Steward Yu called a few workers, who pushed old man Su back home on a cart, with He Ximei following them.
Before leaving, she instructed Su Peng to follow Su Xiaofeng.
Although Pengzi was slow-witted, he was strong, and with him following Xiaofeng, he could help her show some authority.
Seeing there was no major issue, the other workers at the site dispersed to the work shed to eat.
Boss Huang narrowed his eyes and spoke in a friendly tone, “Su Xiaofeng, is it?
It happens to be mealtime now, and I have a lunch gathering in town.
Don’t worry, I will definitely compensate for your father’s accident.
As for how much, that will depend on your performance.”
He had a lunch planned with a few local business owners and thought it would be a good opportunity to show off by bringing Su Xiaofeng along.
Besides, to put it bluntly, money was a small matter to him as long as he was pleased.
As long as she was willing to follow him, he guaranteed that she would live a life of luxury.
“There’s no need for lunch,” Su Xiaofeng said indifferently, “Boss Huang, just now you mentioned that no matter what, you would give a compensation of thirty thousand.
I’d like to know when I can receive that thirty thousand.”
Boss Huang could mine here so brazenly not just because he was rich, but likely because he had some powerful connections, too.
If the other party needed to pay compensation, then pay it would be.
“Young lady, one shouldn’t be too ruthless,” Boss Huang sneered inwardly when he heard her mention thirty thousand — she really was greedy for money.
But as long as she was greedy, the rest would be easier to negotiate: “I did say that if old man Su couldn’t be saved or passed away, I would provide a compensation of thirty thousand.
But just now, didn’t that elderly man say your father only suffered superficial injuries and there’s nothing wrong with him?
Your father is unharmed, yet you’re asking for thirty thousand in compensation — do you think that’s appropriate?”
Young people are indeed young, lacking experience in dealing with the world.
In such circumstances, it’s rather brazen to ask for thirty thousand.
Boss Huang’s face wore an ambiguous smile, “Of course, I have a way to handle this.
I agree to give you thirty thousand in compensation, provided that you accompany me to town for a bit.
In a word, as long as you make me happy, twenty thousand, thirty thousand — it’s not a big deal.”
He paused, “Of course, my money doesn’t come from the wind; it was hard-earned by my workers, so naturally, it should be spent happily.
If I’m not pleased, forget about thirty thousand; I might have to consider even three thousand.”
He had made it so plain that any smart person who knew how to handle things would have understood.
Glancing at the unmoving Su Xiaofeng, he took a few steps forward, “My car is just below, walk with me now, and when we return, I’ll withdraw the money for you in town.
This is no small sum; with this amount, you could become the wealthiest person in the village in an instant.”
Seeing that Su Xiaofeng did not reject his approach, he moved a few steps closer, his bulky, fleshy arm stretching out to wrap around Xiaofeng’s small waist.
“So what you mean is, I accompany you for a meal, and you give me thirty thousand in compensation,” Su Xiaofeng backed away a few steps, positioning herself behind him, thwarting his attempt.
“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.
Afterwards, I can give you a few beautiful outfits and jewelry, making all the girls in the village envious of you,” Boss Huang was delighted upon hearing Su Xiaofeng’s tone, thinking that she had taken the bait.
