In the morning, I drank the medicinal soup made by Zhen, and my mouth was still bitter. After going downstairs, I went to the laundry. I was not polite and went directly to the refrigerator in the back room to get a bottle of "Dele" brand aluminum can soda. , orange flavor, sweet and sour, tastes pretty good.
Although Pan Mila was in dire straits and was even heavily in debt, she still maintained a middle-class life on the surface and had a refrigerator at home.
But at a young age, Bisi knew that her family was going bankrupt and that she would have to work as a child laborer. It was quite painful to think about it.
The soda, milk, etc. in the refrigerator were all prepared by Pamela for Bisi.
"Uncle, do you also like to drink soda?" Seeing Lu Ming drinking her own stuff, Bisi was extremely happy. She leaned over and smiled like a flower, revealing her small gap teeth that were changing, which was so cute.
"Mom also said that if you drink too much soda, you will become fat!"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Well, your mother is wrong. Children should eat and drink what they should eat. Eat whatever is delicious. If you manage your diet at a young age, will you still have a happy childhood?"
Pan Mila, who was walking out, saw this scene, frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Lu, please don't teach your children indiscriminately."
I guess I was angry when I saw this guy talking nonsense and teaching his daughter bad things, but it was hard to get angry.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Let's go!"
Pan Mila has obviously been dressed up carefully. She must have just had a facial mask on her face, which is as tender as water. The long brown eyelashes on her deep blue eyes are highlighted one by one. They are extremely shiny, slightly upturned, and extremely attractive. Her red lips Bright and bright, making people want to suck hard just looking at her. Her golden wavy hairstyle is very similar to Monroe's. She is sexy and delicate. Paired with a ruby red tutu skirt, this Western beauty is also a top-notch beauty, but she is not as Oriental as Zhen's. Charming and very different in style.
When they came out of the laundry, Lu Ming threw the car keys to her and said, "You drive."
The Snow Dragon Phantom was parked in the alley next to the laundry. Pamela hesitated for a moment, then took the key and went to pick up the car.
Lu Ming wasn't trying to show off, driving was actually very tiring. With his body like this, he would try his best not to work if he could manage it.
…
The supercar with smooth curves was moving at lightning speed and soon stopped at the downstairs of Jindiao Building.
Lu Ming shook his head, it was the Ji Niao Building again.
The two largest law firms in Beiguan are both located in Jindiao Building.
Liu Hanhuan's office is on the fourth floor, and the Tang-Li Law Firm we are facing this time is on the eighth floor.
In a short period of time, he had to compete with the two largest law firms in Beiguan.
In the future, when someone writes a memoir for themselves, the beginning will seem very unusual.
Tang-Li Law Firm is the attorney firm of Fengshun Trading Company, which acts as a middleman to sell washing machines to Pan Mila.
We made an appointment yesterday to meet with the representatives of Fengshun Trading Company here today.
The reception room of Tang Li Law Firm is the same as that of Liu Hanxuan Law Firm, which is spacious and luxurious.
Similarly, Lu Ming and Pan Mila sat for more than ten minutes before footsteps were heard outside. The glass door opened and four or five people walked in. The men were in suits and leather shoes, and the women were in professional skirts. They sat at the long oval table one by one. Sitting across from him felt very oppressive.
"Lawyer Lu Qianxing, I'm Charlie Tang!" The calm middle-aged man sitting opposite, first from the left, stood up and shook hands with Lu Ming.
Lu Ming frowned slightly when he heard the name, but thinking about it, a colony that had been ruled for thousands of years really couldn't be too harsh on the people here.
Pan Mila bit her red lips and stared at the woman opposite. She turned sideways and whispered to Lu Ming: "That lady with freckles on her face is the person who lied to me. She is the sales manager of SF Express, whose surname is Wang."
Lu Ming nodded. Pan Mila had been taught since she was young that she could be called hypocritical, but she was indeed very qualified and would not say bad things easily.
After smiling and shaking hands with each other, Lu Ming sat down with an upright posture, his face immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Lawyer Tang, first of all, on behalf of my client, I reject your law firm's irresponsible behavior of sending a lawyer's letter. In addition, I reserve the right to report your behavior to the Donghai Bar Association."
The scene suddenly changed, and the other party was stunned. No one could have imagined that this young lawyer who looked delicate and amiable would suddenly become extremely cold-blooded, and he was struck with a hammer at the beginning.
Pan Mila was also dumbfounded, thinking it was you, you are just a person with a thousand faces, you are too scary, right?
"Lawyer Lu, it can be said that my client is quite sincere when he agrees to meet with you this time. Please don't make alarmist remarks and ruin the atmosphere of our meeting." Charlie Tang frowned.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "Lawyer Tang, I am not an alarmist. My client has never publicized the details of the dispute with SF Trading Company to anyone other than her consulting lawyer. You sent a lawyer's letter for no reason, which is a disservice to my client. Intimidation has affected my client’s life and is an abuse of the right to a lawyer’s letter.”
"Lawyer Lu, I know that you just took advantage of it by playing against Liu Hanxuan's firm, but this is not Liu Hanxuan's firm, and I am not Cheng Ye!" Charlie Tang frowned even more tightly, with dissatisfaction on his face. "I reluctantly convinced my client to take the time to meet with you, not to listen to your nonsense."
Lu Ming nodded inwardly. No wonder, after a phone call, the other party agreed to meet. It turned out that it was somewhat due to him.
It’s no wonder that the circle of the legal industry is very small. A few days ago, I faced off against Liu Hanxuan’s firm, which directly caused the case to be dismissed. This should have made practitioners in this industry aware of me. After all, there are only a few law firms in Beiguan?
Moreover, Li Guan invited him to drink directly, which probably spread throughout these law firms. That weird little old lady is probably a headache for many lawyers, and few people can get such favor from her.
But no matter what, let’s just say that Charlie Tang in front of him, although he agreed to meet and reconcile between the two parties, he didn’t necessarily think highly of himself as a rookie lawyer from the bottom of his heart. Probably, he wanted to give himself some color, and at the same time, he also wanted to give them the greatest Opponent Liu Hanhuan's office applied eye drops.
Looking at Charlie Tang, Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Okay, nonsense, right?" Then he took out a piece of paper and pushed it from the table, "This is the compensation figure requested by my client."
Charlie Tang sneered, picked up the piece of paper, and suddenly frowned, "Lawyer Lu, I think you are crazy!"
Next to him, Ms. Wang from SF Express came over to take a look and exclaimed, "2,500 yuan?"
Charlie Tang had already stood up and said to Ms. Wang: "Manager Wang, I think there is no need for us to continue talking. The other party not only refuses to admit his mistake, but instead seeks compensation from you. Let's meet in court!"
"If you go to court, you will lose more, and we will get more figures. Moreover, SF Trading and your Tang-Li Law Firm will also have to bear the loss of reputation. An old trading house sells fake and inferior products. The old law firm is working for the tiger and oppressing the good." Lu Ming took a slow sip of coffee.
"Why are we selling fake and inferior products? Mrs. Pan Mila knew those were second-hand goods!" Ms. Wang stared at Lu Ming with fierce triangular eyes.
Tang Charlie advised him in a low voice, not to talk to the other party, we can just go to court, but Ms. Wang ignored him.
"Don't listen to this foreign woman's lies. I never promised how long that washing machine would last!"
Ms. Wang's words became increasingly ugly, and she sneered: "You have a pretty face, can you talk nonsense?"
Lu Ming was suddenly surprised to find that Pan Mila did not dare to look at Ms. Wang and was stunned. It turned out that maybe this Ms. Wang had never made a verbal commitment to her.
After being deceived, just to save face, she said she had been promised how long it would last, right?
But facing the other party directly at this moment, Pan Mila may suddenly realize that it is difficult to lie to the person involved. It requires a lot of courage and even more shamelessness, so she seems a little ashamed.
Lu Ming looked at her and suddenly felt funny, you little foreign pony. I thought that although you had a bad temper and were a bit racist, at least you were very honest and in line with the moral standards of Western aristocrats. Why? Lie too?
"Lawyer Lu, I'm sorry, let's go..." Pan Mila turned her head and said in a low voice. For the first time, she seemed very timid. As she said that, she wanted to get up.
"Don't worry!..." Lu Ming patted her arm and motioned for her to sit down.
In fact, whether there is a verbal commitment or not, based on one's own understanding of the case, is not important.
It's just that both Pan Mila and Ms. Wang have gone astray, thinking that verbal commitment is the key point.
Lu Ming looked at Ms. Wang, "Have you made a verbal promise? But the behavior of selling fake and inferior products does exist. In the sale of goods, there is a principle called the implied warranty of merchantability. That is to say, the quality of the goods sold must have Common sense, although this large washing machine is second-hand, in the contract you signed, my client made it clear that this washing machine is used to open a laundry. In this case, the principle of implied warranty of merchantability applies, and it is impossible for my client , I bought this washing machine just to open a laundry for a month, right?"
Ms. Wang was confused after hearing this and looked at Charlie Tang.
Tang Charlie also frowned, "What principle?"
Lu Ming smiled, "Implied warranty of merchantability, Lawyer Tang, I'll give you time to check it out now. In April this year, in a case in New Hampshire, Justice Smith of the Third Circuit Court of the state proposed The principle of implied warranty of merchantability is established to solve sales behaviors where the terms in the sales contract are not clear and to protect the interests of consumer users."
"This principle means that the quality of the goods sold must meet consumers' expectations for its use. For example, if I buy a new pair of pants for wearing, but they break after one day, then as long as the merchant's sales contract does not mention this The quality guarantee of the pants is only for one day, so the responsibility lies with the merchant and a refund must be made.”
"Similarly, the contract states that my client bought this large washing machine to open a shop, not as scrap. If it breaks down in less than a month, the responsibility is yours as the seller. After all, my client paid a Is the annual rent, plus hiring workers, renovations, etc., just to open a laundry for a month? This just doesn’t follow common sense.”
"According to the maintenance records, a key component of this washing machine has long aged. Therefore, it was not caused by improper use by my client. According to the principle of implied warranty of merchantability, the responsibility lies entirely with your business."
"This principle was originally reflected in some case trials. However, Judge Smith clarified this principle. I think it will soon become a guiding case for all similar cases. I believe that the justices in Beiguan will not This case will be ignored.”
Charlie Tang had a sullen face, and Ms. Wang next to him asked anxiously, "Is it true? Really?" She couldn't understand what Lu Ming was saying, but she understood that it meant something very detrimental to her.
"Wait a moment..." Charlie Tang reluctantly comforted Ms. Wang, turned around and hurried out.
