"Hello, is this Lawyer Fang? I am the eldest brother of Zhang Fengqin (Li Shuming's daughter-in-law), and my name is Zhang Fengcai. A man's voice came out of the phone microphone.

"Hello, I'm Fang Yi. Yesterday, Li Shuming told me about your family. Are you coming over today? Fang Yi asked.

"Is it convenient for you? If it's convenient, I'll look for you at the law firm in a moment. Zhang Fengcai said.

"Come on." After Fang Yi told the other party the location of the law firm, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Fengcai is a man in his fifties, tall, somewhat bald, with a hint of cunning and stubbornness in his eyes. He is said to be the vice-chancellor of a local university and retired after three years.

His university has a law school, and there are not a few part-time professors and associate professors in law firms outside, and he still knows a little about the situation of the teachers in his school.

The teacher who really has some skills is more arrogant, and he looks like a god. After all, his own affairs are not a good thing, and he is a person who wants to be faced, so he did not find a teacher from his school to represent his son's case.

When his mother heard that her grandson had been arrested, she was so anxious that she asked him to contact her sister Zhang Fengqin, who was far away, and the old lady asked her daughter Zhang Fengqin to find a way to save people, and Zhang Fengqin called Li Shuming to ask Fang Yi for help.

Previously, after receiving a call from Li Shuming, he deliberately logged on to the website of Wanhua United Law Firm and checked the introduction below. From the perspective of a leader, he is still very satisfied with Fang Yi's professional ability.

Forty minutes later, in the conference room of the law firm, Fang Yi listened carefully to Zhang Fengcai's narration.

"After graduating from university, my son Zhang Wen first worked in a foreign-funded company, and later applied for the current Sino-foreign joint venture company as the general manager of the sales department." Zhang Fengcai mentioned the past, and his eyes flashed with pride.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know what your son's crime is?" Fang Yi asked.

At the mention of his son's arrest, Zhang Fengcai's eyes dimmed a lot: "The public security organ called me a few days ago and said that he was suspected of illegally operating the same kind of business. I don't know much about the specifics, so I can't tell you the details. I suspect it may have something to do with the company he owned. ”

"He has his own company?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, it's not his name, he registered the company in the name of my wife and his mother-in-law. He wanted to use my name, but I was the vice-chancellor of the university and couldn't register, so I changed to his mother's name. That's all I know. Zhang Fengcai said.

"Well, what about his lover? Stay informed? Fang Yi asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, his daughter-in-law is an executive of a foreign company, and she is busier than him. A month before my son was arrested, she was sent by the company to study abroad, and it will take half a year to come back. The two of them are yelling about their careers all day long, and they don't want children until now, this time it's good, one was sent abroad, and the other was arrested......" At the mention of this, Zhang Fengcai was depressed.

"In this case, if you can trust me, I will go to the detention center to meet first, ask about the specific situation, and then we will talk about the rest of the matter. What do you think? Fang Yi said.

"How can I give you this fee? How much does it cost? Zhang Fengcai asked.

No matter who he asks to defend his son, he can't save the money, he understands this. It is impossible for the middle-aged lawyer in front of him to waive the lawyer's fee because he is Li Shuming's eldest brother, not to mention that the relationship between him and Li Shuming has not been very good, which is self-aware Zhang Fengcai.

"There are two ways to charge fees, one is that you entrust me with your son's case from the time he was arrested by the public security organs to the first-instance verdict, and you pay all the lawyer's fees at one time.

For example, if your son's case is currently in the investigation stage, I will go to the detention center to meet with him to understand the case, answer your son's legal questions, and apply for bail pending trial, and the fee for one meeting is 5,000 yuan, and if you need to be released on bail pending trial, add another 3,000 yuan. When it comes to the prosecution review and prosecution stage of the procuratorate and the court trial, you will pay the lawyer's fees separately. Fang Yi explained.

"If you don't go to the detention center for a meeting first, I'll pay you the lawyer's fees in stages." Zhang Fengcai thought for a while.

He pondered that if he paid all the lawyer's fees at once, in case he was not satisfied and wanted to change the lawyer later, it would be difficult to ask for the money back.

"No problem, you wait, I'll ask the assistant to prepare the commission procedures." Fang Yi said. Then he called Zhou Ying to prepare for the entrustment procedures.

When Fang Yi went upstairs just now, Zhou Ying was helping Huang Yuanchao copy materials, so Fang Yi didn't ask her to come up and talk about the case together. Twenty minutes later, Zhou Ying went upstairs to assist Zhang Fengcai in signing the entrustment formalities and paid 8,000 yuan in legal fees.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ying followed Fang Yi to the detention center to meet Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen is thirty-one years old, wears a pair of black-framed glasses, has a thin body, but has a beer belly that does not match his size, and looks like a pregnant woman who is five or six months pregnant. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to tie his shoelaces at the waist. His face looks very similar to Zhang Fengcai, but a little more slippery and sophisticated.

may have been mixed in society for a long time, and he has experienced a lot of things, his state is acceptable, his mentality has not collapsed, but he seems a little anxious.

"Zhang Wen, do you know the charges charged by the public security organs?" Fang Yi asked.

"You know, they told me about the crime of illegally operating the same kind of business." Zhang Wen nodded.

"Please tell us again what you told the public security organs. We need to know what happened. The more detailed, the better. Fang Yi said.

"Well, I have been working in the current joint venture company for more than six years, from a sales team to a manager in the sales department,......" Zhang Wen recounted the incident.

Zhang Wen's company is a Sino-foreign joint venture, with the Chinese and foreign parties each investing 50 percent in the production and sales of automobiles and their parts.

Three years ago, Zhang Wen because of outstanding performance, was promoted to deputy department manager, since then year after year to exceed the completion of sales tasks, early last year after the retirement of the sales manager, he was hired by the company as a sales manager, in charge of the company's sales and after-sales service.

He has been working in sales for many years in the company and knows the company's downstream customers very well. After he took power, he thought about relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on sales to eat sales.

After serving as the sales manager, Zhang Wen registered Wanjia Sales Company in the name of his mother and mother-in-law. Later, under his instruction, Wanjia Sales Company became an authorized dealer of the joint venture company, specializing in the sale of auto parts of the joint venture company.

In order to increase the income of Wanjia Sales Company, Zhang Wen privately contacted many customers of the joint venture company, asking them to order auto parts of the joint venture company through Wanjia Sales Company and give them a certain rebate. Driven by interests, the client reached an agreement with Zhang Wen.
