Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 657: Chapter 420: Recommendation! [Double Chapter, Please Vote!]

He felt somewhat excited inside, and shouted loudly.

’It’s confirmed!’

He predicted that Xu Liang wouldn’t recruit more than seven people this time.

Meanwhile, the opponent had at least dozens of resumes... all students from Upper City University, not to mention other colleges possibly recruiting too, the competitive pressure is undeniable!

Not to mention anything else, just from those few glances earlier, he already saw several familiar faces.

They were all people who regularly won scholarships!

And for him to quickly secure a spot among them...

Li Tao felt invigorated, completely ignoring the murderous looks from his classmates around him.

’Strength, this is my strength!’

Naturally, Xu Liang didn’t know what he was thinking inside, but he showed the same smile on his face before speaking:

"Great, thank you for the trouble."

"Please, junior, help me introduce, of course... to facilitate friendly cooperation from both sides."

"Our law firm can also take on some cases that other firms don’t dare to handle!"

Li Tao felt a bit surprised.

"Alright!"

He readily agreed.

Why?

Because if the opponent hadn’t said this before, Li Tao would have owed Li Jian a favor, but after saying this... it’s Li Jian who needs to thank him!

As we know, while the Law Association assigns cases, there are always some tricky minor cases that, even if forcefully given to individuals, they still don’t want to take on. At this point, to avoid the opponent ’slacking off,’ they have to find someone again, but others aren’t much better either.

And the court requires a lawyer...

At this point, the Law Association is literally caught in a bind at both ends, Xu Liang brought up this condition...

If I pass this on, Li Jian will only feel surprised and thus owe me a favor!

"Indeed, following the right person can save ten years of detours!"

"Lawyer Xu, Tao has drifted for many years without meeting a wise leader, today meeting Lawyer Xu... If you do not abandon me, I am willing to work for you, senior!"

Li Tao exclaimed with excitement.

This is the boss he was looking for, not the law firm that wants to bleed him dry!

"It’s good you have this awareness." Xu Liang showed some gratification.

Li Tao remained silent and immediately walked out.

"Lawyer Xu, I’ll contact my uncle, at the latest, I’ll give you a reply by tomorrow night."

After saying this, he hurriedly walked out.

Inside the recruitment event.

Looking at his departing figure...

Qian Feng was grinding his teeth to pieces!

’Mine... this person should have been mine!’

Qian Feng roared inwardly.

He had connections with the Law Association too, but they were always maintained with money, whereas Li Tao had ’deep blood ties’...

This should have been him and Li Jian strengthening their alliance, but now...

’Animal... animal!’

Qian Feng’s face was changing unpredictably, and in a daze, he turned and whispered to Zhang Hao:

"Keep an eye on the Law Association, check what cases will be given."

Zhang Hao’s eyes froze, then he nodded.

He knew what he had to do.

Sniping!

No matter how skilled Xu Liang is... he can’t possibly challenge the entire Jinhe Law Firm alone!

Qian Feng initially planned to use the four-month gap to wear the opponent out, but the prime-time slot, official media ads giving the opponent publicity, was an unexpected obstacle.

With this setup, Xu Liang wouldn’t lack anything!

If he manages to solve administrative cases and gains a foothold in Upper City... it would be hard not to become a significant threat!

Qian Feng’s eyes narrowed fiercely:

"Strike early!"

Zhang Hao nodded, "Alright."

As for Xu Liang’s side...

After Li Tao left.

The remaining dozen or so students looked at each other, none daring to hand in their resume first.

Until...

Fatty Sun suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

Then he looked at Xu Liang with sincere emotion:

"Lawyer Xu, to be honest..."

"I also have considerable family assets!"

Xu Liang showed an expression of surprise.

"Another ace!?"

...

...

The next day.

November 8th.

In Upper City, a roughly six or seven-story independent building stood with the words ’Upper City Bar Association’ in red.

On the sixth floor.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Come in."

The door of an office was pushed open, and a man around thirty entered.

Inside the office.

Fifty-year-old Li Jian capped the pen in hand, looked up at the person who came in, rubbed his brow, and sighed:

"How’s the case in the east of the city?"

Upon hearing.

The man who walked in shook his head, "Still nothing."

Li Jian’s frown deepened.

"Tsk, why hasn’t it....."

He felt a slight headache.

An egregious case occurred in Upper City, classified as an ’administrative case.’

The case... is very complex, a few words can’t explain it clearly.

In short, if someone were to take it on... they would face dual pressure from both the authorities and private companies, and the case itself is minor, not enough to gain fame.

At the same time, it’s legal aid, with only a few hundred bucks for the service fee...

The pressure is high, there’s no fame, no money, the time cycle is long... you could say it’s a full stack of negative buffs, and there’s no one willing to take it!

"You go ask around more law firms."

Li Jian shook his head and said to him.

The man nodded at the words, "Okay."

With that said.

He then left the office, leaving Li Jian alone in the chair.

Watching this scene, Li Jian displayed a tongue-clicking expression on his face.

The president of the Bar Association is generally either a career or a part-time position.

He’s part-time, with an annual salary of 150,000.

Yes, over ten thousand a month!

Sounds like a lot, even put 26 years later, it’s several times many people’s salary.

But here’s the problem.

This is Upper City, and he’s the president of the Upper City Bar Association!

To be honest, 120,000... If Li Jian wanted, he could randomly find a company that owes a contract and get countless 120,000s.

"Ah, unfortunately, my own Bar Association can’t take it..."

Li Jian sighed, leaning back in the chair, pondering.

This case that no one wants to take...

Besides the reasons mentioned above, there’s another factor that makes lawyers retreat, and that is that the victim... is incapable of communicating!

That’s right, literally, the victim can’t communicate with the representative.

According to the hospital examination, the victim... had their tongue twisted, fingers cut, can’t hear, and can’t see.

The senses are completely blocked!

Some lawyers who wanted to try were dumbfounded after getting this news, not knowing how to start.

And Li Jian has a strong sense of responsibility... or rather, a strong sense of justice, otherwise, he wouldn’t be worrying about this for so little money.

So he really wants to find a lawyer for the victim.

But given the victim’s condition.....

Let’s put it this way, even if someone does take it, Li Jian would still be worried, because this case requires not only professional ability but also a very strong talent for criminal investigation!

But if someone truly has talent in criminal investigation, who would still dare to be a lawyer....

Just as the office fell into silence.

In a daze, suddenly a voice knocked on his door.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Uncle! Uncle! I’m here to see you!"

The voice was loud, and Li Jian was instantly startled awake, looking up.

He saw a familiar young man grinning cheekily as he walked up to him.

"Uncle, how have you been lately?"

Li Tao asked cheerfully.

Though their family is wealthy, they aren’t lacking in human warmth, rather it’s quite rich.

"You kid, so disrespectful, not even knocking...

Li Jian gathered his thoughts and looked at him with slight helplessness.

"Hey, it’s because I miss you, uncle!"

Li Tao, with a thick skin, dragged a stool next to him and sat down, winking as he said:

"Uncle, I heard... the Bar Association recently came across a case that no one wants?"

"Do you have someone in mind?"

After saying this.

Li Jian revealed a hint of surprise, sizing up the other party, and asked suspiciously:

"How do you know about this, kid?"

Upon hearing this.

Li Tao was suddenly stunned.

There really is such a thing!

He was just trying to probe, didn’t expect it to be true...

Li Tao’s eyes turned, and then he continued cheerfully:

"Uncle, do you want me to introduce a lawyer to you?"

Introduce a lawyer?

Li Jian was a bit amused, looking at his junior, somewhat helpless.

This kid is still a student, and his usual social interactions are with people his age, what could he introduce?

"No need, this case is quite tricky."

"Both judicial expertise and criminal investigation talent are indispensable, you shouldn’t bother with it."

Li Jian shook his head and said.

"If it really doesn’t work... I’ll arrange a few easier cases for you."

"That’s nonsense!"

Li Tao was very displeased with this remark and paused, showing a smiling face.

"Uncle, did you see yesterday’s news?"

News... what news?

He was stunned for a moment, and then, as if he remembered something...

"You mean... the Stamp case?"

Li’s expression changed, his eyes opened wide, and he showed a look of shock, incredulously saying:

"You know the lawyer for that case, kid!?"
