South area of ​​Liberty Building, the lounge next to the conference room.

Zheng Zhongshi’s face looked ugly.

The middle-aged man in a suit and tie sitting next to him is his newly hired lawyer, Wang Zhengren, who comes from Mingde Law Firm in Xinfa District and is a third-level senior defender.

After firing the Manila team, Zheng Zhongshi went directly to Red Law Firm. However, Red Law Firm declined him on the grounds that there was a conflict of interest between the company and their long-term partner, Jin Taiping Insurance.

I went to several larger law firms, and they all agreed that if these two cases together did not receive a compensation of 300,000 yuan, it would be difficult to reach a settlement with the other party. Especially, the other party’s attorney was called Lu Qianxing.

Until yesterday, there was a law firm called Mingde that was willing to take his job.

But in the negotiation just now, the other party raised the offer with three conditions. The first condition, the amount of compensation to the female clerk, was increased to 400,000 yuan; the second condition, the compensation to the Western horse owner, It was increased to 200,000 yuan; the third condition remained unchanged.

The man surnamed Lu did not come forward at all. It was his three apprentices who participated in the negotiations, each one more ruthless than the other.

They say that when one party makes an offer, the other party must respond. If there is no response within a few days, then the old offer will be withdrawn because everything is changing.

No matter how Wang Zhengren talks, the other party won't let go.

Now, during the half-hour intermission, Zheng Zhongshi felt that if he didn't come out to take a breath, he might want to kill someone, and he felt extremely irritable.

Listening to the nagging of the lawyer named Wang in front of me, I just wanted to give him a big slap in the face.

But I am afraid that the same mistakes will happen again, just like the Manila team. It seems that if Manila had been allowed to continue, things would never be like this, and they would get worse and worse.

"Mr. Zheng, what the other party said does have some truth to it. The grand jury has passed the hearing on the kidnapping case. Moreover, the case has been scheduled and the first court date has been set. If the other side withdraws the case, It will indeed affect Lawyer Lu’s reputation.”

"Who the **** are you with?" Zheng Zhongshi finally couldn't help it and stared.

Wang Zhengren sighed, "Mr. Zheng, even if you beat me and scold me, I will say it. It's because you don't believe your lawyer and keep delaying it. That's why you have reached this uncontrollable situation. You simply can't." If you don't understand the law and insist on going your own way, you may face twenty years in prison..."

Zheng Zhongshi stood up and said, "It's been another twenty **** years. What the **** is wrong with you?"

Wang Zhengren sighed, "You can scold me. If it can relieve your anger, you can scold me, but as your lawyer, I still hope you will not fire me. Otherwise, the situation will develop even worse. If you don't try to reach a settlement. , you have no choice but to go to jail."

Wang Zhengren’s face was full of sincerity, as if you were free to hit or scold him, but I really had your best interests at heart.

Looking at Wang Zhengren's loyal expression, Zheng Zhongshi gritted his teeth, snorted, and sat down again: "What do you think we should do?"

Wang Zhengren sighed, "Mr. Zheng, you are not young anymore, you are almost fifty, right? Twenty years in prison, waiting for you to come out..."

Zheng Zhongshi waved his hand, "You don't have to give me relief pills. If I really spend twenty years in prison, I won't be able to get out!"

"Yes..." Wang Zhengren sighed deeply.

Zheng Zhongshi turned sideways and said, "Hey, what do you think is their bottom line and how much money can they spend to handle this matter? How do I feel that those three little **** don't want to loose a penny?"

"If it's six hundred thousand, Mr. Zheng, can you afford it?" Wang Zhengren didn't seem to care, but he looked at Zheng Zhongshi's expression seriously.

"What the hell, I don't even have that much money selling houses and land!" Zheng Zhongshi was annoyed for a while. He usually brags about his worth while drinking out, but he often boasts that he is worth millions. He also has the nickname "Zheng Million" in his circle of friends, but In fact, horse owners have received a lot of support fees and various bonuses in recent years. For example, last year, the support fees for the owners of 80 horses exceeded 200,000, and the entire stable won more than 400,000 bonuses. Although the bonuses were 100,000, Sixty percent of it belongs to the horse owner, and 10% belongs to the knight. But in fact, for example, the old Count Vandersar only took a small part of the bonus, and most of it was used as a reward for the stable.

But the cost of stables is very high, and after all, there are only a few horse owners like old Van der Sar.

He is from a grassroots background and has not really risen to prominence for more than ten years. Therefore, for 600,000, even if he sold all his property including investment stocks, etc., he would not be able to get it out, unless he distributed the portion to his children. , also do this, follow him to sell houses and land.

Zheng Zhongshi felt a little regretful. He had only participated in horse racing last year. Moreover, he was very cautious and only chose a few confident events to help others, but he made so much money. If he had If you do it early, your net worth will at least be doubled over the years.

Wang Zhengren looked at his expression and nodded, "Mr. Zheng, that's what I think. Actually, you are at the peak of your career now. If you don't have money, let's try our best to get it, even if we sell houses and land? Everything? , you can still fight back, but if you go to jail, everything will be over."

"So, our focus is on the third item, the stable. It must not be transferred, nor can an apology in the newspaper affect your reputation. In this way, as long as the stable is still in your hands, it will not affect your status in the horse racing circle. , then, you can win back what you have lost now, right?”

Zheng Zhongshi was frowning.

Wang Zhengren said: "Of course, we can't pay 600,000 yuan. For kidnapping, our bottom line is 250,000 yuan. For the horse owner, our bottom line is 100,000 yuan, so we can recognize 350,000 yuan. What do you think? ?"

I don’t know why, but when he said it from beginning to end, it seemed like spending 350,000 to solve this matter was a good result.

Zheng Zhongshi calculated that although the 350,000 yuan would be **** him, it would not be impossible to get it out. At worst, he would participate in more horse betting games as much as possible in the future. It should take two or three years for the money to be returned.

The plan has been decided, Zheng Zhongshi nodded: "Okay! Including your 10,000 yuan in legal fees, I have to spend a total of 360,000, right? Just treat it like I feed the dogs!"

Wang Zhengren nodded with a smile and didn't look angry at all.

He only had one assistant lawyer, and he sighed inwardly. Lawyer Wang might not be able to receive such a lucrative lawsuit in several years, so if he was scolded by this rough man, he would just scold him a few times. Rough guy, it’s true that he didn’t do it on purpose.

……

An hour later, the three of them returned to the lounge. Zheng Zhongshi was furious, "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" kicking the sofa hard.

The assistant lawyer did not dare to stop him, but when he turned around, there would definitely be a claim bill sent to his lawyer Wang.

Because from a legal perspective, the real temporary borrower of the other party's lounge is his own lawyer Wang.

The other party refused to let go, and his lawyer Wang's face was no longer so calm.

If the other party lowered the price by tens of thousands, it meant that there was still room for negotiation. But within an hour, Lawyer Wang broke the news. The other party refused to let go of any of the three conditions, let alone lowered the asking price by a penny.

"Do I really want to squat for twenty years?!" Zheng Zhongshi stared at Wang Zhengren.

Wang Zhengren sighed softly: "It should be difficult to escape after more than fifteen years. If you encounter a harsh judge..." Then he said helplessly: "Mr. Zheng, I won't hide it from you. That lawyer Lu Qianxing is in the judicial system." People in the industry are very familiar. It is not difficult to deliberately ask the court clerk to help arrange a judge who is strict and has a good impression of him. This is an unspoken rule. I have also used this little trick, but I have to say that when I met him, , then I have no hope of being able to find a judge who is more in line with our expectations.”

"That's why I said, you may be sentenced to a cumulative sentence of more than twenty years."

Zheng Zhongshi gritted his teeth, "Damn it! What kind of world is this! Is there any royal law?!"

The assistant lawyer smiled bitterly, when you kidnapped other people's affairs officers, tortured and even poisoned the racehorses that the owners paid a lot of money to buy, didn't you think about the law? Now, you are just like a victim. I can only say that evil people need to be bullied by evil people.

In the eyes of the kind-hearted people at the bottom, you are a bully who cannot be offended, but when it comes to others, you are completely inadequate. They don’t want to do anything to you, they don’t make any extra moves, they just follow the rules of society. It can easily make you want to live or die, right?

"Six hundred thousand, just six hundred thousand, but I want to keep the stable!" Zheng Zhongshi gritted his teeth, "I'm going to borrow money and sell houses and land, and I don't want to beg these inhuman **** anymore. Damn! These bullies will go to **** sooner or later!"

Wang Zhengren was stunned, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little worried. In this case, would he still be able to get his 10,000 yuan in legal fees?

……

In the office, Lu Ming looked at the settlement agreement that had been reached.

This is not what I expected. Originally, the bottom line for the compensation I gave was a total of 350,000 yuan, 250,000 yuan for Bi Xiaoting, and 100,000 yuan for my little Jennifer.

At the stable, I was going to give the horse strength, as a way of thanking him for taking in my fifteenth wife’s racehorse.

Also, I have some thoughts about horse racing. After all, it is a good place to socialize and meet new friends.

Of course, I am also planning to ask Zheng Zhongshi to take over Ma Zengli's old city stable.

After all, if Zheng Zhongshi is not given food to eat and is forced to bankrupt his family, then the meaning of his reconciliation will be gone. If it were him, he would rather go to jail.

But the new agreement was that the compensation would be as high as 600,000, but the third agreement on the stable was cancelled.

"Master, neither of them dare to come. It was my decision. I think the current conditions are more in line with the interests of our client, although it is different from the bottom line you explained..." Tong Xiao'e spoke secretly. Look at Lu Ming's face.

"Furthermore, Zheng Zhongshi was so angry that the three of us were vomiting blood, and he was dizzy and angry. I don't think what will happen if we don't agree to sign with him as soon as possible, but come to ask for your instructions again? ."

Lu Ming looked at the contents of the agreement, and then looked at Tong Xiao'e who was very uneasy.

"Well, okay, go ahead and ask someone to call Bi Xiaoting back. Oh, forget it, I'll go by myself."

"Yes..." Tong Xiao'e couldn't tell whether her master was happy or angry, she felt a little wilted, lowered her head and walked out.

"Xiao'e!" Lu Ming smiled, "Well done!"

Huh? Tong Xiao'e turned around and saw Lu Ming smiling at her. Immediately, the gloom in her heart was swept away, and she felt that the scenery before her eyes suddenly became brighter.

"You are right, the current agreement is more in line with the interests of our parties."

"Well, thank you, Master!" Tong Xiao'e bowed deeply and walked out briskly. The moment she walked out, she clenched her fists and said "yes" in a low voice.

Lu Ming smiled, looking at his disciple now, he will definitely be able to stand alone in the future.

……

Bi Xiaoting was not allowed to participate in this negotiation, so as not to reveal any flaws in her expression and be discovered by the other party's lawyer.

In the Ma Zengli stable in the old city, Bi Xiaoting is accompanying Jennifer to take care of "Princess Love".

Seeing Lu Ming, Jennifer, who was dressed in a snow-white knight uniform, immediately ran over happily. Lu Ming naturally hugged her and kissed her delicate face. Jennifer immediately felt shy and nervous. He lowered his head happily.

"Xiao Bi, come here!" Lu Ming waved to Bi Xiaoting.

Bi Xiaoting walked over quickly.

Lu Ming took out a check and handed it to her, "This is for you! I paid you in advance, but deducted 50,000 yuan in legal fees. My apprentices and related affairs officers can't work in vain. No?"

Bi Xiaoting was stunned when she saw the number on the check, "Boss, didn't you just reach an agreement..."

The amount of the check is 350,000 yuan.

Lu Ming smiled. Apparently, because this matter had spread all over the world, a business officer she was friends with naturally called her to tell her.

Nowadays, the affairs officers are all crazy. In addition to envy and jealousy, they also feel the same way. Following such a boss, because he has been a little wronged, he is about to enter the millionaire class in the blink of an eye. This is too Horrible. As for the effect, although it may have some side effects, it makes people feel that if they follow me, there may be opportunities for pie-in-the-sky opportunities at any time, and they may even take the initiative to look for opportunities to show loyalty to themselves but may encounter danger, but the positive effects are definitely there. , their loyalty, if they are playing games, will they all skyrocket by 20, reaching an average of more than 90?

"Just take it. If you want money, the law firm will come forward. If you take the money, you will be at ease."

"I, I can't take so much..." Bi Xiaoting shook her head, "This, this is too much..." She was not being polite, she was indeed a bit confused.

Although she had fantasies about this, hoping that she could get tens of thousands of dollars, but how could she have imagined it? Is it 350,000? I was afraid that I would not be able to save this much money in my ten lifetimes.

Moreover, even if the other party pays this much compensation, the legal fees are only 50,000?

What price does the boss charge? And if you are not the boss, you are afraid that getting a few thousand yuan in compensation from the other party will be overwhelming.

"Boss, I really can't do it. I, I just want a small change, okay?" Bi Xiaoting lost the ability to think when she spoke, it was just an instinctive reaction.

Lu Ming smiled: "You can digest it yourself. In addition, you should resign, but I hope you will continue to be friends with Jennifer." In fact, there is no need to ask for the rest of the words. I think as long as you have some emotional intelligence, it will not stop. about her relationship with Jennifer.

Especially after you have this money, you will want to make more money, and you will need to attach yourself to a higher class like Xiao Shiwu, so that you can be considered qualified to drink soup.

After all, it is sudden wealth with no basis in itself, just like winning a few lottery tickets for super jackpots. Therefore, if you want to have a relationship like Xiao Shiwu, you will not be able to find it through digging holes.

Lu Ming ignored Bi Xiaoting who was a little confused, pulled Jennifer aside, gave her the check for 200,000, and said with a smile: "For your family."

Originally, Jennifer would not take his money, but when she heard it was for "household use", she immediately took it happily, "Well, thank you, sir!" She rolled up the check and put it into a beautiful little bag. As for the number, I don't really care.

Lu Ming and Jennifer talked for a while, but saw Bi Xiaoting slowly walking over.

"Boss, I, I can take one hundred thousand!" Bi Xiaoting said cautiously. Indeed, the amount is too large and really scary. Moreover, from some perspective, it is right for the boss and the law firm to take the lion's share, and Said: "Besides, I, I don't want to resign, so I can still work as a affairs officer next to the fifteenth wife, is that okay?"

Lu Ming smiled and said, "It's up to you to do your work. As for the check, Madam Shifififif will take you to deposit it later, and then you can think about it slowly."

She asked Jennifer to take her there for safety reasons. After all, Jennifer now has bodyguards around her, so she doesn't have to worry about being robbed.

Bi Xiaoting said: "Then, after I save it, I will transfer 250,000 to your law firm immediately." It makes me feel more at ease. After all, the world of the rich is scary. Although the boss is not this kind of person, but Law firm, he also has a partner.

Lu Ming glanced at her and said, "That's up to you, but in this case, you will be a big client of our law firm." He smiled.
