Chapter 1089: The Lawless Thug Who Disregards the Law!
Chen Shunfei called Cheng Xin over.
"I just received a call from County Magistrate Mao. Hurry up and negotiate the follow-up compensation for the injured worker at the construction site. Don't drag it out any longer. Otherwise, you can stop being this General Manager."
Some time ago, among the three female employees fired by the company, one of them had a good relationship with Cheng Xin.
The reason she gossiped about Li Haizao was actually because she relied on Cheng Xin as her backer.
Chen Shunfei had fired his own confidante without a word, and Cheng Xin was still harboring resentment in his gut.
However, he knew Chen Shunfei's personality; if he showed any dissatisfaction, he would definitely be kicked out.
Cheng Xin returned to his office, contacted a Lawyer, and arranged to meet at the hospital.
Walking into the ward, Zhang Liang stood up, staring at Cheng Xin with a sharp gaze.
Cheng Xin felt a chill and wondered to himself how a half-grown boy could have such a fierce look in his eyes.
He coughed and asked with feigned concern, "Old Zhang, how is your condition today?"
Zhang An said expressionlessly, "Manager Cheng, thank you for your concern. My condition is just like this; I reckon it will be like this for the rest of my life."
Cheng Xin sat down beside Zhang An and said earnestly, "I have inquired about your condition with the doctor. Actually, continuing to lie in the hospital is not good for anyone.
The company also hopes to provide you with a reasonable solution.
A one-time buyout of 500,000 is already a very high compensation.
You must know that Old Ding only received 1,000,000 in compensation after he died.
If the company gives you the same compensation, Old Ding's family will definitely come to me to demand an explanation."
Zhang An gave a bitter smile, "What is the difference between me being like this and being dead? If I were dead, that would be the end of it; I wouldn't need to eat or drink, there would be no expenses, and it would actually be a relief."
Cheng Xin touched his nose, a look of helplessness appearing in his eyes, "Old Zhang, I am also just an employee; please don't make things difficult for me. Within my authority, I will add another 50,000 for you, and this matter will be completely finished. How about that?"
Zhang Liang spoke up at this moment, "We need to consult Teacher Gao."
Cheng Xin sighed and said, "Xiao Zhang, there is a matter you seem to be unaware of. Your Teacher Gao is already lying in the hospital. Moreover, the school should have been putting pressure on him as well. I admire Teacher Gao's character, but sometimes such people are very easy to retaliate against."
Zhang Liang looked at Cheng Xin in shock, "You actually moved your hands to beat Teacher Gao?"
Cheng Xin said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense; hitting people is against the law. Teacher Gao being beaten must be because his hands are too long and he offended someone. It has nothing to do with me, and nothing to do with the company."
Zhang An understood what Cheng Xin meant; although his waist was broken, his mind was very clear.
Now that this group of people dared to lay a hand on the teacher, they might hurt his son next.
"Manager Cheng, I have thought it through. I will sign; let it be."
"It's good that you've thought it through." Cheng Xin also let out a long sigh of relief and gave the Lawyer a wink.
The Lawyer placed a contract by Zhang An's hand.
Zhang An signed his name with a trembling hand.
Zhang Liang clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger as he watched the two leave.
"Dad, why did you agree? Why didn't you consult Teacher Gao before making a decision?"
Zhang An said helplessly and bitterly, "Xiao Liang, I am already a cripple; I don't want to drag more people down. Teacher Gao is a kind-hearted person who has fallen into a predicament because of my affairs.
You don't have enough understanding of this society; some people can no longer be described as just bad."
Zhang Liang could feel Zhang An's helplessness and knew his compromise was unavoidable.
"Dad, I respect your opinion."
Zhang Liang walked out of the door in anger, digested his emotions downstairs, and then found his way to the emergency inpatient department.
After some inquiries, he found Gao Bin's hospital bed.
Gao Bin's face was wrapped in bandages, his entire face swollen and unrecognizable.
Zhang Liang couldn't hold it in for a moment, "Teacher Gao..."
Seeing Zhang Liang wailing, Gao Bin hurriedly comforted him, "I'm fine, it's all just superficial wounds."
Zhang Liang wiped his tears and said, "Teacher Gao, it was me who dragged you down. If you hadn't managed my affairs, you wouldn't have been hurt so badly."
Gao Bin was stunned for a moment and said, "You child, don't internalize the conflict; don't blame the problem on yourself. The ones who are wrong are those bad people. After I recover, I will definitely not let those people off."
Seeing that Gao Bin was in such a miserable state yet still spoke so firmly, Zhang Liang was deeply moved.
If he had seen the darkest side of humanity from his father's injury, then he saw light from Teacher Gao.
"Teacher, I'll tell you one thing: my dad has already signed. We will be discharged this afternoon."
"How much are they willing to compensate?"
"550,000!"
Gao Bin widened his eyes; it did not meet his expectations!
A deep sense of powerlessness washed over him!
"Sigh, I can understand you both."
Cheng Xin returned to the company and immediately found Chen Shunfei.
"How was the construction site accident compensation plan handled?"
Cheng Xin was all smiles as he placed the agreement by Chen Shunfei's hand, "The matter is done. Zhang An signed it this morning."
Chen Shunfei asked in surprise, "How did you manage it?"
Cheng Xin said triumphantly, "A candle won't light unless it's lit. Yesterday, Jiang Guangtou went out and gave that teacher surnamed Gao a beating; the effect was top-notch. Upon learning that the teacher had been beaten and had lost his backbone, plus we threatened him that if he didn't sign, his son wouldn't be able to go to school and the teacher would be fired, he compromised."
Chen Shunfei patted Cheng Xin on the shoulder, "You've started using your brain to do things; this time the handling of the problem was quite mature. Well done! Scan the agreement, and I will email it to County Magistrate Tang."
Cheng Xin hurriedly said, "I'll go arrange it right now."
Half an hour later, Mao Yu received Chen Shunfei's email and subsequently forwarded it to Tang Ye.
"County Magistrate Tang, the Shunteng Development Company has already handled the dispute. The injured worker has already signed a settlement agreement."
Tang Ye examined the signature on the email and the compensation amount, then let Ma Ran into the room to speak.
"Take a look at this email."
Ma Ran leaned over, finished reading it quickly, and said in surprise, "550,000? According to Gao Bin's wishes, he hopes to secure 1.2 million in compensation for the victim! I'll go look into the situation."
Tang Ye frowned and said, "Go look into the situation."
Ma Ran returned to his office to call Gao Bin's wife, and by beating around the bush, he managed to get the results.
He returned to the office and reported, "County Magistrate Tang, I have looked into it. People from Shunteng Development Company found Zhang An this morning and intimidated him with expulsion and firing Gao Bin. Zhang Liang chose to compromise."
He had originally thought that by making the call himself, he could make Chen Shunfei feel some awe.
He never expected him to become even more unscrupulous!
What a madman who truly disregards the law of the land!
Tang Ye angrily slapped the table and smashed the ashtray onto the floor.
After a long while, Tang Ye gradually reined in his anger.
Ma Ran cleaned up the fragments, left the office, closed the door, and clicked his tongue in secret.
He rarely saw County Magistrate Tang this angry.
When County Magistrate Tang gets angry, generally speaking, there will be no good fruit to eat!
