410: Hire a lawyer!
“I don’t care how much it costs; I just hope we can help Dr. Hai appeal as soon as possible,” Liu Xiaolin said seriously. “I believe every day Dr. Hai spends in prison is a tremendous waste.”
“Why are you so concerned about Dr. Hai?” Zhang Sanjian asked curiously.
“Dr. Hai is a ‘Science and Technology Expert’ recognized by the Ministry of Science and Technology. He should be doing research in a technology development position,” Liu Xiaolin said with a sigh. “Can you imagine a scientist wasting his time sewing in prison? When I think of that, I wish I could break him out of jail, do you believe me? So, even if it means getting Dr. Hai back an hour earlier, I’m willing to pay more.”
Zhang Sanjian was deeply moved by Liu Xiaolin’s words. Liu Xiaolin was not only a righteous person but also someone who valued talent. That’s why he would go to such lengths for Hai Zhezhe!
He had been a lawyer for many years and had seen many people involved in lawsuits who would stop at nothing for their own benefit. Only Liu Xiaolin was willing to pay so much for a scientist he had just met. Such character was truly moving.
Furthermore, he bought his cousin’s house and even offered to pay compensation for the renovations, which showed that he was not someone driven by profit.
Such a person had pleaded with him repeatedly, and he was also connected to the leaders of the Ministry of Science and Technology, so there was no need to worry about Deputy Mayor Tan’s retaliation. Under these circumstances, what reason was there to refuse?
“Since you are so sincere, I will agree to your request.” After some internal struggle, Zhang Sanjian finally made up his mind.
“Really? That’s great!” Liu Xiaolin cheered happily.
“Of course, it’s true! Your persistence moved me,” Zhang Sanjian said with a smile. “No matter what happens, I will persevere and seek justice for Dr. Hai.”
“Thank you, Lawyer Zhang! I will contact the lawyers Director Zhao recommended to us and see who among them is willing to cooperate with you to form a Lawyer Team.” Liu Xiaolin thought for a moment and said, “I hope more and more lawyers will get involved, so that in the complex appeal work, everyone can fulfill their respective duties and accelerate the appeal process as much as possible.”
“I agree with you. Although you currently have some evidence, it will take some time to organize this evidence and link it to our legal provisions. With more people, this timeframe can be significantly accelerated.”
“Okay, since Lawyer Zhang has said so, I’ll make the call now.” Liu Xiaolin remembered that he hadn’t contacted the lawyers after getting their information and phone numbers yesterday.
“Hmm, you contact them. Any lawyer willing to join our Lawyer Team can report to our law firm. My office can serve as our Lawyer Team’s workspace.” Zhang Sanjian had already started planning the office location.
“Your office?” Liu Xiaolin thought for a moment and said, “Or, this place could be our Lawyer Team’s workspace, right?”
“Here? Aren’t you going to live here yourself?” Zhang Sanjian asked, puzzled.
“Yes, I’ll only be here to sleep at night. During the day, I’ll be with you all, researching materials, or going to Haizhe Technology to find information,” Liu Xiaolin said. “Moreover, this place has three bedrooms and a living room, which is enough for everyone to work. If any lawyers don’t have a place to stay, they can also live here.”
Zhang Sanjian thought Liu Xiaolin’s words made sense. It would be inconvenient for lawyers from out of town to stay in hotels and travel back and forth.
There would be no such trouble here. The large living room could be used for office work, and the three bedrooms could be used for rest. They just needed to connect to the internet and buy a printer. There was no need to buy computers, as everyone would surely have laptops.
“Alright, if you don’t find it troublesome, then I won’t object either. But this place lacks office supplies,” Zhang Sanjian said.
“I know. After I finish the transfer, I’ll go buy office supplies. Desks, computers, printers… do we need anything else?” Liu Xiaolin asked.
“No need for computers; everyone has laptops. We might not even need to buy office desks; there are desks in the bedrooms that can be moved out and used as office desks. A printer is a must-buy; we’ll need a lot of printing and copying for preparing documents,” Zhang Sanjian expressed his thoughts.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. We’ll just buy a printer,” Liu Xiaolin said.
“You just said you were going to call the lawyers, but I interrupted you and you forgot. Call them now and see how many lawyers are willing to come help,” Zhang Sanjian said with a smile. “We hope for a Han Xin’s troop deployment – the more the better.”
“Director Zhao recommended a total of four lawyers. If they all come, that’s four,” Liu Xiaolin said, frowning. “If you’re worried about not having enough people, you can find a few more lawyers locally.”
“No, no, no. With me, that makes a five-person Lawyer Team. That should be enough manpower,” Zhang Sanjian quickly shook his head and said.
“Okay, I’ll call now!” Seeing that Zhang Sanjian had agreed, Liu Xiaolin suddenly felt much more confident about inviting those lawyers.
“Alright, call them quickly. I’m a bit impatient to start working,” Zhang Sanjian actually started urging him.
Liu Xiaolin took out his phone and started making calls.
His opening line to all four lawyers was the same: “Hello, I’m Liu Xiaolin. Director Zhao from the Ministry of Science and Technology recommended you to me to handle an economic case.”
Then, he briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter.
“So, I hope to get your help. I hope you can help Dr. Hai, successfully appeal for him, and let him return to his technology development position as soon as possible to continue being a respected scientist, a scientist who contributes to society.” After Liu Xiaolin finished his closing remarks, even he was deeply moved.
Under these circumstances, all four lawyers he invited agreed to his request.
The names and ages of the four lawyers are as follows:
Su Allen, forty-one years old, graduated from Longguo University with a law degree, worked as a lawyer for twelve years;
Wang Luhu, thirty-six years old, graduated from Longguo University with a law degree, worked as a lawyer for ten years;
Lu Xiaohui, thirty-two years old, graduated from Longguo University with a law degree, worked as a lawyer for eight years;
Chen Chusheng, thirty-four years old, holds a master’s degree in law from Longguo University, worked as a lawyer for six years.
They all had one common characteristic: they all graduated from Longguo University. Because they were so outstanding, they were all snatched up by local law firms, working as lawyers since graduation, and all specializing in economic cases.
The people recommended by Director Zhao of the Ministry of Science and Technology certainly couldn't be wrong.
“Goodness, these four lawyers you found are all industry elites. Isn’t it a bit of a waste of their talent to work under me?” Zhang Sanjian said with some concern when he heard about these famous lawyers.
