Zhou Hanzhi immediately put his coat on Lin Xixi, and when his eyes passed over Tangtang and me, it was as if he had been tempered with a layer of poison.
Apparently he was angry.
"Mr. Zhou, I have a change of clothes in my office, how about..."
"No need," Zhou Hanzhi refused directly and told Zeng Zhidao, "call the police immediately."
When I heard the word "call the police," I was in disbelief. I immediately stopped and said, "Mr. Zhou, there is a misunderstanding. I can explain it to you and Manager Lin."
Lin Xixi burst into tears when she heard this, and choked up: "Hanzhi, it's okay with me. It's because I can't speak that I annoyed my colleagues."
It's okay that she didn't say this. After this explanation, Zhou Hanzhi turned dark and said: "It's okay, I'm here."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zeng Zhi again.
Zeng Zhi gave me a troubled look and took out his phone hesitantly.
"Mr. Zhou," I was a little anxious for a moment. After all, Tangtang is not that big. At such a good age, it is always dishonorable to get involved in the situation. "Please, I..."
"If you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished," Zhou Hanzhi showed a selfless look, "See you at the police station."
After he finished speaking, he escorted Lin Xixi to the lounge.
No mercy at all.
Half an hour later, a group of us were taken to the police station.
The person in charge of the Rongyu Legal Department also came over in a hurry.
After finishing the transcript, the police officer kindly reminded: "The other party's lawyer stated that the coffee temperature was too high and did not rule out the possibility of intentionally harming others."
My eyebrows twitched and I asked, "Does the other party still want to pursue criminal prosecution?"
The police officer gave me a meaningful expression, glanced at Tangtang again, and said, "Since we are colleagues, I suggest we reconcile privately and be more sincere."
The meaning is very clear. Zhou Hanzhi now wants to hold Tangtang accountable. With Rongyu's financial and material resources, it is completely easy to find faults.
Tangtang probably didn't expect that her impulse would cause such a situation, and she was completely confused at this moment.
I explained to her: "It is wrong to attack others at any time, Tangtang, you did something wrong this time."
"But Sister Nanxu, Lin Xixi shouldn't say that the character models I drew are garbage," Tangtang's eyes were red, "You know, the works are my treasures, she can't slander them like this!"
I'm a little surprised, Lin Xixi, you said such a thing?
"Don't worry, I'll go negotiate with Mr. Zhou and Manager Lin."
Although Tangtang was wrong, it wouldn't hurt to let her know the severity of it, but her crime does not warrant criminal responsibility.
Once linked to such a crime, a young man's future is ruined.
When I licked my face and went to look for Zhou Han, he and Lin Xixi had already left the police station.
The lawyer told me that the little girl was a little frightened and was still a little emotional. Zhou Hanzhi was worried and sent her home.
But Zhou Hanzhi had confessed before leaving that there was no need to talk about this matter.
I thought about it and finally called Lin Xixi.
"Manager Lin, Tangtang has realized her mistake. She will apologize to you in person tomorrow morning. Can you persuade Mr. Zhou that we can reconcile privately?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone. For a while, I heard Lin Xixi ask: "Sister Nan Xu, if you were the one who had coffee thrown at me today, would you forgive me so generously?"
I suddenly choked and said guiltily: "I'm sorry."
"Sister Nan Xu, you are not wrong, why do you need to apologize to me," Lin Xixi said with a hint of displeasure in her tone, "After all, you and Mr. Wu do not regard me as one of your own."
I'm not surprised that Lin Xixi would have this idea. After all, she was stuffed into our project by Rongyu to gild.
Seeing that I remained silent, Lin Xixi spoke again: "Sister Nanxu, you don't have to persuade me. Also, the decision to sue was Hanzhi's. I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."
After she finished speaking, she cut off the thread without giving me a chance to persuade me.
Wu Ling's previous remarks suddenly popped into my mind, and a feeling of uneasiness swept through my heart.
I think that since taking the initiative and explaining cannot make sense, we can only find a lawyer first in case of emergency.
Wu Ling and I also knew two lawyers in charge of civil cases, but when the other party heard that the prosecutor was Rongyu Legal Department, he turned around and left.
Wu Ling was so angry that he stamped his feet: "Look at how cowardly everyone is."
I understand, after all, no one wants to shoot themselves in the foot.
Yan Dong heard the news from somewhere and came to our studio with a lawyer in charge of criminal cases.
Wu Ling and I were very grateful, and heard the lawyer's advice: "Everything depends on evidence. Although there is surveillance inside the cafe, it is too far away to capture the whole story. I think we can find out more about it from the staff on the day." What happened.”
Wu Ling and I now have some clues.
Before sunset, Yan Dong and I asked Lin Xixi out with the employee's recording.
When the little girl saw me and Yan Dong, a flash of astonishment flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Sister Nan Xu, do you have anything to do with me?"
I exchanged a look with Yan Dong, handed the recording to Lin Xixi, and said, "Manager Lin, here is a recording of a cafe employee. You can listen to it first."
Lin Xixi's face turned pale after hearing the sound, and asked: "Wha... what recording?"
I said patiently: "An employee said that you had a dispute before Tangtang threw your coffee."
"Is...is it?" Lin Xixi curled her fingers and spoke a little awkwardly, "Sister Nan Xu, actually after you called me last night, I thought about it carefully. In fact, the matter is far from what the lawyer said. That’s so serious, don’t you think?”
Yan Dong exchanged a look with me and asked, "What does Miss Lin mean?"
Lin Xixi glanced at me and said, "Hanzhi, I will persuade him not to prosecute."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I heard Lin Xixi ask: "What about this recording..."
Of course Lin Xixi didn't know that in fact, what was recorded in this recorder was just some insignificant conversations between us and the cafe clerk.
The clerk doesn't want to cause trouble.
But she herself has shown her flaws.
So it was not difficult for Yan Dong and I to deduce that the words Lin Xixi deliberately provoked Tangtang really happened.
"Ms. Lin," Yan Dong took a sip of coffee and said, "We will naturally destroy the recordings. I will trouble you if you sue."
Lin Xixi glanced at me timidly and said awkwardly: "I...I know."
She was already weak, so looking at her like this, she really looked a bit wronged.
But fortunately, the result is not bad.
"Hanzhi, why are you here?"
A question fell on my ears. Yan Dong and I followed Lin Xixi's eyes and saw Zhou Hanzhi standing a few steps away.
The man frowned and walked over solemnly.
He glanced at me silently, then looked at Yan Dong, and sneered coldly: "Why, knowing that I can't make sense here, you called in helpers to embarrass her?"
