Chapter Seventy-Nine: Private Negotiations
In the café, soothing music is playing.
Xing Ke rarely wore a formal suit, wiped his hair wax, and put on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses decently, changing the appearance of the bar.
"Ms. Ling, you proposed to our client to meet in private, please indicate your intention."
Sitting opposite Xing Ke was Ling Xiao, who had been suppressed by public opinion recently, and she didn't even bring an agent, but made an appointment with the parent of the victim student alone.
"I'm talking about a private settlement, just me and her, and the lawyer doesn't need to be present." Ling Xiao pushed his sunglasses and made a gesture.
She glanced at the woman sitting next to Xing Ke, dressed up in a fancy way, thinking that she was fashionable but in fact it was just a random match to catch up with the trend, a pair of small eyes dripping and turning, and at first glance it was a greedy face.
"You are Xiaomei's mother, right, I'm sorry for Xiaomei's matter, but I also mentioned that you could lose money at the beginning, but you didn't accept it, of course, you can still solve it with money now, and the amount will only be much more than back then."
As soon as she heard the money, the woman's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "How much can you lose?" ”
After finishing speaking, he straightened up again, "My lawyer must be present, tell me your price." ”
Separated from the position of the three of them at some distance, Li Mi looked at the appearance of the student's parents and frowned slightly, "Didn't it mean that the parents of the victim insisted on fighting a lawsuit and did not accept compensation, and in the end they were emptied of people and money by Ling Xiao's connections, why is this the case now?" ”
"That's not the student's biological mother, it's the stepmother." Sui Yan sat opposite Li Mi and took a sip of coffee, "When the victim's mother insisted that Ling Xiao publicly apologize and never engage in the music training industry, Ling Xiao's family not only smoothed the lawsuit, but also made the student's father lose his job. Her biological mother eventually died. ”
Although the stepmother is not as sinister as in fairy tales, the one in front of her obviously values reparations.
Seeing Li Mi's worries, Sui Yan added: "Don't worry, Xing Ke graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, and the judicial industry that his family has been engaged in will not let that stepmother do bad things." ”
Hearing this, Li Mi glanced at Xing Ke, who exuded an ascetic temperament, and thought that he could not be a person, and thought that he had to be a graduate of an individual school.
Because of the location, Xing Ke could see the seats of Li Mi and Sui Yan, he saw Li Mi's gaze, and blinked at Li Mi by pushing his glasses, and his original form was revealed in an instant.
“...... Professionalism and character are obviously not directly related. Sui Yan, who was forced to see this greasy scene, complained expressionlessly.
The price of Ling Xiaokai is indeed very high, and the requirements are very simple, privately let the parents of the students withdraw the lawsuit, and promise never to pursue this matter.
Xing Ke grabbed his stepmother's mouth and spoke, "What our party wants, in addition to normal compensation, there is also a public apology, which cannot be changed." ”
The accent on the word "unchangeable" made the heart-pounded stepmother barely pull back a little sane, and reluctantly agreed, "Yes, I must apologize to my daughter." Money can't be less, not a single child! ”
If he was usually so aggressive, Ling Xiao would have turned his face long ago.
But now that her career has been hit hard, not settling this matter is tantamount to ruining her career, and even being scolded by the public, she can only swallow her anger anyway.
"Money can be talked about again, apologize...... I can apologize to her in person. ”
Xing Ke smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, the apology must be made public." If you just bring these up, I guess that can end our conversation here. ”
After saying that, Xing Ke stood up, let his stepmother go first, and then left the café after him.
Ling Xiao didn't suppress his anger, he pushed the table hard, and the coffee was spilled on the ground, "That woman is obviously greedy for money, why should she insist on apologizing publicly!" ”
The waiter was attracted by her movements, and took a towel to help wipe the coffee stains off Ling Xiao's body, but Ling Xiao pushed him away.
"Get out, don't touch me!"
The familiar voice made the waiter not have time to get angry, raised his head in surprise, and before he could see clearly, Ling Xiao had already pulled on his mask and rushed out of the door.
"After watching the show, I'll send you to the program team." Sui Yan opened his mouth to recall Li Mi's gaze.
Today is the recording of the fifth episode of "Shining Girl", and the content of the fifth episode is to let the contestants participate in the singing and MV recording of public welfare theme songs.
Li Mi glanced at Sui Yan, "Secretary Sui is such a busy man, sacrificing time to send me, this drunkard doesn't mean to drink." ”
Joke aside, the two still rushed to the program group quickly, the contestants have already practiced the songs, the recording in the studio has ended, and they are preparing to shoot the MV scene.
"The child actors are in place...... How long will the traffic jam last? Okay, let's rest first, everyone hurry up and eat lunch, and we'll start shooting outside the studio in a while. ”
Li Mai had already seen Li Mi and Sui Yan who were eye-catching among the staff, pulled Tan Xiaoya, and ran to the two happily.
"You've been busy lately, so you thought you wouldn't be visiting class."
"No matter how busy you are, you can't forget your dear sister." Li Mi smiled and raised the thermos bucket in his hand, "Mother Uncle cooks it from her own cooking, remember that you don't eat spicy, it's all light." ”
The latter sentence is said to Tan Xiaoya, Li Mai is a spicy and unhappy person, but he can only be forced to ban spicy during the competition.
"Then I've got it to take it orally." Tan Xiaoya's relationship with the two sisters Li Mi Li Mai is getting better and better, and she is no longer as rusty as she was at the beginning, and she is very happy to rub this love lunch.
"Good work." Sui Yan handed Li Mai a thermos cup in a timely manner, which was a medicine for nourishing his throat, and he had never stopped seeing Chinese medicine.
Someone was there, Li Mai didn't cry, wrinkled his nose and drank the medicine, stuck out his tongue bitterly, and the next second Sui Yan took out a peeled fruit candy.
The sweet gesture of the two of you going back and forth made Li Mi and Tan Xiaoya look at it at all, and each hugged the thermos bucket and went to occupy a table cloth dish first.
In the workplace, even if they miss it, Li Mai and Sui Yan just stroll and chat about it, and they don't have too intimate actions.
That's just it, Tan Xiaoya also sighed enviously, "I've been on the show for so long, not to mention the things my boyfriend gave me, I haven't even met others." ”
Li Mi kept swinging his chopsticks, and said as if unintentionally: "I remember you told me that your boyfriend just signed a contract with the company, so he should be very busy." ”
"Yes, he told me that their company was going to push the single he wrote recently, and he would come back to visit the class after a while, but this is only the last few issues, I don't know if I can catch up."
Tan Xiaoya looked at the dishes in the open thermos bucket, there were a few dishes that she liked to eat, and she had mentioned it by chatting with Li Mi in the bar before, but she didn't expect her to remember, and her heart couldn't help but warm.
"By the way, Xiaomi, there's something I haven't told you all along...... My boyfriend signed with Qitian Entertainment, and I heard that your company had a conflict with theirs, so I didn't dare to tell you, I didn't mean to hide it from you. ”
Li Mi, who knew about this for a long time, smiled and waved his hand, "Competing companies, it's normal to have conflicts with each other, it's nothing." So, do you want to sign Qitian in the future? ”
Originally, Tan Xiaoya was very sure about this issue, but after getting to know Li Mi and Li Mai, and indirectly understanding the strength of Damai Entertainment and the importance attached to artists, the balance in her heart began to waver.
Seeing that Tan Xiaoya didn't answer for a while, Li Mi patted her forehead lightly, "Look at me, I said that I respected your choice, and I won't mention this matter now." Let's eat. ”
