American TV series Detective's Daily Life

Chuck took Alex away.

Erica, the wife of the other party to the conflict, quickly came over.

"Alex, are you okay?"

Erica expressed concern.

"I'm fine."

Alex smiled bitterly and said: "I just couldn't imagine that this kind of thing would happen. Andrew was actually in a normal state at the time, and there was no problem at all."

"Don't think about it, it's not your fault."

Erica reassured, then glanced at Chuck: "This is not anyone's fault, no one wants it."

"yes."

Alex nodded: "Now we can only give more money to Andrew's family."

"Speaking of giving money, how did I hear that you asked John to pay a huge compensation of US$12 million?"

Erica asked in confusion: "Where does this number come from?"

Alex couldn't help but look at Chuck, and she didn't understand why the number was this.

"The maximum value calculated by the law firm."

Chuck answered: "Do you think there is a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem."

Erica couldn't bear it any longer: "This number is too big. It's too big for the encounter network to support. It's impossible for us to pay the money."

After saying this, he was worried that his tone of voice was too strong and that he would talk to Chuck like her husband did. He quickly looked at Alex and said affectionately: "Alex, you also know that Encounter.com The situation is, it’s not that I don’t want to pay this money, I really don’t have that much money. I have tried my best to keep other people’s jobs. If I have to pay this money, more employees will definitely be fired. By then God knows if a tragedy like Andrew will happen again? You don’t want this, right?”

"Chuck……"

Alex also looked at Chuck worriedly.

"You have money!"

Chuck said calmly: "You have to pay this money and you cannot fire employees for this reason."

"Why?"

Erica finally understood why her husband was so angry. Even she was a little angry when faced with Chuck's attitude: "We have no money!"

"Don't be angry, this is not necessarily a bad thing for you."

Alex had a good impression of Erica, and she didn't want to conflict with each other, so she moved in her heart and gave her meaningful advice.

"..."

Erica watched Alex wink at her, and instantly understood what Alex meant, her face darkened.

Paying such a large amount of money is not necessarily a bad thing, Alex was clearly talking about her previous complaint that her husband had a copy of the real John Foley's Redemption in the Bible.

Well, the logic is that if you have less money, you will have less to redeem those beautiful bitches, right?

"Alex, do you really think a man would wrong his brother for someone else?"

Erica simply pointed it out and sneered: "You are not so naive, are you? It's okay to be bitter to others, but do you think it's possible to be bitter to your own brother?"

"Ah this."

Alex really didn't expect Erica to point this out directly, and was a little caught off guard. At the same time, she felt that Erica's words were reasonable, so she looked at Chuck again hesitantly.

For men, it is true that no one wants to suffer the pain of their own brothers!

Erica felt a little proud when she saw this.

She may not be able to deal with Chuck, but it is still very easy to deal with Alex. As the proprietress of Encounter.com, she naturally stands with her husband on this matter, and it is impossible for her to agree to pay a huge sum of 12 million. compensation.

But compared to her furious husband, who was throwing things everywhere and saying harsh words, she was much calmer. She guessed that there must be a reason why Chuck dared to say this, so she took the initiative to come over to inquire about the news so that she could make the wisest choice.

"You have plenty of money!"

Chuck's attitude did not change at all: "Websites such as X Art Website, which you have a stake in, provide you with a steady stream of cash flow. As long as you are willing, it is not impossible to increase the amount to 12 million US dollars in a short period of time."

Erica's eyes narrowed and she immediately understood Chuck's hint.

Adult websites such as X Art Website are legal businesses in the United States, and compared to other businesses, this business has unique advantages.

It is closely related to the "emperor" of the Three Poison Emperors Gambling Calf, and is highly profitable. What's even better is that it relies on Internet+ to upgrade traditional labor-intensive industries to the Internet industry, which immediately has unlimited room for imagination.

Moreover, it is also somewhat involved in fields such as art, film and television, otherwise it would not be called an art website.

As we all know, the art and film and television industries are full of all kinds of unspeakable operations. High premiums and high valuations are the norm, and sky-high transactions are common.

An industry with unlimited market expansion and unlimited imagination can also achieve unscrupulous high premiums and high valuations. It is highly maneuverable and is particularly suitable for money laundering.

After all, as long as the other end of the computer can't reach death, it will rush to death.

Moreover, many of the website’s film source providers are people who need to launder money.

Think about all the chaos in Eastern Hollywood during its heyday, and if you expand those chaos, you can substitute it into the situation here.

John Foley owns shares in many websites such as X Art Website. If you think about it a little, you will know that he must be inextricably connected with some dark forces.

How can such a person stand up to investigation?

"Are you serious?"

Erica looked at Chuck in disbelief: "You're going to do this just for someone you don't know?"

Offending a billionaire was already a very risky thing, but looking at Chuck like this, he didn't even care about offending the more terrifying dark forces, and all this was just for a dead person he didn't know, which she couldn't understand.

"I don't like change."

Chuck said calmly.

"Hold on."

Seeing that Chuck was serious, Erica hesitated a little, said it, picked up the phone and went out.

"How about forgetting it?"

Alex also guessed that the water here was very deep, and advised: "I know you are trying to make me feel better, but a compensation of 2 million is enough. Don't ask for so much. I will listen to you in the future, too." I’m not going to do this anymore.”

"Don't worry, they'll relent."

Chuck said affirmatively.

"What if they don't?"

Alex said worriedly.

"Then let them relax."

Chuck's face was expressionless: "It's the same sentence, it's already been said, I don't like changes."

After a while, Erica came back with a solemn expression.

"How did he say?"

Alex's heart sank.

"John still doesn't agree."

Erica smiled bitterly and said: "He was so angry this time and felt that he had lost a lot of face. He didn't care at all. He said he was not afraid of Chuck going to investigate because there was nothing to cover up. Even if there was really something wrong inside, he was just He doesn’t know anything about the equity participation, and his team of lawyers are not vegetarians either.”

After saying this, she looked at Chuck: "Look? How about you each take a step back and order less?"

"No, I won't change what I said."

Chuck shook his head: "Maybe he can say that he only participates in a website like X Art Website and doesn't know about other things in it. What about Encounter.com?"

"Encounter network?"

Erica's eyes panicked: "What does this have to do with Encounter.com?"

The profits from websites like X Art Website belong to her husband and have little to do with her, but Enchant.com is her hard work. If there is such a big trouble here, then she can't just watch and smooth things over.

"You really don't know?"

Chuck looked at her.

"What do I know?"

Erica pretended to be calm.

Alex also noticed that something was wrong with Erica's mood. She was wondering what was wrong with the encounter network. Suddenly a thought flashed across her mind, but she remembered Erica talking about the origin of the encounter network. She seemed to understand something, and looked at her in shock. With Erica.

"What is an encounter? An unexpected encounter."

Chuck said: "If there are expectations and preparations in advance, is it still called an encounter? And what is the ultimate form of such an 'encounter'? It is just changing from Internet + to a traditional labor-intensive industry."

Alex showed an expression as if that was indeed the case.

She just had a flash of inspiration and remembered that Erica mentioned her husband's original intention of founding the encounter network, but it was because of 'John Foley's Redemption'. As the founder and senior user, the encounter network has the characteristics of pimping in its genes. .

It was not obvious before that it was covered in the shadow of finding true love for ordinary people, but if you think about it for a moment, isn't there a 'high-end service' for high-end paying customers?

What kind of services do wealthy people like John Foley want?

Then she couldn't help but think about whether Erica knew these things?

She guessed that Erica knew about it, or at least acquiesced.

Because the market environment is not good and large-scale layoffs are required, the good days of finding investors to burn unlimited money are over. In order to keep the website alive, some paid projects must be implemented.

How can ordinary people make as much money as rich people do?

No wonder she saw Erica personally arranging for beautiful female members before, teaching makeup skills, image design, arranging conversation training, and talking about dreams...

"This is a misunderstanding of us from the outside world."

Erica forced a smile and said: "If you do anything, you can find excuses to attack as long as you find fault. We at Yuchunwang are not afraid of this."

This is the truth.

Some housewives have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the encounter network for a long time, and have pointed out the possibility of such operations of the encounter network. However, the results are not painful, but it attracts more people who discover the new world and come to explore it.

"You were indeed not afraid before."

Chuck looked at her: "Because no strong person will challenge you, and you don't need to use any connections. The law firm you hired can solve these troubles alone, but it's different now.

It will be difficult for you to get out of this trouble with a lawyer alone.

But you still have the confidence, because you have a wealth of personal connections, especially through the encounter network, you can quickly accumulate connections that are very beneficial to you. I think this is also Mr. Foley's biggest reliance.

I'm just afraid that when it comes to court, no matter how unfavorable the evidence is to you, the result will be in your favour.

But unfortunately, there are advantages and disadvantages. Once the real evidence of the possibility of such an operation is revealed in the news, under the storm of public opinion, those connections that are conducive to your behind-the-scenes operation will be turned against you one by one to maintain it. With your own image and status, avoid being thought of as your 'high-end paying user' by the public. "

"What solid evidence?"

Erica was shocked.

"I think you should tell your husband this."

Chuck reminded.

Erica was silent, took out her phone and went out again.

"Do you have solid evidence?"

Alex asked.

"No."

Chuck shook his head.

"...Then you still say that?"

Alex was stunned.

"It doesn't matter if you have it or not."

Chuck said: "As long as I check, I can always find out."

"What if they still don't agree?"

Alex twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Then continue."

Chuck said bluntly: "With all their faults, I can always convince them."

"Do you have any other clues?"

Alex looked at Chuck in amazement.

"Too much."

Chuck nodded.

This time, Erica took a long time to come back. As soon as she entered the door, she turned around and wiped her tears.

"Erica."

Alex was startled and hurried over to ask: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine."

Erica wiped away her tears and pretended to be strong, showing Alex a heartbreaking smile: "John and I quarreled again. We may really not be able to get along."

"He's still unwilling to compromise?"

Alex couldn't bear it.

"I asked him to put down his face for the sake of Yuchou.com, but he didn't agree."

Erica said with tears in her eyes: "Yichu.com is everything to me, but for John, it is not. He would rather encounter the collapse of Yichang.com than lose face again."

Having said this, she reached out and grabbed Alex's hand, praying with tears in her eyes: "Alex, do you think this is okay? I will pay 1 million to Andrew's family myself, and this matter will end here." , I also want to take out more, but I really have no money. I own the encounter network, and I can’t watch her go bankrupt... Wuwuwu."

"Erica."

Alex hugged Erica who fell into her arms and cried bitterly, and looked at Chuck with emotion.

"Good acting."

Chuck was unmoved: "But the target was wrongly displayed. If you really care about the future of Encounter.com, then you should put all your acting skills into use for your husband. There are only less than 7 hours until tomorrow."

"..."

Erica looked at Chuck in disbelief. She was like this, but Chuck didn't let go at all. Is there any man's instinct to cherish a woman's beauty?

Isn't she beautiful enough?

"Erica, no one can change Chuck's decision. Otherwise, you should go back and persuade your husband to hurry up."

Alex also felt the firmness of Chuck's attitude, and completely gave up her plan to take a step back, and sincerely advised: "In case someone does the fairy jump... Not everyone is like Pete Florrick. Easy to talk to."

Erica's eyes changed and she looked at Alex.

She really didn't expect Alex to say such implicit threats.

Pete Florrick is the husband of the Good Wife, the former Attorney General of Chicago, and a possible future Meipiao Zong. The reason why he was disgraced some time ago is because he was actively involved in labor-intensive industries and was exposed.

Fortunately, this has nothing to do with Enchou.com.

But imagine that this is related to Xingdu.com, then the problem will be serious. Xingdu.com and her husband's industry are not too big to fail. Once they are involved in a similar big event, there will definitely be no good juice for Xingdu.com and them.

Heart scandals are the least technical but the most useful, because once exposed, it is difficult to prove one's innocence, and it will seriously damage the personal image and family relationships of public figures.

The reason why Peter Florik was able to run again after he came out was because his wife did not divorce like other wives, but instead saved him under the banner of family.

But others may not have such a rational lawyer's wife who knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

Once Xingdu.com is exposed, the revenge that Xingdu.com and their couple may suffer will be unbearable.

However, this is not a fantasy. The encounter network has been in operation till now, and now it is focusing on building high-end paying users. There are already professionals who are eyeing the screened user groups and conducting video extortion.

Not to mention the possible retaliation, even if word of mouth is passed on in this way, how can we earn money from high-end paying customers in the future?

"I'll go back and try to persuade John now!"

Erica could no longer pretend to be pitiful, so she quickly wiped her tears and walked out.

The Foley family estate.

Erica explained all the pros and cons, and repeatedly persuaded her angry husband to compromise: "John, don't be angry, although 12 million is a lot, it won't break our bones, but once we are targeted by the detective Chuck, Just listening to what he said casually makes us unable to bear the possible consequences... Just give it, it will be a charity donation, and you can get a good name."

"...Just give it."

After venting his anger, John Foley finally calmed down a little, gritted his teeth and nodded, with an angry and unwilling look on his face: "Chuck Wolf, I'm not done with you!"

"Don't mess with him."

Erica breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her husband agreed to pay him, and persuaded: "You are not the only one who has had conflicts with him. Female senators, congressmen, billionaires, who is worse than you? Where are they now? ?”

"..."

John Foley was speechless. He watched Erica call Alex and agreed with Chuck's 12 million. After hanging up the phone, he cursed again with dissatisfaction: " This is definitely not over!!!”
