Chapter 183 The War of Information
Wenxi was satisfied with the outcome of the Bar Association's decision.
Wenxi: "Teacher, when will the Bar Association release the announcement?"
The penalties for such violations within the industry will be announced.
"Is it rare to see you in such a hurry?"
Wenxi: "The law firm is about to submit the list of the top ten lawyers. I can't go up with a tarnished reputation. I'm afraid some people will be dissatisfied."
Director Huang chuckled: "The people in the law firm aren't stupid. You, 'Wen Moumou,' have made such a big fuss that you're already famous all over the world."
"Director Liu was still asking me about you today."
"What do you want to know about me?"
"I'm worried you'll be held back by beauty and are preparing to go home and have a baby."
When Wenxi was working on non-litigation matters, she was always the top performer for the law firm every year.
Now, in her first year specializing in litigation, she has already secured two nationally renowned high-profile cases, achieving both fame and fortune.
Once Attorney Jiang finishes this case, she, "Wen Moumou," will truly be famous throughout the country.
If Wenxi were to have a baby at this time, it would be a huge loss for the law firm.
Wen Xi: "...Director Liu really thinks far ahead."
She hadn't even thought about these things.
Director Huang: "So what do you think?"
“My husband and I aren’t in a rush,” Wenxi said. “We’ll wait until I’m at least thirty.”
Director Huang nodded in satisfaction after receiving the answer: "Then I'll pass on your message to Lao Liu."
Wenxi noticed it.
Not only Director Liu was worried that she would go to have a baby, but her teacher had the same concern.
Wenxi: "Teacher, I haven't even had my wedding yet, what's the rush?"
“That’s true,” Director Huang said. “I’m looking forward to your wedding.”
Wenxi received the news as she left Director Huang's office.
Attorney Jiang's announcement regarding the handling of the case will be released at 2 PM.
Wenxi prepared to go back and wait for news.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Lawyer Jiang walking in with a bag on his back.
This is a case of meeting on a narrow road.
Wenxi greeted him first: "Jiang Lu, you're out so soon?"
When Attorney Jiang saw Wen Xi, his expression clearly turned ugly: "Pretentious!"
Wen Xi's expression was calm, and her tone was ordinary: "Jiang Lu, when will the Bar Association's disciplinary announcement be released?"
Attorney Jiang glared fiercely at Wen Xi.
"Wenxi, don't be so smug!"
"If you secretly report me today, who knows if someone else will report you tomorrow?"
Wenxi: "I didn't take any kickbacks, so what's there to be afraid of being reported?"
"You..." Attorney Jiang gritted his teeth, "A petty person who has gotten his way!"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow: "I'm actually quite happy to see you in trouble."
Attorney Jiang was afraid that if he continued to waste time talking to Wen Xi, he would feel like hitting her.
She turned and went into her office.
Bai Wei emerged from the corner: "Wen Lu, why is she out here?"
Wenxi glanced at her: "Her act of privately accepting kickbacks is against the rules, but it's not a crime. The police can't detain her."
"She got off too easy."
No rush.
Bai Wei: "Lawyer Wen, the news has spread all over the internet. Someone has recognized me as the female lawyer in the underground parking garage!"
After she finished speaking, she winked at Wenxi.
"It became so popular so quickly, it must be related to the master's behind-the-scenes manipulation."
Wenxi: "What kind of milk tea would you like to drink?"
Bai Wei's eyes lit up: "I want to drink fruit tea today!"
Wenxi returned to her office and began reading online opinions.
Attorney Jiang did not sit idly by and wait for her fate.
She already knew about the Bar Association's decision, so she took the lead in guiding public opinion.
Attorney Jiang first deliberately spread rumors online, forging a flawed announcement from the Bar Association, and paid several major online media bloggers to say that her lawyer's license had been revoked by the Bar Association.
Once the news started circulating, she and her fans went around refuting the rumors and correcting the errors in the announcement bit by bit.
She just wanted to create a time gap and stir up trouble before the Bar Association's announcement.
Bai Wei found her live stream, watched for a while, and got so angry that she went to find Wen Xi.
"Attorney Wen, Attorney Jiang is utterly shameless!"
Do you know what she said during the live stream?
She was holding a tablet in her hand, which was showing Attorney Jiang's live stream.
Wenxi glanced at the screen on her computer and said calmly, "I know, I'm watching it now."
On the computer screen, Attorney Jiang was holding a piece of paper, crying as she refuted the rumors.
Bai Wei said angrily, "She actually said that the video of her being taken away by the police for investigation last time was because someone reported her for live-streaming sales, which damaged her image as a lawyer?!"
She also implied that you reported her because you were jealous of her making money.
"Shameless!"
"Anyone with connections in the industry knows she's under investigation by the law association for accepting kickbacks, and she actually came up with a plausible excuse for herself?"
Since the rise of social media, many lawyers have become popular through live streaming.
Many of them were reported for various reasons and chose to voluntarily have their lawyer licenses revoked so they could focus on online live streaming.
With more and more cases like this, netizens have become more understanding and even voiced their grievances on their behalf.
In this situation, voluntarily canceling one's lawyer's license will not have a significant impact on public opinion.
However, cases like Jiang's, where a lawyer's license was revoked for accepting kickbacks, are considered egregious.
Once the news leaks out, it will spark intense discussion.
Public opinion is absolutely one-sided.
At that time, Attorney Jiang will be backfired by the traffic he has accumulated over the years.
Attorney Jiang knew perfectly well what was going on, which is why he first released the false news that his lawyer's license had been revoked, and then personally led a team to refute the rumor.
Once the official announcement is released, this wave of public opinion will be much harder to generate.
When the time comes, real and fake announcements will be mixed together. Fans will carry fake announcements around to refute the rumors, while passersby will not know whether they are true or false and will be half-believing and half-doubting.
The credibility and authenticity of genuine announcements are also greatly reduced.
Attorney Jiang will be able to escape this backlash of online attention unscathed, and may even become more famous.
Complete black will lead to death, but black and red is red!
After reading it, Wenxi laughed and said, "She shouldn't have become a lawyer back then."
Bai Wei looked at Wen Xi in confusion.
Wenxi: "She should go into public relations."
Wenxi really admires Attorney Jiang's ability to generate online traffic.
Bai Wei took a big gulp of fruit tea and asked worriedly, "Wen Lu, what should we do to stop her?"
"We can't just stand by and watch her distort the truth."
If Attorney Jiang can profit from this online rumor, Bai Wei will be furious.
Wen Xi smiled enigmatically: "Do you remember the restaurant surveillance footage I asked you to find last time?"
Bai Wei immediately realized: "It's the surveillance footage of Lawyer Jiang having dinner with the other party?!"
Wen Xi nodded slightly: "Attorney Jiang's announcement hasn't been released yet, but the staff of the appraisal agency have already been punished."
“I’ll send you that person’s information and the punishment results. You can contact your PR friend and work with him to create a breaking news story about the video of Attorney Jiang having dinner with the other party.”
Bai Wei stood up excitedly: "Great!"
She picked up her tablet and was about to get to work.
They ran halfway but then turned back and took the fruit tea with them.
