Chapter 21: Robert, the Lawyer
Stephen moved most of his garage to the mountains.
There are six supercars parked in the garage, five of which are Ferraris, one Enz and one LaFerrari, and the bright red color is particularly eye-catching.
Stephen took Rafa's car keys and opened the door for Chen Mo......
The cool way of opening the door stopped Chen Mo at that time.
"Very good expression...... Stephen smiled, "I'm not here to show off, it's to show off my strength, to let them know that they can't mess with someone." ”
"You're really just a lawyer?"
"My main work in the firm is as an asset acquisition and venture capital advisor, and I am rarely involved in court litigation. Of course, I have some investments myself. Stephen smiled: "There is a saying in the San Francisco Bay Area, multimillionaires walk all over the streets, and millionaires are not as good as dogs." Billionaires are the real rich...... I'm still far from being a rich man, but I'm a person who is easy to satisfy. ”
Stephen put his skills to good use, racing all the way, choosing the nearest route to San Jose, taking the American Canyon to Oakland, and walking to the East Bay District, just past Oakland, Rayong called and said that he had come out of the police station.
Stephen found a lawyer who was quite efficient. Rayong is on his way to St. Mary's Hospital and has a full body check-up......
Rayong was arrested at the police station, so naturally he was not injured much, and it was also the lawyer's suggestion to go to the hospital for a physical examination. In Stephen's words, to sue three marijuana smokers to bankruptcy, and as far as the confessions provided by both parties are concerned, this is a win-win lawsuit. The lawyer Stephen hired was named Robert, and he was the most skilled person in handling this type of case, but he was also an unscrupulous figure.
"Hey, Mr. Robert?" Chen Mo received a call from Robert.
"Hello Mr. Chen Mo, we are on our way to the hospital...... By the way, I have already drafted a file to file a lawsuit with the court, accusing the three of them with intentional injury, verbal provocation and verbal insults, and announcing the occasion of smoking marijuana. and lawsuits filed by homeowners for mismanagement of the property...... A total of $5 million in compensation was proposed to the three people, and $2 million was paid to the homeowner...... But their companion, Ms. Wang Huili, was willing to settle out of court. ”
Chen Mo's expression was quite exciting.
He pressed the exemption and looked at Stephen.
Stephen nodded: "5 million compensation is unlikely, but after the lawsuit, the three of them will file for bankruptcy." In addition, the owner of the house can file a claim for improper management of the property......" Robert received a few phone calls on the way here, and continued: "The 445-foot house, three bedrooms and two living rooms, has nine tenants. Ms. Wang Huili was one of the first tenants to move into the house, and the owner of the house had seriously violated their rights under the contract three years ago. In addition, Robert's assistant contacted several other tenants and was willing to file a lawsuit together. ”
Four hundred and forty-five feet, that is, more than one hundred and thirty square meters, nine people?
"You have an old Chinese saying, sit on the ground and start the price, then how to ......"
"Pay back on the spot. ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
In California, marijuana is a legal area, and it can be bought in many places such as pharmacies and small supermarkets. But smoking marijuana is only allowed in private......
Coming to St. Mary's Hospital, a high-end private hospital, Rayong has already done a check-up, abrasions on the skin, and it is nothing to do with applying some red potion.
Chen Mo went over and slapped Luo Yong's shoulder: "Hob meat is hob meat, okay." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Luo Yong's face was blue, but he didn't expect that his shoulder was also injured, and he grinned with his teeth, revealing a resentful expression: "It hurts." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, good. ”
Chen Xiaohui was still worried next to her, but when she saw the way the two of them looked now, she laughed.
"Old fellow, long time no see. Robert, who looked fifty years old, was white, dressed very formally in a shirt, he looked very familiar with Stephen, and the two hugged each other fiercely: "You guy, quit without saying a word." ”
"Retired. Let me introduce, this is Chen Mo, the disciple of Mr. Duanmu Qing. ”
Chen Mo turned his head: "Hello Mr. Robert. ”
"Hello. Robert smiled: "Stephen is the CEO of your estate?"
"Hmm. ”
"I'm his best friend, and you'll have to entertain me well when I have the opportunity to be a guest at the manor. ”
"No problem......" Chen Mo smiled.
Stephen rolled his eyes, "You're not my best friend." ”
"Old bastard, obviously. ”
"Okay, okay, you say yes is ......"
The two of them went to the side to catch up and talk about the case by the way.
"How are the three guys, in the police station or in the hospital......" Chen Mo asked as he handed Luo Yong a cigar.
"One is in the hospital and the other two are in the police station. Who is that Robert, very awesome look. Rayong thought of being in the police station just now, as if the entire police station was very familiar with him, and even the police chief came out.
"A lawyer who is very well known in litigation. He has learned about the case and promised to sue the three of them for bankruptcy, what do you think?"
Luo Yong glanced at Chen Xiaohui's aunt, Wang Huili. There is also a Chinese couple standing next to Wang Huili, who should be Chinese or Chinese, in their thirties. What was the couple begging Wang Huili for......
Wang Huili looked at Chen Mo and walked over: "Xiao Chen...... Can you get a lawyer to drop the lawsuit. ”
"Why?" Chen Mo asked puzzled.
Wang Huili looked entangled: "When people are abroad, more things are better than less." And the landlord is my friend...... By the way, are they willing to pay the full amount?"
"Advance?"
"Payment...... Pay. The man in the couple walked over and said with a smile: "Including Xiao Luo's medical expenses and lawyer's fees." ”
Chen Mo glanced at Luo Yong and asked what he meant.
"The out-of-court settlement was settled. Luo Yong said depressedly: "Come and play, don't spoil the mood." ”
"Whatever you want. ”
Chen Mo went over and talked to Robert.
"Out-of-court settlement?" Robert shrugged helplessly, "My charges are very high." ”
"Absolutely. ”
"Just kidding. Let's go, go to the police station and see how to settle out of court. ”
At the police station, the man who went to the hospital for a check-up was also brought back. Smoking marijuana is cool for a while, and the excitement comes to do anything. The three of them work in a technology company in Silicon Valley, and their monthly salaries are not low, and now they are calming down, thinking about how to keep their jobs and win the lawsuit. The three of them also hired a lawyer, but after learning what happened and knowing that the other party's lawyer was Robert, they were so frightened that they almost couldn't pee, knowing that the case had no chance of winning, and they were also trying their best to settle out of court.
In his opinion, this case has been won if it can be settled out of court. Robert is much more well-known in the legal profession than Stephen, and is notoriously undisciplined. If this case goes to court, with Robert's style, his three clients will definitely end their careers in the future, and they may even face prison time.
The opposing lawyer is willing to compensate Rayong for their mental damages, treatment expenses, nutrition expenses, etc., just hoping that the matter will not cause trouble in the company of the three of them, and that they can keep their jobs......
