The other customers shifted their gazes between Hou Jingtao and Zhao Tiezhu, mentally calculating who had truly come out on top in this showdown. They quickly realized that although Zhao Tiezhu had only spoken a few sentences, he had cost Hou Jingtao a significant fortune. Had he actually been forced to cough up that three million, the total loss would have exceeded ten million. They couldn’t help but gasp. They suddenly found him terrifying; in the span of only ten minutes, he had completely turned the tables.
Xiao Mingyan, unaware of what had transpired previously, said coldly, "Forget sitting down. Are you going to pay the financial compensation to Hou Jingtao or not? If not, I’m taking my people and leaving now!" She was efficient and had no desire to waste any more time.
Zhao Tiezhu chuckled and said, "The fertilizer I fermented is meant for growing medicinal vegetables; it’s time-consuming and labor-intensive work. Yet, Hou Jingtao stole it, nearly ruining my supply schedule! Since he’s willing to pay three million in compensation, I’ll reluctantly forgive him. After all, he comes from a powerful family with vast resources, and I wouldn’t dare offend him to the point of no return. Now, should we proceed with the transfer?"
