Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 131 The dust has settled and everyone has their own punishment (please subscribe)
After Xiang Liang finished speaking, Dong Jingguo answered: "Lawyer Xiang Liang, what I need to tell you is that your client, Ms. Tan Qing, committed blackmail and slander, and caused huge losses to Xinghai Group. My left hand The letters above are all resignation letters submitted by Xinghai Group employees during this time period out of sympathy for Ms. Tan Qing. The document on the right is a statistical table of the direct economic losses caused to Xinghai Group by this bad incident."

Dong Jingguo paused slightly, and then continued: "The amount of economic losses this time is not small. Ms. Tan Qing asked for compensation. No, it should be a little more than three times the amount of blackmail prepared, totaling 320 million. This is the basis for sentencing. So. If our client’s son, Zhao Zhixia, is required to come back for a paternity test, then this part of the cost will be included in the total cost and will be used as a reference for sentencing.”

Xiang Liang was silent for a while, glanced towards the audience, then looked at the judge and said: "Judge, we request an adjournment for half an hour."

After the chief judge and the two deputy judges exchanged their opinions, he knocked the gavel and announced a half-hour adjournment.

In the lounge, Tan Qing was sitting on the seat, and in front of her were lawyer Xiang Liang and Cao Xingcheng.

Xiang Liang looked at Tan Qing and asked, "Tan Qing, tell me the truth, is the child in your belly really Zhao Zhixia's? If you say yes, then let Zhao Zhixia come back and do a new paternity test."

Tan Qing grabbed the handkerchief with both hands and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Cao Xingcheng glared at Tan Qing and asked Fang Liang, "Lawyer Fang, if Tan Qing loses the case and I lose the case as well, will I go to jail according to mainland law?"

"Yes, but the time should be about half a year."

"What about me?" Tan Qing raised her head and looked at Fang Liang.

"Starting in five years." Fang Xiangliang glanced at Tan Qing with disgust, even if Tan Qing didn't speak, he knew the answer to the question just now.

"Tan Qing, you can't admit it. If you call Zhao Zhixia back, we still have a few days to prepare. For example, we can sue Xin Zhao for the organization that obtained the aborted babies in private." Cao Xingcheng continued, pulling Tan Qing's clothes : "That child was conceived by you hard. Although it was lost, you are still a mother. How can you tolerate others taking his body tissue without your permission?"

Tan Qing did not speak, but shivered and curled up in her seat.

"Did you hear that? Do as I say." Cao Xingcheng shouted.

There was a knock on the door. This was the law enforcement officers outside who heard what was going on inside. This was a court. If there was any violence, they would be dealt with strictly immediately.

Cao Xingcheng calmed down, and Xiang Liang sighed and said: "Boss Cao, it is not feasible to sue Zhao Xin for obtaining tissue from aborted babies, because aborted babies are treated as medical waste in the hospital, and what is their purpose? It’s evidence collection.”

"That has to take some time, otherwise do you want me to be arrested?" Cao Xingcheng stared in the direction with burning eyes. He felt that mainland lawyers were not professional at all.

"I'll try my best." Xiang Liang agreed.

Half an hour passed by in a flash. After the court reopened, Zhao Yueyue stood up and said, "Tan Qing."

Tan Qing was in a daze and didn't seem to hear Zhao Yueyue's words. In fact, at this moment, everyone in the audience had already understood that Tan Qing was really using the child in her belly to blackmail her.

"Tan Qing, the first vice president of the Baji Club of Peking University." Zhao Yueyue's voice suddenly became louder.

Tan Qing came back to her senses, glanced at Zhao Yueyue, and then quickly lowered her head.

"Defendant's attorney, are you trying to intimidate my client?" Xiang Liang looked at Zhao Yueyue and said.

But Zhao Yueyue ignored him: "Tan Qing, please tell me, do you want to conduct a paternity test under the official witness?"

"Defendant's attorney, we will definitely conduct a paternity test." Xiang Liang said.

At this time, the gavel struck, and the judge said: "The plaintiff's lawyer should not make the decision for the plaintiff, let the plaintiff make the decision."

"Plaintiff Tan Qing, do you want a paternity test? If you want a paternity test, you will have to serve at least one more year in prison if you lose the case," the judge reminded.

Tan Qing still didn't speak, just lowered her head.

"Ms. Tan Qing, we will count down. After the countdown is over, we will default to you for a paternity test," the judge said.

The electronic clock specially used for countdown on the wall started, and the 1-minute countdown time was passing by second by second.

Tan Qing raised her head, looked around, and then looked at the countdown with only 30 seconds left.

She stood up, looked at the judge and said, "There's no need to do a paternity test. The biological father of the child is indeed not Zhao Zhixia. Announce my sentence!"

Tan Qing closed her eyes. After that night, she was looking forward to it for a long time.But her menstruation came after only seven days, so she had other thoughts.

She may not love Zhao Zhixia that much, but she has 'loved' Zhao Zhixia throughout the university and throughout her graduate career.

A love that may have been false at the beginning, but it has become real after so many years.Furthermore, at this time, she may have nothing left but the good memories of the Baji Club in college.

She didn't want Zhao Zhixia to come back and kill the only good things left in her memories.

"Judge, pronounce the sentence!" Tan Qing repeated.

Xiang Liang opened his mouth but did not speak. Cao Xingcheng left the audience angrily, but before leaving, he was informed that the court session against him by Xinghai Group would be held in the afternoon.

"Judge, can I add a few words?" Zhao Yueyue allegedly said.

After the judge agreed, Zhao Yueyue looked at Tan Qing and said, "Money and silk touch people's hearts. This is the only way I can understand your behavior. Zhixia and Wentong called and said they hoped to be held less accountable so that you could stay in there for two less years." Tan Qing, your blackmail is a private matter and our family will not pursue it, but you and Cao Xingcheng are in cahoots, so the losses caused to Xinghai Group must be investigated."

Tan Qing didn't speak, and didn't even look back at Zhao Yueyue.

"Judge, I've finished." Zhao Yueyue sat down again, and the three judges began to discuss.

Ten minutes later, the judge announced that Tan Qing was sentenced to three years in prison.

Cao Xingcheng, who left the venue early, immediately returned to his hotel and started calling the island with his phone.

He wanted to ask for help, and the person who answered his call at this moment was a certain minister who organized the island's businessmen to go to the mainland for inspection.

After asking for help, the minister became very angry. While reprimanding Cao Xingcheng, he also made it clear that he had control over the matter.

After all, although he organized the businessmen to go to the mainland for inspection, the initial news came from the mainland.

How can his people be sentenced there?

Cao Xingcheng felt relieved a little. He thought about it and made another call to Xinghai Group.

After some transfers, it was only connected to Xin Zhao.

In the courtyard, He Yuzhu has not left yet. At this moment, he is busy cooking in the kitchen.After all, it’s not easy to come here, and you still have to show off your skills.

Xin Zhao listened to Cao Xingcheng's slightly condescending tone begging for forgiveness in the study.

"Haha." Xin Zhao laughed and hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Cao Xingcheng was stunned.He spoke for 5 minutes and stated that he was willing to pay him [-] yuan as compensation, but Xin Zhao only replied "haha" and then hung up the phone.

If it hadn't been for that last 'haha', he would have doubted whether it was Xin Zhao who answered the phone. "Boss, Lawyer Fang is back." A subordinate said at this time.

"Please come in quickly." Cao Xingcheng said quickly.

After Xiang Liang came in, he discussed the subsequent punishment with Cao Xingcheng. When he heard that Xinghai Group would not pursue private matters, Tan Qing only sentenced him to three years.

Cao Xingcheng said with a cold face: "I didn't expect that I was tricked by a woman."

After the two talked for a while, the phone rang again. This was a call from the island.

After the two exchanged words, Cao Xingcheng's face darkened.

The minister he asked for help indeed helped him.

It was said that he would stay in jail for fifteen days and then pay 300 million yuan in compensation, otherwise he would probably go to jail.

After all, the minister actually questioned him harshly, he had done a lot of things in the capital, and was caught by the Xinghai Group, and he showed all kinds of losses.

Cao Xingcheng responded with a cold smile, "Fifteen days, 300 million."

If it hadn't been for fifteen days, he might have just gritted his teeth and paid.But with these fifteen days, how could he give in?

Cao Xingcheng immediately discussed with Xiang Liang, considering various situations in the afternoon.

Neither of them had lunch, so they could only deal with it briefly in the car on the way to the hospital.

The court session started on time in the afternoon. Bu Wenbing, the legal department manager of Xinghai Group, sat in the plaintiff's seat. His lawyer was still Dong Jingguo.

Cao Xingcheng, who had been watching the battle in the morning, sat in the defendant's seat, and his lawyer was Fang Liang.

Cao Xingcheng gritted his teeth involuntarily as he looked at the infantry soldiers sitting on the plaintiff's seat.He thought it would at least be Xin Zhao's daughter, but it turned out that an employee came.

With the foundation laid in the morning, Cao Xingcheng's defeat in this lawsuit has long been doomed. The key to the problem is how much responsibility Cao Xingcheng bears for the losses caused to Xinghai Group.

At the prison gate, Tan Qing took out 300 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu, who brought it to her as a salute.

"Sister Qin, this money is given to you as a thank you for these days. Thank you also for not disliking me." Tan Qing couldn't help but hug Qin Huairu.

After forcing the money into Qin Huairu's hand, Qin Huairu was a little dazed, but Tan Qing had already carried her luggage into the prison.

Xin Zhao is reading a book while in the courtroom.

Cao Xingcheng was as dejected as a defeated chicken because the reporter who followed him to interview Tan Qing actually bit him and even provided some recordings.This is used to prove that Cao Xingcheng was the mastermind in spreading rumors and slander.

After all, Tan Qing's matter was originally a private matter, but it was Cao Xingcheng who caused a stir in the city.

"I was used. I was used by Tan Qing. Tan Qing is the mastermind." Cao Xingcheng said hysterically.

The judge knocked the gavel and asked: "Defendant Cao Xingcheng, do you accept all the things and evidence that the reporter just presented?"

Cao Xingcheng was silent for a while and said, "Yes."

He didn't dare to say it was wrong, after all, there were complete witnesses and physical evidence.

The three judges deliberated for another 10 minutes, and finally the chief judge looked at Cao Xingcheng and said: "Plaintiff and defendant, considering that defendant Cao Xingcheng is a Taiwanese businessman, he has certain special characteristics. Therefore, the court provided three sentences. One of them was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Pay any compensation."

Cao Xingcheng was shocked when he heard this, but then the judge explained: "The reason for this penalty is because Mr. Cao Xingcheng's wealth is not in the mainland, and there is a possibility that he will not pay compensation."

"Second, he is sentenced to half a month in prison and 500 million yuan in compensation."

"Third, he was sentenced to three years in prison and 300 million yuan in compensation."

Cao Xingcheng swallowed and murmured to himself: "This is different from what my leader said. Why is it 200 million more expensive?"

"Boss, there are reporters who betrayed you." Xiang Liang reminded in a low voice.Cao Xingcheng understood that this should be the backup plan prepared by Xinghai Group.

Under the urging of the judge, Cao Xingcheng shouted distressedly: "I choose the second one."

The judge pronounced that Cao Xingcheng will stay in jail for half a month and will also have to pay 500 million yuan in compensation.Only after paying compensation can you be released from prison after fifteen days, otherwise you will have to continue to stay in prison.

If compensation is not paid for one day, Cao Xingcheng will not be able to get out for one day and will not be released until 30 years later.

In the courtyard, Zhao Xin received a call from his daughter, and he also learned about Cao Xingcheng's final penalty.

"Half a month and 500 million." Zhao Xin couldn't help but curl his lips. He was not satisfied with this penalty.Half a month is about the same as half a year, but after thinking about it, I think it's appropriate.

After all, this is a critical time for reform and opening up. If foreigners are really detained for a long time, some people will re-examine the matter of investing in the mainland.

In the evening, a new newspaper comes out.

Yueyue Literature was the first newspaper to publish a newspaper, and it did not describe the process of the lawsuit in any length.It just reported the penalties of Tan Qing and Cao Xingcheng at the front, and wrote this paragraph in the back.

"Capital does produce a lot of evil, as can be seen in the two lawsuits of Xinghai Group. But we cannot give up eating meat because it will make us fat."

Inside Xinghai Building, Lou Xiaoe also sent a public email in the name of Xin Zhao.The title is "Don't forget your original intention."

In the email, he affirmed the "original intention" of the resigning employees and hoped that the employees would retain this original intention of serving the country and the people.Because this is a necessary quality for making people great and making companies great.

Only when you have energy in your heart can you achieve great things.

Xinghai Group aims at the future. If one day the managers of Xinghai Group forget their original intentions, all employees can remind them.

The original intention of Xinghai Group is to lead the future of mankind and become a great company.

The next morning, Xin Zhao went to work in Xinghai Building.

All employees greeted Xin Zhao warmly, and he responded one by one.He found that after such twists and turns, the already young Xinghai Group became more energetic.

It seems that at this moment, the employees of the Xinghai Group really returned to their hearts.

Xin Zhao also had a smile on his lips. He came to the office and handled the company's affairs with Lou Xiao'e.

Three days later, the Xinghai Mailbox development team reported that the Xinghai Mailbox function had been developed and files could be sent.
