"We each take a step back and understand each other, at the same time."
Before Luo Bin could finish speaking, Mai Fei, who was sitting next to him, immediately refused:
"We will not retreat, not even half a step!"
Hearing what Mai Fei said, Luo Bin glanced at Wu Meiwei, who was slightly dazed, then looked back at the expressionless Mai Fei and smiled:
"Mai Mai, shouldn't you have a serious discussion with your client, Ms. Wu, and listen to her opinion?"
Mai Fei looked at Luo Bin and said expressionlessly:
"No, we don't accept settlement. Let's see you in court!"
Hearing that Mai Fei was unwilling to accept the settlement condition of eight million yuan, Wu Meiwei couldn't help but gently pulled him and reminded him in a low voice:
"Ma Fei, what are you talking about? Eight million?"
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong, Wu Meiwei, and Mai Fei, who was always expressionless, Luo Bin said in a funny tone:
"Who among you has the final say?"
As soon as Luo Bin finished speaking, Mai Fei said on his own initiative:
"I am a lawyer and I have the final say!"
Hearing what Mai Fei said, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but glance at him. This novice lawyer's level was really not that good. Not only was Luo Bin overpowering him in everything, he also liked to act on his own terms and put his own personal emotions before the wishes of his clients.
In the previous chapter, Wu Meiwei was obviously very satisfied with the settlement conditions that Luo Bin had agreed to, but he actually objected. It was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Luo Bin and wanted to win over Luo Bin through Wu Meiwei's case, but he did not consider the interests of the parties involved.
Opinion, even if he really wins the lawsuit, the court will not be able to order Ren Xiaonian's company to compensate Wu Meiwei 8 million yuan. In this intellectual property case, as long as the party Wu Meiwei is willing to accept 8 million yuan in compensation, it will be a win-win situation.
In this situation, Ren's Fashion has avoided a lawsuit, and Wu Meiwei can also achieve instant wealth and a compensation of 8 million yuan. She, a young girl from Beijing, may never earn so much money in her life, so why should she?
Are you fighting to the death with Ren's fashion?
Just when Yuan Xudong was about to express his opinion, Dai Xi came over from the counter not far away and said:
"We are willing to accept settlement. The infringed works were painted by Meiwei. Naturally, Meiwei has the final say in this case!"
Hearing Dai Xi's voice, Yuan Xudong and others all looked at her. Mai Fei was even more overwhelmed by the anger in his heart. He spoke indiscriminately to Dai Xi who was walking over:
"Dai Xi, can you please stay less involved in my cases from now on? Who is the lawyer, or am I the lawyer?"
"No, what's going on now?"
Seeing Mai Fei getting angry at Dai Xi, Wu Meiwei was a little confused and said:
"We had a good discussion, why are we still quarreling? Has the discussion collapsed?"
After glancing at Wu Meiwei, Dai Xi looked at the angry Mai Fei. He didn't know what kind of grievances and hatred Mai Fei suffered when he was interning with Luo Bin, which made him hate Luo Bin very much. This kind of hatred even
It had begun to affect his sanity. Dai Xi didn't want to argue with him, but said in a calm voice:
"I think this is a win-win situation!"
Hearing what Dai Xi said, Mai Fei was unconvinced and said:
"They are destined to lose, so why should we win-win with them?"
Unexpectedly, Mai Fei would say such childish and irresponsible words. Dai Xi patiently explained:
"Because litigating a lawsuit is a very cost-effective thing. It's not like you don't know what's going on with Meiwei. She doesn't have a regular job. Her works are meant to be sold. Eight million is really not a small number.
Since Luo Bin and the others agree to reconcile"
Hearing Dai Xi mention Luo Bin's name, Mai Fei couldn't help but said angrily:
"Why did you suddenly speak for him?"
"I didn't speak for him. I really think this settlement is very sincere. Meiwei needs this compensation!"
"This is the hole he dug. You two fell into his trap!"
"I didn't fall into his trap. Isn't Meiwei filing this lawsuit just to get compensation?"
"This is different. If you win a lawsuit, it's called compensation, but yours is called bribery and compromise!"
"Will we definitely win the lawsuit? Even if we win, will the court order Ren Xiaonian's company to pay Meiwei 8 million in compensation?"
"Is money really that important to you? He can always catch other people's weaknesses because he knows what you want!"
"You mean that Meiwei and I were bribed by him with money, right?"
"That's not what I meant. I am a very, very good lawyer. I am a legal genius. We can win the lawsuit against him."
"Okay, okay, you are a legal genius, but we don't want to go to court, okay?"
"you"
"Sorry, I have to interrupt you!"
After watching a good show for free, Luo Bin glanced at Mai Fei a little funny. He dared to say that he was a very, very good lawyer and a legal genius at such a half-hearted level. But to a certain extent, this Mai Fei
Fei Huan really deserves to be his intern. He can actually admit that he is actually a legal genius like this without changing his face or heart. Anyway, regardless of whether others believe it or not, he seems to firmly believe it. This is consistent with
He is very similar, he believes that he is the best lawyer in the world, and everyone else is just a foil.
This is probably the most fundamental reason why Luo Bin despises Ma Fei, and Ma Fei also despises Luo Bin.
After interrupting the dispute between Mai Fei and Dai Xi, Luo Bin said directly:
"I have something to do later. Can any of you tell me the final decision?"
"Sue!"
"reconciliation!"
Mai Fei and Dai Xi said almost at the same time. Looking at the two people who had different opinions, Wu Meiwei looked at Yuan Xudong again, and Yuan Xudong said funnyly:
"Meiwei, just make your own decision on this matter, don't care too much about other people's opinions!"
"But I don't know what should I do?"
Wu Meiwei looked at Yuan Xudong and said with some dependence:
"How about you help me decide?"
"are you sure?"
"Yeah, sure!"
Seeing Wu Meiwei looking at him with certainty and nodding her head, Yuan Xudong admired her confusion on the one hand, but also said amusingly:
"Okay, since you believe me so much!"
"Yeah, I believe you!"
After glancing at Wu Meiwei who was a little silly, Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Bin and said directly:
"Luo Lu, we choose to settle. Have you prepared other contracts?"
"certainly!"
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong and Wu Meiwei, who seemed to have a close relationship, Luo Bin took out another agreement from his briefcase, handed it to Wu Meiwei and said with a smile:
"Ms. Wu, Mr. Yuan, according to this agreement, Miss Wu can get 8 million in investment funds. Of course, this is conditional. First of all, it must be kept confidential. Secondly, Miss Wu and Mr. Ren Xiaonian must become persons acting in concert. To put it simply,
To put it simply, Mr. Ren Xiaonian spent eight million yuan to buy out Miss Wu’s work. This money was not compensation, but investment money. Miss Wu, do you have any questions?"
After listening to Luo Bin's words, Wu Meiwei looked at Yuan Xudong and asked:
"Mr. Yuan, do you think it's okay?"
"No problem, eight million is already a lot, and there is nothing wrong with the contract. You can sign it!"
"Okay, shall we sign now?"
When Yuan Xudong said there was nothing wrong with the contract, Wu Meiwei said happily. Thinking about the compensation of eight million yuan, she was very excited. She secretly decided to buy a house first, then a good car, and save the rest in the bank for backup. Of course
Now, I want to treat Dai Xi and the others to a good meal, and buy some gifts for Mr. Yuan, and...
Just when Wu Meiwei was thinking about how to spend money, Luo Bin smiled and said:
"This agreement can be signed at any time, but you have to withdraw the lawsuit first. If there are no problems, then we can sign the agreement tomorrow?"
"Okay, I'll withdraw the lawsuit tomorrow!"
"Okay, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
“A pleasure to work with!”
Seeing that Wu Meiwei and Luo Bin had really reached a reconciliation, Mai Fei couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then left the cafe with an angry face. Dai Xi also looked a little unhappy, but she was not targeting Wu Meiwei, but
I feel that my boyfriend is simply unreasonable. What he did is completely inconsistent with his status as a lawyer. How can any lawyer ask his client to file a lawsuit with a personal grudge?
There are obviously better choices, so why do you ask your client to choose the least convenient path?
To avenge private grievances and to satisfy one's own private grievances through the litigant's lawsuit?
The matter has come to an end at this point. Mai Fei left angrily. Dai Xi continued working with some worries. Luo Bin returned to his law firm Quan Jin. After Yuan Xudong and Wu Meiwei chatted for a while, they agreed to see each other after work in the evening. After going back to work, Wu Meiwei also went home to continue her creation, waiting for Yuan Xudong to drive to pick her up after get off work. She was happily looking forward to the date tonight and the eight million compensation that was about to be received. No, it should be It's right to say it's an investment of eight million yuan. Getting rich overnight is how happy it is!
Quan Jin Law Firm, Luo Bin's office. After returning to the office, Luo Bin looked at Li Na who was following him and asked with a smile:
"Why are you calling me back so urgently? What is this?"
"I can help you find resumes for fresh graduates from major law schools through recruitment!"
Li Na handed Luo Bin a stack of information and smiled. Luo Bin just glanced at it without taking it and said:
"I do not need!"
"you need to!"
"Why?"
"Do you want to go on duty yourself or be under Jose's management?"
"He is not qualified to lead me!"
"He has it now!"
Giving Luo Bin a charming look, Li Na put the information in her hand on his desk and said with a smile:
"The law firm has established a public interest mediation center, and Jose is the person in charge!"
"When did this happen?"
"Just this morning at the regular meeting you didn't attend!"
"They actually made the decision in my absence?"
Luo Bin smiled nonchalantly. Seeing him like this, Li Na couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said:
"You are not a senior partner or a member of the law firm's management committee, so of course they don't need to care about your opinion!"
"I will work hard for it!"
Knowing that Li Na always wanted to climb to a higher position, Luo Bin couldn't help but smile:
"When I take office, I will definitely set up a position specifically for you, chief whipper!"
“Really looking forward to it!”
Giving Luo Bin a blank look, Li Na pushed all the information on the table to him and urged:
"But now you have to fill out this form first, the duty list of public interest lawyers. Each lawyer must be on duty once a month. Partners can be represented by assistants. This is why I want you to find an assistant lawyer. You must
You don’t want to waste time on this kind of thing, right?”
"That's right, you know me better!"
Luo Bin took a look at the duty list of public interest lawyers and said with a smile:
"Needless to say, this must be Jose's idea again, right?"
"Yes, although this idea was proposed by Jose, they all think it's a good idea. Occasionally doing charity work will help improve the public image of our law firm, lest people from the outside say that our law firm is only for profit.
Money man service!”
"Aren't we?"
After hearing what Li Na said, Luo Bin glanced at her and said with a smile:
"So they are all hypocrites, thinking about how to make money from rich people, and at the same time thinking about how to make the poor appreciate them. Don't they feel tired like this?"
"You can just tell me these things, but don't tell anyone else!"
"I'm not stupid, do you think I am Jose?"
Luo Bin believed that Jose's intention to propose a public interest lawyer was good, and the senior management of the law firm such as Seal also supported him for the sake of the public image of the law firm. However, the lawyers below who were responsible for the specific implementation all hated him in their hearts, even though everyone said so.
Public interest lawyers serve the common people, etc., but how many of these lawyers are actually willing to spend their precious time helping ordinary people in need of legal aid for free?
Including Luo Bin, he cannot object to the public welfare undertakings of the law firm, but he will never use his precious time to help others for free. He only needs to spend money to hire an assistant lawyer. This is an additional expense.
, those lawyers who are forced to spend money will definitely scold Jose in their hearts for being nosy, but on the surface they will smile and say that they are willing to do public welfare and so on.
So Luo Bin thinks Jose is stupid. He thinks that when others smile at him and are polite to him, they respect him. But is this really the case?
If he hadn't been the only son of He Jiayi, a leading legal scholar, based on what he had done, he would have been unable to stay in Quan Jin Law Firm for a long time. Everyone wanted to make money, so it doesn't matter if you are aloof, but you still want to recruit someone.
Isn't this seeking isolation by asking everyone to be arrogant together?
Just when Luo Bin and Li Na were talking about Jose, Jose came to Luo Bin's office and knocked on the door and asked:
"May I come in?"
Seeing Jose, Luo Bin blurted out with a smile without even thinking:
"No, remember to close the door, thank you!"
"I don't like joking!"
"I'm not kidding?"
Looking at Jose who rushed in angrily, Luo Bin continued to smile:
"I'm serious, I really don't have time to chat with you now!"
"What's your business?"
"I'd like coffee!"
"Luo Bin, I said I don't like to joke. I want to talk to you about public interest lawyers. Please cooperate with my work!"
"Then why should I cooperate with you to cause trouble for myself?"
"you"
"As a senior lawyer, my charging standard is between 5,000 and 100,000 per hour. If you want to take up my time, please pay the fee outside, otherwise I will ask you to go out. Thank you for your cooperation!"
"snort"
After glaring at Luo Bin, Jose walked out arrogantly. After he left, Li Na looked at Luo Bin and persuaded:
"Actually Jose is a good man, why would you?"
Before Li Na could finish speaking, Luo Bin interrupted her and said:
"He and I are college classmates. I know better than you what kind of person he is!"
"Then what kind of person is he in your mind?"
Glancing at Li Na who was full of curiosity, Luo Bin smiled and said:
"Of course he is a good person!"
Unexpectedly, Luo Bin would say this, and Li Na couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
The sun was setting, and Yuan Xudong, who had promised not to work overtime, still worked overtime for more than an hour, mainly because the resentment of the company's investment director Shen Mingbao was so strong that she didn't go back until around midnight every day.
Her husband didn't know where he got a very rebellious half-sister from. Coupled with her nagging mother-in-law and her husband who suspected her of cheating all day long, she was almost driven crazy by work and life.
Seeing Yuan Xudong trying to sneak away as soon as he got off work, her head twitched, and she forced Yuan Xudong to talk about work for more than an hour before she was willing to let him go. When Yuan Xudong was about to sneak away, Xu Le asked him again
When it comes to him, there is no other way, Yuan Xudong can only send Xu Le back first.
After sending Xu Le home, Yuan Xudong drank Nutrition Express at her house for more than an hour, and then he satisfied her, and then hurriedly drove to pick up Wu Meiwei. Since they had agreed to date tonight, Yuan Xudong
He would never break his promise. By the time he drove to the downstairs of Wu Meiwei's house, it was already 8:40 in the evening. Yuan Xudong's thoughts were clearly revealed when he asked a girl out to play at such a late hour.
Because she had been contacted in advance via WeChat, Wu Meiwei had already dressed up and was waiting. She did not wear the beautiful skirt she wore yesterday, but wore a pair of blue and white denim shorts, a milky white knitted top, and quite delicate makeup on her face.
With light makeup and long straight black hair hanging around their shoulders, all in all, young and beautiful girls look good no matter how they dress up. Their delicate bodies full of youthful vitality are their most proud assets, making people's hearts flutter.
Seeing Yuan Xudong looking at her intently, Wu Meiwei sat down in the passenger seat, closed the door, gently gathered her long hair with her right hand, blushed and said shyly:
"Mr. Yuan, why do you always look at me?"
"No, I just think you are pretty and look good in anything you wear!"
"Thanks!"
Looking at the shy Wu Meiwei, Yuan Xudong took the initiative to help her fasten her seat belt. During the process of fastening the seat belt, the two had a very brief physical contact. Seeing the girl's increasingly blushing shy look, Yuan Xudong almost couldn't help but want to
Fortunately, Yuan Xudong was not so reckless. He took the girl to the nearby Hilton Hotel for a candlelight dinner, and then went to the cinema to watch a movie.
