Chapter 2243: let go of arrogance (below)

11pm
In a high-end restaurant on the upper floor, Chen Qiao quietly waited for Gary Locke to come over. He could only turn to Gary Gary Locke for this +-9 matter. After all, he had a pretty good relationship with Gary Gary Locke.
Every time there was some conflict between the executive branch and the businessmen, it was Locke who acted as a peacemaker afterwards. The secret executive branch and the businessmen also reached a lot of well-known agreements.
Over the years, many problems have been subtly resolved through Gary Locke. With Gary Locke's reconciliation, the two sides could only take a step back after reaching a tacit understanding. The delicate balance the city has maintained over the years is that of Gary Locke. point made.
So this time, the only person Chen Qiao could rely on was Gary Locke, and Gary Locke also promised to come over when the General Affairs Section was done.
Chen Qiao is still waiting anxiously. He has no way of knowing what his grandson is now. There is no news, and no one dares to tell Chen Qiao about the situation in the public security administration. Chen Qiao has dragged many people to inquire, but it is a pity. It is difficult to answer so far.
This incident has indeed had a relatively large impact on the city, but many media have stopped reporting this incident. Chen Qiao has already greeted several bosses in the press. The matter will calm down soon and will never evolve again. become a big problem.
Chen Qiao believes that as long as the matter is over, it will be calm. As long as the negotiation is carried out slowly, even if the grandson will be sentenced, it will only take a few years to come out, and as long as the compensation is in place, there should be no such case. The problem is that after the lawyers understood the whole process, the conflict between the two parties led to this result, and it was the man who was beaten who did it first.
"It's almost 12 o'clock, Lao Chen."
Zou Yun muttered, Chen Qiao nodded, and he also looked out anxiously, the restaurant was quiet, there were not half a person, and a lot of waiters were standing at the door. Chen Qiao had already wrapped the restaurant directly. .
Time passed by minute by minute, and at 0:40, Gary Locke walked in wearing a windbreaker, and Chen Qiao immediately ordered someone to serve the food.
After Gary Locke sat down, Chen Qiao immediately signaled the bodyguards to leave, and let them bring in the dishes later.
"Master Chief, I'm really sorry, it's so late."
"Hey, Chen Qiao, what exactly did the bodyguards in your family do? A few years ago, your grandson was also fighting with people on the street. Although the situation was different then, because Niya didn't know about it at the time, it was I only came to question me after I found out, I have already helped where I can help, and this time I was caught directly by Niya, I am a little embarrassed."
Chen Qiao got up with the bottle and poured Locke a glass.
"It's not about exonerating Xiao Kai, it's what it should be, it's just some things reported to the Law Office after the arrest of the 5th Division. If these charges are convicted, it will be troublesome. After all, I have warned them. Xiao Kai has kept a low profile."
"Low-key?"
Locke Jiahui sighed and said after taking a sip.
"If he was low-key, he wouldn't find those gangs at the bottom who dared to go directly to Gene's house. I told Gene a lot about this at the time, so it didn't make a big deal."
Chen Qiao nodded and said.
"I have asked him to reflect on that incident at home. He didn't come out until a few days ago, but he really didn't teach Xiao Kai well. Now the whole family is very anxious. My son and daughter are already anxiously looking for someone everywhere. , I also let them go home first. I just ask you to help convey that as long as there is anything our Chen family can do, we are willing to do it. I just hope that the 5th Division can remove intentional homicide and turn it into a conflict when convicted. "
Locke understands what Chen Qiao means. Over the years, Chen Qiao has indeed been a good talker, and Locke has secretly reconciled some differences with the Acting Section, but now it is really difficult for him to handle this matter. It is clear that once she goes to Niya, she will be more rebellious towards that kind of violent guy.
Locke also directly explained the problem, and Chen Qiao looked embarrassed.
"Why don't you go and talk to that little girl, we can unconditionally invest in the construction of agricultural bases in the barrier area."
Locke hesitated. Indeed, only the Angus family and the Phoebes family, including the Su family, have a small investment. If more businessmen cannot participate in this huge proposal, the progress cannot be accelerated, but this It's impossible for a while.
"I can only talk to you for a while, and wait for that guy Niya to calm down."
Locke put down the wine glass, and when the food came, he was already hungry, and Zou Yun, who was on the side, held the wine glass and the three of them chatted and laughed, but just a few minutes after eating, they called after a phone call. It was Michelle. He called and said that the General Affairs Section had an urgent matter and asked him to go back immediately.
Locke had no choice but to take a few quick bites, then drank some wine and left the dining bar. After a few minutes, Locke returned to the general affairs department. As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he saw Michelle waiting for him.
"What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"
"Where have you been?"
Locke said with a smile and scratched his head.
"Didn't I say it before, my friend I haven't seen for a long time, we had a drink together. We originally planned to play a little more tonight. What's the matter?"
"Is it Chen Qiao and the others?"
Michelle's sharp eyes made Locke look a little embarrassed, and at this time Locke hurriedly said.
"It's not what you think."
"Fatty, you'd better not lie to me, or I'll ask someone to ask right now."
Locke was embarrassed, and then Michelle pointed to Capitol Hill, and the two walked up.
"Go upstairs when you're full."
The two went up the stairs, and Locke could only tell the truth. Michelle naturally knew how Locke had been working behind the scenes to reconcile the relationship between the businessmen, the parliamentarians and the executive branch over the years, because he had many old acquaintances in the three parties.
Many things are reconciled really well, and there is no secret bribe-taking transaction, but several parties can reach a consensus.
"What exactly did Chen Qiao say?"
Michelle asked, and Locke thought about it and told Michelle.
"There is no room for reconciliation in this matter, Your Excellency, I hope you can be clear."
Gary Locke was naturally very clear, but he had already agreed to Chen Qiao.
"Although they are very arrogant and think that they have money to solve everything, they still have some contribution to the whole city, and in many previous problems, the Chen family has also worked hard to help."
"Don't praise those things, even without them, the city can still function."
Michelle said, Locke sighed.
"In a few days, I'll finally talk to Nya. If we can't talk, there's nothing we can do."
Michelle nodded.
"If such a breakthrough is opened this time, the chance that I have finally waited for may be forfeited, so I don't think Section Chief Niya will agree. She will use the most severe charges to characterize this case."
Gary Locke swallowed, and the two came to the Congress Square. Michelle overlooked the city below. The city was completely different now. The lights on the periphery were extremely bright, which had formed a sharp contrast with the middle and upper floors. The lights have been connected together, and the lively scene can be seen from every place.
"Such a scene is beautiful, isn't it?"
Locke murmured something, and Michelle hummed. The city's problems have now reached a major turning point. As long as they are handled well, the city will have a bright and infinite future. The people are still members of parliament, and even some businessmen, but in Michele's view, some businessmen like Chen Qiao and the others still look at the changing city with arrogance.
Many businessmen even think that the city is still the same, no matter what, the hustle and bustle at the bottom is only temporary as before, but what they don't know is that this huge force is rolling up everything, making the whole city solidified. cracked.
What surprises Michelle the most now is the barrier area. Originally this was completely opposite to the city, and the powder keg that was most likely to explode due to the rioters in the city was now fully invested in the construction of the city, and they Many people are full of hope.
Over the years, people in the barrier zone have hardly caused any problems when they entered the city. Although there are some, these problems were provoked by the people in the city on their own initiative.
"When can they let go of their arrogance, and the city may usher in the real dawn."
"I hope so."
1am
Le Xiao, who had been tired all day, returned home and saw Jamie watching TV, still in good spirits.
"How's it going?"
Le Xiao looked around to see if Gene still didn't come back, she asked.
"Has Gene been back in the past two days?"
Jamie said with a smile.
"Of course, and he took me around the city for a long time."
Le Xiao immediately pressed his teeth on Jamie's head. He was watching an early childhood education program.
"Go to sleep, kid, sister, I'm going to sleep."
Jamie hummed, feeling sleepy too, he said with a smile.
"Sister Le Xiao, this city is really good."
Le Xiao nodded.
"You'll understand when you're done. You're not going to school in a few days. I'll send you there. As your guardian, I'll be your sister."
Jamie got up and bowed gratefully. Le Xiao patted her on the shoulder, then looked around and took out some food from the refrigerator. After heating, he took a bottle of wine. Jamie looked a little greedy.
"You're not allowed to drink during school, you know?"
Jamie licked his mouth and ran over.
"understood."
Although Jamie still doesn't understand a lot of things, and he doesn't know much about many things, but for Jamie, everything is really good now, so good that Jamie will laugh every day when he wakes up, which is very fresh Everything, plus being able to bask in the sun every day, makes Jamie hopeful every day.
And Jamie thinks Le Xiao is really good, and feels that she has never seen someone like her. Looking at Le Xiao Jamie feels very warm, and the sad things in his heart are slowly fading, He will go back to that country one day, Jamie thought about it carefully, because Gene had also enlightened him, Jamie wanted to go back and do what Fredo didn't do.
"Drink slowly, wine has to be drunk slowly to taste good, kid, you don't know how to drink at all."
Jamie nodded with a smile. It is true that this thing is actually a bit hot to drink. It is different from the mild wine Jamie has drunk before, but it is very comfortable after drinking it. Le Xiao drank it with a smile. , she told Jamie something about her childhood, and Jamie listened with relish.

The door of the room opened, Le Xiao looked at Gene in surprise, and Gene walked in with some food in his hand.
"Sorry, I won't be too busy these days. If you have anything to ask, I will teach you slowly."
Le Xiao stood up happily, Jamie glanced at the two of them and nodded with a smile.
2:35am
In a hotel on the ground floor, Chen Qiao was waiting in the living room of the hotel, surrounded by bodyguards of the Angus family, and soon Avano and Violet came down.
"Sorry for disturbing your rest so late."
"Chen Qiao, it's useless for you to ask us about this matter. After all, my daughter is not obedient at all. Since she was born, she has basically never listened to me and her father."
Chen Qiao also knew that it was difficult, but he had to try anyway. Now is the best time. If it is too late, it will be too late, so Chen Qiao has to do everything possible.
Avano smiled gently, and he turned on the light and shadow screen. This matter is still being discussed, and it seems to be quite serious.
"Although the Acting Division has always had conflicts with the businessmen for many years, I don't think Niya would want to deliberately put some unfounded charges on your grandson. She is probably waiting for something."
Chen Qiao looked at Avano suspiciously.
"Avano, what is it?"
"How do you say it? I saw you go to the hospital with a gift before, and the words you said, I think these words are stimulating the whole incident to develop in a more uncontrollable direction."
Violet also seemed to understand, she smiled helplessly and took a sip of tea.
"It's time to let go of your arrogance and sincerely admit your mistakes, whether it's a failure in education or a failure in handling things, I think if you still admit your mistakes sincerely, there will be improvement, and things will not change. Even worse, if you can't let go of this attitude, I'm afraid this incident will make your grandson never get out of prison, have you forgotten? A lot of things happened before."
Chen Qiao's face became more solemn, and the matter of Hydra was still vivid in his mind. He looked at the light and shadow screen. Some personal media and small media were still reporting this matter freely, and there were voices discussing this matter on the Internet. very much.
"Now is not the time to wait for the wind to calm down and everything will get better. You have to recognize it clearly, Chen Qiao."
After Avano said helplessly, he smiled.
