Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 124 - 119: A Gaddafi in the Legal World Wants to Arm Wrestle the Six Ministries!

"Lawyer Qian, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, go ask Manager Sun for a leave..."

Zhang Cheng was a bit scared of Qian Li, so he and Liu Xun started to comfort him.

Young people are prone to being competitive. If losing a case leads to a mental breakdown and then a potential violent outburst, that wouldn't be good...

To avoid agitating him, Liu Xun quickly dispersed the onlookers.

"Move along, move along!"

"Are all your cases resolved that you have time to watch here?"

Upon hearing this, the lawyers around awkwardly withdrew their gaze.

Though Liu Xun was known for slacking off, that didn't mean he wasn't influential.

A good top-notch lawyer in a law firm is like a top salesperson in a regular company. His words are more effective than those of an ordinary leader!

Seeing this.

Liu Xun and Zhang Cheng only then turned their attention back to Qian Li.

"Don't worry, Lawyer Qian."

Zhang Cheng comforted:

"Victory or defeat is common in warfare; we lawyers can't let the outcome of one case affect our mood!"

Liu Xun nodded, "That's right."

Hearing this, Qian Li felt even more bitter rather than comforted.

But with that, he didn't cry anymore.

His expression was just extremely troubled.

Seeing him calm down, Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun exchanged a glance and couldn't resist their curiosity, so they asked:

"Lawyer Qian, what's going on with you?"

Can't blame him for being curious.

Qian Li's behavior was too out of the ordinary!

He was fine when he went out at noon—although his spirits weren't high, he could still communicate normally.

How did he come back... and is crying like this despite being a grown man!?

It couldn't really be because he lost a case, right?

Is his competitiveness that strong?

Liu Xun curiously added, "Or is it because of something else?"

Qian Li had a pained expression, his lips quivered for a moment, and finally, he said:

"The case."

It really was because of the case!

"Lost the case?"

Zhang Cheng pondered over it and thought he understood why Qian Li was upset.

This was a million-dollar retainer!

Losing the case is no different than losing a million dollars!?

Besides, winning such a case usually boosts one's reputation, and the subsequent effects could be worth far more than a million. It's like Qian Li missed out on a lottery worth tens of millions in bonuses.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just money, we can earn it back with a few commercial contract lawsuits." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

liu Xun offered comfort.

But...

"It's not about the money."

Qian Li shook his head, his face filled with sadness and despair.

"This case, halfway through..."

"Do you know I almost couldn't come back!?"

After speaking, his facial features distorted, nearly causing him to cry again.

"What do you mean by 'couldn't come back'? Did the other side attack you?" Zhang Cheng was taken aback.

"No."

Qian Li shook his head, "The hearing seats were filled with people from the Six Ministries. This case..."

"This case was unwinnable from the start!"

"This damn thing isn't even a normal criminal case!!!"

As he said this.

Qian Li's expression gradually twisted, recalling the court proceedings with a sinister look.

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun were perplexed, but before they could ask, Qian Li continued:

"This case was a damn joint investigation by the Six Ministries!"

"The person who commissioned it... could even be tied to treason!!!"

Qian Li collapsed as he spoke, rubbing his head with his hands.

"Six departments from Upper City assembled into a supervising team, specifically targeting this case for investigation!!!"

"Do you know which six?"

"Supreme Prosecution Office! Supreme Court! Supervisory Committee! Public Security! Justice Department! Legal Affairs Commission!"

"These six, I had to face a lawsuit against them!!!"

Qian Li poured out everything he experienced, releasing the accumulated emotions in his heart.

He broke down and said:

"They were sitting right in the hearing seats!!!"

"Just staring straight at me! I had to refute their investigative evidence on the spot...."

"Do you know how desperate I was?"

"Do you know!?"

After finishing, tears welled up again in his eyes.

But now Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun couldn't care whether he was crying or not, the two of them were stunned in place.

Six Ministries? A joint investigation!?

Qian Li went to take a commission against them? To refute the Six Ministries!?

Moreover, such six prestigious ones!!!

Zhang Cheng was shocked.

He was deeply shocked, looking at Qian Li, who was sobbing uncontrollably in front of him, his heart was exclaiming how daring he was.

Who was the last daring person like this?

That was someone who openly challenged the world's five major syndicates, named Gaddafi, who died miserably.

And now...

The legal world welcomed a Gaddafi, saying he would arm-wrestle with the Six Ministries!

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun were shocked, deeply stunned by the other's declaration, looking at him with fear.

They knew Qian Li was brave.

He aimed at them as competitors as soon as he entered the profession.

But they never expected him to be this brave!

"I feel like my career is over."

Qian Li was numb, lying on his chair looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside.

The two beside him moved their lips for a long time, finally speaking in a low voice:

"Well, drinking tea and spending the days like this isn't so bad either."

"Yeah."

"Do you want to play cards?"

"Alright."

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun stopped drinking tea and started playing poker with Qian Li.

"A three."

"Bomb."

Qian Li: ?

...

...

Some are worried, some rejoice.

The smile wouldn't leave Xu Liang's face soon after he took on the case; it would just move to Xu Liang's face.

"There's money, there's money!"

On Hongfu Street, at the Conscience Law Firm.

Xu Liang let out a long sigh of relief as he returned to the law firm.

The law firm had struggled for half a year... finally, there was startup funding!

Four hundred thousand, counting the commission from the first two cases, he now had 480k in startup capital!

Today is the day to recruit talent!

"Could you pay me the salary for the past few months first?"

Yang Ruoxi spoke softly beside him.

She also pointed at her own foot, "You still need to pay me for my work injury!"

Xu Liang pondered for a moment.

He suddenly sighed and looked at Yang Ruoxi with a sorrowful expression, saying:

"Our law firm is not easy to manage, the funds are tight now. As the boss's assistant, you need to consider things from the law firm's perspective..."

Yang Ruoxi rolled her eyes beautifully.

"Stingy!"

"How can this be called stingy?"

"This is just a reasonable allocation of resources. When the law firm becomes big and strong in the future, I'll repay you tenfold for what I owe you now!"

"Think of it as an investment in a financial product that returns tenfold. I'm telling you, a tenfold return in the entire Eastern Country is something only I can give you!"

Xu Liang spoke earnestly, seeing Yang Ruoxi being persuaded and no longer concerned about the salary issue.

He then looked at Yang Ruoxi's slender, delicate foot.

At that moment, her ten translucent toes were exposed, looking incomparably smooth and radiant.

Feeling his gaze.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Ruoxi felt a bit tense, her ten silkworm-shaped toes rubbing against each other.

"Why are you looking at my foot?"

Xu Liang said calmly, "Sit on the sofa over there."

"I'll apply some medicine for you."

Her wound wasn't too severe, but if left unchecked, it might become inflamed.

As a lawyer, she needs to walk long distances for extended periods, and if any commission comes in, an inflamed heel would affect her efficiency.

This would be very uneconomical for a boss!

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi let out a sigh of relief and then hopped over to the sofa.

A moment later.

Xu Liang found the law firm's emergency supplies, some gauze, as well as alcohol and iodine.

Yang Ruoxi was already sitting obediently on the sofa.

But because she had walked over barefoot, without shoes, her soles were covered in a layer of dust.

Xu Liang crouched down to take a look, and then brought over a basin of warm water.

"Let's wash it first."

She nodded and then lifted her feet up, plunging them inside.

Xu Liang's eye twitched at the sight, quickly holding onto her ankle.

"Are you stupid? Soaking an abrasion in water might cause it to inflame!"

"Just hold your foot up and clean it a bit."

"This sofa is so high, how am I supposed to lift my foot to wash it..."

Yang Ruoxi felt a bit aggrieved.

The sofa was very high, and bending over to wash her feet was nearly a folding act, how could she possibly lift her foot up?

She then looked at Xu Liang with dissatisfaction.

"It's easy to talk when you're standing!"

"I got this abrasion from chasing after you, why don't you wash it for me!"

The next second.

"Okay."

Xu Liang nodded, then rolled up his sleeves and checked the water temperature.

Yang Ruoxi: ?

Her smile froze on her face, a blush spreading on her cheeks, she quickly withdrew her legs, sitting cross-legged and hiding her feet, mumbling:

"Haha... well, uh..."

"Actually, I don't think you need to wash it for me..."

Yang Ruoxi admitted she might have been a bit brash just now.

But she hadn't expected Xu Liang to take it seriously...

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm your boss, your superior, you have to listen to me!" Xu Liang said.

Upon hearing this, she widened her eyes and incredulously asked.

"How is being a superior related to washing feet!?"

"Of course it is."

Xu Liang nodded, "Every qualified boss should wash their subordinate's feet. This promotes emotional exchange and makes the law firm more united."

After saying this, Yang Ruoxi was shocked.

"I also ran a law firm and was a boss before, why don't I know about this!?"

Xu Liang stared at Yang Ruoxi.

The two of them looked at each other, and after a while, Xu Liang said in a serious manner:

"That's why your law firm went bankrupt."

Yang Ruoxi: ?

She was speechless, staring at Xu Liang with wide eyes and an open mouth.

"Stop dawdling!"

Xu Liang extended his hand, speaking seriously: "After applying the medicine, we can call it a day and get off work!"

Yang Ruoxi looked at him for a long time, and finally, with her ears turning red, unwillingly extended her concealed leg.

At that moment.

Xu Liang seized the opportunity, reaching out to grasp her two small feet.

The instant they touched...

They were very soft, with a warm and smooth feeling, like a hand warmer radiating warmth in the palm.

Xu Liang wasn't a foot enthusiast.

But to tell the truth, the shape of her feet was quite exceptional.

Each foot was roughly the size of Xu Liang's hand, fitting perfectly in his grip.

The ten toes were slender and tidy, the pads plump and round, with a rosy hue to the soles.

The pale instep had an exceptionally smooth feel, and when raised in water for cleaning, the veins on the top became clear to the eye.

"Wow..."

The water flowed down her instep.

Neither said a word.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yang Ruoxi secretly observed Xu Liang.

She and he met at the end of June, calculating carefully...

They had known each other for over four months, nearly five months, leaving her somewhat dazed.

As for Xu Liang's impression on her over these five months...

Apart from being thick-skinned... it was his capability, extremely formidable!

His character was a bit complex, but for now, he seemed moral.

Thinking this, Yang Ruoxi's mind settled, watching Xu Liang with his head down in front of her.

Looking at his features, Yang Ruoxi's mouth involuntarily curved upwards.

'He's quite handsome...'

Indeed, his looks were very handsome, combined with his 187 height and the physique from working out, he looked every bit like a model. If he entered the entertainment industry, he might already be famous.

She looked at his eyebrows, then his Adam's apple.

Yang Ruoxi suddenly swallowed.

Until....

Xu Liang suddenly rubbed her sole.

Instantly, it felt like an electric current ran through her entire body.

"Mmm..."
