Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

What is the price? Or, what does Yang Guotao want?

He doesn't want anything.

Or rather... Yang Guotao just wants one opportunity to personally make some 'contributions' to Xu De!

For Xu De, it was a risk-free business, and he made a fortune!

"Brother Yang, if that's the case... then I'll have to trouble you!" Xu De said without any pretense.

Upon seeing this, Yang Guotao's face broke into a genuine smile, and he repeatedly said:

"No trouble at all!"

"No, it should be... just let me know if you get any trouble!"

That's what he said, and that's what he thought.

He's really had enough of being a deputy director and genuinely wants a promotion!

But there's nothing that can be done; the legal environment in Green Forest City is what it is...

To be honest, the smaller the city, the more "rigid" the judicial environment is, and the courts and procuratorates dare not take the initiative to break the existing environment.

For example, in the case of Lijiacun, the Intermediate Court did not dare to acquit the defendant; they wanted to be more conservative!

But laws always need to move forward. How can the environment be good if they are so conservative?

No, if the environment is bad, the importance of lawyers will drop sharply, and criminal cases will see the phenomenon of "you argue your case, I'll judge my case," almost becoming a one-man show.

In this way, there will be no major errors overall.

But then a problem arises.

What about public opinion?!

How then is the role of a lawyer demonstrated?

If the public opinion surrounding the former is negative, Yang Guotao of the Justice Bureau will be blamed and criticized.

The latter is even more fatal.

The Bureau of Justice is in charge of lawyers. If lawyers have absolutely no say in court and can't demonstrate any influence, how can the Bureau of Justice possibly achieve any merit?

Thus, a negative cycle ensued, and Yang Guotao remained in that position year after year.

Until... he received a message yesterday.

The vicious cycle of Green Forest City...

It was shattered by a young man's brutal punch!

"Little...haha, I'll take advantage of you a little, so I'll call you Brother Xu!"

Yang Guotao felt a surge of relief; he hadn't laughed so heartily in a long time.

The unspoken rules that had trapped him for so long and made him bear the blame for years were gone, and the incident happened to this young man in front of him!

To be honest, even if Xu De stopped pursuing legal action after this, the environment in Green Forest City wouldn't be as bad as it used to be.

Why?

Because everything is difficult at the beginning.

Xu De has forced Hu Guang and Zhang Bingxin to take this crucial first step!

"Brother Xu, are you in a hurry to register your law firm?"

Yang Guotao was in a great mood, and his words contained some hints.

Xu De did not dwell on the other person's form of address.

Just kidding. Lusen City is a prefecture-level city, and Yang Guotao is definitely a high-ranking leader. The other party is at least a deputy director. If you befriend someone like that in a legitimate and mutually beneficial way, your colleagues will probably be so envious that they won't be able to sleep!

"It's still a bit urgent, and I'm a little short on cash," Xu De said.

"Is that so... Don't worry, our Bureau of Justice never mistreats those who have made contributions."

After a moment's thought, Yang Guotao took on the responsibility for this small matter.

"I've taken your documents. I'll expedite your law firm registration."

"The loan will be even easier to handle; I'll just give you a call when the time comes."

When he said "expedited," he probably meant it was truly expedited.

Moreover, this is the proper procedure. Even if the director finds out, he will only resent that he acted slower than Yang Guotao, rather than blaming the director.

After all, local policies that favor special talents to attract them are clearly stated in writing.

If you delay offering a higher price to recruit someone like Xu De, it's a sign of your incompetence!

As for the registration time...

"It should be about half a month, or 15 days later," Yang Guotao said.

"Thank you very much, Brother Yang!"

Xu De smiled and then exchanged private cell phone numbers.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they left.

Although Xu De always felt that a win-win situation meant that he would win twice, such as the win-win situation between him and Li Youcai, which meant that he would get both and win twice!

But it's clear that what's more in line with public understanding right now is what both sides are satisfied with.

Xu De obtained a lot of effective resources, and the original process time of at least 40 days was compressed to 15 days, allowing him to start business 25 days earlier.

Yang Guotao also profited. He represented the Bureau of Justice in investing and recruiting talent. If the other party developed well... this would be a significant achievement on their resume!

"Xiao Liu, I've given this document special approval for expedited processing. Just stamp it and send it to the provincial government immediately."

Yang Guotao smiled and looked at his subordinate who hadn't eaten yet.

Upon hearing the noise, the subordinate snapped out of his daze and quickly took it.

"yes!"

He still hurriedly processed it.

Seeing his expression, Yang Guotao sat down in his chair and chuckled, "Are you wondering who that lawyer is?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu, who was in the process of approving the application, paused, an embarrassed look on his face.

He was just stunned because of this.

no way.

Yang Guotao is a deputy director level officer. You could say he's the top manager in the legal profession in Lusen City, and he wields a lot of real power!

In the past, he would often ignore established, top-tier lawyers or directors of large law firms when they contacted him. Why was he so happy with a young lawyer today...?

"Hey, you just don't understand!"

Yang Guotao was in a wonderful mood today, and he started to build suspense, then changed the subject and said:

"Tonight at 7:30, on the official television station of Green Forest City...you can take a look."

"After reading this, you'll know him."

7:30? The official TV station during prime time?

Could I meet a young lawyer here?

Xiao Liu was taken aback. He looked up and saw that Yang Guotao had already left. He could only keep his doubts to himself and silently memorize tonight's TV news.

......

......

"Squeak~"

"You're here? Tell me, what exactly happened?"

7 PM.

On Torch Road, at the Jinmao Law Firm, all the lawyers had left work, except for one office that was still brightly lit.

Three people were gathered in the office.

The television hanging on the wall was emitting a calm sound, quietly broadcasting the news, and the sound was very clear.

Director Han sat in the main seat, capped his pen, looked up, and stared at the lawyer who had just entered with a gloomy face.

The other party is the head of the criminal division, a senior executive under the director of the law firm.

The original plan was to meet with the other party in the morning to clarify things, but the client's case couldn't be postponed, so I had to meet with him after the court session ended.

"What happened with Attorney Xu?!" Director Han's face was grim, his voice filled with suppressed anger.

Seeing his reaction, Chief Zhang of the Criminal Division subconsciously looked to his side, where Chief Zhang of the Civil Division had already entered.

Upon seeing this, Section Chief Jin sighed slightly and nodded to him.

"Xu De?"

Section Chief Zhang was also somewhat stunned. He looked at Director Han, as if this matter was a little different from what he had expected.

He didn't answer.

Director Han pressed further: "Attorney Xu terminated the contract."

"He's gone!?" Section Chief Zhang was somewhat taken aback and asked instinctively.

"Ha, something like this happened at the institute...wouldn't you leave if it were you!?"

Director Han could barely contain his anger, and his tone was full of hostility.

After saying that, he stared intently at the other person and said directly:

"Section Chief Zhang, tell me, is the fact that Attorney Xu only received 3,700 yuan in consultation fees over three months... related to Sun Hao?"

Section Chief Zhang was startled, hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

"Yes."

The words were spoken.

Director Han took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair.

Before the other party arrived, he had asked Section Chief Jin, and the answer he received was... Sun Hao was making things difficult for Xu De!

That idiot actually pushed me onto him, telling him to cultivate a relationship. Only those who have someone to rely on make things difficult for them!

The reason?

Jin Guchang guessed that it was actually the other party's jealousy stemming from their inferiority complex... This answer was utterly ridiculous and even absurd!

Director Han even thought the other party was joking with him at the time.

Why are you jealous of someone as talented as him? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate a good relationship with him and reap real benefits?

But that's just how it is.

Furthermore, because Sun Hao was his relative, Section Chief Jin and Section Chief Zhang dared not definitively conclude that this was at his behest, and therefore did not dare to report it to their superiors...

He even deduced...

He secretly gave Sun Hao the bonus meant for "cultivating a relationship" to pass on to Xu De, but Sun Hao pocketed it all!

They even embezzled seven hundred yuan, leaving not a single penny. After this deduction was made, Director Han almost choked on his own blood and fainted on the spot!

Three months! Consultation fees of 3,700 yuan, and he even had to pay out of pocket for the criminal case. Now he finally understands that Xu De was willing to leave even without 200,000 yuan...

"idiot......"

Director Han was so angry that his body was trembling, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his chest was heaving violently.

He roared angrily:

"You idiot!!!"

The two people around were startled and quickly tried to calm them down.

"Director, please don't be too angry. Sun Hao was indeed a bit confused, but... he didn't cause any major mistakes, did he?"

"Attorney Xu is still young and doesn't have many resources. We also don't have sunk costs. Besides, his case might not have been handled perfectly, otherwise the newspaper would have already given it a major report."

"It's possible that the client was sentenced to six or three years, which led to the authorities banning the spread of such negative news."

Upon hearing these words...

Although Director Han was still angry, his anger subsided somewhat.

indeed.

Xu De may have won the case, but it was most likely not a major victory; otherwise, given the nature of those reporters, they would have already been reporting it everywhere.

Therefore, the other party left the law firm, even though they suffered a great loss.

But it wasn't the kind of heartache that would make you feel suffocated.

"Make sure Sun Hao comes to see me tomorrow."

Director Han suppressed his anger, finished speaking, and got up to leave. Section Chief Jin and Section Chief Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief.

just.

Just as the three were preparing to pack their things and leave...

Inside the office, a clear and familiar sound suddenly came from the color TV hanging on the wall.

"Welcome to today's 'Green Forest News,' I'm your host, Wang Zhen..."

"Just yesterday afternoon at 5:30, the Intermediate People's Court of Lusen City delivered its verdict in the Lijiacun case. In the case, the defendant's defense lawyer won the case by relying on his professional skills."

"This lawyer has a solid foundation in legal theory, unique insights, and meticulous logic. At the same time, he is extremely capable in all aspects, taking into account both human relationships and ethics while upholding fairness and justice."

"..."

In a daze.

The office was deathly silent.

The three people who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, as if time had stood still, so quiet that they could hear each other breathing clearly.

Director Han turned around and stared blankly at the news broadcast on the TV screen.

This is......

What about Xu De's case?

It's not like the results might be disappointing; the morning paper didn't even report it, and there wasn't a single mention of it in the newspapers...

But... how did I end up on TV?!

Director Han's gaze, fixed on the television, gradually turned to astonishment.

The host's voice, transmitted through the television, reached every corner of Green Forest City, and rang clearly in everyone's ears.

"The case quickly sparked widespread discussion among the public."

"In this case, officials from the Lusen Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission praised the case, and the judicial authorities called it an unrepeatable example!"

It wasn't just him.

This moment.

At this moment, every household, every resident who had finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa watching TV, was stunned.
