Chapter 6 Devil's Advocate
Seeing Kevin Thomas becoming a dead man, Ye Wei couldn't help but smile. The dark cloud in his heart that had been suppressed for a long time was gradually dissipating. This liar made him lose his family and faced great challenges. He was already very kind to kill the liar without shooting him.
"You, what are you talking about..." Kevin Thomas still wanted to pretend to be confused.
"You don't have to act anymore. This is lawyer Greg Salton, a legal expert in the film and television entertainment industry, and will handle our lawsuit with all rights reserved."
Ye Wei waved his hand and introduced the middle-aged man in suits and ties on the sofa. They quickly found this lawyer last night. The lawyer's fee is not cheap, 300 yuan per hour.
"Lawyer..." Kevin Thomas's face changed again and he swallowed. No matter what, it would be completely different if a bastard like a lawyer came in.
Ye Wei was as happy as the morning sun, and he smiled and said, "What? Don't be afraid. With your appearance, you will not be visited by others even if you go to prison. Maybe some perverts who are molested by the old lady will be honored."
Lawyer Salton stood up expressionlessly and said like a robot: "Hello, I have to tell you that your behavior is already a fraud, eclipse, and theft... All of which seriously infringe on the legitimate interests of my client."
"You and Mr. Ye are the only two general partners of Weiduo Image Co., Ltd., but because of your behavior, according to the partnership agreement, Mr. Ye, who owns 55% of the company's shares, has the right to acquire your shares..."
"You were fired!" Ye Wei shouted loudly, looking straight into the other party's eyes that showed fear, and continued: "You are no longer the CEO of Weiduo Image, nor are you a general partner. Weiduo Image, "The Wedding Time is Coming", everything has nothing to do with you! You are nothing, just a pile of shit!"
Kevin Thomas was so shocked by this incident that he was a little dizzy and his face turned pale, "You... can't do this, you can't do this..."
He couldn't figure it out, really didn't understand, why did things turn out like this? Why did this fool suddenly become stupid?
And he himself actually left such an obvious false account...
"Hahaha!" Ye Wei laughed, walked to the frightened liar, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's relax, of course we can't just do this, we have to hold you legally responsible!"
His voice was filled with ruthlessness: "We will hire a financial review expert in film and television production to verify all the production files of "The Marriage is Coming". I believe that the fake accounts in it are more than just one thing, right? Kevin, see you in court! Now you can get out and go back and prepare for jail."
"Wait, you can't..." Kevin Thomas was panicked and confused, looking at this and that, trembling all over and almost collapsed on the ground.
"Don't you get out?" Ye Wei glanced at him, "Oh by the way, I won't go to the yacht party tonight, my mother doesn't agree."
At the same time, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao looked at all this and felt a lot of emotion in their hearts. Their son is such a "genius"!
Because he was afraid that Ye Haogen would be too excited, the showdown was hosted by Ye Weilai, the planner. Of course, they had concerns about this before. What would his son under the age of 16 behave? Unexpectedly, he was even calmer than Luke Skywalker when he destroyed the Death Star, which was completely admirable.
Maybe he is a genius who makes bad things.
In fact, they did not intend to go to court, not to let Kevin Thomas go, but to ask a lawyer to ask a financial expert to ask for money... Salton said that such cases will take at least half a year, usually a year, or even longer.
This consumes a lot of expenses and time. Even if Kevin Thomas is sent to prison, they will lose more, and what they get in the end is simply not as good as what they invested in.
Moreover, their family has no money and can spend it on expensive lawyer fees.
So, what is in front of you is just a cover, not the real purpose...
"No, no..." No, no..." No matter who started these things, Kevin Thomas knew that he was really exposed, and it would be useless to pretend. He looked bitter and begged: "You can't do this, please! We can talk slowly, but we don't need to go to court..."
It's over as soon as he goes to court. Not to mention the evidence is conclusive, he has no confidence that the financial experts will not find the second one. If the third one is fake, he will probably lose.
As long as this matter becomes news, goes to the newspaper, goes to IMDb, goes to the Internet... His reputation as a producer will be completely ruined, which means he has been removed from the film industry and no matter how stupid a big fish is, he will not be found...
"Nothing you said now is useless. It's useless to kneel on the ground and beg us. I will throw you into prison. I swear, you bastard whores!"
Ye Wei finished scolding coldly, just like the lawyer Salton of R2-D2 said: "I can do the wishes of my client, three years, or more."
"Three years? That's just less than a thousand dollars!" Kevin Thomas was anxious and angry.
"Are you sure?" Ye Wei laughed, "Our financial friends don't think so."
Kevin Thomas hung his head and wanted to walk to the sofa, but was stopped by Ye Wei and said sarcastically: "Haogen, we don't need to do this." He looked at Gu Qiao again, "Joe, you have always been a rational person, you know that this will not benefit everyone..."
"My son has the final say here." Gu Qiao said in a deep voice, "He said you are raised by a bitch, you are raised by a bitch."
Ye Wei shouted for his mother's anger and continued to smile: "It's just good for you if you don't go to court. Because of you, we have lost so much money, why should you let you go?"
"It also costs a lot of money to sue..." Kevin Thomas said anxiously.
"It just so happens that there are some in our bank account." Ye Wei said. At this time, Ye Haogen suddenly spoke out: "I don't understand the film industry, but the dentist industry is quite profitable."
Kevin Thomas felt that he was about to cry, and everything was dizzy. "As long as you don't go to court, you can do whatever you want me. I will withdraw the company and transfer the 20% shares to you for free. "The wedding date is approaching" is not my business, I promise you all these..."
"Are you still thinking we are fools?" Ye Wei shook his head with a smile, "What a good idea. You can get rid of a worthless mess without being sued. Good idea!"
"What do you want..."
Ye Wei said slowly: "It's very simple, cash compensation."
Kevin Thomas's face was filled with shock and anxiety, "No, this is not in line with the investment rules! I don't have money to pay."
"Haha." Ye Wei knew how much wealth this liar had. Thanks to the inspiration of that dream. He ignored what the other party said, and smiled and said, "I need you to sign an agreement that 'because the final quality of the video is poor, private compensation of Ye Haogen by 500,000 US dollars'. Only in this way can we consider not suing you."
"500,000!?FUCK..." Kevin Thomas' eyes were red in anger, and he was out of breath. This was simply a waste of his life! His total assets were not 500,000.
"Then we have nothing to talk about, see you in court." Ye Wei was about to turn around.
"Wait..." Kevin Thomas took a few deep breaths, but he couldn't hide his inner pain. "I can only give out 100,000 yuan... to compensate you."
"Then you wait for the court summons."
"150,000, 200,000? 300,000! I really can't get it any more!" Kevin Thomas was forced to collapse and kept saying, "Please, please!"
Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were a little anxious. The plan was to get 300,000-500,000, and their son should consider agreeing, otherwise Thomas would be so angry that he insisted on suing, it would be a loss-win result.
"I can't see your sincerity." Ye Wei spread his hands angrily. He knew what kind of person Kevin Thomas was, and he also knew what the other party was afraid of. What he feared the most was not to go to jail, but that he could not cheat again in the future!
He said resolutely: "Say it again, 500,000 yuan, sign an agreement tonight, post it tomorrow, not a cent less. I can give you a kind reminder that you have a good 2003 Ford, and you have family and friends, right? Borrow it from them."
"You, you..." Kevin Thomas was completely stupid. Look at Ye Haogen and his wife, but they were frowned and still saying "the son is the master". How could a little prodigal son become like this... Just like a villain who penetrates all scams, leaving him with no chance...
His face changed for a while, and he kept saying, "This is really crazy, this is really crazy", but he was unable to fight back... Finally, he gritted his teeth: "500,000, but the agreement should state that you give up the financial problems of "The Marriage is Coming" and define those fake accounts as records errors and data confusion, which is just a lack of professional ability; in addition, you cannot expose this matter and must not be on the news, otherwise the agreement will be invalid, and I still have the right to hold you responsible."
"Hahahaha!" Ye Wei couldn't help laughing, "It's you begging us to solve the problem outside the court, it's not us begging you! You dare to make a condition? Hey, man, it's time to wake up!"
"You must agree to these two points..." Kevin Thomas's words trembled.
This time Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were really anxious. Even lawyer Salton felt that he should agree quickly. The compensation of 500,000 yuan was extremely high, and the other party’s request was reasonable.
"I can promise you verbally and will not sue you. Who is willing to talk to you for a year and a half?" Ye Wei shrugged, "As for news, I am not interested in getting involved, but just write it into the agreement, I don't want to tarnish justice."
Justice? Kevin Thomas murmured with his lips, but couldn't say anything. Looking at this boy was like looking at a giant, making him feel humble...
"Just as you mean, I accept it... I'm not lucky..." As soon as he said that, he was about to burst out and his face was pale.
This is... a complete victory! Only did it! Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao both suppressed joy, looked at each other, and knew how incredible they were!
Lawyer Salton couldn't help but sigh that after being a lawyer for so many years, he saw such a 15-year-old boy for the first time. It's indescribable. It can only be said that this is a miracle...
Everything is under control! Ye Wei raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out his still developing hand, "Then, I wish us a happy last time to cooperate."
VIY! Kevin Thomas was sweating coldly, and a name suddenly surged, this kid's nickname, VIY! He is not a prodigal son, he is a demon, he is a demon...
When he held that hand, Kevin felt even more fearful and couldn't help but shudder, feeling that he was going to be eaten alive by the other party for dinner.
...
When Kevin Thomas left the office dejectedly, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao both breathed a sigh of relief: "I can't believe it!", "But, you performed so well!"
"Are you sure you let him go like that?" asked Attorney Salton.
Chapter completed!
