Finally, fifteen days have passed since the conclusion of the first trial.
These fifteen days, Gu Chen was extremely busy.
But there were also many gains...
Recruiting for the company costs money, but Gu Chen calculated...
The company can start making a profit now!
Because there are too many cases!!
The number of lawyers in the company has exceeded ten.
Five are graduates from Tsinghua with master's degrees, and the other five are graduates from the Peking University law department with master's degrees....
Of course, Tsinghua and Peking University are well-known, but the law departments of these two schools are not the top in the country!
Graduates from Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, East China University of Political Science and Law, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and the law schools of Renmin University and Huaxia University of Political Science and Law....
Many law graduates from these universities came to interview at the Gu Chen Law Firm.
There were more than thirty interviewees...
If all were hired, the company would have more than forty lawyers!!
And this is just the result of half a month's work....
Gu Chen found that hiring people for the company wouldn't lose money; instead, it would make money!
As long as there are no issues with the newly hired lawyers, Gu Chen can conduct periodic training sessions...
It's worth mentioning that even though these lawyers are top students from law schools across the country and are very knowledgeable about law... they can't match Gu Chen in professional lawyer capability.
In his previous life, Gu Chen was already a top-tier lawyer, with a deeper understanding of the lawyer profession and a better, more comprehensive grasp of the legal texts.
Currently, the company handles hundreds of cases a week...
Even with this number of lawyers, it's far from enough.
Gu Chen had no choice but to expand the company slowly; there's no rushing it.
Because lawsuits in this world don't take long—in his previous life, it was common for a lawsuit to take six months or even a year.
In this world, lawsuits don't exceed a month, and even with a second trial, they don't exceed two months, unless it's a particularly major case, which greatly increases the efficiency of legal proceedings.
"With the company's business developing, considering normal circumstances, the company's early profits will be substantial... Pure profit could easily be over a hundred thousand a month."
"If the company continues to expand, the monthly profits will be even higher!"
This is also due to the high popularity and attention of the law firm, leading to considerable profits even in the first month of operation.
Moreover, the better the company's benefits and treatment, the more it can attract outstanding individuals to join, allowing the company to gradually grow.
And this is just the income from running the company...
It doesn't even account for Gu Chen's live streaming; he could easily earn two hundred thousand a month just from live streaming. Just from gift revenue, he could earn a lot, especially since this is on TikTok, where the traffic is greater.
It's just that Gu Chen doesn't do live streaming for e-commerce; otherwise, given his current traffic, who knows how much he could earn.
Earning money is one thing, but the most important reason Gu Chen opened a law firm is to uphold legal fairness and justice, to protect people's legitimate rights.
If Gu Chen wanted to make money, he could make a lot more with his abilities.
"Hiring people for the company, expanding the company's scale, expanding the law firm's scale, and then integrating with short videos, the company can earn more money, and the scale will grow larger and larger," Gu Chen said.
"Of course, I am a lawyer myself...." Gu Chen could just earn money as a boss, but he still takes on cases and goes to court.
Gu Chen will even take on difficult cases.
Even as a boss, he is still a lawyer...
A lawyer who serves the people.
In the evening, Gu Chen received a call from Xue Yaoting.
Xue Yaoting is the director of the Fangda Law Firm!
Fangda Law Firm is one of the top three Red Circle Law Firms in the country! It has all top-tier lawyers and is much larger in scale than Gu Chen's law firm.
Gu Chen: "Hello, this is Gu Chen."
A friendly voice of Xue Yaoting came over the phone, "Hello, I am Xue Qingqing's grandfather and also the director of Fangda Law Firm. Thank you for taking care of my granddaughter. I wanted to invite you to our Fangda Law Firm, but seeing that you have already started your own firm, I won't extend the invitation now."
"However, there's one thing I'd like to ask you for help with," Xue Yaoting said with a smile.
"Hmm? What does Director Xue need my help with?" Gu Chen asked.
Speaking of lawsuits, Fangda Law Firm has countless top-tier lawyers; they wouldn't need Gu Chen at all.
Is there really something that needs Gu Chen's help?
"It's like this. I have a spot here, an opportunity to teach at Peking University's law department as an associate professor, where you can open your courses and teach students, directly obtaining a title, but the salary is not high, with an annual salary of just over ninety thousand, and one class a week. Do you think you have the time?"
"If you teach for a long time, you could be assessed to become a professor later on," Xue Yaoting said.
Gu Chen: "???"
Associate professor... Gu Chen was aware of this.
And it's at the law department of Peking University!!
Equivalent to becoming a university teacher suddenly? And as an associate professor...
Although the annual salary is not high, many professors don't become university teachers for the salary.
This is a tenured position, and a very respectable job, with the backing of the state, and affiliated with one of the country's top universities, Peking University!
It's just asking Gu Chen to teach a class once a week, show his face, but his social status would be completely different.
Previously, Gu Chen was just a lawyer, occasionally a part-time streamer, and the owner of a company.
But stepping up as an associate professor and university teacher means a completely different social standing, and with the backing of the state, ordinary people wouldn't easily offend such a person.
And with only one class a week... University teachers also have summer and winter breaks, making the job quite relaxed.
Gu Chen himself is already a top-tier lawyer, more than capable of teaching students.
The monthly salary is irrelevant... The key is the change in identity and status.
Xue Yaoting said, "Xiao Chen, I'll be straightforward with you. Qingqing is interning with you, she doesn't understand many things. Just take care of her a bit more, help guide her through things she doesn't get."
Gu Chen: "Director, that's a trivial matter. Xue Qingqing is already very capable and smart. She picks things up quickly when I teach her, and since she's working at my firm, I'll definitely look out for her."
Xue Yaoting smiled, "Alright, so about this teaching opportunity at Peking University...."
Gu Chen said, "Director, I'm still in Yun City right now, and I can't leave for the time being. Give me a couple of months. In a couple of months, I'll be moving the law firm to Capital City, and then I can go teach weekly, is that okay?"
Xue Yaoting nodded, "Sure, come by anytime. If you run into any trouble when you get to Capital City, feel free to contact me."
Xue Yaoting just wanted to build stronger ties with Gu Chen...
After all, Gu Chen is indeed a talent.
With just three cases... he demonstrated extraordinary abilities.
And Gu Chen opened his own law firm... It's not a bad idea to make a new friend.
Meanwhile...
Zhao Lele's second trial is about to begin!!!
