Tiansheng Avenue, also commonly known as Jiangcheng Qianyi Avenue, is located in the most prosperous area of the entire Jiangcheng. The road is only about 5 kilometers long and is lined with office buildings on both sides.
These office buildings are home to nationally renowned and even world-class companies.
The Baichuan International Building is the tallest building in Jiangcheng, reaching 430 meters high. It is home to many powerful large enterprises.
Chen Chuan is not an insider in the industry, so he doesn't know the power of Jiang'an Law Firm.
But the fact that Jiang An Law Firm owns three floors in this prestigious office building is a testament to its strength.
In less than forty minutes, Chen Chuan arrived at the bottom of Baichuan International Building. Looking up from below, the entire office building was towering into the clouds, no less impressive than the Magic City.
After parking the car, Chen Chuan took the elevator directly to the 48th floor. He could only reach the 48th floor of the office. Only internal employees could go to the 49th or 50th floors.
After exiting the elevator, Chen Chuan finally saw what a pleasing decoration looked like.
But he had no time to pay attention to these things at the moment. After taking a quick look, he went directly to the front desk reception. Before the receptionist asked any questions, he got straight to the point.
"Hello, I'm looking for attorney Qin Xiwu from your firm. I have a case I'd like to entrust her with as my attorney."
"What's your name, sir? What kind of case is this?"
"My last name is Shen. I've been falsely accused of sexual harassment. I don't know what kind of case this falls under."
The receptionist said politely, "Please wait a moment. I'll contact Lawyer Qin for you."
After a while, the front desk phone was dialed.
"Lawyer Qin, we have a client who would like to entrust you with the job. It's a criminal case. Are you available to meet them now?"
"Okay, I'll bring this gentleman over."
The receptionist put down the phone and said with a smile: “Mr. Shen, Lawyer Qin is free now, please follow me.”
"Thank you for your help."
Soon, under the guidance of the receptionist, Shen Chuan arrived outside an office on the 49th floor.
Boom boom boom.
"Come in."
The receptionist pushed open the door, and Chen Chuan looked inside. Qin Xiwu was wearing a pair of glasses and writing at her desk.
"Mr. Shen, please go in."
The receptionist said hello and left immediately.
Chen Chuan strode forward and sat down in front of the desk. Qin Xiwu put down her pen and looked over.
"Um?"
Seeing that it was Chen Chuan, Qin Xiwu was a little surprised, but she was not angry. Instead, she asked with interest:
"How did you find me here?"
"I want to find a famous lawyer in the industry. After much thought, you are the only one who can help me. But when I called you, you hung up directly and rudely, so I had to find another way to come here." Chen Chuan said slowly.
"I'm sorry, I thought the previous call was a nuisance call."
Qin Xiwu twirled the pen with her fingers, and her eyes flashed with sharp light beneath her beautiful face.
"I'm a criminal lawyer. You can briefly explain the case and I'll consider whether to accept your commission."
Shen Chuan gave her a suspicious look.
"I want to find an experienced lawyer. My friend's reputation is at stake."
Qin Xiwu raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "No matter what qualifications you want to find a lawyer, you first need to describe the basic circumstances of the case."
Chen Chuan looked hesitant, and Qin Xiwu showed no expression when she saw this.
"My friend was taken away by the police this morning and is now at the police station. He's been falsely accused of harassing a woman. He says he suspects his wife and others are behind this to get him kicked out of the house during the divorce."
"If all this is confirmed, he will not only face being kicked out of his home, but he may also be imprisoned and face the consequences of imprisonment."
After saying that, Chen Chuan looked at Qin Xiwu and said sincerely, "I believe my friend wouldn't do such a despicable thing, so please."
"I don't mean to embarrass you," Qin Xiwu said calmly, "but your case is just a small one. You should know that big lawyers are very busy and generally don't take small cases, so I'm sorry that I can't recommend a big name in the industry to you."
Shen Chuan frowned.
"Opening a business is all about price. I'm willing to pay a good lawyer's fee."
"Chen Chuan, do you really think that famous lawyers are short of money?" Qin Xiwu said with a half-smile.
Shen Chuan was stunned when she asked this.
Indeed, no big name in any industry is short of money.
He was helpless and could only say: "Sister, please help me introduce you. Money is really not a problem."
Qin Xiwu looked at him.
Chen Chuan's scalp tingled when he was looked at by her.
"There's an unspoken rule in our industry: once you've chosen a lawyer to consult on a case, you can't change lawyers at will within the same firm unless they're not the right lawyer for you or they directly refuse."
"Since you've chosen to consult me, unless I refuse to accept your commission, you won't be able to find another lawyer at Jiang'an Law Firm who's willing to accept your consultation."
Qin Xiwu's expression was calm, and her tone was calm but powerful.
"So, you now have two choices: either change to another law firm, or appoint me as your attorney."
Shen Chuan stared at her, trying to determine whether what she said was true.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiwu's expression remained calm, and he could not see any clues.
After much hesitation, Chen Chuan decided to switch to another law firm. He stood up and said with a smile, "Sister, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is too important to my friend."
When Qin Xiwu saw him stand up, her eyes fluctuated slightly.
"You have the right to choose, but as Haowen's friend, I'd like to offer you a word of advice. Your friend's case isn't even a criminal one; it's a civil case at best. Even with irrefutable evidence, your friend would face administrative detention for up to 10 days and a fine of 500 yuan."
