Zhang Zian asked Galaxy, Fina and Old Time Tea to go back to the pet bar provided by the game.
When he got back to the store, his sweat had been dried by the autumn wind.
There was a man in his 30s or 40s standing in front of the door. Just as Aunt Li had described, he was wearing an expensive suit, carrying a branded briefcase, and glancing at his watch from time to time. He looked like a successful man in a TV show.
Aunt Li and her husband were serving customers across the street. They nodded to Zhang Zian, indicating that it was him.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Zhang Zian walked over.
The man looked at Zhang Zian, put on a professional smile and said, "Hello! Are you Mr. Zhang, the owner of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop? "
"Yes, that's me." Zhang Zian answered with certainty. He took out the key and unlocked the shutter door, "What can I do for you?"
"Great! The shop was not open just now. I was worried that I would come here for nothing. Fortunately, the owner of the breakfast stall across the street told me that you were out for a while. I am a lawyer from the legal department of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group. My name is Rong Bai. This is my business card. "The man handed over his business card.
Zhang Zian took the business card and looked at it. Just as Captain Sheng had said yesterday, the legal department of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group was very fast. Two days ago, they were still pressuring the provincial government, and today they were already in Binhai City. How efficient was that?
"My name is Zhang Zian, the owner of this shop. You probably already know that. Oh, I don't have a business card. "
He pulled up the shutter door, "Do you want to talk outside or inside?"
Rong Bai smiled, "It's windy outside. Let's talk inside. It's rare for me to come here. I want to see the famous Amazing Fate Pet Shop. "
"Please come in." Zhang Zian was polite.
As soon as Rong Bai walked into the shop, he immediately smacked his lips, "Oh, look at what happened. Why did you have to do this? Wouldn't it be great if we could just be friends? "
Zhang Zian immediately agreed, "That's right. The most important thing is to be happy. Do you want me to cook some noodles for you? "
"??" Rong Bai was confused, but he still replied politely, "No, I already ate."
In fact, the current situation in the store was much better than a few days ago. At least the broken glass and deformed canned cat and dog food had been cleaned out. The front half of the shop had been affected. It was not something that could be reopened with simple repairs.
Zhang Zian pointed at the cashier's chair and said, "If you don't mind, please have a seat."
Rong Bai looked at the thin and shabby four-legged chair and frowned without anyone noticing. He smiled and said, "There's no need. There's only one chair. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Boss Zhang to stand when I sit down? I'll just stand there for a while. It won't take up too much of Mr. Zhang's time … "
Before he could finish, he saw Zhang Zian sit down on the recliner.
Rong Bai: "…" What the f * ck, is there anyone who sits on a deck chair to receive guests?
Zhang Zian knew what he was thinking and said, "In the past, our great leader also had 'pool diplomacy.' How about we learn from him and have 'reclining chair diplomacy?'"
Rong Bai felt that the person in front of him was very difficult to deal with. Zhang Zian didn't listen to him, but he was also in the right. No lawyer wanted to deal with this type of person. However, he was one of the legal consultants of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group and represented Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group to negotiate with Zhang Zian. This meant that he was not an ordinary person.
Rong Bai immediately showed a humble attitude. He smiled and dragged the four-legged chair over to sit down. "Mr. Zhang, you are really interesting. You always play by the rules. No wonder Chen Taitong was forced to do this."
Zhang Zian didn't say anything and waited for Rong Bai to continue.
Rong Bai saw that Zhang Zian was smart enough not to answer, so he continued, "Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I am here to negotiate with you."
"Of course, I am willing to negotiate. However, it depends on your sincerity," Zhang Zian said ambiguously.
Rong Bai waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, please don't misunderstand me. I am here on behalf of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group, not Chen Taitong. I am not Chen Taitong's lawyer. I don't care about him. "
What? Zhang Zian was taken aback. What was going on? Chen Taitong was the manager of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group, and Rong Bai was their lawyer. Why didn't Rong Bai care about Chen Taitong?
Rong Bai smiled, opened his briefcase, and took out a stack of documents.
"This is the copy of the Franchise Agreement signed between Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group and Chen Taitong. Of course, this is only a part of it. Some confidential information of the company is blurred out. Mr. Zhang, please look at these lines I am pointing at."
Zhang Zian took the documents and looked at the lines he was pointing at.
The main idea was: (Foreword) Both parties have reached an agreement in the spirit of equal negotiation and friendly cooperation. Party B (Chen Taitong) has the right to set the price on its own. Party A (Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group) has no right to interfere. Party B's operation shall not violate any international or domestic laws and moral standards. Party B shall not damage Party A's image in any public or private occasions. Otherwise, the contract will be terminated automatically. Party A has the right to ask for compensation from Party B. The specific compensation standard is …
To be honest, these densely packed and lengthy clauses were a headache to read. They were like a maze that went around and around. However, Zhang Zian understood what was going on.
He gave the copy back to Rong Bai, "I have read it. What do you say?"
Rong Bai took the copy and put it back into his briefcase.
"As I said, I am here on behalf of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group, not Chen Taitong."
He shrugged with regret, "In fact, I feel sorry for Chen Taitong, but there is nothing I can do. Business is business. Since you signed the agreement, you have to abide by it. You can't treat it like a piece of paper."
He looked at his watch, "It's getting late. I don't want to waste too much of your time. Let's get down to business."
"Mr. Zhang, on behalf of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group, I would like to make two points to you. First, we will not interfere with the private affairs between you and Chen Taitong. Second, if you decide to take legal action to ask for compensation from Chen Taitong, please don't make Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group liable." Rong Bai put on a serious face and got down to business.
Zhang Zian didn't know what to do. After all, he didn't know much about legal terms.
Rong Bai didn't give him any time to digest. He immediately said, "If you agree to these two points, I will personally provide some financial assistance to you. If you disagree with the second point and still want to sue Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group, then we will see each other in court. But I have to remind you that you have just read the contract. Even if you sue Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group, you have no chance of winning. "
He took out a kraft paper envelope from the inside pocket of his suit and placed it flat on the cashier's desk. "There's 20,000 yuan in cash and a statement to waive the lawsuit. If Mr. Zhang agrees, you can sign the statement and the money is yours."
After that, he closed his mouth and waited for Zhang Zian's reply.
Although Zhang Zian had never been in a lawsuit, he had seen it in TV shows and movies. How much would the lawyer's fee be if he had to fight a lawsuit with Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group for years? How could he keep his store open?
"Can I see the waiver first?" he asked.
"Of course." Rong Bai took out a piece of copy paper from the kraft folder and handed it to him. There was really only one piece.
Zhang Zian took it and looked at it. Luckily, there weren't many words on the paper. It was simple enough to understand.
The title was "Waiver of Lawsuit by Agreement."
The main idea was: I voluntarily waive the right to sue Stars Pet Chain Supermarket Group for case number xxxxx. This is the declaration.
The signature and date at the bottom were blank, waiting to be filled in.
Zhang Zian looked at the waiver and deeply felt the sadness of being a legal illiterate.
He said, "Please wait a moment. I will make a call. "
He didn't wait for Rong Bai's reply. He went to the second floor and saw that Rong Bai was still sitting on the same spot. He went into the bedroom, closed the door, and took out his phone to call Xiao Yan for help.
After two rings, the other side picked up the phone.
"What's up?" she asked without hesitation.
Zhang Zian told her the contents of the waiver.
"Wait a moment. I will call my lawyer friend. I will call you back later." She hung up the phone immediately.
Zhang Zian turned the phone to vibrate and walked out of the bedroom quietly. He made sure that Rong Bai was still sitting at the door.
After about a minute, the phone vibrated.
He went back into the bedroom and closed the door.
"Hello?"
"You can sign it." Xiao Yan said simply, "This kind of waiver doesn't have much legal binding force. If you really want to sue, you can. However, you will have to bear some moral criticism."
No wonder it was only 20,000 yuan. The waiver was not worth that much!
He had planned to settle anyway. Why wouldn't he want to make money?
"Thank you." He hung up the phone.
Zhang Zian walked down the stairs briskly, "I haven't signed for someone in a long time. Give me a pen!"
