Zhao Tiezhu cursed Xu Chenglong a few times, but seeing that Xu Chenglong lowered his head and didn't say anything, he lost the will to continue cursing.
He picked up the thousand yuan in cash, took out five hundred yuan and put it on the table, saying, "Five hundred yuan is enough for my hospital expenses. You can take the rest."
Xu Chenglong finally reacted, raising his head to look at Zhao Tiezhu with an expression of disbelief.
He never expected that the other party would only ask for five hundred yuan.
"Dad, this won't do. He gave us this money willingly." Zhao Chan said anxiously, trying to persuade him.
"Forget it, I don't want to take advantage of him." Zhao Tiezhu waved his hand and stopped looking at Xu Chenglong.
Wang Peng said with a smile, "Old Zhao, you can't say that. Your expenses include not only medical treatment and lost wages, but also compensation for emotional distress."
He picked up the five hundred yuan and placed it in Zhao Tiezhu's hand.
"Uncle Zhao, please take it. This is a responsibility I should bear," Xu Chenglong said sincerely.
After hearing what Wang Peng and Xu Chenglong said, Zhao Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately accepted the money.
Thus, the dispute between the two was resolved without any further police intervention.
Wang Peng chatted with him for a few more minutes, then took Xu Chenglong away from the hospital and to Brother No. 1 Store.
"Brother Peng, has the matter been resolved?" Du Lei glanced at Xu Chenglong, a hint of disdain hidden in his eyes.
"It's resolved." Wang Peng glanced at Xu Chenglong, then turned to Du Lei. "Brother Lei, what are your plans for him?"
Hearing this, Du Lei was a little unhappy. He thought Wang Peng would fire this rich second-generation who was not only uncooperative but also always caused trouble.
He stared at Xu Chenglong with disdain, making no attempt to hide the disgust on his face.
Xu Chenglong was very annoyed by Du Lei's gaze and wanted to argue with him, but after a moment, he held back his temper.
Du Lei said, "Brother Peng, I'm thinking of letting him continue working as a cleaner and continue cleaning the men's restroom. What do you think?"
"You can arrange it as you see fit. From now on, follow the company's rules and regulations to require him to comply." Wang Peng patted Xu Chenglong on the shoulder and turned to leave the company.
He planned to work on Xu Chenglong's character and hoped that he would eventually give up and resign.
Sitting in the car, Wang Peng felt a bit bored, so he drove to the second store to check it out. The store was doing very well.
He then drove to store number three, which was the original flagship store of Huihuang Supermarket, where business was also doing well.
"Brother Peng?" Hu Mingyue walked quickly to Wang Peng and said with a smile, "It really is you. I thought I had misjudged you."
Wang Peng, hands in his pockets, looked at Hu Mingyue, who was dressed in a suit, and asked, "Weren't you Du Lei's secretary? What are you doing at Store No. 3?"
"Please, pay attention to your company instead." Hu Mingyue rolled her eyes and smiled as she hugged his arm.
The two strolled around the store, weaving through the crowd and chatting as they walked.
“Du Lei wouldn’t let me be his secretary, so he transferred me here as the vice president,” Hu Mingyue said. “I got a promotion.”
From secretary to deputy general manager, it was indeed a promotion. The two went to the food court on the seventh floor, and Hu Mingyue ordered two bowls of spicy hot pot.
She laughed and said, "Brother, such a big personnel change, and you didn't know about it?"
Wang Peng shook his head. "Major personnel changes are handled by your sister-in-law; I can't be bothered with them."
"Hehe, you really want to be a hands-off boss, huh?" Hu Mingyue said with a smile. "But that makes sense, there's absolute trust between you and your sister-in-law."
Wang Peng waved his hand, "Alright, let's not talk about me. How are things going between you and Du Lei?"
Speaking of this, Wang Peng thought of Dong Shishi and then said with a smile, "Du Lei and Dong Shishi have completely broken up, and he is single now."
“Brother,” Hu Mingyue couldn’t help but blush as she looked down at the colorful menu.
Seeing her shyness, Wang Peng knew something was up. "Mingyue, tell me the truth, have you seriously considered your relationship with Du Lei?"
Hu Mingyue didn't speak, her cheeks flushed with anger.
“Mingyue, Du Lei and I have been best friends since the first year of high school. I know him well; he is a sentimental and responsible person.”
“If you two can get together, he will never have affairs outside the marriage; he will be responsible for relationships and marriage.”
"From my perspective, of course I hope you can succeed."
After finishing his speech in one breath, Wang Peng looked at his half-sister with a smile.
Hu Mingyue remained silent, her face growing increasingly red, as if she were becoming even more shy.
A few minutes later, Wang Peng changed the subject, "How are Dad and Mom?"
"They're doing great," Hu Mingyue said softly. "They're very happy, always together, and they never bicker or argue."
Wang Peng finally felt relieved. His father had worked hard for half his life and had been confused for half his life. Finally, he could enjoy his old age in peace.
"Brother, actually Lei is a great guy. Apart from you, I think he's the most ideal marriage partner."
Hu Mingyue raised her head and fanned her face with her hand, "But... I'm a little scared, I'm scared..."
Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Wang Peng chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? Tell me."
“He’s a good person, but I have a bad temper, and I’m afraid I’ll hurt him in the future.” Hu Mingyue said with a bitter face, looking somewhat dejected.
Having said that, Wang Peng stopped trying to persuade her. "Fine, you're an adult, so I won't be your strategist anymore."
Just then, his phone rang, and he answered it, holding it to his ear.
"Xiao Peng, this is Xu Mengxing, haha." Xu Mengxing laughed on the phone, "I heard that Jackie Chan has already apologized to Zhao Tiezhu."
"Yes, the matter has been resolved," Wang Peng said. "Jackie Chan apologized and gave Lao Zhao a thousand yuan in compensation, and Lao Zhao forgave him."
"Great!" Xu Mengxing laughed again. "Xiao Peng, it has to be you. Jackie Chan is actually willing to listen to you."
Wang Peng was a little confused. It felt like a naughty child had met his nemesis.
"Xiao Peng, let's go out for drinks tonight. I want to thank you properly," Xu Mengxing sincerely invited.
Wang Peng thought about it carefully and shook his head to decline, "Mingzhu's cousin is getting engaged, and my mother-in-law is not in the provincial capital. I have to stay at home to take care of my wife and children."
Xu Mengxing hurriedly asked, "How about three days later? Do you have time?"
Wang Peng smiled wryly; it seemed he had no choice but to drink this meal.
“Uncle Xu, Jackie Chan is my employee. I don’t mind helping him, so please don’t mind too much.”
Xu Mengxing laughed and said, "It's settled then. I'll call you again in three days, and we'll have a good drink together."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Xu Mengxing hung up the phone.
Wang Peng put his phone in his pocket, and then he heard Hu Mingyue say, "Brother, do you want me to marry Du Lei?"
"Huh?" Wang Peng was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, "I didn't mean that. It's your decision about your marriage."
"Hmph!" Hu Mingyue smiled playfully. "Alright, alright, I'll give your suggestion full consideration."
At this moment, the waiter brought over two bowls of spicy hot pot.
"Brother, eat up." Hu Mingyue handed him a pair of chopsticks. "The spicy hot pot here is delicious."
