No matter where you are, you will be asking for help, and you will be knowledgeable. It is very common to invite people to have dinner. Most of the time, when you invite people to talk about things, you often have three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. When the atmosphere is in place, you will only speak up until the atmosphere is in place. But today Zhou Ting is straightforward, which is somewhat rude. However, this is the pride of the eldest son of the Zhou family and the insight of Zhou's young master in human nature. He could see that Zhang Wei did not like that kind of twists and turns. If he didn't explain the matter first, he was afraid that Zhang Wei would not have the heart to eat the next meal and would just speculate.

Zhang Wei did not feel that it was wrong to Zhou Ting's straightforwardness. He had no friendship at all. He would have said some things first, so he saved each other from being able to stretch them out and felt uncomfortable, so he agreed, "Mayor Zhou, please tell me."

"There are no outsiders here, so I will just say anything. Today, there are two reasons. First, I want to apologize to Mr. Zhang, and secondly, I want Mr. Zhang to help. The apology is because my younger brother is really narrow-minded. He had some conflicts with Mr. Zhang at the front end, but after Hu Changping and Brother Hu came forward to talk to him, the matter has been over. But what I didn't expect was that he was bewitched by a foreigner a few days ago and made some small moves behind his back. This behavior is disgusting and annoyed me. So when I invite Mr. Zhang to come today, I first want to apologize, hoping that Mr. Zhang can forgive him." Zhou Ting said at the end of his tone, and even tapped the table with his fingers, which shows that he was restraining his anger. Then he looked at Zhou Zhen and said, "Zhou Zhen, Mr. Zhang is here now, see how to apologize."

Zhou Zhen lowered his head, and the masseter muscles on his face bulged from time to time. He looked at his brother with his own light, and glanced at the person in the room, his mouth was a little unopened.

When Zhang Wei heard Zhou Ting's words, a possibility emerged in his mind immediately and asked, "Mayor Zhou, the little move you mentioned would not have anything to do with Li Jiayao, right?"

Zhou Ting's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slowly at Zhang Wei, saying, "Mr. Zhang, in fact, this matter was coaxed by a British Chinese named James. My brother was used as a gun. I have sacked a lot of effort to dig out this British Chinese in the past few days. However, when they saw that the momentum was wrong, they had disappeared. Zhou Ting would not lie to you at this point, please believe it. It is precisely because of this that I specially invited you here today to tell you about this matter so as to save misunderstandings between each other."

Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Mayor Zhou, I believe what you said, but this incident caused me a lot of trouble."

"I know, so when I learned about this, I immediately spent a lot of money to calm the bad impact of this incident on you. Now, except for Li Jiayao, the key figure, I have asked someone to smooth out all the rumors on the Internet, in order to show you that Zhou Zhen was used in this matter. If our brothers really want to destroy you, I can say responsibly and will never use such despicable means." Although it was the party at fault, Zhou Ting still said this with confidence.

"Mayor Zhou means that you have found someone to take down those seven 'Internet Water Army Commanders' and that big self-media V?" Zhang Wei was a little unbelievable. He was not suspicious of the Zhou family that did not have such energy, but felt that the Zhou family could not cause such a big disturbance in order to make him ignore what Zhou Zhen did. The police forces in the five provinces acted together, and how much cost would it cost to coordinate to achieve it.

Zhou Ting looked at Zhang Wei a little

He replied with no vague affirmation: "Yes, my father and I have found a lot of people for this and owe a lot of favors."

"Oh?" Zhang Wei whispered his doubts. He believed that when dealing with a smart person like Zhou Ting, Zhou Ting should understand what he was asking.

Sure enough, Zhou Ting said: "Of course, if it is just to make Mr. Zhang not care about my brother being used, we don't have to go through a lot of trouble. This involves the second thing today. I want to ask Mr. Zhang to help me."

Only then did Zhang Wei just look at Zhou Ting quietly, waiting for his next sentence.

"Tomorrow, Director Li Nan and Li, deputy director of the Central Old Cadre Affairs Bureau, may contact you. At that time, he should ask you to do something. Whether you do or not has anything to do with me, you should weigh it yourself. What I need your help is that if Director Zhou or someone asks about Zhou Zhen, please express your unwillingness to pursue it." Zhou Ting said a request that Zhang Wei did not understand at all.

Zhang Wei said: "Don't worry, I didn't understand what you mean, what does Director Li ask me for?"

"I'm going to say that I know a little about this, but I can't tell you, but from an objective perspective, it should be a good thing for you, and I can't say too much." Zhou Ting did not answer Zhang Wei, but just emphasized again: "What I hope is that if Director Li or someone else asks about your conflict with Zhou Zhen, you can express that the misunderstanding between you has been resolved. Apart from that, I have no other requirements."

"Mayor Zhou, your request is a bit confusing to me. If I don't know what's going on, how can I agree to your request?"

Zhou Ting was about to speak, and the door of the box was knocked, the waiter started serving the dishes, and the topic was paused. It was not until the waiter left that Zhou Ting said again: "Simply put, Director Li should also want to bother you about what to do. For this reason, he will try his best to meet your requirements. I don't want the conflict between Zhou Zhen and you to become a means for Director Li or someone to curry favor with you."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ting made a gesture to He Min on the side. He Min took out a folder from a briefcase and stood up and handed it to Zhou Ting. Zhou Ting took the folder and turned his hand to put it on the table in front of Zhang Wei, and continued: "There is a cash check of 10 million yuan in this folder, which is considered to be a compensation for damage to your reputation. There is also a clothing advertising endorsement contract. The clothing company is a company my brother owns. It focuses on casual wear for young people, and it is also in line with the advertising endorsement positioning of celebrities of your age. The contract is for three years, 10 million yuan a year, and it is paid in one go. The advertisement will be broadcast at the same time on the national TV station, Magic City TV, Mango TV and other TV stations, which will also have certain benefits for enhancing your popularity. These are all compensations for you.

I know you may not be able to appreciate these things, but this is our greatest sincerity. If you are unwilling to accept them, then let Lawyer Zhang and President Wang come to answer them for you. If you hold Zhou Zhen accountable and under the strictest punishment of national laws and regulations, what will you get?"

After Zhou Ting finished speaking, he made an invitation to Lawyer Zhang next to him.

Zhang Guohao nodded to Zhou Ting, and then said to Zhang Wei: "Mr. Zhang, first of all, I will make a point to you. My following remarks will start from an objective and professional perspective, and will not be mixed with any personal feelings. As for credibility,

Please judge for yourself. If you resort to the law, the only thing you can prosecute him is that Mr. Zhou Zhen has corrupted your "right to reputation". In our country, there is no special charge of "slandering others" and "damaging others' reputation", you can only prosecute him for "slandering others".

The crime of defamation is legally interpreted as "deliberately fabricating and disseminating fictional facts is enough to defame others' personality and destroy others' reputations, and serious circumstances." Then, according to Article 246 of the Criminal Law of my country, "If the perpetrator fabricates facts and slanders others, the case should be filed." Please note that this must be achieved "serious circumstances" before the case can be filed. According to the current situation I have, Mr. Zhou Zhen's "destruction of reputation" to you has become an established fact, but whether the circumstances are serious depends on what losses it has caused to you. Please be sure to measure whether these "slanderous content" continue to cause you "reputation", "personality" and "dignity".

Next, we assume that Mr. Zhou Zhen’s crime of defamation is established and a case will be investigated. According to Chinese laws, the crime of defamation is generally sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, detention, control or deprivation of political rights. Considering that Mr. Zhou Zhen tried his best to make up for the adverse effects of this matter on you after the incident occurred at this time, coupled with his social relations, family background and public relations ability, from my professional perspective, the possibility of sentence is very slim.

So I suggest you settle out of court with him, because even if he is sentenced, according to the substantial infringement caused to you, he has a high probability of being retarded or even being sentenced to fines. This is my professional advice."

As soon as Zhang Guohao finished speaking, Wang Xuecheng, the deputy director of a court in the second court, couldn't wait to speak, "Mr. Zhang, Zhou Ting and I are good friends, and Zhou Zhen is like my younger brother, but my next words can be guaranteed to be objective enough. Lawyer Zhang has made it clear enough, so I will tell you the process. The crime of defamation is a private prosecution case. You have to submit a criminal private complaint to the local court, a copy of the ID card of both parties or a certificate of household registration, and relevant evidence materials. The court will review the materials you submitted within the specified time limit. I will briefly explain these materials to you. The first item is the detailed personal information of your private prosecutor and the defendant; the second item is the time, place, means, circumstances and harmful consequences of the defendant's criminal act, etc.; the third item is the name and specific time of the people's court sent to him; the fifth item is the name and source of the witness's personal information and evidence.

We don’t talk about the other four items. I can assure you that you can’t explain clearly the second item, so I don’t need to tell me the reason. If Zhou Ting didn’t tell you today that this was done by Zhou Zhen, I’m afraid you don’t know what’s going on until now, let alone how Zhou Zhen implemented it, right?

Okay, let’s talk about the compensation principle of “defamation”. There are five articles in total, which are supplementary, fair application, appropriate restrictions, negligence offset and judge’s discretion. Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about two articles. The ‘negligence offset’ principle is literal. If the defendant strives to recover the “reputation” and “loss” of the private prosecutor, this can offset part of the negligence. Needless to say, ‘judge discretion’, the judge will definitely not be sentenced to heavy judgment according to these things happening between you. This is the same as everyone you ask.

Not to mention that you are asking you to add materials on purpose, you will not do anything after these processes just after the past six months.

OK, I have said everything I should say, you can weigh the trade-offs for yourself."
