Chapter 559 Trip to Los Angeles (4)

558 (monthly ticket plus 10)

On January 1, 20 hours after Fu Zhengye was arrested, Los Angeles prosecutors filed felony charges. Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu immediately decided to try them as soon as possible, so the court arranged for an arraignment two days later.

There were still two days in the middle, and they were not idle, and they made an appointment with someone from another case to discuss a settlement.

The other party still asked to go to the hotel where Fu Zhengye's accident happened to negotiate. Fu Shiyu felt that the place was ominous, and insisted on asking the other party to go to the law firm for negotiation, otherwise the case would directly enter the litigation process.

As soon as the words were released, the other party agreed to go to the law firm to negotiate.

Saturday was the Chinese New Year's Eve, but Tang Xi'en and Fu Shiyu were working on Fu Zhengye's case in a foreign country.

There is still an hour until the negotiation.

Tang Xien tied a tie for Fu Shiyu at the hotel, and prepared to go directly from the hotel to the law firm in a while.For the convenience of handling cases, they live in a hotel near the law firm, which is only a 5-minute walk away.

"Today is New Year's Eve. Things are over in the afternoon. Let's go to Chinatown to eat hot pot?" Fu Shiyu suddenly suggested.

Tang Xi'en, who was helping him tie his tie, was surprised, the tie in his hand was almost tied correctly, "If you don't tell me, I forgot that today is New Year's Eve." She smiled and tied his tie in a beautiful knot.

She turned around to get him a suit jacket, and stood behind him to spread out the high-quality jacket. After he put it on, he turned around and pulled the suit on his body.

She suddenly remembered an important thing: "You said that your mother and grandpa will not know about this case, but after Chinese New Year, we both stay in the United States with your father, wouldn't your mother want to come over?"

"I told her that some debts were not returned and I was suing, so we both came to help. She just said that she would go back to her mother's family in the south for the New Year this year."

"This..." Tang Xi'en laughed, "Your mother is easy to deceive."

But Fu Shiyu didn't have any hint of joke on his face: "Because she and grandpa trust us very much, they never thought that the two of us would co-operate with my dad to lie to them."

Who said no?Those who can be deceived are always those who believe in themselves the most, so people should not lie easily and consume others' trust in themselves.

Tang Xi'en didn't know what to say anymore. At this moment, it seemed ironic and inappropriate to say anything.

She quickly changed herself into a smart black suit. Because she was pregnant, she only wore maternity care products, and she hadn't put on makeup for a few days.There must be pale complexion and dull complexion, but it is good for the baby.

Half an hour later, Fu Shiyu walked to the law firm a few hundred meters away with the documents in one hand and Tang Xien in the other.

Overseas Fu's legal business has always been handled by this law firm. This time Fu Zhengye had an accident, the law firm also assigned the best criminal lawyer to him, and today's transnational case was also handled by the law firm's partners in person.

A group of six people entered the meeting room, sat in a row, and waited for the person from the other party to come.

Tang Xien asked Fu Shiyu in a low voice: "I won't talk for a while, if you need my help, just remind me." She is not as familiar with this case as Fu Shiyu, so it is wisest to keep silent.

Fu Shiyu nodded, moved the hand that was on the table under the table, held hers tightly, and said to her in a low voice, "Remember, we will sit around the fire by ourselves at night."

Hot pot has always been Tang Xi'en's favorite, and spending New Year's Eve in a foreign country tonight reminds Tang Xi'en of the loneliness of being homeless during those years of studying, but fortunately, the one he loves has always been together, so the feeling at this moment is very different of.

She leaned her head close to his ear, and said softly: "It's not the two of us, it's our family of three!"

Her voice was very soft, and the air that came out along with those words was also light, brushing against his ears; but these words seemed to weigh a thousand catties, grinding on his heart, it was warm.
.
At ten o'clock, people from the other party came over one after another, three high-level executives and two lawyers.

Fu Shiyu didn't talk nonsense with them, and when they sat down, he immediately got to the point.

Before the other party came, he already knew that Fu Zhengye's son was going to negotiate on his behalf, so seeing Fu Shiyu now, he saw his youth, and thought that he was a soft persimmon just like Fu Zhengye, so he acted a little indifferent.

Fu Shiyu directly asked the other party, what was the reason for refusing to pay the project money?As Tang Xien expected, the other party said that it was because Fu's drilling company delayed the delivery of the project for half a year.

Fu Shiyu then asked Fu Zhengye's assistant to distribute several copies of the agreement to the other party. After reading it, the other party's entire group changed their expressions.

Other drilling companies also had the problem of delayed project delivery, but because the other party did not intend to prepare for bankruptcy at that time and was in a normal operating state, they paid the project payment on schedule.

The high-level executives of the other party argued in a hurry that they had signed extension agreements with those companies, and Fu Shiyu immediately asked them to show the extension agreements as proof.

He is a person with a background in construction and engineering, and he knows that it is impossible for the client to sign such an agreement with the project party, so he has a very tough attitude.

Naturally, the other party couldn't come up with this thing for a while. They came prepared and made a big fuss about the contract signed with Fu, pointing out that Fu's drilling company violated human rights during the project. Therefore, according to the contract, they Payment can be refused.Witnesses were even prepared to testify that there were life-threatening working conditions on the rig that resulted in workers falling from the rig and nearly dying.

The witness came with the medical records of the injury at that time, and after Fu Zhengye's assistant confirmed that there was such an employee, Fu Shiyu briefly went through the medical records brought by the witness.

However, after reading it, he fell into silence.

The person on the other side couldn't help but feel complacent, thinking that the case would be over, and when he thought that the billions of dollars in construction funds would not have to be paid, Fu Shiyu suddenly smiled and asked the witness: "Our drilling rigs are all on land. Excuse me?" The witness was injured at the time, what happened to the seawater in his lungs? After falling from the drilling rig into the sand, did he run hundreds of kilometers into the sea and choked on some seawater before calling the hospital?"

The witness was horrified after hearing this, unable to utter a word, his eyes dodged, and he frequently looked at the opposing lawyer.

Fu Shiyu's complexion suddenly changed, all the smiles on his face subsided, and he threw all the case information brought by the witnesses to the center of the negotiating table.

The other party knew that the general situation was over, and they all carried their bags and prepared to leave. They said that after going back to discuss, they would agree on a time for the negotiation. Fu Shiyu refused firmly, saying that the case was not resolved today, and he would file a lawsuit as soon as possible. It's not just as simple as recovering the project money, it is to recover the compensation from the other party for the occupation of funds during this period of time.

　See you tonight!
