Volume 7: Mr. Love, Elite Lawyer, and Two Conjectures about Marriage Chapter 475 Yuan Xudong helps Wu Meiwei to cheat herself
After seeing Yuan Xudong drive away from the window, Wu Meiwei couldn't wait to run to Dai Xi's house next door. She shouted excitedly:
"Dai Xi, I'm in love, what should I do?"
"Wu Meiwei, what are you yelling about?"
Dai Xi's boyfriend Mai Fei was also in the room. Dai Xi was pestering him to write a lawyer's letter for a delivery boy for free, but then he heard Wu Meiwei's yelling and couldn't help but give her a blank look.
Seeing that Dai Xi's boyfriend Mai Fei was also there, Wu Meiwei quickly suppressed her overly excited mood. She looked at Mai Fei who was sitting on the sofa in the living room and said:
"Oh, by the way, in the evening, the secretary of Ren Xiaonian's lawyer called me and said that Ren Xiaonian's lawyer hoped to meet with me."
"Who is it? Liu Yingmei again?"
Mai Fei asked directly, Wu Meiwei shook her head slightly and said:
"no!"
"Who called you then?"
"I don't know. A female secretary asked me if I was Wu Meiwei, and then said that Ren Xiaonian's lawyer wanted to meet with me."
"So how did you tell her?"
Dai Xi asked, Wu Meiwei glanced at her and said:
"I'll do as you say. I'll tell her I'll discuss it with my lawyer and give her a reply tomorrow."
"So what did she say?"
Mai Fei asked, Wu Meiwei looked at him again and replied:
"Oh, she asked me if I had told you that Ren Xiaonian's lawyer wanted to meet with me. I said no, and she said that as my attorney, you should at least tell me."
Hearing Wu Meiwei say this, Mai Fei suddenly stood up from the sofa and said angrily:
"I did get this call, and I rejected it at the time, Lina. It was 100 percent Lina. She was trying to sow discord between you and me, and to undermine the client's trust in the lawyer."
"No, no, who is Lina?"
Dai Xi asked, Mai Fei glanced at her and replied:
"Luo Bin's secretary, this must have been instigated by Luo Bin. The two of them often work together like this."
"We must meet her. When did they replace Liu Yingmei?"
As Dai Xi was talking, she began to look for the business card that Luo Bin gave her. Seeing her like this, Mai Fei couldn't help but ask:
"What are you flipping through?"
"Robin's business card. He gave me a business card."
"When did you two meet?"
"This morning, this is the legendary "enemies meet on a narrow road", I found it!"
Dai Xi finally found the business card that Luo Bin gave her. Mai Fei took the business card from her and took a look. Seeing that it was indeed Luo Bin's, he couldn't help but hold the business card and kept complaining:
"I know Luo Bin too well. If he takes the initiative to ask for a meeting, it usually means he knows he is not in the right and cannot win. He is conceited and arrogant. If there is any chance of winning, he will not waste time to meet us!"
Hearing Mai Fei say this, Dai Xi smiled and said:
"Then we must meet him!"
"Why?"
"Pride goes before a fall!"
"That's right, the arrogant will be defeated!"
After taking a look at Dai Xi and Wu Meiwei who agreed to meet Luo Bin, Mai Fei said hesitantly:
"What if he wants to dig a hole for you? He's really good at digging holes and letting you jump into them!"
"Why can't we dig a bigger hole and let him jump into it?"
Seeing Mai Fei talking about Luo Bin in such a mysterious way, Dai Xi said with a bit of disapproval:
"Let's record it all. If he dares to admit to infringement, we can post it online and let netizens seek justice for us. How about that ?"
"Alright, there's nothing to lose anyway!"
Mai Fei finally agreed to Dai Xi's idea of secretly filming, but he looked at Dai Xi and Wu Meiwei with some concern and said:
"Then let's make a deal first. None of us can jump into Luo Bin's pit. He can only jump into our pit!"
"Don't worry!"
"no problem!"
Seeing Mai Fei still a little worried, Dai Xi and Wu Meiwei promised him. After discussing Luo Bin's matter, Wu Meiwei looked at Mai Fei and said:
"Okay, you can go now. I'm going to talk to Dai Xi about something between us best friends. It's not convenient for you to listen in!"
"Okay, then you two can chat, I'll go back and prepare for tomorrow's meeting. "
"Bye-Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After taking a last look at Dai Xi and Wu Meiwei who were lying together on the sofa in the living room and waving goodbye to him, Mai Fei picked up his briefcase, turned around and left Dai Xi's house. Although he was Dai Xi's boyfriend, they did not live together. Unlike other girls, Dai Xi was relatively traditional. Fortunately, Mai Fei did not care much about this aspect. Compared with love, he and Dai Xi cared more about each other's careers. In fact, Dai Xi's academic performance was also very good, but because of some things, she was not able to graduate smoothly, and naturally she could not do the job of a lawyer. But she did not give up. Now she works as a waitress in a cafe while looking for a way out to see if she can engage in legal work. She does not necessarily have to be a lawyer.
After Mai Fei left, Dai Xi and Wu Meiwei lay on the sofa in the living room and played around. After playing for a while, Dai Xi looked at Wu Meiwei, who was full of joy, and said with a smile:
"Why are you so happy? Did something good happen that I don't know about? Did you and Mr. Yuan confirm it so quickly?"
"No, how can it be so fast?"
Lying next to Dai Xi, Wu Meiwei hugged her arms and smiled happily:
"But it's almost the same. This latest Gucci skirt and this Hermès scarf were both bought by him for me. He spent tens of thousands of dollars on them. They look pretty good, don't they?"
"How dare you accept such an expensive gift?"
Dai Xi thought that Wu Meiwei was still wearing her original imitation skirt, but she didn't expect it to be real, and it was given to her by Yuan Xudong, whom she had just met not long ago. She couldn't help but say with some worry:
"Meiwei, you have to be careful and don't be fooled by him. How about we go to his company and investigate secretly?"
"No need, I know his situation, you can search it on Baidu!"
As she spoke, Wu Meiwei searched for Yuan Xudong on her phone, and showed Dai Xi the information page about Yuan Xudong that popped up on the browser. She took a look and said with a smile:
"Look, he's the boss of Tengfei Capital. It says here that he's a billionaire, and he's not married yet!"
"Just because he's not married doesn't mean he doesn't have a girlfriend, right?"
Although Dai Xi had a good impression of Yuan Xudong, she should not have the intention to harm others, but should always be on guard against others. He gave Wu Meiwei such an expensive gift just when they just met, and he was a billionaire, and he made Wu Meiwei so infatuated. Dai Xi was more or less worried about her best friend. She knew better than anyone how confused Wu Meiwei could be. If Yuan Xudong was really a bad guy, then she must have been sold out and was counting money for others.
In fact, most people are like this. Dai Xi subconsciously feels that there is something wrong with Yuan Xudong, which has a lot to do with Yuan Xudong's identity as a billionaire. If Yuan Xudong was just an ordinary person and did not give Wu Meiwei a gift worth tens of thousands of dollars as soon as they met, Dai Xi would still have a good impression of Yuan Xudong and think that he is a good person. She would absolutely support her best friend to date him. But now she finds out that Yuan Xudong is a billionaire and her best friend is just an ordinary girl who has moved to Beijing. Isn't the gap too big?
Although I really like to watch idol dramas like the domineering CEO falling in love with Cinderella, reality is not fiction. Think about those rich second-generations, how could they marry a commoner? From ancient times to the present, being well-matched is not just talk. Most of those rich second-generations just want to have fun, but they will not really fall in love with a Cinderella from an ordinary family. At most, they will be temporary girlfriends for a period of time. When they get tired of playing, they will kick her out, and then give her some breakup fee and hush money, and then find the next girlfriend, one after another, and the cycle continues.
It's a pity that bystanders can see things more clearly than those involved. After listening to Yuan Xudong's sweet words, Wu Meiwei still believed him. She looked at Dai Xi who was a little worried about her and said:
"Okay, don't worry about me, I will be careful!"
"You, be careful not to get sold and help others count money. I don't care about you!"
Dai Xi couldn't help but give Wu Meiwei a cold look and poked her forehead with her finger. Wu Meiwei couldn't help but screamed in pain, then pounced on Dai Xi and tickled her, wrestling with her and laughing:
"Dai Xi, have you ever been kissed?"
"What? You have kissed Mr. Yuan?"
"No!"
"real?"
"real!"
…
The next afternoon, Wu Meiwei made an appointment with Luo Bin to meet in the coffee shop where Dai Xi worked. Yuan Xudong and Mai Fei were also there. The agreed meeting time was 2pm. It was now 1:30pm. Yuan Xudong sat at the table with Wu Meiwei and watched Dai Xi and Mai Fei fiddling with a pocket-sized mobile camera across from them. They hid the camera in Wu Meiwei's bag, facing the only remaining empty seat.
Because Yuan Xudong and Wu Meiwei were sitting on one side, Mai Fei also occupied a seat, so when Luo Bin came to the appointment, he could only sit in this empty seat. Yuan Xudong was called by Wu Meiwei, who wanted Yuan Xudong to accompany her. In fact, this was just a reason for Wu Meiwei to see him. Yuan Xudong found something to do for Xu Le in the company, and then secretly ran down, so that he would not have to worry about being pestered by Xu Le. Since then, Xu Le has become very clingy, and he wants to hang on Yuan Xudong all day long. This makes Yuan Xudong feel painful and happy. The coffee he drinks on weekdays has also become Nutri-Express, just to supplement as much nutrition and protein as possible.
About ten minutes later, Luo Bin came in. They nodded to each other. He looked at the somewhat reserved Mai Fei and smiled:
"Mai Fei, this should be the first case you have taken on, right? Don't be nervous, we are just chatting!"
As he spoke, Luo Bin patted Mai Fei's shoulder in encouragement, as if he was still Mai Fei's mentor. Mai Fei was outshined by Luo Bin and introduced himself expressionlessly:
"I'm not nervous. This is my client, Ms. Wu Meiwei, and her good friend, Mr. Yuan Xudong!"
"Hello, Miss Wu. I'm Luo Bin. Hello, Mr. Yuan. We meet again!"
"Hello, Lawyer Luo!"
After a brief introduction, Luo Bin looked at Wu Meiwei and said with a smile:
"Mai Fei used to intern at my place. He must have told you a lot of interesting stories about his time there, right?"
"Lawyer Luo, we are not here to reminisce about the past. We are here to resolve the issue of Ren Xiaonian's company infringing on Ms. Wu's intellectual property rights!"
Seeing that Luo Bin was trying to suppress him in front of Wu Meiwei, Mai Fei interrupted directly. As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Bin said with a serious face:
"Xiaomi, the court hasn't ruled yet, how can you say that Ren Xiaonian's company infringed on Ms. Wu's intellectual property rights?"
As he spoke, Luo Bin glanced at Wu Meiwei and Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, I didn't teach him well, it's all my fault!"
"I still remember everything you taught me. The trick you are using now is called preemptive strike and suppressing others. The purpose is to make my client distrust me. We will not be fooled!"
Mai Fei looked at Luo Bin and said in a tit-for-tat manner. After just a glance at him, Luo Bin sat down in an empty seat near the aisle, shook his head slightly and said with a smile:
"I never taught you this trick, you must have remembered it wrong!"
"My memory has always been good!"
"Really? Then you must remember what I taught you before. The function of the law is not to provoke disputes, but to stop disputes; not to create differences, but to prevent differences; not to confuse right and wrong, but to provide accurate facts in a fair manner and accurate wording!"
Not wanting to talk about these big principles with Luo Bin anymore, Mai Fei went straight to the point:
"Lawyer Luo, have you seen our comparison?"
“I’ve seen it!”
“Do you think it’s similar?”
“Great minds think alike!”
"So you mean that everyone thinks the same way?"
After Mai Fei finished speaking, Luo Bin nodded. At this time, Wu Meiwei interrupted and said:
"Ren Xiaonian's secretary called me and asked me to go for an interview, so it's impossible for us to think alike!"
After Wu Meiwei finished speaking, Luo Bin avoided giving a direct answer and changed the subject:
"Ms. Wu, a good lawyer does not sue. In fact, I am here today to convey goodwill on behalf of Ren Xiaonian's company!"
As he spoke, he handed a document in his hand to Wu Meiwei and said with a smile:
"This is an agreement. Ren Xiaonian's Ren's Fashion hopes to invite you to be their chief designer, with an annual salary of over one million!"
Wu Meiwei was delighted to hear that she could get a job as a chief designer with an annual salary of over one million. Mai Fei took the agreement for her and looked at it, then looked at Luo Bin and said:
"The premise for us to withdraw the lawsuit is that you must admit the infringement and pay Ms. Wu Meiwei 5 million yuan in compensation!"
“We didn’t infringe on anyone’s rights!”
Seeing that Luo Bin still refused to admit the infringement, Mai Fei asked directly:
"Then why did you take the initiative to reconcile?"
After looking at Mai Fei, Luo Bin looked at Wu Meiwei and said with a smile:
"Because we don't want to be an enemy of such a talented designer!"
Wu Meiwei is just an ordinary girl who has moved to Beijing. Although she has some talent, she is insignificant Seeing that Luo Bin is lying with his eyes open, Mai Fei couldn't help but said angrily:
"Lawyer Luo, how do you explain the high similarity between Ren's Fashion's products and Ms. Wu's works? And you just admitted that the comparison results are indeed highly overlapping, right?"
Hearing Mai Fei say this, Luo Bin just made a rogue argument:
"The genomes of chimpanzees and humans are also highly overlapping, with a similarity of 99 percent, but no one would say that chimpanzees and you are the same species!"
As he spoke, Luo Bin looked at Wu Meiwei and said with a smile:
"Ms. Wu, I strongly suggest that you consult other lawyers to see if the one we offer you is the best!"
Yuan Xudong took the document from Mai Fei and took a look at it. He had to say that as a professional lawyer, what Luo Bin said was simply a blasphemy against the law, or he did not take Mai Fei and Wu Meiwei seriously at all. What he said had no reasonable logic at all, and he was simply making fun of others as if they were fools. Regarding the issue of intellectual property rights, he even used the comparison of the genomes of chimpanzees and humans to make the argument. If we follow his logic, wouldn't he just change it casually and say that Dream of Red Mansions was written by himself?
After quickly reading the agreement that Luo Bin prepared for Wu Meiwei, Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Bin, who was smiling the whole time, and said:
"Lawyer Luo, let's not talk about whether your chimpanzee theory is appropriate. According to this agreement, if Meiwei becomes the chief designer of Ren's Fashion, all her works will belong to Ren's Fashion, and there will naturally be no infringement. You just wrote a blank check and exchanged all of Meiwei's works, and incidentally solved this infringement crisis. Isn't this too idealistic?"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Luo Bin smiled and said:
"It's not a blank check, it's a job as a chief designer with an annual salary of one million!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Luo Bin who was trying his best to deceive others, Yuan Xudong also smiled and said:
"The so-called annual salary of one million is before tax, and you have to meet very demanding performance indicators. If you fail to meet them, Ren's Fashion will not only not have to pay much salary, but also have the right to unilaterally terminate the employment contract. I find it hard to imagine that you can deceive a young girl who doesn't know much about law and contracts with a smile on your face. Do so-called elite lawyers like you rely on this method to deceive victims and then go to your master to collect rewards?"
Yuan Xudong's words were extremely impolite, but Luo Bin still said with a smile:
"A job with an annual salary of one million naturally requires certain targets to be met. I believe that someone as talented as Miss Wu can definitely meet the corresponding targets!"
"Yeah?"
Glancing at Luo Bin, Yuan Xudong hated it most in his life when people showed off in front of him, especially the male protagonist. He pushed the agreement in his hand directly in front of him and smiled slightly:
"It's not impossible for us to withdraw the lawsuit. Since Ren's Fashion wants fame, Meiwei wants profit. Pay 8 million yuan, or no deal!"
"That's impossible. My client would never agree to that!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong wanted eight million, which was three million more than the previous five million, Luo Bin flatly refused:
"Even if we file a lawsuit, the court won't award so much, so why should we settle with you?"
"Because Ren Xiaonian's company is planning a merger worth several billion yuan. Otherwise, according to Ren Xiaonian's usual tyranny, he would rather spend 10 million yuan on the lawsuit than pay the victim 5 million yuan in compensation!"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong actually knew about Ren Xiaonian's company's merger plan. Luo Bin smiled and said:
"Mr. Yuan, let me explain to you what extortion is. Choosing the right time to file a malicious lawsuit during a company merger or financing, and using threats to force the company to hand over property, meets the characteristics of extortion. So, don't be too clever!"
"So what? You can also ask Ren Xiaonian to sue me?"
Yuan Xudong was not afraid of offending Ren Xiaonian, because he was also a billionaire. If Yuan Xudong called Ren Xiaonian personally, he believed that the other party would definitely choose to compensate Wu Meiwei 8 million yuan to settle the matter. If it were Yuan Xudong, he would do the same. At this time, Yuan Xudong looked at Luo Bin and continued:
"Lawyer Luo, I want to remind you that our lawsuit was filed before Ren Xiaonian's Ren's Fashion decided to acquire it, so it is a normal lawsuit!"
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong, Luo Bin asked curiously:
"Mr. Yuan, how did you know that Ren Xiaonian's Ren's Fashion had a merger and acquisition plan?"
"I can't tell you this. I can only say that this is a secret!"
“I love the word secret!”
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Luo Bin smiled and said:
"How about this, we agree to compensate Ms. Wu 8 million yuan, but you must withdraw the lawsuit and promise not to sue for the same reason again, how about that?"
