"boss… "
Qian Heng was sitting at the desk, still not even raising his head: "There is a material delivered by Bai Xingmeng at the front desk, which is some clues to the joint property during the marriage that she sorted out by herself. You should study it first, and then put the valuable After classifying the materials, take a good look at the previous divorce judgments of Bai Xingmeng and Xu Jun, especially those involving property division. Bai Xingmeng will come over to meet us briefly in an hour to discuss the next step of the lawsuit. You are ready to go meeting room."
Hey
Cheng Yao originally had the idea that Qian Heng might retaliate against her, but when she entered his office, she didn't expect that Qian Heng didn't mention a word about what happened last night, and just arranged her work normally.
"Also, remember to make the list of evidence of Xu Jun's hidden property that we currently have."
Cheng Yao nodded, feeling very ashamed in her heart. It seemed that she really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. How could a man like Qian Heng, who has become a partner, care about a drunk newcomer.
The more she thought about it, the more Cheng Yao wanted to do some remedial measures. She glanced at Qian Heng's handsome profile, and asked Ying, "Boss, do you need coffee? I'll prepare it for you."
"No. Just do your job well. You don't need to make coffee."
"It doesn't matter. I used to prepare for other lawyers in the previous firm."
"I don't think that making coffee is part of the work of a female lawyer. You are here to work as a lawyer, not to do administrative work. I hope you don't think it's friendly to make coffee for colleagues or bosses. This is very unprofessional." Qian Heng finally raised his head this time, his voice was indifferent and his eyes were distant, but his tone was stern, "Do you think that some male lawyers are usually asked to make coffee for others? In the legal workplace , women and men are equal, there is no gender that is more suitable for auxiliary tasks such as making coffee, printing documents, copying and scanning, you remember that.”
Since graduation, Cheng Yao has been frequently dispatched to do these secretarial tasks, no matter in the internship unit or in the last law firm. To be honest, Cheng Yao resists subconsciously, and no one wants to read it. After four years of undergraduate law, he finally entered a law firm to do odd jobs.
She wanted to really get in touch with the case, but as time passed, the initial reluctance was smoothed by reality. It wasn't until Qian Heng mentioned this that Cheng Yao realized that she seemed to have acquiesced to this unspoken rule of the workplace without knowing it—girls have always been more difficult to get in touch with core jobs than boys.
"I'll tell Bao Rui, tell him not to leave these secretarial jobs to you."
Cheng Yao suddenly felt very grateful. Although Qian Heng had a bad temper and attitude, but as a man, Cheng Yao was in awe of him being able to say such words.
"Thanks… "
"Don't expect to pour me a cup of coffee to imply that I am a weak woman. It doesn't exist here. My principle has always been that men should be used as beasts and women should be used as men. When men are not enough, women can also Use it as a beast." Qian Heng smiled, "After all, in the new era, don't we all talk about women's rights? Preferential treatment for women is another kind of discrimination."
"..."
"If you're pouring me coffee because you want to make amends for what happened last night, that's fine."
Cheng Yao raised her head in surprise, wanting to thank Qian Heng for his generosity. However-
"That's not something that can be written off with a cup of coffee." Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao, "Since they are all owned by the same firm, I won't take the legal route, let's reconcile in private. I have already made a list of the direct economic losses caused He and the name have been sent to your mailbox, please check it."
Cheng Yao was shocked and said: "You mean, I have to pay you money?" She explained anxiously, "Boss, I was drunk last night, and I don't really remember what I did, I'm right I have lost control of my behavior, what I am going to do, I am really unconscious... "
"how old are you?"
"Huh? It's 23 years old."
Qian Heng pursed his lips: "Are you mentally ill? Intermittent is fine."
What's the problem? ? ? Cheng Yao said blankly, "No."
Qian Heng snorted coldly: "If you have reached the age of 18, you are not a mental patient who cannot recognize your own behavior. If you do not meet the definition of a person with limited capacity, you must be responsible for your actions. Drinking alcohol is not a legal obligation to evade responsibility. reason."
"..."
Qian Heng waved his hand: "Go out."
"..."
Just when Cheng Yao walked to the door, she heard her honorable boss add: "Read more when you have nothing to do, don't stare at other people's faces all day long."
kindness
"My 100% natural face, even if you look at it 10,000 times, you still won't see any signs of plastic surgery."
"..."
"Wait a moment."
Cheng Yao:
"Go downstairs."
"What's wrong?"
"Dong Min is here, help me lure her away, don't let her come to the office."
"..."
What a job.
Anyway, she was going to lose money no matter what, and Cheng Yao also went all out: "It's not what you said just now. In the legal workplace, what women should do is also those professional jobs, not these inexplicable irrelevant things..."
Qian Heng found a document on the table and threw it to Cheng Yao: "Then do something professional, this is a confidential document of the client, it is inconvenient to mail it, you will deliver it to the client in person, the address is not far away, It's in the office building opposite us." Qian Heng smiled, "Then just happened to lead Dong Min away along the way."
"..."
"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you leave quickly?"
"..."
—
Cheng Yao left Qian Heng's office to deliver confidential materials to clients, and wandered outside as a smoke bomb, successfully distracting Dong Min, Qian Heng's blind admirer, before returning to the office.
In grief and indignation, Cheng Yao opened the email and saw the compensation list that almost made her faint. In addition to the Bentley's car wash and cleaning fee, there was even compensation for Ermenegildo Zegna's custom-made suit jacket...
As a lawyer, Qian Heng carefully attached materials such as invoices or official website pricing to prove the actual value and cost of the loss after each list of loss estimates. Cheng Yao looked at the string of zeros behind the first digit of that suit, and felt dark in front of her eyes.
It's just going out for a dinner party, not a blind date, why wear such expensive clothes! ! ! ! This evil Qian Heng! This damn capitalism! This morally degraded society with a huge gap between the rich and the poor!
Cheng Yao turned grief and indignation into strength, and her work efficiency was so high that she quickly prepared all the preparatory work for the afternoon meeting.
For this meeting, Bai Xingmeng still arrived on time. Her agent was not accompanied, and she came alone today.
Qian Heng professionally presented her with the situation Jun Heng has investigated so far, and said straight to the point: "Now that we have a direction for Xu Jun's hidden property, we can file a lawsuit at any time, it depends on when you want."
Bai Xingmeng paused, and said in a decisive tone, "Prosecute immediately."
"There are still two months before the statute of limitations expires. In theory, as long as you file a lawsuit within these two months, you will be fine." Qian Heng took a sip of coffee, "But Xu Jun's Tuan Tuan Online is already in the listing process , it is likely to be successfully listed on Nasdaq in the next month. If you sue now, it will definitely disrupt his listing steps, because after the lawsuit, I will apply for equity freezing and preservation. Then once preservation and litigation occur, in the listing In the process, he will inevitably have to disclose this matter. The pending property re-division legal proceedings will be like a landmine buried in his company, and his investors are likely to re-evaluate the risks of the company, causing It will have a great negative impact, and may even affect the listing."
Bai Xingmeng's expression remained calm, she looked at Qian Heng quietly.
"If you are willing to wait, after that month, Tuantuan Online is successfully listed on NASDAQ. If you sue again, the property you can apply for division will directly double. That is to say, if you sue a month later, I will also Get several times the lawyer's fee." Qian Heng pursed his lips, with a serious and calm attitude, "But as a lawyer, I respect all the choices of my client and advance all the possibilities of legal measures we can currently take. Let me inform you that I hope you will make an informed decision that is in your best interest."
Logically speaking, this is a very attractive plan. After all, what Bai Xingmeng has to do is to stand still for a month. After one month, if Tuantuan Online is successfully listed, the money she can divide will be incomparable to what it is now. , and if Tuantuan Online is not listed after a month, it will not be too late to file a lawsuit.
However, Bai Xingmeng's answer surprised Cheng Yao——
Her attitude was firm: "I'm going to sue now."
"Okay." Qian Hengxi's words are like gold, and he doesn't have the curiosity of a normal person. He didn't ask a word, but turned to look at Cheng Yao, "Cheng Yao, I have a video conference later, after that you Check the list of evidence with Ms. Bai." Then he looked at Bai Xingmeng, "If Ms. Bai has anything to do, you can directly communicate with Lawyer Cheng, then I will excuse you first."
—
Cheng Yao was totally caught off guard by Qian Heng's arrangement. She has always been in a subordinate position when receiving clients, and she doesn't even need to speak. This is the first case involved in Junheng, and it is a very big case. However, at this moment, she must be alone People face the parties. The person involved is none other than Bai Xingmeng, the very popular Bai Xingmeng.
Fortunately, when Cheng Yao racked her brains to think about the topic, Bai Xingmeng spoke first.
"Lawyer Cheng, do you think I'm stupid?"
However, Bai Xingmeng's question caught Cheng Yao by surprise.
Fortunately, when Bai Xingmeng asked this question, she didn't expect Cheng Yao to give her an answer.
In many cases, in a marital dispute, apart from seeking legal help, the parties are also constantly looking for a window to confide in.
"Lawyer Cheng, can you chat with me? You are a girl, I believe you may understand my feelings better." Bai Xingmeng smiled apologetically, "I know it will waste your time, I am willing to follow your advice Rates pay, but today, I don't want to talk about cold laws, I just want to chat with you. I am a star, and I can't open up to anyone in the circle about these private matters."
Cheng Yao nodded, expressing her understanding. Since becoming a lawyer, she has indeed experienced many such things. It's ridiculous. Many clients, although they have close relatives and close friends in real life, never dare to share their inner emotions with their relatives and close friends. Instead, they only hire contractual lawyers. They are willing to let go of their guards and confide everything.
Compared with relatives and friends, they believe in the confidentiality clause in the business contract, and the huge liquidated damages for breach of the confidentiality contract make them more at ease.
Bai Xingmeng lowered her head: "Actually, this marriage really brought me a lot of pain. For him, I violated the agency contract and secretly married him within the contract period without authorization. I was retaliated by the company and paid a huge amount of liquidated damages." , was almost hidden in the snow, and his career was almost destroyed."
When Cheng Yao was chasing "Strategy of Lingyao", she had read about Bai Xingmeng's resume and gossip posts. It was true. She became famous overnight. When she was gaining momentum, she was suddenly hidden by the company. From 23 to 26 years old, she was wasted. It took four years, four years, it was the best youth for an ordinary girl, let alone a star.
Bai Xingmeng's tone was a bit self-deprecating: "Maybe girls will become stupid once they fall in love. In fact, now that I think about it, Xu Jun probably didn't like me from the beginning to the end. When I started dating him, his company was still small. It's not what it is now, I really like him, but what did I get in return? It was the endless scandals in those years."
"Is it because of your agency's problems that you can't disclose your relationship?"
"Heh, since I have the courage to marry him and directly violate the brokerage contract, am I afraid of making my relationship public?" Bai Xingmeng smiled, a little lonely, "He didn't want to make it public."
Cheng Yao was a little puzzled: "Why?"
"Because only half-covered scandals are more gimmicks." Bai Xingmeng smiled miserably, "I have always had a positive image since I started my career, and there have never been any scandals. I have been in the most dirty water in my life, because of the publicity problems of film and television dramas, and while cooperating with the male lead to make hype, I also have to take care of falling in love with him. The paparazzi found out, and criticized me as a hypocritical model who stepped on two boats. I At the time, I was wronged and puzzled, I did a good job of keeping the secrets secret, how did the paparazzi know? But now I know that these revelations were all provided by Xu Jun.”
Facing Cheng Yao's astonishment, Bai Xingmeng smiled wryly: "Lawyer Cheng, think about it, before Xu Jun and I had an affair, had you heard of the company Tuantuan Online?"
Cheng Yao thought for a while, shook her head, she really had no impression at all, she knew Tuantuan Online and Xu Jun purely because of the ups and downs scandals with Bai Xingmeng in those few years.
"But since we were together, Tuantuan Online has been known to everyone. When we were first revealed by the paparazzi to be in love, his Tuantuan Online had over one million users that day. This kind of scandal, the website traffic and the number of users are also increasing.”
In this way, it seems to be true. Cheng Yao remembered that the first time she registered on Tuan Tuan Online was because of the scandal between Bai Xingmeng and Xu Jun.
When Bai Xingmeng said this, he paused: "I would like to ask Lawyer Xia Cheng, are you a registered user of Tuantuan Online?"
"Um."
"Then under what circumstances did you register?"
Cheng Yao was a little embarrassed: "At that time, someone who broke the news claimed that Xu Jun secretly used the initials to show love to you on the homepage of his website. I was still in school at the time, so I was bored. Like other netizens, I went to Tuantuan Online I did a crowd-watching, and because of this crowd-watching, I unexpectedly discovered that Tuantuan Online is a well-made website, with complete functions, clean pages, and no messy advertisements. The literature site has a huge inventory of novels, and there are many reading modes to choose from. It’s very user-friendly. So I’ve become an old user of Tuantuan Online.”
Bai Xingmeng showed a clear expression to Cheng Yao's answer: "Yes, that's it. After that time, many people registered on his website and became loyal and regular users." The marriage broke down, but I have to say that Xu Jun is indeed a capable man, his website design and planning are really good, but... there are many talented men like him in the world, who can achieve their goals by any means like him Yes, but very few." Bai Xingmeng paused, "That revelation was planned by him alone."
Cheng Yao was completely shocked.
"There was no implicit love at all. It was completely a play he directed and acted. First, he deliberately changed the website page, and then he found a team to break the news and hyped it up." Bai Xingmeng's face was calm, but his voice However, he still trembled a little, "From the first day he met me, what he liked was my traffic. What he needed was my popularity to bring vitality to his website, and what he needed was the hype of scandals."
Bai Xingmeng laughed at herself: "Dating a female star is more effective than any advertisement. Netizens will quickly reveal his background, and he only needs to secretly push the flames. It's so economical and saves his money." The effect of corporate promotion and marketing expenses is invincible and magnified, because those who attract traffic are genuine consumers, the most active group of Internet users."
"He is the smartest marketing talent. He knows that entertaining and idolizing a company's leaders saves time and worry, and the effect is much better than directly promoting the company." Bai Xingmeng bit her lip, "I didn't know until later I want to understand, so this is the real purpose of him falling in love with me and marrying me."
