Chapter 324 “Fair” Competition

Misappropriation of funds, embezzlement of positions, and issuing false legal opinions.

The first two are criminal offenses and were committed by the general contracting company and Cheng Ruisheng's Zhongcheng Law Firm.

It was with the cooperation of the two of them that the project funds for the 88 Building were transferred to the developer Jiahua Real Estate!

The third "issuance of false legal opinions" is a document jointly issued by Xia Lun, Deheng and Zhongcheng in order to smoothen the relationship between the general contractors and compete for the reconstruction and resumption of work of the entire building in the future. It proves that the general contracting company has no legal responsibility for "misappropriation of construction project funds".

"How courageous..." Jiang Lifei thought to himself.

A project that attracts national attention like the 88 Building dares to do such a small trick. Is it because the law firm has been open for too long?

Since the [In-Depth Tips] of these four companies were thin and long, Jiang Lifei ignored the aggressive Gao Qiang and others for the time being. He quickly scanned the nearly 100 clues to determine his next move.

However, in the view of He Yifan and others, Jiang Lifei was suppressed by Gao Qiang's momentum, and now is a good time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory!

"Ahem!" He Yifan coughed twice.

"Mr. Gao and Mr. Ge, as lawyers from Sharon Law Firm, I admire the two of you for being able to communicate openly and honestly on such an occasion!"

"As a professional non-litigation lawyer, what I want to say is that although the two bosses have differences on hiring legal consultants, overall, they are all for the good of the project!"

"The suspension of the 88 Building has attracted nationwide attention, and many small owners have even purchased the building's properties. If the reorganization and resumption of work are to cause unintended consequences, I believe this is not what the two bosses want to see!"

After saying this, He Yifan and Cheng Ruisheng made eye contact, and the latter exchanged glances with Gao Qiang.

These beautiful words immediately made Ge Jiaxiong stand up. Although he had already guessed what He Yifan was going to say next, there was nothing he could do to stop him.

"So!" He Yifan continued.

"In order to provide better services to 88 Building, to enable hundreds of small owners to get their houses on schedule and with good quality, and for the stability and unity of the whole society!"

“Three of our Golden Circle firms have decided to join forces to provide legal services for the 88 Building! To be honest, we have not only prepared a due diligence plan, we have even made a framework for the next reorganization plan! All this is to make the building We can resume work as soon as possible!”

Suddenly, his tone dropped, and a look of pain appeared on his face: "But until just now, I didn't know that the legal team for this restructuring project has been determined through an internal decision..."

"Logically speaking, this is the customer's own business. As a third party, we shouldn't say anything more."

"But!" He Yifan looked at Jiang Lifei, "As far as I know, Lawyer Jiang's law firm currently only has one officially practicing lawyer and two trainee lawyers, and it ranks third from the bottom in the Songhai Law Association!"

"I'm very worried about whether they have the ability to undertake the 88 Building reorganization case!"

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Jiang, please forgive me! Because the resumption of work on the 88 Building is so important! It affects hundreds of ordinary families!"

Many observers at the scene, and even members on the judging panel, did not actually understand the current scale of Liangbei Institute.

After hearing He Yifan's "introduction", these people couldn't help but cast doubtful glances at Ge Jiaxiong and Jiang Lifei.

"Huh? Master Fei's law firm is so small? Is he the only official lawyer?"

"I also invested in a building in my hometown, but the work was stopped in the middle. Later, the legal team that went over to reorganize included 15 people! The size of Jiang Lifei's law firm... is not big, right?"

"Why did Mr. Ge appoint such a small law firm to reorganize... Is there any hidden secret?"

"Hey! The construction funds of the building have been misappropriated. It must be a combination of inside and outside! The relevant financial information can be seen by the law firm responsible for the restructuring. I guess Lao Ge was afraid that he would not be able to control the big law firm, so he found a small one. Come here and go through the motions!”

"It's very possible! Those are all internal company information. If no case is filed, even the Sheriff can't bring it out! As long as Ge Jiaxiong controls the law firm responsible for the reorganization, the evidence of misappropriation of construction funds will never be exposed!"

"Oh no! Is it so dark? Is he from the DC Universe?"

……

At this time, more than 20 people in the venue were whispering, and some people were videotaping the entire process.

He Yifan was very satisfied with the effect. He glanced at Gao Qiang proudly, and the latter nodded calmly.

It's his turn as "Party A's dad" to step in and put Jiang Lifei out of the game!
"Okay! Okay!" Gao Qiang raised his hands and pressed down.

The whole place gradually quieted down.

"Let me just make two points!" Gao Qiang said slowly, "We are all our own people on this occasion today, so I will open the skylight and speak out."

"Mr. Ge has taken a liking to Lawyer Jiang's team. There must be a reason for that!"

"Although we all know that in construction project reorganization projects like this, 99.999% of the lawyer teams are composed of 10 people!"

"But we cannot rule out that there is also the 0.001% lawyer team. Because they are extremely capable, maybe 2-3 people can handle this kind of project!"

He paused here, waiting for the reactions of everyone present.

Sure enough, everyone let out a sigh of doubt.

"Okay, let me make a suggestion!" Gao Qiang said immediately.

"As the saying goes, true gold is not afraid of fire! We here are all related parties of 88 Building. I suggest that if you have any questions now, you can ask Lawyer Jiang for advice and let Lawyer Jiang show his professionalism! Yes! No? Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Feng Xinle, who had been silent all this time, couldn't sit still.

He leaned forward in the auditorium and looked at Jiang Lifei.

The latter's eyes were staring straight, as if he didn't listen to what Gao Qiang was saying at all.

This person named Gao apparently meant "asking for advice", but in fact he was encouraging these investors, subcontracting construction companies, and major creditors to come up with questions to test Jiang Lifei!

He Yifan questioned Jiang Lifei about the law firm's hardware, and Gao Qiang was trying to test his professionalism. These two wanted to completely expel Liangbei Law Firm from this project!
"Ask you!" Feng Xinle stood up and said loudly.

"I am Lawyer Jiang's assistant. I am responsible for the preliminary preparations for this project. If you have any questions, just ask me!"

Jiang Lifei came directly to the briefing meeting as soon as he landed. Moreover, he came as a consultant for the review meeting and only had some basic understanding of the 88 Building.

Feng Xinle stood up at this time, which was actually to attract firepower for Jiang Lifei.

During this period, he at least conducted an in-depth study of the entire process of the shutdown of the 88 Building.

And...if he really couldn't answer the question, Feng Xinle would be responsible for the blame, so he wouldn't ruin Liangbeisuo's brand!
"Oh?" Gao Qiang squinted his eyes and looked at Feng Xinle, who had a firm look on his face.

"Young man, you are Lawyer Jiang's assistant, right?"

Feng Xinle nodded: "Yes!"

"Tsk!" Gao Qiang shook his head, "Mr. Ge just said that today is the stage for the person in charge of the law firm to perform."

"You are a young person and an assistant, so you should stop being in the limelight, listen more, and study more! Real-life practice is completely different from what you do in school! Hahaha!"

Feng Xinle's face turned red instantly.

What the hell!Mom... No, I am fourth in the country!

You are an old guy who mistook your platform for your ability, and you still look down on people who are really talented and have studied hard? ?

Seeing that Feng Xinle was about to explode, Ge Jiaxiong stood up quickly: "Uh, what about that? Lawyer Feng, please sit down first, don't get excited!"

"What we are doing today is mainly a briefing on the due diligence plan. Don't go too off topic!" he said to smooth things over.

"We should discuss some details later, otherwise today's report meeting will be endless, and there are more than a dozen law firms waiting behind us!" "Mr. Ge is right!" Gao Qiang said, stroking his hands.

He turned around and looked at the mobile phones that people were recording on, and said loudly: "More than a dozen law firms! They are all Golden Circle firms and large local firms!"

"How much effort everyone has made to help the 88 Building resume work! How much effort has been put into it!"

"I suggest that, in order to live up to everyone's efforts and the expectations of the public, our reconstruction and resumption project behind the 88 Building should also follow today's model and have a competitive bidding process and select the best! Everyone, okay? "

"Okay!!" Dong Fangzhi shouted loudly in a corner on the podium.

Later, a response came from the auditorium: "Okay! That's great!"

Immediately afterwards, the entire venue burst into applause.

"There should be competition for jobs! For such a big project, it would be too hasty to directly appoint the reorganization law firm!"

"That's right! It's not that I don't believe in Lawyer Jiang's ability, it's just that you want to see it!"

"Whether it's a mule or a horse! Take off your pants and see if it's a man or a woman! When the competition is fair, if Jiang Lifei can use two people to resume work, then choose him!"

"Mr. Gao, this is a good suggestion. This is a clever suggestion!"

……

Seeing that everyone's opinion changed to asking law firms to bid for "reorganizing the management team", Ge Jiaxiong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

At the beginning, he promised Jiang Lifei that he would undertake this project...

But Ge Jiaxiong didn't understand why Gao Qiang was so motivated and insisted on cooperating with the three gold circle firms to squeeze Jiang Lifei out...

If there is really a bidding, even Jiang Lifei's small law firm may not meet the registration conditions for bidding!

In this way, it was a trivial matter to offend him, Ge Jiaxiong, but he couldn't bear to offend Judge Fei and the forces behind him!
"Lawyer Jiang..." Ge Jiaxiong glanced at Jiang Lifei. His eyes had returned to normal, and he was looking around the audience with a calm expression.

"Lawyer Jiang... the situation of this reorganization project has changed a bit now, but don't worry, I will discuss it with them after the report meeting is over..."

"It's okay!" Jiang Lifei raised a hand and interrupted Ge Jiaxiong's explanation.

He had just read all the [In-Depth Tips].

This case cannot be solved with just a report!

All financial clues involving misappropriation of construction funds are in the developer's internal database, and there are no clues exposed to the outside world.

The keys to these databases must remain closed until they officially enter the reorganization process, and even shareholders cannot get their hands on them to prevent tampering.

In addition, these materials belong to the company's internal materials. Even the sheriff cannot forcibly search the developer's internal materials without any external evidence.

Therefore, only by becoming the "management team" of the 88 Building's reorganization and resumption of work will Jiang Lifei have access to these materials, and then he can submit these clues to the Sheriff for them to file a case for investigation!

This is also the fundamental reason why Gao Qiang and the three "Golden Circle Firms" must win this project!
Those financial information must not be accessed by other law firms! !

Otherwise, Gao Qiang and the others will face at least 15 years in prison!

"Lawyer Jiang..." Ge Jiaxiong asked cautiously, "Do you have any ideas?"

At the same time, He Yifan on the podium suddenly said: "Lawyer Jiang...oh no, to be precise, it should be trainee lawyer Jiang!"

"What do you think of Mr. Gao's proposal? I believe that as a famous Internet lawyer with more than 100 million fans, you should not be afraid of competing with other regular law firms, right?"

Jiang Lifei glanced at him contemptuously: "To be precise, it's 200 million fans."

"Also, I accept your challenge."

He Yifan was stunned for a moment and accepted our "challenge"?
Who the hell challenged you? ?

We are here to make you wiser, so get out of here!

"Haha!" He laughed dryly, "Intern Jiang is really good at joking. The bidding for this kind of project is very fierce! Your Liangbei Institute is forced to get involved in the competition with our Golden Circle Institute. Maybe there will be trouble. It’s an industry joke!”

Jiang Lifei ignored him, stood up and said to Ge Jiaxiong: "Mr. Ge, for the sake of fairness in future project bidding, I will not participate as a consultant in today's review meeting."

"See you again when the project bidding meeting is held!"

Ge Jiaxiong wanted to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Lifei stopped him with his eyes.

Now the public opinion at the venue has been controlled by Gao Qiang and others, and they have occupied the moral high ground of "doing good for the project", "being responsible to the small owners" and "fair competition".

It's useless to talk at this time, the only way is to slap them in the face with hard power!
Fortunately, Jiang Lifei has already pointed out many talents and skills related to "law firm management". All he needs now is people!
As long as they pass the bar exam, even if there are 10 novices, he can quickly train them into experts in non-litigation projects!
"Let's go, Xinle." Jiang Lifei waved to Feng Xinle, turned and walked towards the conference room door.

Feng Xinle trotted over and opened the door for Jiang Lifei in front.

"Oh, right!"

The moment he stepped out of the door, Jiang Lifei seemed to remember something. He turned back and looked at He Yifan and the others.

These four people had triumphant smiles on their faces.

"What's the matter, Lawyer Jiang?" He Yifan asked pleasantly.

"I almost forgot to tell you," Jiang Lifei smiled.

"It's not that I am forced into competition with you, but that you are forced into competition with me. I hope you will listen to my advice and understand this truth as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned around and left the briefing meeting.

The door to the conference room slowly closed. He Yifan, Cheng Ruisheng and the others looked at each other with ugly expressions on their faces.

hum!hum!hum!
The mobile phones of the three directors vibrated almost at the same time. They lowered their heads and checked: [Douyin notification: User "Fei Judge No. 1 Assistant" has followed you].

"Ah?" He Yifan and Cheng Ruisheng asked questions at the same time.

What is this routine?
Scaring people with metaphysics? ?
"Childish!" Liang Ping rubbed his goatee and sneered.

He Yifan's right eyelid twitched twice, and he felt uneasy in his heart.

Compared to the other two directors, he paid more attention to Jiang Lifei's previous "glorious deeds."

When I first saw that I was being noticed, I felt a little uneasy...

Psychological suggestion!It’s all psychological suggestion!He Yifan comforted himself.

"Indeed, so childish!" he whispered with a smile.

Then, he looked at the judging table: "Okay, a small episode, the unprofessional one is gone, let's talk about what a professional law firm should do now!"
