Because he was meeting someone at night, Yu Zhou also called Wu Dabiao and Qin Feng.
After all, Song Qing was the main person in charge, and even though their relationship was pretty good, he still had to call others late at night for Jiang Jie's peace of mind.
In fact, if Song Qing were to meet him, it would be more appropriate for Jiang Jie to accompany him.
It's just a pity that the main reason for this meeting was to confront members of the Su family, and Yu Zhou would never involve his family members, so he could only call others to go with him.
The place they agreed to meet was a relatively high-end private club.
Su Tongchuan, who had been extremely arrogant at Yu Zhou's place in the afternoon, did not appear. A woman showed up instead.
The woman looked to be around thirty years old. She did not have Su Tongchuan's arrogance, but the look in her eyes, the way it flickered, still conveyed that she and Yu Zhou were not on the same level.
Yu Zhou was not surprised by this gaze at all.
If she had been very enthusiastic from the start, even treating him as if he were not an outsider, then it would have been enough to make him wary.
For Yu Zhou, whether Su Tongchuan was punished or not was not that important.
What mattered was what attitude the Su family would have towards him in the future and how they would resolve this matter.
Even though Su Tongchuan had appeared condescending and completely looked down on him in front of him.
Yu Zhou also knew very well that Su Tongchuan's status in the Su family was not very high. If things really became untenable, the Su family would undoubtedly abandon this peripheral member of the direct line without hesitation.
"Old Yu! Hurry up, let me introduce you."
Song Qing didn't really want to play the matchmaker, but she owed a favor to this person from the Su family. Otherwise, given her status, she wouldn't even consider mediating.
Now that this favor was used up, she was no longer willing to influence how Yu Zhou would decide next or what compromises the Su family would make.
"This is Miss Su, Su Muyun. She was my university classmate back in the day."
"The Su family already knows about her cousin's situation, so they want to talk to you!"
She started the introduction right away. As expected, this woman was probably a truly powerful and influential figure in the Su family.
If this matter hadn't escalated so much, and if Su Tongchuan hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately informed the elders of the family, the entire Su family might still have believed that Su Tongchuan could completely control Yu Zhou.
After all, even if everyone knew Yu Zhou had connections, no one would believe that his connections would go all out to help him with anything.
In normal business competition, the Su family had used their power to suppress others countless times over the years, and they had never failed.
Did having some background mean you could avoid trouble?
I'm sorry, but no. In fact, the fiercer your resistance, the more they might think this industry was more valuable and be even more determined to acquire it.
Was this considered robbery? In a sense, it was.
However, as long as everyone stayed within the rules, even robbery was acceptable. In such a situation, unless Yu Zhou pushed things to the extreme, any anger could still be eased.
"We apologize to Mr. Yu for the trouble caused by our cousin. I only found out about this today."
"If we had known earlier that Mr. Yu was friends with our President Song, we would have sat down with you to discuss it and wouldn't have let things get to this point."
"This is a loss for both you and us."
Su Muyun's words were very formal, but they also showed sincerity in resolving the matter.
Did they truly not know about his cooperative relationship with Song Qing before?
Impossible. If they didn't know, where would they have found Song Qing as an intermediary?
But even if they knew, they would still compete when necessary, and the methods they used might not have been honorable.
However, some things could be said openly, while others could not.
Therefore, even though Wu Dabiao was already getting displeased and his face was flushed, Yu Zhou remained unfazed.
After sitting down, Yu Zhou first offered some pleasantries to them.
After all, with Song Qing present, even if Yu Zhou didn't give the Su family face, he had to give Song Qing face.
Sometimes, people had to maintain these relationships.
Up to this point, his relationship with Song Qing was no longer just one of cooperation. It wouldn't be considered something that couldn't be said that they were friends in private.
Therefore, Yu Zhou did not reveal his sharp edges at this moment but rather played the part of maintaining the situation.
"I also hope it was a misunderstanding. No factory or company wants to deal with the Su family in Jiangbei."
"However, after defending passively for so long, we finally saw hope of saving the factory, so our actions naturally became a bit more aggressive."
"I also hope Miss Su can understand, as no one wants to lose their livelihood."
Yu Zhou spoke politely, but his tone also carried a hint of undeniable authority.
After all, what the Su family wanted was just the factory, but once the factory was handed over to them, his livelihood would be gone.
This was not something Yu Zhou could tolerate. Even if they were to reconcile, this bottom line would not change.
"If our family members have done wrong, then we will naturally accept the punishment."
"No one covets your own industry, so you can rest assured about that."
"I came here today only to discuss another matter. I hope Mr. Yu can be lenient. Su Tongchuan is, after all, a member of the Su family. It's best not to sue him!"
"Let's resolve our private matters privately!"
Su Muyun's main purpose in coming here was to express this attitude. Even if Su Tongchuan was useless, sending him to prison or even depriving him of his freedom would be a humiliation to the Su family.
Su Muyun actually disliked her cousin a lot, and even wished she could send him to prison with her own hands. However, even for the sake of the family, she couldn't do that.
Therefore, she could only come here to seek a truce.
Of course, in her eyes, this was not bowing her head, but seeking a truce.
If Yu Zhou didn't even give this much face, then there would be nothing more to say.
