An hour later, Ning Wei was in another workshop, watching the mechanic assess her bike. She eyed the old mechanic with her hawk-like gaze. She wanted to see if the man Feng An Yu had introduced her to was genuine.
After observing the old man for a while, Ning Wei's gaze finally softened. Seeing that the mechanic seemed to know what he was doing, Ning Wei finally breathed in relief.
"Young man, repairing this bike will not be that cheap," the mechanic said after looking around the bike and testing it for a while. "Are you sure you want me to proceed? I think it's better for you to buy a new bike instead. This model is quite old," He patted the bike. "The spare part is not easy to get. So, it will be quite pricey."
"I know." Ning Wei's eyes turned gentler as she looked at her bike. "But, Boss, I still want my bike to be repaired."
The mechanic stared at Ning Wei before retracting his gaze with a shrug. "Alright then."
As someone who has been working at the shop for a long time, the mechanic has met a lot of people. There would be people like Ning Wei who did not mind spending money to have their old bike repaired. This bike should have a special meaning. That was why Ning Wei wanted the bike repaired, no matter the cost.
"I'll take a look at it first and calculate the cost," The mechanic suggested. "I'll let you know the cost first before I do anything. Just think about it first and tell me your decision later." Without waiting for Ning Wei to reply, the mechanic turned around to look for one of his workers.
Ning Wei followed the mechanic with her eyes until she spotted Feng An Yu at the side. She thought that Feng An Yu had left after introducing her to the workshop, especially as it took the mechanic a while to check on her bike. Surprisingly, Feng An Yu was still around.
Their gazes met.
After a brief hesitation, Feng An Yu walked over to Ning Wei.
"You heard what the boss said," Feng An Yu said. "It would be cheaper to get yourself a new bike." He believed that the amount of money Ning Wei made as a celebrity would be enough for him to get a couple more bikes. They would be better than the one he had.
"I know." Ning Wei lowered her gaze before turning to her bike by her side. "But this one had a special meaning. It's my first bike that I bought with my money."
She cannot remember when exactly she started to be interested in bikes. But Ning Wei remembered working hard to buy one. She worked a few part-time jobs in high school and was finally able to buy one before she graduated.
"The boss told me that he will try to fix it," Ning Wei said. "It will be expensive. But it's not as if I cannot afford it." She adjusted the mask covering her face. "I just don't know if I can trust this place."
The previous workshop tried to cheat her out of her money. She did not want the same thing to happen again.
"You can be at ease. This workshop is reliable," Feng An Yu said.
Su Ming Yuan was the one who recommended this workshop, and Feng An Yu trusted his friend.
"If you think the boss is trying to cheat you, you can come and find me." Feng An Yu pulled out a name card from his pocket and handed it over to Ning Wei. "I will reimburse your loss."
Ning Wei took the card and blinked when she saw the company's name as well as the man's position. She raised her head to give Feng An Yu another look.
Phoenix Pharmaceutical… It seemed that Feng An Yu was a big shot at a big company. Was that the reason someone wanted to take advantage of him at the club that night? When she helped Feng An Yu that night, she did not expect that he would be someone with such an identity.
"What?" Feng An Yu frowned under Ning Wei's scrutiny.
"It's nothing." She shook her head and smiled. "I did not expect that you would be a big shot." Ning Wei waved the card in her hand. "Thank you." She slid the name card into her pocket. "I will trust this place since you are the one who recommended it."
The mechanic walked over with a phone in his hand. He gave Feng An Yu a look, silently assessing the man before turning to Ning Wei. "How about this… Why don't you leave your bike here? If I cannot find the spare part or fix your bike, I won't ask you for the money."
Ning Wei looked surprised. This was the first time a workshop did not ask her for a deposit, especially when her bike's spare parts were not that easy to get. "Boss, are you sure?"
The mechanic nodded. "Since you're a good friend of Young Master Feng, I'll give you this special treatment."
A few minutes ago, he got a call from Su Ming Yuan, asking him to look after Feng An Yu. The mechanic decided to give them a good discount and treatment, as Feng An Yu and Su Ming Yuan were friends.
Ning Wei shot another look at Feng An Yu. Hearing the mechanic addressing him as Young Master Feng made her curious about Feng An Yu's identity.
A Young Master. Just who exactly is this person?
After discussing with the mechanic for a bit, Ning Wei decided to drop her bike off at the workshop. The mechanic promised to contact her again in a few days to discuss the repair.
Ning Wei left the workshop in a good mood.
The mechanic did not promise that her bike would be fixed, but Ning Wei was positive. At least this workshop did not try to cheat her out of her money.
"Come with me."
Feng An Yu's voice made Ning Wei look up. She shot Feng An Yu an inquiring gaze, wondering why this man wanted her to come with him.
"I'll drop you off at your place," Feng An Yu said. "You don't have a transport to get back, right?"
Ning Wei was stunned by the offer. "It's alright. I'm not going back to my place. I still have another place I need to go."
"Then, I'll drop you off. This will be convenient to you."
Ning Wei hesitated briefly before she finally nodded.
