The school leaders had all surrounded him then, listening respectfully to his instructions.
He never expected that his brother-in-law would now be conversing so intimately with the other party.
From the书记's gaze, it was clear he still considered Song Qiao as one of his own.
She stood frozen for several minutes before finally snapping out of her shock. Dare not to disturb them, she turned and headed straight home.
At this moment, Xia Yuqing had already been driven home by Zhang Chuan. Upon seeing her sister, she immediately asked anxiously, "How is it? Does Song Qiao have a way to resolve this?"
This matter had after all begun because of her, and Xia Yuqing couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt for the events that had unfolded.
Xia Yuqing hesitated, then shook her head and said, "Not yet. I don't know if my brother-in-law has the ability to resolve it either."
The scene at the entrance of Xinyuan earlier had been too shocking for her. She was now doubting if she had seen it correctly.
Song Qiao was merely a small to medium-sized businessman. How could he be dining with someone of the书记's caliber, and even conversing so congenially?
If this were true, then for Song Qiao to resolve Feng Yuan's issue would require nothing more than a single phone call to completely ruin Feng Yuan's standing in the city.
Seeing her sister's reaction, Xia Yuqing's heart sank, her face turning ashen.
With the overwhelming public opinion, and Song Qiao unable to resolve it, this matter would likely directly affect the factory's business.
"Xue Qing, you should rest first. I'll think of a way to handle this."
After speaking, Xia Yuqing returned to her bedroom alone, her back appearing somewhat forlorn.
Xia Xue Qing hesitated, then said nothing more, shaking her head and returning to her room.
Around three or four in the afternoon, after much deliberation, Xia Yuqing finally left her home and returned to the hospital alone.
Her family could truly not contend with Feng Yuan, and the matter had originated from her. If she could go and apologize to Feng Yuan, perhaps she could gain his forgiveness.
It had not been easy for her husband, Song Qiao, to establish this factory. She could not let all his year's hard work be in vain because of her.
Feng Yuan was currently severely injured and likely wouldn't have any such thoughts. If she lowered her stance, there might be a possibility for reconciliation.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Xia Yuqing hesitated repeatedly before finally knocking on Feng Yuan's door.
"You, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Xia Yuqing, Feng Yuan, who was lying on the bed, was immediately startled. A hint of fear flickered in his eyes.
His colleagues who were supposed to be looking after him had all gone home. If Xia Yuqing intended to do something to him, his fate would surely not be pleasant.
Thinking of this, he instinctively glanced behind Xia Yuqing. Fortunately, Song Qiao had not accompanied her, which brought him a small measure of relief.
"Supervisor Feng, I've come to apologize."
Xia Yuqing lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and said to Feng Yuan, who was lying in bed.
"Hahaha."
"Did I hear that right? It's our Manager Xia, coming to apologize to me?"
Supervisor Feng paused for a moment before realizing what was happening. A triumphant smile spread across his face.
It seemed the public pressure had driven the couple to desperation, otherwise why would Song Qiao send his woman to apologize to him?
"Supervisor Feng, I was overly reactive this morning. My husband is also extremely regretful. We hope you can give our family a chance and let us off the hook."
Xia Yuqing's face turned red as she faced Supervisor Feng's mockery, continuing to speak with her head bowed.
After speaking, she even bowed deeply to Supervisor Feng.
"Let you off the hook? Your husband broke two of my ribs, and you expect us to let you off the hook?"
Seeing Xia Yuqing's timid demeanor, Supervisor Feng became even more arrogant.
"Where is your husband? Tell him to get over here quickly and kneel to apologize. Sending you here doesn't show much sincerity."
After speaking, he sat up with difficulty and glanced condescendingly at Xia Yuqing.
"Supervisor Feng, Song Qiao knows he was wrong now. We are willing to compensate you for your medical expenses, we just hope you can withdraw that news report."
Xia Yuqing continued to plead with difficulty, tears already streaming down her face.
This matter had clearly begun with Supervisor Feng being in the wrong, but for the sake of her husband and family, she could only grit her teeth and endure the humiliation.
"What? Is your husband too proud to come?"
Seeing Xia Yuqing evading the question, Supervisor Feng became angry.
"If he doesn't come, how can your family's sincerity be shown? I will not accept such an apology."
"That news report will remain online. I want to personally witness your family's ruin and then have you scurry out of this city."
Hearing his threat, Xia Yuqing trembled all over. Forcing herself to suppress her inner fear, she shakily took out fifty thousand yuan from her handbag and gently placed it on the table beside Supervisor Feng.
"Supervisor Feng, this is a small token of our sincerity. My husband really cannot come. Consider this money as our apology, and I hope you will be lenient."
"Who cares about your worthless money."
Supervisor Feng greedily glanced at the fifty thousand yuan on the table, but outwardly remained impassive. He even swept the money onto the floor.
"If your husband is unwilling to come, that's fine. As long as he transfers all the shares of Xiang Piaopiao to me, I can also let your family go."
After thinking for a moment, Supervisor Feng proposed his condition.
Being cunning and shrewd, he clearly understood the value of Xiang Piaopiao. Once he owned the factory, it would be like possessing a money-printing machine.
However, upon hearing this, Xia Yuqing suddenly raised her head, looking at Feng Yuan with astonishment.
She could never have imagined that this bastard would dare to make such an outrageous demand, asking for all of Xiang Piaopiao's shares.
"Supervisor Feng, we cannot agree to this condition. Xiang Piaopiao is my husband's entire life's work. We will absolutely not transfer it to anyone else."
"If you think fifty thousand yuan is too little, I can add more."
This time, Xia Yuqing refused directly without hesitation.
"This won't do, and that won't do either. Then what the hell are you here to talk about?"
Supervisor Feng roared in anger, smashing the water cup in his hand.
Xia Yuqing trembled again from the fright.
At this moment, Supervisor Feng grinned lewdly, finally revealing his true colors.
"There is one more condition. I don't want your family's shares, nor do I want your husband to kowtow and apologize. You strip naked now, climb onto my bed, and serve me well, and I'll let your family go."
"What do you think of this condition?"
As Supervisor Feng spoke, his expression became even more lewd, his gaze towards Xia Yuqing filled with lust.
