"Wang Da'an Law Firm" turned out to be across the street, in a three-story building. The corridors were dark, and the signs of the merchants inside were all tattered. Moreover, the people who came in and out of recreation clubs and mahjong parlors had bald heads.
People with tattoos look very sophisticated and complicated.
Moreover, when Lu Ming and Zhou Xiaobao went up, Wang Daan had not yet arrived, and the office door was locked. It seemed that Wang Daan was performing a one-man show, as he did not have the standard clerk or receptionist for lawyers, so as to save all expenses.
From the glass window, you can see that there is a very small office inside. The tables and chairs are very old. The signboard "Wang Daan Law Firm" hanging on the door frame next to it looks like it is about to fall down at any time. What is even weirder is that the tenant's door opening opposite
Look, it’s a posing and heavily made-up woman who looks like a prostitute at first glance.
"Let's go down and wait, go down and wait!" Zhou Xiaobao looked a little confused. It must be his first time here.
"He said he would go to the court early in the morning to arrange a legal aid case. I thought I would be back at this point."
After going downstairs and standing under the weeping willows beside the street, Zhou Xiaobao smiled bitterly and glanced at Lu Ming's face, "How about I find another place for you to stay?"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "It's okay, it's pretty good."
"Let's see..." Zhou Xiaobao looked at his watch, "Let's go to Jindiao Building and have a look. I've made some inquiries. Jindiao Building has a vacant office space, which is quite suitable for your new company."
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay."
…
It was already noon when he returned from Jindiao Building, and Zhou Xiaobao was already feeling happy.
Lu Ming was very efficient in his work. He found a five-room office suite on the 12th floor of Jindiao Building and immediately signed a contract to rent it. The annual rent was 1,200. After all, Jindiao Building was in the most prosperous area of Beiguan. At the same time,
The fifteen-story Ji Niao Building is also one of the landmark buildings in Beiguan Town.
As a middleman and the guarantor of the lease contract, Zhou Xiaobao could get a 5% commission on the 1,200 yuan rent. After doing some legwork, he got 60 yuan, which is equivalent to a month's salary of a white-collar worker in Beiguan.
I just didn't expect that the door of Wang Da'an Law Firm was still locked.
"This guy is really unreliable!" Zhou Xiaobao said angrily, "Brother, let's not wait any longer. I'll find another place for you to stay!"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I heard that for those who rely on legal aid, going to the court every week to arrange a legal aid lawsuit is like fighting a war. It seems that the date set today is wrong. Let's come back in the afternoon."
"This guy doesn't take things seriously!" Zhou Xiaobao was indignant.
But then, he put on a smile and said, "Brother, don't be anxious. Let's go look at used cars first. In addition, I met with a school director of Fernald. You can enter Fernald College."
It’s almost done.”
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Okay, let's go see the car."
…
The marble floor is shiny, and cars of various shapes and colors are lined up in rows in the hall. Although they are all second-hand cars, many of them are shiny and shiny, and the boards have been cleaned and repaired. At first glance, they look like
The new car is exactly the same.
This is the largest second-hand car dealership in Beiguan. Zhou Xiaobao walked with Lu Ming inside and said with a smile: "Just talk to me when you meet someone you like. Don't worry, I know the boss here very well. I made an agreement with him and we'll settle everything in one go."
If so, we will definitely give us the best price."
Then he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. You can test the car as you like. Later, I will go to Wang Da'an Law Firm and you can try the car."
Lu Ming suddenly stood still and looked at a very beautiful black car in front of him, which looked a bit like a sports car.
Zhou Xiaobao immediately laughed and said, "Brother, you really know the goods. This is the Snow Dragon Phantom that was just launched at the beginning of this year. It has high power and the latest small-block engine developed by the Empire. The model is also beautiful and elegant. It goes well with your handsome appearance, brother."
Lu Ming nodded. Indeed, the curves were smooth. In his opinion, it was a very beautiful little antique car.
In the previous life, even money could not buy it.
This should be the prototype of the first generation of supercars. The model is really beautiful, a bit like the sports cars in the previous science fiction movies. The front is convex and the back is curved. The huge and protruding headlights are like frog eyes, and the butt suddenly shrinks. The shape
Chic.
Of course, from an aerodynamic point of view, this shape is still not very scientific. Supercars in previous generations have gradually abandoned this kind of body streamline.
Next to Zhou Xiaobao and Lu Ming, who have been following Zhou Xiaobao and Lu Ming around, is the lobby manager of the car dealership. He is a middle-aged man with a very calm look, wearing a white shirt and a bow tie. His surname is Fang.
He was always bored, and what bothered him the most was that the customers assigned to him by the boss didn't get much commission after the deal was concluded, and they had to be attentive. When he met a picky customer, he would be even more annoyed if he said something bad about himself to the boss.
But when he saw the guest stopping in front of the Snow Dragon Phantom, Manager Fang's eyes immediately lit up and he said with a smile: "You two gentlemen have really good taste. Do you want to try the car? Mr. Liu has told me that for all cars, you two
Just try it out."
Lu Ming rubbed his nose and said to Zhou Xiaobao: "Isn't this car a bit exaggerated?"
Zhou Xiaobao chuckled, "It's not an exaggeration. Don't worry, brother. Young people in Donghai have different consumption concepts. It doesn't matter if they have three meals a day or drink boiled water. Some renters may not be able to afford it, but they also need a cool convertible."
Moreover, there are many rental car businesses. Brother, you are so young, you have your own apartment, and you are a lawyer. You can drive any car. Besides, this is a second-hand car, right?" He lowered his voice and said: "Go to school.
Just don’t open it.”
Zhou Xiaobao is now more or less sure of his identity as the God of Wealth. Although this God of Wealth is very young, he has a cautious personality.
And it seems that, like many rich people, he came here as a refugee. This can explain why he insisted on going to school. It was nothing more than slowly. After a few years of operation, if you look at the materials in the file, he can almost transform into a native.
of locals.
Therefore, although he was happy to see this luxury car, he still had many concerns.
"What's the approximate price of this car?" Lu Ming asked, "It's a new car that was just launched this year. It hasn't been driven for a long time, right?"
Zhou Xiaobao rubbed his nose. The market price of this car is 5,300 yuan. He likes it very much. He has been researching it for a long time, but he really can't afford it. He should be able to scrape together the money, but if he uses it to buy a car, his wife will have to scratch herself to death.
Seeing that Zhou Xiaobao remained silent, Manager Fang smiled flatteringly at Lu Ming and said, "Sir, if this car is new, even if it has an internal price, it will cost more than 5,000 yuan. But don't worry, although this car is only one month old, you can definitely get the price."
Satisfied, we only sold it for 4,500 yuan, and there was definitely nothing wrong with the car. The original owner was in urgent need of money. He put it over yesterday and only sold it for three days. After three days, he might just use the car to pay for it.
"
Zhou Xiaobao whispered in Lu Ming's ear: "Don't worry, you can definitely get the 3,500 yuan. If the owner of the debt pays the debt, what a good car, that is, half price. This kind of luxury car that needs to be sold urgently is the best."
It’s hard to sell. Even if it’s only been driven for a month, it’s still second-hand. You can afford such a large sum of money to buy it at any time. People don’t mind adding some money to buy a new car. People who buy second-hand luxury cars have much lower financial strength and want this.
It saves face, but in a hurry, it’s difficult to get such a large amount of money.”
Lu Ming nodded silently as he listened.
In my previous life, I didn’t really like playing with cars, but the small antique car in front of me, a first-generation supercar, has such beautiful curves that it makes people feel itchy after seeing it. Now I really understand a little bit about people who play with cars.
"Sir, please try the car first!" Manager Fang saw Lu Ming's expression and immediately knew that this customer was as good as a fire. As long as he lit it, the business would be done.
Lu Ming smiled: "I won't try."
Manager Fang immediately felt huge disappointment, but he heard the young man in front of him say: "Let's go to your office and talk about the price. You can also communicate with your boss."
Manager Fang was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, okay, sir, please..."
…
In the afternoon, at Wang Daan Law Firm, Lu Ming finally met the legendary lawyer Wang Daan.
In the Beiguan legal community, he is also quite legendary. He has been practicing law for more than 30 years and is still a junior advocate, also known as the first stage lawyer.
Imperial lawyers are divided into eight levels: Junior Advocate, Intermediate Advocate, Senior Advocate, Senior Advocate, Super Advocate, Barrister, Senior Barrister and Queen's Counsel.
Once you get the lawyer's license, you are a junior advocate. It is really strange to be able to hang around in the junior level for more than thirty years without being promoted or being eliminated and having your lawyer's license revoked.
When Lu Ming entered the office, Wang Daan was biting a piece of black hard bread and writing something randomly in his hand.
It seems to be summarizing the main points of the case.
He is in his fifties, his hair is graying, he is very thin, and his figure does not look good.
Lu Ming asked Zhou Xiaobao to go about his own business, introduced himself to Wang Daan, and took out his residence permit.
Wang Daan immediately laughed and said very cordially, "Lu Bian, thanks to you, this time, I took on two legal aid cases, one of which is yours."
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. He was involved in legal aid lawsuits and his income was meager, ranging from 10 yuan to 50 yuan. After going to labor and other services, there was not much money left. No wonder Wang Daan and the affairs officer did not hire one.
"Well, just wait a moment and I'll treat you to afternoon tea!" Wang Daan's face was full of sincerity. It seemed that he wanted to keep this partner.
"It's okay, you are busy with your business." Lu Ming smiled, sat aside, picked up a legal newspaper and started reading.
The first impression is that Wang Da'an is a nice guy, so it would be good to get to know him better. After all, he is considered a partner of this firm.
