Chapter 149 Apprentice Behaving Well? Out of Control Again

Harper Cigar Co.

A corner of the reception hall.

Lin Yumeng and Mo Mingchuan started a brief exchange about the lawsuit.

"Sorry, professor, the first negotiation ended like this."

"Xiao Lin, you don't need to apologize. You are just representing a case as a lawyer. You just want to do your job well. You are just helping clients complete legal procedures that are completely unfamiliar to them."

Mo Mingchuan smiled slightly, showing the demeanor of an elder.

But then, he changed the subject, "But to be honest, you can't win this case!"

"Little Lin, I can guarantee that you and your clients will end up frustrated!"

Facing Mo Mingchuan's provocation, Lin Yumeng was speechless for a while.

"Uh, professor, I don't think we will definitely lose, I still have the support of my master behind me!"

"Your master, is he a well-known lawyer?"

"My master's name is Zhang Wei. Although he joined the law firm on the same day as me, and although he is also a fresh graduate, he is really amazing!"

"Joined the law firm on the same day as you, and is a fresh graduate like you, which college?"

"He is from the Law School of Dongda University!"

"Hmph, Dongda, in my eyes, they are just a bunch of second-rate people!"

Hearing the background of Lin Yumeng's master in the law firm, Mo Mingchuan smiled.

"Xiao Lin, do you know that your opponent is not some small companies, but a multinational enterprise with an asset scale exceeding 100 billion. Do you think that with the strength of you and your master, you can shake such a behemoth?"

"this……"

Lin Yumeng's expression already spoke volumes.

But Mo Mingchuan continued. He hooked his fingers towards Lin Yumeng, making the latter move closer.

"Xiao Lin, as your professor, I can reveal some information to you in private. Of course, this is all due to the relationship between you and me as a teacher. Do you understand?"

"Professor, what are you going to say?"

"Harper Cigar's litigation strategy is not to win individual lawsuits like yours, but to establish a model through every lawsuit, every lawsuit! Your case may be an ordinary case to you , but for us, it is an opponent that needs to be defeated with all our strength, can you imagine what kind of confrontation you will encounter by then?"

When Mo Mingchuan said this, he stood up unconsciously, and his tall body put a lot of pressure on Lin Yumeng.

"In this case, we will also use all our resources, and your fiasco will also deter any such potential litigation!"

After seeing the effect, Mo Mingchuan sat down again, "Xiao Lin, do you understand what I mean?"

"Uh, professor, I don't quite understand..."

"Xiao Lin, you are my student, I believe you don't really know nothing, otherwise I won't let you graduate!"

Mo Mingchuan looked at his students and said with a smile, "Do you still remember the second lesson I taught you when I taught you business law?"

Lin Yumeng tilted her head with a naive expression, "Well, let me think about it, what is it..."

"Let me tell you, when big companies face such lawsuits, their principle is to refuse any form of compensation, because any single case is very dangerous for them!"

"Professor, it seems that there is no need for us to talk about it?"

Now that everyone has said so, Lin Yumeng plans to get up.

"Xiao Lin, how is your financial law study?" But Mo Mingchuan spoke again and stopped her.

Lin Yumeng could only sit down again, and replied awkwardly: "Uh, barely passed, I'm not very good at counting money..."

"I know a truth. Sometimes it costs more than a dozen yuan to protect a loss of one or two yuan. This does not conform to the simple logic of finance. It happens that you are my student, so why don't we settle this matter in private? Sample?"

Seeing that Lin Yumeng was about to open his mouth, Mo Mingchuan immediately added, "Remember, you are my student, so I will be lenient. If it was someone else, I wouldn't say so much!"

"Professor, I still don't understand what you mean?"

Since Lin Yumeng asked, Mo Mingchuan would naturally give an explanation.

"It's very simple. Civil lawsuits are nothing more than money, but the bottom line for Harper's cigars is 0, and they won't accompany you for a penny."

"So here we go, you ask the client to sign a waiver of claims, and I will put this document in a safe in the office to make sure no one has access to it, and I will not submit this document voluntarily, Then our Mingchuan Law Firm will pay the claim fee. In view of the relationship between you and me, I can give your client 100,000 claim amount, and this money will not go to the public account. You will know that there is this money. This money will be withdrawn from Harper Cigar’s company account in the form of legal fees in the end, this is the special treatment I give you, this matter is over, what do you think?”

Mo Mingchuan gave out the conditions, and the next step is Lin Yumeng's opinion.

"Is it legal to do this?"

"Of course, what's the problem with this? Your claim lawsuit is withdrawn, and there is no record of any funds transactions on the books. Your client can get a pretty good compensation, and my client can settle a mess as soon as possible. It's a small matter, but it's a happy thing for both of you!"

"But I feel that 100,000 is a bit small..."

"Xiao Lin, don't you understand? If this lawsuit goes on, your client may not get a penny. For such an old man, 100,000 is equivalent to allowing him to spend his old age in peace!"

"I, I need to think about..."

"Can!"

Mo Mingchuan looked at Lin Yumeng, and when the latter was about to get up, he reminded again: "But I want to be clear, your case will definitely lose, once you make a wrong choice, you may regret not immediately agreeing today My terms!"

"Professor, I'm going back. I'll discuss it with the client tomorrow, and then I'll give you an answer."

"Okay, I'll be here tomorrow, waiting for you to arrive!"

Mo Mingchuan and Lin Yumeng waved goodbye.

"By the way, Xiao Lin, what law firm did you join, I almost forgot to ask?"

"Oh, I joined Jincheng, the criminal team of Jincheng's litigation department!"

"Golden City?!"

Seeing Lin Yumeng disappear at the end of the corridor, Mo Mingchuan was inexplicably surprised.

Why can Lin Yumeng join Jincheng Law Firm, which ranks first in the top ten firms, but why is it in the criminal group?

He remembered that this girl did not major in criminal law.

"Forget it, no matter who the opponent is, I, Mo Mingchuan, are not afraid. Even if Lin Xiangtian comes in person, I will fight him hard!"

Mo Mingchuan didn't care about Lin Yumeng at all.

As for the master in her mouth, it doesn't matter!

...

Jincheng law firm.

Office of the Criminal Division.

Lin Yumeng came back and reported what happened today to Zhang Wei one by one.

"Master, the apprentice knew it was wrong. He didn't prepare anything for the first negotiation, and even drove the client away. I will write a review immediately, and I will immediately..."

"No, you're doing well!"

Just as Lin Yumeng was about to admit her mistake, Zhang Wei said something that surprised her.

"ah?"

Lin Yumeng was stunned, completely stunned.

I'm not bad like this?

Fortunately, I still thought about many sad things when I was a child, and I was about to shed a few tears to sell a wave of misery, but you actually didn't intend to reprimand me at all, and you praised me for doing a good job?

It's a waste of people's feelings~

Lin Yumeng was about to cry, she swore she almost did.

"You did a good job. This time, participating in the negotiation not only allowed the client to express his attitude in front of the opponent, but also let the other party know that our chief lawyer is an idiot. This is already very good!"

"Team leader, master is bullying people~"

Hearing Zhang Wei's praise, Lin Yumeng finally burst into tears, crying and shouting to find Tie Ruyun.

"Xiaomeng, don't cry, you still have to contact the customer. By the way, you can keep crying and call him. If he asks why you are crying, you can say that you were trained by me, so that he can He will sympathize with you, and when you make a request, he will not object!"

Good guy, Zhang Wei has even calculated this step.

Lin Yumeng even suspected that Zhang Wei just wanted to make himself cry, and he just said that on purpose.

Although reluctant, Lin Yumeng called He Qingnian with a crying voice, and the latter also asked why Lin Yumeng was crying as Zhang Wei expected.

"It's all master, she called me a fool, woo woo woo..."

"Xiao Lin, don't cry, I won't be like this tomorrow, I will cooperate with your work, so be it, don't cry anymore, young people should smile more!"

On the phone desk, He Qingnian felt a little distressed, and hurriedly offered a word of comfort, coaxing and persuading him, and then hung up the phone.

"Hey, it works really well!"

Lin Yumeng just hung up the phone, but Zhang Wei was overjoyed.

"Xiaomeng, you not only made an appointment, but Mr. He also gave in. You performed very well today. I give you a thumbs up~"

"Your praise, I don't want to..."

Lin Yumeng shook her head, looking unhappy.

Happy Monday ended with "laughing and laughing".

...

Evening, Lin Mansion.

Zhang Wei sat in his room, analyzing Lin Yumeng's report word by word.

"Professor Mo Ming Chuanmo, this is actually the opponent. Although Xiaomeng is very talented, but to compete with this level, I still feel a lot worse."

"In this way, I have to take action at the critical moment!"

Thinking about it, Zhang Wei quickly browsed the opened webpage.

The webpage is full of introductions about Mo Mingchuan and Mingchuan Law Firm under his name.

This law firm has 350 practicing lawyers and more than 500 employees, making it a truly large law firm.

Not only that, as Mo Mingchuan is the top leader of the law firm, the entire law firm is staffed by him.

Zhang Wei browsed the official website of Mingchuan Law Firm. Many of them were high-achieving law students who graduated from Jin Nan University, and they were all disciples of Mo Mingchuan.

Mingchuan Law Firm can be said to represent the Jinnan Law School!

Zhang Wei's opponent this time is a representative of Jinnan Law School!

It is definitely not an easy task to be an opponent of this Professor Mo.

...

The next day, morning.

Zhang Wei is giving instructions to Lin Yumeng.

"Xiaomeng, the case has been submitted to the court. Today your task is to take the client to complete the "testimony transcript". The court asked Professor Mo to preside over it, but don't be afraid, I will support you at the gate of Harper Cigar Company ! "

"Master, why don't you go in with me?"

"I'm in charge of the surprise attack. If I showed up at the beginning, wouldn't my surprise attack be ineffective?"

As Zhang Wei said, he patted the little apprentice on the shoulder and cheered on the island: "Only when you can't control it, I will go in to support you, so you have to work hard today, I am optimistic about you~"

"Uh, well..."

Lin Yumeng curled her lips, but still agreed.

Not long after, He Qingnian came and set off again with Lin Yumeng, but Zhang Wei deliberately missed the time with them.

The two sides staggered to open a subway and arrived at the Dongjiang business district in batches.

Lin Yumeng and He Qingnian went upstairs first, and after nearly 10 minutes, Zhang Weicai barely walked out of the subway station.

Harper's Cigar Company, reception hall.

"Grandpa He, today we are going to finish the testimonial transcript, don't worry, I will watch it for you."

"What is a testimony transcript?"

"It's just some questions about the case. What they ask, you can answer it truthfully, but if it is some inappropriate question, I will interrupt them!"

"Oh, I see, I will try to restrain myself today!"

He Qingnian nodded, and then the two of them waited.

But yesterday's female assistant came out quickly, without keeping them waiting.

"It's Lawyer Lin and Mr. He, Professor Mo is already waiting for you in the conference room, please follow me!"

Lin Yumeng and He Qingnian looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Waited for 1 hour yesterday, but today it took less than 2 minutes to get in.

It seems that the other party is waiting for them!

Just after the two entered the company, the elevator opened again, and Zhang Wei appeared.

"Hello, please pour me a cup of coffee thank you!"

Zhang Wei sat on the sofa in the lobby as if he was familiar with himself, and asked the receptionist at the door to prepare coffee for him, with a very casual attitude.

The reception lady was also depressed, why did another coffee drinker come here.

But because they couldn't figure out Zhang Wei's details, they could only start making coffee.

meeting room.

Lin Yumeng and He Qingnian took their seats, but there were two more people sitting next to Mo Mingchuan who was sitting opposite.

The two Lin Yumeng even knew each other. They were two seniors from the previous school, but they graduated early and obviously joined Mingchuan Law Firm.

"The testimonial transcript, Kobayashi, you should be clear about it, right?"

"Yes, Professor!"

"Okay then, let's get started!"

Mo Mingchuan signaled the students around him to turn on the video recorders, and began to ask questions while recording.

"Mr. He, although I asked again yesterday, I still want to ask you, when did your wife stop using our company's products?"

"Then my answer is the same as yesterday. She didn't quit until she died!"

"You claim your wife smoked for 30 years, so were you with her before she started?"

"Yes, when I met her, she started smoking these damn cigars. Originally, my wife had a lot of money in her family, and she had a lot of dowry. My family also had several houses in the East, but because of this damn thing , my wife's dowry, and my family's money is gone. Also because my wife smokes this shit, my father's relationship with me has become so bad, and his attitude towards my wife makes me very angry, so to speak The damn thing ruined my home!"

"Mr. He, I understand your feelings, but our company's products only serve high-end customers, and customers who are 'enthusiastic' like your wife are rare in our opinion."

"you……"

He Qingnian was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Yumeng.

"Grandpa He, calm down!"

Seeing Lin Yumeng, He Qingnian finally remembered today's mission.

He restrained himself and returned to normal for a while.

"Mr. He, I apologize to you for the questions just now, but the questions I asked were just to understand the details of your wife's death."

"The detail is that she is dead!"

"People are born, old, sick, and die. These are inevitable things. Maybe in another ten or twenty years, you and I will usher in the end of our lives."

Seeing Mo Mingchuan's attitude, He Qingnian couldn't bear it anymore.

"That's it. You are delaying time on purpose. My wife is delaying because of you. In the end, she died, and your goal has been achieved?"

"Are you expecting that the case will be solved after the person dies?"

"According to what you said just now, do you also want me to die as soon as possible, and then you..."

"Well, let me interrupt..."

Seeing He Qingnian like this, Lin Yumeng squeaked hastily.

"Xiao Lin, you don't need to talk!" Unfortunately, her words did not interrupt He Qingnian.

And Mo Mingchuan watched this scene, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not restrain at all.

After venting for a minute, He Qingnian restrained himself a little, and said slowly: "I tell you, I will not die, at least until this matter is over, I will not die, I want to live, and put this matter to rest The case is understood, and I will make you pay the price!"

He looked at Mo Mingchuan, and said word by word: "Your client's cigar killed my wife. Even if the situation is desperate, I will not give up. I will live with one!"

Mo Mingchuan sneered, and told the students on the side: "Record it, the witness refuses to die!"

A few minutes later, He Qingnian broke out again, and left the meeting room angrily, shaking his sleeves.

Lin Yumeng had no choice but to chase him out again.

"Xiao Lin, I'm sorry, but with their attitude, how do you ask me to talk to them properly!"

"Grandpa He, but your attitude is rude in my opinion. They are just asking you some questions about the case, and you just need to answer calmly.'

"I looked at them and couldn't calm down. Now I'm going out for a walk, and if you have anything to do, call me later!"

He Qingnian took the elevator again and left the office building alone.

Lin Yumeng stood at the door of the elevator with a depressed expression on her face.

"Aren't you deflated again, little apprentice?"

Zhang Wei got up from the sofa and leaned over quietly.

"Master, why is it so difficult to preside over a testimony transcript?"

"No, it was you who had the illusion that you didn't complete the task, but in my opinion, you did a very good job. Once again, you let the opponent see the difficulty of our client, and you scare them~"

"Master, why don't I believe what you said?"

"Don't be afraid, I will accompany you to see that Professor Mo later, and I will have a good chat with him."

"Really?"

Lin Yumeng was overjoyed, and Zhang Wei finally decided to go out.

"No, no, I just want a teacher-to-teacher conversation, that's all!"

Zhang Wei's unpredictable smile made Lin Yumeng a little uncertain.
