Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 1071 Negotiations
in an awkward atmosphere.

Sophie stepped forward at the right time and gave the other party a step, "Patriarch, Zhao Dong is short-tempered, you must not be as knowledgeable as him."

Filling the patriarch's teacup with water, she obediently returned to Zhao Dong's back, pressed Zhao Dong's shoulders with both hands, pressed them gently, and said at the same time, "Speak well, the patriarch also cares about Jiaqi, doesn't it? Can you still speak to outsiders?"

Zhao Dong raised his hand cooperatively and said: "Patriarch, you drink tea, I don't care about what I say, don't mind."

The patriarch held up the teacup with a wry smile. As expected of a couple, they even cooperate so well. It's a pity that they have to stand on opposite sides now!

He stabilized his emotions, and then said, "Xiaodong, what are you going to do about this matter? I want to hear your thoughts!"

Zhao Dong refused to accept, "Patriarch, I have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, what do you think?"

The patriarch could only speak first, "That Xiang Zhidong is from Linzhen, I know his parents, he is an honest farmer."

"To tell you the truth, the old couple came to see me this morning. There is only one son in the family. They are more anxious than anyone else when this happens."

"They are all from the village, and I can't ignore them, so I agreed."

Zhao Dong was not surprised, "Oh? So the patriarch really came to be a lobbyist."

After all, this is Kaoshan Town, and the patriarch gradually regained the initiative, "Xiaodong, don't misunderstand, my aunt is from the Zhao family, and Jiaqi is not an outsider. It is only appropriate for me, the patriarch, to come forward in this matter!"

"If you don't plan to reconcile this matter, what else do you want to do?"

"I know your temperament, I don't rub the sand in my eyes, I want to seek justice for Jiaqi!"

"To be honest, when I found out about Jiaqi's accident, I was also very angry!"

"But have you ever thought about what kind of impact it will have on Jiaqi once the news spreads?"

Zhao Dong sneered, "What effect can it have?"

The patriarch raised his head, "Regardless of the truth of the matter, Jiaqi fell from the hotel, it's hard to say!"

"It's really going to be a big mess. How do you tell Jiaqi to meet people in the future? How to face her parents and fellow villagers? How to face her teachers and classmates?"

"The college entrance examination is coming soon, how can you let her prepare for the exam with peace of mind?"

Zhao Dong asked back, "Then what do you mean, let's leave this matter alone?"

Seeing that Zhao Dong was willing to talk, the patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, "Forget it? Forget it, it will definitely not work. If there is no explanation for this matter, let's go over here!"

As he said that, he changed the subject, "But I don't think we need to make this a big deal, at least not so that everyone knows about it!"

Zhao Dong gradually lost his patience, "Patriarch, you have something to say!"

The patriarch went around in circles for a long time before getting straight to the point, "You also know that Zhiqiang has connections in the town. If you want, I can ask him to come forward and make peace."

"This matter will be handled through a private settlement between the two parties!"

"Regardless of whether this incident has anything to do with Xiang Zhidong, since he has already entered the hospital, I think it is also a lesson for him!"

"Xiaodong, even if the truth of this matter is found out, what can you do to him?"

"The big deal is to lock him up for a few years, or pay a little compensation."

"Justice has been recovered, but what is lost? It's Jiaqi's reputation. How do you let her marry in the future?"

In fact, this matter was so difficult mainly because it involved Zhao Dong.

Seeing that Zhao Dong was silent and showing signs of loosening, the patriarch struck out while the iron was hot: "Xiaodong, we are adults, we can love each other as we please, but Jiaqi is just a child, you have to think carefully about which is more important!"

Zhao Dong lit a cigarette, "Oh, how do you plan to compensate the Xiang family?"

The patriarch made a condition, "50, not counting Jiaqi's follow-up treatment, and Zhiqiang can also help out by arranging a transfer for Jiaqi."

"He can arrange the best high schools in the county, including key ones in the city!"

Zhao Dong mocked: "Huang Zhiqiang is quite enthusiastic."

The patriarch's face remained unchanged and he said: "Xiqiang is also my son-in-law now, if I ask, how can he not put his heart into this matter?"

"Xiaodong, what's your attitude?"

"If you can't make up your mind, well, I'll go talk to my aunt."

Zhao Dong waved his hand, "No need, my aunt has given me full authority over Jiaqi's matter!"

The patriarch was a little apprehensive, "Xiaodong, what do you think about it?"

"There are no outsiders here, please give me a statement. If you feel that the compensation is less, I will tell the Xiang family again!"

"Also, if you have other requests, you can just ask them!"

"Jiaqi is not an outsider, and our town, including the Zhao family, will not ignore her!"

Zhao Dong took out a cigarette, lit it and threw the case on the table, "Patriarch, it's not that I, Zhao Dong, don't give you face."

"50, I really didn't pay attention to it!"

Seeing that the patriarch was about to open his mouth, he waved his hand, "Don't worry, it's not a matter of more money or less money. If Xiang Zhidong really did this, he deserves what he deserves, and I don't want to be unforgiving."

"But do you know what happened to Jiaqi?"

"She was forced to jump off by a group of hooligans in the hotel!"

"Jiaqi has never caused trouble, such a well-behaved child, you don't want to know how she was targeted by the little hooligans?"

The patriarch felt a little guilty, "Why... are you being targeted?"

Zhao Dong stared into his eyes, "Half a month ago, Jiaqi wrote a report letter to the provincial government. It was because of this letter that she was targeted!"

"Xiang Zhidong? He's just a kid at best!"

"As far as I know, this matter has nothing to do with Li Zhihao."

"Li Zhihao, patriarch, are you familiar with him? The people in our town are also one of the vice presidents of the mining company!"

"Also, I heard that he has a good relationship with Huang Zhiqiang, and he often eats and drinks with Zhang Li."

"It's fine, why do you think Jiaqi has something to do with this matter?"

The patriarch finally couldn't sit still, in fact, Xue Jiaqi's matter was just a layer of window paper!

Since the meeting, he has been trying his best to avoid getting involved in the direction of the conversation with the mining company!
Try to solve all the problems at once through Jiaqi!
It didn't come to fruition, Zhao Dong still unceremoniously pierced the window paper!
It directly pushed the whole matter to an irreversible situation, and pushed him to the edge of the cliff!
If there was no conversation this morning, the patriarch would not want to tear himself apart with Zhao Dong!

But now the legal person of the mining company is Zhao Dashan. Once Zhao Dong makes trouble, pulls out the carrots and brings out the mud, he will be implicated in those dirty things that Huang Zhiqiang did.

Among other things, he, Zhao Dashan, was the first to suffer!
Now that the words have been broken, the patriarch is too lazy to act, the previous gentleness gradually disappeared, and his tone became a little more serious, "Zhao Dong, what do you want?"

Zhao Dong raised the corners of his mouth, "I just want to end this matter by pushing out a random guy. Is it really because I, Zhao Dong, are made of mud?"

The patriarch suppressed his anger, "Then where else did you find out?"

Zhao Dong said with a loud voice, "The grievance has its head, and the debt has its owner. Naturally, one counts as one!"

The patriarch trembled violently, and slapped the table hard, "Zhao Dong, how dare you!"

Bang!
All the teacups on the table also jumped up!
