"You don't need to tell me that. Look, you've already sacrificed your leg for the country. How heartless would I have to be to covet your few compensation payments? Don't worry, the profits and losses of my own business have nothing to do with you."

Yes, whether he makes a profit or a loss is irrelevant to him.

After hearing this, Zhan Beiqin sneered and then asked with disdain, "Then where did you get the money to build the factory? Did you take out a bank loan?"

“I have a piece of ancestral land. Coincidentally, I am my mother’s only daughter, and my mother is my maternal grandfather’s only daughter. I definitely have the right to inherit the ancestral land, which saves me a lot of money.”

Once I receive payment from Cui Qinghe, if he sells well, I'll discuss with him about getting an advance payment for our next collaboration. Then, as you mentioned, I'll use my land as collateral for a bank loan.

Another part is Chu Yue, who is now my partner. She has also offered to invest money. You know the Chu family is not short of money, and Chu Yue is the apple of their eye. If she wants to invest, she won't be stingy."

"Ren Rongzheng, let me kindly remind you, don't think too highly of Chu Yue's father just because of her. The Chu family's history of rising to power is not clean."

Such a large mine couldn't be taken down without some tricks up your sleeve. It's no exaggeration to say that Chu Yue's father has blood on his hands.

As you just said, Chu Yue is the apple of the Chu family's eye. If she benefits from being with you, everyone will be happy; but if she suffers losses because of you, her father will definitely not let you off the hook.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Can someone who can rule such a big mine be so kind? Of course I know that Chu Yue's father is not someone to be trifled with. Since I dared to bring Chu Yue into my group, I will not let her father stand against me in the future."

But don't worry, if that day ever comes and Chu Dali comes to our house with a three-meter-long machete, I'll let you push the wheelchair and run first, and I'll cover your retreat. How about that? Pretty good, right?"

At this moment, Ren Rongzheng could not see the contemptuous expression on Zhan Beiqin's face, an extreme contempt.

Chu Dali, carrying a three-meter-long machete, stormed into their house? He dared?

Afterwards, Ren Rongzheng took a leisurely stroll and pushed Zhan Beiqin home. From afar, they saw Ren Naiyao and Ren Rongxue standing at their door.

"They're back."

Upon seeing the two of them return, Ren Rongxue said to Ren Naiyao, "They've waited so long, both hoping for her return and not wanting her to come back."

This vindictive woman now has something on her hands; do you think she'll let them off easily?

"What's with this wind today? How did it manage to blow Factory Director Ren and his daughter, whom I've already severed ties with, to my doorstep?"

Hearing her speak, Ren Rongxue already inwardly scoffed at her sarcastic tone!

"Rong Zheng, you know why we're here. Let's not beat around the bush. This time, your stepmother was confused. What do you want us to do to reach a settlement with us and release your stepmother?"

"Director Ren is indeed very direct, but there's one thing you need to understand: this whole thing was caused by your wife's malicious intent in hiring people to cause trouble at my stall. I'm completely innocent."

"Yes, she was wrong this time."

Upon hearing this, Ren Rongzheng looked at Ren Rongxue and asked, "Factory Director Ren has spoken, so what about Miss Ren?"

Ren Rongxue pouted, but no matter how unwilling she was, she had to bite the bullet and admit her mistake: "It was...it was my mother's fault."

"That's it? Not even an apology? Fine, if you're unwilling, then we won't force you. We'll talk about it in court."

After saying that, Ren Rongzheng pushed Zhan Beiqin into the courtyard. As they entered the courtyard, Ren Rongzheng was about to close the gate when Ren Naiyao hurriedly said to Ren Rongxue, "Hurry up and apologize."

"..."

"Quick!"

This was Ren Rongxue's idea. She wanted to get Liu Lanying out of trouble as soon as possible, and she was also afraid of upsetting Ren Naiyao and losing his favor.

"Ren Rongzheng, I'm sorry, I apologize to you. Please be lenient and let my mother come out first."

Ren Rongxue originally thought that the two scoundrels hadn't seen Liu Lanying's face, but had only heard her voice. They thought that if she slightly altered her voice when they tried to identify her, and then stubbornly denied it, the police wouldn't be able to do anything without evidence.

To her utter surprise, just minutes after Liu Lanying was brought to the police station, news came from inside that she had confessed, confessed to everything.

Hearing this, Ren Rongxue was also worried. She confessed so quickly. Did the police use some special methods? Did they really hit her?

Thinking of this, Ren Rongxue was also terrified, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Ren Rongzheng's house with Ren Naiyao so quickly.

"It's rare to hear Director Ren and Miss Ren apologize. I'm not the kind of person who holds a grudge. Liu Lanying going to jail doesn't actually benefit me at all."

"Yes, Rong Zheng, although we've had some unpleasantness, we're still family after all. Let's be forgiving when we can, what do you think?"

Hearing Ren Rongzheng say this, Ren Naiyao seemed to see a glimmer of hope and quickly put on a smiling face and said another sentence.

"It won't do me any good if Liu Lanying goes to jail, but I'm not that magnanimous."

"..."

Ren Naiyao and Ren Rongxue's faces were ashen. What exactly did Ren Rongzheng want?

"Three demands: First, Liu Lanying must apologize to me herself during the mediation; second, your Ren family must write a guarantee that you will not cause any further damage to my business. If you do it again, I will absolutely not forgive you and will deal with all consequences severely. All three of you must sign the guarantee."

Third, because of the vandalism by those two scoundrels, I had to sell my remaining clothes at a 50% discount, a fire sale price. You must compensate me double for the economic loss, plus 500 yuan for my emotional distress.

"Five hundred yuan?" Upon hearing this price, Ren Rongxue jumped up immediately. "Ren Rongzheng, what kind of compensation are you offering? Asking for so much? You're simply..."

"Rong Xue!"

Ren Naiyao immediately reprimanded Ren Rongxue, who could only swallow her anger.

“Rong Zheng, you just asked me for three thousand dowry, and now you want another five hundred? That’s way too much. You know that even if you don’t forgive your stepmother, what she did wasn’t a big deal, and she’ll be out soon.”

But as you said, it wouldn't be of any real benefit to you if she went to jail. So let's compromise. I'll agree to the first two points you mentioned, and I'll compensate you for the third point, which is the compensation for your clothes.

As for compensation for emotional distress, I've never heard of that before, but frankly, that's an exorbitant amount. Three hundred yuan—I'll give it to you right now if you agree. Three hundred yuan is seven or eight months' salary for an average worker; it's a lot."

After saying that, Ren Naiyao took out three hundred yuan that he had prepared in advance from his bag. This was his bottom line. If Ren Rongzheng asked for even a penny more, then the law would decide how Liu Lanying would be punished.
