Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer Chapter 142

  Chapter 142 The excuse is terrible to start!

   20 minutes passed.

  The trial continues.

   "Defense, do you want to cross-examine witnesses?"

  Ni Qiuping sat in the trial seat, looked at Zhang Wei, and asked coldly.

   "Your Honor, I..."

   Zhang Wei stood up and glanced at the plaintiff's seat.

   I saw Wang Meiyan showing a scorpion-like smile, as if Zhang Wei said one wrong word, which may lead to danger.

   On the jury bench, there are also countless gazes projected.

  In the hearing box, her husband Ding Chuntian also held the child, showing a nervous look.

   "...we choose not to cross-examine witnesses!"

   In the end, Zhang Wei chose not to ask questions.

   "Okay, it's your choice!"

   Judge Ni replied expressionlessly, then looked at the plaintiff's box, "Lawyer Wang, do you have any other witnesses for the prosecution to call?"

   "Your Honor, we have no witnesses to call!"

  Ni Qiuping nodded and knocked on the cone to announce: "In view of the fact that the defense does not conduct inquiries, and the prosecution has no witnesses to call, this court has announced that the court will adjourn today, and the next court session will be scheduled for 1 pm on Thursday!"

   At the announcement of the judge, the court was dissolved.

  The crowd left one after another.

   "Lawyer Zhang, Representative Cheng, wait a minute!"

   I saw Wang Meiyan suddenly stopped Zhang Wei and her party, and then handed over a piece of paper.

   "You guys think about it!"

   She said with a sneer, and walked out of the courtroom with cold eyes.

"This is……"

   "Obviously it's a condition of settlement, but I'm curious, isn't the Blackfoot's goal a class action lawsuit, this is the first case, they shouldn't want to settle?"

   Zhang Wei said, and handed the conditional note to Cheng Liang.

   Cheng Liang opened it, and his face changed suddenly.

   "Black-footed guys are too deceiving!"

   He shouted angrily, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it out with all his might.

   "What are you doing, this is a courthouse, and littering is prohibited!"

   Zhang Wei saw this, said something quickly, and picked up the note.

   He opened it and saw that it was also a good guy.

   The condition given by the black feet is not the compensation for reconciliation, but a public apology from sincerity insurance!

   This is a real blow to the face of a company.

"Blackfoot is trying to kill people. Even if you agree to reconcile, the plaintiff agrees to withdraw the case. But once the CEO of the company publicly apologizes, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss to the company's image, and it may even lead to a series of extreme What's bad is that the stock price falls by the limit, the company goes bankrupt..."

  Zhang Wei thought about it carefully. Could it be that the purpose of the black foot is to secretly acquire sincerity insurance?

   creates pressure on sincerity insurance through a lawsuit, and then threatens with a class action lawsuit to force sincerity insurance to publicly apologize.

   Once Sincerity Insurance has done this, Black Foot can use commercial means to secretly acquire the company's shares, and finally annex Sincere Insurance.

   After all, it is difficult to acquire a company with assets of tens of billions of dollars, but it is very easy to acquire a company whose image has been greatly damaged and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

   But none of this has anything to do with him, his purpose is to win the lawsuit this time.

   As long as the first case is blocked, the subsequent class action will not be a problem

   "Representative Cheng, although you are a representative of Sincerity Insurance, you are not the CEO after all. As a condition of the transaction, you still need to bring the news to the real decision makers."

   After handing the note to Cheng Liang, Zhang Wei leaned in front of him and asked, "By the way, can the materials I asked you to prepare be delivered tomorrow?"

   "Attorney Zhang, don't worry, I have let the people in the department collect them with all their strength. The cases collected now are enough for you to use tomorrow."

   "That's good, so I can rest assured, but you have to prepare for court tomorrow, and then I will summon you to testify in court!"

   "I understand that for the survival of the company, I will do my best!"

  Cheng Liang nodded solemnly and added a sentence in his heart.

   After I went back, I hinted to the leader to increase the salary. If this hurdle can be overcome, my pension and year-end bonus must increase!

  Zhang Wei and Cheng Liang and others bid farewell.

   The other party and Legal Counsel Yang returned to the company and informed the CEO of the conditions of the black feet.

   As expected, the CEO tore the note on the spot.

   And Zhang Wei had lunch outside before returning to Jincheng Law Firm.

   As soon as I entered the office, I found that the atmosphere was a little dull.

   "What's the matter, you didn't come to my court hearing, did the client get in touch?"

  Li Yueqin sighed, "We got in touch, but the client doesn't seem to be very interested and ignores us."

   "Isn't this nonsense, the civil affairs team lost all the cases before, it would be nice if we could pick them up!"

Zhang Wei said, looking at his little apprentice, "Xiaomeng, next, you should call the customer once in the morning, noon and night, and tell them that we attach great importance to the case, remember to show it with affection and reason, Understand?"

   "Uh, don't understand..."

  Lin Yumeng shook her head, of course she couldn't understand what Zhang Wei meant.

   "It's okay, you make a phone call in the morning, noon and evening. As soon as you make a call, you will greet customers and care about their health. This is enough to reflect our attention!"

   Zhang Wei comforted him, then sat down directly and began to wait.

   More than an hour later, the mail came.

   was sent by Cheng Liang, and these are the materials that Zhang Wei wanted.

   "Okay, tomorrow is my time to fight back!"

   Zhang Wei began to read the information, and his expression couldn't help but get excited.

   But compared to his excitement, the entire criminal team was a little dead.

  Tie Ruyun, Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin did not seem to have any positive reactions to Zhang Wei's case.

   Zhang Wei guessed that they were probably affected by the media reports.

   Being able to be influenced by the mediocre media shows that the three of them still need to exercise their moods!

  A lawyer who cannot treat anything calmly is not a good lawyer!

   Thursday afternoon.

   "Are you sure you don't want to come to my court?"

   When Zhang Wei had lunch, he was about to go to court, but as a result, a few friends from the criminal group were not interested in following him.

   "The trial, I won't go to see it, the plaintiff is so miserable, I'm afraid I can't help it."

  Tie Ruyun shook his head, showing an attitude that I didn't want to go.

   "Good apprentice?"

   "Master, I want to go too, but you asked me to contact the client..."

   "Little Li?"

   "Well, I have to write a report this afternoon..."

   "Isn't it an old iron thing to write reports?"

   "The team leader asked me to do it for me. I like to write reports, so I have something to do in the afternoon, so I can't go to your court."

"alright!"

  Since none of the three friends wanted to go, Zhang Wei didn't force it.

  Although he knew that the other party's excuse was bad, he didn't have the heart to break it.

   After taking the subway and arriving at the city court, Zhang Wei quickly met with Cheng Liang.

   "After reading the terms of the settlement yesterday, the president was very angry, and said that he wanted me to tell Lawyer Zhang that in this case, please give him a slap in the face!"

   "Okay, I get it, then get ready, you'll be in court later!"

  Zhang Wei and Cheng Liang entered the preparation room and began to prepare for the next trial.

  In the courtroom, people came one after another.

   At the hearing, Bai Meiqi was present, and Zhao Qingyan was sitting next to her.

   "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao would also come to see commercial litigation. Your relationship with Zhang Wei... is good?"

   "Oh, Xiao Zhang is a junior I am very optimistic about. The company just doesn't have much to do, so I came to support him."

  The company is not busy?

  Bai Meiqi thought she had heard it wrong, but Zhao Qingyan would actually say that she was not busy?

   How can the R&D department of a big company not be busy, and you are still the chief R&D officer and a technology leader. You use such a poor excuse, don't you have a B number yourself?

   However, the blacksmith technology where Zhao Qingyan works is, after all, Jincheng's biggest customer.

  People also need face, she can't break through this kind of thing.

   "Mr. Zhao, they are here."

  Bai Meiqi seemed to have a feeling, and looked at the door of the court.

   saw Zhang Wei bring Cheng Liang and Yang Legal into the courtroom.

  Zhang Wei and Zhao Qingyan in the hearing box nodded and then sat down in the dock.

   On the other side, Wang Meiyan also came with the plaintiff Yao Liting. Her husband Ding Chuntian and two children were all present.

   After a short period of warmth, the family took their seats.

   Zhang Wei noticed that every move of the plaintiff Yao Liting would attract attention on the hearing stand.

   This is the role of "storytelling" yesterday. Yao Liting's tragic experience attracted everyone's attention.

   "I'm surprised that you don't have any feedback!"

   On the other side, Wang Meiyan walked to the side of the dock and said hello to Zhang Wei.

   Of course, this greeting can be understood as provocation.

   "Your conditions are too outrageous, the person who can agree is probably a fool?"

"But you have no chance of winning, even if you don't agree, this case will still lose. And this is just the first lawsuit, what can you do in the next class action? Blackfoot can guarantee that sincerity insurance will definitely be in these cases. Bankruptcy!"

   "That's fine, lawyer Wang, just try it."

"you……"

   Seeing Zhang Wei's lack of oil and salt, Wang Meiyan did the same.

   She thought that her words could make Zhang Wei jump up and down in a hurry, but the other party seemed to be full of confidence. Could it be that he has a trump card.

   "Impossible, in this court trial, my client is 'invincible', and no one will be worse than her!" Wang Meiyan hurriedly shook her head to dispel this unreliable thought.

  Since Zhang Wei doesn't give face, she doesn't bother to waste her saliva here.

   Anyway, sincerity insurance is ignorant, and when it goes bankrupt, don't blame them for being ruthless and ruthless!

   The advantage of this case is on me, it is impossible to lose!

   1:00 p.m.

   With the presence of Judge Ni Qiuping, the jury was seated, the prosecution and defense were seated, and the case was ready for trial.

   Dong Dong Dong!

   After Judge Ni knocked the cone, he swept to both the prosecution and the defense.

   "Since everyone is here, let's continue the trial. Yesterday, the prosecution concluded its case statement, and today it's the defense's turn to speak!"

   Zhang Wei got up and nodded to the judge, "The defense has summoned Cheng Liang, the representative of Sincerity Insurance Company, to testify in court!"

   "Hey, it's finally here!"

  Wang Meiyan watched Cheng Liang walk onto the witness stand, the ruthlessness in her eyes could hardly be hidden.

   She was waiting for this moment.

   If Yao Liting's speech in court yesterday was a killer move, enough to influence the jury's opinion, then when she questioned Cheng Liang today, it would be the final lore.

   She has collected evidence of numerous calls between Sincerity Insurance and Yao Liting, and she has even secretly bribed a few employees of Sincere Insurance.

   As long as Cheng Liang speaks in court and says what she wants, she can call employees as rebuttal witnesses to testify that Cheng Liang is lying.

   Then, sincerity insurance will definitely lose!

   "Your Honor, before my client's representative answers questions, I would like to ask the court to prepare a slide show."

   "Slideshow?" Ni Qiuping was slightly puzzled, but nodded in agreement.

  Zhang Wei started the operation and got ready in court.

   After a few moments, the slideshow is set.

   Zhang Wei started to ask questions.

   He played the first slide and then asked, pointing to a man in a hospital bed in the photo.

   "Mr. Cheng Liang, please tell me, who is the person in the slideshow?"

   "His surname is Song, and he is one of our sincerity insurance customers!"

   "May I ask the current situation of Mr. Song?"

   "Mr. Song passed away last year because he lacked a suitable liver source. By the way, he waited for two years, and he did not wait for a suitable liver source."

   "So does Mr. Song have children?"

   "There is a son who is in high school. Unfortunately, his son took the college entrance examination last year and his grades were good, but Mr. Song has been unable to know his son's college entrance examination results."

   "Thanks for the answer, let's move on to the next one."

   Zhang Wei said, and clicked on the second slide.

   This time a young man appeared, still playing basketball.

   "Representative Cheng, what about this one?"

"This young man, surnamed Yang, is a college student. He should have been the best age, but he was diagnosed with liver cancer in his second year of sophomore year. After 14 months of waiting, he finally got a suitable liver source. It's a pity …”

   Seeing Cheng Liang's hesitation, Zhang Wei immediately answered: "Unfortunately, this young man died in the process of preparing for the operation, and he also had a pair of elderly parents in his family. He is the only child in the family!"

"be opposed to!"

   Listening to Zhang Wei's story, Wang Meiyan finally couldn't sit still.

   "Your Honor, what does the story told by the defense attorney have anything to do with this case?"

   "Lawyer Zhang?" Ni Qiuping raised an eyebrow.

"Your Excellency, the defense wants to demonstrate through these cases that matching liver sources are very rare, and many patients have even experienced longer waiting times than the plaintiffs. And I want to tell everyone in the court that once these patients are cured, they will Will get a longer life than the plaintiff!"

   "This is bullshit, this is obfuscation!"

   In the face of Zhang Wei's rebuttal, Wang Meiyan couldn't bear it immediately, "This is simply an excuse for the defense, and this case has nothing to do with whether or not to cut the queue!"

"If my client can't get a liver source in the near future, she's missing the best time for treatment, and she's dying. Once my client dies, this group of insurance guys can save a lot of money. , I believe everyone here knows what this group of people is thinking!"

   "Lawyer Wang, give me silence!"

   Seeing Wang Meiyan's loud voice in court, Ni Qiuping couldn't help it immediately.

   "And you, Attorney Zhang, bring me both of you!"

  The judge said so, Zhang Wei and Wang Meiyan naturally stepped forward.

   Ni Qiuping took a deep breath and looked at the two of them.

   "You know, because of this case, I've been a little depressed recently!"

   Zhang Wei and Wang Meiyan both blinked, not understanding what the judge meant.

   "In this case, on the one hand, I am very sympathetic to the plaintiff, but my duty as a judge forces me to make a decision that goes against my conscience. It is because of this that I am so depressed. Do you two understand!"

   Zhang Wei and Wang Meiyan both nodded, indicating they understood.

  Ni Qiuping raised a finger and pointed to his seat.

"One more thing, this is where I work, but every day I look at the filth in the courtroom and listen to what people call 'lawyers', these vicious, harmful, filthy cancers Guys, I'm so depressed about the nonsense spewing out of their mouths on my turf, do you two understand!!!"

  Ni Qiuping finally got angry and said some "amazing remarks" that only the three of them could hear.

   "Lawyer Wang, don't force me to change my opinion of you. You know what you black-footed people are!"

   "And you, Attorney Zhang, I've heard of your name, but I hope you don't lower yourself to the same level as your opponent, you understand!"

   Zhang Wei and Wang Meiyan both nodded, but after hearing the judge's words, the two behaved differently.

  Zhang Wei was a little stunned. He didn't expect the judge to have a "menopause" attack in court.

  Wang Meiyan was a little annoyed, why would she be inferior to Zhang Wei in the judge's mouth?

   "Now, the trial continues, and the defense can continue to speak!"

   With Ni Qiuping's announcement, Wang Meiyan could only sit down angrily.

   "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your reminder. Now I have one last question for Representative Cheng."

   Zhang Wei looked at Cheng Liang, "Representative Cheng, I saw a few numbers yesterday, can you tell everyone what those numbers mean?"

"Can!"

Cheng Liang nodded, "The data that Lawyer Zhang saw yesterday is actually very simple. One of the numbers is 24,700, which is the number of patients currently waiting for liver transplants in the medical system, and the second number is 421, which is the number of each patient. specific time to wait.”

   "In other words, there are about 25,000 people in the country who are waiting for liver transplants, and the average waiting time for each person is often more than a year, right?"

"Yes!"

   "Although I am very sympathetic to the plaintiff, I have to ask a question, why does the plaintiff think that she can surpass the thousands or even 10,000 people in front of her, so that she can obtain a suitable liver source earlier than them?"

   As soon as these words came out, the audience was commotion again.

   Zhang Wei's words also caused the six jurors to have the same doubts.

   They only saw the miserable life of the plaintiff, but they did not expect that there are many people in this world who are more miserable than her.

   If they support the plaintiff in this judgment, wouldn't it be unfair to those who came ahead?

   This question made the jurors hesitate.

   Similarly, many people in the hearing box changed their views.

   "That's how it is!"

  Bai Meiqi almost couldn't help standing up, because Zhang Wei actually used this idea to refute the plaintiff.

  You are miserable, right, then I will find someone worse than you!

   You are still alive, but some people have no access to liver source!

   Sure enough, those who can defeat the miserable can only be miserable!
