Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"Thanks for the 5 coins?"

"What the heck? How did I suddenly get 5 extra coins?!"

Xu De was startled and even forgot to eat.

You know, 5 thank-you coins... to be honest, if 5 yuan could buy 5 points, Xu De would definitely be happy to pay for it!

This is enough to show how valuable this thing is.

Putting aside everything else.

First, let's talk about skills. Just take the skill "Chef". Xu De's current Chef level is "lv2". What are the effects?

The top chef at the city's most popular restaurant!

Yes.

It's hard to believe that a mere level 2 chef has reached this level.

What about level 3? Xu De believes that it might just become the pinnacle of a certain province!

Upgrading only requires 20 thank-you coins... If you were given 1 thank-you coins at 20 each, would you upgrade? Honestly, absolutely! After all, a chef level 3 can earn that much money in no time!

Let alone 1 yuan a piece, even if it were 10 yuan a piece, it would definitely not be a loss!

only......

"You got it just like that!?"

"What's going on?"

Xu De looked surprised and frowned at the skill "Minecraft".

You should know that normally it would take him a month to process a civil lawsuit that goes to court, and he would only get 10 coins after it was all over.

So, he didn't do anything, just ate there, and they still gave him money?

A thought struck him, and after a thorough investigation, the light blue panel in front of him changed its display.

Houde Law Firm completed 2 civil lawsuits, and the clients expressed high satisfaction, earning 5 thank-you coins.

Xu De paused slightly, then a look of surprise appeared on his face after he understood.

"Could it be that the law firm completed its task, and the experience gained was passed on to me?"

I usually acquire skills by completing tasks and then receiving a reward.

However, the rest of the law firm, after taking on the tasks, were unable to get any feedback back to themselves.

This is why Xu De's skill upgrades have always been very slow.

no way.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about 2003.

Xu Denian took on the "Ninth Hospital Case" at the beginning of the year, and then immediately followed up with the "Veterinary Drug Case." After completing the veterinary drug case, he took on the current "Mushan Case."

All in all, they only managed to complete two major cases and one minor case.

Even so, it took a full eight months because they were all criminal cases, and not many of the thank-you coins were lost.

Without thank-you coins, you can't upgrade.

I can't exactly take on civil cases myself, can I?

This is a complete waste of talent, like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!

So, I've been running out of thank-you coins, and it's been stuck like this ever since...

"If everyone completes two extremely satisfactory tasks, then I will receive 5 thank-you coins."

"What if it's 20? Would it be 50 thank-you coins!?"

"If it starts at 200, wouldn't that be 500?!"

Upon reflection, Xu De felt a surge of excitement within him, even his breathing became somewhat anxious.

At the same time, he fell into deep thought.

The law firm currently has more than 30 employees.

From the data...

If all thirty people take on civil cases, and each person completes one extremely satisfactory case per month, then theoretically, one can earn 75 thank-you coins.

These 75 coins are more than enough to max out a single skill!

For example, if a chef could reach Chef Level 5!... Xu De thought that whatever he said in the future, Lin Yue, that glutton, would definitely do it.

And this is only after one month. If I could max out the "unity of knowledge and action" skill... then when facing Yan Mi, I could completely overpower him!

"No, that's too idealistic."

Xu De paused slightly, and in a daze, a thought struck him, and he clicked on the brand-new interface on the panel again.

My World: Houde Law Firm

[Top Lawyers: Qian Hao, Lin Yue]

[Senior practicing lawyers: Lu Jinshan, Wu Xin, Zhang Qian, Li Jian, Liu Genshui, Yang Bing, Wang Chao]

[Regular Lawyer: x5]

[Intern Lawyer: x24]

[Law Firm Size: Good] [Law Firm Resources: Excellent] [Law Firm Quality: Good]

[Law Firm's Limits: Perfect!]

[Overall Ranking: Dongguo 289th]

This is......

A new panel brought by skills!?

Xu De looked slightly surprised, frowned, and fell into thought.

This skill is indeed very powerful. On paper, the number of cases the law firm generates in a month is enough to upgrade this skill to almost its maximum level.

But the words came back again.

It's just theory!

"There are too few people."

"Even the most satisfying civil cases should be handled by at least a senior practicing lawyer."

"Currently, the senior lawyers are Lu Jinshan's team, Wu Xin and two others, and Wang Chaolin and Yue."

"I need to take at least two people out of my job to handle criminal cases, leaving the firm with only five senior lawyers... We can't have all five senior lawyers handling civil cases, each taking on five or six cases a month, can we?"

This is not appropriate.

Once someone joins a law firm, the firm is obligated to ensure their livelihood.

As senior lawyers, they need to dedicate most of their time to financial and criminal cases, so it's impossible for everyone to focus solely on civil litigation.

As for those trainee lawyers?

It's not that we can't produce extremely satisfactory cases, but the probability is very small!

"We still lack manpower and reputation!"

Xu De figured out the answer, and was somewhat taken aback by the overall evaluation of the law firm.

"If only we could be like Jin Jun Law Firm..."

He couldn't help but think of Jin Jun, the top lawyer at Dongguo Law Firm, who was a senior partner at Wangcheng Law Firm...

Jin Jun Law Firm has at least several thousand lawyers, with top-tier and senior lawyers of extremely high quality...

If I could manage to run it to that level... I could probably earn hundreds of gratitude coins a day, and max out a small skill every day!?

"Alas, the task ahead is arduous and the road is long."

Xu De shook his head, but he wasn't discouraged. He simply put the panel away.

Of course, apart from that, the data presented on the panel did not fail to surprise Xu De.

First is Wang Chao.

This kid was actually categorized as a senior lawyer!

To be honest, he even wanted to refresh the system to see if it had been categorized incorrectly...

Secondly, there's the top-tier staff of the law firm.

"The law firm's top tier is actually the highest level of 'perfect,' and this size would rank it 289th."

"Qian Hao's support?"

Xu De frowned, lost in thought.

Houde Law Firm currently only has one top-tier member, Lu Jinshan, whose talent has been stolen.

But I never expected that Qian Hao was hiding there!

Lin Yue's words were not unexpected to him. The other party's legal reasoning ability in civil procedure and finance was actually beyond the standard, but it was not very useful in criminal cases, which require a clear line of reasoning.

If she returns to her comfort zone, she will show others what it means for a college graduate to have such a superior advantage.

But Qian Hao is different.

"This kid..."

Xu De lowered his head, his expression gradually becoming somewhat strange.

"Is this kid just slacking off all this time?!"

Qian Hao actually managed to get a gold medal!?

But here's the problem: which top lawyer spends their days idly drinking coffee or slacking off? At least half the coffee in a law firm is drunk by the other party!

Even so, he still spends every day comparing this person to an ape and that person to a primitive man.

"How can I waste my precious youth slacking off every day?!"

Xu De's teeth were itchy, and he was quite dissatisfied.

Now that you've joined this law firm, you should quickly transform into a beast of burden to handle cases and bring benefits to society!

He was thinking the truth in his heart.

only.

Beside him.

Lin Yue watched as his face changed like a non-genetic "face-changing" expression, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling.

A look of surprise crossed her face.

"I hope he doesn't get so angry just because I said a few words to him!"

Thinking this through, she tentatively asked:

"Xu De? Xu childish ghost?"

"Uh-huh?"

Xu De snapped out of his daze, put the panel away, and looked at Lin Yue in front of him with suspicion on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that seeing you smile one minute and frown the next is kind of creepy," Lin Yue said truthfully.

"Oh, that... I was thinking about the law firm's current development plan."

Xu De composed himself, coughed lightly, and said:

"What do you think of the law firm right now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue pressed her chopsticks against her lips, her eyebrows furrowing.

The law firm is developing...very fast!

To be honest, it's really fast. In just one year, they've managed to open a medium-sized business with a steady stream of cases. They've even established a partnership with a pharmaceutical company in Wutong City. And once that drug called "Punatinib" is successfully developed... the profits are likely to be astronomical!

What law firms are currently lacking is...

"A...talented person!"

"And even greater fame!"

Lin Yue gave her answer, her face showing a solemn expression.

Xu De paused slightly.

The other person gave the same answer as me.

As for the reason...

"The law firm doesn't have any weaknesses now. It has no shortage of resources and top lawyers, but it lacks a lot of top lawyers who bring their own resources."

"We currently have a large number of cases, but only top-tier lawyers can effectively convert these cases into positive word-of-mouth and enhance the firm's reputation."

"Without these people, our reputation will be wasted... unless we can achieve even greater fame, attracting not only clients but also lawyers!"

"In addition, the percentage of lawyers represented in Haicheng's 'Hurun Top 100 Lawyers in China' list is also very high!"

Lin Yue provided an objective analysis from multiple perspectives.

For law firms

A large number of people means big, big means strong, and strong is like a dump truck, capable of crushing any enemy that blocks its way.

Houde Law Firm currently enjoys a high reputation, and with a high reputation comes a lot of cases.

But at the very least, you need someone to solve the case, right?

It's important to understand that Lu Jinshan's team has gone to extremes, but even so, it's still a drop in the bucket compared to the caseload that's draining the entire law firm's resources.

Nobody has time to take on all the overflowing cases.

Then, these cases will be divided up among the other law firms.

You know, some cases are as easy as picking up money. It's heartbreaking to see other law firms handle these kinds of cases!

Not finding it yourself = losing money!

"If we can't recruit anyone... to be honest, if this continues, the law firm's development will eventually run out of reputation and fall into a very stagnant state."

Lin Yue told the truth.

Fame requires criminal cases, but criminal cases... to be honest, there are many criminal cases, and many famous ones.

However, Xu De might not be able to take on these cases.

Furthermore, even if he receives the call, he might not be able to win!

As for the short term...

What's the current situation in Yanzhou City?

Xu De stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

"Yanzhou City?"

"The public opinion is currently fermenting..." Lin Yue was still thinking about something.

only......

"Heh heh, reputation... To become famous in the legal world, you have to beat your opponents and make a name for yourself by stepping on their heads."

A slightly hoarse voice sounded beside me.

Xu Delin paused and turned to look.

next second.

Then the abbot of the Taoist temple, the old man Chen Jingshan, who could also be called the temple head, spoke.

Xu De had not seen the other party for three months, but he had not forgotten him.

Hearing the other person speak.

Xu De quickly replied, "The case in Yanzhou City is being handled by a top lawyer from Honglang Law Firm... who is also a top lawyer at Dongguo Law Firm."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jingshan shook his head vaguely, "Honglang Law Firm...is not enough."

not enough?

Before Xu Delin could ask a question, he spoke up:

"Any one of these is enough: either a near-red circle member, someone with a background in a state-owned enterprise, a red circle member, or someone with foreign investment involved."

"Hong Lang has a big reputation, but it's not big enough."

A near-red circle member? Or perhaps they have connections to a state-owned enterprise or even an international law firm?

Xu De paused slightly, his brows furrowing.

To be honest, it's not really necessary. Being able to defeat Hong Lang would be attractive enough, but this old man in front of me has a bit too high a standard.

Xu De guessed that the other party's position before retirement was most likely...at the provincial level?

I just don't know which seat I'm in.

He was pondering when a single sentence suddenly pulled him back to reality.

"As for the reputation of the Yanzhou case... it doesn't have much of a problem spreading in Haiyun Province."

"But if we want to expand our influence, that will be difficult."

Chen Jingshan shook his head.

Xu De paused slightly, his brows furrowing as he asked in confusion, "Why? Yan Mi is a lawyer from Haicheng. His crushing defeat should have been noticed by the legal community in Haicheng."

The defeat was truly devastating; it wasn't just a single case that was lost.

First, his reputation was ruined in Hai Van province, and second, he was arrested.

He's still being held in custody. They might find some evidence and imprison him, then revoke his license!

only......

"Heh heh, I'm not saying there aren't enough cases."

"But... there was also a case in Haicheng, and you were just unlucky enough to run into it."

Chen Jingshan's voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't make it difficult to hear clearly.

"That case... has spread throughout Haicheng. It involves a team composed of three near-red circle law firms and a law firm with state-owned enterprise backing."

"Some of the top-tier lawyers also handle certain consultations... Hmm, the Hung Lang Law Firm you mentioned is one of them, but they don't have much work."

A team comprised of three near-red circle members and backed by a state-owned enterprise!?

In an instant.

Xu De's face showed a hint of surprise.

Although Honglang Law Firm is strong, it still lags behind top-tier and near-red circle law firms.

The scale and configuration that Chen Jingshan mentioned is remarkable; just getting them all together is no easy feat!

What kind of case is this?

No wonder... no wonder they said that the case in Yanzhou City didn't make a name for itself in Haicheng; they were just unlucky.

"What? You want to take it?"

Chen Jingshan seemed to see through his thoughts and asked with a chuckle.

Xu De pondered for a moment, a smile appearing on his face. He shifted his position closer to the other person and said:

"Hey, how could a junior lawyer like me handle something this big?"

Are you not going to answer?

Chen Jingshan looked at him, a hint of doubt appearing on his aged face.

He felt that the other person might have changed their personality today.

But the next second...

"but!"

Xu De suddenly changed the subject and opened his mouth again with a chuckle.

"Shouldn't it be alright to learn about the details of the case?"

Three near-red circle firms, a top-tier large law firm, and even a red circle firm were consulted by them on this case...

What the hell is that?

Lin Yue, who was standing to the side, put down the porridge she was holding and nodded her head repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

"Let me know, let me know!"
