An easygoing person, always laughing in the company no matter what he does. He’s been scolded by Mr. He many tis, yet he never got embarrassed.
But this ti, it’s escalated to such a degree, and he’s even daring to say things like "fire if you can" now.
Does he not know how tough it is to find a job these days?
Xinda offers quite decent benefits. If he does get fired, Old Zheng at his age probably wouldn’t find such a good job easily again.
The colleagues remained silent, and He Haoyu was already in a complete rage.
"I’ll fire you now. Hey, you, process his resignation, not a cent of severance. Aren’t you the legal director? Go ahead and sue us if you can!"
After saying that, He Haoyu turned around and went back to his office, slamming the door shut heavily.
The people present looked at each other, then slowly dispersed, and no one said anything more to Old Zheng.
Of course, if they looked closely, they would have seen that Old Zheng was already smiling.
What a relief, finally able to escape. He didn’t plan to use such drastic ans to resign initially.
Doing it this way, it’d be tough to get a good reference for future job searches, and Xinda certainly wouldn’t speak highly of him.
But there was no choice, Tang Fangjing moved too fast, sending both the settlent agreent and the lawsuit copy simultaneously, so he couldn’t follow the normal resignation process anymore.
The main thing is, resigning on his own ant no severance...
Thinking of this, Old Zheng subconsciously whistled. Better take a close look, companies targeted by Tang Fangjing rarely et a good end.
Better to escape quickly.
anwhile, after entering his office, He Haoyu sat down but still felt very angry.
Already upset by Tang Fangjing’s antics, now he had to face this kind of thing. Being ssed around by a subordinate does make a leader lose face.
Managent is indeed an art; if you always rely on your leader’s position, you’ll eventually run into trouble walking down the path.
Though the anger is strong, the work must go on. Tang Fangjing has already handed over the knife; he must find a way to deal with it.
He Haoyu then notified the secretary: "Call over the two deputy directors from the legal departnt, and also check which lawyer is the strongest on the securities front..."
He didn’t get to this position just by losing his temper. Given the current situation, diation is definitely off the table, and litigation is the only option.
Throughout the litigation process, constantly gaining an advantage might still force the other side into diation.
This is called "fighting to promote peace".
At Jingzhou Interdiate Court, Old Zhang put the case materials down, materials he has been studying for a long ti.
To be fair, that Tang Fangjing always manages to propose so eye-opening insights.
At least in terms of the legal logic in this case, listing the accounting firm as a co-defendant is perfectly fine.
If necessary, consulting the higher court isn’t out of the question given the significance.
Now, the only question is whether Xinda Company will continue to diate.
Sigh, hopefully they won’t diate. Old Zhang really wants to handle this case now.
While thinking, Old Zhang started making phone calls.
In Xinda Company’s office, the deputy legal director responsible for communication picked up the phone: "Hello, oh Judge Zhang, what can I do for you?"
Old Zhang’s voice ca from the phone: "I’m asking if you have any idea of diation for this case?"
Upon hearing this, the deputy director quickly replied: "Judge Zhang, I was just going to inform you, we have no intention of diation for this case, absolutely no possibility of it."
"In the previous case, the other party filed a lawsuit during diation, clearly toying with our Mr. He, so this ti we’re going to respond to the suit, no need to persuade us."
Previously, during communication with He Haoyu, there was concern that the court might still try to persuade them to diate.
So, when Old Zhang called this ti, the deputy clearly stated their stance.
Upon hearing this, Old Zhang’s face revealed a trace of surprise, but soon he said: "Oh, no diation, right? Then I’ll prepare to schedule the hearing."
After hanging up, Old Zhang chuckled. He originally thought he would need to spend so effort persuading them, but didn’t expect Xinda Company to be so cooperative.
anwhile at Xinda Company, the deputy director also chuckled, originally thinking the judge would definitely try persuading, but unexpectedly, it was so cooperative!
In the capital city, at the accounting firm, due to the out-of-province situation, summons copies were mailed, thus received relatively late.
And because no one showed up for diation, the diation agreent was also mailed, except the court called first to inform them the diation was concluded.
Thus, Pan Zhiyuan felt quite pleased.
"I told you not to rush, Xinda Company is more anxious, with them taking the front, what are we worried about."
However, his delight didn’t last long as soone below inford him the firm received another court summons.
Pan Zhiyuan stood dumbfounded; Tang Fangjing was really playing dirty!
"Damn it, everyone says Tang Fangjing is a good person, but that’s nonsense, pretending to diate then imdiately suing. How does soone like him have such a good reputation, nonsense!"
In the office, Pan Zhiyuan paced around, cursing constantly.
Just then, the office door opened, and an assistant walked in.
"Say what you need to quickly!"
The assistant spoke: "Director, the Jingzhou Interdiate Court just called, saying there will be no diation this ti, and they are preparing for a hearing, instructing us to prepare a defense statent."
As per normal procedures, a defense statent must be prepared after receiving the summons copy.
However, due to the diation issue, this step was skipped, now the court made a specific call to notify.
Upon hearing this, Pan Zhiyuan wanted to say sothing but couldn’t find words.
Originally wanting to stay at the back, but there’s no choice now; the summons clearly indicated the plaintiff believes their firm should bear joint responsibility.
Many people don’t quite understand what joint liability ans. In this case, it ans both Xinda Company and the firm have full compensation obligations.
But obviously, the debt is limited, it’s impossible to claim from both sides. So, what’s done in practice is usually a proportional allocation of specific responsibilities.
This allocation is generally done by the court.
If there is no way to distinguish the responsibilities of each party, then it’s equally divided.
If one party is dissatisfied with the allocation, they can further file a lawsuit for internal recovery, but that has nothing to do with the plaintiff.
Now Pan Zhiyuan can only prepare to respond to the lawsuit.
As days passed, at Xinda Company, He Haoyu t a prominent lawyer from Modu.
"Lawyer Lv, it all depends on you this ti. Otherwise, with Tang Fangjing’s usual tactics, if he wins the case, he would definitely post videos online encouraging people to join the suit..."
Of course, He Haoyu actually didn’t think all of their investors would participate, many people aren’t interested in these things.
Not everyone watches Tang Fangjing’s videos.
But even if only fifty percent participate, the company would struggle to withstand.
The securities specialist from Modu, Lv Xiaowan, smiled, "Mr. He, I understand the situation. But this case carries significant risk."
"So, you better be ntally prepared."
He Haoyu nodded, feeling helpless; as the chairman of a listed company, he has been driven to this point.
Now only hoping to win the case... If they lose, he must figure out how to transfer funds before Tang Fangjing initiates a group lawsuit!
Indeed, He Haoyu already had thoughts of quitting.
Although Xinda is a listed company, it has suffered various deficits and massive debt in recent years, barely able to sustain itself.
So he must prepare in advance...
No matter how many people Tang Fangjing mobilizes eventually, even a thousand or two thousand, it won’t help.
Even if they apply for asset preservation, he wouldn’t worry. Courts don’t easily freeze a listed company’s account.
Situations like that between Tencent and Lao Gan Ma are exceptions... no need to think too much.
These plans he couldn’t share with the lawyer; though lawyers have confidentiality obligations, he wouldn’t dare gamble.
Finally, the trial day arrives, at Jingzhou Interdiate Court, Old Tang still ca very early.
This case isn’t particularly difficult; his evidence is extrely strong, no matter how eloquent the opposing lawyer is, his probability of winning remains high.
The challenge lies in what he does after winning.
Since the new "Securities Law" passed, no one had done this in this lifeti, so he took it upon himself to handle this "first case".
Old Zhou, once again, I must apologize to you...
Saying sorry too often seems I’ve beco used to it...
