i gave myself away

Why should I be a lawyer?Shi Mo has thought about this question many times, and has found many reasonable reasons, such as for responsibility, for recognition, for... and so on, but all the answers are connected in one line, and the conclusion is three words: for money .

A master student who graduated from Peking University at the age of 21. He is talented and has a bright future. After graduation, he returned to his hometown and worked as a Chinese teacher in a key local high school. He is respected and loved by students.However, a year later, the family changed, his father's business failed, he lost tens of millions of dollars, and was heavily in debt. His mother suffered a sudden illness and was forced to sell all his property to treat his mother. However, the serious illness still took his mother's life cruelly.Overnight, the family collapsed, and my father took pleasure in drinking and doing nothing.

What about him?The once glamorous identity bowed in front of the evil money.He had no choice but to step down from the respected podium and step into the mixed world of lawyers. He did not hesitate to violate his conscience for his clients and distorted the facts in order to win the lawsuit. Everything he did ran counter to his 20 years of education and quality.

But he still has to persevere and persevere, just because the profession of lawyer makes more money.

In fact, in the three years since he entered the industry, he has encountered obstacles everywhere, and he has not made a lot of money as planned.

The profession of lawyers is superficially beautiful, but in fact it is quite different.

The lowest-level legal workers, with the meager salaries, resolve neighborhood disputes between villagers and villagers, and they basically miss tens of thousands of cases.The paralegal at the next level, with the salary paid by the lawyer, runs errands for the lawyer, and does the glorious legal work, but like the boss's employees, he is at his disposal.Finally, when it comes to lawyers, fame, contracts signed with law firms, types and targets of cases represented, and even relationships with law firms and other people from all walks of life, all affect the lawyer's status in the industry, and those with low status are looked down upon by others. , high status is sought after.

This is a cruel competitive world. Status determines whether to go uphill in the legal profession and enjoy the high-level treatment of others to curry favor with gifts, or stay at the bottom of the cliff and become the object of ridicule by others.

A layman who became a monk halfway, and a personality that would not be flexible for the client, became the weakness that Shimo could not develop.

He is indeed not suitable to be a lawyer as the supervisor said.

In the next few days, the number and quality of the cases assigned to him by the law firm dropped significantly. They were all trivial civil cases.

Shi Mo was exhausted and exhausted like never before, until something happened, his fatigue value climbed to the peak.

"Your dad gambled with us and lost 2 yuan. See it clearly. Your dad signed it himself. He said that you will settle the gambling debt. Don't talk nonsense, hand over the money!" When he came to the door, Shi Mo was completely dumbfounded.

The words in black and white were indeed his father's handwriting, and Shi Mo's face suddenly turned pale, he tore the IOU in a panic, and shook his drunken father, "Dad, what's going on!"

My father opened his eyes in a daze, the eyeballs rolled around for a while, and his mouth was full of alcohol: "Well...I made a lot of money from gambling recently... Hiccup, I lost [-]... Don't be afraid, I will win it back later, hehe..."

"Dad!" Father fell asleep again, Shi Mo stared blankly at his father, suddenly lost the strength to speak.

The big man asked them to pay back the money within three days, or they would smash their house.

three days?Even in 30 days, he can't pay it! 2 yuan, even if they don't eat or drink, it will take more than three months to pay back!

Shi Mo was going crazy, he couldn't afford that much money at all, so he could only borrow it.

Ask who will borrow it, huh... who will borrow it?Since the family fell into poverty and owed a lot of debts, the ruthless relatives completely cut off contact with them.friend?Hehe, when you are rich, everyone flatters you, and when you are poor, everyone claims to have no money.

Shi Mo has nothing left, except for his face and his dependent father.

He wanted to borrow money from Xie Jincheng at the first moment, but just after the call was made, he pressed it off again.

How can I tell Xie Jincheng that I am poor and can't afford a mere 2 yuan?He couldn't say it at all, he didn't want to peel off his difficulties bloody and show them cruelly in front of Xie Jincheng.That was the only friend he could call a friend, and he didn't dare to use money to explore the friendship between the two, fearing that the debt would affect the meager friendship between the two.

At night, he flipped through the crumpled ledger, saw the red arrears on it, and fell into a long silence.

The next day, he approached his supervisor and offered to take over large and small civil cases, hoping that the supervisor would let him pay four months' salary in advance for the sake of his hard work.The supervisor was worried that those small cases would not be easy to sort out. When he heard that Shi Mo took the initiative to take the job, he immediately agreed and asked the finance to pay Shi Mo four months' salary in advance.

Shi Mo repaid the 2 yuan loan and forbade his father to gamble again. His father laughed while holding the wine bottle, and he didn't know if he listened.

After a month of busy running around, Shi Mo was so tired that he couldn't breathe every day. During this period, Xie Jincheng contacted him twice, wanting to invite him to dinner and chat, but he couldn't spare any time, and almost lost contact with Xie Jincheng.I thought that the relationship between the two would be weak, and then gradually drift away, but I didn't expect the fate of the two to be connected again because of a case.

One afternoon, Shi Mo ran into someone unexpectedly.

"Isn't this Teacher Shi? Long time no see!" On the road, a boy happily greeted him and offered his hand in a friendly way: "Do you remember me? I'm Fang Ping."

The long-lost face came into sight, Shi Mo looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person, he was stunned for a long time before he recognized the other person.

How long has it been since I saw this student and heard "Mr. Shi"?

Fang Ping is the smartest student he has ever taught. His academic performance is among the best, and he likes to study hard. He often discusses academic issues with him. He likes this student very much.The year he resigned, Fang Ping just graduated from high school, so he should be studying at university now.

Shi Mo happily held Fang Ping's hand, and patted his arm: "Long time no see, Fang Ping, I've lost a lot of weight, I almost couldn't recognize him." The person I was joking with, I didn't expect to see him for two years, and he became a handsome guy.

"Hi, tired and thin." Fang Ping asked, "Mr. Shi, I heard that you became a lawyer after resigning. Are you still a lawyer now?"

Shi Mo nodded: "It's still."

"Great!" Fang Ping slapped his thigh and said happily, "I happen to have a case that I need to find a lawyer. Mr. Shi... Oh no, I should honor you as 'Lawyer Shi'. When is convenient for you, I will give it to you." Tell me about the situation."

"You can do it now."

After sitting down in a nearby coffee shop, Fang Ping eloquently told what happened.

It turned out that Fang Ping started his own business with the financial support of his family. He partnered with his relatives to set up a computer business department to sell computers to the outside world.One day, a technology company wanted to purchase [-] desktop computers. The two parties signed a goods sales contract, agreeing that the company would pay part of the money first, and then the computer business department would deliver the goods to the company. The company counted the quantity of the goods, signed for confirmation, and finally The company transfers the balance into the account of the computer operation department.

According to the contract, the computer business department sent the computer to the company in time, and the company's staff checked and signed it after acceptance, and everything went smoothly.

Who knew that when the company was waiting for the balance to be paid, the company claimed that it had not received the goods, and that the person who signed for the goods was not an employee of the company. The two parties had communicated for a long time, but the company refused to accept the account. Fang Ping had no choice but to resort to litigation.

"How can there be such a rogue company!" Fang Ping slapped his thigh angrily, "They even said that they never signed a contract with us, and that the contract was signed by someone else using the name of the company, which is too much!"

"You didn't find the person in charge who signed the contract with you at the beginning?" Shi Mo only listened to the facts of the case and didn't look at the evidence, so it was difficult to express a definite opinion.

"I found it! The phone was turned off and I went to the company to look for it. The company said that there was no such person here. You said it was shameless? At that time, we saw his business card and work card, and went to the company to verify the identity of this person. Who would have thought... …Alas, if companies won’t pay, we’re short of liquidity and losing money.”

Shi Mo frowned: "How much does the company owe you in total?"

"More than 500 million yuan," Fang Ping sighed, "They are technology companies, and they buy computers with the best performance, and each one costs tens of thousands of yuan."

The target amount is more than 500 million? !Shi Mo was ecstatic, if he could find a way to get a little service fee, he would be able to pay off his debts!It can also increase your reputation, get rid of the low-level contract with the law firm as soon as possible, and kill two birds with one stone.This case is also not complicated, it is easy to do.

Shi Mo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help leaning forward, afraid of missing something: "Do you have the original evidence such as the "Receipt Confirmation"?"

"Yes, we are very cautious. We have preserved all the evidence, and we are waiting for an eloquent lawyer to help us. Attorney Shi, if possible, would you be convenient to take this case?" Fang Ping inquired.

"Of course, as long as you don't dislike my poor skills and let me act as an agent, I will definitely accept it." Shi Mo's voice became excited, as if representing this case was a certainty.

"At that time, the level of lawyers was so high, I was afraid that our small case would not catch your attention." Fang Ping had a happy smile on his face, "I have to go back and ask the opinions of other partners in the company, and I will contact you when the time comes. How about it?"

Shi Mo readily handed over his business card: "No problem, here is my business card, please contact me if you need it."

After bidding farewell to Fang Ping, Shi Mo returned home excitedly, opened the heavy ledger, and calculated the numbers on it with a calculator. His smile became brighter and brighter like a blooming flower. After paying the debt, he stopped eating steamed buns. Now, he wants to eat seafood, eat barbecue, buy new clothes and shoes, find a girlfriend, marry a wife and have children, and reach the peak of his career from then on.He even started racking his brains to think about how to tell Fang Ping to give him more service fees.

"Fang Ping, the price of goods has risen recently... Oh no, cough, Fang Ping, you know that the transportation expenses incurred by the lawyer to obtain evidence are paid by the client, so..." Shi Mo foolishly rehearsed his speech in front of the mirror And the expression, "Okay, let's just say that." Enough madness, facing the arrears on the account book that were about to be written off, he laughed and fell on the bed with the account book in his arms, enjoying the time since he slept. The most secure feeling.

However, a beautiful fantasy, like a bubble, is bright and bright on the surface, but the essence is vulnerable, and it will burst with a poke.
