Chapter 371: Why is Lawyer Wang so happy!
For Qian Decheng, this was a very normal day.
Going to work, receiving clients, then seeing if there were any cases he could take; he was just a very ordinary Lawyer.
As it turned out, just after sending off a client, his phone rang; he picked it up and saw it was a call from Qiao Ruoyun.
"Hello, sister-in-law, what's wrong? Don't cry, tell me slowly!"
He was very polite; after all, he had earned quite a bit of money through them before, not just because it was basically no effort, but also because he had taken this matter on privately.
Lawyers must take cases through a law firm or other legal institutions; private individuals are not allowed to accept commissions!
Signing a contract is also done with the law firm, and then the law firm will assign a Lawyer to handle the lawsuit for you.
But for old Qian, this was actually just taking a job on the side; as long as he wasn't discovered, it was basically fine, and many of them did this.
Under circumstances where they knew each other well, nothing would go wrong.
It was just that as he listened, something felt off. Qian Decheng said with a bewildered look: "In again? How did this happen? The other party filed a Criminal Private Prosecution? Didn't I tell you guys to have a good relationship with them after that case ended?"
It was obvious that this relative hadn't listened to him at all.
The main thing was that he hadn't expected the other party to actually file a Criminal Private Prosecution. Honestly, in all his time as a Lawyer, he hadn't seen many Criminal Private Prosecution Cases.
It was only this year that the Guangming District Court seemed to have a sudden surge of them.
"Alright sister-in-law, don't worry. How about you come to our law firm? If he wants you to handle that case, we have to sign a contract."
For a Criminal Private Prosecution Case, it's fine if one is detained, but once detained, it's difficult to see the other party; without the corresponding materials from a law firm, it is impossible to see the person.
And to get the materials, one must go through formal procedures.
Qian Decheng on the other end said somewhat unwillingly: "Given our relative relationship, do we really have to go to their law firm?"
Wu Guniang sighed and said: "It's true, sister-in-law, I'm not lying to you, you must come to the law firm."
Although she was very unwilling in her heart, Wu Guniang still came to the law firm to sign the contract. In short, she had to make Qian Decheng find every possible way to ensure her husband didn't go to jail.
That Lawyer had already boasted about having connections everywhere, so Wu Guniang had no way to disagree.
Fortunately, she could go through the procedures to see Han Xiaocheng; when the time came, she would find a way to reach a Mediation and have the other party withdraw the suit, and then the matter would basically be resolved.
On the other side, having returned to the Company, Qiao Ruoyun resumed the life of a legal department staff member. The court hearing required waiting for a date, and the other party would definitely seek Mediation with his side, so he still had to deal with that.
Having nothing to do, he chatted with Huo Pengfei about what he had encountered earlier.
But as they talked, he noticed that Lawyer Wang in front of him was becoming increasingly excited, as if he had heard something that made him very happy.
"Old Wang, what's wrong?" Qiao Ruoyun asked with some curiosity.
"Old Huo, have you reported that Wu Guniang yet?" Huo Pengfei suddenly asked.
"Not yet, I've been busy reading Fang Xiaozhuang's articles lately and haven't gotten around to it. Why, is something up?"
Huo Pengfei laughed upon hearing this: "Old Huo, say no more. Give me the evidence on that Wu Guniang, and I'll go report her, okay?"
Qiao Ruoyun hadn't quite reacted yet; he hadn't thought about whether to refuse or agree.
Huo Pengfei hurriedly said: "I'll treat you to a big meal, and you can call little Dao Ren."
"By the way, I used to work at a matchmaking website."
"The materials are right there, take them quickly."
Watching Huo Pengfei leave with the materials, Qiao Ruoyun was even more speechless. This Lawyer Wang must have something wrong with his brain; he was a bit too happy.
On the other side, Huo Pengfei, holding the materials, was just about to head out when he bumped into Zhou Yi, who had just arrived at the Company.
"Old Wang, why are you so happy? Are you getting married?" Zhou Yi looked at Huo Pengfei, who was grinning from ear to ear, and asked with curiosity.
"General Manager Zhou, someone is going to a training class for further studies and is about to face a Suspension of Practice, haha!"
Poor Zhou Mouren racked his brains but couldn't figure out why Huo Pengfei would be so happy that someone was facing a Suspension of Practice.
Could it be that this guy had been punished so much that he now had PTSD?
Everything in the Company was very smooth. The little koi was indeed as expected; she sent two people in upon resigning, and another one in after moving out. This speed of causing trouble was much faster than his, Zhou Mouren's.
Therefore, after Qiao Ruoyun brought back the news, the Company's team had already started preparing to make a video.
Zhou Yi wanted to make it clear to everyone through this video that even if it is your own house, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want whenever you want. Once it's rented out, you cannot just enter!
You say you want to bring people to view the property, but if the contract doesn't have a specific agreement, then theoretically, the tenant can refuse you.
Because during the term of the contract, the right of use belongs to them, and they have no obligation to cooperate with you for property viewings.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, Zhou Yi looked at the city outside. All kinds of joys and sorrows were played out here every day; his personal power was too insignificant compared to the whole world.
But as long as he could influence some people, that would be enough.
The post-00s generation started rectifying the workplace, and before anything else, all sorts of complaints had already appeared: that young people nowadays are increasingly inconsiderate of others, that they leave work right on time, that they lack emotional intelligence.
Rather than saying they lack emotional intelligence, it's better to say that young people nowadays are very repulsed by those inexplicable unspoken rules.
Zhou Yi expressed his emotions and made an appointment to meet Fang Xiaozhuang at the Lao Difang today.
Everything was very stable, so stable that it was as if nothing had happened. Wu Guniang followed the procedure to sign the contract and meet.
"Brother Qian, really, I'm really counting on you this time. I truly had no malicious intent; I just wanted to let the other party know that this is my house. I didn't think about any illegal trespassing!"
Han Xiaocheng was wailing incessantly. That place was truly not a place for humans to stay. Last time he was granted Bail Pending Trial, this time Wu Guniang wanted to continue the bail, but it was difficult to handle.
He could only say: "Han Ge, don't say anything else. Just wait with peace of mind. As long as the other party withdraws the suit, it'll be fine. As for the money..."
"Brother Qian, as long as it can be resolved, I'm willing to spend however much money it takes!"
Wu Guniang left, and Han Xiaocheng felt slightly relieved; this relative of his was still quite reliable.
Old Qian was indeed a serious Lawyer; since the contract was signed, he had to do what needed to be done.
He contacted little Dao Ren by phone, wanting to mediate and have the other party withdraw the suit, but unfortunately, although little Dao Ren was timid, he had grown quite fast under the influence of Lawyer Huo and refused directly!
There was no other way; Wu Guniang could only find a way to get little Dao Ren's work address and found out why the other party had filed a Criminal Private Prosecution. It turned out that behind this was the support of Tengda Company!
"Tengda Company is actually doing this now? Legal aid?"
It was normal for a Company to have a legal department, but there had never been a situation like this before, where an Employee's legal issues were handled by the Company's legal department.
The key is, is it worth it for you to do this?
No wonder the other party would file a Lawsuit without hesitation; it looked very normal, but if the Company was supporting them and there was a professional Legal Department behind them, then it could be understood.
It's just that understanding is one thing, but one still has to go to Tengda to find the other party; of course, Qian Decheng has to go along too.
"Sister-in-law, you remember everything I told you, right? You must be sincere, you know? Han Ge is currently in their hands, and if they don't withdraw the Lawsuit, then Han Ge has a very high chance of going to jail!"
Qian Decheng nodded, indicating that he could distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.
Wu Guniang sighed; if there were even the slightest possibility, she wouldn't want to bring her along, but there was no other way. If an apology is to be sincere, it is best for the person involved to come forward.
A Lawyer saying "I'm sorry" a hundred times is not as direct as an apology from the person themselves.
And so, just one afternoon, Wang Daoren and his colleagues at Tengda were getting off work, and just as they reached the entrance, they were called out.
"Little Wu, Little Wu!"
The shouting made Wang Daoren look back, and he discovered a strange woman and Qian Decheng standing together nearby; the one who had just called him was that strange woman.
"Who is that person, Little Wu?" Ma Yao, who was passing by, asked.
Wang Daoren shook his head and said, "I don't know either, I've never seen them, but the one next to him is the wife of that landlord of mine from before."
"Oh, it's her. She must be here to ask for Mediation, right? I'll go talk to her!"
Ma Yao said directly, "Don't bother calling out, Little Wu won't agree!"
During these past few days, the Company had been constantly promoting Wang Daoren's case; what is called "buying horse bones with a thousand gold," this was it.
It made everyone realize that the Company wasn't just blowing hot air, but was truly going to help everyone with Legal Aid!
So now, the Employees of Tengda walked out with a different kind of momentum in their speech; they didn't act cowardly no matter who they met.
It gave people the feeling that this corporate culture had truly taken root in people's hearts...
In just a few short days, there were many more consultations.
But some were just simple Torts or contract disputes, or cases of people not paying back money, which was fine, but there were even people asking Qiao Ruoyun, saying that someone in their residential area let their dog defecate everywhere when walking it, and asking if they could sue them!
Anyway, Huo Xiaozhuang was almost stunned at the time; sure enough, the creativity of the masses is truly infinite.
Before, when there was no one to help with Legal Aid, filing a Lawsuit was the very last resort.
Now, no matter what happens, the first thing they think of is, "Can I file a Lawsuit?"
Fortunately, Zhou Yi also had a rule: if one wants to file a Lawsuit, it must first pass the review of the Legal Department, and finally, he must sign it himself before funds can be allocated.
Otherwise, there is no telling what kind of outrageous cases might appear.
Wu Guniang had been in this line of work for quite a while, so her thick-skinned nature went without saying, but still, they had clearly already finished work, so why were they standing there instead of going home? What was there to look at!
And, how could they get off work so early?
She shook her head, casting that thought aside; she couldn't be envious, after all, she earned more.
"Little Wu, I think we should talk. There is no major grudge between you and Mr. Han. He just entered a few times without permission, but he had no malicious intent, so I think it's better to resolve grievances than to keep them..."
Unfortunately, Lawyer Qian hadn't finished speaking yet, because the Company Employees, who felt deep hatred for that phrase due to their handsome boss, directly retorted.
Ma Yao laughed and said, "I ask you not to stand there and talk without feeling the pain in your back, okay? If he had no malicious intent, would he say those things? Or do you think those words are not problematic?"
Words spoken are like spilled water; people will keep them in their hearts forever.
Now, just by opening one's mouth, one expects forgiveness—how can one forgive!
Wu Guniang said, "This young lady, look, you are not Little Wu. Let's let Little Wu speak, shall we? Actually, after Little Wu moved in, we were also very concerned about her. My husband was also just anxious to rent out the house..."
Wang Daoren finally stood out and said, "Really, stop talking. Since I have already initiated a Private Prosecution, I will definitely not agree to Mediation. You all can just give up on that idea."
If he agreed to Mediation, what would Lawyer Huo think? He had gone through so much trouble to finally initiate the Lawsuit.
Hearing this, Wu Guniang's expression changed; she had just wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
Qian Decheng, who was next to her, roared directly, "What is wrong with you? Ah? You said you wanted us to apologize, and I have come here personally to apologize to you, so why can't you just let him off?"
"We were indeed wrong before, so we are prepared to apologize and are even prepared to pay you compensation. We entered our own house, and now you actually want him to go to jail—on what grounds!"
Wu Guniang was expressionless, feeling a bit tired.
Just then, her phone rang; she picked it up and saw it was the director of the law firm.
"Little Qian, what is going on with you? Didn't you secretly accept a retainer fee from someone before, and even tell them you would pull strings?"
Huh? Wu Guniang looked at Qian Decheng; what, what was this situation? How could the director know about this!
She really wanted to question Qian Decheng, but it was already too late.
She wanted to walk away a bit to answer the phone, but she was surrounded by Tengda Employees...
So she could only lower her voice and say, "It's not like that, Director. Listen to my explanation; this is my relative. They just came to me to ask for help, I didn't do anything, really, I didn't do anything!"
Her voice had originally been low, but then it became very loud; the people next to her heard it clearly!
"Oh, very good, you surnamed Qian. You didn't do anything, right? You're scamming us for money, right?"
Pfft, hahaha!
A burst of loud laughter erupted in the crowd, leaving the surrounding Tengda Employees completely bewildered. What was wrong with Lawyer Wang again?
Even if it was funny, there was no need to laugh like that, right? Could it be that his wife had also given birth?
Second update, right on time again... Hehehe.
