Shao Zhengrong spoke, and Zha Liguo felt relieved. Since Director Shao wouldn't let him intervene, he didn't have to be caught in the middle and terminated the contract according to Jiang Yao's request.
The cafe downstairs of the newspaper office.
Liang Yuze had been waiting there for a long time, "Sister-in-law, how about Lawyer Xu? Has Zha Liguo agreed to terminate the contract?"
"Not yet, you and Lawyer Xu talk first, and I'll buy coffee for you." Jiang Yao greeted Liang Yuze, pulled out the chair for Lawyer Xu, and then turned and walked to the cashier.
After Lawyer Xu sat down, he briefly explained the situation to Liang Yuze and expressed his position very confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Liang, Zha Liguo's opinion is not important, as long as the judge agrees."
Lawyer Xu dares to say such things because of his many years of experience in the Hong Kong legal field. He is sure to win a financial dispute case that is a hundred times more complicated than this, let alone such a small case. If he picks any loopholes in the terms of the contract, the contract can be overturned.
He just asked Zha Liguo to think about it for an hour, just to find a way for the other party to get off, so as not to make the two sides ugly.
Hearing what Lawyer Xu said, Liang Yuze knew what was going on, and suddenly became calm and relaxed. It seemed that the Liang family had already acquired the copyright of "Gong's Scheming" this time.
Jiang Yao came back with two cups of coffee. After sitting down, she handed a cup of coffee to Lawyer Xu. Since she knew Lawyer Xu's true background, she was not worried about the termination of the contract. She took a sip of coffee and said with a relaxed face:
"Xu Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you today. Do you have time in the evening? I'll treat you to a meal."
Lawyer Xu was flattered and put down the coffee in his hand: "Ms. Jiang, it's just a small effort. Don't be polite to me. But it's really a coincidence. I have an appointment with a client tonight. Let's get together when we have time."
"Okay, let's make an appointment next time." Jiang Yao had no choice but to invite Xu Lu another day.
Liang Yuze heard that the two of them had started to have a dinner date, and couldn't help but joke on the side: "Hey, you two have gone too far. This date has not yet been resolved, and you have a dinner date to celebrate."
Jiang Yao raised her red lips and said, "There is no suspense if Lawyer Xu takes action."
Liang Yuze crossed his arms and looked like he was waiting for good news: "That's okay, I'll wait for the signing with peace of mind."
Jiang Yao gave him an OK gesture. After the contract was terminated, she would sign a contract with Liang and sell the copyright.
A few people talked about the termination of the contract for a while. Jiang Yao suddenly looked at Lawyer Xu curiously: "Xu Lu, can you ask a question?"
Lawyer Xu had a gentle expression on his face: "Of course, what does Miss Jiang want to know?"
Jiang Yao could feel that Chen Yanbei trusted Lawyer Xu, and Xu Lu's attitude towards Chen Yanbei was not as hierarchical as that between a client and a lawyer. The two of them got along like friends who had known each other for a long time and had a tacit understanding. She just wants to know:
"Xu Lu, how did you and Chen Yanbei meet? You are several years older than him. He is cold-tempered and you are quite quiet. How did you get to chat together?"
This question brought Lawyer Xu’s mind back to ten years ago. He and Chen Yanbei met in the UK. At that time, he had just graduated from law school and was not afraid of tigers. In order to accumulate more experience in cases, he went to help people with free legal aid.
Unexpectedly, one of the clients had a dispute with the local evil forces, and because he won the case for the client, he offended that force and was shot and wounded in retaliation on the street.
No one around him dared to help him, so he had to take the initiative to ask a passing Chinese for help. Unexpectedly, that person happened to be Chen Yanbei.
Chen Yanbei not only sent him to the hospital for treatment, but also paid his medical bills. Xu Lu was a poor lawyer at the beginning and had nothing to offer. It happened that a friend of Chen Yanbei was involved in a transnational financial dispute, so Xu Lu offered to help defend the case and won the case.
After going back and forth, Xu Lu and Chen Yanbei developed some friendship.
Later, Chen Yanbei introduced him to several major clients, which gradually made him famous in the legal community.
If a lawyer wants to make money, he relies on his clients. The bigger the case he takes, the more he earns. Lawyer Xu has grown into the number one lawyer in Hong Kong since he entered the industry. First, he relies on his excellent legal expertise; In the beginning, Chen Yanbei gave me the connections.
All in all, the relationship between the two is good.
Jiang Yao and Xu Lu finished their gossip and had almost finished their coffee.
Lawyer Xu looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that an hour had passed. He said, "Miss Jiang, shall we go up?"
"Okay." Jiang Yao put down the coffee cup and stood up.
The two of them walked out of the cafe and took the elevator upstairs, while Liang Yu stayed downstairs to wait for the two of them.
Ming Pao Office.
Sure enough, Lawyer Xu's prediction was correct. Zha Liguo finally agreed to terminate the contract, and even the official seal was ready.
After the two parties met, they quickly signed the termination agreement.
Zha Liguo put away the contract and looked at Jiang Yao with regret: "Miss Jiang, I hope we have a chance to cooperate next time."
Jiang Yao smiled and replied with only two words: "Goodbye."
After dealing with the termination of the contract, Lawyer Xu also made an appointment with the client. He had to go back to the company to get materials. He had to go first. He walked towards the car and told Jiang Yao:
"Ms. Jiang, I have reviewed the copyright contract with Liang. There is no problem. You can sign it with confidence. If you encounter legal problems in the future, just call me at any time."
"Thank you Xu Lu. You've worked hard to accompany me today. When you have time, be sure to tell me and I'll treat you to dinner." Jiang Yao sent him to the car before turning back to the cafe.
Back at the cafe, Jiang Yao signed a copyright sale agreement with Liang Yuze.
Lawyer Xu had reviewed the contract in advance, and the terms in it were almost all favorable to her, and Liang Yuze didn't dare to cheat Jiang Yao even if he had a hundred courages, so Jiang Yao just glanced at it and signed the contract.
Putting away the contract, Liang Yu extended his hand to Jiang Yao: "Happy cooperation!"
Jiang Yao smiled and shook his hand: "Happy cooperation!"
Liang Yuze looked at his watch and saw that it was almost dinner time. He suggested, "Sister-in-law, how about I treat you to a meal tonight?"
Jiang Yao raised her eyebrows: "Just us?"
How could Liang Yuze dare to ask Jiang Yao to have dinner alone? Master Chen knew about it and had to skin him alive. He raised his peach blossom eyes and smiled seriously:
"There are also directors and several colleagues from our company. You may want to work together in the future. I thought it would be a good time to introduce you to each other."
Jiang Yao is free in the evening: "Okay, wait for me then, I'll go to the phone booth outside to make a call."
With so many people eating together, it would definitely not end too early. She had to tell Chen Yanbei in advance, lest he would not be able to see her when he got home and would torture her in different ways when she came home at night.
She was punished four or five times last night, and in the end her legs were unable to be straightened. It was Chen Yanbei who reached out to push her knees down.
Jiang Yao found a phone booth outside the cafe and called Chen Yanbei. It happened that Chen Yanbei also had a dinner tonight, and the time he would go home was not certain.
The two held the phone and talked sweetly for a while. When it was time to put in the coin, they reluctantly hung up.
Lavande Restaurant.
Liang Yuze booked a private room in advance, but he was the last one to arrive at the dinner he organized. When he took Jiang Yao in, several colleagues from Liang's Pictures had already taken their seats.
