Chapter 443: A hearing to talk about.

The mighty little peep star: [And so it begins, the trial which has caught the attention of so many in the empire. Phoenix media vs Du Moxi.

If you were not present in the courtroom today then you missed quite the show, starting with Du Moxi’s less than grand entrance, to her attorney’s claim that the trial be pushed to a later date because she had a headache due to her previous failed suicide attempt and the demand by the judge that Phoenix entertainment CEO be present to answer some questions at the next trial.

And if you think inside of the courtroom is where all the drama was then you missed an unexpected scene of one of Du Moxi’s fans hurling an egg at phoenix media CEO Chi Lian just before she could enter her car.]

The pictures of Du Moxi entering the court everyone had so there was nothing extraordinary about their revelation but the five second video of an egg being hurled at Chi Lian was specific to the peep star.

There had been no reporters in the parking lot to catch that scene as they had all gone running after Du Moxi’s car. Luckily for Chi Lian a bodyguard intervened and placed herself in front of the car.

The egg thrower was also taken down by two other guards and he was taken to the nearest police station. He would not be charged because the egg was not a dangerous weapon and it had not caused any physical body harm. But a statement had to be made just in case the egg thrower tried something more dangerous next time.

The comments on the peep star’s post were a mixture of jokes, questions and judgements.

Wang Mu Zi: [All I have seen all day online is trial this trial that, billion that. Peep star please give us real entertainment news instead of this nonsense.]

King Qi: [The way Du Moxi showed up late looking all beautiful you would think that she had the case the judge in her pocket.]

Princess meow: [Why was Du Moxi hiding her face though it’s not as if the entire empire does not know what she looks like.]

Ice cream queen: [That short video of an egg being thrown at Chi Lian should be turned into a gif.]

Baby Bu: [Hahaha, too late, the look of her face when she saw the egg coming has been made a meme.]

Lord Bai: [Why does Chi Lian look at the egg like a terminator, it’s as if she is going to take it out.]

Fire Lord: [The bodyguard jumping in front of the egg like a royal guard taking a bullet for an emperor hahaha.]

Village idiot of the century: [You are all still talking about Du Moxi but someone has already edited the egg throwing video and added the sound of a bullet being fired and the body guard screaming no in slow motion.]

Iron beats water: [I hope the next trial will be as interesting as the first one, wink wink.]

Icy sherry: [So if Du Moxi did not sign a legally binding contract with phoenix media then what is all this fuss for? End it already.]

I heart Prince Long: [The judge looked so cool in the few videos which were snuck out, so authoritative. I want to marry a judge in future, I am changing my major to law.]

It was midday and rather than go back to the office, Chi Lian returned home after the shenanigans of the first trial. Bear had advised her to do so as phoenix media put out a post condemning Du Moxi’s unruly fan for attempting to hit her with an egg.

"We have to make ourselves look humble and strong at the same time." she said.

The lawyers were discussing every possible ramification that could could be a result of the lack of a signed agreement between Du Moxi and phoenix media to perform at the phoenix tv spring gala and Chi Lian was on a video conference with them.

"CEO, her lawyer is going to present a signed contract with Pearl Tv , this is going to hurt our case." one of the lawyers said.

"A verbal agreement is still legally binding and she accepted the money which we paid her. If she had not taken the money I would be worried but she took it happily." Chi Lian banged on the table as she said this.

"Can we prove that the money was payment for the spring gala performance?" the head lawyer asked.

"Gu Xixi and Chi Rui were in the room when the money was transferred. You can simply call all of them as witnesses." she said it giving them a disappointed look. All of this was obvious, they did not even have to look hard.

"Look, if the signed contract is an issue then don’t worry about it because just as I recorded the meeting the day she was signed to phoenix entertainment I was also recording when she agreed to perform at the spring gala. If the witnesses will not be enough then add the video into evidence.

If that is also not enough then discreetly look for the people who participated in her signing the contract with Pearl Tv, humans are susceptible to the influence of money and other benefits. Find somebody with loose lips and let them tell you what happened, I can’t do all the ground work and then give you a salary at the end of the month."

She slammed the laptop shut with so much force that it shattered. The old madam managed to see this as she was passing by.

"What happened baby?" she asked .

Chi Lian looked left, the right and she looked at the old madam.

"Grandma, is it me that you are calling baby?" she asked in a curious voice.

The old madam walked to her, pulled her head gently to lean against her body and then she gently caressed Chi Lian’s hair. "Who else could I be talking to except for you? I have noticed that you are always trying to control everything from family to work because you think you are the only one that can do it all but that’s not how life works baby. You have to allow other people to take charge sometimes."

"It goes smoothly if I manage it." she replied. "They are panicking over one thing and the entire case will fall apart because they did not do the proper due diligence. The case has only just begun, I need them to get their heads on straight and think outside of the box. I have been reading up on Du Moxi’s attorney and he is as sneaky as a fox. He plays dirty to win grandma if I don’t control everything then they might make a mistake and we could lose the case."

"And they will learn from it if they lose. Next time, they will be better prepared. Don’t over stress, just look at yourself right now. You are sitting in a suit which has an egg stain."

Chi Lian looked at her little stain on her coat right on the chest area.

"I should change." she mumbled.

Even though things had not gone as victoriously as she expected they were also not so bad. The arguments made by her lawyer had been solid, it was just the contract which was creating an issue.

"Stupid contract." she mumbled.
