Chapter 579: How Much Trouble Can You Cause?
Subsequently, the Shengshi Lanshan project of the Song Family was successfully launched, and after several years of decline, the Song Family rejuvenated once again.
The person Song Yansheng was meeting today was the factory director who, two years ago, suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized, losing everything upon his discharge.
Qu Yuzhou said, "His name is Wang Zhu, fifty-five years old. He founded the cotton mill at the age of thirty, developed it for twenty years, and only then did it begin to take shape. Unfortunately, he later had the misfortune of offending the Song Family and ended up with nothing but a ruined reputation..."
"About three days ago, this Wang Zhu came to me, hoping I could help him file a lawsuit against the Song Family. Currently, he holds some evidence of the three leaders of his former cotton factory being bribed by Song Zhongming, as well as evidence that his heart attack was caused by his female assistant swapping his heart medication when he wasn’t looking... He claims his female assistant was having an affair with Song Zhongming."
"Additionally, he says that during his hospitalization after the heart attack, there were delays and even aggravation of his condition in the hospital’s treatment process, but he has no evidence for this, and I cannot determine the truth of his claim."
"While the other evidence he provided is fragmented and some can’t even be considered reliable evidence, having them should at least create some trouble for Song Zhongming, even if it can’t deliver a fatal blow..."
...
When Song Yansheng entered the room, Wang Zhu was sitting nervously on the sofa, and he hadn’t touched the tea the secretary had brought him earlier.
Coming to see Song Yansheng, he felt quite uneasy.
He was suing the Song Family and Song Zhongming, and everyone knew that Song Zhongming was Song Yansheng’s cousin.
Moreover, the Song Family business was founded by Song Yansheng’s father.
Asking a cousin to help sue another cousin seemed quite incredible.
The door opened, and Chi Rui entered first, saying to Wang Zhu, "Our Mr. Song is here!"
Wang Zhu was startled and quickly stood up as Song Yansheng calmly walked in at that moment.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Wang Zhu was somewhat overwhelmed by his demeanor and presence.
He opened his mouth, but was too nervous to speak.
Chi Rui had the secretary replace the tea with two fresh cups, pouring the tea before leaving the room, leaving only Song Yansheng, Wang Zhu, and Chi Rui inside.
Song Yansheng sat upright on the sofa, not speaking, just lightly sipping the tea beside him with downcast eyes.
This unsettled Wang Zhu even more, unsure of what to say.
Chi Rui said, "Mr. Wang, our Mr. Song wants to know how determined you are to sue the Song Family and Song Zhongming?"
Wang Zhu was taken aback, licked his lips, and said, "Of course... of course, I am very determined!"
Chi Rui nodded, "But as far as we know, the three former senior managers of the cotton mill you reported have all left T City. No one knows where they are now, and there is no way to contact them, so I’m afraid those pieces of evidence won’t be very useful!"
Wang Zhu frowned and said, "I can’t find them now, but what they did is absolutely true. I did not lie, I can swear..."
"How does Mr. Wang explain the situation where the cotton mill was eventually found to be illegally and even producing substandard cotton?"
"Framed, it was absolutely a setup..." Wang Zhu became agitated, "That old fox Song Zhongming wanted my factory to fail, what wouldn’t he do? I’ve run a cotton mill for over twenty years. Though I might profit from small gains, I would never produce substandard cotton against my conscience..."
"Well, Mr. Wang, if we give you a chance, how far do you think you could push the matter against the Song Family and Song Zhongming?" Chi Rui continued to ask.
