Lawyer's character

After receiving the commission on the legal fees for the Hu Weijun case, Fang Yi called Zhou Shen and asked him for a bank account, preparing to transfer his portion of the commission.

Zhou Shen knew that the law firm had to deduct 40% of the legal fees. After deducting the personal income tax, Fang Yi actually got more than 50,000 yuan, so he only took 20% of the legal fees (20,000 yuan) as a case. Source introduction fee.

When Zhou Shen cooperates with the criminal team of Jinshi Law Firm, he is responsible for providing the source of the case, and the criminal team is responsible for handling the case. Because the cases recommended by Zhou Shen are sporadic and unstable, the legal fees are divided between the two parties.

This time, Zhou Shen only charged 20% of the legal fees according to the market price. On the one hand, he took care of Fang Yi out of the relationship between his brothers. On the other hand, and most importantly, he still wanted to bring Fang Yi into the process later. own team.

In mid-June, Fang Yi moved to the city. Originally, Li Shuming wanted to free up a staff dormitory for him to live in Huihuang. However, Fang Yi felt that living in Li Shuming's Huihuang would delay his business, and now that he had some money in his pocket, renting a house was not a problem. , so he rented a one-bedroom apartment in an old community near Jinshi Law Firm.

Fang Yi's request to Li Shuming soon came back, and Fang Anzhi was assigned to the Experimental Middle School. He only had to report to the Experimental Middle School after the semester started in September.

Cao Xiaohui didn't expect that Fang Yi would actually accomplish what she had been trying to do for a long time, and it was an experimental middle school with a high admission rate. She couldn't help but be surprised.

The Experimental Middle School is a key middle school in the city. It is much better than the County No. 1 Middle School. It is very strict in recruiting new students every year. There are many parents who want to send their children to study through connections. Although the Experimental Middle School is not as good as the number one foreign language school , but it is still very popular and not accessible to ordinary students.

For this reason, Fang Yi specially treated Li Shuming to a "big meal", which included a box of beer, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of soy donkey meat. The two drank for half the night.

On this day, Fang Yi was wearing a dark suit, carrying a dark cowhide briefcase (a brand-name bag given by Li Shuming to congratulate him on entering the city's law firm), and wearing shiny leather boots that he polished in the morning, and walked into the Jinshi Law Firm. door.

In order to make a good impression on his boss, Fang Yi went to the hair salon yesterday and spent dozens of dollars on a haircut. Although it only took about twenty minutes to walk from his residence to the law firm, he got up very early, and after breakfast, he spent more than an hour before going out.

The little girl at the front desk of the law firm took Fang Yi to Gu Datong's office. Gu Datong was busy reading the documents, and after a brief chat with Fang Yi, he handed him over to a girl in her twenties named Mei Xiaoting, and asked her to introduce Fang Yi to the team members for a dinner party in the evening. Welcome Fang Yi to join.

Fang Yi saw that Mei Xiaoting was petite, pretty, had a festive baby face, and seemed easy to talk to, so he asked her about the team's situation.

"Lawyer Fang, how many years have you been practicing?" Mei Xiaoting asked while taking Fang Yi to the team's workstation.

"I have been a full-time lawyer for two years. I have been teaching in schools and working as a part-time lawyer." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, then you must be very theoretical and an academic lawyer." Mei Xiaoting said.

Fang Yi smiled slightly and said nothing, thinking: After spending so many years in the university, he has not made any achievements, and his academic theory is almost in ruins.

The two came to the public office area of ​​Jinshi Law Firm. Fang Yi looked around. There were many workstations arranged in rows. The first workstation in each row was posted with a sign, marking a certain team or a certain team. a certain department.

The workstation is relatively spacious, so two people can work without feeling crowded. The partition is also relatively high, so you can't see the person opposite you after sitting down.

Fang Yi followed Mei Xiaoting to the workstation of Gu Datong's team. Just then, a female lawyer in her thirties with a poker face came over and asked coldly: "Xiaoting, did you finish the due diligence on the project yesterday?" Is the report finished?"

"Not yet, I'm working on it. A new colleague is here today. The boss asked me to bring him over and get to know everyone." Mei Xiaoting seemed a little afraid of poker faces and seemed a little reserved.

"New colleague?" The poker face followed Mei Xiaoting's eyes and looked at Fang Yi, looking up and down.

Mei Xiaoting hurriedly introduced: "Lawyer Sima, this is Lawyer Fang Yifang. Lawyer Fang, this is Lawyer Sima Jun. He is good at non-litigation business. He is the leader of our team's non-litigation business..."

"Hello, Lawyer Fang, welcome to join our team." Before Mei Xiaoting could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Sima Jun. Lawyer Sima said welcoming words, but his tone sounded cold.

"Hello, Lawyer Sima." Fang Yi said with a smile. When they first met, he didn't like Sima Jun very much, but he couldn't say he disliked her. He just didn't want to talk to her more.

Sima Jun nodded and left in a hurry.

Seeing Sima Jun leaving, Mei Xiaoting shrank her neck and made a face, then led Fang Yi towards a male lawyer who was lying on the table reading documents.

"Lawyer Zhou, excuse me. This is Lawyer Fang Yifang, a new lawyer in our team. She specializes in litigation business." Mei Xiaoting introduced.

Lawyer Zhou raised his head, adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, Lawyer Fang, Zhou Yunyuan, we will be a family from now on. Welcome." His smile made people feel warm.

"Hello, Lawyer Zhou. I will definitely trouble you in the future." Fang Yi said politely.

"Lawyer Zhou is good at non-litigation and litigation business. Now in the team, he mainly focuses on non-litigation business. By the way, Boss Gu said we would have dinner together in the evening." Mei Xiaoting said playfully. At this time, Mei Xiaoting seemed much more lively.

"Really, then I have to get the report out quickly, otherwise the client will be calling all day long, like urging me to order, and I won't be able to eat well at night." Zhou Yunyuan said excitedly: "Lawyer Fang, I'm sorry. I’ll talk to you after I finish the report.”

"You are busy first, excuse me..." Fang Yi knew that working in a team was not easy, so he did not dare to waste Lawyer Zhou's time any more.

"Lawyer Fang, let me take you to meet Xie You, the second oldest person in the team, and Lawyer Xie. Xie Laokou... I'm sorry, Lawyer Xie is in charge of litigation. Currently, he is responsible for all the litigation business of the team. After you join the team , most likely in charge of litigation business together with him." Mei Xiaoting murmured in a low voice.

"How are you, Lawyer Xie?" Fang Yi asked as he walked.

"He is a very nice person. Apart from being a bit old-fashioned and taking advantage of others, he doesn't have any major flaws." Mei Xiaoting whispered: "He has a nickname, Xie Laokou, and everyone usually calls him that in private. , I’m all used to it.”

"Xie Lao Kou?!" Fang Yi looked at Mei Xiaoting doubtfully.

"Although he is usually fastidious, he has a lot of ideas, and his brain is flexible and fast. He is better than a monkey at sticking hair. Although we are younger than him, we really can't keep up with him when it comes to using our brains, whether it's upright or crooked. Yes, he can do it all!" Mei Xiaoting whispered.
