Chapter 32:Case (2/2)
”Mrs. Jian,” Qian Meigui began politely, ”We want to make sure everything goes smoothly today. We will cooperate as we expect you to as well.”
”Very Well then,” Mrs. Jian said.
Wen Zhaohui began, ”the plaintiff is accusing that the defendant—company Song Pharmaceuticals—has sold defective products resulting in injuries of the plaintiff's son, is this correct?”
”Yes,” Mrs. Jian said. ”They tried to kill my son and use him as an experiment.”
”This is a severe accusation Mrs. Jian,” Wen Zhaohui claimed, ”if we proceed with this, you must make sure that you have the proper evidence to support your case. Otherwise, we can countersue.”
”You would sue a low-income family? For what money? The Song family is abundant in wealth,” Mrs. Jian looked toward Qian Meigui, ”And you want to ruin a family that has nothing?”
”Mrs. Jian, you are right,” Qian Meigui began, ”This is about business.”
”You're accusing the company of a serious offence, which is harmful to the business. But this is not about the reputation of the company—no. This about the thousands of jobs that you can put on the line for something that may not even be true. For something that may be motivated by self-interest.”
”Let me rephrase if you are right, we will compensate how much you want and submit a public apology, but if you are wrong, we will sue for defamation. Our company has been built based on trust and integrity; we do not risk lives; we save them. Therefore, we do our best to ensure the health of our consumers,” Qian Meigui finished.
Mrs. Jian's eyes were hard and cold, unforgiving. It appeared that even with her words, she would not convince the family to step away from burying themselves.
”I don't take the words of a spoiled heiress seriously,” Mrs. Jian said.
”Mrs. Jian, I don't want to sue your family, that's the last thing I want. I am merely allowing you to step away. We can compensate for the fees of your lawyer and time, but we do not expect us to pay millions of yuan without a fair trial to begin.”
”I want a trial; I want justice,” Mrs. Jian stated.
”Very well then,” Qian Meigui said, ”thank you for your time.”
The Jian's left the room, and Qian Meigui decided to prepare more for the case. But she realized she might need the help of an individual she had been avoiding.
