Chapter 213: Thanks to Northern Jiang's Bro for Sending the Cattle

Southern Jiang, Governor's Mansion!

"Finally, that woman knows my strength! What a relief!"

Lu Wu's rich lady, putting aside her queenly mask, smiled like a young girl.

It wasn't easy!

Ever since a certain incident caused a falling out between Jiang Yuesheng and that woman over twenty years ago, Jiang Yuesheng had always been the one being bullied in every aspect.

After she took on the role of Governor in Southern Jiang, that woman directly took control of Northern Jiang and continued to bully her for five years, causing Southern Jiang to suffer as well.

This was the first time Jiang Yuesheng had the upper hand in all these years.

Lu Wu had just revealed his ace during the live stream.

Without a second thought, Jiang Yuesheng immediately took action, bringing down Lin Huai and North Jiang Wind.

Yes, Lin Huai's downfall was largely due to her behind-the-scenes machinations.

Without her, Lin Huai wouldn't have fallen so easily or quickly.

This time, taking down Lin Huai felt like a significant victory for Jiang Yuesheng. She was overjoyed, as happy as a fool's daughter in a landlord's family.

However, at this moment, the white-clad woman poured cold water on her.

"Don't be too happy yet. That woman probably doesn't care about Lin Huai's life or death. For her, removing Lin Huai and installing a new one is no big deal. It won't take much effort!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuesheng's excitement immediately diminished.

She knew that the situation in Northern Jiang was different from Southern Jiang.

Or rather, their control over their respective territories was different.

Jiang Yuesheng had been in office for five years, serving as the face of the organization until this year, when she finally managed to gain some power.

On the other hand, that woman had been in Northern Jiang for twenty years, already having a significant grip on the region. After Jiang Yuesheng took office in Southern Jiang, that woman gained even more control over Northern Jiang.

Now, Northern Jiang had become that woman's little kingdom, where her word was more powerful than the Alliance's.

Appointing or dismissing a university president in Northern Jiang was not a difficult task for her.

If not for this level of control, she wouldn't have had the confidence to try to merge Southern Jiang and become the governor of two provinces.

However, since this was the first time she had the upper hand, Jiang Yuesheng was still in a good mood.

"Regardless, taking down a university president in Northern Jiang, making a handsome profit, and causing them headaches for a while, I'm very satisfied with this outcome."

She was even considering being nicer to Lu Wu.

…………

On the other side, in Northern Jiang.

Jiang Yuesheng was right; many people in Northern Jiang were indeed very troubled.

Lin Huai had fallen, but the mess he left behind remained.

The situation needed to be resolved.

Now, Northern Jiang faced two main issues.

One was the compensation issue with Lu Wu.

The other was the issue of appeasing the customers who had purchased the [Boneless Wild Pig Broth].

Firstly, before Lin Huai fell, he admitted that Northern Jiang had plagiarized the breeding plan, so Northern Jiang had to provide the corresponding compensation.

Although Shi Ying had taken the blame, Northern Jiang had indeed profited from the plagiarized plan, so Lu Wu had every right to demand compensation.

At the same time Shi Ying confessed,

Jiang Yuesheng sent a letter to Northern Jiang in Lu Wu's name, demanding compensation for economic, reputational, and emotional losses, totaling 1,432,111 points.

Over a million points, with a precise figure.

The second issue, the customer appeasement, was even more critical.

Although the economic loss to the customers was around three to four million points, the bigger loss was the contractual loss.

Their summoned beasts were directly destroyed due to the breeding plan.

The customers were left with two options: either accept a lifetime with a 0-star Elite summoned beast, or abandon the Boneless Wild Pig and re-contract a new summoned beast.

Neither choice was easy, and both came with significant costs.

Some customers had already demanded that the Northern Jiang Breeding Center must compensate them five times their losses.

These two issues had put the Northern Jiang Breeding Center's leadership in a difficult position.

They weren't worried about not having the money to compensate.

The Northern Jiang Breeding Center had the funds; they just didn't want to pay.

One reason was that they felt the issue was Lin Huai's doing, and since he was already out of office, there was no reason for the remaining team to pay for his mistakes.

Another reason was the leadership's consideration.

After Lin Huai fell, the deputy director, Zhou Kai, took charge of the vocational center.

He had already sensed that the person behind this was that woman.

How he handled this mess would directly affect whether he could be promoted.

If he did well and satisfied that woman, he could be promoted; if he failed, he might be out of a job.

So Zhou Kai hesitated for a long time before adopting a particularly ruthless approach.

Three days after Lu Wu's live stream ended,

The Northern Jiang Breeding Center issued a statement, expressing willingness to take full responsibility for the incident and promising to do their best to compensate those affected.

These words were beautifully phrased, touching and making people feel that there were still good people in Northern Jiang.

However, the tone then shifted.

They explained that due to the previous director, Lin Huai, embezzling the center's funds year after year, the center was experiencing financial difficulties and might not be able to compensate everyone at once. Therefore, they would have to compensate in batches.

The victims could understand and empathize with the situation. After all, it was already a significant step for Northern Jiang to rectify their attitude in such a short time.

They never expected Northern Jiang to compensate them all at once, and they would be content if the compensation was distributed in batches, even if it's just a little for each person."

After obtaining the victims' understanding, Northern Jiang promptly addressed the compensation issue and quickly released a list of compensations.

Almost every customer was taken care of, with each receiving 300 points, totaling 4,677 individuals, which amounted to an expense of 1.4 million points.

This was the 1619 Book Bar version, and the victims, while not entirely satisfied, could accept it, eagerly awaiting their first compensation.

However, Northern Jiang soon released another statement after raising their hopes, stating that due to an unforeseen incident, they would postpone the compensation to customers.

This brief statement provided no explanation for the reason behind the delay.

The victims were outraged, and the Northern Jiang Vocational Cultivation Center was surrounded, demanding an explanation.

Despite the situation, Northern Jiang offered no reasons, only repeatedly pleading for more time and assuring that compensation would be provided.

The second-in-command, Master Zhou Kai, personally came forward to play the victim, even kneeling down and apologizing to a group of people who were not even professionals in the field.

With such a prominent figure going to such lengths, what could the customers and victims say? They could only grudgingly accept it.

Just as they were doing so, a rumor started to spread.

"Did you hear? Apparently, the reason Master Zhou Kai postponed our compensation is because that kid from Southern Jiang, Lu Wu, demanded compensation from Northern Jiang! He claims that Northern Jiang plagiarized his plan and profited from it, so he asked Master Zhou Kai for over 1.4 million points in compensation."

"Is this news real or fake?"

"Master Zhou Kai initially promised to compensate us, but then he canceled it and was even forced to kneel down and apologize. Do you think it's real or not?"

"Did Master Zhou Kai just give in to him like that?"

"His stepmother is the Governor of Southern Jiang; what else could Master Zhou Kai do?"

"Yes, yes, the Governor of Southern Jiang and Lu Wu.

This despicable person knew there was an issue with the breeding plan but kept quiet about it, and now, after causing us so much suffering, he dares to come and take our compensation?

This is unacceptable. We can't let him bully us; we must confront him!"

"Yes, let's go to him and demand an explanation!"

Master Zhou Kai's performance easily ignited the anger of those who were already furious, and their rage was now directed at Lu Wu.

On the same day, thousands of people rushed to Southern Jiang to seek an explanation from Lu Wu.

Among the leaders at the Vocational Center, seeing the effect of Master Zhou Kai's actions, they quickly surrounded him, showering him with praise.

"With this move, Northern Jiang has salvaged its reputation and easily dealt with those people outside. Master Zhou's strategy is truly brilliant."

"Master Zhou is indeed worthy of his title, far surpassing Lin Huai."

"Don't compare Lin Huai to our Master Zhou. He made such a big deal out of a small matter and even had Master Zhou clean up his mess. How can he be compared to our Master Zhou?"

These leaders were nothing more than sycophants.

However, some were more restrained and pragmatic.

"But, do we really have to give Lu Wu the 1.4 million points in compensation?"

When it came to points, the leaders fell silent and looked at Master Zhou Kai, who was prepared for this question.

"We must give it, but not necessarily in cash. Don't you remember that batch of Ironclad Oxen that Master Lin acquired?

I recall he spent over a million points on them, so let's just give Lu Wu those oxen at a discounted price of 1.4 million points!"

Upon hearing this, the leaders burst into laughter.

Master Lin did indeed spend two to three million points on that batch of oxen, but that didn't mean they were worth that much now.

When Master Lin acquired them, the Boneless Wild Pig Broth was all the rage, and the prices were artificially inflated. In reality, Master Lin had been overcharged.

However, he believed that with the Boneless Wild Pig Broth as a treasure, the oxen were like a gold mine, so he gritted his teeth and made the purchase.

But now, with Master Lin's downfall and the Boneless Wild Pig Broth losing its popularity, the value of the oxen had plummeted.

Master Lin had tried everything to sell them but to no avail. Now, with Northern Jiang in possession of the oxen, they were of little use.

Selling them was not an option, and they would have to build a farm to keep them, which would only incur more expenses. It was better to just give them to Lu Wu.

Did it matter if Lu Wu wanted them or not?

Northern Jiang had made the decision, and it was up to Lu Wu to accept or refuse. With Master Zhou Kai's order, Northern Jiang immediately sent the oxen to Lu Wu.

On Lu Wu's side, upon hearing this news, he was stunned.

"What's going on? They're sending me a herd of Ironclad Oxen? Is Northern Jiang being this generous?

Didn't I not tell them about the Boneless Wild Pig Broth plan? Do I have a solution to this issue?"

Lu Wu thought carefully, then smiled, "Well, I didn't say anything, but I should still thank Northern Jiang for their kind gesture.

Yes, every one of them is indeed a good friend."
