"Hello Mr. Zhou." Seeing Zhou Liwen turn around and walk towards her, Anne got up with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Anne, aren't you? Is there a little thing that can trouble you? ”

"Of course, no problem, please."

"That's ......." Zhou Liwen looked to the side and felt that this was not the place to talk, so he hesitated and said, "When I came, I saw a coffee shop downstairs, can you invite Miss Anne downstairs to have a cup of coffee?" ”

Anne was a little stunned, and said vigilantly: "I'm sorry Zhou Sheng, as a staff member of a law firm, I ...... working hours now." ”

"I'm sorry, please don't get me wrong." As soon as Zhou Liwen's words came out, he felt that his words were a little inappropriate, and quickly explained: "Things are different from what you imagined, I mainly want to ask you about Lawyer Pang, you know, I just signed an agreement with Lawyer Pang, but I ...... for Lawyer Pang." ”

Zhou Liwen didn't know how to express it, after all, he bluntly said at the front desk of the other party's law firm that he couldn't trust the lawyer he entrusted, which seemed to be a bit excessive.

Hearing this, Anne suddenly realized, and the smile returned to her face.

"I understand Zhou Sheng, so can you wait a moment?"

"Thank you!"

Anne walked out of the front desk and back to the back office, where soon a young girl came out and took her place temporarily. Then Anne nodded to Zhou Liwen, and the two left the law firm one after the other.

Taking the elevator downstairs, they went to the coffee shop in the corner of the hall and found a place to sit down. \u54

68 Liwen took the initiative to ask Anne what kind of coffee she liked to drink, and the other party smiled and waved his hand, as long as he had a glass of mineral water, Zhou Liwen was not reluctant, and asked the waiter to ask him for a cup of cappuccino.

"Does Zhou Sheng think that as a barrister, he doesn't have an independent law firm and an office that matches his identity, so he thinks it's strange?"

Without waiting for Zhou Liwen to ask, Anne took the initiative to ask with a smile.

"That's right!" Zhou Liwen nodded, did not hide his situation, and directly told Anne that he had gone upstairs to Wang Law Firm today, because the other party's attitude and unauthorized change of arrangement made him very dissatisfied, so he temporarily decided to terminate cooperation with them, and when he went downstairs, he happened to see the advertisement of Pang Yishan Law Firm in the elevator and found it. didn't expect that a licensed barrister's office would be so bad, although he now entrusted the affairs of the registered company to Pang Yishan, Zhou Liwen was still a little uneasy. I saw Anne and Lawyer Pang very familiar with each other before, so I figured out Guò to understand the situation.

"Zhou Sheng, you are the right person." Anne smiled, at this time the waiter brought the mineral water and coffee, she first said thank you, and after the waiter put down her things and left, she continued: "I used to be with a large number of people, after graduating from college, I joined his law firm in '93, and worked until the beginning of '96, and then joined the current law firm. With so much seniority, experience and personality, I can assure you that it is not a small commission for Zhou Sheng, even if it is a bigger and more complex commission, it will be no problem for him. It is not surprising that Zhou Sheng is a mainlander, so he has never heard of a large lawsuit, but more than ten years ago, he was a very famous barrister in the law firm of Hong Kong, and he also served as an honorary professor at the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong, and is a leader in the Department of Economic Law and the Department of Civil Law. If it had been placed back then, the fees for the huge case were very high, and he didn't take over the ordinary case at all, if it wasn't for some accidents later, the huge case would not be the current situation. ”

"Accidents? What was the accident? Zhou Liwen raised his eyebrows, he caught this word very sensitively, could it be that Pang Yishan did something that violated the professional ethics of lawyers, so that his reputation would plummet? If this is the case, then no matter how famous Pang Yishan was before and how strong his ability was, he Zhou Liwen would never use this kind of person again, and he would terminate the cooperation after the company was registered.

"It's ......." Anne hesitated a little, hesitating whether to speak, then Zhou Liwen said bluntly: "Miss Anne, the matter entrusted to Lawyer Pang today is just the beginning for me, and I will not hide it from you, if Lawyer Pang is really as capable as you just said, I can consider cooperating with him at a deeper level, and even hire him as a long-term legal counsel." Of course, this must be based on my absolute trust in my delegates, and if something you feel is inappropriate to say, that's fine. But first of all, I would like to state my attitude that as a businessman, I need to look for a professional lawyer who is both competent and trustworthy, and has good professional ethics. ”

Anne sighed lightly and nodded, "Well, I can tell you some of the circumstances, but please promise that you will not tell anyone about these things, including the Giant Case." ”

"Ok, don't worry, it's absolutely fine!"

Anne took a sip of water, and then she told the story, according to what she said, Pang Yishan was indeed famous in Xiangjiang at the beginning, and he was a leader in the industry. As a successful barrister, although not a rich man, he is also considered a wealthy class, and at his most glorious time, his law firm had five licensed solicitors and twelve solicitors, and a law firm of this size was among the best in Hong Kong.

But in 1995, because he was not optimistic about the prospect of Xiangjiang's return, Pang Yishan decided to move his family to immigrate. At the beginning of 1996, he closed the law firm and emigrated overseas with his family, who would have thought that he had just immigrated and encountered the Southeast Asian financial crisis that swept the world.

After the financial crisis, Pang Yishan's two companies in the United States and Japan were also because of

In order to save the company, he almost threw all his last belongings into it, and he struggled to support it until the end or went out of business. By this time, the original barrister had almost lost a qiē and had no choice but to file for bankruptcy. Before the bankruptcy liquidation, he gave all the last part of his disposable assets to his wife and daughter, and assumed the responsibility of bankruptcy alone. After the bankruptcy, that is, a few months ago, Pang Yishan returned to Xiangjiang gloomily and decided to start his old business, although he was very famous before, but Xiangjiang is a society where interests are higher than human feelings, and after many years of separation from the legal profession in Xiangjiang, it has long been impossible for the previous clients and partners to leave the current law firm and re-cooperate with him, so for Pang Yishan, he will start over.

"Could it be that Lawyer Pang has been in the lawyer industry for so many years, and he has no friends to help him?" Zhou Liwen couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"Zhou Sheng, the concept of the mainland may be different from ours, you must know that Xiangjiang is a material society, friendship is friendship, business is business, as a successful lawyer it is absolutely impossible to mix the two, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive in this cruel competition." Anne saw Zhou Liwen's doubts, deliberately explained, and then said: "Of course, there is still necessary help between friends, just like the huge office is provided to him by my current boss for free, it is not easy to do this step as a friend, you must know that providing other lawyers with a workplace in your own law firm is tantamount to letting others rob your customers and jobs!" ”
