Chapter 214: The Employee Burned While Breaking Up a Fight! Go for Mediation?

Returning home happily, Su Yang enjoyed Tao Xue's tenderness.

This girl had been coming over quite frequently lately, never complaining about being tired.

She was really putting in all her effort, wanting to own her own luxury car.

Qin Shuang was somewhat inhumane; that huge cardboard box hadn't been depleted much even now.

At 11 PM, just after Su Yang had showered, he received a call from Ji Guoxiong.

Find complete Taiwanese novels at Chaoquan.

Seeing it was Ji Guoxiong's call, Su Yang answered immediately.

Unless there was an emergency, Ji Guoxiong would definitely not call him at this hour.

Ji Guoxiong: "Boss, something happened at the hot pot restaurant!"

Wrapped in a bath towel, Su Yang sat on the sofa and said, "Just tell me!"

"A couple had a spat and started fighting in the restaurant. One of our male employees stepped in to mediate but was accidentally pushed by the man. His hand was shoved into the boiling hot pot, and he's been sent to the hospital now," Ji Guoxiong said in a low voice. "I'm on my way to the hospital now. According to the store manager, the employee's hand might be scarred!"

Su Yang's expression gradually darkened. "What about the one who hit him?"

"Taken away by the police!"

"Which hospital? I'll go take a look!"

Hearing the name of the hospital Ji Guoxiong provided, Su Yang hurried back to the bedroom to change his clothes.

After getting dressed, he gave Tao Xue a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Something came up at the company, I need to head out!"

Tao Xue asked worriedly, "Is it serious?"

Su Yang said helplessly, "Not serious for me, but quite serious for someone else!"

Hearing Su Yang say this, Tao Xue stopped worrying. "Then go ahead!"

"Mm!"

He drove straight to the hospital.

At the hospital entrance, Su Yang met Ji Guoxiong's assistant.

The assistant led him into the hospital, where he saw the employee on a hospital bed.

He was still a young boy, his face somewhat pale.

He looked quite ordinary, tall and thin.

The moment he saw him, Su Yang recalled the boy's information.

Chen Yixuan, nineteen years old, high school graduate.

His left hand was tightly wrapped in bandages, and he was currently on an IV drip.

He said to Ji Guoxiong with some embarrassment, "Mr. Ji, actually, I could have just sat in the hallway for the IV!"

"Don't worry about that. We'll help you get compensation, and we'll advance the medical fees first!"

Standing there, Ji Guoxiong gave off a very reliable impression.

"Dong Chunyu, have you notified Chen Yixuan's family?"

Dong Chunyu said softly, "Xiao Chen said not to notify them!"

Ji Guoxiong looked at Chen Yixuan, who quickly said, "There's no need to notify them for such a small matter!"

"Mr. Ji, the Boss is here!"

Ji Guoxiong's assistant reminded him in a whisper.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Chen Yixuan struggled to stand up, but Su Yang quickly pressed him down. "Just stay lying down!"

"Oh!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, Chen Yixuan chose to lie back down obediently.

However, he still felt somewhat overwhelmed by the attention!

Su Yang looked at his hand, took a deep breath, and asked in a gentle tone, "Is your hand okay?"

Chen Yixuan said quite nonchalantly, "It shouldn't be a big problem. The doctor said no nerves were damaged, so it won't affect hand movement!"

Dong Chunyu said in a low voice, "The doctor said it might leave a scar."

Chen Yixuan said carelessly, "Boss, I'm fine. At most, it'll just be a scar."

Hearing Chen Yixuan's words, Su Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

A scar on the hand was no good thing; at the very least, it wouldn't look good!

He glanced at Chen Yixuan's loyalty, which was also over 80.

Su Yang changed the subject and looked at Dong Chunyu. "What exactly happened?"

Dong Chunyu briefly explained to Su Yang, which was largely consistent with what Ji Guoxiong had told him.

Likely knowing Su Yang would come, Dong Chunyu had also prepared the on-site surveillance footage.

The police had obtained the surveillance footage from the hot pot restaurant, and she had an employee give her a copy.

It was basically that the couple eating hot pot had started arguing for some reason, and the woman struck first.

Then both sides started fighting, and the hot pot restaurant employees rushed to intervene.

Chen Yixuan blocked the man, while Dong Chunyu and another person pulled the woman away.

Then Chen Yixuan was shoved by the man, couldn't maintain his balance, and instinctively reached out to brace himself, pressing his left hand into the boiling hot pot...

Seeing the final scene, Su Yang couldn't help but frown.

He wasn't interested in the reason for the couple's argument at all.

From the surveillance video, he was definitely on the employee's side.

He dialed Liu Fengshan's number and asked him to send over a lawyer proficient in public security management and criminal litigation.

Chen Yixuan asked in a low voice, "Boss, is it necessary to get a lawyer?"

Su Yang said naturally, "Of course it is!"

Recalling this employee's attitude, he added, "Don't worry about the legal fees either; the company has money!"

Anyway, Jiuxiang Catering's legal fees were paid to Hongyu Law Firm.

Most of the legal fees would either turn into company profits,

or turn into lawyer salaries and bonuses...

It was equivalent to moving money from his left hand to his right.

Not using a lawyer would be a loss!

Before midnight, the thirty-seven-year-old lawyer Feng Desong hurried over.

He got a general understanding of the incident and told Su Yang that it would be difficult to qualify this as a criminal case.

The specific situation would still require a formal Injury Assessment!

However, even if the Injury Assessment came out, he suggested going through the mediation process to strive for more compensation.

He could probably see Chen Yixuan's financial straits.

If there was no deep-seated hatred between the parties, he usually recommended the mediation process in such situations.

After all, ordinary people couldn't afford the time, and getting the money was more practical!

Chen Yixuan also seemed somewhat swayed.

Before the lawyer could leave, an elderly couple and a young woman came looking for them.

The moment he saw that young woman, Su Yang recognized her.

Wasn't she the woman in the video who had been fighting with her husband?

Standing to the side, Su Yang casually pulled out his phone...

Dong Chunyu and Chen Yixuan also recognized the woman.

Dong Chunyu frowned and said, "What are you here for?"

The man, around fifty years old, said politely, "We are Wang Jialei's family. This time it was my son's fault, so we want to provide some compensation. Could you sign a Letter of Forgiveness?"

Dong Chunyu asked, "How much are you planning to compensate?"

"We'll cover the medical fees and pay another five thousand, how's that?"

Dong Chunyu frowned. "That's too little, isn't it? The doctor said his hand might be scarred!"

Wang Jialei's mother, a somewhat thin and gaunt old woman, glanced at Chen Yixuan's hand on the bed and said:

"It's just a burn! What's the big deal if a man has a little scar?"

"Then there's no need to talk. You can leave!" Su Yang was almost laughed out of anger. "We'll follow the legal process!"

Seeing Su Yang speak up, Dong Chunyu and Ji Guoxiong didn't say anything more.

The old woman frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Su Yang said in a flat tone, "The hot pot restaurant is mine."

"It's just a little burn, don't go too far... I'm telling you, my niece works at the Food and Drug Administration. I advise you not to be too arrogant, or I'll make it so you can't even keep your hot pot restaurant open!"

Su Yang asked curiously, "Is your niece's position very high?"

"A Section Chief, and very young!"

"Who is it?" Su Yang deliberately feigned a bit of hesitation and fear as he asked, "Which Section Chief?"

"Wang Jiamin, you'll know if you check!"

Su Yang almost couldn't hold it together!

Does this old woman have some deep-seated grudge against her own niece?

Just then, the young woman who hadn't spoken the whole time suddenly realized, "Are you recording?"

Su Yang smiled, too lazy to talk to these people!

You couldn't blame them; Su Yang had started recording the moment they walked in.

As the boss of an MCN agency, recording was a normal hobby.

He was already quite tall, so when he was recording these people, it just looked like he was playing with his phone.

Young people nowadays often have their phones in hand, so it looked very normal.

"Are you really recording?"

Wang Jialei's father also became worried.

"I feel like you're not very sincere!" Su Yang changed the subject. "How about you talk to our company's lawyer instead?"

Feng Desong stepped forward at the right time and said, "I am Feng Desong, the lawyer for Jiuxiang Catering. You can talk to me!"

Wang Jialei's father didn't pay any attention to the lawyer at all; he was starting to realize something was wrong:

"Can you delete the video?"

"That won't do!"

Su Yang smiled and shook his head.

Just then, Wang Jialei's father suddenly reached out, trying to grab Su Yang's phone.

But with Su Yang's reaction speed, how could he let him have his way?

Su Yang lightly stepped back, and Ji Guoxiong, Dong Chunyu, and Feng Desong immediately stood in front of him!

Both sides confronted each other for a while, but Su Yang's side clearly had a stronger aura!

Seeing that nothing could be done, the Wang family left dejectedly.

Lying on the bed, Chen Yixuan asked in a low voice, "Boss, should we just take the five thousand and forget it?"

He didn't want the hot pot restaurant to be unable to stay open because of him.

"It's fine, a Section Chief can't do anything to us," Su Yang said with a smile. "Besides, the one who should be worried now is that Section Chief!"

As he said this, Su Yang suddenly felt like he had a bit of a villainous aura!

Jiuxiang Catering was already a local giant in the hot pot chain industry.

With over 1,400 full-time employees, they were very proactive in paying taxes every year and had received many commendations and honors!

At the last catering association meeting, the deputy leader in charge had even praised Jiuxiang Catering, encouraging them to continue expanding their business, hoping they could become a new national hot pot chain giant like Guodilao.

The current Jiuxiang Catering, as long as they didn't commit any fundamental errors, really wasn't something anyone could shake!

Did they really think he was just some ordinary small hot pot shop owner?

"Okay then!"

Su Yang's words still carried a lot of authority in Chen Yixuan's eyes.

"Mr. Ji, do you know Wang Jiamin?"

Ji Guoxiong nodded. "I've dealt with her before!"

Su Yang asked curiously, "What's she like?"

He only knew the Director and Deputy Director...

Ji Guoxiong said quite objectively, "I feel she's quite decent, and her abilities are strong too!"

"Then give her a call," Su Yang said after a moment's thought. "Ask her if that Wang Jialei is her relative. If he is, tell her what just happened, mainly about the Wang family's threats, and see her... attitude!"

" OK!"
