Chapter 14: Live - streaming Legal Education and Encountering a "Sucker" Audience!

On the second day after the trial ended, Lin Chuan became extremely popular.

On the Internet, almost all the hot news was related to Lin Chuan.

On Weibo's hot - search list of the top ten, Lin Chuan occupied half of it.

The ninth place on the hot - search list: Section 19. A genius lawyer becomes famous overnight and successfully defends Ms. Zheng, a public - welfare worker who unfortunately passed away!

The eighth place on the hot - search list: Defending the legal bottom line, intern lawyer Lin Chuan takes on three opponents alone in court and creates a defense miracle!

The sixth place on the hot - search list: Due to Lin Chuan's defense case, the stock of Anxin Group, one of the top 500 domestic enterprises, hits the limit down, and its chairman and chief CEO He Xiao is sent to prison!

The third place on the hot - search list: Possibly due to Lin Chuan's defense case, Ludong Province launches an anti - corruption campaign against officials!

And the title on the first place of the hot - search list is even more astonishing, with a danger index of ten stars. Lawyer Lin Chuan, the "Five - Kill" lawyer, is actually a super handsome man!

...

Sure enough, the audience on Weibo is still mainly female. Being able to occupy the top ten on the hot - search list on Weibo, Lin Chuan's image contributed a lot.

After the police collected evidence, He Xiao, the chairman of Anxin Monitoring Group, was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison. And the doctor who originally issued the depression certificate for He Tianyi was also held accountable and sentenced to one year in prison. In addition, the defendant He Tianyi, the defense lawyer Zhang Changming, and the presiding judge Qi Jun, the three of them were also sent to prison by Lin Chuan to "step on the sewing machine" (a Chinese slang meaning to go to jail). Therefore, netizens gave Lin Chuan a nickname, the "Five - Kill" lawyer!

At the same time, on the largest short - video platform in China, the hot - search list was also dominated by Lin Chuan. Even Lin Chuan's name became a popular tag. As long as the video tags selected Lin Chuan, they could get good traffic.

At the same time, the operation manager of Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok) took the initiative to call Lin Chuan. In the phone call, it was expressed that they hoped Lin Chuan could sign a contract with Douyin and be a live - streamer. In his spare time, he could popularize legal knowledge among netizens and promote the cause of legal education in China.

However, Lin Chuan didn't show the slightest interest. It was not until the manager Su Qing said there was money to be made that Lin Chuan became interested.

"Can you make money by being a live - streamer?"

"How much money can you make?"

"What is the dividend ratio?"

"Is there a contract template?"

...

Lin Chuan was too short of money. He wanted to open a law firm, and the initial investment was very large. Without one or two million, it simply couldn't be sustained.

Su Qing, the operation manager of Douyin, was confused by the questions and simply sent Lin Chuan a sample contract.

Ten minutes later, Lin Chuan called Su Qing back.

"The legal department of your Douyin platform is not quite up to par."

"There are a lot of problems with this contract."

"If I want to find loopholes, it's extremely easy. I can even extort a considerable amount of money from your Douyin platform."

Hearing this, Su Qing was stunned for a moment.

"Ah! Really? It's so serious? But our signing contract has always been this one, and there haven't been any problems."

"Well, that's because you haven't met me."

Lin Chuan wasn't bragging. He had a lawyer system, and his sensitivity to legal articles far exceeded that of other lawyers. Just by briefly skimming through it, Lin Chuan found legal loopholes in Douyin's signing contract.

"Er..."

Su Qing didn't dare to refute. After all, the news of Lin Chuan taking on three opponents alone in court and sending the judge to prison had spread everywhere. His legal foundation was unquestionable.

"Lawyer Lin Chuan, then what about this contract?"

"It's okay. I can improve the contract for you. Of course... it's not free."

"No problem, Lawyer Lin. You can name your price. I can decide on the remuneration of the contract."

"One hundred thousand."

Lin Chuan started off like an old hand. He knew that for a big company like Douyin with a market value of over one trillion, one hundred thousand yuan was just a drop in the bucket.

"No problem. I'll transfer it to you immediately."

"But please send me the improved contract as soon as possible, because our company is currently signing up a large number of live - streamers on a large scale."

Su Qing was a little anxious. Now Douyin was getting bigger and bigger, and the number of signed live - streamers under it was also increasing. Once there were problems with the contract, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I'll send it to you right away."

When Lin Chuan was skimming through the contract just now, he had annotated the problems on the contract template by the way.

"Ah, so fast!"

Su Qing was shocked. You know, there are more than twenty people in their company's legal department, and it takes at least two days to draft a contract and check it back and forth. But Lin Chuan alone, in the blink of an eye, had perfected the signing contract. This efficiency, was he even human?

For a moment, Su Qing even had an impulse to apply to the headquarters to dissolve the legal department. It would be better to hire Lin Chuan alone as a legal consultant. It was cost - effective and efficient.

"Okay, Manager Su."

"I've sent the contract to you. You can let your colleagues in the legal department check whether there are any loopholes."

The arrival information of the bank card came to Lin Chuan's mobile phone. He hurriedly hung up the phone.

...

In the afternoon, Lin Chuan went to the intersection of Longhu Street and Xigang Street. This is the business circle of Luzhou, with a large flow of people.

Xinyang Law Firm was located here, and the shop next door was unrented. Lin Chuan decided to rent it and open a law firm.

He contacted the landlord of the shop, signed a lease contract, and paid the one - year rent of 480,000 yuan in one lump sum.

Then he hired a decoration company. According to his requirements, it would cost at least 400,000 yuan.

So, Lin Chuan spent another 400,000 yuan on the decoration company, and his wallet instantly became empty.

In the evening, Lin Chuan ate a bowl of beef noodles by the roadside and returned to his rented room.

Touching his empty wallet, Lin Chuan sighed and opened his computer to start live - streaming.

Just as Lin Chuan had expected, as soon as he started live - streaming, the number of viewers in the live - streaming room approached 100,000+.

Well, the gift special effects in the live - streaming room never stopped. Sports cars, rockets, and even the "Divine Dragon" worth 100,000 yuan each appeared.

"Enough, enough!"

Lin Chuan found that, damn it, live - streaming was a quick way to make money. He had been live - streaming for less than half an hour, and the value of the gifts received alone was more than 500,000 yuan.

If he hung up a small yellow cart (a Chinese e - commerce term for a shopping guide in live - streaming) and took some advertisements, wouldn't the money come rolling in?

However, Lin Chuan was not a greedy person. He came to live - stream not only for gifts but also wanted to contribute to the cause of legal popularization in the country.

So, the live - streaming room turned off the gift function.

Now, finally, the live - streaming room could see the bullet screen (the real - time comments sent by viewers). And at the same time, there was a co - anchor application in the background of Lin Chuan's live - streaming room. The name of this viewer was very strange, called "The woman I paid 300,000 yuan in betrothal gifts accuses me of rape!".

The eye - catching name attracted Lin Chuan's interest. He guessed that this viewer might have encountered a legal problem.

Lin Chuan accepted the co - anchor request.

Sure enough, as soon as this connected viewer started speaking, there was a "sucker" flavor in his mouth.

"Save me, Lawyer Lin Chuan."

"The girlfriend I paid 300,000 yuan in betrothal gifts accuses me of rape!"
