The lawyer Lu He hired did not expect Lu Zhen to be so direct. He could not say the words he had prepared.
How could they negotiate? The other party’s attitude was so arrogant. It was obvious that she had no intention of backing down!
Lu He slammed the table without waiting for her lawyer to speak. He pointed at Lu Zhen’s nose and scolded, “Lu Zhen, you’re really heartless. I’ve nurtured you for so many years and invested so much in you, but you’re leaving just like that? Let me tell you, dream on! You’ve signed endorsements with a few brands for a few years. If you dare to leave the company, the penalty will be enough for you to compensate for the rest of your life!”
Lu Zhen smiled disdainfully. She tapped her fingers on the table and said unhurriedly, “First of all, I want to make it clear that I don’t owe your Lu family anything. The money I’ve earned for you all these years is enough for you to raise tens of thousands of Lu Zhen. Lu He, you’re the least qualified to talk to me about conscience.”
Lu Zhen’s gaze swept across Lu He and Lu Rou’s faces. “Secondly, you can threaten me, but I have something on you. Lu Rou destroyed the wires in the production team of ‘The Great Wall of War’ and wanted to kill me. She also hired kidnappers to kidnap me, and you used force to deal with Lawyer Ding and me in the hotel. I have evidence on these things. If you take any of them out, you will all go to jail!’
Lu Rou’s face turned even paler. She bit her lip and her eyes widened, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.
Lu He’s lips trembled, and for a moment, it was as if hundreds of bees were buzzing in his mind.
He took a deep breath and stared at Lu Zhen angrily. “I didn’t expect you to have wanted to deal with us long ago. I didn’t expect that after raising you for more than ten years, I would only raise an ingrate who doesn’t know how to be grateful! But Lu Zhen, don’t forget that you have your current achievements because I helped you behind your back. There are many beautiful women in the entertainment industry. Without resources and connections, how far do you think you can go?
“You help me?” Lu Zhen laughed. “Lu He, did you get the main point wrong?
Without me, would a director look for you? Would an endorsement look for you? Do I need you to survive in the entertainment industry? Wake up. Take a good look at me. My face is the best business card in the entertainment industry!’
Looking at Lu Zhen’s arrogant face, Lu Rou was so angry that she was about to go crazy. She suddenly grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at Lu Zhen.
“Lu Zhen, you b*tch!”
Lu Zhen had practiced the basics of martial arts since she was young, so her reaction speed was very fast. The moment Lu Rou attacked, she was already prepared to dodge the glass of water that was thrown at her. However, before she could dodge, Ding Xian, who was beside her, had already grabbed the glass of water at an unbelievable speed.
Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment before saying to Ding Xian, “Thank you, Lawyer Ding.”
Ding Xian put down the cup, took out a handkerchief, and wiped his hands. He nodded politely at Lu Zhen. “You’re welcome. If I didn’t know some martial arts, I wouldn’t be Miss Lu Zhen’s lawyer.”
The reason why Song Jia introduced Ding Xian to be Lu Zhen’s lawyer was not entirely because of his business ability. More importantly, Ding Xian was an amateur mixed martial arts expert.
It was precisely because Ding Xian was around that Song Jia was relieved to let him accompany Lu Zhen to the Golden Jade Hotel.
Ding Xian sat down and looked at Lu Rou. His tone was a little cold. “What Miss Lu Rou just did to my client is suspected of intentional harm. My client will reserve the right to pursue the case. Miss Lu Rou, please regulate your actions and don’t continue to challenge the bottom line of the law.”
Lu Rou’s body swayed violently. Her face was as pale as paper, and she almost didn’t have the strength to stand.
“Regarding what Mr. Lu just said, I will also respond to you on behalf of my client.” Lawyer Ding looked at Lu He and continued, “Miss Lu Zhen hasn’t signed any formal contract with your company all these years. She has participated in performances since she was young. From a certain perspective, Mr. Lu He, your actions are suspected of hiring child labor.”
Lu He was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning.
Lawyer Ding adjusted his glasses. “Moreover, in the years that Miss Lu Zhen has worked for you, she hasn’t received the remuneration she deserves.
Moreover, she works intensively every day. Your actions of arrears in labor remuneration constitute property infringement and also violate our country’s labor contract law. You haven’t signed a labor contract with Miss Lu Zhen. This is considered illegal. You need to compensate my client according to the relevant law.”
Lawyer Ding listed one crime after another. Lu He’s lawyer could barely raise his head. At this moment, he regretted taking on this business..
