#Online influencer dubbed “Legal Affairs Director” receives a public warning from the Bar Association#
Recently, a blogger named “Guobang Legal Services” has caught the attention of netizens, and the main reason is his hairstyle! After being meticulously trimmed, he now looks like a cube... Netizens, ever imaginative, have been joking about it, and he’s gone viral as a result.
Meanwhile, Director Xiao Hongfei, who has gained widespread attention, told reporters in an interview that he adopted this “square-cut hairstyle” to make his work more convenient: “After I joined the legal services company last year, I started by shaping my image into one of fairness and impartiality.” This statement, combined with the words “legal services” in Director Xiao’s online nickname, led many netizens to believe that he is a lawyer.
On August 9, the Shenzhen Lawyers Association clarified that the “Pingtouge” who has been widely circulating online—a certain director—is mistakenly believed by some to be a lawyer, but in fact, he is not a lawyer at all, let alone a Shenzhen-based one. A public reminder: If you require legal services, please consult a qualified attorney, enter into a retainer agreement with a law firm, and request a formal invoice.
