stars. Because we plan to use China's first-line singers, so the advertising costs are relatively high. This is the design draft designed by our designers, please take a look." Wang Xue said with a smile as she took the design draft from Zhang Ziheng: "Now it's the era of idols, everyone likes to chase stars, including myself. If we can invite all the stars on this list, I think when the advertisement and billboard come out, it will definitely be extraordinary."

  Listening to the Korean translator's explanation, Mr. Wilson looked at the design diagram and nodded frequently. After a while, he said: "If we do as you say and invite all these stars, what if we don't get the expected effect in the end?"

  "This Mr. Wilson, you can rest assured, I have absolute confidence in my design." Zhang Ziheng hastened to say, while giving a apologetic smile to the translator Han, saying: "Actually, I can understand it, my English was not bad when I was in school either."

  Mr. Wilson smiled and shook his head, saying: "To be honest, I appreciate your confidence, and I also like your design. However, these are just your own ideas and cannot represent everyone. As for the funding issue, I need to think about it carefully and will get back to you once I've made up my mind."

  As soon as they came out of the coffee shop, Wang Xue scolded Zhang Ziheng: "Are you out of your mind? Who told you to speak nonsense? Do you have that qualification? I was already talking well, but you ruined it with one sentence. Can you afford this loss? You're really an idiot."

  "What I said is all fact and Mr. Wilson has already said that he will consider it. I also want to do this project well, there's no malice." Zhang Ziheng explained.

  "How dare you talk back to me? You want to die, don't you? Do you believe that I can crush you with just a flick of my finger?" Wang Xue said with a fierce glare.

  "I believe it, I believe it, of course I believe it. You're the big sister of Feiyu Company, everyone has to look at your face to do things, as long as you want to do it, there's nothing that can't be done."

  "What's your attitude? How dare you speak to me like this, apologize to me at once."

  "Hmph, let me apologize to you, no way. Zhang Ziheng thought to himself, not even bothering to reason with her. Just like Xu said, you say your part, and I'll just pretend I didn't hear it."

  "Are you listening to me or not? Apologize to me quickly!" Seeing Zhang Ziheng ignoring her, Wang Xue's voice grew even louder, attracting the attention of many passersby.

  Shout louder so everyone can see, look at you this shrew. Zhang Ziheng thought to himself, but his face was a picture of grievance, as if Wang Xue was being unreasonable.

  "Apologize quickly, did you hear what I said? Are you deaf or dumb?" Wang Xueyue shouted and got angrier, he actually dared to ignore her.

  "Little girl, stop scolding him. Look at your boyfriend, he's been scolded by you until he doesn't dare to say a word. I think that's enough," said an old lady who couldn't bear it anymore and walked over.

  Other passersby also nodded in agreement, as if sympathizing with Zhang Ziheng.

  "Hey, who's whose boyfriend? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, old lady, this has nothing to do with you, just stay out of it." Wang Xue was still fuming at the moment, how could she care about these things.

  "Hey, you little girl, how can you be so unreasonable? The old man is trying to help you, you should thank him instead of talking back like that?" Now even the others couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to collectively scold Wang Xue.

  Haha, got what's coming to you? Serves you right, aren't you fond of scolding? If you have the guts, keep scolding. Zhang Ziheng can finally breathe a sigh of relief now, having been annoyed by her all day today, and this is considered revenge.

  "What's wrong with you guys? Rushing over here to stir up trouble, aren't you annoying?" Wang Xue angrily shouted at the passersby.

  "To all the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who are passing by, thank you. Sorry about this, my girlfriend is having a bad mood today, actually she didn't mean it, she's still very kind at heart, I'm apologizing to everyone on her behalf." At this time, Zhang Ziheng hurried out to mediate, if the quarrel continued, more and more people would gather around.

  "Hey, what did you just say? Dare to say it again and see!" Wang Xue pointed at Zhang Ziheng, shouting angrily.

  "Alright, girl, look at how good the young man is, don't make a fuss anymore."

  "What do you know? Who is his girlfriend?"

  "Alright, stop making a fuss, come with me." Zhang Ziheng suddenly yelled at Wang Xue, then pulled her away.

  When they reached a deserted place, Wang Xue struggled free from his grasp and slapped him.

  Zhang Ziheng rubbed his face, thinking to himself that this slap was indeed somewhat inexplicable.
