Chapter 836 Invitation (2) (page 13)

Hong Kong.

It’s approaching noon~

Sham Shui Po, at the intersection of Pei Ho Street and Tai Nan Street.

Fuchang Yun Restaurant.

Cui Yingying stood on the side of the street, watching a latest Mercedes-Benz car stop smoothly, then walked up to it and smiled.

"Excuse me, Mr. Liu."

"It doesn't matter, this is what I should do."

Lawyer Liu Haijie, whom Cui Yingying called Mr. Liu, looked around, locked the car door, and followed Cui Yingying into Fuchang Yun Restaurant with his briefcase.

Under a lamppost across the street.

Kanes walked lazily into the sunshine, stretched, and asked Zhou Liwen, the "follower" beside him, in a mixture of English and Cantonese.

"Are you familiar with this lawyer? Is he famous?"

"Yeah~"

Zhou Liwen, who had specially touched his hair with pomade today, glanced around alertly, followed behind Kanes, and whispered in broken English.

"A few years ago, when the Hong Kong police force went on strike, this lawyer Liu Haijie was one of the members of the legal team who filed a lawsuit with the government's Supreme Court on behalf of the police force."

"Litigation? Who are they going to sue?" Karnes asked curiously.

"Uh..." Zhou Liwen grinned slightly awkwardly and said in a lower voice.

"This team of lawyers specially hired by representatives of the police force is mainly responsible for defending people arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (icac)."

"Because since icac was officially established in 74, they have successively detained and prosecuted hundreds of high-ranking police officers suspected of corruption."

"Haha~" Kanes continued feeling funny.

"So in order to get away with it, they spent the money they got from corruption on hiring lawyers?"

"..Yes!"

"What about you? Have you never been sued by icac?"

When Zhou Liwen heard Kanes ask this, his mouth felt a little dry, and he subconsciously bent down to explain.

"One of my former subordinates was turned into a tainted witness by ICAC... and I was also prosecuted."

"But before Sir MacLehose announced amnesty for the police force in 77, I reached some cooperation with icac and was released on bail."

"Oh~" Kanes tilted his head and looked at Zhou Liwen, the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth was hard not to evoke rich associations. .

Zhou Liwen knows that these "stains" on his body cannot be cleaned away, so he might as well be honest~

Before Kanes could ask further questions, he continued: "When I left icac, I returned most of the money I gained from corruption."

"So when I failed to co-open a company, I had no choice but to ask my friends for help and joined Pioneer Security Company."

"Hmm~"

Although Kanes did not fully understand Zhou Liwen's words, he understood that this middle-aged man who likes to put oil on his hair has now been "beaten by reality" to the point where he has lost almost everything, but he still retains the last trace. stubborn". .

"Zhou, let's go~"

"Um...where are we going?"

Karnes crossed his arms in front of his chest, tilted his head and looked at Fu Changyun Restaurant across the street, squinting his eyes and said.

"Don't you know some friends who lend money?"

"Of course we are going to make money!"

"...Okay!" Zhou Liwen opened his mouth to explain a few words, but he forcefully swallowed the words back. With a smile, he led Kanes to his car, and he couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

. . .

Just after Kanes left in the car driven by Zhou Liwen.

Inside Fuchang Yun Restaurant with a "Closed for Business" sign at the door~

Liu Haijie, a well-known barrister in Hong Kong who graduated from Cambridge University Law School, took out several organized documents from the briefcase he carried and put them on the table. He said to Cui Yingying's master Zhang Maochang and his great apprentice Xu Congshan, Said with a smile.

“In 1924, the U.S. government passed the Immigration Act, which imposed strict restrictions on the number of immigrants from Europe, the Caribbean, Asia and the Middle East.”

“It wasn’t until 1965 that the United States abolished laws on racial and cultural restrictions through the Immigration and Nationality Act, and adopted the principles of unrestricted family reunification and occupational orientation, which lowered the threshold for applying for U.S. immigration~”

"When I returned to Hong Kong from the UK, it happened to be that the United States relaxed its immigration policy in 65 and helped many people successfully obtain immigration applications."

“However, although the United States has relaxed its review standards for immigration applications in recent years, there are still many people who want to immigrate every year who are unable to apply successfully and can only resort to Canada or Australia and other countries with lower immigration approval thresholds. "

"Please rest assured that I have confirmed your business cooperation plan with the company in New York through the contact information provided by Ms. Cui Yingying~"

"You only need to sign these legal documents and fill out the application form, and I will complete the rest within two weeks."

"Well..." Mr. Zhang Maochang picked up a legal document in English from the table and handed it to Cui Yingying. He also picked up a translated text and handed it to his disciple Xu Congshan. He looked at Liu Haijie and asked with a smile.

"I am too old to see these small prints clearly..."

"Lawyer Liu, have we... met somewhere?"

"Haha~" Liu Haijie, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, nodded with a smile.

"We did meet at the full moon wedding banquet of President Wang's grandson."

"Oh...I remembered~!"

"You were sitting at Chairman Wang's table, and next to you..." After being "reminded," Mr. Zhang Maochang patted his forehead and said with a "sudden realization" and a smile.

"That's right!" Liu Haijie glanced at Cui Yingying who was carefully reading the documents, and chatted with Mr. Zhang ~

Xu Congshan, who had never been exposed to similar legal documents and had a low academic level, looked at the "Book of Heaven" in his hand while secretly glancing at junior sister Cui Yingying with a guilty conscience, and kicked her under the table.

Cui Yingying, however, acted as if she didn't feel anything. She read the document carefully, asked Lawyer Liu some questions she didn't understand, and then picked up a pen and wrote her name on the last page.

When Zhang Maochang saw her signing, he also smiled and asked his eldest apprentice Xu Congshan to sign the document, and politely thanked Lawyer Liu a few times.

A few minutes later, Lawyer Liu left.

Cui Yingying picked up the few documents he left behind, put them all in front of her senior brother Xu Congshan, and asked Mr. Zhang with a smile.

"Have you really met Lawyer Liu?"

"Yes~ You also know the President Wang he mentioned." Mr. Zhang pointed to the door with a smile and replied.

"Oh..." Cui Yingying recalled carefully for a moment. After thinking of this person, her expression slowly turned cold. She turned to look at her senior brother Xu Congshan and said.

"The business invitation letter from the company may take a few days to arrive..."

"You and Master are both shareholders of this newly registered company. It will be much easier to apply for a passport with the business invitation letter."

"Ok."

"Then when will we tell everyone about this?" Xu Congshan pressed his hands on the document and asked with excitement.
