Qin Suisui hated these endlessly delayed lawsuits. They could have ended quickly, but because some people tried to take advantage of loopholes, the lawsuits were dragged on and on.
In her three years of practice, the longest case she handled never lasted more than six months.
In the lawsuit against Wenhui Pharmaceutical, it has been almost four months since she signed the contract with Zhang Lan.
She was extremely disgusted by Mu Lanchao's effeminate way of doing things, especially since the other party was trying to use Duncan's background. Just for this point alone, she wanted to make Mu Lanchao suffer a crushing defeat.
Qin Suisui was confident of winning the case in court; the only problem now was how to get the other party to stop harassing her.
Huo Zhongyuan looked at Sui Sui, his eyes shining brightly as she pondered, her fair face radiant with starlight.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly, reaching out to pinch her chin and turn her towards him.
"Sui Sui, it's after get off work now, can you spare some time for me?"
Qin Suisui's eyes widened as she looked down at his hand that was pinching her chin.
Because her lips were being pinched and pursed, she mumbled indistinctly, "Let go!"
Huo Zhongyuan's gaze was involuntarily drawn to her rosy lips. He leaned down and gently sucked on them, his lips and tongue penetrating deep into her mouth.
He only relented and pulled away after Qin Suisui pushed him away, then embraced her.
"Huo Zhongyuan!"
Qin Suisui whispered and reached out to pinch his side, trying to make him feel pain from every angle, but the muscles under her fingers were as hard as stone.
In the end, she gave up and glared at him angrily.
"The thoughts I finally managed to sort out have vanished again!"
"Then what should we do?"
Huo Zhongyuan smiled and apologized in a low voice, "How about I help you chase after Mu Lanchao's stocks?"
"Do you really need to get involved in this kind of economic dispute?"
Qin Suisui snorted: "Mu Lanchao doesn't have that kind of face!"
Huo Zhongyuan couldn't help but chuckle; it seemed that Mu Lanchao had somehow angered his Sui Sui.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him from the side and make sure he doesn't escape easily, alright?"
"Yes, that works!"
Qin Suisui nodded thoughtfully. If Mu Lanchao could be seriously injured in the end, it would definitely be a good thing!
………………
Time flies.
Soon it was time for Wenhui Pharmaceutical's court hearing.
Qin Suisui brought Cheng Yifei and Yue Hongxin to the Second Court of Minjiang Court this time.
They met Zhang Lan outside the courthouse.
"How's Qin Lu?"
Zhang Lan came over with her assistant, Huang, and she seemed a little nervous.
Over the years, she weighed the pros and cons for the sake of company stock, but ultimately had to resort to litigation.
"Lawyer Qin, General Manager Zhang!"
Even from a distance, you could hear Mu Lanchao's cheerful voice.
Zhang Bin stood awkwardly beside Mu Lanchao, his gaze wandering and never looking at Zhang Lan.
The two were followed closely by their defense lawyers.
"Zhang Bin, we've finally met!"
Zhang Lan ignored Mu Lanchao and looked mockingly at Zhang Bin, who stood awkwardly behind Mu Lanchao.
She hadn't seen Mu Lanchao for over two years since she secretly sold the shares to him.
In the first year, she tried to confront Zhang Bin at Chun Shen Cultural Tourism Zone and at his home, but he avoided her with various excuses.
"I thought you'd never dare to show your face in front of me again!"
Zhang Bin's face turned bright red, but he remained silent, standing behind Mu Lanchao with his head down.
"Mr. Zhang, let's go inside first!"
The second courtroom had already opened, and Qin Suisui called out to Zhang Lan, who still wanted to continue her attack.
"Hmph! Trash!"
Zhang Lan spat and followed Qin Suisui into the second courtroom.
"Let's go in, Mr. Zhang Bin!"
Mu Lanchao's chubby face grinned as he looked at the backs of the people in front of him, a mocking expression on his face.
"Let's go!" He glanced at Zhang Bin and walked inside first.
Suddenly he stopped in his tracks, turned his back and said, "Zhang Bin, remember what you should and shouldn't say!"
Zhang Bin remained silent with his head down, following closely behind him into the second courtroom.
The plaintiff and the defendant each found their seats and sat down.
Both of them lowered their heads and whispered to each other, making final preparations.
The presiding judge glanced at the audience and tapped his gavel.
"Quiet!"
The sounds from below the courtroom abruptly ceased.
The court clerk flipped through the documents: "Have the plaintiff, the defendant, their respective lawyers, and the witnesses all appeared in court?"
She looked towards the plaintiff's seat: "Plaintiffs!"
Yue Hongxin stood up: "Presiding Judge, Court Clerk, all the plaintiffs are present."
"Defendant!"
Mu Lanchao's defense lawyer stood up and replied, "Our entire team is present!"
For the Second Court, economic dispute cases are heard almost every day.
The presiding judge, already familiar with the process, glanced at the audience and announced the start of the trial.
After the court session began, both sides engaged in debate and started presenting evidence in their favor.
For Qin Suisui, this type of case is quite typical.
She stood up and looked towards the courtroom.
"Your Honor, we urge that Chun Shen Cultural Tourism violated transaction principles and the premise that Ms. Zhang Lan of Wenhui Pharmaceutical had the right of first refusal by privately selling 27% of Wenhui Pharmaceutical's shares to Mu Lanchao. We request that this equity transfer agreement be deemed invalid!"
"He Jiang, the former chairman of Wenhui Pharmaceutical, signed a framework agreement with Chunshen Cultural Tourism before his death regarding the company's increased investment and equity adjustment. The agreement stipulates that..."
"However, Mr. Zhang Bin, the general manager of Chun Shen Cultural Tourism, violated the spirit of the contract. Not only did he break the agreement, but he also disregarded our rights and sold 27% of the shares to Mu Lanchao, a shareholder of Wenhui Pharmaceutical, without authorization, causing us to suffer significant losses during our operation..."
"First, according to my country's Company Law, if the agreement contains a preemptive right of a designated shareholder, the legal rights granted to that shareholder by the Company Law must be guaranteed from the effective date of the agreement.
"Zhang Bin of Chun Shen Cultural Tourism violated the spirit of the contract by selling our 27% equity stake to another shareholder of Wenhui Pharmaceutical, Mu Lanchao, without notifying us..."
Mu Lanchao's lawyer is Wang Hui from Beijiang Law Firm. Originally, he was unwilling to take on this lawsuit.
These kinds of opportunistic economic cases are highly likely to result in defeat when taken on, which is completely unacceptable to lawyers like them who value the success rate.
However, the lawyer's fees offered by the other party were too tempting, and their only request was to delay indefinitely without seeking a victory.
It's not a loss to be defeated by the Qin Law Firm of Rodton Law Firm, especially since such a defeat is obvious.
He still couldn't resist or refuse such lawsuits where he could get money with his eyes closed.
He roused himself and began researching and preparing for his defense, just in case he won.
Following his own line of reasoning, he argued: "Before our transaction with Chun Shen Cultural Tourism, we confirmed that we notified Mr. He Jiang and Ms. Zhang Lan through various means. Unfortunately, after receiving the notice of listing, they did not exercise their rights at the property exchange. We believe that they have waived their right of first refusal, so their claim is untenable."
