After leaving the armed police force, Lin Tao drove to the gate of the court. He thought that the lawsuit would take several hours, but he didn't expect it to end just in time for the trial.

Three lawyers walked down the steps arrogantly, and a group of reporters armed with long guns and short cannons, as well as various cameras and extended microphones, all were sent in front of the three of them, asking various questions in a hurry.

It's not just who said first: "Isn't that Lin Tao?"

Then everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Tao's bird of prey, and he surrounded him with a "hula", and the surroundings of the three lawyers were instantly empty.

After knocking on the door and taking pictures, Lin Tao smiled wryly, knowing that he came at the wrong time, so he had to open the door and get out of the car, and said loudly, "Don't make noise, ask one by one!" As he spoke, he waved to the three lawyers.

After barely squeezing into the crowd, one of them leaned over and said in a low voice: "Boss, it's all settled, and there's no need for a second court session. Junbei Evening News is scared."

"Is that a coward?" Lin Tao was still a little strange. It stands to reason that the editor-in-chief of Junbei Evening News dared not even listen to Guo Zhaohui's words. The people behind him must be very powerful. It is very likely that Chang Zhengwu is so powerful. His backer, why did he fail in a lawsuit?

"Yes! The Junbei Evening News admitted it, and their attorney said that if possible, we can settle, and the compensation fee is only high!" The lawyer persuaded, "In fact, under normal circumstances, settlement is still more cost-effective. A normal procedure trial will not pay much money in the end.” As a lawyer, he definitely likes to solve problems through reconciliation, which saves effort and time.

Lin Tao shook his head and said, "It's impossible to reconcile. I'm not short of money. My reputation is far more important than money. I think you understand this better than me!"

The lawyer rubbed his nose, smiled awkwardly, nodded and said: "Boss, I understand!" After hitting a soft nail, the lawyer also understood that the employer didn't go for compensation at all, what he wanted was to get the job done. It's just making a big fuss.

"That's good!"

Lin Tao turned his head and said to the reporters: "Everyone, if you have anything to say, come one by one. I can't hear you all talking!"

A burly reporter squeezed out and grabbed the first opportunity to ask questions.

"You did not attend the trial, and the Junbei Evening News only has a lawyer representing it. Are you confident in the outcome, or have you reached a settlement agreement with the Junbei Evening News in private?"

Lin Tao said: "Reconciliation is absolutely impossible!" In the first sentence, he set the tone for this lawsuit, and he will not stop until he wins or loses. "Actually, I really want to attend the trial, and I also want to hear how the Junbei Evening News defended it. Because of some temporary circumstances, I regret not being able to make it to the trial."

Seeing a colleague behind him scrambling to ask a question, this strong and physically fit reporter immediately blocked the other party behind him and continued to ask: "That is to say, this relationship must be tried by the court to see the result, and other solutions are not considered. gone?"

"That's right, don't think about it!" Lin Tao said with a serious expression, "I think the media understands me now. I have savings, a career, and I am not short of money at all. If the Junbei Evening News thinks that money can solve the problem , That’s a big mistake! For me, money is definitely not as important as reputation, and my reputation is not only my own, but also Junbei’s, and Donghai’s. What I won for me is the honor conferred by the country. A newspaper office pushed me to the forefront with a false report, and it did not consider that my problem would affect the municipal party committee, the provincial party committee and the provincial government among the people. It also indirectly questioned the country's mechanism and practical significance in screening the good people of the Republic, which is not a trivial matter."

Lin Tao is bad enough, for such a trivial matter to go online, involving the country, province, and city. If tomorrow all major universities broadcast this episode every day, then the life of Junbei Evening News will definitely become more and more difficult.

"Also, no matter how big or small, the most important thing is to be fair. The report of the Junbei Evening News has brought a lot of trouble to my life and caused an irreparable impact on my reputation. If it is only because of money Asking me to withdraw the lawsuit is the greatest insult to me!" Lin Tao waved his arms and said in a righteous voice, "It is the responsibility of the media to dig deeper into the news. If I am really a heinous villain, the behavior of the Junbei Evening News Undoubtedly, it is to eliminate harm for the people, but I am not that kind of person, so the behavior of the Junbei Evening News is slander! Why does a well-known newspaper have trouble with a small person like me, isn’t it a question that you should think carefully about?”

Lin Tao smiled coldly, seemingly mocking the media. In fact, he had already planted a thorn in the hearts of these reporters. Since the Junbei Evening News had already confessed in the court trial, there was no need for them to speak up for their colleagues. , not to mention that this is a disgrace to the media industry.

Now that Lin Tao said this, they immediately became aware of the problem. It is understandable for a newspaper to break the news normally, but there is definitely a problem with putting a pot of shit on a person's head.

Lin Tao raised this question. Whether someone will investigate later, or if everyone pretends not to hear it collectively, it depends on the energy of each media.

"Mr. Lin, I would like to ask, why do you think the Junbei Evening News slandered you?" A snarky female reporter finally poked her head out, but she was squeezed to the back just after she finished her question, sweating profusely.

Lin Tao stretched out his hand and gently pulled her out of the crowd. She used "slander" just now, which shows that she has fully accepted her statement. For such a reporter, she still needs to be taken care of.

"Actually, this is also where I wonder. The Junbei Evening News is the local media that has reported the most about the two things I went to Taiwan to donate hematopoietic stem cells and being elected as a good man of the Republic. I have always had a good relationship, but I don't know this time. What's the matter, it's okay to suppress me in the public opinion, but they want to kill them all! This level of slander and slander is simply abhorrent, which is why I want to fight the lawsuit with Junbei Evening News to the end. In fact, I You are more curious than you why a well-known newspaper should treat a good citizen like me like this."

When narrating this question, Lin Tao's expression was heartbroken, and his tone was even more aggrieved, and his voice seemed to have magic power, which made all the interviewers show an expression of indignation, and the emotional aspect has completely followed him.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Lin Tao didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, and said, "Everyone, I will hold another press conference when the lawsuit comes to an end, and you can ask questions at that time!"

Lin Tao nodded to the three lawyers, and the four quickly got into the car. The raptor started slowly, and the reporter automatically gave way, without chasing and blocking.

"Boss, you can handle the media well enough to be a spokesperson." A lawyer joked.

"After this incident, I don't want to deal with the media in the future." Lin Tao was a little hurt.

After sending the three lawyers to Jinhui Hotel, Lin Tao went straight to Xiao Jinhui's office. Shenghe Group's support at the critical moment helped him a lot in public opinion, so naturally he should thank him face to face.

He is also a frequent visitor of Jinhui Hotel, and he doesn't need to make an appointment at all. When the secretary took him in, the Xiao family and his son were all in the office.

"Uncle Xiao, Brother Xiao, thank you for today's matter." Lin Tao clenched his fists in a quack manner.

"They're all on our own, as they should be." Xiao Jinhui pulled him to sit down and poured a glass of red wine.

"We watched the live broadcast of the trial. The three lawyers you hired are really powerful. They questioned the lawyer representing the Junbei Evening News so much that they couldn't even speak their defense."

Xiao Guoqiang said: "Aren't the lawyers hired from the capital cheap?"

"I don't know the price. My friend hired me for help. Anyway, as long as they win the lawsuit for me, it will be fine."

"You are really generous. Lawyers' fees are very expensive now. The legal consultants of Shenghe Group cost several million a year." Xiao Guoqiang shook his head and said, "If I knew it was so profitable, I would have asked Jinhui to study law."

"Dad, stop being funny, haven't you read the data report? Now law is one of the ten most difficult majors to get a job. It's a good time for these lawyers who can make money. If you just graduate and try now, you probably won't Can starve to death." Xiao Jinhui said.

After chatting for a while, Lin Tao was about to stand up and say goodbye, but Xiao Jinhui stopped him and said, "Don't go, Zhaohui will come over at night, let's have some food together, he seems to have something to do with you."

"Don't worry about it, the people in the Propaganda Department are the most annoyed now, everyone is the same!" Lin Tao waved his hands irritably.

Xiao Jinhui laughed and said, "If Zhaohui finds out about this, you won't even see a member of the municipal committee standing committee. I guess he'll have to find a piece of tofu to kill him."

Xiao Guoqiang stood up and said, "You young people are chatting, I'll go back to the group to see and comfort those old guys, otherwise there will be a catastrophe!"

Lin Tao said: "Uncle Xiao, don't say anything else, thank you again."

After sending Xiao Guoqiang away, Xiao Jinhui asked, "Why, you really don't plan to have any contact with the authorities?"

"How is it possible..." Lin Tao said, drinking red wine, "How can I do without dealing with the authorities these days, I just feel a little resentful and complain a few words."

"Zhao Hui also knows that he is wrong, even if you tell him face to face, he probably can't be angry."

"I'm not that stupid. He treats me right away, but thinking about it from another angle, he's also been bullied by others, and he's angry in his heart. I don't want to touch this bad luck." Lin Tao shook his head quickly.

"You're quite smart, kid. It seems you haven't been dazzled by the victory." Xiao Jinhui said, "What do you plan to do after you win the lawsuit?"

"Finish the Mingzhu project well first, and then my Sweet Potato Shop is gradually getting on the right track, step by step."

"As long as you know what's in your mind! When Zhaohui comes, pour him a few cups and take it out." Xiao Jinhui patted him on the shoulder.

"I don't dare. It's up to you to do this. My relationship with him is not as good as yours. It would be a fool to wear small shoes for me." Lin Tao smiled slightly, but he didn't listen to Xiao Jinhui's words.
