Chapter 645 Miss Yuan: This is called the art of imperial rule

It has to be said that Manager Ma's move has broadened his career path significantly. After this, he won't just be the manager of the community anymore; he'll likely advance to a higher position.

At the very least, he could become the general manager here. You know, this residential area plus the shopping mall next door is such a big place, there are more than just Manager Ma as a manager.

Manager Ma's authority is more biased towards the residential community, while there are other managers on the shopping mall side.

Even on the property management side, Manager Ma isn't the only one in charge. After this, he'll definitely be the one making the decisions in the community, and he might even become the top or second-in-command at the shopping mall.

Of course, there are other options, such as going out to work on construction projects, and someone will eventually promote him.

Even the young men who came with him could at least become managers. After all, with so many departments, they could be easily assigned positions. Even if they weren't particularly talented, they could still become security captains.

After all, even Miss Yuan said so, which proves that she cares about Manager Ma. With something like this happening, Old Yuan won't need to wait until tomorrow; he'll find out tonight.

The letter of appointment might arrive tomorrow. Miss Yuan knows this perfectly well, and Manager Ma knows it too, though they just keep it to themselves.

Otherwise, if there's no benefit, who would be willing to do things for you? If someone helps you, you must give them an important position so that others will help you solve your problems.

Miss Yuan understood this principle back in junior high school. Even if her parents hadn't called to ask about today's incident, she would have called home to explain. She would have simply mentioned Manager Ma, and her father would have known what had happened.

At this moment, in the mediation room on the first floor of the police station, five people, led by Manager Ma, sat on the left side of the table with their arms crossed and disdainful expressions, while Li Dafu and his family of three, with bruises on their faces, sat on the right side of the table, with four police officers in the middle.

"I disagree. Mediation is fine, but you have to pay compensation, 300,000 yuan, not a penny less! Those guys beat up our family, look what they did to us!" Liang Cuifen slammed her hand on the table and shouted.

Li Dafu nodded: "That's right, they have to pay compensation, and we also need to go to the hospital, so they have to pay for that too. Also, they need to tell us where our daughter is!"

"Three hundred thousand? No way, Mom and Dad, it has to be five hundred thousand. That Li Shiya is a big internet celebrity, she has plenty of money. If she doesn't give it to us, we'll expose her!" Li Yong's eyes were filled with greed.

Manager Ma chuckled and said, "Then we won't mediate, officer. We were fighting each other, weren't we? In that case, we'll go in and stay with their family!"

"Who's going to squat with you? We're not going," Liang Cuifen said, and immediately panicked.

Even if she is completely ignorant of the law, she knows that being detained is not a pleasant experience.

"It's not up to you. Either you accept mediation, or you all go in together. It's up to you to decide."

Also, what you're saying about 300,000 or 500,000 is too exaggerated. It's not like you can have as much as you want.

"Furthermore, regarding Li Shiya and the girls in his shop, you have no evidence to prove that they hit you, so there's nothing we can do. As for whether you want to expose them, that's your business," said Officer Wang.

Upon hearing this, Li Dafu quickly interjected, "How could there not be? That little brat clearly made a move, and they even know these people. How could they not be related? I personally heard this fat man call that little brat 'Little President Yuan'!"

"You're talking nonsense! You think you know each other? Show me the proof!" Manager Ma retorted without holding back.

Police officer Lao Wang was also troubled by this. Zhao Yun had gone out to hide and had some peace and quiet, leaving him here to clean up the mess. Everyone in their bureau knew what kind of people Li Dafu's family was.

He then said to Manager Ma, "Don't shout. Although their compensation demands are a bit outrageous, it's not impossible to lower them. Just pay a little less as a token and settle this privately."

"Let me tell you, if we don't reach a settlement and things escalate to the point of detention, that will leave a criminal record."

There's nothing we can do, that's the job of the police. When there's a fight, we try to mediate first. The Li family's demands are obviously wishful thinking, but you can't really refuse to give them anything, can you?

However, Manager Ma was very firm: "Impossible. People fight for their pride, and even Buddha fights for a stick of incense. My bottom line is to only compensate for medical expenses. You want money in compensation? Fine, go ahead and sue me. Otherwise, you won't get a single penny. And if you ask for any other money, I will not accept mediation and we'll both go to jail together."

"I don't care. It's not like I haven't been in there before. My children have already been affected."

“I don’t care, it’s like I’ve never been in jail,” Li Yong said. He didn’t care; he only cared about getting the money. Manager Ma laughed immediately upon hearing this: “Then what’s the point of mediation? Too difficult? Then forget it, officer, I’ll take the punishment!”

If the settlement is settled privately, the boss will at most promote him to general manager of this area, and he will have the final say in this area. But if he goes in for a few days, he will also be a manager of the shopping mall when he comes out. If it weren't for the instructions from General Manager Yuan, he would never have agreed to the settlement. After all, who would complain about having more credit?

Seeing the situation on both sides, Officer Wang was also very troubled. Even though he had been a police officer for many years, he had rarely seen such a situation where people were eager to go in.

"Ahem, let me make this clear first: if you don't agree to mediation, you'll all be going in and waiting. At most, they'll compensate you for medical expenses. As for anything else, you can figure it out yourselves!" said Officer Wang.

Upon hearing this, Liang Cuifen immediately objected: "What do you mean? If we disagree with what they're saying, we have to go in and jail together? We were beaten, why are you arresting us? Can't we ask for some compensation? Are we just going to let them beat us for nothing?"

"Didn't you beat them up too? Look what you've done to their faces!" Officer Wang said, pointing at Manager Ma's face.

Li Dafu protested: "But we were beaten much worse! Besides, he only had some injuries on his face; we were the ones who got beaten the rest of the time!"

"That's how the law stipulates it. When both parties start fighting, it's called mutual fighting, and we have video evidence here that you did fight back," Officer Wang explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Yong slammed his fist on the table: "What kind of ridiculous rule is this? Does it mean they're only allowed to hit me, but not to fight back? Are we just supposed to be beaten to death? Don't think we don't know the law; this is legitimate self-defense!"

"I'm sorry, but according to the regulations, it's difficult for your actions to constitute legitimate self-defense. Of course, if you disagree, you can appeal; that's your right."

Now you leave your phone number, and we'll give you two days to consider it. We also need to go through the necessary procedures. If you still don't accept mediation after we've completed our evidence collection process, then we will detain you.

The police have a rule: if two people are fighting and refuse mediation, they will not be detained immediately, but will be handled according to procedure.

“Then we need to go to the hospital, and they have to pay for the medical expenses,” Liang Cuifen said.

Manager Ma shrugged and remained silent. Finally, Officer Wang spoke up, saying, "You'll probably need to go to the hospital first. Compensation will only be available once you have a result from your investigation."

The final result was that Li Dafu's family was extremely dissatisfied, shouting and yelling, and only quieted down after being warned by the police.

Manager Ma and the others walked out of the police station with smiles on their faces.

At the police station entrance, Lin Mo and his group of six happened to be there. Seeing Manager Ma and the others come out, Miss Yuan stepped forward and said with a smile, "Manager Ma is a good person and has a sense of responsibility. Take the brothers out for dinner tonight to relax. Someone will reimburse you for the expenses."

Upon hearing this, Manager Ma's face lit up with joy. He knew his matter was settled, and he quickly whispered, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan!"

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan." *4
Miss Yuan nodded upon seeing this, then noticed the young man who was the first to take responsibility. She remembered him well; he was the most proactive when it came to taking action. She smiled and said, "You're not bad. What's your name?"

"Mr. Yuan, my name is Cheng Ye."

"Cheng Ye, I'll remember you. Go!"

Cheng Ye, whose name was mentioned, was overjoyed. Sure enough, Manager Ma was right; opportunities are earned through one's own efforts.

As soon as the group left, Li Dafu and his family came out looking dejected, and they were even more furious when they saw Miss Yuan.

"You little brat, you..." Liang Cuifen was about to start cursing.

But Miss Yuan didn't give her that chance at all, and sneered, "Don't worry, your family's shamelessness will soon spread throughout your hometown and surrounding villages."

After saying that, she turned and left. Lin Mo and the others followed. Chuanmei even whispered to Miss Yuan, "Sister Yuan, you were so cool just now!"

"You don't know anything! I'm going to inherit the throne in the future. This is called the art of imperial rule!" Miss Yuan said arrogantly.

Everyone:.
