Lawyer Xiong had an illusion that the young presiding judge on the bench seemed to be smiling?
What are you laughing at!
The young man was just careless and didn't realize how serious this occasion was.
Lawyer Xiong is really suspicious. Although this thing is quite funny, the presiding judge has received professional training. He has seen all kinds of idiots in the court. There are defendant lawyers who are so aggressive that they can defeat the plaintiff. Naturally, there are also
The defendant's lawyer was treated like a monkey by the plaintiff. It doesn't matter whether he has studied law or not. Some people are thoughtful and logical. No matter how the lawyer induces them, they just don't step into the trap. They are sober in the world - but today's plaintiffs are too young.
, no wonder Lawyer Xiong became so angry.
The presiding judge read the evidence provided by Zheng Zhihe.
The judge's robe gave the young presiding judge solemnity and solemnity. The presiding judge had a pair of amber eyes. When he looked up at people, he was not angry or intimidating. Lawyer Xiong looked at the judge and couldn't help but look away.
"Defendant's lawyer, do you have any evidence to submit?"
Of course, Lawyer Xiong couldn’t provide any evidence regarding the multiple submissions for one manuscript.
Before the trial, Lawyer Xiong had a serious talk with Han Qin.
It is a common rule in the industry to prohibit multiple submissions for a manuscript. The reason for this rule is that authors often do this, especially new authors.
New authors who cannot grasp the needs of magazines are most likely to have their manuscripts rejected, and new authors want to publish their works the most. Therefore, it has become the norm for new authors to cast a wide net for multiple submissions.
Lawyer Xiong wanted to use this topic as an introduction to shake Wen Ying's character foundation, but he didn't know that Wen Ying was actually a new author who took an unusual path!
——When she was reborn last year, Wen Ying's mind was full of regrets about giving up her dream of writing. She also consciously studied the needs of youth literature magazines. Her creative desire was overwhelming and her self-confidence was also inflated. There were so many stories she wanted to write, so where could she need one?
Submit multiple manuscripts?
Lawyer Xiong had no evidence to submit, so he cleared his throat and continued to ask questions.
This time, Lawyer Xiong asked about the relationship between Wen Ying and Xiao Salamander.
Why is Little Salamander so nice to a new author?
"As far as I know, you only published three short stories in "Eige" before you started serializing the novel "Young Idol". In this, your editor Ni Sisi played a key role, right?"
What Lawyer Xiong said is true, and Wen Ying will certainly not deny it.
"Yes, Editor Ni helped me a lot from the first time I contributed to "Egg" to the serialization of "Young Idol". Without Editor Ni's professional guidance and spiritual encouragement, there would be no "Young Idol"
"Publication."
Xiao Salamander is the main reason why Wen Ying chose to contribute to "Eige".
The manuscript was also rejected, and Xiao Sala patiently and meticulously pointed out Wen Ying's shortcomings. Lawyer Xiong did not need to emphasize this. The frequent emails exchanged between the two were enough to illustrate the problem.
"It seems that you and Ni Sisi really have a good relationship. You trust Ni Sisi so much, so Ni Sisi chose to change jobs to work at the Chengdu Publishing Group, which also affected your decision. You don't want to contribute to "Eige" because Ni Sisi and the Chengdu Publishing Group
The group gives you better publishing conditions."
Lawyer Xiong finally brought the topic to Wen Ying's "breach of contract".
It was Wen Ying who took the initiative to break the contract. She already had a new employer and no longer wanted to contribute articles to "Eige". "Young Idol" had no further articles to publish. What else could she do except terminate the contract?
Therefore, the "termination statement" on "Eige" is true, and it is also true that Han Qin used anonymous means to break the news on Tianya Forum. Since it is true, there is no infringement of the reputation rights of "Fish Against the Current"!
Faced with lawyer Xiong’s accusation, Wen Ying flatly denied:
"I signed a contract with Rongcheng Publishing Group. After the negotiation with Chief Editor Han failed, Chief Editor Han represented the position of the magazine. The magazine did have the priority to sign the contract. If the magazine refused to sign, I chose to cooperate with Rongcheng Publishing Group. I and Rongcheng Publishing
The group signed the contract first, and Editor Ni was fired from "Egg" later. She lost her job and of course she had to find a new job. This is two different things from the magazine and Editor Han infringing on my right to reputation."
Lawyer Xiong thinks it’s the same thing.
Lawyer Xiong provided evidence in court.
All the chat records between "Little Salamander" and "Backstream Fish", especially the one where Little Salamander approached Countercurrent Fish for a follow-up manuscript, but was rejected by Countercurrent Fish, which is enough to show that it was the Countercurrent Fish who breached the contract first - at that time, he approached Wen Ying to ask for the manuscript.
In fact, he is no longer a small salamander, but the chat history cannot reflect this.
"Presiding judge, my client has worked for "Egg" for many years. She is a professional and senior magazine editor. She has discovered many authors. No author has done the plaintiff's behavior. The plaintiff has
During the submission period for "Egg", although the specific communication work was done by editor Ni Sisi, Ni Sisi was also guided by my client, and they had a superior-subordinate relationship at work. My client valued every talented new author.
, so after the plaintiff’s serialized novel “Teenage Idol” received favorable comments from readers, my client took the initiative to increase the plaintiff’s manuscript fee from 130 yuan per thousand words to 180 yuan per thousand words.”
Lawyer Xiong paused to give the judge time to digest his words.
“A subordinate jumped ship and took away the author whom he valued and whom the magazine focused on cultivating. This was a double blow to my client’s career and emotions, causing my client to post anonymously on an online forum to vent his emotions. Considering the age of the plaintiff, my client
There is definitely something inappropriate about her behavior, but what she said is true and does not constitute an infringement of reputation."
It was Xiao Salamiao who proposed the increase in manuscript fees.
But the person who made the final decision was Han Qin.
The judge will not know how many times Xiao Sala communicated with Han Qin about this. The evidence handed over by Lawyer Xiong is only beneficial to Han Qin.
Lawyer Xiong wants to attack Wen Ying's character, but he also wants to shape Han Qin's character.
It is indeed inappropriate for a magazine editor who is professional and caring about the author to post anonymously on the forum, but considering Han Qin's position, this behavior does not infringe on Wen Ying's reputation.
Lawyer Xiong does have two skills.
The proceedings of the court hearing must be recorded.
Lawyer Xiong must involve Xiao Sala in this lawsuit. After this lawsuit, he will fight Xiao Sala again. Today, it has been confirmed that Xiao Sala changed jobs with the magazine’s focus on cultivating writers. Xiao Sala sued
The lawsuit between the magazine and Han Qin was easier to fight when it came to court.
Zheng Zhihe and Wen Ying did not want Xiao Sala to testify today because Xiao Sala's position was already biased towards Wen Ying after she switched jobs at Chengdu Publishing Group, and her testimony was unfair.
Moreover, Zheng Zhihe felt that Xiaoyu did not need to testify.
In the auditorium, Little Salamander was almost furious with Lawyer Xiong.
Why does this person confuse right and wrong?
After Lawyer Xiong finished speaking, Han Qin was already in tears.
The arrogant Editor Han who was standing outside the court disappeared. At this time, Editor Han was just a poor man whose heart was broken by his subordinates and the author!
"root--"
As soon as the little salamander moved his mouth, Zou Weijun held him down.
Observing is just listening, you can't speak casually.
Zheng Zhihe gave Xiao Sala a calm look, and Wen Ying was not impatient at all.
Looking at Xie Qian next to him with a calm expression, the little salamander's face turned hot.
Oops, how could she not even compare to two high school students? High school students can be calm, so why should she be anxious?
You should believe Lawyer Zheng!
Zheng Zhihe just wanted to see what key evidence Lawyer Xiong could produce. After waiting for a long time, Lawyer Xiong could only talk.
This is a court, not a debate.
It’s useless to confuse right and wrong, you have to come up with real evidence!
Zheng Zhihe was able to produce evidence that Lawyer Xiong couldn't produce...thanks to Wen Ying's cleverness!
