Chapter 637 The Person Involved Is Confused
Nearly an hour later, Fang Yi walked out of the court gate, and Li Sancai and the Du family quickly gathered around him.
"Lawyer Fang, how are you?" The aunt looked at Fang Yi eagerly and asked anxiously.
Although Li Sancai and others on the side did not speak, they stretched their necks and cocked their ears, but their eyes were full of expectation.
"The court pronounced in court that Du Xiaosheng was not guilty of rape and can go home today." Fang Yi said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you Lawyer Fang!" The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
The Du family and Li Sancai had been anxiously waiting for news outside the court gate since Fang Yi walked into it, even thinking of the worst outcome. When Fang Yi walked out of the court and told them that Du Xiaosheng was not guilty of rape, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about that? Sancai, please book a hotel reservation. It's noon now. Let's treat Lawyer Fang to a meal." The usually honest and honest uncle was in a good mood. He made a rare decision and wanted to treat Fang Yi to a meal.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'll do it right away." Li Sancai turned back to Fang Yi and said, "Lawyer Fang, let's go first."
In a flash, ten days had passed since Du Xiaosheng's criminal verdict was issued. Fang Yi thought that the procuratorate would protest and then go to the second trial. However, he called the court and was told that the procuratorate had not protested and the verdict had already taken effect.
Du Xiaosheng's case was settled like this, but Fang Yi's troubles came. Zhou Shen had tried his best to invite him to practice in his branch. He originally said that he would give him a week to think about it, but Zhou Shen suddenly went on a business trip and flew to After looking at the project in the south, I called him and told him to talk about it when he came back, so the matter was shelved.
After much deliberation, Fang Yi finally called his friend Li Shuming and asked him to have a drink on the weekend night.
When the afterglow of the sun disappeared in the west and the street lights were all lit, Fang Yi took his son Xiaozhi into the glorious door.
"Dad, Huihuang seems to be less prosperous than before." Xiaozhi walked into the hall and looked around and said.
"Nowadays, there are too many entertainment venues in the city and competition is fierce. In fact, doing business is essentially the same as what you study in school. The core idea is competition.
Students all want to get into a good high school, and businessmen all want to make a lot of money, so everyone competes desperately. In this world, if you are not willing to settle for mediocrity, you have to study hard and climb up.
The area at the bottom of the tower is large, and there are many people standing there. The higher you go up, the fiercer the competition, and the smaller the area inside the tower. After all, only a few people can stand. If you squeeze him out today, he will squeeze you out tomorrow. Yes, some people say it is dark, some people say it is dirty, but this is human nature, there is no right or wrong, black or white.
At any time, there are only a handful of people at the top of the tower, but these few people control huge resources. "Fang Yi said with emotion.
He tilted his head to look at his son and found that Xiaozhi's eyes were a little dazed, so he touched his head and said with a smile: "It may be a little too early to tell you this now. You will understand when you enter society."
Xiao Zhi nodded vaguely understanding.
If parents don’t understand some truths and don’t tell them to their children, the school will not teach them. In the end, the children will have to step on big pits one by one and summarize them step by step. By the time they understand, they will have entered middle age. . There are many children who will never understand the laws of society throughout their lives.
As for those children who will be reincarnated, they may have been taught by their parents' words and deeds since they were sensible, and they understand the rules of survival and the way to make money in society. This is the gap, and it is an irreparable gap.
"What are you two talking about?" Li Shuming walked over with a smile: "Come on, go upstairs, I'll get everyone ready."
An hour later, Xiaozhi went downstairs to take a bath after eating and drinking. Fang Yi and Li Shuming sat opposite each other, with cups and plates on the table in a mess.
"Are you worried?" Li Shuming threw a cigarette to Fang Yi and asked.
After Fang Yi lit it, he took a puff of the cigarette and told him about Zhou Shen's visit, and then asked: "Old Li, I'm quite conflicted now. Director Wan treats me well. I bought a house at home and he bought it for me." The interest-free loan was for five years. Although he didn’t say it, I knew that he wanted to tie me up for five years.
Zhou Shen is my senior brother. He has helped me before. He asked me to go to Beijing to practice. I didn’t agree because of Xiaozhi. Now he wants to open a branch in the city and asked me to go there... To be honest, I'm quite confused.
Please help me think about it. "After Fang Yi finished speaking, he held a cigarette in his right hand and looked at Li Shuming.
"If you ask me, you are a fan of the people involved. Director Wan and Zhou Shen are wooing you because they are interested in your professional ability and your popularity. As for you, you are not good at rejecting people. You always feel that you can't live up to your reputation and think too much. many……
Let me ask you, do you want to always be subordinate to others, or do you want to make your own decisions? "Li Shuming smiled, looked at Fang Yi and asked.
"Being a lawyer is all about making money and freedom. If you want to make money, take on more cases and run around more. If you don't want to make money, take on fewer cases and be pampered." Fang Yi was startled and responded.
"What you said sounds right, but in fact it doesn't work. I still know something about your industry.
Let’s put it this way, service industries are essentially the same. If you don’t have resources, where will your cases come from? If you are tired and don't want to handle the case, you can push it away. If you push it too many times, the relationship will be broken.
Then again, is there a case that you want to solve? If you want to make big money, you don’t have to rely on daily relationships and channels. "Li Shuming stared into Fang Yi's eyes and said seriously.
"Well, you're right." Fang Yi had to admit that Li Shuming thought very clearly.
"Actually, your industry is similar to ours. If you can't do business, you'll be anxious. But when you start doing business, you'll be too busy and don't have enough energy. You'll be just as anxious.
It’s just that our business has become famous, our services have kept up, and our customers are very loyal and can come every day. As for your legal profession, especially your criminal litigation business, if a client comes to you today if he has a criminal case, and tomorrow he has no case, he will not come to you again. That company will have criminal cases for you to handle every day. What you are fighting for is a probability. The greater your reputation and the more people who know you, the greater your chance of receiving a case.
My analysis is correct! "Li Shuming leaned on the chair and smoked a cigarette, looking at Fang Yi with a smile.
"Well, you're right. What next?" Fang Yi replied.
"After you realize the nature of the industry, you can make a choice. In fact, no matter whether you change your employer or not, with your current reputation and social resources, you will definitely not be able to get hungry. But your current resources are still lacking some firepower, and your wings are not yet strong.
Let’s go back to the question I asked you just now, are you willing to be subordinate to others forever? You don’t say it with your mouth, but you definitely don’t want to do it in your heart, because no one with any ability is willing to rely on others.
Only those who have no choice will be like this, which is why most capable people have tempers and are not very gregarious, while those who are incompetent have to hang out in circles.
There is a saying that pigs push forward and chickens dig backwards. Each has its own way. Everyone is in order to survive and each relies on his own ability. "Li Shuming paused and looked at Fang Yi's reaction.
Fang Yi said nothing and nodded.
There’s a lot going on, so I’ll post two chapters first and two more chapters at 6pm!
