Chapter 388: Old Zhang, I've decided to befriend this brother!

Spring has arrived, and it is once again the season for animals to mate.

Zhang Wei walked down the road with his classic messenger bag; he did not want to return to the firm, he even wanted to resign and never work in this profession again.

He had already given up; after this experience, he had become a laughingstock in the legal circles of Jingzhou City.

It really is that mysterious; good news doesn't leave the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

It has been less than a week, and in the Five Institutes and Four Departments, as well as legal universities like Handong University of Political Science and Law, the law professors have yet another new joke to tell.

Don't find it strange; law professors have many, many jokes.

Once you have handled enough cases, you will have encountered all sorts of strange and bizarre situations.

For example, the most famous legal paradox among law professors and law students.

Emergency Legislative Power: refers to the right of law students during an exam, in order to keep their answer sheets full when they have no other choice, to continue creating laws based on general legal principles.

Legislative Veto Power: refers to the right of law professors during the grading process, when a student's self-created law based on general legal principles conflicts with current law, to declare the self-created law invalid by failing the student.

If anyone were to take a look at the final exam answer sheets of law students, they would find that the act of creating laws out of thin air happens from time to time...

But to be fair, one as coincidental as Lawyer Zhang has never been seen before.

It is foreseeable that he will become an enduring figure in law classrooms; many people may not know who Lawyer Fang is after graduation, but they will certainly know there was a lawyer named Zhang Wei...

Zhang Wei really wanted to explain, saying that the matter of the Protest was brought up by the client's father, but he could not say it.

Because a lawyer has the obligation to inform the client and their close relatives of what rights they possess.

Regardless of whether it can be achieved, you must tell them.

The legal obligation to inform is very important; for example, although many of us now know that we have a two-instance final judgment system.

If you are dissatisfied after the First Instance, you can Appeal.

But after the First Instance verdict is delivered, you must still be informed that you can file an Appeal within a certain number of working days.

As a result, while walking, he discovered someone blocking his path ahead.

Already feeling very annoyed, Zhang Wei opened his mouth and cursed: "Who is it? A good dog doesn't... Lawyer Wang? You are..."

Yet halfway through the curse, he discovered the person opposite him was Wang Daoren.

"Old Zhang, there is no need to be so dejected; others may not understand you, but I do!"

"If you don't want to return to the law firm and really have nowhere to go, then give me a call; I will recommend a place for you."

After saying this, Wang Daoren patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and then slowly walked away, leaving only Zhang Wei standing there in a daze.

Of course, after getting into his car, Lawyer Wang almost laughed until he couldn't breathe; finally, he, Wang, was no longer the laughingstock of the Jingzhou legal circle!

Thinking back, having been penalized twice in a row, and then encountering that kind of client, he had already been mocked in every way.

Now... enough said, this brother Old Zhang, I have made up my mind to befriend him!

Zhou Yi's new video had already been released, but compared to previous videos, it did not cause much of a sensation.

Because everyone had already eaten all the gossip they could during this period.

When eating gossip, one still wants it fresh.

Even so, the audience lords of Zhou Mouren all watched the video; the video was not the main thing, the main thing was wanting to see the bullet comments.

This incident was truly too dramatic.

Originally it was just a matter of hitting a dog to death, and then A Yi bore no responsibility and could even make the other party pay money.

As a result, the other party not only refused to pay but also dared to write a Small Essay online!

Then they went inside, were sentenced, and then played some game with a Protest, causing A Yi to pull off another flashy move, turning a Suspended Sentence into a three-year Fixed-term Imprisonment.

This series of twists and turns was so enjoyable for everyone to watch!

Coupled with the fact that those other dog lovers and big-V Self-Media accounts also went inside, the atmosphere online finally improved a little.

Mainly because even the celebrity Zhang Qi was sentenced.

Celebrities from all walks of life became even more cautious and would not easily step in to speak; the radio and television administration even listed Zhang Qi as a disgraced artist and banned them.

This also made many fans realize that celebrities have no special privileges; if they commit a crime, they will also be caught and will also go to jail!

However, the matter ended, but the conflict between dog owners and non-dog owners still continues.

Recently, there have been many similar disputes occurring.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of this heat to stir up public opinion, but unfortunately, the various Self-Media outlets that were previously keen on reporting similar events are now simply ignoring them.

Actually, if you pay close attention, you will know that many media or Self-Media outlets are very keen on things involving opposition.

The headlines are also very repulsive; even if it is just a simple matter, they will specify gender or region in the headline.

Especially gender issues.

After all, there are only two genders, so as long as a conflict occurs, besides man-man or woman-woman, it is man-woman; it has a one-third probability.

Fortunately, this time, one of the editors from that media outlet that often stirs up trouble also went inside, making such reports slightly less frequent.

However, it is obvious that this is only temporary; reports that stir up opposing emotions are very high in traffic...

Zhou Yi did not pay attention to these, because he had no way to manage such things.

After the video was sent out, he became idle again.

Wang Zhengnan and the others had already returned.

He had of course seen the comments online before, but to tell the truth, without a System Task, it was truly impossible to help these people get to the bottom of it.

If it were a Company Employee, then perhaps it might be possible.

It's one hundred million, it would be a waste not to spend it...

Having become idle, Zhou Yi lived an even more reclusive life; if the Company had business, he would go to the Company to handle it, and if the Company had no business, he would go to chat and learn with Lawyer Fang.

On one hand, he listened to the other party tell little legal stories, and on the other hand, he learned how to fight from Lawyer Fang.

Then, he also went to the gym to practice.

In Lawyer Fang's words, for people like us who do things, we must first have some ability!

Otherwise, if something really happens, no matter how you handle it afterward, it will be of no use.

Because you simply won't have an "afterward."

If you encounter those who are drunk or have a violent temper, and you can't control yourself for a moment, a single punch might cost a life.

Fang Dazhuang's fighting methods aren't taught casually either; they must be strictly combined with Legitimate Defense.

Holding Criminal Law in one hand and a fist in the other—that is the most classic way!

Relying on only one, walking on one leg, is not acceptable.

Zhou Yi also thinks it is very necessary; he is offending more and more people now, and there is no guarantee that someone won't want revenge.

Mainly because he spent all of last year stirring up trouble, and since getting the system, he hasn't stopped; this guy's system's Intelligence-Lowering Halo is becoming increasingly severe.

Things in life are generally going smoothly, but sometimes there are parts that make one feel uncomfortable.

For example, taking damaged currency to a bank to exchange it, and then being sent by this bank to another bank, and similar things.

Zhou Yi doesn't know what to say either.

Spring has completely covered Handong Province, the bitter cold of winter is slowly fading away, and Zhou Yi has also started changing into spring clothes.

Fang Dazhuang is taking fewer cases now and going to Old Place Cafe more frequently.

It is another afternoon, and Fang Dazhuang, Zhou Xinran, and Zhou Yi are sitting in Old Place Cafe, chatting about some very "criminal" topics.

Then Zhou Yi mentions "Zhong'ai Heisi."

"Xinran, after such a long time, have you found anything for me? This guy is still smearing me now!"

In the last video, this "Zhong'ai Heisi" popped out again, doing all kinds of analysis, and he could even analyze the key points.

Many of Zhou Yi's viewers thought that this person should also make videos or start live streaming or something.

As it turns out, the person does nothing at all; it seems like they have clearly declared their stance: I want to smear A Yi!

Zhou Xinran bites her lip, almost turning into a Psyduck, and tries hard to say: "There's nothing, I don't have any channels either, I really can't find any way."

"Sigh." Zhou Yi sighs: "Fang Dazhuang, how can we legally slander others on the internet?"

As soon as he finishes speaking, he sees Fang Dazhuang's eyes widen...

Next, the three of them start discussing under what circumstances one can have many wives without being considered a bigamist, and under what circumstances one can turn residential burglary into residential robbery...

Fang Dazhuang puts forward his own understanding, and Zhou Yi and Zhou Xinran nod repeatedly as they listen.

As a result, only after Fang Dazhuang finishes speaking does he realize the problem; what a sin...

Life is going on lukewarmly, but every day is very carefree.

It is another beautiful morning; waking up on the large bed in Guangming Peak Residential Quarter and looking at this flat-floor room, Zhou Yi inexplicably feels a bit lonely.

But he quickly shakes his head to drive this thought out of his mind; what loneliness or not, I'm not lonely at all, okay!

He washes up and goes downstairs to the basement; Wang Daoren called yesterday to say that another recommended candidate has joined the Company, asking President Zhou to go and review them.

It's just that the situation wasn't specifically explained over the phone.

Zhou Yi doesn't have any particular thoughts; there's no way around it, the Company's Legal Department is still short of people.

Huo Pengfei already has a little girlfriend; this is a big piece of gossip in the Company recently!

People all say he is an "old ox eating tender grass" and so on, but they were directly retorted by Huo Dazhuang.

In his words, we are both willing, is there any need for you to be meddlesome?

It's just that the age gap is slightly larger, but no one cares.

Huo Pengfei has money and ability, and he also knows how to take care of people, so what if he is a little older.

However, despite saying he has a girlfriend, it turns out he has been so busy lately that he doesn't even have much time for dates.

Many of them are trivial little cases.

Meanwhile, in the Company's conference room, Wang Daoren is sitting with Zhang Wei.

"It's fine, Old Zhang, there will definitely be no problem with President Zhou; I still have that much face in the Company." Wang Daoren says there.

Zhang Wei's hands are shaking; he doesn't know which nerve of his went wrong either, not doing his job as a proper Litigation lawyer, only to be coaxed by Wang Daoren into becoming in-house counsel.

He even said things like, the legal work we have here involves more lawsuits than the law firms outside!

In Zhang Wei's eyes, this is simply impossible!

Law firms serve everyone, but your company only has these Employees; could it be that a few hundred Employees can have so many cases?

Of course, that's not the point; the point is that what Wang Daoren described to him was very good, saying the Company environment is nice, the benefits are first-class, and there are many pretty girls...

It's just that Zhang Wei is now shaking while growling: "Old Wang, why didn't you say last time that your boss is Zhou Yi... President Zhou!"

Damn it, he only found out today too!

He just thought that President Zhou was difficult to deal with; he never expected that Old Wang was actually the in-house counsel for that President Zhou's Company!

What is going on; that previous case was even introduced to him by Old Wang.

It ended up making him the laughingstock of the Jingzhou legal circle, and even the domestic legal community...

"Ahem... well, Old Zhang, don't worry about these details; look, we are all brothers, right? How could a brother cheat you?"

Zhang Wei doesn't speak; he can't very well say that he shivers now whenever he sees that President Zhou, especially when Fang Dazhuang is standing next to that President Zhou.

A perfectly good Suspended Sentence, inexplicably gone, and even changed to three years of Fixed-term Imprisonment...

The two are chatting when the conference room door is pushed open, and Zhou Yi walks in, followed by He Ling.

"Lawyer Zhang is here, no worries, no worries, sit down quickly!"

Yet, after Zhou Yi enters, Zhang Wei habitually stands up, only to be persuaded to sit back down.

Zhou Yi also sits down nearby and then says: "Lawyer Zhang, I heard you want to come to our Company to be in-house counsel, right."

Coming to the Company and hearing He Ling's report, he realizes the lawyer who came is named Zhang Wei; thinking carefully, isn't this Xiang Yuyu's defense lawyer!

Why does it feel like the Company is only finding losers now, one by one with terrible luck.

Not to mention Wang Daoren, this Lawyer Zhang is even more of a disaster!

However... the Company is short on people right now, and at the very least, Lawyer Zhang's level is acceptable; after all, when it comes to things like lawsuits, self-confidence is very important.

As it happens, those two great lawyers Zhang and Wang, say nothing else, but confidence is always their number one trait!

Even though the two of us are constantly being suspended from practice, and even though we are always being scolded by clients, we are good lawyers.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, President Zhou, I feel that the corporate culture of Tengda Company is extremely attractive to me."

"Alright then, let Lao Wang take you to tour the Company, and if you feel it's a good fit, then we'll settle it."

How should I put it, it doesn't matter; after all, where a Crouching Dragon appears, how can there not be a Phoenix Chick following along?

I hope these two can grow big and strong, and create new brilliance.

The Company currently has about forty or so cases in Lawsuit, which isn't many, and looking at Zhang Wei's physique, it's not bad either.

These days, who doesn't look at physical fitness when hiring for a Legal Department!

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he stepped forward to shake hands with Zhang Wei, then instructed He Ling to prepare the paperwork, and then turned and left.

Leaving only Zhang Wei looking dazed; the interview was already over?

Wang Daoren laughed: "That's right, the interview is already over."

"I already told you our boss is a very easygoing person; let's go, I'll take you to the Legal Department."

"President He, regarding the paperwork..."

He Ling waved her hand and said: "It's fine, you go ahead first; Lawyer Wang, give me your documents, I will prepare the paperwork."

When Zhang Wei was brought to the Legal Department office, he still hadn't quite reacted.

Currently, Huo Pengfei has gone to court, and only Liu Shiwen is in the Legal Department.

"This is our Legal Department Director Liu!" Wang Daoren introduced.

"There is also a Lawyer Huo Pengfei; he is the one with the highest level in our Company, he has gone to court now, he has two today."

Zhang Wei nodded repeatedly; just as they were being introduced, there was a knock at the door, and then an Employee walked in with a trace of anger on their face.

"Lawyer Wang, I would like to ask, can we... sue Nudong Company? I want to cancel my number, but they keep giving me all sorts of excuses and won't process it!"

The second update is here, over eight thousand words updated! Requesting monthly tickets!
