The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Chapter 2401 Burning the bridge across the river

Zhao Shucheng did not stay in Suzhou after knowing that Ju Wei would come to inspect in person. As for whether they would reach a cooperation without his knowledge, so that he would not be able to earn the agency fee, Zhao Shucheng was not worried at all.

After all, even if he really did that, it would only be a few thousand yuan, which was nothing to Zhao Shucheng. Moreover, Zhao Shucheng helped this time just to get closer to Ju Wei, so the money was not the point.

Ju Wei didn't think so. She felt that it was a bit of a waste of talent for Zhao Shucheng to personally help her find a chef. She also felt that Zhao Shucheng had ulterior motives. It was a pity that she only had her childhood sweetheart in her heart, otherwise she would definitely be moved and agree to be with him.

Lin Bai received a call from Zheng Qiudong, and when he heard that he chose to give up, he felt relieved.

However, when he told Yuan Kun the news, Yuan Kun was very unhappy.

"You're kidding. He's getting high salaries from both sides. Now that he should be doing something, he's just rubbing his hands. He's dishonest. The immigration company pays him 10,000 yuan a month."

Lin Bai said: "When I interviewed him, I didn't mention any undercover mission."

"Hey, Lin Bai, he took such an inexplicable amount of money, but he didn't even think about where it came from or who gave it to him. Why is he pretending to be so high and mighty? A man with a bad record keeps talking about conscience, soul, and character. This is simply ridiculous to the extreme."

Lin Bai heard Yuan Kun's endless complaints, but he disagreed in his heart and said, "I think he didn't do what he thought shouldn't be done. That's right. We are used to doing things we shouldn't do and saying things we don't mean. That's our business. It's better not to attack him."

"The choice is his. He's great. He's made so many mistakes, lost all his property and reputation, and left Beijing with nothing. He's living in poverty now, but he can still express his attitude. I support him. If he ruined other people's plans, then the fault is mine. I shouldn't have recommended him in the first place, but found someone who was greedy for money. He's not wrong!"

Seeing that Lin Bai was upset, Yuan Kun quickly said, "Hey, Lin Bai, I trust you, don't misunderstand me."

Lin Bai said: "Everyone calm down and try not to say anything you will regret tomorrow." We trust each other, there is no doubt about it.

Yuan Kun looked at Lin Bai's back, swung the golf club hard, and hit the ball out.

Zhong Huailan came to visit Luo Yiren again and brought her two books, hoping that it would help her pass the time and not think too much.

When Luo Yiren saw Zhong Huailan, she smiled and said, "You're here!"

“Are these the two books?”

"Yes, it's them. Did the media report it?"

Zhong Huailan nodded and said, "Yes, it was reported. It was very simple, less than a hundred words. But it has been circulated in various ways on Weibo and WeChat."

"Did anyone mention me?" Luo Yiren looked up at the other person and asked.

"It would be a shame to have no beautiful young woman in a corruption case involving senior executives. You are at the center of the storm, and I guess even the network administrator can't block your name."

Luo Yiren had actually anticipated this, and said, "The media is in a frenzy, and suddenly I thought of a lot of women in the news. Women are so dirty when they do this. Let's not talk about it. Have you been to the company?"

Zhong Huailan said, "I'm almost living there. I've been hanging around in your company. There may be some problems. The results are not as clear as you said."

Roy asked, "What's the problem?"

"For example, the land for the ruins park was obtained under the care of Xia Jiguo."

Luo Yiren said: "It wasn't me who took it, it was his brother-in-law."

"But you are the legal representative of the company."

"The contract was signed by his brother-in-law, and he used the company's name..."

Zhong Huailan interrupted Luo Yiren and said, "The money is in your company's account."

Luo Yiren said calmly, "I don't know where the money really came from. He said it was his joint investment to invest in the site impression project."

Zhong Huailan said, "But after the land was sold, there was a net profit of 160 million. You participated in the dividends and there is a record."

"Strictly speaking, they gave it to me, and then when his brother-in-law left the company, I returned it to him."

Zhong Huailan looked at Luo Yiren and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

"Of course, it's bank account."

"This is good news. Also, Mr. Qi from Fengxun Energy gave you a car worth more than two million yuan and entrusted you to mobilize Xia Jiguo to attend his daughter's wedding."

Luo Yiren said, "The owner of the car on the driving license is still Mr. Qi. The total number on the odometer is less than 2,000 kilometers. How can you say that he gave it to me? Xia Jiguo attended his daughter's wedding, and I was not the one who took the lead. I don't know who took the lead."

After hearing that Luo Yiren had cleared all suspicion, Zhong Huailan didn't know whether she should be happy for her best friend, so she said:

"You have built up such a big company under Xia Jiguo's protection. It is too difficult to get rid of it completely now."

Roy said: "You are my lawyer, you shouldn't say such things."

"I really hope you can get away with it."

"I know what I did, and I believe I can withstand the investigation. I know they put me here just to make me a witness."

After hearing this, Zhong Huailan looked at the people around her and said, "If this is really the case, then you should think about what you can prove."

Luo Yiren was silent for a while, then said, "Out of sight, out of mind. I stayed far away from any suspected criminal incidents and didn't witness any of them."

Zhong Huailan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If this is true, you will be able to get out soon, I promise."

Luo Yiren touched the book and said, "A lot of people outside are asking about my affairs, right?"

Zhong Huailan nodded and said, "A lot of people, in addition to those who are polite, curious, and afraid of being implicated, there are also those who truly care about you. I have been in this business for so many years and have met many true friends. You can tell at this moment."

Luo Yiren said: "Who do you think is a true friend?"

"Meng Zijing from Valley Business, whose company is currently listed in New York, is still in the United States. He called me yesterday and asked about your situation in detail. I asked him how he knew my phone number, and he said he asked sixteen people who knew you before he found out my phone number. Sixteen people, the lawyer's reputation is still not enough."

Seeing that Luo Yiren finally smiled, he said, "He said he would pay for the lawyer's fees, because Shan Gu was listed, and he is very grateful to you." "It's just polite words, is there anyone else?"

Zhong Huailan said, "A real friend? Who are you expecting? Zheng Qiudong or Zhao Shucheng? There is no news about Zheng Qiudong, but someone in Hangzhou called my law firm to inquire about you. I don't know if it was commissioned by Zheng Qiudong."

"What about Zhao Shucheng?"

Zhong Huailan shook her head and said, "There has been no action. He even took a plane to the Magic City a few days ago. There has been no news for a long time."

Luo Yiren fell silent after hearing this. She forced a smile and said, "We are just ordinary friends. We have only called each other a few times and met each other a few times, so it is understandable that we stay away from each other."

"But in your heart you expect him to pay attention to you, right? Of course, those who don't hide far away at this time are good, and those who dare to come closer are real people."

Luo Yiren knew that Meng Zijing of Valley Business had found Zhong Huailan and was willing to pay for her lawyer's fees because she had warned Valley in advance and saved him from huge losses. As for how much true love there was, she didn't believe it.

The only regret was that Zhao Shucheng didn't look for Zhong Huailan, nor did he ask about her situation. But she soon figured it out. After all, she and Zhao Shucheng had only met a few times and had a good chat. They were not even close friends, let alone any feelings. It was understandable that he avoided her.

Zhong Huailan didn't want Luo Yiren to be sad, so she said, "Okay, let's continue asking. How many personal bank accounts do you have?"

"Four!"

"Are they all real names?"

Roy said calmly: "Of course!"

When Zhong Huailan finished chatting with Luo Yiren and came out of the guesthouse, she saw someone standing next to her car, who seemed to be waiting for her.

She felt a little strange and a little wary. After all, she didn't know what the other party's purpose was. What if he had other intentions?

But when she came to the front of the car and saw the other person, she was a little surprised and said, "Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Lawyer Zhong, I didn't expect you to know me."

Zhong Huailan said, "Mr. Zhao is a well-known figure in Beijing now, so it's hard not to know him. Besides, our law firm was planning to cooperate with Mr. Zhao's Zhutian Headhunter. I have read your information."

Zhong Huailan turned around and looked at the guesthouse, saying, "I don't think it's a coincidence that Mr. Zhao appears here."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Of course, if I say it's a coincidence, Lawyer Zhong probably won't believe it. You're here to see Yiren. I want to know the specific situation and how long it will take for Yiren to come out."

"It's hard to say. We are still in the stage of assisting the investigation, but I think there will be good news soon."

Zhao Shucheng said: "That's good, I think the time is about right."

Zhong Huailan asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao, I want to know if you are following me, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that you are waiting for me here?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I'm not really following you. In fact, I knew Yiren was in this guesthouse a long time ago. It was just a coincidence today. I came to see the situation here. I didn't expect to see Lawyer Zhong appear here, so I wanted to understand the situation."

These words surprised Zhong Huailan. After all, she had thought that Zhao Shucheng didn't care about Luo Yiren before, and she even criticized Zhao Shucheng to Luo Yiren. She didn't expect that she would be slapped in the face now.

Meng Zijing from the valley said that he cared about Luo Yiren, but now he is still abroad and dare not come back. Instead, Zhao Shucheng, a stranger, appeared directly outside the guesthouse and has even been paying attention to her for a long time.

"Mr. Zhao, I want to know, if Yiren comes out, what are you going to do?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I haven't thought about this yet, but if Yiren doesn't mind, I hope she can come to my company to help me. After all, she is not deeply involved in Xia Jiguo's case, and her previous network of contacts is also very wide. For our headhunting company, she is a rare talent."

"That's it?"

Seeing Zhong Huailan's suspicious look, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "What else?"

"You have no other thoughts about Yiren?"

Zhao Shucheng said, "Of course, but she just went through something like this, and I don't want to take advantage of her, nor do I want her to regret it later. Instead, we should become working partners first, so that we can get to know each other better in the future. If it's a good fit, we can naturally develop further, and if it's not a good fit, it won't affect our relationship."

At the same time, Zheng Qiudong rejected the arrangement of Lin Bai and Yuan Kun, but he had no intention of continuing to work at Mediterranean Bank, so he directly submitted his resignation to Bi Yiji.

Bi Yiji was very curious why Zheng Qiudong chose to resign. After all, Zheng Qiudong's job was still very good, and the contract between them did not allow Zheng Qiudong to resign now.

However, when Bi Yiji saw the reason in Zheng Qiudong's resignation letter, he was shocked and asked directly for the specific reason.

Zheng Qiudong said that he was assigned to the company and thought it was a normal job at first, but he didn't expect the other party to have other intentions. He had been entangled with it, but now he has to leave to avoid the other party making further demands.

Bi Yijie tried to ask the person behind the scenes, but Zheng Qiudong refused to reveal it, saying that he did not want to be a person without credibility. Bi Yijie saw that Zheng Qiudong did not want to talk, so he did not continue to ask, but he still admired Zheng Qiudong's honesty.

Although Luo Yiren was detained in the guesthouse, he still submitted a letter of resignation to Zhongbao Media through Zhong Huailan and formally resigned from the position of chairman of Zhongbao Media.

In fact, she knew very well that even if she did not resign, China Security Media would not allow her to continue to hold this position. It would be better for her to resign voluntarily so as to save some face for both parties.

When Zhong Huailan saw Luo Yiren again, she wanted to apologize for what she had said about Zhao Shucheng before, but she hesitated when the words were on her lips.

She was very clear about Roy's current situation. Every word she said and every move she made was being monitored.

Although she really wanted to let Luo Yiren know that there were people out there who cared about her, she didn't want to involve Zhao Shucheng. After all, this might be Luo Yiren's only support after she got out.

Zhao Shucheng didn't really pay much attention to Zhong Huailan's actions. After all, her appearance outside the guesthouse was just a coincidence. He was on the phone with Ju Wei, who was very grateful to Zhao Shucheng for recommending chef Gu Shengnan, who had won high praise from customers of Mu Restaurant, and even helped Mu Xinhui develop a number of high-end customers.

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ju, if you really want to thank me, then next time I go to the Magic City, you have to treat me to a meal, and it has to be your chef Gu who cooks for me personally."

Ju Wei smiled and said, "Of course no problem. Our Chef Gu is also very grateful to you. We will definitely make a few signature dishes to thank you."
