Li Dagui looked helplessly at the well-dressed young man standing on a stone giving a speech in front of the dilapidated residential building.
People gathered in front of the residential building, cheers and applause broke out from time to time, and reporters around took pictures.
Then he looked at the short, fat, slightly bald middle-aged man next to him. He was the deputy chairman of the Health Committee under the Beiguan Municipal Management Committee, named Zhang Zhenbang.
Li Dagui felt even more helpless.
The Health Commission originally had a fixed attorney firm, and its legal business had always been handed over to Liu Hanxuan & Associates.
But in this dispute, Liu Hanxuan's firm responded that it was in merger negotiations with Lawyer Lu Qianxing's firm, so there was a conflict of interest and it could not represent the client.
It doesn't even matter if the letter is sent to the Board of Health to terminate the long-term agency contract.
Therefore, the Health Committee found Tang & Lee Law Firm, and Tang & Lee Law Firm was handed over to itself.
The reason is that he has dealt with Lawyer Lu Qianxing's firm many times, and fought with Lawyer Lu Qianxing's apprentices. He was also the legal aid lawyer for Sirov, an important witness in Lawyer Lu Qianxing's case against Renault Jr.
In the end, Sirov was pardoned. You did a great job.
Therefore, you have rich experience in dealing with lawyer Lu Qianxing and have good results. You are the only candidate to represent you this time.
Li Dagui thought that his boss was talking to him very seriously and gave him one, two or three reasons why this case must be done by him. He almost wanted to cry without tears.
If you are afraid, just say you are afraid. What are you doing?
Lawyer Lu Qianxing is in the limelight right now, and no one wants to compete with him. This is understandable, but there is no need. Being cannon fodder makes you a good person, right?
"Wow", there was warm applause again.
The sun was very hot today. Zhang Zhenbang, the deputy director of the Health Commission next to Li Dagui, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his bald head and looked over with disdain, "It's a show, a show! It's too much!"
Li Dagui was startled. Director Zhang was not a member of the legal profession, so he had no idea how terrifying this lawyer Lu Qianxing was. In addition, Director Zhang was also a senior official in the administrative agency, with a high position of authority, and he was very bureaucratic.
He was careless and arrogant about this meeting, especially when the other party asked him to wait here, which made him even more angry.
But you can't say this nonsense. If Lu Qianxing hears it, what's the point?
However, you can't make your customers shut up, right?
Li Dagui quietly stood far away from Director Zhang to avoid being heard by Lu Qianxing's people and thinking that he was complaining with him.
But, having said that, Lawyer Lu Qianxing is really putting on a show, isn't he?
A huge poster has been hung on the outside of the New Era Mall building. You can clearly see it from a distance. Lawyer Lu Qianxing wants to create a fair society and a fair community, starting with the lemonade girl!
On the huge poster, against the bustling background of high-rise buildings, stood a little girl covered in patches holding a bottle of lemonade. The contrast was extremely sharp.
Behind the little girl, there is a blurry image of a group of people in poorly dressed clothes. They all look like working class people.
"Let her and them become members of our fair society!" is the voice shouted by lawyer Lu on the poster.
Not to mention, it is clear that the little girl’s grandmother has been sent to the hospital by Lawyer Lu, and I heard that she was taken very good care of.
However, Lu Lu led a large group of people to cause mischief in the little girl's house. Isn't this just a show?
Li Dagui then quickly shook his head and wanted to forget these thoughts, otherwise, it would be terrible if he slipped up during the negotiation later.
"You two, please come with me!" A beautiful girl in a red elegant style skirt stood next to her and made a gesture of invitation.
Over there, the applause became more and more enthusiastic. It seemed that lawyer Lu Qianxing's speech had come to an end.
…
In the glass-walled conference room, you can see the busy men and women outside. Looking at their dress and temperament, you can tell that they are all professional elites in this society.
Director Zhang, who was originally very arrogant, became less arrogant at this time, but after waiting in the conference room for too long, he was still a little impatient. He turned to Li Dagui and said, "Go and urge me!"
On the other side of Director Zhang, sat a nervous-looking middle-aged man in black uniform clothes and pants, with a pen in his jacket pocket.
The health supervisor who caused this dispute is named Chen Rongchang.
He was summoned at short notice. When the other party saw that Chen Rongchang was not present, he refused the meeting.
After Li Dagui's persuasion, Director Zhang called him and called him over.
"Oh, here it comes!" Zhang Zhenbang had to urge him several times. Li Dagui originally wanted to pretend to go out for a walk, but he saw several figures already in front of the glass wall, and then the glass door slid open left and right.
Lu Qianxing came in holding the little girl's Xiuxiu hand, and arrived at the oval conference table. The beautiful girl in red who followed him picked up the little girl and placed her on the large leather chair.
The little girl Xiu Xiu is no longer covered in patches, but she is still dressed very simply, wearing a floral dress.
When she saw Chen Rongchang, she immediately lowered her head timidly. Apparently, she was still afraid of this middle-aged man who had kicked her stall viciously.
"My time is precious!" Lu Ming took out a piece of white paper, glanced at Li Dagui, crossed out the numbers on it, and wrote a new number.
"Our time..." Zhang Zhenbang immediately became angry after hearing this young man's words. Isn't my time much more valuable than yours?
Li Dagui had already whispered in his ear: "The lawyer on the other side charges 1,000 yuan for a minute's consultation."
After sending Little Leno to the guillotine, the price list of Wang-Lu Law Firm showed that lawyer Lu Qianxing's consulting fees skyrocketed from 100 yuan to 1,000 yuan per minute.
Zhang Zhenbang was stunned and opened his mouth wide. He couldn't say what he wanted to say. One minute was his year's salary?
Lu Ming had already pushed the white paper with numbers on it and slid it over from the smooth conference table.
"So, decide quickly, otherwise, I will raise the price."
Li Dagui picked up the white paper and looked at it, and immediately took a breath of air. There was a 7,4 and 0 on it, which was 70,000 yuan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are you crazy?!" Zhang Zhenbang stood up suddenly, "You are simply a madman!" He turned to Li Dagui and said: "Let's go!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Whatever, actually, I originally offered 100,000 yuan, but I didn't expect that you would be represented by lawyer Li Dagui. I have dealt with lawyer Li Dagui before..."
Hearing this, Li Dagui almost stood up in fear and said he didn't dare, but after all, the customer was beside him, so he still sat reservedly, with a calm expression on his face.
"Lawyer Li Dagui is an excellent lawyer. Therefore, I think that even if I go to court, I can get the same price. Therefore, I have given a 30% discount. Our time is precious, so don't waste it.
It’s in court!”
Li Dagui looked at the piece of paper. Indeed, it was originally 100,000, but after sketching it, it became 70,000.
"Director Zhang, don't be impatient yet, listen to what the other party has to say." Li Dagui whispered in Zhang Zhenbang's ear.
Zhang Zhenbang snorted coldly and sat down. It turns out that these lawyers also charge exorbitant prices?
In this dispute, when I saw the letter from the other party's lawyer, it seemed that Director Li knew this person, so he called himself in and said that he would spend less money and settle it. There was no need to go to court and be attacked by the other party.
Director Li told me that if it is less than five hundred yuan, I can agree.
Originally, I thought that Director Li was old and confused, so why did he pay so much compensation?
But now looking at the numbers the other party brought out, I simply feel that this is a ridiculous dream.
Li Dagui looked at Lu Ming and said, "Lawyer Lu, your client does not have a health license to operate a stall, which is illegal in nature. However, for humanitarian reasons, we are willing to give appropriate condolences to the Xiuxiu children, but it is not
Compensation, and your figure is simply impossible."
Looking at the giant who was almost impossible to knock down, Li Dagui calmed down. As a lawyer, at this time, he still had to fulfill his responsibilities and do his best, and do whatever he can.
Lu Ming smiled: "Why do you need a health permit to set up a stall?"
In a word, everyone present was a little confused.
At first, I thought that Lawyer Lu was asking for compensation on the grounds of his rough law enforcement. But now, the health permit was rejected?
Lu Ming continued: "What is a health license? Isn't it better for people to check the hygiene of the products? Is there any difference between the operators checking the hygiene themselves?"
"Please note that the local drinks mentioned here do not involve expired products, additives, etc."
"In fact, when a society requires specific institutions to test whether all products are qualified or not, this society has already lost!"
"It shows that in this society, the moral bottom line is already the law, which is sad."
"Of course, I also think that testing institutions are necessary, and the more categories, the better."
"However, this kind of testing and the issuance of this kind of certificate should not violate human nature."
"Take Xiuxiu as an example. She and her grandmother have been selling lemonade for many years. The place where they set up their stall is in the New Era Shopping Mall. The security guards there never drive them away because they all know that the little girl is suffering, and the ancestors
Sun's lemonade has always been clean and hygienic. For so many years, no one has had any minor problems after drinking their lemonade. So, why does she have to have you approve it? Does she need your certificate? Products with your certificate will be sold.
Are there few problems?”
"Half a century ago, when our health management agency came along, was it for you to expel truly conscientious traders?"
"Why should she give you part of the money she and her grandson earned from setting up a stall after working so hard for a month?"
"But, the law..." Before Li Dagui finished speaking, Lu Ming waved his hand, "Laws are made by people, especially the provisions of some institutions, which are to restrict specific groups of people. Are they necessarily reasonable? The regulations of the Health Commission, in my eyes, are
It's like shit."
"You!" Director Zhang was originally very angry after hearing the other party's nonsense. Who knew that such a sentence would suddenly come out. He was so angry that his face turned red and he stood up, "Why are you so rude?!"
Lu Ming looked at him, "Do you believe it or not that if you go to court, you will have to amend the clauses soon?! Many clauses will soon become nonsense!"
"You, you..." Director Zhang pointed at Lu Ming, so angry that he could not speak.
Lu Ming ignored him and looked at Li Dagui, "Okay, let's not talk about the health license. Let's talk about Xiuxiu's losses."
"Even if Xiuxiu doesn't have a health permit, you broke a lot of her things when you were enforcing the law..."
Li Dagui nodded: "These losses can be discussed."
"And the injuries the little girl suffered..."
Li Dagui thought: "We can also talk."
"More importantly, the little girl's products were slandered in public, her lemonade was said to be unhygienic, and her lemonade was smashed in public, which caused losses to Xiuxiu."
"You should understand that Xiuxiu's carefully prepared lemonade originally felt that the price was not high, but the exclusive handmade formula is delicious, very hygienic, and has the meaning of a time-honored brand. Although the price is not high, it has a high-end feel.
There are also customers from far away who come here specially to buy it. Your law enforcement agency said it was unhygienic and smashed it on the spot. These lemonades were mixed with sewage. In the future, when people see Xiuxiu's lemonade, they will think of sewage, and they will also think of sewage.
Will anyone buy it? Do you understand the psychology of consumers?"
Li Dagui was stunned, but he had done enough homework, "Xiu Xiu may not be able to sell lemonade very well for a long time. The Health Committee is willing to issue a special health license to Xiu Xiu, and within ten years, she will
Waiving the management fee can be regarded as making up for her losses."
Xiuxiu couldn't understand anything else, but when she heard this, her big eyes flickered and she looked at Uncle Qianxing beside her. This was really enough. A free health permit was unimaginably good.
In the past, it was not that grandma didn’t want to pay, but the people from the Health Commission considered bulk drinks, so they required that every sale be inspected and charged. For this, grandma often cried, and she and grandma had no choice but to talk to the health supervisors.
Hide and seek.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After listening to Li Dagui's words, Lu Ming shook his head and smiled: "Big turtle, big turtle, you still don't understand."
"Let me show you a sample document!" Lu Ming stretched out his hand, and the girl in red hurriedly took out a few pages of documents from her briefcase. Lu Ming pushed them and slid them in front of Li Dagui.
Li Dagui picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned. It was a letter of intent to buy out the Huaxia Beverage Company. Party B was Xiuxiu's name.
The above said that Grandma and Grandson’s lemonade has a unique formula, good taste, and can be built into a time-honored brand. Huaxia Beverage Industry is planning to invest 50,000 yuan to purchase the exclusive formula, and every year lemonade sales, dividends will be distributed to Xiuxiu and Grandson.
.
The signing date of the letter of intent was ten days ago.
Lu Ming shook his head: "Now, the reputation of Grandma and Grandson Lemonade has been completely destroyed by you. Throwing it into the sewer ditch in public and saying it is unhygienic is a black spot that will never be erased. Huaxia Beverage Industry has withdrawn its offer. Such an unreasonable disaster,
If the long-term losses for Xiuxiu and her grandson are two hundred thousand, it will cost you one or two hundred thousand. Now I am claiming 70,000 from you. It is because of you, lawyer Li Dagui, that I have pushed myself to the limit!"
Director Zhang, who was next to Li Dagui, looked at the letter of intent and said coldly: "It's nonsense. Is this a fabrication? Does anyone believe it?"
Lu Ming frowned slightly: "Director Zhang, this is your first time, I forgive you. If you slander me again and commit the illegal act of forging documents, I will formally file a lawsuit in court to sue you for damaging my reputation. When the time comes,
This cannot be solved by compensation of 70,000 or 700,000 yuan!"
"As for whether this document is valid, we will find out when it goes to court!"
Li Dagui frowned and whispered a few words in Director Zhang's ear, and Director Zhang slowly sat down.
Lu Ming added: "With this 70,000 yuan compensation, a fund will be established, which will be supervised by our law firm, and will be responsible for the future expenses of Xiuxiu's grandparents and grandchildren, including grandma's medical treatment needs, Xiuxiu's future study and living expenses for school.
Wait, until you get married, there should be a very generous dowry..." At this point, Lu Ming looked at Xiuxiu beside him, smiled slightly, pinched Xiuxiu's face: "Little guy, there is a dowry.
I’ll study hard in the future, and I’d also like to thank the uncles and uncles from the Health Commission!”
Over there, Director Zhang gritted his teeth, "This is impossible!"
"Oh..." Lu Ming raised his head and looked at Chen Rongchang, the middle-aged man who smashed the Xiuxiu stall, and pointed at him, "There is an additional clause in the settlement agreement. This person must be fired from public office."
Chen Rongchang immediately turned pale.
Director Zhang thought for a while and said: "Let's do this, Rongchang, you first sincerely apologize to Xiuxiu to show our sincerity."
"Okay, okay..." In front of this big leader, Chen Rongchang didn't dare to say anything. He immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Xiuxiu: "Miss Xiuxiu, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
Xiuxiu looked at this middle-aged uncle with a fierce look, and now he seemed like a pitiful man. She felt that this occasion was very scary, and she really didn't want to sit here, but he seemed to be more afraid of something.
Not daring to say anything, Xiuxiu hid behind Lu Ming.
Director Zhang added: "Chen Rongchang, we will fire you. How about five hundred yuan in compensation? This includes issuing free health permits to Xiuxiu's grandparents."
Having become accustomed to being a leader, he felt that the lawyers around him were not very effective, so Director Zhang decided to take control of the situation himself.
Li Dagui shook his head helplessly.
Over there, Chen Rongchang's legs went weak and he slumped down on the chair. How could he be like this? After he apologized, he said he would be fired.
Moreover, it was in front of myself.
But in the eyes of these big leaders, waiting for these losers is not a human being at all. Naturally, they will not consider their own feelings.
Lu Ming looked at Zhang Zhenbang dumbfounded, "Director Zhang, isn't this a vegetable market? 500? Okay, you can go back and think about it. If there is no clear answer after three days, I will formally file a lawsuit on behalf of my client!"
Zhang Zhenbang was startled, then he realized that he seemed to have made a joke. This was not the counteroffer. The other party really wanted this astronomical amount of compensation.
It’s crazy!
With a pale face, he said to Li Dagui: "Let's go!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Director Zhang, digressing from the topic, in fact, your fees, including various taxes, etc., are for the secondary distribution of social wealth. In fact, during the secondary distribution, instead of giving people like me
It’s easy to take away things like doing projects, so it’s better to actually distribute them to Xiuxiu’s grandparents and grandchildren, who really need them, to save their lives, don’t you think?”
Zhang Zhenbang's face turned pale as he strode out, followed by Li Dagui.
Lu Ming smiled at Li Dagui: "Dagui, do you think the judge and jury will accept my argument if it goes to court?"
Li Dagui felt a chill in his heart, forced a smile, and quickly followed out.
…
In the conference room, Lu Ming looked at Xiuxiu and said, "Okay, let's go to the newspaper for an interview. Xiu Xiu, you have to put on a good show and cooperate with me. Your name is Xiuxiu, so you have to be good at putting on a show!"
Xiuxiu lowered her head, not daring to speak.
The pretty girl in red next to her felt a little helpless. If she hadn't known Lawyer Lu for many years, she might have really thought that Lawyer Lu was doing these things just to show off for running for Congress.
Even when Lawyer Lu sent Little Renault to the guillotine, many people outside thought it was Lawyer Lu who failed to blackmail the Renault family's tower restaurant, so they stared at Little Renault with vengeance, and must kill him. However, Little Renault,
He really deserves to die.
Now again, Lawyer Lu is obviously sincerely helping these two grandsons, but it just seems like he is just putting on a show because he wants to run for parliament.
I originally understood it this way, thinking that Lawyer Lu was hypocritical and scary.
However, after listening to what Director Pan said about Lawyer Lu, I asked myself, as the chief executive of the campaign office, to help him with the election.
Now, I understand Lawyer Lu a little bit. In fact, he is a very kind and gentle person at heart.
But maybe, in this world, kind and gentle people are destined to have many weaknesses when they stand at a high place.
Lawyer Lu didn't want anyone to see his weakness, so he tried his best to disguise himself so that outsiders could only see what he wanted others to see.
People outside the circle, ordinary people, will be infected by Lawyer Lu’s declaration and will support Lawyer Lu’s ideas.
Insiders, who know a lot of inside information, will think that Lawyer Lu is hypocritical, cruel and terrifying.
Only those who are truly themselves will know what a special existence he is.
