Chapter 169 Scale and Temperature
Chapter 169 Scale and Temperature
After a while, Gu Yu scooped a bowl of soup and drank it slowly, while Ye Xin, after some thought, became as listless as an eggplant hit by frost.
"I've thought about it carefully, especially considering the livelihood of Yan Nana and her family. Maybe it's appropriate to withdraw the lawsuit."
Ye Xin calmly thought about all the details, listened to Gu Yu's words, and stood in the perspective of the person involved.
But after she said it, she felt even more uncomfortable. This was not what she thought a judge or court should be like. She even began to doubt why she studied law in the first place.
"The law has its standards, the judges have their own temperature, and the law is not static, it is also constantly improving.
To protect the interests of the vast majority of people as much as possible, we need patience and confidence, and, in some cases, we can be flexible under the existing conditions. "
Gu Yu saw Ye Xin's confusion and spoke slowly, then changed the topic and his voice suddenly became relaxed and high-pitched.
Ye Xin raised her head and looked at Gu Yu who was smiling, her big eyes full of confusion. Isn’t that what you said just now?
"Do you have an idea?" Ye Xin reacted and asked hurriedly.
"I have some ideas, but I need to consult someone first."
Gu Yu smiled and pressed his hand, motioning her to calm down first, then took out his phone and dialed the number.
"Hey, Mom, did you miss me?"
"Haha, it is said that the person who understands me best is my dearest mother.
This is the case. I have something to ask you about. It is about the justice that your son insists on.
Lawyer Fang will consider the feasibility and how to win the case, or whether the other party is willing to settle the compensation privately. "
The person on the other end of the phone was Gu Yu's mother Fang Jing, the gold medal partner of Junhe Law Firm.
After listening to Gu Yu's description, Fang Jing gave her own suggestions based on several real cases in recent years where franchisees sued brand owners.
The most important point is not how much concrete evidence there is, because Chia Tea Company is well prepared.
The opponent's legal affairs department only cares about this and will not leave them any fatal opportunities.
But why didn’t Chiacha sue Yan Nana and her husband for breach of contract?
It’s not that they want to leave a way out so that they can meet again in the future, but they don’t want to make a big deal out of it and damage the brand image.
The possibility of winning the case is not high, but if you want the other party to compensate and mediate privately, as long as you show your attitude and make some noise, the possibility of achieving the result is very high.
Gu Yu made the call to verify his inner thoughts and to seek external help.
"Mom, you have to help me. Leave professional matters to professionals. Please introduce me to a reliable lawyer."
In front of Fang Jing, Gu Yu doesn't need to pretend anything and can act like a rogue and make all kinds of requests.
"You have been shameless to me since childhood. If you want to hire a lawyer, why don't you just hire one yourself? You don't want to spend money, but you want a good one.
How did you come across this? Don’t you dislike milk tea? And this is a case in Xingcheng District Court.
Xiaoyu, tell your mother if you are in love. Is the girl from the filing court or the civil court?
Is he a judge? Is he good-looking? When will you bring him to meet mom?" Fang Jing kept asking.
"Okay, okay, Mom, what are you guessing? I just saw injustice and wanted to help. I'm going to hang up now. Let me know when the lawyer is arranged."
Gu Yu quickly hung up the phone. If they continued talking, he would ask about the wedding date.
1th Floor, Tower 26, Hong Kong Resort Center, Taikoo Hui, Xujiahui, Shanghai.
"This kid."
Fang Jing, dressed in a white suit and trousers, looked dignified and noble as she sat at her desk. When she heard Gu Yu hang up the phone, she shook her head helplessly.
"Xiao Li, come in."
Fang Jing put her phone aside and notified her assistant to come in.
I explained the general situation to her and asked her to contact the Rongzhou branch of Junhe Law Firm.
"Tell Qin Lu that I am paying close attention to this case and look forward to a good outcome."
After Fang Jing finished speaking calmly, she continued to work and looked at the documents on her desk. After Assistant Li finished taking notes, he respectfully left the office.
Junhe Law Firm has three grades and nine levels: junior, intermediate, and senior, which are further divided into three levels: A, B, C.
Every senior lawyer at Jun He above level B has the opportunity to be successfully promoted to partner.
Jun He's Career Development Committee recommends candidate lawyers to be promoted to partners to the Management Committee for review. Upon approval, they will be recommended to the Partners' Meeting.
The partners will discuss and then vote by secret ballot, and the proposal will be deemed passed if more than half of the partners agree.
Fang Qing is a member of the management committee and will also attend partner meetings.
During her many years at Jun He, she was able to influence almost half of the partners and played a pivotal role in the law firm.
The several million yuan in annual income that Gu Yu had imagined before was definitely too little. It would have to be at least four or five times higher.
"What did Aunt Fang say?" Ye Xin asked expectantly after Gu Yu hung up the phone.
"She was willing to help and offered advice, but it was unlikely that she would win the case.
But we can use public opinion and Chia Cha's fear of damaging his reputation.
Let them compensate Yan Nana for her losses and settle the matter peacefully. If this succeeds, this would be the best outcome."
Gu Yu was worried that Ye Xin was still thinking about winning the case and resolving it through legal means.
"I know. As long as I can help Yan Nana and the others and get compensation, that's good enough. Am I that stubborn? Really."
Ye Xin gave Gu Yu a slightly flirtatious roll of the eyes, and her mood improved when she heard the affirmative answer.
"Aunt Fang has always been my idol. When I was studying law in college, many of the cases in our class were Aunt Fang's cases. You are so lucky."
Ye Xin's eyes were shining, her hands were clasped together, and her face was full of anticipation.
"Your father is Professor Ye Cunyuan, both are second generation. Is it necessary to act like a little fangirl?"
"How can they be the same? I see my dad every day and I don't have any feelings for him. I haven't met Aunt Fang yet, I've only heard of her legend, the Queen of Law."
"Okay, I'll take you to see her next time. She just asked me how I got involved in this case."
"What should we do next? Are we going to meet Yan Nana and the others?"
The two stopped joking and returned to the milk tea franchise case.
"Wait for the lawyer my mother recommended to contact me, and then we'll go find Yan Nana to manage the bookstore.
In addition to the efforts of the law firm, I also plan to use some other forces to help you vent your anger.
The next time you see the legal officer Zheng Liang, he will definitely have a good attitude. "Gu Yu looked at Ye Xin with a smile.
Ye Xin felt warm in her heart. She had only said it casually, but Gu Yu had taken it to heart. It felt so good to be protected by someone.
"Thank you, Gu Yu, for not only being willing to listen to me, but also helping me find solutions and connections, and being willing to accommodate my willfulness." Ye Xin's eyes were filled with emotion.
"Besides, I'm about to cry. If you really want to thank me, you can treat me to a meal."
Gu Yu jokingly changed the topic to liven up the atmosphere, making the whole thing seem like a romance drama.
"No, that won't do. Let's put things in perspective. It was agreed that it was you who treated me." Ye Xin pouted, pretending to be unhappy.
"Okay, okay, it's my treat, isn't it? Waiter, pay the bill."
"I'll buy you some milk tea, let's go."
After Gu Yu paid the bill, Ye Xin smiled and took his arm, and the two of them walked out of the store.
