Cao Bin felt increasingly that his boss was really unreliable. The real estate company is now in a state of turmoil because of the three lawsuits in front of him. Zhou Liwen, as the boss, didn't care about it, but at this time he found a guy from somewhere to know what the situation was.

At first, Cao Bin thought Zhou Liwen had contacted the relationship and found the way for the city leaders. But when he arrived at the place, he saw that the so-called Mr. Wen lived in a hotel and had no official spirit. He smiled and spoke in Beijing accent, just like a family conversation, and asked him the whole story, including the number, name, age of the person who called him.

Cao Bin himself didn't know any of the names and ages. The other party had never reported his home from the beginning. As for the phone number, he had some, because it was directly called to his mobile phone and there was a record of display. After Mr. Wen asked about this, he even sued the three-branch factory in the two companies, and the District State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the District Court for the key issues that the real estate company sued the district court, so he asked Cao Bin to go back.

Cao Bin, who came with hope, returned disappointed. In his opinion, Mr. Wen, whom Zhou Liwen found, was not reliable than him. This matter might not be resolved. The next thing might be to argue for a long time and hold trials. The more this situation continues, the greater the losses to the real estate company, and it is very likely that the company will be dragged down as he expected at first.

In desperation, Cao Bin could only take the silence of the horse and tried to take action. After returning to the company, he consulted with the legal counsel to discuss and prepare for the lawsuit. No matter what, the procedure that should be taken must be left. Even if he lost the case in the end, he had to struggle. The next day, Cao Bin took his lawyer to the district court. The district court first agreed on the time for mediation for both parties according to the procedures. The mediation time was determined at 10 o'clock tomorrow. After coming out of the court, Cao Bin reported the situation to Zhou Liwen. Zhou Liwen didn't say much, and just asked him to go directly to the court when he was about to come tomorrow, but the mediation must be started before he arrived.

On the day of the mediation, Cao Bin arrived at the court with his lawyer, including his vice president Lu Ziliang, at around 9:20. After contacting the staff, the staff asked them to wait in the same place and told Cao Bin that today's court mediation would be held in the collegial panel. Hearing this statement, Cao Bin, Lu Ziliang and others looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

As expected, around 9:40, the other party, the people from the District State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, arrived. However, they did not come by themselves. They also came with a court president of the district court and two other judges. Four people came to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, plus three people from the court, and seven people came in from outside in a mighty manner, looking like they were talking and laughing while walking.

Seeing this scene, Cao Bin's heart sank. Needless to say, the other party was clearly in a group of people. Today's mediation was just the other party borrowed this method to give them a look. The result of the mediation would not be possible unless the real estate company took the initiative to accept the requests made by the district State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.

As the legal counsel and lawyer of a real estate company, he shook his head secretly when he saw this scene. There is no need to continue the lawsuit. The mediation is like this. I don’t know what the situation will be when the court is officially opened. Now I just hope that the other party’s offer will not be too high, or that the real estate company will voluntarily give up the land under previous conditions, at least in this way, it will only lose the deposit and there will be no more trouble.

"Old Cao, what should I do?" Lu Ziliang couldn't help asking.

Cao Bin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What else can I do? Take one step at a time. Besides, we can't make the decision. When the boss comes, he will see what he says."

"By the way, why haven't the boss come yet?" When talking about Zhou Liwen, Lu Ziliang looked at his watch anxiously. It was almost 9:50 now, and Zhou Liwen has not shown up yet. Didn't he say he would come here today?

"I'll call the boss." Cao Bin felt even more guilty when he saw that Zhou Liwen had not appeared at this time, and quickly took out the phone and wanted to dial it.

"Defendant! Please be careful! Mediation is about to be carried out soon, please do not use communication tools!" Before Cao Bin could press the number, a judge closest to them reminded him in a serious language.

"This... today our boss said he was coming here. The first time he came to this unfamiliar place, maybe he couldn't find the room for a while. Isn't this time coming soon? I want to call and ask if others have arrived. If I'm at the door, I can tell him the place."

"This is your business!" The judge was like a selfless Bao Gong, and said with a cold face: "Do you think this is your family, this is the court! What does your boss have to do with our work? The court notified you yesterday that the specific mediation time. If the time comes, the mediation will still be carried out as scheduled!"

"But comrade, the boss didn't come, so we couldn't do this mediation," Cao Bin explained anxiously.

"Haha, it's just a joke!" The judge sneered: "What? Do you think the court was held by your family? This court held a court, and the mediation work has to be waited for you? Do you think it's a treat? Where is the court? There are rules! When the time comes, no matter whether your boss or the boss lady comes or not, what does it have to do with our court? If you can't make the decision, the mediation today will be recorded in accordance with the legal procedures."

"I..." Cao Bin also wanted to explain that the lawyer around him hurriedly pulled him. In fact, there are such rules in the formal court hearing. However, the use of communication tools is not restricted in mediation. But today's situation is different. It is mediation in the collegial panel. The court insists on doing business and they can't do anything. At this time, the only one who is obsessed with this issue in the end is himself.

"The quality of people nowadays needs to be improved!" At this moment, a sarcastic voice sounded. Cao Bin was stunned when he heard this voice, and looked up at the person talking.

He was very familiar with the voice, which was exactly the guy who called and threatened him before. After seeing this person clearly, the other party was sitting in the plaintiff's position, about fifty years old, wearing a suit and acting like an official. Among the few people who came to the district State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission today, it seemed that he was the leader.

"Director Wang, the legal system construction in our society must be further promoted. If this person does not understand the law, it is easy for something to happen. The soundness of national laws is also necessary to strengthen the personal legal concept. Since it is in many aspects of current economic construction, it is absolutely impossible not to understand the law!"

"Haha, Director Zheng is right. This is indeed what we legal workers should pay attention to. In recent years, the superior leadership departments have been advocating to strengthen the concept of the legal system, strengthen legal publicity, and improve legal system construction. Our court has been doing publicity and efforts in this regard, but the task is long and it cannot be done in a short while."

The other party discussed the legal system in front of Cao Bin, but Cao Bin could hear clearly what it meant inside and outside. This was simply a naked bang and threat, and the warning meaning could be heard by the idiots.

"It's over!" Cao Bin now has no hope at all. If he had known this, why would he have to mediate? If he had just started the court, he would have been less humiliated. Now he was sitting, just like a monkey being tricked, letting the other party make him laugh.

The last few minutes passed quickly, and it was almost ten o'clock, but Zhou Liwen's shadow was gone. Cao Bin was already planning to make the mediation today and prepare for the trial later. Besides, if Zhou Liwen doesn't come, he, a general manager, can't make the decision, right? Moreover, today's incident has been in trouble until now, so he has tried his best.

But at 9:59, when the judge looked at the time and was about to announce the start of mediation, the door suddenly opened. Cao Bin was immediately delighted and quickly looked up at the door.

"Huh!" After seeing this, Cao Bin was disappointed. The person who came was not Zhou Liwen, but a very young man. The man seemed to have been staying up all night. He shook his way with two big dark circles. After entering the door, he looked around and saw clearly the sign of the plaintiff and the defendant on the table in front of both sides, and then walked towards Cao Bin and the others.

After walking a few steps, the judge who had stopped Cao Bin from calling before shouting and asked him what he did.

"Is this a collegial panel?" asked the young man.

"right!"

"Is the mediation between Fidelity Real Estate and the District State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission here?"

"yes!"

"Didn't it start at ten o'clock? Isn't it past ten o'clock when I came?"

"This...yes, are you..."

"What else can I ask if I'm right? What's wrong? Do you have to investigate the household registration when conducting pre-trial mediation? There is no such rule?" The young man rolled his eyes and directly said to the judge. The judge was confused by the question for a moment. Before he could react, the young man walked to Cao Bin and the others with a swagger: "Hey! Who is Mr. Cao?"

"I am, you are..." Cao Bin's second monk was confused. Why did such a person appear if Zhou Liwen didn't appear? Who is this person?

After looking at Cao Bin up and down, the young man grinned and said, "Oh, you are my Brother Zhou's person, Dele! Come on, let's go, sit down, I'll sit at this position."

"Sir, you...?"

"What are you not? Brother Zhou asked me to come for him, why? He didn't tell you?" The young man rudely squeezed Cao Bin inside, and sat in the middle of the defendant. After sitting down, he took out a wrinkled piece of paper from his pocket and threw it on the table: "Is there a lawyer there? Look, this thing is the power of attorney written by Brother Zhou. I am his agent, where is the lawyer? Come and see, the procedures should be fine, right?"

Cao Bin and others looked at each other, not understanding what was going on for a moment, but the lawyer still took the paper very responsibly and looked at it. It was indeed Zhou Liwen's power of attorney, and the commission was written very clearly. Zhou Liwen asked Mr. Wei Hang as his agent, not only Zhou Liwen's signature, but also their law firm's seal and witness lawyer's signature, everything was in line with the legal effect.

"Hey! It's ten o'clock now, isn't you talking about mediation? Why? Not starting yet?" Before the lawyer finished reading the power of attorney, Saner, who had just sat down, urged impatiently. As he said, he even called Haqi and muttered, "What are you doing? The court is really good. I have to put in the morning to get a mediation, which made me almost late. I didn't enjoy it with the girls last night. I'm still sleepy now. Hurry up, hurry up, I'll go back early and continue..."
