Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

In fact, Wei Chunlin's administrative level is the same as Liu Fusheng's, so it shouldn't be like this. It's just that he knows very well what Liu Fusheng represents, so keeping a low profile is good for everyone.

Liu Fusheng sat on his desk and said with a smile, "Old Wei, there's no need to be so polite. I dare not give instructions to the High Court. Otherwise, someone will accuse me of exceeding my authority, and I won't be able to bear it."

Wei Chunlin quickly said, "That's an exaggeration. You're the Vice Governor, and we at the High Court are eager for you to guide us on our work. Unfortunately, you're usually very busy, so we can't invite you even if we want to."

Liu Fusheng said with a half-smile, "Does Dean Wei mean that I came here uninvited today?"

Wei Chunlin said repeatedly: "Liu Sheng, please don't make such a joke. What I mean is that I am looking forward to your arrival soon."

Liu Fusheng smiled slightly. He knew Wei Chunlin very well. Although he had done a lot of things for Tang Shaoying in the High Court, this person was not Tang Shaoying's die-hard supporter. Whether on the surface or in private, Wei Chunlin maintained a good relationship with Liu Fusheng. He was the kind of good guy who didn't want to offend anyone.

As soon as they met this time, Liu Fusheng kept asking him questions, also wanting to see whether Wei Chunlin had been hooking up with Tang Shaoying recently.

Wei Chunlin's current performance proves that he is still the same.

Liu Fusheng said, "Old Wei, I like to speak my mind. I came here today because of the lawsuit filed by Jiangtou City Kerr Company with the Provincial High Court. I'm very puzzled as to why your High Court would even accept such a case."

Wei Chunlin had already learned from Tang Shaoying the purpose of Liu Fusheng's visit.

He said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about this matter."

"How do you mean?" Liu Fusheng asked curiously.

Wei Chunlin sighed, "Provincial Governor Liu is a man of few words. I won't hide anything from you. First of all, the amount involved in the Kerr case is huge, and it also involves Fuyun Network. They are both well-known internationally and have a wide range of influence. In this case, the Provincial High Court can accept it at its discretion. In other words, whether to accept it or not is a matter of debate."

"There's a foreign delegation visiting Jiangtou City right now, and the timing is very sensitive. Fuyun Network is one of the key companies they're visiting, which puts us in a difficult position. We can only report this to our superiors..."

Liu Fusheng frowned and said, "You mean, the provincial leaders asked the High Court to accept it?"

Wei Chunlin said, "Yes, the higher-ups are saying that this case involves foreign-funded enterprises and local star companies. If it gets out of hand, the impact will be very negative. They're worried that if the Provincial High Court doesn't take the case, Kerr will react even more drastically, perhaps even escalate internationally and undermine the development of the Chaojiang region."

Liu Fusheng said, "So you took on the case to calm the situation."

Wei Chunlin smiled wryly and said, "Yes, that's the directive from our superiors. I've been troubled by this matter lately. Kerr has been urging the High Court to hear the case, lest they contact the media and publicly question us. The High Court is in a very passive position right now."

Looking at Wei Chunlin's embarrassed expression, Liu Fusheng couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This situation was within his expectations. Wei Chunlin didn't want to offend anyone and would definitely be a fence-sitter.

"Old Wei."

Liu Fusheng said earnestly, "I understand your difficulties better than anyone. The Kerr case is a hot potato. If it's not handled properly, the reputation of the Provincial High Court will definitely be damaged... Let me ask you one question: if the case goes to trial, would you dare rule in favor of Kerr?"

Wei Chunlin laughed dryly, "The courts rely on evidence to make decisions. How can I decide the outcome before the trial? Haha."

Liu Fusheng said, "If the Provincial High Court doesn't rule in favor of Kerr, they will definitely continue to make trouble. Besides, some leaders probably won't be satisfied either."

This sentence hits the nail on the head. If Tang Shaoying wants to use Cole Company to obstruct investment attraction in Chaojiang District, then Cole Company must win the case.

In other words, the Provincial High Court's acceptance of Cole's case was just the beginning. Their subsequent task was to find enough "evidence" to rule in favor of Cole.

Seeing Liu Fusheng had said so much, Wei Chunlin couldn't help but sigh, "Liu Sheng, it's really difficult for us."

Liu Fusheng waved his hand and said, "I understand your difficulties. I just want to ask you, after Cole wins the case, will Fuyun Network appeal? If the Supreme Court reexamines the case and Fuyun Network wins, do you, Old Wei, still want to retire peacefully? This is not only a matter of misjudging a case, but also destroying the national economic environment and the strategic plan formulated by senior leaders!"

"This……"

Wei Chunlin's expression turned even more bitter: "Liu Sheng, I understand what you said, but I don't have any other options."

"Really?" Liu Fusheng said with narrowed eyes.

Wei Chunlin's lips trembled and he shook his head repeatedly.

Liu Fusheng sighed, "Old Wei, you're not being honest. You've worked at the Provincial High Court for so many years, don't you know what to do in this situation?"

Wei Chunlin asked tentatively, "What does Liu Sheng mean?"

Liu Fusheng said calmly, "I don't mean anything by that. I'm just reminding you, as a colleague and friend, of the seriousness of this case. If the Provincial High Court can't hear it, then it's best not to hear it."

With that, Liu Fusheng stood up and walked out the door.

Wei Chunlin quickly followed him and said, "Liu Sheng, please don't leave. At least give me a clear instruction."

Liu Fusheng was at the door. He turned around with a half-smile and said, "I believe you, Old Wei. You understand what I mean. It just depends on whether you are willing to do it."

After saying that, he left Wei Chunlin's office without stopping.

Wei Chunlin stood at the door for a while before returning to his desk and calling Tang Shaoying.

After a few rings, Tang Shaoying asked, "Liu Fusheng left?"

Wei Chunlin said: "Yes, Tang Sheng, before he left, he warned me..."

Wei Chunlin repeated Liu Fusheng's words to Tang Shaoying in detail.

Finally, he added, "I feel that Liu Sheng and you have the same idea."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "I feel the same way. If that's the case, wouldn't you, Old Wei, send it off as a favor?"

Wei Chunlin said with a smile, "Since both of you agree, I will definitely do as you say... I will immediately contact the Jiangtou City Intermediate Court and transfer the Kerr Company case to them for handling."

Tang Shaoying said with satisfaction, "Okay, Dean Wei, you've worked hard during this period. I'll host a banquet at home to thank you someday. However, after the Jiangtou Intermediate Court concludes the trial, if someone appeals to the Provincial High Court..."

Wei Chunlin sighed inwardly and said, "Don't worry. This case has a very bad impact and should not continue to ferment and occupy public resources. When the time comes, our Provincial High Court will definitely reject the appeal and uphold the original verdict."
