Wu Changfeng was also furious.
No one is allowed to imitate my tricycle.
So, it turns out you, Lu Xingtao, are backing me up?
Damn it, I'll break your back!
"Huh?" Xie Hongtao really didn't know that the big boss had personal grudges with others.
However, Xie Hongtao also realized that the other party was no pushover either.
Investing in something like this is just a fit of pique, a way of stirring up trouble. You can imagine that this guy surnamed Lu must be quite wealthy.
Wu Changfeng continued, "If it's someone surnamed Lu, you don't need to worry about it. If they don't agree to compensate you, then sue them!"
"Damn it, that wicked guy, I'll beat him up sooner or later!"
"Uh." Xie Hongtao was speechless. Had this escalated into a personal brawl?
Is it a love-hate relationship?
Xie Hongtao shook his head to clear his jumbled thoughts, then said, "Okay, boss. If there are no problems on your end, then I'll move on to the next step and negotiate again."
"No need for all that trouble. If you spoil them, just sue them. Why be polite?" Wu Changfeng's tone was resolute.
Xie Hongtao could only stammer and agree.
After hanging up the phone.
Xie Hongtao felt it was best to negotiate again.
If you can avoid appealing, then don't appeal; it's too mentally taxing.
Moreover, Cao Hongyun relied on having powerful backers, so this time he was told directly that the people behind him were no good.
The best course of action would be to further break Cao Hongyun's spirit and reach a settlement.
So, Xie Hongtao, who had disappeared for several days, reappeared in Cao Hongyun's office.
Cao Hongyun reclined in his executive chair, looking at Xie Hongtao with a sneer, and asked, "What, you've figured out the investigation? Scared to death, haven't you?"
Xie Hongtao remained as steady as a mountain, sitting upright in front of him.
He said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "You're referring to someone, right?"
"Let me tell you, Manager Cao, your wishful thinking has backfired."
"Isn't he just a guy from the capital surnamed Lu?"
Cao Hongyun nodded smugly: "You're not convinced?"
"Ha." Xie Hongtao slammed his hand on the table and said, "Our boss said, if we encounter someone surnamed Lu, we'll beat him up every time we see him!"
"You—" Xie Hongtao smirked, "You don't work here!"
"What!" Cao Hongyun jumped up with a shout: "It doesn't work? How arrogant!"
"Enough with the nonsense," Xie Hongtao asked. "Just tell me if we'll lose money or not!"
"Wait here, don't go!" Cao Hongyun grabbed the phone and called Lu Xingtao.
Xie Hongtao wasn't intimidated either; what if he dared to hit someone?
Call anyone you want.
If you dare to make a move, I'll get a windfall!
A short while later, Lu Xingtao and his men leisurely appeared in the office.
He began by saying, "Young lawyer, I've heard that my words don't carry weight, is that right?"
Xie Hongtao turned his head.
Seeing the two enter the office, he squinted and retorted directly, "The main character is here? That doesn't work either. Pay up, no discussion!"
Gu Zhengnan, standing next to Lu Xingtao, laughed heartily: "Little Lu, now that you're out of the game, anyone dares to talk back to you."
Gu Zhengnan cracked his knuckles as he approached Xie Hongtao, leaning down and intimidating him: "Tsk tsk, even that coward Wu Changfeng doesn't dare to show his face? He sent you, a little thing, to negotiate?"
Xie Hongtao's eyes flashed coldly: "Please stay away from me. Did you brush your teeth?"
"Damn it!" Gu Zhengnan was furious. He grabbed Xie Hongtao by the collar. "Don't you know whose territory this is? Do you really think we're all civilized people? Let me tell you, I can kill you and no one will know! Don't be so arrogant!"
Xie Hongtao waved his hand and scoffed, "Don't try that. Try punching me. Personal injury cases are my specialty."
Gu Zhengnan laughed heartily: "You've got guts. I still have a lot of respect for cultured people. I hope you won't lower yourself."
After saying that, Gu Zhengnan put Xie Hongtao down and sat down casually to the side.
Lu Xingtao looked at Xie Hongtao and said, "I don't know why you're so fixated on Manager Cao. If it weren't for me, would you have sent Manager Cao to jail? Is there no law in this world?"
Xie Hongtao said, "If you're talking about the law, that would be perfect."
"Those who infringe on our Morning Star's patent must pay the price. How can we turn a blind eye and let things go unpunished?"
"Really?" Lu Xingtao spread his hands: "They produce semi-finished products."
Xie Hongtao was too lazy to argue with him and said bluntly, "It's useless to say these things. We'll see in court. You'll see if the judge believes your nonsense."
Lu Xingtao chuckled and said, "Facts are facts. Whether you believe it or not, these are things that can be studied repeatedly, aren't they?"
"I know the judge probably won't believe it, but so what? If the evidence is flawed, do you really expect to get 10 million in compensation?"
"Absolutely impossible."
Lu Xingtao said, "Let's speak frankly. I can afford to pay, but how much I pay is not up to you, but up to the judge."
Xie Hongtao was stunned and speechless.
Lu Xingtao then continued, "I have a suggestion for you: put the appeal on hold for now. Tell Wu Changfeng that if I lose money, his products will not be allowed to be sold in the entire Hexi Province!"
Xie Hongtao: !!!
