Chapter4 Life is endless, and the struggle is endless.
High heels are stretched on tiptoe, wearing a mask through the city, lonely and glamorous, just want someone to accompany you......
Tesla was driving fast on the highway, in front of the red light, I rolled down the window, the cold wind swept in, took a deep breath, today to meet the parties of the intellectual property case, deep in my heart surging with an indescribable worry, mixed with rare loneliness and exhaustion.
【Huanyu Information Technology Company】
Park the car and walk to the bottom of the Huanyu Tower.
Looking at the office building on the twentieth or thirtieth floor, the company's advertisements were playing on the big screen, Huanyu's headquarters was in the United Kingdom, and the executives of the Beijing sub-district were all drawn from the headquarters, and I heard that the internal factional struggle was also quite complicated.
"I'm Lavender, a lawyer at V.A." I CHOSE A SILVER BUSINESS OUTFIT, MY CURLY HAIR DYED LINEN WAS SHINY AND SHINY, AND I obediently scattered behind my back, stepping on jimmy choo's new gold stiletto heels, and handing my business card to the front desk.
"Hello lawyer Lavender, the deputy general manager is waiting for you on the fourteenth floor, let me take you up." The little girl at the front desk said sweetly.
I waited in front of the elevator, scrolling through Ashley's comments on my phone.
"Ding" three or four people came out of the elevator next door, the pace was eager, one of them was tall and thin in a suit and leather shoes, and the lines of the side face were deep and handsome, but unfortunately it was too late to take a look at the face of the person, and the elevator door in front of him had been opened.
The little girl at the front desk pushed open the door to the conference room and motioned to the people inside.
"Hello, Attorney Lavender. I didn't expect Ashley's right-hand man to be so young and beautiful! ”
Xiao Hongyi, deputy general manager of Huanyu, stood up from the main seat of the conference table and walked towards me and shook hands politely.
"Mr. Xiao has won the award." I smiled slightly, nodded, and walked over to the deputy seat and sat down.
"All of you here are the heads of the departments involved in the case, so if you have anything, just come to them."
The conference table is made of round mahogany, modeled after the standards of the British Parliament, adhering to the law of equality and freedom of speech for all at the table. In the center of the table is a white rose, and the pot is pure royal blue, which was sent from England by the chairman of the headquarters on New Year's Day. It was deliberately placed on the conference table, which means that it is hoped that in the midst of the verbal swords, the high-level officials can still maintain nobility and elegance.
"All of you here are the heads of the departments involved in the case, namely the marketing manager, the financial director, etc., and you can communicate at any time if you have anything, and you don't need to see each other."
Mr. Xiao did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
I opened my briefcase and pulled out a thick stack of papers.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Xiao in advance. Would you like to ask a few senior executives to recount this case to me in detail? ”
"That's right, at the beginning of last year, our technical department was mainly engaged in the technical development of a software, and this project was called 'Giti'. Both Zhao Qi and Sun Nan served as technical advisors to our department and participated in the research and development of this project. In October last year, the two of them abruptly quit their jobs and left. Later, we found out that these two people went to CJ Technical Services and took our data and customers with them. ”
"Can you show me a copy of the labor contract between Huanyu and Zhao Qi and Sun Nan? In addition, as far as I know, CJ was established five years before Cho Qi and Sun Nam left their jobs. Did you know about your competitors throughout the development of this project? ”
"No, we didn't know about the competitors until later in the product, and we didn't think about CJ at first because the company was just starting out in the industry and there was nothing to be afraid of."
"So how much damage has Huanyu suffered so far?"
"According to our investigation, we only know that they used our technical data and bidding information, and also poached four customers who were supposed to renew their contracts with us."
The bustling imperial capital still rises and sets every day, coming out of Huanyu, it is already the beginning of the lights, and the first weekend of November calmly ushered in the first light snow of the year. Where was I at this time last year, and what type of disputes were I dealing with? Neon dots flew past the roadside. is no longer a little girl who is ignorant of the world, and has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders every year.
After the client entrusts the lawyer, he hopes that the lawyer will be able to turn the tide, and from the moment he accepts the case, the lawyer begins the journey of being responsible to all parties, and the wolf smoke does not stop running. Every sentence in court determines the trajectory of the parties' lives in the future, either to lose their family and property and to languish from then on, or to reveal the truth to the world and clear their grievances.
Only by being "nerve-strong" can the parties be given the greatest legal support and spiritual comfort.
Confrontation with visible and invisible opponents, competition for case sources, fame of the law firm, background of intermediaries, ingenious social circles...... I remembered that I had just politely rejected the dinner invitation with Mr. Xiao, if it weren't for V.A, if it weren't for the strong strength that Ashley and his predecessors have proven with countless cases, I'm afraid these entertainments would be inevitable.
In the boundless inky black outside the car window, the huge gears of fate are slowly turning strangely.
