Heart Stealer

Chapter 260 Winning the Case

Xiao Tuobang and his legal team understood that the adjournment was only a temporary respite and the real challenges were still ahead.

After returning to the company, Xiao Tuobang immediately convened a high-level meeting to discuss the next countermeasures.

"Since our opponents are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust."

Xiao Tuobang decided to personally investigate the R&D employee who had jumped ship.

After some twists and turns, he finally found some key clues, which may be the key to turning the situation around.

Two weeks later, the highly-watched case in which Qiu Group sued Niu Duoduo Company for infringement and unfair competition in the industry was heard again in court.

The atmosphere in the courtroom was solemn, and people held their breath waiting for the trial to begin.

With the crisp knock of the gavel in the judge's hand, the trial officially began in a solemn and serious atmosphere.

The lawyers for the plaintiff and the defendant once again engaged in heated debate on key issues such as the facts of the case and the legal basis.

Their words were sharp, like drawn swords, and neither of them gave in. The entire courtroom seemed to have become a battlefield without gunpowder smoke, and a tense atmosphere permeated every corner.

The debate gradually entered a white-hot stage, with both sides becoming more emotional and their words becoming more fierce.

However, the plaintiff's lawyer, Sun, showed extraordinary calmness.

He took out a document from his briefcase calmly, as if it was his trump card.

There was a confident smile on his face, a smile of certainty, as if he had foreseen the decisive impact this document would have.

Lawyer Sun slowly stood up, his steps steady and powerful.

He placed the document gently on the table and tapped it lightly with his finger to signal the judge's attention.

"Your Honor, this is the key evidence we have been looking for."

Lawyer Sun's voice was clear and firm, and his eyes were fixed on the judge, full of confidence and expectation.

When this mysterious evidence was presented to everyone, the whole audience was in an uproar.

People's eyes were focused on the document, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.

The lawyers on the side of Niu Duoduo Company looked very ugly. They whispered to each other and seemed a little flustered.

"How is this possible?" one of the lawyers wearing black glasses whispered, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Lawyer Wu tried to question the authenticity of the evidence. He stood up and said in a trembling voice,

"Your Honor, the source and authenticity of this evidence need to be verified..."

However, in the face of this overwhelming document, their excuses seemed feeble and they were unable to offer a convincing rebuttal.

The judge carefully examined the evidence, his eyes as sharp as a hawk, not missing any details.

He would ask lawyers on both sides for relevant details from time to time to ensure that he had a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the case.

"Lawyer Sun, please explain in detail the source of this evidence and the relevant circumstances."

Lawyer Sun nodded, stood up again, and explained in detail to the judge and those present the process of obtaining the evidence and its authenticity.

After some tense deliberation, the judge finally made a verdict.

He solemnly announced: "Based on the existing evidence and relevant laws and regulations, this court finds that the Qiu Group wins the case!"

This verdict fell like a bolt from the blue on the heads of the Niu Duoduo company representatives. They looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

Their bodies trembled slightly, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

Upon hearing this verdict, Xiao Tuobang, who was sitting in the gallery, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He tilted his head slightly, a barely perceptible smug smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

This lawsuit is of great significance to Xiao Tuobang. It not only safeguards the legitimate rights and interests of the Qiu Group, but also severely hits its competitor Niu Duoduo Company.

……

The loss of the lawsuit was like a heavy hammer that hit Niu Duoduo Company hard, causing it to suffer unprecedented damage.

In addition to the beverages currently on sale in the market, their warehouses are also piled high with large quantities of inventory that have yet to be shipped.

These stocks are like abandoned children, silently waiting for the judgment of fate.

Just changing the product packaging and paying labor costs will cost a huge amount of money, which will undoubtedly make the already troubled Niu Duoduo Company even worse.

As the wife of the president of Niu Duoduo Company, Ye Qingxin was extremely angry about losing the lawsuit.

She flew into a rage in the conference room and severely scolded the people responsible for the product.

This seemed not enough to calm her anger, and she required everyone to write a profound self-criticism to reflect on their mistakes.

After learning from the painful experience, Ye Qingxin decided to negotiate with Xiao Tuobang in person, hoping to recover some of the economic losses.

Ye Qingxin turned on her cell phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she dialed the familiar number.

Xiao Tuobang's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. Ye Qingxin asked cautiously,

"Tuobang, I want to talk to you about our two companies..."

Xiao Tuobang did not make things difficult for Ye Qingxin and answered directly.

"Okay, where?"

Ye Qingxin gave the name of a high-end restaurant. She hoped that such an environment would help both parties remain calm and rational.

Xiao Tuobang agreed without hesitation and seemed to be looking forward to this meeting.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingxin hurriedly got into her car and rushed towards the restaurant where they had agreed to meet.

She walked into the restaurant and found a seat by the window.

Ye Qingxin nervously fiddled with the menu in her hand, looking towards the door from time to time, expecting Xiao Tuobang to appear.

The sunlight shone through the window onto her face, reflecting her slightly haggard appearance.

Not long after, Xiao Tuobang walked into the restaurant elegantly in an exquisite suit.

His steps were slightly hesitant, and his eyes searched around the restaurant for Ye Qingxin's figure.

When he finally saw Ye Qingxin, an indescribable complex expression appeared on his face.

Xiao Tuobang walked up to Ye Qingxin, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Ye Qingxin spoke first,

"Tuobang, thank you for coming."

Xiao Tuobang nodded slightly, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.

He looked at Ye Qingxin quietly without saying a word, but his cold eyes conveyed an invisible pressure.

Ye Qingxin took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She knew that the upcoming negotiations would be very difficult, but she couldn't back down.

"Mr. Xiao, I won't say any more nonsense. We lost miserably in this lawsuit." Ye Qingxin's voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying to suppress the pain in her heart. "I hope we can sit down and have a good talk and find a solution."

Xiao Tuobang looked at Ye Qingxin with a condescending attitude and said coldly,

"Ms. Ye, I'm happy to talk to you. However, I believe the court's ruling this time is fair. Your product does infringe copyright."

Ye Qingxin's expression changed instantly. She clenched her fists tightly, trying hard to suppress her inner anger.

There was anger flashing in her eyes, but she knew that losing her temper at this moment would not solve the problem.

"Mr. Xiao, we are all businessmen. There is no need to be so extreme. If you are willing to compromise, we can consider giving you some compensation in other ways."

Xiao Tuobang was unmoved by Ye Qingxin's proposal. He shook his head and said with a firm and resolute look,

"I don't want to compromise on principles. Unless you admit your mistakes and take corresponding responsibilities, it will be difficult for us to continue the discussion."

The conversation between the two reached a deadlock and the atmosphere became extremely tense.

Since neither side was willing to give in, the meeting between Ye Qingxin and Xiao Tuobang ended in a bad mood.

Ye Qingxin realized that the negotiations with Xiao Tuobang would not succeed easily, so she decided to take other measures to protect the interests of Niu Duoduo Company.
