Embrace the happiest law firms in a changing world

Wen/Wang Xinping

The overall goal of all laws is generally or should be to increase social happiness

——English Bentham

A few months ago, two interns wrote in their personal experiences:

The WeChat group name inside is "Liqun Family", and as its name suggests, everyone makes this place even more warm. Here, I not only gained practical training, but also learned how to get along with people. I have organized multiple interns' symposiums, including the fruit prepared by Sister Li at noon in the summer, the inquiry of 'whether it's a good way to take you on the way home from work', and the sincere professional advice that lawyers often give me. From learning planning, career choices, to family relationships, I have the confusion that most college students have. Everyone's experience cannot be replicated, but I am still very grateful for every chat. The psychological journey of people who come to law firms can always inspire me and effectively alleviate various anxieties.

Everyone may have had some very distant ideals, but when they sink down and work steadfastly, they realize that everything in front of them is not easy, and every step they take has its meaning. At an unknown moment in the future, this memory will begin to shine brightly, illuminating the way forward, guiding and providing courage for my confused self. I understand that over time, the business skills I have learned now will be internalized as a part of my work abilities, and the warmth of the big family that I have experienced during this time will continue to inspire me in the days when I fall and rise again, and every time I think of it, I will have a more determined and upward force. I am very grateful to every colleague who smiles at me, every friend who chooses to believe in me and work with me side by side, and holding in awe of the present is my most sincere gratitude.

After reading their words, I wrote a paragraph in my daily work diary that day - in Liqun, as long as there are more and more young people like this, we will eventually find a peach blossom paradise that belongs to our own hearts!

Founding Partner: Zhou Xiangen

Niao Niao, holding hands with you, watching you curl up and disappear invisibly. Take a sip and exhale through your entire body. This kind of enjoyment belongs to veteran smoker Zhou Xiangen.

He is very naughty.

Smoking is not allowed in the office area of Liqun Office, but he is difficult to control and often violates the regulations.

I have advised him multiple times to quit smoking for the sake of health.

He said, "A cigarette that has been smoking for decades has become a friend. If a friend who has been smoking for decades can be abandoned at once, this kind of person is very sentimental, you should be careful

After listening, I couldn't help but laugh.

For your fingers not to be lonely, continue to be intimate with you in your small room!

He is very stubborn.

The law firm holds fun sports events every year, one of which is the tug of war competition. Originally, his body did not allow him to participate in intense sports, but he did not want to drag the back of the group and had to participate. He threw his shoes and went barefoot in battle, even saying that he would only win if he fought hard!

Before coming to Liqun, I heard that the two words that my peers rated him the most were dictatorship and domineering; Some even use the term 'like walking on thin ice' to describe my situation of changing ownership and benefiting the masses.

After spending a long time together, I realized that - Brother, not the legendary brother.

He is very meticulous.

He often advises me not to pursue perfection, but his own thoughtful and meticulous consideration of problems surpasses that of ordinary young people. At first glance, he thought he was a rough person, but in reality, he was thick and thin.

Nowadays, Liqun has nearly 80 personnel, and it is indeed not easy to navigate such an old and prestigious institution. When I encounter confusion in management, I immediately think of Xiangen.

I have read this passage: With people of the same frequency, you don't need to speak too much to know your inner thoughts; You don't have to compromise, you can get along easily.

Both Xiangen and I are human beings and enjoy meeting each other honestly; They are all acute, emphasizing efficiency in handling affairs; Both advocate reading and writing; They advocate a learning style of first finding answers on their own and then consulting others, and have similar or similar understandings in many aspects. Therefore, in the past three years, we have hardly blushed.

In terms of age, Lawyer Zhou is under 60; In terms of business, he still leads the pack and can continue to lead Liqun for several years. But he did not linger and chose to retreat bravely, voluntarily handing over the baton managed by the law firm to middle-aged and young lawyers. This is not easy for an established large company that has been developing for more than 20 years.

His visionary mind and strategic wisdom have won praise from everyone in the industry. As Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty wrote in his poem "Climbing the Flying Peak": "Not afraid of floating clouds covering your eyes, you are at the highest level

What is a friend? In the Buddha Sutra, it is said that "Friends have four qualities": "Friends are like flowers, friends are like scales, friends are like mountains, and friends are like the earth

In my eyes, Xiangen can be considered a friend like a mountain and earth.

He likes to drink alcohol and socializes with him, "It's like drinking strong flavored wine and getting drunk without realizing it

For the rest of my life, having people walking hand in hand is fate; Those who know and cherish each other are blessed.

Housekeeper: Li Caiying

Writing about Liqun, there is a person who cannot be bypassed. She is Li Caiying, who is respected by everyone as the "big butler". Usually, Li Jie is affectionately referred to by Li Qun people.

Ms. Li's current position is as a cashier. The basic requirement for cashier work is that the calculation of income and expenditure and the recording of wages must be accurate and accurate. I have been a law firm director for over a decade, during which I have experienced multiple cashiers. To be honest, Sister Li is one of the tellers I have ever seen - the one with the least mistakes and the most meticulous work.

Although Sister Li serves as a cashier, she is also an orderly. Any matters in the office that do not belong to the responsibilities of other administrative personnel are considered hers. She never cares, let alone complains. This is also the origin of the nickname "Big Butler" in Liqun.

Sister Li has a unique love. For example, last year's Spring Festival holiday was originally scheduled on December 24th of the Southern Chinese New Year. Some partners feel that it's a bit early, so Li took the initiative to ask the administrative staff who came from afar to go home first, and a few local staff would have a later holiday.

Li Jie is a person who works regardless of day or holiday. The matter of benefiting the masses was always in her eyes, every thought in her heart, and constantly on her lips.

For over a decade, Sister Li has always had a strong sense of patriotism and a fervent love for the large family of Liqun. I often boast that she has truly made the law firm her home.

Sister Li has a loud voice, which may be related to her anger. When she called out to someone, her voice rang through the entire booth, but everyone became accustomed to it.

Don't look at Sister Li's loud voice, sometimes in front of me, she's innocent like a child, and when she's in a hurry, she pouts at me. As Nietzsche said, "The true maturity of a person is to return to childlike clarity

She likes to eat popsicles. Once it's summer, there's no shortage of popsicles in the office. Influenced by her influence, I would occasionally open the refrigerator door and pick up an ice cream stick to taste.

In the midst of busy work, licking a sweet popsicle, even a moment of pure joy, can bring you a different feeling.

Women hold up half of the sky, and how can women ever surpass men. This year's March 8th Festival, I asked the administrative department to prepare flowers and chocolates in advance. I arrived at the office elevator early in the morning and waited, hoping to give the goddess in the office a Surprise!

Sister Li saw that I wanted to offer her flowers, so she quickly hid in the finance room. The administrative staff responsible for taking photos, Xiao Zhou, playfully asked, "Sister Li, has any man ever sent you flowers in this life

Not yet Sister Li blushed and timidly replied.

At that moment, it reminded me of Xu Zhimo's poem - the gentleness of bowing one's head, like a water lotus blooming in a cool breeze.

Treasure of the Town: Zhang Wenzhong

Lawyer Zhang Wenzhong is a beautiful person.

The lawsuit was handled beautifully, and I have handled many meaningful cases since I started working; The person has a beautiful appearance, with a height of 1.85 meters (the tallest in Liqun, possibly related to his appetite) and two red apple muscles on his face; The article is beautifully written, just look at his award-winning paper and you'll know it's impressive; Basketball is also played beautifully, although his body appears bulky, his flexibility on the court is not inferior at all.

The person in the article is very easygoing, and I have never seen him lose his temper; Speak slowly and logically, never speak harshly. Colleagues privately discuss the reason why he learned from Lawyer Liu Mao.

The article has an astonishing appetite and is known as the first bowl of the group. The phrase he often talks about is: strengthen nutrition. Some people lose weight and say they need to strengthen nutrition; Someone has gained weight and says they need to strengthen nutrition; Some people say they need to strengthen nutrition during happy events; Some people are unhappy and say they need to strengthen nutrition. As soon as everyone meets, the first sentence is: Strengthen nutrition.

Li Qun is full of witty and humorous lawyers, and Zhang Wenzhong is one of them. People with a sense of humor are mostly very attentive. This year's Spring Festival, the article sent me a WeChat message: "Good New Year, Director! Every year you have yoga and happiness in Jiating." It is both heartwarming and creative.

In the text, there is a systematic approach to doing things. Last summer vacation, the Taizhou Lawyers Association held the second youth training camp. There was a Civil code knowledge contest in the course, and I entrusted him to set the questions. The test paper was highly praised by the students, and even lawyer Wu Qingwang, the mentor of the youth training camp, said he wanted to bring a test paper back.

Zhang Wenzhong is an excellent young lawyer who is knowledgeable, straightforward, and dedicated. Among the Liqun family, he holds the most titles: member of the branch propaganda committee, member of the Liqun Youth Work Department, editor in chief of "Liqun Lawyer", member of the organizing committee of the Liqun Famous Lecture Hall, lecturer of the Liqun Public Welfare Rule of Law Lecture Group, and key member of the Liqun basketball team.

It's nothing to say that he is the 'treasure of the town'.

Starting this year, I suddenly noticed that Lawyer Zhang Wenzhong has changed. I was very active in the group before, and the young man asked him for advice and answered every question with great patience; Nowadays, there is very little voice in the group, and there is no mention of "strengthening nutrition".

Upon inquiry, it turned out that he and his wife planned to have a baby this year.

Lin Ching-hsuan once said: "Those who can make a great success must be energetic when they don't make a great success; those who can move like rabbits must be insightful when they are quiet like virgins."

Presumably, the article is about nurturing and accumulating energy for the purpose of raising children.

I still have limited knowledge of Lawyer Zhang Wenzhong, and I hope those who are familiar with him can write about him well.

Of course, many lawyers in Liqun should have someone write well.

Old driver: Zhang Liang

I first met Lawyer Zhang Liang at the first youth training camp of the Taizhou Law Association. At that time, Liqun had not yet reorganized, and Zhang Liang was practicing at his old employer, Hai Hao.

At the opening ceremony of the youth training camp, he made a statement on behalf of all the students titled "Meeting the Most Beautiful Us on the Most Beautiful Autumn Day".

The sound was crisp and the literary talent was brilliant, making my eyes shine.

I flipped through the work manual of the youth training camp, and the name of Zhang Liang was printed in the pick-up and drop off group.

Three days of youth training, with a full schedule. The Youth Working Committee of the Law Association invited two guests from Hangzhou to give lectures, all of whom were picked up and sent off by Zhang Liang alone. From Yangyan Mountain Villa in Linhai (Youth Training Camp Base) to Huangyandong Station in Taizhou, there are eighteen turns in the mountain road, and it takes hours to come and go. Zhang Liang didn't complain, and the car drove steadily.

After the reorganization of Liqun, I was fortunate enough to become a colleague with Zhang Liang, and we spent more time together. There are rich activities for benefit groups, such as Moot court, legal culture festival, celebrity forum, paper seminar, young lawyers debate contest, etc. The event inevitably had guests present, and every time Zhang Liang volunteered to become a driver.

He can pick me up and drop me off, so I can rest assured.

Zhang Liang, a true old driver of Liqun.

Words reflect a person's thinking ability and corresponding expression ability. Lawyer Zhang Liang possesses both of these abilities and is also outstanding.

Last year's annual meeting, I designated Zhang Liang as the representative of the professional department to speak, and he proudly said:

Our restructured Liqun is the largest institution in Taizhou, and due to the advertising law, it cannot be promoted in this way. However, in my heart, it is the largest institution. What does being the first mean? Not only should the most basic factors such as number of people, business volume, theoretical level, and case handling quality be the first, but also the popularity and reputation should be the first. Of course, cultural and sports competitions are not allowed to become second tier. Before the game, I joked in the basketball group that 'if I lose to Haimao at night, the basketball team will be disbanded on the spot', but many honest words were told through joking. So in the game, although we only had 6 and a half team members playing (that half was Li Mingfeng, because he played half to pick up his son), and despite being fat and thin, each of our team members was worthy of being a good crowd. Yin Chaohui used his thin and weak body to head the opponent's 1.9-meter tall man, and Xian Chao, Wen Zhong, and I all struggled to cramp, and we ultimately won the sea trade.

When Zhang Liang said these words, my eyes couldn't help but moisten.

Looking back on the evening of the celebration banquet, I, who usually doesn't drink alcohol, took the initiative to drink a few drinks in a row, and then vomited the old driver's car to the ground. Here, I want to say 'Sorry'.

Even if there is one second left, I will fight my life! The spirit of never giving up shines brightly on Zhang Liang's body.

A strong person is not without tears, he just runs with tears in his eyes

People who follow Liqun know that shortly after I arrived in Liqun, I formed two teams: a basketball team and a debate team.

Zhang Liang is the captain of the basketball team. Every time the basketball team plays, as long as time is available, I will be there to cheer and shout. Whether representing the unit or representing the law association, Zhang Liang takes every game seriously with the spirit of overcoming obstacles and fighting tenaciously as an old scalper:

When the score is leading, he will remind his teammates not to slack off and to fight until the end; When the score falls behind, he will motivate his teammates, boost everyone's morale, and remind them to build confidence, believe in themselves, and fight until the end.

This made him the spiritual leader of the Liqun basketball team. He set an example for the entire team with practical actions and created his own sky.

On the field, Lawyer Zhang Liang won the respect of his opponents with his strength; Off the field, he is cheerful, witty, and generous, which is also talked about by everyone.

Zhang Liang is one of the most approachable members of our Liqun family.

In the first year after the restructuring of Liqun, on October 22, 2019, I presided over a symposium for young lawyers. At the meeting, some young lawyers complained that I was managing too much or too carefully, showing impatience.

I admitted at the meeting that I had taken care of some things that I shouldn't have taken care of; But I am, mute kicked by a donkey - there is pain that cannot be said.

The next morning at 07:59, I received a WeChat message from Lawyer Li Xiaoxiao:

Lawyer Wang, I think you manage it quite well. You're not in your position, how can you understand your hard work. If everyone doesn't care, everything will go haywire. Nowadays, with a large number of people in the office, there will definitely be many problems, and each lawyer has their own personality. In fact, some of our young lawyers also find it difficult for you. I have communicated with them, and most of them are very reasonable. I think we should try our best to cooperate with your work and not let you worry too much. I hope to get better and better under your leadership, come on!

To be honest, I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to send me such heartwarming words. Because I have neither taken her to handle the case nor recommended any business to her. To put it bluntly, I haven't taken care of her.

In the ups and downs of the world, it is inevitable to be injured, frustrated, trapped, and lost. When you have difficulties to complain about, when someone around you knows your warmth and sorrow, understands your joys and sorrows, and provides comfort, you will suddenly feel fortunate!

To this day, I still cherish this WeChat, which has become one of the memories I am most reluctant to delete.

A smile is the most beautiful expression. Li Xiaoxiao is like his name. The smiling face always exudes a cheerful smile, and as long as she is there, there is no shortage of happy songs and laughter in the office.

Usually, Xiaoxiao likes to call me "Xinping Brother" and treat me as a close person.

I think a warm and humane big family must first achieve 'no big, no small'. The director is awe inspiring and least interesting. Because we and our employees are partners in creating a common cause, an equal and harmonious community of interests, rather than a simple employment relationship, let alone a monarch minister relationship.

Subordinates are used for care, not for giving orders. I like to use names such as' Xinping Brother 'and' Lawyer Wang '.

On January 18th last year, Xiaoxiao got married and asked me to be the witness. I gladly agree and feel greatly honored.

I remember at the wedding, I said this message:

At this moment, in this situation, if everyone asks me, what is love? Love is ordinary companionship, and it is accepting each other's wrinkles and gray hair with a smile. Marriage is happy, marriage is happy, and weddings are about moving towards better happiness and greater happiness. Of course, there will be difficulties and obstacles along the way, but only faith and trust are the guarantees of perseverance.

Smiling and staring intently at me, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.

This is the first time I've seen her shed tears. I understand in my heart that these are tears of happiness!

At this point, I would like to warn Xiaoxiao's husband:

Kaiwei, be good to Xiaoxiao, you are my family; It's not good to laugh, you're my enemy.

Memory and time, a river running in both directions.

In a few months, it will be the third anniversary of the official launch of the restructuring of New Liqun. As my third birthday approached, I selected five family members to outline the restructured picture of the law firm, holding the pen in my hand, and the lines were filled with emotional and artistic interweaving.

Each brother and sisters of Liqun is a light, shining, bright and different. Therefore, it is not only these five who are worth recording.

This is a pure and lovely big family, full of vitality and hope, with limited area and infinite warmth.

After experiencing the first year of love, the second year of love, and the third year of love, Liqun entered a new stage of steady development.

In the future, we will be more confident, more determined, more humble, more harmonious, and more warm!

A thousand words are inexhaustible. Finally, I would like to borrow the lyrics from the 2016 CCTV Spring Festival Gala "Love each other" and share them with all leaders and friends who care about the development of profit groups:

I like to go home

There are warm lights waiting

I like to bed together

Just see everyone's smiling faces

I enjoy going out

Just fighting for family and one's own ideals

I like a family

Looking in the same direction with the heart

I enjoy being happy

I want to share it with you right away

I enjoy being injured

Just thinking of your warm embrace

I like to be angry

Just thinking of you always being inclusive

How great

I enjoy traveling

Bringing your beautiful memories home

Because we are a family

A loving family

Fate brings us together

Only with a heart can we cherish it

Why let the clouds cover your eyes

Because we are a family

A loving family

Blessed should be shared together

Difficulties will inevitably lead to confusion

Exchange mutual understanding and mutual protection for eternity

......
