The meeting between Zhou Wenbin and Zeng Hongwen was not pleasant. He had always thought businessmen were driven solely by profit, but he hadn't anticipated how much Zeng Hongwen valued money.
Although Shi Zhiwei and his wife hadn't specified an exact compensation amount, based on Zhou Wenbin's experience with handling similar disputes, he first needed to prepare for the worst. Since the medical aesthetics center is a contracted department and relatively unique in nature, Changxing Hospital couldn't be held liable for compensation. He first tried to gauge Zeng Hongwen's bottom line.
At first, Zeng Hongwen indicated she would fully cooperate in resolving the matter. However, the most she could accept was refunding Tong Meili's surgery and treatment fees. She believed she had made the biggest concession, considering this incident was not at all the surgical accident claimed by Tong Meili.
