Chapter 100: Hongmen Banquet

Xu Xiaxi looked at Fu Lichen expectantly.

Want to know how he cares?

After all, the probability of upholding the original verdict in the second instance has reached more than 99%, and there is no problem of procedural and factual determination in this case, so according to common sense, the original verdict should only be upheld.

It's just that now that this case is represented by Fu Lichen, Xu Xiaxi can't help but guess if Fu Lichen can turn things around again?

Fu Lichen swept the bangs on Xu Xiaxi's forehead and said with a smile: "What's the hurry, let's take a look at the situation." ”

The four got off the plane, and someone was already waiting at the West Market Airport in a car.

The person who picked up the airport claimed to be the contact person of the plaintiff company in charge of the case, and had booked a hotel and invited them to have dinner together, so as to learn about the latest developments in the case by the way.

The car took them to a five-star hotel with Northwest characteristics.

The plaintiff company, Xirong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., opened a private room on the second floor of the hotel as a venue for the reception.

But when Xu Xiaxi walked in, there were already two people sitting inside.

A younger lad quickly got up from his seat and bowed to them.

The other middle-aged man looked like he was about forty or fifty years old, with a fat head and big ears, the corners of his mouth drooping, and his expression was arrogant, as if he despised everyone.

He sat in the innermost main seat, and when he saw the guests entering the room, he just raised his eyelids, then nodded slightly, and said in the tone of the leader's speech: "You can sit by yourself when you come, you are welcome, feel free." ”

But he didn't mean to get up to greet him at all, and he didn't even introduce himself.

The attitude is so arrogant that it is almost impossible to see.

And the person led by Xu Xiaxi's side was Fu Lichen, who was so snubbed, and there was no resentment on his face, just glanced at the contact person who took them here.

Meaningful.

The contact person probably also felt the awkward atmosphere, and hurriedly stood up and took the initiative to introduce them: "This is Mr. Yuan, the general manager of our company, and he is also the legal representative of the company.

This case is the sole responsibility of Mr. Yuan. When the second instance is held, Mr. Yuan will also participate. ”

Xu Xiaxi was surprised that the other party had sent such a big 'official' to follow up on the case, no wonder the other party looked arrogant, and he had to look at people with his nostrils while sitting.

But if you think about it carefully, the subject matter of this case is hundreds of millions, as long as the company is not too rich to burn, it will be very important!

However, it was the first time she had seen such a 'big-name' client, not only did she not regard the lawyer as a savior, but she looked like an uncle when she gave money.

said that it was for them to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but before they came, this Mr. Yuan opened the banquet himself.

Where is this reception banquet, it is clearly a Hongmen banquet, specially for them to get off the horse!?

Xia Xi was a little worried, and secretly looked at Fu Lichen's eyes, but found that their lawyer Fu didn't seem to be aware of Mr. Yuan's negligence at all.

The other party asked them to take a seat, and Fu Lichen really picked a seat to sit down.

Xu Xiaxi was apprehensive, but she had always listened to Fu Lichen's words and followed Fu Lichen.

After only hesitating for a second, he obediently sat down in front of Fu Lichen.

Then, she saw a trace of gloom flashing in Mr. Yuan's eyes, but she was quickly pressed down by him, and picked up the vegetables as if nothing happened.

While eating, he chatted with the young man next to him and hung them aside.

The plaintiff's contact person was full of embarrassment, and his leader suddenly played a big card and belittled the guest, which made him very uncomfortable.

He tried to find a topic to break this embarrassment, but he didn't want Fu Lichen to 'consciously' serve a bowl of soup and drink it with his head down.

and ignore him.

The liaison person was already crying and scolding his mother in his heart: these two people are big names, and they have a high shelf, so they completely ignore the life and death of the grassroots masses like them.

Mr. Yuan was very dissatisfied with the lawyer's loss of the lawsuit, and believed that the agency company's incompetence led to such a result. Even if Yu Yingying has promised that there will be no additional fees for the second trial, he still has to give them a dismissal first, so that they will not dare to be perfunctory in the future.

As for the lawyer's side, this legendary gold medal lawyer in the sea market has a halo, and even people in inland cities have heard of it, not to mention that they will be worshipped, at least no matter where they go, they will at least get the respect they deserve. Now that he is so neglected, he will definitely not compromise easily.

The two sides are deadlocked, each 'doing its own thing', and it seems that they are having a good time.

It made him so embarrassed that he almost wanted to hit the wall, but there was no way to break the stalemate.

It was a silent battle between the client and the lawyer.

What was originally a relationship of cooperation and mutual benefit suddenly became like this, and everyone else present also looked at each other, but no one dared to speak without permission.

Until the end of a dinner party, neither Fu Lichen nor the little boss spoke.

Fu Lichen put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to the contact person with a calm expression: "It's not early, then we'll check in first." ”

He didn't even leave a request like 'contact with me again if there is something', and got up to leave.

Everyone: "......"

That Mr. Yuan probably didn't expect that he would be disadvantaged, but he was ignored more thoroughly.

The expression on his face for a moment is also wonderful.

Seeing that Fu Lichen was really leaving, Mr. Yuan couldn't hold his breath anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Lawyer Fu, wait a minute." ”

Fu Lichen stopped, looked back at Mr. Yuan calmly, and asked lightly: "I don't know what else Mr. Yuan has to say?" ”

In his tone, there seemed to be real doubt.

Mr. Yuan was choked up, and his face was still unhappy when he spoke, "Lawyer Fu said that he was representing our company in the case, but now he has no intention of interfering in the case at all." Is this the attitude of your firm towards clients? ”

Fu Lichen's face did not change when he was questioned, and he replied lightly: "Since Mr. Yuan is so dissatisfied with our agency work, it seems that there is no basis for further cooperation in this case." I am about to inform our law firm finance to liquidate the contract, so that you will not delay Mr. Yuan, please ask for another master. ”

Mr. Yuan: "......"

He couldn't have imagined that Fu Lichen would really dare to pick on them as soon as he came up, and he wouldn't even give him any face, and his face turned black immediately.

His eyes turned to Yu Yingying, who was also suspicious, and asked in a deep voice: "Lawyer Yu, this is the sincerity of your law firm to compensate us?!" ”

Yu Yingying didn't expect Fu Lichen to quit at this juncture, she was a little anxious in her heart, and wanted to explain and save it, but she was nailed into the distance by Fu Lichen's seemingly understated look.

Immediately there was no sound.

She looked at Fu Lichen and then at the impatient Mr. Yuan, and finally said vaguely: "We said before that we would ask the most powerful lawyer in our firm to represent your company, and the case has been handed over to Lawyer Fu to be fully responsible." ”

The implication is that if you have any questions, don't come to me, go to Fu Lichen!

Mr. Yuan's gloomy gaze turned to Fu Lichen.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Fu Lichen had already said lightly: "After we received the case, we immediately flew here to negotiate with your company, but your company doesn't seem to have this sincerity, it must be another good choice, so naturally we can't waste the time of both parties." ”

clearly pointed out that Mr. Yuan and their negligence, Fu Lichen really didn't do it, and he wouldn't fall into the handle.

But Mr. Yuan was pointed out that he was not sincere and did not panic at all, but raised his chin fearlessly and emphasized arrogantly: "Lawyer Fu, don't forget." This case will lose in the first instance entirely because your lawyer is not responsible. Now the second instance is free to represent us, and you owe us!

What if I don't cooperate? You don't have to work for us yet! ”

The uncle's general tone of speech vividly interprets the concept of 'customer is God'.

This is also why some lawyers who have a certain foundation would rather not have a case than reduce their legal fees.

On the one hand, 'price reduction' will lower your style, but more importantly, there are many clients, after you reduce the lawyer's fee, they will think that you are cheaper, and even the least respect will not be given to you.

For this kind of person, Fu Lichen's attitude was very cold, and he pointed out very directly, "First of all, regarding the fact that you accused our lawyer that the lawyer of our firm is not responsible for making you lose the case, please come up with evidence, otherwise we can sue you for defamation; Secondly, we have signed a contract for risk agency, and both parties voluntarily bear the risk of the outcome, and the second-instance agency that Mr. Yu said will not charge additional fees and will only continue the agency contract of the first instance.

This means that we have the right to terminate the contract if the client does not cooperate. ”

The group of them came to Xishi to understand the case, and just now Mr. Yuan was sluggish, and even directly said the word 'non-cooperation', which just gave Fu Lichen the perfect excuse to terminate the contract.

Fu Lichen naturally got up and left without hesitation.

Mr. Yuan probably didn't expect that his casual words of pretending to be forced would become the perfect excuse for the other party to throw the pot, and when he saw Fu Lichen leaving without hesitation, he suddenly panicked.

If Fu Lichen is let go today, and their principal-agent contract is terminated by the way, and the fault is still on them, then he will definitely be scolded to death by the board of directors when he goes back.

Mr. Yuan put away his contemptuous attitude and shouted eagerly: "Lawyer Fu, please wait a minute, Lawyer Fu, please wait a minute!" ”

He walked in front of Fu Lichen in a few steps, no longer had the previous arrogance, licked his face and smiled: "Look at my mouth, I really can't speak!" Of course, we Xirong have the sincerity to cooperate with you, I was negligent just now, and I hope that Lawyer Fu will forgive me! ”

Fu Lichen didn't leave, but his gaze that looked at him didn't fluctuate at all, obviously he couldn't be moved by a few words.

Mr. Yuan knew that he was about to lose his tongue just now, and with the skills of these lawyers, once they walked out of this door, they really wanted to terminate the contract, and it was also their own fault.

Gritted his teeth, lowered his posture, and said to the young man on the side, "Xiao Yang, bring a glass of wine." ”

Xiao Yang hurriedly poured a glass of liquor and handed it to Mr. Yuan.

After Mr. Yuan took the result, he made a toasting gesture, "It was all my fault before, and this glass of wine is my reparation to you!" ”

After speaking, he drank all the full glasses of liquor in one gulp.

Then he looked at Fu Lichen worriedly, and he didn't know if admitting his mistake like this could make Barrister Fu angry?
