Li Mu and Wei Lan set off for Shanghai at noon the next day.
Chen Ze helped Li Mu contact the top person in charge of Wei Jun's case in Shanghai last night. In Chen Ze's words, he alone could decide whether the issues involved in Wei Jun's case should be prosecuted or not.
After the other party heard from Chen Ze that Li Mu wanted to meet him, he agreed without hesitation and took the initiative to host. He arranged a hotel in advance and waited for Li Mu's arrival.
Chen Ze made an appointment for the two of them at 7:30 pm. Li Mu and Wei Lan arrived in Shanghai at 2 pm. As soon as the plane landed, Li Mu and Wei Lan took a car to a high-end apartment in the city center. All the properties of Wei Lan's family were It had been temporarily sealed by the court when it was involved in the case. Only this apartment was preserved because it was Weilan's obvious real estate.
This is a 200-square-meter luxury loft with four bedrooms. The house is very large, and the developer comes with high-end decoration. In the current market, the value is almost over 10 million. When something happened to Wei Lan's family, Wei Lan After Lan was ready to sell the villa in Ziyun Villa in Yanjing, he immediately sold the house, cashed out all the money, and went to the United States. Fortunately, he met Li Mu. Although the villa in Ziyun Villa was given to Li Mu, this house was The house in his hometown has been preserved.
Wei Lan is a girl born and raised in Shanghai, but because she has been working hard in the mall, she has the character and temper of a northern girl. The best thing is that such a girl has two sides with great differences in her bones, and she can be strong when encountering difficulties. However, when it comes to love, Weilan can be as tender as water. In front of Li Mu, Weilan not only brought him a lot of unexpected inspiration, but also made Li Mu experience the unique tenderness of a southern girl.
Li Mu then remembered that he had promised to record "Southern Girl" and give it to Wei Lan, but as soon as he got busy, he couldn't be hired at all.
Li Mu could tell that Wei Lan had been feeling a little nervous all day long. Maybe it was because he had not been to Shanghai for a long time and he felt complicated about returning to his hometown. It could also be because he was nervous about the success or failure of his visit to Shanghai, which was related to Can she reunite with her parents in China
Li Mu could see the worry in Wei Lan's heart. Although this matter had a high chance of success, it was about close relatives after all. Just like an operation with a high success rate, even if the success rate is high, there is still a possibility of failure. , so worry is inevitable.
So Li Mu comforted her and said: "Don't think nonsense. I won't go anywhere in the afternoon. I will just stay here with you. You go out to eat something delicious in the evening. I will be back after eight o'clock. If there is good news, I will be the first to report it." Call and tell you."
Wei Lan nodded lightly and smiled like a child: "I know that the local food in an alley is very delicious. I used to eat there often. I will have a big meal by myself in the evening, so you don't have to worry about me."
After saying that, Wei Lan hesitated for a moment and then said: "If there is any definite news, don't call me immediately to tell me."
Li Mu asked: "Why?"
Wei Lan's eyes flashed brightly, she leaned her head on Li Mu's shoulder, and said softly: "Whether it's good news or bad news, I don't want to be alone when I hear it. No one can hold me and cry." No one can hold a smile."
Li Mu suddenly felt that Weilan at this moment was like a ragdoll cat that had taken off all its defenses, showing the softest belly to the person she trusted the most, not only trusting, but also relying on.
…
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu went out. Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Wei Lan to go out for dinner and promised that she would definitely bring the good news back.
Wei Lan promised, but after Li Mu left, she didn't leave the house even one step.
Whether it is local cuisine or dishes from all over the world, she has no interest or appetite now.
She always had a vague hunch that Li Mu's appearance might not go as smoothly as he imagined.
Although he couldn't explain why he had such a premonition, after thinking about it carefully, Wei Lan felt that many subtle things between people and officials are difficult to guess and predict using common sense. Even if he is the leader of a remote town, if If he doesn't ask for anything, then he may not give him a little face when facing a billionaire. If he gives face, he will definitely ask for something, and he may even open his mouth.
When you ask for something from someone, you must use other conditions to replace the other person. The key person who can control the future of Wei Lan's father is definitely one of the Top 3 in the Shanghai stock market. If he takes this matter to Li Mu Shishi Open your mouth, what should you do
After waiting anxiously for three hours, the phone finally vibrated. Wei Lan was so excited that she got up from the sofa like a reflex and turned around to look for the phone on the sofa. Finally there was news!
A text message from Li Mu.
"returned home?"
"At home." After Wei Lan typed these three words, she wanted to ask how things were going, but she quickly gave up on the idea and sent these three words directly.
"Okay, I'll be there in fifteen minutes, wait for me."
"good."
The remaining fifteen minutes were extremely long for Wei Lan.
Li Mu's words "Wait for me" made Wei Lan guess that Li Mu had solved her father's troubles, but she was not happy at all because she didn't know what price Li Mu had paid to achieve this.
Fifteen minutes later, the doorbell rang. Wei Lan hurriedly stood up and opened the door. Seeing Li Mu with a faint smile in front of her, she bit her lip and asked him awkwardly and nervously: "How's it going?"
Li Mu smiled and said nothing, and suddenly took out a bouquet of flowers with his left hand behind his back. It was a small flower arrangement, with two mini sunflowers in it, paired with some small white chrysanthemums, baby's breath, and unknown flowers. The famous purple flowers are very delicate and beautiful.
"I passed by a flower shop and found a small bouquet of flowers like this, so I bought a bouquet and gave it to you."
Wei Lan happily took the small bouquet of flowers, put it under her nose, smelled it, and asked, "Why do you think of buying me flowers?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "To celebrate."
Wei Lan suddenly raised her head, stared at Li Mu, and asked excitedly and in disbelief: "Everything...is resolved?"
Li Mu nodded: "It's all settled. Give your uncle a call. The prosecutor's office will drop the charges and prosecution against him and let him prepare. He can return to China next week."
Wei Lan was stunned for a few seconds, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes. She threw herself into Li Mu's arms. Thinking back on everything she had done for this matter for so long, she cried out in front of Li Mu for the first time, just like It was the same as when she was in Yanjing, when she hid in the hotel and called her father to tell him that she had given up completely.
Li Mu hugged her, gently rubbed the back of her head and back with his palms, and comforted her: "Stop crying, this is a good thing, you should be happy."
Wei Lan still lay in Li Mu's arms and cried loudly. The long-term pressure and depression were finally completely released at this moment. Her emotions were like a rushing flood, and she couldn't control it at all.
After crying for about a minute, Wei Lan's mood stabilized slightly. She raised her head, looked at Li Mu with red eyes, and said with choked sobs: "Dear, thank you."
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Since you call me dear, why are you so polite to me?"
At this time, Wei Lan remembered what she had been worried about and couldn't help but ask Li Mu: "Did the other party agree to solve this matter and ask you for any conditions?"
Li Mu nodded: "There are three conditions."
"So many?!" Wei Lan asked hurriedly: "What are they?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "The first condition is that he has a daughter studying in the United States. Now he wants to get a PhD in economics from Harvard. He also dreams of getting a Nobel Prize in Economics professor, but this professor every year He only has three doctoral students, and they are only selected from the master students he has taught, and her daughter did not study for her master's degree at Harvard. He knows that I have a close relationship with Harvard, so he hopes that I can help his daughter solve this problem;"
Wei Lan asked in surprise: "How to solve this kind of thing? Harvard is famous for its rigorous academic research..."
Li Mu curled his lips and said with a smile: "I have already taken care of this matter. You think Harvard is rigorous in scholarship, but I called their president, and the president personally coordinated the matter. The professor has already agreed to this year's scholarship If there is an additional doctoral student quota, it will be given to his daughter.”
Wei Lan looked at Li Mu dumbfounded, obviously not expecting that such a thing could be solved by Li Mu with just a phone call.
After coming back to her senses, Wei Lan hurriedly asked: "What about the other two conditions?"
Li Mu said: "The second condition is that he has a nephew who is the child of his biological brother. His brother and his sister-in-law died in an accident ten years ago, so this nephew has been raised by him. This year in Shanghai I am a senior in the acting department of the Municipal Opera Academy. His nephew’s biggest dream is to be an actor, so he really wants to help him realize his dream. He knows that I have a big drama to start filming soon, so I want to get him a role in the movie.”
"Ah?! You also agreed to this!?" Wei Lan knew that "Flying Tigers" has now created a lot of popularity in the East and the West, especially among the Chinese. After that press conference, they were very interested in "Flying Tigers" She has extremely high attention and enthusiasm, and she also knows very well that Li Mu has very high requirements for "Flying Tigers" and is striving for excellence. As soon as the other party opens his mouth, he will ask for a role from the movie he cares about most. If the other party... If the acting is not good, wouldn't it ruin Li Mu's movie? !
Li Mu said nonchalantly: "I told him that the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth male roles are not possible, but we can give him a role with at least three sets of shots and more than three lines of dialogue. , and this character’s identity is also a member of the Flying Tigers, and his image is definitely very positive.”
Wei Lan asked, "Did he agree?"
Li Mu nodded: "I agreed."
Wei Lan asked again: "What about the third condition?"
Li Mulian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The third condition is that after my uncle returns to China, he is not allowed to return to Shanghai to do real estate business. The main pressure for my uncle's trouble this time comes from public opinion. The previous corruption case was in Shanghai The city itself has attracted much attention, and many real estate developers are jealous of your family's Juncheng Real Estate betting on the high-tech zone, so they want to see your family collapse. These people are also watching this case. Although he can resist this But in order not to put too much pressure on him, my uncle should not return to Shanghai to do his old job in the future."
