Chapter 1122 I envy Lao Gao
Chen Ming’s law firm is not far from the hospital where Mr. Zhao is hospitalized, only seven or eight kilometers away.
Su Xing, Zhao Jinling and Zhao Xinxin, aunt and niece, took a taxi and arrived at the destination quickly.
The law firm was on the sixth floor of the building, and the three of them took the elevator upstairs.
Zhao Jinling took two deep breaths, trying to relieve her tension.
Zhao Xinxin reached out and held one of her aunt's hands.
Both of them were a little wet.
Su Xing said to the aunt and nephew, "We are the client, Party A. The law firm provides legal services to Party A. Don't be nervous."
Zhao Jinling and Zhao Xinxin nodded vigorously in unison.
Su Xing couldn't help but laugh.
The elevator stopped, and the three of them got off and followed the signs to the law firm.
There was an assistant on duty at the front desk. When she saw Su Xing and the other two, she stood up and said, "Hello, welcome to XX Law Firm. Do you have an appointment or do you need to consult on a legal issue?"
Zhao Jinling opened her mouth but was speechless for a moment.
Su Xing smiled at the receptionist and said, "Hello, we have an appointment with Director Chen. My last name is Su, and their last name is Zhao."
"It's Miss Su and Ms. Zhao. Director Chen is waiting for you in the office. Please follow me."
The receptionist made a "please" gesture to Su Xing and the other three, and led them to Chen Ming's office.
Chen Ming heard a knock on the door and called out, "Come in."
The front desk assistant pushed open the door and said, "Director, Miss Su, Ms. Zhao and the others are here."
Chen Ming stood up to greet them, "Hello."
Su Xing smiled and said, "Hello, Director Chen."
She took the initiative to extend her hand and shook hands with Chen Ming.
Zhao Jinling followed suit and extended her hand to shake Chen Ming's hand. "Hello."
"Sit down, please."
Several people sat on the sofa as host and guest.
The assistant went to pour tea.
Chen Ming asked Su Xing, "I haven't seen Lao Gao for a long time. Is he doing well?"
Su Xing smiled and replied, "Teacher Gao is in good condition. It's just that he's been a little worried about us students during this period."
The two of them were familiar with each other and exchanged a few simple greetings in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
Zhao Jinling, who had been clenching her palms, finally relaxed.
We didn't chat for too long and soon started talking about business.
Chen Ming picked up the intercom and said, "I'll call Lao Guo over. He's the best lawyer in our firm who specializes in civil cases like this."
He still values the customers introduced by Lao Guo, so he called Lao Guo over to work overtime today.
When Su Xing heard that the lawyer Chen Ming was going to call was named Guo, she couldn't help but remember that the lawyer Jin Liang was going to introduce to her was also Lawyer Guo from this law firm. What a coincidence.
Lawyer Guo’s office was not far away, and he came over soon.
They introduced themselves to each other, greeted each other, and after sitting down, began to talk about the Zhao family.
Zhao Jinling is more familiar with what has happened in her family in recent years, so let her tell the story.
Chen Ming, Lawyer Guo and others occasionally interrupted to ask for some details.
After Zhao Jinling finished speaking, Lawyer Guo gave a professional case analysis and specific litigation solution from a legal perspective.
Zhao Jinling and Zhao Xinxin both had serious expressions, listened attentively, and tried hard to understand the key points in Guo Lu's words.
Seeing this, Su Xing would occasionally interrupt and help the Zhao family's aunt and niece ask some questions they wanted to know, or explain a few things to them in a low voice in an easy-to-understand way.
Chen Ming glanced at Su Xing twice. Lao Gao was a really good student. He was smart and quick-witted. He was less troublesome than the interns he supervised.
He suddenly felt a little envious of Lao Gao.
This case is not complicated. In the eyes of Chen Ming and Lawyer Guo, it is a very simple case.
After listening to the analysis, Zhao Jinling had a general idea in her mind.
She asked, "Then, if we sign a contract with your law firm now, does my father have to sign it himself? My mother doesn't understand anything, and she still has hopes for her youngest son. My father... is still lying in the hospital and can't speak clearly. My niece is still a minor..."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Zhao Xinxin's head, feeling a little worried.
Lawyer Guo asked, "Is your father thinking clearly now?"
Zhao Jinling nodded. "My dad is pretty smart. He was the one who took the initiative to ask my brother for the money back."
Lawyer Guo said, "In this case, your father can sign a power of attorney agreement directly with our law firm. If he's able to express himself, he can dictate the details, and we'll draft the power of attorney, clearly defining the matters and authority. He'll then confirm it with his fingerprints, and we'll invite two or more witnesses who have no vested interest in the case to be present. As their granddaughter's guardians, your parents can also appoint a lawyer to recover the compensation that belongs to her."
After a pause, he continued, "Another option is for your father to issue a written power of attorney, explicitly authorizing his daughter, Ms. Zhao, to handle all matters related to the attorney appointment, including signing the power of attorney contract. The power of attorney also requires the father's fingerprints and must be witnessed by two or more disinterested witnesses. Then, you need to bring the power of attorney, your identification, and proof of your relationship with the father to sign the power of attorney contract with us."
Zhao Jinling was a little confused and felt it was very confusing.
Su Xing translated it again for Zhao Jinling in plain language.
Zhao Jinling nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and ask my dad what he thinks."
"Okay, you can go back and have a good talk with the old man."
After finishing the discussion, Su Xing, Zhao Jinling and the other two said goodbye to Chen Ming, Lawyer Guo and others and left the law firm.
Zhao Jinling and Zhao Xinxin were worried about the elderly couple of the Zhao family who were in the hospital and were anxious to go back.
Su Xing originally wanted to separate from Zhao Jinling and Zhao Xinxin and go back to the base directly.
Zhao Jinling suddenly said, "Xinxin, you've missed so many days of classes. Why don't you go back to the village with your sister Su?"
Zhao Xinxin frowned, "But..."
She is worried about the hospital.
Zhao Jinling continued, "Don't you still need to take that poetry notebook of yours and ask Sister Su to send it to the publishing house? Oh, and ask your grandma to go back with you. She's been in the hospital for so many days, and I'm afraid she can't take it anymore. Don't let your grandma collapse again before your grandpa is discharged."
Zhao Xinxin thought about it and felt that what her aunt said made sense. "Then...Aunt, can you take care of my grandfather by yourself in the hospital?"
Zhao Jinling said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Many patients only have one family member to take care of them. If I'm really too busy, I'll just hire a nurse for two days. Don't worry."
Su Xing also said at this time: "Looking at Grandma Zhao's condition, she should go back and have a good rest for a few days."
Zhao Xinxin nodded and said, "Then let's go back to the hospital and persuade my grandma. I'm afraid she won't want to go back."
Zhao Jinling said, "Let's go."
Su Xing followed the two back to the hospital.
The old couple of the Zhao family were both stunned when they saw the three of them coming back together.
They thought Su Xing had gone back a long time ago.
Zhao Jinling said to Xinxin's grandmother, "Mom, pack up and go back to the village with Su and Xinxin."
