Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Director Han understood.

The other party's words were clearly loaded with hidden meaning and had a specific purpose.

"What aspects of the institute are you not satisfied with?" Director Han asked immediately, his tone somewhat anxious.

He was very satisfied with the other party; they were young, capable, and had a good character. If they were to leave the firm for some reason... then the problem must have originated within the firm!

Thinking of this.

Director Han frowned, looked up and scanned the surrounding hall, his gaze sweeping over each person.

Finally, he looked at Xu De again.

"Are you dissatisfied...?"

Xu De paused.

During his three months at Jinmao Law Firm, he only received 3,700 yuan. Even then, it was only 3,700 yuan, despite Zhang Hu, a divorce counselor, coming to him multiple times.

His income is considered very good among migrant workers, but he is a lawyer who has no family to support him and relies entirely on his own personal lawyer skills!

After deducting rent, utilities, commuting expenses... if Lin Yue hadn't reimbursed him for the expenses in Lijia Village, he would have had to move and find someone to share the place!

Immediately.

Xu De smiled and said in a mocking tone:

"Director Han, I'm sorry, but as you know, I have no parents or relatives, and I really don't have the money to go to work."

"I had no choice but to leave the facility and find somewhere to earn money, otherwise... I'm afraid I'll starve to death."

No money to work?

What does this mean?!

The advanced rhetoric left Director Han momentarily stunned.

But he was intelligent enough to understand the meaning of those words instantly.

Immediately, Director Han frowned and said in a deep voice:

"impossible!"

"Although our firm is a boutique firm, we never abuse our power. The commission rates we give our lawyers are higher than the market average. If someone takes on a case, we can earn the equivalent of five cases' worth of fees for just four cases!"

"Xiao Xu, did the finance department withhold your commission fee?"

In Green Forest City, the only boutique law firm is Jinmao Law Firm.

But that doesn't mean there aren't other big law firms. Those people are always trying to poach their top lawyers. If it weren't for Director Han's advantage in terms of shares and profit-sharing agreements, those people would have left long ago...

"Director Han, my payment has been settled."

Xu De maintained his faint smile as he pulled an account book from his bag.

"This is my ledger of all the financial transactions during my three months at the law firm. Please check it against the firm's accounts. If there are no problems, I will not be renewing my contract."

Cash flow statements?

Director Han frowned, reached out and took it, instinctively opening it, and in that instant...

He was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him in astonishment.

Is the ledger too cumbersome? No, quite the opposite.

The record is so clean, with only a few lines of text, that it can be read at a glance!

"Three thousand seven?!"

Director Han was shocked. He looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"This... Attorney Xu, how come you've only taken on four cases in three months? And only three of them are consultations? The only court hearing was the Lijiacun case!"

A salary of 3,700 isn't low, but...

Lawyers have to spend money on cases when they litigate!

Especially in the Lijiacun case, Xu De's commission fee was only two hundred, which was given by the organization, but he put money into it... The transportation alone cost more than two hundred!

This doesn't even include rent and food. So, it seems that their claim of "not having enough money to work" isn't an exaggeration!

"What...what's going on?"

"What about the two thousand in prize money!?"

Director Han was shocked, but also a little suspicious.

Xu De was slightly taken aback. "What bonus?"

"I will give you an extra 700 yuan in support benefits every month," Director Han said.

This money wasn't recorded in the company's accounts; it was his personal property, and Sun Hao transferred it on his behalf.

Xu De smiled, shook his head, and said:

"At least, I've never seen this seven hundred yuan before."

"Director Han, it seems that your firm is indeed not a good fit for me. If there are no other objections... then I will unilaterally terminate the contract."

Upon hearing this, Director Han's face flushed slightly. He opened his mouth, but hesitated for a long time before speaking.

It's obvious that the law firm couldn't retain the other party, and someone within the firm... was targeting them without the firm's knowledge.

a long time.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger towards the law firm, and shifted his focus to the other party.

"Attorney Xu, after you leave, are you... planning to start your own business?"

The other party is young and capable; there's no reason for them to submit to someone else after leaving the law firm.

Xu De knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he nodded on the spot.

Director Han pondered for a moment, then spoke:

"Well, Attorney Xu, you're young, so you might not have any savings."

"I'll personally invest 200,000 yuan in cash with you, and you can also choose any top lawyer from the firm to take with you. I'll also share some case leads with you later..."

200,000, top-notch lawyers, case sources.

Any one of these three is incredibly tempting!

Especially top lawyers, they are like walking wallets, and no one knows how many resources they have. In particular, their abilities are enough to revitalize a law firm.

Director Han felt that since they couldn't keep the other party, they could at least try to win them over by showing goodwill and investing in them.

It's always better to have many friends than to force someone to stay, which could lead to a lose-lose situation.

But unfortunately...

"Director Han, you don't need to worry about that."

Xu De smiled, and without waiting for the other party to say anything, he immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Feed? Is this Boss Zhang Hu...?"

......

"Haha, it's me, it's me. Don't worry, Attorney Xu, I've taken care of that case. Now..."

"Hmm...hmm? You terminated your contract with the law firm? How about coming to my company...okay, you started your own law firm, right?"

"Attorney Xu, are you short of money? I can invest 400,000 yuan in you. If you're short of cases, I... I'm not short of any? Okay, okay, I'll pay you a visit another day!"

Green Forest City.

A construction site where factory sheds are being built.

Zhang Hu, wearing a white safety helmet, stood in the open air and hung up the phone in his hand.

Upon seeing this, a dark-skinned man who was about 1.7 meters tall and shorter than him approached.

"What? Four hundred thousand? Old Zhang, you have another order?" Sun Zhigang asked.

"No, it's that lawyer I knew before. Let me tell you, my assessment of him is... he's no ordinary person!" Zhang Hu said.

"Hey, four hundred thousand? You didn't even blink?!" Sun Zhigang exclaimed in surprise.

"Four hundred thousand is nothing!"

Zhang Hu was somewhat emotional; he was willing to cultivate a good relationship with Xu De, even if it cost a lot of money.

But it was absolutely worth the money!

Unfortunately, they didn't want it... They wouldn't even take money for free, so I could only try to build a good relationship through a commission.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Sun Zhigang beside him.

"Old Sun, how about I introduce you to this lawyer?"

Upon hearing this...

Sun Zhigang laughed gruffly.

"Come on, I work on construction sites. I only need a lawyer when something goes wrong on a construction site."

"You little brat, you don't wish me any better!"

He and Zhang Hu were childhood friends, but with the help of his family, Zhang Hu started a company after college, while he chose to work on construction sites after graduating from junior high school.

Standing at 1.7 meters tall and weighing over 200 kilograms, he was overweight, with dark and rough skin, a typical middle-aged roughneck, and not good-looking at all.

After working for so many years, he has actually established himself in Green Forest City and started a company that is even bigger than Zhang Hu's!

However, this also gave him the air of a nouveau riche landlord.

"Hey, you're ungrateful for my kindness."

The two joked.

And it was at this moment...

"Thump!"

In a daze, a voice startled me awake.

Sun Zhi frowned, turned his head to look around, and then walked towards the source of the sound, where several figures had gathered.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Sun Zhigang forcefully pushed his way through the crowd.

Immediately, a plump woman collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Beside her was a tricycle, the cement that had been inside spilling all over the ground.

The woman was about forty years old, of average appearance, with graying hair, about 1.57 meters tall, and overweight. She had the air of a peasant woman, wearing a worker's camouflage uniform, covered in cement slag, and with calluses on her hands.

If you look closely, you can see that the position of one of her legs is a bit strange, and she is obviously limping.

Seeing this, Sun Zhigang's face immediately showed anger.

"Crippled man, how many times has this happened this month!?"

"How come you can't even push a delivery cart properly? Are you deliberately trying to frustrate me?!"

He showed no mercy, angrily berating everyone around him.

"Is your back injury acting up again? What's wrong with taking two weeks off to get it treated?! You're going to pay me back for delaying my business!"

Upon hearing this...

Zhao Li's sunburnt, peeling face was filled with panic. After getting up, she forced a cautious, restrained smile and said:

"Foreman, my child is a senior in high school and will be taking exams next year. I'd like to buy him an air conditioner so he won't be cold while doing homework in the winter or too hot in the summer..."

air conditioner?

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhigang's anger intensified, and he pointed at her nose and cursed.

"You son of a bitch!"

"You need air conditioning to do your homework? Forget it, just burn some coal..."

Zhao Li shrank back, a middle-aged woman in her forties, being surrounded and verbally abused by a crowd.

a long time.

Sun Zhigang looked around at the people and angrily shouted, "Get lost! What are you looking at? Have you finished your work?!"

"They're all so cunning and deceitful!"

The crowd dispersed, leaving only Zhao Li behind.

"You get out of here too, are you just going to stand here and wait to die?!"

Sun Zhigang looked at Zhao Li, spitting all over the floor.

Zhao Li opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. She could only lower her head and walk out of the construction site with a limp.

But after taking only a couple of steps, he heard a sound behind him again.

"Is your brain made of shit?!"

Looking back.

Then she saw Sun Zhigang's anger deepen, his chest heaving as he glared at her, cursing and swearing:

"Where are you going? Go find Engineer Liu and have him arrange for you to do site cleaning; you'll still get paid."

"Damn, that's so stupid."

Upon hearing this...

Zhao Li was slightly taken aback, but hope surged within her again. She forced an awkward, cautious smile through the wrinkles on her face and hurriedly replied:

"Okay, okay, I'll go do it, I'll go..."

As she spoke, she began to stagger and wander off to find someone.

but......

"Did I fucking tell you to go now?!"

Sun Zhigang roared in anger again.

He immediately showed a reluctant expression on his face, and at the same time pulled his wallet out of his pocket.

"Sizzle!"

The wallet zipper was pulled open, revealing some money.

Sun Zhigang glanced at her, then reluctantly pulled out several large bills from inside and threw them at her.

"You'll be paid for today's work as if you had full attendance."

"The rest of the money is my worst luck, something I owed you in my past life. Take it to get rid of your broken back, and don't blame my construction site if something happens to you!"

"If this happens again... I'll fucking parade you around on a crane!"

Zhao Li gave an awkward smile, her dark, rough face covered in corrosive cement, making her look quite reserved.

She didn't say anything, squatted down to pick up the money, then looked at Sun Zhigang and whispered "thank you," before limping away, leaving behind only her 1.57-meter-tall, bulky back.

Sun Zhigang took a deep breath and looked back.

Then he saw Zhang Hu sitting in the shadows, looking at him with a half-smile.

See here.

Sun Zhigang walked towards him, cursing as he went:

"These damn brain-dead idiots, they won't do anything without being yelled at..."

And Zhao Li...

Zhao Li didn't take the money to the hospital. She hesitated for a moment, then went to a roadside clinic and bought some plasters to apply to her waist.

Then I went to the market and bought some beef ribs. When I got back to my front door, it opened with a thud.

"Squeak~"

The door opened, revealing a simple two-bedroom rental room, which was somewhat cluttered inside.

In the cramped living room, a slender girl, about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a school uniform, appeared before them.

The girl had delicate features, but exuded a sense of aloofness. She kept her head down, her short hair covering her face, and seemed very quiet and reserved.

Noticing the sound, she looked up and was about to say something.

But the next second...

"Lele, isn't it a coincidence? The foreman gave Mom extra wages today, and you just happened to be home from school today."

A hint of tenderness unconsciously appeared on Zhao Li's originally reserved face.

Her bulky body limped as she carried a plastic bag toward the kitchen, saying as she went:

"You and your brother have pork ribs today, eat more to grow strong. Later, Mom will buy you an air conditioner so you won't have to suffer like Mom after the college entrance exam..."

I watched her back as she walked away.

Yang Jiale, who was about to say something, moved her lips for a moment, but finally lowered her head and fell silent.

at the same time.

......

......

Torch Road, Jinmao Law Firm.

"Beep beep beep~"

Xu De hung up the phone, looked up at Director Han in front of him, and smiled:

"Look, Director, you don't need to worry about the registered capital. You're overthinking it..."

"I have plenty of funds."
