Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Chapter 546

In Kyoto, Quanjing Law Firm, new senior partner Jose's office.

After Lan Hong, Li Na, and the others sat down, Han Tao spoke up, "Lan Hong, don't go looking for Luo Bin before the press conference is over, and don't bring up your feud with Luo Bin and Luo Qi too much. We have to stay calm in this situation. If you go, you'll fall into their trap."

"I understand. Just follow your instructions. I'll listen to you in everything I say later."

Lan Hong had been chatting with Jose for quite some time and knew the interests involved. Moreover, she was a lawyer herself, so after calming down, she could definitely figure out what to do to benefit herself. Although she was very angry, she had regained her rationality after Han Tao's reminder.

This was also why she was glad that she had asked Han Tao to be her attorney, because there was nothing Han Tao could do that she could do herself.

Seeing that no one objected and Jose did not raise any other dissenting opinions, Han Tao took out a printed manuscript and handed it to Lan Hong, saying:

"This is the speech. You have to read it. There are two important points. The first is to grasp the moral high ground, and to be honest, during Sun Haohan's illness, you were really worried about your husband and insisted on bringing your daughter to visit every day. He was stopped by Sun Chaofei every time.

It can even be said that they passively isolated you and Sun Haohan. He Lu has already compiled the videos, including the interviews with doctors and nurses. You will post them on your Weibo and other social media accounts later."

Lan Hong looked at what Han Tao handed her, highlighted the key points to help her remember them better, and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I know what to say, but what about the second point?"

"Secondly, you can directly expose the relationship between Caifan Qiqi, also known as Luo Qi, and Sun Chaoyue's attorney Wang Li. They are in a relationship, so her words are misleading.

At the same time, He Lu also needs to be prepared. As far as I know, your cousin Rong Rong's money was given to Luo Qi by her current boyfriend, Ji Yu, who is also Luo Bin's boyfriend, to buy a house for Luo Qi and Wang Li to marry.

As soon as these words came out, Jose opened his mouth unconsciously in surprise, so wide that he could stuff a duck egg into it. It took him a long time to react, and he was even more angry about this behavior. If Han Tao hadn't been watching, he would have called on the spot.

Seeing this kind of thing, Han Tao knew immediately. Lan Hong knew that he had a great chance of winning, so he couldn't help sighing:

"Han Lu, I apologize for my hesitation before. Now I am very glad that I chose you and He Lu as my attorneys!"

"That's nothing. One should do their job, but public opinion and evidence should not be confused. Our main battlefield is still the court!"

Saying that, Han Tao smiled slightly, then took out a recording pen and handed it to Jose, and continued:

"Lawyer He, besides what you have in your hand, I also have a recording here that could be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

Hearing this, Jose took the recording pen and asked curiously, "Han Lu, is this the new evidence you got?"

"No, I got it before. Remember when I went to ask Sun Chaoyue for the money? That was when I was negotiating the three-for-one refund for the car case with him.

At that time, he personally admitted that Sun Haohan had already lost consciousness, so the subsequent equity changes were not legal and compliant.

In this way, we can use this as a breakthrough point to question Sun Chaoyue's private transfer of equity and request relevant departments to intervene in the investigation."

Hearing this recording, Jose became more confident and said in surprise, "Great! With this, everything is basically a sure thing."

This was recorded when Han Tao went to find Sun Chaoyue. The tennis court is a public place, and the recording has not been edited. It is a recording from a legal source and can be used as evidence without the other party's consent.

Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, Han Tao continued to instruct, "If my estimate is correct, Sun Chaoyue, Wang Li, and Gu Jie will definitely take further measures. We have worked with Gu Jie for many years and are very familiar with her methods.

What's more, we have applied for property preservation. Sun Chaoyue can no longer continue to operate, and the company is in a stagnant state. Sun Chaoyue cares about the company so much, he definitely can't afford to waste time.

Of course, if you delay for too long, you will suffer a significant loss. After all, our goal is to allow you to obtain your share of the assets, not to cause both parties to suffer losses, so you must be prepared to make concessions."

"No problem, I believe you, Han Lu, and I'm not a greedy person. My bottom line is 30%, and you can decide the rest."

Lan Hong nodded and expressed her opinion. Now she admired Han Tao's foresight. After all, Han Tao started planning before anything happened. It can be said that every step of Sun Chaoyue was within Han Tao's calculations.

.....................

Unknowingly, an hour has passed, Joseyo's media reporters also arrived at the law firm, and then Lan Hong came forward to respond. The interview process went very smoothly. After all, Lan Hong is also a professional, eloquent.

After sending the reporters away, Luo Bin suddenly came to Jose's office. He had just returned from Luo Qi's place and brought some people with him.

Therefore, after he opened the door and saw everyone, he hesitated and said: "Han Lu, Gu Jie and Wang Li are here, and Sun Chaoyue is also here. They want to meet you and Lan Hong. Let's go to the conference room to talk." !"

Hearing this, Han Tao signaled Li Na and He Xingyun to hold Lan Hong who was standing up. He had already guessed that the reason why Gu Jie and others did this was to take advantage of the change in public opinion to negotiate terms.

However, Han Tao is not Luo Bin. He would not agree to split it among four people, so he responded directly: "He Lu and I will go to meet them. Lan Hong cannot meet with them for the time being."

"I don't want to see them either. Anyway, I've already told Han Lu and He Lu about my demands. They should just take full responsibility."

Lan Hong glanced at Luo Bin and nodded in agreement with Han Tao's arrangement. If she went now, she couldn't guarantee that she would not act impulsively and fall into the other party's trap.

Seeing this, Han Tao left Lina behind and took He Xingyun and Jose Luo Bin to the meeting room. At this time, Gu Jie, Wang Li, and Sun Chaoyue were waiting calmly.

After a few pleasantries, they all took their seats. Wang Li was a little disappointed when Lan Hong didn't show up, but he quickly adjusted himself and took out an agreement and said straight to the point:

"Lawyer Han, since Ms. Lan Hong isn't here, please have you and Lawyer He take a look at this settlement agreement. As long as you persuade Ms. Lan Hong to sign it, you can get a quarter of Mr. Sun Haohan's estate, including the company's shares."

Han Tao and Jose exchanged a glance, and the latter replied, understanding, "Impossible! This agreement is unreasonable. Why do you think I would accept your terms?"

Gu Jie didn't wait for Wang Li to speak before she spoke directly: "This is the best choice for you. You can't be too greedy. Lan Hong and Mr. Sun Haohan are not in harmony, so it is impossible to leave the assets to Lan Hong. After all, they are not together during the New Year.

I don't think you understand why Mr. Sun Haohan doesn't take Ms. Lan Hong home every Spring Festival. Instead, he celebrates the New Year with his son and our client, Mr. Sun Chaoyue, his younger brother. What does this mean?

Han Tao smiled slightly and asked, "So what? What does what you just said, Gu Lu, really mean?"

Gu Jie looked at Han Tao, who was calm and composed, and continued, "Mr. Sun Haohan was unwilling to spend such an important holiday as the New Year with Ms. Lan Hong. This shows that there is no love between them. Therefore, Mr. Sun Haohan would never give away the family fortune that he, his brother, and his ex-wife worked so hard to build to someone he doesn't love."

Seeing that they really used this reason as a breakthrough, Han Tao glanced at Gu Jie and asked:

"It seems that Lawyer Gu's personality hasn't changed. I don't understand. What does this mean? Who Sun Haohan spends the New Year with, or where he spends it, has nothing to do with inheritance.

As lawyers, we're talking about evidence. Are you going to tell the judge in court that the late Mr. Sun Haohan didn't actually love Lan Hong? Don't you think using the excuse of spending the New Year with someone is ridiculous?"

Hearing this, Wang Li took over and retorted, "Lawyer Han is wrong. For a Chinese person, the Chinese New Year is not the same as other festivals. This represents the true wishes of the testator."

"I think Lawyer Wang may have forgotten that the will in your hands can no longer be used as evidence and cannot appear in court.

Besides, you all know very well how this will came about, and we have evidence proving that your testator no longer had the capacity for civil conduct when he created the will."

Seeing that Han Tao didn't accept the challenge and that they were indeed at a disadvantage regarding the will, Gu Jie glanced at Wang Li, who then suggested:

"Lawyer Han, I don't think lawyers can represent the client's wishes. I suggest that Ms. Lan Hong come out and express her wishes. I know she works at Quan Jing Law Firm."

"That's not necessary, because Ms. Lan Hong has already handed this matter over to me and Attorney Jose, so we can just reach an agreement between us."

Han Tao smiled slightly and directly rejected their proposal to meet Lan Hong.

………………

Chapter 547

The next day, the sun was shining brightly. Lina printed out a document and handed it to Han Tao. Then she adjusted the interface of her phone and handed it to him. She said:

"Jose called me this morning and said that Haohan Chaoyue's legal department had communicated with him, but their boss was not aware of this matter, so they had to contact Sun Chaoyue.

So I checked with a friend and found out that Sun Chaoyue isn't going to the company this morning, and he plays tennis every week on this day. How about you go over there?"

"Alright, I just happen to be planning to contact them ahead of time. Some things are safer to plan ahead of time, so let's go meet him!"

Han Tao nodded in agreement to the proposal and decided to meet with Sun Chaoyue in advance.

Seeing that the two people reached a consensus, He Xingyun, who was organizing documents on the sofa, got up and followed. She drove Lina's car and took Han Tao and the others to the tennis court where Sun Haohan was.

After getting off the car and entering the tennis hall, Han Tao and Lina changed their clothes and went on the court. Only then did Han Tao realize that Lina played quite well.

After the two played for a while, Han Tao found an opportunity to hit the ball to Sun Chaoyue, then walked over and said:

"I hit it off target, sorry!"

Han Tao raised his hand to signal the other party while bending down to pick up the ball. Lina followed him and said in surprise:

"Hey, hello, are you Mr. Sun Chaoyue?"

"Hello, do we know each other?"

Seeing a handsome man and beautiful woman coming over and saying their names, Sun Chaoyue thought they were just meeting once in a salon or cocktail party, so he asked.

Lina shook her head and pointed at Han Tao and said, "Hello, Mr. Sun, we didn't know each other before, but your company has cooperated with our boss before."

Hearing this, Sun Chaoyue asked curiously, "We've worked together before, so how come we don't know each other?"

Han Tao calmly pressed the recorder in his pocket, then took over the conversation and guided Sun Chaoyue's words:

"Mr. Sun, let's formally introduce ourselves. I'm from Shanghai and am the chief attorney at Mingtang Law Firm. I've handled cases for your company before, so we have worked together. However, Mr. Sun and I have never met, so you don't recognize us."

Hearing him mention Mingtang instead of Quan Jing, Sun Chaoyue didn't react for a moment, but he smiled politely and said:

"I'm so sorry, maybe the Shanghai branch has a cooperation with you.

However, as the president, I do keep an eye on the bigger cases. Our company has had quite a few cases in recent years. Could you please tell me about the one you took on?"

Han Tao smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. This time we're collaborating with your Kyoto headquarters. It's the 16.5 million yuan refund-three-for-one car case. I wonder if Mr. Sun has any recollection of it?"

"Of course I have an impression!"

Sun Chaoyue's identity was unknown, so he couldn't lie with his eyes wide open, so he nodded and said, "Speaking of this case, I have to thank you very much. I also know who you are, Lawyer Han Tao, right?"

Hearing this, Han Tao politely shook hands with him and nodded, "It's me, but Mr. Sun, don't rush to thank me yet. Your company hasn't paid the 16.5 million lawyer's fees yet.

Since Mr. Sun knows about this, what do you think, should we ask your company's finance department to transfer the money to the law firm?

Of course, this case is jointly represented by me and Attorney Jose from Quanjing Law Firm. To avoid causing trouble for your company, you can just transfer the money directly to the Quanjing Law Firm account."

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Han, I really can't help you with this. The contract was signed between you and the chairman's wife. You should ask her for it."

Sun Chaoyue is a very capable person. After hearing Han Tao's words, he knew that today was not a chance encounter, and he also understood that the other party was here to collect debts, so he immediately pushed it off.

Han Tao looked at him meaningfully, smiled slightly and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Sun? Can't the chairman's wife represent the Haohan Chaoyue Group?"

Sun Chaoyue said without hesitation: "Of course, the chairman is in a coma now, so the chairman's wife cannot be entrusted. Moreover, she is not a shareholder of the company, so of course she cannot represent Haohan Chaoyue."

"Mr. Sun, what you said is biased. As far as I know, Ms. Lan Hong is still the legal director of Haohan Chaoyue Group. She is also the chairman's wife, so some of her actions can represent your company.

The contract she signed with our law firm is also valid. After all, legal affairs professionals are those who are responsible for handling legal affairs within legal and unincorporated organizations such as enterprises, institutions, and government departments. The contracts they sign on behalf of the company are legally binding.

Sun Chaoyue spread his hands and said, "That requires the chairman's approval. Otherwise, she can only represent herself. My brother is so sick that he doesn't even know who he is. Therefore, all of Lan Hong's actions are personal."

"Excuse me, Mr. Sun, for interrupting you. In addition to Ms. Lan Hong, your chairman also signed and authorized this contract."

"It seems that Lawyer Han was deceived. The chairman's wife asked him to sign this contract when he was seriously ill, so it has no legal effect. If you have any questions, please go to her!"

"So, your company, that is, the chairman of the Haohan Chaoyue Group, had already lost consciousness when we took over the case, so your company refused to pay, right?"

"That's right, that's it. So please do as you please. Even as the CEO, I can't help you!"

Hearing Sun Chaoyue nod, Han Tao did not continue to argue, because he had already got what he wanted, so he nodded:

"Okay, it seems I still need to find Ms. Lan Hong to understand the situation, so I won't bother Mr. Sun anymore."

After saying that, Han Tao left with Lina without looking back. Sun Chaoyue wanted to put all the blame on her husband, which happened to be what Han Tao wanted, and he got strong evidence naturally.

When the two returned to the car, Lina asked curiously, "Why don't I understand what you mean? Are we really leaving? Shouldn't we fight for it?"

"You'll understand later!"

Han Tao kept it a secret for a moment, then continued, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, you'll understand without me having to tell you. The most important thing now is that you help me make an appointment with Lan Hong. I'll go meet her."

"Forget it. I've already made an appointment for you with Lan Hong. It's at three o'clock this afternoon. Now go back to the law firm. I need to go through the final resignation procedures."

Lina rolled her eyes at Han Tao. Although she didn't see through him at first, she anticipated that this matter was not simple and Lan Hong, the person involved, could not get around it, so she had already made all the arrangements for Han Tao.

However, Lina's performance made He Xingyun, who was driving in front, admire her very much. No wonder Teacher Han came here in person. She is simply the ceiling of the secretary world. She is beautiful and charming, dignified and generous, and smart and considerate. She can think of everything in advance. In the old Beijing dialect she just learned, she is so thoughtful.

After a moment of silence in the back row, Han Tao looked at Lina and continued, "Don't forget to transfer money to your bestie to apply for a credit card, and then help me arrange for 36 private lessons."

Li Na looked at Han Tao in confusion and said, "Apply for a card? Aren't you going back to Shanghai in a few days? Why would you apply for a card? Isn't that a waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

Han Tao explained, "People take risks to help us, so we should return the favor. And since she's your friend, we should support her even more. After all, we obtained important information with her help."

Hearing this, Li Na knew that Han Tao was thinking about her, so she didn't refuse. However, she still asked in confusion, "Why didn't I notice? Did you get any important information?"

Han Tao smiled slightly and said, "Didn't Sun Chaoyue just say that Lan Hong's husband is seriously ill? I think he's in serious trouble."

"It seems so. He said his brother's has already..."

Before Lina finished speaking, she was filled with emotion. He was a big boss worth tens of billions, but he was hospitalized because of a case and was now on the verge of death. It was said that the disease would not affect your identity.

Chapter 548 Lin Youyou's Temptation

Xu Huanshan has been in a particularly good mood these two days, and his life has been very enjoyable, especially with the arrival of Lin Youyou last night. Her determination made him find the dignity and charm of a man.

In addition, Gu Jia went to the tea factory, and Xu Huanshan agreed to let her stay for a few days under Lin Youyou's tears.

Last night and this morning, the two of them had been eating, drinking and having fun. They really ate whatever they wanted and did whatever they wanted. It felt so comfortable without anyone controlling them.

Lin Youyou is indeed an expert at playing the green tea role. In order to win sympathy, she booked a hotel online before coming to Shanghai yesterday.

Sure enough, fearing that she would be wronged, Xu Huanshan planned to change her hotel to a high-end hotel today, the Hilton near Grand Hyatt.
