Oh jingle bells, jingle bells.

Jihe way……

The next morning, cheerful tunes were played in the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, and Santa Claus riding a small elk, small bells, and Christmas trees were decorated around the place. The new year arrived as scheduled.

"Good morning, how did you sleep last night?" Xu Jing asked with an ambiguous smile and wink at the dinner table.

Li Zhiyi yawned and sat down: "Well, morning."

"Xiao Qiao, don't you want to have breakfast? I specifically asked for three portions." Xu Jing asked.

Li Zhiyi replied casually: "I called her but didn't answer the phone. She must be still asleep. I'll take it up after eating."

Xu Jingwenyan frowned and realized that things were not simple: "You two weren't last night...Boss, you..."

Li Zhiyi's face turned red when he reacted and he said, "Why didn't I realize that you have a talent for gossip? I can feed you, but you have no work to do today?"

"Yes, yes, I have an appointment with someone from the National Rifle Association for coffee today." Xu Jing replied with a nod like a chicken pecking at rice.

The National Rifle Association, abbreviated as NRA, is the largest pro-gun organization in the United States. Although it is non-partisan, it has a strong influence on American politics and is very willing to participate in politics.

However, Li Zhiyi's purpose in finding them was not to involve politics, he simply wanted to protect his personal safety and rights and prevent Eric from jumping over the wall.

Isn't it normal for an organization with millions of gun-toting members to kill a villain for no reason? In terms of local snobbery, they can be said to be a legal Kongbu organization, and they can no longer be described as involved in gangs.

Li Zhiyi nodded with satisfaction and said he understood: "I'm going to take a leave today. If it's not something particularly important, Alison can arrange it until tomorrow."

"Okay, everything that needs to be done is almost done. There is nothing that requires you to come forward in person." Xu Jing paused and continued gossiping like a village aunt: "Boss, don't be discouraged. Girls have to be coaxed to come. I think you can do it."

of."

Li Zhiyi didn't answer and looked at him sideways: "I saw you danced tango well last night."

"It's not worth mentioning, it's just superficial." Xu Jing said in a reserved manner.

“Can you dance ballet?

"...barely enough."

Li Zhiyi smiled slightly: "Very good, I will dance four little swans for everyone at the celebration banquet later to show off."

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, and then he went back and added that he actually rarely gossiped, but he just felt that boss you and Xiao Qiao were a match made in heaven, and he couldn't help but want to match them up.

Two surnames are married, and a contract is made together. A good relationship will last forever, and the couple will have the same name...

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became. He almost had to read out a marriage certificate or something. In desperation, Li Zhiyi irritably cursed spicy cold skin, picked up breakfast and went back upstairs to eat.

Xu Jing can be regarded as a confidant who has benefited from him and taken beatings for him; and aside from work, the two of them are still friends after getting along for a few months.

So Li Zhiyi really has no way to deal with this gossip, so hiding is the best option. There is no way he will be given four African little swans...

Seeing the little boss walking away, Xu Jing smacked his lips and lamented that the little boss was still too young, how could he be so shy about feelings, and didn't know how to learn to share at all.

Back upstairs, Li Zhiyi knocked on the door of Qiao Yang's room. After a sticky wake-up call, the two of them dressed up and went out for a walk.

Xiao Qiao Bodhisattva traveled thousands of miles to spend Christmas with him. There was no way he could repay the beauty's kindness, so a date like going shopping and watching a movie with him was just what he wanted.

And although Xu Jing is a bit gossipy, he is right, girls have to be coaxed to come.

So Li Zhiyi showed great attentiveness in the next few days, and finally let Qiao Yang stay on his 2-meter king-size bed the night before the first working day after Christmas.

But don't get me wrong, the two of them didn't do anything. Li Zhiyi's smile showed that he was a farmer squatting in the fields looking forward to a good harvest. He just wanted to get up with you.

In addition to personal relationships, work has also reached its harvest season.

Good news came from Heidrick & Struggles. The court accepted the case of Skadden's lawsuit against the police for violent law enforcement. All the actions surrounding Gaopeng were put into place, and the end was coming.

Only Mason has not replied yet, and Li Zhiyi has not asked. If Mason really wants to tie Eric to death, he is willing to make it happen.

"Don't be silly, Xu Jing and the others are waiting for you." Qiao Yang urged as he straightened the hem of his suit.

According to the feedback from Heidrick & Struggles, the Gaopeng team members they secured today will resign en masse, and Li Zhiyi will go downstairs to Eric's company to personally inspect and accept the work.

Li Zhiyi stood in front of the mirror and said with a smile: "Appreciate my peerless appearance."

"You still have the heart to joke, I just like your shameless look."

Seeing Tian and Li Zhiyi rubbing their hair together, Qiao Yang's way of speaking was unconsciously assimilated.

"Turn around." Qiao Yang said, reaching out to straighten his tie. Then he looked around: "Okay, let's go."

"Wait until I come back."

After speaking, Li Zhiyi suppressed his smile and strode out of the room.

Arriving at the hotel lobby, Alison, Xu Jing, and Qiao Silin stood outside the door, all dressed solemnly. The project leader of Heidrick & Struggles and the partners of Cravath Law Firm were all there.

Li Zhiyi nodded slightly as a greeting: "Are you ready?"

"Starting in 20 minutes." Alison replied.

Li Zhiyi walked out first with an expressionless face. Alison and others felt that they were slightly behind by half a body, and swept away everything they passed.

On Monday, December 29, 2008, the stock market opened.

Standard & Poor's, Fitch, and Moody's, the three major credit rating companies, simultaneously downgraded the InnerWs rating of listed stocks to C.

Well-known financial media including the Wall Street Journal also reported that InnerWs Chairman Eric was suspected of malicious selling and was sued by an investor group.

The Skadden Law Firm submitted an indictment to the New York Prosecutor's Office at the same time, along with materials related to reporting Eric's financial crimes.

The stock price crashed 7% at the opening, and INWK, which had a market value of only US$1.5 billion, instantly lost US$100 million in market value.

At the same time, a total of 21 Gaopeng.com core team employees walked into the company and resigned collectively.

"Boss, the police department sent a message that the case has been accepted and the court date has been confirmed. They hope we can help." In the office of the chairman of Gaopeng.com, Eric received a piece of bad news as soon as he arrived at the company.

Eric took a sip of coffee and said indifferently: "How can I help? Although prosecution is not in the plan, I also gave extra money. A deal is a deal, and they can't be greedy."

"Give them another twenty thousand dollars and tell them for me that this is the last time. Don't try to blackmail me."

"Okay, I will warn..."

Before the secretary could finish speaking, the chairman of the employee union suddenly rushed in: "Boss, we are in trouble. Gaopeng's core team is resigning en masse!"

"Walter?"

The union chairman panicked and explained: "They packed up their office items when they arrived at the company, ignored anything they said, and just submitted their resignation reports..."

"Stop, what did you say they were going to do?" Eric thought he heard wrongly.

"Collective resignation."

"Have they got shit in their heads? They just signed a new contract before the holiday?!" Eric couldn't understand why the employees rebelled.

"Yuan Capital is the fault of that Asian monkey. He hired Heidrick and Struggles and Cravath law firms to sue us however we want."
Chapter completed!
