In the remaining ten days, Lu Ze and Li Jun have been studying the most likely outcome of the court's penalty, but to be honest, there is not much room for recovery. The compensation is certain, and it will definitely not be less.

Lu Ze currently has more than 21 million yuan in assets on the card, which may not be enough to compensate for breach of contract as an artist, and there is no way to save the double compensation for the iced tea endorsement. 30 million... Apart from selling his property, Lu Ze couldn't think of any other way to raise the money.

When Lu Ze bought his house, the real estate market in Magic City was declining slightly. He spent a total of more than 31 million yuan that year. Starting from 2021, housing prices in Magic City have picked up again, but not by much. , the current house price in Hailanwan, Jiuzhou is about 135,000 yuan per square meter.

There will be a relatively stable price difference between second-hand houses and new houses, especially for houses like Hailan Bay that have just been opened a few years ago and the traffic has not changed much. Lu Ze went to the agency to take a look, maybe they were in a hurry. The reason for the sale is that the price difference between a second-hand house and a new one is about 3,000 yuan, and this is still the price difference for a small square meter house. The price difference for a large house like Lu Ze's, which is more than 260 square meters, is even more, about 4,500 yuan. .

Coupled with the rush to sell and all kinds of messy taxes and fees, Lu Ze thought of cutting through the mess with a quick knife and selling it for 32 million. If he bought it, he would welcome it, but if he didn't buy it... he really couldn't do it. It can only be cheaper.

Now he can only be thankful that he didn't have a hobby of playing cars at the beginning and chose a watch that would better preserve its value. Now, except for the one given to him by Shen Jinghan, which has special meaning and cannot be bought at a high price, before filming "The Leader" Except for the watch he bought, he sold everything else and got back more than four million, less than five million, which was already included in the existing assets.

As for luxury goods such as clothes and trousers, they are indeed not sold at high prices in the domestic second-hand market. They are in an embarrassing situation where the rich look down on them and ordinary people cannot afford them. I won’t say how much they sold for. In short, things that were not cheap are now Sold for cabbage price.

.......

November 27, six o'clock in the morning.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding…”

This was not the sound of an alarm clock. Lu Ze was not sleeping either. He came out of the system space at half past five. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he sat on the bedside and smoked a cigarette. When he saw the caller ID, his thumb I swiped the screen twice, organized my language, and answered the call.

"mom."

"Aze, are you awake? Don't get angry. We can still make money without the money. Even if we live a down-to-earth life in the future, we have broadened our horizons in the past few years. Having more money is stressful, but without it, it will be easier. As long as Live an upright life and do your work conscientiously. God will not deny you a meal. Why don't you go to the Magic City to accompany you now?"

The matter was such a big deal, how could the old couple not know about it? But the couple really didn't dare to call Lu Ze too many times, for fear that Lu Ze would think that the old couple couldn't bear to part with the family fortune that Lu Ze had saved.

They also responded with a supportive attitude towards Lu Ze's falling out with the company. Although they didn't know why Lu Ze broke up with the company, could they not know what kind of character their son had? The company must have gone too far, which made Lu Ze feel resistant. In this case, the old couple did not want their son to suffer from such cowardice. People starved to death.

The purpose of making this call today was not to inquire about any information from Lu Ze, but simply because he was worried that Lu Ze would get angry, not to mention those who couldn't stand it, and even the old couple couldn't bear it. All serious illnesses are basically related to psychological stress and anger.

"It's okay, Mom, why are you here? I'm very busy right now, and I don't have time to care about you. Just stay at home. Don't worry, I won't get angry. There's nothing I can't bear. I won't tell you anymore. I have to go, hang up, mom."

After hanging up the phone, he glanced at Li Jun in a suit and tie at the door, put his phone in his pocket, put out his cigarette, and followed him out of the bedroom.

"Auntie is worried, right? Everyone knows about such a big thing. After all, she is old, so you have to take good care of her."

"I know. After I'm done with this, I'll go home."

Put the documents and keys with you, pick up the shoehorn in the shoe cabinet, put on the size 45 leather shoes, straighten your clothes in front of the mirror, adjust the position of the tie, put your hair back on your head, meticulous, exhale Take a breath, lightly stamp your feet, and set off.

.......

This trial was not open to the public, but it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the reporters. They were waiting at the entrance of the court early in the morning. The reporters all knew that Lu Ze drove a Porsche. , when I saw it parked at the door of the court, I was so excited that I had to open the car door myself.

"I didn't really have much idea about your fame before. After all, I never attended your events. Now it seems...it's really scary. How do we get out of the car?"

Looking at the crowded crowd, Li Jun shrank his neck, unbuckled his seat belt, and looked at the reporters who blocked the car door, wondering what to do.

"Aunt Han brought someone to pick her up, here she comes."

"Please give way, please step aside. Journalists, please don't waste your time. The court is about to start, so please don't waste your time."

Far away, Lu Ze saw Shen Jinghan leading more than a dozen strong men into the crowd, and soon separated a small space. After Lu Ze and Li Jun got off the car, these men led two People crowded towards the court door. Lu Ze's eyes were hurt by the flashlights along the way, but he showed no expression or spoke. He just chewed xylitol and entered the main entrance of the court.

"Brother Lu..."

Compared with the reporters' questions, the shout was as loud as a cat's meow. However, Lu Ze still keenly captured the source of the sound. Turning around, he saw that she was hiding behind the stone lion in the courthouse. She did not enter the crowd, wearing a Wearing a long black down jacket, almost reaching the length of his feet, he was holding a stone lion and looking at himself with wide eyes.

"fine......."

After comforting the girl, his voice was not too loud. I didn't know if she could hear it. This was the first time Lu Ze smiled today. He didn't force it, but he was very calm.

His departure still had a certain impact on many people. At least the girl who had been with him for almost seven years was fired. Liu Bin was also fired. Shen Jinghan took the initiative to terminate the contract. As for liquidated damages, she did not have it. Hu Zhiguang had He was friends with her, and it was Hu Zhiguang who invited her to come over to support his appearance. The penalty for breach of contract for her was set at one dollar.

Originally, Hu Zhiguang didn't expect her to be able to lead artists, but she fell in love with Lu Ze and stayed at Sega. Now that Lu Ze is leaving and she is fifty-six years old, she will not be able to lead artists anymore. It didn't make any sense, so I terminated my contracts with my other artists and chose to retire for the second time.

Shen Jinghan accompanied him into the court. The trial at the Intermediate People's Court was quite fast. If he had a busy day, he would have to take on two cases, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. However, there was usually not even one case in a day.

After all, commercial disputes also belong to the category of civil disputes. There is a contract, and you can pay whatever you want. It is not as complicated as criminal cases. That is, Lu Ze's case has more than 10 million yuan in funds. Otherwise, it will still be tried by the grassroots court. It's not as formal as in the TV series.

Before entering the trial room to rest, Lu Ze, the defendant, also met with the plaintiff's lawyer, the deputy director of the legal department that Li Shanjun brought in after entering the company.

After seeing Lu Ze and Li Jun, he sneered. This smile was not directed at Lu Ze, but for Li Jun. After all, this was destined to be a defeat. As long as there were no loopholes in the contract, even the world's top business lawyer The situation cannot be saved. The only question now is how much compensation to pay.

Entering the room, Lu Ze didn't ask about the level of the lawyer Zhang Xiangyang just now. He gave Li Jun full trust and just discussed with Li Jun how to answer when they entered the court.

Time passed bit by bit in the discussion. Soon, fifteen minutes before nine o'clock, the bailiff knocked on the door, took Lu Ze, Li Jun and Shen Jinghan out of the trial room, pushed open the court door and let the three of them in. Take a seat.

Sitting on the defendant's chair for the first time. It would be nonsense to describe this feeling as fresh. In short, the emotion is hard to explain clearly. The chair is not hard. As soon as Lu Ze sat down, he saw Feng Changhao and Zhang. The lawyers also entered the court and sat in their respective seats.

"I didn't expect that we would meet under such circumstances."

Feng Changhao didn't know how to evaluate Lu Ze. How about saying that he had the pride of an artistic person? Or should we evaluate him as ignorant of good and bad and unable to assess the situation? Or have a sense of resistance?

Indescribable.

Lu Ze did not reply to Feng Changhao's words. He just gave him an indifferent smile, rested his chin on his hands, and quietly waited for the judge to arrive.

Until three men aged forty and above entered the court. The oldest man sitting in the main seat, about fifty years old, opened the document, made a fist with his right hand and coughed, took out his glasses from the glasses case and put them on. , glanced at both sides.

“Today, the First Intermediate People’s Court of Shanghai, the First Civil Division, heard the case of the plaintiff “Qian Shijia Media Co., Ltd.” against the defendant “Lu Ze” in a commercial and economic dispute behind closed doors. The judge Wang Chunqiao, who is me, served as the presiding judge, and People's assessors Zhang Yumeng and Jia Gaozeng formed a collegial panel in accordance with the law, and the trial is now announced."
