Chapter 27 Zhou Jin is young, but lacks manners.
Zhou Hengzhi only learned that Zhou Jin had committed a crime after receiving a phone call.
The driver was driving, Ah Huan was sitting in the passenger seat, and Zhou Hengzhi was resting with his eyes closed, his forehead throbbing with anger.
"Is the person injured?"
"No, she's a nice person, just the old lady she pushed down..."
Grandma Zhang already had a heart condition, and the doctor recommended coronary artery bypass surgery, which would cost nearly 100,000 yuan. Grandma Zhang didn't want to trouble her son.
My son just bought a house in the city, and he's under a lot of pressure to repay the loan.
Grandma Zhang held back, wanting to take some medicine, hoping that if she kept putting it off, a miracle might happen.
This was all it took to clear things up; the money for the heart bypass surgery was covered, and everything else fell into place...
Zhou Hengzhi frowned. "Spending a little more money is fine. Just get her to sign the mediation agreement."
"The old lady disagreed with mediation and demanded her detention."
"I'll go take a look myself later."
After saying that, he asked Ah Huan, "Are you sure Zhou Jin is alright?"
"Miss is fine, she's just making a huge fuss!"
This was the first time in my life I'd been to the police station for something like this. It was humiliating and embarrassing; I'd tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.
Zhou Jin burst into tears at the police station, crying, "Brother, when are you coming?"
"Brother, why aren't you here yet?"
Zhou Hengzhi didn't want to answer the phone at all. If it weren't for her sister, he would have kicked her as far away as possible.
"Miss, please calm down."
"I want to go home! I want to go home! I didn't mean to, that old lady pulled my hair, really!"
Zhou Jin also told the police, "She pulled my hair first!"
Su Jianguo, who came to testify, said, "She was the one who tried to hurt my daughter-in-law. I don't know where she came from. She drove up in a car and started cursing at my daughter-in-law. She tried to hit her as soon as she saw her."
“My daughter-in-law said a few words, but didn’t hit or scold her. She immediately attacked her. Aunt Zhang was trying to protect the pregnant woman because she was nearby!”
Zhou Jin was speechless. "Don't listen to his side of the story! Check the surveillance footage!"
"Where would there be surveillance cameras in the countryside? The eyes of the people are sharp!"
Su Jianguo had always doted on Xia Yutong since she was a child, and he even scolded Zhou Jin with great enthusiasm, "Officers, you are righteous! You called the villagers to ask around, and we people from Nanbian Town don't lie. She came here and started bullying people and cursing them."
"Young people should have some manners, right? She swore so rudely, even I, an old man, found it offensive..." Su Jianguo slapped his own face, "Sigh..."
Zhou Jin pouted, completely losing her composure. Su Jianguo pulled the policeman aside, "Officer, she said she's from the city, some Zhou Group. Expose them! I heard from the villagers that her family's Zhou Group has built several unfinished buildings."
With the real estate market in a slump, Zhou's several unfinished buildings have indeed caused a lot of trouble, with frequent disturbances and the city's police often having to be dispatched...
Everyone was complaining.
"They said they only repaired one gate to the community and then stopped. The homebuyers have already invested their money, but they can't get the houses and still have to continue paying off their loans. How vicious! You people are really vicious."
Su Jianguo became more and more energetic as he spoke, and the policeman felt the pressure. "Uncle, have a sip of tea and relax..."
"My drinking tea is a small matter, but you police officers must take care of it! It's the hard-earned money of countless ordinary people!"
"Okay, we'll definitely take care of it, absolutely..."
"Then go and arrest her whole family and make them return the money the people used to buy houses!"
Zhou Jin burst into tears, and not a single policeman came to comfort her; instead, it was Su Jianguo.
The old man was filled with righteous indignation. The two policemen helped him sit down. "Don't worry, uncle, don't worry... calm down!"
“You police officers are human too. You know how difficult it is to buy a house. Aunt Zhang’s son was in an ambulance. He was afraid of buying an unfinished building, so he preferred to buy a second-hand one… He emptied his savings, you know that?”
Su Jianguo's phone rang. He picked it up and answered, "Hello, is that Yuanzheng?"
"Aunt Zhang! It's Aunt Zhang!"
"Okay, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Jianguo snorted coldly and pointed at Zhou Jin, whose eyes were swollen from crying, "Little girl, crying won't help. Weren't you so arrogant just now?"
Zhou Jin cried even harder, and Su Jianguo said again, "No reconciliation, detention!"
"etc!"
Just then, Zhou Hengzhi arrived.
The heir to the Zhou Group has an extraordinary aura; the police have only ever seen him on television.
Zhou Jin burst into tears, "Brother, you've finally come! They bullied me!"
"Nonsense!"
Fortunately, Zhou's public relations team acted quickly and blocked the news in advance. Otherwise, her outburst would have made things even worse for the already struggling group, causing the stock price to plummet and resulting in heavy losses.
Zhou Hengzhi said coldly, "Apologize to your uncle!"
Su Jianguo, Su Yuanzheng's father, was so angry that it felt like there were iron chains twisting inside him, but he had to prioritize the overall situation.
If things aren't handled well, not only will Zhou Jin struggle to gain respect, but he himself will also find it difficult to command respect within the company.
Zhou Jin was dumbfounded, "Brother?"
"Apologize now?"
"I'm not apologizing!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Ah Huan said, "Miss, if word gets out that you came to the countryside to bully people, have you thought about the consequences for our company...?"
Zhou Jin's eyes widened as she said to Su Jianguo, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I'm sorry."
Zhou Hengzhi also said, "We will do our best to meet any requests you may have."
"She insulted my daughter-in-law, called us country folk lowly, and insulted the whole village!"
Zhou Hengzhi looked at Zhou Jin. Had she gone mad? Even if she had a problem with Xia Yutong, it didn't warrant the whole village cursing her.
"She injured an old lady in our village, and she's still in the hospital. It's outrageous! She even slandered my daughter-in-law... It's really... I think she should be detained... Sigh... So young, yet so wicked!"
Zhou Hengzhi gritted his teeth, a very faint smile on his face, "We will definitely take full responsibility for the old lady's situation."
"She wants to personally apologize to my daughter-in-law, and also to the elderly people in the village who were also insulted by her..."
Zhou Jin shook her head, "No!"
She'd rather apologize to anyone than bow down to Xia Yutong.
"Then I'll have to hire a lawyer for this, hmph..."
Although the Su family didn't have a lot of money, they could still afford to hire a lawyer.
"I don't believe you can outperform the Zhou family's legal team..."
"Shut up!" Zhou Hengzhi glared at him fiercely. "Old Su, I will definitely bring my sister to apologize in person. As for the villagers, I am willing to do my part..."
"What meager contribution? What credibility do you companies that build unfinished buildings have? Who can trust your character?"
Zhou Hengzhi glanced at Zhou Jin again, and Zhou Jin couldn't even lift his head.
Su Jianguo didn't want to waste words with him. "I can forgive you, as long as she apologizes to my daughter-in-law and doesn't let her suffer any injustice. I'll pretend nothing happened. But I need to call and ask the villagers how they're going to resolve this..."
