The lawsuit between Wen Ying, the magazine and Han Qin is a civil tort case.
The "termination statement" published by the magazine is contrary to the facts, and Han Qin's anonymous remarks on the Tianya Forum have violated Wen Ying's right to reputation. Zheng Zhihe's appeal is to require the magazine and Han Qin to stop the infringement, restore the reputation of Wen Ying, the pen name "Fish Against the Current", eliminate the adverse effects of their improper behavior, make a public apology, and of course, compensate her.
Zheng Zhihe would not accept the verbal apology which was so light and insignificant.
Only by making the other party bleed and suffer can they remember the lesson.
Zou Weijun, Xie Qian and Xiao Niu all applied to attend the class as auditors.
Sitting in the gallery was a man in his fifties, wearing a gray suit. He was thin and small and looked inconspicuous, but Wen Ying's pupils were greatly shocked.
This is the mentor who introduced her to the world in her previous life!
——Why is the teacher here today?
Wen Ying was in a daze. She had never expected that such a small case would alarm her mentor.
Wen Ying looked at the judge's seat in fear, fearing that today's presiding judge would also be an old acquaintance of hers. With her teacher and senior students all there, plus another acquaintance, she had the illusion that today was her graduation thesis defense.
Fortunately, there was a new face on the bench.
Look at a male judge who is younger than Zheng Zhihe.
...Tsk, Senior Brother Zheng suffers from the disadvantage of looking precocious.
Han Qin saw that there were so many people sitting on Wen Ying's side listening to the trial, so she whispered a few words to her lawyer. Han Qin's lawyer requested to clear the court - the presiding judge did not agree, and Han Qin looked unhappy.
The case was accepted by the local court in Chengdu. Han Qin's lawyer believed that suing in Chengdu would be very disadvantageous to both the magazine and Han Qin, and raised a "jurisdictional objection", but it was rejected by the court.
This is a case of infringement.
In Chengdu, one can see the explosive posts on Tianya, and the July issue of "Aige" is also on sale. The infringement by the magazine and Han Qin not only occurred in Shandong Province, but the Chengdu Court had a basis for accepting the case in the first place.
The "objection to jurisdiction" was rejected too quickly. Han Qin's lawyer immediately felt something was wrong and told Han Qin that the other party's lawyer was very powerful.
Han Qin's lawyer only has a 50% chance of winning this lawsuit.
The prerequisite is that the little salamander is not allowed to appear in court as a witness.
The magazine fired Xiao Niu for this very reason.
But Xiao Niu sued the magazine and Han Qin again.
These are two cases, and the lawyer needs to deal with the current one first.
Both parties made their own statements. Zheng Zhihe demanded a public apology from the magazine and Han Qin, and also demanded 300,000 yuan in compensation for mental damages.
Zheng Zhihe glanced at Wen Ying with a serious expression, "My client is a minor, a high school student. This incident has caused her great harm. She is not yet eighteen years old and cannot withstand the violence of public opinion. Her creative career has been affected, her studies have been affected, and even her normal life has been affected. This age is a critical period for the formation of one's outlook on life, world view, and values. The damage she is suffering now may accompany my client for the rest of her life!"
Wen Ying knew Zheng Zhihe's style too well, and immediately cooperated by making a frightened expression.
——Ah, I was under so much pressure. If it weren’t for the encouragement from my editor and lawyer, I wouldn’t have dared to go to court to face Editor-in-Chief Han.
Wen Ying doesn't think she is shameless at all. When she was a lawyer, she would also advise her clients on how to behave in court.
The judge looks at the evidence, but not entirely. There will be some subjective emotions involved.
Wen Ying is now a little client who is afraid of Editor-in-Chief Han, but has to muster up the courage to go to court with Editor-in-Chief Han.
Han Qin was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Wen Ying is not afraid of her!
The last time she came to Chengdu, Wen Ying's parents were not present, and it was Wen Ying herself who negotiated the publishing conditions throughout the whole process.
A high school student who dares to negotiate a contract with an adult on his own, no matter whether he is smart or stupid, will never be associated with "cowardice"!
Has your creative career been affected?
Han Qin really couldn't tell what was affected. "Teenage Idol" was released on August 1st, and Han Qin even secretly read the second half. Not only was the quality not affected, but it was even smoother than when it was serialized in the magazine.
Xie Qian also felt that Zheng Zhihe was talking nonsense.
The termination statement was published in the July issue of "Aige", after the final exams of the previous semester.
Wen Ying's ranking in the final exam did improve, and even if it didn't, it was definitely not because of Han Qin... Of course, as Wen Ying's good friend, Xie Qian liked Lawyer Zheng's nonsense.
At least this matter escalated into a lawsuit, which did delay Wen Ying's holiday exam preparation.
Missing one test paper won't have much impact, but missing dozens of tests will have a big impact. If Wen Ying fails to get into a prestigious university in the future, 300,000 yuan in compensation is really too little!
Of course, this was just Xie Qian's opinion in court. Outside the court, if Wen Ying used this incident as an excuse not to study, Xie Qian would settle both old and new accounts with Wen Ying.
Han Qin's lawyer's surname is Xiong.
Lawyer Xiong is a very aggressive lawyer. He has not yet put on the disguise of Zheng Zhihe. Zheng Zhihe proposed a public apology and 300,000 yuan in compensation, so Lawyer Xiong asked Wen Ying questions.
The first question was about what works Wen Ying had published publicly before submitting to Aige.
"No, I started writing after I took the high school entrance exam, and my first piece was published in Aige."
Lawyer Xiong smiled and said, "But you must have submitted your manuscript to other magazines before, and it wasn't accepted, right?"
Wen Ying nodded: "Yes, it hasn't been reviewed yet."
"You know that in the literary world, especially in publicly circulated newspapers and magazines, everyone is very taboo about submitting the same manuscript to multiple publications. Have you ever done that?"
"Please, the defendant's lawyer, stop inducing my client!"
