Chapter 27 - A week (IV) (1/2)
[DAY 5]
” Sir, please don't believe the rumors. Once the trial ended, CJ's innocence will be proven and our image will be restored to its peak. It's only temporary. We assure you that CJ's will truly compensate you and prove to you that CJ's, a hundred year old company, will rise on the top again. Please don't pull out your investments.” One of board of directors said to the phone. Since from early morning they received calls after calls from the investments companies they had a connection to. They were all pulling out their investments. Breaching the contract.
The matter with GXX company being quiet made things worst. The other companies sense something was fishy and realized that the rumors against them might be true. As business is business, they don't want to ride on the sinking ship. The companies that have a relation to CJ's breach their contracts and distanced their selves from CJ's - a tainted company. They don't want their company's image to be damaged.
Of course, this move did not escape in SHM 's tailing techniques.
They posted again the companies that pulled out from CJ's. The viewers was adamant to know if it's true or not, contacting those companies in the list. The companies that pulled out did not have any against to CJ's so they also did not speak any of it. This made people agitated. Since they could not contact those private companies who were not obliged to answer them they turned to the government : Justice Department.
Xiong Zhi who were dilly-dallying in school and staring at Linfeng most of the time saw this news.
'It is about time....'
She reached out to her phone and dialed a number.
”Hello? Lawyer Bivia Chang speaking.”
”Lawyer Chang this is Xiong Zhi. Meet me at XX coffee shop at 6pm. I'll bring the evidence to you.”
Toooot...tooot....tooot...
Lawyer Chang stared at her phone.
'This girl....'

Xiong Zhi was sipping her tea while staring at Lawyer Chang. Lawyer Chang was doing the same, sipping at her coffee while staring at the girl.
'How's the thing in her end...? -Xiong Zhi
'How's the thing in her end...?- Lawyer Chang
”The evidence-” Lawyer Chang

”Well, you speak first.” Lawyer Chang said .
”How's Xiao Mei's trial, did you manage to made them agree to be Xiao Mei's lawyer?”
”Not yet, but I will be no matter what. Huo Dian is helping. He is now taking care of the procedures to file an reinvestigation.”
”Hmmm...”
”How about you? You said you'll bring to me the evidence?”
”En. Once I gave it to you, the matter will be handle by you. Be her lawyer and let Huo Dian be the prosecutor.”
Lawyer Chang smiled at Xiong Zhi.
”That's what we planned. But the higher ups seemed unmoving. We we are now waiting for the public to act. So that they will be forced.”
”En. Don't worry about the public's reaction and support. Just file and announced the trial publicly. I'll invite a media to publicize the trial , Live. So they can act justly while the people watch them.”
”Brilliant . Don't worry, me and Huo Dian will participate to the trial no matter what.”
”En. ” Then she handed the USB with the same file she had given to SHM and a box.
