The defense attorney then argued: "The Company Law stipulates that the prerequisite for Ms. Zhang Lan, a shareholder of Wenlan Pharmaceutical, to exercise her right of first refusal is that the conditions are equal, including both procedural and substantive equality."
"In June and August of 2017, we notified Ms. Zhang Lan of the relevant information regarding the listing and sale of Wenlan Pharmaceutical through text messages, phone calls, and emails. However, Ms. Zhang Lan refused to participate in the transaction. We consider that she has waived her right of first refusal, otherwise it would violate the principle of equal procedure under the same conditions..."
Zhang Lan, sitting in the plaintiff's seat, was so angry that she tried to break free from Huang's restraints several times, stood up and angrily cursed the other party for their shamelessness.
Obstructed by Assistant Huang, she could only mutter curses under her breath.
"Mr. Zhang, calm down! Please trust me!"
Hearing the noise, Qin Suisui peeked at her, her eyes clear and calm, which gradually calmed Zhang Lan's emotions.
"Lawyer Qin, you must help me make sure Mu Lanchao and Zhang Bin lose the case completely, and ideally make them have no place to stand in Huating."
"Don't worry, I will!"
Qin Suisui gave the other party an affirmative look, then turned to look at the defendant's lawyer who was still presenting evidence.
Wang Hui became more and more confident as he spoke. According to the evidence they had, the transaction between Chun Shen Cultural Tourism and President Mu was completely legal and compliant. He was just influenced by Qin Suisui's recent victories in several lawsuits.
He became increasingly smug as he presented the evidence they had.
"Presiding Judge, Clerk, the plaintiff Zhang Lan's failure to exercise her rights is tantamount to waiving her right of first refusal. The equity transaction between Chun Shen Cultural Tourism and the defendant Mu Lanchao was fair, just, and legal."
"Furthermore, Mr. Mu Lanchao has already paid the transfer price for the sale of the equity to Chun Shen Tourism and completed the additional terms of the equity transfer. The Company Law clearly stipulates that the bona fide and legitimate rights of third parties should be protected by law. Therefore, we do not agree with the plaintiff Ms. Zhang Lan's claims."
Wang Hui glanced at Qin Suisui, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, writing furiously with her head down, and couldn't help but scoff inwardly. She only did her homework at the last minute before court; Qin Suisui was nothing special.
He looked towards the courtroom: "Your Honor, our defense is now temporarily adjourned!"
The presiding judge nodded to him to sit down and turned to look at the plaintiff's seat.
"Plaintiff, do you have anything to add?"
"We have reinforcements!"
Qin Suisui put down her pen and stood up to debate.
"Your Honor, the defendant's lawyer has been emphasizing legality and compliance in the defense. I took notes, and the defendant's lawyer mentioned these terms a total of twenty-seven times."
"As mentioned several times, the defendant's lawyer must have a correct understanding of fairness and justice."
She glanced at Wang Hui, who was looking up at her, then looked towards the judge's bench.
"Your Honor, I would like to ask Zhang Bin of Chun Shen Tourism a question!"
The presiding judge looked at the defendant's dock: "Please, Zhang Bin, answer the plaintiff's lawyer's reasonable questions."
Zhang Bin replied indifferently, "Yes!"
"In that case, let's start with fairness and justice in this lawsuit. Mr. Zhang Bin, the defendant, do you have any objections to the obviously unfair agreement you signed with Mr. He, the former chairman of Wenhui Pharmaceutical?"
"I don't understand you!"
Zhang Bin had a cold face and always maintained an attitude of keeping people at arm's length.
"Yeah?"
Qin Suisui chuckled softly and looked at Yue Hongxin.
"Assistant Yue, please hand over the evidence in the document bag to the presiding judge and the court clerk."
She waited until the presiding judge took the document bag and opened the documents before continuing her questions.
"Zhang Bin, why did He Jiang, the former chairman of Wenhui Pharmaceutical, later supplement you with such an unfair and unjust agreement, prematurely fulfilling his responsibilities before the agreement was finalized and transferring the 27% equity originally jointly owned by Chairman He and General Manager Zhang Lan to your name?"
"Given He Jiang's style of doing things, this completely contradicts his consistent principles. Why is that?"
Zhang Bin, whose expression had remained largely unchanged, visibly changed his complexion.
"I don't know, this was He Jiang's suggestion."
The presiding judge, who was reviewing the documents, frowned and looked up at Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin became increasingly flustered, and he turned to look at Mu Lanchao.
Mu Lanchao quickly looked at the lawyer.
"Law of the King!"
Wang Hui immediately stood up: "Your Honor, I object. The contract mentioned by the plaintiff's lawyer was signed with the plaintiff, Ms. Zhang Lan's, knowledge. The contract is legal and there is no dispute about it!"
"Yeah?"
The presiding judge slammed his gavel down heavily.
He gestured for the court clerk to come forward. The clerk walked to the presiding judge's side, held up the photo on the document, and the two discussed it in hushed tones.
The presiding judge had a solemn face. Not only were the plaintiffs flustered, but even Zhang Lan leaned forward to ask questions.
"Lawyer Qin, what category does the information you submitted fall under?"
"This is a document that guarantees your victory!"
Qin Suisui remained calm and composed, speaking in a flat tone.
Only Yue Hongxin looked at Zhang Lan with a hint of sympathy and pity in her eyes.
Zhang Lan looked at Yue Hongxin with a puzzled expression, not understanding why the other person's gaze made her uncomfortable.
In court, the presiding judge and the court clerk finally finished their discussion.
The presiding judge looked in Qin Suisui's direction.
"Plaintiff's lawyer, are you sure the documents you submitted are authentic?"
"confirm!"
Qin Suisui's eyes were clear and focused as she looked at the judge's bench.
"The documents contain complete storage media and photographs, and the electronic data collection and extraction records are complete, which can be used as one of the bases for the trial."
"Your Honor, we have submitted new evidence and are now raising objections to the legality and compliance of the cooperation agreement signed between He Jiang, the former chairman of Wenhui Pharmaceutical, and the defendant Zhang Bin, as well as the equity transfer agreement."
"We request the court to declare the agreement signed by the three parties invalid! The equity transfer agreement is invalid!"
Qin Suisui's repeated questions caused the entire Second Courtroom to erupt in uproar.
Including Zhang Lan.
"Lawyer Qin, what exactly did you submit?"
"Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment!"
Qin Suisui gestured to Yue Hongxin to take out another spare document from the folder.
After she took it, she handed it to Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan took the document with a puzzled look, pulled out the files from the folder, and frowned as she carefully examined them.
She read faster and faster, almost tearing the paper in her hand.
She abruptly put down the documents in her hand, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and clenched her fists, her hands trembling slightly.
"Damn it, He Jiang is that bastard!"
She slammed her hands together, making a loud noise on the table.
"Plaintiff Zhang Lan, please maintain order in the courtroom!"
The presiding judge looked up at the plaintiff's seat and issued his first warning!
