Chapter 1128: Explanation
So this is the scene now, everything has been explained, and they know that continuing with this lawsuit will only lead to defeat.
So they want to try another method, playing the emotional card and having Jane take the lead, in order to salvage some losses.
Now that Jane has expressed her attitude, they are somewhat satisfied, but they still want to do more.
“We know we were deceived, but we trusted you. Even though you weren’t directly involved, you have a social responsibility. For the sake of your company’s reputation, you must resolve this issue.”
Jane frowned upon hearing this. She had never made any promises.
“If any of you had come to my company to inquire during this time, you could have found out the truth. But none of you did. Now, it’s too late to fix any major problems.”
“The current market environment is not good, and there are also some issues with company operations. This applies to all companies. So, we can only do our best, and we don’t have anything to compensate.”
Since Jane had been out these past few days and had been able to make phone calls, she knew what was going on.
What exactly is the entertainment industry’s new direction? Patrick seemed busy these days and was probably dealing with this matter.
After all, many plans had changed, and when Jane had called Patrick once, she received the same answer. So, Jane didn’t worry about it.
But now, the people who had suffered losses and asked for this answer were actually hoping for Jane’s company to offer some compensation, which was impossible.
Jane had to firmly refuse. The company had suffered a loss of reputation and hadn’t received any compensation.
“When we help you, we are actually helping ourselves. We can’t cut a piece of our flesh to give to you.”
“We hope you understand our difficulties, and you must also keep your eyes open.”
The representative sighed upon hearing Jane’s words. He knew that this was how things had to be.
But he didn’t know if he would be able to explain it to others when he went back. After all, they only represented a portion of the people’s interests and were only supervising Jane.
They couldn’t make decisions for everyone, so after parting ways with Jane, they sat down with the other victims.
They all discussed the situation together, and the two of them summarized the past few days. Of course, they communicated with other victims every day to keep them informed of any progress. After discussing all this, they told the victims of Jane’s current attitude.
“What do you all want to do? We will follow your opinions, as we are also victims and need to stand together.”
As soon as the representative finished speaking, someone asked a question.
“By your current logic, our losses are already certain, so we can only hope to salvage what we can. And even if we sue, we will definitely lose, right?”
The representative nodded as the person continued to ask.
“Do we still have to pay for legal fees and other expenses if we sue? So, I think we need to consider whether we should sue at all.”
Everyone nodded. Each person had their own thoughts. Some wanted to take a chance no matter what.
They couldn’t let all their money go to waste, so they wanted to sue. But some felt they didn’t want to waste any more money. Although the amount wasn’t large, for people who had already suffered losses, they didn’t want to throw more into a bottomless pit.
After voting, some abstained, and others chose to give up. In the end, everyone decided not to jointly sue Jane anymore.
If anyone felt unjust, they could sue independently, which would lower legal fees, and even if they lost, the loss wouldn’t be significant.
A few days later, a few people directly challenged Jane in court, stating their reasons and presenting evidence. Jane’s evidence was very strong, but could there be any deviation at this stage?
After all evidence was presented, the final verdict was given, and the court ruled in Jane’s favor.
But there were still two more similar lawsuits that Jane would have to face. Following the assistant’s advice, they only needed to have a representative take care of the remaining matters.
After all, the first lawsuit was the most important, and with such comprehensive evidence, there couldn’t be any deviation. Jane agreed.
Patrick had been very busy at the company these days, and he looked worried because they had discovered some internal issues during the self-examination stage.
Some artists had been directly suspended by Patrick.
Now, Patrick was very concerned about this matter because it wasn’t just about the artists. He found his assistant and said, “Each of our artists has their own assistant. If the assistant is individually hired, then I have nothing to say. But don’t forget, our company also provides assistants for the artists.”
“These people hold our rice bowl, yet collude with others. Otherwise, how could such a problem occur? I think our internal affairs need to be sorted out.”
The assistant agreed, thinking this was a big issue, but he also expressed his concerns. He believed that doing this now might cause the company to suffer losses if some people were wearing the same pants. But Patrick knew that at this point in time, he couldn’t hesitate.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
So, he wanted to deal with a few people first. He wanted to see how things would turn out. He asked his assistant to go ahead and do it.
When Patrick returned home, he didn’t bring up this matter. It wasn’t until he asked about the lawsuit that Jane told him everything.
“Everything has been resolved, and the rest can be left to the representatives. I don’t have much to do these days, so I’m preparing to go to the company and help out.”
