The emcee felt weak all over.
Instantly, he shivered.
He quickly gathered his full attention and looked again at the composed Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua.
"It had to be Xiao Qin. The security guards couldnāt handle them, but he sent them away in minutes," Zhang Qingyuan remarked, unable to hold back.
Feng Cuihua frowned, seemingly worried about Jiang Daping and his three companions.
Seeing this, Zhang Qingyuan softly comforted her, "Cuihua, stop worrying. These four ungrateful sons arenāt worth it; you already gave them a chance."
Feng Cuihua nodded with a bitter smile. After everything that had happened, she seemed to be gradually coming to terms with it. Probation normally didnāt involve imprisonment. This could only be attributed to Jiang Daping and his groupās repeated refusal to change; they had brought it upon themselves.
...
ćIn the banquet hall.ć
After the farce, the wedding proceeded as usual. Qin Mu returned to his seat and watched the emcee continue to host. With no disruptions from Jiang Daping and his group, the event went very smoothly this time.
"I didnāt expect... another case to come up at the wedding," Zhang Wei remarked, giving Qin Mu a profound look.
A moment ago, the lawyers in the banquet hall had been extremely excited, rushing forward one after another to hand out their business cards.
He had wanted to hand his out as well.
The case concerning Jiang Daping and his group... calculating per person, at ten thousand yuan each, it was a huge deal worth at least forty thousand yuan! No wonder the other lawyers were scrambling to secure this case.
As public order in Jin City continued to improve, the frequency of cases had gradually decreased.
But around Qin Mu... it seemed there was never a shortage of cases. He was practically an industry jinx. No wonder these lawyers, knowing Zhang Qingyuan was Qin Muās close friend, all vied to attend the wedding. Other industries considered Qin Mu a walking disaster. But only these lawyers knew that building a good relationship with Qin Mu and staying close to him was the key to a steady stream of cases.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei couldnāt help but take out his phone and open his lawyer group chats. He discovered that all the lawyer groups were exploding with messages.
"Guys, Iām at the wedding right now! My goodness, Qin Mu is terrifyingāfour people got sent away right here on the spot!"
"I saw it with my own eyes! Qin Mu truly is a lucky star for our industry. I just handed out my business card; almost snagged that forty-thousand-yuan deal!"
"Iām just wondering when weāll get another massive case involving thousands of people. My firm hasnāt had a decent meal in over half a year."
"Same here! Case leads are dwindling. At this rate, weāre all going to go out of business!"
"..."
Reading this, Zhang Wei couldnāt help but look around. He saw the lawyers at the surrounding tables, all with their heads down, seemingly busy on their phones. They were sharing what was happening live: how Jiang Daping and his group had caused a scene, how Qin Mu had them taken away for serious legal violations... all of it described in vivid detail.
Witnessing it firsthand, and with nearly six hundred people spreading the word, Qin Mu was subtly showing signs of becoming a legend in legal circles.
Those lawyers who hadnāt attended the wedding were filled with bitter regret.
"Is there still time to rush over? I had a case today that delayed me; otherwise, I would have come to make the pilgrimage, no matter what!"
"A forty-thousand-yuan deal, and a probation revocation lawsuit at that! Itās practically free money. I admit, Iām green with envy."
"Too bad Iām not there. But Iāve decidedāIām relocating my law office near the nursing home!"
"āBeing close gives the advantage,ā huh? My law office lease is almost up too; Iām also moving!"
"..."
As the conversations buzzed, a vigorous campaign to relocate law firms closer to the nursing home erupted in various group chats. According to their speculation, the closer they were to Qin Mu, the more likely they were to encounter cases and have more opportunities to secure firsthand leads.
The story of Legal Pioneer Law Firmās rise... seemed to be just like this.
"Should I... relocate as well?" Zhang Wei muttered to himself, putting down his phone and discreetly glancing at Qin Mu beside him.
The competition in this field... was becoming increasingly fierce. Although he was extraordinarily talented, a lack of case sources could very likely see him overtaken by newcomers. And opening a law office near the nursing home... appeared to be a good choice. In the future, if any cases came up in the nursing home, he could be there at a momentās notice, directly snatching up the primary leads!
ćTwo hours later.ć
In the banquet hall, the wedding concluded, and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill. The guests also gradually dispersed. Qin Mu personally saw Zhang Wei and the other lawyers out of the nursing home.
Before leaving, Zhang Wei once again extended an invitation to Wang Dachui, "Mr. Wang, you might consider it. Joining a large law firm could be very beneficial for your future career development."
Wang Dachui smiled bitterly. He said he would think about it more.
When Jiang Daping and his group caused trouble, the legal opinions he proposed had significant flaws. It was Qin Mu who had corrected him. He, an amateur... had actually caught Zhang Weiās eye. He still couldnāt quite believe it.
...
ćMeanwhile.ć
In the nursing home, in the deputy directorās office.
"Deputy Director, although there were some issues during our wedding this time, overall, it was still very successful," a few mid-level managers reported to Wan Zhongyuan on the banquet situation.
This banquet was a key project approved by the nursing homeās top management, intended to build a prestigious reputation and create a core competitive advantage. Therefore, Wan Zhongyuan attached great importance to it. These mid-level managers didnāt dare conceal anything, reporting everything that happened at the wedding in full detail.
"What? Jiang Daping and his three companions caused trouble at the wedding?!"
