Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Jose stuck to his principles and didn't say a word at this time and place. He just smiled and said hello, observing basic courtesy.

Five minutes later, the court officially opened and both parties took their seats. The judge struck the gavel, reminding everyone, including the judge himself, that the solemn and dignified trial had begun.

The confrontation between Han Tao and Liao Jiamin's plaintiff officially began. After some opening remarks, Mai Fei, who accompanied Liao Jiamin to court, took the lead in stating:

"Your Honor, the defendant failed to inform us of the treatments to the vehicle's paint and curtains before handing it over. Therefore, what the defendant sold was a vehicle with major repair problems."

Jose and Han Tao exchanged a glance and said directly, "Objection. The plaintiff's claim that waxing and polishing the car's paint and replacing the curtains constitute major repairs is clearly inconsistent with the public's understanding of major repairs."

"I object!"

After receiving the judge's permission, Liao Jiamin directly refuted: "Your Honor, the defendant has not provided evidence to prove that he informed the owner of the vehicle's repair status. Therefore, it can be determined that he intentionally concealed the vehicle's condition and violated the consumer's right to know. Therefore, it constitutes fraud."

Liao Jiamin's words were very aggressive, which made He Xingyun and Jose's apprentices very nervous, but Han Tao and Jose were very calm.

Han Tao also took over the voice at this time and said: "Judge, the dealer has provided all reasonable procedures, including a full set of formal import procedures for the vehicle, the vehicle has not been used by others, it fully complies with the contract, and there is no fraud. "

Han Tao flipped through the documents in front of him and continued, "Moreover, when the car owner signed the contract with the dealer, the vehicle had not yet arrived at the dealership, so the dealer was not aware of the vehicle's defects. Before delivering the vehicle, the dealer addressed the existing defects and recorded them.

The recorded information is also uploaded to the network platform that the plaintiff can query through certain channels, which means that the dealer has no intention of concealing it.Therefore, fraud is not established. "

Liao Jiamin frowned and looked at Han Tao in surprise. She never expected that she was caught off guard. It turned out that Han Tao's focus was on whether there was fraud, rather than compensation.

However, the presiding judge did not give her time to react. As Han Tao finished speaking, the presiding judge's gavel fell heavily and announced the final result.

"The first and second instance judgments have been overturned, and the defendant does not need to pay 1650 million yuan in compensation. However, based on the infringement of consumers' right to know, the defendant is required to pay the plaintiff 11 yuan in compensation, and the plaintiff must bear 31.1 yuan in legal fees."

The situation turned 180 degrees. The plaintiff car owner thought he could get a high amount of compensation, but the situation took a turn for the worse. He ended up paying 201,000 yuan in litigation fees. He was completely stunned.

"Beautiful, we won!"

Jose on the side was a little excited. Seeing Liao Jiamin staring at Han Tao, he was very happy. Although Han Tao was no longer Quan Jing's lawyer, Quan Jing was his mother's family, and this time they were cooperating.

Therefore, given the popularity of this incident, both his personal reputation and Quan Jing's reputation have been enhanced, especially at the forefront of the seal issue.

Of course, the person who benefited the most was Han Tao. In addition to his reputation, Han Tao also received more than 10 million yuan in legal fees.

………………

Ten minutes later, everyone left the courtroom. Liao Jiamin looked at Han Tao without any disgust. Instead, she said with admiration:

"Han Lu, you won again. We can cooperate if there is a chance in the future."

Han Tao nodded. "Of course, we can definitely cooperate if there's a chance in the future. If Director Liao has clients in Shanghai who need legal assistance, I'll definitely help."

"Then I remember what you said. How about coming to my place for a cup of tea today?"

"Thank you, Director Liao. I will definitely go next time. I have a case to deal with, so I have to go and be busy. I'm sorry for your kindness."

"It's okay. There are plenty of opportunities. If there's a case, just go for it. If you need help, just let me know!"

After saying that, Liao Jiamin took his apprentice back to his car, and while telling him about today's court experience, he rushed back to the law firm. After all, as the director of Long Ke, Liao Jiamin had a lot of things to worry about.

Han Tao was a little confused about Liao Jiamin's reaction, but he had nothing to worry about. He was not sealed, and he had no love-hate relationship with Liao Jiamin, so she would not plot against him.

In fact, there are many lawyers in the industry, but there are only so many top ones and so many well-known law firms, so it is not uncommon for them to cooperate with each other.

Just like this time, he cooperated with Quan Jing and Jose. Moreover, Jose also played a big role in this lawsuit.

He had just finished an interview and saw Han Tao hadn't left. He hurried over with a smile and said, "Lawyer Han, winning such a big case, shouldn't we celebrate?"

Hearing this, Han Tao waved his hand and said, "Not today. I still have to go to Xinhuamen. Let's wait a few days, He Lu. Before I return to the Magic City, I must arrange time to get together."

"All right!"

Hearing Han Tao's words, Jose thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I know you have a lot on your plate, so let's talk before you return to the Magic City. I'm going back to the law firm first. Bye!"

"Bye He Lu, drive carefully on the road!"

"Thank you Han Lu, I understand."

After Jose left, Han Tao got into Li Na's car and said, "Li Na, please contact Lan Hong for me, and ask her to settle the legal fees as soon as possible."

"Oh well!"

Lina was a little absent-minded today, but she still maintained a smile as she continued, "I forgot to congratulate you. You won again, and it was in Kyoto, so it counts as handling a case in a different place."

"That's nothing. Even if I hadn't taken the case, Lawyer Luo and Lawyer He would have won it. So I just took advantage of the situation. Actually, I have Lawyer Luo to thank for that."

"What are you thanking me for? You've helped Luo Bin. Lan Hong is a hurdle for him. In fact, it's you who helped him."

"I'm not helping him, it's just that the case is suitable, and no one can help him with this kind of thing."

Without waiting for Li Na's response, Han Tao continued, "What's wrong with you today? Are you leaving and can't bear to leave Luo Lu?"

Hearing this, Li Na asked, "Han Tao, what do you mean?"

"Literally, I noticed that you haven't been in a good mental state these past two days, especially today."

After hearing Han Tao's words, Li Na was speechless and could only suppress her frustration and said, "It's okay. I've been doing handover work at the law firm these past few days and I'm probably too tired."

Seeing that she was worried, but Lina didn't want to talk about it, Han Tao didn't ask, but comforted her:

"That's great. If you need anything, please don't hesitate. I'll stay at the Park Hyatt!"

"Well, if I need your help, I won't hesitate. I'm really fine, but I'm a little emotional. After all, I've been at this position for over a decade, and it's really sad to leave so suddenly. Let's stop talking and leave!"

After that, Lina stopped talking and drove in silence all the way to the Park Hyatt Hotel. He Xingyun was reading some information on the side, and Han Tao also fell into deep thought, trying to think about what happened at this time in the original plot that made Lina so distracted.

………………

Chapter 540

Time flew by, and in a flash, three days had passed. After receiving a phone call, Lina hurriedly walked towards Han Tao who was lying on the sofa and said:

"Don't look at the information yet. I just got the news that Lan Hong's husband Sun Haohan has passed away!"

Hearing this, Han Tao put away the information, picked up his bag, and walked out. As he walked, he said to Lina:

"Call Jose and ask him to wait at Lan Hong's house, but tell him not to let Luo Bin know about this for now. At least he can't show up today."

Han Tao knew it best. After Lan Hong's husband Sun Haohan died, Luo Bin went to visit her as soon as he received the news. Lan Hong was already sad, but when she saw Luo Bin coming, she rushed up and hugged Luo Bin in front of everyone in the room.

Han Tao was puzzled by this behavior. Whether she was simply seeking spiritual support and comfort or for other reasons, it was inappropriate. After all, her late husband Sun Haohan's body was still warm, so she was just trying to make trouble for herself.

"I see. You're afraid that once Lan Hong sees Luo Bin act drastically, Sun Chaoyue will be in a weak position and public opinion will be one-sided."

Lina has a high EQ and is very sensitive to public opinion. She nodded in response and followed Han Tao to the elevator.

"I also found some information. According to what I heard, Sun Haohan transferred all his shares to Sun Chaoyue a few days ago."

"You're well-informed and helpful to our plan. You're truly Lina!"

Han Tao smiled slightly. Lina was definitely the most considerate secretary. She was also Quan Jing's ace administrative secretary. She had been with Luo Bin for so many years and had excellent connections in Kyoto. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten the news so quickly.

Soon, the two of them brought He Xingyun to Lan Hong's house. At this time, many people had come to her house, including relatives and friends, as well as people from the company. Jose had also arrived and was talking to Lan Lan.

When Lan Hong saw Han Tao, her heart was filled with emotion. She had never expected that in just a few days, everything that had happened had proven Han Tao's suspicions to be correct. So she quickly stood up and said,

"Thank you, Lawyer Han, for arriving as soon as possible."

"Condolences!"

Han Tao bowed slightly, said something politely, and then continued in a low voice: "I can't stay for too long. Can we find a quiet place to talk for a few words?"

"Of course, you're my lawyer, and I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about."

Lan Hong nodded, took Han Tao to the balcony, and closed the glass door that had a good sound effect. There were people in the room, so it was indeed inconvenient to talk.

After the two sat down, Han Tao took out a printed contract and said, "Take a look at this agency agreement first. If there is no problem, please sign it so that I can proceed to the next task."

Because the previous lawyer's fees had not been paid, Lan Hong understood Han Tao's approach. It was a good idea to be a villain first and a gentleman later. However, after reading the contract, she was a little surprised.

"Han Lu, isn't this ratio too high?"

Han Tao responded calmly: "Compared to the assets I can help you get, do you think 15% is high?

The most worrying thing about this case is that it can't be resolved quickly. Even if someone else could win, it probably wouldn't take a year or two. You're well aware of the risks involved."

"So you mean you can guarantee that we can win the lawsuit in a short time?"

Lan Hong asked back. In fact, she had already made up her mind. Under normal circumstances, she would never agree to this ratio. After all, the inheritance was not a small amount. Even if she could get a quarter of it, it would still be nearly 10 billion. This was simply taking advantage of the situation.

"Since I've proposed this percentage, I have a certain degree of confidence. And judging from our previous cooperation, the risk is not small. After all, your credibility is really worrying."

Lan Hong was speechless after hearing what Han Tao said. It was she who signed the agreement for the car case at that time and she won the lawsuit in the end. She and Sun Chaoyue were both pushing the blame. Sixteen million and five hundred thousand was not a small number and it was indeed a breach of trust.

Moreover, Lan Hong didn't dare to trust others. Han Tao was very foresighted, so Lan Hong guessed that he had made plans a long time ago, including the last time he contacted her. She was afraid that if she didn't sign, she pushed Han Tao to Sun Chaoyue.

Therefore, Lan Hong thought again and again, gritted her teeth and signed the agreement, pressed her fingerprints, and then said with a desperate move:

"Then I'll leave this matter to Lawyer Han. If I win this lawsuit, I will pay it together with the previous 16.5 million."

Hearing this, Han Tao nodded and said, "No problem, just leave the rest to me, and I promise that you will be glad for your choice today."

"Hopefully!"

Since the agreement had been signed, Han Tao was considered one of their own, so Lan Hong asked without hesitation: "Han Lu, what else do I need to do to cooperate with you?"

"No, don't worry about anything now. Your most important thing next is to take good care of your daughter. Of course, although you are very sad, you can't ignore Mr. Sun's funeral. You are his legal wife and have this obligation and right.

As for the lawsuit, I'll handle it. If you want to cut the Gordian knot quickly, you absolutely can't give them time to prepare. If Sun Chaoyue finds you first and produces a will or something, even if it means you have no inheritance, don't act rashly, and don't start a dispute. Call me immediately."

After hearing Han Tao's words, Lan Hong nodded in understanding. Han Tao wanted her to continue with her previous attitude and not give anyone a handle against her.

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Han Tao gave her a few more instructions and then stood up to say goodbye. In the current occasion and situation, even if the two of them were in a lawyer-client relationship, it would not be convenient for them to be alone for too long.

When Jose saw Han Tao go out, he said a few words to Lan Lan and followed him. He wanted to know what evidence Han Tao had obtained in the past few days.

He had also been preparing for many days. Now that Sun Haohan had passed away, their plan should begin.

Unexpectedly, not long after they left, Han Tao received a call from Lan Hong. It turned out that the company's legal manager went to her home and took out a will, which stated that she would have no inheritance, including the house she currently lived in.

After listening, Han Tao responded calmly: "I have already thought of this result, and I also found out that Sun Haohan transferred all his shares to Sun Chaoyue at a very low price a few days before his death, so you don't have any assets to inherit.

But don't worry, this is to be expected. From now on, don't have any contact with them. Didn't they say the house doesn't belong to you? Then move out and find a hotel nearby."

Lan Hong had placed all her bets on Han Tao, so she said without hesitation, "I understand. I'll have them talk to you directly. I'll move out with my daughter this afternoon. We won't be staying in a hotel anymore. We'll just find a clean and sanitary guesthouse."

"Very good. If you have any questions, just call me. I'll send Jose over. One is to accompany you and Lan Lan to deal with some problems, and the other is to help you block public opinion."

Han Tao gave a few instructions before hanging up the phone. He then turned to Jose and said, "Lawyer He, thank you for your trouble. Until I've finalized my arrangements, I'm telling Lan Hong not to meet with anyone from Sun Chaoyue, including their lawyers."

Jose nodded and said, "No problem. I'll get off in front and wait for your call anytime."

"it is good!"

Han Tao told He Xingyun to stop the car. After Jose got out and got into a taxi, he took out a document from his bag and handed it to Lina in the passenger seat.

"I'll get off at the law firm in a moment. You and Lucky should go file a case now and apply for property preservation. You should also file an application for an appraisal of the will."

Lina nodded. When He Xingyun heard Han Tao's arrangement, she couldn't help but get excited while driving. Their trip was delayed for so many days just for this case.

To this end, they have made sufficient preparations. Being able to participate in such a big case is a great experience for her.

Chapter 541

At the same time, Quan Jing was also in turmoil. A few days ago, because Luo Bin was promoted to director and had established his foothold, the stigma of Feng Yin was also washed away, so Luo Bin began to rectify the internal affairs.

The first person to start the fire was Gu Jie. After the two of them had a heated argument, although Sister Gu argued a lot, the facts were in front of her and she could not deny it after all.

However, Gu Jie, who was furious, resigned directly, packed up her things and left, preparing to start a new business, and even threatened to take her clients away.

Because she was a senior partner in the law firm and had been there for decades, Feng Yin did not blame her and even wanted to persuade her to stay, but it was of no use. Gu Jie was determined to leave, so Feng Yin and Luo Bin had no choice but to let her go.

After she left, Luo Bin and Feng Yin began to contact Gu Jie's clients. Feng Yin would never allow the clients to be taken away. They were all Quan Jing's clients. She could only take away the lawyers who were willing to go with her, not the clients.

So Luo Bin didn't have time to pay attention to Lan Hong these days, but things went against his wishes. Han Tao didn't want Luo Bin to know, but Luo Bin's assistant Dai Xi let him know.

It turned out that Dai Xi's college classmate Meng Xiaoyu suddenly came to Dai Xi, so Dai Xi learned that Gu Jie and another well-known lawyer in the industry, Wang Li, had set up a new law firm together, and planned to snatch Luo Bin's client Guangrui. She also learned that they took over Sun Chaoyue's case and that Lan Hong's husband had passed away.

This news made Dai Xi realize the seriousness of the matter. After separating from her classmates, she quickly contacted Luo Bin and told him the matter in person.

Because she met her old classmates, Dai Xi was a little worried that her lack of academic qualifications would be exposed. During this period, she also told Luo Bin her story and experience.

Luo Bin believes that academic qualifications are not important. Even without academic qualifications, one can continue to take exams and there is no need to be afraid of this. If she has any concerns, they can solve them together.

In fact, Dai Xi was just worried that she would no longer be able to work with Luo Bin because of this incident. She had benefited a lot from the time she spent with him and felt a sense of accomplishment. She didn't want to give up this job she loved.

However, Luo Bin couldn't take care of Dai Xi's affairs for the time being, because he had to talk to his good friend Guang Rui and also go see Lan Hong.

However, before he could walk out of the office, he was stopped by Feng Yin. Upon asking, he found out that Feng Yin had just received a call from He Sai and learned the latest developments of the Lan Hong case.
