Chapter 797 An Unexpected Counterattack Arrives

Are you arguing?
Good thing!

After Ma Fu got the news, he happily drank all the tea in the cup, gave the waiter a red envelope, paid the bill and left.

Now is not the best time to have direct contact with the special envoys. In the next few days, I will follow them to experience the Cantonese food journey.

This "delicious" "dish" has just been made, and the heat is not quite enough. When it finally "shows its sharpness", it is the best time to take action personally.

When he thought about the reward that Chu Yunfeng promised him after this was accomplished, Ma Fu felt extremely excited. Those were some super classic traditional Sichuan dishes!
Be sure to add red oil to taste.
Back in Rongcheng, after the dinner, Lei Yuzhe and Zhu Ting came to the store, expressed their gratitude to Chu Yunfeng again, and then left hand in hand.

Then Chu Yunfeng took Chu Yue home. As soon as he came to the gate, he saw his mother who had just arrived home, with a trace of exhaustion on her face.

"Mom, why did you come back just now? Have you been in a meeting until now?"

Chu Yue immediately stepped forward to take the bag from her mother's hand. After passing it, it felt quite heavy and she didn't know what was inside.

"The meeting ended an hour ago. I just went to get something. How was the dinner tonight? Did it go well?"

The fatigue on Mr. Xia's face was mostly caused by mental fatigue. After a day of meetings, it was a torment for everyone.

"It's not bad. I met a couple who proposed and they succeeded. It looks quite touching. Come on, come in and I'll give you a squeeze on your shoulders and relax."

Seeing that Chu Yue was as sticky as a brown candy, Chu Yunfeng had no choice but to move the bag in her hand and open the door by the way.

"Put that bag directly in the kitchen. I'll rest for a while and tell you something. Then I'll go to the kitchen and teach you how to cook."

As soon as he entered the door, Mr. Xia shook his neck, and there was a clicking sound. He did not forget to give instructions. It seemed that he was very concerned about the contents of the bag.

Chu Yunfeng noticed an unusual smell as soon as he heard his mother's words. Could this bag be filled with ingredients?
And it’s so late and you still have to teach yourself how to cook?
Didn't we agree yesterday that we would do it two days later?

Why did the time suddenly change?

Chu Yunfeng suddenly had a lot of questions in his mind, but he still endured his curiosity and put his pocket in the kitchen first. He originally wanted to go to the living room to squeeze his mother's shoulders right away.

But his curiosity stopped him. He still wanted to see what ingredients were in the bag first, so as to guess what kind of dish it was?

"Chu Yue, pour some water for mom, I'll be right over."

After instructing Chu Yue in a louder voice, Chu Yunfeng opened the bag. However, after taking a look, Chu Yunfeng instantly became confused.

Tofu?

And it’s bile water tofu!
Catfish?

mushroom?

Ham?
Magnolia slices?
Chicken fillet?

The ingredients were taken out one after another, which indeed made Chu Yunfeng more and more confused.

Judging from the current types of ingredients, it is obvious that these are just ingredients for making a tofu and catfish soup. There is nothing outstanding about it.

Tofu and catfish soup seems to be a very simple dish, and it is also a dish that is often made at home. It is simple to make, nutritious to eat, and is very popular with everyone.

So this reveals a very strange phenomenon. It is impossible for my mother to teach me how to make such a simple dish. So what is the problem?
Could it be possible to make an unusual dish using these ingredients?

And it’s a traditional Sichuan dish, the best kind?
If this were not the case, my mother would not solemnly come to teach me how to cook tonight, and she would also buy the ingredients herself.

What kind of dish is it?

With deep confusion and curiosity, Chu Yunfeng walked towards the living room. When he saw his mother talking to Chu Yue, the look on Chu Yue's face was very excited.

He put his hands on his mother's shoulders and started kneading with just the right amount of force. He immediately heard his mother scream in relief. It seemed that his technique was pretty good.

"Brother, mom is going to the United States tomorrow. As promised, it will take a week."

Chu Yue seemed to be very reluctant to part with her, with tears welling up in her eyes.

leave tomorrow?

Chu Yunfeng's hand that was rubbing his shoulders froze immediately. After a pause of about 5 seconds, he started moving again.

"Didn't you say you would stay a few more days before? Why did you change the time all of a sudden?"

When he heard the news just now, Chu Yunfeng immediately felt a strong feeling of reluctance in his heart, and his heartbeat accelerated a lot.

Mr. Xia closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfortable feeling of relaxation on his shoulders. He sighed softly and said, "Today is Chu Yue's first day at work. You should have a general idea of ​​the company's situation, right?

This time, the domestic company has undergone a lot of changes, and I should have stayed longer before leaving, but the matters in the United States are more urgent and need to be dealt with immediately. "

After Mr. Xia said this, he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. It seemed that things there were quite difficult.

"Is it related to Tianyao Group?"

Chu Yunfeng immediately guessed that there was such a big conflict with them in Xingchen before, and it was impossible for the other party to expose the matter so easily.

"Yes, I won't hide it from you. This time, things may be a little troublesome, involving food safety issues. If you don't handle it well, you will face huge fines.

It is possible for the company to be directly punished and go bankrupt.

It is a branch under the head office. The person in charge illegally sold horsemeat as beef to Tianyao Group. It is not yet known whether the person in charge was bribed or framed.

But I suspect that this matter may have always existed, but it was exposed by Tianyao Group at this time. It was really deliberate. "

Mr. Xia took a deep breath and revealed his helplessness. Food safety is very strict and taken seriously abroad.

"No way, how could it be so serious? It's just a matter of confusing the meat. Is it so serious?
Eating gutter oil here is just a fine. If you eat beef instead of horse meat, maybe the customers will laugh and say that horse meat is better than beef! "

When Chu Yue heard that he would face such severe consequences, he was frightened on the spot and asked questions quickly.

Chu Yunfeng, on the other hand, considered things more comprehensively, and continued to hold his hand steady. Although he was very worried, he did not have any panic.

The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. As long as it does not involve my mother's life and safety, then the rest is not a big deal.

So Chu Yunfeng first asked: "If it's just a fine, will the person in charge face punishment?"

"At the moment, I won't be involved for the time being, but what I'm most worried about is that if the other party's setup is too sophisticated, it will be very troublesome if no evidence can be found."

Mr. Xia's words made Chu Yunfeng frown deeply. This uncertain matter was still very risky.

"Mom, dear mom, then don't go. If you have anything to do, just let others handle it, or let a lawyer come forward?

What if you get arrested by them after you go?How can we help you when you are so far away?

By the way, have you told Dad about this, let him think of a way quickly, and find a relationship? "

Chu Yue was obviously frightened by what Mr. Xia said, and then she understood why there was such a long meeting today, and why Xiaolu would let herself do things alone.

"Your dad? Forget it, we have just kicked out his relatives. It's good that they don't hate me. Do you still want to wait for them to help me?

Besides, your dad is now in a semi-retired state, and I don't want him to be affected. Besides, they can't help with this matter. Capital and the law have the final say.

What's more difficult now is that Tianyao Group has hired several gold medal lawyers in advance and has given some big law firms a sum of funds, which makes us very passive.

Good lawyers are very important in a lawsuit. The most critical thing at the moment is that it is very likely that the lawyer we want to hire has already been hired by them in advance.

Moreover, they have very close relationships with these big law firms. Our chances of hiring a gold medal lawyer are slim and we will lose at the starting line. "

Mr. Xia gently touched Chu Yue's head and said softly.

"Is this troublesome? I have an acquaintance in the United States who should be able to help."

Chu Yunfeng had been quickly judging the difficulty of the whole matter. After hearing about the law, he suddenly thought of a person. Having him come forward should make him feel more at ease.

"Oh, I didn't expect that you have acquaintances in the United States who can help?
This is going to be a lawsuit, right? "

Mr. Xia was a little surprised by the acquaintances Chu Yunfeng mentioned. Generally speaking, in this kind of country, the law serves money, so who could Chu Yunfeng know?

"Mr. Wei's son opened a law firm there. He is said to be very powerful. His name is Wei Tingguang. Have you heard of it?"

Chu Yunfeng still has his WeChat account here, and I often see him posting some consulting matters related to foreign laws, etc., and he is also responsible for the videos of his overseas YouTube videos.

"Wei Tingguang?

How could you not know Mr. Wei's son? He used to live in the same compound as your father, but I heard that he went abroad a long time ago, and we haven't seen each other for many years.

What's the name of his law firm? "

"It seems to be called Clark International Law Firm. The name sounds a bit strange!"

"Clark? Are you sure?"

Seeing Chu Yunfeng nod his head, Mr. Xia immediately laughed: "It's a very famous law firm in New York, but I didn't expect it to be opened by him. I heard that it won a big lawsuit some time ago. , his law firm also has many Chinese people.

If this is the case, then Mom will be more relieved. You don't know that Mom is heartbroken just because of the lawyer's matter today.

They are among the law firms we discussed and contacted today, so you can rest assured now. "

It was obvious that this news made Mr. Xia relax all over. Chu Yunfeng could clearly feel that the muscles on her shoulders had relaxed a lot.

It seems that my mother has always been in a nervous state before, but she just hid it well so that she and Chu Yue didn't find out.

The rest was easy. Chu Yunfeng immediately took out his mobile phone, found Wei Tingguang directly, and then clicked on the video call.

It was daytime in the United States at this time, and the video was quickly connected.

"Xiao Chu?"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in the video with a warm smile on his face.

"Brother Wei, I have something urgent to ask for your help. This is my mother. She has encountered a little lawsuit with you and needs your help!"

After Chu Yunfeng said hello, he sat next to Mr. Xia and let her appear in the camera.

"Mr. Xia? Why is it you?

Xiaochu is your son? "

The moment Wei Tingguang saw Mr. Xia, he immediately stood up from his chair and couldn't believe what he saw.

"Tingguang, it's been a long time. The company has encountered something, a case related to food safety. I wonder if you can be busy over there?"

Mr. Xia waved his hand and said hello. After not seeing each other for many years, Wei Tingguang still recognized Mr. Xia at a glance.

"Could it be the case related to Tianyao Group?"

Wei Tingguang actually said it in one breath. It seems that this matter has spread in the circle.

Sure enough!

Seeing Wei Tingguang's reaction, Chu Yunfeng was even more convinced that he had found the right person. It seemed that Tianyao Group's behavior of spreading rumors and creating a lot of publicity had caused an uproar in the circle.

"Yes, it seems that you have also heard about it, so if this case comes to you, will you take it?"

Mr. Xia stared at Wei Tingguang slightly nervously, wanting to know his attitude immediately.

After all, Tianyao Group has a very good relationship with those well-known law firms, and if you pay for it, others will definitely not accept it if you hire top lawyers from those law firms.

This is the trickiest part, so how will Wei Tingguang choose?
"Take it, why don't you answer it?

How could I refuse something that would make me money?

Besides, Xiao Chu helped me so much last time, and I didn’t even have a chance to thank him properly.

I know a little bit about the case. Please ask someone to send you the information for the specific matters. I’ll give you a 5% discount on the lawyer’s fees this time. I’m grateful for Xiao Chu’s help. "

Wei Tingguang's words made Mr. Xia very surprised. A few days ago, I heard the old man talk about Chu Yunfeng cooking for Mr. Wei. I didn't expect that he would give such a big thank you in return?
You actually want to reward him with a 5% discount on the lawyer's fees?
Don't underestimate the 5% discount. After the case is accepted, the lawyer's fee will be at least 8 figures, and may reach 9 figures. After all, a lawsuit with Tianyao cannot be resolved in a day or two.

"Brother Wei, why are you so embarrassed?"

Before Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, Mr. Xia slapped him: "What do you call Brother Wei? You want to call me Uncle Wei!"

"Haha, whatever you say, it's good to call me Brother Wei. Uncle Wei calls me old. By the way, I have to congratulate you. The reunion of mother and child is worth celebrating.

Is it a recent thing? "

"Yes, just a few days ago, we had a conflict with Tianyao Group because of this matter. I will fly over tomorrow and we will meet to discuss the details then."

Mr. Xia happily touched Chu Yunfeng's head and responded.

"OK, let's meet and talk in detail. Xiao Chu, come over and have some fun when you have time. The barbecue I make is very good. Come and try my craftsmanship then."

After the video ended, Chu Yunfeng asked in confusion: "Mom, what is a barbecue?"

Mr. Xia chuckled: "You didn't know you agreed so quickly just now? Barbecue is a barbecue, an American outdoor barbecue."

"We're done talking about barbecue. Mu Qing isn't here, so it sounds difficult without a translator."

Pa~!

As soon as Chu Yunfeng finished speaking, he was patted by Mr. Xia, then stood up and said, "Let's go, I will teach you how to make a very awesome dish. I will fly over tomorrow morning."

"Isn't it just catfish stewed with tofu?"

Chu Yunfeng touched the patted head and said jokingly.

Pa~!

There was another loud sound, a little heavier than the one just now, which made Chu Yue couldn't help but laugh.

"Pocket tofu, have you heard of it? Forget it if you don't want to learn, I won't teach you anymore!"

"Pocket tofu? Learn it, you must learn it!"

When Chu Yunfeng heard these four words, he immediately stepped forward to hold his mother who was deliberately going back to the bedroom, and quickly pulled her into the kitchen.
