11pm
In a high-end restaurant and bar located on the upper floor, Chen Qiao was quietly waiting for Locke to come over. He had no choice but to turn to Locke for help with this matter. After all, his relationship with Locke was not bad.
Every time there was some conflict between the business department and the businessmen, it was Locke who acted as the peacemaker afterwards. Secretly, the business department and the businessmen also reached many well-understood agreements.
Over the years, many problems between the two sides have been solved subtly through Locke. Under Locke's mediation, the two sides could only take a step back after reaching a tacit understanding. The delicate balance that this city has maintained over the years is due to Locke.
Point made.
So this time the only person Chen Qiao could rely on was Locke, and Locke promised to come over when the General Affairs Department was finished.
Chen Qiao is still waiting anxiously. He has no way of knowing what his grandson's condition is now. There is no news, and no one dares to tell Chen Qiao about the situation in the Public Security Management Office. Chen Qiao has already dragged many people to inquire. It's a pity.
It is still difficult to answer so far.
This incident has indeed had a relatively large impact on the city, but many media have stopped reporting on it. Chen Qiao has already said hello to several bosses in the press. The matter will calm down soon and will never evolve again.
becomes a big problem.
Chen Qiao believes that as long as the matter is over, everything will be calm. As long as the negotiation is resolved slowly, even if Sun Tzu is really sentenced, it will only take a few years to be released. And as long as the compensation is in place, this kind of case should not be possible.
The problem is, after the lawyers understood the whole process, they realized that the conflict between the two parties led to this result, and it was the man who was beaten who started the attack.
"It's almost 12 o'clock, Lao Chen."
Zou Yun muttered, Chen Qiao nodded, and he looked outside anxiously. The dining bar was very quiet, there was no one there, and a lot of waiters were standing at the door. Chen Qiao had already reserved the dining bar.
.
Time passed by minute by second, and it was exactly 0:40 that Locke walked in wearing a big trench coat, and Chen Qiao immediately ordered people to serve the food.
After Locke sat down, Chen Qiao immediately signaled the bodyguards to leave and let them bring in the food later.
"Master Manager, I'm really sorry that it's so late."
"Hey, Chen Qiao, how did your bodyguards do this? A few years ago, your grandson was fighting with people on the street. Although the situation was different from now, Niya didn't know about it at that time.
He came to question me only after he found out afterwards, and I have already helped where I can. This time, I was caught directly by Niya, so I was a little embarrassed."
Chen Qiao stood up with the wine bottle and poured Locke a glass.
"It's not that Xiao Kai should be exempted from guilt. It's just something that Section 5 reported to the Law Office after the arrest. If these crimes are found guilty, it will be troublesome. After all, I have warned them. In the past few years,
Xiaokai has become much more low-key."
"Low-key?"
Locke sighed, took a sip and said.
"If he kept a low profile, he wouldn't have dared to find those gangs at the bottom and go directly to Gene's house. I told Gene a lot about this at the time, so it didn't make a big fuss."
Chen Qiao nodded and said.
"After that incident, I asked him to reflect at home. He didn't come out until a few days ago. It's just that he really didn't teach Xiaokai well. Now the whole family is very anxious. My son and daughter are already anxiously looking for help.
, I also asked them to go home first. I just ask you to help convey that as long as there is anything our Chen family can do, we are willing to do it. We only hope that Section 5 can remove intentional homicide and turn it into a conflict when convicting.
"
Locke Jiahui understood what Chen Qiao meant. Over the years, Chen Qiao was indeed very talkative. Locke had secretly reconciled some differences with the business department, but now this matter was really difficult for him. He was very worried.
I know that once I go to Niya, the more I talk to a guy with a bad temper, the more rebellious she becomes.
Locke also directly explained the problem, and Chen Qiao looked embarrassed.
"Why don't you go talk to that little girl and we can unconditionally invest in the construction of the agricultural base in the barrier zone."
Locke hesitated. It is true that only the Angus family and the Phoebes family, including the Su family, have a small investment. If more businessmen cannot participate in this huge bill, the progress will not be accelerated, but this is
There is nothing you can do for a while.
"I can only help you talk to him after a while, and wait until Niya's anger subsides."
Locke put down his wine glass. At this time, the food was served. He had been hungry for a long time. Zou Yun was holding the wine glass and the three of them started chatting and laughing. However, within a few minutes of eating, he got a call. It was Michelle.
The caller said there was an emergency in the General Affairs Department and asked him to go back immediately.
Locke had no choice but to take a few bites quickly, then drank some wine and left the restaurant. A few minutes later, Locke returned to the General Affairs Department. As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he saw Michelle waiting for him.
"What's wrong? Are you so anxious?"
"Where have you been?"
Locke smiled and scratched his head and said.
"Didn't I tell you before that we were friends we hadn't seen for a long time? We had a drink together. We originally planned to hang out for a while tonight. What happened?"
"Is it Chen Qiao and the others?"
Michelle Locke's sharp gaze made Locke look a little embarrassed. At this time, Locke said hurriedly.
"It's not what you think."
"Fat man, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise I'll ask someone over right now to ask."
Locke was embarrassed, then Michelle pointed at Capitol Hill, and the two started walking.
"When you're full, go for a walk up there."
The two of them walked up the stairs, and Locke could only tell the truth. Michelle naturally knew how Locke had been working behind the scenes to reconcile the relationships between businessmen, congressmen, and executives over the years, because he had many old acquaintances among the three parties.
Many things were indeed well coordinated, and there were no secret bribe-taking transactions. Instead, several parties were able to reach a consensus.
"What exactly did Chen Qiao say?"
Michelle asked. Locke thought for a while and wanted to tell Michelle.
"There can be no reconciliation in this matter. Sir, I hope you can understand."
Locke was naturally very clear about it, but he had already agreed to Chen Qiao.
"Although they are very arrogant and think that money can solve everything, they have still made some contributions to the entire city, and the Chen family has also worked hard to help in many previous problems."
"Don't praise those things. Even if this city lacks them, it can still function."
Michelle said, Locke sighed.
"I'll have a final talk with Niya in a few days. If we can't talk, there's nothing we can do."
Michelle nodded.
"If such a breakthrough is opened this time, the opportunity that we have waited so hard for may be wasted, so I don't think Section Chief Niya will agree to anything. She will use the most severe charges to characterize this case."
Locke swallowed, and the two came to the Capitol Square. Michelle looked down at the city below. The city was completely different now. The lights on the periphery were extremely bright, which was in sharp contrast with the middle and upper classes, and the people at the bottom were
The lights have been connected together, and lively scenes can be seen everywhere.
"This scene is very beautiful, isn't it?"
Locke murmured, and Michelle snorted. The city's problems have now reached a major turning point. As long as they are handled well, the city will have a bright and infinite future. Now everyone has realized that, regardless of whether they are in the business department
People are still councilors and even some businessmen. However, in Michelle's opinion, some businessmen like Chen Qiao and others still come to see the changing city with arrogance.
Many businessmen may even think that the city is still the same as before. In any case, the excitement at the bottom is just as temporary as before. But what they don't know is that this huge force is rolling up everything, making the entire city's solidified class directly
Cracked.
What surprises Michelle the most now is the Barrier Zone. Originally this powder keg that was completely opposed to the city and was very likely to explode due to fanning the flames by rioters in the city has now been fully invested in the construction of the city, and they
Many people are full of hope.
Over the years, people from the barrier areas have hardly caused any problems when they entered the city. Although there were some, these problems were initiated by people in the city.
"When can they let go of their arrogance, this city will have a real dawn."
"I hope so."
1 am
Le Xiao, who had been tired all day, returned home and saw Jamie watching TV and still energetic.
"How's the situation?"
Le Xiao looked around to see if Jean was still not back, she asked.
"Has Gene been back in the past two days?"
Jamie said with a smile.
