Chapter 873 A Sudden Change in the Law

When the Indian officials came to their senses, the leader instantly became angry and humiliated.

He pointed at Zhang Yue and said in a trembling voice: "How dare you be so arrogant!

Okay, okay, do you really think you can win in court?
Innocent!

We’ll see then!”

After saying that, he left angrily with a group of people.

Zhang Yue looked at the direction they left with disdain in his eyes, and turned to Xiao Wang and said, "Don't bother with these clowns.

As long as we carry out the testing properly and have an authoritative test report, we will see how they can quibble. "

Xiao Wang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have contacted several authoritative testing agencies in the industry, and they said they will arrange for personnel to come for testing as soon as possible."

In the following days, Zhang Yue and Xiao Wang devoted themselves to the preparation and follow-up of the testing work.

They worked closely with the inspection agency, provided all relevant information about the project, and accompanied the inspection personnel throughout the process to conduct detailed inspections of all parts of the project.

At the same time, India's official smear campaign in the media has intensified.

Some people who did not know the truth began to question Zhang Yue's team, and even some partners called to inquire about the situation, which put Zhang Yue under tremendous pressure.

But Zhang Yue always believed that the truth would eventually come out. He continued to comfort his team members and encouraged them to remain confident and overcome this difficulty together.

After several days of intense and rigorous testing, the testing agency finally issued a detailed test report.

The report shows that Zhang Yue's team's project fully complies with quality standards and does not contain any of the problems pointed out by Indian officials.

The moment he received the report, Xiao Wang was extremely excited.

Zhang Yue held the report tightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "Xiao Wang, with this, we have the weapon to fight back.

Contact the media immediately to hold a press conference. I want everyone to know the ugly face of the Indian officials. "

At the press conference, Zhang Yue stood on the podium with a serious and confident expression.

He showed the inspection report to the media reporters present and described in detail the difficulties the project encountered from its start to completion.

In particular, the Indian government deliberately delayed the disbursement of funds, and later made groundless accusations of quality issues in the project.

Media reporters recorded the incident and expressed sympathy for Zhang Yue's experience, while also condemning the actions of the Indian officials.

After the press conference, major media outlets quickly reported on the incident.

The direction of public opinion changed instantly, and the original doubts about Zhang Yue's team turned into criticism and accusations against Indian officials.

Seeing that the public opinion situation was unfavorable to them, the Indian officials began to panic.

They tried to salvage the situation by various means, but it was too late.

But Zhang Yue did not give up. He decided to take legal action to protect the legitimate rights and interests of himself and his team.

Not only were they required to immediately pay the overdue project fees, but they were also required to compensate for the economic losses caused to the team due to malicious harassment and slander.

half a month later.

International official court.

Zhang Yue and his legal team arrived on time.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Zhang Yue said, "Lawyer He, I'll leave today's lawsuit to you."

Lawyer He nodded slightly, his eyes calm and firm: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, our team has made full preparations and will do our best."

Walking into the courtroom, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

The Indian official representatives have also taken their seats. They look gloomy and there is a hint of panic in their eyes.

At the beginning of the trial, Lawyer He spoke first, clearly explaining the hard work of Zhang Yue's team in the project and the serious breach of contract by the Indian authorities in the allocation of funds.

He cited detailed evidence, including records of communication with Indian officials, collection letters from suppliers, relevant documents on bank loans, etc. Each piece of evidence was like a sharp blade, pointing directly at the Indian officials' breach of trust and malice.

“Your Honor, my client, Mr. Zhang Yue, and his team have always upheld integrity and professionalism throughout the project and have overcome numerous difficulties.

However, Indian officials delayed the payment of project funds with various excuses, causing the project to almost come to a halt, bringing huge economic losses and mental stress to the team.

Now, they are fabricating problems with the quality of the project in an attempt to evade payment responsibilities. This behavior is a blatant violation of business ethics and legal dignity."

Lawyer He's voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the courtroom.

Upon seeing this, the Indian official lawyer hurriedly stood up and refuted.

But their words seemed pale and powerless, unable to effectively counter the evidence presented by Lawyer He.

They repeatedly emphasized the so-called "quality issues" but failed to provide any substantial evidence.

Zhang Yue sat in the gallery, his eyes fixed on everything happening in the courtroom, feeling both nervous and expectant.

He knew very well that this lawsuit was not only about the recovery of project funds, but also about the reputation and dignity of the team.

As the trial progressed, the judge began to carefully review the evidence presented by both parties.

Sometimes he lowered his head to read documents, and sometimes he looked up to ask questions to the lawyers on both sides, his expression serious and focused.

After a few hours, the trial entered the final debate stage.

Lawyer He once again emphasized the mistakes of the Indian officials and the legitimate rights and interests of Zhang Yue's team, and called on the court to make a fair judgment.

Indian official lawyers are still making a last-ditch effort to try to save the situation.

Finally, the judge stood up, banged the gavel, and announced a recess for deliberation.

Zhang Yue and Xiao Wang were waiting nervously, their palms sweating.

Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed so long.

Finally, the judge returned to the court and announced the verdict.

“After deliberation, this court believes that the evidence provided by the plaintiff, Mr. Zhang Yue, and his team is sufficient and the facts are clear.

The defendant, the Indian government, committed serious breach of contract in the disbursement of project funds, and the quality issues it raised lacked factual basis.

The judgment is as follows:
The defendant, the Indian government, must pay all the project fees owed to the plaintiff within ten days and compensate the plaintiff for the economic losses totaling 5692145 yuan caused by malicious harassment and slander.

The costs of the litigation shall be borne by the defendant.”

When Xiao Wang heard the verdict, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

He looked at Zhang Yue, tears of joy flashing in his eyes: "Boss Zhang, we won! We finally won!"

There was warm applause in the courtroom and media reporters gathered around to interview Zhang Yue.

Facing the camera, Zhang Yue said with emotion: "The victory in this lawsuit is not only a recognition of our team's efforts, but also a maintenance of fairness and justice.

I hope that through this incident, more people will see that integrity and law are indispensable cornerstones in business activities.”

The Indian official representatives were livid. They had not expected to lose so completely. The leading official glared at Zhang Yue fiercely and left the court with a group of people in disgrace.

Walking out of the court, the sunlight shone on Zhang Yue's face and he felt extremely relaxed and refreshed.

He knew that the long struggle had finally come to an end and the team could embark on a new journey.

"Boss Zhang, what are our plans next?" Xiao Wang asked excitedly.

Zhang Yue looked into the distance, his eyes full of hope: "Next, we will naturally sum up our experience and lessons, continue to expand our business, and develop our team better.

I believe that as long as we persist in integrity and hard work, the future will be even better.”

Time passes slowly.

Soon, two months had passed since the lawsuit between Zhang Yue and the Indian government.

However, Zhang Yue was not happy at all.

the reason is simple.

Two months later, he still hadn't received the project payment from the Indian government.

Xiao Wang found Zhang Yue again: "Boss Zhang, what should we do?
The Indian authorities are clearly trying to cheat.”

Zhang Yue snorted coldly: "You are playing tricks. In this case, we will apply to the court for compulsory execution.

You contact Lawyer He immediately. We must not show any leniency this time."

After receiving the news, Lawyer He quickly rushed to meet with Zhang Yue.

He carefully read the complaint submitted by the Indian government, his brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed,

After a moment, he raised his head and said with a firm look: "Mr. Zhang, their lawsuit seems to be aggressive, but it is full of loopholes.

The previous authoritative inspection report is the most powerful weapon of counterattack, and we also have detailed records of the entire project and witness materials from all parties.

They are simply wishful thinking if they want to turn the tables by this trick.”

Zhang Yue took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Lawyer He, I'll ask you to do your best to deal with it.

This time we will not only make them pay the construction fee and compensation, but also make them pay a greater price for their rogue behavior."

Lawyer He nodded slightly and led his team to start the intensive preparations again.

They re-examined all the evidence and made detailed rebuttals and evidence one by one to the accusations made by the Indian officials regarding so-called "substandard project quality".

At the same time, they also collected relevant evidence of the Indian officials' deliberate delay and malicious slander in previous lawsuits.

It is prepared to be submitted together in the new lawsuit to prove that the Indian officials have acted deliberately to make things difficult and in bad faith.

Soon, the day for the next court session arrived.

In the courtroom, the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to ignite the air.

The Indian official representative had a smug look on his face, as if he was sure of victory, while Zhang Yue had a stern expression, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.

When the trial began, the Indian official lawyer spoke first. He listed various details of the so-called "project quality problems" in an endless stream, trying to convince the judge of their accusations.

However, Attorney He was not moved at all. He stood up and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Your Honor, these so-called 'quality issues' raised by the other party are pure nonsense.

We have a detailed report from an authoritative testing agency, which clearly shows that the project fully complies with quality standards.

Moreover, during the entire construction process, we strictly carried out construction in accordance with the contract requirements, and each process has detailed records and acceptance reports.

On the other hand, the other party has already admitted in the previous lawsuit that they have defaulted on the project payment, and now they have fabricated these unfounded charges, their purpose is nothing more than to evade legal responsibility and continue to cheat. "

As he spoke, Lawyer He presented each piece of evidence to the judge and explained them one by one.

These evidences include test reports, engineering records, acceptance reports, emails and meeting minutes of communications with Indian officials, etc. Each one is clear and irrefutable.

Upon seeing this, the Indian official lawyer's face turned very ugly. He tried to refute, but was countered by Lawyer He with reasons and evidence every time.

His words began to become flustered and full of loopholes.

The judge listened carefully to the statements and arguments of both parties and carefully reviewed the evidence provided by both parties.

After some careful consideration, the judge adjourned the court for deliberation.

Xiao Wang sat in the audience, his palms full of sweat, feeling nervous and full of anticipation.

He knew that the outcome of this lawsuit not only affected whether the project funds and compensation could be obtained smoothly, but also whether the team's reputation and dignity could be defended.

A few hours later, the judge returned to the courtroom, banged the gavel, and announced the verdict:
“After deliberation by this court, we believe that the evidence provided by the plaintiff, Mr. Zhang Yue, and his team is sufficient and conclusive, and the facts are clear.

The accusation of "substandard project quality" raised by the defendant Indian officials lacks factual basis and is purely malicious slander.

The judgment is as follows:
The original judgment was upheld and the defendant, the Indian government, was required to pay all the project fees owed to the plaintiff within five days and compensate the plaintiff for the economic losses totaling 8725472 yuan caused by malicious obstruction, defamation and repeated malicious litigation.

At the same time, in view of the dishonest behavior of the defendant Indian officials, such as deliberate delay and malicious litigation, they will be fined accordingly as a punishment. "

Upon hearing the verdict, there was warm applause in the courtroom.

Zhang Yue also laughed very happily.

But the next moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Because Zhang Yue found that the Indian official representative was still sitting on the chair, looking relaxed.

It was as if they were not the ones who lost the lawsuit.

Zhang Yue was just wondering when he heard the Indian official representative stand up and say to the judge: "Your Honor, there are many problems with your verdict."

The Indian official representative stood up, a provocative smile appeared on his lips, he looked directly at the judge, and said arrogantly:
"Your Honor, there are many problems with your ruling.

Not long ago, our parliament urgently revised the "Cross-border Engineering Dispute Settlement Law", and new clauses were added to clearly stipulate that the final quality decision-making power involving foreign-funded projects belongs to our exclusive technical committee.

The test report you just cited is authoritative, but it does not meet the procedural requirements of our country’s new law.”

After that, he pulled out a document with a gold-stamped cover from his briefcase and slammed it on the table:

"Here is the full text of the new law and the revised approval document. Please take a look."

The courtroom fell into silence. Reporters raised their cameras and shutter clicks rang out one after another.

Zhang Yue's pupils suddenly shrank. He clearly remembered that during the last trial, the Indian officials never mentioned any changes in the law.

Lawyer He stood up suddenly, veins popping out on his forehead: "This is clearly a temporary legal trap!

The retroactive effect of the new law seriously violates international law practices. Our embassy in India has never received any relevant notifications! "

The judge's brows were knitted into a "川" shape, and his fingertips rubbed the gavel for a long time. Finally, he said in a deep voice: "This court needs to verify the applicability of the new law. The court is adjourned for two hours."

As he turned to leave, his robe swept across the teacup on the edge of the table, and the brown liquid left a glaring stain on the verdict. (End of this chapter)
