Chapter 197: Taking the Lead
Seeing that it was Xu Rou, Chi Xuan frowned and hung up directly.
The next second, Huo Tianyi's message popped up.
[Chi Xuan, this is what you call smooth sailing?]
Seeing the verdict sent by Huo Tianyi, Chi Xuan's eyes were filled with disbelief. How could she possibly lose the case?!
Soon, Jinxiu's lawyer came out.
Unlike the complacency at the beginning, they now have frustrated expressions on their faces. Compared with the high-spirited lawyer MY next to them, they look quite downcast.
The reporter had no time to interview Chi Xuan at this moment. He quickly ran towards MY's legal team and surrounded them.
"Lawyer Zhang, why did you wait until the very last moment to show it when you clearly had evidence that could have caused Jinxiu to lose the case?"
The lawyer in question smiled and said slowly, "Because we wanted to see how shameless Jinxiu could be. As expected, we were not disappointed. They actually dared to ask for 50 million in compensation. In all my years in the industry, this is the first time I've encountered such a shameless company."
As he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but hold back their laughter, and Jinxiu's lawyer beside him looked extremely ugly.
Chi Xuan was so angry that her face turned blue. She didn't expect that MY's people could actually prove that the picture was synthesized!
Didn't Huo Tianyi say that few people in China could figure out this synthesis technique?!
Thinking of this, Chi Xuan became even more angry and immediately sent a message back to Huo Tianyi.
"How dare you ask me this? Didn't you say that the photo wouldn't be discovered to be a composite? How did MY's lawyer find out?"
After sending this message, Chi Xuan got into the car, threw her phone on the passenger seat, and drove away from the scene.
After losing this case, Jinxiu will definitely be scolded even more severely. She must find a way to solve this mess quickly.
MY President's Office.
The moment he won the case, Chi Muzhen received a call from Shen Tian and learned the news.
She didn't feel much emotional about this victory, after all, she had already anticipated the result.
Jinxiu has reaped the fruits of her own actions this time. How harshly those netizens scolded MY in the early days, and how angry they must be now that they know they were deceived by Jinxiu. Chi Xuan's retribution has just begun.
As soon as the news of the victory came out, MY's stock price began to rise.
To celebrate the victory, MY's clothes were 30% off and were quickly sold out.
Compared with the liveliness of MY, Jinxiu seems very deserted.
With the loss of the lawsuit, many of Jinxiu's outrageous actions were exposed, and she became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat. Some people even spontaneously organized a team online to boycott Jinxiu.
Chi Xuan did nothing the whole day but sit in the office and read online comments.
There were many netizens who helped Jinxiu before, but now they have turned around and scolded Jinxiu after realizing that they have been cheated. Not only Jinxiu’s official Weibo, but also Chi Xuan’s personal account has been scolded by many people in private messages.
Those ugly words emerged in her mind one by one, and Chi Xuan was so angry that she threw her phone.
The PR department initially wanted to control the comments, but when they realized they couldn't, they just gave up.
In addition to the Internet, many partners also approached Jinxiu to terminate their contracts. Some people even dug up that M's account manager Chu Yi and Chi Xuan had met privately several times. Everyone was speculating that Chu Yi was in a hurry to terminate the contract with MY at the beginning, and perhaps Chi Xuan was involved.
When Lin Lu knocked on the door and walked into Chi Xuan's office, Chi Xuan was sitting behind the desk with a sullen face. Her red eyes were fixed on the screen in front of her. Her hands holding the keyboard were pale and bluish. She looked abnormal.
She stood a few steps away from the door and didn't dare to go any further.
"Boss Chi... our company's biggest brands have come to us, saying they want to terminate the contract... and they want the company to pay liquidated damages..."
Chi Xuan's expression was icy, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Leave it to the other shareholders!"
"Also, MY's lawyer came over and said he wanted to discuss compensation."
Hearing this, Chi Xuan suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of anger, "Let them go! I won't give that bitch Chi Muzhen a penny!"
Lin Lu was frightened by her almost crazy appearance and quickly turned around and left.
…
At seven o'clock in the evening, Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting sat by the window of Free Life, the most famous Western restaurant in Chengdu, eating while overlooking the night view of the entire Chengdu.
"Zhenzhen, congratulations to MY on winning the lawsuit."
Chi Muzhen smiled, raised her glass and clinked it with his, took a sip of red wine and said slowly: "Thank you."
Huo Yunting put down his wine glass, his expression showing a rare hint of nervousness.
"I have one more thing I want to tell you today."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with confusion, "What?"
Huo Yunting pursed his lips, suddenly stood up and walked to her side. Just as he was about to kneel on one knee, his cell phone rang.
He frowned and was about to ignore it, but unexpectedly Chi Muzhen helped him pick up the phone.
"Answer the phone first."
After the call was connected, no one knew what was said on the other end, but Huo Yunting's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Grandma suddenly fainted and is in the hospital!"
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when the two arrived at the hospital.
The housekeeper saw them and hurried over to greet them.
"What did the doctor say? What caused grandma to faint suddenly?"
The housekeeper shook his head. "Nothing was found. The doctor said it might be hypoglycemia. Let's observe for two days."
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "Grandma has regular checkups, how could she have low blood sugar?"
"I don't know either, but the old lady's appetite has decreased a lot recently. She can only eat half a bowl of rice for each meal."
Huo Yunting frowned and said coldly, "I understand. You go back and rest first. I'll find two nurses to take care of grandma later."
The housekeeper nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and pack some underwear for the old lady. The doctor said she needs to be hospitalized for a few days."
"Um."
Not long after the housekeeper left, Mrs. Huo woke up.
When the old man learned that he had to be hospitalized, he immediately became unhappy and insisted on going back.
"I just fainted from low blood sugar. The doctor is making a big deal out of it. I've been fine for years. It won't be any different if I just go back and rest."
Chi Muzhen said while peeling an apple: "Grandma, you just stay in the hospital for a few days and do some more tests. If there is nothing wrong, we will be relieved."
Mrs. Huo frowned and said, "I'm really fine. I just feel uncomfortable staying in the hospital."
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Just a few days. If you're not used to it, how about I stay here with you for a few days?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Huo reluctantly said, "Okay."
Chi Muzhen cut the apple into small pieces and blanched it in boiling water before giving it to Mrs. Huo.
While the two were chatting, Huo Jinsong and Cheng Shumin arrived.
After knowing that Mrs. Huo was not seriously injured, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Huo said calmly, "Alright, I just have low blood sugar. You guys can go back. There's nothing to do here."
Huo Jinsong nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, you have a good rest. I'll ask Shumin to make some soup and come see you tomorrow."
"No need, the nurses will take care of these things."
She has never liked this daughter-in-law, so naturally she doesn't want to see her get close to her.
As the two were leaving, Cheng Shumin said to Chi Muzhen, "Muzhen, you and Yun Ting, come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."
After leaving the ward, Cheng Shumin looked at the two of them and asked bluntly, "When do you plan to remarry?"
