Quarrels are uncontrollable. Once emotions flare up, even married couples, relatives and parents can say all kinds of nasty things. It is even more impossible for friends, brothers, business partners and the like to be immune.
However, after Kong Zhenghui finished shouting at Su Tianyu, he probably realized that he had said too much, so after a long silence, he said in a slightly calmer tone: "The current funds of the union are all dependent on the several injections from Tonghui from home, as well as the money that Dabai and I brought from home! If we continue like this, we will not have sufficient funds to cope with the development of the arms business! I am not targeting anyone with these words today, I just don't agree to continue to work on this human trafficker case. It is of no benefit to us at all, and it is easy to cause trouble."
“Zhenghui, you...!” Zhou Tonghui stood up and tried to persuade him.
"Isn't this group of human traffickers related to the Baolong Group? As for Zhang Hao's problem, we can resolve it through negotiation. I'm done, you guys can chat." Kong Zhenghui threw down a sentence, turned around and left the barracks.
The four people in the room looked at each other, all in a bad mood.
After a while, Yu Mingyuan said in a soothing voice: "I'll go talk to Zhenghui. Don't take what he said just now to heart. During this period of time, we were busy in the front, and Zhenghui did a lot of cleaning up the mess behind us."
"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded.
After saying that, Yu Mingyuan stood up and left, while Dabai comforted Su Tianyu. As for Zhou Tonghui, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, nor did he express any opinions.
…
In the car outside the barracks, Kong Zhenghui was sitting in the passenger seat smoking a cigarette.
Yu Mingyuan opened the door and sat up, chuckling and saying, "You seem a little excited today, which is different from usual."
"No, I've wanted to say these words for a long time." Kong Zhenghui lowered his head and replied, "If not today, then someday in the future."
"Is the finishing work a bit difficult?" Yu Mingyuan asked tentatively.
Kong Zhenghui sighed, "Yesterday I discussed the compensation issue with Uncle You's son at home, but he refused to accept it and wanted to sue us, saying that the old man was killed while on duty and that our union was largely responsible. I tried to persuade him a few times... He got emotional and slapped me twice... He called us troublemakers and accomplices."
When Yu Mingyuan heard this, he also sighed.
"What can I do?" Kong Zhenghui frowned and said, "We used to get along well, but now his father is gone! The relationship is immediately different. If we talk about feelings, he won't accept it. If we talk about interests, we have to be careful that he will sue us to avoid bringing negative impact to the association! Damn it, apart from these bad things, now whenever someone calls me, it's for no other reason, they must want money."
After that, both of them fell silent.
Yu Mingyuan sat in the back seat, looking at the expression on Kong Zhenghui's face, and in his mind he had already thought of many potential reasons for his anger.
…
That evening.
Because Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui had a quarrel, everyone was in a bad mood and went back to rest early.
The next day, around eight in the morning.
After Su Tianyu interrogated Xiao Kai for the second time, he immediately found Yu Mingyuan, and the two started chatting outside the barracks.
"That's right. Zhenghui is right. This union does not belong to one person. We should respect the right of each shareholder to speak and listen to everyone's opinions." Su Tianyu said concisely, "But I insist that this matter must be investigated, because it is a bit unrealistic to want to get Zhang Hao back through negotiations. In the matter of Ailan Town, Wang Zhen's energy was fully demonstrated. He is obviously a local lord, not a lackey. Xiaokai himself said that he has a cooperative relationship with Baolong Group and Huihong Pharmaceutical, so he may not listen to the opinions of the upper level. If this is the case, he will definitely protect his brother, so the only possibility for negotiation is that we want to release Wang Xiong, and this is something that Lao Li will never agree to."
Yu Mingyuan nodded slowly.
"So, if we want to save Zhang Hao, it's impossible to solve it through negotiation." Su Tianyu continued, "Fei Pingsheng is also missing. The only thing we can do is to continue investigating. I will return to Longcheng immediately to meet with Lao Li to explain the situation, and you will hold a meeting and vote to resolve the differences. If half of the votes are in favor of the union withdrawing, then I will do this alone, and will never use the union's power and connections for subsequent events."
"Isn't this necessary?" Yu Mingyuan felt that Su Tianyu was upset, so he immediately comforted him: "Zhenghui also wants to decentralize power...!"
"No, actually I agree with some of what he said." Su Tianyu waved his hand: "The union wants to develop, and it's a good thing to have different voices. If everyone thinks I'm going in the wrong direction, then I admit it! I can't always lead the pace, otherwise I will become the target of public criticism, right?"
Yu Mingyuan nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll go to the meeting for them."
"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded: "Then I'll go first?"
"Where's Xiaokai?"
"Take one back with you."
"All right!"
After the two finished communicating, Su Tianyu called Lao Hei, Hou Guoyu, Fang Zheng and others, and prepared to take Xiao Kai back to Longcheng together.
Just as everyone was about to get on the bike, Su Tiannan ran back, opened the door and sat on the back seat: "Let's go, I'll go back with you."
Su Tianyu didn't think much about it and immediately said to the brother who was driving: "Okay, let's go!"
…
That night, everyone returned to Longcheng. Su Tianyu first sent Xiaokai back to the Marine Police Station for detention, and then asked a doctor from the Police Department Hospital to come and treat his injuries.
After everything was arranged, Su Tianyu rushed to Li Mingsheng.
On the other hand, after Su Tiannan returned to Longcheng, he did not join the others in their work, but went to the bank first and withdrew 60,000 yuan in cash.
Su Tiannan doesn't have any special hobbies and doesn't spend much money. In addition, his salary has been good since he joined the association, so his piggy bank is more abundant than Tianyu and Tianbei's.
But even so, the 60,000 yuan basically emptied Su Tiannan's family assets. After withdrawing the money, he took a taxi back home and found his sister Su Miaomiao.
"I've taken out some money. When you're free, give it to Uncle You's son." Su Tiannan paused and said, "Just say... this is my personal compensation to him."
Su Miaomiao was a little surprised: "Isn't our union talking to him?"
"The union belongs to the union, and mine belongs to me." Su Tiannan was silent for a while: "... This is my fault."
Su Miaomiao took the money and said nothing more.
Su Tiannan lit a cigarette and suddenly asked, "Where's Dad?"
"Hey, I'm trying to persuade my aunt. When something happened to Haozi, my aunt almost cried her eyes out." Su Miaomiao sighed.
"Okay, I'll go take a look!" Su Tiannan said, turned around and was about to leave.
Su Miaomiao put the money away and prepared to go out.
In front, Su Tiannan walked to the door of the main room of the house and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Little sister!"
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"... I may have to go out for a few days. During this time, please take good care of the family!" Su Tiannan said, smoking a cigarette.
