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

He answered the phone.

The call was from the person in charge of the chain store in City A, and the person in charge spoke urgently: "Mr. Lu, are you not in the hotel now, I have something urgent to find you......"

Because of the lack of manpower around him, Lu Ziming did not keep anyone here, so in case of emergency, he was extra cautious.

But I don't want to, but the person who comes is my own person.

Lu Ziming opened the door directly.

Manager Zhang, who was in charge of the chain store, looked in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face, and 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 back on the sofa: "Don't worry, speak slowly, what's going on?" ”

Manager Zhang replied: "That's Mr. Lu, our store is ...... Actually, I am really not responsible for this matter, there has never been any problem with the seafood in our store, this time I don't know how, all the guests have diarrhea after eating! ”

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, his store was closed for a long time, and it was only in the past two years that it recovered.

But I didn't expect that City A would repeat the mistakes of the past.

He had a headache: "Is there a problem on the supplier's side?" ”

Manager Zhang nodded: "The previous supplier seems to have given away the business in his hand because he was in a hurry." ”

There is no need for him to say in detail, Lu Ziming has already understood everything: "There must be something wrong with the receiver, right?" ”

Manager Zhang sighed: "I have checked, our people have done the test in accordance with the rules, and nothing was found at that time, who would have thought that there would be such a big mess, but the person who took over is still nowhere to be found, so we have no way to verify." ”

Lu Ziming nodded: "Just leave this matter to the police to deal with, we just need to fully cooperate, and we don't have to do anything else." ”

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

Lu Ziming smiled meaninglessly: "Someone wants to discredit us, but the black can't be white, the white can't be black, there's nothing to worry about, the worst result is just that the business in the store is affected, it's not a big deal." ”

The manager hesitated and asked, "Then we can take measures to reduce the loss without mentioning money?" ”

Lu Ziming shook his head, but seemed thoughtful: "You can also consider it, but what do you think we can do in this situation?" ”

The manager thought for a moment: "Layoffs, changes in compensation, and also, changes in marketing strategies, business scope...... We can temporarily stop seafood sales. ”

Lu Ziming frowned: "It's okay to stop seafood sales, but it must be gradual, not one-size-fits-all, the salary method cannot be changed for the time being, and layoffs are even more unacceptable, which will cause unease among employees." ”

He paused for a moment before he said: "There are not many people in Z City, so you can consider sending some employees there, of course, it must be all voluntary." ”

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

Lu Ziming shook his head: "No, we don't have the strength to balance the media, whatever they say, but if they make any inappropriate remarks, we can investigate them to the end!" ”

Manager Zhang answered, and then turned to leave.

Silence returned to the room.

Lu Ziming leaned on the back of the chair tiredly, closing his eyes and recuperating.

On the surface, he was not very worried about this matter, but in his heart he was extremely irritable.

He knew that this was a conspiracy that someone had carefully planned.

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

This person's hand is so big and his tentacles are so long that it makes people smack their tongues.

But who could he be?

Although Lu's chain is not more influential in city A than city Z, it is not a nobody.

Although the matter has not yet been clarified, and the police have repeatedly stated that it is only an internal investigation and everything is confidential, but those paparazzi still don't know how to get the news.

On the third day of the incident, the newspaper began to report on it.

Some are just insinuations, and the lawyer's name is not directly named.

However, some reports clearly pointed out that it was Lu's accident that happened, and it was widely publicized, which caused panic among people for a while.

It's just that what they can't imagine is how serious the consequences of doing this are......

Qi Sisi took the newspaper as soon as possible and rushed to the morning newspaper office with his lawyer bodyguard.

At that time, because it was not yet time to go to work, although the newspaper staff had arrived, they had not yet put themselves into work.

The doorman tried to stop Qi Sisi, but the bodyguards behind Qi Sisi directly stopped them, and Qi Sisi's column drove in.

The newspaper staff were taken aback by her sudden intrusion.

The editor-in-chief directly asked: "This young lady, may I ask you what is going on, without permission......

Qi Sisi opened her mouth and scolded, she shook the newspaper in her hand: "What if you don't have permission?" Do you talk nonsense every day with our permission? I tell you, we are going to hold you legally accountable for this matter. ”

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper pushed up her reading glasses to see the contents of her newspaper clearly, and guessed her identity: "Our reports are all based on facts......

Qi Sisi sneered: "The fact of bullshit, the police have no evidence to prove that we are responsible for the matter now, you just talk nonsense, the damage caused to our store is immeasurable, we want to sue you, you just wait for our summons!" ”

The editor-in-chief's face turned pale: "But this young lady, our report did not say that there must be something wrong with your Lu family......

Qi Sisi slapped the newspaper on his face: "You are misleading readers, I tell you, our Lu family will investigate to the end, if you don't let us have a good time, we will let you disappear from City A, let's see!" ”

After she finished speaking, she strode away.

Leaving the editor-in-chief's face white and red for a while, how ugly and ugly it is.

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

The editor-in-chief nodded and stuffed the newspaper directly into the trash: "It's just a shrew, an authentic shrew!" ”

The man smiled: "Don't worry, I have a friend who is a legend in the legal profession, I asked him to help fight this lawsuit, and we will win and not lose!" ”

The editor-in-chief was stunned for a moment, and then remembered something: "I remembered it, it was the ...... Lawyer Feng: That's right, it's him, you should contact him right now, as long as he is willing to help us in this lawsuit, we will win and not lose. ”

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

The phone got through quickly, and the man went straight to the topic: "Lao Feng, our newspaper has been in some trouble recently, see if you can spare some time......"

The other party didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then interrupted him: "Did you get into trouble with that recent report?" Let me tell you, I don't dare to help you and can't help, so you better ask for another skill. ”

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

The other party sighed: "What you said is easy, and you are so busy, can you and I afford to be Lu Ziming, you are in 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're not afraid, you can fight with them, but as a friend, I still want to remind you that you finally understand this matter privately, otherwise you will suffer." ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "I want to see how capable he Lu Ziming can be, I have to 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 wish you can settle this matter." But when you hire a lawyer, you must choose the right person, you know, because my mentor has won every battle since his debut, and not just anyone can compete with him. ”

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

The middle-aged man held his mobile phone in his hand, his face full of incredulity: "Oh my God, how can this be...... His mentor is not Zheng Weixi, didn't Zheng Weixi quit the rivers and lakes seven years ago, why did he become Lu Ziming's public prosecution lawyer this time? ”

The editor-in-chief beside him frowned: "If that's the case, we are indeed doomed!" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't think it's 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 hurry up and contact Lu Ziming, we all admit to the loss of money and apologize, as long as they can withdraw the lawsuit, whatever." ”

The man's face was ugly: "But I don't think it's feasible, they will definitely open their mouths, how can we survive at that time?" ”

The old editor-in-chief snorted coldly: "Then you can tell me how we can survive?" Even if it costs us money this time, it's better than the newspaper closing its doors, right? This matter is a basket you poked out, you hurry up and solve it for me, don't talk so much nonsense, you know. ”

The man's face turned pale and he wanted to say something, but he only opened his mouth and held back.

The editor-in-chief turned around and went back to his office, opened the door with one hand, and turned back again: "Let me tell you, if you can't solve this matter as soon as possible, you will immediately roll up and leave. ”

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