Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 6 Face 2
"Let's move on to the second question."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Wolf, I have one more thing to add about this case. As you can imagine, the woman's family background is relatively poor and her life is definitely not well-off. Add to that the burden of legal fees, and the already poor family is even worse off.

So as a lawyer, I suggest that when pursuing criminal charges, don't forget to ask them to provide civil compensation as compensation for the emotional distress they've suffered over the years. I think 500 yuan is a good starting point."

"Hahaha, Mr. Gu, you are such a good person."

"I am just trying to maximize the interests of my client. As a lawyer, this is what I should do."

"You've handled quite a few cases before, right? Seeing how young you are, I actually thought you were inexperienced at first. I have to apologize for my prejudice."

"Thank you for your respect. I have handled some very interesting cases. If I have the opportunity to join a law firm, we can exchange experiences."

When you are away from home, you give yourself an identity. There is chaos and chaos everywhere, and there are many cases.

"Okay, let's move on to the second question. Tonight, the Concession Municipal Council has added a new regulation. Starting tomorrow, no one is allowed to wear red cheongsams. Anyone caught wearing red cheongsams will be sentenced to ten years in prison.

The next day, someone went out on the street wearing a red cheongsam and was arrested on the spot. How should he defend himself?

I remind you that many people saw her wearing a red cheongsam, which is an indisputable fact.

This is not an easy question, I can let you think about it more."

Professor Wolfe raised his head and smiled with interest, which was quite challenging. Then he leaned back, picked up his pipe and took a sip.

This bored expression and the absurd interview questions really make me want to slap him twice, then dangle a carrot to make him work diligently.

Gu Yansheng thought for a moment and answered directly, "This question seems like a dead end, but it's not that difficult."

"Easy?" Professor Wolf frowned in surprise, lowering his legs to reveal his disbelief. "Think carefully, this was a red-handed arrest with numerous witnesses."

Gu Yansheng didn't hide his innocence. "The police in the concession arrested the woman for wearing a red cheongsam, right?"

Wolf nodded: "Yes, it is reasonable and legal."

Gu Yansheng nodded in agreement. "Well, how did the police in the concession determine that the woman was wearing a red cheongsam?"

Wolf was stunned. "I saw it with my own eyes. I told you so."

Gu Yansheng chuckled and shook his head: "If you see it with your own eyes, it must be true? If you see it with your own eyes, it can't be fake?
If that's true, then I have a problem.

Excuse me, what is red?

The law prohibits everyone from wearing red cheongsams, but does the law stipulate what color is considered red?
Half red and half green, is it red?

A little red, the rest is all black, is it red?
Or simply, I raised my left hand, cut the palm of my hand with a knife, made a fist and dripped a drop of blood on a black cheongsam. Then is this cheongsam black or red?

If one drop is not enough, I went crazy and raised my hand to wipe a tube of blood on my black cheongsam. Then is it red?
Dark red, black red, colorful orange-red, there are so many colors in the world, I bet the Municipal Council has never made a specific description of the red range.

When the Municipal Council issues a rule, it only needs to add a line to the code, but if it wants to stipulate the range of the red area, I am afraid that adding a ton of paper to the code will not be enough.

Now the Municipal Council has a vague definition, which is an oversight in their work. They want to arrest me based on this, which is trampling on the rule of law.

The spirit of the rule of law is that the benefit of the doubt belongs to the defendant, and anything is allowed unless prohibited by law.

If this can be considered a red cheongsam, then if anyone wants to frame someone today, for example, by throwing a drop of red blood on the judge or a director of the Municipal Council, shouldn't both of them be arrested immediately and sentenced to ten years in prison?

The police station arrested the person without verifying the regulations, which is a procedural violation. If the woman asks me to represent her, I think she can file a counter-sue against the police station for detaining her without reason and demand an apology and compensation.

If you are still not satisfied, I think that the suits and lawyer robes worn by everyone in the court at that time, and even the robe of the judge sitting in the court, can't they be a kind of cheongsam?

Has the Municipal Council ever defined what a cheongsam is?

Don't let everyone in the court be arrested for leaving the house. That would make the whole world laugh."

Wolf laughed heartily: "Gu, you are truly a talent, with a unique way of thinking."

As a made-up question, this answer gets to the point.

Arresting a woman may not cause any waves in society, but if the Municipal Council itself tramples on the rule of law, there will definitely be a group of legal scholars who will come out and attack it.

"Are you satisfied with this answer?" Gu Yancheng asked knowingly.

"Of course I am. Next, we can talk about what we didn't discuss just now. I am very interested in your experience and the cases you have worked on."

The experiences were all made up, so Gu Yansheng didn't mind reading out to him the things arranged by the organization.

"Gu, I think you're qualified for the job here. There's no need to ask the third question." Wolf stood up, solemnly extended his hand, and said with a smile, "I recognize your abilities. I personally welcome you to join Danwen Law Firm. Now let's discuss the salary. I hope it will satisfy everyone."

Now that the task of entering the door had been completed, Gu Yansheng was not too concerned about the issue of treatment.

He was here for a short-term job and wasn't destined to stay here long-term, so he had to make it quick.

However, if you lower your wealth, people will look down on you. You are a bastard if you don't make money even though you have it.

So Gu Yansheng reminded him, "I hope the treatment will satisfy me. You know, I just came to Shanghai and I need money."

Wolf nodded, then hesitated. "Actually, we have clear regulations regarding lawyers' salaries. It's a base salary system of 100 yuan or the equivalent in US dollars. You get 30% of any cases assigned to you by the firm, and 50% of any cases you find yourself. The rest goes to the firm to cover daily expenses. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Well." Gu Yansheng did not answer immediately. Agreeing too quickly made people feel cheap.

Wolf hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "There's also a partnership system. There's no base salary under a partnership system, but you'll need to pay 100 yuan to the firm each month. If you want to hire an assistant, you'll have to cover their expenses yourself. However, you'll have the final say on whether the firm accepts your case, and you can take up to 80% of the commission on all cases."

"Originally I wasn't going to give the newcomer any choice and would only offer him a lawyer position, but Gu, I think you are good enough for me to give you more." Wolf explained.

This price is about right.

Gu Yansheng is not a virgin, and the right thing to do is to spend money to work.

The first type is obviously exploited by capital very harshly. The basic salary is only a few dollars, and the commission is the key to whether they are rich or not.

However, for him, neither price is the key point. What is important is that he cannot be looked down upon. He is not here to be a servant who moves materials, and his freedom cannot be restricted.

"Let's stick with the basic salary system." Gu Yansheng gave up the option with more financial prospects in a very bachelor manner. The reason was simply because he was poor.

Wolf was a little confused about Gu Yansheng's choice. He hesitated and frowned, saying, "Are you planning to interview somewhere else? No, Gu, you have to believe that I have given our utmost sincerity. This is a partnership contract."

Gu Yansheng smiled helplessly, "Mr. Wolf, you're overthinking it. I've just arrived in Shanghai and my pockets are empty. If you can lend me 500 yuan, I wouldn't mind going into partnership."

"Just for this? You chose the basic salary system just for this? 500 dollars? No problem." Wolf's jaw dropped, and then he smiled foolishly at his own thoughts. This was a fear of losing. This was a talent, a young genius.

Wolf's straightforwardness stunned Gu Yansheng. He swore that he had just said it casually.

"It's been less than an hour since you and I met." Gu Yansheng laughed.

Wolf shook his head. "Gu, are you really going to run away for a mere 500 dollars? If you run away, you'll never be able to practice law again. If 500 dollars can buy out your legal career, I think anyone who knows you would be willing to pay more than that."

"I have to admit, Wolf, you are a very courageous man." Gu Yansheng nodded seriously to express his admiration.

"Gu, that's because your ability matches my courage."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Business mutual praise.

"Can I go to work then? I can't wait to make money."

"Of course you can. First, let Miss Mai Rui show you around, your office, your business cards. Oh, by the way, are you from the concession? If not, you'll need to go through the identity formalities there. Don't worry, with our law firm's sign, your process will go very smoothly. Of course, Miss Mai Rui will be there with you."

Wolfe's final emotionally intelligent words made Miss Merry's smile even brighter.

When they were leaving, several of the interviewees had obviously learned the true skills from the receptionist Susan. They were a little nervous, but also eager to try.

When I saw Miss Mary come out, I thought she was here to call someone as usual.

Who knows——"Mr. Wolf has found the candidate he wants. Today's interview is over. I will notify you when there is a need next time."

stunned!

Like being struck by lightning!

The interviewers stared at Gu Yansheng and almost called him a shameless person.

Especially the one ranked first just now, I hate it!

Gu Yansheng smiled and nodded. "I still need an assistant. Meeting is fate. If you are willing, I can arrange an interview after I come back. The time will probably be after dinner."

You actually want to be their boss?

Shameless.
