"Although I don't know how you did it, this video was obviously taken in Kang Min's office. This kind of behavior is illegal in itself and has violated her right to privacy."
Cui Yin explained patiently. "As long as the audio-visual materials secretly taken and recorded do not damage the confidentiality, privacy and legitimate rights and interests of the state, the collective or other third parties, they can be used as evidence of accusation. However, it is only one evidence and cannot form a complete chain of evidence. The audio-visual materials you secretly took were obtained in Kang Min's private space, which has violated her right to privacy. If you present this secretly taken evidence in court, the legitimacy of its source will be questioned and it will not be accepted by the court. In serious cases, you will even be accused of illegal invasion and violation of others' privacy."
Ding Ning showed a look of sudden understanding. He had also majored in law, so he knew this point. It was just that he had secretly taken a lot of evidence of people who wanted to frame him and got rid of all these people, so he directly ignored this point.
At this moment, he remembered that the evidence he had secretly taken before had either caused the other party to be dismissed or fired. Even if someone was sent to prison, it was because other criminal evidence was sufficient. It was enough to sentence them without the evidence he had secretly taken and submitted to the court.
Originally, he thought that he could use this evidence as a big weapon to send Kang Min to prison, but he did not expect that this evidence could not be used at all. How could he not be frustrated?
"However, you don't have to be frustrated. Although this evidence is not obtained properly, it can be handed over to the police, and then there will be a direction for investigation. With this evidence as the foundation, it will be much easier for the police to collect other evidence and form the final chain of evidence."
Seeing him depressed, Cui Yin could not bear to comfort him.
"Well, it seems that this is the only way."
Ding Ning could not think of other good ways at the moment and said listlessly.
"However, this evidence had better be submitted to the police anonymously, otherwise it will bring you some trouble."
Cui Yin reminded him dutifully.
"Don't bother. I will give it to Xiao Nuo directly when I come back."
Ding Ning would not tell her that he was a criminal police consultant, so he said perfunctorily.
Cui Yin took a deep look at him and was secretly curious about the relationship between him and Xiao Nuo.
"Well, Lawyer Cui, let's put this matter aside first. The urgent task is to sue the eight media companies and Star Art for bribing journalists and public servants."
Ding Ning quickly recovered his spirit, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and ordered rationally.
"Well, good. The evidence for the lawsuit against the eight media is extremely sufficient. Although I have said that the judiciary requires public figures to have the obligation to tolerate the media, this tolerance also has its limit. Miss Jiang Yimeng's lawsuit has caused huge economic losses and damage to her reputation because of the media's baseless suspicion and reports. She is sure to win the lawsuit, but …"
At this point, Cui Yin asked seriously, "I want to know how far you plan to go with this lawsuit. Are you going to stop before you go too far, or are you going to sue to the end?"
"Don't overdo it, what do you say? What did you say in your complaint? "
Ding Ning exhaled a puff of smoke and asked with great interest.
"Enough is enough. Let's reach a private settlement with these eight media companies. Let them make some appropriate financial compensation and publicly apologize in the media to clear Miss Jiang and Miss Song's innocence. This is also the most common solution in the entertainment industry."
Cui Yin explained in detail, "Suing to the end, as the name suggests, means that we will never make a settlement and will completely execute the judgment of the court. However, this kind of precedent is very rare. After all, in this circle, no one is willing to really fall out with the media and offend them too much."
"Suing to the end and never making a settlement. These media companies think that they are uncrowned kings, and they can ruin people's future and even their lives with the pen in their hands."
Ding Ning sneered and said firmly, "To put it bluntly, these unscrupulous media companies have been spoiled. No matter how aggrieved they are, in order not to offend people and to survive in this circle, they have to swallow their anger and accept their settlement. But doing so will only encourage the arrogance of those bad media companies and make them more and more unscrupulous, which seriously violates the professional ethics of the news media. I will never tolerate such media companies. I will not stop until I sue them until they go bankrupt and close down."
Cui Yin took a deep look at him, and there was a faint flame burning at the bottom of her eyes. She had also represented media companies in lawsuits before, but in the middle of the lawsuit, the media companies found that they could not win, so they proposed an out-of-court settlement. In order not to offend the media companies, the companies of those artists did not care about the feelings of their artists at all. They made loud noises but small raindrops. In the end, they would swallow their anger and settle with the media, which made her, as a lawyer, feel very aggrieved.
Ding Ning's resolute attitude made her see a boss of a company who was completely different from the one she had dealt with before. His uncompromising attitude made her blood boil constantly. For the first time, she felt that becoming the legal consultant of Tiangong Entertainment seemed to be a very good choice.
As a lawyer, her ability could only be shown in lawsuits. If she could not win a lawsuit, she could not prove her value at all.
But as a lawyer with professional ethics, she still conscientiously reminded him, "Are you sure? In this way, I am afraid that many media companies will be offended. Once they unite against the company, I am afraid that it will bring a lot of trouble to the company. "
"What kind of trouble will it cause? Tell me."
Ding Ning asked with great interest.
"The media is a channel for entertainment companies to publicize and increase the exposure of artists. Once these media companies unite to ban an entertainment company, this entertainment company will be ruined. All the promotions of the company will not be reported by the media; artists will lose exposure and a lot of fans; no media will attend any activities held by the company; the release of movies and TV plays will not be reported in the newspapers …"
Cui Yin talked about the horror of the media ban while observing Ding Ning's expression.
Seeing that Ding Ning frowned tightly and was lost in thought with a solemn face, she felt a little disappointed.
She thought to herself, "Maybe he just let out the bold words just now on impulse. Now, after hearing the terrible consequences of being banned by the media, he has to reconsider the weight of this lawsuit."
Although she was a little disappointed, she could understand. After all, the primary purpose of a businessman to open a company was to make money, especially an entertainment company. The entertainment company and the media were like twins who loved and hated each other. No one would be willing to lose money to earn publicity, offend all the media for a moment of anger, and lose money.
If Ding Ning refused to compromise as he did before, although he could vent his anger, it was not a choice that a qualified businessman should make.
"Is the media very important?"
Ding Ning asked abruptly.
"Of course."
Cui Yin answered affirmatively, "Now it is the Internet era, not the era where good wine fears no dark alley. If an artist wants to become famous, without packaging, publicity, exposure, and the support of the media, it is simply difficult for him to move forward. No matter how talented and capable he is, he can't develop without publicity channels and platforms."
"Alright then, I understand."
Ding Ning said absent-mindedly. Then he lit another cigarette and continued to smoke. But judging from his relaxed expression, he seemed to have made a decision.
Cui Yin looked confused and didn't know what he meant. She tentatively asked, "Do you still want to fight this lawsuit?"
"Yes, why not?"
Ding Ning looked at her with a strange look, as if he didn't understand why she would ask such a stupid question.
Cui Yin was a little ashamed and annoyed by his look. She said angrily, "Is it an out-of-court settlement or a lawsuit to the end?"
"Didn't I say it? A lawsuit to the end. "
Ding Ning looked at her with a more strange look. "Now I have some doubts about your professional level. Did you forget the tone I just set in such a short time?"
Cui Yin was a little dumbfounded. She looked at him with a dull face and shouted in her heart, "Is he a fool? He still insists on suing to the end. I have said it so clearly. Doesn't he understand the terrible consequences? "
"Why do you look at me with such a strange look? I know I am very handsome and attractive to girls, but please don't drool."
Ding Ning was extremely narcissistic and said seriously.
"Ah! Ding Ning, you bastard, I will kill you. "
Cui Yin almost instinctively hurriedly wiped her mouth, blushed with shame, and secretly scolded herself for being so infatuated and drooling. It was so shameful. But when she found that she didn't drool at all and looked at Ding Ning's mischievous smile, she immediately became angry out of shame. With a deafening roar of anger, she rushed at Ding Ning with bared fangs and brandished claws.
"Help, someone is killing me."
Ding Ning's face was full of exaggerated panic, and he pretended to shout, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He suddenly found that it seemed very pleasant to tease this lawyer who always wore a cold face.
"Ayaya, I will kill you, kill you …"
Cui Yin roared hysterically and rode on Ding Ning's body like a furious dinosaur. With a flushed face, she desperately clutched Ding Ning's neck and shook him hard. Fortunately, the soundproofing in this office was extraordinarily good, otherwise their playful screams would have attracted countless onlookers.
Ding Ning did not fight back. With his current physical strength, even if Cui Yin used a saw to chop his throat for a hundred years, he could only leave a white mark at most and could not hurt his skin at all, let alone Cui Yin strangling his neck with his hands.
But he pretended to be suffocated, blushed, rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, and took the opportunity to take advantage of her. He secretly praised in his heart, "Tut-tut, I didn't expect this girl to have such a good figure."
"Uh!"
Looking at Cui Yin's flushed cheeks, Ding Ning immediately became mischievous, rolled his eyes, kicked his legs, and pretended to faint.
"Ah, you … wake up, wake up, don't scare me, I … I really didn't mean it … boohoo … I … boohoo … I'm sorry … I … boohoo …"
Cui Yin suddenly found that Ding Ning suddenly stopped moving, and then found that he seemed to have fainted. Instantly, she was scared out of her wits and put her trembling hand on Ding Ning's neck artery to feel it, but she didn't feel any pulse. She was so scared that her face turned pale, and her heart was full of panic and helplessness. She even cried out of remorse.
Ding Ning was very depressed. He wanted to see if he could cheat her into giving him artificial respiration or something, but he didn't expect that this big sister didn't take the usual way at all. She didn't check whether he was still breathing or heartbeat, but directly probed the carotid artery in a professional way, and then directly thought that he had died. She was really weak.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
Seeing that Cui Yin stood up in a daze and was about to turn himself in, Ding Ning could not continue the one-man show. He could only cough twice and pretend that he had just woken up in a coma, lest this silly big sister saw through his acting and had to fight with him desperately. Cui Yin looked at Ding Ning and said,
