If Zou Weijun's unit was inspired by a marketing case in the industry and used the lawsuit to hype the fame of "Teenage Idol" rather than truly wanting to restore the reputation of the author "Fish Against the Current", Zheng Zhihe did not want to be used.
He is taking the lawsuit very seriously.
He can fight a lawsuit that has no chance of winning, but Zheng Zhihe does not want to fight a lawsuit where the client's position is not firm and the claims are not pure.
Zheng Zhihe believed Zou Weijun's assurance.
——But in the end, Zou Weijun may not be able to make the decision.
Zou Weijun couldn't hear what Zheng Zhihe really cared about, but Wen Ying, who was in the same industry, heard it.
Wen Ying stood up and bowed to Zheng Zhihe:
"Lawyer Zheng, I don't know what others think, but I'm determined to fight this lawsuit to the end. It concerns my personal reputation, and it's very important to me! For the sake of 'Teen Idol' sales, I can accept being criticized temporarily, but I can't sacrifice my reputation for the sake of selling books. Filing the lawsuit is my own decision, and having Aunt Zou represent me is because I have some personal concerns. I want to keep my writing separate from real life, and for the time being, I don't plan to let too many people know that 'Fish Against the Current' is my pen name. That's why I didn't entrust you personally."
These words didn't sound like something that Zou Weijun or anyone else in the publishing department would say to Wen Ying.
I could understand what he was saying and his answers were very clear. No wonder he was able to engage in literary creation at such a young age.
After receiving Wen Ying's affirmative answer, Zheng Zhihe nodded with satisfaction: "I now understand your determination to defend your rights. Now let's talk about the evidence. I heard from Ms. Zou that you have something in your hand?"
Wen Ying had no idea that Zou Weijun's lawyer was Zheng Zhihe. Talking to Zheng Zhihe made her feel a bit like being questioned by a professor in a university course. She became more cautious in her words:
"I've taken screenshots of all the chats between me and the editor, Xiao Niu. I know QQ chats might be a bit weak as evidence... but I have something else."
The chat records can prove that Wen Ying was not deliberately delaying the submission or was unwilling to submit the manuscript, but that she was not sure whether the QQ number was still being used by Xiao Niu.
"Plus, I was busy with final exams a while ago and didn't have much time to go online. I later took the initiative to leave a message for Xiao Niu, wanting to discuss serialization after the July issue, but Xiao Niu didn't reply. After I finished my exams, the July issue of "Aige" was released, and the magazine unilaterally announced that it had terminated my contract. When I contacted Xiao Niu again, I found that she had deleted me as a friend."
Deleting friends will not affect the screenshots Wen Ying had previously saved.
It is hard to say whether the court will recognize the chat screenshots as evidence, but at least Wen Ying tried her best to keep the "evidence" before being deleted as a friend.
Wen Ying copied all the evidence onto a CD, and now she gave this important CD directly to Zheng Zhihe.
Zheng Zhihe immediately put the CD into the computer to check.
He soon realized that Wen Ying's method of preserving evidence was somewhat professional.
I was a little confused at first. Aren’t they just a few screenshots? It would be more convenient to store them on a USB flash drive, so why use a CD?
After reading the content, Zheng Zhihe realized that the storage capacity of the USB flash drive was not large enough!
Wen Ying is not just taking screenshots.
She pointed the camera at the computer screen and recorded herself taking screenshots.
If there is another person next to you, does this mean you are notarizing yourself?
Of course, this is troublesome.
But with video evidence, it is more credible than just screenshots of QQ chats.
If the video screenshots made Zheng Zhihe think that Wen Ying was a little clever, he was really surprised when he clicked on the second piece of evidence in the file.
Looking at the evidence provided by Wen Ying, Zou Weijun, another party involved in the incident, was also surprised:
"How could you have imagined..."
Zheng Zhihe hesitated to speak.
Wen Ying looked innocent: "Isn't that how detective novels are written? I'm just preparing for a rainy day. Who knows if anyone will take advantage of my young age? Now it comes in handy!"
Just because detective novels are written this way doesn't mean you, a little girl, can do it this way.
Who would live his life like a novel?
And the person who bullies you must be blind.
Beneath Zheng Zhihe's serious appearance, he was actually complaining like crazy.
"Don't do this next time. Your evidence may not be recognized. After all, conventional channels—"
Zheng Zhihe considered his words carefully, and Wen Ying smiled shyly: "It may not be useful, but it can at least play a role, right? I feel relieved that I can help Lawyer Zheng!"
Wen Ying's tone was so sincere that Zheng Zhihe didn't know what to say.
The little girl trusts him, so doesn't he trust himself?
If he can't even win this lawsuit, then his lawyer's license must be a fake one bought at Jiuyanqiao.
Originally, he wanted to put on a stern face and educate Wen Ying, letting her know what she can and cannot do. But looking at Wen Ying's little round face, Zheng Zhihe's heart softened: This is a smart little girl. When facing such a little girl, you can't criticize her indiscriminately. You should guide her from the side and let her get on the right track.
"Summer vacation is over, and you seem to be a sophomore in high school. Ms. Zou said you're attending a key provincial school in Chengdu. You have a clear mind. Do you want to study law in the future?"
If you encourage others to study medicine, you will be struck by lightning.
Anyone who persuades others to learn the law will be cut into pieces.
This is a very famous "golden sentence to encourage learning". Many people only know that there are these two sentences, but don't know why they are said like this.
Doctors and lawyers are two professions that require prior accumulation.
Doctors have a hard time. After finishing their undergraduate studies, they have to take the postgraduate and doctoral exams. After finally graduating and being able to work, they have to work their way up from residency. Staying up late damages their liver, and writing papers makes their hair bald. In the blink of an eye, they are already in their thirties, half of their life has passed, and they still don’t earn as much as a medical representative!
When patients are waiting for treatment, they are angels in white in the eyes of their families.
If the patient makes any mistake, he will instantly become an ugly devil in white, an executioner who takes human lives.
It's much the same with lawyers.
Wen Ying saw a joke online, saying that it was 2019, and how could one hire a driver in Shanghai with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan? The answers below were varied, and one of them made a lawyer cry: 3,000 yuan cannot hire a full-time driver, but you can hire a law firm intern who has passed the judicial examination, can drive, speaks foreign languages, and is on call 24 hours a day!
Having said that, it does not mean that the professions of doctor and lawyer are bad. In fact, these are two professions that require both intelligence and perseverance to succeed. Once you succeed, social status and various resources will come immediately. Ordinary people with ordinary IQ do not need to work hard in these two fields, and the probability is that they will not be able to succeed.
Zheng Zhihe persuaded Wen Ying to learn the law, not to trick Wen Ying. On the contrary, he respected Wen Ying very much and thought she was smart!
Wen Ying looked at the young Zheng Zhihe, and the time of two lives overlapped.
Zheng Zhihe persuaded her to study the law.
Zheng Zhihe who has not yet turned bald.
——Her fellow senior brother Zheng Zhihe.
