Chapter 250 Good Intentions
Shen Jiheng, who is at the top of the business world, naturally sees things differently from Han Xi.
She knew she wanted to repay Bo Siyue for saving her life, but mortgaging the entire company meant that if the other party ran into trouble, all the problems would fall on her.
The most hateful one is that damned Bo Siye. Didn't he keep saying he loved Han Xi? This time he's clearly using her.
“I have seen his educational model abroad, which has helped many people succeed. He has also done research in China, so he will definitely succeed.”
Shen Jiheng put his hand on her shoulder and said, "You have to understand that the educational methods at home and abroad are different, and the results of the survey do not represent the future development. You haven't seen it, but the policies are already changing, and many institutions are going out of business."
Han Xi knew that Shen Jiheng wouldn't joke about something like this, so he couldn't help but worry.
But she had already promised Bo Siye, and given the current situation, she had already contacted the bank; how could she go back on her word?
Shen Jiheng said earnestly, "Perhaps even he himself doesn't realize that this industry can no longer thrive in China, which is why he has invested so much effort into it, but you must withdraw in time."
"I need to think about this carefully. I understand you mean well, but I've already promised him."
“If you have trouble communicating with him, I can speak on your behalf.”
Han Xi shook her head; she needed to understand the matter further before making a decision.
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Shen Jiheng said angrily, "I am trying to help you now, but I can't stop you from doing what you're going to do. If you don't listen and something happens in the future, don't cry in front of me."
Han Xi remained calm upon hearing this, understanding Shen Jiheng's good intentions.
"Don't be angry. I know you mean well, but I have my own judgment on this matter."
He thought Han Xi was going to argue with him, but her sudden use of such a gentle tone caught Shen Jiheng off guard.
Shen Jiheng let out a breath and calmed down. He understood that Han Xi valued loyalty and would definitely want to help Bo Siye when he was in trouble.
"But you must promise me that you will never give up the company because of personal feelings, otherwise you will definitely regret it."
Han Shu Group is her life. If anything happens to it, Han Xi will be uneasy for the rest of her life. Shen Jiheng doesn't want to see that happen.
Han Xi nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Besides, I believe Si Ye wouldn't harm me."
Shen Jiheng frowned deeply. Han Xi had always trusted this man implicitly, and after this incident, he probably trusted him even more.
Shen Jiheng sometimes even suspected that Bo Siye had deliberately arranged the accident.
The reason I didn't think in that direction was because I felt I wouldn't dare gamble with my life.
Of course, if it's really as he thinks, it only means that this person is even more terrifying than he imagined.
"Further words are pointless; you'd better take care of yourself."
Since danger cannot be avoided, Shen Jiheng can only give her a warning. As for the outcome, no one knows.
Han Xi smiled faintly; she was confident she could handle the matter.
Just as she was about to answer the phone ringing in her bag, Han Xi took it out and saw that it was Wang Wei calling, indicating that there was some news about the case.
She gestured to Shen Jiheng to answer the call, and Wang Wei's excited laughter came through the microphone.
"Attorney Han, I have good news for you. We have found a new witness, our next-door neighbor. He has a clean record and no criminal record."
Han Xi felt uneasy when she heard the voice sound somewhat ethereal.
She moved a few steps away from Shen Jiheng to keep some distance before asking the question.
“Mr. Wang, are you sure this person really overheard your conversation, and that you didn’t bribe him? This is no joke.”
Wang Wei assured unequivocally, "He really did hear it, but he was too embarrassed to say it before for some reason. Only after I persuaded him did he agree to come out and testify."
“In that case, bring him over this afternoon. I will speak with him in person and then decide on his court appearance.”
The other party is Attorney Ye, a well-known lawyer at Tianxiang Law Firm. If there is a problem with the witness, it will be easy for the other party to see through it. If perjury is committed, it will backfire.
"Okay, let's set off now, see you later."
Han Xi wasn't at ease after hanging up the phone; she felt things weren't going as smoothly as she'd hoped.
Han Xi was still thinking when Shen Jiheng's curious voice came from behind him.
"What? Things have taken a turn for the better. They've found a new witness."
Han Xi looked at him in confusion: "You heard everything?"
Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "I didn't hear it, but I can tell from your reaction that as an observer, you have no chance of winning this matter."
Han Xi raised his chin: "I'd like to hear the details."
"You should know that this happened more than ten days ago, and the bonus has already been received before they say such things. The other party can easily say that they are greedy for money."
"Mr. Wang said that his older brother had been lying to him and then dragging his feet on giving him the money until they had a falling out the day before yesterday, at which point he sought legal aid. This is a legally sound argument."
Shen Jiheng shrugged; he was only thinking about the issue from his own perspective.
"Now that there are new witnesses, you need to prepare to appear in court."
“Qianqian’s physical reaction is too strong right now, so she is not suitable to appear in court. I will represent her.”
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "I'll sit in on the proceedings and cheer you on."
He now wants to be involved in everything Han Xi does, so that his presence will be etched in her memory.
In the afternoon, Han Xi returned to the law firm, and Peng Ling called, asking her to come back to the company to handle some matters when she had time.
With orders for new products pouring in, the senior management of Hanshu Group wants to take advantage of this opportunity to develop several new perfumes, and these decisions all need to be made by her.
Han Xi had a lot of things to do, so he could only schedule the meeting for tomorrow when he returned.
Knock knock knock...
A knock sounded at the door, and Zhang Ke led Wang Wei and the others in.
"Attorney Han, Mr. Wang has arrived."
Han Xi stood up to greet them: "Please invite them in. Go and make two cups of coffee."
Han Xi led the two to sit on the sofa. It was a little strange that Gao Juan hadn't come along today.
Seeing the confusion on her face, Wang Wei took the initiative to explain, "Attorney Han, my wife felt unwell in the car this morning, so she didn't come along."
Han Xi smiled and nodded, then looked at the middle-aged man beside him and asked, "Is this the witness you mentioned?"
Wang Wei nodded excitedly: "This is my neighbor Wang Zhong. We are even related by blood. He can testify for me."
Han Xi, seeing that the man seemed honest enough, asked, "Mr. Wang Zhong, when did you overhear the conversation between the two brothers?"
Wang Zhong recalled: "Five days ago, when Wang Bing was about to collect his bonus, I heard him say that he would give half of it to Awei."
Han Xi noted down the time and then asked, "This matter between the brothers has caused quite a stir in the town. Why didn't you stand up to testify for him before, but instead came out now?"
Han Xi had to understand every situation clearly. If she couldn't even get past her, how could she face the questions from the defendant's lawyer?
