"Elite Lawyer" is an urban drama about "hard work and struggle".
But there is no stereotype of this kind of drama that is too painful, too tiring, and haggard, nor does it have the grassroots counterattack and strong transcendence, as well as the vast hardships.
In that glass-curtain wall building, the spacious and bright office environment is full of people with fragrant clothes and elegant hair. Case filing, investigation, mediation, judgment, and gossip after tea and dinner are all included.
Everything is told in a smooth manner, polite, eloquent, frank, progressing slowly, calmly and rationally. From corner to corner, there is a harmonious atmosphere of calmness, confidence and smiles.
If you pay a little attention, you will smell the smoke.
Off the stage, there are external fights and internal fights. After the fight breaks down, they reorganize and fight again. Overt and covert fights follow like a shadow, and the battle of intelligence goes on and on, possibly even endlessly.
Boring. But normal.
Because the teacher Hegel said that everything that exists is reasonable.

Seal and Gu Jie founded Quan Jing Law Firm together.
It was Gu Jie who persuaded Seal to start a business, saying that you were not good at sociability, so you just stayed at home. I see in all directions and listen in all directions, and it’s my job to capture the source of customers.
One person focuses on the inside and the other on the outside (note: not two people), creating a new world. Not only did Quan Jing become one of the top ten law firms in a certain place, Seal was also elected as the chairman of the Lawyers Management Committee.
Seal occasionally had doubts and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain clearly.
During the start-up period, he didn’t bother to get to the bottom of things, but his doubts were drowned out by his brilliant performance later.
What is going to come will come - Murphy's Law.
Gu Jie was not strict in verifying the documents, which caused great losses to the client. The client wanted to take Quan Jing Law Firm to court.
Gu Jie is a bit arrogant. She is good at trivial cases, but is somewhat unable to provide standardized services to large companies.
Writing Guangzhou City as Guangzhou "Province" is such a low-level mistake. In the past, Seal didn't particularly care.
But this time the client was angry and suggested that instead of replacing Gu Jie with Luo Bin, they would change law firms.
Luo Bin has won the title of Best Lawyer in Asia and is well-known.
In order to protect Gu Jie from being accused and Quan Jing from being compensated for losses, Seal agreed to change generals. Accordingly, the seal caused Gu Jie to be temporarily demoted one level.
Feng Yin believes that not only Gu Jie should reflect deeply, but also himself should think carefully. He has learned lessons in the past two years. In order to make money, I always rush to make progress, and it would be strange if I didn't make any mistakes.
The law firm has developed steadily for many years, but it overturned in the proofreading, and the details of the explanation determine success or failure.
Punishing Gu Jie is to give an explanation to clients externally, and to serve as a warning to other lawyers internally.
When He Sai asked Seal whether to set up a legal aid center in the office, he immediately agreed.
Quan Jing is not what he used to be, and he has the confidence to do more charity. He has long considered extending his public welfare tentacles to the general public and litigating lawsuits for ordinary people for free.
In recent years, Quan Jing has become very wealthy. If you have a lot of money, you are a big customer, that’s no problem. But it’s time to adjust to a single orientation that only looks at money.
Some lawyers rank their clients based on the amount of legal fees and rarely take the initiative to provide legal aid to ordinary people.
Seal has put the issue of values ??on the agenda of law firms, and the establishment of a legal aid center is the beginning.

Gu Jie thinks differently.
She believes that law firms should make more money and focus on large clients. Whoever has more money can get the best legal services.
Seeing her photo taken down from the row of managing partners, she felt indignant.
Gu Jie thought it was Seal who was pressuring her to exclude her.
I am the hero of what the law is today. Customers are never 100% satisfied. If you don't cover for me, why don't you let me step aside?
In fact, Seal has sympathy for Gu Jie. If Gu Jie hadn't cheered him up, he still wouldn't know where he would be writing legal documents.
Letting Gu Jie be demoted is just a reminder, and she will post the photo back after a while. But Gu Jie refused to comply and was so aggressive that she caught Seal off guard.
The gray line of grass and snakes lies thousands of miles away.
That was a case that Seal had handled before. Like Gu Jie, he was eager for success and not meticulous. Although the case was closed normally, the customer had nothing to say. But something happened to the family because of the outcome of the case.
The person involved is a girl who hates the seal deeply.
Gu Jie found her quietly and said, I will arrange for you to see the seal... and you complained about sexual harassment afterwards. This way the seal will be punished and you can get compensation.
The girl agreed.
As a result, Gu Jie acted improperly by spreading seals everywhere and discredited the law firm. After some heavyweight clients heard about it, they transferred their legal counsel to other law firms.
As the founder, Gu Jie convened the board of directors again and asked the senior partners to vote.
In a very clever move, Gu Jie came to power and was dismissed from get out of class. During the period of responding to the lawsuit, she only served as a consultant.
It was just a complaint, and before it was found out whether it was true or not, Gu Jie became ruthless.
Feng Yin regretted his soft-heartedness and kicked Gu Jie out first without complying with Quan Jing's regulations. Within a few days, he was deeply passive.
Fortunately, Luo Bin, the best friend of the seal, helped him get through the difficulty in time.
Luo Bin conducted a detailed investigation, explained the original story to the girl, and then exposed the transaction between Gu Jie and the girl.
Then, Seal went to make up for her original negligence, and the girl forgave Seal and withdrew the lawsuit.
The boss position was lost and regained, and Feng Yin had mixed feelings.
He and Gu Jiexian have achieved great success, but their relationship has become tense. Seal has seen the ugliest side of human nature.
Seal is not sociable, but he has a good reputation. No matter how Gu Jie spread rumors, Luo Bin just didn't believe them.
Feng Yin said that he drank too much at the time, and even he himself couldn’t tell if there was anything wrong with him. Luo Bin had no reason, but firmly believed that he didn’t do it.
Later, on another matter, Luo Bin gave the "reason" for the seal.
"You are not that kind of person, I am not that kind of person, and our law firm is not that kind of person."
When Quan Jing was growing up, Gu Jiela came to him at first. of customers, indispensable contribution. But the trust of clients is based on the seal and the character of most of Quan Jing’s lawyers.
Professional ethics accumulated over time demonstrate character. This is also a kind of communication.
This kind of communication is endorsed by character. More durable in the long run. To put it more closely, his character saved the seal and avoided Gu Jie's frame-up.
3.
The original intention of the seal was to use Gu Jie's mistake to make her stop and reflect. "You" are on the narrow road.
As the saying goes, you have your plan, the world has other plans. The unknown power is yet to come.
Gu Jie established a new law firm on the mountaintop to confront Quan Jing.
The first thing to do when opening is to poach Quan Jing’s heavyweight customers in a planned way. At the same time, a large number of assistant managers that Quan Jing has worked hard to cultivate for many years have been won over.
The seal won, but its vitality was severely damaged. Except for the three loyal ministers, there was no one in Quan Jing's grid.
When something really happened, the seal was very calm. I thought that he had a vague feeling that something was wrong at the beginning, and the answer was right in front of him.
The dust has settled and we are at ease.
He comforted himself: The big waves wash away the sand, but what is left is gold.
4.
In fact, the answer to the "wrong" feeling of sealing the previous feeling was only a small step closer and not completely clear.
Is there an irreconcilable conflict with Gu Jie?
They have many differences, but Seal is a person who is easy to discuss, will not act on impulse, and will not fall apart with others easily.
Have you fallen into the spell of "You can endure hardships, but not wealth"?
It’s not like that, the seal is more kind.
It is not his business to get entangled in petty interests. When it was time for him to get out of class, he was very depressed, but he didn't say anything, unlike Gu Jie who was scheming.
What happened.
After the initial goal was achieved, the two people could not imagine that they would be together in the future of the law firm.
Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. When things happen when people with different values ????are involved, the question of right and wrong becomes a question of taking sides.
If Seal makes a slight change, Gu Jie will overreact and even take risks against Seal.
The further you go, even if the seal remains motionless, Gu Jie will be sensitive to the distribution of interests, or cause trouble in terms of power, forcing him to fight fiercely.
Gu Jie's mistake in a specific case was nothing, and it was nothing compared to the prospect in Seal's belly.
Seal wants Quan Jing to make further progress, and hopes that Gu Jie will still work with him like when he first started, so he wants her to step back and calm down.
These are not pre-designed seals.
Things just happened, opportunities came so silently. Seal grabbed it and took advantage of the situation to leave Xuzhou.
Seal really can't think of any better way to bring Quan Jing to a higher platform.
In the early days, Feng Feng rarely exchanged ideas with Gu Jie.
Even if they exchange ideas, Gu Jie cannot connect to such a brain circuit. Even if she could get through and digest it, it would still be a very difficult process for her.
What's more, Gu Jie can't see Seal's honesty and honesty in her heart. Taking the case is just to make money. Is he a money-maker?
In fact, different ways can also be used for conspiracy. That is to put the establishment and practice of the same values ??on the agenda.
Seal has thought clearly. From now on, he must grasp both spiritual and material things with both hands and never give up.
But Gu Jie was still running wildly on the original road. Change is not easy and ideas are always linked to past experiences.
Gu Jie is not satisfied with a modern office, having a secretary and assistant, driving a luxury car, living in a high-end apartment, wearing high-end suits and beautiful shirts, and the next generation will go to prestigious schools.
She believes that imaginary things must be based on abundant material. The more solid the foundation, the more confident you are, and the better you can do things.
Besides, the outside world is fluid, changing, and unpredictable.
Perhaps in this era we are going through, the idea of ??sealing is a bit ahead of its time, and the opportunity has not come yet; Gu Jie happened to step into the rhythm and stand in the forefront.
It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. "The land ends here and the sea begins here." At the turning point, each has different demands.
This strange status quo of "different" derivation and various digging holes for each other will hurt both sides, and the damage will be too serious.
At this point, parting ways becomes natural, and let what is natural happen naturally. The ancients also said, "If we divide for a long time, we will unite and if we unite for a long time, we will divide."
In fact, just act in accordance with the contract. There is no need to make it too embarrassing. If it is too embarrassing, it will make people feel chilling and make it difficult to see each other afterwards. Hindsight is like this.

Lawyer He Sai is a contradictory character.
He has principles and a bottom line, but he is not able to smoothly understand the information conveyed by customers.
Obsessed with self-esteem, decency, some insignificant things. He pestered Luo Bin to argue for two days about whether a lyric was correct or not.
He wavered between Gu Jie and Seal. But he can't be an outsider because he looks forward to becoming Quan Jing's senior partner.
Gu Jie secretly wooed him. As long as you vote for me, I will promote you after I take office. He refused, saying he had to live up to his conscience.
How much is conscience worth? First tell me, are you worthy of yourself? He Sai still has to have a conscience if he doesn't listen to Gu Jie's instigation.
When Gu Jie established a new law firm, he felt that Seal was partial to Luo Bin, so he hesitated and agreed to resign and follow her.
Speaking of practical matters, Gu Jie turned her back and refused to give him the position of senior partner unless He Sai brought Quan Jing's big client over.
He Sai understood that everything has a price. Pies falling from the sky must be exchanged for matching things.
Gu Jie’s unsealed Bodhisattva heart taught He Sai a lesson in her own way.
Under the seal banner, He Sai is more casual. Often picky about the quality of clients as a reason not to take a case, or to quit if they want to.
Jose's father is the dean of the law school and a seal teacher. Therefore, the seal is only a few points against He Saijiang. If you don't do it, don't do it. Just transfer the case to someone else.
But He Sai still felt that Seal was leaving him alone and always protecting Luo Bin.
Luo Bin is a classmate of He Sai University. He entered the institute together and followed the seal since he was an intern.
If He Sai pays a little more attention, he will see that Luo Bin never picks and chooses the jobs he takes. The more difficult the case, the more challenging he finds it.
Therefore, even though Luo Bin was full of arrogance and was gossiped about by others, Seal insisted on promoting Luo Bin to senior partner.
Seal did not think that He Sai was not good, but thought that he needed experience. For example, He Sai almost caused Quan Jing to lose the big client of Ren's Company.
The seal inspired Jose to discover that customers should be as nimble as a shark, instead of being picky and pushing them away.
At least you should be patient and listen to what others have to say and make things clear. Even if the other party is being unreasonable, you still have to see if there is any room for change.
But He Sai has a lot of expectations and prejudices stuck in his throat, which will directly annoy his customers.
This made Ren Xiaonian particularly irritable: I paid because I wanted you to solve the problem for me. I’m not just listening to you rip off legal provisions and say this doesn’t work and that doesn’t work.
After Luo Bin was replaced, Luo Bin told Ren Xiaonian that the case should be resolved quickly, otherwise it would affect the recent merger and acquisition plan. Ren Xiaonian was convinced.
In the face of a complex society, He Sai's cognitive ability is still lacking. He also needs to learn from Luo Bin and reflect on himself where the gap lies.
6.
He Sai read a lot of books and became interferon.
The key points of cases that are spread out are rarely solved quickly and easily.
Weigh it, weigh it. Tangled between values ??and reality. Then he gets emotional, loses his temper, and becomes extremely fragile.
He often has intense inner conflicts, worries about gains and losses, is at a loss as to what to do, and is in great pain. Including the person to talk to.
He Sai gave a lesson to young lawyers. When talking about what recordings are considered legal sources, he said that the most important thing about recording privately is not to let the evidence collection target discover that you are recording.
His disciple Fan Xiaotian asked questions and recorded them privately without letting the other party notice. He also asked the other party to tell the truth, unless the other party is someone you trust extremely, or at least has a good impression of you.
The problem is to use other people's trust in you to obtain the recording so that it can be used as evidence in court to defeat the other party. Teacher, don't you think this method is a bit... unethical?
Jose talks on paper: Spies and undercover agents rely on the trust of the other party to obtain information and defeat the other party.
He confessed his deepest troubles to his apprentice.
"The profession of lawyer itself will cause great inner conflicts. It is a very confrontational profession. If you are too weak, it is recommended to change industries."
This This kind of trouble comes from the inconsistency between sensibility and rationality, and from the discrepancy between books and reality.
Not just He Sai, everyone has it, it’s just a matter of habit or not.
As an aside, bastards like Ren Xiaonian don’t have so much trouble. Money is needed to settle the dispute. Very neat. It is exactly the same as Gu Jie's theory.

One of the reasons why this drama is so good is that there are many big-name and middle-level actors playing supporting roles, while the heroine Lan Yingying is a minor actor.
Lan Yingying has no trace of acting. You believe she is Dai Xi, not Lan Yingying.
Every interaction and communication between her and her teacher Luo Bin is very interesting. Such as nods, glances, arguments. They all fit together delicately and make perfect collisions.
He is not afraid to argue with Luo Bin in the coffee shop. He reacts quickly and expresses the words carefully. He knows the terms by heart and keeps blurting them out.
So Luo Bin left her a business card and invited her to be her assistant.
Previously, Dai Xi was cheated by a good friend, lost his diploma, and was almost isolated from his favorite career. Survival from desperate situation, the opportunity was brought to herself by her.
Lan Yingying’s Dai Xi is a Dai Xi who has not been tortured to death by legal provisions, but still retains a sense of innocence.
Lawyers are a brave and resourceful profession, and Dai Xi is a newcomer.
She doesn’t have Gu Jie’s ability and determination, she doesn’t have Li Na’s grace, she doesn’t have Lan Hong’s exquisite beauty, and she doesn’t have Liao Jiamin’s overwhelming beauty...
But she was unrestrained and rushed forward from beginning to end.
To perceive the objective and experience the stumbling. Make a road across mountains and build a bridge over water, cross the river by feeling the stones, be devoted and immersed.
With the ability to recite dozens of laws and regulations; with the sense of justice that is not afraid of evil forces and bringing fairness to ordinary people; with the ability to be recognized as a game master by the game company; with the pain of breaking up with your boyfriend for only one day The efficiency is eye-catching.
Dai Xi improved despite making many mistakes, and even asked his teacher Luo Bin to take the blame. Luo Bin wanted to fire her. And multiple times. Lift it up and put it down.
From the day she lost her diploma, she was prepared. At worst, she shed a few tears and sold coffee to support herself.
After finally making up for his failure in showing off and signing the contract, Dai Xi excitedly ran down the corridor, spreading his hands, enjoying himself without distraction like a kitten, puppy, lamb, bird, or mouse.
She is too young, but she has light in her heart, so she takes things as they come.
