Chapter 67: The Law Firm’s Honorary Banner: Ace Senior Lawyer!
Baijun Law Firm.
The seventh day after the hearing concluded.
Su Bai leaned against the sofa, leisurely drinking tea.
Tsk.
“This tea that costs 2,999 yuan for 1,500 grams (≈3.3 lb) tastes considerably better than tea that costs 9.9 yuan.”
Su Bai took a sip of tea and quietly remarked.
As he completed one lawsuit after another, the tea he drank also became increasingly expensive.
This time it was tea costing 2,999 for 1,500 grams (≈3.3 lb)
The tea entered his mouth.
Su Bai placed the teacup on the table.
Wan Henghao’s case had now come to a temporary conclusion.
Regardless of whether Wu Qi filed a second instance appeal, Wan Henghao’s entrusted matter concerning unpaid wages had effectively been completed, and the probability of Wu Qi winning in the second instance was so small as to be negligible.
His imprisonment was essentially certain.
After Wan Henghao’s case ended, Xiao Haibo had even specifically called to ask about the progress of the hearing.
After all, he had introduced this case.
Upon learning that Wu Qi had been sent in for the crime of refusing to pay remuneration, he was somewhat surprised.
This was because, no matter how one looked at it, the foundation of the matter was a civil labor law dispute.
Yet in a civil case, Su Bai had directly handled it through criminal means.
Upon further reflection, however, this did indeed accord with Su Bai’s style.
It suddenly no longer seemed particularly strange.
The two exchanged pleasantries on the telephone for a while, further strengthened their rapport, and then ended the call.
This time, the court’s written judgment was delivered rather quickly, although it had originally been stated that it would be sent to all parties within ten days.
Within seven days.
The written judgment in Wan Henghao’s case had already been delivered to Baijun Law Firm.
After the written judgment arrived, Su Bai contacted Wan Henghao and asked him to come to the law firm to collect it.
The matter was communicated at around twelve noon.
At approximately 2:10 in the afternoon, Wan Henghao and his wife Ye Jiao arrived at Baijun Law Firm.
Baijun Law Firm.
Inside the office.
On the sofa, Su Bai sat opposite Wan Henghao and his wife Ye Jiao, while Li Xuezhen sat slightly to Su Bai’s right.
Both Wan Henghao and Ye Jiao wore sincere smiles on their faces.
“This is the court’s written judgment, please keep it carefully, it may possibly still be useful in the future.”
Su Bai handed the written judgment to the two of them.
Wan Henghao extended his hand, slowly received the written judgment, carefully folded it, and placed it into his pocket.
Immediately afterward, he took out his backpack, opened it, and pulled out an honorary banner from inside.
Left side of the banner: One hundred percent win rate, ace senior lawyer Su!
Right side of the banner: For litigation, Baijun Law Firm is the right choice!
“Lawyer Su, this time in our case, the attorney’s fees and litigation costs were all borne by the opposing party, so in reality we ourselves did not provide much of anything.”
“I kept thinking that this time you helped us with such an important matter.”
“We absolutely had to express our gratitude.”
“So we had this honorary banner made, Lawyer Su, do you think it is acceptable?”
Su Bai looked at the honorary banner.
Acceptable!
More than acceptable!
For a lawyer, what is the highest form of recognition?
Was it not the sincere recognition of a client?
The giving of an honorary banner could be said to be among the highest forms of acknowledgment from a client.
“Yes, I like it very much, thank you for your recognition of our Baijun Law Firm.”
Su Bai accepted the honorary banner with both hands, and then solemnly handed it to Li Xuezhen.
Li Xuezhen naturally understood that this was the law firm’s “signboard,” and she was naturally very pleased in her heart.
Seeing that Su Bai liked it, the smiles on the faces of Wan Henghao and Ye Jiao grew even warmer.
It was evident that the two of them were sincerely grateful to Su Bai.
Immediately afterward.
Su Bai was preparing to speak briefly with Wan Henghao about the subsequent enforcement of the court judgment.
Yet unexpectedly, Wan Henghao had already received the unpaid wages, the interest, and the subsequent related compensation two days earlier.
“Lawyer Su.”
“I have already received the wages that were owed to me, the interest, and the compensation for the harm caused to me.”
“On the second day after the hearing concluded, those two bosses, Xie Yu and Dong Qiang, hurriedly came to find me and told me to calculate how much money and compensation I should receive.”
“I followed what you had previously told me, Lawyer Su, and stated to them the approximate amount of compensation.”
“They agreed to the amount of compensation I stated without any hesitation, and yesterday the wages owed to me, the interest, and the related compensation were transferred into my bank account.”
“Lawyer Su, I think they were afraid that you would send them in as well.”
“That is why they were so proactive in discussing compensation with me.”
Su Bai: “?”
Send them in as well?
Silence.
He was a lawyer and had to act in accordance with legal provisions, it was not as though he could send in whomever he wished.
But overall, the fact that Xie Yu and Dong Qiang feared trouble and proactively approached Wan Henghao and actively paid the owed wages, interest, and corresponding compensation was a good thing.
Cough.
Su Bai cleared his throat and said: “Since the opposing party has already paid your corresponding wages and compensation, and you have now received them, that is a good thing.”
“Yes, exactly!”
Wan Henghao smiled and nodded, then continued:
“Lawyer Su, in coming here this time, there is one more matter on which I would like to consult you.”
“It is that I know quite a few acquaintances from the company, and they too have had wages withheld, some have had relatively small amounts withheld, and some relatively large amounts, so I would like to ask Lawyer Su what should be done in such circumstances?”
Su Bai took a sip of water: “In such circumstances, previously it would first have been necessary to litigate the issue of revoking the equity transfer agreement.”
“However, the court has already determined that the equity transfer agreement among Wu Qi, Xie Yu, and Dong Qiang is invalid, so corresponding evidentiary materials can now be submitted directly to the labor supervision authorities.”
“The labor supervision authorities will handle the remainder and will contact them, and if they still do not address the matter, then after the labor supervision enforcement document is issued, if they continue not to address it, the matter can be transferred directly to the court.”
“It will be sufficient to proceed according to this process.”
After hearing Su Bai’s words, Wan Henghao nodded seriously: “Understood, Lawyer Su, I am clear now.”
“Very well.”
Su Bai nodded with a smile.
Wan Henghao then remained at the law firm and spoke with Su Bai for nearly another twenty minutes, after which he left the law firm.
After he had left.
Li Xuezhen asked: “Lawyer Su, where should we hang this honorary banner?”
“Should it be hung in your office?”
Su Bai took the honorary banner from Li Xuezhen’s hands, examined it seriously for a moment, and his eyes showed satisfaction.
“To hang it in my office alone would not be enough, that place is far too inconspicuous, this honorary banner is equivalent to the client’s recognition of us, it is our second signboard, do you understand?”
“I understand.”
“Where in our law firm is the place most immediately visible at a glance?”
“The front desk consultation area?”
“Yes.” Su Bai thought for two seconds, and the front desk consultation area was indeed the most conspicuous place at present.
“Then let us hang it first in the front desk consultation area, hang it a little higher and make it a little clearer, after all this is the first honorary banner our law firm has received, so it must be treated seriously.”
“Understood, Lawyer Su.”
Li Xuezhen’s eyes lit up, and she hurried off to hang the honorary banner.
