Chapter 12: Keep waiting
When Zhao Mosheng hung up the phone, Zhao Shucheng called the attorney Liu Ming. After hearing the call from Zhao Shucheng, Lawyer Liu also felt that He Yichen's request was a bit incredible. It is said that he had provided Zhao Mosheng's relevant photographer qualifications, so there should be nothing He Yichen needed to talk to Zhao Mosheng himself.
He said: "Mr. Ying, from the perspective of a lawyer, we have provided relevant information, and Ms. Zhao's photographer qualification is not a problem, and she does not need to talk to the other party's lawyer. If we really want to talk, it should be the interview with both parties, so that we can negotiate and resolve the problem."
"Okay, I know Lawyer Liu, let's do it. You can make sure with the other lawyer. If you just ask questions, then we need to determine the location and time, and then what are the people present to testify. If the other party wants to reconcile, then we also need to determine the time and place, and who are present."
"Okay, Mr. Ying, I will contact the other party."
Zhao Mosheng heard Zhao Shucheng call and asked, "What did Lawyer Liu say?"
"You don't have to go now. We will set a time to meet when the other party and the lawyer have confirmed it."
"But……"
Zhao Shucheng took Zhao Mosheng's hand and looked at the other party and said, "Zhao Mosheng, you can't always say whatever others say, you have to know how to refute. He said he would meet when he met, and he would talk about the case when he said he would talk about the case. Then why didn't he say it just now? Also, you are not an isolated person, you and me, and I am your strong backing."
Zhao Mosheng was silent and said, "Actually..."
"What, actually, you forgot about being left in the cafe that day? What if you do it again? Anyway, the matter has been left to the lawyer to handle. We must believe in the professionalism of the lawyer and learn to deal with such things. In fact, the root cause is still in Xiao Xiao. If you really want to solve the problem, then just go to see Xiao Xiao. Maybe the two of you will have room for a walk, and there is still room for improvement in the matter?"
After hearing this, Zhao Mosheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Ying, don't you want me to meet He Yichen?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at her and said, "I admit that I really don't want you to meet."
Seeing Zhao Mosheng's surprised look, Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "After all, you were in such a relationship. I, I am really worried that you will be together again and will not give me the chance to pursue you."
Zhao Mosheng was silent for a while and said, "Well, I'll go up first."
She didn't know how to answer Zhao Shucheng, because she hadn't thought about it yet, and she didn't know what He Yichen was thinking, and she didn't know how to reject Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Mosheng and Xiao Xiao made an appointment to meet. When they arrived at the agreed location, they saw Xiao Xiao and He Yichen waiting there.
Zhao Shucheng accompanied Zhao Mosheng. At first, Zhao Mosheng only thought of going to see Xiao Xiao alone, but when he saw that Zhao Shucheng had to follow him, he agreed.
Xiao Xiao originally wanted to create an opportunity for He Yichen to meet Zhao Mosheng, but when she saw Zhao Mosheng bringing Zhao Shucheng together, her face was a little unnatural.
When He Yichen saw Zhao Shucheng and Zhao Mosheng, he said, "Mr. Ying really has free time."
"That's not. It's just that Mosheng is a little worried when he comes alone, so I'll accompany him. Mosheng, if you have something to talk to Xiao Xiao, let's sit aside and Lawyer He first."
He Yichen said unwillingly: "No, my client must ask me to be present."
"Okay, I'll accompany Mosheng, we can start."
He Yichen glanced at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Ms. Zhao, as the attorney of Miss Xiao, I need to ask you a few questions. Please answer them truthfully and thoroughly as much as possible. I have read your information. You graduated from the Ugly Kingdom. When did you go there in that year?"
"1996." (The adaptation of the TV series was in 2004, but the novel was created in 2003, so it is still based on the original timeline. After all, if it were based on the timeline of the TV series, the search engine would have been divided by Yahoo and Google for a long time, and Ying Hui's company would not have developed so much.)
"Detailed time."
Zhao Mosheng said: "September 1996."
"Which day?"
“September 29.”
He Yichen continued to ask: "Which city did you go to the Ugly Kingdom?"
"New York. I'm reading there."
“What university?”
"This information is written on it."
He Yichen said: "Sorry, please repeat it again."
“New York School of Visual Arts.”
"As far as I am ignorant, please allow me to check it out. It is indeed a good school, ranking in the top ten photography majors in the world. It is indeed worth leaving everything behind and going thousands of miles to study."
After putting down his phone, He Yichen said to Zhao Mosheng: "So after you graduate, you have been staying in New York to work?"
Zhao Mosheng said: "No, after graduation, I went to Luocheng."
"Why?"
"Is this related to the contract?"
He Yichen said: "I think it's related."
"Because, because, because of some private reasons, Los Angeles also has a good job."
When Zhao Mosheng said that, he unconsciously looked at Zhao Shucheng on the side, and then he spoke out.
"Please be in Luocheng, have you been engaged in photography related to characters?"
"Yes."
"I've seen your portfolio. Have you ever taken photos of many Hollywood stars and international models?"
"yes!"
"With such a good job, why did you choose to return to work?"
Zhao Mosheng unconsciously stared at Zhao Shucheng and thought about why he returned to China.
Zhao Shucheng said: "Lawyer He, this issue has nothing to do with the case, right?"
"I asked Miss Zhao why she gave up her job abroad and chose to return to China to start?"
"I can help Mosheng answer, because of racism, are you satisfied with this answer?"
"The next question, when did you return to China? Time?" He Yichen glanced at Zhao Shucheng and continued to ask.
Zhao Mosheng was silent for a while and said, "This year's June 3rd."
"I will ask the lawyer to verify what Miss Zhao said one by one, but based on everything Miss Zhao said, my suggestion is that your magazine is ready to respond."
Zhao Mosheng asked, "What if I change to a photographer?"
"Sorry, your magazine breached the contract first. According to the contractual provisions, my parties have the right to terminate the contract and seek compensation."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Then if Miss Xiao Xiao can not sue? What conditions can be expressed, and we will definitely do what we can do."
Xiao Xiao looked at He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng and said, "Lawyer He is my attorney, I chose to listen to him."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay, we know. Then if we compensate ourselves, the amount of compensation is the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract, right?"
"Of course I know you don't care about this compensation, but this is probably not possible."
He Yichen couldn't stand Zhao Shucheng's appearance that he could help Zhao Mosheng solve anything, so he said it directly.
"That's not necessarily the case. As long as we acquire the magazine, we can pay the compensation ourselves. Mosheng, there is nothing to say, let's go."
Zhao Mosheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Ying..."
"It's okay! I'm all right. It just so happens that we don't have any channels to speak out when we come back, and the magazine is a good choice."
"What are you showing off with two bad money? You can really buy it."
Xiao Xiao looked at Zhao Shucheng with some angrily, feeling that the other party was really too arrogant.
Zhao Mosheng wanted to say something, but Zhao Shucheng pulled him up and walked out of the cafe.
"Brother Ying, you..."
Zhao Shucheng looked at Zhao Mosheng and said, "Mosheng, is our relationship really so difficult for you to talk about, and you don't want to mention it?"
"No, I am, I..."
"It's okay. If you don't want to mention it, I won't say anything. But you can clearly feel that they have no sincerity in negotiations at all, and they are just taking the opportunity to humiliate you. In fact, I didn't want He Yichen to continue asking you at the beginning, but if you didn't refuse, I couldn't say anything."
Zhao Shucheng looked at Xiao Xiao and He Yichen inside and said, "Mosheng, you are the most important person in my life. Not everyone can bully you. I don't know, so forget it, but if I know, I will definitely not sit idly by."
"As for the dispute between the magazine and Xiao Xiao, you don't have to worry about it, just go to work with peace of mind. The matters that are responding to the lawsuit will be handled by Lawyer Liu. Don't worry, it will definitely not affect the magazine."
Zhao Mosheng didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only drive to the magazine with Zhao Shucheng.
After He Yichen left the cafe, he came to the TV station where He Yimei worked. He made an appointment with He Yimei to have a special guest seat and give an interview. When asked the final question, He Yimei said that there was a question that all single male guests would be asked.
"What's your future wife like?"
He Yichen said lightly: "Skip this question at the scene."
He Yimei insisted on an answer, saying that all the women on the TV station wanted to know this question.
"You know!" He Yichen's slightly helpless reply made the atmosphere even more awkward. He Yimei knew that she had been completely eliminated. In order to adjust the atmosphere, she could only let He Yichen invite herself to dinner. She said what happened before, but did not let He Yichen give any promises.
When He Yichen sent He Yimei home, he told He Yimei that if that person appeared, then everyone else would become a favor, but he was unwilling to give in.
He Yimei said angrily: "Even if she is a boyfriend again or even married, you don't care. Will you keep waiting like this?"
He Yichen looked at He Yimei and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said Zhao Mosheng is married, why are you still thinking about her? Can't you start again?"
"How do you know?"
