Tiancheng Law Firm.
As the most famous law firm in Jiangbei Province and one of the four red circle law firms in China, Tiancheng Law Firm has a very high status in Jiangbei.
Everyone in Jiangbei will find a way to hire a lawyer from Tiancheng Law Firm to defend themselves if they have the conditions.
Putting aside the objective odds of winning this lawsuit, whenever you see Tiancheng's logo on a lawyer's suit, the litigant feels as if the lawsuit is already half won.
When the other party's lawyer heard that his opponent was Tiancheng during the preparations for the trial, he basically lost half of his momentum even before the trial started, and he felt like he was timid before the fight.
Of course, for law graduates, the four red circle law firms are definitely the places they have dreamed of entering since they were in college.
Among the four major law firms, Tiancheng's salary is the best. It is said that just for an internship in Tiancheng, you can get a salary of at least 20,000 yuan a month, and Tiancheng claims to never work overtime, no matter how much it is. For urgent cases or important work, you will not get off work after 5:30. This is also the unshakable rule of Tiancheng since its establishment more than ten years ago.
As a local law firm in Jiangbei Province, Tiancheng is extremely benevolent to its hometown. Every year in its recruitment of graduates, students with Jiangbei hukou will be given priority, followed by law graduates from Jiangning University, and finally other universities.
This has also accumulated a good reputation for Tiancheng.
But the worst thing is that among the four red circle law firms, the other three are all recruiting talents, recruiting outstanding lawyers at home and abroad on a large scale, and constantly growing their teams.
But Tiancheng seems to have some hidden rules. It only recruits five interns every year, and only two can become full-time employees.
Compared with the large-scale recruitment of dozens and dozens of other law firms, Tiancheng seems to be unwilling to expand the scale of its own law firm, and the number of people has always been controlled within 30 people. There will not be any like the other three major law firms. Hundreds to thousands of people.
Even when the other three branches have opened in first-tier cities across the country, Tianchengdu still only stays in Jiangning City and does not open any branches.
The reason why it can keep pace with the other three major law firms with such a small scale is because Tiancheng has always only taken on large cases, inheritance disputes worth tens of billions, company mergers and acquisitions, corporate mergers and acquisitions and other expensive cases.
Moreover, most of these companies are well-known Fortune 500 companies or multinational consortiums in the business world. Most of the property disputes they involve are cases that can shock the entire domestic business community and will be used as teaching materials for students in the future. They explain.
Because Tiancheng has always refused to give in, he won several major cases and soon made Tiancheng's name resounding throughout the country. With a winning rate as high as 83%, he ranked first in the domestic law firm's winning rate. The throne has not been shaken for ten consecutive years.
Not to mention other law firms, even the other three red circle law firms lost more than they won when facing Tiancheng in court.
Because they are one of the four major law firms, losing to the other party is really not good-looking. Therefore, every time they take on such a big case, these three law firms will ask in advance who their opponents are. If they hear that If the other party is Tiancheng's lawyer, and he is not more than 70% sure about it, he will basically give up directly.
Everyone held the idea that as long as I didn't confront Tiancheng, no one would know about the rankings of the four major law firms.
Tiancheng's headquarters.
A young woman in a long skirt opened the door of the law firm, walked in cautiously on high heels, and stood in the lobby looking at the law firm.
Unlike other law firms that are located in tall office buildings, Tiancheng Law Firm spent a lot of money to buy a piece of land in the Second Ring Road of Jiangning. Generally speaking, this piece of land is not allowed to be sold, but considering that Tiancheng is Jiangning is a major taxpayer and a key enterprise in Jiangbei Province. It has made a lot of contributions to Jiangbei Province, so the government specially approved a piece of land of about 500 square meters for Tiancheng.
Tiancheng built a four-story small building on this land, hired the best decoration team in the country to do the construction, and then placed some modern paintings for decoration, and the construction of the headquarters was completed.
There are not so many bells and whistles. It adopts a simple style according to the boss's request. Thick frosted glass is used to replace the concrete walls from the inside to the outside. The floor is made of fine marble. The color is single and the style is simple. It can be regarded as Jiangning. It is a major feature of city architecture.
"Hello miss, who are you looking for?"
Seeing the woman standing in the lobby on the first floor looking around, the receptionist behind the front desk quickly stood up from her seat, walked to the woman's side and asked politely.
The woman was stunned and looked at the receptionist up and down.
"My name is Fang Yi. I am the front desk of the law firm. If you have any needs, you can tell me."
"I...I'll find Lawyer Qin Shoumo Qin." The woman hesitated for a moment and then whispered.
"Okay, do you have an appointment?" Fang Yi asked by the way.
The woman shook her head, "I haven't had time to make an appointment yet. I don't have Lawyer Qin's contact information. I only know that he is the lawyer here."
"That's right, then I understand." Fang Yi nodded and said tactfully: "That's right, young lady, since you came to see Lawyer Qin, you must have heard about Lawyer Qin's reputation and came here because of it.
Lawyer Qin's schedule is really full. No matter who wants to consult Lawyer Qin or file a lawsuit, they must make an appointment with Lawyer Qin at least two weeks in advance. Otherwise, Lawyer Qin will generally not have time without an appointment. "
"Two weeks in advance?" The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect such a request at all, and she stood there unprepared for a while.
"I have something very important to talk to Lawyer Qin about. It is related to the fate of me and my entire family. Could you please help me mention it to Lawyer Qin? I won't take up too much of his time. Half of it is One hour is enough.”
Good guy, half an hour is not much? You alone account for one-sixth of the three hours in one afternoon, and Lawyer Qin should be in the office right now...relaxing, right?
"I'm sorry, miss, this is not something I can decide. This is Lawyer Qin's long-standing rule.
Since Lawyer Qin started working in our law firm, even those big figures who appear on domestic financial news and political channels cannot break the rules when they come to Lawyer Qin because the entire domestic economy will be affected if they stomp their feet. "
Fang Yi's answer was tactful and firm. She had seen too many such customers, and every time she used this kind of rhetoric. Anyway, what she said was true. According to the character of lawyer Qin, even if the king of heaven came down to earth to invite him Before going to file a lawsuit, he had to first see if his time could be allocated.
There are so many customers like this woman who come up to ask Qin Shoumo for help in litigating cases. As a receptionist, I can receive twenty or thirty customers a day.
As the law firm with the highest winning rate in the country, the reason why Tiancheng's winning rate is over 80% is because Tiancheng has the only gold medal lawyer in the country with a 100% winning rate in his career, Qin Shoumo.
Qin Shoumo has not fought too many lawsuits, maybe only a hundred or so. Basically, in the lawyer industry, anyone who works for three to five years can receive more than a hundred cases, especially big law firms with many cases. of.
However, Qin Shoumo's more than 100 cases are different from those cases that are faked by other law firms. Among these more than 100 cases, the smallest amount involved is more than 10 billion, and the lightest sentences are all 20 years in prison. More than 20 years ago, they were all major economic and criminal cases, each of which was enough to shock the whole country.
And it is because all these cases that shocked the country were won, these three words Qin Shoumo have become a living legend in the entire legal profession.
There was even one time when the respected old lawyers in the legal profession were really unconvinced, and more than a dozen lawyers jointly took over a case, vowing to compete with Qin Shoumo.
As a result, during the period before the trial, these old lawyers had thoroughly read the legal provisions and could memorize the case information backwards. However, someone photographed Qin Shoumo in a famous bar in Shanghai with more than a dozen people. The young and beautiful woman spent a lot of money in one night, invited everyone in the bar to drink, and then took these women to charter a luxury cruise ship. They drove the ship all the way to the high seas and had a party for several days, until the day before the trial. One night, I returned to the hotel in Shanghai in a state of low spirits.
Originally, everyone thought that he might know that this opponent was too difficult to deal with, so he simply gave up and stopped struggling. After all, he had won so many times, and losing once would not have a big impact on him. What's more, he still lost to someone else in the country except him. All top lawyers.
But he didn't expect that when the court session opened the next day, Qin Shoumo went to the court with sleepy eyes. In just forty minutes, he silenced more than a dozen old lawyers and couldn't say a word. The last few The lawyer was heartbroken on the spot and gave up resistance.
This one-on-many case was against half of the domestic lawyers. Qin Shoumo, who easily won the case, was instantly pushed to the top of the pyramid in the legal profession, above ten thousand people.
Every year, the fresh graduates who want to enter Tiancheng, in addition to Tiancheng's high salary, also want to have the opportunity to study under this legend in the legal world, so that they can brag about who they are in the future. Qin Shoumo's apprentice, this name can be heard throughout the legal world.
The same goes for the clients who come to Tiancheng to seek lawyers for litigation. When they enter Tiancheng's door, their first choice is Qin Shoumo. They spend a lot of money to get Qin Shoumo to be their defense lawyer. After all, they have a 100% winning rate here.
Moreover, Qin Shoumo takes cases very casually. Like other lawyers, he will not evaluate the chances of winning the case in advance and whether there are any problems with his position. If he loses the case after taking it, he will Do you have any influence on yourself?
As we all know, Qin Shoumo never takes a case based on the odds. Even if the case he wants to take is a failure in the eyes of everyone, including the court, he will take it, and he will also hand over a copy to the judge in court. A convincing answer allows your client to survive a desperate situation.
He didn't want to take the case. Even if the case had a great impact and involved a high amount of money, the positive image it would bring to him after winning the case would be very helpful. He wouldn't care about these and just refused.
Later, because there were so many people coming to Qin Shoumo to file lawsuits every day, Qin Shoumo simply told the little girl at the front desk that no matter who came to him in the future, tell him to make an appointment now, and he would have the opportunity to meet him in two weeks. above.
After two weeks, if Qin Shoumo is still not in the mood or is not interested, he will find some other reason to postpone it for another two weeks.
As time went by, these people slowly gave up and had no choice but to find other lawyers. Qin Shoumo just continued to lie down happily.
Seeing Fang Yi's professional refusal, the woman opened her mouth, and after a long time she continued to ask: "Is Lawyer Qin in the law firm now?"
"Yes." Fang Yi nodded.
The woman looked at the time on her watch. It was 3:13 in the afternoon, which was more than two hours before Tiancheng's get off work time.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." The woman nodded politely, turned around and left the law firm.
But even though she had already gone out, when Fang Yi returned to the front desk, she still saw the woman through the one-way frosted glass sitting on the flower bed outside the law firm after hesitating for a while.
Fang Yi works as a receptionist in Tiancheng. She sees rich people worth tens of millions and hundreds of millions every day like they are counting cabbage. It can be seen at a glance that the pure white long skirt the woman is wearing is worth a lot of money.
The skirt does not have a logo and must have been handmade. Judging from the texture and walking style, this handmade dress is certainly not cheap. It must cost six figures no matter what.
Wearing such an expensive skirt, she hesitated for less than half a minute before sitting on the flower bed outside that had been stepped on by countless people. It seemed that the woman was indeed in an emergency and needed help.
However, every client who found Tiancheng had various urgent matters, and Fang Yi saw more. If they were not allowed to wait in the law firm, they could no longer be taken care of by the outside world, so Fang Yi simply pretended not to notice them at all. arrive.
Except for women, there were no other customers at the law firm in the afternoon. Once you stopped working, time passed quickly. Fang Yi felt that it would be time to get off work soon.
As usual, Qin Shoumo would slowly come downstairs and leave twenty minutes early.
The law firm's commuting hours are all for employees. For a lawyer of Qin Shoumo's status, the firm barely has a statue to accommodate him, let alone his commuting hours.
Even if he lies at home and doesn't come, the firm won't have any objections. After all, he is now Tiancheng's golden signature. As long as Qin Shoumo is in Tiancheng, Tiancheng will be able to sit firmly in the top four red circle law firms. throne.
After all, the legal industry is currently one of the industries facing serious internal infighting. In addition to the four major red circle law firms, there are four or five alternative law firms that are eyeing this position eagerly.
Their power over the years cannot be underestimated. If they are not careful, they may become as famous as one of the four red circle law firms.
Therefore, the four major law firms are trying their best to enhance the status and prestige of their own firms, and constantly maintain their status through influential cases.
In such a fiercely competitive background, as long as Qin Shoumo is still sitting in Tiancheng's office, Tiancheng will never be able to step down from the position of one of the four red circle law firms. After all, this is the only living legend in the entire country.
"Lawyer Qin, you left early again." Fang Yi joked.
"What are you talking about? I'm not the one who leaves early. I'm just going out to talk about work." Qin Shoumo looked upright, "It's almost time to get off work, and I have to go out to meet customers. I'm so fucked for the company's business." I’m heartbroken. I work overtime for free almost every day, but you still wrongfully accuse me of leaving early.”
Fang Yi pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, it turned out that you were going to meet a client. I wrongly blamed you. I thought you were going to ME to have a pleasant night later."
"What ME? I won't go to that kind of place. As lawyers, we must have a sense of justice and keep ourselves clean. We can't go to bars or anything like that, otherwise it's easy to get into some bad habits." Qin Shoumo said seriously: "Xiao Fang Ah, forget it at my age, you are still young, so you must not go down the wrong path."
"Okay, okay, I understand Lawyer Qin."
Fang Yi rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe any of Qin Shoumo's lies.
Everyone in Jiangning City doesn't know that the chance of meeting Qin Shoumo at Tiancheng Law Firm and Qin Shoumo's home is ridiculously low, but if you are in ME, you can bump into Qin Shoumo eight out of ten times.
"By the way, Lawyer Qin, there is a woman outside who came to the law firm to see you at around three o'clock in the afternoon. I told her to make an appointment two weeks in advance and sent her away, but she has been sitting on the roadside since she left. I'm waiting in the flower bed, I guess I'll be watching over you." Fang Yi pointed at the woman outside.
"Are you kidding? I can get it done just by squatting?" Qin Shoumo turned his back to Fang Yi and waved, "Let's go. If you have nothing to do, get off work early."
"Hello, Lawyer Qin, we are finally waiting for you."
After walking out of the door of the law firm, the woman who had been sitting by the flower bed for two hours quickly stood up and trotted to Qin Shoumo, extending her right hand towards Qin Shoumo.
Out of courtesy as a lawyer, Qin Shoumo still stretched out his hand to shake her hand.
"Hello, the front desk of our law firm must have told you just now. My schedule is very full. If you have a case with me, you can go to the front desk to make an appointment now. I may be free in two weeks."
"That Miss Fang did say that, but Lawyer Qin, I really have something very important to see you for, and human life is at stake. This is related to the fate of our family." The woman looked at her with hopeful eyes. Qin Shoumo.
"Understandable." Qin Shoumo nodded, "But miss, this is a law firm, and I am indeed a somewhat famous lawyer. Almost everyone who comes to me for a lawsuit has a life-threatening matter. You're not the only one either."
Hearing Qin Shoumo's answer, the light in the woman's eyes dimmed instantly, and she whispered: "I know, I understand Lawyer Qin, but I am really desperate, I can only come to you, I don't even know how to find these things." Who can talk to me, can you give me half an hour, no, twenty minutes is enough, let me say these things."
"My time is very valuable." Qin Shoumo said expressionlessly.
The woman nodded quickly and said: "I understand, Lawyer Qin, as long as you can help me, I am willing to pay you a high reward, and I will not let you down."
Qin Shoumo stretched out his finger and shook it twice, "It's not about money. Every case I take on will be worth billions or tens of billions. Whether it's money or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore.
For me now, time is precious because it makes me feel happy. If I feel happy, I will be healthy. If I am healthy, I will live forever. Can you understand? "
The woman was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Qin Shoumo's answer to be like this.
If the person saying these words to her is another person, a woman will even wonder if there is something wrong with this person's mind.
As for Qin Shoumo's words, the woman could only explain to herself that it was because the brain circuit of such a top lawyer was different from that of ordinary people, so the way he spoke was not understandable by ordinary people like herself.
"Lawyer Qin, how else can I buy twenty minutes of your time?" the woman asked carefully.
"Have you ever seen anyone selling the elixir of life?" Qin Shoumo asked seriously.
"......No."
"Then it's over. It's about whether I can live forever for twenty minutes. How can I sell it?"
After Qin Shoumo finished speaking, he was no longer prepared to talk to the woman. He bypassed the woman and walked straight to his Maybach parked on the side of the road.
Tiancheng actually has an underground parking lot, but Qin Shoumo's Maybach, a global limited edition of 22 models, still has a license plate with a number of 5 and 8. Qin Shoumo thinks it is too low-key to park it underground, so it has to be parked on the road. Let people take a look.
Although parking is not allowed on this road, Qin Shoumo doesn't care about the fine they impose each time, which is only 200 yuan a day.
As for the tow truck, the traffic police currently don't have the guts to tow away the car of the famous Lawyer Qin. After all, Lawyer Qin's network of connections is quite strong and blatant.
"Lawyer Qin, I really, beg you."
Seeing Qin Shoumo's back getting further and further away, the woman gritted her teeth and knelt down directly facing Qin Shoumo's back, ignoring her snow-white dress.
As if sensing something was wrong, Qin Shoumo turned his head and trotted back quickly when he saw the woman kneeling down.
"No, sisters, what are you doing? If we have anything to say, please don't kneel here. There are so many people coming and going on the street. After a while, everyone came over to watch. Those who don't know are still here. I thought it was an emotional dispute in some bloody idol drama."
As Qin Shoumo said this, he stretched out his hand to pull the woman up, but the woman had no intention of getting up and kept kneeling in silence.
Seeing that some pedestrians around him were starting to look at him, Qin Shoumo, no matter how thick-skinned he was, couldn't stand being watched on a crowded street, so he could only sigh and said, "Okay, okay, you Don’t you want a chance? Get up and go to a place with me. I’ll give you the chance to buy my time.”
Hearing Qin Shoumo's words, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with Qin Shoumo's help, and rubbed her knees.
"I've only been kneeling for a minute and I can't bear it anymore. I'm really spoiled." Qin Shoumo said casually.
The woman blushed, "There was really very little that needed to be done before."
"It's okay, it's not important. Girls from rich families are all like this. I've seen them a lot."
Although the woman just now did make Qin Shoumo a little flustered, he still opened the car door for the woman in an extremely gentlemanly manner. When the woman carefully sat in the passenger seat, Qin Shoumo closed the car door and got in the car and drove towards the city. .
"By the way, Lawyer Qin, where are we going?" the woman asked curiously.
"Aren't you going to buy my time? You'll know when you get there." Qin Shoumo said softly, "But it depends on your performance."
"Performance?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on her face. Could it be that he meant...
Feeling the change in the woman's mood, Qin Shoumo said helplessly, "Don't think about any nonsense. I have no shortage of women and I have no interest in you."
The woman blushed and shrank her head back, not embarrassed to continue talking.
