Chapter Forty-Eight: Not Worthy of Being Compared to Pigs

(Bow and thank "wangshao83" for the support of three commuter passes!)

Zhou Ming, as usual, after coming out of the courthouse, he first sent Allen back to his law firm, and then returned to his Harvard dormitory.

When he returned to the dormitory, it was already evening, and all the students in the finance class gathered in the hall on the first floor, and when they saw Zhou Ming coming back, they immediately put down the things they were doing, and invariably cast inquiring glances at Zhou Ming.

In the face of so many glances, Zhou Ming smiled, glared back one by one and said, "What are you looking at me doing? Is it possible that now that the account of Wharton Insurance Company is frozen, you have nothing to do? You don't forget what our original goal was, I know that you are very concerned about the company's situation, and I am also very happy for your sense of ownership." ”

Zhou Ming said and changed the conversation: "But there is one thing, I hope you can focus a little, at least not be so easily distracted by other inconsequential things." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming deliberately paused, then looked around before continuing: "Do you think that my words are a little inappropriate, but I want to say that I am not wrong, because as far as you are concerned, you do not have any ability to make changes, no matter what the outcome of my court today, you are powerless, then this is irrelevant." More important to you than this is to complete the tasks I have given you until you are truly capable of advancing and retreating with me. ”

In the face of Zhou Ming's words, all the students in the finance class lowered their heads, and Chen Shu, as the class leader, took the initiative to stand up and say: "Teacher, I understand, we will focus more on each task you assigned in the future." ”

Zhou Ming nodded with satisfaction at Chen Shu's words, and then went upstairs to his room, and at the same time called Chen Shuye Ning and Li Yang to go upstairs together.

Zhou Ming took them back to the room and sat on the sofa together, Zhou Ming asked them, "I think you should have guessed the reason why I called you up, right?"

The three of them nodded in unison, and finally Chen Shu said, "Teacher, you should be telling us something special." ”

Zhou Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "Actually, there is nothing special, it is nothing more than to tell you some truths, the truth about today's court." ”

Zhou Ming emphasized: "I have confidence in the three of you, so I can tell you that today the court rejected my application, which means that our Wharton Insurance Company must pay more than $7 million in claims within three days, or if all the assets are frozen, if it cannot be paid as scheduled, then the judicial system will intervene and liquidate and reorganize the assets of Wharton Insurance Company." ”

"As things stand," Zhou Ming speculated, "if nothing else, it should be Congressman Sr. Brooke's investment firm that will take over my Wharton Insurance Company." ”

As Zhou Ming's last sentence came out, Chen Shuye Ning and Li Yang immediately gasped, and Zhou Ming let them digest it for a while before saying: "This is not a big deal, at least it won't have much impact on our next tasks, but this matter should not be made public for the time being, I am worried that it will cause any unnecessary impact." ”

The three of them all nodded to show that they understood, and Zhou Ming waved their hands to let them leave, but when they were about to go out, Zhou Ming also advised: "After you go out, don't tell everyone that it has been resolved, just try not to mention it, I believe you know what to do." ”

After they all went out, Zhou Ming took out the pager, which had a message from Allen, and Zhou Ming immediately picked up the phone in the room and called.

Allen quickly connected the phone, and after knowing that it was Zhou Ming, he immediately went straight to the topic: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I checked just now and found a very unfavorable news for you, the judge Will who is in court for us today, his surname is Adams, I think you should be able to understand." ”

Zhou Ming smiled, of course he could understand that the word Adams was the word that Zhou Ming heard the most in the past few days, although every Adams was the founding father of the United States, and Adams was just a very ordinary surname like China's Zhao Qian Sun Li, but now that Alan has mentioned it so solemnly, it is obvious that this Adams is the Adams he is most worried about.

Zhou Ming sighed when he thought of this: "I can't help it to make such a powerful family do such a thing, but what I didn't expect is that the old Brooke guy really invited the Addams family out, and I thought that the big bosses would not appear until the end." ”

Allen didn't understand the ridicule of the big boss, he just explained to Zhou Ming: "However, the Addams family has been based in Brighton for more than 300 years, and it must be very large, and today this Will Adams is just a side branch of the family that is not very important, so he did not take over any property, but was just a very ordinary judge in the Fenway District Court." ”

Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly, he really didn't know whether he should laugh or cry for Allen's explanation.

The laugh is because Will Adams is just an unimportant side branch of that family, which shows that things are not without any room for turnaround, and the cry is because the Addams family can even be an unimportant side branch to be a judge, this achievement has made many people envious, so what about those core members of the family?

Zhou Ming exhaled slowly and said, "Thank you, Lawyer Allen, I know about this matter, is there any way you can help me contact this judge named Will Adams?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhou Ming, as your lawyer, when there is a case, we can't have too much contact with the judge, otherwise it will be regarded as obstructing judicial justice. Allen said, "But Mr. Zhou Ming, if you don't intend to run into him in your life, or if you accidentally call the wrong number and call him, it is still allowed by law." ”

These words made Zhou Ming dumbfounded, and they all said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and it seems that the lawyer of the future White House legal adviser to the President of the United States has also learned badly and knows that he is going to take advantage of loopholes in this way. Zhou Ming thanked Allen, then hung up the phone, and then dialed Hoover's phone, but no one answered, and the mobile phone could not be reached, so Zhou Ming had no choice but to go to the Tangren Bank the next day to find him directly.

There were still many people in the China Bank, and Zhou Ming wanted to go directly to Hoover, but Hoover's secretary told Zhou Ming that he didn't have time, so Zhou Ming had to ask him through his secretary if he could help contact Judge Will Adams of the Fenway District Court, and he needed to meet with him.

Hoover promised to say yes, Zhou Ming went back suspiciously and waited for news, and finally the next day, Hoover's secretary called Zhou Ming and told him that he had made an appointment to meet him in the restaurant.

The time for Hoover to help Zhou Ming was twelve o'clock at noon, but Zhou Ming came to the restaurant first at half past eleven, which was a kind of respect for the other party, but also because of anxiety, after all, today is the last day of the claim deadline, which means that if Zhou Ming can't convince Judge Will on this day, then he will lose Wharton Insurance Company, so Zhou Ming feels that he has to give it a go anyway.

At twelve o'clock, a chubby figure appeared in front of Zhou Ming as promised, and he was Judge Will Adams.

Will rushed to the agreed place but saw Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming got up and took the initiative to shake hands with him and say hello, but he didn't pay attention to Zhou Ming's outstretched hand at all, and just smiled contemptuously: "It turns out that you asked me to meet? Do you know that your private appointment like this is an illegal act, suspected of obstructing judicial justice, I can report you to the procuratorate, and you will go to jail." ”

Zhou Ming was not frightened by Will, but he withdrew his hand without embarrassment and said, "I am very sure of this. ”

Then Zhou Ming changed the tone and said: "I'm very sure that you won't report me, because first of all, we just accidentally met in the restaurant, can everyone take a picture on the road can also hinder justice? ”

Will Adams's eyes turned cold: "Mr. Zhou Ming, is this threatening me?"

Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and said, "It depends on what you think, Lord Will, I think this is more of an exchange between us, what do you say?"

"Communication?" Will Adams smiled, "You are just a lucky Chinese, I am from the Adams family, you are my litigant in court, I am a judge, do you think there is any need for communication between me and you?"

Zhou Ming ignored the other party's ridicule and still said: "I think it is very necessary, after all, this is related to an insurance company with assets of more than 100 million dollars, and the billions of insurance policies involved, once this bomb explodes, I think even the mayor of Brighton will not be able to bear it, right?

"It's not a small amount of money. Will Adams muttered in his mouth, and then shifted the topic to Zhou Ming, "But isn't this all thanks to you, a Chinese?"

"I have learned about your insurance company, you are nominally selling insurance, but in fact you promise to give all policyholders a high return on benefits, in fact, you take all the policyholders' money to engage in some illegal activities, or directly use the money of the policyholders behind to repay the interest of the policyholders in front, this is a blatant Ponzi scheme!" Will Adams severely reprimanded Zhou Ming.

Will Adams saw that Zhou Ming didn't speak immediately, so he said smugly: "How about it? I have nothing to say, villains like you should get out of the United States, before I report you." ”

Zhou Ming looked up at Will Adams, shook his head with a sneer, and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, it's not like I have nothing to say, I'm just thinking about a problem." ”

Will Adams subconsciously asked what it was, and Zhou Ming told him, "I'm thinking, are you a pig?"

Will Adams obviously didn't expect Zhou Ming to suddenly say such a sentence, he was stunned at that time, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Ming and said, "What did you just say, you actually dare to scold me?"

Zhou Ming still shook his head and said: "I'm sorry I didn't mean to insult you, because I think that sentence is the biggest insult to pigs, you are far worse than pigs, or you don't deserve to be compared with pigs at all!"

Will Adams was so angry that he trembled: "You dare to say that about me? You know that I am a member of the Addams family, do you know that you still have important evidence in my hands, you are suspected of perjury, I can report you to the prosecutor's office at any time, accuse you of obstructing justice, I can throw you in prison and never let you out!"

Zhou Ming jokingly said: "That's right, my judge, you are indeed a member of the Addams family, but you are just an insignificant side branch, as for that important evidence, if you think it is suitable for reporting, please act immediately, don't hesitate, I am looking forward to who is obstructing justice." ”

As for your last sentence, I think it can be used as evidence in court. Zhou Ming took out a miniature tape recorder like a trick when he spoke, and deliberately shook it in front of him.

Will Adams saw the tape recorder and his face turned white.
