After hearing Su Nuo's words, Yueqian shifted her sharp gaze from Du Ye to Su Nuo, her gaze filled with contempt. That gaze stopped on Su Nuo for about ten seconds before slowly lowering his head to look at the teacup in his hand.

Yue Qian finally said something, but it had nothing to do with this matter. "You are the captain of that civilian-born squad? It was precisely because of you that we, Xiao Yue, were heavily injured and almost lost our lives, weren't you?"

Su Nuo did not expect Yue Qian to suddenly mention this matter. Her heart skipped a beat, but she calmed down after seeing Du Ye's comforting gaze.

Su Nuo forced herself to calmly look at Yue Qian and said in a calm tone, "Yes, Captain Xiao was injured to save me that time. I have always felt sorry for Captain Xiao, but,"

Su Nuo calmed herself down for a moment before continuing, "But, we are here today to talk about the workers' strike and how to rescue Captain Xiao. Do you think we can talk about the matter you mentioned later?"

"Yes, we should talk about it in the future if we have the chance, but you think I should agree to the workers' demands on this matter, don't you?" Although Yue Qian was talking to Su Nuo, her eyes never left the cup in her hand, as if she was talking to the cup.

"Yes," Su Nuo replied calmly.

"People like you," Yue Qian slowly raised her head and looked down at Su Nuo, her tone filled with contempt, "can't understand the thoughts of people from aristocratic families. You only think about it from the perspective of a commoner like you. How can you understand our difficulties? I don't think you have a say in this matter, do you? "

Su Nuo could clearly feel the contempt of this person in front of her. However, Su Nuo had now displayed her courage. She knew that she could not yield to such an aristocratic family, nor show weakness. Only in this way would it be possible to obtain the benefits that the striking workers deserved.

Su Nuo raised her tone. His tone also became cold. '"Mrs. Xiao, I don't think so. Although I'm not from an aristocratic family, I believe that I have always acted fairly. I will never favor any side because of my own background. If what I just proposed makes you feel like this, I am willing to apologize to you, but I hope that you will consider my suggestion carefully."

Yue Qian did not respond to Su Nuo's words. She just looked at Su Nuo without saying a word, her eyes shining with arrogance.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao did not speak, Su Nuo only looked at herself and continued to say her thoughts, "My proposal just now really did not favor the workers. Perhaps it was because I did not express my thoughts clearly."

"Captain Du and Captain Zhen have already discussed it on the way. We can agree to half of their requirements as a condition for Xiao Yue's release. After Captain Xiao is released, we can talk to them about the rest."

"At that time, you can talk as much as you want, because Captain Xiao has already been released and his life is no longer in danger. On the contrary, if you insist on not compromising now, it is very likely that you will injure Captain Xiao. This is something we don't want to see, is it?"

After hearing Su Nuo's words, Yue Qian still looked at Su Nuo with contempt and did not give any reply. After Su Nuo finished speaking her thoughts, she did not intend to speak again.

Everyone remained silent again, and the scene became colder and colder.

'"Madam Xiao," Du Ye could only come out to make things right and let the conversation continue as much as possible. "Captain Su Nuo and I agree with what Captain Zhen said just now. Captain Zhen and I are from aristocratic families, but we will not favor aristocratic families because of this. We will deal with this matter on a case-by-case basis."

At this point, Du Ye deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, "Personally, I agree with Su Nuo. Of course, if you don't think that your son's worth is worth it to exchange for those requests, then I can also think of other plans."

Du Ye's last sentence was to deliberately provoke Yueqian's displeasure, because Du Ye felt that as long as she was angry, she would definitely reveal her thoughts.

As Du Ye had expected, Yue Qian immediately became excited as if she had been pierced into a vital point. She changed her calm expression just now, but she still tried her best to remain calm.

'"Mr. Du, please don't say that. What kind of person do you think of me, Yueqian? How can I not care about my son? Besides, he is the only heir of the Xiao Family, and his life is more precious than anything else."

"But that doesn't mean that I have to compromise with those people. More importantly, I feel that saving Xiao Yue from those workers without any injuries is your duty, not letting me negotiate with those people, don't you think?"

"Are you saying that we should send our team members to meet those workers head-on? In this way, there will be serious casualties on both sides, do you know?" Sitting at the side, Zhen Ni, who had been silent all this while, was very surprised. How could this Mrs. Xiao, who had always been famous for her charity, say such words?

Yue Qian, after the excitement just now, said, Now that calm had been restored, He said his opinion in an extremely cold tone, '"I didn't say that you should face those workers head-on. I just said that you should take responsibility and rescue my son, not talk to me about any conditions. No matter what, he is the captain of the Cooperative Team. If anything happens to him, it will damage the reputation of your Cooperative Team, right?"

"Then what do you think we can do to save Xiao Yue apart from clashing head-on with the workers and negotiating terms with them?" Su Nuo asked Yue Qian coldly, "If you have any better ideas or ideas than this, please tell us. We will definitely do as you say."

Su Nuo's words sounded very respectful. She used the word "you" in every sentence, but her words were filled with a sense of challenge, causing the conversation to instantly have a strong smell of gunpowder.

Yue Qian also felt Su Nuo's challenge to her. She knew clearly that she could not lose in this "conversation". Yue Qian's noble rationality would not allow him to lose, especially to Su Nuo, who was from a commoner background.

Yue Qian quickly thought about how to make the person in front of her admit defeat. Then he gave up on negotiating with the workers and went back to the coalition team with a dirty face. "What you said is very unreasonable. Captain Su, although Xiao Yue is my son, he was kidnapped as the team leader of the coalition team at that time. The person who should think of a way to save him should be you, not me."

"Even though I really want to send my son out immediately, I'm not the leader of your team. I don't have the right to instruct you on what to do. Otherwise, you should say that I'm taking over, right?" After she finished speaking, Yueqian glanced at Su Nuo arrogantly, and the corner of her mouth curled into a cold mockery.
