Xu Qingqing took the jadeite, glanced at its quality, and found it to be very good, indeed worth the price. Satisfied, she put it into her pocket and then into her spatial storage.
He picked up the 800 yuan on the table and waved it in front of Shen Man: "Alright, the matter is resolved, you can leave now."
"No, we can't leave! We're not satisfied with this compensation. Why should your compensation be more than ours?"
The first person to express his dissatisfaction spoke up, his eyes fixed on the item in Xu Qingqing's pocket with obvious envy. He knew it was a valuable item, worth far more than 8,000. Thinking of this, he became even more jealous of Xu Qingqing.
The group, incited by him, stood up and spoke up for themselves: "Yes, we're all the same. Why do you get 8,000 while we only get 120? If you don't give each of us 8,000, you're not leaving this room."
The remaining people hesitated, wondering whether they should stand up and ask for 8,000 like the others. That was 8,000, not 800; how could that not tempt them?
Only a few people were satisfied. For them, 120 yuan was enough. After all, they had earned it through others, so what right did they have to ask for more? That would be too shameless.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Shen Man clenched her fingers, her eyes instantly reddening. If it weren't for the trouble at home, she wouldn't be in this state now.
Seeing that things were not going well, Director Li quickly got up from the ground and whispered to Xu Qingqing, "What should we do? It seems that those people are jealous."
Xu Qingqing coldly looked at the group of people, picked up the wad of money, patted it in her palm, and said coldly, "Nothing can be done. Since they're envious, I'll let them be envious to the end."
After saying that, he took a step and walked towards the group of people.
"Hey—Little, ptooey, Comrade Xu."
Factory Director Li didn't stop Xu Qingqing. He quickly followed her. His head was already throbbing. He was worried that he might make a move. What if he lost control and crippled her?
He took a step, stepped over the person lying on the ground, and followed behind Xu Qingqing. He was thinking about something and didn't notice where he was stepping.
He didn't notice and stepped on someone's thigh. The 200-pound man screamed in pain and kicked Director Li's buttocks with his other foot.
Factory Director Li was kicked so hard that he lurched forward and couldn't stop himself.
"Aaaaah—, get out of the way—"
Xu Qingqing had instinctively dodged to the side after hearing that scream. Sure enough, the next second, Director Li's body brushed past her arm and rushed forward, his target being the people outside the door.
When the group saw the fleshy-looking Factory Director Li charging towards them, they were so frightened that they turned to run away, but unfortunately, Factory Director Li was one step ahead.
Xu Qingqing spread her fingers to cover her eyes. She couldn't see with one eye, but with the other, she could see clearly through her fingernails that the people had been knocked away by Director Li and were lying face down on the ground.
Factory Director Li knocked several people away, but his body was still uncontrollably lurching forward. He closed his eyes and was tripped by one of the people. His 200-pound frame crushed the man, knocking him unconscious.
At this moment, whether it was people inside or passersby outside, everyone was dizzy from this sudden event.
Except for the heartless Xu Qingqing.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Man immediately came out. After exiting, she ran all the way to the black sedan parked by the roadside, urging, "Hurry up, hurry up—"
After urging her, she looked out the window and saw that the person inside had not come out, which made her feel a little relieved.
The driver started the car, and it slowly drove forward before disappearing from Xu Qingqing's sight.
Xu Qingqing withdrew her gaze, grabbed Director Li by the shoulder and collar, and lifted him up. She then checked the condition of the others. Apart from the unlucky one who was crushed, the rest only had scratches and were not seriously injured.
As for the unlucky guy who was crushed, he was the first to start trouble. Xu Qingqing checked his external injuries, which were similar to those of the others, but it was still unclear whether there was anything wrong with his internal injuries.
"How is he? I didn't crush him, did I?" Factory Director Li couldn't squat down any longer, so he stood next to Xu Qingqing, becoming anxious. "Quickly, check his nose for me. Is he still breathing?"
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes: "Didn't you see that his body was still fluctuating? Don't worry, he's still breathing."
Factory Director Li breathed a sigh of relief. His heart had been pounding in his throat, fearing he might hear that someone had died. He patted his chest, relieved that the person hadn't died.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's get this person to the hospital quickly."
Hearing her say that, Director Li bent down to lift the person into the car, and when he saw that Xu Qingqing was not moving, he urged her: "Don't stand there, hurry up and lift your car up."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqing's face darkened: "What did you say?!"
This guy actually wants to put people like this in his car.
Her sharp gaze transformed into invisible knives, aimed at him. Xu Qingqing's face was cold as she opened her hand and slowly tightened it.
Factory Director Li's expression changed. Sensing the pressure emanating from her, he immediately put down the foot he was holding, pretended to be stupid, and whistled towards the sky. Out of the corner of his eye, he would occasionally glance at Xu Qingqing.
"snort--"
Xu Qingqing walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, distributed the money in her hand to those people, and finally held the remaining money in her hand, coldly looking at the troublemakers in front of her.
"Take this money and take this person to the hospital. Don't try anything funny with me."
The group was terrified by Xu Qingqing's gaze and dared not play any tricks. They found a wooden cart, took the unconscious person, and headed to the hospital.
Along the way.
Xu Qingqing drove alongside them the whole time, just in case they dared to have any other ideas.
hehe--
After watching them enter the hospital, Xu Qingqing waited a while longer to make sure they were alright before returning to pick up Director Li.
**
Shen Man returned to the Situ family home, got out of the car, tidied herself up, and put on a polite smile before going inside.
At this moment, the Situ family rarely sat in the living room.
Madam Situ, with her hair styled in a low bun, wearing a light ink-colored cheongsam embroidered with peonies, was making tea. Every movement she made exuded elegance and nobility.
After brewing the tea, he placed it on the small table next to the group before sitting down next to his eldest son, Situ Kong.
She picked up a cup of tea and handed it to him, asking, "Kongkong, when are you free? Please invite Comrade Xu over. He has saved you several times, and we should thank him. Otherwise, it would be too impolite."
Situ Kong said helplessly, "Mom, I've already asked about it before and told you about it."
Speaking of this, Madam Situ felt a little melancholy and sighed softly.
Situ Xing pouted: "Mom, don't ask my brother anymore. If he doesn't want to come, he doesn't have to. Even if we want to invite him, we should wait until he's done with his work."
His mother was really anxious.
