Zhou Zhenyang took the phone with trembling hands and said hello.
Zhang Xiang smiled and said, "Young Master Zhou, Mr. Yang is my friend and also our firm’s third shareholder. I hope Young Master Zhou can be accommodating and let this matter go. Later, I will host a banquet and invite Mr. Yang and Young Master Zhou to have a drink together. Let’s forget about any unpleasantness. Okay?"
After all, he was a client. It was best to maintain the relationship, and there was no need to ruin the cooperation between both parties.
Therefore, Zhang Xiang decided to use diplomacy before resorting to force.
If Zhou Zhenyang were reasonable, there would be reconciliation.
If he were unreasonable, then they would "resolve it by force."
Zhou Zhenyang tentatively said, "What if I insist you help sue him and Jinying Club?"
Zhang Xiang: "Then I can only refuse! According to our agreent, our firm must handle your company’s legal issues. However, if it’s soone’s personal matter, I have the right to refuse based on the situation. Because Mr. Yang is our third shareholder, I would definitely be his defense lawyer. I don’t think it’s necessary to make the relationship so tense. Mr. Yang hasn’t threatened to do anything to you, which shows he doesn’t intend to make things difficult for you. Why not take a step back and see the bigger picture?"
Zhou Zhenyang: "My company pays you three million annually in service fees, yet you’re unwilling to fight a lawsuit for ? What’s the point of having you?"
Zhang Xiang: "Whether we’re useful or not, your father knows best. Your company has so many troubleso affairs; without our firm’s help, you would have been dragged down by lawsuits long ago. What I’m saying is definitely the best solution. If you’re not convinced, feel free to hire another lawyer. If I lose, the firm will close down, and I, Zhang Xiang, will retire from the legal field. Alright, I’ve said enough. You can decide what to do."
Having said that, Zhang Xiang hung up the phone.
It’s over, BBQ’d. Even Zhang Xiang wants to help Yang Chen, leaving Zhou Zhenyang suddenly lacking confidence.
Of course, he wasn’t entirely at the end of his rope, as he still had a capable father.
Zhou Zhenyang gritted his teeth and took out his phone to call his dad.
When Zhou Xiong heard his son was being bullied, his anger flared up imdiately.
"Who is it?" Zhou Xiong asked.
"He’s a shareholder of Jinying and Jin Hai clubs, as well as Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm’s third shareholder," Zhou Zhenyang replied.
Zhou Xiong was shocked.
Jin Hai and Jinying clubs were already among the most upscale clubs in Hai City, and it was impossible for ordinary people to buy shares.
Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm was even more formidable, with countless people worldwide wanting to invest but being refused, yet Yang Chen beca the third shareholder.
This shows that Yang Chen isn’t only wealthy but also has so special connections, allowing him to buy things others can’t, even with money.
Zhou Xiong, having built a real estate company himself, naturally acts decisively.
Knowing this mysterious tycoon was not to be provoked, he promptly conceded.
"Apologize and reconcile with him imdiately!" Zhou Xiong ordered.
Zhou Zhenyang was dumbfounded.
He intended for his dad to stand up for him but never expected to be asked to apologize and reconcile.
"Dad, am I really your biological son?" Zhou Zhenyang asked.
Zhou Xiong: "Of course! Dad doesn’t want you to be bullied either, but judging from what you said, that person is not simple. He can use money to buy things that others can’t, don’t you think he’s impressive? He didn’t hit or insult you, just wouldn’t let you take his venue, so you might lose so face, but it’s not a big deal! Why do you insist on having Dad protect your dignity by confronting such an enigmatic person?"
Speechless, Zhou Zhenyang couldn’t refute his dad’s logic.
Yet, he still wanted his dad to make an attempt.
"Dad, I’m your son, and I was bullied. If word gets out, it wouldn’t look good for you. I didn’t take his venue for no reason; he deceived Fang Yingqi away, so shouldn’t I put him in his place?" Zhou Zhenyang argued.
If that’s the case, Yang Chen is disrupting their plan to acquire Fang Yingqi’s property.
Zhou Xiong imdiately hung up and called Zhang Xiang.
After knowing Zhou Xiong’s intention, Zhang Xiang advised, "Do you think he’s only a shareholder of our firm and Jinying Club? To my knowledge, he’s also the third shareholder of Longi International Hospital Group, controls Shield Security Group, and owns Baoqing Restaurant, Peninsula Hotel, and even Haisang Financial Mansion. Oh, and he lives in Villa 1 on Lake Heart Island at Binjiang Villa. Do I need to detail his assets further?"
Zhou Xiong was dumbfounded. Can one person achieve all this?
So things aren’t purely obtainable by money.
"No need, no need. I know what to do. Thank you, Lawyer Zhang, for letting know," Zhou Xiong replied quickly.
Zhang Xiang replied with a smile, "I’ve told your son; I’ll host a banquet soday to invite them out for drinks and let things pass. Yet, he insists on taking advantage. Besides, Mr. Yang is low-key and rarely reveals his identity unless required. So, I hope President Zhou keeps my words confidential. Individuals like him likely have significant power behind them. We shouldn’t create trouble for ourselves. Alright?"
"Understood! Understood! Thank you for the warning, Lawyer Zhang, thank you, thank you." Zhou Xiong replied hurriedly, feeling a surge of fear in his heart.
