The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual.
After arriving at work, he handed over the evaluation materials and video evidence from 4S to Director Ma Huaiyang of the legal department.
The remaining matters, he let Ma handle, as Ma’s connections in this area were beyond Lin Yi’s comparison.
After arranging these matters, Lin Yi continued searching for suitable materials.
Maybe he could use them in future system tasks.
Just then, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a message from Zhao Jing.
"Come to my office for a moment."
Putting down the phone, Lin Yi went to Zhao Jing’s office.
"What’s the matter?"
"The time has come when we need you."
As she spoke, Zhao Jing pushed over a note with two names and contact information written on it.
"We’ve already negotiated with four people, but we still need two more. We’re inclined toward these two, but other shows are also in talks with them. You try getting in touch."
"Even what you guys can’t manage, I might not be able to either," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Don’t say that, I highly acknowledge your proficiency in language, and having a handsome guy talk to them might be more effective."
"What’s the budget for them?"
"Xu Ying’s offer is 1.2 million, Yin Sha’s offer is 800,000. It would be great if you could get them for a lower price," Zhao Jing said:
"If you have time, you can go in person. Travel expenses will be reimbursed at the highest standard."
"Alright, I’ll give it a try."
Having received Zhao Jing’s task, Lin Yi returned to his workstation.
At the same time, he sent a message to Yan Ci,
Lin Yi: "What level are Xu Ying and Yin Sha in the entertainment industry, and what’s their current asking price?"
Yan Ci: "Both are powerhouse former top female singers, but their popularity has waned quite a bit. Their asking price for recording a variety show is about 1.5 million and 1 million."
Yan Ci: "Has Zhao Jing asked you to contact these two people?"
Lin Yi: "She gave me a budget of 1.2 million and 800,000, asking me to try contacting them."
Zhao Jing: "Although the price is a bit low, it’s not unreasonable. I’ll help you reach out."
Lin Yi: "Okay."
After chatting with Yan Ci, Lin Yi continued to focus on his tasks, trying to gather some controversial content for filming.
Soon, the day passed, and just before the end of the workday, Ma Huaiyang called Lin Yi.
"Director Lin, everything is settled, the court has issued a compensation amount of 448,000, along with the detailed compensation each person should pay. We can issue the summons at any time."
"Is this 448,000 figure forced in, or was it calculated?"
"Calculated. Because the windshields of two cars were scratched, one of which is a Land Rover exceeding 1.5 million, the repair cost is very high. Plus an A8, which also had wheel scratches, thus the expenses are high. Adding lost wages, we indeed need to compensate this much money."
"Looks like asking them for 200,000 would be too little."
"Indeed, 200,000 is already very fair," Ma Huaiyang said with a smile:
"Director Lin, if there are no other issues, we can issue the summons to them now."
"I’ll send you these people’s workplaces, deliver the summons to their offices, and apply some pressure on their bosses. You understand what I mean, right?"
"Understood. If they don’t pay, just fire them. Fight fire with fire, and deal with the wicked the wicked way."
"Smart."
After hanging up on Ma Huaiyang, Lin Yi stretched.
If there are no surprises, this matter should be resolved by tomorrow.
After clocking out, Qin Han called Lin Yi to go drinking. That evening, the four gathered at his barbecue restaurant, drank excessively, and afterwards, three of them went to the hotel Lin Yi went to Li Chuhan’s place, where he slept soundly.
The next day during work, Ma Huaiyang called again.
He informed Lin Yi that everything was arranged; the summons had been sent out and would soon arrive at their companies.
...
Guanghui Accounting Company.
Zhou Li was an auditor at this company, with a busy daily workload.
"Is Zhou Li here?"
The courier stood at the company’s entrance, shouting inside.
"I’m here."
"There’s a package for you, come and sign for it."
"A package?"
