558 Trip to Los Angeles(4)

558 (Commuter pass plus 10)

On January 20, 46 hours after Fu Zhengye's arrest, Los Angeles prosecutors filed felony charges, and Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu immediately decided to try him as soon as possible, so the court arranged for a trial two days later.

There were still two days in between, and they were not idle, and they made an appointment with someone from another case to talk about settlement.

The other party still asked to go to the hotel where Fu Zhengye had an accident to negotiate, Fu Shiyu felt that the place was ominous, and insisted that the other party go to the law firm to negotiate, otherwise the case would go directly to the litigation process.

As soon as the words were released, the other party really agreed to go to the law firm to negotiate.

On Saturday, which was the Chinese New Year's Eve for the Chinese, Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu were in a foreign country running for Fu Zhengye's case.

There is still an hour left before the negotiations.

Tang Xien put on a tie for Fu Shiyu at the hotel, and prepared to go directly from the hotel to the law firm for a while. In order to facilitate the handling of the case, they stayed in a hotel near the law firm, which was a five-minute walk away.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the matter is over in the afternoon, let's go to Chinatown to eat hot pot, right?" Fu Shiyu suddenly suggested.

Tang Xien, who was helping him tie, was surprised, and the tie in his hand was almost correct, "If you don't say it, I forgot that today is Chinese New Year's Eve." She smiled and put a nice knot on his tie.

She turned to get him the suit jacket, stood behind him and stretched out the jacket with a good design, he put it on, turned around, and pulled the suit off his body.

She suddenly remembered an important matter: "You said that your mother and grandfather would not know about this case, but during the Chinese New Year, we and your father are both staying in the United States, won't your mother want to come together?" ”

"I told her that some of the accounts were not coming back and that they were suing, so we both came over to help. She directly said that she was going back to her mother's house in the south for the New Year this year. ”

"This ......," Tang Xien smiled, "Your mother is so deceitful." ”

Fu Shiyu didn't have any joke on his face: "Because she and grandpa believe in us very much, they never thought that the two of us would lie to them together with my father." ”

Who's to say it isn't? The one who can be deceived is always the one who believes in himself the most, so people should not lie easily and consume the trust of others in themselves.

Tang Xien didn't know what to say, at this moment, everything seemed sarcastic and out of place.

She quickly changed herself into a smart black suit, because she was pregnant, so she only wiped the maternity skin care products, and she didn't wear makeup for several days. There must be a pale complexion and a pale complexion, but it is good for the baby.

Half an hour later, Fu Shiyu walked to the law firm a few hundred meters away with the information in one hand and Tang Xien in the other.

The overseas legal business of Fu has always been handled by this law firm, and this time Fu Zhengye had an accident, and the law firm also assigned the best criminal lawyer to him, and today's transnational cases are also handled by the partners of the law firm in person.

A group of six people entered the conference room, sat in a row, and waited for the other party to come.

Tang Xien asked Fu Shiyu quietly: "I won't speak for a while, if there is anything you need my help with, you can remind me." "She is not as familiar with this case as Fu Shiyu, so it is wisest to remain silent.

Fu Shiyu nodded, moved the hand on the table under the table, held her tightly, lowered his voice and said to her, "Remember that we will gather around the fireplace by ourselves at night." ”

Hot pot has always been Tang Xien's favorite, and tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve in another country, although it reminds Tang Xien a little of the loneliness of being homeless in those years of study, but fortunately, his beloved has always been together, so the feeling is very different at this moment.

She leaned her head next to his ear and said softly, "It's not the two of us, it's our family of three!" ”

Her voice was soft, and the breath that came out with that sentence was soft, brushing his ears; But these words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, grinding into his heart, warm and dry.

.

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, the people from the other side came over one after another, three high-level officials, and two lawyers.

Fu Shiyu didn't talk nonsense with them, and as soon as the people sat down, he immediately cut to the chase.

Before the other party came, he already knew that Fu Zhengye's son was going to negotiate on his behalf, so when he saw Fu Shiyu now, he saw his youth, and thought that he was the same as Fu Zhengye, he was also a soft persimmon, so he acted a little disappreciative.

Fu Shiyu asked the other party directly, what is the reason for refusing to pay for the project? As Tang Xien expected, the other party said that it was because Fu's drilling company delayed the delivery of the project by half a year.

Fu Shiyu immediately asked Fu Zhengye's assistant to distribute several copies of the agreement to the other party, and when the other party and his party saw it, their faces all changed.

Other drilling companies also had the problem of delaying the delivery of the project, but because the other party did not plan to make bankruptcy preparations at that time, it was in a normal state of operation, so they paid the project payment on time.

The other party's senior management defended themselves in a hurry and said that they had signed extendable agreements with those companies, and Fu Shiyu immediately asked them to show the extension agreements to prove it.

As a person with a background in construction and engineering, he knew that the client would not sign such an agreement with the project party, so he had a tough attitude.

Naturally, the people on the other side could not come up with this thing for a while, so they came prepared and made a big fuss about the contract signed with Fu, pointing out that Fu's drilling company violated human rights during the construction process, so according to the contract, they could refuse to pay. Witnesses were even prepared to prove that there were life-threatening working conditions on the rig, which caused the workers to fall from the rig and almost die.

The witness came with the information on the condition of the injury at that time, and after Fu Zhengye's assistant confirmed that there was indeed such an employee, Fu Shiyu briefly went through the case information brought by the witness.

It's just that after reading it, he fell silent.

The people on the other side couldn't help but be proud, thinking that this case could be closed, and when they thought that the billions of dollars of project money could not be paid, Fu Shiyu suddenly asked the witness with a smile: "Our drill rigs are all on land, may I ask what happened to the sea water in the lungs of this witness who was injured at that time?" After falling from the rig to the sand, did you run hundreds of kilometers away into the sea and choke on some seawater before calling the hospital emergency number? ”

The witness was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, his eyes dodged, and he frequently looked at the opposing lawyer.

Fu Shiyu's face suddenly changed, the smile on his face was all retracted, and all the case information brought by the witness was thrown to the center of the negotiation table.

The other party knew that the general trend had gone, and they were ready to leave with their bags, saying that after going back to discuss, they would agree on the time for negotiation, Fu Shiyu refused strongly, saying that the case was not solved today, and a lawsuit would be filed as soon as possible.
