A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Everyone was taken aback and looked around in surprise.

Because no one noticed how I made my move, or even knew why Boss Yu was jumping around like that!

The proprietress was also taken aback. She then picked up the lighter from the ground, looked at it from left to right, and was at a loss.

I pointed at Boss Yu and sneered, "Boss Yu, I wouldn't dare bite your bird, but I can cripple it. Be careful next time, and keep your bird safe!"

The proprietress then realized what was happening and swung a lighter at me, yelling, "You little brat, you dare hit someone! Don't you dare leave, I'm calling the police, I'll get Director Hong from the Public Security Bureau to come and arrest you!"

The lighter flew over the iron gate and rushed towards me.

I reached out and actually caught the lighter!

Gao Jianfeng and the old squad leader shouted together, "Brother Zu, great skill!"

I smiled smugly and tried to start it again. Hehe, it was perfectly fine. The quality is top-notch!

I put away my lighter and looked at the landlady: "Landlady, call Director Hong right now. Is there no justice in not paying compensation for a work injury?"

"You just wait, you just wait!"

The proprietress actually took out her phone and started making calls.

He Tiantian tugged at my arm and whispered, "The local public security bureau probably isn't any good either. What do we do now?"

Are you scared now?

"No, I'm just... afraid you'll get taken advantage of," He Tiantian stubbornly insisted.

"I'm just a worthless person, suffering is a blessing."

I looked at He Tiantian and smiled, "But if I really help Xue Meiying get the compensation, how will you thank me?"

He Tiantian was wary and didn't fall for it: "You're not asking me for money..."

"Don't deny it. You stood up for the Xue sisters, so I helped you. Therefore, it's only natural that the Xue sisters thank you, and you thank me." I smiled sinisterly.

"Once I get the compensation from the Xue sisters, you... will repay them with your body."

He Tiantian looked around and said in a low voice, "Fine, we'll agree then, but first you need to get the compensation. By the way, you're Dao Zixiong's man, you shouldn't be afraid of the local public security bureau, right?"

After half a day, this girl finally remembered my relationship with Daozaixiong.

Inside the iron gate, Boss Yu sat on the ground, furious, pointing at me and yelling, "You brat, who do you think you are? Why are you standing up for Xue Meiying? The Public Security Bureau is on their way, don't even think about running away!"

I snorted: "The people from the Comprehensive Management Office are taking too long. I'll call you and urge them on."

After saying that, I took out my phone, dialed Director Hong's number, and put it on speakerphone.

"Brother Wang, what a pleasant surprise!" As soon as the call connected, Director Hong immediately began to exchange pleasantries:

"Hey bro, what's up with the call? Want to grab some dinner? We can chat..."

"Brother Hong, I'm at Wanjia Mold Factory on Niujiaoxiang Road in your development zone."

I spoke slowly and deliberately, trying to be clear: "My cousin was working here when three of her fingers were cut off, but the boss here, Mr. Yu, is refusing to acknowledge the loss, refusing to pay for her treatment, and even calling your local public security bureau to beat me up."

The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Yu, were dumbfounded.

Director Hong paused on the phone: "What? Wanjia Mold Factory? That bastard just called me, saying someone's causing trouble and he wants me to send people to arrest them..."

"The person he wants to arrest is me."

I glanced at Boss Yu and chuckled, "Brother Hong, I'm right outside the Wan Family Mold Factory. Have your men arrived yet? You're not really going to hit me, are you?"

"Brother, how could I dare hit you? Don't worry, I'm coming right away!"

Director Hong hung up the phone.

I waved my phone at Boss Yu: "Director Hong will be here soon. Open the door, let's go inside your factory to talk."

Boss Yu stood up, spread his legs, and walked over step by step, asking in a low voice, "Boss, who is Director Hong... to you?"

"brother."

"Oh, I understand."

Boss Yu obediently opened the door, bent over and raised his hand: "Boss, please come to my office to talk. We can talk this out."

I winked and raised an eyebrow at He Tiantian, then led the group into the factory area.

Motorcycle taxi drivers Fugui Mao and others were waiting outside.

Boss Yu is much more obedient now; he invited us to his office.

I sat down and pulled He Tiantian to sit next to me.

He Tiantian then asked the Xue sisters to sit down.

Gao Jianfeng and the old squad leader stood behind me, each with their arms crossed, like two powerful generals.

The proprietress quickly poured tea and repeatedly apologized, "Young man, we didn't know you were Director Hong's brother, we're so sorry. Don't worry, Xue Meiying's compensation is easy to arrange..."

Hope ignited in the eyes of the Xue sisters.

"Sure, let's talk about it then." I slammed my hand on the table.

"My cousin's finger couldn't be reattached, and now she needs a second amputation, leaving her with a lifelong disability. This is all your fault! If you had provided proper treatment, would this have happened? Do you bosses even treat your female employees like human beings?"

Anyway, with Director Hong backing me up, I'm not afraid of this Boss Yu.

Such small factory owners are no match for anyone in Sanlichuan; Director Hong alone can easily control them.

Seeing this, He Tiantian knew we were emboldened, so she became assertive, pointing her finger at Boss Yu's nose:

"This is a crime! Your production safety measures are inadequate, and you have disregarded the lives of your workers. After the accident, you turned a blind eye and left the workers to fend for themselves. Today, we must seek justice for Xue Meiying!"

Xue Meiying didn't speak, she just cried.

Mr. Yu clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute, saying, "Don't worry, we'll arrange for Xue Meiying to go to the hospital right away."

The landlady was quick-witted; she had already brought out ten thousand yuan in cash and pushed it in front of me: "This money is for Xue Meiying to go to the hospital first. The rest of the medical expenses will be ours."

"Ten thousand yuan, are you trying to appease a child?"

Without hesitation, I threw the wad of cash back at her: "My cousin's hand needs to be amputated; she'll be disabled for life! Don't even think about settling this peacefully without 200,000!"

Three fingers are priced at 200,000; I don't know if that's too much or too little.

But I want more, and I'll wait for Boss Yu to bargain.

"Two hundred thousand?" Boss Yu's face twitched, and he dared not speak.

A loud beeping sound came from outside the door, and Director Hong drove in.

"Hey, you idiot, Yu the monkey, what are you doing?!"

Director Hong grumbled as he walked into the office, but when he saw me, his face immediately lit up with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, I'm here!"

"Brother Hong, thank you for making this trip."

I stood up, shook hands with Director Hong, and pointed at Xue Meiying: "My cousin, Xue Meiying, works here and lost three fingers."

Director Hong nodded and plopped down on Boss Yu's desk.

Mr. Yu hurriedly stepped forward, offered a cigarette, lit it, and apologized, "Director Hong, I don't know your brother, I'm really sorry."

"Sorry, you old man." Director Hong lit a cigarette and glared at him.

"Tell me what to do! Wang Yaozu is my brother, and his cousin is my cousin! If this isn't handled properly, I'll shut down your chicken factory!"

Boss Yu looked at me pitifully: "Boss, how about we... discuss it and settle things once and for all?"
