Chapter 872
Ling Xiao pulled the chair away and sat down directly, then lifts the head looked towards Hogarth, and said, “I just came from Jessica, and I heard that she met What’s the trouble, why, this matter has something to do with you?”
“It’s a little bit related.” Hogarth laughed a little awkwardly, and explained: “The detective agency that conflicted with her, with us Law has some cooperative relations, no, Mr. Chen from that detective agency has just signed a complaint against Jessica and asked to initiate a civil lawsuit against her.”
“Jerry, when will you accept such an ordinary The civil lawsuit?” Ling Xiao’s eyes suddenly let out a chill, staring at Hogarth coldly.
What kind of person is Jerry Hogarth? She is the legal counsel of Stark Industries, 4D Technologies, and the Rand Group. She is a leading figure in the New York legal profession. In her capacity, When it is her turn to intervene in a civil lawsuit triggered by a conflict in an ordinary detective agency, this is an extremely abnormal thing in itself.
Hogarth squeezed a smile on his face, and reluctantly explained: “Ling, after all, Mr. Chen is also a customer of our company…”
“Is it, I still I thought your law firm was his boss!” Ling Xiao coldly snorted, and said: “We don’t have to hide and seek anymore, Jerry, tell me what is going on, otherwise don’t blame me and terminate our partnership when I go back? “
A large company like 4D Technologies costs nearly 10 million USD every year for just normal legal counsel fees, and once legal problems are encountered, the price will even double. The legal expenses of these large companies alone accounted for nearly 70% of the annual income of Hogarth’s entire law firm. The loss of any such contract is a great deal for Hogarth’s law firm. Big blow.
Hogarth’s movements suddenly stopped. After a while, she took away everything on the table in the same way, and finally took an unopened bottle of red wine and two tall feet. After the cup came over, without speaking, he poured the wine into the cup and pushed it in front of Ling Xiao, each minding their own business and took a sip.
Put down the cup, Hogarth was deeply sighed, and laughed at himself, saying: “Ling, you have seen all the messy things before. To tell you the truth, I have had a bad life recently. Through it, it’s like living in Hell.”
Ling Xiao sat there quietly, not at all, and said anything at will. Hogarth’s appearance of sitting alone at the table crying bitterly before is still vivid At present, it is obvious that something has happened recently, but even Hogarth, known as the “Iron Lady” of the legal profession, is a bit unbearable for a while.
Now is not a good time to persuade her, it’s better to let her vent herself first.
After adjusting his emotions, Hogarth continued: “Just a while ago, my former assistant took me to court and accused me of sexually harassing her. However, some of my partners demanded I settled with her. In addition to the 1 million USD compensation, I also asked me to publicly apologize to her. You know, in our industry, personal reputation is very important. Once a person gets infected Stain, those big contracts have nothing to do with you anymore.”
Hogarth is a very powerful woman. It is not incomprehensible that she is a gay, but she was sued by her assistant. In the court, this matter seems a bit troublesome. Once the court verifies that she loses the lawsuit, the big contracts she lost will be that’s all. She is very likely to be exploited by others and then be revoked by the Bar Association of her lawyer qualification certificate. Life is over.
“I have never harassed my stupid woman, she is a completely voluntary adult, her usual dressing is very tempting, almost directly splitting on my table, so I resolutely refused Make a reconciliation.” Hogarth shook the head, laughing at himself, and said: “Who would have thought that the two partners who stabbed me in the back at this time turned out to be my two partners. They actually wanted to kick me because of this scandal. Out of the company.”
“But didn’t you create that law firm?” Ling Xiao couldn’t help being a little dazed, and asked: “Apart from Stark Industries and Rand Group, our 4D Technologies has always They only recognize you. Once they lose you, they should know what oneself is facing!”
“4D Technologies, RAND Group are the same, Mr. Stark is the same.” Hoja Slightly shook the head and said: “But don’t forget, we also have a contract. Once we breach the contract, the penalty is a large sum.”
“I understand, this The two people really thought that this would allow those contracts to continue.” Ling Xiao couldn’t help but let out a laugh, and said, “They are so naive. Let alone your personal abilities, your government and super powers. The relationship between the world is far from what they can compare, and even if the contract is terminated, if the responsibility for termination falls on the law firm, they may not get any money, and they may even have to compensate us in turn.”
“There is no chance. I was very strict in some details when I drafted the contract. You are afraid that this money will really be paid out.” Hogarth glanced at Ling Xiao, his face Without the slightest expression.
In any case, Hogarth was originally for the own law firm, and he was naturally responsible in drawing up the contract. Even she herself could not find the loopholes in it. If Ling Xiao really I’m afraid it’s impossible to save this money.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s not a big sum anyway, we can afford it.” Ling Xiao doesn’t care about laughed, if the money is put on the law firm, it is indeed a big sum. But if it is placed on 4D Technologies, the money is really nothing.
“Don’t think about liquidated damages, I will find a way to relieve all the trouble.” Hogarth turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and said: “But I need you to ask Jessica to help me investigate some things. , So I can help me deal with it.”
“Jessica, also Mr. Chen.” Ling Xiao frowns, looking sideways at Hogarth, said: “Don’t tell me it is because of this. You just asked that Mr. Chen to trouble Jessica, Jerry?”
“You may not know, I fell out with Jessica some time ago.” Hogarth helpedlessly shook his head and said: ” And now in this matter, I really need her take action help, so I asked Mr. Chen to buy Jessica’s detective agency, so she had to work for me. But I did not expect that Mr. Chen’s style of doing things It’s too unacceptable. Not only did the acquisition fail, but Jessica was angered, so…”
That’s why we have this situation. Ling Xiao nodded gently, but he still had some I didn’t understand and asked: “Then why do you want to sue Jessica?”
“That was Mr. Chen’s own claim.” Hogarth said annoyedly: “Because of Matt’s intervention, Jessica only sentenced After a year of probation, Mr. Chen, who had broken his arm, was naturally unwilling, so he had to sue.”
“It seems that with this Mr. Chen, you have lost control.” Ling Xiao shook the head and said: “Actually, you did this wrong from the very beginning. You should go directly to Matt. With his help, you are absolutely impossible to lose the case of sexual harassment, and there will be no future things. “
“I’m not going to find both of them.” Hogarth pressed his lips tightly, his complexion very firm.
Ling Xiao could only helplessly laughed and couldn’t persuade anything. Matt Murdock was actually brought out by Hogarth. He was extremely good at abilities, but for unknown reasons, the two suddenly Turned over.
Matt Murdock returned to Hell’s Kitchen oneself and opened a small law firm, and Hogarth also lost a very capable assistant, which has even led to the current situation, because she used Matt as a partner at the beginning People cultivated.
“Jessica is afraid that she can’t take care of your side recently. She is investigating some things about her parents’ car accident and Death.” Ling Xiao shook the head, said: “I suggest you These things have been delayed for a while, and when Jessica has dealt with the trouble at hand, I am persuading her to help you.”
Ling Xiao impossible told Jessica to put down the matter of investigating the cause of her parents’ death in the car accident and turn around Help Hogarth. Although those things did originate from Patricia’s agitation at the beginning, it is obvious that now Jessica has found out something, and it has become that she herself is unwilling to give up.
“It’s a little bit related.” Hogarth laughed a little awkwardly, and explained: “The detective agency that conflicted with her, with us Law has some cooperative relations, no, Mr. Chen from that detective agency has just signed a complaint against Jessica and asked to initiate a civil lawsuit against her.”
