Chapter 658 - 421: Administrative Case! Man-Made Scars!

Chapter 658: Chapter 421: Administrative Case! Man-Made Scars!

"You know that lawyer!?"

Li Jian spoke with disbelief, his mouth agape and his face full of incredulity.

Last night’s news... let’s put it this way.

Li Jian definitely couldn’t miss it!

Not to mention that watching the news is a required course for law students, even if he didn’t watch it, others would pull him in for discussions, and thus he would become aware of this case indirectly.

13.24 tons!

This figure left him with a lifelong impression; Li Jian never imagined such a number could appear within the Eastern Country... in a case like this.

Of course, what concerned him even more was...

’Traces discovered from a stamp, immediately contacting Upper City police...’

What does this mean?

It means absolute insight, and a very strong talent for criminal investigation!

And what kind of people am I missing?

"You aren’t joking!?"

Li Jian widened his eyes, shocked as he looked at the other party.

Seeing his uncle like this... Li Tao had an approximate idea of how urgent the other party was, so he didn’t dawdle and immediately said:

"Uncle, I know him, but not very well."

"Haha, knowing him is good, knowing him is good!"

Li Jian laughed heartily, feeling refreshed, but then he hesitated again.

Although his nephew knew the person, if they’re not familiar, at most they could only exchange a few words.

"Do you know him well? Is this lawyer... willing to provide legal aid?"

He frowned and asked solemnly.

Seeing this.

Li Tao initially wanted to directly say that he would agree.

After all, Xu Liang himself already has that kind of intention, it’s just that...

Looking at his anxious uncle, Li Tao paused for a moment, watched his uncle’s anxious expression, then thought slightly, and immediately...

"Sigh~"

Li Tao sighed deeply, which immediately made Li Jian anxious.

The next second, he heard him say:

"Uncle Jian, Lawyer Xu, he... sigh..."

Seeing this, Li Jian twitched at the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and urged: "What happened to him!?"

"Lawyer Xu is planning to relocate his practice to Upper City. The address has been confirmed, it’s just that... you know, for a law firm, the most important thing is the source of cases!"

"Because of the ’Stamp Case’, he has wasted a whole month in Upper City!"

A month ago, he planned to move to Upper City.

Ended up wasting a month... if he were to accept legal aid, wouldn’t that... waste at least another month and a half!?

By then, it would be New Year’s, and the practice wouldn’t have been relocated... it’d be kind of a joke.

"This... indeed is a bit troublesome."

Li Jian hesitated, showing doubt in his expression and began to ponder.

But then he paused for a moment, shifted his thoughts, and said:

"As for case sources... Xiao Tao, how about this?"

"Tell that... Lawyer Xu not to worry about case sources, just let the practice cooperate with the Law Association!"

"The Law Association doesn’t lack for anything but cases!"

The Law Association indeed has many cases, but the problem is...

It doesn’t make money!

Li Tao looked at Li Jian with a disdainful gaze, which made Li Jian’s old face blush, and he quickly added another point.

"I haven’t finished yet!"

"The Law Association has some relatively easy cases... I can pass them to Lawyer Xu, and whether to accept them... depends entirely on his thinking."

Upon hearing this.

Li Tao’s face still showed a conflicted expression.

"Uncle, you should know how many people watched the news yesterday..."

If Xu Liang is willing to take on the risk and publicly announce that he’s the plaintiff’s lawyer for the ’Stamp Case’, then Upper City will have a bunch of people lining up with cases to find him!

Li Jian thought realistically.

Although he doesn’t know the specific situation, he really thinks it would be like this.

After pondering for a moment, he continued:

"Upper City... recently several companies’ legal departments are recruiting; the salary is quite generous, you see..."

Legal department?

Li Tao’s eyes lit up; after all, a company with a legal department isn’t a small company, and every lawsuit fought can earn a hefty commission!

But while thinking this, he still hesitantly spoke:

"Legal department... just eating a salary purely..."

Li Jian thought for a moment and continued:

"There are also a few financial contracts... but none are large, with each single one being hundreds of thousands only, if willing, also..."

Li Tao was eager, probing for the bottom line.

"Just hundreds of thousands, if Lawyer Xu spends a month and a half fighting a financial case, he could probably earn lots of hundreds of thousands!"

Li Jian then fell into deep thought, his mind soon got an answer, excitedly said:

"Campus recruitment!"

"New practice entering Upper City must be lacking in manpower!"

"Currently, campus recruitment at larger universities is beginning, and outside practices have basically no connections, but I can introduce him!"

"Whether it’s Shuimu University, or Upper City University, as long as it’s in Upper City, every year at fall recruitment he can be at the forefront!"

This represents a continuous influx of capable newcomers.

Any practice wouldn’t refuse!

But...

"Forget it!"

Li Tao’s expression suddenly changed.

Almost got himself burned while lighting the fire!

Just kidding, the matter of his own employment at the practice is still uncertain; enlarging the competition range to all of Upper City... isn’t that creating trouble for himself!

"Of course, I mean this year’s fall recruitment should be skipped."

"Next time, from next year, summer recruitment and fall recruitment, you arrange it then."

Li Tao nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Jian sighed in relief; he wouldn’t know what else to offer if it continued.

"Alright, uncle, you keep busy first, I’ll call Lawyer Xu and ask."

Li Tao stood up.

Saying this, he pulled out his phone from his pocket, not leaving the office.

"Of course, whether Lawyer Xu agrees... that I can’t guarantee."
