The Mid-Autumn Festival order was enough to push Lo Fong from a crouching position to a standing position. It was not far from standing up.
At that moment, Xiao Luo frowned deeply. He had just received some bad news. The prosecution of Chen Jianbai had failed, and the outcome of the first trial was extremely bad for Lo Fong. There was no other reason other than the fact that Taste Buds had found a good lawyer for Chen Jianbai.
"The lawyer in charge of defending Chen Jianbai is called Fu Heyu. He is a lawyer who is as famous as Ge Zhongtian. He is very eloquent and can turn the dead into the living and black into white. Other than the one time he lost to Ge Zhongtian, he has never failed in any of the cases he has taken on. People have given him the nickname 'Eloquent Fu.'" The head of the legal department, Zhang Yong, reported to Xiao Luo. Due to the failure of the first trial, his face was full of disappointment.
Xiao Luo ignored him. He sat in his chair and stared unblinkingly at the replay of the first trial on the computer. His fingers tapped lightly on the table rhythmically.
Xiao Luo's behavior made Li Zimeng and Zhang Yong, who were standing in the office, very uneasy. They felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
This was especially true for Li Zimeng. She had thought that with the recording in hand, Chen Jianbai would lose the case no matter what. Then, Lo Fong's reputation would be restored. However, Fu Heyu had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. With just his mouth, he had inverted right and wrong and forced the court team to lean towards Chen Jianbai. They believed that Lo Fong had forced Chen Jianbai to record the recording. Lo Fong was suspected of intimidation, threats, framing, and defamation.
Lo Fong had suddenly gone from being the plaintiff to being the defendant!
The change was so sudden that it caught everyone off guard. It was even more unexpected that such a result would occur.
"What eloquence. After watching the video, even I feel that there is something wrong with Lo Fong." Xiao Luo exhaled deeply and laughed.
"President Xiao, we still have a chance to turn this around. As long as we can get Ge Zhongtian to help us, we don't have to be afraid of Fu Heyu," Zhang Yong suggested.
In the current situation, the only way to win the case was to get Ge Zhongtian to help them. If they lost, Lo Fong's reputation would suffer another fatal blow. Even with all the orders from the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lo Fong could only go a little further..
Xiao Luo's face was slightly cold, and he glared at him. "You are the head of the legal department. It is your responsibility and your job to fight a lawsuit for the company. You should not be thinking about spending money to hire a better lawyer, but thinking about how to win this lawsuit."
Hearing this, Zhang Yong lowered his head sadly.
Xu Guansong stood up and said, "I recognize Zhang Yong's ability, but there is always someone better. Fu Heyu is one of the top lawyers in Jiangcheng. It is inevitable that Zhang Yong will lose to him. It is like comparing a bullet train to a bullet train. We can't expect a bullet train to outrun a bullet train, can we? If a bullet train outrun a bullet train, it would go against the laws of nature, wouldn't it?"
These words were obviously to absolve Zhang Yong of responsibility. Zhang Yong could not help but look at him gratefully.
Xiao Luo looked up at Xu Guansong and asked tentatively, "Vice President Xu, you are very calm. It seems like this result is within your expectations."
"President Xiao, it's not that I'm giving advice in hindsight. Before this, I advised you not to sue Chen Jianbai. You just didn't listen."
Xu Guansong said this with a hint of resentment. "Taste Buds will never stand by and do nothing when Chen Jianbai is sued. With Taste Buds' ability, they could even invite Ge Zhongtian to defend Chen Jianbai, let alone Fu Heyu. Lo Fong is destined to lose. As a reporter, Chen Jianbai has his own power. I think a large number of reporters are rushing to our company, demanding an explanation from Lo Fong …"
As if to verify his words, Madam Liu from the customer service department knocked on the office door. After entering, she said to Xiao Luo in a panic, "President Xiao, bad news. There are fifty to sixty reporters outside the company. They are all asking to see you. They want an explanation as to why you threatened their colleagues. They even brought interview equipment. They say they want to expose the evil deeds of Lo Fong."
"In the end, it has come to this point!"
Xu Guansong let out a long sigh. "I'll deal with them. Their questions will definitely be very difficult. I should be able to handle it."
After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the office.
Li Zimeng gritted her teeth.
"Damn it!"
As someone who had personally followed Xiao Luo to collect the evidence, she felt angry and aggrieved. It was clearly Chen Jianbai who had deliberately slandered Lo Fong's reputation. However, after the first trial, it was said that Lo Fong had threatened and threatened Chen Jianbai. The truth had been distorted to this extent. What else in this world could be trusted?
Xiao Luo was expressionless. Running a company was not easy, and he had now experienced it firsthand.
At this moment, his phone rang. It was a video call request from Zhang Dashan.
He waved his hand and motioned for Li Zimeng and Zhang Yong to leave. He wanted to talk to Zhang Dashan. The dignified image that he had always maintained in the company would collapse. He did not want his employees to see the real him.
After the two left, Xiao Luo accepted Zhang Dashan's video call request.
Zhang Dashan's fat face immediately appeared on the phone screen, accompanied by harsh noises. Zhang Dashan was at the entrance of Lo Fong. Zhang Dashan was not the only one who had entered the building. Feng Wuhen and the others, who were dressed in security uniforms, were also there.
Lin Chongdong from the human resources department had arranged for them to be security guards based on their strengths. It was a little easier than ordinary workers, and their salaries were not much different.
"Old Xiao, it's going to blow up. This group of stupid reporters said that our Lo Fong threatened Chen Jianbai, and that's why they recorded that recording. They are broadcasting the whole thing live. They want you to stand up and give them an explanation. If you don't handle it well, our Lo Fong will be in the black headlines," Zhang Dashan said.
"What a headache!" Xiao Luo rubbed his temples.
Zhang Dashan immediately scolded, "What a headache! Hurry up and think of something. These bastards are too arrogant. Come, let me show you what they are shouting about."
Xiao Luo switched the phone to the rear camera. Not only could he see the ugly faces of the reporters, but he could also hear their screams.
"Unscrupulous company, using despicable means to threaten our colleagues. We are determined to expose you!"
"Your company's boss won't accept our interview. We will stay here and see how you will continue to produce."
"Come out, don't be a coward. Lo Fong's boss, hurry up and come out. You owe us, the Jiangcheng reporters, an explanation."
The crowd was agitated, and their shouts were getting worse and worse. Of course, they did not turn on the live broadcast when they were hurling abuse at each other.
When Xu Guansong appeared, they immediately extended their microphones through the metal door, turned on their cameras, and started the live broadcast.
"Vice President Xu, the court said that Lo Fong threatened and fabricated evidence to slander our colleagues. What do you think of this matter?"
"As a vulnerable group, we reporters are easily threatened by big companies like yours. May I ask if you have threatened anyone other than Comrade Chen Jianbai?"
"I heard that Lo Fong has a new boss. May I ask if the new boss is from the yakuza?"
