I haven't been a boss for many years

Zhang Guobin nodded lightly, with a smile on his face: "I spent a lot of effort last night to help you get rid of these five people. Now that the five killers have been arrested, is this favor enough to make a friend?"

Xia Zhaojian had a solemn expression, and asked aloud, "Did Zhang Sheng settle these five people on purpose for me?"

Zhang Guobin smiled and said, "Of course!"

"I think a barrister who respects his teachers will be more respected by the industry and have a better chance of being the president of the Queen's Bar Association, right?"

Xia Zhaojian took a deep breath: "Zhang Sheng wants to help me?"

He smiled again, pushed out the document and said, "Forget it if you help me, I can't be the president of the Bar Association if you help me."

The wrong way.

No matter how hard you try.

Zhang Guobin smiled, and said again: "It's just to make a friend, please don't over-understand Xia Dazhuang."

"Xia Dazhuang, the mandarin duck milk tea you want!" Uncle Fu came over with the milk tea and said.

Chapter 578

The president of the Queen's Bar Association must stand by the British and Hong Kong government, but if there is a mistake, the position of the president of the Bar Association will not be stable.

Xia Zhaojian has the resources of his teacher Dai Zhigang, and it will not be difficult to take the position of the president of the Bar Association in the next ten years, because Pan Wenyi, the vice president who will succeed him, is already in his 60s, and he will be in his [-]s.

Although the position of the president of the Bar Association is for life, which is the same as the qualification of a barrister, personal status must also be considered.

It is impossible for any barrister who dares to have an affair with the Jianghu and mainland forces, and has no chance to become the president of the Bar Association. For example, Jian Zhaolong, a special barrister of the Yihai Group, is just an ordinary member of the Bar Association.

Barristers like Jian Zhaolong, who take all kinds of cases, have very low influence in the Bar Association and belong to the third tier. The second tier are barristers who specialize in cooperating with Hong Kong Island capital, and the first tier are barristers who cooperate with international capital. Dingliu is the barrister who cooperates with the Hong Kong government.

Of course, those who can obtain a barrister's license are from the upper class of society, because there are currently only 67 Queen's Counsel in Hong Kong, that is, barristers who can hold criminal trials in the High Court and defend criminals!

This is a life-saving license. Jian Zhaolong is enough to cover He Yihai, but if he wants to gain influence in the legal and political circles, he needs a more powerful barrister to help him.

The Queen's Bar Association seems to be a non-governmental industry organization, but in fact it has a huge popularity in the society. An organization that specializes in serving the powerful will definitely become the second-class powerful!

This organization will help civilians from time to time, so that civilians can enjoy the justice of the law, and everyone can't guarantee that they will be safe for the rest of their lives.

So everyone is holding barristers in their hands, and let lawyers stand side by side with doctors and policemen, because barristers can save lives just like doctors and policemen!

At the same time, Xiangjiang adopts the British judicial system, with a jury system and precedent system. As a result, the Royal Bar Association may change the results of the precedents and make the precedents a reference for subsequent courts when the Royal Bar Association tries its best to dredge up government relations. To achieve the effect of affecting the law.

Barristers can also boast in court, perform affectionately, win the support of the jury, or when introducing a certain legal clause, "interpret" the clause in the name of the Bar Association, and then choose to "support" or "not support" the clause.

This is a characteristic of the Anglo-American legal system.

The Hong Kong government formulates laws and barristers interpret the laws. When the Bar Association has the power to interpret laws, the association's positions and statements will affect public opinion and politics.

Zhang Guobin knows that the Queen's Bar Association is a haunted house, either a dead ghost or a second devil. Jian Zhaolong is looked down upon by the circle for taking money to serve the Chinese, but he is actually a lawyer with backbone.

It's a pity that in Xiangjiang, you can't get around the legal and political circles. If you have the opportunity, it's best to make friends with barristers.

Xia Zhaojian took a sip of the mandarin duck milk tea and pondered for a while: "Thanks to Mr. Zhang for looking up to me, I have made Mr. Zhang a friend."

"This time I owe Mr. Zhang a favor." He held up the folder and said.

Zhang Guobin still smiled: "Since we are friends, don't talk about arrears. In the future, if you need help, just let me know. Whether it's money or people, I have plenty!"

"Hehe, it's just a favor!" Xia Zhaojian shook his bangs naturally, his whole body was bookish, except for his bald head and suit, which made him look a little cunning.

"A favor!" He gestured with his index finger, mentioned it again, then stood up with the milk tea in his hand, glanced at the business card on the table, and confessed: "You can call if you have something to do."

"The law firm still has a case to work on, so let's take my leave first."

"Goodbye."

"Xia Dazhuang."

Zhang Guobin, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, is gentle and elegant, smiling as he watches people go.

"Brother Bin, this bald man is so shameless, we need his favor?" Li Chenghao opened the curtain, entered the shop, and murmured, "How about I send someone to shave his hair off?"

"Wow!"

"Ahao, this is too cruel!" Zhang Guobin's facial expression was exaggerated.

Li Chenghao smiled and groaned triumphantly.

"A little trick."

"It's not a small trick to squeeze a bald man's hair, but if you wear a hood when you go to court, it won't work." Zhang Guobin drank milk tea and waved his hand: "Forget it."

"The other party doesn't want to get too close to us now, what about in the future?" Zhang Guobin said in a nonchalant tone: "His teacher is dead, and it is not so easy to become the president of the Bar Association."

"Sooner or later, you will ask us for help. If you owe us a favor, that's the beginning."

Li Chenghao took a deep breath: "Hiss!"

"Bingo, you are lending usury."

debt of favor.

But not so good also.

Jianghu companies are still making huge profits!

Xia Zhaojian is essentially a one-time consumable. Once he acts publicly for He Yihai as a barrister, or becomes the president or vice president of some kind, and speaks for He Yihai with his position and authority, Xia Zhaojian's halo will be will fall apart.

Therefore, slowly support Xia Zhaojian to the top, and let people owe more and more debts, and the rewards will get bigger and bigger. Now let Xia Zhaojian do things, he probably won't even appear in court for a single case, and introduce you to another big man. The lawyer is fine.

For some people, it is enough to shine once in a lifetime.

The legal circle is still the place with the most devils in Xiangjiang, don't even think about winning over the entire legal circle, just a few people in the legal circle.

In one sentence - "Xiangjiang's judicial system can remain unchanged, but if the ghost hats on the heads of Xiangjiang judges and lawyers are not removed for a day, the ghosts in their hearts will not change for a day!"

"Boss, I'm hungry, I want a bowl of pork chop rice, no rice!" Li Chenghao shouted.

"Come right away!" Uncle Fu replied.

Zhang Guobin's eyes were strange, and he asked like a fool: "So you like to eat pork chops?"

Li Chenghao touched his nose: "It's time to lose fat, eat less rice."

From Zhang Guobin's observation, his chest muscles seem to be two points bigger. He knows that he often goes out on dates recently, eats indiscriminately, keeps his muscles, and gains weight, so the cup must not become bigger!

However, compared with the previous hard state, it may be Q-bouncing now, so wow.

"Fine!"

"I'm going out to eat some cigarettes." Zhang Guobin stood up while speaking, and the voice of the big brother stood up behind him, and the target boy hurried forward to hand the big brother the phone.

Zhang Guobin didn't expect such a coincidence, nodded to Ahao, picked up the phone, walked out of the restaurant, and lifted the plastic curtain.

"Hey?"

On the other side of the phone, Wen Qiren's voice sounded: "Boss, remember to add more salt to the soup tonight."

"Okay."

"Your favorite abalone soup."

Zhang Guobin stood on the street, took out a cigarette and picked it up, and the younger brother handed over the lighter. He was smoking and talking on the phone, and the brothers dispersed silently.

Wen Qiren smiled and said, "Then see you tonight."

"it is good!"

"See you at Taiping Mountain." Zhang Guobin smiled and picked up the cigarette butt, squinting his eyes, looking forward to it.

night.

Seven thirty.

As the most famous central park in Central, Victoria Peak can overlook the night view of Victoria Harbor from the top of the mountain. There is a mansion in the middle of the mountain, and the Governor's official residence is also in Victoria Peak.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, there are many citizens running and exercising along the road around the mountain. The viewing platform on the top of the mountain is also a frequent place for tourists.

Wen Qiren changed into a white sportswear and running shoes. He was jogging along the road around the mountain. He was unremarkable among the crowd. Three Mercedes cars slowly drove up the Taiping Mountain Road, and one of them stopped beside him and honked the horn. : "Beep!"

Some citizens looked back.

Wen Qiren got into the car with a smile: "Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Guobin sat beside him, crossed his legs, and handed out a bottle of water.

"Thank you."

He unscrewed the lid.

The convoy soon arrived at the half-mountain road section, and came to a residential area. The governor's mansion was surrounded by strict iron fences, surrounded by surveillance cameras and patrolled by uniformed police.

Three cars slowly drove into a house in the corner. In fact, the houses in the middle of the mountain are all a certain distance away, and the concealment is very good. Normal people would not go to the Hong Kong government to hang out.

Wen Qiren thought that the big boss asked him to come to Taiping Mountain to see the scenery, while blowing the wind and chatting. Unexpectedly, after the motorcade entered the mansion, Zhang Guobin stood in front of the door with one hand in his pocket, took out a key and threw it at him: "Look ?”

Wen Qiren caught the key, hooked it with his fingers, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Guobin chuckled and said, "See if your mansion is good!"

Wen Qiren's expression changed suddenly: "Brother Bin!"

Zhang Guobin patted him on the shoulder and explained aloud: "This building used to be the property of the Kadoorie family. However, last year, Kadoorie Hotel lost too much money in the stock market. Mr. Kadoorie sold this building. Mr. Kadoorie and I are Good friend, I just want to help him."

"I actually paid 800 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, and the buying and selling process is completely legal. It is currently registered under the name of an overseas company, and it is entrusted to the Kadoorie Hotel for cleaning. When I have time, I will take my family and children to the house for a vacation and enjoy the scenery. Or entertain guests.”

Wen Qiren was a little moved, but still refused: "In this way, it will be regarded as bribery."

"I know you are a good person. I deleted all the information for you. How could you accept bribes! This building is now a private hotel in name, with a license from the Peninsula. It is a special suite with an internal price of 500 Hong Kong dollars a night. , but, no one will ever be able to order it!"

Zhang Guobin laughed and said, "What's wrong with booking a suite for a few nights on the salary of a superintendent? Could it be that ICAC can still check the accounts of the Peninsula Hotel?"

"You probably won't be able to use the money I saved in your offshore account in 20 years. Now you are at a higher level, and you need a place to talk about things. Who will play with you in coffee shops and tea restaurants all day long? This building That's good, I asked the master to have a good look at Feng Shui."

Wen Qiren felt much more at ease, stepped forward to open the door, and entered the room. The whole building is designed with modern aesthetics, which will not be outdated in 20 years.

When he came to the window sill on the third floor, he saw a dining car on the window sill with cakes on it, and the stars, night sky and harbor outside.

"Boss."

Wen Qiren asked in disbelief.

Zhang Guobin held a cigarette in his mouth and exhaled smoke: "You idiot, have you forgotten your birthday today?"

Chapter 579 The Lonely Brave

"Ah!"

"Birthday?"

The tip of Wen Qiren's nose was a little sour, and he approached the dining car, looking at the cake, candles and the harbor: "I haven't celebrated my birthday for many years."

"Since I got married, I always celebrate my wife and children's birthdays."

two years ago.

Ah Ren also married his girlfriend, but it was a wedding held in the countryside of the New Territories. At that time, all the police officers attended. Zhang Guobin asked someone to bring a red envelope, but he did not go to the wedding.

He patted Ah Ren on the shoulder: "Don't worry!"

"Wife and child belong to you, brothers belong to everyone, brothers will never forget you!"

"Make a wish!"

Ah Ren closed his eyes and silently made a wish, no one knew what wish he had made.

Only the day when it comes true will be revealed.

"call!"

He opened his eyes and blew out the candle.

One of the two brothers was wearing a suit and the other was wearing a sportswear. They each held a plate of cake, scooped it with a spoon, and looked at the distant starry sky.

"Aren."

"What are you calling this afternoon?" Zhang Guobin asked.

In fact, regardless of whether Ah Ren called or not, he would ask Ah Ren out to see the scenery at night. The formalities for the mansion had already been completed, and he waited for an opportunity to hand it over to Ah Ren.

Ah Ren said: "A major event happened to the police force at noon!"

"ICAC took away the Director of Finance and Treasury, Mai Gaoxian, and accused Mai Gaoxian of dereliction of duty and corruption. Now ICAC will fully take over the internal investigation of the police force."
