Chapter 53: Recruitment! Junior Sister?!
The law firm's financial situation was somewhat tight, but at present it was sufficient.
Su Bai did not accept Li Xuezhen's pocket money support.
This caused Li Xuezhen's small face to fall.
Originally she had been thinking of using her own money to pay her own salary, which would both count as investment and allow her to recover her own money.
Her little mind had planned things very well.
However, she had not expected the plan to fail.
Regarding the issue of expanding the scale and recruiting lawyers, Su Bai directly posted recruitment information for lawyers on a certain recruitment website and at the same time assigned Li Xuezhen responsibility for recruitment matters.
He also offered a motivational promise.
"Once we recruit people, you will be the second in command of our law firm, and at that time you will have people under your supervision."
Li Xuezhen accepted this promise enthusiastically.
Thinking about how she would in the future become the second in command of the law firm and become a partner, she immediately became motivated and her small face became serious.
"Lawyer Su, I will work hard."
Su Bai smiled slightly. "Work hard."
In addition, Su Bai himself was also handling the law firm's consultation matters and resolving certain civil mediation representation cases.
Generally speaking, the majority of civil dispute cases were resolved through settlement, mediation, and reaching consensus, unless there was evidence capable of decisively proving the other party's liability.
It must be said that since relocating the law firm's premises and after the Qi Feng case had been promoted through the internet and established their reputation, cases were no longer lacking, and Su Bai alone was responsible for several civil mediation cases.
However, recruitment matters had still not progressed.
Those who came to the law firm for interviews and recruitment inquiries were either intern lawyers or lawyers whose level was little different from intern lawyers, and although they could independently handle cases, they would lose cases with certainty.
Yet their salary and treatment demands were extremely high.
If such people were recruited, would that not damage the law firm's reputation and credibility?
With no alternative, Su Bai sought assistance from Luo Daxiang.
Previously Luo Daxiang had promised to introduce him to professional connections in Nandu.
Now it was precisely the time to rely on such professional connections to strengthen his law firm.
Luo Daxiang honored his promise and introduced his junior fellow disciple Xiao Haibo to Su Bai.
Xiao Haibo had already heard about Su Bai's achievements in Beidu.
He had promoted judicial progress regarding the determination of legitimate self defense.
Moreover, it had originally been Xiao Haibo who recommended Su Bai and Baijun Law Firm to Luo Daxiang.
The Nandu Wang Li Bank case.
The Zhang Tongwei marriage case, in which the opposing lawyer was sent into custody.
The Qi Feng death penalty case that was changed to a determination of legitimate self defense.
Any one of these cases would be extremely remarkable if presented independently.
After receiving Luo Daxiang's telephone call, Xiao Haibo was also willing to become acquainted with such a remarkable lawyer.
Haifang Law Firm.
Haifang Law Firm was a top tier law firm in Nandu and was very strong in civil litigation.
At Haifang Law Firm, Xiao Haibo served as a senior partner.
Inside the senior partner's office.
Xiao Haibo sat on the sofa, Su Bai sat opposite him, and Li Xuezhen sat to Su Bai's left.
"Lawyer Su, regarding your matters I have already heard everything from my senior fellow disciple Luo Daxiang."
"However, at present none of the lawyers in our law firm have any intention of transferring employment."
"As for those lawyers who submitted resumes to our law firm and whom we did not accept, I also asked whether they had any intention of going to Baijun Law Firm."
"Only at present there is no one willing to go to Lawyer Su's Baijun Law Firm."
"However, I have a junior disciple, one could say a junior disciple, whose legal ability is quite good, especially in the two areas of civil law and financial law, and who has only recently become capable of independently handling cases, and he should be able to meet Lawyer Su's requirements."
"His name is Xu Xiang. I wonder whether Lawyer Su would be willing to accept him."
Su Bai raised his head slightly. "If he is good in civil law and financial law, he should be able to find a good law firm, should he not?"
Xiao Haibo smiled and said, "My junior disciple, although he studied civil law and financial law quite well, still wishes to engage in criminal practice. Regarding the three criminal cases that Lawyer Su accepted as entrusted counsel, especially the Qi Feng case, which can be regarded as a classic case, I believe he would be very willing to go to Baijun Law Firm."
"If Lawyer Su is interested, I can inquire about his views."
"As long as someone is willing to come to our law firm, we naturally welcome them, especially lawyers with such ability, whom we strongly welcome."
Su Bai smiled as he spoke.
Civil law and financial law were highly desirable fields.
If such a lawyer came to their law firm, it could be said that their law firm would greatly benefit.
Especially in matters related to financial law, the lawyer's fees for a single case could equal several years of fees for ordinary lawyers.
Sometimes the difference between lawyers and lawyers was extremely great.
Xiao Haibo smiled and nodded. "Since that is the case, I will later ask my junior disciple about his views. By the way, Lawyer Su currently does not have any cases in hand, does he?"
"There are cases, but they are all small cases involving settlement representation."
"In that case, I happen to have a civil case here. I wonder whether Lawyer Su is interested in civil litigation."
"It concerns a labor law case."

Integrity Building.
Baijun Law Firm.
After returning from Haifang Law Firm, Su Bai brewed a tea that cost 1,999 yuan for 1,500 grams (≈3.3 lb)
Based on the current operation of the law firm, if Xu Xiang could come to work at their law firm, then the law firm would be considered to have entered a proper development track and would no longer be operating on a small scale.
Speaking of which, the labor law case introduced by Xiao Haibo was also quite interesting.
However, at present it still required confirmation from the client as to whether their law firm would be entrusted with the case.
Not long after Su Bai returned from Haifang Law Firm to Baijun Law Firm, he received a telephone call from Xiao Haibo.
"Lawyer Su, my junior disciple, upon hearing about the cases in which Lawyer Su participated, immediately decided to come to your law firm and plans to come for an interview this afternoon. I wonder whether Lawyer Su is available."
"I am available, of course I am available. I will be at the law firm waiting at any time."
After hanging up the telephone, Su Bai asked Li Xuezhen to make preparations.
"Our law firm will soon have a new member joining. In a moment, be prepared and conduct the interview with full attention."
"Oh, alright Lawyer Su."
Li Xuezhen's expression appeared somewhat dispirited.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xiang arrived at Baijun Law Firm.
Xu Xiang was approximately 1.8 meters (5 ft 11 in) tall and weighed about 90 kilograms (198 lb), had graduated from Nandu University of Law, and walked with energetic steps.
Inside the office.
When Xu Xiang saw Su Bai, his eyes lit up.
"Lawyer Su, hello."
"My name is Xu Xiang. I have heard that Lawyer Su has deep research in criminal cases and even promoted judicial reform in the Qi Feng case. I have admired Lawyer Su for a long time."
"Lawyer Su."
Xu Xiang enthusiastically extended his hand and firmly shook Su Bai's hand.
"Hello."
Su Bai responded with a smile.
While Xu Xiang was warmly greeting Su Bai, he seemed to notice a pair of eyes closely watching him, and when he turned his head he saw Li Xuezhen standing nearby.
Xu Xiang's expression showed slight surprise.
