Chapter 157 Moot Court, Zhang Wei as the Plaintiff?
Lin Xiangtian.
The boss of Jincheng Law Firm, the top decision-maker of Jincheng Law Firm.
Even the Jincheng law firm belongs to the Lin family. Although there are many partners in the law firm, they are not shareholders in the general sense. They all obey Lin Xiangtian's orders.
Therefore, Lin Xiangtian's prestige is at the top of Jincheng Law Firm and even Jincheng Group.
As for Lin Yufeng, he was just his son.
Lao Tzu taught his son a lesson, who dares to say otherwise?
Who has the final say at Jincheng Law Firm?
Of course it was him, Lin Xiangtian!
Zhang Wei didn't expect that the man with a big belly in front of him was actually the most powerful lawyer in Dongfang Capital.
I don't know, I thought this was a rich man from a certain group.
"Who is in charge of the law firm, ah, I am in charge of your father!"
"Are you awesome, are you still arrogant, do you still dare to bully your sister?"
"Things that are more than successful than failures, your mother called me during the daytime. You must know that woman is playing mahjong during the daytime. Today she doesn't even play mahjong!"
"You little bum..."
After a reprimand, Lin Yufeng's face turned red, but he couldn't get angry.
In front of him was his own father, he could only endure, yield, and avoid, not daring to make any response.
After teaching his son, Lin Xiangtian looked at his daughter.
"Girl, I taught you a lesson for your brother, now it's your turn."
"Our law firm has many departments, and each department has many teams. Why did you choose the criminal team?"
"Father, I think the criminal team is pretty good..." Lin Yumeng replied weakly.
"If you want to stay in the litigation department, I can let you join the commercial group and let you work under Lawyer Bai for a while, how about letting you learn something?"
As Lin Xiangtian said, he looked at Bai Meiqi who was at the side.
The latter naturally understood, "Don't worry, big boss, if Miss Lin comes to my place, I will definitely take her with me!"
"Father, I want to stay with the master, I can learn more from him!"
But Lin Yumeng shook her head and refused, pointing at Zhang Wei instead.
"master?"
Hearing what his daughter said, Lin Xiangtian looked at Zhang Wei unexpectedly.
Just this kid, can he be my daughter's teacher?
"Is he worthy?"
As expected of his own son, Lin Yufeng couldn't hold back before Lin Xiangtian said anything.
"Yes, this kid looks like he just graduated, can he be your master?"
Lin Xiangtian looked at his daughter with suspicion on his face.
"No, I just want to stay in the criminal team, I just want to learn from my master, he is very good!"
Seeing Lin Yumeng acting like a baby, Lin Xiangtian was in trouble.
Anyway, the criminal team can't let the daughter stay. After all, they come into contact with criminals and felons every day, and people who commit criminal cases are very dangerous.
No parent would allow their daughter to contact felons every day, especially since Lin Xiangtian is the boss of a law firm, it is even more impossible for him to agree.
"Nonsense!" He emphasized his tone.
"Boss, I wonder if you can listen to me!"
But just as Lin Xiangtian was about to reprimand his daughter, Zhang Wei interrupted him.
"you?"
"Not bad, me!"
Facing Lin Xiangtian, other people in the law firm were terrified, but Zhang Wei was not afraid of Lin Xiangtian.
Anyway, Lin Xiangtian is also a human being, so it is impossible for him to eat himself. He is afraid of a ball?
"Boss, let me ask, how are you going to arrange your daughter in the first place?"
"Hmph, does it need to be said, of course she was asked to go to the project department and study with her brother for a period of time, I didn't expect her to go crazy and join your criminal team!"
"I see!"
Hearing this answer, Zhang Wei was not surprised.
"Since that's the case, why don't you let me compete with your young master. He just made a request before. This is a rare opportunity. Let me prove whether I can be your daughter's master!"
"you?"
Lin Xiangtian's originally kind face suddenly changed and became full of power.
An aura of a superior emanated from him, shocking the surroundings.
Under this aura, others couldn't help taking half a step back, not daring to look directly at him.
But Zhang Wei's figure was not affected in the slightest, he didn't even raise his eyes, he still looked at Lin Xiangtian.
Seeing Zhang Wei's unafraid of his aura, Lin Xiangtian was slightly moved.
This is not a performance that a fresh graduate can have.
"Oh, what competition?" His expression suddenly restrained, and he asked again.
"Dad, it's a cooperation project in my hand. Super Energy Beverage Company is negotiating a consultant agreement in our law firm, but the other party has made a request. Recently they are facing a lawsuit and need our help to resolve it. They want to see our law firm's Really capable, so I plan to let us have a moot court on this lawsuit. Of course this is not a big problem, I am confident in this case!
"Are you sure?"
"certainly!"
Seeing that his son had spoken, Lin Xiangtian knew it already.
"What about you kid, it's not easy to be the opponent of the project department!"
Lin Xiangtian looked at Zhang Wei again.
"There is a difference between a moot court and a real court trial, but isn't my task to prove myself? I think even if I lose to Mr. Lin, it's not a big deal, right?"
Zhang Wei smiled lightly, but then changed his mind: "But if I win, doesn't it prove that I have the strength to be your daughter's teacher!"
Lin Xiangtian did not respond to Zhang Wei's words, but looked at Lin Yufeng, "How long has your project department been preparing for this case and this company's cooperation?"
"2 months!"
"That is to say, you already have a foundation for 2 months?"
"Yes, Dad, there is no way I will lose!"
After hearing this, Lin Xiangtian was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Young people, you really need a chance to prove yourself. I think this mock trial is good!"
"However, a simulation is a simulation after all, not a real court trial, and real swords and guns can't make a difference. Since the other party wants to see the real ability of the law firm, why not find some professional people to come!"
After Lin Xiangtian finished speaking, he leaned into Lin Yumeng's ear and said a few words, then waved his hands and left.
The big boss just left, giving everyone a chubby back.
But what he said at the end has already expressed his attitude.
He agreed with Zhang Wei's statement, let Zhang Wei and Lin Yufeng compete in the mock trial!
Zhang Wei won, and Lin Yumeng stayed in the criminal team.
Zhang Wei lost, and Lin Yumeng left the criminal team. As for whether to join the project department or let lawyer Bai lead it, that's another matter.
"The client requested that the trial start tomorrow, and you have one day to prepare, but in my opinion, your request is courting death!"
Lin Yufeng snorted coldly and left with his hands.
With his confident expression, it was obvious that he was sure of winning.
Of course this is also nonsense.
He prepared for 2 months and knew everything about the lawsuits the client was facing and the situation of the client company.
As for Zhang Wei, he had less than 24 hours to prepare.
A farce ended just after Lin Xiangtian appeared on stage.
However, this matter has aroused heated discussions within the law firm.
"Shocked, the big boss came to the law firm in person, and went to the most neglected criminal group of the litigation department!"
"Have you heard that a newcomer in the criminal team is actually the daughter of the big boss?"
"Your news is outdated. It is said that someone wants to challenge Lin Shao in order to fight for the boss's daughter!"
"I heard that Young Master Lin went to the Criminal Division to take the initiative to provoke. It seems to be related to another rookie named Zhang Wei. Could it be that the rookie has something to do with the big boss's daughter?"
"Let me guess, could it be that the newcomer planned to chase after the big boss's daughter, but Lin Shao saw through his little thoughts?"
"I think it's probably like this. If anyone can get on the side of the big boss's daughter, wouldn't they be soaring into the sky?"
"If it were me, I would also like to be the son-in-law of the big boss. Let alone junior partners, even senior partners have hope!"
"I also want to eat soft food from the big boss's house and be the door-to-door son-in-law!"
"Fuck off, look at you guys, you all want to take shortcuts, it's a shame! I'm different, I just want to be Miss Lin's dog..."
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
Inside the law firm, various project departments discussed this matter intensely, and some people even made surprising remarks, which attracted a lot of repeaters.
As for lawyers, although their profession sounds high-end, they are also human beings, and they tend to gossip.
For a while, the criminal team became the discussion center within the law firm, and everyone in the criminal team stood at the forefront.
However, Zhang Wei, who is the protagonist, has no intention of taking care of these things at the moment.
He is flipping through documents.
The project department sent all the documents about the client. After all, they need to be familiar with the case to go to the moot court.
Not only that, in order to achieve the goal, the client also allocated a simulation fund of 200,000 yuan to the project department, striving to be the most realistic.
Half of the money was also given to Zhang Wei,
"Old man, can I apply for investigator support?"
Zhang Wei asked while looking at the documents piled up in front of him.
"I'll help you to ask!"
Tie Ruyun responded and immediately walked out of the office.
After a while, he came back, but his face was not very good-looking.
"The investigator replied to me. They said that in this case, you represent the prosecution and are the opponent of the law firm. The project department represents the law firm. They are all employees of the law firm. If you help me, there is a conflict of interest."
"Good guy, I don't even give you an investigator, how do I call him?"
Zhang Wei complained, but there was no surprise.
To put it bluntly, this case is like playing basketball with your leader.
As long as the leader gets the ball, he will be possessed by a flying person, and no one can stop him while the gods and demons are alive.
But in fact, is it really impossible to stop it, or do you not want to stop it?
Everyone knows the doorway here.
The same is true of this case.
If Lin Yufeng wants to get the client's contract, he must win the case.
If Zhang Wei wins, do you want the client's contract?
And if the investigator helps Zhang Wei, what do you think Lin Yufeng thinks?
No one dared to offend Lin Yufeng, he was the son of the big boss, so of course they would not help Zhang Wei.
"Forget it, anyway, I will use the 100,000 yuan to hire external investigators!"
As Zhang Wei said, he planned to spend the 100,000 by himself.
As for the external investigator, the second daughter at the head of the family is a very suitable candidate.
The key is to get the second daughter out without spending any money. Doesn't this 100,000 yuan amount to prostitution for nothing!
"The investigator's affairs are all right, and the next step is to publicize the evidence of this case..."
"Master, let me help, I also want to contribute to the case!"
Lin Yumeng volunteered and volunteered.
The success or failure of this case is related to whether she can stay in the criminal team, so she naturally has to contribute.
"Yeah, I'm here to help too!"
Li Yueqin on the side also joined, and she didn't want Lin Yumeng to leave, otherwise the criminal team would only be left with two newcomers, Zhang Wei and herself, which would be too deserted.
"Well, you two, in the name of Jincheng Law Firm, ask the court for the public evidence of this case, and bring me any copies that can be copied!"
"Okay!" The little apprentice took Xiao Li, and the two left in a hurry.
"Old Tie, I also have a task for you!"
Zhang Wei waved to Tie Ruyun again.
"Do you know any actors who are good at acting?"
"Actor, what do you want this for?"
"Of course it's the victim's family. You don't think that the mock trial is just for me to go up and talk about it?"
"But actors aren't real witnesses?"
"This court trial is not real, what's wrong with me hiring an actor?"
"Oh, that's true, but I don't know any actors, and you also know that I'm a criminal defense lawyer. The people I have the most contact with are in the detention center. Your request is a bit difficult!"
"That……"
Zhang Wei's eyeballs rolled, and then he thought of something.
"Then we don't need any actors. You should know Miss, and help me find someone with good acting skills!"
"Miss you, is she serious?"
"Old Tie, the lady is actually the best actress. Don't deny it. Some guests have only 2 minutes of strength, but they still pretend to be heart-piercing. The key guests believe it is true. This is true. Proper acting skills, what do you think?"
Tie Ruyun was stunned for a moment, but fortunately both Lin Yumeng and Li Yueqin had left, so this topic could still be discussed.
"Then your request is..."
"It's best to be around thirty-five years old and have a good service reputation. Such a woman has the best acting skills. She has experienced all kinds of storms, and she may have a lot of experience in court. This is the actor I need most!"
Having said that, Zhang Wei has to admire his flexible thinking, isn't this the witness he needs!
"Okay, I'll help you find it, it shouldn't be hard to find this time..."
Tie Ruyun responded and set off with the task.
For this demand, Tie Ruyun has no objection.
He has been a criminal defense lawyer for so many years, so he has come into contact with quite a few girls, so it is not difficult to find one who meets the requirements.
"Next, it's my business. Since the moot court will start tomorrow, I have to get everything ready today!"
He first sent a message to Zhao Xiaoxiao, telling him all the requirements.
The second daughter did not go out today, so she quickly replied to the message, saying that there is no problem.
Zhang Wei was finally relieved now, and then he began to read the case files carefully.
The defendant in this case is Super Energy Beverage Company, whose main product is sports drinks.
Just at the beginning of today, a 16-year-old girl died suddenly because of excessive drinking of the company's sports drink products. The girl's family sued the Super Energy Drink Company in court, requesting 15 million civil compensation.
Super Beverage Company is a giant in the beverage industry, with a company market value of 12 billion, and 15 million compensation is just a drop in the bucket for them.
But big companies have a common problem, that is, they all have a unified and tough attitude towards claims.
Never compensate!
Big companies would rather spend 20 million yuan to win the lawsuit than pay 15 million yuan in compensation to the victims, just because once such a thing starts, it will be endless.
Although winning the lawsuit will cost more money, it can actually deter similar lawsuits in the future. In comparison, it actually saves money.
This point can be known from the attitude of Harper Cigar Company.
Even if they paid 27 million, they still had to sign a lot of non-disclosure agreements, just because they didn't want the matter to be publicized.
Zhang Wei also felt the thorniness of this case, because in his final negotiations with Harper Cigars, he actually had the intention of defrauding the other party.
If he really wanted to go to court with the opponent, he was not completely sure that he would win.
And now, he's actually going to court.
After more than an hour.
"We're back~"
Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng returned to the law firm with the publicized evidence. They took a lot of things, two cardboard boxes full.
After spreading out all the evidence, Zhang Wei began to verify it carefully.
"Zhang Wei, the leader is looking for you!"
But just when Zhang Wei was about to plan his court strategy, Jin Mingming came.
"Which leader?"
If it was Li and Wang, Zhang Wei expressed that he was not familiar with them and would not meet each other.
"Of course it's Boss Shen, he's waiting for you in the lounge outside!"
Knowing that Shen Zhengyi was looking for him, Zhang Wei had no choice but to put down his work and go to the lounge to meet him.
Ten minutes later, he came back again, and his face was not very good-looking.
"Sure enough, how can I not understand the principle of playing with the leader, but unfortunately I don't want to lose!"
Just now when Shen Zhengyi came to him, the purpose was also obvious.
"Zhang Wei, I know you are young and vigorous, but if you are not young, can you still be called a young man?"
"But you also know the situation of this case. Young Master Lin's request is a complete victory. You can just make up your mind. I believe you and I know who the final winner is?"
"As for your apprentice, there's nothing you can do about it. She's the boss's daughter. What does it look like to be in the criminal team? Wouldn't it be better for him to go to the project department for development, or follow lawyer Bai from our department?"
"All in all, in tomorrow's moot court, you can just sprinkle a little water on it. Although you have to behave in front of clients, you have to be careful!"
These are the exact words of Shen Zhengyi, and his meaning has been made clear.
In the moot court, you can show yourself, but in the end Lin Yufeng must be the one who wins.
This is Shin's warning, or.
Zhang Wei didn't respond, but returned to the office in silence.
On the other side, Lin Yufeng was on the phone in the office.
"Young Master Lin, I've already beaten Zhang Wei, and I told him to be careful, so don't worry."
"Tomorrow's trial, please perform well, and I wish you a successful start."
Putting down the phone, Lin Yufeng sneered.
"Boy, fight with me, you are still a little tender, although I will never lose to you, but letting Shen Zhengyi hit it can be regarded as a warning to you!"
"If you know how to measure, the law firm can still accommodate you, but if you don't listen to the advice, don't blame me for beating you to pieces in court!"
"In this case, I have an absolute advantage, and it is impossible to lose!"
