Although it was disappointing, but this night, Cheng Yao didn't sleep well at all, and what lingered in her mind was Qian Heng's aggrieved appearance. When I woke up the next day, no surprise, I had two dark circles under my eyes in the mirror. On the contrary, Qian Heng was full of energy, as if he had sucked the spirit of the old black mountain demon.
Fortunately, the two went to work in different law firms, so they could finally part ways. When Cheng Yao entered the gold brick, it was like leaving the compass that interfered with the magnetic field and started to operate accurately again.
But soon, her mood was lifted into the air again. When passing by the tea room of the law firm, Cheng Yao heard the conversation of several interns.
"Did you read that post?"
"Just pick up Qian Heng's post. The poster sorted out the morally controversial cases he had handled before, saying that he has no moral bottom line and is willing to do anything for money. Then his father was exposed as A The richest man in the city said that the cases that Qian Heng won in the early years were settled by the courts with money from his family... "
"Don't talk about Qian Heng, have you read the post about Lawyer Deng? Sure enough, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. When these two people appeared on "Lawyers Come to Debate", as soon as the popularity rose, they were all taken away by troublemakers. "
"What's wrong with Deng Ming?"
"As far as his ex-wife cheating on him, his ex-wife really embarrassed us women. After reading it, I think it's not easy for Lawyer Deng. He came from a poor family, and while his ex-wife fell in love with him, he felt like a high-ranking urbanite. He is the first class, he looks down on Deng Ming in every way, spends his money to support his lover, and because of his strong relationship, he would rather be set up by his ex-wife to leave the house without leaving the house."
"So pitiful? It's really not easy, especially after encountering such a thing, Lawyer Deng can still maintain such a refined and good temper and demeanor. This is a man. When you say this, I suddenly have more and more impressions of Lawyer Deng. All right… "
Several interns chatted with the mentality of gossip, but Cheng Yao was not calm after listening, her heart gradually sank, she took out her mobile phone, and had a bad feeling.
Naturally, Deng Ming wouldn't lie down and let Qian Heng beat him up. He couldn't win the show openly, but just like Cheng Xi reminded himself before, with his revenge and vanity, he would definitely play behind his back Damn, make some dirty tricks.
In the case of Lu Jian, although Deng Ming lost, because of his sophistry and success in dumping the blame, this case did not touch his vested interests at all. He was still the glamorous "conscience of the industry" to the outside world. On the other hand, Although Cheng Yao didn't want to admit it, in Deng Ming's eyes, he probably didn't even have the qualifications to be his opponent, so Deng Ming didn't even bother to take revenge on himself in the end.
However, Qian Heng is different. Qian Heng is too powerful and dazzling. He is like the most precious and beautiful jasper. Deng Ming is like the dim dead fish eye by his side. No one will oppress Qian Heng. Feeling and hand feel. Especially when Qian Heng dismantled Deng Ming's platform so mercilessly this time, Deng Ming really started to play with public opinion again.
Cheng Yao had to admit that Deng Ming never failed to play with public opinion and public mentality.
The so-called pickle posts started to ferment in the early hours of the morning. First, some anonymous "informed persons" left vague revelations in all the hot posts about Qian Heng—"Qian Heng is a poor character. The three views of morality are only bent for money, and they have been rampant so far because of their strong and terrible family background."
Then came all kinds of "informed people" who sprung up like mushrooms, claiming to be Deng Ming's neighbor; Deng Ming and Cheng Xi's alumni; Pi, the caliber of these "informed persons" is very uniform. That is, they all had truly witnessed how the gentle and refined Deng Ming was used and abandoned by his ex-wife. Although there are only a few words, these "informed people" have firmly stepped on the tipping point of public opinion: the poor boy fell in love with the peacock girl, stayed up all night for the peacock girl until his body collapsed and was hospitalized, bought a car for the peacock girl, and gave him a salary card, He thought he could finally lead a good life by counterattacking, but he was cheated by the peacock girl...
This almost completely aroused the anger of the broad masses of civilians. In this world, the vast majority are ordinary people who are neither rich nor noble. These people can counterattack with hard work to support themselves and endure terrible jobs. Deng Ming's story almost gave them an absolute sense of substitution. An honest man had struggled for half his life but was destroyed by a sinister and scheming woman. This almost completely hit the point of public anger. However, after Deng Ming suffered such great pain, he did not become hysterical. Instead, he was able to maintain a gentle and refined manner and continue to develop in his career path. In the end, he reaped happiness again and had a new family and children. The template only makes everyone feel elated.
Compared with Deng Ming, Qian Heng's situation is much worse. He is so good, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking professionally, good-earned, and even born in a good family. The pain points of netizens, and successfully attracted the followers of Qiufu Sect.
In this kind of public opinion, some people inadvertently described the cases handled by Qian Heng inadvertently: he represented a wealthy businessman who cheated, and let the poor ex-wife leave the house; The illegitimate son won the inheritance; he represented the greasy old man who was a chicken thief, and defeated his gentle ex-wife in a trust case...
At this time, another "passing crowd" took stock of the cases Deng Ming had handled: helping the widowed elderly to ask for child support from an unscrupulous son; The couple's common property squandered by the mistress...
Ordinary people mostly lack a rational understanding of the law and the profession of lawyers, and can only simply recognize justice and injustice from the moral level. Injustice and immorality in their eyes are the dross that should be attacked. And they are not like Cheng Yao, who know that Deng Ming's cases are just a fig leaf that he regularly uses to build his own personality. In fact, behind the use of these cases to win a good reputation, he only accepts cases based on the size of the target, and In order to win, he disregarded the law and did whatever he could.
As said in "The Crowd", what the crowd pursues and believes is never the truth and rationality, but blind obedience, cruelty, paranoia and fanaticism, and only knows simple and extreme emotions.
Deng Ming is well aware of the psychology of public opinion, and he almost hits the target with one blow.
Overnight, public opinion exploded in a completely different direction. With the obvious guidance and the navy, Qian Heng's reputation on the Internet was discredited all of a sudden, and his reputation as a "cancer of the industry" was confirmed; Deng Ming, relying on his "tragic past", successfully counterattacked by word of mouth, and harvested a wave of mixed The sympathetic favor and encouragement have once again secured the throne of "the conscience of the industry". The stark contrast between Qian Heng and Deng Ming's private lives suddenly overturned their reputation.
—
Cheng Yao looked at these posts and felt great anger in her heart. Deng Ming was too despicable and shameless. He was like this when handling cases, even when he was doing a variety show. If he couldn't win, he used dirty means to slander his opponents.
"Qian Heng is really disgusting, vomiting, I hope he will get genital warts and AIDS after being sterilized, and cauliflower will grow all over his face!"
"Lawyer Deng's ex-wife, Cheng Xi, doesn't look dignified on the outside. This kind of woman actually has a strong desire in her heart, and she is very lewd when she gets on the bed. Let me show you a photo I picked up, and analyze it against me. Let me show you the face."
…
Because of the Bai Xingmeng case, it's not that Cheng Yao has never experienced cyber violence. However, at this moment, seeing these curses and malicious assumptions, she realized that this was more unacceptable than being scolded herself.
Qian Heng is not such a person, nor is Cheng Xi.
Until this moment, she could no longer lie to herself. She cared about Cheng Xi, and she cared about Qian Heng damn well. These two people are equally important to me.
For the sake of Cheng Xi and Qian Heng, Cheng Yao felt that she should do something instead of just sitting around waiting to die.
But before she could figure out a way, she got a sad news from Li Chengxuan.
During the lunch break, Li Chengxuan walked up to Cheng Yao mysteriously.
"Cheng Yao, do you think I should change my hairstyle? Isn't this hairstyle too ordinary to be on TV?"
"On TV?"
Li Chengxuan was very proud: "Do you know about "The Lawyer Comes to Debate"? Recently, the attention has been very hot. In tonight's episode, the program team invited me to compete with Deng Ming."
Cheng Yao frowned, and said in astonishment, "Isn't Qian Heng against Deng Ming?"
"That guy Qian Heng has been scolded badly on the Internet recently. He may not be able to bear the public opinion. He plans to withdraw from the recording of the second episode after he plans to pay compensation for breach of contract. The program team found me in the morning and begged my grandpa to tell my grandma to let me go to the rescue. Woolen cloth."
Li Chengxuan had no intention of speaking, but Cheng Yao listened with intention.
For a man like Qian Heng, there is absolutely no reason to quit because he can't bear the public opinion and infamy. He has a very tough personality. Because he is strong, he doesn't care about the evaluation of the outside world. The momentum of the world.
So what's going on
Cheng Yao couldn't hold back, she hid in the conference room, hesitated again and again, and pressed the familiar number. Since the breakup, she had actually deleted Qian Heng's number, but when things came to an end, she didn't need to think about it, she had already dialed the number.
Some things, even if deleted, are still remembered. For a while, Cheng Yao hated herself for being weak and self-defeating.
The phone was answered almost instantly, and Qian Heng's deep voice was on the other end: "Cheng Yao?"
She wasn't nervous when she dialed the number, but now she became nervous instead. Cheng Yao subconsciously changed the subject to ease the embarrassment: "Are you free today? You answered so quickly?"
"Your ringtone is special."
Qian Heng is like this. Sometimes this man is too straight, but sometimes he knows the art of speaking too well. He didn't say anything else, but just such a sentence, the implied emotions are ready to come out——
Only you, I can pick up so fast.
Cheng Yao tried her best to shake off the emotions in her heart, and went straight to the main topic: "Why did you quit the show tonight?"
Qian Heng obviously didn't want to tell the truth, his voice was flat: "Suddenly don't want to go, it's not interesting."
"But didn't you invite me to the scene at night?"
Qian Heng paused, and his voice lowered slightly: "You won't go."
"I can."
Qian Heng was quiet on the other side.
"As long as you play, I will go." Cheng Yao simply went all out, "Deng Ming used so many tricks behind his back, didn't you play into his hands if you didn't go? You made him cheap for nothing, making it seem like you were going to fight without a fight." It’s like a failure, and it’s got so many bad reputations.”
"I don't care about fame."
"I know you don't care." Cheng Yao took a deep breath, her face was tigerish, "But I do."
Qian Heng seemed to be stunned. After a while, he realized: "What? What did you just say?"
"I said I care." Cheng Yao held back the heat on his face and said solemnly, "You can barely be regarded as one of my suitors now, and being pursued by a suitor with such a bad reputation makes me lose face. "
This time, Qian Heng's reaction was quick: "One? Who else besides me? Gu Beiqing? Is there someone else? If you use 'one', there are at least three or more..."
My friend, can you focus on the key points first? !
"You have to continue to record at night." Cheng Yao had to turn back to the topic, "I don't want to see people with a face like Deng Ming continue to go on for fame, I want to watch you in front of so many audiences. He beat everything to pieces."
"Cheng Yao, I can't go."
"why?!"
"Deng Ming called me."
"what?"
Qian Heng paused for a moment, his voice was calm and calm, but the content made Cheng Yao's heart explode—
"Deng Ming said that if I insist on continuing to participate in the recording tonight, he will retaliate against Cheng Xi, and will release more private information, photos, current work address of Cheng Xi, including her mobile phone number. You know, my country's privacy protection has always been poor. Even if it is leaked, it is not only difficult to pursue accountability and rights protection, but also a very long process. I know that Cheng Xi was hit hard after divorcing Deng Ming. I heard Wu Jun said that he was a little depressed at one time, but now he is in better condition, if Deng Ming acts like this this time, I am afraid that Cheng Xi will suffer a lot."
Cheng Yao's heart was full of anger, but Deng Ming acted so shamelessly: "Where did he get the confidence to think that taking Cheng Xi could threaten you? Qian Heng, don't worry about it..."
"Cheng Yao, he knows that I like you." Qian Heng was quiet for a moment before adding, "I like you very much, so much that I can change my principles for you."
"Cheng Xi is your older sister, I can't ignore it, I don't want you to be hurt, and I don't want your family to be hurt." Qian Heng's voice was still faint, "As for my own reputation, I don't rely on it to get my reputation. Received the case, not to mention that I have long been a cancer in the industry?"
"You are not, Deng Mingcai." Cheng Yao's heart is full of determination: "Qian Heng, go to participate, to justify yourself, to justify our profession as a lawyer, to tell the world what is a real professional lawyers, what is professionalism?"
Qian Heng's voice pondered for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Cheng Xi..."
"Qian Heng, I don't need your protection. I will protect my family. I don't want you to sacrifice yourself to protect me. Be it Bai Xingmeng's case or Tang Bing's, you are protecting me." Reciprocity, so this time, let me protect you." Cheng Yao's voice was smiling, firm and decisive, "Please beat Deng Ming fiercely in the show, so that he will never think of variety shows in his life. The show not only dares not to show off anymore, but also has a psychological shadow that cannot be removed forever."
"As for the rest, I got your back."
Qian Heng doesn't want her family members to be hurt, Cheng Yao doesn't want Qian Heng to be hurt because of this, being strong doesn't mean she should bear more pressure, she doesn't want Qian Heng to bear this misunderstood name, even more I don't want him to be criticized for being gutless because of his withdrawal tonight. Regarding Cheng Xi's matter, she already had a solution in her heart, and she only needed to get Cheng Xi's consent.
After hanging up Qian Heng's call, Cheng Yao took a deep breath and called her sister Cheng Xi.
"sister… "
Cheng Xi interrupted her first: "Yaoyao, I was just looking for you." She paused, but her voice was firm, "I'm going to sue Deng Ming."
Cheng Yao was stunned for a moment, and then she was greatly excited and surprised: "Sister!"
Cheng Xi's decision coincides with her own plan!
"I saw a black post on the Internet." Cheng Xi's voice was lightly mocking, "To Deng Ming, my ex-wife is really a brick, and I need to move it wherever."
"Sister, I'm sorry, it's because of me that Deng Ming suddenly pulled you out again this time..." Cheng Yao didn't know how to explain, "How should I put it, recently there was a legal variety show called "Lawyers Come to Debate", Deng Ming participated, and then I, no, only Qian Heng... "
"Yaoyao, I watched "Lawyers Come to Debate." Cheng Xi interrupted Cheng Yao, "I also know who Qian Heng is."
Now Cheng Yao was a little surprised: "I thought you wouldn't watch the variety shows that Deng Ming participated in."
For the first time in his life, when Cheng Xi talked about Deng Ming, his tone was not oppressive and evasive, but relaxed and conciliatory: "I don't know how to read anything else, but how can I miss the one that frustrates him and slaps him in the face?"
After divorcing Deng Ming, Cheng Xi has not been able to come out for a long time. It is not that she has no more love for Deng Ming, but that Cheng Xi's belief in love and marriage has been completely shattered by Deng Ming. The first love on campus, the one he has devoted to for many years, can be so cold-blooded and ruthless. Because of this, Cheng Xi almost loses interest in meeting strangers and almost loses the ability to communicate with outsiders.
She is beautiful and gentle. After the divorce, it was not that no one pursued her. It was just that for a long time after the divorce, it was difficult for her to recover from her injuries, and she was even a little depressed. She resigned and traveled for a while under Cheng Yao's persuasion. , and finally gradually returned to normal. However, Cheng Yao knew that although Cheng Xi seemed to be talking and laughing on the surface, she did not really come out.
"I am very, very grateful to Qian Heng." At this moment, Cheng Xi was talking about Deng Ming in a calm voice, "Watching him slowly tearing off Deng Ming's disguise in the eyes of everyone, I feel very happy and happy, and I also feel very grateful. He did for me things I dared not do."
"This is the first time I have taken the initiative to pay attention to Deng Ming's information." Cheng Xi smiled lightly, "Although the divorce has passed for a long time, but before that, I can't say that I have come out. Because for Deng Ming I evaded all the information. Even though I was slandered by Deng Ming to such an extent during the divorce, I subconsciously avoided to face it, so no matter how much you encourage me, I don’t want to sue, because I just hope that things will follow Time has passed." Cheng Xi paused, "Deng Ming is a wound in my life, even though I knew there was pus and blood, I was too afraid of the pain, too scared, so scared that even if I knew it, I could only respond positively to him It takes a while to heal, and I don’t want to tear open the wound and debride the wound.”
This was the first time that Cheng Xi confessed her heart to Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao held the mobile phone, how much she felt sorry for her sister, and how much she hated Deng Ming. Such a good Cheng Xi, why should he be hurt so repeatedly by him
"But now I don't want to do this anymore." Cheng Xi's voice was firm, "There are some things that cannot be avoided forever. I don't want others to be protecting me or fighting for me. I should stand up and fight back. Otherwise It's unfair to you, it's unfair to Qian Heng, and it's even more unfair to my boyfriend who is silently guarding me now. I've been cowarding for so many years, and it's time to stand up and make a decision with the past, and say goodbye."
While Cheng Yao was excited for Cheng Xi, she was also attracted by another matter. She said in astonishment, "Boyfriend? Sister? Have you got a boyfriend?"
Cheng Xi calmly dropped a heavy bomb: "Well, I'm with Wu Jun."
Wu Jun? ?
Sister and Wu Jun are together? ?
Before Cheng Yao finished being surprised, Cheng Xi gave her a second stimulus, and she said calmly, "I also found out about you and Qian Heng recently."
Cheng Yao bit her lip: "It's broken."
"Then why did you still call me because of Qian Heng?"
"I didn't do it for Qian Heng!"
Cheng Xi smiled gently and insightfully: "You want me to fight back, and hope that Qian Heng won't back the name. You care about him, and you care about him as much as you care about me."
Cheng Yao almost became angry from embarrassment: "Sister!"
"Okay, let's get down to business." Cheng Xi finally stopped teasing Cheng Yao, she paused, "I want to leave the matter of suing Deng Ming to you."
Cheng Yao was excited and excited: "I've wanted to sue him for a long time! Now I'm going to sort out the materials and collect evidence! But in addition to litigation, we can't take advantage of him at the level of public opinion! We have to fight back in terms of public opinion!"
"Well, leave this to Jun Wu, he has a lot of contacts in the media circle."
Cheng Yao nodded vigorously.
For the first time, the pair of sisters did not chat on the phone, but discussed the litigation plan rigorously and seriously. After all, Cheng Xi is a talented student who graduated from the Law School of T University. He really devoted himself to legal analysis, and the ideas he proposed are also remarkable. .
A good lawyer should not use public opinion to influence the judgment, but when faced with the opponent's lawyer trying to use public opinion to lead the rhythm, he should not sit still and fight head-on. Law and public opinion do not necessarily contradict each other. Cheng Yao believes that as long as the law is reasonably resorted to and comprehensive facts are given before the public opinion, without bias or distortion, then the public opinion may not necessarily cause a healthy promotion of the law after the facts are truly frankly restored.
It is easy for the public to believe lies in the face of the edited "truth". At this time, it is even more necessary for someone to stand up and make a comprehensive clarification.
But before hanging up the phone, Cheng Yao finally confirmed again: "Sister, have you really thought about it? Although we can also clarify Deng Ming's lies from public opinion, the reason why public opinion is public opinion is because it is too diverse. , even if most people support you after knowing the truth, there will always be a small number of people who will not wake up, will attack you, and continue to yell and scold you... Even because of the unprecedented discussion this time, this time after we release the fact clarification , you will be more on the cusp than when you divorced Deng Ming before, and you will continue to be paid attention to. The peaceful life you want may not be realized in a short time... So sister, have you really decided?"
"Yaoyao, I can't let you protect me all the time and let you all take into account my emotions." Cheng Xi didn't hesitate at all, "I know that Deng Ming threatened Qian Heng to let him quit the program group. For you, he can Aiwujiwu is so much that even I want to protect it together, regardless of the insults and reputation that will be faced by quitting the program group, I insist on quitting, why can't I? You love him, want to protect him, I love you, and I will love you The person I love, how can I see him face such a predicament?"
After hanging up Cheng Xi's call, Cheng Yao's heart was still surging and excited, her cheeks were still hot, this feeling of fighting with Cheng Xi was really great. Even if there have been quarrels, conflicts, and quarrels between relatives, there is a magic power in blood that allows each other to become a force. I protect you, and you care about me.
She had a delicate relationship with Cheng Xi because of the unintentional comparison between her parents, but they will always be sisters. forever.
