Fang Pingying's guess was incredibly accurate; after Luo Zhiming received the two thousand yuan from his boss, the first thing he indeed planned to do was to seek out Xu He.
For Luo Zhiming, two thousand yuan was not a small sum. He had never seen so much money in his life and would have to work for several years to earn it.
He initially asked for fifty thousand, but the boss didn't even entertain him, nor did he argue. He just mentioned this amount outright.
Furthermore, it was made very clear to him that the reason he was willing to give this amount was first, to avoid hassle—as in paying him off to go away—and second, out of respect for his older brother. If Luo Zhiming were to ask for more, they would resolve the issue legally.
When it came to legal matters, Luo Zhiming chickened out. He knew nothing about it, and he had heard that lawsuits could be very costly. He had no money for such expenses.
