Chapter 12 Conflict of Interest

Zhao Shucheng looked back at Gu Jie and said with a smile: "It's very simple, this is the exchange of experience between the designers of two design companies."
"Then why did you prove that it is not a commercial secret?" Gu Jie couldn't keep up with Zhao Shucheng's ideas, so she asked.
"Mr. Bai, the complexity of intellectual property cases lies in whether they constitute infringement. I have also learned that many of your design drawings are not designed from beginning to end. Instead, they are often purchased from some design suppliers. Follow you to create secondary creation on the drawings. I am right?"
Bai Jinghong nodded and said, "That's right!"
"That's very simple. If you can prove that these design drawings were purchased from suppliers and there is no evidence that these design drawings were not designed for a company alone, they cannot be considered as trade secrets that are not well-known to the public, and it will not be enough to leak secrets, but just exchange experiences."
When Bai Jinghong heard this, she looked at Maggie with her, showing a satisfied expression.
Gu Jie also noticed this and said, "Is the person I recommend to you reliable?"
Bai Jinghong smiled and said, "It's so reliable. Let's sign a contract now. We are the ones who sit at home, and disaster comes from heaven."
Lina was working, and suddenly received a call, which was said to be Zhao Shucheng who ordered takeout.
She was very confused about this because Zhao Shucheng came for dinner in the morning and had been busy with work before, so she had no time to order takeout. What's more, if Zhao Shucheng really ordered takeout, he would ask himself to do these things and never do it himself.
"Did you make a mistake? He didn't order takeout?"
But the other end of the phone said it was the takeaway ordered by Zhao Shucheng, and asked Li Na to get it.
Jose also happily came here to go out. When he heard Lina talk about the takeaway, he said, "Maybe he ordered it himself."
When Lina walked outside, Jose said happily: "I'm going to meet the client, they're looking for the best legal counsel, and finally found me."
Lina couldn't help but look at Jose and said, "Did you see it online?"
She knew very well that Jose had always been narcissistic and felt that she was the best lawyer. Maybe she was just praising herself online. However, she always thought that Zhao Shucheng was the best. Now that the two of them are together, they are even more in the eyes of their lovers. There is no better lawyer than Zhao Shucheng.
"No, someone recommended them ten lawyers, and after repeated consideration, they finally thought I was the best candidate."
"That must be recommended by your acquaintance?"
Jose smiled and said, "My junior sister Julie, she recommended me to her boss."
Lina smiled and said, "When she recommended her to her boss, she also recommended nine other waste materials."
"Can you have fun together?"
Jose was a little unhappy, as if he was saying that if he was not comparing with waste, they would not have chosen himself.
Lina saw the delivery guy Xiaoma and asked, "Is this my takeaway?"
Xiaoma said, "I'm not here to deliver takeaway."
Lina suddenly became a little confused, looked back at the front desk and asked, "Didn't you say there is my takeaway outside?"
The front desk said: "Aren't you looking for lawyer Luo Bin?"
Pony said: "Secretary Robin, I am Allen, thank you for seeking justice for my father."
Lina looked at the pony and asked, "Don't you know lawyer Robin?"
Xiaoma was also stunned. Seeing Lina glance at Jose who was about to go out to meet the customer, she thought Jose was Luo Bin, so she walked towards Jose with the takeaway.
"thank you!"
Jose thought Zhao Shucheng was behind him, so he turned around and looked at him, and there was no one.
"Thank you, thank you for your lawyer's letter to my father. We left the arbitration and confirmed that it was an industrial injury. Thank you so much, you are such a good person."
Jose knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he quickly said, "No, I'm not..."
"You are a good person. I have delivered takeaway to many people, but I was late for you that day. Not only did you not cancel the order for me, you also did not complain about me. This was made by my mother, and it was our little intention."
When Jose saw the lunch box handed over by Xiaoma, he said, "Thank you, mom, but I am not Luo Bin! We are colleagues, we are good colleagues. We have set up a public welfare mediation room, and I am the person in charge. Don't worry, I will write Luo Bin's help to you into my work report. In this way, in the future, if you have any problems, you can come to me and call me lawyer Jose."
After hearing this, Xiaoma suddenly said awkwardly: "That, this..."
Jose looked at the lunch box in his hand and said, "This, Lina, this is the secretary of Lawyer Luo Bin, please transfer it to him."
Xiao Ma said, "Then please hand it over to lawyer Robin, just a little bit of your heart."
"Don't worry!"
Lina took the lunch box and turned around and walked towards Zhao Shucheng's office.
At this moment, Zhao Shucheng had finished signing with Bai Jinghong and was talking about his next case with Dai Xi.
This case is a labor dispute case. Ma Xiaoju was sued by the company, saying that he had posted his payroll online, which violated the company's confidentiality regulations, so he had to fire Ma Xiaoju.
Dai Xi had been prepared for this and had his own opinions, so he had already drafted the agent before Zhao Shucheng gave instructions.
In fact, Zhao Shucheng was very surprised that Ma Xiaoju's case could reach his own side, because according to Zhao Shucheng's charging standards, if Ma Xiaoju asks him to be an attorney, the compensation he needs to be given to the company is not enough to pay the attorney's fees.
"Dai Xi, how did this case come to you? Did you introduce it again?"
Dai Xi said: "Lawyer Luo, this is not the case I took, but the one who transferred from the public welfare mediation room, and I took over when I was on duty, so naturally you will be the agent."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Okay then! Just act as we said just now."
As he was talking, he saw Lina walking in with a lunch box in her hand and swaying in front of Zhao Shucheng.
"What's this?"
Lina smiled and said, "This is your reward for doing charity."
Dai Xi glanced at it and said, "This is given to Allen, his mother's craftsmanship."
Lina asked strangely: "How do you know?"
“Because I’ve eaten it!”
Zhao Shucheng then got up, walked to the sofa, and prepared to taste the gifts he sent. Although he didn't help with this Allen case, he just asked him to sign and stamp the lawyer's letter when Dai Xi first joined the company. However, this was a little bit of effort, so the reward was well deserved.
The three of them began to taste the braised pig's trotters given by Allen, wearing disposable gloves, and then chewed them.
While eating, Zhao Shucheng began to decompose the pig's trotters with his hands, and occasionally handed them to Lina with a piece.
Lina looked at Dai Xi embarrassedly, and saw that the other party didn't notice anything, so she happily ate it.
Jose has also come back. Seeing the three of them eating happily, he couldn't help but feel envious and jealous. So after returning to the office, he directly called his assistant and asked him to order takeout for himself, which must be braised pig's trotters.
Jose went out to talk about cooperation with others and successfully won the case of Zhao Yao introduced by Julie.
But he didn't know that Zhao Yao's case was actually Bai Jinghong's case. One was the plaintiff and the other was the defendant. Bai Jinghong had signed a contract with Zhao Shucheng before.
The plaintiff and the defendant cannot hire a lawyer from the same law firm, so if the contract is signed at the same time, the law firm must give up one of them and choose another to cooperate.
"Luo Bin, actually, Seal told me that some of your things are not directed at me, and you are a bit arrogant."
Zhao Shucheng didn't understand what happened to Jose and said, "I always thought I was quite approachable?"
"Do you know who I met when I went to meet the client just now? Our junior sister, Julie!"
"She introduced you to a case, is she pregnant?"
Jose looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and asked, "How did you know?"
"How fresh. If she hadn't been pregnant, why didn't she do it herself, but would introduce you instead?"
Jose said: "She has done halfway and has sued him. I'm still wondering why she came to me and didn't look for you? Do you have any holidays?"
Zhao Shucheng thought of something and asked: "Who is the target of their prosecution?"
"Bai Jinghong!"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Jose, do you know that I have just signed a contract with Bai Jinghong to officially represent their commercial leak case. Yaobin and Bai Jinghong are the relationship between the plaintiff and the defendant, and there is a conflict of interest, so you can't accept it."
"Why can't I answer, why can't it be you?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Director Feng first. I will notify him after signing the contract, first come first served. Moreover, I don't think Director Feng will choose Yaobin and give up Bai Jinghong."
Jose didn't believe it. He felt that he could take down Yaobin and gain a big client for the law firm. The seal would not stand on Zhao Shucheng's side no matter how Seal said it.
Unfortunately, he really guessed wrongly. Feng Yin chose Bai Jinghong between Yaobin and Bai Jinghong without thinking.
This undoubtedly made Jose feel that the sealer was biased towards Zhao Shucheng, so he pulled off his tie angrily: "Hmph!"
Seal said, "See you, he must think I'm favoring you!"
"Of course it's Bai Jinghong. If we are agents, we have a greater chance of winning, and our money risk agents will benefit more. Putting aside the winning or losing, we have to share with Julie, after all, she has done part of it before."
"Jose doesn't think so."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "If he insisted on acting in Yaobin, he could only change to another law firm."
Seal said, "This is what I least want to see."
"What do you think of?"
Seal said, "Pick a customer from you and give him!"
Zhao Shucheng looked at the seal and felt that the seal was really a scheming. He clearly made the decision himself, but he asked Zhao Shucheng to make compensation.
"Mr. Feng, I think this is not appropriate, because I am not wrong, why do you ask me to make compensation instead? If you really think that Jose cannot leave, you can choose Yaobin. It doesn't matter whether Bai Jinghong signs or not."
