Lawyer

Chapter 885 Leave
After more than two hours of trial, after the adjournment ended, the presiding judge announced the verdict.

The intermediate court held that the fact that the appellant Xu Qiguo took advantage of his position in the village committee and personally decided to borrow 200 million yuan from the training school in the original judgment was clear, but the original judgment deemed the money as "diverting public funds to others for use in his own name" inappropriately, which led to errors in the conviction of the appellant and the application of the law.

With regard to the grounds of appeal raised by the appellant Xu Qiguo, after investigation, the appellant Xu Qiguo lent public funds without discussion by the village committee, but not in his own name.

Afterwards, when the loan contract of 600 million yuan was performed with the training school, the 200 million yuan previously lent was actually included, and Xu Qiguo did not seek personal interests, so the appellant Xu Qiguo's appeal reason should be adopted.

In accordance with Article 189([-]) of the Criminal Procedure Law, the judgment is as follows:

201. Revoke the Criminal Judgment No. [-] of the County People's Court;

[-]. Declare the appellant Xu Qiguo innocent.

After the verdict was pronounced, Jiang Lan was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she grabbed her son Xu Chen's arm and said, "Xiao Chen, is your father found not guilty?"

"Yes, it's not guilty." Xu Chen bit his lower lip, excited in his heart.

Xu Qiguo was released on the spot, and the couple's tears flowed down, instantly blurring their vision. These were tears of joy.

Xu Qiguo came to Fang Yi, held his hands, and thanked him repeatedly.

At noon, the Xu family booked a private room in a restaurant in the city, first to express their gratitude to Fang Yi and Yun Qiao, and second to celebrate Xu Qiguo's acquittal.

Holding the wine glass, Xu Qiguo was filled with emotion: "Lawyer Fang, what happened this time was not all bad. Fortunately, he was acquitted in the end. Through this incident, I can also clearly see who is far and who is near."

"Oh?!" Fang Yi was taken aback, and understood instantly.

"Lawyer Fang, I'll tell you the truth. Before my old Xu was imprisoned, there were constant people coming and going in and out of the house. It was like a big car shop. Gifts from New Year's and holidays could fill the warehouse.

Last year, when old Xu was imprisoned, some close friends came to see him and say a few words of comfort.But after the verdict of the first instance came out, basically all the relatives and friends who used to come and go didn't come. This year's Spring Festival is the cleanest one in our family.

Tea is cold when people walk, but human feelings are cold and warm! Jiang Lan wiped away her tears and said.

"Mom, you can't say that. At least my aunt still cares about us. I'm afraid you won't think about it. She came here to see you during the Chinese New Year. She also asked us to go to her house to celebrate the New Year." Xu Chen interjected.

"Hey! When our family was in power, I used to throw face at your aunt a lot, but in the end... your aunt is a good person." Jiang Lan sighed.

Xu Qiguo was stunned, his eyes were a little complicated: "Xiaochen, your uncle's family's living conditions are poor, and I will think more about your aunt in the future. Lawyer Fang, I made you laugh."

After eating, Fang Yi and Yun Qiao drove back.

"Master, this year's business must not be wrong. The door is open, and the first case is actually acquitted, which is a good omen!" Yun Qiao said excitedly.

"Well, with your good words, the door will be open." Fang Yi was also very happy.

This year's first order received 20 yuan. The court accepted his opinion and finally changed the verdict of not guilty. Fang Yi felt very comfortable.

At this time, in the director's office, Wan Kefa was somewhat disheartened.He looked at the floating and sinking tea leaves in the cup on the table, a little lost in thought.

There was a knock on the door, and Director Du walked in.Wan Kefa raised his head and glanced at her, but didn't speak.

"Have you really decided?" Director Du asked after sitting down.

"Well, since the ways are different, why bother to suffer together. It's better to break up!" Wan Kefa let out a long breath, leaned lazily on the chair, and said lightly.

To be honest, he is really reluctant to part with the brand of the law firm. He, Director Du and Director Hua have put too much effort into developing from a small unknown law firm to the largest law firm in the province today.

"When is the showdown?" Director Du asked after being silent for a moment, with a serious expression on his face.

"Before the Spring Festival, after the voting results came out, Lawyer Zou talked with me, and I have clearly told him that I will quit the law firm after the Spring Festival." Wan Kefa said.

"What about the client?" Director Du understands Lawyer Zou's personality. The brand name of the law firm and client resources are the capital for him to negotiate with the capital side. If Wanke Law withdraws, it will be extremely disadvantageous to him.But if they don't withdraw, neither of them can convince the other, and they can't continue to eat in the same pot.

"You don't understand him yet, what he said was better than what he sang, and in the end it's not up to each other." Wan Kefa snorted coldly.

"Since we have already decided to leave, I won't persuade you. Have you found a place yet?" Director Du looked at him.

"Almost, Boss Wu has a property at the Hilton Hotel, about [-] square meters. I discussed it with him years ago. He will rent it to me and use the lawyer's service fee to offset the rent, but I will bear the expenses incurred during the use process.

I'm going to hold a meeting to explain to everyone, bring the team over, and open a new law firm. "Wan Kefa said.

"Well, that's good too. Remember to leave a place for my team." After speaking, Director Du got up and walked towards the door.

"Old Du." Wan Kefa looked at her back: "Thank you!"

"Do you still remember our original ideals? I don't want to be kidnapped by money and become a slave of money. Being a lawyer can't be all about money!" Director Du stopped and turned to look at him: "It's nice to be young, but unfortunately... I can never go back. But ideals can't be lost."

After finishing speaking, she walked out of the office quickly.

Wan Kefa smiled and muttered: "Time is not forgiving, but you are still so vigorous and resolute in handling things."

Shortly after Director Du left, Wankefa's assistant Feng Tianzhu walked in: "Director, the registration materials for the law firm have been submitted. It is estimated that it will be approved soon.

According to your request, the person in charge of the law firm has been changed to Director Hua.Your withdrawal procedure is being processed. "

In October last year, Wankefa had asked Feng Tianzhu to apply for the name of a new law firm, and he didn't want to take this step, but the matter of attracting capital had already been settled, and both parties had already shown their cards.

"Okay, please inform the leaders of the teams and groups that the meeting will be held at three o'clock in the afternoon." Wan Kefa nodded and said.

It was already [-]:[-] when Fang Yi and Yun Qiao returned to the law firm. After returning to the office, he put down his bag and went directly to the director's office.

At this time, the heads of various departments and groups of the Wankefa team have arrived and are chatting.

"Okay, everyone is here. I'm calling everyone here today to talk about something. I'm going to leave Wanhua United Law Firm and become a new law firm." Wan Kefa cleared his throat when Fang Yi was seated.
