"Are you guys trying to be a rogue?!"

Hearing the threat in Xu Qiang's words, Wang Haidong's eyes widened and he was about to go to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

"Old Wang!!" Yang Xiangdong immediately scolded after seeing this scene.

"Uncle Wang, if you wanted to fight, I wouldn't have come here today." Xu Qiang looked calm, and then said, "We are here to deal with things, not just to fight. If I get hurt here, I guarantee you will never get better."

"Lao Wang, he is a college student and will be a state official in the future. If you hurt him, it will be a serious matter!" Yang Xiangdong also said.

People these days still have a deep-seated idea of ​​officialism, especially in their area. There are not many college students in a county, and almost all of them are either highly valued in factories or hold important positions in local governments. Ordinary people are more or less in awe of them.

Sure enough, when Wang Haidong heard what Yang Xiangdong said, he stopped immediately.

"Uncle Wang, think about it with your conscience. With your current salary, you can't save up 30,000 yuan by the time you retire, right?" Xu Qiang paused, then said, "If your son was blind in both eyes, I would compensate you 100,000 yuan, not to mention 30,000 yuan! But as it stands now, only one eye is damaged. Add to the 2,000 yuan your son owed us brothers, and I'll give you another 8,000 yuan. It's already very sincere..."

"Sincerity is bullshit! What about my son's marriage?"

"If you insist on going with me, then I can't do anything." Xu Qiang pondered for a moment, then continued: "Now there are only two options before you. One option is to write a letter of understanding, and the money your son owed us will be written off. I will give you another 8,000 yuan, and your family will directly become a millionaire, and there is no daughter-in-law you can't marry. If you don't write a letter of understanding, then we will go through the government. At most, my brother will stay in prison for another year or six months. As for the compensation issue, there will be a judicial appraisal, and the government will pay as much as it says. According to similar cases I have learned, the amount of compensation will definitely not exceed 3,000 yuan. In addition, we will also sue your son for fighting and not paying back the money he owes us. The 2,000 yuan he owes us cannot be less by a penny!"

Xu Qiang spoke very logically and seemed to be very knowledgeable about the law.

In fact, compared with the information-rich era in later generations, people nowadays don’t know much about the law. Apart from the basic life-for-life and debt-for-payment, they know almost nothing about other legal details.

"Then..." Wang Haidong seemed to be stunned by Xu Qiang's words. A trace of worry flashed across his eyes, and then he said, "At least you have to give me 20,000!"

"I'm sorry, we don't have that much money. I apologize for causing you trouble today..." Seeing this, Xu Qiang stood up and was about to leave.

"Hey, Xiao Xu, sit down first, let's talk it over." Upon seeing this, Yang Xiangdong, deputy chief of the security department, immediately stopped Xu Qiang and turned to Wang Haidong and said, "Old Wang, you're almost there. The guy who beat up your son is in jail and has lost his job. Ten thousand yuan in compensation to you is already a lot. How much does your son earn in a month? If this negotiation fails, your family won't even have enough money to marry your son off..."

"But……"

"When it comes to fighting, it takes two to tango. If we really pursue the matter, your son won't be able to escape either... We have known each other for so many years, how could I harm you? What the college student said is right. In a lawsuit, no matter how many injuries you suffer, as long as you are at fault, no one can escape!" Yang Xiangdong said.

Yang Xiangdong obviously wanted to quit while he was ahead. The matter was obvious. Thirty thousand yuan in compensation was indeed a bit too high. Anyone would give so much. Ten thousand yuan was actually a lot. You know, their factory didn't have a single person earning ten thousand yuan.

"Okay then." After thinking for a moment, Wang Haidong finally nodded.

"Uncle Wang, you are more sensible." Xu Qiang smiled slightly when he saw this, took out a paper bag wrapped in newspaper from his bag, threw it directly on the table, and said, "Here is 8,000 yuan, please count it."

"Uh..." When Wang Haidong saw the paper bag, his eyes suddenly lit up. Without saying a word, he immediately tore open the outer newspaper with his hands.

When he came, Xu Qiang took out 10,000 yuan from the bank. He had no intention of giving the other party 30,000 yuan directly from the beginning. 8,000 yuan of it was wrapped in paper, and there was another 2,000 yuan in the bag. If the other party still refused to give in, Xu Qiang would at most add another 2,000 yuan, but now it seems that it is not necessary.

When the newspaper was opened, revealing stacks of Great Unity bills inside, Wang Haidong's fingers began to tremble slightly as he took the money.

The wages and benefits at their coal preparation plant cannot be compared with those at the Shengli Machinery Factory. Even an old worker like Wang Haidong, who has worked there for more than ten years, earns less than 40 yuan a month. The 8,000 yuan that Xu Qiang gives him now is enough for him to earn after working for more than ten years.

"Take this IOU as well. I have already written the letter of understanding for you. Just sign it and put your fingerprint on it, and then our business is settled." Xu Qiang glanced at Wang Haidong who was counting money, took out the letter of understanding and ink pad that had been prepared long ago, and placed them on the table.

Wang Haidong counted the money three times, confirmed that it was correct, and finally signed the letter of understanding.

As for the IOU, he tore it into pieces.

"Thank you!" After putting away the letter of apology, Xu Qiang thanked Wang Haidong and left his house.

The security personnel escorted him to the factory gate. Xu Qiang gave Yang Xiangdong a pack of cigarettes before he got on his scooter and left.

"Brother, you are awesome. I didn't expect the problem to be solved so easily. We also saved a lot of money." On the way, Xiao Gangpao gave Xu Qiang a thumbs up and said, "We will give you the 8,000 yuan when we get back..."

At this moment, Xiao Gangpao and several others were full of admiration for Xu Qiang. You know, the previous two times, even though they proposed to pay 18,000 yuan in compensation, the deal was still not reached. Instead, the conflict between the two sides became more and more serious and they almost fought.

This time, Xu Qiang only took less than half an hour and spent 8,000 yuan to solve the problem, which was something Xiao Gangpao and others could never have imagined.

It can be said that Xu Qiang's status in the eyes of his group has been greatly improved again, and is basically the same as Wang Yongsheng's prestige.

"It's not easy for you to make money in business. I don't want the 8,000 yuan. After all, Yongsheng is my brother, and I should give him the money." Xu Qiang glanced at Xiao Gangpao and then said, "Don't make trouble again in the future. This incident is a lesson. Besides, I often travel back and forth. If you want to find me in the future, it won't be so easy."

In fact, the reason why Xu Qiang spent so much money to deal with Wang Yongsheng's affairs was because he admired him as a person.

If it weren't for Wang Yongsheng and his gang, Xu Qiang's career would not have developed so fast. Wang Yongsheng is actually a business talent, and such talents are what Xu Qiang needs most.

Moreover, Wang Yongsheng has lost his job now, and there is a high probability that he will rely on himself in the future. After all, Xu Qiang has the funds and the technology, not to mention that Xu Qiang gave him so much money this time. Whether in terms of friendship or future, Xu Qiang is his best choice.

"Got it. We will never cause trouble again in the future." Little Cannon said quickly.

"You must send the letter of apology to the County Public Security Bureau before tonight. This matter must not be delayed..." As Xu Qiang spoke, he handed the letter of apology to Xiao Gangpao and said, "Don't lose it, otherwise, our trip today will be in vain."

"I know." After taking the letter of apology, Little Cannon gently put it into his underwear pocket and asked, "Brother Qiang, why don't you go with us?"

"I still have to go to Li Lin's house." Xu Qiang sighed and continued, "No matter what, we can't let her family break off the engagement with Wang Yongsheng!" (End of this chapter)
