Ye Ximei asked, "Does this have something to do with what we are going to talk about today?"
Zhang Chi said: "The relationship is big. In other words, Jincheng is Miss Ye's family business, so Miss Ye may exaggerate the losses and make excessive claims."
Ye Ximei said: "You are questioning my professionalism as a lawyer."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Of course a lawyer must safeguard the interests of the client and regard the interests of the client as his own. Miss Ye does not need to regard it as such at all. The interests of the client are your interests."
Ye Ximei asked, "Mr. Zhang, have you seen the claim filed by Jincheng?"
Zhang Chi curled his lips and said: "It's meaningless. The starting point of your claim is for the losses that may be caused in the future. I can say bluntly that the reason for your claim is untenable. There are many factors that affect the movie box office. Even if
Without this incident, "On the Sea" might have failed at the box office."
Ye Ximei said angrily: "Your words are untenable."
Zhang Chi said: "The director of Onshore, Huo Qiliang, has always made literary films. According to the information I collected, his highest domestic box office is probably 300 million. The box office estimate you gave is 2 billion. Ye
Miss, do you not understand the situation, or do you really have that much confidence in Huo Qiliang?"
Ye Ximei said: "Our data has been scientifically calculated, and you are an amateur in this regard."
Zhang Chi said: "Although I am an outsider, there is one thing I am very surprised about. A New Year blockbuster with such a large investment actually casts a newcomer Xiao Jiujiu as the heroine. You Jincheng are really bold. I have some promotional materials here.
The main focus is on director Huo Qiliang, and then the male lead. Although Xiao Jiujiu is the female lead, she is not the main publicity point."
Ye Ximei said: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement on our views. If it doesn't work out, we'll meet in court."
Zhang Chi said: "Meeting in court will inevitably lead to aggravation. As far as I know, this Xiao Jiujiu is also a connected person. Jincheng's resources are not connected to her brokerage company, but to Zhang Chi, the godson of Jincheng Chairman Ye Jintang."
her."
Ye Xing's eyebrows twitched. Just now, she thought that this little fat guy didn't do his homework. Now it seems that he not only did his homework, but he was also very meticulous. This person should not be underestimated.
Ye Ximei said with eyebrows: "You don't need to talk about catching wind and shadow."
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "There is no smoke without fire. I also have some information. Miss Ye and your godbrother have a good relationship."
Ye Ximei was shocked and looked at Zhang Chi coldly: "What do you mean, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "It's not interesting. I just heard that Miss Ye is divorced and has a son. It seems that your son is not in good health. Mr. Zhang often accompanies you to the hospital..." After a pause, he said: "Visit
Him?"
Ye Ximei felt uneasy. Who is this guy? He mentioned this matter. Does he know the inside story? Impossible. He and Zhang Chi have never told anyone about it. Although his father has guessed a little, even he can't.
I don’t know about my ambiguous relationship with Zhang Chi. Who is this guy? Is he deliberately defrauding me?
Ye Ximei remained calm in the face of danger and said indifferently: "Mr. Zhang, are these things you mentioned related to what we are going to talk about?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I always think peace is the most important thing. If we go to court and everyone is at odds, it will be of no benefit to anyone. Now is not the era of implicating the nine clans. If something happens to Xiao Jiujiu's mother, should we do it?"
Xiao Jiujiu paid for this? She didn't break the law. Miss Ye might as well put herself in someone else's shoes and think about it. If you do something outside, do you need your son to be responsible?"
Zhang Daxian himself despised him for being shameless, actually using the secret between them to blackmail Ye Ximei, but under the current situation, he really couldn't think of a better way, and Jincheng had to give in, but he couldn't express his intention
identity.
Ye Ximei could now conclude that the other party was threatening her, but she was not sure whether the other party had really grasped something. She smiled lightly and said, "You may not understand me, but I have always made a distinction between public and private affairs."
Zhang Chixin said that I don't understand you. I don't understand you from the inside out. But I can't say this out loud. He stood up and looked at Ye Ximei condescendingly. "Well, my sister's neckline is a little low today."
.
Ye Ximei was obviously aware of this and looked at the fat man with a wretched expression warily: "Is Mr. Zhang leaving?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "I would like to make a reasonable suggestion. It is better to postpone the matter of claiming compensation. After all, the movie has not been released yet, and the losses you mentioned are based on assumptions. Even if you insist on claiming compensation, you will have to bear the maximum responsibility."
It can’t be Xiao Jiujiu’s agency.”
Ye Ximei said: "Xiao Jiujiu's agency must bear the main responsibility."
Zhang Chi said, "Have you read this agreement?" He took out the commitment agreement that he and Liang Xiuyuan had signed before and handed it to Ye Ximei.
Ye Ximei took it and looked at it. After reading it, she felt her scalp tightening. It turned out that Zhang Chi and Liang Xiuyuan signed this agreement. It was really confusing. He had long known that Xiao Jiujiu had a family history, so he deliberately concealed it.
Although Ye Ximei knew that Zhang Chi had his reasons for doing this, in business matters, he was indeed unreasonable in this matter.
After Ye Ximei read it, he wanted to put the agreement away, but Zhang Chi grabbed him back. Ye Ximei said, "It's not for me?"
Zhang Chi said: "What if you use this agreement as evidence? To be honest, I was entrusted by Zhang Chi to help Xiao Jiujiu, otherwise I would be too lazy to take on such a small case."
Ye Ximei said: "A small case? It seems that you underestimated the seriousness of this matter."
Zhang Chi said: "Ms. Ye doesn't know me well. I never suffer losses. As long as it's a case I accept, I can accept settlement. Once it goes to court, even if I lose, I will cause heavy losses to my opponent."
Ye Ximei said with eyebrows: "I understand, you are threatening me."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "Actually, it's best to negotiate a peace. Even if you win the fight, the unlucky ones will still be Xiao Jiujiu and Zhang Chi. Aren't Zhang Chi and you a family? Now that he's not here, wait until he comes back to find out that his god-sister will sue him."
Do you think he will feel better after going to court?"
Ye Ximei was pounding with relief. After all, there was something wrong in her heart. She always felt that this little fat guy should know about her relationship with Zhang Chi. But then she thought about it, only they knew about her and Zhang Chi's affairs. If they didn't tell them, Zhang Chi couldn't take advantage of them.
The whole world was clamoring about the secret between them, so he suddenly thought: "Feelings are feelings, and rules are rules."
Zhang Chi said: "Ms. Ye means that you don't intend to withdraw the lawsuit. Do you have to go to court?"
Ye Ximei said: "It's not my problem, it's Jincheng who wants to claim compensation."
Zhang Chi said: "Jincheng is not open to your family."
Ye Ximei glared at him, this little fat man was indescribably annoying.
Zhang Chi said: "I heard that your son is sick. What is the result of the bone marrow matching?"
Ye Ximei was now able to fully conclude that the other party had leverage over her. She looked at Zhang Chi coldly: "Don't worry about it." If her eyes were two knives, she would have cut this little fat man into thousands by now.
Damn, I really want to silence him.
Zhang Chi said goodbye to Ye Ximei, but Ye Ximei was too lazy to get up to see him off. When he left the house, she immediately called her father.
Ye Jintang listened to his daughter briefly explaining the matter and couldn't help complaining: "This Zhang Chi is really reckless. He always tries to get involved in everything. He takes care of Xiao Jiujiu. Who is Xiao Jiujiu?"
Ye Ximei said: "Dad, I don't think this matter needs to be such a big deal, right? Xiao Jiujiu's mother is suspected of killing someone. Xiao Jiujiu did not kill anyone and was not involved in the case. Why should she bear the responsibility?
The times have changed, why are you still planning to sit here?"
Ye Jintang said: "It has nothing to do with me. I don't even know about it unless you tell me. Your uncle is in charge of Jincheng. I don't care about the specific management at all. You don't know?"
Ye Ximei said: "Dad, I don't think this matter will have much impact on the movie itself. There is still some time before it is released. The focus of publicity can be entirely on the director and the movie itself, and Xiao Jiujiu's influence in it."
It’s not big in the first place, but my uncle is so nervous and insists on holding Xiao Jiujiu accountable. Is it because he has no confidence in the quality of the movie itself?”
Ye Jintang said: "Your brother-in-law has always been like this. The credit belongs to him, and the responsibility belongs to others."
Ye Ximei said, "That's right, he can't even tolerate my younger brother, let alone others. Dad, I'm not making trouble. You're too spoiled to him."
Ye Jintang said: "Don't talk nonsense about this matter, I know it well."
Ye Ximei raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, do you really want to file a lawsuit? Do you have to make a fuss?"
Ye Jintang said: "Who said there was going to be a lawsuit? If you think it's inappropriate, just come up with a plan that has the best of both worlds. If we file a lawsuit now, wouldn't it completely ruin the movie? What on earth is Zong Baoyuan thinking?"
Ye Ximei raised her eyebrows and said, "Dad, you are still wiser."
Ye Jintang put down the phone and immediately called Zong Baoyuan. On the phone, he scolded his brother-in-law. Jincheng Pictures is only a part of Ye's business. If the heroine is sued for a movie that has not yet been released, the news will spread.
The structure of Jincheng is too small, and no celebrities will be willing to cooperate with Jincheng in the future.
When Zong Baoyuan was scolded, he immediately realized that it was Ye Ximei who had accused him of the crime. Ye Jintang had also been grudged against him for a long time. Zong Baoyuan originally wanted to rely on this movie to make a comeback, but now it seems that there is little hope.
, if the movie "On the Sea" is released as scheduled but fails at the box office, then my brother-in-law will have a high-sounding reason to remove him.
Zong Baoyuan thought about it and couldn't take the blame. He decided to resign to Ye Jintang. He thought his brother-in-law would politely persuade him to stay, but he didn't expect that Ye Jintang agreed without hesitation.
After Zong Baoyuan resigned, he felt regretful and went to his sister Zong Baozhu to complain. Zong Baozhu didn't give him a good look this time. It was later learned that Ye Jintang announced that Ye Huacheng would be the general manager of Jincheng Pictures on the day of his resignation.
Zong Baoyuan understood that no matter how useless Adou was, he was Liu Bei's biological son after all. Even if the Ye family's industry failed, he had to stick to his biological son first.
The storm subsided. Zong Baoyuan's painstaking production of "The Storm at Sea" was picked up by Ye Huacheng before it was released. Ye Huacheng majestically wrote his name in the column of chief producer. Only then did Zong Baoyuan realize that,
The brother-in-law has long wanted to touch him, but he just lacked a suitable opportunity.
If he was too nervous, the high-quality film "On the Sea" might be able to help him reverse his predicament, but his overly cautious behavior finally gave his brother-in-law a chance.
After Ye Ximei successfully settled the matter, she told Xiao Jiujiu the good news and reminded Xiao Jiujiu to be careful about that rogue lawyer. That fat guy was not a good person at first glance.
When Xiao Jiujiu answered the phone, Zhang Chi happened to be beside her. Xiao Jiujiu suppressed laughter, hung up the phone, suddenly hugged Zhang Chi and kissed him on the face.
Zhang Daxian said: "Don't be impulsive, the sky is dry and the earth is dry, I will do it as soon as possible."
A rare smile appeared on Xiao Jiujiu's pretty face: "Sister Ximei called and said that Jincheng won't sue me, thanks to you."
Zhang Chi said: "Why should they sue? It's not reasonable in the first place."
Xiao Jiujiu said: "Sister Ximei told me to stay away from you, a rogue lawyer. You, a fat bastard, are not a good person at first glance."
Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh. Ye Ximei was probably choked up by this matter. It wasn't that he had no moral integrity, but that he couldn't find a better way and could only use coercion and inducement.
Looking at Xiao Jiujiu, he felt that there was something about An Chongguang between his eyebrows. Zhang Chi secretly sighed that Xiao Jiujiu was pitiful. She didn't even know who her biological father was. An Chongguang was not a good bird either, so she asked Chen Yuting to help him give birth.
A daughter who has been able to pretend to be fine for so many years is a hypocrite, a complete hypocrite. From this point of view, An Chongguang is not even comparable to Lin Chaolong. The old scumbag is at least very good to his daughter.
There was a sound of opening the door outside, but it was Xiao Changyuan who was back. Xiao Jiujiu had been staying at his house recently. In order to avoid being harassed by reporters, he didn't even dare to go out.
This time Xiao Changyuan did not come back by himself, but An Chongguang came with him.
Xiao Changyuan had already met Zhang Chi and greeted, "Lawyer Zhang is here too."
Xiao Jiujiu and Zhang Chi stood up together, and Xiao Jiujiu greeted: "Hello, Uncle An." She was not familiar with An Chongguang, but she had met him several times and knew that this man was once her uncle's leader.
An Chongguang smiled and nodded, his eyes coming to Zhang Chi's face.
Zhang Chi found that Xiao Changyuan was also staring at him, and he was a little confused. I look so attractive to men? Xiao Jiujiu is a beauty. If you don't look at beautiful women, why are you looking at me, a little fat guy?
Xiao Jiujiu also realized that something was not right. He looked at Zhang Chi's face and felt embarrassed. He still had lipstick marks on his face. It was over. He was careless. How would others see her now?
Xiao Changyuan pretended not to see it and coughed: "When did Lawyer Zhang come?"
Zhang Chi said: "I'm here to discuss something with Miss Xiao and I'll leave now."
An Chongguang was furious when he saw this guy's appearance. If his daughter had contact with Zhang Chi, he would at most blame Zhang Chi for being careless and half-hearted, but the kid's ability and appearance are still good. What kind of thing is this little lawyer?
?Dwarf winter melon, groundhog, looks like a bear, how can my daughter eat it?
Zhang Chi smiled at An Chongguang: "I'm leaving."
An Chongguang stretched out his hand to him: "Hello."
Zhang Daxian knew that this hypocrite was going to do evil things to him, so he did not give An Chongguang the face and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my hands are dirty."
An Chongguang was even more angry. Mad, did this fat guy touch my daughter with his dirty hands just now? Which hand? I'll chop you off!
Xiao Jiujiu was afraid that the secret would be exposed and followed the smooth path: "Lawyer Zhang, hurry up and help me handle that matter. Don't delay."
"Hey!" Zhang Chi responded and prepared to leave.
An Chongguang blocked his way with a fake smile on his face: "Lawyer Zhang, don't leave in a hurry. I happen to have a few legal issues that I need to consult."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "My lawyer's fees are very expensive, haha, just kidding, this is my business card. Mr. An can call me when he has time." He handed An Chongguang a business card.
An Chongguang stared into his eyes and said: "It's better to hit the sun tomorrow. It won't delay Mr. Zhang too much time." After taking Zhang Chi's business card and seeing the senior legal advisor of New World Group, he naturally thought of Chu Canghai.
Xiao Changyuan saw that something was not right about the atmosphere and said with a smile, "How about everyone sit down first and then talk."
Zhang Chi raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I have to leave. I have made an appointment with Jincheng's legal counsel. I can't delay Miss Xiao's matter."
An Chongguang said: "I'll give it to you."
Xiao Changyuan and Xiao Jiujiu both looked stunned. This is the Xiao family. An Chongguang is too anti-customer. You are a guest yourself, why are you helping us see off our guests?
Xiao Jiujiu's heart was pounding. Could it be that Zhang Chi was exposed? It's all my fault. Why did you kiss him just now?
Zhang Chi remained calm in the face of danger and said with a smile: "That's too polite. How can I be so embarrassed?"
An Chongguang said with a fake smile: "I didn't mean to give it to you. I forgot something in the car and I had to go back to get it. I just gave it to you."
The two of them walked out of the Xiao family gate one after another. An Chongguang said: "Where is Lawyer Zhang's car parked?"
Zhang Chi said: "Residential parking lot."
"What a coincidence, my car is also there."
Zhang Chi cursed secretly, you are a big-headed ghost, you hypocrite, and an old scumbag. You must be unhappy when you see the lipstick marks on my face. Xiao Jiujiu, you have not fulfilled your responsibility as a father since you were a child. Why are you pretending to be a father now?
Love is like a mountain. The key is that you want to use this mountain to crush me. Damn it, are you worthy?
An Chongguang looked at Zhang Chi, being condescending and unable to take advantage of his height.
Zhang Chi didn't have time to wipe the lipstick on his face just now, so he just stopped wiping it off now. What's wrong with your daughter kissing me as much as you want? I haven't broken any laws, how can you still kill me?
An Chongguang asked: "Have we met in the past?"
Zhang Chi shook his head and said: "My clients are usually people with status and status in society. After all, my legal fees are very expensive."
An Chongguang said: "Which law firm are you employed in?"
Zhang Chi said: "I am an uninhibited and indulgent person who loves freedom and likes to fight alone."
