Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 603: Chapter 397: Feng Xiang in Shambles

But this case...

Xu Liang is watching closely. Once the true intention behind Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s theft is discovered, no one has a chance of escaping, including myself!

Thinking of this.

Feng Xiang, though unwilling, can only restrain his thoughts and prepare to focus all his energy on the case.

"Let’s go."

Feng Xiang shook his head, then returned to his office, clocked out without saying much, and got off work.

...

Nine o’clock in the evening.

Feng Xiang lay on the bed in his bedroom, looking quite elegant in his silk pajamas.

However, at this moment Feng Xiang’s face was full of worry.

The series of events that happened this afternoon... made it really hard for him to pretend not to see.

"The first trial is about to commence, Zhang Mang leaving the firm, and also..."

Zhang Mang muttered, showing a touch of irritation between his brows.

"And also Jinhua Law Firm."

"Did Zhang Mang terminate the cooperation with Hailing and switch to developing with Jinhe?"

"This sudden situation, it seems Jinhe actively poached Zhang Mang."

"No past enmity nor recent grievances... what are they up to?"

Feng Xiang was lost in thought.

He didn’t understand.

That’s Jinhe Law Firm!

The largest law firm in Upper City, with hundreds of senior lawyers and countless elite teams!

This kind of law firm...

Would they value Zhang Mang’s resources?

They even resorted to strong-arm tactics to directly poach people...

"Did I offend them?"

Feng Xiang murmured while leaning against the headboard.

Though he’s uncertain of what’s Jinhe’s scheme, the pressure on his shoulders is immense!

With Zhang Mang gone...

The firm’s clientele could suddenly vanish by half, the first trial is imminent, and he even has to guard against Xu Liang, who’s shrewder than a fox.

Thinking this way.

Feng Xiang felt as if a ton of pressure was on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

In a trance...

Feng Xiang suddenly paused, looking at the bedside table, hesitated slightly, then reached out.

"Click!"

The drawer opened, and he pulled out some items from inside.

Quickly, he spread his hand, revealing a delicately styled but slightly wrinkled stamp.

Feng Xiang looked at the item and swallowed hard.

The bedroom fell silent.

....

The night passed quietly.

The next day.

Feng Xiang opened his eyes, seeing the flickering light above, bloodshot eyes unfolding.

He’d forgotten to turn off the light all night....

"Snap~"

Feng Xiang turned off the light, feeling a bit confused, reached out to rub his forehead, and then went to wash up.

After breakfast.

Feng Xiang got in the car and drove to Hailing Law Firm.

He still had to figure out how to resolve the ’Stamp Case’ committed by Sun Hu and Sun Biao without drawing attention.

Even if the two were sentenced to seven or eight years, or even over a decade, they could accept it!

But...

"Screech~"

Just as Feng Xiang pushed open the firm’s door, in a trance.

He looked at the scene in the lobby, stunned, then furrowed his brows.

"Lawyer Han? What’s going on...."

Looking around.

In the lobby, a man, dressed in a suit, was packing his things into a box on his desk.

Hearing the commotion.

Lawyer Han turned sideways to see Feng Xiang, paused, then expressed apologetically:

"Director Feng... I’m sorry... something’s come up back home, I have to terminate my contract with the firm and go back to handle it...."

Terminate... terminate!?

Feng Xiang’s heart suddenly skipped, as if it leaped to his throat!

Hailing Law Firm’s growth till now relied on the firm’s few Top-Notch Lawyers!

Lawyer Han was one of them!

You must understand, once these lawyers develop into Top-Notch Lawyers, they are no longer mere junior lawyers waiting for case assignments.

Much like sales champions, they hold a vast array of resources!

If poached... it’s an absolute blow to the firm!

"Lawyer Han, there’s no need to rush, terminating the contract is out of the question."

"If there’s an issue back home, the firm can simply give you leave."

Feng Xiang immediately stepped forward, pressing down Lawyer Han’s hands as he packed, and starting to comfort him.

At this.

Lawyer Han’s facial muscles froze awkwardly, yet he continued:

"No need, thank you for your kindness, Director Feng, but I’m sincere in wanting to terminate."

He hurriedly added another line.

"The cases at the firm I’ve already completed, and some major cases were handed over yesterday."

Yesterday?

Again, yesterday!?

Feng Xiang’s heart skipped a beat, recalling the scene of Zhang Mang leaving, and instinctively blurted out:

"It’s the Jinhe Law Firm, isn’t it!?"

"Lawyer Han, has someone from Jinhe Law Firm contacted you!?"

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Lawyer Han’s hand.

He spoke loudly.

Loud enough for everyone around to hear, and several people’s eyes glanced over occasionally, with doubt flickering in their eyes.

Lawyer Han’s face was slightly flushed, but he still opened his mouth to say:

"Director Feng, I really need to go home to handle some matters...."

But Feng Xiang was relentless, continuing:

"Lawyer Han, what offer did Jinhe Law Firm make to you?"

"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave, Hailing Law Firm can also negotiate with you!"

The voice was still very loud.

Now, more and more people were staring in this direction, even staring intently.

Lawyer Han’s face was painfully flushed, looking at Feng Xiang, feeling somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said:

"That’s right, it is Jinhe Law Firm!"

"Jinhe is promising a one-nine split on the case revenue after I join, the firm only takes ten percent!"

Ten percent!?

The crowd in the law hall was astonished.

It’s known that a three-seven split is already a contract that only ordinary top lawyers have.

This one-nine split... isn’t the firm just giving Lawyer Han money for free!?

"Hailing can do the same!"

Feng Xiang gritted his teeth, speaking with great effort to retain him.

Zhang Mang had left, and if another lawyer like Han walks away... the firm would truly be teetering!

"Forget it!"

Lawyer Han, however, didn’t give Feng Xiang any face at all, simply coming out with everything.

"There’s no comparison between Jinhe and Hailing!"

"With a one-nine split at Hailing... not to mention ninety percent, even with a full commission, it’s hard to say if I could make five hundred thousand on a big case!"

"But at Jinhe, they have international financial cases!"

"Not to mention ninety percent, even with seventy percent, a case could bring in millions, let alone the one-nine split!"

The voice fell, echoing in everyone’s ears.

The entire hall of people started discussing, obviously shocked by Jinhe’s generosity!

After all, financial cases are the resources of a law firm, a one-nine split... could entirely be the firm giving money to lawyers for free, especially when it’s Jinhe’s case, no wonder someone would leave...

Feng Xiang’s face immediately became extremely ugly.

Lawyer Han then took a deep breath, calming himself, and slowly said:

"Director Feng, as for any compensation needed in the contract... feel free to let me know."

"I’ll compensate you later."

With that.

Lawyer Han broke free from Feng Xiang’s hand and walked out with his box.

No one in the entire law hall dared to speak.

Only Feng Xiang stood there, his face changing colors frequently, sometimes black, other times green.

Until...

"Bang!"

Feng Xiang walked to the office and slammed the door with a loud noise.

"Jinhe!"

"How is it Jinhe again!"

The moment he walked in, Feng Xiang immediately burst into a flurry of curses, irrational, as his eyes glanced over the table and saw a teacup, instantly, anger surged from his heart, he violently smashed the teacup onto the ground.

"What the hell is Qian Feng trying to do!?"

"Is he trying to drive me to death!!!"

After a round of furious venting.

Feng Xiang slumped into the chair, panting heavily, feeling utterly exhausted.

His mind was in chaos, countless thoughts kept flying around.

Zhang Mang left, the first trial is imminent, Xu Liang is keeping a close watch on the case...

Now the pillar of the firm, Lawyer Han, has been poached away!

Hailing is just an empty shell left!!!

How should he solve this?

Feng Xiang just felt immensely irritable.

The more he thought, the more suffocating it felt, finally, even though his chest violently rose and fell, he only felt that his lungs were filled with carbon dioxide, not a bit of oxygen.

Until...

"Click!"

In a trance.

Feng Xiang suddenly opened his briefcase.

Revealing several brightly colored stamps inside.

He intended to take out some of them, but instead...

"How come there’s only this little left?"

Feng Xiang looked at the scattered ten stamps in his palm, hesitancy shown on his face.

But in a flash.

All those upsetting matters immediately surged up again, filling his eyes with a touch of impatience.

"Forget it, since they’ve been touched...."

Feng Xiang’s thought process on dealing with this changed again, muttering to himself.

"Might as well not waste them..."

"Just use them all!"
