Lawyer

Chapter 1033 This Is Human Nature

"Lawyer Fang, aren't you afraid that Mr. Liang will turn around and refuse to admit his guilt?" On the way back, Yu Wendong hesitated for a moment, and finally said what was in his heart.

"Yuwen, the most invisible thing in this world is the human heart. I believe Mr. Liang, not because of what he said, but because I know he will do what he says." Fang Yi stopped and turned around. body, said earnestly.

"How did you figure it out?" Yu Wendong blinked and looked at Fang Yi with a confused expression.

"I didn't see it." Fang Yi's answer made Yu Wendong's brain go blank for a moment, and he almost turned to stone.

"Don't look at me like that. I say this because the cost of breaking his promise is too high. He won't do it for a mere few hundred thousand.

If an ordinary person told me this, I wouldn't believe it at all.There are no other reasons. One is strength, and the other is that the cost of breach of contract is too low, almost zero. "Fang Yi explained.

"Why?" Yuwendong disagreed with Fang Yi's words.

“Never overestimate human nature. Ordinary people are not without integrity, but many people will lose integrity in the face of interests, and the probability of breach of contract will increase many times because their breach of contract costs are too low.

A few years ago, a lawyer saw that migrant workers had to work hard for a year without getting their wages back, so he came up with the idea of ​​filing a lawsuit on behalf of migrant workers to ask for their wages. Of course, he was also developing business for himself. After all, no one paid lawyers, and everything had to be done. On their own.

As you know, migrant workers don’t have much money and can’t pay upfront, so they adopt a post-payment model. The legal fees are fixed amounts negotiated. They are not risk agencies. Otherwise, they don’t have to pay. Income and the interests of migrant workers are linked together. Guess what the result is? "Fang Yi stopped and looked at him.

"How is it?" Yu Wendong hesitated and asked.

"Only a small number of migrant workers paid the fee after getting the money. Most of them disappeared after taking the money, without even a thank you, let alone the lawyer's fees. The lawyer held a handful of IOUs, worth millions. Yuan. This is human nature.

The fact is that every experience of a lawyer is bought at the price of money, freedom, and even blood. Don't try to test human nature, because human nature cannot be tested.Otherwise, you must be the one who gets hurt in the end. "Fang Yi finished speaking with a serious face, turned and went back to the office.

Yu Wendong stood there, thinking about Fang Yi's words.

……

On this day, Yuwen Dongfeng ran into Fang Yi's office in a hurry.

"Lawyer Fang, have you read the news on the Internet?" Yu Wendong's breathing was a little rapid.

"What's the news?" Fang Yi was startled when he saw something wrong on his face.

"The case we handled of Liang Yuncong's intentional homicide and rape was posted online. Now netizens are criticizing him, and many comments are directed at you." Yu Wendong said.

After hearing this, Fang Yi hurriedly opened the webpage and entered the three words "Liang Yuncong". A lot of news immediately appeared. He clicked on any one and became more and more frightened.Netizens scolded him for everything, and some even said that Fang Yi had a bad conscience, specialized in defending evil people, and was a shady lawyer.

Yu Wendong stood opposite Fang Yi. Seeing that he was silent, he called him twice softly: "Lawyer Fang, Lawyer Fang..."

"Well, I'm fine. Netizens don't know the details. Just follow the wind and rain. Don't worry about them." Fang Yi looked at Yu Wendong and said with a smile.

"Should we..." Yuwendong felt that the team should respond to this matter to prevent it from getting out of hand.

"No, there's no need to do anything. The results will prove everything. I accept both good and bad. We can't let the media lead us by the nose. Go ahead and do your work." Fang Yi understood what he meant.

When Yu Wendong walked out of the office, Yun Qiao and Sui Xia came over. Yun Qiao asked with concern: "How is it?"

"Don't worry about what Boss Fang says." Yu Wendong replied with helplessness on his face.

"Well, Boss Fang is a smart man. That's what netizens are like. The more you pay attention to them, the more enthusiastic they will be. If you don't pay attention to them, after a while, if a celebrity cheats on us, no one will pay attention to us immediately. Things come and go quickly. Hurry." After a moment, Sui Xia said from the side.In the morning, Sui Xia opened the web page and accidentally saw the report on the Liang Yuncong case. She knew that this case was jointly handled by Fang Yi and Yu Wendong, so she found Yu Wendong. Yun Qiao happened to be there, and the three of them Get together and discuss whether to fight back.

However, judging from Fang Yi's reaction, people did not take the accusations from netizens seriously at all.Sui and Xia had no choice but to give up.

When he was about to get off work, Fang Yi was called to Wan Kefa's office.

"Xiao Fang, have you read the content on the Internet?" Wan Kefa asked while making tea.

"Look, it's just a bunch of netizens who don't know the truth. Don't worry about them." Fang Yi said with an indifferent expression.

"I'm afraid things are not that simple. There must be many people who know about Liang Yuncong's case signing. We can't say who posted the news online, but most of the comments online are about you, not about the defendant Liang Yuncong. How much does that mean? It's a bit abnormal. The target is too obvious!" Wan Kefa poured Fang Yi a cup of tea and said with a serious face.

"You mean this is for me?" Fang Yi immediately understood.

"Well, maybe it's not just for you, but also for me, and for Sidley Austin Law Firm. Our law firm has been too dazzling recently, and many colleagues are jealous of our rapid development.

Our progress at Sidley has pushed many so-called big law firms out of the rankings, so there are many people who hate us. "Wan Kefa said.

"What do you mean?" Fang Yi asked seriously.

"There are two options. One is to discuss with the client and reject the entrustment to preserve your reputation and the reputation of the law firm," Wan Kefa said.

"What about the second one?" Fang Yi did not express his position.

"Second, if you are sure about the case and can fight back, then stick to it. But if it doesn't succeed... the price may be higher." Wan Kefa said.

"I won't give up." Fang Yi sat up straight.

"Are you sure?" Wan Kefa looked at him.

"I want to try it!" Fang Yi replied.

"If this case is successful, our law firm and your reputation will take another step forward. If not, I will resign and take all the responsibilities. You should not speak to the outside world.

I will give up the position of director to Du Sanniang and let her take over temporarily. After this matter is over, I will hand it over to you. "Wan Kefa said.

"Lao Wan, I did it and it has nothing to do with you..." Fang Yi argued.He didn't want the fat old man in front of him to take the blame for him.

"Don't argue with me. I'm already this old. I'm sober and confused every day. No one will say anything to me. Even if they say it, so what. Anyway, I don't want to do it for a long time. I just go home to retire. You are different. , the higher the position, the fewer opportunities for trial and error.

Besides, I have confidence in you, and if you want to try it, I support you. "Wan Kefa said with a smile.

Fang Yi looked at the fat old man in front of him and didn't know what to say for a while.The softest part of Fang Yi's heart was touched, and the blood in his body was boiling.

"It's time to get off work, why don't you leave! Are you waiting for me to treat you to dinner?!" Wan Kefa said with a smile.
