The temptation to change color 賈德諾 3415Words 2023-02-05
A tall, neatly dressed man who spoke like a college graduate walked towards Bu Aiqian. The suitcase in his hand was made of real elephant leather, inlaid with polished brass fittings.The hands leaning on Elsie's desk are well maintained, the nails are carefully manicured and white nail polish is applied. Is Mrs. Ke there?he asked politely. Haven't come to work yet. The man looked at his watch, as if he was not used to his work being affected by other people's fatigue.It's already nine fifteen.He said. Sometimes she didn't come until ten or ten-thirty.Bu Aiqian told him.

real? Since Bu Aiqian didn't answer his question, the man continued: I'm from Mutual Insurance Company.I believe Mrs. Cole once placed an ad in the paper seeking witnesses for an automobile accident. Bu Aiqian looked up at him and said: I have nothing to say. Are you saying you don't know?Showing educated surprise, he asked Bu Aiqian. I mean I have nothing to tell you.My job here is to type.Mrs. Ke is in charge of everything here.I The door opens. Ke Baisha entered with a swing.While asking: Ai Qian, is there any news about Tang Nuo?Her eyes hadn't adjusted yet, and she didn't see the man in the office at all.

not yet.Bu Aixi said. The tall man moved to Ke Baisha: I think you are Mrs. Ke, right? Baisha poked out her square chin.Look right, take a good look! The man blushed and said: I didn't mean it, I just blurted out and got used to it.I'm from Mutual Insurance Company. What's your last name?Baisha asked. R. L.Fu.He said.Pronouncing his own name curlingly from his tongue seems to be quite tasteful.While putting his neatly manicured fingers into the lower pocket of the suit vest, he took out a business card case, and the business card case opened automatically with a soft bang.He took out a business card.While closing the card case and putting it in his pocket, he bowed slightly and handed the card to Ke Baisha.

Bai Sha got the business card, looked at it, and touched the material of the famous card and the printed characters on the card with her hand, as if she was estimating the value of the other party.She asked: What is your business? Mr. Fu said: You are investigating a car accident.You go to the newspaper and look for witnesses.Of course, our company took notice. Why? It looks as if you want to file a lawsuit. So what, Baisha asked hostilely.In fact, what she objected to was the other party's cultivated and gentle demeanor.There's nothing wrong with that.I want a lawsuit, I want a lawsuit.

Yes, yes, Mrs. Cole.Please don't get me wrong.I mean, maybe there is no need for a lawsuit at all. Betha stubbornly refused to let him into her private office.She stood looking at him with greedy, bright little eyes. The door leading to the corridor opened and closed, and Bu Aiqian coughed loudly on purpose. Baisha didn't realize it immediately. Mr. Fu spoke in a voice deliberately hoping to impress others: Mrs. Ke, this matter may not need to be resolved by law at all.It is very likely that the insurance company of the case, that is, our Mutual Insurance Company, is willing to take this good opportunity to do some advertising work and get some money to settle out of court.

Bu Aiqian coughed loudly again.When she saw that Ke Baisha didn't look back at her at all, she said: Mrs. Ke is not free at the moment, can you come back later?Bu Aiqian's tone of voice made Bai Sha look back. The down-and-out man who came to apply for the job because he saw a car accident and refused to give his name was standing there enjoying the drama in the office. Baisha said to Mr. Fu: Come to my office.Then he turned to the witness and said: I am afraid I have nothing to do for you today. It doesn't matter if I wait.he said with a smile.Sit comfortably by yourself. I will never have any business with you.

Never mind, I'll have to wait anyway. I have absolutely no interest in you. Yes, yes, Mrs. Ke, it doesn't matter.He picked up a magazine from the low table, casually flipped through a page, and devoted himself to reading it with interest. Mr. Fu approached the door of Baisha's private office courteously, opened the door, stood to one side, and bowed politely. Baisha sailed into her office like a battleship.Mr. Fu closed the door and stood in front of the customer seat by the window, obviously waiting for Bai Sha to take a seat first. Purely because she was still angry, Bai Sha deliberately delayed for a few unnecessary seconds, and then sat herself in her office swing chair.

Mrs. Ke, of course you will understand, Mr. Fu calmly continued to talk about his purpose of coming here.Our mutual benefit insurance company is not obliged to take care of this matter.We just have a preliminary understanding of today's matter, and see if we can make big things into small things, and make small things into nothing.It's different if you really want to file a lawsuit. If a case like this goes to the Supreme Court, they may think that the evidence is insufficient.Besides, courts most encourage parties to settle out of court. Kebetha said nothing. That's it.Mr. Fu continued to say in a trance: Mrs. Ke, we want justice.Many laymen think that insurance companies are heartless and cunning.People think that insurance companies raise insurance premiums, and when paying compensation, try to stay as hard as possible and pay less.Mutual insurance companies want nothing more than justice.After the car accident, if the responsibility lies with our policyholders, we will definitely pay a reasonable monetary compromise, or even spend a little more money, we don't care.

Mr. Fu lifted the suitcase into his lap, opened it, and took out a file. As he rummaged through the papers with his manicured fingers, he made various expressions on his face for Baisha's appreciation: raised his eyebrows to show Concern, frown to show surprise, frown to show sympathy for the pain of the injured. Bai Sha said impatiently: Well, if you want to say something, say it quickly. Mr. Fu looked up at her.Mrs. Ke.He said: If you give us a waiver of litigation rights, signed by the injured person personally and effectively, we will pay 1,000 yuan in cash. You are so thoughtful of us.Baisha said teasingly.

Of course, Mr. Fu went on tentatively: In fact, the injured person was very lightly injured.Besides, the person you represent doesn't really care much when they want to cross the street, and may even want to cross the street at a red light.In case of going to court, the defendant will of course have to raise these self-defenses, and it is very likely that it will never be determined which side is at fault.However, the policy of our mutual benefit insurance company is that after our insured hits someone, we give priority to compromise with the other party without a lot of money until the other party files a complaint.In case the other party does not accept our good intentions, but must file a complaint, our company will fight the lawsuit to the end, and we will not give the other party a chance to compromise.We rarely lose in lawsuits.We would rather spend more manpower and financial resources to fight the lawsuit if we don’t give the plaintiff a dime as soon as we go to court.Mrs. Ke, I think you should think about it and accept our offer of a thousand dollars in cash.

Mr. Fu put away the file, put the file back into the elephant leather suitcase, closed the box, pressed the brass lock into place with a click, and stood up holding the suitcase.It's like an actor waiting for the applause after the curtain call after a play. Bai Sha said: How can a thousand dollars compensate this woman for her loss. One thousand yuan is not only our first asking price, but also our last asking price.Our mutual benefit insurance company will definitely not increase a dime. Baisha's anger exceeded her patience, and she shouted: How much are you willing to pay!I hate your posturing. She took advantage of his feet to enter the reception room, slammed the office door, and came back angrily to sit back on the swing chair. Suddenly, she thought of another visitor outside.She hurriedly stood up and opened the door, just in time to see the door of the detective agency outside close in time. Where did the sloppy go?She asked Elsie, emphasizing by pointing her thumb and head at the position where the lazy young man was sitting just now. Bu Aiqian said: As soon as the insurance company went out, he chased him like a dog and followed behind. Bai Sha thought about the progress of the situation, and her face sank.The big bastard.She said seriously: This two-headed, liar on the fence.See if I get a chance not to fix him.I have to go see Dai Sephine quickly before these people surround her first. Betha grabbed her hat, pinned it tightly to her silver-gray hair, and was about to open the door, which opened from the outside.A man in uniform stood outside the door with a paper envelope in his hand.Kebaisha Telegram.He said: The recipient pays. Who sent it?Kebaisha asked. The paper delivery man looked at the note and said, "A Lay Donno, from San Francisco." Baisha snatched the envelope, pointed to Elsie and said to the newspaper delivery man: collect money from her.Elsie, take the money from the change box and pay him first. Betha hurried back to her own office.Open the envelope with the paste still wet.The content of the telegram is as follows: The letter and the photocopy of the will have been received, please pay attention to the text difference between the two parts of the will.A home page is a strongly personal opinion on a particular object.The next page is apparently partially transcribed from another document.Judging from the passage of the bequest to Ge and Bao, it seems that a cynic wants to dispose of all his property.Also, all the provisions seem to appoint a person to implement.There are also obvious differences in the use of text on the two pages.It is recommended to research whether the will has been used to remove ink tampering or other problems.Bless you, Tang Nuo. Baisha stared at the telegram, held her breath and murmured: His grandma, this clever little bastard! The door opened, and Bu Aiqian asked: Any news? Yes, Betha said angrily: send him a letter to that address in San Francisco.Ask him since it is a telegram paid by the recipient, why should he come to bless this set, wasting money.
