443: Demanding sky-high compensation

Lan Zijun looked at Su Yue with a helpless expression, put her phone in her pocket, and said, "Look, what should we do?"

The person in the hospital is related to the direction of Digital Future City. Even a slight oversight could cause problems.

If it's a blessing, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, it can't be avoided.

Su Yue pondered for a moment, grabbed his jacket, and said, "What else can we do now? Let's go find him as soon as possible."

As long as the person in the hospital doesn't cause them trouble, their business won't be affected at all.

Wang Ye knew that he was the one who caused the whole incident, so he definitely needed to follow along.

Just as the two of them reached the entrance, Lan Zijun ran out from inside, "Wait for me, I'll go with you."

As the current President of Yuantu Investment, Su Yue's brows furrowed slightly when he heard her wanting to follow.

Originally, Yuantu Investment and Digital Future City were two different entities. If Lan Zijun appeared at the hospital, the nature of the situation would change.

In just a few seconds, Su Yue shook his head, "You stay here. If there are any changes, we'll let you know."

Lan Zijun looked at their calm eyes, feeling somewhat uncomfortable in her heart.

However, she had no choice. She knew that what Su Yue said made sense.

Although Digital Future City was invested in and promoted by Yuantu Investment, they still needed to be kept separate.

Otherwise, ill-intentioned people could simply target Digital Future City and immediately impact Yuantu Investment.

After Su Yue's persuasion, Lan Zijun had no choice but to obediently stay here.

It only took half an hour for Su Yue to drive Wang Ye to the entrance of the hospital.

Since there were Digital Future City staff members watching inside the hospital, someone came to greet them as soon as they got out of the car.

Su Yue looked at the two of them and asked with a serious expression, "What's the situation inside? Can you tell me?"

The Digital Future City staff members exchanged glances and smiled bitterly, "It's a bit troublesome inside, it might... well..."

"What trouble did you encounter inside? Just tell us directly, and we can discuss it."

If they waited until they got to the ward, they would only be able to improvise.

One of them walked up to Su Yue and took a deep breath, "The person inside just needs to recuperate, but... they want compensation."

Su Yue originally thought they wanted to pursue Digital Future City's responsibility, but no one expected that they only wanted compensation.

Instantly, Su Yue burst into laughter, "Isn't it normal for them to want compensation? Take me inside to take a look."

The staff members readily agreed and obediently led the way, wanting to take Su Yue to the ward.

To prevent the two from being separated, Su Yue pulled Wang Ye and signaled him to slow down.

Wang Ye looked at Su Yue with a confused expression, "General Manager Su, you are..."

Su Yue looked at Wang Ye's gaze on him and took a deep breath, "President Wang, let me handle their compensation negotiation later."

As the person in charge of Yuantu Investment, it was normal for him to step forward to negotiate the compensation amount.

Moreover, Digital Future City hasn't even started operating yet, and its operating income is basically negative.

If the patient demanded too much compensation, Digital Future City might not be able to afford it, and ultimately Yuantu Investment would still have to pay.

Wang Ye listened to Su Yue telling him not to discuss the compensation issue and pondered for a moment, "Then... I'll let you handle it."

Su Yue nodded slightly, and the two of them entered the ward.

At this time, the patient was lying in bed with no reaction, with tubes inserted all over his body.

The staff members brought Su Yue and Wang Ye to the bedside and immediately stated their identities.

When the patient's family heard that both Yuantu Investment and Digital Future City had sent people, they looked at them with angry faces.

Su Yue looked apologetic and placed the fruit basket and red envelope on the cabinet.

Before the two could even speak, the patient's family pointed towards the door, "You two come to the door with me, it needs to be quiet here."

Su Yue nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but give Wang Ye a look, signaling him to follow behind him.

The patient's family looked at Su Yue and Wang Ye following behind, their faces full of anger, "Look at your equipment, it electrocuted someone like this?"

Wang Ye looked guilty and leaned towards the patient's family, "We are investigating this matter and will give you..."

Before Wang Ye could finish speaking, the patient's family grabbed Wang Ye's collar and slammed him hard against the wall behind.

"Do you know? He could very likely become a vegetative state, and he's only fifteen years old, what about his future?"

Su Yue saw the patient's family on the verge of losing control and quickly blocked their path, "We can talk properly."

Getting physical in the hospital wouldn't solve the fundamental problem and could even give reporters an opportunity.

If the matter escalated, Yuantu Investment and they could very likely become adversaries.

By then, the patient's family would receive the least amount of money, and Digital Future City's reputation would also be affected.

Wang Ye put his hands down and said helplessly, "Can you let me go first? We are here to solve the problem."

The patient's family turned their head to look at Su Yue and said seriously, "Should we go over there? Who will talk to me?"

He knew that Digital Future City didn't have much money, and negotiating with Wang Ye alone might not result in much compensation.

Wang Ye heard the patient's family wanting to find his contact person and subconsciously looked in Su Yue's direction, "General Manager Su, what do you think..."

Su Yue nodded slightly, "I'll negotiate. Wang Ye is just the technical head of Digital Future City."

When the patient's family learned that Su Yue would personally talk to them, they looked around, wanting to borrow the doctor's office.

The doctor heard that the two needed to discuss compensation and pointed towards the conference room, "There's no one over there."

Anyway, the two were just completing a verbal agreement here; the real agreement needed to be signed back at Yuantu Investment.

In just a few seconds, Su Yue and the patient's family arrived at the entrance of the conference room.

Just then, Wang Ye walked up from behind, looking awkward, "General Manager Su, look... I..."

Su Yue pointed towards the ward, "They are all here, go to the ward and see if there's anything you can help with."

In his eyes, the incident had already happened, and the next step was to look at the compensation aspect.

It didn't take long for the two to sit down inside.

Su Yue looked at the patient's family and took a deep breath, "You first tell us your conditions."

The patient's family heard Su Yue wanting to hear their demands and pondered for a moment, "He will become a vegetative state in the future, you see...."

Although he didn't state the compensation amount, Su Yue already understood what the patient's family meant.

They felt that the patient had lost the ability to work, so they needed Su Yue to provide for their living expenses for the rest of their lives.

Su Yue glanced at the few of them and frowned slightly, "Tell me how much money you need, don't talk about anything else."

Since the whole incident was their fault, Su Yue felt that they had to compensate.

Besides, Digital Future City had just opened and didn't want to get involved in any major incidents.

In just a few seconds, the patient's family put five fingers in front of Su Yue, "Five million, not a cent less."

Su Yue calculated in his mind and felt that the compensation they were asking for was not excessive.

Just as Su Yue was about to agree to the matter, the patient's family's phone on the table rang.

Su Yue looked at the number on it and felt that the number was slightly familiar.

But he didn't say anything, turned his head to the other side, and waited for the patient's family to answer the phone.

The patient's family answered the phone and secretly glanced at Su Yue, "I'll go outside to take the call and come back."

Su Yue nodded slightly, while his mind was recalling the string of numbers from just now.

However, he couldn't figure out the real owner of that number at all.

After about two or three minutes, the patient's family walked in from the door and stood in front of Su Yue.

Su Yue chuckled, "We can go to Yuantu Investment to sign the contract now."

As long as he signed his name on the contract, the compensation amount would reach his account in no time.

However, the patient's family shook their head repeatedly, "We need to renegotiate, the amount just now doesn't count."

Su Yue looked at the patient's family with surprise, not knowing why he suddenly changed his mind.

The patient's family sat down in front of Su Yue and held up five fingers, "I think five million is too little, at least add a zero."

When Su Yue heard him wanting fifty million as compensation, he immediately stood up, "What did you say? Fifty million?"

Even if Digital Future City started operating successfully, it's unlikely to reach a net profit of fifty million in a year.

And the patient's family could ask for a profit of fifty million just by moving their lips, which made him quite puzzled.

The most crucial point was that he changed his mind after receiving a call just now, which indicated that the person on the other end of the phone was very important.

Su Yue looked at the phone in his hand and frowned slightly, "Who was the person who called you just now?"

The patient's family looked at Su Yue questioning him and didn't say a word for a long time.

It seemed that the owner of that phone was the most important person.

Su Yue originally wanted to continue asking about the person behind him, but who knew that the patient's family had already lost their temper.

The patient's family glared at Su Yue, "Just say whether you are willing to compensate or not? If not... we'll go through legal channels."

He originally didn't think going through legal channels would be advantageous, but now he felt that he could only gain an advantage by doing so.

Su Yue looked at his 360-degree turn and put his hands on his chest, "It seems that the person behind you has given you a lot of advice."

Without someone else's reminder, it is unlikely that the patient's family would do such a thing.

The patient's family knew that staying here would eventually expose them, and said indifferently, "If you're not going to give it, let's not talk anymore."

Before Su Yue could react, the patient's family had already left the conference room.

Su Yue watched the patient's family leave and followed behind him, and the two of them arrived at the ward.

As he had predicted, the staff members and Wang Ye were all kicked out by him.

Su Yue looked at the two of them and frowned slightly, "The negotiation has collapsed."

Wang Ye originally thought that Su Yue should be able to handle them, but he didn't expect that Su Yue didn't even have this ability.

In just a few seconds, Su Yue pointed his chin towards the door, "Let's go, let's leave here first, I think they are up to something."

It didn't take long for Su Yue to lead them to the car.

Wang Ye pointed to the staff members beside him, "Don't we need to keep them there? What if they inflate the price?"

Su Yue looked at Wang Ye desperately needing the staff members to go back there and shook his head repeatedly, "I'll give them some instructions."

When Wang Ye heard that Su Yue already had a way to handle it, he walked up to Su Yue, "General Manager Su, you arrange it, and we'll listen."

Su Yue pointed towards the hospital, "I want to ask you, are you familiar with the doctors in the hospital?"

The staff members nodded in surprise, "Of course, we usually like to talk to the doctors about the patient's condition, we're afraid they'll ask for money."

In their eyes, the patient might ask the doctor to charge more, making them spend extra money unnecessarily.

Su Yue got this information and sneered, "Find a way to help me with something, get his recent call records."

Instantly, everyone understood.

There must be an expert behind the patient's family. Only by exposing the expert behind him can their negotiation be successful.

As the staff members left, Su Yue and Wang Ye sat in the car.

Wang Ye saw that Su Yue seemed to be leaving and couldn't help but ask Su Yue, "General Manager Su, where are we going now?"

Su Yue pointed his chin outside, "We're going back to Digital Future City to get the evidence from the security personnel first."

As long as they had evidence in their hands, they could openly find trouble with that person.

Wang Ye frowned slightly when he heard Su Yue say this, "I'm afraid they will find someone to expose us."

Digital Future City had just opened, and if the whole incident was exposed by reporters, their investment could go down the drain.

Su Yue looked at Wang Ye's gaze on him and sneered, "Their goal is money, don't worry."

If they wanted to expose it, they would have already exposed it long ago, there's no reason to wait until now.

In just half an hour, Su Yue drove Wang Ye back to Digital Future City.

As he had expected, the gates of Digital Future City were closed, and Lan Zijun was sitting inside with a worried expression.

When she saw Su Yue and Wang Ye return, she quickly walked towards them, "How is it? Did you handle it?"

Su Yue and Wang Ye were more concerned about the chain of evidence and didn't respond to Lan Zijun; the two walked inside.

They originally thought the person should still be in the office, but they didn't expect the security personnel to have been let go.
