After coming out of Jixiangfang, Lu Ming went home for a walk. Pan Mila should be busy with the affairs of Huaxia Clothing Industry. Bisi had started school and was not at home in the middle of the day. She always ate lunch in the school cafeteria.
Hanzhu was not there either. Bizhu seemed to be practicing Taoism, sitting cross-legged on the moon-shaped bed. No one knew what she was doing.
Lu Ming had no choice but to ask Park Soo-na to take him to the Wenderbao Club. It just so happened that he had time now and should take a look at Gui Linghua's inheritance dispute case.
However, he didn't expect that his three disciples, Chen Qinghua, Tong Xiao'e and Tie Xiaojia, were waiting for him.
The waiter knew that the three of them were from his law firm, and that they were his apprentices, with whom he had a close relationship, so he led them to the 4th floor. Although they could not enter his room 408, there were many entertainment facilities open on the 4th floor, so they could naturally wander around. However, these three of them waited obediently on the long sofa in the corridor outside their rooms.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming looked at his three disciples, all of whom looked a little strange.
Park Soo-na opened the door, and Lu Ming led them into the house and asked casually.
"Sir, there was a mistake in a case and it's all my fault!" Chen Qinghua was the first to stand up.
Seeing that Tie Xiaojia and Tong Xiaoe were about to speak, Lu Ming waved his hand: "Don't fight over this kind of thing, it's boring. Tell me, what's going on?"
"Yes, sir, this is the file..." Chen Qinghua handed over a thin file in his hand. "Originally, I thought it was just a small matter. The person involved, Uncle Wang, was a rickshaw driver. He soiled the clothes of a lady on the rickshaw and was sued by the lady. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I made an appointment for Miss Zhao to meet with her attorney. Who knew that Uncle Wang had a hot temper and slapped the lady in the face when he got excited. The other party firmly refused to agree to a settlement. Now, he has to go to court. Miss Zhao is still in the hospital."
"Sir, I didn't think it through enough. I didn't expect Uncle Wang to have such a bad temper, so I was a little hasty when arranging the meeting."
Lu Ming nodded. Actually, the three of them had been very busy recently and had been cooperating well. All Chen Qinghua lacked was a lawyer's license. He could handle legal consultations and minor disputes that did not require going to court. Tong Xiao'e and Tie Xiaojia were also rapidly accumulating experience.
For these small projects, the three of them can work together and feel involved. They will be deeply impressed by all the details, which is much better than directing others to do this or that.
The firm has a lot of small cases like this now, and the three of them are busy day and night, so it is not uncommon for some small problems to arise.
"The other lawyer is from Tang-Li Law Firm? His name, Li Dagui?" Lu Ming frowned.
Over there, Tie Xiaojia chuckled, and when Lu Ming looked over, she quickly straightened her face.
“Yes, he is also a second-stage lawyer…” Chen Qinghua said, feeling that it was a bit strange to say that the other party was “also” a second-stage lawyer in front of his master.
The master is also a second-stage lawyer, but it feels like the master is not a second-stage lawyer at all. Now those who are qualified to compete with the master are almost at the barrister level. Look, he defeated a Western barrister again a few days ago
Moreover, it seemed that the judge's verdict also borrowed some new criteria in economic cases proposed by Master.
Lu Ming shook his head: "In fact, it's a small dispute. If you can avoid going to court, then resolutely don't go to court. The result of going to court is that your client will lose."
"Yes!" Chen Qinghua straightened his chest immediately. He had said this to his two senior sisters. The eldest sister seemed to have remembered it in her heart, but the second sister, this tomboyish woman, argued with him for a long time, saying that the law cannot be reconciled, lawyers are not there to smooth things over, and right and wrong should be made clear in court.
Chen Qinghua glanced at Tie Xiaojia, only to see her nodding repeatedly, as if she was taking note of it as if it were an imperial edict.
"Master, you are so right!"
Tie Xiaojia also gave a thumbs up and said, "Master, going to court for a small dispute is a waste of time and money, so it is not in the interests of our client, right?"
Chen Qinghua was helpless. This was clearly his own point of view when they were debating, but she said something like, 'People fight for their breath and Buddha accepts one stick of incense.' Some people just think that time and money are not as important as the breath in their hearts. Letting the client feel relieved is also in the best interests of us. Otherwise, if we often hold our breath in our lives, won't we live a few years less
This is in the greatest interest of the parties involved!
I was left speechless by her argument, but now, she is using her own words to flatter her master. You are too good!
Seeing the master nodding to Tie Xiaojia encouragingly, Tie Xiaojia immediately smiled sweetly as if wagging her tail, without any of her usual tomboyish look. Chen Qinghua turned his gaze away, it was really unbearable to watch.
"Xiao'e, what do you want to say? Say it!" Lu Ming looked at Tong Xiao'e.
Tong Xiao'e's face immediately turned red and she lowered her head.
Lu Ming was helpless.
Chen Qinghua said: "Master, the eldest sister said that she thought that Ms. Zhao and Uncle Wang who were beaten were not strangers. They should know each other!"
"Oh, why do you have such an idea?" Lu Ming asked with interest.
"Master Sister hasn't said anything yet, and you're already back!"
Lu Ming looked at Tong Xiao'e and said, "Tell me, don't be afraid."
Tong Xiao'e blushed so much that she wanted to crawl into the ground.
Lu Ming was helpless, "Xiao E, I think you should make a cardboard of me at home, so that after watching me for a long time, you won't be afraid of me anymore."
"Okay... Master..." Tong Xiao'e responded in a mosquito-like voice. It seemed that she was taking note of it seriously, as if she really wanted to go back and make a cardboard model.
As for her opinion on needing to pronounce more words, it was obvious that she still couldn't speak long sentences in front of herself.
Lu Ming was speechless for a moment.
"Qinghua, give this Li Dagui a call and have a chat with him tomorrow. Anyway, the three of you should figure out a solution. I don't really need to go to court for this matter, right?"
Chen Qinghua agreed, and Tie Xiaojia beside him rolled his eyes, "Master, let me make the call!"
"Whatever!" Lu Ming waved his hand.
Tie Xiaojia immediately took two quick steps to surpass Chen Qinghua and picked up the telephone receiver on the table in the corner.
After a while, the call seemed to be connected, and I tried to find Li Dagui, but it took a long time for the other party to answer the call. He probably had a lot of things to do.
"Lawyer Li, I'm Tie Xiaojia. My master is too busy and has no time to appear in court these days. As you know, Baoyin Bank is a big case and there are still many things to be sorted out. So, I need to talk to the judge tomorrow and hope to get a slight extension..."
Li Dagui seemed to be stunned for a long time, "Your master? In court? With me?..."
Due to the shock, the sound was a bit loud and everyone here could hear it.
"Yes, we are now helping Master handle these small cases. If we need to go to court, of course my Master will do it. We are not qualified to go to court independently. Don't you know that?"
Li Dagui on the other end seemed confused. After a long while, he said hurriedly, "Lawyer Tie, I think we still have room for reconciliation. I will go tonight, no, I will go talk to my client right now. Don't rush to talk to your master! I'm hanging up, I'll go right away!" With a click, the other end hung up the phone.
Tie Xiaojia turned around and stuck out her tongue at Lu Ming, "Master, don't be angry!"
Chen Qinghua frowned even more. This tomboy is simply a nine-tailed fox. In front of the master, she is pretending to be cute.
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing. Anyway, this was a good solution.
Being a lawyer means taking advantage of every favorable condition.
This Tie Xiaojia is quite quick-witted.
Chen Qinghua is more stable.
Tong Xiao'e should be considered a more careful person. For example, her new discovery, of course, may not be of any use.
Lawyers come into contact with so many people, and everyone has his or her own story, but lawyers are not problem solvers or spiritual mentors, and they do not have to listen to everyone's story or even help them handle it perfectly. As long as the result is in the interests of the client, the lawyer has completed his or her job.
These three disciples are all okay.
Lu Ming nodded in his heart.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiao Jia, Qinghua, you continue to follow up on this case. Xiao E will stay and be my assistant to help me with a new case."
Tong Xiao'e, the senior sister, needs special training. Besides, she is careful and gentle, so she should be able to get along well with Gui Linghua.
Tie Xiaojia looked at Tong Xiaoe and immediately showed envy.
Chen Qinghua didn't care and just did whatever his boss told him to do. But when he looked at Tie Xiaojia, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He was afraid that the days ahead would be very difficult for him. This guy would definitely take his anger out on him because he couldn't follow his master to handle cases.
But I can handle this case by myself. Can Second Senior Sister participate in your new case, boss
But I dare not say this casually. After all, it is not appropriate to give advice on something that I cannot make the decision on.
"Oh, let's put it this way. Qinghua, you should be able to handle that case yourself. Xiaojia, please help me with the new case first."
Lu Ming remembered that Qinghua had been with him for a long time, but his eldest disciple and second disciple came at the same time. If he only took one of them for the first case, it would seem like favoritism.
"Thank you, Master!" Tie Xiaojia cheered.
