Chapter 1803
But I also knew that he was just as worried about the safety of the Four Seasons as I was.
Children don’t know how to listen to the outside world, they just do what the adults say, and Four Seasons nodded obediently, “Yes! I know, Uncle! I want to make lots and lots of friends and try to become a little superhero!”
The innocence of a child is the best cleanser of all worries and sorrows, and as soon as Four Seasons smiled, we all relaxed and said nothing more, letting Cheng Junyu take her inside.
This time, so clearly looking at the back of “Teacher Chen” and the four seasons holding hands and walking inside, the heaviness in my heart is not less than the last time.
Shen Yu suddenly leaned over and said confidently, “Don’t worry, I’ve arranged teaching assistants for Cheng Jun Yu to ensure that at no time will he have the opportunity to be alone with the Four Seasons.”
I was finally relieved when he said this.
……
After Qin Baiwan’s lawsuit started, it received a lot of media attention, there were reporters squatting outside the courthouse all the time, and in the courtroom, there were also a lot more people listening in.
I was a little surprised to see Han Zaiyu standing in the defendant’s attorney’s seat, as he had just received his bar card and was fighting for a business tycoon like Zhao Shuang, which is a great honor for a new lawyer to have his strength confirmed.
However, even though Han Zaiyu defended the case vigorously, he was unable to take advantage of Lu Wenfei in the face of countless realistic evidence.
The first trial ruled that Zhao’s Investment and Finance Company had to pay Qin Baiwan 80% of the money he had contributed, which was 160 million yuan.
When he came out of the courtroom, Qin Baiwan, seeing that he had a good chance of winning the case, went out to celebrate by treating himself to a meal, when Han Zaiyu caught up with us with his assistant.
“Is there something wrong, Counselor Han? As a lawyer you should know that private access to witnesses is grounds for me to ask for your defence to be disqualified.” Lu Wenfei was eloquent in court and not to be messed with in private.
“Of course I know this, but it shouldn’t be considered a foul for me to talk to Miss Shen.” Han Jae-woo said.
What do we have to talk about as opponents when the game is already lost?
Although I didn’t know what Han Jae-woo was selling, I agreed and went to the adjacent pantry alone with him.
“Just say what you have to say, Lawyer Han.” If I wanted me to instruct Lu Wenfei to show mercy, it was non-negotiable.
“Miss Shen is as forthcoming as ever, in that case, then I won’t beat around the bush, my client, that is, Mr. Zhao, hopes that you can persuade Mr. Qin to drop the charges and settle privately instead, and as for the amount of compensation, Mr. Zhao has said that it can be changed to two hundred million, as it were.”
Hearing him say that, I was a bit puzzled, before I was still indifferent to Qin Baiwan, and then I turned my head and wanted to settle the case privately, what kind of calculations were these people playing?
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Han Zaiyu took a deep breath and went on to explain, “The Zhao family and the Qin family, are both prestigious families in the capital, there is no need to tear your face off over a mere 200 million, Mr. Zhao also said that in the future, Mr. Qin’s investment will give the maximum return, so, I wonder if Miss Shen is satisfied?”
“You’re asking me?” I played dumb and said, “Lawyer Han, you are probably confused, the plaintiff of this lawsuit is Qin Baiwan, I am only the assistant of the acting lawyer, I am afraid I can’t be of much help.”
Han Zaiyu probably didn’t expect me to be so uncooperative, his brow furrowed, a little upset, “Miss Shen, don’t joke with me, no law firm in the whole capital dares to take this lawsuit, your law firm took it, so you can see that the root of the problem, with Mr. Qin, has little to do with it.”
Chapter1804
Han Zaiyu, a small trainee lawyer, was not qualified to make decisions on his own, so needless to say, Zhao Shuang must have given the order.
Before the lawsuit was formally filed, Zhao Shuang had his nose in the air, seeing that Qin Baiwan had no connections and no status in the capital, and knowing that he was in the wrong, he wanted to bully him and force him to eat this dumb loss.
Unfortunately, as Han Jae-woo had predicted, neither Qin Baiwan nor I were in it for the money.
I smiled down and deliberately looked away, “I didn’t expect that, lawyer Han, you and I were contemporaries, colleagues, and now my first lawsuit is against you, so this is probably fate, don’t you think?”
Han Zaiyu’s face changed and he continued to try to persuade me, “Miss Shen, we can talk about personal matters later during working hours, I don’t know if the terms I proposed just now will work or not, can you give me an accurate answer so that both sides can move forward with the work afterwards, what do you think?”
Han Jae Woo was still so impersonal.
Pursing my lips, I lifted my foot and swept past him, heading out the door, “If you want peace, you should have the attitude of a peacemaker, get the person behind you to come in person, or else there will be no negotiation.”
Lu Wenfei and Qin Baiwan were worried that something had happened to me and had been guarding the entrance to the building, and when they saw me come out, they immediately greeted me.
“How is it Miss Shen, the Zhao family didn’t give you a hard time, did they?” Qin Baiwan said earnestly.
Just as he finished his words, Han Zaiyu came out of the pantry with a dark face, passed us, nodded an expressionless greeting, and then left without looking back.
“The one defending that woman is no good either.” Qin Baiwan spat as he stared at his back.
I tugged helplessly at the corner of my mouth, “As it happens, I just rejected that bad thing’s request for reconciliation on your behalf, Mr. Qin won’t blame me for overstepping my bounds, will he?”
“Of course not!” Qin Baiwan said with a smile, “I can’t thank you enough for being willing to take it out for me, and naturally, you will be the ones to decide everything else.”
“That’s good.” I nodded and told the truth, “The defence lawyer said that he could return the 200 million in full on the condition that we withdraw the case, which I had just refused on his behalf and said that there would never be a settlement unless Zhao Shuang personally came out to apologise.”
“Forty million more, Zhao Shuang is being generous.” Lu Wenfei teased.
“That’s a small amount of money! It’s not as gratifying as getting rid of this anger! Miss Shen understands my heart!” Qin Baiwan was so happy that his eyes glowed, “Today is so happy, I must be the host, no one is welcome, let’s celebrate!”
With that, Qin Baiwan took out his gold-encrusted mobile phone and called his men, instructing with a big belly, “Immediately, go and book the biggest private room in the Golden Tripod, ask the manager to open a bottle of the most expensive red wine to wake up first, I will bring my men to …… in fifteen minutes.”
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not really interested in the actual money, but they are not the same as those who are really full of money, but they are sincere and they know how to repay.
……
While the heat of Betcoin continues, the lawsuit between Qin and Zhao has jumped to become a big dark horse in the hot search, and everyone is waiting for the final court verdict.
One part, expecting to see the fantastical reversal of the burgeoning war god of the business world, and the other part, longing for the scene of the number one female powerhouse in the capital bending low and doing small, bowing her head and admitting her mistakes, all for no innocent purpose but to put Zhao Shuang and her investment company on the map.
