Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

So Robin needs Lina only in work, not in emotions. As a secretary, Lina is very competent in some things and can handle all matters except legal ones.

But when it comes to love, the person Robin can't let go of the most is undoubtedly Lan Hong, followed by Dai Xi. Among them is also the proactive, enthusiastic, and scheming Lin Jingwei. Lina doesn't even rank among them.

In fact, Han Tao was also quite confused about this. Lan Hong was already a wife, Lin Jingwei was very cunning and difficult to confide in, Dai Xi was always getting into trouble and was too saintly and deceitful. Why did Robin like them but turn a blind eye to the perfect Lina?

Although it was because she knew Robin too well, she couldn't pretend to be ignorant. She had to make things clear.

However, because of this, he had the opportunity to recruit her. Han Tao could give Lina everything she wanted, such as equity partner, executive director, and the executive position she had always dreamed of. Although she no longer had it, Han Tao could give her the position of deputy chief executive (equivalent to the vice president of an ordinary company).

Chapter 487 Ask Robin for "Lina"

In Quanjing Law Firm, a well-known law firm in Beijing, Lina had just finished a phone call with Wendy. After thinking for a moment, she stood up and walked into Luo Bin's office.

"Wendy just called me. She said Han Tao will be back in Beijing on a business trip soon. I told her about Boss Feng, and it sounds like Han Tao should be willing to help. I'm planning to introduce Lan Hong to him, so you don't have to worry about it!"

Hearing this, Robin looked at Lina with mixed feelings. Lan Hong lost the first trial, so she came to his office just now. He didn't know how to deal with it, but he didn't expect Lina to help him solve it. However, seeing Lina's expression when she mentioned Lan Hong, Robin felt a little worried again.

After a moment's silence, Robin could only pretend nothing had happened and said, "Thank you. Please introduce them to each other for me. But don't wait for Han Tao to come to Beijing. Contact him directly on Lanhong.

Lanhong Company lost the first trial because they were found guilty of consumer fraud. Han Tao's senior is a legal expert on the Automobile Circulation Association's expert committee. He has the ability to get the expert committee to produce a certificate proving that Lanhong Company's actions did not constitute fraud.

"Okay, but..."

Lina nodded and wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. Then she left Robin's office without looking back. After returning to her seat, she used the law firm's landline to contact Lan Hong in Robin's name.

Seeing Lina walking out with hesitation, Robin opened his mouth, but did not call her. Instead, he picked up his phone and prepared to call Han Tao.

Lan Hong had just returned home and had planned to talk to Robin again in the evening. She knew Robin well and knew that as long as she played the emotional card, Robin would definitely soften his heart.

In fact, she had no choice. Losing the first trial had a huge impact on their company. Newspapers were all talking about this most expensive claim case of refunding one and compensating three, which dealt a heavy blow to the company's reputation.

Although the law firm and lawyer they found were well-known, they still lost, so she had to seek help from the strongest lawyer she knew, Robin, who was also her old lover.

Therefore, when she heard Lina say that it was Robin's suggestion, she did not respond directly to Lina, but planned to go back to the law firm and ask Robin in person about the details.

........................

At this time, Robin was talking to Han Tao in the office. He briefly talked about Quan Jing's situation in recent times, including the fact that Director Feng was complained about and Gu Jie took the opportunity to force Director Feng to step down.

Han Tao was familiar with the plot and knew that Feng Yin was framed, so he reminded him. Robin was very perceptive and immediately heard the key point in Han Tao's words, so he said directly:

"Taozi, we've worked together for so long, I won't beat around the bush. Boss Feng's story has spread throughout the industry, and the Bar Association is paying attention.

From what I understand, since you said that, you must know something, so you won't just watch him fall, right?

Besides, Quan Jing is your old boss. Your photo hasn't even been taken down from the wall yet. Don't hide it. The law firm is currently in turmoil and people are demoralized. We need to resolve this issue as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts."

"No problem. I've been busy with a major case lately and haven't had time to pay attention to other things. I only learned about Boss Feng's situation from Wendy, but I've asked someone to do some research and do know some details."

After that, Han Tao sent Robin a document via email without waiting for Robin's response, and then continued:

"I sent you an email with an address and the girl's name on it. I also found out that Feng Yin had sued this girl before. After reading it, you'll be able to guess the reason for this incident."

Hearing this, Robin was stunned for a moment. Before he even opened the email, he guessed something, so he blurted out, "It seems this incident is not simple. It's a deliberate frame-up, right?"

"That's right. This girl was probably dissatisfied with the outcome of the lawsuit that Feng Yin helped her with, so she was taken advantage of. You'll know the details if you verify it.

And Gu Jie, you should have noticed something too. Why didn't this girl call the police, but chose to complain to her? What role did Gu Jie play that day?

Hearing Han Tao's words, Robin frowned slightly and said with certainty: "It was Gu Jie who colluded with this girl to frame Boss Feng. Their goal was to take the position of director!"

Seeing that he had grasped the key point, Han Tao continued to remind him, "I'm just guessing. Even if you do something wrong, there will definitely be traces. I suggest you check her dashcam. There might be some useful clues in there."

"That's what I thought, too. I'll have someone get started on it right away. But thank you anyway. I'll buy you a drink when I get back!"

"We are family, so let's not be polite!"

After saying that, Han Tao took a sip of tea and continued to talk to Robin on the other end of the phone:

"Brother Bing, I'm about to take over as the director of Mingtang, and I'm planning to expand through mergers and acquisitions. I'm short on manpower, so I asked Wendy to contact Lina and ask her to come to the Magic City to help me. You won't blame me, will you?"

Hearing this, Robin responded, "No, Lina has already told me that it's her freedom to stay or go. I have no right to stop her. But I'm curious, why did you choose Lina?"

"There are two reasons. First, Lina is a rare administrative talent. She has been working at the law firm for so many years and is familiar with the business. I also needed someone I could trust, so I thought of her.

Secondly, I've seen it for a long time. Lina only has eyes for you, but you only treat her as a friend. Rather than letting her waste her time like this, trapped by love and tormented by family matters, it's better to get out of Beijing's circle so that she can avoid the things she doesn't want to face!"

"I understand, so I don't mind, whether it's your choice or Lina's.

Lina and I have been colleagues, friends, and comrades for many years, and I don't want her to sit outside my office for the rest of her life. I understand what you mean."

Robin understood why Han Tao didn't call Lina directly but talked to her alone.

However, when he thought that Lina would leave him, he felt a little lost, and the air in the office seemed to be frozen because of his silence.

Robin knew that he owed Lina all these years and he had been avoiding her. He could feel Lina's feelings for him, but he could only treat Lina as a friend.

There are two reasons. One is that they are too familiar with each other. Lina understands all his thoughts. This is a tacit understanding in work, but if it is also like this in life, he can't help but shudder at the thought.

The second is that he still has a knot in his heart that has not been untied. He has not been able to let go of Lan Hong for so many years. After all, the wedding invitations were sent out, but in the end they did not get married.

Especially since Lan Hong turned around and married a billionaire, this has become a hurdle that Robin cannot overcome.

After a long moment, Robin let out a long sigh and said, "I have no choice. I have indeed delayed Lina. I hope that after she arrives in the Magic City, you can help her let go and realize her dreams!"

"I understand. Don't worry, Brother Bin. I know what's going on. Go and take care of Boss Feng's matter. We'll continue our conversation when I get back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back and not leave until I'm drunk!"

After saying that, Robin hung up the phone, printed out a copy of the information sent by Han Tao, and then hurried out of the office.

However, when he passed by Lina's workstation, he couldn't help but say thank you. Lina shook her head and then forced a smile and said:

"Wendy sent me an email. This is our file. I've already asked the driver to wait for you downstairs. I've also asked Daisy to be on standby in the car. Go quickly!"

"Thank you. I'll help me sort something out later. I'll send you the details via WeChat!"

Robin nodded in thanks, reached out to take the file that was handed to him, and then walked out of the law firm building. Robin had a deep impression of the girl in the file and knew some inside information, so he felt more confident than before.

Chapter 488: Suing Your Own Client

Back in Shanghai, Han Tao's apprentice Luo Yun and assistant He Xingyun were accompanying the middle-aged woman Qiu Jiayi to court, fighting for her share of the post-marital income.

However, this case was not difficult. With sufficient evidence and complete information, and catching the other party off guard, we won without a doubt.

So Luo Yun had a good start, and He Xingyun also followed her excitedly to experience the process of bargaining in court.

After coming out of the court, the middle-aged woman Qiu Jiayi happily followed her ex-husband to transfer money, and excitedly ignored Luo Yunhe Xingyun and the person who just helped her win the lawsuit.

Therefore, He Xingyun had to hold her back and remind her that her lawyer's fees had not been paid yet, and asked her to go to the law firm to handle the rest of the matters after receiving the money.

However, Qiu Jiayi said a few perfunctory words and ran after her ex-husband, leaving Luo Yun with no choice but to take He Xingfu back to the law firm.

As soon as the two entered the office area of ​​Group 2, they were notified to go to Han Tao's office, and received congratulations from many colleagues along the way.

"Well done, Luo Yun! You won your first case! Keep it up!"

"Sister Yun, you've had a great start in your first match. Congratulations!"

"Luo Yun, you are indeed Director Han's apprentice. You are truly amazing. Congratulations!"

"Thank you everyone. Teacher Han is still waiting for Lucky and I to report. I'm leaving now, but I'll treat everyone to lunch!"

Luo Yun happily thanked everyone one by one, and promised to treat everyone in Group 2 to lunch, then walked towards the office of Han Tao, the chief lawyer of Group 2.

Of course, the lunch she promised was a working meal. After all, Luo Yun was just a new lawyer who had just become a salaried lawyer, and the commission for this case would not be paid until next month.

Soon the two of them arrived at the office, knocked on the door and went in. Seeing Luo Yun's cheerful face, Han Tao encouraged him:

"Not bad, you weren't afraid of the first case and won it smoothly. You deserve praise!"

"Thank you, Master. It's all because of your good teaching. I was able to win this time thanks to your guidance!"

After saying that, Luo Yun bowed sincerely to Han Tao to express his gratitude.

Han Tao waved his hand, then said, "Alright, let's not be polite here, Master and disciple. Although we won the lawsuit, we still have to deal with the subsequent matters. Don't forget to contact the client and ask her to pay the lawyer's fees as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, Master. Lucky reminded her right after we left the court, but she should have received the money by now. I'll contact her again and ask her to come over as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, Luo Yun took out his cell phone and called Qiu Jiayi. After all, Qiu Jiayi hadn't even paid the most basic consulting fee in advance. If she hadn't been introduced by his relative, the law firm would never have agreed to do so.

A few seconds later, Luo Yun's phone was connected, and she said directly: "Sister Jiayi, this is Luo Yun. How are you doing over there? Did you get the money successfully?"

"I got it. Thank you so much, Xiao Luo. I will definitely come to see you with gifts and give you a banner!"

Hearing Qiu Jiayi's answer, Luo Yun smiled and said, "You're welcome, Sister Jiayi. They were all introduced by relatives and friends. Being able to help you is better than anything else.

But feelings are feelings, and business is business. You can see if Fang Bufang can come to the law firm this afternoon to pay the fees and complete the remaining procedures."

Hearing this, Qiu Jiayi responded enthusiastically, "No problem. I'll just transfer the attorney's fees to you first. As for the paperwork, please help me handle it. I have other things to take care of this afternoon, so I won't be coming over!"

"That's fine. Fifteen percent of 120 million is 1.8 million. Just transfer it directly to the law firm's public account. I'll send you the account number later. As for the consulting fee, our director said it's been erased for you!"

"One million and eight hundred thousand, how can that be so much?"

Qiu Jiayi exclaimed, then her attitude drastically changed. "Xiao Luo, how about this? I can pay you 5,000 yuan for the consultation fee, but I can't pay for anything else, because you just gave me an idea!"

Hearing Qiu Jiayi say this, Luo Yun was almost dumbfounded. She had never seen such an excessive person, so she retorted:

"Sister Jiayi, you're not right. How can it be just a consultation? I just went to court to help you win the divorce case!"

"You can't say that. This is such an obvious winnable case, anyone can win. Aren't your fees too high?

And since I'm looking for help from you, I should go through legal aid, yes, legal aid, so I'll transfer the consultation fee to you via WeChat now. Bye!"

"Hey, Jiayi...Ms. Qiu, how can you do this? We have a contract. We agreed on an agency, how can it be an aid... Hey... Hey..."

Before Luo Yun could finish her words, the other party hung up the phone. This action made her unable to react for a moment, and she looked at Han Tao in a daze.

He Xingyun, who was standing by, felt something was wrong and quickly asked, "Sister Luo Yun, what's wrong?"

Luo Yun came to his senses and did not respond, but called again, but the tone he got was busy, and then he received a transfer reminder of 5,000 yuan.

This made Luo Yun, who was handling a case independently for the first time, feel overwhelmed. She looked at Han Tao again and said in a tone that was about to cry:

"Master, what should I do? She might have blocked me!"

Seeing this, He Xingyun also took out her cell phone and dialed the other party's number. Although the call was connected, the other party hung up as soon as she said he was a famous lawyer. Then the line was busy when she called again.

At this time, Luo Yun had already guessed what the other party was thinking, so she looked decadent and depressed. This was her first case, and it was a tricky mess. Or she felt sorry for the other party. It was conceivable how upset she was. How could she accept such an outcome?

Han Tao, on the other hand, calmly pulled out a document from a drawer, handed it over, and said, "Sign and stamp it, then go to court to sue her and apply for property preservation and exit restrictions."

"Master, did you know she would default on her debt?"

Han Tao's actions confused Luo Yun and stunned He Xingyun who was standing beside him. They never thought that Han Tao would handle it this way.

Seeing the two of them looking silly, Han Tao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Silly, right? Be more careful next time. This woman is obviously not someone you can easily deal with.

When you brought her here before, I noticed that every time the topic of lawyer fees was mentioned, she avoided the topic or was vague, so I guessed that she was going to cause trouble.

But he's a bit naive to ask me for this, don't just stand there, go and do what I asked you to do. You need to let her and future clients know that lawyers' money is not so easy to get away with!"

"Oh, oh, I understand, Master. I'll go right away, otherwise it will be too late if she transfers the money away!"

After saying that, Luo Yun ran away in a hurry. She went straight to type the application form and organize the documents.

At this time, He Xingyun looked at Han Tao with some concern and asked, "Teacher Han, as lawyers, if we sue our own clients, would it be bad? What if it brings negative consequences?"

"It's okay. Actually, the one million plus lawyer fees are nothing. After all, we are still doing our legal aid work. The main thing is that Qiu Jiayi's behavior is too bad. We must not tolerate such a rogue and scoundrel client. If you don't sue this kind of person, she will never wake up!

You should also remember that no matter what happens, do not be ambiguous. You are a law student, not a clueless legal professional. You must learn to use laws and regulations to protect yourself and uphold justice!

"I understand, Mr. Han. I will keep your words in mind and use the law to protect myself. However, I think it's still risky to sue my own client. Do you think it's better to have Sister Luo Yun go to her house and talk to her first?

I've heard of lawyers who sued their clients before, but even though they won the case, they lost the client. All of the client's subsidiaries, third-party companies, and partners terminated their contracts with the law firm. So, isn't that a loss over and above the gain?

"will not!"

Seeing that He Xingyun could consider so much, Han Tao smiled appreciatively, and then said calmly:

"Qiu Jiayi's case is a divorce, not a business case like the one you mentioned, so don't worry, and I've already considered the consequences.

Qiu Jiayi doesn't have the ability to generate such widespread public opinion, and she's not one of those large corporations who prioritizes reputation. If my guess is correct, this lawsuit won't even have to go to court. After receiving the court notice, she'll obediently come and pay."

"I understand. Teacher Han meant to scare her. After all, if she wins the case but doesn't pay the lawyer's fees, no lawyer would take a case like hers!"

He Xingyun was quite smart. After Han Tao's explanation, she immediately understood it and could see that Han Tao had been prepared for it.

It was also obvious a long time ago that Qiu Jiayi was a bad person, otherwise she would not have left the court in the morning, asked Luo Yun to collect the money in the afternoon, and then sued directly.
