Chapter 151: Further Understanding

Baijun law Firm.

Inside the office.

Li Xuezhen handed Su Bai the rough content of her chat with Ma Cheng for him to look at.

“Lawyer Su.”

“I have already conveyed it to that prospective client, and told him that our law firm can take this case.

This is the message that prospective client replied with. The other party is asking approximately what time it would be possible to arrange a meeting.”

Su Bai took the phone and looked at the message Ma Cheng had replied with.

“Lawyer Su. Okay okay.”

“Thank you Lawyer Su for being willing to take our case. Thank you, thank you.”

“Lawyer Su, I do not know when it would be suitable for us to come see you. When does Lawyer Su recently have time?”

“Lawyer Su, we are free at any time. Whenever Lawyer Su has time, just tell us.”

“Thank you Lawyer Su.”

Looking at the words on the screen.

Su Bai could perceive the other party’s carefulness.

It seemed as though he was afraid that Su Bai would refuse to take this case.

Thinking about it, that was also normal.

Real estate dispute cases were originally troublesome cases, and many lawyers were unwilling to accept this kind of complicated case with little money and many matters.

It seemed that ever since beginning rights protection efforts, this prospective client had asked quite a few lawyers, and the answers he received had all been rather discouraging.

Su Bai took a deep breath, and that was also true.

For this kind of difficult dispute case, an ordinary lawyer might not necessarily be able to guarantee victory in the lawsuit.

There was also the fact that real estate dispute cases were too troublesome, and if entrusted, they were too difficult to handle.

Especially completing the other party’s litigation demands was not easy.

Once it was not completed, the lawsuit was equivalent to having been fought in vain, and most clients often would refuse to acknowledge responsibility.

He had previously chatted with Xiao Haibo.

As a first rate civil lawyer in Nandu, Xiao Haibo generally was also too unwilling to take this kind of case.

Su Bai handed the phone back to Li Xuezhen and then said:

“Tomorrow the Lawyers Association has a meeting, and I have to go attend it together with Lawyer Xiao.”

“Today there is already not enough time, let us arrange it for the day after tomorrow.”

“Oh.”

“Okay Lawyer Su.”

“Then Lawyer Su, can I arrange it for two o’clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow?”

Su Bai smiled and nodded: “Yes, let us arrange it for that time.”

After confirming the time, Su Bai drank a sip of tea.

He then gained a general understanding of the developer of Nandu Xiushui Garden.

The developer of Nandu Xiushui Garden was a small local developer in Nandu.

It did not have many real estate projects.

The delivery date of Nandu Xiushui Garden ought to have been one year ago.

But at present it had already been unfinished for a year, and the developer still had not given any explanation at all.

During that period, the homeowners had organized rights protection efforts many times and demanded an explanation from the developer, but all came to nothing.

The response obtained from the rights protection efforts was only one sentence: they guaranteed that the apartments would be delivered, and the project would definitely not remain unfinished.

But in reality, there was not even a single construction worker at the construction site of Xiushui Garden.

During each rights protection period, the real estate side would send two symbolic workers to work on the construction site.

Once the rights protection effort ended, even the symbolic workers were withdrawn.

It had to be said that the developer was relatively practiced in using this method.

“I have more or less understood the specific basic information.”

Su Bai silently thought to himself.

Now he could only wait until meeting the client and then speak after understanding the circumstances further.

The next day.

Nine o’clock in the morning.

Xiao Haibo called Su Bai early: “Lawyer Su, today’s meeting is at ten in the morning, are you ready?”

“I am ready.”

“I will come pick you up!”

“Then I will trouble Lawyer Su!”

After the call ended, Su Bai drove with Xiao Haibo to the location of this Lawyers Association meeting.

This time the Lawyers Association had invited approximately seventy or eighty people.

Su Bai also saw an acquaintance, Jiang Min.

Jiang Min’s seat, relative to Su Bai, was not far away.

But.

After Jiang Min saw Su Bai, his expression looked somewhat unnatural.

That was also understandable.

Su Bai simply countered their Nanyuan Law Firm by natural advantage.

Not even mentioning Ye Fei.

Just speaking of Zhang Xiao, ever since the boss for whom he had provided a defense was sent in, up to now Zhang Xiao’s entrusted reputation still had not recovered.

And after he himself carried out sentence reduction defense for Qin Xiaofeng, Nanyuan Law Firm was exposed online.

The business of Nanyuan Law Firm was seriously damaged.

Although online public opinion passed quickly, ordinary people generally looked at reputation and prestige when choosing a law firm.

Once they checked online and saw Nanyuan Law Firm.

Good fellow, with so much negative material, they definitely would not choose to cooperate with Nanyuan Law Firm.

At present, compared with before, the business volume of Nanyuan Law Firm had decreased by nearly 30 percent.

Therefore in Jiang Min’s view, Su Bai was completely the nemesis of Nanyuan Law Firm.

After exchanging one glance with Su Bai, Jiang Min turned his head and did not continue looking in Su Bai’s direction.

Su Bai smiled and did not pay too much attention to it, and sat in his own seat.

After the meeting procedures arranged by the Lawyers Association were completed.

Xiao Haibo also took Su Bai around within the law firm circle to meet some other first rate lawyers from other law firms.

How should it be said.

Although at present Baijun law Firm belonged to the top tier of criminal law firms in Nandu.

To put it plainly, the foundation of Baijun law Firm was not deep.

Su Bai did not know many of those first rate lawyers.

In the legal circle, what was the most important thing?

The most important thing was personal connections.

Generally speaking, after one had personal connections, then one had case sources.

There was also the fact that lawyers would mutually exchange views on how certain presiding judges at a certain court or certain procedures of a court should be handled.

Everyone formed a small circle and engaged in mutual benefit.

This was the benefit brought by personal connections.

However.

In the Nandu legal circle, the largest network of relationships was composed of lawyers who had graduated from Nandu University of Law.

Regarding this.

Hiss. Among the people Su Bai currently knew, the one with the strongest network of personal connections was still Li Xuezhen.

It was all social maneuvering!!

Su Bai silently thought in his heart.

At this time, Xiao Haibo smiled and introduced several friends to Su Bai.

“Lawyer Su, this is Lawyer Wang, a graduate of the Nandu University of Law class of 1989.”

“This is Lawyer An from Hemi Law Firm, who is skilled in handling economic disputes.”

“And Lawyer Bai from Ceyi Law Firm, Lawyer Bai can be said to be a top first rate lawyer in civil disputes here in Nandu.”

“Gentlemen, this is Lawyer Su, the Lawyer Su from Baijun law Firm who has recently become very famous in our Nandu law firm circle.”

After Xiao Haibo introduced the identities and relationships of everyone present to one another, everyone greeted each other politely.

Bai Linping smiled and said:

“Lawyer Su, I had long heard of you. Seeing you today, I did not expect that Lawyer Su is still so young and yet has already argued so many classic cases.”

“Lawyer Su is impressive!”

“No, no, for me, all of you are the seniors, and I still need to learn much from all of you seniors and continue making progress.”

The other two, Lawyer An and Lawyer Wang, also smiled and spoke.

“How are we seniors, in our legal profession although seniority is discussed, in reality what still has to be seen is courtroom ability.”

“Now the achievements Baijun law Firm has obtained in criminal litigation, who among the law firms in Nandu does not know of them?”

“Lawyer Su is still so young, and perhaps in the future he may even establish a red circle firm. We think Baijun law Firm has this potential.”

“No. You seniors flatter me. Luck, luck, it is all luck.”

Su Bai and the other several lawyers mutually praised one another and spoke modestly.

After all, how should it be said.

Although law firms had a competitive relationship with one another, they also had a cooperative relationship.

Everyone was in the same circle, all had mutual friends, and their own legal standards were all relatively high.

After meeting, naturally they would get to know one another and praise one another.

Showing off and striking faces simply did not exist, because it did not conform to realistic logic, nor did it conform to everyone’s logic of interests.

Who would be willing for no reason at all to provoke a lawyer with prospects or provoke a deeply experienced senior?

No one would do that.

After several of them got to know one another and left contact information.

Under Xiao Haibo’s introduction, they also had a meal together and discussed issues regarding development between law firms.

Of course, the most crucial point was whether cooperation was possible.

After all.

Those other several people had watched with their own eyes that ever since Haifang Law Firm cooperated with Baijun law Firm, its business volume had improved greatly.

As for cooperation, Su Bai naturally hoped that Baijun law Firm would cooperate with other law firms.

Cooperation and mutual benefit.

As long as it was mutually beneficial, he could accept those things.

After simply having a meal and chatting about general intentions, once it ended.

Su Bai and Xiao Haibo returned to Haifang Law Firm.

Inside the office.

Xiao Haibo smiled and said: “Lawyer Su, the people you met today are all old friends of mine in the circle.”

“Lawyer Su, was the interaction acceptable?”

Su Bai smiled and nodded: “These few lawyers are all lawyers and senior partners from first rate law firms in Nandu. I should also thank Lawyer Xiao for building the bridge and leading the way for me.”

“Being able to cooperate with these several law firms can also be considered fortunate for our Baijun law Firm.”

“What are you being polite for. To tell the truth, those friends of mine had all kept saying they wanted to meet Lawyer Su, and this time I was also helping them with that.”

Su Bai smiled and nodded, then after chatting a few more sentences on this topic, he shifted the subject.

“Oh right.”

“Lawyer Xiao, do you know much about real estate dispute cases here in Nandu?”

“I want to inquire of you about a real estate company.”

“A real estate company?”

Xiao Haibo said: “My understanding of real estate disputes in Nandu is fairly acceptable, and Haifang Law Firm also has quite a few lawsuits involving real estate disputes.

Lawyer Su, your law firm has now begun taking on real estate dispute lawsuits as well?

Tell me, which real estate company is it?”

Su Bai smiled: “Our law firm intends to expand civil litigation somewhat.”

“Recently we encountered a real estate related dispute, and that real estate company is called Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd.”

Xiao Haibo thought for several seconds and slowly said: “I have some impression, Lawyer Su wait a moment.”

After saying that, he took his phone and looked through it. One minute passed, and Xiao Haibo put down his phone and looked at Su Bai.

“I just looked through my phone and remembered this Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd. Is this Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd. the one that built a real estate project called Xiushui Garden?”

Su Bai nodded: “There is indeed this project.”

“Then that is right!”

“One year ago, when our Haifang Law Firm was developing real estate dispute business, quite a few purchasers in this residential complex came to consult our Haifang Law Firm about what should be done regarding the unfinished Xiushui Garden real estate project dispute case.”

“One lawyer of our Haifang Law Firm took this case, but later, how should it be said, this case was too complicated.”

“It was possible to win the lawsuit, but it was impossible to obtain the money, and so we did not continue taking this case.”

“Lawyer Su, if you take this case, the difficulty will be very high.”

Su Bai smiled and nodded: “It is indeed very high, but if we want to expand our civil business, then our law firm still has to take this case.”

After thinking slightly, Xiao Haibo nodded: “Lawyer Su, I believe that you can handle this case well, but our law firm truly does not know very much about it.”

“If there is anything needed, as long as I can help, I will definitely help.”

“Thank you. Having this sentence from Lawyer Xiao is already enough.”

Su Bai said with a smile.

He had originally only asked casually.

After chatting with Xiao Haibo, Su Bai left Haifang Law Firm.

At the same time.

Nandu University of Law.

Inside the girls’ dormitory.

Li Xuezhen was collecting lawsuit cases relating to Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd.

The more she understood, the more deeply her brows furrowed.

Was this Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd. deliberately deceiving people?

According to the content displayed on the enterprise inquiry platform, Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd. currently had nearly twelve cases involving major risk.

This.

Could it be that this Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd. wanted to go bankrupt?

Once it went bankrupt.

Then the purchasers of Xiushui Garden.

How could Nanjian Real Estate Co., Ltd. be so bad?!

Li Xuezhen looked at the materials she had found, her small face puffed up with anger.

At this time, Old Li called.

Li Xuezhen lightly exhaled, calmed her emotions down, and then answered the call.

“Dad.”

On the other end of the phone, after Old Li heard Li Xuechun’s voice, as a doting father to his daughter he smiled with narrowed eyes.

“Xuezhen!”

“You are about to graduate now, and I heard from your Teacher Feng that you are planning to stay in Nandu for development in the future, right?”

“Yes Dad.”

“It is like this, since you plan to stay in Nandu for development in the future, and graduation is approaching, your dad plans to buy you a house so that you can live in it temporarily.”

“Your dad does not know what kind you like, so recently you should first look to see whether there are any good houses, and when you need money, tell your dad.”

“I will transfer it to you.”

“Dad, I do not need it for the time being.”

“So that is how it is. Alright then, whenever you need it, tell Dad whenever the time comes.”

“Okay, Dad.”

After the call ended, Old Li slightly frowned.

She did not want to buy a house?

Alright then.

After he finished with those two plots of land in Beidu, he would go to Nandu and see whether there was any land there.

Old Li looked in the direction of his hometown and could not help sighing.

Coal mining was still better.
