Ever since Xia Xingruo found out that the second aunt Zhang Mingyang was sitting in the accounting office, she was extra cautious every time she passed by.

She hasn't settled her future mother-in-law yet, but she has settled her second aunt first.

Yan Rong was very satisfied with her nephew-in-law and often bought various things for Xia Xingruo. Rather than saying she was a nephew-in-law, she felt like she was directly enjoying the treatment of a daughter-in-law.

Xia Xingruo couldn't stand Yan Rong's enthusiasm.

Fortunately, everyone is very busy at the end of October, so there are not many opportunities to actually meet.

Yan Rong was busy gathering various accounts of Qing Lian, while Xia Xingruo was busy preparing for filming.

Zhang Mingyang took most of the money, and the crew fully respected the opinions of Xia Xingruo, the original author, when doing various things.

Throughout October, Xia Xingruo was preparing the script.

After Geng Da read the script, he reconsidered the project and actually offered to participate in the investment.

The script has been finalized, and the next step is to start shooting. The crew found by Lezhengxing Entertainment is very efficient, but the actors are suffering because they have to shoot a summer-related TV series in November.

In the first week of November, along with several heavy rains, cold air swept across Linjiang.

The air conditioner in the office that had been blowing cold air was changed to blowing warm air.

Zhang Mingyang lives in his dormitory, classroom, and office every day. He never goes out if he can sit in the room.

The monitor also began to skip classes more and more frequently, especially large classes such as English classes or ideological and political classes. After only going once, he never went again.

The one with the highest attendance rate is probably Advanced Mathematics.

Cheng Xiaoli knew that Zhang Mingyang's company had a lot of things to do. Sometimes students would be found to be absent from class, but she would turn a blind eye.

As for the teacher, she knew that Mr. Zhang didn't care about grades either.

On this day, Zhang Mingyang was still sitting in the office as usual. He was busy designing the architecture of the video software, and there was a knock on the door outside the office.

"Enter."

Shi Mingli walked into the office, holding several express bags in his hand and frowning.

Zhang Mingyang also saw Teacher Shi's uneasiness and asked with a smile: "Teacher Cheng has deducted your pocket money again recently?"

Shi Mingli didn't seem to be in a joking mood. He pulled up a chair and sat in front of Zhang Mingyang. After placing several express bags on the desk, he picked up one and pulled out a few pieces of paper.

"We were sued," Shi Mingli said.

Zhang Mingyang took the documents from Shi Mingli, which were the indictment and the notice of response.

Zhang Mingyang was not surprised at all when he received these things. In other words, he had been prepared to be sued since he started working on the daily news.

The reason why the other party chose to sue at this time is also very simple, because the Daily News finally started to receive advertising profits.

These companies are now suing because they are jealous and want a piece of the pie.

He roughly read the contents of the indictment, and it was just as he thought. It was nothing more than suing the Daily News for infringement of their intellectual property rights, unfair commercial competition, etc.

"It's not a big deal. Let's go back to work first. Just leave these things to me."

Shi Mingli was still a little worried, but he was only a technical person and didn't know anything about legal issues. He didn't know how to say something if he wanted to say something.

Seeing Zhang Mingyang's confident eyes, he felt a little relieved.

"Then I'll go back to work first."

Although Shi Mingli doesn't understand the law, he understands data.

The conversion rate of ads placed on Daily News is amazing. Even if someone sues them, they will still do their job.

After Shi Mingli left, Zhang Mingyang opened the remaining express bags, all with the same content.

The number of companies that have sued is much less than he thought. It may be that this is just the first batch, and there are still companies that have not had time to sue.

However, there are few companies suing, which is also related to two things. First, many people on the Daily News have participated in creative incentives and there is a lot of original content. On the other hand, no Alibaba-related companies have sued the Daily News.

Zhang Mingyang casually looked through the indictment and put the documents aside. He took out his mobile phone and made a call. Professional matters should be left to professionals.

"Hey, Lawyer Jiang, it's me. If you have time now, can you come to Qinglian?"

Jiang Wen was the lawyer recommended to him by Xu Mo. He had long expected that such a day would come, so he made preparations early.

Regarding these lawsuits, Zhang Mingyang's idea was to delay them. In 2010, the protection of intellectual property rights in China was still in the barbaric era, and it was easy to get involved in disputes.

The Daily News is now enjoying a booming profit momentum. He can afford to delay the lawsuit, but it won’t stop him from making money anyway.

Not long after the call was made, the sound of Jiang Wen's high heels appeared at the door of the office. The woman was in her thirties and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

Zhang Mingyang feels that she should not be a lawyer but a teacher, which will definitely scare many students.

She stood at the door and knocked.

"boss Zhang."

Zhang Mingyang put down what he was doing and stood up to greet him: "Lawyer Jiang is here, please come in quickly."

After finishing speaking, he asked the staff outside the door to make a pot of tea.

"No need to bother, where is the indictment? Let me take a look first."

When Zhang Mingyang walked out, he noticed that Jiang Wen was followed by another tall female lawyer wearing professional attire.

The female lawyer's long black hair blocks her face, and her beautiful legs are wrapped in stockings under her hip-hugging skirt. Although her face cannot be seen, judging from her body shape, she is probably a beauty, or she may be a killer from behind.

But why did he feel that the figure in front of him seemed familiar?

Zhang Mingyang didn't think about it carefully. He welcomed Jiang Wen into the office, picked up the indictment on the table and handed it to her.

Jiang Wen took the indictment, sat across from the desk and started reading. Another female lawyer also sat down.

Zhang Mingyang returned to the boss's chair, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

Now face to face, he could finally see the whole picture of another female lawyer, and see whether she was a real beauty or a killer from behind.

After looking over, he found that the female lawyer sitting opposite was also looking at him and winked at him.

Not only is she not a killer from behind, she is even very good-looking. Her delicate face is dotted with charming almond eyes, and the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a beautiful smile.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In an instant, the water in Zhang Mingyang’s mouth sprayed all over the floor, and he also began to cough violently.

"Ahem..."

Jiang Wen was startled. She quickly put down the document in her hand and looked at the young boss in front of her with concern.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Zhang Mingyang waved his hands repeatedly.

He looked at the "initiator" of everything with dark lines on his face, but the other person turned his head to the side as if nothing happened, pretending not to recognize Zhang Mingyang.

Zhang Mingyang smiled but pretended to be concerned and asked: "Lawyer Jiang, who is this?"

There was a hint of vigilance in Jiang Wen's eyes that was not easily noticeable. This was not the first time that a boss had become interested in the person behind her.

"My assistant." Jiang Wen said calmly, without even revealing her name.

She originally had a good impression of this young and promising entrepreneur. When they first met, he also had his own opinions on intellectual property issues. She did not expect that he was also such a person.

"Oh." Zhang Mingyang agreed and stopped asking.

He also pretended not to recognize her and continued to do his own thing on the computer.

Jiang Wen was relieved when she saw that Zhang Mingyang didn't make things difficult for them, and her impression of him improved slightly.

In the office, one was busy in front of the computer and the other was reading legal documents. Now it was the turn of the little assistant who just pretended not to know him to be anxious.

She continued to look at Zhang Mingyang, but the other party seemed to have not seen her eyes at all and ignored her completely.

"Mr. Zhang, these people can directly raise jurisdictional objections and ask them to transfer the case to the court here in Linjiang for trial."

After Jiang Wen finished reading the document, she began to discuss the situation with Zhang Mingyang.

"We can use the safe harbor principle to defend the remaining few as you said last time."

When they last met, Zhang Mingyang and Jiang Wen talked about the operating principle of Daily News, that is, they only provide access links, and the news users see is the content on the other party's website, but it is classified by them using algorithms.

The content was not saved on the Daily Information server. After the other party informed them, they also deleted the content.

Zhang Mingyang proposed the classic safe harbor principle, which was also endorsed by Jiang Wen.

The two of them discussed their relationship seriously, Zhang Mingyang didn't look sideways, and even though the assistant's eyes were about to fall out, he didn't even look to the side.

"I also need someone with professional knowledge to accompany me to court." Jiang Wen said.

After all, lawyers can only solve procedural matters. When it comes to code-related issues, programmers need to come out to explain.

"Contact me before the trial and I will go with you."

Hearing Zhang Mingyang's words, Jiang Wen inadvertently looked up at him, but found that the other party was still looking at the paperwork in his hand, not at the assistant beside him.

"It's not a big deal. Mr. Zhang can just send someone to follow."

Jiang Wen has been working as a lawyer for so many years, but she has never seen a boss go to court in person. Judging from Zhang Mingyang's performance just now, it is difficult for her not to suspect that his real purpose is to be her assistant.

"They are all busier than me, and I, the boss, have the least time," Zhang Mingyang said.

Seeing his persistence, Jiang Wen didn't know what to say. At worst, Qing Lian's wife wouldn't even bring an assistant here.

"Xiao Xu, give me the agency contract."
