Ten minutes later, someone asked Ms. Wang to go out again, probably to communicate with Charlie Tang.
After another ten minutes, Charlie Tang, Ms. Wang and others returned to the conference room.
Neither of them looked very good-looking.
Lu Ming drank coffee slowly. Not to mention, he was often served coffee on different occasions in Beiguan recently, but the coffee served to the guests by this lawyer was of the best quality, fragrant and delicious, not bad, and wealthy. Use high-quality coffee beans to entertain guests.
As for this case, we can’t blame this firm for being ignorant.
Nowadays is similar to the period when modern laws were established in my previous life. The rapid advancement of science and technology has also led to the revision of many old laws. At the same time, the progress of humanities has further promoted many principles of modern law.
I read through the cases of this era and compared them with previous lives. The experience is very obvious. This also makes me pay close attention to various new cases and be sensitive to those new cases that represent legal progress.
As for a small local lawyer of Charlie Tang's level, naturally he wouldn't pay that much attention.
With a livid face, Charlie Tang wrote a number on a piece of white paper and pushed it over.
Lu Ming opened it and looked at it. It was "500" and smiled, "Lawyer Tang, if you don't want to waste time, I hope your client can show sincerity."
"You should show your client this number to see if she is satisfied or not. Please abide by the lawyer's rules!" Charlie Tang said with a stern face.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "My client has given me instructions. If the price is less than 2,500 yuan, there is no need to discuss anything."
Charlie Tang was furious, "Your client only spent 700 yuan to purchase this machine. Even if the maintenance fee is included, it only cost 1,100 yuan!"
Talking to Ms. Wang sideways, Ms. Wang nodded, and he rewrote a number and handed it over.
This time the number above is "1000".
Tang Charlie said with a sullen face: "This is our last offer, otherwise, we will see you in court!"
Lu Ming spread his hands, "So, what about the rent during the shutdown period, and the wages of the workers? Also, what about the income my client should have during this period?" After a pause, "As for the compensation my client received for this matter? Mental injury, this aspect of compensation, my client is willing to give up."
Tang Charlie sneered: "Your client's laundry, even when it is open, does not have many customers. Is it possible to open a laundry in that location?"
Lu Ming took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "That's also because the laundry is open today and broken tomorrow, which makes the customers lose confidence. I will prove this to the judge and jury." Looking at Ms. Wang , "Wang Jingji, if you go to court, I will probably thoroughly investigate all your previous transaction records. You should have sold a lot of second-hand electrical appliances. I believe it is not just my client who has suffered this kind of loss. I will try my best to Find more victims, and when the time comes, I hope you, Ms. Wang, will be prepared to handle the class action lawsuit."
Ms. Wang’s expression immediately changed, and Charlie Tang stood up suddenly, “Lawyer Lu, you are threatening my client!”
Lu Ming leaned back in his chair and spread his hands indifferently.
It’s funny in my heart. I look like I deserve to be beaten, but that’s what lawyers are like. Intimidation and inducement are empty words, and it’s the last word to win the maximum benefit for the client.
Ms. Wang’s face turned green and white. She leaned over and said a few words in Tang Charlie’s ear.
Tang Charlie frowned and wanted to persuade, but she waved her hand with a firm attitude.
Ever since she discovered that her lawyer had no idea what the other party's lawyer said, so she had to check the information, she lost confidence in Charlie Tang.
Tang Charlie was helpless and ordered the affairs officer next to him, "Go and prepare a settlement agreement." Then he said to Lu Ming: "2,500 yuan, but you have to sign a confidentiality agreement!"
Lu Ming looked at Pan Mila, "Mrs. Pan Mila, if I pay 2,500 yuan in compensation, do you agree to sign a confidentiality agreement?"
Pan Mila was stunned, Lu Ming leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Don't act too happy, calm down, calm down..."
"Ah..." Pan Mila came back to her senses, her long and beautiful gem manicure almost cut into her thighs, she nodded lightly: "I agree..."
Tang Charlie looked at Lu Ming and said, "Lawyer Lu, I hope I have the opportunity to learn from you in court in the future." In his heart, he was probably depressed to death, and he was even more unconvinced, but he could use the word "learn" to a rookie lawyer. Ci, obviously, the subconscious already feels that he is at a disadvantage.
Lu Ming smiled and did not argue with him.
……
In front of the clock tower building of the Imperial Bank Beiguan Branch, Lu Ming sat in the passenger seat of the Snow Dragon Phantom, looking through the fashion magazines in his hands in boredom.
With the sound of footsteps, Pan Mila walked back and sat in the driver's seat. She must have transferred Ms. Wang's check to her account.
2,500 yuan, probably Pan Mila didn’t even have that much savings when she first moved to Beiguan.
After a few months of wandering around, I actually made money.
Pan Mila opened the beautiful rose-colored handbag, took out the checkbook from it, wrote a number, tore it off and handed it to Lu Ming, "This is yours."
Lu Ming was startled when he took it and saw the number "1,000 yuan" on it.
"Too many!" Lu Ming smiled.
"I'm worried that you think it's too little! This time, there's Bisi's scene as well." Pan Mila's deep blue eyes were filled with gratitude, "I know the rules, the money is not much."
The two parties in this lawsuit did not formally sign an agency agreement, but generally speaking, since there is no formal agreement on the amount of compensation in this kind of lawsuit, the default fee is based on the proportion of the target amount, and the lawyer’s commission is 10% to 30%, and Labor costs, material costs, time-consuming consultation fees, etc. are calculated separately.
Pan Mila was obviously paid according to the maximum commission, and Bisi's lawsuit was so beautifully fought that the 100 yuan lawyer's agency fee was well worth it.
Then, I made up an integer.
Lu Ming looked at the check and nodded. This woman is not stingy.
"Now that you have money, do you still want to open the laundry? I can make the rent cheaper for you." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Pan Mila looked at him with blue eyes, "A few days ago, you told me that you were going to provide me with the job opportunity, have you withdrawn it?"
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Of course I didn't take it back, but I didn't expect..." Aren't you worried that he had ulterior motives?
Pan Mila stared at him: "I found that if I work for you, maybe my good luck will come."
If there is some feeling in Bisi’s case that the judge sympathized with her daughter’s young age and dismissed the case, then in the case just now, it is obvious that this young lawyer, neighbor and landlord is really He is an extraordinary person.
It's not that he just won the case, but that his performance from beginning to end was not on the same level as the other party's lawyer.
Although I was very ignorant when I was young, I often think back to my parents’ teachings now.
When I was a child, I saw many outstanding people and big shots coming in and out of my home. Those top big shots seemed to be born with certain qualities.
And this young man should undoubtedly be one of them.
It may be difficult for ordinary people to meet such an outstanding person in their lifetime.
In fact, it is very lucky to be able to meet such a person.
Such characters usually don't do anything special for the sake of beauty. Their thinking is not on the same level as ordinary people.
Of course, he did it for no reason but to help himself, but no matter what, if this opportunity slipped away from his hands, he might regret it in the future.
Moreover, if such a person is confused by his appearance, it is actually something to be proud of, right?
What am I thinking about?
Pan Mila was startled suddenly and sighed softly in her heart. Sometimes, she admired the loyalty concept of the people of Central China. Being proud of being able to charm men was the way of thinking in her previous world. Aristocratic women, such as her mother, were This was the case, but I didn't expect that it was the same for myself and subconsciously. The blood of the ethnic group was really not that easy to change.
However, what should I do if he is really obsessed with me?
Pan Mila was a little confused for a moment. From an emotional and intellectual point of view, it would be very embarrassing to be entangled in the relationship between a man and a woman by a Central-Continent man.
Of course Lu Ming didn't know what Pan Mila was thinking. When he saw her suddenly in a daze, her green eyes were confused for a while, and she seemed a little ashamed for a while, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and said in a rough voice: "Hey, hey! Thunder is over. Clothes! ”
Pan Mila came back to her senses and couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that she was thinking too much. He, he was really different.
Getting along with him makes people feel very comfortable.
Pan Mila sighed softly, "You think I'm stupid, don't you? I've thought about it. This money has paid the wages of the workers, and there is nothing left. If I want to pay for Bisi's schooling, I still have to pay for it. I have money to rent a house, and I have to provide Bisi with a good life, so that she won’t have to worry about me at a young age. If I don’t agree to the opportunity you give me now, I will definitely regret it in the future!”
Lu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand, "Okay, then I officially welcome you to join my team!"
Pan Mila was stunned, hesitated, and stretched out her fair hands with light green nail polish to shake hands with Lu Ming, "Okay, old...boss..."
The pronunciation of Boss in Western is similar to BOSS. She used the pronunciation of Boss in Western to ease the embarrassment when calling someone else boss for the first time. This has nothing to do with whether Lu Ming is from Central China or not. Even if she is in decline , I also have my own pride and have never worked for others.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "My team finally has two people now!"
Pan Mila was stunned and suddenly laughed, "You, you are the polished commander!"
Her smile is very similar to Bisi's, both very sweet. In fact, she is only a twenty-three-year-old girl.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "What? I regret it. Let me tell you, verbal promises are just as valid. If you regret it now, the check you just deposited is not enough to compensate you."
Pan Mila shook her head gently: "I never regret anything I do."
Lu Ming was startled, but he didn't expect that she would suddenly become serious.
Pan Mila then smiled and looked at Lu Ming with her blue eyes: "Boss, I don't know why, but I started to like you!" She chuckled again: "Don't get me wrong! I'm not the one who likes you. You Central-Continent people always like you. It will misunderstand what we say."
Lu Ming snorted, "Do you think I'm someone you can love if you want to?" He rolled his eyes, opened the door and got out of the car, and said, "Let's go, see Bisi, and then go upstairs to meet Han." Where’s Zhu Wan?”
Looking at Lu Ming's back, it took Pan Mila a long time to figure out what "I'm not someone you can love if you want" meant, and she smiled again, feeling inexplicably in a good mood.
Get out of the car and chase after him, following Lu Ming.
She is very tall, not much shorter than Lu Ming. She is a beautiful young Western woman in a red tutu skirt that reveals her smooth shoulders and creamy back. She has blond hair and blue eyes, is tall and sexy, and has alluring snow-white feet wearing red high heels. , with a clicking sound, he walked beside Lu Ming confidently and gracefully, making Lu Ming feel like he had returned to his previous life.
