Chapter 91
On the tenth day of the copy, Song Yue finally welcomed the opening of the trial of [Boyue Office Co., Ltd. v. Shang Qingkuan and more than 20 others].
A total of four people went to the company, including Song Yue, Ruan Hao, Xiao Peiyan, and another boy from the legal department. Secretary He stayed in the company to temporarily handle important company matters.
In fact, before the trial, the news that Boyue was suing its own employees had already spread within the industry, but it coincided with the outbreak of the financial crisis, resulting in little public attention and only the industry knew about the situation.
When the court opened today, Song Yue did not expect the audience to be so full. At a glance, one-third of the people were from the news media, another one-third were business owners from the same industry and upstream and downstream companies, and another one-third were family members or friends of the employees who were sued.
They sat in the audience, hatred written all over their faces. There was a sign at their feet with a lot of words written on it in red marker. They must have been planning to raise it and curse her at some point.
Song Yue glanced away, not taking it to heart at all.
After the judge read out the indictment, the defense lawyers for Shang Qingkuan and others began to rebut.
However, no matter how professional the lawyers they hired were, they were completely useless in the face of irrefutable evidence.
Two hours later, the judge declared the case closed and Boyue Office Co., Ltd. was the winner.
Ruan Hao stood in the prosecutor's seat throughout the entire process, neither humble nor arrogant, defending on behalf of the company. He only breathed a sigh of relief when the gavel in the judge's hand fell.
He turned around and gave Song Yue a joyful smile.
Song Yue gave him a thumbs up, and the latter suddenly grinned and laughed happily.
However, at this moment, something came crashing down from the audience!
"careful!"
Song Yue's expression froze, and she quickly rushed to the prosecution platform to block the hard object thrown by someone for Ruan Hao.
"Mr. Song!"
Ruan Hao was a little slow to react. When she wanted to reach out and wave away the thing, she found that her back had been hit with a loud bang.
Then something fell to the ground with a snap, like shattering glass.
The sound of burning flames was heard instantly.
Song Yue looked back and saw a yellow flame burning on the ground, accompanied by a lot of white smoke.
"It's phosphorus powder."
She hurriedly pulled Ruan Hao away from the scene and signaled Xiao Peiyan and another legal department employee in the audience to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Peiyan had no intention of leaving. Instead, she strode to the defense area, pressed her shoulders, and turned her back and forth to check: "Ms. Song, are you hurt? How's your back? Does it hurt?"
Without waiting for the person to answer, he hurriedly took out his phone and said, "I'll contact the hospital right away!"
Song Yue quickly intervened: "I'm fine. The phosphorus powder was in a glass bottle and it started burning after it fell to the ground."
"That won't do!" Xiao Peiyan acted like a parent, and she didn't know where she got the courage from, but she pushed Song Yue's hand back, "We must go and see!"
After saying that, he called the hospital and asked an ambulance to come quickly.
Song Yue was at a loss for words and had to give up.
At this time, the guards who were maintaining order also rushed forward, protecting Song Yue, Ruan Hao, and Xiao Peiyan behind them. At the same time, another group of people rushed into the audience, restrained the person who was causing the trouble, and sternly warned: "Do not disrupt the order of the court! Violators will be dealt with according to the Criminal Law!"
Only then did Song Yue see clearly who the person was - an elderly man in well-dressed clothes.
She was held tightly by two guards and couldn't move, but their vicious eyes couldn't deceive anyone. If they let her go at this moment, Song Yue believed that she would definitely throw things at them again.
"Mom! What are you doing? Let me go!"
Shang Qingkuan rushed over from the first row of the dock and fought the guards fiercely: "My mother didn't kill anyone or set any fire! Why are you detaining her? She's old, how can she withstand your torture? Let her go now, or I'll make you pay!"
Boom boom boom!
Three hammering sounds were heard, louder than before.
The judge sat in the center and said in a dignified tone: "This is a courtroom. Please be careful with your words, defendant!"
A new group of guards rushed over after hearing the news and also detained him.
The reporters who were originally sitting in the audience were now as excited as wild animals in a melon field. If it weren't for the law prohibiting taking photos in the courtroom, they would have taken out their cameras to take pictures of everything!
Originally, they were just following the normal procedure and came to listen to the case of a company suing its employees so that they could write some manuscripts to get it over with. However, they not only heard about the defendant's falsified academic qualifications and wage fraud, but also found out that the defendant's family members attacked the plaintiff's boss. The explosion was doubled!
So I quickly contacted my colleagues outside and asked them to prepare the camera well so that I could get the interview materials as soon as possible.
In the audience, apart from the emotional and angry family members of the defendant and the reporters who had already started thinking about how to write the manuscript, the rest were the bosses of the industry.
They seemed to be oblivious to the farce at the scene, and one by one they calmly stood up and left the scene.
Song Yue watched them leave with a dark look in her eyes.
Among those bosses just now, there was a competitor that the original owner knew.
Ever since the original owner's company became quite famous in City M, those people would occasionally throw dirty water behind its back. Because of this, Boyue's business was greatly affected in the first two years.
But thanks to the original owner's efforts, the business gradually got back on track.
Unfortunately, later on, due to the increasingly aggressive behavior of blood-sucking people like Ai Tao and Yao Qing, the company that had finally started to improve began to decline again.
When the rivals saw that Boyue was declining, they stopped throwing mud and started to watch from the other side of the river to see when the original owner's company would go bankrupt.
Song Yue guessed that in today's lawsuit, most people wanted to see Boyue embarrass himself or even fall.
It’s a pity that my wishful thinking failed, and I couldn’t vent my anger.
Outside the court, several middle-aged men looked at each other.
"It seems the Song guy has started to reorganize the company."
"It was still my uncle who opened the knife. It was pretty cruel."
"Tsk, I don't know what stimulated him to start messing around again."
"Let's do whatever we want. Are we really afraid of a woman like her? We'll do the same thing as before."
"Okay, got it. I'll contact you then."
In a corner unknown to Song Yue, a shameful deal was quietly concluded.
After leaving the court, the ambulance Xiao Peiyan called was parked outside the door.
Song Yue: ...
She's fine! She doesn't want to go to the hospital!
Just as she was wondering how to refuse, several guards suddenly caught up with them and stopped her.
"Ms. Song, regarding the incident where the client threw phosphorus powder in court, I need you to go to the police station and take a statement."
Song Yue's brows relaxed instantly, and she agreed repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Xiao Peiyan was left shaking her head helplessly.
Ruan Hao twitched his lips and said, "Sister Xiao, don't worry. I think Mr. Song's back is fine."
And judging by her instantaneous rush, Ruan Hao couldn't help but wonder if Boss Song had secretly practiced some kind of Qinggong (lightness skills). Otherwise, how could she react so quickly and be right in front of him in the blink of an eye?
After hearing what Ruan Hao said, and looking at Song Yue's back, Xiao Peiyan saw that she was indeed not seriously injured. She nodded and turned around to pay the ambulance.
Although people don't need to go to the hospital, they still have to pay for the transportation.
Xiao Peiyan took the bill from the nurse, squeezed it, crumpled it into a ball, and put it in her pocket.
She can just pay the money herself, she doesn't plan to use the company's account.
It was already past 4 p.m. when I returned to the company after recording my statement.
After listening to Secretary He's report on the company's situation, I found that there was nothing important and the sales department had been receiving orders continuously, so I had a rare chance to relax.
In order to rectify the original owner's mess, she has been exhausted these days.
Now that Boyue is finally showing signs of improvement, she decides to leave work early and have a good rest.
Unfortunately, peaceful days are always short-lived. On the twelfth day of the copy, Song Yue saw the mayor with a sullen face on TV.
He stood trembling in the center of the camera, his lips seemed to be shaking.
"...Good morning everyone. I declare that today City M will experience hyperinflation."
"Today's prices have increased... 50%..."
50%? !
Song Yue straightened up from her swivel chair and frowned.
