Chapter 174 Formal Reconciliation

Let Xinghai, Feina and Laocha temporarily return to the pet bar provided by the game, Zhang Zian walked back quickly.

When he returned to the door of the shop, his sweat had been dried by the autumn wind.

There was a man standing at the door, about thirty or forty years old, just as Mrs. Li described, wearing an expensive suit, carrying a brand-name briefcase, and looking at his watch from time to time, he looked like a successful man in a TV series.

Aunt Li and his wife were entertaining guests on the opposite side of the street, and they took the time to nod to Zhang Zian, indicating that it was this person.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Zhang Zian walked over.

The man looked at Zhang Zian, put on a professional smile, and said, "Hello! Are you Mr. Zhang, the owner of Qiyuan Pet Shop?"

"That's right, it's me." Zhang Zian replied affirmatively. At the same time, he took out the key and unlocked the shutter door. "What's the matter?"

"Great, I saw that the door was not open just now, and I was worried that my trip would be in vain. Fortunately, the stall owner opposite told me to wait for a while, saying that you were out temporarily. I am a lawyer from the legal department of Qiyuan Group. My name is Rong Bai, and this is my business card." The man handed over his business card.

Zhang Zian took the business card and looked at it. Sure enough, as Captain Sheng said yesterday, Fanxing's legal department moved very quickly. It was still exerting pressure in the provincial department two days ago, and it has already arrived in Binhai City today. How efficient is this?

"My name is Zhang Zian, and I'm the owner of this shop, but you probably already know it. By the way, I don't have a business card."

He pulled up the shutter door, "Say it outside or go in?"

Rong Bai smiled, "It's so windy outside, let's go inside and talk. It's rare to come here, and I will also see the famous Qiyuan pet shop."

"Then please come in." Zhang Zian was still more polite

As soon as Rong Bai walked into the store, he immediately smacked his lips regretfully, "Oh, look at what happened, why do you think it happened? How about we all be happy and be friends?"

Zhang Zian immediately agreed, "That's right. As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy. Would you like me to feed you?"

"??" Rong Bai put on a question mark face, but still replied politely: "No, I've eaten."

In fact, the current situation in the store is much better than a few days ago. At least the broken glass and deformed and cracked cans of cat and dog food have been cleaned out. The front half of the store has been affected, and it is not possible to reopen with simple repairs.

Zhang Zian pointed to the chair at the cash register,

Said: "If you don't mind, please sit down."

Rong Bai looked at this thin and shabby four-legged steel chair, frowned unobtrusively, and said with a smile: "I don't need it, there is only one chair, and I sit down, boss Zhang. Isn't it embarrassing to stand? Just stand for a while, it won't take too much time for Boss Zhang..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Zian sitting down on the recliner.

Rong Bai: "..." Paralyzed, is there anyone sitting on a recliner to receive guests?

Zhang Zian knew what he was thinking, and said, "Our great leader had 'swimming pool diplomacy' back then. Let's learn from it. How about a 'deck chair diplomacy'?"

Rong Bai suddenly felt that this person in front of him was very difficult, he was soft but hard, and he didn't take the soft and the hard, but he still had reason. This type of role was something that every lawyer didn't want to meet. However, he was able to become one of the legal advisers of Fanxing Group and come to negotiate peace with Zhang Zian on behalf of Fanxing Group, which showed that he was not an ordinary person.

Rong Bai immediately showed a low posture of being able to bend and stretch, and dragged the four-legged steel chair with a smile to sit down, "Boss Zhang is really interesting, he plays cards out of common sense everywhere, no wonder Chen Taitong was cornered and made such a bad plan."

Zhang Zian was noncommittal, waiting for Rong Bai's next words.

Seeing that Zhang Zian wisely chose not to answer, Rong Bai continued, "Boss Zhang, to tell you the truth, I'm here today to talk about reconciliation."

"Reconciliation, of course I am willing, but it depends on your sincerity." Zhang Zian said ambiguously.

Rong Bai waved his hand lightly and said, "Boss Zhang, please don't get me wrong. I'm here on behalf of Fanxing, not Chen Taitong. Chen Taitong's lawyer is not me, and I don't care what will happen to him."

Huh? Zhang Zian was surprised. What is the situation now? Chen Taitong is the manager of Fanxing's franchise store, and Rong Bai is Fanxing's lawyer in the legal department. Why doesn't Rongbai care about Chen Taitong's life or death?

Rong Bai smiled slightly, opened the briefcase, and took out a stack of documents from the bag.

"This is a copy of the "Franchise Agreement" signed by the group head office and Chen Taitong. Of course, it is only a part of it, and some things related to the company's confidentiality have been mosaiced. Boss Zhang, please read the lines I pointed to. .”

Zhang Zian took the document and looked at the location he pointed to.

The general idea of ​​this passage is: (previously omitted) the two parties reached an agreement in the spirit of equal consultation, friendly cooperation, Party B (Chen Taitong) has the right to operate and set prices independently, and Party A (Fanxing) has no right to interfere. Party B’s operations must not violate any international and domestic laws and moral standards, and must not damage Party A’s image in any public or private occasions, otherwise the contract will be terminated automatically, and Party A has the right to claim compensation for losses from Party B. The specific compensation standard is……

Seriously, these dense and lengthy clauses look like a headache, like a maze. But at least Zhang Zian understood this passage.

He returned the copy to Rong Bai, "I read it, what do you say?"

Rong Bai took the copy and put it back into the briefcase.

"As I said just now, I am here on behalf of Fanxing, not Chen Taitong."

He shrugged regretfully, "Actually, I personally sympathize with Chen Taitong, but there is no way. In business, you must abide by the agreement you signed, and you can't treat the agreement as waste paper."

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's getting late, and I don't want to waste Boss Zhang's time too much, so I'll get down to business."

"Boss Zhang, on behalf of Fanxing, I would like to formally explain the following two points to you: first, we will never interfere in the private affairs between Boss Zhang and Chen Taitong; Make it a joint and several responsible person." Rong Bai put on a straight face, and entered the topic very seriously.

Zhang Zian was a little confused. After all, he hadn't had much experience with the legal terms, so he was dumbfounded.

Rong Bai didn't give him time to digest and understand at all, and immediately said: "If Boss Zhang agrees to these two points, I will provide some financial assistance to Boss Zhang in my own name. If Boss Zhang has objections to the second point, I still decide If you want to sue Fanxing, then we can only meet in court. But I want to remind Boss Zhang that you have read the contract just now, even if you sue Fanxing, there is no chance of winning."

He took out a kraft paper file bag from the inner pocket of his suit and laid it flat on the cash register table, "There are 20,000 yuan in cash and a statement of abandoning the prosecution. If Boss Zhang agrees, after signing the statement, The money is yours."

After finishing speaking, he closed his mouth and waited for Zhang Zian's reply.

Although Zhang Zian has never been involved in a lawsuit, he has seen many of them in TV dramas and movies. How much will the lawyer's fees cost for several years of lawsuits with Fanxing? How is his store still open?

"Can I see the statement first?" he asked.

"Of course." Rong Bai took out a piece of copy paper from the bottom of the kraft paper file - there was really only one piece of paper, and handed it to him.

Zhang Zian took it over and took a look. Fortunately, there were not many words on this piece of paper, and it was simple and easy to understand.

The title is: "Agreement on Waiver of Prosecution Statement"

General idea: I voluntarily waive the right to sue and recover from Fanxing Group for the case number xxxxxxxxxxx through litigation, and hereby declare.

The signature and date below are left blank to be filled in.

Looking at this statement, Zhang Zian deeply felt the sadness of being a law-blind person.

He said, "Just a second, please. I'll make a phone call."

Without waiting for Rong Bai's answer, he went up to the second floor, saw that Rong Bai was still sitting where he was at the stairs, entered the bedroom, closed the door, and took out his mobile phone to call Xiao Yan for help.

After only two rings, the phone was answered over there.

"What's the matter?" she asked nonchalantly.

Zhang Zian told her the content of the statement.

"Wait a minute, I'll call my lawyer friend and I'll call you back later." She immediately hung up the phone.

Zhang Zian turned his phone to vibrate mode, quietly walked out of the bedroom, and confirmed that Rong Bai was still sitting at the door.

After about a minute, the phone vibrated.

He went back into the bedroom and closed the door.

"Hey?"

"It can be signed." Xiao Yan said simply, "This kind of statement is actually not very legally binding. If you really want to sue, you can still sue, but you will bear certain moral accusations in public opinion."

No wonder they only gave 20,000 yuan. It turns out that this statement is not worth much!

Anyway, he planned to reconcile, why not if he has money to make?

"Thank you." He hung up the phone.

Zhang Zian walked down the stairs briskly, "I haven't signed someone's autograph for a long time, bring me a pen!
