Chapter 596: Chapter 481: Zhang Wei Makes His Entrance, Death Penalty as the Starting Point!
Hearing Zhang Wei say this.
Zhang Fei: "..."
Who in the family understands? The master just turned around and took an 800,000-dollar big order!
The crucial thing is, Jiang Yan insists on offering 800,000, without any willingness to bargain.
If Jiang Yan had let Zhang Wei say just one word, Zhang Wei would have been willing to take on this case for 80,000.
Not every lawyer charges hundreds of thousands for a case. For most lawyers, making twenty to thirty thousand per case is already a lot.
Even if a case is particularly complex, it generally only takes a few months to resolve.
....
Zhang Wei started to study Lin Helong’s case.
If he wants to achieve the client’s demands, then he must figure out a way to keep Lin Helong from being jailed or reduce the prison time to less than three years.
But looking at it now, even with Xie Tongtong’s written letter of understanding, it’s impossible for Lin Helong to serve less than three years.
Lin Helong disabled someone else and even with compensation, even if forgiven, he’d probably get sentenced to about five years.
Three years? Out of the question.
Then the only way is to find a way to defend Lin Helong from the death penalty.
No choice, Zhang Wei has no choice; he does all this to meet the client’s demands.
After all, some clients might really feel that prison is too harsh...
Zhang Wei recently rewatched the series "Princess Pearl."
In it, there’s such a scene.
Nanny Rong is being beaten... clearly, being beaten is too painful.
So the Empress tells the Emperor, better to grant death, Your Majesty.
What does this illustrate?
If a person has to suffer, it’s better to give them death directly.
Zhang Wei finds this very reasonable as well.
Rather than having Nanny Rong endure such torment, it’s better to grant her death.
Isn’t this case similar to Lin Helong’s?
Lin Helong is supposed to be jailed for such a long time... And Lin Helong cannot go to jail...
No one in Lin Helong’s family wants him to be jailed; as long as Lin Helong doesn’t go to jail, everything else is acceptable.
Prison is too harsh.
Zhang Wei, inspired by "Princess Pearl," thought of a new way to fulfill the client’s demands!
Since the client doesn’t want to be jailed, and there’s no legal solution.
Zhang Wei had to pull out the big guns.
No choice, the client’s demands were unreasonable from the start...
It’s just that clients making unreasonable demands is also perfectly normal.
If he can find another way to help the client fulfill their demands, wouldn’t that be an overtake on a curve, and that’s a kind of victory, too.
Thinking from the client’s perspective is the reason why Zhang Wei has no bad reviews to this day.
No complaints, no bad reviews.
And people keep presenting Zhang Wei with banners...
Zhang Wei’s status at the law firm is also steadily rising.
In the lawsuits Zhang Wei has taken on this year, apart from those against Gu Chen, he hasn’t actually lost any.
Even when facing Gu Chen, in every lawsuit Zhang Wei has handled, which one didn’t meet the client’s demands?
Soon, Zhang Fei also got a grasp of the case.
Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Wei and anxiously said: "Master, do you know who the plaintiff’s defense lawyer is in Lin Helong’s case?"
Zhang Wei lifted his gaze and asked, "Who is it?"
Zhang Fei replied: "Gu Chen! It’s Lawyer Gu again! Lawyer Gu has taken the case!"
Zhang Fei was a bit anxious.
After all, who doesn’t know now that Gu Chen is a "Lawless Madman."
Gu Chen’s winning streak in lawsuits is still at 100%, never lost a single case.
And previously, both he and Zhang Wei had gone up against Gu Chen in court.
The ultimate outcome was without exception, they all ended up losing.
Fortunately, they fulfilled the client’s legal requests and didn’t receive any client complaints.
But the opponent being Gu Chen is still very intimidating.
What if Gu Chen outperforms and puts them all inside?
Zhang Wei said, "What, are you scared?"
Zhang Fei said, "No... in this case, Lin Helong is already on the wrong side of the law. We’re at a disadvantage, and facing Gu Chen, we’re going to lose for sure. What should we do?"
Zhang Fei was still a bit worried...
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "You don’t need to worry about who the opposing lawyer is; it doesn’t matter who the opposing lawyer is. In our line of work, it’s important to consider the client’s needs. The client’s needs are what’s most important. As long as we fulfill the client’s requirements, what else matters? Obviously, it doesn’t."
Zhang Wei said, "As far as I’m concerned, as long as I can fulfill the client’s needs, that’s enough. This lawsuit was not going to be won anyway, right? The client knows they’ll lose for sure but still has their own demands, hoping we’ll help solve their needs, correct?"
Zhang Fei suddenly understood, "Master, I understand everything now."
Zhang Wei nodded.
Zhang Wei decided to delve deeply into the particulars of this case.
To achieve the client’s demands, it’s essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the client’s situation.
Thus, Zhang Wei decided to visit Lin Helong’s house to understand the situation on the ground.
After all, this case is quite complicated....
Only by understanding the specific situation can the right measures be taken.
As a result, when Zhang Wei arrived at Lin Helong’s house, although he hadn’t seen Jiang Yan, he witnessed such a scene.
Zhang Wei’s mouth hung open, a bit shocked, and he secretly recorded it on his phone.
So Zhang Wei quietly put away his phone and then walked into Lin Helong’s house, pretending as if nothing happened.
After understanding everything, Zhang Wei was quite pleased.
This case can finally meet the client’s demands!
However, the process was somewhat thrilling.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei had strong mental fortitude; otherwise, whether he’d manage to leave Lin Helong’s house would’ve been a problem.
