As the security guards stepped away, Gao Shengyuan and his wife shambled to Nian Junting. Gao Shengyuans hair was grey, his eyes were sunken, and his face was filled with a sickly look. The red-eyed Mrs. Gao cried out loud as soon as she saw Nian Junting.
Mr. Nian, were barely hanging on. Please forgive us, she cried.
Yeah, its a misunderstanding, Gao Shengyuan chimed in. About what happened to you in the hospital we didnt do it. Those workers from a construction site of our company did it, and I knew nothing about it. I lived in the hospital during the time, and I was too sick to even get out of the bed. We cant go back home. We cant go back to the hospital either. Mr. Nian, you see, weve been working together for years, and Im an old man. Please give us a break, please. Youre such a generous man.
After saying that, Gao Shengyuan dragged his wife down to the ground and began kowtowing again.
Ahyaya, what a busy morning. Xiao Si walked in slowly with a wicked smile while tossing his car keys, as if he was here to watch a show.
Mr. Xiao, please intercede with Mr. Nian for me! Gao Shengyuan hurriedly turned to grab Xiao Sis pants.
Oi, dont touch me! Xiao Si stepped away immediately, as if Gao Shengyuan had some kind of infectious disease. Old people like to blackmail others these days. Youre at this age, so I dont want to take responsibility if you faint.
Hearing his sarcastic words, Gao Shengyuans wrinkled face froze a little. Then, he turned back to continue kowtowing to Nian Junting.
Enough. Nian Junting narrowed his eyes, which were radiating coldness, and said, If you want me to give you a break, youre gonna have to ask this lady beside me first. From the beginning to the end, shes one who suffered the greatest harm. Lets see if she agrees.
While speaking, he fixed his eyes on Luosang with a meaningful look, and the others did the same.
Luosang paused. Seeing Nian Juntings mouth curved in a faint smile, she suddenly realized something.
Nian Junting valued his reputation very much, so he would never let people know that someone had tried to pour a bucket of piss on him. Right now, Gao Shengyuan and his wife were trying everything to show how miserable their life was, and Nian Junting didnt want to act too cruel and ruthless. So, she now needed to deal with this whole thing.
According to what she knew about her boss, he did not, and would never want to forgive Gao Shengyuan.
It seems that I have to be the bad person now. Hes an exploitative capitalist indeed, she thought.
Gao Shengyuan quickly looked at Luosang from head to toes. Based on her cheap clothes, he guessed that she was most likely just a help. So, he was relieved slightly, as he believed that people like her were the easiest to deal with.
Lady, I let that happen by failing to restrain my employees. How much money do you want? Ill compensate you with as much as you want.
As much as I want? Luosang smiled coldly and responded, Alright then, give me ten million, and we can forget about what happened.
Ten million? Gao Shengyuan paused shortly, as he couldnt believe his own ears. Lady, you see, youre standing here, perfectly unharmed. You dont seem to be hurt severely. Our company isnt doing well right now, and were really short on funds. Youre demanding an exorbitant price. We wont be able to afford that price, not even if we, an old couple, give you our lives, he said.
Yeah? Luosangs gaze suddenly turned sharp as she said, The barrette on Mrs. Gaos hair seems to be from PORE from Italy. PORE isnt one of the most well-known luxury brands, but I heard that even a simple barrette from that brand is worth over a million. I dont think youre short on money, as Mrs. Gao is still wearing such an expensive barrette.
Once she said that, all the employees who were watching were surprised. Even Nian Junting and Xiao Si looked at her in surprise.
Mrs. Gao automatically tried to cover the barrette with her hand, seemingly flurried.
