Hong Kong is in full swing

"clear."

The compensation plan was successfully passed unanimously. Three days later, Yi Qiaoyin and Liu Hanzhi went to the hospital to visit the injured Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun's condition has stabilized and he has just been transferred from the intensive care unit to a general ward.

In order not to disturb their rest, Liu Hanzhi and Yi Qiaoyin briefly explained the company's handling plan.

Zhang Kun turned his gaze to his wife Wu Xue. Wu Xue understood and quickly stood up and said to the two of them, "Boss Yi, Boss Liu, his injury at the factory is considered a work-related injury, right?"

Yi Qiaoyin and Liu Hanzhi exchanged glances, and Yi Qiaoyin nodded in confirmation, "It's considered a work-related injury. We just mentioned it, and compensation will be paid according to the original work-related injury standards."

Wu Xue stared at him closely. "Then according to Mr. Yi's explanation, what level of disability should my husband be considered?"

"According to current legal provisions, the loss of a forearm is classified as a Grade 5 disability. We..." Yi Qiaoyin was about to elaborate on the legal details when the woman interrupted her impatiently, "What's the maximum compensation we can get?"

She patiently replied, "That works out to about 600,000 yuan."

"Only 600,000? But your company is so big, and this is just a small amount of compensation. It seems a bit stingy."

Yi Qiaoyin's brows furrowed, and Liu Hanzhi quickly smoothed things over, taking over the conversation. "Sister Wu, I understand how you feel. It's natural for your husband to want more compensation to secure his future. That's perfectly reasonable. But the compensation has to be according to the rules, otherwise people might deliberately harm themselves for the sake of compensation. But that's what we're here to discuss today. Why not share your thoughts and see if we can come up with a solution?"

Wu Xue locked her eyes with her, "You must remember this."

Liu Hanzhi nodded in confirmation, "It was indeed me who said that."

Wu Xue turned and exchanged glances with her husband, and Zhang Kun nodded silently in agreement.

Then Wu Xue said, "I want two million."

She said firmly, "Two million, or else, no more."

Yi Qiaoyin's expression suddenly became heavy.

She turned to Liu Hanzhi and asked, "What did she just say? Did I hear it correctly?"

Liu Hanzhi's expression was also slightly embarrassed, but she still said politely, "Sister Wu, this is beyond the standard and cannot be done. Where did you hear about such a high compensation?"

"Two million isn't that common? In my hometown, someone was compensated a full two million for a work-related injury, and that happened just in the past two years."

Liu Hanzhi pressed the issue, "Is that person also a Grade 5 disabled person? As far as I know, a Grade 5 disabled person shouldn't receive a one-time compensation of two million. If it's worth two million, then it should be a Grade 1 to 3 disability. Which grade does your fellow villager fall into?"

Wu Xue was stunned for a moment. "I'm not sure about this, but I lost a full two million."

"Sister Wu, compensation is determined based on the degree of disability. You can't make arbitrary demands. Otherwise, social order will be disrupted." Liu Hanzhi reminded her again, "Also, your actions just now are suspected of extortion, which is illegal. You should understand this."

She watched the flash of panic across Wu Xue's face and continued gently, "Sister Wu, don't worry, I don't have any other intentions. We're here today to discuss compensation with you. We have plenty of time, so we can talk slowly."

Faced with the other party's friendly expression, Wu Xue was speechless and could only turn to her husband.

Zhang Kun cleared his throat at the right moment and called out, "Boss Liu, Boss Yi."

Liu Hanzhi smiled and replied, "Just tell me what you have to say."

Zhang Kun explained: "My wife has a straightforward personality and speaks directly, but she means no harm. After all, our family has suddenly encountered such a change, and our financial resources have been affected."

"We understand this," Liu Hanzhi said comfortingly. "We've already discussed this and will not terminate your employment relationship. You can continue to work at the factory."

"I also hope to continue working in the factory, but I..." He shook his empty sleeves, his expression full of pain, "I know the company treats everyone well, but Mr. Liu, this injury didn't happen to you, so you can't understand that kind of pain. When I think about the possibility of becoming disabled, my heart..."

His words revealed deep pain, "Really, it feels so hard to live."

Liu Hanzhi remained silent.

Zhang Kun observed their reactions and continued, "Boss Liu, Boss Yi, I know this two million may seem like a small sum to you, but for me, it's my hope for a better life. You're all well-off, so could you please be more understanding?"

Yi Qiaoyin closed her eyes.

Liu Hanzhi was a little annoyed and almost couldn't control herself. Her phone vibrated twice, which calmed her down. She looked at him directly and said, "You think we have received many orders over the years and made a lot of money, right?"

Zhang Kun forced a bitter smile.

Liu Hanzhi explained, "It's normal for ordinary employees not to know the inside story. We're not complaining right now, but if you were to investigate, you'd find out. We're still burdened with a 100 million yuan loan, and most of our income goes towards repaying it. Honestly, I beg you to show some mercy and give us a way out."

Faced with this unexpected situation, Zhang Kun was stunned and opened his mouth. Liu Hanzhi took the opportunity to say, "You should also know that many companies and factories don't care about their grassroots employees. Even if they want compensation, they will delay it until you despair. Some would rather go to court than pay."

Liu Hanzhi continued, "I believe you've privately considered how to ask for it, but we still have to say, if this is the case, wouldn't the world be in chaos? Besides, think about it carefully, is 600,000 really too little? If I remember correctly, your hometown is in a remote mountainous area. Even if you really have no other choice, you can still live a good life with this money when you go back, right?"

Zhang Kun's expression flickered and he looked embarrassed.

After Liu Hanzhi finished speaking, "You need to rest now. We'll leave first and you can think about it carefully. We will definitely take care of the medical expenses. You can rest and recover."

Liu Hanzhi stood up and Yi Qiaoyin left with her.

Wu Xue immediately asked her husband, "What does she mean by that? It's up to her whether she wants to give it or not. Why is she bringing up the company's debt? What does their debt have to do with us?"

Zhang Kun explained, "This is her negotiation tactic. Of course she wants to appear pitiful. Okay, did you record everything just now?"

Wu Xue took out a recorder and pressed the stop button. "Don't worry, I recorded everything."

Liu Hanzhi and Yi Qiaoyin returned to the car and called Yu Wan to complain, "How dare you ask for two million! Just for a broken arm, you want that much? At this rate, everyone in the factory will have to learn this. We might as well just switch careers and start a disabled persons' federation."

Yu Wan said she understood: "That's understandable. That's money most people can't earn in their entire lives. It's natural to want to fight for it when you have the chance. It's okay, just wait and give them some time to think it over."

Tianhe tried to give Zhang Kun time to think, but Zhang Kun did not seem to be willing to give Tianhe the same leniency.
