Wen Ying's behavior of secretly publishing novels while wearing a vest is like walking a tightrope. Now that someone has noticed this and wants to cut the tightrope, will there be an abyss waiting for Wen Ying?
Danger is approaching, and neither Wen Ying nor Xie Qian knows anything about it.
Even if Wen Ying is a reborn person, and even if Xie Qian is invincible, the development of some things will be beyond their control and prediction.
The secret that Wen Ying worked so hard to protect is a trivial matter that can be easily exposed in the eyes of people with malicious intentions. The purpose is just to make Wen Ying unhappy. She accidentally discovered that Wen Ying wanted to hide something more, and she wanted to
Go the other way with Wen Ying...
Zhao Dong introduced Han Qin to a local barrister in Rongcheng.
It’s not that Lawyer Xiong isn’t good enough, it’s just that litigating in Chengdu is definitely not as advantageous as Zheng Zhihe’s!
Zhao Dong told Han Qin: "Editor Han, only magic can defeat magic."
Han Qin suddenly realized.
She invited a lawyer from Shandong Province to come to Chengdu to litigate the case. No wonder she was completely defeated during the trial!
Lawyers are really important. Han Qin doesn't trust others easily now. Zhao Dong said it was a good intention, but who knows if he was deliberately arranged by Zou Weijun?
Cautious Han Qin asked Zhao Dong why he wanted to help her. Zhao Dong thought for a while and told half the truth: "I originally wanted to ask Ms. Zou to plan and publish "Letter from the Zhao Family"."
There is of course a reason why I ignored the publishing industry in Rongcheng and went to Shandong Province to publish.
It turns out that it was Zou Weijun who rejected Zhao Dong, and Zhao Dong held a grudge?
This logic fit Han Qin's character very well, and she half believed it immediately.
The other half, Han Qin, has to verify it herself.
For example, can the lawyer recommended by Zhao Dong be used?
The person Han Qin asked was Lawyer Xiong. Lawyer Xiong didn’t know that he was about to be replaced, so he used his alumni connections to check Zheng Zhihe, followed this line, and gave Han Qin a positive answer.
: "This lawyer and teacher Zheng Zhihe are enemies. The conflict between the two is so deep-rooted that it cannot be resolved. Do you think he can help us?"
This is a way.
Lawyer Xiong also actively gave Han Qin advice. Unexpectedly, Han Qin confirmed that Zhao Dong had not lied to her and wanted to change lawyers.
Lawyer Xiong was very hurt.
He couldn't make much money by taking this case, so he was willing to do so much for Han Qin not only because of the lawyer's own desire to win, but also because he and Han Qin have been friends for many years.
As a result, Han Qin now needs to change lawyers?
Income is a trivial matter, but it hurts Lawyer Xiong's self-esteem. He was actually disliked by Han Qin!
“I hope your new lawyer can help you win your case!”
Lawyer Xiong directly bought a ticket and returned to Shandong Province.
Han Qin terminated the entrustment of this case, which hurt Lawyer Xiong both publicly and privately. Lawyer Xiong no longer wanted to deal with the lawsuit between Ni Sisi and Han Qin, and asked Han Qin to hire Gao Ming!
Han Qin knew that once she changed lawyers, she would lose a friend she had known for many years.
But there was nothing she could do.
If she loses the lawsuit, her work will be finished and her career will be completely ruined. By then, she will no longer have the social status to match Lawyer Xiong, and their friendship will gradually fade away.
Friends can be made again, but one’s standing in society cannot be ruined!
Han Qin convinced herself and met with the new lawyer.
The new lawyer's surname is Du. He looks to be in his forties and has a handsome appearance. He is reminiscent of elite lawyers in Hong Kong and Taiwan legal dramas.
Just looking at the appearance, he is much better than Lawyer Xiong, even Zheng Zhihe is not as impressive.
Lawyer Du got straight to the point when he saw Han Qin:
"Ms. Han, do you know that based on the current situation, your personal situation is very dangerous. If you lose the lawsuit, you will become an abandoned son. Everything happened because of you. You have been punished by public opinion.
It will naturally subside. The magazine will still be a magazine, and except for the loss of a best-selling author, it will still stand."
Han Qin was horrified by what Lawyer Du said.
Every word of Lawyer Du touched her heart. Based on the changes in the leader's attitude, Han Qin was indeed worried that she would become an outcast!
So what to do now?
As soon as they met, Lawyer Du shocked Han Qin and captured Han Qin's trust.
Han Qin asked how to fight the lawsuit, and lawyer Du's advice was not to fight.
"It's hard to win unless you have some key evidence to add. After the first instance verdict, if you refuse to accept the verdict and continue the above, even if you take the case to the High Court, you will be promoting the other party's book. When the other party becomes more and more famous,
When the time comes, there will be more and more readers who defend her. You have no value, but she has value. Even if you finally win the lawsuit despite all the difficulties, what you lose will definitely be many times more than what you gain! Ms. Han, this is what you want
Did you see that?"
It was difficult for Han Qin to empathize with other things, so lawyer Du used lawsuits in the publishing industry as an example.
A popular best-selling author is involved in a plagiarism lawsuit. The first-instance verdict found that he committed plagiarism. What impact did it have on him? Even though he refused to admit it, he could still earn a large amount of royalties from readers!
Plagiarism is not punished to death. The mistakes made by "fish against the current" are far less serious than plagiarism, and the impact on their writing career is even smaller.
In particular, "Young Idol" is selling well, and the Chengdu Publishing House behind "Fish Against the Current" will protect it in every possible way for the sake of profit.
"You should be able to imagine that after the trial, newspapers and TV stations took turns to report on the matter, which greatly stimulated the sales of her books. Such publicity methods will be used repeatedly by the publishing house behind the other party during your lawsuit."
If you win the fight and the other party becomes popular, what benefits will you get?
What's more, without new evidence, it will be difficult to win!
Lawyer Du knew that Zheng Zhihe's active promotion of the case was indispensable for the case to be filed so quickly and to be heard in court.
This case is quite novel.
If he is defeated by Zheng Zhihe, it will be of great help to Zheng Zhihe's reputation in the southwestern legal world, so Zheng Zhihe's teacher is also very concerned!
Lawyer Du didn't want Zheng Zhihe and his disciples to have their way, he wanted to make this lawsuit impossible to fight.
Han Qin held her breath: "Lawyer Du, what you mean is..."
Lawyer Du was categorical, "What I mean is, before the verdict comes down, try to reach a private settlement and let the other party withdraw the lawsuit."
The case can be withdrawn before the judge makes a ruling.
Once the judge makes a decision, that's all.
Han Qin thought it was impossible. Now that Zou Weijun and the others had the upper hand, how could they agree to withdraw the lawsuit?
"Ms. Han, you need to change your preconceived notions. In fact, all civil lawsuits can be settled. The only obstacle that prevents the two parties from reaching a settlement is whether the settlement conditions are generous enough."
Lawyer Du seems to have already made a plan.
He and Han Qin haven't signed an entrustment agreement, so there's nothing wrong with him contacting the plaintiff privately. Of course, Lawyer Du will not contact the plaintiff himself, let alone any employee of the Rongcheng Publishing Group, including Zou Weijun.
That side would never agree to a settlement. He wanted to meet the two key figures in this matter - the "fish against the current", namely Wen Ying's parents and her legal guardians!
