my wife is a consul

Chapter 18 Claims

In the morning, I drank the medicinal soup made by Mrs. Zhen, and my mouth was still bitter. When I went downstairs, I went to the laundry, and I was not polite. I went directly to the refrigerator in the back room and took a bottle of "De Le" aluminum can soda to drink. , orange flavor, sweet and sour, the taste is not bad.

Although Pamela is down and out, and even has a lot of debts, she still maintains a middle-class life on the surface, and she has a refrigerator at home.

But Bisi knew at a young age that her family was going bankrupt and she was going to be a child laborer. It was really painful to think about it.

The soft drinks and milk in the refrigerator were all prepared by Pamela for Bess.

"Uncle, do you also like to drink soda?" Seeing Lu Ming drinking his own things, Bisi was overjoyed, she leaned over her face and smiled like a flower bone, showing her small gaping teeth that were changing teeth, very cute.

"Mom also said that if you drink too much soda, you will grow into a big fat man!"

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Well, what your mother said is wrong. Children should eat and drink. Eat whatever is delicious. If you manage your diet at such a young age, will you still have a happy childhood?"

Pan Mila, who was walking out, saw this scene, frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Lu, please don't teach the children indiscriminately."

It is estimated that seeing this guy talking nonsense and teaching his daughter bad, he was very angry, but it is not easy to attack.

Lu Ming coughed and said, "Let's go!"

Pamela has obviously been well-groomed, her face probably has just had a face mask, it is as tender as water, and the long brown eyelashes on her deep blue eyes are highlighted one by one, very shiny, slightly upturned, very attractive; red lips It is so bright that it makes people want to suck it hard. The golden wavy hairstyle is very similar to Monroe's. It is sexy and delicate. With a ruby ​​red tutu skirt, this Western beauty is also a superb beauty, but it is not the same as Zhen's oriental beauty. The charm is very different.

After coming out of the laundry, Lu Ming threw the car keys to her, "You drive."

Xuelong Phantom was parked in the alley next to the laundry shop. Pamela hesitated for a moment, then took the keys to pick up the car.

Lu Ming wasn't showing off, it was actually tiring to drive, and with his body, he tried his best not to work as much as he could.

……

The curvaceous supercar was fast, and soon stopped at the downstairs of the Ji Bird Building.

Lu Ming shook his head, it was the Ji Bird Building again.

The two largest law firms in Beiguan are both located in the Ji Niao Building.

Liu Hanxuan's office is on the fourth floor, and Tang Li's law firm, which we are going to face this time, is on the eighth floor.

In a short period of time, he had to fight against the two largest law firms in Beiguan.

In the future, when someone writes a memoir for himself, the beginning seems to be very extraordinary.

Tang-Lee Law Firm is the law firm acting as an intermediary for Fengshun Trading Company, which sells washing machines to Pamela.

I made an appointment yesterday to meet with the representative of Fengshun Trading Company here today.

The reception room of Tang-Lee Law Firm is as spacious and luxurious as that of Liu Hanxuan's.

Similarly, Lu Ming and Pan Mila sat for more than ten minutes before footsteps could be heard outside. The glass door opened, and four or five people entered in a file. Sit down opposite, very oppressive.

"Lawyer Lu Qianxing, I'm Charlie Tang!" The middle-aged man with a calm demeanor who was sitting on the opposite side from the left stood up and shook hands with Lu Ming.

Hearing the name, Lu Ming frowned slightly, but thinking about it, the colony that has been ruled for thousands of years can't be too harsh on the people here.

Pan Mila bit her red lips and stared at a woman on the opposite side. She turned sideways and whispered to Lu Ming, "That lady with freckles is the one who lied to me. She is the sales manager of SF Trading, and her surname is Wang."

Lu Ming nodded. Pan Mila's upbringing since she was a child is good for hypocrisy and whatever she says, but she is indeed very qualified and doesn't say bad words easily.

After shaking hands with each other with a smile, Lu Ming sat down with a straight posture, his face immediately became serious, and said in a deep voice:
"Lawyer Tang, first of all, I reject your law firm's irresponsible behavior of sending a lawyer's letter on behalf of my client. In addition, I reserve the right to report your behavior to the Donghai Bar Association."

The scene changed abruptly, and the other party was stunned. No one could have imagined that this handsome and amiable young lawyer suddenly became extremely ruthless, and the opening scene was a blow of a hammer.

Pang Mila was also dumbfounded, and said to herself that it was you, you are simply a man with thousands of faces, you are too scary, right?
"Lawyer Lu, my client agrees to meet with you this time. It can be said that he is quite sincere. Please don't scare us and spoil the atmosphere of our meeting." Charlie Tang frowned.

Lu Ming waved his hand: "Lawyer Tang, I'm not scaremongering. My client has never publicized the details of the dispute with SF Trading Company to anyone other than her consulting lawyer. You sent a lawyer's letter for no reason, which is a disservice to my client. Intimidation has affected the life of my client and is an abuse of the right to a lawyer letter."

"Lawyer Lu, I know that you took some advantage by singing against Liu Hanhuang's firm just now, but this is not Liu Hanxuan's firm, and I'm not Cheng Ye!" Tang Charlie frowned even more, with dissatisfaction on his face. "I barely persuaded my client to take the precious time to meet with you, not to listen to your nonsense."

Lu Ming nodded inwardly. No wonder, when the call came, the other party agreed to meet up. It turned out that there were some reasons of his own.

It's no wonder that the circle of lawyers is very small. I played against Liu Hanhuang's firm a few days ago, which directly caused the case to be dismissed. It should have made the practitioners in this industry know about me. After all, there are only a few law firms in Beiguan?
What's more, Li Guan directly asked her to have a drink, and it probably spread all over these law firms. That weird little old lady, I guess many lawyers feel a headache for her, and few people can get her favor.

But no matter what, let’s talk about Tang Charlie in front of me. Although he agrees with the two parties to meet and reconcile, he doesn’t necessarily think highly of himself, a rookie lawyer. Probably, he wants to give himself some color, and at the same time, he is also giving them the biggest Opponent Liu Hanxuan's office took eye drops.

Looking at Tang Charlie, Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Okay, nonsense, right?" Then, he took out a piece of paper and pushed it over the table, "This is the compensation figure my client requested."

Tang Charlie sneered, picked up the piece of paper, and suddenly frowned, "Lawyer Lu, I think you are crazy!"

Beside him, the Ms. Wang from SF Express came over to take a look, and said in a voiceless voice, "2500 yuan?"

Charlie Tang stood up and said to Ms. Wang: "Manager Wang, I don't think we need to continue the conversation. The other party not only refuses to admit his mistake, but instead seeks compensation from you. We'll see you in court!"

"If you go to court, you will lose more, and we will get more figures. Moreover, SF Trading, and your Tang-Li Law Firm, will also bear the loss of reputation. An old trading firm sells fake and inferior products. A An old-fashioned law firm, working as a minion to oppress good people." Lu Ming took a sip of coffee slowly.

"Why are we selling fake and shoddy products? Mrs. Pamela already knew they were second-hand!" Ms. Wang stared at Lu Ming with fierce triangular eyes.

Tang Charlie on the side advised him in a low voice, saying don't talk too much with the other party, just let us go to court, but Ms. Wang ignored him.

"Don't listen to this foreign woman's lies. I never promised how long that washing machine will last!"

Ms. Wang's words became more and more ugly, and she sneered, "Can you talk nonsense because you have a pretty face?"

Lu Ming was suddenly surprised to find that Pan Mila didn't dare to meet Ms. Wang's eyes, and was stunned. It turned out that this Ms. Wang might have never made a verbal promise with her.

After being deceived, for the sake of face, she said that she had promised her how long it would last, right?
But at this moment when facing the other party directly, Pamela may suddenly realize that it is difficult to lie to the person involved, it takes a lot of courage, and it requires a thick skin, so she looks a little ashamed.

Lu Ming looked at her, and suddenly found it funny, you little horse, I thought that although you have a bad temper and a bit of racism, at least you are very honest, in line with the moral standards of Western nobles for themselves, why, Lie too?
"Lawyer Lu, I'm sorry, we, let's go..." Pamela turned her head and said in a low voice. For the first time, she seemed very timid, and she wanted to get up after speaking.

"Don't worry!..." Lu Ming patted her arm, signaling her to sit down.

In fact, whether there is a verbal promise or not, based on my own understanding of the case, is not important.

It's just that whether it's Pam Mila or Ms. Wang, they're both biased, thinking that verbal promises are the key.

Lu Ming looked at Ms. Wang, "Do you have a verbal promise, but the behavior of selling fake and inferior products exists. In the sale of goods, there is a principle called the implied warranty of merchantability. That is to say, the quality of goods sold must be guaranteed. Common sense, although this large washing machine is second-hand, in the contract you signed, my client has made it clear that this washing machine is used to open a laundry shop. , I bought this washing machine just to open a laundry shop for a month, right?"

Ms. Wang was confused and looked at Tang Charlie.

Tang Charlie also frowned, "What principle?"

Lu Ming smiled, "The implied warranty of merchantability, Lawyer Tang, I'll give you time, and you can go and look it up now. In April of this year, a case in the state of Newtown was filed by Justice Smith of the state's Third Circuit Court. The principle of implied warranty of merchantability is established to solve the sales behavior with unclear terms in the sales contract, so as to protect the interests of consumers."

"This principle, that is to say, the quality of the product sold must meet the consumer's expectations for its use. For example, I bought a pair of new pants to wear, but it broke in one day. As long as the merchant's sales contract does not say this The quality of the pants is only guaranteed for one day, and the responsibility lies with the merchant, who must refund."

"Similarly, it is stated in the contract that my client bought this large washing machine to open a shop, not as a waste product. Then, if it broke down in less than a month, the responsibility is your seller. After all, my client paid a Is the annual rent, plus hiring workers, decoration, etc., just to open a laundry for a month? This is not in line with common sense.”

"According to the maintenance records, the washing machine is a key component that has aged long ago. Therefore, it is not caused by my party's improper use. According to the principle of implied warranty of merchantability, the responsibility lies entirely with your merchant."

"This principle was also reflected in the trial of some cases. However, Judge Smith clarified this principle. I think it will soon become a guiding case for all similar cases. I believe that the justices of Beiguan will not The case will be ignored."

Tang Charlie had a sullen face, and Ms. Wang next to him asked anxiously, "Is it true? Really?" She couldn't understand what Lu Ming was saying, but she could understand the meaning that was not good for her.

"Wait a moment..." Tang Charlie barely comforted Ms. Wang, turned around and hurried out.
