After all, this is an investment worth hundreds of millions. You can't make a decision casually. Hong Xue naturally needs time to think about it. After leaving Hong Xue's place, Ling Cang returned to the apartment. He was just about to draft a few business development plans when the doorbell rang. .
"Who is it?" Ling Cang opened the door and found several people in black suits standing outside.
Most of the bodyguards of the Holy See, the Illuminati and the aristocratic families also wear black suits. The materials are exquisite and the tailoring is decent. In comparison, the clothes of these people in front of them seem a lot vulgar. However, no one dares not to put these people in In my eyes, because I wear a national emblem on my chest.
"Excuse me..." One of the leaders among these people took a step forward and asked in a polite tone: "Are you classmate Ling Cang?"
"I am." Ling Cang nodded: "Excuse me, are you..."
"We are the Intermediate People's Court of Minghai City. We are here to serve you a summons." The man said and handed a piece of paper to Ling Cang. He said very seriously: "Please appear in court at the time and place on the summons. Before that, Please hire a lawyer. If you don’t have the financial ability, you can also apply for legal aid.”
Ling Cang was immediately confused: "Appear in court."
"To put it simply..." the other party smiled slightly: "You have been sued."
"Sue me. Who?" Ling Cang was startled. He imagined countless possibilities in his mind.
Ling Cang felt that he had been very honest during this period. He did not engage in cat or dog fights or cause any trouble. Even if a government office came to visit, it should be the police, not the court.
If there must be one, then there is only one.
The famous economist Lang Xianping interviewed Guo Meimei a few days ago and completely wiped out the scandals of the Red Cross. Ling Cang posted a post on the Internet, saying that Lang Xianping gorgeously fell from "expert" to " "Crying the beast". At the same time, he found the G-spot of Guo and her daughter and created an orgasm. Unfortunately, this orgasm was too fake. It was just like the scream of a female worker in an island country who makes a living from a certain type of movie. .
This post was very popular. It immediately became the headlines of Tianya. It has been on the front page for several days. Ling Cang was a little suspicious because of this: "It shouldn't be Lang Xianping who sued me."
If this is the case, it seems to be a good thing. I can become popular and become an Internet celebrity. Maybe I can also make a fortune. It doesn't matter if I become famous. It will not affect my ability to continue to act like a pig and eat the tiger. .
The other party looked at Ling Cang and asked strangely: "What are you thinking about."
"I'm wondering who is suing me." Ling Cang shrugged: "I have offended too many people. I don't know which sentence poked which person's lung tube. So I would like to trouble you to come and serve me a summons."
The people in the court looked at each other and then smiled. One of them pointed the summons to Ling Cang and explained it at the same time.
It turned out that the person who brought Ling Cang to court was Professor Ge. The bright-faced old thief who was almost scolded to death by Ling Cang at the birthday party. He rested in the hospital for a few days. He felt that his body was almost recovered, so he began to think about it. Revenge was taken.
During this period, people often visited Professor Ge. Everyone who knew what happened criticized Ling Cang and urged Professor Ge to teach this poor boy a lesson.
Professor Ge thought for a while and felt that as a great scholar and a leading figure in the academic world, it would be a shame if he did not ask for an explanation. He would be shameless in the face of his colleagues in the future. So he entrusted a lawyer to sue Ling for defamation, tarnishing his reputation and many other charges. Cang went to court.
In fact, Professor Ge had previously called the police for picking quarrels and disturbing social order. However, the police considered it a civil dispute and therefore did not accept the case.
"Just sue..." Ling Cang shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. I will appear in court on time."
"Okay." The other party nodded. He took out the subpoena delivery receipt and pointed to the end: "Sign your name here."
Ling Cang signed his name coolly. Then he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"There are some issues that we must explain clearly..." After a pause, the other party said word by word: "To a certain extent, you are not the defendant in this case..."
"Why don't you sue me?" Ling Cang was stunned for a moment, but he understood immediately.
According to national laws and regulations, the object of civil litigation is either a legal person or a natural person with full capacity for conduct. The so-called "full capacity for conduct" refers to a person who is of sound mind and is over eighteen years old. To put it bluntly, a normal person only needs to be over ten years old. At the age of eight, you must take full legal responsibility for your actions.
Those who are over ten years old but under eighteen years old are natural persons with limited behavioral capacity. That is to say, they only need to bear part of the responsibility for their own actions. Full responsibility needs to be borne by the guardian. Ling Cang falls into this situation. Before leaving the mountain, it was not clear Who is the guardian specifically? After arriving at Minghai No. 1 Middle School, the school considered that Ling Cang was an orphan and generously offered to serve as the guardian.
In fact, the school's "guardian" is only in name. Normally, it doesn't really "guard" anything. But precisely because of such a name, the school must bear responsibility for Ling Cang.
Professor Ge's lawsuit this time was aimed at Minghai No. 1 Middle School. The court originally did not need to send a subpoena to Ling Cang himself. However, they all wanted to know who the student who had offended the famous professor was, so they came anyway.
"Professor Ge opened his mouth loudly and demanded that a series of apology statements be published in major media and that he pay one million yuan for mental and reputational losses." The people in the court kindly advised Ling Cang: "We know your personal situation. Now only the school can be responsible for you. So you'd better talk to the school leaders and let them contact the other party privately on your behalf. It's best to reach a settlement..."
The other person nodded: "If things get serious, you won't be able to fight them."
These words have clearly shown that the court favors Ling Cang among both parties to the lawsuit. Probably because Ling Cang belongs to a "vulnerable group". Professor Ge made a fuss again. Ling Cang smiled and felt that there are still good people in the world. Same. They eat from the law. But everyone is different: "Thank you."
Just after seeing off the people from the court, a teacher came to the door: "Ling Cang, the principal is looking for you."
School will start in a while. Principal Li returned to school early. But he didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Ling Cang just came to the office. He said straight to the point: "People from the court are here."
"I know." Ling Cang nodded: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to the school."
"I already know the whole story. You don't need to tell me. However, there is another thing you probably don't know. That is that Professor Ge contacted the school through some channels a few days ago and asked for your expulsion. .”
"Really?" Ling Cang really didn't expect this. He couldn't help but smile coldly: "To be in tit-for-tat with a high school student like me. This shows Professor Ge's broadmindedness."
"Let's not talk about Professor Ge's open-mindedness..." Principal Li looked at Ling Cang and asked word by word: "Do you want to know how I answered."
"think."
"I refused." Principal Li slowly shook his head: "Our school does not need to be responsible to Professor Ge. Professor Ge has no right to dictate to our school."
"Thank you principal for saying that."
"The result..." Principal Li smiled bitterly and shook his head: "They sued us."
"I'm sorry, principal. But you can rest assured..." Ling Cang had expected that the principal would talk to him, so he prepared a lot of excuses in advance: "I will hire a lawyer to fight this lawsuit. I am fully confident. You can win. Even if you lose, I will compensate the amount. The school will never have to pay a penny..."
"You have money."
Ling Cang is now a billionaire. It's a pity that he can't say it out loud: "Even if I don't have it...my girlfriend does."
"I've heard that you are very close to Lin Xuening and Shen Fanlei. Of course this money is nothing to them. But..." Principal Li said this and suddenly smiled slyly: "To the school It’s nothing to say.”
"What do you mean, principal?"
"What I mean is that the school supports you in fighting this lawsuit." Spreading his hands, Principal Li said indifferently: "Don't say that we may not lose. Even if we lose, one million is nothing to the school. .”
"This..." Ling Cang couldn't believe his ears: "It's not very good."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Principal Li told Ling Cang categorically: "I have discussed it with several major leaders. We all made this decision unanimously. In a word, you are our student. We need to protect you. "
"Thank you, principal."
"Okay. Nothing happens. You can go back."
"I..." Ling Cang asked hesitantly: "Shouldn't I do something?"
"There is nothing you need to do..." Principal Li stood up and patted Ling Cang's shoulder gently: "If there is, then take a good rest and be in the best mental state to prepare for court. "
Ling Cang smiled knowingly: "Okay."
Ling Cang also knew that the school would not care about him, but he felt that the principal had to criticize him anyway and accused him of causing trouble to the school outside. However, this time when they met, Principal Li did not criticize him at all. Instead, he gave him some faint praise. mean.
Principal Li is certainly upright, but Ling Cang soon realized that the school's decision was not only based on integrity, but also on more realistic considerations.
First of all, although Ling Cang is only a special enrollment student, he is also a student of Minghai No. 1 Middle School. And Minghai No. 1 Middle School is a place where the powerful children of the Northeast gather. If a student is expelled just because of Professor Ge, the school will lose face. There is no place to put it. In this sense, Professor Ge takes himself a little too seriously.
Secondly, for the school, this is also an excellent hype opportunity.
