The knock on the door paused for a while, and after a while, Lu Ziming's phone rang.

He then answered the phone.

The call was made by the person in charge of his chain store in city A, and the person in charge said hurriedly: "Mr. Lu, are you not in the hotel now? I have something urgent to call you..."

Because of the lack of manpower around him, Lu Ziming didn't keep anyone on his side, so just in case, he was extra cautious when encountering problems.

But I didn't want to, but the person who came was my own.

Lu Ziming opened the door directly.

Manager Zhang, who was in charge of the chain store, seemed to be in a hurry, with an anxious expression on his face, and he said as soon as he entered the door: "Mr. Lu, it's not good, something happened."

Lu Ziming suddenly had a very bad premonition.

He leaned on the sofa: "Don't worry, talk slowly, what happened?"

Manager Zhang replied: "This is Mr. Lu, our store...Actually, I am not really responsible for this matter. The seafood in our store has never had any problems. I don't know what happened this time. All the guests had diarrhea after eating it!"

Lu Ziming was stunned for a moment, a similar situation had happened in Z city before.

But that was a few years ago.

After that incident, my store was neglected for a long time, and only in the past two years did it recover.

Unexpectedly, City A would repeat the same mistakes.

He had a headache: "Is there something wrong with the supplier?"

Manager Zhang nodded: "The previous supplier seems to have given up the business in his hand because of some urgent matter."

No need for him to elaborate, Lu Ziming already understood everything: "There must be something wrong with the successor, right?"

Manager Zhang sighed: "I checked. Our people did the test according to the rules. At that time, nothing was found. Who would have thought that such a big mess would happen, but the successor is still missing. , making it impossible for us to verify."

Lu Ziming nodded: "Let's leave this matter to the police. We just need to cooperate fully, and we don't need to do anything else."

Manager Zhang replied: "I understand, but I'm worried..."

Lu Ziming smiled meaninglessly: "Someone wants to smear us, but what's black can't be white, and what's white can't be black either. There's nothing to worry about. The worst result is that the business of the store will be affected a little. It's not a big deal."

The manager hesitated and asked: "Then should we take measures to reduce the loss?"

Lu Ziming shook his head, but seemed to be thinking: "It can also be considered, but what measures do you think we can take in this situation?"

The manager thought for a while: "Lay off staff, change the salary method, and change the marketing strategy and business scope... We can temporarily stop seafood sales."

Lu Ziming frowned: "It's okay to stop seafood sales, but it must be done step by step, not one size fits all, the salary method cannot be changed temporarily, and layoffs are even worse, it will cause uneasiness among employees."

He paused for a moment, and then said again: "There are not many people in City Z, you can consider dispatching some employees there, of course it is all voluntary."

Manager Zhang hurriedly said, "I understand what you mean. Is there anything else I should pay attention to? For example, the media..."

Lu Ziming shook his head: "No, we don't have the strength to make it even with the media, so let them say what they say, but if they make any inappropriate remarks, we can investigate to the end!"

Manager Zhang agreed, and then turned and left.

The room was quiet again.

Lu Ziming leaned tiredly on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

On the surface, he wasn't too worried about this matter, but in his heart he was extremely irritable.

He knew that this matter was a conspiracy carefully planned by someone.

And this conspiracy, and everything that happened in Z City, should be the masterpiece of the same person.

This man's handwriting is so big and his tentacles are so long, it makes people smack their tongues.

But who would he be?

Although Lu's chain is not more influential in City A than City Z, it is not unknown.

Although the matter has not been investigated clearly, the police have repeatedly stated that it is only an internal investigation and everything is kept secret, but those paparazzi still do not know how to get the news.

On the third day after the incident, the newspapers began to report the incident.

Some are just insinuations, without directly naming the lawyer.

However, some reports clearly pointed out that something happened to the Lu family, and they publicized it in a big way, causing panic among people for a while.

It's just that what they didn't expect was how serious the consequences of their actions would be...

Qi Sisi immediately took the newspaper and rushed to the morning newspaper office with her lawyer and bodyguards.

At that time, because it was not yet working time, although the staff of the newspaper office had already arrived, they had not yet devoted themselves to their work. They were chatting and making coffee, which was very lively.

The guards tried to stop Qi Sisi, but the bodyguards behind Qi Sisi directly stopped them, and Qi Sisi drove in.

The employees of the newspaper office were taken aback by her sudden intrusion.

A editor-in-chief directly asked: "Miss, what is going on with you, without permission..."

Qi Sisi cursed as soon as she opened her mouth, shaking the newspaper in her hand: "So what if you don't have permission? Do you have our permission to talk nonsense every day? Let me tell you, we will pursue your legal responsibility for this matter." .”

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper pushed up his reading glasses, and after seeing the content of her newspaper clearly, he guessed her identity: "Our reports are all based on facts..."

Qi Sisi sneered: "Bullshit facts, the police don't have any evidence to prove that we are responsible for the incident, so you just talk nonsense and cause immeasurable losses to our store. We want to sue you, and you just wait for our subpoena!"

The editor-in-chief's face turned pale: "But miss, we didn't say in the report that there must be something wrong with your Lu family..."

Qi Sisi slapped the newspaper on his face: "You are misleading the readers. Let me tell you, our Lu family will investigate to the end. If you don't make us feel better, we will let you disappear from City A. Let's walk Look!"

After she finished speaking, she strode away.

The editor-in-chief who was left behind turned pale and red, as ugly as he wanted.

A middle-aged man in casual clothes came over: "Editor-in-Chief, that person should be Qi Sisi, right?"

The editor-in-chief nodded, and stuffed the newspaper directly into the trash can: "You are simply a shrew, a real shrew!"

The man smiled: "Don't worry, I have a friend who is a legend in the legal profession. I will ask him to help with this lawsuit. We will win and never lose!"

The editor-in-chief was stunned for a moment, and then remembered something: "I remembered it, it's the one... Attorney Feng, right, it's him, you should contact him right now, as long as he is willing to help us, the lawsuit will be safe. Win or lose."

The man smiled and picked up the phone: "Don't worry, as long as I ask, he will definitely not refuse."

The call got through quickly, and the man got straight to the point: "Old Feng, our newspaper office has encountered some trouble recently, can you spare some time..."

The other party interrupted him without waiting for him to finish his sentence: "Did you get into trouble with your recent report? Let me tell you, I dare not help you, and I can't help you. You should hire someone else." .”

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by that, we have been friends for so many years, you will not be so busy and refuse to help."

The other party sighed: "It's easy for you to say, and you're so busy, can you think Lu Ziming is something you and I can afford, you have caused a lot of trouble this time."

The middle-aged man's face was ugly: "It seems that you are afraid of them."

The man on the other end of the phone said: "I'm afraid of them. If you are not afraid, you can fight them. But as a friend, I still want to remind you that you should finally find out about this matter in private, otherwise you will suffer." .”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "I want to see how capable Lu Ziming is. I will fight him to the end no matter what..."

The man on the other end of the phone sighed: "You are so stubborn, I have nothing to say, so be it, I hope you can settle this matter. But when hiring a lawyer, you must choose the right one, you know? , because my benefactor has been victorious in every battle since his debut, not just anyone can compete."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

The middle-aged man held the phone firmly in his hand, and his face was full of disbelief: "Oh my God, how could this be... His mentor, isn't Zheng Weixi, didn't Zheng Weixi quit the arena seven years ago, why did he do it this time?" Lu Ziming's public prosecutor?"

The editor-in-chief beside him frowned: "If that's the case, we are sure to lose!"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't think this is very likely."

The editor-in-chief frowned: "Then do you think your friend will lie?"

The man shook his head again: "Probably not..."

The editor-in-chief sighed: "It seems that we have no choice now. You should contact Lu Ziming quickly. We will accept the loss and apologize. As long as they can withdraw the lawsuit, it will be fine."

The man's face was ugly: "But I don't think it's feasible. They will definitely open their mouths. How can we survive then?"

The old editor-in-chief snorted coldly: "Then you're talking about how we can survive? Even if we go bankrupt this time, it's better than shutting down the newspaper, right? You're the one who made this matter up, so hurry up and give it to me." Go and solve it, don't talk so much nonsense, you know?"

The man turned pale and wanted to say something, but he just opened his mouth and held back.

The editor-in-chief turned and went back to his office, opened the door with one hand, and turned around without holding back: "Let me tell you, if you can't solve this matter as soon as possible, you will pack up and leave immediately. Our newspaper office, but the maintenance I'm sorry for a great god like you."

The middle-aged man's face was livid, but he still didn't say a word.
