As soon as she settled in, Lan Hong began to prepare the appeal materials. As a lawyer, these things were not difficult for her.
But the problem before her now is how to find an attorney.
There are no secrets in the legal circle. Qin Hao won the first trial with an overwhelming advantage. Naturally, other lawyers have to weigh whether taking this case will lower their winning rate. Good lawyers cherish their feathers.
Just like Luo Bin, his 100% winning rate is not only outstanding in ability, but also the result of his screening of cases.
After all, he is just a lawyer, not a god. It is impossible for him to win a lawsuit with solid evidence.
The evidence for Lanhong's case is now conclusive, and the chance of a comeback is close to zero.
Of course, there are also those lawyers who don't care about their feathers and just want to make money. Lan Hong looks down on them. She only has two chances at most, and she can't waste any of them.
After searching for several days, Lan Hong still couldn't find a suitable attorney. Instead, news of her appeal spread online.
"Pan Jinlian still has the nerve to appeal?"
"People are really shameless these days. They lost so miserably in the first trial and still have to appeal. Isn't this a waste of judicial resources?"
"What can you do to make people happy? Anyway, if you lose, you won't lose anything. If you win, you will gain blood."
Not to mention, Lan Hong's running was still effective. She actually found a lawyer, and she knew this person before.
"Lawyer Wang, long time no see."
Wang Li smiled and shook hands with Lan Hong: "Yes, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so radiant."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Lan Hong said seriously: "Lawyer Wang wants to represent my son?"
"Otherwise, what would I be doing here? Our lawyers' time is very precious." Wang Li spread his hands and said confidently.
Lan Hong asked tentatively: "Lawyer Wang should have heard about the difficulty of my case, right? Are you sure you can help me win the second trial?"
"Lan Hong, you have also been a lawyer. You should know that no matter what kind of case, no one dares to say that they are sure to win before going to trial. I can only say that if I am your attorney, I will at least have a chance to win.
Win and be someone else..."
Seeing Wang Li's confidence, Lan Hong became interested: "Oh? How are you going to help me win this lawsuit?"
Wang Li smiled noncommittally: "What if I tell you the method and you turn around and dump me?"
"I have to know where your confidence comes from, otherwise why should I trust you?"
"Do you have any other choice?" Wang Li looked determined to win.
Lan Hong gritted his teeth: "Okay, we can sign the agency contract now."
Wang Li snapped his fingers and took out a contract directly from his briefcase and handed it to Lan Hong.
When Lan Hong saw the terms above, she felt bad. She quickly took medicine to suppress her rapidly rising heartbeat.
"Are you kidding me?"
Wang Li took a sip of coffee: "No, I never joke about the contract."
"Haha, Lawyer Wang made a good calculation. Regardless of whether you win or lose in this lawsuit, you will make a net profit of 100 million. Why don't you introduce me to such a good thing?" Lan Hong took a breath and sneered.
Wang Li said unhurriedly: "I earned this 100 million based on my ability. If you have my ability, there should be someone willing to spend this money. Besides, Sun Haohan's legacy is worth tens of billions.
I only want 100 million, isn’t that too much?”
"Impossible, ten million is the maximum."
"In this case, you'd better hire someone else."
After Wang Li finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave. Lan Hong waited for the other party to come to the door and called Wang Li back.
"I can sign the contract, but you can at least reveal your method. Qin Hao has a complete chain of evidence. It will not be easy to overturn it."
Wang Li hesitated for a moment: "Okay, the evidence chain in Qin Hao's hands is indeed very complete, but he has a loophole."
"What loophole?"
"His assistant."
Lan Hong recalled: "You mean the assistant who helped him record the video?"
Wang Li nodded proudly.
Lan Hong frowned and shook his head: "How could his assistant help us?"
"Then we have to use some means."
Although Wang Li didn't say what the method was, Lan Hong roughly guessed that it must be some shady method. There is no doubt that if this is discovered, the lawyer's license will be revoked.
But Lan Hong doesn't care about the lawyer's license. What she wants is the tens of billions of inheritance, a huge fortune that she has been planning for more than ten years.
"Are you really sure?" Lan Hong was still a little worried.
Wang Li came closer and whispered: "If I'm not sure, I won't sit here and ask you for 100 million in legal fees."
"Okay, I'll sign!" Lan Hong said through gritted teeth.
"Wise choice." Wang Li smiled happily.
........
At the same time, Qin Hao also had uninvited guests in his office. After hiding for half a month, he was finally blocked by Gu Jie in the law firm.
Gu Jie angrily sat down on the chair that originally belonged to Qin Hao.
"Why are you avoiding me?"
Qin Hao pretended to be helpless and said: "Lawyer Gu is overthinking. It's really unlucky. I wasn't at the law firm when you came, and I've been very busy lately..."
Gu Jie coldly snorted: "Don't do this to me. Don't forget that I single-handedly promoted you to where you are today."
Qin Hao's expression changed. The reason why he had been avoiding Gu Jie was not because he was afraid of her, but because he didn't want to break up with Gu Jie. But if Gu Jie gets in trouble, he can't be blamed for being unkind.
"Lawyer Gu, just tell me if you have any questions. I have to go out to meet a client later."
When Gu Jie heard this, he slapped the table and stood up: "What's your attitude?"
Now that his face was broken, Qin Hao was too lazy to pretend any longer, and said coldly: "Lawyer Gu seems to have forgotten that I am now the director of Quan Jin Law Firm!"
Gu Jie looked at Qin Hao with disbelief, his chest heaving violently: "Okay, okay, you are going to rebel!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Lawyer Gu, you know very well why you helped me in the first place. It was just an exchange of interests. Don't forget, if it weren't for me, the seal would have to be re-sealed."
If you were in charge, you would have been kicked out long ago!" Qin Hao said unceremoniously.
"Even if I leave Quan Jin, I can start over again at any time. I will take away all my people and my customers!" Gu Jie threatened.
Qin Hao sneered and made a sign of invitation: "Lawyer Gu, it's best not to overestimate yourself."
"I'll prove it to you!"
After saying that, Gu Jie slammed the door and left.
Soon, the news of Qin Hao and Gu Jie's quarrel spread in Quan Jin.
"You think Director Qin and Lawyer Gu won't have a falling out, right?"
"It's hard to tell. Lawyer Gu has always wanted to go back to work in the law firm. Lawyer Qin has been avoiding her. Now he is probably at odds. When I saw Lawyer Gu leaving, the one with a dark face couldn't help it.
Watched it."
"Isn't that right? I heard that Lawyer Gu even slammed Director Qin's door. It was so loud."
Gu Jie was very angry after leaving Quan Jin. She did not expect that Qin Hao, whom she had always regarded as "one of her own", would actually betray her, and even Seal did not dare to talk to her like this.
"Hmph, I will make you pay for your actions!"
Gu Jie found a cafe nearby and sat down, then took out his cell phone and started making calls.
"Hey, Lawyer Yao, it's me. Do you have time now? Oh, I'm on my way to the court. Okay, let's make an appointment later."
"Lawyer Liu, this is me, Gu Jie, let's have a cup of coffee together, what? You've gone back to your hometown for vacation? How long will it take? Half a month, that's fine, we'll get together when you come back."
After making six or seven phone calls in a row, Gu Jie's face changed from full of confidence to extremely stiff. If one or two people had something to do, she would still understand. So many people couldn't date them. It was obvious that they were hiding.
Hold yourself.
"A bunch of white-eyed wolves!" Gu Jie was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.
After a while, Gu Jie calmed down again. Among these people were the confidants she had promoted, and some who had been favored by her. She didn't understand why these people had forgotten about her after such a short time.
"Hey, Gao Feng, why don't you come out? Yes, it's at the cafe opposite Quan Jin."
Ten minutes later, Gao Feng's sneaky figure appeared in the cafe.
"Lawyer Gu."
"Well, sit down." Gu Jie looked at Gao Feng for a while and then asked.
"Lawyer Yao will hold court today?"
Gao Feng looked confused: "No, I just saw Lawyer Yao in the law firm."
"What about Lawyer Liu? He went back to his hometown on vacation?" Gu Jie's face turned ugly when he heard this, and he continued to ask.
Gao Feng scratched his head: "I never heard that Lawyer Liu is on vacation. Yesterday, he asked me to compile a document and hand it to him in the afternoon."
Since Gu Jie took a long vacation, Gao Feng lost his backer and became a marginal figure. Dai Xi often arranged for him to do odd jobs. Compared with before, life was miserable. Gao Feng naturally hoped that Gu Jie could return to Quan Jin.
, to save oneself from the sea of suffering.
Gu Jie asked several other lawyers about their itineraries and found that they were indeed avoiding her. This made Gu Jie angry and confused. They had all supported her before, so why did they suddenly start avoiding her?
"What happened to the law firm recently?" Gu Jie asked with a frown.
Gao Feng thought for a while: "Nothing happened. It's just that everyone has been very busy recently. We are almost out of assistants, so we have recruited a new group of assistants."
"Recruited a new batch of assistants? Very busy?" Gu Jie subconsciously felt something was wrong. Although the law firm's business volume was not small in the past, there was never a shortage of assistants.
“Have the number of clients of the law firm increased recently?”
Gao Feng nodded repeatedly: "It's a lot more. Now everyone is so busy that they can't even touch the ground. I just found an excuse to come out to pick up the express delivery."
"No wonder, I thought they were all in a hurry these past few times I came to the law firm." Gu Jie murmured to herself, and she realized what the problem was.
At the same time, Qin Hao also made an appointment with Lawyer Yao and the others to meet alone.
"Lawyer Yao, how are you doing lately? Are you still busy?"
Lawyer Yao had a smile on his face: "I'm very busy, I'm very busy. Thank you, director, for your concern."
"That's good. If you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to tell me."
Lawyer Yao hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Lawyer Gu just called me to ask me to have coffee. I said I was going to the court."
Qin Hao smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, I understand, you go ahead and do your work first."
Looking at Lawyer Yao's leaving figure, Qin Hao sneered secretly. Quan Jin's current business volume has nearly doubled compared to before. During this period, everyone has made a lot of money. In the face of interests, Gu Jie's small favors before are nothing.
It seems not worth mentioning.
What's more, since Qin Hao took charge of Quan Jin, he has treated them equally regardless of whether they were those who previously lined up for the seal or those who lined up for Gu Jie. He did not favor any faction, but it actually improved Quan Jin's cohesion.
All Gu Jie could promise them was a higher share ratio, but it was not easy to establish a new law firm.
Most clients are after Quan Jin, the golden brand, rather than the individual lawyer. Only a few clients and lawyers are sure to take him away. In this way, the gain outweighs the loss.
It's hard to make stable money, so why should you let everyone follow you, Gu Jie, to take risks?
Ever since they broke up, Gu Jie's poaching operations have never stopped.
But what made her angry and helpless was that very few people responded. Except for Gao Feng and Zhao Xu, everyone else avoided her like the god of plague.
Gu Jie knew very well that people like Zhao Xu were only capable of bad things. If she started a new business with him, no amount of money would be enough to compensate her.
Gao Feng is not reliable either. He was the one who caused her to lose a big client in Xiangjiang last time.
Gu Jie thought about it and finally focused on Jose.
On the one hand, even though Jose had a temper that she didn't like, he at least had real talent and learning.
On the one hand, Jose was also forced to leave Quan Jin, and Gu Jie planned to form an Avengers Alliance.
Just do what comes to mind, which is one of Gu Jie's few advantages. She made an appointment with Jose that night.
In a Japanese food store, Gu Jie greeted her with a smile, but Jose looked a little impatient.
"Some things can actually be discussed directly on the phone."
Gu Jie forced down the anger in her heart and forced out an indifferent smile.
"Some things cannot be explained clearly on the phone, just like the communication between us and our customers."
Jose didn't refute this time.
"Lawyer He, the tuna belly here is very fresh, you can try it." Gu Jie took the initiative to pick up some vegetables for Jose.
Jose just glanced at it, and then said firmly: "I won't eat any food after seven o'clock."
"Life always requires the courage to try, otherwise it will be very boring." Gu Jie pointedly said.
As a result, Jose didn't seem to understand her hint at all and replied.
"The nature of life is that it is boring."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I hate wasting time."
The veins on Gu Jie's forehead were about to explode, but she still forced herself to calm down.
"Okay, I plan to leave Quan Jin and start a new business, and you are the first partner I find."
After Gu Jie finished speaking, she kept staring at Jose to observe his expression. However, Jose's words almost broke Gu Jie's guard.
"Were you also kicked out by Qin Hao?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jose suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his words. He had resigned on his own initiative.
He quickly picked up the tea cup and pretended to drink tea to hide his embarrassment.
