"Mr. Yang, how are you? We need to get you to the hospital right away." I frowned and stepped forward, immediately instructing the employee beside me, "Take Mr. Yang to the hospital."

Yang Qianmu stood up, glanced at me, and asked with concern, "Can you handle this? I heard she's your stepmother, so I didn't have the heart to call the police..."

"It's okay, I'll call the police. You should go to the hospital to treat your wound." I replied to Mr. Yang and picked up my phone to dial 110.

But Tang Xiu'e rushed over and grabbed my arm as if she had seen a lifeline: "Jiang Wan! You can't call the police! Jiang Hao hit someone with his car and is locked up too. If I go in as well, who will get him out!"

I remained calm: "Jiang Hao hit someone, what does that have to do with me?"

"He's your own brother! If you want to sever ties, you should at least ask the law if it allows it!"

For once, Tang Xiu'e's mind became surprisingly sharp, and she started arguing with me about the law.

"But I'm not a lawyer, how can I get him out of trouble?"

“You can do it, you have money! I don’t want more, just 50,000. The other party’s family wants 50,000 in compensation. As long as the compensation is in place, they are willing to settle out of court.”

fifty thousand……

It seems the collision wasn't too serious; at least no one was killed.

I had a plan in mind, so I calmly pulled out a chair and sat down. "Fifty thousand isn't a lot, but I've helped you this time, and there will be next time, countless times. You can't keep causing trouble and I can't keep being extorted by you."

Tang Xiue retorted indignantly, "Do you think I wanted this? You sold all the shares to Jiang Hailing! We're just a widow and her children, we don't have any income at all!"

Seeing her arrogant attitude, I immediately stood up, not intending to talk anymore: "If you're going to be like this, then I won't have a penny. I think we should call the police and let them handle the matter of you injuring someone."

I turned to leave, but Tang Xiu'e chased after me and stopped me again.

Since she needed his help, she held back and finally lowered her attitude, "Jiang Wan, I... I promise this will only happen this once, and it won't happen again. Fifty thousand is just a drop in the ocean for you."

I looked at her, my brow slightly furrowed.

She looked much older than I had seen her in a while; it seemed she had been having a tough time.

But I felt no sympathy; instead, I felt a strange sense of joy.

It's all retribution; God has finally seen the light.

"I can give you the money, but not for free." I had a plan in mind, wanting to put a tight rein on her so she wouldn't keep extorting me in the future.

Tang Xiue was taken aback and immediately said, "I have no money, I can't pay it back."

“You may not have money, but you still have your hands. You can work for me to pay off your debts.”

She was taken aback, looked up at me with a mixture of suspicion and wariness: "Work for you? What kind of work?"

I shifted my stance and said calmly, "The company has three cleaners on each floor, but to give you a job, I can make an exception and add one more. You can work as a cleaner on the floor below, earning 4,000 a month, including meals but not accommodation—I won't waive the interest on this 50,000 yuan; you can pay it off in two years, how about that? Of course, if Jiang Hao joins us, you two can easily pay it off in a year. After you've paid it off, if you want to stay, then continue working, and I'll pay you a salary. If you don't want to stay, I won't force you."

Before I could finish speaking, Tang Xiue's face contorted with rage as she struggled to suppress her anger.

As soon as I finished speaking, she pointed at me angrily, gritting her teeth, "Jiang Wan! This is an insult! With a company as big as yours, can't you just give me any position? You want me to be a maid!"

"Why should I give you a position? What if you mess things up for me? I even ask you to clean the house and you complain that you're dirtying my floor, and you still don't know what's good for you."

I really didn't want to waste my breath on this kind of person, so I turned around and left after saying that.

Tang Xiue chased after him from the conference room again, "Jiang Wan... Jiang Wan—if you don't give me the money, believe me, I'll come to your company and cause trouble every day?"

"Go ahead and make a scene. The longer you make a scene, the longer your son will suffer in there."

This statement successfully put Tang Xiu'e in her shoes.

She paused, stood there stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly shouted at me, "I promise! As long as you give me 50,000 today, I'll work for you to pay off my debts!"

Without pausing, I instructed Cherry beside me: "Have the lawyer draft a loan agreement, have her sign it, and then have the head of the cleaning department come over to help her with her onboarding. Remember, there will be no preferential treatment; she must strictly adhere to the company's performance evaluation system."

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

After returning to the office, I called the employee responsible for taking Yang Qianmu to the hospital to find out what was going on.

When I learned that Mr. Yang needed stitches, I felt very bad and decided to visit him in the hospital.

After all, he was hurt because of my personal matters.

On my way to the hospital, I made a phone call to find out what happened.

It turned out that the wound was caused when Tang Xiu'e threw a tantrum and, in the chaos, hit Yang Qianmu on the head with a folder. Blood gushed out on the spot.

I was still shaken; thankfully it didn't hit anyone in the eye, or it would have been a huge problem.

Thinking about all this, I felt that the punishment for Tang Xiu'e was not enough.

However, the most important thing now is to apologize to General Manager Yang. As for Tang Xiue, I will settle accounts with her later.

By the time I arrived at the hospital, Yang Qianmu's wound had already been stitched up.

He sat in the emergency room corridor while the employee who brought him there went to pay the bill.

"Mr. Yang, I'm so sorry that my personal matters have implicated you and caused you such serious injuries." I sincerely apologized, feeling extremely guilty.

Yang Qianmu's forehead was wrapped in medical gauze, covering his left eyebrow. He could only turn his head to look at me with his right eye when he spoke: "President Jiang, this was an accident, please don't blame yourself. Has the matter been handled?"

“It’s all settled, but… I didn’t call the police. I’ll have my stepmother apologize to you in person afterward, and I’ll cover all medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for emotional distress. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

I thought to myself, all this money should be attributed to Tang Xiue, we can't let her get away with it!

Yang Qianmu pondered for two seconds and asked, "You don't have a good relationship with your stepmother?"

My smile was awkward. "These two words are not enough to describe the complicated situation of our family. In short, we are family, but worse than enemies."

"Okay, I understand." He nodded, and then comforted me, "In that case, this has nothing to do with you. Whoever makes the mistake should take responsibility."

I looked at him, my expression somewhat surprised.

"You mean you're going to seek compensation from that woman?"

He frowned deeply, probably still in pain from his wound, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I've already been lenient by not calling the police, so it's only right that I seek compensation, isn't it?"

"Yes, I support you! But I have an idea..."

On my way here, I was thinking about how to make Tang Xiue pay the price, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come to me so soon.

With Yang Qianmu cooperating with me, this time I'm determined to make Tang Xiue kneel down and beg for mercy, so she'll learn a good lesson.

After the employee paid the fees and returned, we left the hospital together.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance as soon as I got to the parking lot.
