Chapter 227: You're on the Left Bank, I'm on the Right Bank

An Feng glanced at the other party, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

Do I have to make a choice?

Why should I choose?

It's just a job, and you need to give yourself up for this job?

No, Helen just ...... It's just a "colleague" he met on a mission, and he doesn't have to have a super-friendship with this colleague. An Feng is not short of money or women, and the other party is not a fairy, so he is worthy of being a moth to the fire, so ......

"There is a Seine in every heart, which divides one of our hearts into two sides, soft on the left bank and cold and the right; The left bank is the dream, the right bank is life; The left bank is inhabited by our desires, prayers, struggles, and all our love, hatred, and anger, and on the right bank is inhabited by the imprint of the rules of this world in our hearts", An Feng raised his glass and said this famous sentence calmly.

After a pause, An Feng pointed to the location of this bar and added softly: "I seem to be on the right bank now."

Helen looked up at her surroundings, at the bright streets, at the joy created by the flowers and streamers, and she smiled: "You think you are on the right bank, who can tell clearly between left and right - if you sit in the other direction, you still think you are on the right bank?" ”

An Feng had already begun to get up, he casually dropped a few banknotes on the table, and continued to add: "Life, no one can be simple all the way to the end, but always remember, always remind yourself not to forget your original self...... Let's go, let me send you home. ”

Helen smiled and shook her head: "No, you go, I still want to stay for a while." I'm waiting for someone, someone who can put a stop to my lonely story tonight, someone who can accompany me to all the sad love songs and not make me want to cry. ”

An Feng did not hesitate, he nodded goodbye, then tightened the clothes on his body, and walked towards his Smart car along the brightly lit "Right Bank of Paris...... Oh, whether he is on the left bank or the right bank now, who can tell, the body turns in a different direction, and the left and right have changed.

Helen hopes that she is in a dream tonight, hoping to stretch her desires and struggles to the fullest, but An Feng needs to guard the bottom line.

Sitting in his mini car, An Feng suddenly remembered that it seemed that his castle had never received an order to light the lights... Of course, from a judicial point of view, the Château is located on the outskirts of Paris, and it is an ancient castle with huge debts and on the verge of bankruptcy. Such a castle needs to be lit even if there is an order...... Who will install the light bulbs? The castle was in debt, and the construction cost of installing the light bulb could not be afforded, and Joseph had good reason to refuse.

What's more, the ancient castle has recently undergone a transfer of property rights, and in this case, it is estimated that the municipal unit itself feels a headache, so he saved the notice - after all, the ancient castle is personal property, and personal property is sacred and inviolable. If the owner of the castle does not want to earn the electricity bill, the city government has no right to coerce him.

Thinking about it further, An Feng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, accidents, accidents, there are too many accidents in this mission. He was going to do it this weekend, but now that the lights are all over Paris, the citizens can't sleep at night infected by this Indian joy. For the next five days, all the buildings in the city will be illuminated by lights, and in such a situation, who would dare to climb the building and climb over the wall in the bright lights to commit a traitor...... Is there anything more stupid than that?

Annoyed in his heart, An Feng did not send a stop signal. Odney continued to advance the plan, and all preparations were gradually ready, and Wu Xiyue also issued a notice: "We have agreed with them to meet on the weekend......

An Feng was stunned for a moment, Wu Xiyue thought that An Feng didn't understand, and hurriedly explained further: "The company you mentioned, after we have weighed it, we believe that its assets are the best, and we are ready to start acquisition negotiations, and their corporate lawyer, Chrisan, will contact us tonight."

An Feng, no matter what your intentions were before, I don't ask about this and I don't want to know. But business is business, and we're in the final stages of our work, and if you put aside your preconceptions, the company you're recommending is very valuable for acquisition – better than the few we had planned at hand, with a very strong portfolio and good results after the acquisition.

You know, the European market has gone through more than 1,000 years of full market-oriented competition, almost all industries tend to be saturated, and most companies can't find a growth point for decades, just pursuing a stable maintenance and maintaining a state of survival. Therefore, companies such as Goldman Sachs are reluctant to start in Europe, they believe that unless new technologies are produced, European companies will have new growth points. Only new technologies can reduce costs and increase the profitability of old factories.

And most quantum funds and hedge funds often choose this time to buy European companies. They will renovate the equipment of the company they have bought, and then look for a new buyer to resell the company

Wu Xiyue's "excellent assets of the other party" is not good assets in the strict sense, what she means is that the company has been established for a long time, and the equipment has been outdated.

Generally speaking, business owners in Europe are very much welcome to similar funding. People are old business owners, and they have made money from their old equipment, and if they want to modify the equipment, they will inevitably have to take money out of their wallets. And whether the company can make a greater profit after renovating the equipment can only be borne by the person who pays for it - this risk is completely unknown.

At this point, it's a different story if the hedge fund is willing to initiate an acquisition. After being acquired, the relative value of the shares held by them has not changed, and it is more likely that the other party will repackage the old factory and sell it again, and the shares in hand of the entrepreneur can continue to increase in value.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the two parties have come together quickly, and now the two parties have reached the point where they must be represented by lawyers, which means that the two parties have begun to account for assets, and to consider each other's share distribution and future benefits.

An Feng thought for a while, and when he was hesitating, Wu Xiyue complained: "Oh, by the way, where did you find that one...... Miss Michelle, it's only been a few days, and my team has guessed her occupation - she's a thief, a thief with a serious kleptomania.

Alas, this young lady is curious about everything, and the pen and calculator we used are gone in the blink of an eye, and if you ask her, you will surely be able to find out the whereabouts. But this man ...... She never reaches out for important things, and all she holds are small things. Yesterday, the portable soft keyboard that my colleague carried disappeared for the seventh time, and it was found in her room in a blink of an eye. No one knows when she came in and when she took it.

You say, she can't fiddle with a computer, what's the use of just having a keyboard? No, no, you take this person away as soon as possible, we can't stand it, although it's all small things, although you can find it afterwards, but it's too annoying......"

An Feng forgot to calm down when he was annoyed, and his angry voice came out from between his teeth: "Okay, you meet that person tonight as scheduled...... Truth be told, Miss Michelle did steal something, and I was going to take a few things from the man. ”

Wu Xiyue immediately picked up: "You mean that after Miss Michelle steals something tonight, we can get rid of her?" …… Steal, steal, it's not me who is unlucky anyway, you tell her to finish her life quickly, I don't want to see her again after tonight. ”

An Feng happened to be in the courtroom corridor during the call, and in fifteen minutes Joseph's trial would be over, and then he would lead his team of lawyers to the police station and important witnesses to investigate and collect evidence, and in the evening, the law firm's group banquet would be held as scheduled at a farm near Miss Mittal's villa - the fireworks of Mittal's wedding could be seen from a distance.

An Feng casually dialed Odney's phone, and before the last phone number was dialed, he saw the light of the mobile phone issued by his law firm flashing, and it was Mrs. Samier.

An Feng picked up the phone, he didn't dare to say more, only snorted slightly-by the way, after Audney and Madame Samier "met" in that restaurant, the two went on another date, this time in order to avoid the quiet, the two met in a small town next to the Paris region, and it took four hours to drive back and forth.

Mrs. Samier pretended to be serious on the phone: "Mr. Carlson, I need to make sure, can you be here tonight?" ”

An Feng snorted, and Mrs. Samier immediately lowered her voice and quietly added: "You must come, don't drive your own car, I specially prepared the champagne you like to drink......

Suddenly, Madame Same's voice became serious again, and she continued businessmanlikely: "The farm where the party is going has a swimming pool and a jumping platform, so if you like to play in the water, please remember to bring a bathing suit and toiletries......

Mrs. Sumier lowered her voice again and whispered, "There are more than forty rooms in the farm, and it is not enough to entertain the big lawyers, so I have specially reserved the barn for you." I've checked in advance and the barn is wide enough to put a mattress in no problem. ”

After a pause, Madame Sumier tried to be witty, and said jokingly: "Of course, if you like to roll straw, there is enough straw in the barn to satisfy you—the farmer has just finished his summer harvest, and the barn is full of straw stalks three meters high. ”

No matter what Mrs. Samier said, An Feng replied with a well-hmmed answer, but Mrs. Samiel also understood this situation, and she automatically added a sentence considerately: "I checked just now, you are in the court now, what's the matter?" The argument is not over yet? ”

An Feng finally spoke: "Ten minutes." ”

Mrs. Samiel asked thoughtfully, "After ten minutes, do you have free time to eat?" ”

"I'm going to the police." An Feng said briefly.

Mrs. Samiel sighed and was silent for a moment, then she continued to lower her voice and said on the phone: "I have just checked the schedule of lawyer Joseph, and his schedule is quite full, and you will have to interview witnesses when you are done...... Okay, I'm not bothering you, I'll see you later. ”

As soon as Mrs. Sumier's phone hung up, Odney's call came in, and he spoke equally slightly: "Excuse me, I just overheard your conversation with Mrs. Julien Samier, what do you think?"

An Feng took a deep breath: "Act tonight." ”

Oldney let out a long sigh: "If only there were three of us, Michelle there, no one can control her except you......"

An Feng sighed in his heart: Wronged, it's clear that I can't control her.

Odney continued: "Tonight, we must show up at Wu Xiyue's little girl, supervise Michelle's actions, and take her away afterwards; At the same time, in order to create alibi evidence, you also have to be present at the evening party held by the firm at the same time; Finally, you should at least be present for the actions of the office...... But you can't be in all three places at the same time. ”

"Use the personal flying machine - let Roger bring two flying machines over and pretend to have a solo show for Mittal wedding, and let Argyll, the lizard, and the wildcat take their places."

Oldney immediately responded: "I'll take care of the party - are you sure that none of your acquaintances will show up at the party?" ”

At this moment, the door of the courtroom opened, and the audience sitting in the auditorium began to pour out of the courtroom, An Feng lowered his voice and quickly replied on the phone: "I am sure that lawyer Joseph got the admission ticket, but Helen and Maria did not. ”

Oldney responded briefly: "Okay, start Al+." ”

An Feng installed the mobile phone for talking, this mobile phone is a special encrypted mobile phone, when he installed the phone, he seemed to feel that a gaze was focused on himself, with the help of the figure to disguise, he quickly glanced around, there was no person he was familiar with.

After a pause, the fat woman in the ancient castle noticed An Feng's abnormal movements, and she began to reverse the hidden camera on An Feng's frame to see if there was anyone behind An Feng, and An Feng walked into the trial hall against the flow of people casually. In the hall, lawyer Joseph was shaking hands with the prosecution lawyer, the chief prosecution lawyer was a little sluggish, and the lawyer Joseph was in high spirits, and he knew who the winner of this lawsuit was by looking at his demeanor.

Helen and Maria also had a smile on their faces, they had already packed their papers, and were standing behind Joseph with their briefcases, looking at the opposing lawyer with satisfaction, and showing a triumphant smile.

Seeing An Feng come in, Helen snapped her fingers: "Carlsen, where did you go just now, you didn't see it, Joseph's closing statement is simply amazing." ”

There is also a reason for An Feng to appear in the courtroom corridor, after the closing argument, the jurors have to leave the courtroom, and then squat in the small room to hold a secret ballot, An Feng's duty is to stand in the aisle and watch the jurors enter the small room. The purpose of this is to show the jurors their existence and monitor whether the other party is being ...... Buying or disturbing. The second is to curry favor with the jurors and leave a good impression on the jurors

This kind of work is a little dirty, and once it is exposed, Joseph's lawyer will not please him. So lawyer Joseph didn't let the two female assistants do it in the past, he let An Feng, the newcomer, be responsible - this is probably also a kind of gender discrimination, although An Feng is new, but lawyer Joseph believes in men more, he thinks that men will go further on this road, as for the two female assistants, it is best not to be contaminated with such dirty things.

Because of the secrecy of the lawyer's profession, An Feng didn't have time to answer, lawyer Joseph took the initiative to interrupt to divert everyone's attention, he let go of the hand of the lawyer of the main prosecution, and walked out with great strides, while beckoning his female assistant: "Where are you going to eat lunch, oh, there is a company dinner today, there is no need to hold a celebration for lunch, we still have a bunch of work in the afternoon." ”

An Feng's task today is still the driver, driving the car to lead everyone to the police station, halfway on the way Joseph lawyer told him to stop, he pointed to a burger restaurant on the side of the road and greeted: "Maria, go over and buy a few fast food, we will eat in the car, Sheriff Witt is difficult to deal with." ”

The busy afternoon was finally over, and it was still early to come out of the witness's house, so Joseph generously gave everyone a holiday: "Everyone, there is still enough time for everyone to change their clothes, and everyone should go home." ”

Hearing this, An Feng wanted to continue to be the driver, and he hurriedly waved to stop Helen and Maria: "Mr. Joseph, my car is still parked in the office parking lot, can you drop me off in front of the office."

Joseph groaned for a moment and pointed at Helen: "Okay, Helen send me back?" ”

Helen shook her head distressedly: "Mr. Joseph, let's let Maria go, I don't have a ticket for today's dinner, I made an appointment with another friend." ”

Joseph looked at Maria and asked, "Maria, would you like to accompany me......

He immediately turned his face to An Feng again: "Carlson, in fact, you don't have to worry, you can put me at home first, and then slowly rush to the office parking lot, it's far from the end of work yet, you have enough time to arrange your weekend." ”

Cut, uncle is principled, after tonight, uncle will not serve you.

An Feng had a smile on his face, and refused softly: "Mr. Joseph, I'm sorry, I also have a ticket for tonight." ”

"Impossible—" Maria blurted out, and Joseph had an expression of disbelief on his face, and he expanded along Maria's meaning, "How is it possible, you have only been in the office for less than ten days. ”

An Feng smiled treacherously: "Mr. Joseph, my recommender knows all three funders of the firm, and I may know one of the funders. ”

The expressions of the other three people in the car stiffened slightly, and in the blink of an eye, Lawyer Joseph changed to a respectful expression, and he waved his hand to An Feng in an equal tone: "Okay, hurry up and get your car, you probably need time to change your clothes." Young man, don't worry, there is enough food at the office dinner, and"

Lawyer Joseph winked suggestively, and Maria seemed to be reaching out to pinch Lawyer Joseph in private, while adding sourly: "The patron of this dinner is a jeweler, and I heard that this jeweler invited hundreds of models and a group of second- and third-rate actors......"
