House Law Firm.

Chris sat behind his desk, his eyes closed in thought.

There was a knock on the door, Matthew pushed the door and walked in, and said, "Boss, I have found someone to check, Zhao Guangmin returned to South Korea yesterday." ”

Chris opened his eyes, nodded, and said, "I didn't expect Andrew to take this step!" But after all, it is three million, and for the sake of this money, many people will be willing to take risks, and in comparison, falsifying evidence is nothing. ”

"It's my lack of consideration." Matthew said.

"It's not your fault, since things are already like this, then you can continue to contact Andrew and see what he plans to do next, whether he is in a hurry to enter the trial process, or is he ready to delay for a while to gain more fame for himself, try to persuade him to choose the latter, and then ......"

Chris told Matthew some questions and let Matthew leave.

Andrew's actions did surprise Chris and Matthew, but they were not too anxious, after all, Andrew aimed at Stanley and the New York Evening News this time, and the biggest purpose of letting Matthew get close to Andrew was to divert Andrew's firepower away from Xu An, and Chris was unwilling to let Xu An bear the notoriety, even if he was framed.

Now that their main purpose has been achieved, it is only that the newspaper and the reporter are afraid that there will be a lot of trouble.

After Matthew left Chris's office, before he could contact Andrew, Andrew found him impatiently, and in the reception room of House Law Firm, Matthew met the triumphant Andrew.

"Congratulations, Mr. Andrew, I can now feel more confident in this lawsuit!" Matthew laughed against his will.

Andrew's joy was overflowing, his face was full of red, as if he had already received the three million compensation, "Matthew, can we increase the amount of compensation?" ”

Matthew was stunned for a moment, he pondered for a while before saying: "Of course I hope that the higher the compensation, the better, after all, this is closely related to my agency fee, but I still don't recommend you to do this, if the compensation amount is too high, the other party may not compromise easily, a lawsuit may last a year to two years, and it is prone to variables, the number of three million is very good, enough to make the other party feel pain, gritted teeth but can bear it." ”

"Well, three million is three million!" Andrew was a little disappointed, but he was happy again when he thought that such a large sum of money was about to arrive: "Then can we speed up the litigation process?" I can't wait, you know, money is only your own if you put it in your pocket. ”

"Of course there is no problem, if you want to hurry, I will speed it up, sort out the materials and evidence and submit them to the court this morning, and strive to let the other party propose a settlement during the pre-trial procedure, it is too cumbersome to go through the trial procedure, and those judges and juries have strange tempers, no one can predict the outcome of the trial." Matthew said in a tone of wholehearted consideration for the customer.

Andrew nodded, agreeing with these words, "That's right, in the last trial I attended, the judge and the jury almost acquitted each other, just apologize to me, who needs a hellish apology?" Luckily, the guy was an idiot and angered the judge, who sentenced him to eight months in prison. ”

Matthew didn't pick up the topic, but asked, "Then you don't want to drag on the lawsuit for a while?" Whether it is 300,000 or 3 million, the New York Evening News will not be convinced, they will definitely find a lawyer to fight a lawsuit with us, and at the same time fight back through the newspaper, this is a rare good opportunity! ”

When it came to this issue, Andrew was a little entangled, he naturally hoped that it would be delayed as long as possible, but he was very uneasy that the money could not be received, and after weighing it, he still decided to stick to his original idea, "No, let it end as soon as possible, I want to get the compensation as soon as possible!" As for fame, isn't it about making money? ”

Matthew nodded, and did not persuade again, since Andrew was ready to commit perjury for the compensation of three million, it was useless to persuade him.

However, Matthew, as Andrew's lawyer, is beyond Andrew's control over the speed of the case, and Matthew has countless ways to drag the case out.

"If I'm not mistaken, that intern reporter named Zhao Guangmin was bought by you, right?" Matthew asked quietly.

Andrew smiled, a little proud, he wanted to tell the other party his plan, but he held back, he was not stupid, this kind of illegal thing is still known to the lesser people the better.

Zhao Guangmin was indeed bought by him, the upfront cost of 20,000 US dollars, and 50,000 US dollars after the fact, before the news was released, he arranged for Zhao Guangmin to go back to South Korea, the purpose was to make everyone unable to find him.

When the court finally starts, Zhao Guangmin will naturally come back from South Korea, and as a reward, he will also introduce the other party to the "Washington Post", of course, as an intern reporter, whether he can become a regular employee depends on Zhao Guangmin's own.

Andrew didn't say it, the voice recorder in Matthew's pocket didn't work, but he wasn't in a hurry, the time was still long, and he still had a lot of opportunities for Andrew to speak.

After some discussion, Andrew left House Firm, as if he had seen three million dollars beckoning to him!

As for Xu An, he decided to let go of that annoying guy for the time being, and get the compensation in his hands!

Stanley was fired from the newspaper without telling his family, and he still went to and from work normally for the past two days, looking the same as before.

Just this afternoon, he went to the café to sit all day.

In the evening, he calculated the time and returned home.

"Honey, are you ready for dinner? I'm starving! Stanley hung his clothes in the doorway and shouted as he walked inside, trying to make everything as usual.

But tonight there was no aroma of the usual meal at home, Stanley frowned, and his youngest daughter Cindy ran over and complained to her father aggrievedly: "Dad, Mom was lazy today, she didn't cook dinner." ”

Stanley picked up his little cutie, kissed her on the cheek, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't Mom cook dinner, did Cindy make Mom angry?" ”

"Of course not, mom is in a bad mood!" Cindy wrinkled her nose in her defense.

"Oh? Where's that mom? Stanley's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.

"Sleep in the bedroom!"

Stanley put his daughter down and said, "Baby, let's go play for a while, Dad will go see Mom, and then take you to the Dolphin Restaurant for dinner, how about it?" ”

"Wow, I'll order a fairy tale package!" Cindy makes her own demands.

"No problem!"

Stanley comforted his daughter and walked into the bedroom.

It was already dark, but the bedroom was not lit, and through the light in the living room, the figure lying on the bed in the bedroom could be seen, and Stanley exclaimed, "Anna? ”

He didn't get an answer, and Stanley walked over to the bedside, crouched down, and said, "Honey, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Anna sat up angrily, looked directly at her husband, and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?" ”

"I ......," Stanley frowned, he was sure that his wife must have known about her dismissal, so he stopped hiding it, "I'm sorry, Anna, I was fired from the newspaper." ”

Anna, who had long wavy hair, looked at her husband seriously, a little heartbroken, and a little angry, "Honey, I don't want to hear you apologize, you were fired, I believe it's not your fault, I'm angry that why are you hiding it from me?" ”

"I ......," Stanley was speechless.

"We're husband and wife, aren't we? I love you, Stanley, and you have to let me know everything, no matter what, not when I get the lawyer's letter, you know? Anna shook her husband's hand and said, "With your ability, it is not difficult to find another job, we still have some savings, which can cope with a while, as for the prosecution, you are a reporter, they can't do anything to you, the newspaper is just a side of the dick......"

"Anna, Anna, listen to me first, things aren't that bad, I was going to wait until I had taken care of everything before I told you." Stanley felt a little guilty, he took out a voice recorder from his pocket, and said, "Look, when I was fired two days ago, at the door of the newspaper office, a homeless man gave me this, which he picked up in the trash, the trash can near the New York Times!" ”

"What is this?" Anna was a little confused, and it seemed to her that Stanley was not frustrated or sad about being fired, but rather looked a little excited.

"You listen ......"

Stanley smiled and pressed the play button of the voice recorder.

"Andrew!! It's you, it's you who deleted my recording! …… Enough is enough, Ann, you son of a bitch, I deleted your recording, but so what? You don't have any evidence at all......"

……

"Why? Ann, I tell all this why! I hate you yellow-skinned monkeys and those, I can't stand it for a day, do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to see you inferior people walk by in front of my eyes every day? And Richie, Calf, Young, Flossen, you guys are not only in the same room with me, but maybe you'll be my boss in the future, how can I put up with it? Well? Especially you, Ann, a master's student at Columbia University's School of Journalism?! An alumnus of President Kars? I want to thank Natasha for that cousin, she gave me this opportunity, haha, Ann, you're going to be a disgrace to Columbia's School of Journalism......"

"Oh!" Anna covered her mouth in surprise and said in disbelief, "How could someone say such a thing?!" ”

Anna looked at her husband in surprise, and Stanley smiled but didn't speak, and squeezed her eyes at Anna.

Anna was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, she exclaimed: "Andrew, this is a recording of Andrew and the author named Xu An, God, how can this thing be here with you?" If Andrew knew, he wouldn't hesitate to eat it! ”
