264 Official Business
Shan Yue paused for a moment, then smiled again. “Besides, this piece of land of my Shan Corporation was given to me by Uncle Dong. Just based on these, how can I have the idea of taking the Dong Corporation for myself? That would be too unprincipled. As for the relationship with President Zhou, I believe no businessman in Federal City would want to be enemies with President Zhou. I still know which to choose between a moment of development and long-term progress in the future. Moreover, if I wanted to get the Zhou Corporation, I wouldn’t have helped you win the Las Vegas project back then.”
“Speaking of the Las Vegas project,” Zhou Xuan said as he turned on his computer and looked at the email Mu Wei had just sent him. “In the past half a month, the project has been completed and officially opened for business. The first batch of merchants have entered the shop, and with many local people booking rooms at the top, the turnover has reached nearly ten billion in a short period of time. According to the 20% shares you hold, I’ll get He Sheng to transfer the two billion yuan to your account.”
“You actually thought of me when you were dividing the money. Working with President Zhou is indeed reassuring. Then I’ll thank President Zhou in advance.”
Zhou Xuan smiled. “It’s nothing. You deserve this. I just did what I should have done. Since we’re partners, we should have some credibility.”
After a few short sentences, Zhou Xuan finally figured out the doubts in his heart. After hanging up, he quickly called He Sheng over. “Go and investigate in private if there’s any large money transaction between the other three shareholders of the Tang Corporation and Tang Li. Tell me immediately if you find any traces.”
“Understood, President Zhou. I’ll go now.”
The busy life passed exceptionally quickly. Just as both sides were making sufficient preparations for the lawsuit, the court announced that a public hearing would be held in three days. The announcement of this news also made the atmosphere in the Federal City suddenly solemn. A dark cloud seemed to have already covered the sky above the city.
The implications of this matter were very wide, affecting the stock prices and reputation of both sides. In just a few days, it had already clearly caused the economy of the Federation’s Central City to decline.
At this moment, Governor Liu Ze also stepped forward to mediate between the two sides. Unfortunately, both sides were people with personalities and insisted on continuing the lawsuit. In the end, the reconciliation ended on bad terms.
Just two days before the trial, Shan Yue, Xi Feng, and Cheng Yue gathered together in private. Cheng Yue, who had seen Xi Feng in person up close, clearly reacted excitedly.
Cheng Yue turned to Shan Yue with a glint in his eyes. “President Shan, the last time you promised to let me preside over a lawsuit against Lawyer Xi Feng, my first reaction was to think that you were joking. I didn’t expect that in just half a month, what you said would actually come true. I heard from others that Lawyer Xi Feng solves cases overseas for hundreds of millions of yuan. How did you invite him?”
“Isn’t that easy?” Shan Yue glanced sideways at Xi Feng, but of course, she couldn’t say that she had known Xi Feng for a long time. Hence, she thought of an excuse. “Isn’t my lawsuit with Tang Corporation already involving hundreds of millions of assets? As long as I pay enough lawyer fees, Lawyer Xi will naturally help me.”
Before Cheng Yue could continue answering Shan Yue, Xi Feng interrupted their conversation.
“I think it’s a little rude for the two of you to discuss why I want to take over this lawsuit in front of me, right?” Xi Feng put on a serious expression and maintained his image in the hearts of outsiders. “I indeed only take on big cases, but this matter has already entered the scope of what I can take over. Isn’t it only right for President Shan to pay me to do things? There’s no need for the two of you to be so curious.”
“That makes sense.” Shan Yue did not waste any more time and quickly started the next topic. “Then let’s sort out this case one last time. The court session is in two days. Although we have enough evidence, we can’t be careless.”
While the three of them were discussing, Tang Xia naturally could not stay idle. The father and daughter, together with their lawyer and assistant, were in Tang Xia’s study.
