my wife is a consul

Chapter 136 Er's rules, my waste paper

Li Dagui looked helplessly at the well-dressed young man who was standing on a stone and giving a speech in front of the dilapidated residential building.

The front of the residential building was full of people, cheers and applause erupted from time to time, and the reporters around took pictures.

He also looked at the short, fat, slightly bald middle-aged man beside him. This was Zhang Zhenbang, the deputy director of the Sanitation Committee under the Beiguan Municipal Management Committee.

Li Dagui felt even more helpless.

The Sanitation Committee originally had a fixed law firm, and the legal business has always been handed over to Liu Hanxuan's firm.

But regarding this dispute, Liu Hanxuan's firm responded that it was in the process of merging negotiations with the firm where lawyer Lu Qianxing works, so there was a conflict of interest and they could not represent them.

It doesn't even matter what the health committee means by sending the letter to terminate the long-term agency contract.

Therefore, the health committee found Tang-Lee Law Firm, and Tang-Lee Law Firm handed it over to me.

The reason is that I have dealt with lawyer Lu Qianxing's firm many times, and I have fought against lawyer Lu Qianxing's apprentice. I was also the legal aid lawyer for Sirov, an important witness in the case of lawyer Lu Qianxing's prosecution against Renault Jr.

In the end, Sirov was pardoned, and you did a great job.

Therefore, you have a wealth of experience in fighting lawyer Lu Qianxing, and your grades are also good. The candidate to represent the lawyer this time is none other than you.

Li Dagui thought that the boss was talking to him very seriously, and he gave one, two or three reasons why this case must be done by him, and he wanted to cry without tears.

When you are afraid, you say you are afraid. What is this for?
Lawyer Lu Qianxing is in the limelight now, and no one wants to fight him, which is understandable, but it doesn't matter, being cannon fodder makes him a very good guy, right?
"Wow", there was another warm applause over there.

Today the sun is very poisonous, Zhang Zhenbang, the deputy director of the health committee next to Li Dagui, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat of his bald head, and looked at the other side with disdain, "A show, a show! It's too much!"

Li Dagui was taken aback. This Director Zhang is not a member of the legal profession, so he naturally doesn't know how scary this lawyer Lu Qianxing is. In addition, Director Zhang is still a senior official of the administrative agency, with a high position and authority, and he is full of bureaucracy. He was careless and arrogant about this meeting, especially when the other party asked him to wait here, he was even more angry.

But you can't talk nonsense about these words, if Lu Qianxing heard it, what's the matter?

However, I can't let my customers shut up, right?

Li Dagui quietly stood a little further away from Director Zhang, so as not to be heard by Lu Qianxing's people and think that he was complaining with him.

But, having said that, Lawyer Lu Qianxing is really putting on a show, isn't he?

A huge poster has been hung on the exterior of the New Era mall building, which can be clearly seen from a long distance. Why does Lawyer Lu Qianxing want to create a fair society and a fair community, starting with the lemonade girl!
On the huge poster, the bustling background of high-rise buildings and the little girl standing with patches all over her body and holding a bottle of lemonade are extremely contrasting.

Behind the little girl, there are a group of fuzzy images in poorly dressed clothes. It seems that they are all working class.

"Let her and them become members of our fair society!" is the voice of Lawyer Lu on the poster.

Not to mention, the little girl's grandmother has already been sent to the hospital by Lawyer Lu, and I heard that she took very good care of her.

Lu Lu led a large group of people to do things at the little girl's house. Isn't this just a show?
Li Dagui then shook his head quickly, trying to forget these thoughts, otherwise, if he slipped his tongue during the negotiation later, it would be terrible.

"You two, please follow me!" A beautiful girl in a red elegant style dress stood beside her and made a gesture of invitation.

Over there, the applause became more and more enthusiastic. It seemed that Lawyer Lu Qianxing's speech had come to an end.

……

In the conference room with glass walls, you can see the busy men and women outside, and you can tell by their dress and temperament that they are all professional elites in this society.

Director Zhang, who was originally very arrogant, restrained his arrogance a little at this time, but after waiting in the meeting room for too long, he was still a little impatient, and turned to Li Dagui, "Go and remind me!"

On the other side of Director Zhang, sat a middle-aged man with a disturbed expression, wearing black uniform clothes and pants, the iconic pen with a pen in his jacket pocket.

The health supervisor who caused this dispute is called Chen Rongchang.

He was called here temporarily, and the other party refused the meeting when they saw that Chen Rongchang was not present.

After Li Dagui persuaded, Director Zhang called him and called him over.

"Oh, here we come!" Zhang Zhenbang wanted to urge him several times. Li Dagui originally wanted to pretend to go out for a walk, but he saw several figures had already arrived in front of the glass wall, and then the glass door slid open left and right.

Lu Qianxing came in holding the little girl Xiuxiu's hand, and when he reached the oval conference table, the beautiful girl in red who followed him picked up the little girl and placed her on the large leather seat.

The little girl, Xiuxiu, was no longer covered in patches, but she was still dressed plainly, in calico.

When she saw Chen Rongchang, she immediately bowed her head timidly. Obviously, she was still very afraid of this middle-aged uncle who had kicked her booth viciously.

"My time is precious!" Lu Ming took out a blank piece of paper, glanced at Li Dagui, crossed out the number on it, and wrote a new number.

"Our time..." Zhang Zhenbang was immediately annoyed when he heard the young man's words, isn't my time much more precious than yours?

Li Dagui had already whispered in his ear: "The lawyer across the street will charge 1 yuan for one minute of consultation."

After sending Xiao Lei Nuo to the guillotine, on the price list of Wang-Lu Law Firm, the consulting fee of lawyer Lu Qianxing skyrocketed from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan per minute.

Zhang Zhenbang froze, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't say what he wanted to say. One minute, is it his salary for a year?

Lu Ming had already pushed the white paper with numbers on it and slid it over the smooth conference table.

"So, hurry up and decide, otherwise, I will raise the price."

Li Dagui picked up the white paper and took a look, and immediately gasped. On it was a 7 and 4 zeros, which is 0 yuan.

"Are you crazy?!" Zhang Zhenbang stood up abruptly, "You are simply a lunatic!" Turning to Li Dagui, "Let's go!"

Lu Ming smiled: "Whatever, actually, I originally asked for 10 yuan, but I didn't expect that your side would be represented by lawyer Li Dagui. I fought against lawyer Li Dagui..."

Hearing this, Li Dagui almost got up in panic and said he didn't dare, but after all, the client was beside him, so he still sat reservedly, with a calm expression on his face.

"Lawyer Li Dagui is a very good lawyer, so, I think, even if I go to court, I can get the same price. Therefore, with a [-]% discount, our time is very precious, so don't waste it on It's in court!"

Li Dagui looked at the piece of paper, indeed, it was originally 100000, but after sketching it, it became 70000.
"Director Zhang, don't worry, just listen to what the other party has to say." Li Dagui whispered in Zhang Zhenbang's ear.

Zhang Zhenbang snorted coldly, and sat down. So, are these lawyers also asking for sky-high prices?

In this dispute, I saw the letter from the other party's lawyer, and it seemed that Director Li knew about this person, so he told himself to come here, saying that he would spend less money and settle it. There was no need to go to court and be attacked by the other party.

Director Li explained that if it is less than [-] yuan, he can agree.

Originally, I thought that Director Li was being foolish, why did he pay so much compensation?

But now looking at the numbers the other party brought out, I simply feel that this is an absurd dream.

Li Dagui looked at Lu Ming, "Lawyer Lu, it is illegal for your client to set up a stall without a sanitation permit, but for humanitarian reasons, we are willing to offer appropriate condolences to Xiuxiu, but it is nothing Compensation, moreover, your figure is simply impossible."

Looking at the giant who was almost impossible to knock down, Li Dagui calmed down instead. As a lawyer, at this time, he still has to perform his duties, do his best, and do whatever he can.

Lu Ming smiled: "Why do you have to have a sanitation permit to set up a stall?"

In a word, everyone present was a little confused.

Originally, everyone thought that Lawyer Lu was asking for compensation on the grounds of his own brutal law enforcement. Now, the sanitation permit has been denied?

Lu Ming continued: "What is a sanitation permit? Isn't it still a human inspection of the sanitation of the product? Is there any difference from the operator's own sanitation inspection?"

"Note that the indigenous beverages mentioned here do not involve expired products, additives, and the like."

"Actually, in a society where all commodities have to be tested by a specific agency to check whether they are qualified or not, this society has already lost!"

"It shows that in this society, the bottom line of morality is already the law. This is a kind of sadness."

"Of course, I also think that testing agencies are necessary, and the more categories the better."

"However, this kind of testing, the issuance of this kind of certificate, should not violate human nature."

"Take Xiuxiu as an example. She and her grandma have been selling lemonade for many years. The place where they set up a stall is on the ground of a new era shopping mall. The security guards there never chased her away, because they all knew that the little girl was very bitter, and the grandparents Sun Liang's lemonade has always been clean and hygienic. For so many years, no one has had any minor problems after drinking their lemonade. So, why does she insist on your approval? Do you want your certificate? Products with your certificate will be released. Are there few problems?"

"Half a century ago, when our sanitation management agencies came into being, was it for you to drive out the real traders of conscience?"

"Why do you have to give part of the money her grandparents and grandchildren earned from setting up a stall for a month?"

"However, the law..." Before Li Dagui finished speaking, Lu Ming waved his hand, "Laws are made by people, especially the provisions of some institutions, which restrict specific groups of people, must they be reasonable? The regulations of the Health Commission, in my eyes Li, like fart."

"You!" Director Zhang was originally annoyed when he heard the other party's nonsense, but who knows, when such a sentence suddenly appeared, he blushed with anger, and stood up, "Why are you speaking so rudely?!"

Lu Ming looked at him, "Believe it or not, you will have to amend the clauses soon after going to court?! Many clauses will soon become farts!"

"You, you..." Director Zhang pointed at Lu Ming, too angry to speak.

Lu Ming ignored him, and looked at Li Dagui, "Okay, let's not talk about health permits, let's talk about Xiuxiu's loss."

"Even if Xiuxiu doesn't have a sanitation permit, you broke a lot of her things when you enforced the law..."

Li Dagui nodded: "These losses can be discussed."

"And the injury the little girl suffered..."

Li Dagui pondered: "We can also talk about it."

"More importantly, the public slander of the little girl's products, saying that her lemonade is unhygienic, smashed in public, and caused losses to Xiuxiu."

"You should understand that Xiuxiu's meticulously prepared lemonade, customers thought the price was not high, but the exclusive handmade formula is delicious, hygienic, and a bit old-fashioned. Although the price is not high, it feels very high-end. There are also customers from far away who come to buy them specially. Your law enforcement agency said it was unhygienic and smashed it on the spot. These lemonades were mixed with sewage. In the future, when people see Xiuxiu’s lemonade, they will think of sewage. Will anyone buy it? Do you understand the psychology of consumers?"

Li Dagui was stunned, but he had done enough homework, "After a long time after Xiuxiu, the lemonade may not be sold well. The health committee is willing to issue a special sanitation license to Xiuxiu, and within ten years, The waiver of the management fee can be regarded as making up for her loss."

Xiuxiu couldn't understand anything else, but when she heard this, her big eyes flickered, and she looked at Uncle Qianxing beside her. This way, it's really all right, and the sanitation permit without charge is simply unimaginably good.

In the past, it was not that grandma didn’t want to pay, but the people in the health committee thought that the drinks were sold in bulk, so they asked for an inspection and a fee every time they were sold. For this reason, grandma often cried, and myself and grandma could only talk to the health supervisors. hide and seek.

Lu Ming listened to Li Dagui's words, shook his head and smiled, "Da Gui, you still don't understand."

"Let me show you a sample document!" Lu Ming stretched out his hand, and the girl in red next to him hurriedly took out a few pages of documents from the briefcase. Lu Ming pushed it and slid it in front of Li Dagui.

Li Dagui picked it up and looked at it, he couldn't help being stunned, but it was a letter of intent to buy out Huaxia Beverage Company, and Party B was Xiuxiu's name.

The above said that grandparents' lemonade has a unique formula and a good taste, and it can also be built into a time-honored brand. Huaxia Beverage Industry plans to invest 5 yuan to purchase the exclusive formula, and every year the lemonade sales, there will be bonuses distributed to Xiuxiu's grandparents and grandchildren. .

The date of signing the letter of intent was ten days ago.

Lu Ming shook his head: "Now, the reputation of grandparents and grandchildren's lemonade has been completely ruined by you. You have thrown it into the sewage ditch in public and said it is unhygienic. This is a black spot that will never be erased. Huaxia Drinks has withdrawn the offer. Let Xiuxiu's grandparents and grandchildren lose for a long time, no matter what, it will cost 20 or 7 yuan, and now I want to claim [-] yuan from you, and it is because of you, lawyer Li Dagui, that I have pushed myself to the limit!"

Director Zhang next to Li Dagui looked at the letter of intent, and said coldly: "It's a bunch of nonsense, make up this thing, does anyone believe it?"

Lu Ming frowned slightly: "Director Zhang, I forgive you for the first time, if you slander me for the illegal act of forging documents again, I will formally file a lawsuit against you in court for damaging my reputation. It’s not 7, 70, this kind of compensation can be solved!”

"As for whether this document is valid or not, we will know when we go to court!"

Li Dagui frowned, and whispered something in Director Zhang's ear, and Director Zhang sat down slowly.

Lu Ming continued: "The 7 yuan compensation will set up a fund, which will be supervised by our law firm, and will be responsible for the expenses of Xiuxiu's grandparents and grandchildren, including grandma's medical needs, Xiuxiu's schooling and living expenses in the future, Wait, until you get married, there should be a very generous dowry..." At this point, Lu Ming looked at Xiuxiu beside him, smiled slightly, and pinched Xiuxiu's face: "Little guy, there is a dowry Yes, study hard in the future, and thank you to the uncles and uncles of the health committee!"

Over there, Director Zhang gritted his teeth, "This is impossible!"

"Oh..." Lu Ming raised his head, looked at Chen Rongchang, that is, the middle-aged man who smashed up the Xiuxiu booth, and pointed at him, "There is an additional clause in the settlement agreement. This person must be fired from public office."

Chen Rongchang's face turned pale immediately.

Director Zhang thought for a while, and said, "How about this, Rongchang, first of all, you should sincerely apologize to Xiuxiu and show our sincerity."

"Okay, okay..." In front of this big leader, Chen Rongchang didn't dare to say more, he immediately got up, and bowed deeply to Xiuxiu: "Miss Xiuxiu, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Xiuxiu looked at this ferocious middle-aged uncle, now, she looked like a pitiful wretch.I feel that this occasion is terrible, and I really don't want to sit here, but he seems to be more afraid of something.

Not daring to say anything, Xiuxiu hid behind Lu Ming.

Director Zhang said again: "Chen Rongchang, we will be fired. How about five hundred yuan in compensation? Including, free sanitation permits for Xiuxiu's grandparents."

Being used to being a leader, he felt that the lawyers around him were not very helpful, so Director Zhang decided to take control of the situation by himself.

Li Dagui shook his head helplessly.

And over there, Chen Rongchang's legs went limp, and he was already slumped on a chair. How could this happen? After he apologized, he said that he would fire himself.

Moreover, it was in front of my own face.

But in the eyes of these big leaders, they are not human at all when they wait for these dog legs. Naturally, they don't consider their own feelings.

Lu Ming looked at Zhang Zhenbang dumbfounded, "Director Zhang, isn't this a vegetable market? 500? Well, you can go back and think about it. If there is no clear answer in three days, I will formally file a lawsuit on behalf of my client!"

Zhang Zhenbang was stunned, and realized that he seemed to be making a joke. Here, it is not such a counter-offer. The other party really wants this astronomical amount of compensation.

How crazy!

With a livid face, he said to Li Dagui: "Let's go!"

Lu Ming smiled: "Director Zhang, off topic, in fact, your fees, including various taxes, etc., are finally used for the secondary distribution of social wealth. In fact, during the secondary distribution, instead of giving it to people like me It’s easy to take away things like engineering, so it’s better to allocate them to Xiuxiu’s grandparents and grandchildren who really need them to save lives, don’t you think?”

Zhang Zhenbang's face was livid, and he strode out, followed by Li Dagui.

Lu Ming smiled at Li Dagui: "Dagui, if my argument goes to court, do you think the judge and jury will agree?"

Li Dagui's heart trembled, he forced a smile, and quickly followed out.

……

In the conference room, Lu Ming looked at Xiuxiu, "Okay, let's go to the newspaper to be interviewed, Xiuxiu, you have to be a good show, cooperate well with uncle, your name is Xiuxiu, you must be able to do a show!"

Xiuxiu lowered her head, not daring to speak.

The beautiful girl in red next to her felt a little helpless. If she hadn't known Lawyer Lu for many years, she probably really thought that Lawyer Lu did all these things for the sake of running for a councilor.

Even when Lawyer Lu sent Little Lei Nuo to the guillotine, many people outside thought that Lawyer Lu had failed to blackmail the Lei Nuo family's tower restaurant, so they stared at Little Lei Nuo with vengeance and decided to kill Little Lei Nuo, but, Little Lei Nuo, Really damn it.

Now again, it is clear that Lawyer Lu is really helping the grandparents and grandchildren, but it is just a show because he is going to run for a member of the council.

I originally understood it this way, thinking that Lawyer Lu was hypocritical and scary.

However, after listening to Pan Dong talk about Lawyer Lu, I asked myself, as the head of the campaign office, to help him in the election.

Now, I understand Lawyer Lu a little bit. In fact, in his bones, he is a very kind and gentle person.

But maybe, in this world, kind and gentle people are destined to have many weaknesses when they stand on a high ground.

Lawyer Lu didn't want anyone to see his weakness, so he disguised himself as much as possible, so that what outsiders saw was just what he wanted others to see.

People outside the circle, ordinary people, will be infected by Lawyer Lu's declaration and will support Lawyer Lu's proposition.

People in the circle, who know a lot of inside information, will think that Lawyer Lu is hypocritical, cruel and terrifying.

Only those who are truly himself will know what a special existence he is.
