728.Chapter 728
When the plane landed at Huping Airport, I was still very emotional, after all, I almost died when I was in the United States, and now that I can come back alive, it seems that my luck is really good. γγγFengyun Novel Reading Network Baolyγ
Li Zhengtang sent some people to pick us up at the airport and took us directly to his mansion in the western suburbs. In a well-furnished room with a doctor already arranged, I received the best care and treatment possible.
After the doctors had left, Li Zhengtang pushed open the door and walked in, with Saori behind him.
Saori's face was haggard, and the eyes that looked at me were full of mixed feelings, anxious and distressed, but more of that kind of bitter grievance.
I sighed, "Saori, come here, come to me, okay"
Li Zhengtang had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. Saori walked over quickly, and as soon as she took my hand, tears began to fall.
I looked at Li Zhengtang, and suddenly smiled and said, "Old man, I think you must have something to say to me."
Saori didn't speak, just looked at me with complicated eyes, and then looked at Lin Lan. Li Zhengtang's face was very gloomy, and he said lightly: "Don't talk about it today, I'll come back tomorrow morning to talk to you." β
Li Zhengtang looked at Saori, and suddenly said, "Are you going back with me?"
Saori bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, but still shook her head resolutely: "No, I'm here to accompany him." β
Li Zhengtang snorted coldly, glared at me, and then turned around and planned to leave.
"Wait." Lin Lan suddenly called out to Li Zhengtang.
Lin Lan had a smile on her face, and she said softly, "Uncle Li, I think we can talk about it first, okay, do you have time now?"
Li Zhengtang frowned, thought about it, and said coldly: "I'll wait for you in the study." β
After Li Zhengtang left, I smiled bitterly and said, "Lan Lan, what are you going to do?"
Lin Lan rolled her eyes and smiled in my ear: "I don't plan to do anything, I just want to help you solve a little trouble." β
After saying that, Lin Lan stood up, suddenly pushed Saori into my arms, grinned and flashed out.
To be honest, I never knew what Lin Lan and Li Zhengtang talked about that day, and I didn't know what Lin Lan said to Li Zhengtang. Originally, I always thought that when Li Zhengtang found out about the killing of me and Lin Lan, he would be furious, and then forbid me to associate with Saori again. But I was very surprised by the facts. This old lonely fox actually changed all of a sudden. Ignore the qiΔ between me and Saori.
I stayed in Li Zhengtang's mansion for one night.
Saori stayed with me in the room for the night, and she leaned against me the whole night. She didn't cry, but coaxed me in a different way and gave me all her tenderness. I think that's what sets Saori apart from other women. If it were Dandan and I came back with a wound, I would probably cry half to death. Saori just sat beside me, gently stroking my forehead with her hand, and whispering softly in my ear.
Saori said a lot to me throughout the night, but there was only one thing I remembered.
Her words were, "Take me back." β
Lin Lan didn't come to see me again for a night.
The next day, I insisted on going back to Jingbian. I still have so much to do.
When Li Zhengtang saw me, although his face was still not very happy, he didn't say anything more. There was something hidden in his eyes, and although I couldn't see what it was, I could tell that he had a lot to say, or that he had actually decided not to say anything anymore.
I calmly offered that I would bring Saori back. I thought that Li Zhengtang would be furious, or rush up and slap me twice, or scold me and kick me out. But very unexpectedly, Li Zhengtang only thought for a few seconds, and then nodded silently. I looked at Lin Lan, but found that Lin Lan had a shallow smile on her face. That walked a standard "Lin Lan-style" smile.
So, I sat in a wheelchair, took Lin Lan and Saori's mother and son, and Daniel, a loyal bodyguard, and flew back to Jingbian from Huping together.
A few hours later. When I came out of the Rokukou Airport in Jingbian, I looked at the familiar buildings around me and the crowds of people passing by. I finally had a feeling in my heart that I would be left with the aftermath of the catastrophe.
I whispered to myself and to God: "I'm finally back." β
I went back to the company directly, ignoring Lu Qian'er's surprise at me coming back in a wheelchair. The first thing I did was to ask Lu Qian'er to help me find a lawyer. I offered a very high price and just needed to find the best lawyer.
Money can buy a lot of things, including time. It only took a few hours. Lu Qian'er walked into my office with a man about forty years old.
I sat in the back of the office with a blank face, playing with a paper cutter in my hand. He looked carefully at the lawyer in front of him. I had a very critical look in my eyes.
This person is dressed very neatly, his face is also very upright, and his expression is very calm. I'm very happy with that. Only a person who is full of self-confidence in his heart can guarantee a calm attitude at all times.
He didn't seem to be affected by my gaze at all, with that very calm expression on his face, and said lightly: "My surname is Zhen." Zhen Wensu. He is a lawyer at Wensu Law Firm. β
I smiled and asked him to sit down, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, my body is not very convenient and I can't stand up." "Do you need my services for anything?" said Lawyer Zhen quietly after sitting down.
"Hmm." I pondered for a moment and said, "I have a case and want to entrust you to help me fight a lawsuit." Transnational. β
I pointed to the materials on the table. Lawyer Zhen took the information and did not look at it directly, but asked first: "Before looking at the materials specifically, I would like to hear from you to give me a brief introduction." β
"It's pretty simple." I laughed and said, "I turned out to be the executive director of the French company Odd. But not long ago, the company suddenly fired me before the contract with me expired, so I would like to entrust you to file a claim against them. β
"Please continue." Zhen Wensu's face remained unchanged and said lightly.
I nodded, pleased with his attitude. President of the French company Audad. This title is enough to surprise many people, and Zhen Wensu doesn't even have a surprised expression on his face, so there can only be two possibilities. Or, he has no idea what the French company Odd is, which of course is unlikely. Because of such a well-known company, it is impossible for a lawyer like him not to have heard of it. There is another possibility, which can only be said to be that he has a calmness and composure beyond ordinary people when he encounters anything. This is undoubtedly a very good quality.
"It's a little bit more complicated." I said lightly: "The French Aode company itself is jointly controlled by two other companies, that is, the Zhengtang Group and the K company of the United States, and I am a member of the K company, they occupy a small half of the shares of the Austrian company, I am an employee sent by them, and they appointed me as the general director of the French Aode company. Of course, this appointment was also agreed to by another holding company, the Zhengtang Group. However, a few days ago, I suddenly received a notice from my company K, that they had directly dismissed me and dismissed me from all their positions, and correspondingly, my position in the French company Aud was naturally dismissed. I was fired by them, and it was a direct expulsion against the agreement. So I'm going to file a claim against them. β
"It's a bit complicated, really." Lawyer Zhen thought for a moment and said, "So how are you going to fight this lawsuit, and how much compensation do you want to get?"
I smiled, looking a little sly: "I am ready to file a financial claim of five million dollars against the American company K. Lawyer Zhen nodded and said, "Then I need to ask, when you signed the agreement, did the agreement stipulate the amount of liquidated damages that would be compensated once one party breached the contract?"
"Nope." I replied lightly. I am telling the truth, the appointment at that time was originally arranged by Lin Lan, and everyone knew that it was just a show, so they didn't pay attention to the terms of the contract. Anyway, I took advantage.
"It's going to be a little difficult." Lawyer Zhen's face showed a little embarrassment, he thought for a while, and said: "Because there is no clause in the contract that stipulates liquidated damages, so about the amount of this claim, um." Company K is a U.S. company, so I had to look up the relevant U.S. laws. It takes a certain amount of time, and. He paused at this point, seeming to hesitate.
"It's okay, please don't hesitate to tell me if you have any questions." I smiled faintly.
"IMHO." Lawyer Zhen sat up straight and said, "Personally, I think the amount of claim you made is a bit unrealistic. According to some other cases. In an international company of this level as Aode Company, the breach of contract dismissal claim of senior management should generally have some relevant clauses in the contract signed at the beginning. As a general rule, the amount of liquidated damages should be between two and three times the annual salary. β
I asked, "My annual salary at Odd is about $1.5 million, and I'm proposing $5 million in compensation, which is just over three times that." It should be reasonable."
"It's different." Lawyer Zhen smiled: "What I said is under the condition that the two parties originally agreed on the liquidated damages clause. The problem is your situation. There is no liquidated damages clause on the agreement you have signed with them, so they have every good reason to dismiss your claim. β
I nodded: "Please continue." β
Lawyer Zhen thought for a while, seemed to be considering what kind of wording was more appropriate, and finally said slowly: "I personally have a plan." You can limit your claim to $1,000,000. IMHO, because there is no liquidated damages clause on your agreement, you are now at a relative disadvantage in the dispute. It will be difficult to win this lawsuit. If it is five million dollars, the other party will definitely refuse. But if it's a million dollars, for a large company of the level of Company K, they are likely to choose to accept this condition, and we can try to reach an out-of-court settlement instead of going to court to face it head-on. If you really want to go through the legal process, you. You're going to lose out, and you're at a disadvantage when it comes to agreements. β
"Thank you for your advice." I nodded and smiled, "But I'm still insisting on five million dollars in compensation." β
