Today is the day when the public interest lawsuit of the "drug runway" of the No. 4 Middle School in Jingang City will be heard again, and at 10 o'clock in the morning, the sun is shining and the sky is clear, which is a rare good weather in Tianjin and Hong Kong.

"What a sunny day. Wu Kaiming sat in the back seat of Cayenne, in a good mood. In the past nearly a month, he has made a multi-line layout, and finally completed the final blow of victory before the reopening of the trial, and "swept out" his beloved apprentice Zhang Ruiming. Yesterday, he repeatedly confirmed the news of Zhang Ruiming's suspension for investigation through an insider, until he saw a line of keywords on the secretly photographed red-headed document - "Comrade Zhang Ruiming's post as deputy chief of the Civil Affairs Section of the Jingang City Procuratorate will be suspended from now on", and Wu Kaiming's heart fell to the ground.

From Wu Kaiming's point of view, Zhang Ruiming has been excluded from this trial, and Wu Aimei's side has already been arranged, and all that remains is to clean up Li Wei and the "beautiful vase" Zhang Liang in today's trial. Even if the nature of public interest litigation determines that it is difficult to overturn the trial and make a counterclaim, as long as he insists on the "protracted battle" and survives the appointment documents for President Chen, this case will be a complete victory.

Thinking of his various layouts, he has today's trial in his chest, and for this victory, even his beloved apprentice Zhang Ruiming is also regarded as a "dead soul under the knife", for the sacrifice of Zhang Ruiming, Wu Kaiming's love for talent is faintly troubled, and the battle-hardened old lawyer has a trace of unbearable in his heart.

Wu Kaiming couldn't help but think: "It's a pity that a good seedling, if only he was willing to go back to his side." "Zhang Ruiming is the same as himself, with a solid legal business, a flexible head, communication skills, and a plan layout, if he can recruit this child into his command, he can be regarded as a successor, let him come to his own law firm to carry the beams, cultivate well, he can also hide behind the scenes, ready to close the mountain.

"I don't know how this kid is feeling now, he has been hit like this, maybe this is the right time to talk to him, take advantage of the fact that he is at a low point, give him an offer that he can't refuse, and pull him over. ”

Wu Kaiming thought of it, and took out his mobile phone to call Zhang Ruiming.

"Hello, your call is temporarily unavailable. A sweet female voice came from the other end of the phone. Wu Kaiming hung up the phone and fell into thought, "Is Zhang Ruiming now under investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and his mobile phone has been collected?" Or does he think that I am the mastermind behind his suspension, and he still holds a grudge against me and does not answer my calls. Thinking of this, Wu Kaiming had some worries about the smooth recruitment of Zhang Ruiming in the future.

At this time, the vehicle had already driven into the gate of the Jingang Intermediate People's Court, and a group of media gathered around the gate.

As soon as Wu Kaiming got out of the car, the media's long guns and short cannons stretched out. Wu Kaiming has seen a lot of this kind of scene, and after a long battle, he naturally smiled at many media reporters, but he didn't answer any of the microphones that came over.

"Lawyer Wu, could you please talk about why your school has not taken the harm seriously in this public interest lawsuit?"

"Lawyer Wu, does that leukemia patient have anything to do with the pollution of the "toxic runway"?"

"We are reporters from the "Voice of Tianjin and Hong Kong", so let's ask a few simple questions......

Wu Kaiming's expression was free, but he was a little annoyed in his heart, most of the media who came this time were official media, and it was obvious that his position was unfavorable to his side, and it seemed that someone had instigated a media offensive.

Zhang Ruiming has been kicked out, could it be that Li Wei, impossible, Li Wei is......

While thinking about it, Wu Kaiming, escorted by his assistants, broke through the encirclement of various media and rushed into the trial building.

…………

It is still the familiar Fourth Trial Court of the Jingang Intermediate People's Court, Wu Kaiming can't help but look at the plaintiff's seat opposite while sorting out the case file, and behind the sign of "Public Interest Litigation Plaintiff" are Li Wei wearing gold wire glasses and Zhang Liang with a tender face. Zhang Ruiming did not appear in the prosecutor's seat, Wu Kaiming secretly laughed in his heart that he was getting older, and his suspicions were getting heavier and heavier, and he was so jealous of an apprentice who had just become a defeated general under him.

Zhang Ruiming did not appear at the trial, which was within Wu Kaiming's plan and unexpected to him. He understands that he is an apprentice, Zhang Ruiming has a rare emotional color of legal people, interest checks and balances, bargaining, and risk aversion, which is Wu Kaiming's personal more respected and commonly used way of thinking, and the vast majority of all kinds of legal people he has come into contact with in his long life are also dominated by rational thinking.

And Zhang Ruiming is different, he has a stubbornness, this dedication is the belief in the law, the pursuit of public welfare, in many cases, his beloved disciple will not consider the benefit of weighing, risk avoidance or anything, he is dedicated to maintaining the public welfare, when he was in his own law firm before, Zhang Ruiming was only a trainee lawyer, a year actually handled nearly 100 legal aid cases, and even took the initiative to go to the Legal Aid Center of the Bureau of Justice to "ask for cases", which was regarded as an outlier by many peers. The Bureau of Justice is also happy to relax, and as soon as people with financial difficulties or special cases come to them, they directly recommend Zhang Ruiming as an agent to the parties, and the legal aid cases assigned to the Dazheng Law Firm are also rising.

Wu Kaiming was also inexplicable about Zhang Ruiming's enthusiasm for legal aid, one day, he finally stopped Zhang Ruiming who was running crazy outside in the office, at this time Zhang Ruiming was just a young man who had just walked out of the gate of Western University, he was wearing a running gray puff that could not see the old and new professional suits, and he was wearing a police belt worn by the political and legal system when he was studying at Western University, and his short hair was cut and long, unkempt, beads of sweat were left from his cheeks, and his tired chest was attached to his back, which looked like a young lawyer under Wu Kaiming, and he looked like a migrant worker in the city。

Except for a pair of eyes, they were bright and sharp eyes that Wu Kaiming remembered deeply, reminiscent of the lighthouse that pierced the fog on the sea of Jingang.

Wu Kaiming stopped him, and scolded him: "Run, run, run all day long, what kind of garbage case, you can't get any oil and water, look at you like this, you are coming back from the construction site!?

Zhang Ruiming, who was only 23 years old at the time, smirked and said, "Master, I really just came back from the construction site, no, there is a work-related injury claim who will go to Guangzhou to collect evidence." I can do it alone, Master, don't worry. After finishing speaking, he walked out, and as soon as he took a step, he was pulled by Wu Kaiming, who was half a head taller than him.

"Ruiming, I'm really disappointed in you. Wu Kaiming's tone suddenly became sluggish, and seeing that the master's expression changed, Zhang Ruiming stopped and listened carefully to the master's words.

"Come with me. ”

Wu Kaiming pulled him out into the corridor, it was the summer of 2007, when Wu Kaiming, Liao Cai, and Zhang Ruiming were still looking for a small office on Dongfeng Road in the old town of Jingang. Wu Kaiming also didn't want others in the institute to hear the conversation, so he brought this boy outside to lecture.

"What do you think is the law?" Wu Kaiming threw Zhang Ruiming a clueless question, and threw him a Yuxi cigarette by the way.

Zhang Ruiming was silent for a while, took a puff of cigarette, and replied slowly: "Master, I see that you are very serious today, I won't memorize textbooks with you, I personally think that the law is the key to distinguishing people from animals, it is the transfer of private power by everyone, it is the law that allows human beings to live collectively, it is the product of human evolution, it is the collection of public power, and it is the ultimate principle of justice." ”

After listening to this, Wu Kaiming said with a smile: "Sure enough, I guessed that you would answer like this, you are a typical naïve natural law school view, attaching importance to the objective basis and value goal of the existence of law, that is, human nature, reason, justice, freedom, equality, order, and so on. ”

Zhang Ruiming is also stupid after listening to it, he and Wu Kaiming are very familiar, knowing that the master scolds a person, which means that he has deep feelings for this, if he is always polite, it is a manifestation that the two are not familiar enough.

"Let me tell you, in official terms, law is the sum total of the rules of conduct formulated or approved by the state and which everyone must abide by, and it is a special system of social norms that reflects and adjusts socialist social relations. That is, a tool of domination, and in human terms, the law is a tool to be used. ”

Zhang Ruiming didn't answer, he knew that the master was well-intentioned, Wu Kaiming patted him on the back and continued: "You have been running for more than a year, I see that you have run almost 100 legal aids, and you have only created a total of 20,000 yuan for the firm. This is the amount that your Senior Sister Liao can complete in a week, I know you as a person, I know that you can't look down on those vulnerable people who are struggling at the bottom, and want to try your best to help them, so I didn't stop you this year. However, I have always hoped to train you as a foreign-related lawyer, focusing on foreign-related litigation or arbitration and foreign-related non-litigation legal services, you have a solid legal knowledge of foreign investment, international trade, and intellectual property protection, and at the same time have excellent foreign language skills. You are malleable, and you can endure hardships, take this road, within two years, I guarantee that you will earn one million a year. ”

Zhang Ruiming took a hard puff of cigarette, how could he not understand his master's thoughts, this year, he ran to the construction site and the countryside, and he saw the poorest and hardest people, and even as long as the case of a business trip was basically pasted by himself, legal aid was originally of a public welfare nature, how could a lawyer survive on this, and he had been delayed on this for too long, and at the same time, the little junior sister Liao Cai who came in was already able to do listed legal affairs.

However, there is always a knot in my heart, I always want to do some public welfare, or it may be influenced by my father, who used to be a prosecutor, if no one does it, then what about these low-level people who need legal help the most?
