Chapter 532: 532 Retrieving the Program
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the Meng family’s office building, Meng Si was admiring her new manicure when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, she did not pick it up and hung up.
In less than five minutes, another call came in. Meng Si was about to lose her temper when the assistant knocked on the door and entered, looking very flustered.
“Director Meng, did you answer the call just now?” The assistant asked, “It’s about our company’s new robot product next month. It’s better for you to answer it.”
Meng Si received dozens of calls a month asking her company to cooperate with her to develop a new robot. However, her company had no intention of sharing the robot program, so Meng Si always had a superior attitude when she answered the phone.
“Hello,” Meng Si picked up the phone. Before the other party could speak, she said directly, “I’m sorry. We don’t have the intention to cooperate in the development of robots for the time being. If we have the intention in the future, we will contact you.”
However, she did not hear the request for cooperation on the other end of the phone. She only heard a man say, “I’m sorry, Ms. Meng Si. I’m Lawyer Zhang from the Capital Law Firm. I didn’t call today to work with you on robots. It’s just that Mr. Wu has entrusted our firm to inform you and your company of some things.”
Lawyer Zhang told him about Professor Wu’s request and expressed his intention to take back the robot program. Although Lawyer Zhang’s tone was friendly, his attitude was very firm. Meng Si listened for five minutes and did not find a chance to interrupt.
“Ms. Meng, is there anything else you don’t understand about what I just said?” Lawyer Zhang asked.
Meng Si was dumbfounded. Her mind was a mess. Theft of someone else’s work? Invalid contract? Illegal behavior? She really didn’t understand what was going on.
But there was one thing she heard clearly, and that was that the robot program they were using now had to be stopped immediately.
“Mr. Lawyer, our company signed a five-year contract with Ms. Liu Xing, but it’s only been two years. Now, you want to take back the robot program with a phone call.” Meng Si asked furiously.
She couldn’t be blamed for being angry, because this robot program was an important support for her to have a place in the Meng family. If it weren’t for this program, she might not have been so valued by her grandfather.
At that time, Liu Xing’s transaction partner was not the entire Meng family, but Meng Si herself. Meng Si handed the item over to Old Master Meng, which was why Old Master Meng put Meng Si in an important position. If it was not for this item, Meng Si would definitely be put back to her position as a nobody.
Meng Si couldn’t accept such an outcome. No matter what, she wanted the best things. There were so many young ladies in the Capital, and only she had received the attention of the family, so she absolutely couldn’t lose everything she had now.
“Because Liu Xing stole someone else’s work, the contract you signed is invalid.” Lawyer Zhang’s tone was very serious. “You don’t have to doubt whether what we said is true or not. We will make this matter public in the future. In order to minimize your company’s losses, we reminded you in advance. If I were you, 1 would find the swindler and ask her to compensate for the loss.”
Meng Si was a little flustered. At first, she was a little suspicious, but she felt that no swindler would lie to the Meng family.
“Mr. Lawyer, let’s discuss this matter again. Please invite Mr. Wu over. I’ll treat him to a meal. I think there’s still room for negotiation regarding the contract.” Meng Si could no longer display her haughty attitude, so she could only lower her stance and maintain the contract.
“Miss Meng, I’m just a lawyer. We’ll tell you whatever the client wants. I’m just informing you today, so you’d better be prepared. In the next few days, we will have a specialized lawyer to deal with this matter.”
Meng Si wanted to say something more, but Lawyer Zhang was very busy. He hung up after saying a few words.
Old Professor Wu sat opposite the lawyer with an ugly expression. “Lawyer Zhang, I’ll leave this matter to you. Don’t worry about the lawyer’s fees. We will pay you handsomely.”
Lawyer Zhang smiled and said, “Mr. Wu, this is my job. I’ll do my best..”
