Chapter 90
The judge looked at Lu Weiwei: "Although the art exhibition was cancelled, it did not directly affect the sales of paintings. It is indeed unreasonable to use the value of the work to determine the compensation amount. Does the litigant have any other reasons for claiming?"
Lu Wei clenched her fists slightly.
Not nervous...
Not nervous...
This is a situation that has been expected, so don't be nervous...
When she wrote the first draft of the defense, Lin Chen reminded her that the other party would definitely use this reason to reject her demands.
However, it turns out that being blocked by people with words is like this...
The deer breathed deeply.
"Judge, the time when the two parties agreed to organize the exhibition was at the beginning of this year, and the time when the exhibition was planned to be exhibited was during the summer vacation, with a span of up to five months.
During the past five months, my client, Mr. Cheng Ji, has been preparing for the exhibition. Not only did he organize 96 works, but he also created 12 new works for this exhibition."
Lu Weiwei handed the documents in her hand to the bailiff for the court.
"This is the sales of Mr. Cheng Ji's works. In the past two years, he has held six art exhibitions, each time he sells about 20 works, with sales between 5 million and 1,600 million, and the average price of a single work is no less than 450,000."
The documents were transferred by the bailiff to the clerk.
The clerk will record it and submit it to the judge.
Lu Weiwei continued: "If we accept 250,000 yuan in compensation, it means that it will be worth 250,000 yuan in recognition of the amount of time that Mr. Cheng Ji spent as long as half a year. Judge, this is also unreasonable for an art creator."
"How can this half year be said to be a waste?" the lawyer frowned. "As long as he holds another art exhibition, these paintings can be sold. We just cancel the art exhibition and did not destroy his works!"
"Is time worth nothing?" Lu Weiwei immediately retorted, "For this exhibition, my client devoted himself to preparing his works and politely declined all exhibition invitations. Isn't this a loss? Also, what if the work contains current hot topics? Once it is postponed, the influence of the work will be greatly reduced! Isn't this a loss?!"
The lawyer was indignant: "Mr. Cheng Ji should pay for his faults, he caused his own losses! And brought trouble to others!"
The lawyer presents evidence to the judge.
"Judge, these contents are content posted on Cheng Ji's personal Weibo, and the terms are extremely filthy! I repeatedly slander and insult us! It has caused a very bad impact!"
Lu Weiwei's heart suddenly jumped and she immediately looked at the judge.
The judge indeed frowned.
"Judge!" Lu Weiwei explained anxiously, "I was misled by someone and posted these contents under anger..."
Before she finished speaking, she heard a subtle sigh behind her, as if she was regretful, and as if she was something else.
Lu Wei couldn't tell the difference clearly and became more and more nervous.
Why did Lin Chen sigh?
Did she say something wrong?
"Mr. Cheng Ji was not misled, but directed and acted by himself." The other lawyer smiled sneered and said bluntly, "After learning that the exhibition was cancelled, Mr. Cheng Ji was so angry that he deliberately spread false remarks online, slandering my client Mr. Xi's wife, who had an affair with him! He seriously hurt Mr. Xi and his wife's reputation!"
The deer was slightly shocked!
She subconsciously turned her head to see Cheng Ji—
Cheng Ji's eyes dodged.
At this time, the lawyer said again: "Just just now, the other party said that Mr. Cheng Ji devoted himself to preparing his works for the exhibition, and we expressed disagreement.
This is Mr. Cheng Ji’s credit card bill in the past six months. From the bill, it can be seen that most of Mr. Cheng Ji’s expenses are in a high-end nightclub called ‘Huangchao’.
At least half of the week, I spend my nights in a nightclub. Can this frequency be considered to be a concentrating on preparing works? I have been singing every night for half a year, and now I have turned around and asked us to compensate 7.5 million for the past six months. Mr. Cheng is really brave to speak up!"
A credit card bill is presented to the judge.
Lu Weiwei was stunned.
She finally realized that she had been involved in the trap set by the other party!
Chapter completed!
