Chapter 381 Don't Misunderstand My Client
For Dajin Group, today is just an ordinary day, just like any other.
Lu Weiyi still went to work at the company as usual. The main reason he didn't agree to mediation before was because the conflict of interest between the two parties was simply too significant, making mediation impossible.
Another reason is that he was transferred to Dajin Group two years ago, while the previous chairman had already reached the post-retirement age.
The post-retirement system is something many people understand. After reaching a certain age, one no longer holds a leadership position, but it doesn't count as retirement.
Generally, they get a leisurely position, sometimes without having to come to work, but their original benefits are retained.
Therefore, Lu Weiyi definitely couldn't agree to these terms.
Sitting at his desk, Lu Weiyi habitually brewed some tea, preparing to start work.
At this moment, in another office, the company deputy general manager who arrived earlier looked at the copy of the lawsuit in his hand, his face darkened.
"Was this delivered this morning?" The deputy general manager put down the copy of the lawsuit and stared at the person in front of him, asking.
"Yes, Mr. Qiao, it was delivered by the postal service early this morning."
"The people at Tengfei Company are crazy, how dare they ask for such a large sum of money!" The deputy general manager said, putting down the materials there.
Just moments ago, he almost thought he was seeing things – over one billion two hundred million!
No, what are those Tengfei people thinking? This is over one billion two hundred million; it seems like there hasn't been such a high compensation amount in the domestic area so far!
Their company didn't earn that much profit from this project, and it could even be said it's far from that amount.
And this Tang Fangjing, does he really think he can win just by stepping in?
One billion two hundred million, that much money, it's enough to drown him!
Indeed, Mr. Qiao already saw that the agent is Tang Fangjing.
This made him wonder if that famous internet celebrity lawyer is a bit conceited, doing a few criminal cases for eye-catching purposes is one thing, but is this type of case something he can handle?
This Lawyer Tang seems to have never done a commercial secrecy-type case before, right?
Then he stood up, carrying the lawsuit, and headed straight for Lu Weiyi's office.
Lu Weiyi had just finished signing a document when he heard someone knocking at the door, and he immediately said, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Mr. Qiao entered with the materials, smiling as he said, "Mr. Lu, you are not too busy right now, are you?"
Some people might think that although you are the deputy general manager, you are also a company leader, so isn't this attitude a bit too much?
But actually, those who understand a bit know that between deputy positions and the main positions, although just one word differs, the "power content" is vastly different.
Most people spend their lives stuck at this deputy position, saying they can't get up, they indeed can't.
So, one must show respect when facing the top leader.
Lu Weiyi responded with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Qiao, have a seat. It's quite early for you to come looking for me – there must be something important."
Mr. Qiao responded: "Mr. Lu, you're right, there is indeed something particularly important."
"Look, this was received early this morning, Tengfei has filed a lawsuit against us."
As he spoke, Mr. Qiao handed over his phone, which showed a short video clip of the postal-delivered package, particularly large and surprisingly heavy.
Why, sometimes, are court fees particularly high?
In cases like this, you don't collect enough, not even enough to cover shipping costs.
You can't send litigation materials with postage due, so you have to charge for it.
Lu Weiyi looked at the package incredulously: "Are all these litigation materials inside?"
Mr. Qiao nodded: "All of them, most are copies of evidence, here are copies of the lawsuit, I brought them specifically, please read and try not to get upset."
Lu Weiyi burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Mr. Qiao, don't you know me yet? When have I ever gotten angry or vexed by these work matters? Let me take a look..."
Mr. Qiao didn't say anything. Indeed, the mentality of high leadership is generally good. Even if something happens, they usually maintain their composure.
But this is indeed unusual. Frankly speaking, he couldn't even imagine what mindset the other party was in when they made such an outrageous request.
Lu Weiyi looked at the materials and became a bit skeptical.
"No, Mr. Qiao, is this true? Did they really sue us like this?"
Matching Mr. Qiao's reaction identically.
Mr. Qiao nodded and pointed to the stamp above, saying: "It's indeed true, and I also had Little Liu over there call the Handong High Court to verify, and these are indeed their claims."
Lu Weiyi couldn't help but exclaim: "Have they gone mad? One billion two hundred million, do they think this is somewhere like America? How dare they ask for so much money?"
"How many years would Tengfei company need to earn one billion two hundred million, and now they're asking us to compensate? Weren't they represented by Tang Fangjing? And this kind of lawyer can accompany them to fool around?"
Mr. Qiao replied: "Mr. Lu, there's more. Take a look further."
"More? What could be more outrageous than this one billion two hundred million... dismantle the production line?" Lu Weiyi was again bewildered.
"Indeed, Mr. Lu, they are also asking us to dismantle the confidential production line..."
Lu Weiyi silently, finally slamming his hand on the desk: "What does Tengfei Company take us for, huh, what do they take us for!"
"One billion two hundred million, and dismantlement of the production line... Go, call that Tang Fangjing and ask them what on earth they want!"
It's not that Lu Weiyi is afraid of losing, the situation is just too absurd, making him suspect if the other party is seizing the chance to hype.
Intentionally making a ridiculously attention-grabbing request, and then heating up the public opinion.
