The conference room is located on the top floor of the building and is elegantly decorated.
This conference was held by the city's financial sector. The theme was finance and law. Many big names were present. The original owner was invited to give a speech at the conference, which naturally proved his ability and status. Moreover, in order to show respect to the participants, the height of the podium was lower than the audience seats.
Li Yuebai calmed himself down and walked towards the podium.
After the big scene last time, this kind of thing naturally wouldn't make him nervous at all.
"Sir, your speech..." The waiter handed over a stack of gold-stamped papers.
In fact, this pile of speech manuscripts is completely useless to the original owner.
He had already memorized the entire content of the speech and did not need to look at the script at all.
However, the original author still insisted on having the original owner hold the speech, not for anything else, just to see his hands - because the original owner's hands are very beautiful, slender and with distinct joints. When he holds the speech, the audience can focus their attention on his hands and appreciate them. The author can freely describe how beautiful and elegant these hands are.
The x-article was really too scary... Li Yuebai suddenly had the urge to put his hands in his pockets and hide them.
However, he certainly couldn't act so casually and leisurely. He just shook his head slightly and rejected the speech handed to him by the staff.
Walking to the back of the podium, Li Yuebai glanced at the audience below - the front row of seats was filled with the city's prominent figures, either tycoons or CEOs, and they all looked old. After all, it would be impossible to reach such a social status without accumulated qualifications. However, among such a group of bigwigs, there was a young man sitting very conspicuously.
The young man just sat there quietly, with a faint smile on his lips.
Li Yuebai's heart skipped a beat.
"Host, this is your opponent in this wear, Lin Xie." The system reminded.
"I know."
When Li Yuebai took his first glance, he knew what was going on.
You can tell at first glance that Lin Xie is different from other people. The protagonists in other works have their own halos, but Lin Xie has his own shadow.
The lights in the conference room were very bright, but Lin Xie seemed to be sitting in a dark shadow. There was a strange air pressure within a three-meter radius around him.
Lin Xie's appearance is naturally impeccably handsome, with long black eyelashes. At first glance, he looks a bit like a mixed-race person. His hair is as dark as his eyes and is trimmed very neatly.
The system made it very clear that he was only eighteen years old, and the aggression and aggressiveness of young people were uncontrollably emanating from him. Having grown up in a wealthy family and experienced too many different things, he did not have the simplicity and naivety of his peers. His pair of obsidian eyes were so deep that even Li Yuebai could not tell what he was thinking just from his gaze.
Perhaps noticing Li Yuebai's gaze, Lin Xie raised his eyes and met Li Yuebai's gaze, with the smile on his lips remaining unchanged.
Li Yuebai pretended not to care and avoided it.
Even though alarm bells were ringing in my heart, I had to act as if nothing had happened and remain cool on the outside.
Li Yuebai began his speech. The speech itself was very simple. He only needed to recite the words that the original owner had already prepared. The only thing he had to pay attention to was the following questioning part.
After the speech, Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you have any questions?"
According to the meeting arrangement, the speaker must accept questions from the audience, which is a normal communication.
However, in the original work, Lin Xie used this normal communication link to set a small trap for Wang Han.
He directed a participant and asked a very obscure question.
This question was not within the scope of Wang Hanzhi's research, but it was not unrelated to the law. Wang Hanzhi had no choice but to refuse, "Sorry, I can't answer this question for you."
However, the questioner did not give in and insisted on asking the question because he had received instructions from Lin Xie.
The scene was a little awkward for a moment.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Lin Xie took the initiative to speak up and helped Wang Hanzhi out of the predicament.
Wang Hanzhi may not need his help. After all, this is a meeting, and the meeting cannot be delayed forever by one person's problem. It will always be solved. But since Lin Xie offered to help, Wang Hanzhi owed him a small favor.
When the two met again, Wang Hanzhi couldn't reject Lin Xie's request too harshly because of this small favor. Even if he could guess that this kid was behind it, there was nothing he could do.
A thousand-mile long dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Even if it is just a small detail, Li Yuebai wants to change it.
He glanced at the audience and saw Lin Xie making a barely noticeable gesture.
This is also the Internet age, and it is very convenient to use the Internet to transmit information. I am afraid that Lin Xie has already sent the question via his mobile phone. That gesture was just a command, similar to the breaking of cups as a signal at the Hongmen Banquet, which has a more ceremonial feel.
Immediately, someone in the audience raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Wang, I have a question."
The person who asked the question was also a chaebol kid, and his voice was lazy and unpleasant.
Li Yuebai nodded, indicating that he could speak.
"Lawyer Wang just talked about the laws and regulations related to land ownership and the management issues from the central government to the local governments." The questioner said, "Then I would like to ask, do you think the code promulgated by King Friedrich II of Prussia in the 18th century overthrew the land slavery system?"
The venue was silent for a moment, and then a low laugh broke out.
The bigwigs of the conglomerates also came back to their senses from their speeches and began to relax and chat with each other.
Everyone could hear it - this question was meant to ruin Wang Hanzhi's business.
Who cares about the 18th century, Prussia, these messy issues that have nothing to do with real business? Who knows?
However, after listening to the speech for nearly half an hour, although the content of the speech was exciting enough, the bosses of the consortium were a little tired. Seeing such an interesting scene, they felt that it was a good way to relax.
Therefore, everyone in the conference hall looked at Wang Hanzhi with ambiguous eyes, wanting to see how he would deal with this problem.
If he can't handle it, that would be very interesting. Everyone knows that Lawyer Wang is aloof and no one has ever seen him in a ferocious state. Of course, everyone wants to take a look.
Lin Xie's eyes were indifferent, but the smile on his lips deepened.
He knew that Wang Hanzhi specialized in law, and his knowledge system did not include such unpopular historical research, so of course he could not answer it.
The atmosphere at the scene became very strange. Wang Hanzhi remained quiet on the stage, while the audience became increasingly noisy and idle. The scene was not a good look.
Wang Hanzhi's expression did not change, it was still as cold as ice.
Is he just going to keep silent?
Lin Xie was ready to speak up to help, but he unexpectedly heard Wang Hanzhi's voice.
"This questioner." Li Yuebai said calmly, "The code you just asked about was probably not promulgated by Frederick II himself, but was drafted by his order and promulgated by his successor, right?"
"..." The questioner didn't expect that he would know. He was stunned for a moment and could only perfunctorily say: "Well... yes, that's what I meant."
"I don't know much about this code. If there are any omissions, please correct me." Li Yuebai said: "The Code of Frederick II has its own advancement - it recognizes universal human rights, maintains public peace and security, and protects citizens from violent infringement. On the other hand, it is subject to the productivity of the time. In the 18th century, Prussian farmers were still in hereditary slavery, and this hereditary slavery was still recognized by the code. Therefore, although the code abolished slavery in the true sense, it still recognized hereditary affiliation... Therefore, I believe that the code did not overthrow the land slavery system."
His voice was calm and his tone was even, as if he was answering the most common questions, without any fluctuation.
"..." The questioner was stunned. He was asking the question on Lin Xie's orders and actually had no idea about the issue. After hearing Wang Hanzhi's answer, he was just confused and had no idea how to respond. After a long pause, he could only say, "Okay...Okay! What Lawyer Wang said is indeed...very reasonable..."
Lin Xie's eyes moved slightly.
strangeness.
Could it be that Wang Hanzhi still has secrets that I haven't known?
In fact, Li Yuebai had no knowledge of this code. He just combined Lin Xie's answer in the original work and temporarily used the system to search for some information to organize this answer.
Seeing the questioner pretending to be calm, Li Yuebai smiled in his heart.
The questioner is just a supporting character. There is not much introduction about him in the original work. It only says that he is the son of the Zhao family group and a good friend of Lin Xie. Whenever Lin Xie takes a fancy to a beauty, he will help to get her. He is an accomplice.
Even if he is just an accomplice, he should be punished a little.
"The management style of the Zhao Group has something in common with the Code of Frederick II. Perhaps that's why Mr. Zhao asked this question?" Li Yuebai asked, "The Zhao Group gives every manager sufficient power. The orders issued by managers within their authority must be executed, just like the orders issued by the president himself. This reflects your father's emphasis on the code. Mr. Zhao has been influenced by his family's education since he was young, and I'm afraid he is very familiar with the code. If you don't mind, I would like to ask a few more questions-"
"Well..." Master Zhao was confused and could only put on a fake smile, not knowing how to answer.
The smile on Lin Xie's lips disappeared.
Mr. Zhao sat there restlessly, talking about other things for dozens of seconds before finally waiting for other participants to come and smooth things over.
The meeting ended in such a chaotic atmosphere.
When the meeting ended, night had already fallen. Of course, we couldn't let the participants just leave like that, so we had to hold a cocktail party.
Li Yuebai retreated to the lounge, planning to change his clothes before attending the cocktail party.
As soon as I entered the lounge, I was greeted by a quiet and handsome young man.
"Teacher, I'm sorry I'm late." The boy held the documents obediently, and also brought a huge suitcase with him. Next to the suitcase stood a folding hanger full of various clothes. He apologized repeatedly, "I should have arrived before the teacher's speech, but I was delayed because of processing documents... Fortunately, I didn't miss the cocktail party."
This young man is Wang Hanzhi's assistant, Lu Ming. He is not as young as he looks, he is in his twenties, but he looks younger.
Lu Ming also studied law and worked under Wang Hanzhi. Due to his young age and serious work attitude, he also served as Wang Hanzhi's assistant. He was also responsible for taking care of clothing and external contacts.
"Nothing." Li Yuebai nodded.
"I just saw the teacher's speech on the big screen." Lu Ming's eyes were filled with admiration, and he said, "The teacher answered such a rare question without any problem. The questioner was completely stumped..."
Having just gotten rid of the low pressure of being in the same conference room with Lin Xie, Li Yuebai couldn't help but feel a little relaxed when he saw such a well-behaved and lovely young man.
But when I think of Lu Ming's fate in the original work, I feel very worried.
After all, this is an adult article. In order to meet the needs of readers, the author of adult articles often occasionally inserts some adult scenes of supporting characters. Lu Ming's style is completely different from Wang Hanzhi's, so it is inevitable that he will be YYed by readers and authors.
Li Yuebai recalled the comments below the original work and broke out in a cold sweat again.
“Although I clicked in to see the aloof and cold person, Lu Ming is also a gentle and cute assistant. I hope the author will write about him!”
So the author followed suit and wrote a chapter about it, and included it in the extra chapter at the end.
From the perspective of the plot, it all makes sense. Lu Ming is Wang Hanzhi's assistant, and it is difficult for him to extricate himself from this whole set of events. Naturally, he was dragged into it and was completely taken advantage of by Lin Xie's men.
It would be fine if he just ate the protagonist, but he even didn't let go of the people around him. This is such a beast.
Fortunately, it is still early and everything has a chance to change.
