Chapter 1172 — Something Has Gone Wrong! And Yunhai Shuku, on Little Mule's Money, Bulk-Ordered a Whole Load of Plumbing and Renovation Supplies, and Business Grew More and More Prosperous! So, While Making Money, the More Yunhai Shuku Looked at Er Goudan the More He Liked Him — This Young Man Was His Family's Lucky Star; If He Became His Son-in-Law, That Would Be Quite a Fine Thing Indeed!

"You're Old Yu, right? Don't get excited just yet... The other party has wealth and power, and the mistress of the house is utterly unreasonable. When I went to negotiate, I nearly got bitten by the lion myself! And I've confirmed it — what they're keeping really is a lion!" Manager Zhang smiled bitterly. "They won't hear a word of reason. They flung fifty thousand yuan at me and told me to get lost..."
"Ah!" Yunhai Shuku was taken aback, and only then did he recall the earlier business with Master Li the boxer. Yes — he was one of the lowliest, with neither power nor influence; how could he dare provoke such wicked people? The other party lived in a villa, clearly no ordinary folk, and they even kept a lion — how could that be anything he could take on?
"Old Yu, the fifty thousand yuan — the company won't keep a cent of it; it's all been put down at the hospital. And the general manager of our parent group called me just now, saying these are people of the Xiao family, that we can't afford to cross them. I think we'd best let this matter drop, and the company will compensate you with a sum as well... Don't go looking for trouble, or you'll drag the company into it..." Manager Zhang sighed. "Here in the middle of it, we're in a hard spot too!"
Hearing Manager Zhang say all this, Yunhai Shuku of course had even less recourse! If even Manager Zhang's superiors were helpless, every one of them cowed by the other side's power, what could he possibly do?
"Then my wife's leg... will it heal?" Yunhai Shuku looked at his wife on the bed in some agony.
"The doctor said a full recovery is no problem, but there will be a slight limp..." Manager Zhang did not hide it either. "It won't affect her movement, though, and the company will compensate you with a sum — enough for the two of you to live on. As for this matter, the group's stance is to let it go... don't make a big fuss!"
"Money? Money solves this? What about the lion? I'm going to settle accounts with that woman, and kill that lion with one punch!" Er Goudan flew into a rage at Manager Zhang's words. What kind of world was this? How could a lion and a vicious woman frighten these people so badly?
What was so great about it? If it came down to it, he would just go beat them to death!
"Zhou Qiming, don't be rash..." Yu Yuanyuan was startled and quickly caught hold of Er Goudan, checking his impulse!
This business was plainly different from the earlier affair at the underground fight ring. When a man died at the underground fight ring, he died, because that whole thing was illegal to begin with; dead, they dared not make a fuss either, they could only swallow the loss — could they call the police?
But this time was different. The other party's pet had merely bitten and injured her mother. If Er Goudan went and beat someone to death, the affair would blow up enormously, and when it did Er Goudan would end up in prison for certain. How could Yu Yuanyuan let Er Goudan do such a foolish thing?
So Yu Yuanyuan kept shooting Er Goudan looks, telling him not to be rash!
Luckily, though Er Goudan was simple and honest, he was not stupid. Seeing the looks Yu Yuanyuan was giving him, he shut his mouth as well, though the anger on his face had not faded.
Manager Zhang glanced at Er Goudan and shook his head, thinking, Where did this hotheaded young fool come from? Is he kin to Yunhai Shuku, or his son-in-law? How can he act with so little brains? He wants to beat them to death? He'd better not get himself bitten by that lion next!
"Old Yu, that's all I have to say on the matter, and this is as much as the company can do. I'll be off first — I'll go back and apply for compensation for you!" Manager Zhang shook his head. There was no need for him to stay here any longer.
