Chapter 674 Agreement Invalid
Is the agreement invalid?
Upon hearing this, not only Sang Ruo, but even President Zeng, who had been standing aside watching from the sidelines, became anxious: "President Bo, you can't do this! We agreed on five million to resolve this unexpected incident. You can't go back on your word!"
"Besides, we've already spent that five million in our finances. What you're doing is no different from kicking someone after they've served their purpose."
Isn't this just playing with them?
At first, they said 500,000 wasn't enough and they needed to increase the amount. Okay, he went back to the company and had a board meeting with the chairman. The board finally passed the agreement unanimously, but now they're saying the agreement is invalid?
Are you kidding me?!
Compared to his impatience, Bo Jinyan appeared calm and composed: "I wasn't involved in this agreement. It was you and Sang Ruo who were involved throughout the whole process. How am I going back on my word? How am I abandoning you after using you?"
"If you really care so much, why didn't you consult me, the person directly involved, when you were discussing this matter? Why did you involve my wife, Sang Ruo?"
"You're trying to buy it out for five million without even informing me? You're the ones who really don't respect people."
They were involved throughout the entire process, ignoring his opinion as the party involved, so what's wrong with him saying the agreement is invalid?
Mr. Zeng did not expect him to have such an attitude: "That's because I thought the two of you had reached an internal agreement, and it was inconvenient for you to meet people at that time. We had the will, but not the ability!"
He had never seen a man as fickle as him.
They clearly agreed on five million, but then he says the agreement is invalid and it's invalid? What about all the time and effort they spent on this these past two days?
Who should they seek compensation from?
"What does this have to do with me?" Bo Jinyan ignored his anger and asked indifferently, "This is something you should have communicated yourselves. It was your communication that went wrong. Why are you blaming me, the person involved, for all the mistakes?"
ridiculous.
They didn't take the initiative to talk to him, the party involved, about compensation, but instead went to talk to Sang Ruo. Is it reasonable for them to deliberately hide it from him?
Mr. Zeng turned his pleading gaze to Sang Ruo: "Ms. Sang, please say something! We've always been doing things according to your instructions, so what's going on?"
"Why did President Bo react this way? Did you really not consult him at all?"
If Sang Ruo really didn't discuss it with Bo Jinyan, then what was the point of his hard work these past two days?
Are you sure this isn't just a deliberate prank on them?
Sang Ruo was somewhat taken aback by his question: "President Zeng, I haven't had a chance to tell Ayan about this yet, but Ayan's lost wages are indeed around this amount..."
"Alright! Sang Ruo, you don't need to explain to them anymore." Bo Jinyan interrupted her without thinking: "This matter is not negotiable. Five million to settle it all at once is too cheap for you."
Throughout the whole affair, what he valued most was not the five million, but the fate of the man who hit him on the head with a steel plate, Kuwahara.
This is the most fundamental problem.
If Kuwabara isn't dealt with, what if he uses the same methods against him again? This time he only lost his sight, but what about next time? How many lives will he have left to fight him next time?
Therefore, the root of this problem is not money, but people.
If Xiao Ruo thinks she can solve the problem with a mere five million, it will only be a temporary solution. There's no guarantee that the same thing won't happen to them again.
Mr. Zeng was furious at being tricked by the two of them: "What do you mean it's too cheap for us? Do you think five million in compensation is too little? Mr. Bo, why don't you go to the court and ask what the average compensation for this kind of engineering accident is!"
"Don't talk like five million is a small amount!"
Generally, 500,000 would be enough to settle the matter. If the person who was hit hadn't been Bo Jinyan, do you think they would offer such a high amount in compensation? Do they really think they, the contractors, are easy targets? To be ripped off as much as they want?
“I didn’t say five million was a small amount. I just thought we could try a different form of compensation.” Bo Jinyan then revealed his true purpose: “For example, why don’t you hand over Sang Yuan? Let me handle him, how about that?”
Just like solving the clinic bombing incident, if we don't find out Chen Fangyue, the real culprit behind it all, there will only be more of these kinds of incidents in the future, and it will never end here.
Upon hearing this, President Zeng was stunned for a moment: "You don't want the five million? You just want Sang Yuan? Why?"
Why give up five million when you have it all? It's worth far more than that gambling addict, Kuwabara.
What exactly is Bo Jinyan thinking?
He even does deals that lose money?
"You don't need to worry about that. I don't need the five million anyway." Bo Jinyan stated his needs directly: "I just need you to hand over Sang Yuan. President Zeng, can you do that?"
"If you can do that, then we'll settle this here. If you can't, then you can expect to receive a court summons."
No matter what you do, there will never be a third outcome with him.
After a moment's hesitation, President Zeng immediately agreed. His previous anger vanished, replaced by a beaming smile: "Alright, I'll go back and tell our chairman right away. President Bo, please wait for our news."
After saying that, Mr. Zeng turned and left.
Before leaving, he made sure to take back the five million check he had just handed over.
Seeing this, Sang Ruo felt only regret. After President Zeng left, she asked directly, "Ayan, why didn't you want that five million? Do you know how long it took me to convince them to accept that five million?"
He said he didn't want it, and that was that.
Did he even consider her feelings? When he said those words, did he think about her feelings at all?
His casual remark rendered all her efforts futile.
She's feeling really bad too.
"Five million? How dare you even mention that?" Bo Jinyan became angry at the mention of this. "Why didn't you discuss it with me before making a private agreement with them? Or do you think I'm short of five million?"
Didn't she ever consider that her uncle was behind this?
How can this matter be resolved without finding her uncle?
Sang Ruo frowned and kept explaining, "I didn't mean that. I know you don't need the five million, but this was an accident during the project. Shouldn't we ask them for compensation?"
"Such a serious incident has happened, you've even gone blind, and you still won't let them compensate you? Don't you value your health at all? What are you thinking?"
