www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
In the conference room, Lu Ming listened intently to the statement of lawyer Smith across from him.
Cao Ying is a handsome man in his early forties, with the same calm demeanor, sitting next to Smith. When Smith speaks more intensely, he will pat Smith on the shoulder to ask Smith to stay calm.
Barrister Michael Smith from the Johnson Smith Stewart law firm had faced off against Lu Ming in the Baoyin Bank case. He was the attorney representing the plaintiff, Chairman Bi Hanting, at the time.
Obviously, Cao Ying attached great importance to the lawyer's letter sent by Lu Ming. To take action, he found Donghai or the top law firm in the empire. The person who personally represented the lawsuit was Smith, a sixth-degree barrister.
Smith also represents the school.
In other words, the responsibilities of Cao Ying and the school will not be separated, and they will advance and retreat together.
Although a lawsuit with a claim amount of 600,000 yuan is definitely worthy of a heavyweight lawyer like Smith, and the entire law firm will fully support it and shift its focus to this super big case.
But judging from the facts of this case, it is obvious that the other party has a big mouth. This is a lawsuit worth thousands or even hundreds of dollars.
How much is the entire St. Anton Middle School worth?
However, Smith still came in person because the name of the person who sent the lawyer's letter was Lu Qianxing.
In Lu Ming's lawyer's letter, the responsibility that Cao Ying and Cao Ying need to bear in order to sue Cao Ying is that the "Fair Education Plan" launched by him and Principal Anderson seriously discriminated against and harmed local students in Donghai. interests, and caused a schoolboy named Gary Williams to lose the educational resources he should have enjoyed. In addition, he suffered a heavy blow to his self-confidence due to this kind of discrimination, gave up on himself, and became addicted to drugs. The responsibility for all this should be Principal Anderson and Cao Ying bear the responsibility respectively. Principal Anderson's actions represent the St. Anton School and need to bear most of the responsibility. Cao Ying bears a small part of the responsibility.
Smith’s point of view is that as a private school, St. Anton’s Middle School does not need to follow the guidelines of public schools. Private schools have the right to screen students according to any standards and have the right to reject any students who do not meet the admission standards of St. Anton’s Middle School. Students, moreover, are not required to give any reasons.
Katherine was beside her, feeling dizzy when she heard it. She never thought that it was just her nephew going to school in name.
Suddenly a huge compensation of hundreds of thousands was involved, causing a fierce collision between the two top law firms in the East China Sea.
Although the law firm of Lu Qianxing is more than ten levels behind Johnson Smith Stewart in terms of scale and lawyer level, it seems that with Lu Qianxing, even the largest firms are facing a formidable enemy and are going all out to go.
Is this guy so perverted?
I was really scared when I thought about calling him a pig.
Fortunately, we will be relatives in the future. Catherine glanced at Jennifer sitting next to her.
"Well, private schools no longer need to follow the principles of public schools. At this time, equality is no longer talked about? Attorney Smith, is this my understanding, correct?"
Sitting next to Lu Ming is his eldest disciple Tong Xiao'e. She speaks softly and has no sense of strength, but her soft cotton fist may be an extremely sharp steel needle.
Smith frowned, "No, I didn't say that. I just said that many of the guidelines for public schools do not apply to private schools."
Tong Xiao'e nodded, "So, specifically in this case, our client Gary Williams was not admitted to St. Anton's School even though his grades were better. Here, what was rejected by St. Anton's School? Isn’t it the principle of equality in public schools?” His voice was weak, but he pressed forward step by step.
Initially, Lu Qianxing sent this trainee lawyer, who was about twenty years old, as the first plaintiff’s attorney in the first round of negotiations. Smith was very angry, but he didn’t expect that this little girl’s film looked good. The two flesh look like they might make you cry if you yell, but they are so tight.
Private schools naturally do not need the principle of equal admission, but what St. Anton Middle School preaches all day long is equality and tolerance. As its attorney, naturally you cannot blame the school for the sake of a lawsuit. That is also serious. Behavior that harms the interests of the parties.
Smith considered his words, "Student A is higher than your client after adding points, so there is nothing unfair about it. In addition, our client is also very sorry for what happened to Gary Williams. If he is willing, we can send our school’s education experts to provide him with psychological counseling and treatment. We also hope that he can take our school’s special admissions exam next summer. This is entirely our school’s sympathy based on humanitarian principles, and It’s not that we think we have any responsibility.”
Tong Xiao'e shrugged her delicate little nose and said seriously: "Lawyer Smith, this kind of extra points is a kind of inequality. What do you think?"
Smith frowned and wanted to say something. Cao Ying patted Smith on the shoulder and smiled slightly at Lu Ming: "Mr. Lu, I know what you want to do? Attacking me in various newspapers is false equality, and it is even more hype. Case, you just hope that I can have a TV debate with you as scheduled, but I will not let you do it. Although, I don’t think you can get the support of the majority of people in the TV debate. I believe that the citizens of Donghai and There are still more kind-hearted voters in the third district. Giving some compensatory treatment to the poor descendants of black slaves is exactly a kind of equality. Most people will support me."
Lu Ming was originally thinking that his great disciple would be let out to live like a wild beast for nearly half a year, but he didn't expect that he was a little too powerful.
Of course, as far as this case is concerned, I have already told her all my thoughts, including which arguments to attack the other party, my main intention, etc. I discussed it with three apprentices yesterday, explained it myself, and added their questions. In three or four hours, the person who understood it best was the rich young lady Tong Xiao'e.
While thinking about it, when he heard Cao Ying talking to him, Lu Ming raised his head and smiled: "The equality in your ideal never existed. Therefore, our society has always only required relative equality. For admissions, the scores are relatively equal. As a reference, those with higher scores will be admitted, and those with lower scores will be eliminated. This is a kind of relative equality, regardless of whether the reason behind your high scores is because your family is rich and countless experts follow you for tutoring. "
"What you are doing now is to artificially interfere with this relative equality. This is a very dangerous behavior. I will tell you the possible harm in court. Why don't you debate with me on TV? No problem, but I believe that when you lose this lawsuit, you will become the fastest impeached local councilor in the history of Donghai. This is what you have been waiting for!"
"In the TV debate, if you listen to the real public opinion, it may make you more aware of the problem and give you a chance to change course."
Smith spread his hands: "Lawyer Lu, you are alarmist again. How can you win this lawsuit? Big deal, we admit that St. Anton's Middle School does not follow the principle of equality. As a private school, we admit those who want to be admitted. It’s our legal right to eliminate students we don’t want to admit! SO, it’s that simple!” He gestured to the recording secretary in the green skirt. "Don't record this sentence. In addition..." His eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the conference room, "As a speech in secret negotiations before the trial, if anyone spreads this sentence of mine, they will bear serious consequences. Legal Consequences."
SO, Lu Ming shook his head. This modal particle was somewhat similar to the Western language in his previous life, and the context in which it was used was also similar.
"Lawyer Lu, you don't agree with my point of view?" Smith looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled: "If you talk about inequality, then your school's approach is illegal and violates the legal principle of equality and segregation ruled by the Supreme Court of the Federal Empire."
Smith was stunned.
Cao Ying even laughed, "Qianxing, Qianxing, don't you know? In order to win this lawsuit, you have to support the apartheid policy?"
Lu Ming smiled: "You, an equal rights expert, can be unequal, but I support apartheid. Isn't it incredible?"
Smith pondered and whispered a few words in Cao Ying's ear, and Cao Ying nodded.
Smith stood up and said, "Lawyer Lu, it seems that we are still a long way from reaching a settlement. I hope that tomorrow, we will all make concessions and make big progress in our second round of negotiations. ”
Lu Ming nodded and stood up slightly, as if to send someone off. Seeing that Tong Xiao'e had quickly followed to see a few people out of the office, he sat back down again. Now, he was really a bit lazy.
Lu Ming stroked the tie on his chest and looked sideways at Catherine and Jennifer.
Jennifer immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Lu Ming. Originally, it was quite strange to watch the exchange of words between the two sides.
"Qianxing, you talk, you talk!" Catherine stood up, not caring about her sister-in-law's life and death, and left quickly.
"Why are you here with her? Why are you hanging out with her? You can't learn to be a good person." Lu Ming picked up the big cigar on the table, "Wang Daan, he has good cigars now! Give him a rub ."
Jennifer suddenly stood up, ran over two steps, sat down on the chair next to Lu Ming, reached out and took the cigar from Lu Ming's hand, making Lu Ming stunned for a while.
But I saw her picking up the small scissors in the cigar box again, carefully cutting off the paper and dried tobacco at the end of the cigar, and then carefully lighting a fire with a match. The small flames circled around the thick head of the cigar, which looked very similar. That's what happened.
Lu Ming laughed: "Why, your specialty is lighting cigars!"
But looking at this innocent noble lady in a snow skirt who is extremely beautiful and cautiously trying to get her approval, I can't help but feel a little strange in my heart.
Today, Catherine was originally supposed to bring her brother and sister-in-law. It would be best if the child could also come. Who knows, the real person involved did not arrive, so Catherine brought Jennifer instead.
Probably, her brother-in-law and nephew were a little embarrassed for her, making her unwilling to be associated with them in public.
However, Tong Xiao'e had already met the child and Catherine's brother and sister-in-law. What Catherine said was basically consistent with the facts, except that the child was already an out-and-out gangster.
In fact, if you think about it, this kid named Gary Williams may be a model of scum when he grows up in future generations.
But because you have crossed paths with yourself through eight hundred turns, you may turn around and become a multi-millionaire by the standards of future generations.
In past and present lives, as long as it is a human society, how can there be real fairness at all?
Shaking his head, Lu Ming looked at Jennifer and sighed softly: "I envy you now. If you don't have so many thoughts, your life will be easy."
Jennifer, however, saw a lot of smoke coming out of the cigar in Lu Ming's mouth, and she lit it as expected, smiling sweetly with a sense of accomplishment.
