Lu Qianxing-Liu Hanhuan-Wang Daan Law Firm is located in the West District of Liberty Building.
At this time, several uninvited guests came to the luxurious conference room with brown glass walls.
Shaquireno's sister Frieda and his wife, as well as the lawyer hired by her couple to represent her, attorney McCarthy from the West Side McCarthy Law Firm.
Sitting on this side were Lu Ming, Xia Fu, Shaquireno and his wife Catherine. In addition, Wang Daan sat on the edge.
In fact, Wang Daan was very timid, but Lawyer Lu suddenly asked him to be the representative lawyer to fight against others.
Wang Daan's head was buzzing.
Speaking of which, everything I have now was given by Lawyer Lu. It can be said that Lawyer Lu is my reborn parent. Most of the time, the term "reborn parent" is used as an exaggerated rhetoric. It can be used between Lawyer Lu and myself. Relationship-wise, that couldn't be more appropriate.
In the past, even in my dreams, I could never dream of the prospects I have now.
The largest law firm in Beiguan, it almost monopolizes all major litigation matters in Beiguan.
He is one of the three big bosses holding shares, named partners.
Moreover, there is no need to waste time trying to litigate with people. Every day, I do administrative work, drink tea, talk nonsense, and tease my little secretary. I can get thousands of dollars every month, and by the end of the year, there will be tens of thousands more. Yuan dividends.
On such a magical day, let alone dreaming at night, I would never even dare to think about it even if I dream about it during the day.
But what am I doing today, representing you as a lawyer?
Qianxing, you are making things difficult for me, my old brother.
But I can’t say no.
Sitting here, Wang Daan was in a state of confusion, as if his head had been filled with water, and he was buzzing every time he moved.
But when he calmed down a little and looked at the file, he gradually became a little surprised, and his eyes slowly widened.
McCarthy, the lawyer representing the other party, is in his forties, has a bit of bald hair in the front, rosacea and small eyes. He is talking eloquently, pointing out various reasons why old Renault's will may be declared invalid by the court.
Both Frieda and his wife looked very proud.
"Etc., etc……"
Wang Daan finally couldn't help it anymore, shook his hands, and looked at McCarthy in surprise: "Lawyer McCarthy, right? How much wine did you drink this morning? Are you still awake? Do you have the guts to fight this case? And, still With lawyer Lu Qianxing, with our law firm??? There’s nothing wrong with you, right? Let me tell you, I raise birds every day now, and I haven’t had a lawsuit in half a year, but I can win this case 100%, you Do you understand? Do you think our Lawyer Lu will deal with you? You are not worthy of his spitting!"
Lu Ming smiled: "I am taking care of Mr. McCarthy's business. After all, it is not easy to get a business. If he talks more and spends more time, he can make more money. Da'an, our business is not easy. Just take care of your colleagues and do good deeds, and so do you. When you can do good deeds, don’t be too stingy.”
McCarthy's face turned blue and white.
Lu Ming looked at Frieda and his wife and shook his head: "You must have found a lawyer over the phone. You don't have to think too hard. If a case as big as the Renault Group's property dispute is filed, will you get a lawyer over the phone?" ?Furthermore, you must have contacted big firms like Reed and Johnson-Smith-Stewart, right? Is anyone willing to answer the call? If they don’t answer the call, do you think the lawyer on the phone will make some amazing discovery to win this case? A lawsuit?" He sighed, too lazy to say more.
Frieda and his wife looked at each other. Indeed, they had consulted several of the largest law firms in the West District, and they all said that there was no need to fight, and no one was willing to take it.
Instead, I found the McCarthy lawyer through a phone call from a magazine advertisement. From what he said, he was quite reasonable.
Wang Daan said from the sidelines: "Mr. Renault's will was written in his own hand. It was authenticated by the notary center. When the will was made, lawyer Xia Fu was a witness, which proved that he was conscious at the time and had full capacity for civil conduct. Everyone present His son and daughter-in-law can also prove this. Looking at the affectionate instructions to his son and daughter in his will, anyone can imagine that this old father had such love, attachment and reluctance in his heart at that time. This will could be fake. ? What a confused judge you let in. He doesn’t dare to confuse right and wrong! I can win this case with my eyes closed!" After a pause, he said even more surprised: "Besides, you still came to see our lawyer Lu. "Trouble, are you crazy? Lu Qianxing, these three words, are you still a lawyer? You didn't..." It suddenly dawned on him, "Yes, you are just here to earn an appearance fee. If you can appear more times, you can make more money." "
When Frieda and his wife saw McCarthy's livid face, they knew he was right.
"Hey, if you don't call the lawyer on the left and the lawyer on the right, I can sue you for discrimination!" McCarthy looked angry and glared at Wang Daan.
The legal profession also has a chain of discrimination.
Nowadays, lawyers consider themselves to be very decent people. Even low-level lawyers, who can barely make a living by taking legal aid lawsuits without any lawsuits, are fine no matter what, but they will not advertise in newspapers.
Advertising in newspapers means that depending on your ability and connections, you cannot survive at all and can only deceive customers who have no understanding of this industry.
Lawyers who advertise in newspapers and leave their phone numbers are called "telephone lawyers." To the legal profession, this is almost a discriminatory term.
Therefore, McCarthy was extremely angry.
"Okay, you go and sue me!" Wang Daan said with disdain, "I just told you, you are a bluffing phone lawyer!"
I am now the third boss of the largest law firm in Beiguan. Who do you think you are?
Frieda and his wife looked livid, got up and walked out. If they stayed, they would feel that their intelligence had been severely humiliated.
McCarthy also hurriedly picked up the pile of documents on the table that were used to confuse the two clients, and ran out. These two still had to pay.
"I originally wanted to watch the show for a while!" Lu Ming shook his head.
Wang Daan chuckled, "Qian Xing, you are worth 1,000 yuan a minute, why are you here listening to his nonsense?"
Lu Ming smiled at Xia Fu: "Let's go to my office and have a chat."
I have a good impression of this guy, but he is a specialized solicitor who helps people with legal document certifications and the like. He does not appear in court and does not match the style of his law firm. Otherwise, it would be good to bring him in.
Wang Daan was in a good mood after teaching an unscrupulous lawyer a lesson. He was thinking, should I file a complaint against him later? This is considered a violation of the professional ethics of lawyers.
"Lawyer Wang Da'an, right?" A soft and magnetic voice came from the side.
Wang Da'an turned around and was stunned. The person who was talking to him was Mr. Reno's wife, Catherine, who was wearing a gorgeous black dress and a precious brown fur shawl around her shoulders. Her beautiful face made this nobleman luxurious. In her case, it seems that the exaggeration has gone away, and what remains is the precipitation of noble temperament.
"You, talk to me?" Wang Da'an stuttered immediately. Dealing with Western beauties has always been a chore.
Moreover, haven’t I heard that this Catherine is severely racist?
"Yes, Lawyer Wang Da'an, I have a legal question and I would like to consult you. Do you have time?"
Wang Da'an immediately smiled bitterly. He had pretended too much just now. It seemed that Miss Catherine really thought how capable he was.
"Madam, I don't think I can help you solve your legal problem. Lawyer Lu, you can ask Lawyer Lu. There is no lawsuit in the East China Sea that Lawyer Lu cannot solve!"
"He..." Catherine hesitated.
Wang Daan is helpless, how can a great movie queen like you, such a beautiful woman, be afraid to talk to Lawyer Lu?
It seems that in front of Lawyer Lu, everyone is equal, from me to you, they are all afraid of him.
Well, it seems that you are so polite to me because of Qian Xing, because I know Qian Xing!
"Madam, don't worry. Lawyer Lu may look fierce, but he is actually very soft-hearted and treats his own people well. Isn't Mr. Renault now Lawyer Lu's partner? Ask Lawyer Lu. It's no problem. He's 1,000 per minute. We won’t be charged a fee of RMB 10,000.”
1,000 yuan a minute? Catherine was stunned for a while. If he was used to fight the lawsuit for half a year and was charged based on time, the Renault Group would be gone.
Moreover, the husband said that he was his partner, but in fact, it seemed that he was now the guardian of his couple.
If you buy anything big, you have to submit it to him for approval.
…
Catherine knocked on the door and came in. Lu Ming was a little surprised. Xia Fu also smiled and shook hands with him to say goodbye.
"I, I have a question for you!" Catherine's pretty face looked somewhat unnatural.
"Well, tell me." Lu Ming made a gesture to sit down.
"I am now considered your sister-in-law. You don't need to pay for it, right?" Catherine didn't know why she said this.
Lu Ming was stunned and scratched his head, "Sit down, it's free!" He didn't waste any time explaining anything to her.
Seeing Lu Ming scratching his head, Catherine was slightly startled, and there was a meaningful smile in her beautiful eyes.
For the first time, I discovered that this demon is also a human being. He also has these little tricks that only innocent teenagers can do when he is embarrassed.
Now, this demon does have some resemblance to people of his age.
When Catherine sat on the sofa on the other side of the coffee table, she immediately felt more natural and her demeanor became much more elegant.
"Qianxing..."
Lu Ming immediately frowned, what's wrong with this woman?
Being arrogant at first and respectful at the end is too much! The first time we met, she called herself a pig. Now, she has such a close relationship with herself.
Catherine continued over there: "Qianxing, it's like this, I have a nephew who applied for St. Anton Middle School this year!"
Lu Ming nodded. It was originally an aristocratic middle school and only admitted boys. However, among the aristocratic schools in the East China Sea, he could not be ranked at all. After all, the Queen and the previous Dukes of the East China Sea left too many aristocratic schools with a long history and tradition. St. Anton can only be regarded as a pseudo-aristocratic middle school.
Therefore, St. Anton's Middle School changed its style fifty years ago and began to emphasize tolerance and equality. Moreover, it now has a high reputation because of its open and inclusive style of study and the birth of several well-known experts in the education field.
Na Cao Ying is also the honorary consultant of St. Anton Middle School.
After all, Cao Ying’s various concepts, including tolerance, equality, etc., are very close to the current philosophy of St. Anton Middle School.
"His admission scores, plus interview points, were originally enough to attend St. Anton's Middle School, but this year, St. Anton's Middle School has its first black slave..." He paused here and secretly glanced at Lu Ming's expression. “With the first black student, wasn’t it covered in newspapers and magazines?”
Lu Ming nodded, knowing this. In fact, the Nanyang people in the East China Sea were basically black slaves, and there were no black free people with citizenship.
The empire abolished slavery, but in some cities in the western states, many black slaves became free people, but they did not have the right to vote.
Moreover, the states and provinces in the west where black people were concentrated also implemented segregation policies, that is, "equal segregation", which was similar to that in the United States at the same time.
Not to mention housing, schools, etc., even in buses, trains, and various public areas, black people can only enter areas specially designed to accommodate them.
On the other hand, there are no dark-skinned citizens in Donghai, or it is extremely rare, so these segregation policies do not exist.
Of course, dark-skinned citizens do not dare to come to the East China Sea. The main reason is that there are still a large number of black slaves here. There are rumors that free black people in the East China Sea will disappear inexplicably, and then become black slaves imprisoned in some basement.
I don’t know if the top officials in Donghai simply don’t want to see black free people and even think that the apartheid policy is too weak. Therefore, these rumors are deliberately spread to make Donghai a fearful path for black free people.
It is conceivable that if more free black people really migrated to the East China Sea, Congress might pass a resolution to restore the black slave system.
But this summer, St. Anton Middle School did a big thing and admitted a black student to its school to reflect the word "inclusion" advocated in its school regulations.
Moreover, I heard that the black student had excellent academic performance and was admitted entirely based on his scores. He came from an orphanage in the imperial capital and was brought by a teacher from St. Anton Middle School.
This incident caused an uproar in the summer, but now it has fallen silent.
Nodding, Lu Ming said: "I know about this."
"My nephew failed the exam and ended up going to a rubbish middle school. He played with the gangsters all day long and became addicted to drugs."
"But I just found out recently that my nephew's admission points plus interview points are more than ten points higher than that of that black slave...than that black man!"
Lu Ming nodded: "St. Anton Middle School, this person was once promoted in the newspaper. What's his name?"
Catherine was immediately stunned. How could she have the patience to remember the names of these niggas?
Lu Ming understood after seeing her expression, "Then, let's use student A instead. St. Anton Middle School once advertised in the newspaper that student A was excellent in character and academics and was admitted based on a fair examination. , to dispel some of the public’s misunderstandings about Nanyang groups, the intention is actually good, but such false propaganda is indeed problematic, and your nephew has indeed suffered injustice.”
"That's right!" Catherine immediately became excited after hearing what Lu Ming said, "Furthermore, my family asked the staff of St. Anton Middle School, and what they said instead was that the black...that A student had thirty points of special bonus points. , because their ancestors have suffered a lot of injustice, so there will be special bonus points, and with these 30 bonus points, he has a higher score than my nephew."
Lu Ming suddenly made a gesture to stop talking.
Catherine bit her lip. How often had she been so angry? Even her father-in-law had never treated her like this before. As she spoke, she suddenly shut up.
But now, I can only endure it and keep my mouth shut.
Lu Ming picked up the phone and dialed a few keys, "Check for me what ideas Cao Ying proposed and what speeches he gave at St. Anton Middle School. Give me more detailed information!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming smiled at Catherine, "In this case, you go back and wait for the news." He was a little strange, "Actually, during the summer enrollment, if you come forward, I think St. Anton will recruit one more student and one less student. It’s not a big deal. It stands to reason that your nephew can be admitted to the same school, and it will not affect their influence in recruiting A students. You and your brother and sister-in-law’s family have never had any contact, but they have suddenly become closer recently. Why? "
Catherine was stunned, looking like she didn't want to say anything.
Lu Ming made a gesture, meaning you can leave. He was just curious to ask, so how could he have time to really listen to her family's gossip.
"She is my brother's new wife, and the child belongs to his ex-husband. In the summer, I didn't know this sister-in-law yet."
Lu Ming had already started looking through the files and didn't care at all what she said.
Catherine gritted her teeth, her eyes were like knives, but her voice was very gentle: "Qian Xing, that sister-in-law is gone!"
Probably, I can only relieve my anger by pretending to be this devil's "sister-in-law".
…
It was almost evening, and Lu Ming's desk was already filled with all kinds of information.
Lu Ming slowly looked through it, and finally, his eyes lit up, and he pulled out a newspaper.
The above is an article by Cao Ying, which fiercely criticized the apartheid system being implemented in other parts of the empire. He mentioned that Donghai, as the most liberal-minded, equal and inclusive society, should clearly say no to the apartheid system.
It is also mentioned that St. Anton Middle School recruits black students and gives extra points. This is the implementation of the concept of "inclusion" by him and Principal Anderson. It is the concept of fair education that he and Principal Anderson created together, which is for disadvantaged groups. The efforts made by students to obtain relatively fair educational resources are called the "Fair Access Plan". At St. Anton Middle School, this plan will expand the scope of enrollment next year, and will continue as the school's public policy. Go down.
Lu Ming read it from the beginning and picked up the phone, "Send the lawyer's letters as I told you, one from St. Anton Middle School and one from Cao Ying. For the amount of compensation, fill in five hundred thousand for St. Anton Middle School and five hundred thousand for Cao Ying. , fill in one hundred thousand."
