In the Meng familyâs office building, Meng Si was admiring her new manicure when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, she did not pick it up and hung up.
In less than five minutes, another call came in. Meng Si was about to lose her temper when the assistant knocked on the door and entered, looking very flustered.
âDirector Meng, did you answer the call just now?â The assistant asked, âItâs about our companyâs new robot product next month. Itâs better for you to answer it.â
Meng Si received dozens of calls a month asking her company to cooperate with her to develop a new robot. However, her company had no intention of sharing the robot program, so Meng Si always had a superior attitude when she answered the phone.
âHello,â Meng Si picked up the phone. Before the other party could speak, she said directly, âIâm sorry. We donât have the intention to cooperate in the development of robots for the time being. If we have the intention in the future, we will contact you.â
However, she did not hear the request for cooperation on the other end of the phone. She only heard a man say, âIâm sorry, Ms. Meng Si. Iâm Lawyer Zhang from the Capital Law Firm. I didnât call today to work with you on robots. Itâs just that Mr. Wu has entrusted our firm to inform you and your company of some things.â
Lawyer Zhang told him about Professor Wuâs request and expressed his intention to take back the robot program. Although Lawyer Zhangâs tone was friendly, his attitude was very firm. Meng Si listened for five minutes and did not find a chance to interrupt.
âMs. Meng, is there anything else you donât understand about what I just said?â Lawyer Zhang asked.
Meng Si was dumbfounded. Her mind was a mess. Theft of someone elseâs work? Invalid contract? Illegal behavior? She really didnât understand what was going on.
But there was one thing she heard clearly, and that was that the robot program they were using now had to be stopped immediately.
âMr. Lawyer, our company signed a five-year contract with Ms. Liu Xing, but itâs only been two years. Now, you want to take back the robot program with a phone call.â Meng Si asked furiously.
She couldnât be blamed for being angry, because this robot program was an important support for her to have a place in the Meng family. If it werenât for this program, she might not have been so valued by her grandfather.
At that time, Liu Xingâs transaction partner was not the entire Meng family, but Meng Si herself. Meng Si handed the item over to Old Master Meng, which was why Old Master Meng put Meng Si in an important position. If it was not for this item, Meng Si would definitely be put back to her position as a nobody.
Meng Si couldnât accept such an outcome. No matter what, she wanted the best things. There were so many young ladies in the Capital, and only she had received the attention of the family, so she absolutely couldnât lose everything she had now.
âBecause Liu Xing stole someone elseâs work, the contract you signed is invalid.â Lawyer Zhangâs tone was very serious. âYou donât have to doubt whether what we said is true or not. We will make this matter public in the future. In order to minimize your companyâs losses, we reminded you in advance. If I were you, 1 would find the swindler and ask her to compensate for the loss.â
Meng Si was a little flustered. At first, she was a little suspicious, but she felt that no swindler would lie to the Meng family.
âMr. Lawyer, letâs discuss this matter again. Please invite Mr. Wu over. Iâll treat him to a meal. I think thereâs still room for negotiation regarding the contract.â Meng Si could no longer display her haughty attitude, so she could only lower her stance and maintain the contract.
âMiss Meng, Iâm just a lawyer. Weâll tell you whatever the client wants. Iâm just informing you today, so youâd better be prepared. In the next few days, we will have a specialized lawyer to deal with this matter.â
Meng Si wanted to say something more, but Lawyer Zhang was very busy. He hung up after saying a few words.
Old Professor Wu sat opposite the lawyer with an ugly expression. âLawyer Zhang, Iâll leave this matter to you. Donât worry about the lawyerâs fees. We will pay you handsomely.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lawyer Zhang smiled and said, âMr. Wu, this is my job. Iâll do my best..â
