In the living room, the brush holder that Shen Nanyi had bought was broken into several pieces. Wang Yaozong was the one closest to the scene of the accident.
Shen Yi's expression was extremely solemn, and Zhao Shuyan's face didn't look good either.
"Um... I didn't do it on purpose." Wang Yaozong didn't know what to say and just blurted it out subconsciously. He wasn't even scared yet.
At this moment, Wang Yaozong had no idea what kind of thing he had broken.
"It's okay. Just compensate me one million yuan at the market price." After a few glances, Shen Nanyi roughly understood what had happened and walked to the center of the "battlefield".
"You're just robbing people! A little thing like this costs one million yuan?!" Wang Yaozong reacted strongly and simply didn't believe what Shen Nanyi said.
Seeing Wang Yaozong's attitude, Shen Nanyi finally believed that the two of them were family. Otherwise, how could they have the same attitude when making mistakes?
Their first reaction was not to think about whether it was their own problem but to claim that they were being cheated.
At first, Shen Nanyi didn't want to make things too tense openly, but now she changed her mind and directly called the police.
There was a police station right at the entrance of the community, so the police arrived quickly. The facts were clear and the evidence was conclusive. They didn't need to ask too many questions and quickly took Wang Yaozong into custody.
"Director Wang, do you want to settle this privately or through legal means?" When the police were about to take Wang Yaozong away, Shen Nanyi asked with a smile, thinking that she had been extremely kind.
She had offered him a way out. Whether he would take it or not was up to Wang Yaozong.
"Your whole family are fraudsters! See you at the police station!" Up until now, Wang Yaozong still didn't think he had done anything wrong. He was extremely stubborn.
Since things had come to this point, Shen Nanyi didn't say anything. The police directly took Wang Yaozong away, along with the broken brush holder.
Finally, the house returned to quiet, but Shen Nanyi was a bit afraid to look at Shen Yi.
After all, Wang Yaozong was Shen Yi's superior. She had completely offended him today. No one could say for sure whether Shen Yi would encounter trouble at work in the future.
It was all because she hadn't been able to control her temper just now. Shen Nanyi felt a bit regretful at this moment.
"It's okay. This job isn't very interesting anyway. If necessary, I'll just change to another one. The most important thing is that you two are happy." Seeing through Shen Nanyi's thoughts, Shen Yi spoke softly with a determined look in his eyes.
He had wanted to change his work environment for a long time, but he had always had various concerns before and hadn't taken any action.
Now, thinking about it, he didn't need to be so entangled. At present, there was no need to worry about the family's financial situation. Maybe he really could consider doing something he liked. For some reason, Shen Yi suddenly had a feeling of relying on his daughter.
The more unconditionally Shen Yi supported her, the worse Shen Nanyi felt. Having lived three lifetimes, Shen Yi and Zhao Shuyan were the kindest to her.
Just as the atmosphere was getting emotional, Shen Yi's phone rang again. The caller was the lawyer he had hired before, mainly to deal with the Sun Qiang incident.
"Hello, Mr. Shen. The verdict for Sun Qiang has been announced today. He has been sentenced to ten years in prison." The lawyer on the other end of the phone spoke crisply and briskly.
"Ten years?!" Hearing the number from the other end of the phone, Shen Yi was extremely surprised.
He had long expected that Sun Qiang would be sentenced, but he didn't expect it to be for such a long time.
The case was over and the lawyer had received his payment, so he became more talkative and patiently explained it to Shen Yi.
The whole thing was actually Sun Qiang's own doing. If it was just the act of vandalism, he would have been sentenced to at most three years. The key was that before the verdict, the local police station in Sun Qiang's hometown had sent some information.
Sun Qiang's wife and parents had directly accused him of bigamy, failing to support the elderly, and domestic violence against children.
Suddenly, Sun Qiang's sentence was increased by several levels. As the saying goes, those who do evil will surely reap what they sow.
After hearing the whole story, Shen Yi didn't feel any sympathy but just felt a bit sad.
The playmate from his youth had finally gone on a different path from him as time passed.
"I want to give some money to Sun Qiang's family in the form of a subsidy to help the two children go to school." After hanging up the phone, Shen Yi remained calm for a long time. Finally, he spoke in a low voice.
It wasn't out of sympathy for Sun Qiang but because he didn't want the children in his hometown to follow in Sun Qiang's footsteps. Reading more books always provided more choices.
Zhao Shuyan didn't have any objections to this. Knowing that the younger daughter in Sun Qiang's family was even younger than Shen Nanyi, Zhao Shuyan dug out all of Shen Nanyi's old clothes.
"A random task has been activated. The time limit is ten hours. The scope is the community. The consumption target is the residents of the community. The amount is five hundred thousand yuan. There is no physical consumption. If the task is successful, you will enter the next stage. If you fail, your health points will be deducted." Before Shen Nanyi could even properly reflect on things, the system's task came unexpectedly.
"The requirement is to involve more than fifty people. The funds have arrived. The task has begun." Before Shen Nanyi could react, the system spoke again.
Shen Nanyi felt a pang of anger in her chest. At this moment, she not only wanted to curse but also had the urge to kill the system.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Nanyi's little brain started to work at full speed. How could she manage to involve fifty people in just ten minutes? Shen Nanyi fell into deep thought.
"I'm going out for a while." After a moment, Shen Nanyi came up with an idea and quickly ran outside. Although her legs were short, she ran extremely fast. Zhao Shuyan was just a bit slow to react and almost couldn't keep up with her.
Having lived in the community for so long, Shen Nanyi was very familiar with the surrounding environment. She ran towards the property management center at a fast pace.
It was just after six o'clock, and the property management center was about to close. When Shen Nanyi rushed over, the staff were already about to lock the door.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Nanyi shouted at the top of her lungs. If the property management center closed, she really didn't know how to complete this task.
She couldn't just go door - to - door in every household to give out money, especially since time didn't allow it.
"Nanyi? What's wrong?" Shen Nanyi was well - known in the community for being sensible, well - behaved, and good - looking. Everyone around knew her. When they saw it was Shen Nanyi, the voice of the property management staff softened.
"Sister, I need your help with something." Running such a long distance in one breath was a bit too much for Shen Nanyi's small body. She was gasping for breath and it took a great deal of effort for her to say a complete sentence.
Fortunately, the community staff were very enthusiastic. They led Shen Nanyi inside, let her sit on a chair, and thoughtfully poured her some warm water.
At this moment, Shen Nanyi felt that the money she had spent on buying the house was really worth it. Just the property management was excellent.
"Well, we've lived in this community for a long time and have a good relationship with everyone. I want to do something for everyone." After taking a few sips of water, Shen Nanyi finally caught her breath.
The community staff only knew that Shen Nanyi was sensible before and had never had direct contact with her. Now, hearing Shen Nanyi speak so logically, they were a bit slow to react for a moment.
Not everyone could stay calm when seeing a five - year - old child speak like an adult. This was also the reason why Shen Nanyi didn't talk too much on usual days.
"I understand. What exactly is it?" It took the community staff a full minute to finally react. They tried to talk to Shen Nanyi with an adult's mindset.
Even though they tried their best to control themselves, the staff still couldn't help but smile. Their tone became much softer.
"I want to pay the electricity bills for fifty households, ten thousand yuan for each household. Do you think it's okay?" Since time was urgent, Shen Nanyi didn't have much time to make a long introduction and directly stated her intention.
After she finished speaking, the whole room fell into an eerie silence. Although Shen Nanyi tried her best to hide it, she could still sense that the staff thought she was joking and simply didn't believe what she said.
"There's five hundred thousand yuan in this card. Can you operate it now?" Having seen this kind of expression many times, Shen Nanyi's mood didn't fluctuate much. She directly took out her bank card.
Seeing the gold card in Shen Nanyi's hand, the expression on the staff's face froze for a few seconds, and then they looked completely incredulous.
"Have your parents agreed to such a big thing?" After a long while, the staff finally found their voice. They also realized that Shen Nanyi wasn't joking, but they didn't dare to take the bank card that Shen Nanyi was offering.
According to what Shen Nanyi said, there was at least five hundred thousand yuan in the card.
Just then, Zhao Shuyan rushed in. She looked at Shen Nanyi and then at the expression on the community staff's face, looking completely confused and not knowing what had happened.
"Mom, do you agree?" Looking up at Zhao Shuyan, Shen Nanyi wasn't worried at all that Zhao Shuyan would refuse her.
Zhao Shuyan had no idea what was going on and simply nodded subconsciously. She unconditionally trusted her daughter's actions.
"Is it okay now?" After getting Zhao Shuyan's affirmation, Shen Nanyi turned to look at the staff. She didn't have much time and really couldn't afford to waste any more.
"But we need to get the consent of the residents for paying the electricity bills." Looking at the mother - daughter pair, the staff felt that their previous knowledge was really shallow.
They had always thought that this family's financial situation might be very ordinary. Who could have imagined that they would spend hundreds of thousands of yuan at once? Maybe the real wealthy families were all low - key.
"We don't need to for paying the electricity bills, right? No one would be unhappy, would they? I really want to do something for the community." Shen Nanyi quickly spoke and put the card on the table.
After hesitating for a while, the community staff actually thought that what Shen Nanyi said made sense and started to swipe the card.
The moment the amount of the card - swiping was announced, Zhao Shuyan couldn't stay calm anymore. At this time, Zhao Shuyan didn't know that there were even more maddening things waiting for her.
