Today, Du Li made an appointment with Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong to meet. Three days are up, and the couple should give Du Li an accurate answer on whether to withdraw the lawsuit and settle the case. Du Li brought a settlement agreement when he came, and the terms were so generous that it was tempting.
Chen Ru finally saw Han Qin with her own eyes.
Editor-in-Chief Han has been a little haggard due to the recent lawsuits, so Du Li specifically told Han Qin not to dress too formally.
At this time, you should not be too strong, and you should not compete with others in dressing. Showing weakness appropriately is conducive to reconciliation.
So the Editor-in-Chief Han who appeared in front of Chen Ru looked like an ordinary woman who was tortured by the lawsuit and looked haggard. She no longer had the aggressiveness and dominance.
Chen Ru's eyes were as sharp as an eagle as she looked Han Qin up and down.
Han Qin felt very uncomfortable, but she gritted her teeth and endured it: Lawyer Du is right, a little impatience will ruin a big plan, we can't let the lawsuit continue, withdrawing the lawsuit before the verdict is the best choice for me!
Du Li cleared his throat and asked, "What do you two think?"
Wen Dongrong glanced at his wife, unsure whether it was his turn to speak.
——Oh, it seems that my wife has something to say, so I will wait a little longer.
Chen Ru sneered, "Lawyer Du, a settlement must be sincere. There's a living person standing before me. Lawyer Du, why don't you introduce me to him?"
Although Chen Ru had a bad attitude, Du Li was quite happy.
How can both parties reconcile if they don't vent their anger?
"This is my client, Ms. Han Qin, the senior editor-in-chief of Aige magazine and the editor-in-chief who served as Wen Ying's correspondence when she was writing for the magazine. Editor-in-Chief Han is very fond of Wen Ying's talent. Wen Ying has grown from a new author to a best-selling author in a short period of time. Editor-in-Chief Han wouldn't dare claim all the credit, but let's be honest and ask, is it related to the magazine and the platform Editor-in-Chief Han provided for Wen? Of course, I'm not saying this to take credit for Editor-in-Chief Han. The two parties who originally had a harmonious relationship ended up in court due to misunderstandings caused by poor communication and the instigation of certain people... Since you two agreed to meet today, why not listen to Editor-in-Chief Han's sincerity in seeking reconciliation?"
As soon as Du Li finished speaking, Han Qin cooperated and stood up.
"Thank you both for giving me this opportunity. I've always been very optimistic about Xiaoyu, your daughter Wenying. We already had a publishing plan for her, and she chose to sign with Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House. I found it difficult to accept it at the time, and I brought my emotions into my work. I failed to communicate in time, which led to the subsequent series of events. I want to take this opportunity to apologize to you both!"
Han Qin was too embarrassed to apologize in court.
Whether it was Wen Ying, Xiao Niu or Zou Weijun, they were all people Han Qin hated extremely. Han Qin couldn't bring herself to apologize to them.
Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong have no vested interest in Han Qin, and there are no outsiders watching. In order to reconcile, Han Qin can apologize.
Bah, hypocrisy!
In essence, it is bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Chen Ru silently made a conclusion about Han Qin and asked Han Qin: "Have you apologized to Wen Ying?"
"I……"
Han Qin was confronted and looked unhappy.
Of course she never apologized to Wen Ying.
Chen Ru continued to sneer, "You're spouting nonsense online because you're emotionally agitated? As an adult, a magazine editor, you're picking on a child just because you're emotionally agitated. What kind of ability do you have!"
“…”
Han Qin was still speechless.
How does Wen Ying look like a child?
I know that the negotiations need to be recorded.
Talking freely in court.
Ten ordinary high school students tied together are not as good as one Wen Ying!
Chen Ru was so aggressive that Han Qin felt so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick.
For a person with a bad temper to pretend to be pitiful, it is a big test of her acting skills. Han Qin can hardly continue acting.
Seeing that something was amiss, Du Li quickly took over the conversation, "After reaching an agreement with the two of you, Editor-in-Chief Han will definitely apologize to Wen Ying. That's the right thing to do!"
Chen Ru raised her chin and said, "Aren't there two defendants? Only Editor-in-Chief Han apologized?"
From the looks of it, they want the magazine to apologize as well.
Han Qin is the representative sent by the magazine, isn’t that enough?
It seems that Chen Ru is very angry.
Du Li turned his head and asked Wen Dongrong, "Mr. Wen, what do you think about this matter——"
Wen Dongrong puffed out his chest.
Is it finally time to ask the head of the household for his opinion?
Pooh!
It's too late.
"Lawyer Du makes it sound so easy. Withdrawing the lawsuit and settling the case is good for Aige and Editor-in-Chief Han, but it's not good for us. And you're not even allowing us to make any demands?"
Wen Dongrong spoke in a calm tone. As long as he wanted to, he could make people angry to death!
Du Li felt that these two people did not seem to be here to reconcile.
However, the two sides had not yet fallen out. Du Li signaled Han Qin to remain calm and pushed the two settlement agreements in front of Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong.
"You two, how can a verbal apology be sincere? Ultimately, it must be put into practice. This is just a small gesture of sincerity from the magazine and Editor-in-Chief Han. The magazine will definitely issue a public statement to clear up the misunderstanding. If Wen Ying wants to continue publishing her works in the future, Aige will fully support her. As far as I know, Rongcheng Publishing Group does not have any youth magazines under its umbrella."
A little sincerity.
Chen Ru looked down at the amount on the settlement agreement. It was 50,000 more than the amount Du Li had mentioned at the beginning, a full 350,000, which exceeded the compensation amount proposed by Lawyer Zheng.
Even if the lawsuit is won, the judge will not order compensation of 300,000, let alone 350,000!
Seeing the painful expression on Han Qin's face, Chen Ru knew that the 350,000 yuan included Han Qin's savings, and even Han Qin paid a large part of it.
Han Qin would probably be heartbroken for several years after accepting this compensation. The editor-in-chief of a magazine earns more than the average office worker, but not too much... But Chen Ru doesn't want to accept it.
Because compared to making Han Qin lose money, it is more appropriate to make Han Qin lose her job!
If Han Qin can no longer be the editor-in-chief, it will be a good thing for Wen Ying and other new authors. Wen Ying is definitely not the only author who has been bullied by Han Qin.
As for Aige's full support, Chen Ru didn't take it seriously at all.
It sounds nice to say that they put aside past grudges and provide a platform for Wen Ying. Given the current popularity of "Teenage Idol", Wen Ying still returns to "Aige" to write articles. It is obvious that "Aige" is taking advantage.
Rongcheng Publishing Group does not have a well-known youth magazine now, but is about to establish one. A new magazine needs heavyweight authors to join, and Wen Ying is the right candidate.
Han Qin also said that she had already made a publishing plan for Wen Ying, as if she valued Wen Ying very much.
What kind of publishing plan can be better than that of Chengdu Literature and Art Publishing House?
Chen Ru suppressed her sneer and picked up the pen on the table.
"Settlement agreement? I'll sign it!"
Wen Dongrong was shocked.
Do you really want to sign?
This is different from what we agreed at home!
If I sign the settlement agreement, how will I face Wen Ying when I go home... Wen Dongrong wanted to raise his hand to stop him, but Chen Ru had already grabbed the pen and was writing on the settlement agreement.
Han Qin was quite contemptuous and spoke harshly, saying that it was just money that made him greedy!
Only Du Li was not happy.
Du Li was standing closer to Chen Ru and could see the movements drawn by Chen Ru.
Chen Ru didn't sign her name at all, but drew a turtle in the blank space of the settlement agreement!
——Who are you scolding?!
