"Zhang Feng, come here."
After walking up the steps of the courthouse, Chen Tianyi, with his back to the reporters, finally had a moment to call over the artist who was walking alone not far away: "There shouldn't be any place for you to stand here, right?"
“President Chen…” Zhang Feng did not answer, but nodded instead.
"After the lawsuit is over, report to Starway. You deserve credit for this. We'll commission an album for you before the end of the year. If it's well-received, we'll allocate more resources to you next year." Chen Tianyi was very clear about these matters.
A mistake is a mistake, and a merit is a merit; those who have made merit should certainly be rewarded.
Moreover, considering that Wanxia was about to collapse, promoting Wanxia's artist Zhang Feng would also be a blow to them.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Zhang Feng's eyes lit up when he heard that he wanted to commission an album. He knew his initial choice was right.
His time to truly shine will come when he's on the path to stardom.
As for the sunset... hehe!
"Fei, tell your brother to perform well with his friends later. They'll each get a reward of ten thousand yuan after this is over." After giving his instructions, Chen Tianyi walked into the courthouse and began the security check.
"Brother, Mr. Chen instructed that if your friends perform well, each of them will receive 10,000 yuan afterward."
Upon hearing this, the masked girl, the man with headphones, the blond guy, and the long-haired guy all nodded and did as instructed, even without Brother Yi's further instructions.
"Don't worry, Sister Fei, we know what we're doing." The masked girl felt extremely disgusted with Li Zhaoyang, and by extension, she felt disgusted with Wanxia as well. Even if she didn't get 10,000 yuan, she wouldn't let Wanxia have an easy time in court.
What's more, there's a reward of 10,000 yuan, which is fantastic.
Before long, the group and the spectators who were able to watch the trial gradually disappeared through the courthouse gates after registering and going through security.
A group of reporters were left behind, still waiting anxiously.
They won't leave here so soon.
The real breaking news started after the lawsuit was over.
Whoever gets the first-hand information will still get their year-end bonus even if they stay home for the next few months.
"Look, the Supreme People's Court website has released the latest news... The court hearing will be broadcast live at 2:30... Isn't 2:30 the case of Wanxia suing Xingtu?"
In the dense crowd of reporters, someone suddenly shouted something, which roused many of them.
"What? A live court hearing? That's impossible. How could such a big case be broadcast live?"
Some people have raised questions.
There are generally only three points when a court trial is broadcast live online.
Either the case has received extremely high public attention, or it has a significant impact on society, or it even has educational value.
If we absolutely have to say which criterion this case meets... it can only be that it garnered a lot of public attention.
"Holy crap, it really is a live court hearing!" The elderly female reporter from before had already seen the live stream start on the official website of the Supreme People's Court.
However, the lawsuit has not yet started; it is still in the pre-trial stage.
Inside the courthouse.
After Li Zhaoyang and his group reached the corner of the corridor, they headed in another direction.
Lawyers Zhang Donglai and Guan Shuangling were already waiting.
“Attorney Guan is here too.” Li Zhaoyang stepped forward to shake hands and greet him.
“Yes, let me take a look.” Attorney Guan reached out and shook hands with the other person.
Zhang Donglai got straight to the point: "This must be Ms. Lin Yanyun, the leader of the Sunset Sect, right?"
"Hello, Attorney Zhang." Lin Yanyun spoke with great poise.
"Attorney Zhang, are you confident?" Song Yuqin's concern was different each time. She guessed that if the case was lost, Zhaoyang would have to bear another wave of infamy.
"At least 90% or more." Zhang Donglai actually wanted to say 100%, but he didn't say it so confidently because he was considering the feelings of others.
"Such a high win rate?" Song Yuqin was somewhat surprised.
"No wonder he's the lawyer with the highest win rate at Bisheng Law Firm." Hearing this win rate put Lin Yanyun at ease.
Zhang Donglai waved his hand and laughed, "The reason this case has such a high success rate is entirely due to the real and valid evidence provided by my client. Any lawyer would be confident of winning."
What he said is indeed true.
Hearing this from Lin Yanyun and other senior executives of the Sunset Glow Ceremony was like a bolt from the blue.
Previously, it was thought that Zhaoyang had secretly collected some evidence of the crime before daring to sue Xingtu.
Now, listening to what Lawyer Zhang said, it seems that's not the case at all.
If the lawyer can easily change his stage name and still have a very high chance of winning this case, then the evidence of the crime is enough to be decisive.
Lin Yanyun, Song Yuqin, the vice president, the general manager, and others all looked at Li Zhaoyang simultaneously.
"It's getting late, let's get ready." Zhang Donglai straightened his collar and led them to the special reception room to make preparations.
As it approached 2:30, the rest of the people left one after another, walking down another corridor toward the courtroom gallery, including Attorney Kwan.
Only Li Zhaoyang and lawyer Zhang Donglai used the reception room corridor.
"Whoosh~"
Standing outside the courtroom, Zhang Donglai took a deep breath and composed himself.
Li Zhaoyang also straightened the light blue shirt he was wearing today.
Both parties made sure they were in a good position before stepping into the courtroom.
Before entering the courtroom, Li Zhaoyang saw Zhao Shanshan and her group walking through the "defendant's" passage from the opposite direction.
The one in front of me was dressed in a suit and tie, and looked like a lawyer.
I reckon it's a lawyer hired by Starway.
Upon entering the courtroom, all relevant personnel were required to take their seats in the designated locations.
Plaintiffs have their place, defendants have their place, and lawyers have their place.
When Zhao Shanshan's gaze fell on Li Zhaoyang, a strong sense of pride welled up in her eyes.
There are some things that people say, and sometimes a person's eyes can speak volumes.
Just like Zhao Shanshan now, her eyes seem to be saying:
After this, I will rise to the top and become a phoenix. This is the inevitable trend, unstoppable. I will no longer be the little singer who needs your charity for music resources. From now on, we will be separated by the world. In the future, you can only see me shining alone on the big screen. Perhaps one day in the future, by chance, we will meet again. At that time, I will be a celestial being, and you will be the mud on the ground.
In the audience section at the back, the president of Starway raised an eyebrow: "Why isn't it Lin Yanyun who filed the lawsuit?"
Someone nearby suggested, "They're probably afraid of losing the case, so they had Li Zhaoyang step in, right?"
The CEO of Starway raised an eyebrow, resting his chin on his hand as he pondered: "No, things aren't that simple."
He glanced at Lin Yanyun and the others who were also sitting in the audience next to him, and realized that the situation was not simple.
But I can't quite put my finger on what's so complicated about it.
I initially thought it would be Lin Yanyun who filed the lawsuit, but it turns out it was this hothead Li Zhaoyang.
"Smack—"
With a crisp sound of the gavel falling, the scene fell completely silent, and the court hearing officially began.
There are several mirrors on the sides, which are responsible for broadcasting the court hearing live online.
