Chapter 76: No one paved the way for her
But in any case, the current lawsuit with the franchisee still has to be fought, Jiang Ci simply put all his mind into it, and set out to find the loopholes and flaws of the other party.
During this period, Lu Xinghan and Cui He helped one after another, which made her progress speed up a lot, and Jiang Ci's original grasp of thirty percent gradually increased to seven or eight percent, and people didn't seem so anxious.
Within two days, the inspection reports of the machines were sent to the law firm, but they were accidentally mixed into Lu Xinghan's courier by the front desk and delivered to him.
When Lu Xinghan first opened the package, he didn't react until he saw the court's summons.
However, it stands to reason that it didn't take long for Jiang Ci to submit the complaint, no matter how fast it was, it would take another ten days and half a month, but now that all the processes have been completed, just waiting for the trial, I'm afraid that there is still Jiang Jingzhan's operation in this.
Lu Xinghan stared at the document in his hand, his expression uncertain.
After a long time, he packed all the materials and sent them to Jiang Ci's office in person, "Xiao Ci, is it convenient for me to come in?" He stood at the door and knocked.
Jiang Ci was burying his head in processing the documents, and when he heard the voice, he raised his head and said, "Mr. Lu, why are you here?" ”
Lu Xinghan handed over the envelope and said, "This courier was sent to you, and it was accidentally delivered to my office, so I sent it back to you." ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly and explained, "I only found out after I opened the package, sorry. ”
Jiang Ci waved his hand, "It's okay." She opened the envelope, quickly glanced at the contents, and said in amazement, "The franchisee's case will be ready for court soon." ”
"Well, are you sure now?" Lu Xinghan sat opposite her.
Jiang Ci shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Basically, there is, but it has not reached the final ending, and there is always some worry in my heart, after all, the other party will not fight an unprepared battle." ”
Lu Xinghan comforted her, "Don't be afraid, judging from the evidence you have so far, the success rate is still very high, by the way, before the trial, I want to find an opportunity to invite Xiao Yu to dinner, is it okay?" ”
Jiang Ci asked, "Do you have something to do with her?" ”
"At the beginning, he called his brother-in-law twice, and now that she is in trouble, I hope she can help a little." Lu Xinghan said in a joking tone.
He suddenly mentioned the past, which made Jiang Ci feel a little uncomfortable, and Jiang Yu's current situation really gave her a headache.
"Forget it, I'm basically in a state where I can't contact her now." Jiang Ci rubbed his forehead, "Even if I came to her recently to learn about the case, I left a message in advance, if she is in a good mood, she will reply, and if she is in a bad mood, she may hang me." ”
For this, Jiang Ci wanted to go to the apartment to find her several times, but in the end he couldn't bear it.
First, with Jiang Yu's character, in fact, there is no way to provide any useful information at all, and she has to rely on her to explore slowly, and secondly, Jiang Ci also plans to no longer care about her life and death after this lawsuit is over.
"She's like this, it's easy to get into trouble." Lu Xinghan twisted his eyebrows.
Now that she has caused enough trouble, Jiang Ci's brain began to jump suddenly, in order to avoid being angry to death, she changed the topic and said, "By the way, how has Qiao's side been doing recently?" ”
"I've recently seen Senior Brother Cui with a sad face all day long, isn't it tricky?" Jiang Zi asked.
Lu Xinghan replied, "It's not particularly tricky, it's just that the celebrity rejected the conditions we gave and insisted on the endorsement fee set in the original contract, so there was a bit of a stalemate." ”
"Who is the star who endorses Qiao's?" Jiang Ci was a little curious.
Lu Xinghan, "It's a guy named Ye Tzu. ”
It turned out to be her, Jiang Ci was a little surprised, but she had also met Ye Ci a few times before, and she obviously looked quite beautiful, so why did she get into a lawsuit with Qiao's in a blink of an eye.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Ci asked, "Why, Qiao's wants to reduce Ye Ci's endorsement fee?" ”
Lu Xinghan saw that she was interested in this lawsuit, so he took the opportunity to say, "As far as I know, it was Ye Ci who offended people, which led to many brands taking the initiative to terminate their contracts with her recently. ”
"Moreover, from the current point of view, she will not have any new works in the next year, and the traffic will be greatly reduced, Qiao Shi doesn't want to be the big boss, so he wants to terminate the contract."
In fact, according to the convention, Qiao's did this, not only did Ye Ci have no choice, but also faced compensation, after all, if there was a stain on the star during the endorsement period, it was considered a breach of contract.
But when Ye Ci was at the height of the limelight, Qiao's added a clause to the contract that the contract could not be terminated early without reason, in order to show sincerity.
Because of this, things have come to this point.
"The most important thing is that although Ye Ci's condition is worrying now, she has not spread these things, her fan base is still there, and the person she offended does not want to be involved, so whether Qiao's wants to terminate the contract or fight a lawsuit, she will be besieged by fans." Lu Xinghan said.
If a brand loses the love of consumers, then it is not far from going out of business, and Qiao's is worried about this, so he thinks it is best to solve it privately.
Offending people, Ye Ci has Jiang Jingzhan's backing, don't be afraid of offending anyone, right?
Wait, I heard Lu Xinghan say that just now, it seems that the time when her career began to decline is the time when Jiang Jingzhan and her are separated.
It seems that Ye Ci is not offending people, but is missing his paving, right?
Thinking of the relationship between the two, Jiang Ci felt faintly uncomfortable in her heart, and even her face became a little worse, she said casually, "Then it seems that there is still a tug of war in this case." ”
"Well, that's why Cui He is more irritable." Lu Xinghan said.
Subsequently, he found that Jiang Ci's face seemed to be a little wrong, and when he thought about what he had just discussed, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
Lu Xinghan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiaozi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Jiang Ci stiffened suddenly, he didn't expect his emotions to leak so much, so he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I still have to deal with the court defense materials, so I won't talk about it for now." ”
This is a rush in disguise, Lu Xinghan's mood just improved, and he went back in a low voice, he nodded, his face did not show it, "Okay, then you are busy first." ”
Still, after leaving the office, he was a little puzzled.
Obviously it was okay just now, why did he change his face so well? Lu Xinghan was puzzled, and walked to the pantry, intending to make himself a cup of coffee by the way.
"Then Ye Ci is really good-tempered, it's a shame that I still liked her before."
Inadvertently, Lu Xinghan heard this complaint, his heart moved slightly, and he stopped inexplicably, and the conversation inside continued.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Harm, I originally wanted to call them today to confirm some things, but before I could speak, they scolded me and almost killed me."
"A big star, it's understandable that she has a big shelf, but now that the wall is down, everyone is still so arrogant, and I don't know where she got the confidence."
"I heard that she used to be President Jiang's lover."
"What? Really? ”
"It should be true, it is said that Ye Ci was also pregnant, but she was later defeated."
"This didn't succeed in getting to the top, it seems that it's just like that, then again, this kind of thing, didn't those paparazzi find out?"
Hearing this, Lu Xinghan contacted the situation at that time again, and vaguely understood in his heart, he smiled bitterly, and he was not interested in drinking coffee.
Not long after he left, another sentence came out of the pantry, "There were also reports about them at that time, but Ye Ci clarified later, and there was no similar news after that, I guess it was the one who made the move." ”
The discomfort in Jiang Ci's heart quickly dissipated in her busyness, and there were only seven or eight days left before the trial time, during which she had to find evidence that hit with one blow.
Otherwise, whether it is a petty bourgeois loan or a franchisee, they will be on guard, and it will be useless to fight a lawsuit when the time comes.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Ci was busy day and night.
Jiang Jingzhan saw her desperate posture and wanted to force her to stop and rest several times, but after thinking about it, he still didn't interfere.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the court to begin.
On this day, Jiang Ci deliberately got up early in the morning, sat in front of the dresser and drew a lot of makeup for herself, her eyebrows were raised, the shadows deepened, and her originally gentle face began to show a little strong under her outline.
After drawing all the steps, Jiang Ci looked at his pale lips, and was just about to pick out lipstick, when a shadow suddenly covered him.
Jiang Jingzhan's eyes swept over the table, picked out a lipstick from it, and handed it to Jiang Ci, "Paint this." ”
Jiang Ci lowered his eyes, and his mind flashed the picture of him throwing away Lu Xinghan's lipstick a few days ago, as well as the picture of him and Ye Ci having interacted, and his lips couldn't help pursing, but he didn't take it immediately.
Fortunately, Jiang Jingzhan didn't see her abnormality, so he put it in front of her casually and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs." ”
Jiang Ci listened to the footsteps behind him and walked away, looked at the lipstick in front of him, and picked one again, but after applying it, he felt a little dissatisfied no matter how he looked at it.
She frowned slightly and wiped it off with a tissue.
Then he looked at himself in the mirror in a daze, and after a moment of daze, he still picked up the one Jiang Jingzhan gave her like a ghost and slowly wiped it on.
The color he picked was red, and after applying it, it unexpectedly matched her makeup very well, and it seemed that her whole body was full of aura.
When you're not smiling, it even seems a little unapproachable.
Jiang Ci looked at it for a moment, got up and went downstairs, at this time Jiang Jingzhan was sitting at the dining table, heard the movement, raised her eyes and looked over, these few seconds of looking at it made her nervously grasp the handrail.
What does it mean that he doesn't speak? Don't you think it's pretty? Or do you have something else in mind?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Jiang Ci's head, and she mustered up the courage to look at Jiang Jingzhan, trying to distinguish some emotions from his eyes, but unfortunately failed.
Her whole body became more and more stiff.
