Yun Geming finally felt reassured: "Alright, since you can guarantee not to disclose it, I will definitely find a way to gather the compensation for you. However, there’s no need for a bank transfer. I’ll deliver it to the empty courtyard at your house at 8 PM in three days."
"That works too."
Mengyu looked at Yun Geming, sighing inwardly. At this time, it was still 1981. Twenty-one thousand yuan was a huge sum of money, and yet he dared to say he’d bring it out!
How many treasures did he gather during the massive campaign?
Mengyu walked out of the director’s office of the appeal office, and the neighbors all gathered around.
Zhou Dasha asked, "How did it go? Did he agree to the compensation?"
Mengyu nodded: "Let’s head out first and talk back in the courtyard."
Once they were out of the Government Building, with their eyes on the courtyard that had been burned, Zhou Dasha asked, "Did Yun Geming agree to compensate our neighbors’ losses?"
Aunt Lin also asked, "How much did he agree to compensate?"
The other neighbors looked at Mengyu anxiously.
Mengyu thought for a moment and said, "He agreed to compensate each affected household one thousand yuan for their losses caused by association!"
Upon hearing Mengyu’s words, the families that had been implicated immediately felt happy. One thousand yuan was enough to build a normal room. Meanwhile, the most they had lost was merely half a room.
Those who weren’t nearby and hadn’t suffered any losses felt a bit uncomfortable. We all came together, yet only a few of you are getting compensated, and we’re left with nothing.
Seeing their sullen faces, Mengyu added, "Other neighbors will each get five hundred yuan in compensation."
"When will the money be compensated?"
"In three days."
Hearing this, the neighbors all became cheerful: "Miss Nan really has some skills."
However, they looked at Mengyu with curiosity: What method did she use to make Yun Geming agree to pay compensation?
Moreover, if he’s giving so much to these people, how much is he giving to this girl?
They all knew very well that the Yun Family was very proud and looked down on others.
Could she have used some unsavory means?
But no one dared to ask except for Zhou Dasha, who directly asked: "Miss Nan, what kind of spell did you use to make Yun Geming agree to pay?"
Mengyu smiled: "It’s very simple. The old director is retiring, and Yun Geming wants to move from vice to full status. He can’t avoid compensation. Otherwise, if we cause trouble when he’s about to be promoted, can he still get promoted?"
The neighbors suddenly understood: So that’s how it is.
Aunt Lin couldn’t help but ask, "How much did he agree to compensate for your house?"
"He agreed to help me rebuild it. Naturally, whatever it costs to rebuild the courtyard, that’s what he’ll compensate," Mengyu said.
Upon hearing this, the neighbors all had strange expressions.
The neighbors all sighed inwardly: Yun Geming agreed to you now because he’s looking to get promoted. Once he moves up, will he still help you rebuild the courtyard?
But this issue was something no one dared to speak of. If mentioned, would Yun Geming still compensate them the money?
One couldn’t mention it!
Mengyu looked at the neighbors, each tight-lipped like gourds, and sighed inwardly. It’s true, as long as it involves their own interests, people will prioritize themselves.
The same went for these neighbors; they only cared about whether they would receive their compensation, never mind whether yours would be fulfilled. All for their five hundred or one thousand yuan, even knowing you’re the one with the larger claim, they weren’t willing to say a few words for you.
This is the human heart!
