At the beginning, I want to quit the arena

Chapter 140 A Desperate Choice
Just at nine o'clock in the morning, the ashtray on Li Shuming's desk was already full of cigarette butts.

At this time, he was holding a cigarette, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on a TV set specially moved by his assistant. At this time, the petition of thousands of people outside the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion was being broadcast in real time on the TV set.

In the past, it seemed that they were constantly busy, and there were always a few assistants who had to deal with various affairs. At this moment, as if they were struck by lightning, they stood or sat in the office in a daze, like wood carvings and clay sculptures.

Although there are so many people, there is no sound in the office, only the sound of news from the TV:

"According to the current statistics given by the police, the number of petitioners outside Hong Kong Governor's Mansion has exceeded [-]. Can the Government condemn the previous fundraising campaign initiated by the Hong Kong Claims Society..."

"Boom~" The door of the office was pushed open from the outside, including Li Shuming, everyone in the room followed the prestige.

Yan Sen walked in from the outside, holding a dozen copies of today's newspaper.

Li Shuming crushed out the cigarette in his hand, looked at Yan Sen who had just come back from running around last night: "Albert, you..."

"What are you going to do before I come back?" Yan Sen put the newspaper on Li Shuming's desk.

"Hold a press conference to defend yourself. Those who are cleared will clear themselves. It is Zhang Zhenlang's association..." Li Shuming said, his tone is still calm. In his opinion, even if the association's fundraising is revealed, it is only the people of Zhang Zhenlang from the Xiangjiang Claims Association. He is greedy for money, he has no financial relationship with the other party, and has always claimed that he is obliged to provide legal consulting services for the association.

Yan Sen shook his head slightly, because he hadn't slept all night, and his face was somewhat tired that could not be concealed:
"Now is not the time to defend yourself. The trend is still expanding. If you don't subdue it quickly, even if you want to clear your innocence, you will be implicated."

Li Shuming took out another cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it: "Then what do you think should be done?"

"Take the money out, go to the Governor's Mansion now, use the presence of all the media and petitioners, and speak out quickly, one means that you didn't collect the money, but you can donate money to those petitioners, and you have to defend the association, saying Although no fees have been collected, it is possible that the president of the association and others listed some costs of production and expenses for going to Japan separately and chose to be borne by the association, but in reality there is no need for such things." Yan Sen poured himself a glass of water and drank it side said.

Li Shuming's eyes lit up: "Before it's fully fermented, admit the minor fault, protect yourself wisely, in exchange for understanding, and direct the anger towards Zhang Zhenlang."

Yan Sen gulped down the water, and nodded to Li Shuming in response.

Li Shuming exhaled, he had seven assistants around him, the other six could be dismissed at any time, only Yan Sen was his right-hand man.

Last night, a friend from the newspaper industry called. He faltered in his words and only said to let himself pay attention to today's news. As soon as he finished speaking to Yan Sen, Yan Sen got up and went out to understand the situation. He just came back now.

And there is no need to deliberately learn about the situation from your own mouth, speaking means you have already understood the current situation, and give yourself the best solution at the moment.

"Those petitioners are all victims of the war, but they are poor people like pigs and dogs. Besides us, there are members of the association such as Zhang Zhenlang. We first take out the money to show them favor, and guide them to transfer their anger to Zhang Zhenlang and others. Yan Sen finished drinking the water and said to Li Shuming:

"I have been to the Governor's Office of Hong Kong, and I learned from a few words that it should be that the Xiangjiang Military Ticket Claims Association charged 200 Hong Kong dollars to each member, saying that it was used to hire a lawyer to help with the lawsuit."

Li Shuming listened quietly: "There are more than 300 members in that association, two hundred for each, three million is enough."

He settled down, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed the accountant of his law firm: "Prepare 300 million cash for me today, and send it to my congressman's office, that's it."

Then he walked to the hanger and took off his suit jacket.

Seeing that Li Shuming had listened to his opinion, Yan Sen relaxed a little. He took out the bottle of American ginseng lozenges from his pocket, poured out two tablets and threw them into his mouth.

"Why did Zhang Zhenlang do this?" Li Shuming continued to speak while arranging his clothes.

Yan Sen first walked to the conference table, knocked on the table, looked at several assistants, and showed a smiling face:
"Martin will go to the Governor's Mansion next, prepare the vehicle, arrange familiar reporters to help him ease the scene, contact security, and then help him consider some details that need to be paid attention to. Don't be nervous, and carry out your work normally."

Only then did the assistants come to their senses, and they quickly got up and left, rushing to help Li Shuming prepare various matters for departure to Hong Kong Governor's Mansion.

When only the two of us were left in the office, Yan Sen said, "It doesn't matter why Zhang Zhenlang did this. He has already done so, so we just have to see what happens."

Li Shuming's face was a little gloomy. Zhang Zhenlang, the chairman of the Mong Kok District Council, was Li Shuming's junior, and he was considered a good friend, but Li Shuming never expected that Zhang Zhenlang would put himself on the same side!
"The biggest possibility is that they want to use the scandal to force you to resign as a member of the Legislative Council, and then the British let him take your place." Yan Sen bit the ginseng slice and said to Li Shuming:
"However, as long as we rush over now and focus on customers, Zhang Zhenlang's end will be very miserable. There is no need to think about the position of a member of the Legislative Council, and even the position of district speaker will definitely not be able to sit."

"Of course I can't let him continue to live in peace." Li Shuming straightened his tie and said darkly.

Yan Sen walked towards the door, opened the door, and said to Li Shuming who had finished dressing:
"Go outside the Governor's Mansion now, and show your attitude through the reporters and petitioners who are trying to bite us. Otherwise, when the other party really starts a storm, although Zhang Zhenlang bears the brunt of it, you will definitely be caught up and it will be difficult to get out. And I'm afraid that when the time comes, if we want to speak out, neither the British nor Sheng Jiale will give us a chance."

Li Shuming and Yan Sen walked out of his office side by side, and said as they walked, "Albert, you are the best template for a chief of staff."

……

Peng Yulou squeezed his chin and looked at Yan Sen and Li Shuming who appeared on the TV and were speaking to the petitioners outside the Governor's Mansion.

At this time, Li Shuming was clasping his hands together to express his attitude to the petitioners, emphasizing that he did not charge any consulting fees, nor asked everyone to raise fees. He was completely voluntary as a lawyer of the association. Considering the expense of going to Japan to sue travel expenses and the like, the management did not mention it to him, and conducted fundraising without authorization.

"Yan Sen is really powerful." Peng Yulou said from the bottom of his heart, "Boss, the direction is exactly as you expected."

"It was because of his first move that I was so frightened that I cut off my tail to survive, and then I almost made a wrong move. Now I return this move to him. It was said in the TV series that the Murong family's unique skills have changed forever." Sheng Jiale looked at him in front of him. chessboard, said in his mouth: "I have recently become proficient in various peerless martial arts."

"All kinds? Then what else is there besides the star shift?" Sitting opposite him, Zhang Zhenlang, the chairman of the Mong Kok District Council, who was playing chess with Sheng Jiale and British checkers, asked with a smile.

Sheng Jiale was taken aback for a moment, perhaps he did not expect Zhang Zhenlang to ask such a joking question.

"Dragon Breaking Dafa! Have you heard of it?" Sheng Jiale also said with a smile.

Zhang Zhenlang repeated these four words, then shook his head: "Maybe I read very few martial arts novels and movies, so I don't know much about this set of martial arts."

He looked at Peng Yulou again, and even Ou Haokun, who was carefully helping the two referees with his arms folded beside him, both shook their heads.

Zhang Zhenlang turned his head to look at Liang Chen Zhiyi, Deng Shitong, Guo Wenda, Wang Yuanqing, Zhu Fusheng and his assistant who were standing in front of the conference table in the distance: "Which novel and master used the Dragon Breaking Dafa?"

Everyone expressed that they were not clear.

"You don't need to ask, Chairman Zhang, I just babbled nonsense, Dragon Breaking Dafa, as the name suggests, breaks the opponent's dragon veins, and the method of performing it is to find out the location of the opponent's ancestral grave, and go quietly to dig the opponent's ancestral grave in the middle of the night." Sheng Jiale said with a smile.

"Hu Yi's names are all good, quite prestigious." Zhang Zhenlang laughed when he heard Sheng Jiale's explanation, and then continued the previous topic: "It can make Li Shuming abandon many more trusted juniors in the law school and become his first confidant. If Yan Sen didn't have some real materials, how could he secure the position of Li Shuming's Chief of Staff?"

While playing chess, he said to Ou Haokun next to him: "Sir Ou, everyone has seen that Li Shuming is now slandering me in front of everyone. I have sacrificed so much. If he is forced to resign, the vacant position will be..."

"As long as your boss doesn't want to imitate Li Shuming and cause scandals, the vacated seat of parliamentarians will most likely consider him. Both he and you should know that Tian Bo's influence in the legal constituency of the Hong Kong Legislative Council has no problem in fulfilling this promise. "

After receiving Au Haokun's response, Zhang Zhenlang laughed: "Of course I believe in Tianbo's influence, Mario, Audrey told me that you are a master of chess and Go, that's why I choose British checkers here, be careful, jump and eat, Jumping in succession, losing two chess pieces at once is very bad for you."

While talking and laughing, Zhang Zhenlang easily took two pieces of Sheng Jiale's chess pieces.

Sheng Jiale stared at his own white chess piece engraved with the head of White Queen Elizabeth on the chessboard, as if he didn't care about gains and losses at all, but said:
"Indeed, this is the first time I have come into contact with this kind of game."

After the two of them took a few more steps, Zhang Zhenlang said to Sheng Jiale: "Be careful, my chess piece has bottomed out and turned into a king. Now I can retreat."

"There's no need to retreat." Sheng Jiale took a look at Zhang Zhenlang, and then picked up his chess piece: "Jump to eat, jump continuously, eat three times."

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Zhenlang's previous advantage was broken by Sheng Jiale, and at the same time, Sheng Jiale's white chess pieces had completed the encirclement, Zhang Zhenlang hesitated and thought, and took another step.

"game over."

Sheng Jiale calmly took Zhang Zhenlang's other black pieces, leaving only the lonely king who was blocked and unable to move.

"Mr. Sheng won." Ou Haokun looked at the result on the chessboard and announced fairly.

Zhang Zhenlang looked at the chessboard unwillingly, and asked Sheng Jiale: "Is this really the first time I'm learning?"

"It's the first time." Sheng Jiale said with a smile, "You won't leave the field until you eat all your opponents. The rules of the game are very interesting. Compared with chess, Go is simpler and rougher."

"For the first time, you beat the amateur player who has been playing for three years." Zhang Zhenlang said with a smile.

"No, it's actually because it's somewhat similar to a Chinese game called backgammon. They pay attention to every slash. After understanding the rules, you will find that it is too simple compared with chess and Go." Zhang Zhenlang said: "Of course, Speaker Zhang deliberately let me understand the rules. He didn't specifically target me in the early stage, so I was lucky enough to win."

Zhang Zhenlang looked at the TV: "Li Shuming, it seems that he has said almost everything he wanted to say, and he has already agreed to refund the association for the association. He is really a kind person, and he never forgets to gather people's attention at this time."

He stood up slowly, and his assistant came over to help him with his coat. Zhang Zhenlang looked at Liang Chen Zhiyi, Deng Shitong, Zhu Fusheng, Guo Wenda, Wang Yuanqing and other key members of the Xiangjiang Army Ticket Compensation Association in front of the conference table:
"Since he has promised to help the association refund the money, then it's fine. Bring the materials we prepared earlier, and we will confront him face-to-face."

Hearing Zhang Zhenlang speak, everyone at the conference table got up and followed Zhang Zhenlang to leave Tianbo Law Firm and rush to the outside of the Governor's Mansion.

Sheng Jiale and Au Haokun got up and shook hands with each other to say goodbye, Zhang Zhenlang smiled: "Thank you Mario for providing the opportunity."

"I want to thank Chairman Zhang for his righteous words on behalf of those victims." Sheng Jiale said.

After Zhang Zhenlang left Tianbo with a group of vice presidents of the claims association, Ou Haokun sat packing the chess pieces and said to Sheng Jiale:
"Mr. Sheng? Li Shuming is not completely killed now. Even if Zhang Zhenlang and the others rush to confront each other, but Li Shuming is a lawyer and is better at catching the loopholes in words than them, so will there be some variables?"

Sheng Jiale smiled at Ou Haokun, lit a cigarette, and then looked at Peng Yulou:
"Li Shaokun has been kidnapped for so long, shouldn't it be time to call his home?"

Peng Yulou nodded beside him: "Of course."

After receiving Peng Yulou's affirmative reply, Sheng Jiale said to Ou Haokun:

"He is bleeding heavily today, and it is very wise to use money to transfer the hatred and anger of the petitioners. However, if a reporter accidentally gets Li Shaokun's phone recording, tomorrow's newspapers and TV stations will break out the phone recording, and it will be reported that Yan Sen Li Shuming What about the news that Li Shaokun received banknotes?"

"Does Li Shaokun have any definite news about his involvement in gangsters? As far as I know, it's just that some foreign income has poured into his factory, but it is impossible to determine the specific source of those income. Although you and I both know that it is underground lottery income, But in the court, we need to talk about evidence, even if it is superficial evidence." Ou Haokun said calmly as he threw the chess pieces into the box one by one.

"The news will come out little by little, but for Mr. Jazz, I can reveal some news about tomorrow." Sheng Jiale said to Ou Haokun: "Tomorrow, the banknotes of Li Shuming and Yan Sen will suddenly become dirty money, and then If you want to solve the problem by spending money, it depends on whether anyone dares to accept it."

"Good, if you don't spend money, you will lose your reputation." Ou Haokun clapped his hands lightly: "If you spend money, you will never recover. It is really a desperate multiple-choice question."
