"Don't worry just yet!" A trace of panic flashed through Zhang nglong's heart, but he imdiately cald down and made a voice call to Xu Li.
The relationships among their dormitory friends had always been very good. Although they referred to each other using familial terms, it definitely wasn't a superficial friendship; otherwise, Zhang nglong wouldn't have taken them to his hotown for a visit.
"What exactly happened? Take it slow."
"Didn't Sun Yulei find an internship a while ago? A position in operations at an internet company."
"What about it?" Zhang nglong still had so recollection of this matter. Their major was indeed very difficult to find jobs in, so Sun Yulei had decided to give up on his major and switch fields. Operational positions generally had lower professional thresholds and were more suitable for them.
"The company's scale is not too small, around 300 people I guess. Sun Yulei was originally working on a team project involving an internet celebrity. The project entailed competing with several peers for a brand's representation rights, and they were about to secure it, but unexpectedly, at the last mont, the brand changed its mind."
"Keep going," Zhang nglong still hadn't heard the key point.
"Because soone in their company accepted a bribe from a competitor and leaked so strategic plans to them, that's why this happened at the last minute, and Sun Yulei inexplicably beca the scapegoat!"
"You an, there's sothing wrong with the head of that project group?" Zhang nglong had finally grasped the crux of the issue.
"Although there is no evidence, it's very likely. You should know Sun Yulei's personality; he absolutely couldn't do such a thing."
"I know, I believe him," Zhang nglong nodded. Among their dormitory brothers, Sun Yulei was the most straightforward. He harbored no sches and never clashed with others. They had reminded him more than once that such a nature could easily lead to disadvantage."
"So what's the situation now?" Zhang nglong asked.
"Sun Yulei's account suddenly increased by a hundred thousand yuan, and so correspondence with the rival company was found on his work computer. If this accusation is confird, he could be sentenced to at least three years!"
"Three years?" Zhang nglong clenched his fists. A just-graduated college student, with bright prospects and future ahead of him—being sentenced to three years would likely disconnect him from society imdiately after release. Moreover, the stigma of a bribery conviction would follow him for life, tarnishing his resu permanently.
"There are two ways to resolve this now, one is to compensate the company for their loss, then the company might drop the charges against Sun Yulei; the other is to find evidence proving his innocence."
"The loss must be significant, right?" Zhang nglong asked.
"According to the project's expected evaluation, the net profit would exceed 20 million yuan!" Xu Li said. "Old Zhang, your family is so wealthy, you must have so connections right? Even if the connections don't work out, at least help Sun Yulei find a few lawyers, he can't just go in like this!"
"Goodness, the real bribe-taker really has so guts," Zhang nglong's eyes showed a murderous glint, "I got it. You guys don't need to worry about it; just wait for my news."
Zhang nglong hung up the call and imdiately phoned Hong Yi.
"You haven't gone to sleep yet, have you?"
"Not yet, Mr. Zhang. Is there anything you need?"
"Do I have a lawyer under my na?"
"Yes!"
"I want the most professional one," Zhang nglong said.
"Rest assured, Mr. Zhang, your lawyer is absolutely top-level in the world," Hong Yi said, "Do you know the Nanshan Pizzahut?"
"Isn't that the one that's always fighting lawsuits for Tengxun, undefeated, who can turn black into white?" Zhang nglong had heard of the Nanshan Pizzahut before.
Due to Tengxun's ga designs involving nurous copyright disputes, they faced lawsuits from both dostic and international ga companies every now and then. However, up to now, Tengxun had never been defeated, and their legal departnt, the so-called Nanshan Pizzahut, played a major role in this.
"To maintain the highest professionalism, the lawyers under your na undergo internal competition every so often. The winner stays on with a doubled salary, and the loser has to leave. The founding mbers of Nanshan Pizzahut are so of those who were eliminated more than a decade ago."
"Impressive!" Zhang nglong exclaid. Even those who were eliminated had such capabilities, so the lawyers still under him must be the elite of the elite.
"Arrange it for , I'll be back in Jiangnan City tomorrow," Zhang nglong said, "Also, that Nas Holdings Group, I want all their information."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, within half an hour, all information about Nas Holdings, including all mbers, will be sent to your email. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Not for now, go ahead and get busy?"
"Yes."
...
"What audacity!" Zhang nglong pounded the desk fiercely, "Even my brother dares to fra , he really doesn't know what 'seeking death' ans!"
It wasn't that Zhang nglong had beco arrogant and looked down on everyone just because he had inherited the family wealth.
You see, his roommates were all from ordinary families. The company's loss of 20 million, even if they sold everything they owned, wouldn't possibly cover it. This only ant that the likely scenario was Sun Yulei being sued and imprisoned.
Once the charge was proven, Sun Yulei's life was pretty much completely ruined. This wasn't a small matter, which was why Zhang nglong was so furious.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Soone knocked on Zhang nglong's door.
"Why are you here?" Zhang nglong opened the door, and standing outside was Lu Yiyao, "Are you really lonely and cold in the night, needing the comfort of my arms?"
Seeing Lu Yiyao, the hostility in Zhang nglong's heart dissipated quite a bit.
"Stop joking!" Lu Yiyao glared playfully at Zhang nglong, "I heard the sound of you smashing the table and ca over to see what was wrong with you. By the look on your face, what happened?"
"My roommate has been frad and is facing a lawsuit."
"Ah? How did that happen?"
"I'm not sure about the details yet. I was planning to stay a few more days to foster our relationship, but it looks like I need to rush back to Jiangnan City tomorrow." Zhang nglong said sowhat regretfully.
"Who wants to foster a relationship with you," Lu Yiyao snapped back, "But this isn't sothing minor. You must be careful when you help him deal with it. Don't get yourself in trouble too."
"Don't worry, it's just a small lawsuit. I can handle it," Zhang nglong said, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"I couldn't sleep, I actually wanted to co and talk to you."
"Dressed like that? Aren't you afraid I might lose control?" Zhang nglong joked.
"You'd need the guts to do that first."
"Hahaha, I feel like hearing you sing," Zhang nglong walked over to a standing piano in the room, "Ms. Lu, would you honor
with a song?"
"Alright, then trouble Mr. Zhang to play the accompanint."
Zhang nglong's fingers nimbly danced on the piano, and a sweet prelude flowed out.
Lu Yiyao showed a knowing smile, it was the song they first collaborated on when they t:
There are always so surprising encounters,
Like when I t you,
