Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 472 - 416: Ten-Million Annual Salary, Major Companies Competing for Gu Chen
[I’m supporting Gu Chen in this lawsuit!]
[I’m totally confused now. Did Wang Xiaoru really cheat? Did Shen Fei actually commit domestic violence? Wang Xiaoru talks about Shen Fei online every day, but Shen Fei never comes forward to prove his innocence. I don’t know who to believe....] 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
[Just trust Gu Chen unconditionally. Have you ever seen Lawyer Gu lose a case?]
....
Netizens are all expressing their opinions.
The time for the second trial is drawing closer and closer.
Gu Chen and Xue Qingqing returned to Yun City.
Gu Chen arrived at the Yuncheng Intermediate People’s Court to double-check the final files and documents in preparation for tomorrow’s trial.
Upon arriving at the court, he met the presiding judge, Shen Jiarui.
Gu Chen and Shen Jiarui were quite familiar with each other, having had previous cases where Shen Jiarui was the presiding judge....
There were other staff members in the court who also recognized Gu Chen.
"Hello, Teacher Gu."
"Hello, Teacher Gu, are you here for work at the court?"
"Teacher Gu, do you need any help? I work here and I’m familiar with everything."
"Teacher Gu, can I add you on WeChat?"
All the court staff knew Gu Chen.
Even the interns wanted to add Gu Chen on WeChat.
Because Gu Chen was so famous for winning cases... Now, anyone working in the court knew about Gu Chen.
There was no one who didn’t know Gu Chen...
Gu Chen is a top lawyer in the field!
As long as you can get Gu Chen to fight the case, it’s practically already won!
When Gu Chen arrived at the court and saw so many people greeting him warmly, he reciprocated with equal enthusiasm.
And these people called him Teacher Gu...
Of course, now Gu Chen was also a university teacher, so it was normal for people to call him a teacher.
And the title "teacher" is more of an honorific.
Gu Chen said, "You can add me on WeChat, but let me finish my work first. I have to handle the case of Shen Fei and Wang Xiaoru tomorrow, so I’m just double-checking the files to ensure nothing goes wrong."
The court staff were genuinely enthusiastic.
Even Judge Shen Jiarui noticed Gu Chen.
When Shen Jiarui saw that Gu Chen had arrived, he proactively extended his hand, "Hello, Teacher Gu. Why didn’t you inform us when you came to our firm? We’d like to host you."
Gu Chen chuckled, "I’m just a lawyer, why make such a fuss? Haha."
Shen Jiarui shook his head, "No, no, no, in this industry, you are a senior. We all have to learn from you."
Gu Chen laughed and said, "I’m just here to check the files on Wang Xiaoru’s case."
Shen Jiarui smiled and said, "I know this case file. The court is opening the trial tomorrow, and I’ll help you find the file."
Even as the presiding judge, Shen Jiarui was very polite to Gu Chen.
After all, Gu Chen is truly a Lawless Madman.
Although it was just a nickname given by netizens to Gu Chen, in reality, everyone knew that Gu Chen had never lost a case.
And in the last case, Gu Chen sent both the prosecutor and the presiding judge to jail with a single sentence.
Who wouldn’t be scared of him?
Who would dare to offend Gu Chen?
Are you not afraid of being sent in?
Even if they haven’t broken the law... when it comes to Gu Chen, they’re somewhat fearful nonetheless.
So every court staff member treats Gu Chen with the utmost respect, fearing they might attract his attention.
There’s another reason why everyone treats Gu Chen so well.
That is, Gu Chen’s status is indeed very high now.
Chairman of the law firm...
And the law firm is growing rapidly and expanding quickly.
Gu Chen is now a national-level lawyer... he even holds a position as a professor at Qingbei... mentoring students at Qingbei.
Many well-known universities are inviting Gu Chen to give lectures....
Even many companies want Gu Chen as the head of their legal department...
And many of these are big companies, offering very attractive packages.
For example, Ali, Tencent, Byte....
These big companies offered Gu Chen very high annual salaries... but Gu Chen turned them all down.
It’s no exaggeration to say that if Gu Chen wanted, he could earn an unknown amount in annual salary from these big companies.
Many legal departments in large companies frequently need to go to court for various cases.
Sometimes losing a case could cost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions...
So, most of the time, big companies’ legal departments are very formidable.
Thus, there is a saying about Nanshan Pizza Hut...
Are you sure you can win a lawsuit?
These big companies sought Gu Chen, offering him a very high annual salary.
As long as Gu Chen agreed, he wouldn’t be just a regular lawyer upon entering the company.
With Gu Chen’s current status, holding the highest positions in the legal department isn’t out of the question.
Positions like Chief Legal Officer or Legal Director...
If Gu Chen handles a case himself, he earns about 100,000 to 300,000 per case.
Unless it’s a case with significant economic implications, like a multimillion-dollar contract... If Gu Chen could win it, he could make a lot of money from a single case.
But no matter how much he earns, it doesn’t compare to directly joining these big companies.
These are top-tier domestic companies....
Additionally, Gu Chen could still teach at the school and run his own company... without any conflicts.
He could simply attach his name, occasionally go to the law firm to handle matters when necessary.
Simply put, fighting cases on his own is arduous, tiring, and not lucrative.
But when Gu Chen comes out to fight a case, it’s often not about the money.
Just like teaching students at school...
How much does an annual salary amount to?
Gu Chen doesn’t really care.
He only teaches at school when he has time, and teaching at school is actually relaxing for him.
After getting the files, Shen Jiarui smiled and said, "Teacher Gu, the files are all here. You can review them, and if you need anything, you can contact me anytime."
Gu Chen said, "Alright, no problem."
After reviewing the files and confirming all the details, Gu Chen left the court with Xue Qingqing.
Shen Jiarui sighed deeply and said, "Finally left."
The assistant alongside said, "Teacher Gu is coming to fight another case tomorrow... I don’t know who will be sent away this time."
Shen Jiarui said, "I don’t know, let’s see what happens tomorrow."
The assistant said, "Do you think Lawyer Gu can really send anyone away if he wants to? The case he handled a few days ago sent a bunch of people away, it’s terrifying."
Shen Jiarui said, "That’s not how it works, it still depends on the law. Teacher Gu is indeed brilliant, he’s never lost a case, and I don’t think tomorrow’s case will be any different."
Of course, as the presiding judge, Shen Jiarui wouldn’t be biased. He would only make a judgment based on the evidence provided by both parties and the court’s decision.
Even though Gu Chen is just a lawyer, he is respected by everyone within the court.
Shen Jiarui is no exception....
Shen Jiarui knows that Gu Chen is not just an ordinary lawyer; he is already a top figure in the industry, and big shots from various fields have to pay homage to him.
After all, who dares to go against Gu Chen in court?
Gu Chen has fought cases and sent two presiding judges to prison so far.... Prosecutors, opposing lawyers, media personnel, and criminal defendants... none have escaped him.
Even those watching the live broadcast from home were sent in by Gu Chen.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of such news spreading?
....
Xue Qingqing followed alongside Gu Chen.
Xue Qingqing said, "Boss, another call came in."
Gu Chen asked, "Who’s it this time?"
Xue Qingqing replied, "Tencent wants you to come to their legal department as the Legal Director, offering an annual salary of 5 million, plus stock incentives, estimating up to 15 million annually because Tencent handles a lot of litigation."
"Ali also called, offering an annual salary of 7 million, with stock incentives as well..."
"Kyoto contacted us too...."
"ByteDance also wants you to be their Legal Director...."
Xue Qingqing was a little shocked.
The boss is really amazing....
A little over a year ago, the boss was just an intern lawyer.
But now... the boss is already a top lawyer in the industry.
Whether it’s gold medal lawyers or ace lawyers, they’ve all lost cases to the boss.
Until now, the boss has never lost a case!
