Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.

Director Wang's side insisted that it was the Li family who led the disturbance and besieged the machinery factory.

The people here all claim to be righteous and can't stand bullies like Director Wang who abuse their power.

After investigation, the Public Security Bureau confirmed that the people from the machinery factory started the attack, and that Director Wang did indeed have a very bad reputation among the people.

Therefore, the factory director was ordered to compensate the Li family and the injured for all medical expenses and lost wages, and to issue a public apology.

Wang Mazi and others were arrested for injuring people with weapons.

Those who upheld justice were criticized and educated before being released.

Inside the police station, Director Wang looked utterly defeated.

How did things get to this point!

He didn't mean to hurt anyone.

He just wanted to invite the old lady and the Li family into the factory to discuss the follow-up compensation. How did he become a bully who oppresses the people?

It's all Wang Mazi's fault for acting impulsively without thinking. How are we going to clean this up now?

"Minister Wang, this matter... we can't handle it vaguely anymore..."

The impact is too great... Someone at the higher-ups has already reported it to the city government, and it can't be suppressed anymore...

The bureau chief hung up the phone, looking exhausted.

Even if Minister Wang called personally, he could only handle it officially.

If he dares to cover this up, his job as bureau chief is over.

Director Li personally sent someone to the hospital to inquire about Zhang Wenying's requests.

Zhang Wenying's demands were simple: First, Factory Director Wang must issue a public apology and compensate the Li family for all their losses; second, she would not accept compensation from the Pan family and those who committed the wrongdoing, and they must be severely punished according to the law without leniency.

Third, the machinery factory must guarantee that it will not cause any more trouble for the Li family in the future; otherwise, they will continue to file lawsuits.

This time, Director Wang showed a very good attitude in admitting his mistake. He came to the hospital, knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, and also bowed to Zhang Wenying to apologize.

After all, if he doesn't back down, the factory manager position will likely be taken by someone else.

Besides, Li Wenjun didn't lose his life, so there's still room for maneuver.

However, both Zhang Wenying and the old lady were adamant in their stance and refused to accept a private settlement.

The Public Security Bureau and higher authorities both sent people to mediate, all wanting to do Director Wang a favor.

After all, the Wang family also has an older brother who is a minister in Beijing, which puts them in a difficult position.

After most of the people who had pleaded for her had arrived, and the ward was filled with various gifts and nutritional supplements, Zhang Wenying and the old lady exchanged a glance and felt that the time was right.

When Director Wang saw that Zhang Wenying was willing to negotiate, he was so excited that he almost cried on the spot.

"As long as you're willing to agree, you can name any conditions you want!" Factory Manager Wang assured him, patting his chest.

Factory Director Wang has extensive connections. He borrowed a conference room from the hospital, and the two sides sat down for formal negotiations.

The old lady sipped her sweetened tea and slowly said, "Wenying makes the decisions in our family. You should talk to her."

Zhang Wenying's expression was calm, but she still felt a sense of oppression from the two police officers sitting opposite her.

But she was not afraid at all.

She's in the right, what is she afraid of?

Several important figures were sitting opposite me, but they all had kind expressions on their faces.

Because they really hope to reach a settlement and minimize the impact.

Zhang Wenying cleared her throat and said, "Since all the leaders are here, I won't beat around the bush. First, the Pan family must be severely punished according to the law, without any leniency. This is the bottom line."

Director Li quickly reassured him, "Don't worry about that."

The Pan family, father and son, already have a long history of misconduct, and now they've gotten themselves into this mess. We will definitely deal with them severely according to the law and show absolutely no leniency.

"Secondly," Zhang Wenying said, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, "my second son, Li Wenjun, almost lost his life this time. Medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for emotional distress—not a single one can be spared."

Furthermore, the machinery factory must provide a written guarantee that it will not cause any further difficulties for the Li family for any reason; otherwise, we reserve the right to continue our appeals.

Factory Director Wang nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course! We'll cover all the medical expenses, plus an extra two thousand yuan in compensation to the Li family, plus two sets of employee dormitories. How does that sound?"

He was utterly terrified of Zhang Wenying and the Li family.

They are not just ordinary people.

He was clearly a tough nut to crack.

Each and every one of these incidents, from being passively attacked to taking the initiative, was a calculated move that struck at his weak points.

The more Director Wang thought about it, the more frightened he became; the cold sweat on his back never dried.

He just didn't know if Zhang Wenying was satisfied with the conditions he had given.

Zhang Wenying, a middle-aged woman, actually knew about all sorts of fees, but she didn't know if she could accept the final amount.

What can I do if I don't accept it?

Even if it means selling everything we own, we have to settle this matter.

Otherwise, even his elder brother, who is a minister, probably couldn't protect him.

Zhang Wenying picked up her teacup, took a slow sip, and didn't reply immediately.

The meeting room was so quiet you could hear the ticking of the wall clock. She put down her teacup and smiled slightly: "Director Wang is a straightforward person."

However, two thousand yuan and two dorm rooms may sound like a lot, but the suffering my second child has endured cannot be compensated for by such a small amount.

The losses I incurred from my shop alone were considerable.

I won't ask for much, just give me 30,000 yuan, medical expenses are separate, and I'll still give you a dormitory spot.

My son has missed so many days of the construction schedule; he's probably going to lose his job.

This is a task your machinery factory must resolve.

"I'll pay each of the injured members of the Li family 500 yuan in compensation for emotional distress, and then we'll consider this matter closed."

The machinery factory was considered the largest state-owned factory in Shanghai.

Other factories went bankrupt one after another, but the machinery factory was later transformed into a joint-stock company and has been doing well ever since.

If the second son could get a job at the machinery factory, that would be much better than staying at his current workplace.

It wasn't that she had forgotten the lessons of her past life, but rather that by giving him a good job, she spared him the thought of splitting the money with her.

As for whether Director Wang will make things difficult for the second son, that's beyond her control.

But as long as Zhang Wenying is still alive, Director Wang will have to treat her like a goddess.

As soon as he finished speaking, the people opposite him looked at each other in dismay; 30,000 yuan was no small sum.

Add in the medical expenses and the compensation for emotional distress to the more than twenty people from the Li and Zhang families, and it will cost at least 40,000 yuan.

Factory Director Wang's expression changed, and his lips moved, but he didn't dare to refuse directly.

He gritted his teeth, looked at Director Li, and saw the other man shake his head slightly, signaling him not to act impulsively.

Factory Director Wang took a deep breath, wishing he could punch Zhang Wenying's smiling face.

Even with his illicit income, he hadn't saved this much money over the years.

Director Li could tell from Director Wang's expression that he was worried about the money. He cleared his throat and continued, "Sister Zhang, Director Wang will seriously consider the conditions you proposed. However, 30,000 yuan is indeed not a small amount, you see..."

"How about you ask for less, so we can both save face..."
