Cynthia’s tone was calm and steady, "So you think he’ll retaliate?"
"It’s not a possibility. It’s a certainty!"
Vera stated firmly, "Ever since I t him, I’ve never seen him make a boast. Whatever he says, he will definitely put into action. So!"
Vera suddenly paused and chuckled maliciously.
"No matter who caused this plane crash, they should, as he said, prepare an almanac, and check it diligently before going out."
Cynthia surely got the answer she wanted, so she hung up without saying a word.
Who knows, maybe she really did mail them an almanac.
Vera, realizing the call had ended, didn’t mind, having long been accustod to the other’s rudeness. She took off her sunglasses and watched the waves roll in before lying back down and stretching lazily.
She already sensed that more intriguing dramas were about to unfold.
————
Shen Zhou.
River City, the crossroads of nine provinces.
Boss Jiang sat in the car, still calm and composed, without any hint of aggression.
He had blown up soone else’s plane too.
In Myanmar.
No.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t exactly him who did it, but he was indeed connected to it.
So, his mindset at this mont this year was quite peaceful.
If you bomb others but don’t allow others to bomb you, isn’t that unreasonable?
Of course.
Understanding is one thing.
How to handle it still needs to be addressed appropriately.
Putting aside the bigger picture, it’s believed no woman would favor a man who compromises too easily.
Like Cynthia.
What she likes would definitely not be a thin dog; it should be a tough guy.
Ahem.
Just a personal intuition.
The Maybach stopped at the entrance of the Interdiate Court.
That’s right.
The Court.
The driver ran to open the door.
Jiang Chen got out of the car.
The steps lead up to the national emblem, solemn and majestic, shining under the light.
The timing wasn’t perfectly precise; when Boss Jiang discreetly entered the court, the session had already started.
He found a seat and sat quietly.
Plaintiff’s seat.
Didn’t recognize them.
They looked like a middle-aged couple, continuously wiping tears in sorrow.
Then he looked at the defendant’s seat.
Oh.
Those were all acquaintances.
Who was sitting at the defense attorney’s position?
Hmm.
Fang, the talented lady.
Calmly presenting to the judge.
As for the defendant’s seat.
Wu Yufei, Xie Wendong, Ouyang Qing... all were old classmates from Sha City High School.
Last ti, when he ca to River City to buy land, he attended a class reunion and incidentally pulled a few old classmates into the venture, providing angel investnt to help transform them from ordinary individuals in various industries into entrepreneurs, acting as suppliers for Jiangcheng Starfire dical Center.
Hmm.
They really lived up to expectations.
Could diocre individuals end up on the defendant’s seat?
This case was rather complicated; after listening for half an hour, he vaguely understood the whole story.
Turns out the plaintiff’s elderly mother was diagnosed with cancer, pancreatic cancer, yes, the notorious king of cancers. Since rescue efforts at other hospitals were futile, she was transferred on the recomndation of Wu Yufei’s pharmaceutical company to Xinghuo dical Center for treatnt.
The result...
It wasn’t that the treatnt failed.
Rather, during the treatnt at Xinghuo dical Center, the elderly woman couldn’t bear the tornt of the illness and the agony brought by the treatnt thods, and jumped to her death.
Thus, the couple suffered both financial and personal losses and filed a lawsuit, accusing Wu Yufei and others, along with Xinghuo dical Center, of reckless endangernt, false advertising, collusion for profit, misleading and deceiving patients and their families.
This wasn’t the first trial.
Actually, soone’s life was lost, and it happened at their institution; regardless of fault, out of humanitarian concern, Xinghuo dical Center must take so responsibility and compensate the family for part of the economic loss. Xinghuo dical Center didn’t evade this, expressing willingness to offer a humanitarian compensation of 300,000.
300,000 is certainly not a small amount. It’s common for people to jump off hospital buildings; most of the ti, all they get is perhaps burial expenses. Xinghuo dical Institution, placing people first, offered 300,000, far exceeding industry standards, showing full sincerity, yet obviously, the elderly woman’s son and daughter-in-law still weren’t satisfied.
Regarding dical disputes, court verdicts have always been cautious. Boss Jiang sat for over an hour after arriving, but this trial ended without resolution; the demands of both parties remained at odds.
"Jiang Chen?"
After the trial, Boss Jiang in the audience realized.
Xie Wendong, who used to toil at the electricity bureau, ca over excited and embarrassed.
Fang Qing from the lawyer’s table glanced over, continuing to pack up materials.
The three old classmates, including the forr disciplinary committee mber Ouyang Qing, were okay, but the once unnoticed Wu Yufei in class, now a blossod beauty, was the most embarrassed, seemingly feeling guilty of betraying Jiang Chen’s trust, keeping her head down, not daring to et his gaze.
The courtroom truly isn’t a suitable place for a reunion, but Boss Jiang, what kind of person is he? How could he be affected? With a carefree smile, he said, "We’re not defeated, why the lost look? Justice is evident in people’s hearts."
"Had I known, I wouldn’t have ddled."
Wu Yufei still couldn’t lift her head.
"Why take all the bla on yourself? It was the family who heard about Xinghuo dical Center’s affordable costs and high subsidies that begged us to help transfer the patient. Initially, they were ready to give up treatnt and let that elderly woman wait at ho to die. Pancreatic cancer, being the king of cancers, given the current dical standards, no institution can assure a cure; they should have been ntally prepared. Who would have thought she’d jump at Xinghuo dical Center within less than a week, with the family right beside, how does this relate to us!"
Old discipline committee mber Ouyang Qing still had that character, unable to tolerate injustice, judging by her stance, she looked about ready to sit at the plaintiff’s seat.
"They’re just extorting, maliciously slandering, falsely accusing!"
Xie Wendong pulled her clothes.
"Don’t pull . Jiang Chen, we can’t lose this case, not just for us, but for Xinghuo dical Center. I know what you’re doing, so don’t let these scoundrels drag you down!"
Jiang Chen nodded smilingly, "Old committee mber, look, I’ve called Fang Qing over, do you think we’ll lose? You might lack confidence in , but surely not in Fang Qing?"
Although they were the sa class, Fang Qing was from another class, but how could they not know her?
Especially Wu Yufei.
She was the first to publicly admit she had a crush on Jiang Chen.
Who knows what it was like when they first t after all these years.
"Difficult."
Xie Wendong sighed, seemingly not very optimistic, "dical disputes, patients in a weak position tend to garner sympathy more easily, this case has attracted extensive attention, coupled with Xinghuo dical Center having just launched in River City without yet establishing sufficient reputation, so public opinion is almost one-sided, the court has repeatedly urged us to et the family’s conditions and reach a settlent..."
"We can’t settle, once according to the court’s proposal, it’s not just about the money, even if the court doesn’t rule, in the eyes of the public, it would still be Xinghuo dical Center’s responsibility, no different from losing the case. If a dical institution gets a bad reputation early on, especially at the start, you know the consequences."
Fang Qing finally finished packing up and ca over.
"It’s just like the first impressions of a romantic relationship."
Boss Jiang didn’t bear a trace of having gone through a ’brush with death’; he was always like this, never letting personal matters affect others. At this mont, he wore a warm smile, effectively dissolving the gloom and pressure the group had just experienced at the trial.
"If the first impression is ruined, how could people ever consider engaging with you again."
Fang Qing remained silent, evidently agreeing with Boss Jiang’s incisive description.
Seeing Qing i in her dark suit, light-colored shirt, black straight trousers, looking every bit the legal elite, Jiang Chen’s smile was playful.
"It’s been so many years since we t the old classmates, co, I’ll treat you to a al."
Have a al?
Except for Fang Qing, Wu Yufei and the others were taken aback in unison.
Truly not focusing on the main tasks here.
