Chapter 112 Shark Lawyer
Martha stopped the car. When Shakel saw it, he sent the girl around him away, and then walked towards her car directly. He was very fast, and his chin was slightly raised when he walked, giving people a sense of vague oppression.
Chen Fan got out of the car and took his luggage. He had never met the shark before, but the shark was now hurried towards him.
But Martha seemed to know what he wanted to do and immediately stopped Shakel.
"Shakel, what's wrong with you?" Martha asked with a smile on her face. The position she stood separated Chen Fan from the man in front of her.
Taking off his sunglasses, Shakker looked at the woman who was one head shorter than him. This woman was indeed a difficult opponent. If he was a shark, then this woman was a female wolf, and the female wolf was hungry! One was the overlord of the sea and the other was a strong man on land. Of course, the strength was huge, but the sharks in the sea could not bite the wolf on land, so Shakker felt that he had no idea how to start Martha.
Although the two people are in the same camp, they have different requests. They seek wealth, but this unpredictable woman needs a reputation that he no longer needs. Naturally, the two people will have differences.
Generally speaking, as long as he Shakel takes action, no matter what lawyer, he can convince him, but this woman is indeed not good at all. It seems that she will definitely be convinced as long as she is given a chance, so the two of them have very few opportunities to talk alone. This makes him feel powerful but unable to use it, which is a situation he has never encountered before.
Today he knew that Martha went to pick up Chen Fan, so he wanted to seize this opportunity to convince Martha or deal with Chen Fan more directly. After all, the lawyer is a lawyer, and the employer asks the lawyer to do it. Not everyone has such strong persuasiveness as him.
"I'll meet Mr. Chen Fan. Speaking of which, he is also my employer. Don't you want me to see him?" Mr. Shark spoke with a strong impact. This sentence was very loud, and it was for Martha, and even more for Chen Fan.
This sentence is actually a bit provocative. I don’t want him to see Chen Fan. Is that because he will tell some inside information that Chen Fan doesn’t understand? There will always be people who can’t help but doubt it, but Chen Fan did not have doubts... If Martha hides anything from him, he will notice it. This is his confidence in his intuition.
Chen Fan took his bag, then walked over, reached out and smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Shark. I have heard of your name from many people."
When Martha saw Chen Fan coming to say hello, she stood next to Chen Fan.
Shakel held Chen Fan's hand and smiled and said, "You will hear my name from more people in the future! If you also want to have a reputation and status like me, I want to ask you not to sign this settlement agreement."
After retracting his hand, Chen Fan asked with a smile: "Oh? Why? Miss Martha told me that this is a breakthrough in the whole case."
"Yes, with this breakthrough, the other defendants will definitely panic. In addition, this will also tell the judge that the media did something wrong!" Martha explained from the side, and she did not seem panic about Shakel's provocation.
"Naughty!" Shackle scoffed at Martha's explanation, and he said with exaggerated physical movements: "In America, there has never been a simple legal problem. All laws are decided by people! Do you think you go to this down-and-out contributor to the other party's lawyer? Do you know that the contributor's wife has cancer and he has a disabled son? If you ask him to sign this agreement, the other party's lawyer will say that it is oppression, which is a great damage to our image! This will have a significant impact on the judgment of the case! Mr. Chen, I hope you think carefully!"
"I'm sorry, I don't know. But... this doesn't change anything! According to my method, maybe we don't need to go to court to solve this matter!" Martha said with a cold face. She did not investigate the family status of the writer, but knew that his financial situation was not good.
Shakel smiled contemptuously and said, "Maybe? I dare to assure you that this case will definitely be tried! Such a good stage is something that lawyers want to participate in. Aren't you one of them?"
Yes, Shakel and Chen Fan have the same idea. This case involving dozens of media outlets is an excellent opportunity for lawyers to show their talents to the world. There are few cases like this that can not only gain reputation but also gain benefits in recent years.
Shakel said that he was thinking about Chen Fan. In fact, he was afraid that the performance would be over before the curtain of the case was opened. The stage belonged to him, and he would not allow such a thing to happen!
He chose to take over Chen Fan because he believed that Chen Fan was slandered. He didn't care whether this oriental hired a gunman. He only knew that this young oriental chose to go against many media. In this case where David challenged the giant Goliath, he would of course choose to stand on the side of the weak. In this way, he could win the lawsuit to show his strength!
Listening to Shakel's passionate words, Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for us to stand at the door of the hotel to discuss this issue? Let's go in first."
After saying that, Chen Fan walked towards the hotel gate. Shakel suddenly felt awkward. Why did this Chen Fan make him feel powerless like that woman?
Chen Fan left, and Martha immediately threw the car keys to the concierge, and then followed Chen Fan into the hotel, Shackled followed him. Chen Fan's attitude was the key, and he had convinced Mr. Curry from the publishing house.
When he walked to the hotel, Chen Fan opened a room with his passport, and then the three of them went to the room first, and did not go directly to the poor writer.
When he entered the room, Shakel asked Chen Fan directly and said, "Mr. Chen, what are you going to do? I must warn you that if you sign that agreement, we may lose this lawsuit!"
"Maybe? Who knows what will happen in the future? It's too much for you to guess." Martha also started to laugh like Shakel at this time.
Shakel smiled, and Chen Fan felt that there was a sense of pride in it that the plan succeeded.
"Of course, with my experience of so many cases, I can certainly make predictions. What ability do you have to make predictions? Have you experienced civil cases above $1 million? No, predictions with no experience at all are called imagination. Only with such rich experience can I make speculations! I don't know if you understand, noob!" Shakel said with a mocking face.
Martha looked cold and did not refute immediately. It was obvious that the other party had grasped her weakness of inexperience. This was the fact that she had nothing to say. She didn't want to leave an immature impression on Chen Fan with pale arguments. As Mark's documentary said, this young oriental man had a maturity beyond his age.
"Mr. Shackle, there is no need to put such pressure on Martha. She is a newcomer, so you can't take her with her?" Chen Fan persuaded with a smile.
Shackle said confidently, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, all American lawyers have grown up in mean language. We are still standing in the same trenches. I have actually shown mercy on what I say. If her opponent says it... Haha, you can imagine that situation."
American lawyers said they were clever and underestimated them. Although they were not as invincible as in TV and movies, satirical and attack were normal. They were all fighters, and the court was their arena. No matter how good the relationship was in private, if you don’t want to lose after going to court, you must show your own skills.
At this time, the role of thick-skinned and strong-hearted is the best defensive weapon, and Martha obviously already has these.
Chen Fan smiled and nodded, and then he said, "Thank you Mr. Shackle for being so concerned about this lawsuit."
Shakel nodded with a smile. He felt as if he had convinced Chen Fan, but Chen Fan's words disappointed him next.
"Actually, this lawsuit is a little irrelevant to me now. It is good to be able to win, but it is acceptable to be able to calm the matter even if you lose the case. It will take me a lot of energy to go to court, so I support Martha's decision. No matter how the other party's lawyer handles this matter, I will still sign the agreement." Chen Fan of course wanted to win this lawsuit. His determination at the beginning of the lawsuit did not change, and of course these words were specifically targeted at Shakel.
No matter what Chen Fan uses, the process is not important. He only wants to win the result, and Shakel is a little greedy. He not only wants to win but also wants to win in a grand manner. Even if he loses, he wants to reflect his value in a grand manner. It can be said that Shakel puts his goal above the requirements of Chen Fan, the customer.
Even if Chen Fan clearly expressed his support for Martha, Shakel did not give up. He rushed to Chen Fan and looked at him seriously and said, "Mr. Chen, you must believe in my ability! You must also believe in my record! I will give you a victory! Then you will get the greatest benefit! Whether it is fame or money! You must listen to me!"
Shakel's face was very serious and his tone was very excited, and a special fluctuation came directly towards Chen Fan. Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly but soon returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Of course I believe in your ability and strength, so I hope you can resolve this lawsuit with Martha! But I like to be more secure. If you don't go to court, you won't go to court."
Shakel was obviously very disappointed, but he did not lose his demeanor, and shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, I hope the final result is not as bad as I expected."
Chen Fan felt that the shark had not given up on his plan. Next, it depends on Martha. From their conversation just now, Martha obviously knew how to deal with this shark. This was a restless shark. If it were before, Chen Fan might have fired him directly. Martha had found a gap in the lawsuit victory. Chen Fan didn't want this lawyer who thought about himself than his client, but Shakel's persuasion to him just now made Chen Fan let go of this idea.
This fierce-eating Mr. Shark is actually a psychic. No wonder he was able to achieve such a achievement. It was obviously his ability that made him invincible in the Dharma**.
But Mr. Shark didn't seem to know that he had the ability. He used his ability to Chen Fan just now, but Chen Fan still rejected him. He did not seem very disappointed or showed any suspicious expressions. In addition, he did not use this ability in his conversation with Martha. From these two aspects, it can be seen that Shakel did not understand the talents he possessed.
His ability to use his abilities is entirely due to his desire to convince Chen Fan, and it can be seen that his abilities are not omnipotent. Otherwise, Martha would have been convinced by him long ago, which means that some people with firm minds can withstand the influence of his abilities.
When Chen Fan met such a psychic person who didn't know that he had superpowers, he was interested in observing it.
