Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 329 The Interview [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

The interview location doesn't need to be arranged in any special way; an interview inside a law firm is usually fine. However, since there is no branch of Xu De Law Firm in Haicheng, a coffee shop or teahouse would also be acceptable.

But the words came back again.

They have their own strategic partners!

The next day.

September 24th, 9:30 AM.

A lavishly decorated law firm in Haicheng, Jiangpu District.

"Squeak~"

The law firm's door opened, and three figures stepped inside.

A few people were sitting in the law firm. They didn't think much of it at first, but they were stunned when they saw who it was.

Immediately afterwards, someone in the waiting area stood up and walked towards the other person with a warm expression.

"Hello, Attorney Xu. It's an honor to meet you. Yesterday, the director told me that you might come to the law firm today, and he repeatedly asked me to entertain you."

"I didn't expect you to arrive so early!"

The three people who arrived were Xu Delin, Yue Wangchao, and Wang Chao.

The lawyer who stood up from the sofa to greet them was their strategic partner in the "collaboration network," surnamed Zhao, named Zhao Chenggong.

Xu De looked around.

This is Chuangyue Law Firm, or you could say it's a branch office.

According to the cooperation, half of the law firm's office area is used by Xu De and others, which is the Houde Law Firm office area.

"You're too kind, Attorney Zhao."

Xu De looked at Attorney Zhao with a smile, and the two shook hands and began to talk.

The director of Chuangyue Law Firm was not present.

Of course, this doesn't mean the other party doesn't value it; it's just that he has a criminal case to handle today and can't spare the time, so he sent the deputy director to take over.

As for whether Zhao Chenggong is willing or not...

Judging from the gleam in their eyes, they must be happy to agree.

A little while.

"Attorney Zhao, I still have work to do. Someone is coming to see me later, so I won't chat any longer. I'd like to go and familiarize myself with the work environment first."

Xu De looked at Zhao Chenggong in front of him and said with a smile.

"You're busy, so feel free to let me know if you have any questions. I'll pass them on to the director."

As Zhao Chenggong watched the other party walk towards the Houde Law Firm's office area, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Behind them, the people from "Chuangyue Law Firm" felt a little awkward as they looked at the law firm that had been divided in two.

After Xu De passed by, he couldn't help but ask, "Attorney Zhao, who is this person?"

"Does our law firm really need a collaborative network? Judging from your accent, you're from Thanh Go province... We don't have any business in Thanh Go province."

"What was the director thinking? Isn't this just a waste of money and a loss?"

""

Zhao Chenggong, who was still immersed in joy, immediately stared at these words.

"What are you saying?!"

39

"Paying out of your own pocket? You don't know anything!"

To be honest, this collaboration is indeed a loss-making venture; the other party was right.

Chuangyue Law Firm never even considered expanding into Qingwu Province. After all, the local market is big enough. Why bother going to some remote corner?

If that's the case, then what's the point of this contract where both parties build a collaborative network?

Have!

To put it another way, it all happened in just one afternoon yesterday after the two parties finalized their cooperation!

Xu De then handed over the small business resources that he couldn't handle to Chuangyue Law Firm.

Although Xu De acted as both guarantor and intermediary, with the actual work handled by Chuangyue's people, ...

Even if Xu De takes a portion, Chuang Yue will still make a profit, and compared to the previous hard-working operations, it can be considered a feast!

Although it's a bit like being someone's dog, I still eagerly do it.

Can..

"Let me tell you, other law firms wouldn't even have the chance to be treated like dogs!"

Zhao Chenggong's refusal to reply demonstrates his ideological awareness.

The lawyers from Chuangyue Law Firm behind them exchanged glances, and after a long pause, one of them hesitated and said, "But... isn't this a bit... embarrassing?"

Zhao Chenggong asked with great dissatisfaction, "Do you want money or not?"

"Yes!" the people behind him said instinctively.

"That's settled then. Why worry about saving face when there's money to be made?" Zhao Chenggong replied.

Upon hearing this, the group suddenly realized what was going on.

Yes.

Although it is said that a man's knees are worth gold.

But this is just a metaphor.

Xu De, on the other hand, really gave him gold!

Those resources that are looked down upon are highly sought after in this small law firm of 13 lawyers; just a few of them would be enough to make them incredibly wealthy!

The staff at Chuangyue Law Firm were quickly convinced by this idea, and everyone felt that they had a bright future.

And at that very moment.

A knock suddenly sounded on the door.

"Knock knock knock~"

Zhao Chenggong turned his head to look at the main entrance, only to see two figures, one old and one young, standing at the door looking somewhat strapped for cash, watching them.

These two...

who is it?

Zhao Chenggong was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

The two were an older man and a younger man. The older man was about sixty years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes, thin and bony, with wrinkles on his face.

The child... should be eight or nine years old, a little boy, with dark skin from the sun, short hair, and a hint of timidity in his eyes.

"Who are you two...?" Zhao Chenggong hesitated for a moment, then put aside his thoughts and approached the two.

"I...I'm here to see a lawyer," the old man said somewhat vaguely.

Should I hire a lawyer?

Zhao Chenggong paused slightly, and Xu De's image subconsciously came to mind.

The other party had just said that someone would contact him later...

Yes, the people involved in the shooting, it seems, were an elderly person and a ten-year-old child; these should be the two of them.

Attorney Zhao smiled as he thought of this.

He turned to the left of the law firm, looking at the specially prepared "Houde Law Firm," and said, "Attorney Xu is over there. Just go over there and knock on the door."

The old man paused slightly, somewhat puzzled, then, seeing the genuine look in the other person's eyes, tentatively led the child in that direction.

Seeing that the other party did not object, he opened the door.

However, as he opened the door, he began to mutter to himself.

"Who is Attorney Xu?"

"Tsk, it seems like Chuangyue is genuinely interested in collaborating."

"I just checked, and the office supplies in the Chuangyue office area are a bit worn out, but ours are all brand new... It looks like Director Yang bought them yesterday."

""

"Houde District," Lin Yue said, looking at the surrounding office area with a sigh.

Xu De nodded in agreement.

And at that very moment.

"Knock knock knock~"

There was a knock on the door behind him. Xu De turned around and paused. The job list that Lin Yue had shown him subconsciously came to mind.

Immediately afterwards, he became serious, sat down in the waiting area, and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

next second.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

A somewhat gaunt figure came into view, with a shy child behind him.

This is...

Hmm? The interviewee?

"You...you are Zhang Sheng?"

Xu De was slightly taken aback. He glanced at Lin Yue and saw that she was also puzzled. He couldn't help but probe.

Houde Law Firm hasn't opened yet, so currently, besides interviewers and companies contacting me, theoretically no one knows I'm here...

"Zhang Sheng?"

The old man looked puzzled and a little embarrassed. After a moment of hesitation, he finally said, "I...I'm here to see a lawyer."

Looking for a lawyer?

Xu De was taken aback.

Lin Yue, standing beside him, paused for a moment, then whispered, "It should be a client... but you told Attorney Zhao someone was looking for you, so you might have gotten confused..."

'

Xu De pondered for a moment, then nodded. That should be it.

He immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we're not open to the public at the moment."

The old man in front of him seemed flustered and turned to leave upon hearing the sound.

However, Xu De looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and then said, "However, if it's not too much trouble, I can have a chat with you."

"What do you want to do with the lawyer?"

Upon hearing this...

The elderly Wu Jianjiang breathed a sigh of relief as Xu De guided him to sit on the sofa.

Once seated on the sofa, he felt somewhat uneasy, but he reassured the child who was also sitting on the sofa.

He then twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, and said, "I want to investigate someone."

Looking for someone?

Although some lawyers do take on detective work, Xu De does not.

"It's illegal to investigate people privately. If you want to investigate someone, you have to..." Lin Yue shook her head, not giving any grand explanations, but speaking simply and directly.

Upon hearing this...

The old man said anxiously, "No, I'm not checking anyone else... it's my daughter-in-law."

Investigating the daughter-in-law?

"This... your daughter-in-law cheated on you?" Lin Yue asked in surprise.

"No, no!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jianjiang was at a loss for words. After a moment, he pointed to the eight- or nine-year-old child and said, "This is my grandson."

He paused, then added, "His...his grandfather is dead."

Grandpa...Grandpa is dead?

Xu De was stunned. He looked at the old man in front of him, wondering if the other man was cursing him or saying something else.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. As the old man got older, his logic in speaking became somewhat problematic, so he just needed to wait patiently.

A little while.

Xu De finally understood the relationship between the old man and the young man.

You mean...

"The child's father died in a river years ago, and his daughter-in-law works in Haicheng."

"Later, the daughter-in-law remarried, but the child was still taken care of by the grandfather. However, not long ago, the child's grandfather got sick and died, leaving the child alone in the village."

"And the village can't contact the child's mother."

"So, you, his godfather, came to take him to the city to find someone?"

Xu De spoke thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this...

The old man nodded repeatedly and stammered, "Yes."

The child beside her sat motionless on the sofa, looking down at the sandals he had worn for many years.

Xu De seemed to be deep in thought.

So this isn't about hiring a detective to catch someone cheating.

Instead, it's about left-behind children searching for their families.

It's not that this is impossible to do, but...

"Is the child's mother in Jiangpu District?" Xu De asked.

The old man quickly replied, "The village said this is where the child's mother transferred money to the child."

Lin Yue was surprised. "You don't know where you live?"

The old man shook his head.

"Who knew? It's been so many years... I haven't seen him for seven or eight years. I have no idea where he lives."

I don't know where they live...

After thinking it over, Xu Desi finally said, "You can just contact the local police. They can find out about this by checking the household registration."

The child's biological mother cannot be found.

However, the child's identity is perfectly clear, and the police can easily find the mother's information with a little investigation.

Upon hearing this...

The old man thanked him repeatedly, then took a piece of cloth from his pocket, carefully unwrapped it to reveal a pile of crumpled coins, and said, "How much is this? I..."

""

Before he could finish speaking, Xu De shook his head.

"This doesn't count as a consultation, so I won't charge you."

"Th...thank you."

The old man was a little embarrassed. After thanking him, he carefully wrapped up the cloth bag, put away the money, and left.

A moment later, the two figures disappeared.

"Can't find her biological mother...tsk, that's really strange." Lin Yue clicked her tongue in amazement. "I just don't know if they'll ever find her."

"If we can't find it... hehe, we might have to come back to Attorney Xu."

In 2003, the police's internal system was not perfect, and the other party might not be able to find it.

but..

"Think of something good with your little brain!"

Xu De tapped her on the head, and Lin Yue stuck out her tongue, but she wasn't angry.

However, she wasn't cursing the grandfather and grandson.

The other person seemed to be a newcomer to the big city from a small town, as did I.

so..

Those words were, to some extent, an attempt to get Xu De's help.

What if?

What if the other party runs into trouble later?

Of course, it's best to avoid trouble altogether!

As the two pondered this, they suddenly became lost in thought.

at this time.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was another knock on the door!

Xu De subconsciously said, "If you go to the police station..."

'

A young man in a suit walked in through the door.

Upon hearing this, the other person was stunned: "What police station?"

Xu De paused, looked up, and then realized that the person who came was a young lawyer, not an old man and a young man who had returned.

The other party is...

"Hello, are you here for an interview at Houde Law Firm?"

The young man in front of him, though somewhat curious, nodded. "Yes, my name is Zhang Qi. I previously worked for your institute..."

""

Zhang Qi.....

This was one of the interviewees!

Xu De understood immediately, sat up straight, and smiled at the other person, saying, "Hello, my name is Xu De."

"He is the director of Houde Law Firm, and also... your interviewer."

"Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Ding Yan is a lawyer, a senior lawyer at Hong Lang Law Firm, which ranks in the middle of the "Top 100 Law Firms in Dongguo".

Furthermore, he is not simply a seasoned lawyer.

If we're just talking about ability... in the entire city of Haicheng, there might not even be some top lawyers who can compare to him.

This ability naturally delighted the Honglang Law Firm.

So, Honglang Law Firm decisively poached them, but strangely enough, the previous law firm didn't object and poached them right away. But since they were already here, there wasn't much to say.

then.

Hong Lang began investing in Ding Yan!

after that.

Hong Lang fell into self-doubt.

finally.

Hong Lang felt he had been deceived!

A senior lawyer who can rival a top-tier lawyer sounds great, but think about it the other way around... if the other party can rival him, why isn't he a top-tier lawyer?

Honglang Law Firm got the answer.

Ding Yan is too steady... He's ridiculously steady!

The Ninth Hospital originally intended to have Ding Yan go there to make a name for himself and attract some people, but Ding Yan ran away halfway through.

In the case of Kiyama, a top lawyer was assigned to handle the case closely, but the other party ran away even faster.

The shooting case was overseen by Du Teng Wang Yan!

If a senior partner from a top firm becomes your teammate, and the case generates tremendous public attention, then even a complete idiot would become a top lawyer, right?

But it's obvious.

Ding Yan is a master at running away; even Du Teng couldn't stop him.

At this point, Honglang Law Firm understood one thing deeply.

You get what you pay for!

As for why he ran...

Naturally, Ding Yan saw some bad people in these cases and had no choice but to flee!

But to be honest.

After running for a long time, Ding Yan would occasionally get angry.

Did I have a grudge against this person? Why is this person chasing me?

And so.

Ding Yan decided to launch his counterattack. He felt that as long as his plan succeeded... then he could stand tall and look the other person in the eye when they met in the future, and the other person would be unable to harm him!

and so.

"Ding Yan? Your name is Ding Yan?"

Noon.

Houde Law Firm.

Xu De sat in his office, looking at the interviewee in front of him, and tilted his head.

Ding Yan, a senior lawyer in Haicheng, sat calmly at the table, looking at Xu De and nodding seriously.

"Yes, my name is Ding Yan!"

"Interviewer, what's wrong?"

Xu De looked at the thin lawyer in front of him, then at the name on the resume, and even vaguely felt that the other party looked somewhat familiar.

After a long while.

"Attorney Ding, you look somewhat familiar to me."

"we..

'

As he spoke, Xu De paused slightly, then narrowed his eyes and tentatively asked, "Have we seen you somewhere before?"

Upon hearing this...

Ding Yan remained expressionless, lost in thought.

He was thinking about how he could get away with it.

"Attorney Ding? Attorney Ding, please say something."

P.S.: I lost track of time today while brainstorming new ideas.
