High Pay in Legal Advice | 以法律建议支付的高薪

English Original

A famous lawyer frequently lectured his office boy, believing it was beneficial for the boy, even though the boy didn't need it.

One day, the lawyer overheard the boy being asked by the office boy from next door, "How much does he pay you?"

His office boy replied, "I get two thousand dollars a year. He pays about ten dollars a week in cash, and the rest in his legal advice."
