Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 105: Speaking for the Common People
"Even if I said something wrong, don't be so harsh."

"It hurts, be gentle."

On the bed, Huang Lei used a cotton swab to disinfect Li Jiayuan's forehead.

Huang Lei's powerful slap just now knocked Li Jiayuancheng's hand off the bed, causing his head to hit the corner of the bed and break the skin.

Huang Lei pressed hard on the wound, her eyes fierce, without saying a word.

Are you angry?

Li Jiayuan noticed that Huang Lei seemed to be angry, but he didn't know what was wrong with her. After all, she was the one who was injured. Why should she be angry?

This time Huang Lei disappeared for more than half a month and didn't even call. She must be in a bad mood.

Since the last time in the hospital, Huang Lei asked a question about Ruan Mei, so.! ! !

Wait, something seems wrong.

Li Jiayuan's dull brain suddenly exploded with inspiration, and he felt a little numb.

Although he is dull in terms of emotions, his IQ is not low. When he associates them with each other, the possibility comes out instantly.

Huang Lei... doesn't like me, right?
Before he traveled through time, Li Jiayuan was an ordinary social animal teacher. Even though he had held hands with girls until he was 30, no one had ever confessed their love to him. This deep-rooted idea has continued to this day.

This caused him to ignore his attractive new body.

Subconsciously, he believed that it was impossible for anyone to like him.

I selectively ignored Huang Lei's various behaviors. Now thinking back carefully, her reaction last time in the hospital was just a girl's jealousy.

I'm crazy
No way!
Li Jiayuan had a strange look in his eyes, and told himself in his heart, stay calm, you must stay calm, there are three major illusions in life.

I can get up early tomorrow.

He likes me.

I can fight back.

It is not advisable to believe in either one, so try it out first.

"Well, I'm a little sorry, but if I'm wrong, I'll apologize to you later."

After saying that, under Huang Lei's astonished gaze, Li Jiayuan held her hand and squeezed it.

Her hands were small, but very soft and smooth to the touch. You could tell at a glance that she never did any heavy work at home. It was the first time that Li Jiayuan held a girl's hand like this, and he was quite nervous inside. Perhaps because the other person was Huang Lei, this nervousness gradually turned into a feeling of security.

Huang Lei's brain was no longer able to think at this time, hands!

Her face was like an inflated balloon, the redness rapidly expanding. In shame and anger, she raised her right hand.

"Snapped"

"Finally found him. Is this guy really a lawyer?"

“It doesn’t look like that at all.”

Shan Ji saw that the office door was open, pushed it open and was surprised to see two people sitting on the sofa.

Miss Huang is here too. It’s been a while since I last saw her.

"Hey, Brother Yuan, why is the right side of your face so red?"

"I'm using the anti-cold wax. Is there something wrong?"

Huang Lei looked away guiltily, as if she wasn't listening to their conversation.

"Look, the person you asked me to find a few days ago has been found. He's already in the reception room. Do you want to bring him over?"

"what is it call?"

"Roloria."

Li Jiayuan stood up quickly and said, "LA, I finally found it."

If he couldn't find this person, he planned to use the information card to exchange for his information.

"Brother Yuan, this Luo Luo Liya doesn't look like a famous lawyer."

Shan Ji felt that what he said was conservative. Just looking at the appearance of that guy, no one would doubt that he was a migrant worker from somewhere. How could a lawyer be like that?

His shoes were drooping under his heels, his clothes were old and shabby, and he looked sloppy. He didn't look like a lawyer at all.

Li Jiayuan smiled.

"If bad guys can see this, then wouldn't there be so many bad guys in this world?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and bring the person up."

He absolutely believed in Law Tyrant's ability. He had already checked and found that the worldview in Streets of Rage was still used in the real world.

The Four Famous Lawyers are still the Four Famous Lawyers. So, in this case, the ability of Law Ba is ridiculously high. After all, he became famous at a young age and has only been in the industry for a few years.

He defeated countless veteran lawyers, and even the King lawyer, one of the four famous lawyers, was defeated by him.

If he did not interfere with the plot, the future Law Tyrant would have defeated Jiang Boqi, one of the Four Famous Lawyers, for the second time in a row.

This shows his strength.

The reason why he chose Law Ba was not only because of his ability, but more because of his character.

When he learned that he had wrongly accused the defendant due to his negligence, which led to the defendant's suicide, Law Ba, no, it was Luo Liya, fell into self-tangle.

Unable to resolve this emotional knot, Luo Liya traveled around the world for seven years before slowly letting it go.

After returning to Hong Kong, he gave up his promising career and future in Central and chose to stay in Sham Shui Po to help grassroots people fight lawsuits and defend justice.

Became a law tyrant.

What he needs is a capable and just lawyer, not a talisman for the powerful. Luo Liya is such a person.

At the same time, he is also the most capable and easiest to win over person that can be found so far.

A few minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the corridor.

Luo Liya walked into the office casually with a lazy look on his face, and Shan Ji was a little disgusted with his appearance.

Huang Lei didn't say anything. She sat next to Li Jiayuan and picked up the book on the table to read.

"LA, I have long admired your name."

Li Jiayuan stood up and extended his hand. Luo Liya wiped his hand on his clothes and said with a playful smile:
"I've been away for seven years, and I didn't expect someone would still remember me. Hello, hello."

"Please take a seat."

Luo Liya sat on the sofa.

"Wow, good tea."

"Like it? Take some back later. I have plenty here."

Luo Liya was not shy at all and was still smiling cheerfully.

"Thank you very much."

【Story Viewer】

After Li Jiayuan used the new props to scan, he made a new discovery. At this time, Luo Liya had just returned to Hong Kong after traveling for seven years.

In other words, at this time, he had not yet opened a law firm in Sham Shui Po, and had not yet become the judge and legal tyrant of the Sham Shui Po neighborhood.

A new idea suddenly came to Li Jiayuan's mind.

"I wonder if Mr. Li asked me to come here because he has a case and wants my help."

Luo Liya took a sip of her tea. "Well, a beautiful thing is a beautiful thing."

"I'm looking for you because I want you to be my company's legal advisor."

"I?"

"I read in the newspaper that Mr. Li was in his early twenties. I left Hong Kong Island seven years ago. You were probably only in your teens then. Logically, you shouldn't have known me. Why did you think of me?"

"Because... Nie Zhanxiang."

Luo Liya's playful smile instantly faded after hearing the name, and was replaced by a very complicated look. Li Jiayuan continued.

"I knew Nie Zhanxiang. When he died, I attended his memorial service, so I knew you. I also knew that after he died, you disappeared and were gone for seven years.

To be honest, I admire your character very much because you are a lawyer with a conscience. If you didn't care about Nie Zhanxiang's death, you wouldn't have been away for seven years. And your abilities are exactly what I need.

So, I want you to join my team.”

Luo Liya remained silent, pouring herself cup after cup of tea, looking completely different from her playful self just now.

Li Jiayuan continued:
"I know you may not agree to me, but I want you to listen to what I am going to say first."

"A few days ago, I was passing by Sham Shui Po and saw a group of people gathered downstairs of a company, holding banners. They were migrant workers demanding their wages. That's when I thought, why are they standing downstairs to demand their wages?

They could have applied to the Legal Aid Department and gotten their wages back through legal channels. But after learning more about it, I realized that this idea was actually too optimistic. Firstly, legal aid requires a waiting period.

Not only is it time-consuming, but the qualifications of lawyers also vary greatly. If you are lucky, the lawyer sent is reliable, and if you win the case, they can successfully get back what belongs to them. If you are unlucky, you will lose the case.

The cost of silence may continue to increase and drag on.

This is still the best case scenario, where you can get legal aid. In fact, I asked my subordinates to find out, and more people hired lawyers at their own expense.

However, due to financial reasons, the lawyers I hired were inexperienced, which led to a vicious cycle. Since then, I have been thinking how great it would be if there was a law firm that could specialize in representing the lower-class people in lawsuits.

The fees are low, the lawyers are well-qualified, and the success rate of lawsuits is high. This may help many people. Do you think I am right, LA?"

Luo Liya didn't quite understand why Li Jiayuan said this to him, but he felt that this idea was just a fairy tale.

During these seven years of travel, he traveled all over the world and in many places he visited, he witnessed the suffering and struggles of the lower classes.

He knew very well that the world in which the lower classes lived was bleak.

Even in Hong Kong Island, in Sham Shui Po, there live countless ordinary people and poor people as Li Jiayuan calls them, but what can he do?

This is not something that can be changed by one person. It is a microcosm of today's society. Every time he knows that something like this is happening, he feels distressed and painful, but he is powerless to do anything.

It is ridiculous to set up a law firm to serve the grassroots people. Most people become lawyers just for the high income.

Is it possible to ask people to give up their income to serve the lower classes?

The daily expenses required to run a law firm are not a small amount. Yes, maybe a lawyer can choose to sue the neighbors, but doing so will definitely not make any money.

How to pay rent, utilities, and staff expenses.

Luo Liya once opened a law firm in Central. He knew very well how much money was needed to employ such a legal team, so this was why he thought Li Jiayuan's idea was unrealistic.

"Lawyers are the ones who know how to avoid risks and gain advantages. No lawyer wants to do something that is thankless."

Li Jiayuan smiled slightly.

“Maybe you’re right, no lawyer wants to do something thankless, and no one wants to take so much risk of not making any money, but you’re just an individual after all, aren’t you?

Let me make this assumption: if someone is willing to give you unconditional financial support, without considering revenue, would you be willing to do it?

Huang Lei, who was beside Li Jiayuan, turned her head suddenly, and the shock that was hard to dissipate could be seen in her eyes.

This question is quite profound, and Luo Liya needs to think carefully about it. Putting aside some external factors, is he willing to be a civilian lawyer?

If it were him seven years ago, facing this kind of question, he wouldn't have to think about it at all, the answer would be no.

But over the past seven years, his thinking has become more mature, and he is no longer as arrogant and conceited as he was before.

He is well aware of the hardships faced by the grassroots people, so if there is really an opportunity, he is willing to be a civilian lawyer.

Li Jiayuan saw the nameless fire in Luo Liya's eyes. Although he didn't say it out loud, he probably understood Luo Liya's choice.

"LA, I think we are the same type of people. I want to set up a law firm of my own, specializing in representing grassroots people in lawsuits. I will be responsible for all expenses, as one person's ability is limited.

But if it's the entire company, I hope you can lead this team. I wonder if you'd like to join."

After he finished speaking, the office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Luo Liya took a deep breath to calm his inner shock.

Why do we advocate for the grassroots?

He couldn't understand that in his impression, most entrepreneurs were rich but unkind, most of them were power-hungry, and most of them were hateful.

But why is Li Jiayuan willing to do this obviously unprofitable business? He has never seen an entrepreneur like Li Jiayuan who can truly care about the suffering of the people at the bottom and is willing to make changes and help. This is too strange.

Luo Liya's values ​​underwent a baptism.

In fact, if he had carefully read Li Jiayuan's deeds, he might not have been so shocked.

"why?"

He screwed up his face and frowned, trying to get an answer.

Li Jiayuan slowly stood up and said what he had said countless times.

"Business is business, but businessmen shouldn't just focus on profit. If a businessman only sees profit, he will eventually lose his only remaining personality. Isn't it tragic for a businessman without even a personality?"

"I just don't want to be that kind of person."

[Luo Liya Loyalty +10%]

[Luo Liya Loyalty +6%]

【Luo Liya Loyalty+】

"So, you haven't answered my question yet."

No words had ever made Luo Liya feel so heavy, as if a heavy burden had been laid on her.

"I do"

"Thank you for your cooperation. I have great confidence in your abilities. I have only one condition: the firm must prioritize the company's affairs. As for the rest, I will not interfere."

"Jiayuan Property will always be your backing"

"no problem."

The establishment of this law firm is in the form of a corporate legal team. If Luo Liya does not agree to this requirement, it would be a bit too much.

After briefly finalizing the cooperation intention, Li Jiayuan asked Luo Liya to go back first and discuss the cooperation in detail tomorrow.

He also had his own considerations on this matter. Luo Liya was capable enough to set up a law firm. As long as the top combat power was strong enough, he could slowly recruit more people later.

Serving civilians not only earns system rewards, but also helps you spread your reputation, killing two birds with one stone.
