Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer Chapter 139

   Chapter 139 Zhang Weicheng Public Enemy, Pre-trial of Insurance Company Case

   Zhang Wei had no idea that a gunpowder that was about to come to the criminal group was resolved by Bai Meiqi in a few words.

   And this time the insurance claim case also alerted Boss Shen and Bai Meiqi.

   He is in the office now, preparing for the upcoming pre-trial.

   Jingle Bell~

  Tie Cuilan heard the phone ringing and immediately connected.

   "Well, okay, I'll notify Lawyer Zhang right away!"

   After hanging up the phone, she turned around and said, "The time for the pre-trial has been set. Tomorrow, at 2:30 pm, the courtroom in 3C of the City Court."

   "Tomorrow, it's earlier than I expected. This is a chance for us not to prepare. And it happens to be in the middle court. It seems that the scale of this trial is not small!"

   Hearing Tie Cuilan's words, Zhang Wei secretly said that the situation seemed to be unfavorable for his side.

   "By the way, the court told me that the plaintiff changed lawyers, and then the plaintiff initiated a pretrial motion on the advice of the new lawyer, hoping to expedite the trial, and the judge agreed with the plaintiff's request."

"New lawyer, it sounds like Wang Meiyan. Blackfoot doesn't intend to give us a chance to breathe, and wants to make it difficult for us in terms of time. As for this so-called motion, it should be that Wang Meiyan asked the plaintiff Yao Liting to apply on the grounds of physical deterioration. Yes, it is impossible for a judge to refuse the request of a critically ill patient!"

   Listening to Zhang Wei's analysis, Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin also felt the pressure.

   "Speaking of Zhang Wei, what are your countermeasures?"

   "Countermeasures?"

  Since the leaders have asked this question, Zhang Wei can't hide it.

   "First of all, this is a civil lawsuit, which means that the jury is composed of 6 people, and the plaintiff Yao Liting needs the support of 5 jurors to win the case."

   "You mean..." Tie Ruyun, Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng looked at each other.

   "It's very simple, as long as I get the support of more than 2 jurors, I won't lose the case. As long as I don't lose the case, the insurance company won't have to lose money, and I won't have to pay a large amount of compensation, so I won!"

   "Master, you sound like a person without a conscience?"

   "Good apprentice, who do you think has no conscience? Your master and I are just thinking about the client. We are lawyers. Isn't our job to be responsible for the client?"

   Zhang Wei was the first to be dissatisfied when he heard the little apprentice's words.

   Good guy, I'm thinking about how to win a case for my client, and you guys hit me like this?

   Is this appropriate?

   is obviously inappropriate!

   "But are you sure you can get the support of more than 2 jurors?"

  Tie Ruyun didn't believe it anymore, he imitated Zhang Wei and raised a finger, "I'm afraid you won't even be able to win a jury, right?"

   "I tell you, when the trial begins, there will be a married couple living in poverty due to illness. The wife, Yao Liting, is a terminally ill mother with a damaged liver. She will die soon."

   "Besides, they still have two children in kindergarten. When the trial begins, those two children will sit on the hearing bench. If they still cry, who else will sympathize with you?"

   "That's right, Zhang Wei. Listening to you, the jurors you need are all hard-hearted people. They want to abandon a dying mother and instead trust and sympathize with you and the insurance company you represent?"

  Tie Ruyun and Li Yueqin spoke again and gave Zhang Wei a double blow.

   "Little apprentice, what do you think, don't even you support the master?"

   Zhang Wei was helpless and could only look at Lin Yumeng who didn't speak.

   Kemeng girl was also a little gloomy today. Seeing Zhang Wei looking at her, she quickly turned her head away.

   Well, the cute girl is not happy anymore, she seems to have a great opinion about Zhang Wei acting as an insurance company.

   "What's the matter, don't you just represent the insurance company, I've become the public enemy of the office?"

   Zhang Wei was also depressed when he looked at the expressions of his friends.

   Co-authoring just such a case, all the prestige I accumulated before has disappeared?

   Not only Lao Tie and Xiao Li, but even the well-behaved and sensible apprentices have opinions on me?

   "Okay, since you don't like me, then I'll handle this case myself, you can wait for my news in the office..."

   After Zhang Wei said this, he thought about it, he can't let these little friends take it too easy, this is lazy.

   "By the way, if the three of you don't come to see my trial, then don't be idle and contact the person who is going to sue the cigar company. After this case, we will also do his case!"

   "You really want to fight any case!"

  Tie Ruyun sighed with emotion, but nodded to Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng.

   This case was also picked by Zhang Wei. In order to boost performance this month, he can only support it.

   Li Yueqin and Lin Yumeng will contact the plaintiff in that case and get in touch with the other party.

   As for Zhang Wei, he started preparing for the trial, waiting for the pre-trial to start tomorrow.

   The next day, Tuesday.

1 pm.

  Zhang Wei set off from the law firm and went to the city court.

   At the same time, the news that Zhang Wei was acting as an insurance company and was going to file a lawsuit with a terminally ill mother spread like wildfire.

   District Inspection Headquarters.

   "Sister Lily, Zhang Wei is going to file a lawsuit again!"

   "Zhang Wei, who is his opponent, someone from our office?"

   Hearing Tan Yingying's reminder, Xiao Baihe immediately stood up.

   "No, this case is a civil lawsuit, a case of good faith insurance?"

   "Oh, Zhang Wei is going to represent the plaintiff and challenge the insurance company?"

  Xiao Baihe couldn't believe that Zhang Wei, as a criminal lawyer, could actually file a civil lawsuit.

   But although this guy is a bit scumbag, his integrity as a lawyer is still very high, and it is a good thing to file a lawsuit for a terminally ill mother.

   "No, Sister Lily, Zhang Wei is acting for sincerity insurance, and the plaintiff's mother is a lawyer with black feet!"

"What!"

   Xiao Baihe was shocked when she heard Tan Yingying's supplementary explanation.

   Zhang Wei represents the evil insurance company, and Blackfoot represents the terminally ill mother?

  Are you sure you got the script right?

  Are you sure you are not wrong about the identities of both parties?

   Why is there something wrong with this plot?

  Isn't the Black Foot Law Firm for money, they can do all kinds of frivolous things?

   Zhang Wei is not for justice. Even our local prosecutor's headquarters dares to provoke them. When did they change?

   "No, I have to digest this news..."

  Xiao Baihe asked Tan Yingying to go back to work, then sat down with her forehead, slowly turned on the computer, and began to search for the sincerity insurance case.

   Soon, the news on the webpage was swiped, and many media were reporting the lawsuit.

   As for news headlines, they are very eye-catching.

   "Who shattered the last hope of the terminally ill mother, the true face of the Evil Insurance Company"

   "Sincerity insurance, the last straw that crushes cancer mothers! 》

  《Sincere Insurance + Jincheng Law Firm, who can win the confrontation between big capital and ordinary citizens? 》

  《Please support this mother, let us speak for the hope of the people! 》

   Well, after reading a few reports, Xiao Baihe immediately closed the page.

   She admitted that after reading the report, she no longer intends to comment on Zhang Wei.

  Because she was afraid that she could not control herself, she wanted to strangle the other party to death.

   "This guy, he really doesn't even want his conscience, he's going to sue the insurance company, eat shit, garbage, scum!"

  Xiao Lily swears, this is the first time she has cursed like this, she really can't control it...

   Blacksmith Technology, R&D Department.

   "Xiao Zhang has another lawsuit recently, let me take a look..."

   The computer in front of Zhao Qingyan has a search function for specific terms. When the news that he is concerned about appears, it will be automatically displayed.

   And just now, one of the entries triggered the reminder, and it triggered multiple times.

   shows that the popularity of this matter is not low, so that a lot of news has been retrieved.

   "Sincerity Insurance, Xiao Zhang is acting for... an insurance company!"

   "His opponent is someone from the Blackfoot Law Firm, so how could Blackfoot represent the weaker party?"

   "Good guy, is this script reversed?"

   Anyone who knows Zhang Wei and Blackfoot Law Firm will have such doubts when they see this news.

   Zhao Qingyan and Xiao Baihe's reaction can only be said to be normal.

   very normal…

   But no matter what the outside world speculated, Zhang Wei still came to the city court.

   And at the gate of the court, a lot of media have already come.

   "It's that Zhang Wei!"

  Some media people saw Zhang Wei with sharp eyes.

   But they all had a tacit understanding, and they didn't approach Zhang Wei to grab the first-hand news.

   "Hey, I know you guys in the media. I won the Wang Yuqing case before, and I scolded your media, so you all joined forces to block me, right?"

   "This time, I'm on the strong side, and I'm fighting for the insurance company. Do you think I'm going to lose? Let me guess, how many stories did each of you write, ten or twenty?"

   Zhang Wei couldn't help joking, but it only caused a series of blank stares.

   Media people looked at Zhang Wei with joking, mocking, but also deep fear.

   It was mainly the Wang Yuqing case last year, when Zhang Wei hit them in the face, it hurt too much.

   So there is a default rule among the media, that is, don't provoke Zhang Wei too much, otherwise it will be easy to be slapped in the face again.

   But this time, they were tacit.

   You will undoubtedly lose the case of Zhang Wei. When you lose the case, we can step on it as we want.

   When you lose, we will start to settle accounts after the fall!

   As for now, they would rather not have this first-hand news and keep a little distance from Zhang Wei.

   After all, in the eyes of the media, Zhang Wei is a difficult person who cannot be approached.

   "The black-footed lawyer Wang is here!"

   Suddenly, a media person shouted, and everyone rushed to the other side.

   This time, Blackfoot is representing the weak side. Compared with the strong side, the speech of the weak side can gain more attention, so the media people rushed to the other side and scrambled.

   "A group of grass on the wall!"

   Zhang Wei sneered and walked slowly into the gate of the city court.

   Outside the court, Wang Meiyan gave a generous interview to the media this time.

   "Lawyer Wang, as a lawyer for Black Foot, why do you want to represent the plaintiff?"

   "This media friend, what's wrong with me being a lawyer for Black Foot? We, Black Foot, have always attached importance to our reputation. Isn't it our duty as a lawyer to help the disadvantaged?"

   After hearing Wang Meiyan's words, many media people couldn't help but complain.

   Aren't you black feet famous for collecting money and not looking at people?

   Don't you accept any lawsuit no matter what the client does, as long as he makes money?

   You say this without feeling ashamed?

  Wang Meiyan is naturally not ashamed. As a lawyer in Heizu, the most important thing is to have a thick skin.

   "Lawyer Wang, I heard that you are the lawyer whom the plaintiff recently replaced. May I ask why the lawyer whom the plaintiff looked for gave up participating in this lawsuit?"

"My last lawyer, he knew that he was incompetent and thought that he could not help his client get the best interests in this lawsuit, so he recommended our Blackfoot Law Firm, and let me help my client. Ms. Yao Liting!"

  Wang Meiyan said it very well, but she was also pressing in her heart, "It's not that we are black feet. After a 'friendly exchange', the lawyer was cowardly and had to give up his qualifications to litigate."

   "Lawyer Wang, this time your opponent is Jincheng Law Firm, are you confident?"

   "Of course, what about Jincheng Law Firm, today our Black Foot Law Firm represents justice, conscience, and hope..."

   Looking at Wang Meiyan, who was being interviewed at the gate, and listening to the other party's words that went against his heart, Zhang Wei had to admire that the lawyer with black feet was really thick-skinned.

   This scene is a set of words.

   "Forget it, let's go to the preparation room first, and wait for Cheng Liang to come over!"

   Zhang Wei walked to the 3rd floor and went to the preparation room of Court No. C to wait.

   But in the preparation room, he saw an unexpected person.

   "Lawyer Bai, why are you here?"

   The person waiting outside was actually Bai Meiqi, the ace of the Jincheng Litigation Department.

   "You know the lawsuit from Sincerity Insurance, who did they want to call for help in the first place?"

   "Since lawyer Bai is here, the answer is obvious, right?"

   "You're right, but I rejected the case, and then threw it to the business team, and they also rejected it. What I didn't expect was that this case was finally picked up by you."

   "Lawyer Bai came to court, did he come to cheer me on?"

   "You're thinking too much, I just want to see, how do you deal with a case that even I don't think it's possible to win?"

  Bai Meiqi waved to Zhang Wei, then walked to the court, "I'm in the hearing box, just let me see how you, a criminal lawyer, can win a civil lawsuit, I hope you can open my eyes!"

   "Are the trumps coming to watch the battle?"

   Zhang Wei touched his nose, it was a little itchy.

   To be honest, although he was surprised that Bai Meiqi would be there, he was not afraid of losing this time.

  Although in everyone's eyes, this case is impossible to fight, but in Zhang Wei's view, he still has a chance of winning.

   "Old Tie they don't know if they will come or not, but looking at their performance yesterday, they probably won't meet my client when they come..."

   Zhang Wei muttered and walked into the preparation room on his own.

   After a while, the customer came.

   Cheng Liang, the representative of the insurance company, and Ms. Yang, the company's legal counsel.

   As for the financial Xiaofang, she is only responsible for signing the contract on Monday, and she has nothing to do with her after the contract is signed.

   The representative of the defendant in court this time is Cheng Liang, Sister Yang will also appear in court as a lawyer, and Zhang Wei is the attorney who is in charge of litigation.

   2:20pm.

  The time for the pre-trial was approaching, and Zhang Wei, Cheng Liang, and Sister Yang came to the court and sat in the dock.

   And in the plaintiff's box, Wang Meiyan showed Zhang Wei's signature snake and scorpion smile.

   Beside him, the author is a woman with a sallow complexion and looks extremely weak.

   This is obviously the plaintiff Yao Liting.

   "Quick, say hi to mom!"

   In the first row of the hearing box, a man with two children waved to the plaintiff's box.

  The man is her husband Ding Chuntian, and the two children are naturally her sons.

  Yao Liting seemed to feel something, turned around, and smiled at the two children and the man.

   However, in the eyes of everyone in the courtroom, this smile is full of grief, especially when it comes to her physical condition, everyone who sees her will probably overflow with sympathy.

   "Lawyer Zhang, why do I feel something is not right?" Cheng Liang leaned over to Zhang Wei and whispered.

   "You're not talking nonsense. Just like the plaintiff, I can't bear it anymore. It's the same for anyone else. Look at the jury box..."

   Zhang Wei said, and pointed to the jury bench.

   Seeing the candidate jury, all eyes were on Yao Liting at the moment.

   Several jurors also looked at Cheng Liang, but most of their eyes were filled with ill will and even tangible hostility.

   "Lawyer Zhang, I'll leave everything to you later!"

   Feeling the hostility of the jury, Cheng Liang felt a little uncomfortable.

  Although he has participated in many lawsuits before, after all, insurance companies are easy to be sued by customers, but there has never been a time when the pressure is as great as it is today.

   And this lawsuit is likely to be related to the life and death of good faith insurance.

   Because he also heard the news, Blackfoot Law Firm is contacting many of Sincerity Insurance's former clients and wants to initiate a class action lawsuit.

   They even bribed the media and published recruitment orders to find clients who had been denied claims by good faith insurance.

  Once the case is lost with good faith insurance, then the consequence may be a large sum of damages, and then the blackfoot class action will come.

   At that time, sincerity insurance will go bankrupt because of the sky-high compensation!

   So Cheng Liang is under a lot of pressure at the moment.

   This is about his job and the life and death of the company!

   "Stand up, Judge Ni is invited to enter!"

   With the announcement of the court guard, a middle-aged woman in a black robe with a sullen face stepped onto the court.

   "It's actually Judge Ni Qiuping!"

   Cheng Liang's eyes widened when he saw the person coming, and his back began to sweat.

   "Is this judge famous?"

   Looking at the female judge with a serious face in the courtroom, who seemed to have reached menopause, Zhang Wei asked in a low voice.

   Mainly because he had been in the criminal court before and was not familiar with the judges of the civil court.

   "This Judge Ni, what should I say, she has some…"

  Cheng Liang didn't know how to describe it, but his ugly expression was telling Zhang Wei that this judge was a little tricky.

   Similarly, Wang Meiyan also saw the judge.

   "It's actually Judge Ni Qiuping. It seems that this time I have to keep a low profile and not give her a chance to get mad at me!"

   Although Wang Meiyan was full of confidence in this trial, she also felt a little apprehensive after seeing the judge.

   Obviously, this Judge Ni Qiuping has a prominent reputation in the civil court.
