Qian Zhaoran knew what Xu Hao meant, and he gave two points. The first is to prepare to respond to the lawsuit, including hiring a lawyer, collecting evidence, etc. The second is to communicate with the other party and persuade the other party to withdraw the lawsuit.

In any case, Qian Zhaoran believes that it is better not to file the case, because once the court is opened, the impact will be too great, and whether he wins or loses, Xu Haodong's image will definitely be ruined.

Qian Zhaoran is right, Xu Haodong himself is most worried about this, for an official, a lawsuit is a last resort. Especially for Internet celebrity Xu Haodong, if he loses the lawsuit, he loses everything, and even if he wins the lawsuit, he loses everything.

However, communicating with the other party and persuading the other party to withdraw the lawsuit, Xu Haodong can't do it, in the face of the most naked provocation, he will not choose to retreat or escape, and there is no room for compromise on the issue of principle.

"Old money, is there no other choice?"

Qian Zhaoran said: "You can countersue the other party, sue the other party for framing, sue the other party for bribery, judging from the other party's bribery and the result, at least you can sue the other party for attempted bribery." ”

Xu Haodong's eyes lit up, "Attempted bribery? Can it be established? ”

"Yes, very well." Qian Zhaoran nodded and said: "At present, under the circumstance that the crime of bribery is attempted, there are controversies in legal scholars on the criteria for the crime of bribery that have been completed and attempted, and there are four main theories. The first is the payment theory, which takes the perpetrator's act of paying property as a sign of success, and whether the other party actually accepts the bribe and whether it actually seeks improper benefits for the bribe giver is not asked. The second is the theory of profit-making, and the criterion for the completion of the crime of bribery should be whether the bribe-taker actually seeks improper benefits for the bribe-giver. Third, it is said that when it is considered that the crime of bribery has been completed and attempted, it should be handled in different situations. Where property is paid in advance for the purpose of obtaining improper benefits in the future, whether or not the property is paid is the criterion for distinguishing between completed and attempted; Where improper benefits have already been obtained and then property is paid, whether or not improper benefits have been obtained is to be the criterion for distinguishing between completed and attempted bribery crimes. Fourth, the theory of payment and acceptance holds that the criterion for the completion of the crime of offering bribes should be based on the actual payment of property by the bribe giver, the actual acceptance of property by the bribe-taker, and the invitation of the bribe taker to obtain improper benefits for him, but it does not require that the purpose of obtaining improper benefits must be achieved. Now I agree with the fourth type, what you have encountered is very suitable for the fourth type, so once you countersue, the chance of winning is at least eighty percent. ”

Without waiting for Xu Haodong to answer, Qian Zhaoran said: "Of course, I don't know how much evidence you have to prove the other party's death. So I think there is only one best way, to calm things down and go to the provincial capital to find Deputy Secretary Zeng Xianren. If Deputy Secretary Zeng can come forward and convince his daughter, it will be a big thing and a small thing. If Deputy Secretary Zeng refuses to come forward or support his daughter, then you have no way out, so you can respond to the lawsuit and countersue at the same time. In short, you have to make a quick decision before the matter is stabbed online. ”

Xu Haodong nodded and said, "Old Qian, thank you, that's exactly what I thought myself." ”

Qian Zhaoran said as he got up: "Then I won't delay you." Deputy Secretary Zeng is a more traditional person, and it is said that he is very dismissive of Internet celebrity cadres like you. But on the flip side, he must also be unimpressed by his daughter's behavior, so you can get straight to the point and go straight to the point. There's nothing to be afraid of as a vice governor, you're at the level of a deputy department, only two levels away. ”

In the last sentence, Qian Zhaoran said it with a smile, which made Xu Haodong laugh too.

Laughing and laughing, of course Xu Haodong didn't dare to slack off, and sent Qian Zhaoran away, Xu Haodong summoned Li Zijian, filled out the written leave slip, and entrusted Li Zijian to transfer it to the Municipal Party Committee Office.

Xu Haodong didn't say, Li Zijian didn't ask, Qian Zhaoran, the president of the Municipal Intermediate Court, came and went in a hurry, something must have happened.

His wife Xu Yunjie was elated and accompanied Xu Haodong to the provincial capital, and she was given the important meaning of "returning to her parents' home".

Take a taxi to the train station, take a bullet train to the provincial capital, and then take a taxi to the provincial party committee building, and there is nothing to say all the way.

At half past three in the afternoon, seeing the taxi carrying Xu Yunjie go away, Xu Haodong turned around and walked towards the door of the provincial party committee building.

The building of the provincial party committee is divided into two parts, the front and back are the general office of the provincial party committee, the organization department, the propaganda department, the united front work department and other departments, and the cadres of the organs fill the six-story building. Xu Haodong had to go to the duty room of the office on the first floor first, and make an appointment to register after "verifying his identity" again like at the door. He wanted to see Li Zhihong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Zeng Xianren, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and then Secretary Li, and he had to see if the two leaders were absent and whether they were available.

Although Xu Haodong hardly comes to the provincial capital, and he is only a deputy hall, he is not small, and the comrades in the duty room are very enthusiastic. After checking the schedules of the two leaders, he told Xu Haodong that Deputy Secretary Zeng was meeting guests, and the queue was full, and Secretary Li was holding a forum on united front work, which could not end until at least five o'clock.

Seeing the leader, there is a doorway, in addition to seeing the stitches, you also have to persevere. Xu Haodong knows the doorway, a small deputy hall, no matter how famous you are, you can't meet the leaders of the provincial party committee by calling to make an appointment. Unless it's a big deal, or the leader is looking for you, you have to figure it out for yourself.

Leaving the duty room of the general office, Xu Haodong went straight to the office building of the provincial party committee leaders behind.

The back is also a six-story building, but compared with the office building in front, the office building of the provincial party committee leader seems to be a miniature version. There are six members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee working here, and from the first floor to the sixth floor are the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, the Minister of United Front Work, the Minister of Propaganda, the Minister of Organization, the Deputy Secretary Zeng Xianren, and the Secretary Li Zhihong.

The plainclothes guard stopped Xu Haodong, this master was iron-faced and selfless, and he only recognized the appointment form and did not recognize anyone.

Fortunately, Yang Chuanzhi, deputy secretary general of the provincial party committee, came out of the elevator, he knew Xu Haodong, the last time the Haizhou Municipal Party Committee team was adjusted, he attended the adjustment meeting, Xu Haodong talked to him.

With the help of Yang Chuanzhi, the guards agreed to let him go.

But the guards still had to check the bag, and as soon as they checked, they found Xu Haodong's gun license, and the guards immediately became vigilant, because there were very few leaders who carried guns themselves, let alone a deputy department level.

Yang Chuanzhi was very polite to Xu Haodong, accompanied Xu Haodong, and did not leave immediately.

Xu Haodong came with a gun, and the security check and doorman at the door had temporarily seized his gun, but the guard was serious and responsible, and communicated with the guardhouse at the door with a walkie-talkie for a while, and even asked to go to the public security intranet to check the authenticity of the gun number and gun license.

The cumbersome procedures were finally completed, Xu Haodong thanked Yang Chuanzhi, and after three seconds, he turned around and entered the elevator.

Outside the office of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, there were really five people waiting to be received, and Xu Haodong didn't know any of them. Looking at people and appearances, all official positions will not be smaller than Xu Haodong, there must be one more, one person will give ten minutes, line up honestly, and it will not be his turn today.

Xu Haodong called the secretary outside the door, first revealed his identity, and then told the secretary that Deputy Secretary Zeng's daughter Zeng Lan was in Yunling City, and she might be involved in a case, and he needed to see Deputy Secretary Zeng immediately.

The lie worked. The secretary was in his thirties, and his rank was estimated to be at least the deputy department, and the person with the eyesight said "Please wait" and hurriedly went into the office to report.

A few minutes later, the secretary came out, nodded at Xu Haodong, and made a gesture of please.

Xu Haodong breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, calmed down, pushed the door in, and finally met Zeng Xianren, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.
