Chapter 727 Barrister with Bottom Line and Principles
"It's okay, hehe, you're in trouble?" Lawyer Ling asked with concern in his soft voice.
Chunyu didn't want Lawyer Ling to know that he was in a bad mood because of him, so he lowered his head and said, "Hehe, some things at work." ”
"What's the matter, do you need my help?" Lawyer Ling's concern for Chunyu seems to be beyond that of ordinary friends, and he will take the initiative and be very willing to solve problems for Chunyu.
Chunyu shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just a trivial matter, and you don't need a barrister to come forward, haha." ”
Lawyer Ling was relieved when he saw Chunyu's smile again, "Thank you for coming to pick me up." ”
"What's polite, the relationship between the two of us, don't be so polite. ”
"Uh...... What's our relationship?"
Chunyu heard Lawyer Ling suddenly ask such an untouchable question, her face turned red, and she couldn't answer for a long time: "Eh...... Good friend relationship, okay, okay, let's go, parking is very expensive here. ”
Chunyu found a reason to make Lawyer Ling cry and laugh to resolve the embarrassment, and Lawyer Ling followed behind Chunyu, as if he could see Chunyu's shyness from behind.
Chunyu drove her own car to the provincial capital to pick up Lawyer Ling, and she didn't dare to turn her face to look at Lawyer Ling along the way, but Lawyer Ling took the initiative to chat with Chunyu.
"By the way, what exactly is the matter of the poem you told me on the phone before?" Lawyer Ling asked about Tang Xishi.
Chunyu saw that Lawyer Ling was quite attentive to the things entrusted to her, and took the initiative to chat as soon as she came back, and was very satisfied: "Shishi was introduced by Mr. Liu, because she worked in the bar before, and the boss often asked her to accompany some guests to drink, which was beyond the original work content, and she couldn't stand the work pressure, so Mr. Liu asked her to come to work in our Roman, but the bar owner over there refused to let her go, warning her that if she left, she would have to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages." ”
"So did she breach the contract?" Lawyer Ling then asked.
Chunyu recalled the details that Liu Chen had told her, and said to Lawyer Ling unreservedly: "We have learned that the bar did not give Shishi a formal contract, and the signed contract was withdrawn by the bar, and some terms of the contract are not very clear, there may be concealment and deception, in the actual work process, the bar manager will ask Shishi to accompany the wine and have some other excessive requirements, which is against the will of the workers." ”
As soon as Lawyer Ling heard it, he heard the loopholes: "The behavior of that bar is a typical illegal act, they must be untenable in law, using some deception and concealment means to get workers to sign contracts, and then using intimidation and threats to scare Shishi who does not understand the law, don't worry, I know this matter in my heart, Shishi will definitely leave that bar smoothly." ”
Chunyu smiled excitedly: "Well, with you, a barrister, coming out, I will put a hundred hearts." ”
After opening the chatterbox, the two chatted more closely, and chatted all the way to Jiangxia, where Chunyu brought Lawyer Ling directly to the Roman Club.
Lawyer Ling thought that Chunyu was going to take him to visit the current Roman, and followed him around, but he hadn't seen him for a while, and Roman had changed dramatically in a short period of time, and he found a very surprising thing, Chunyu took him into the chairman's office.
After Lawyer Ling entered the door, he asked, "Mr. Liu is not here today?"
Chunyu walked to the water dispenser to make tea for Lawyer Ling, and replied, "Mr. Liu will not come in the future." ”
Lawyer Ling looked back at Chunyu in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Chunyu came to Lawyer Ling with a teacup, and after handing over the tea, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the plaque behind the desk, and said with a smile: "This will be my office from now on." ”
Lawyer Ling was shocked again: "What? What the hell is going on? You are the chairman of Roman???
"Yes, an accident?"
"Although I know your ability, but you are still so young, and Roman has Mr. Liu in charge, why did you become the chairman?
"I was also surprised, this was all arranged by Mr. Liu, and a huge change happened to Roman during this time. Chunyu described a series of recent events to Roman and Liu Chen's various arrangements for Roman to Lawyer Ling in detail.
Lawyer Ling was dumbfounded, although he has taken over countless cases of corporate disputes, but like Liu Chen, he can smoothly get out of his shell without leaking, and almost perfectly design every link, this public opinion turmoil has almost no negative impact on Roman, and the work of the company's operation is still carried out as usual, which is rare, I have to say that Liu Chen is really a genius who is good at design, and his ideas can always be ahead of anyone.
Chunyu turned around and took out a letter of appointment from the cabinet behind his desk and handed it to Lawyer Ling, who was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this?"
Chunyu said respectfully and formally: "On behalf of the Roman Club, I officially hire you as our perennial legal counsel. ”
Lawyer Ling was puzzled: "Didn't Mr. Liu already hire me before?"
Chunyu explained: "That time he hired you on behalf of the stars, and this time it was Roman who hired you, and it was a letter of appointment signed by me. ”
Lawyer Ling opened the letter of appointment, looked at the employment agreement inside, and found that the consulting fee was 2 million yuan a year, which greatly exceeded his expectations, and he hurriedly refused: "I can't accept this letter of appointment." ”
"Why? Is it not enough for the consultants? If it is not enough, it can be increased. Chunyu thought that Lawyer Ling chose to refuse because of the cost issue, and decided to increase the price without hesitation, and she made up her mind to keep Lawyer Ling.
Lawyer Ling was afraid that Chunyu would misunderstand, so he shook his head and said: "No, it's too much, I usually work as a consultant in other companies, more than 1 million a year is too much, your 2 million is too much, not to mention that we are good friends, I can't accept this price." ”
Chunyu, who was just about to rise a little disappointed, suddenly became pleasantly surprised, and she also explained the reason why she offered a high price: "Mr. Liu once told me that the legal and financial costs cannot be saved, which are the two most critical places in the company, and the problems are generally here, so in order to ensure that our Roman does not have any legal problems, I think 2 million is not too much." ”
Chunyu's reason is very reasonable, if the average lawyer may have been impatient to accept this unbelievably high price, but Lawyer Ling still did not accept it.
Mr. Ling looked at the numbers on the employment agreement and said, "I usually measure the value of the services I pay from my own perspective, so I still think that this number is still too large, otherwise it will be reduced to 1.2 million." ”
Chunyu couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, I've only heard of a lawyer who asks for a price increase, and it's the first time I've seen a lawyer who asks for a price reduction for myself, so you have opened my eyes." ”
Lawyer Ling pursed his lips and smiled: "I hope that what I get is equal to the value I give, if I was only for money, I would not be what I am now." ”
"I heard that there was a rich man who broke the law and asked you to defend him with a lot of money, but you refused, because you didn't want to violate your bottom line of value, I was still skeptical before, but after today, I completely believe that you are such a special person. ”
"Chunyu, you have won the award, in fact, I just follow my own heart, everyone has their own value bottom line and principles of doing things. ”
"Okay, I'll change it now. Chunyu revised the electronic version of the employment agreement on the computer, and then printed it out.
Lawyer Ling got a new agreement, and the fee on it was reduced from 2 million to 1.2 million, and he didn't read the other contents, he directly picked up the signature pen in the pen holder and signed his name in a dashing manner: Ling Shichen.
Mr. Ling now serves as the legal counsel of two companies in Jiangxia, namely Xingchen Sand Field and Roman Club, and since then his business in Jiangxia has been closely linked with Liu Chen.
Chunyu took out his mobile phone to call Liu Chen and report to him about Lawyer Ling's return and the completion of the formal employment task.
Liu Chen was very satisfied with Chunyu's quick movements, and he wanted to invite Lawyer Ling to have a meal with him, but Lawyer Ling said that he would not eat this meal until the matter was done, so Liu Chen asked Chunyu to cooperate with Lawyer Ling to deal with Tang Xishi's matter.
Chunyu and Lawyer Ling first contacted Tang Xishi and agreed to meet at the food stalls.
People come and go, there is no one in the food stalls during the day, when Chunyu and Lawyer Ling arrived, Tang Xishi was waiting at the door, and when she saw the two of them coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Sister Chunyu, you're here. Tang Xishi ran forward, nodded to Chunyu and said hello, then moved his gaze to the man wearing glasses and a scholarly temperament next to him: "This is the famous lawyer Ling." ”
Lawyer Ling stretched out his hand and shook hands with Tang Xishi: "Yes, I am Ling Shichen, hello." ”
Being able to shake hands with the barrister, Tang Xishi was nervous, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Hello Lawyer Ling, my name is Tang Xishi." ”
Lawyer Ling saw that Tang Xishi was a little nervous, so he joked: "I have heard that Miss Tang is beautiful for a long time, and when I see it today, she is really like her name, haha." ”
"Lawyer Ling has won the award, hehe, by the way, go to the house to talk. Tang Xishi led them to the back room of the food stall.
The back room of the food stall is a single room, usually too late to live in this room, although the inside is relatively simple, but the furniture is readily available.
"It's a little shabby, and I'm going to leave it at that. Tang Xishi took out two chairs and moved them over, wiped the dust on them, and said embarrassedly.
Chunyu hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's very convenient to live here." As he spoke, he placed another chair in front of Lawyer Ling.
