Xu Jun's body was found by sanitation workers in the greenery at five o'clock in the morning. He jumped from the high-rise of his expensive apartment building and ended his life.
However, public opinion began to ferment hours before the discovery of his body.
Because Xu Jun posted a long Weibo on Weibo before he died.
This is a last letter. Xu Jun expounded his despair and pain in his long Weibo.
On the eve of the IPO, the company that he founded with one hand encountered a lawsuit from his ex-wife, and there was no way to reconcile. Half his life's hard work was ruined; his marriage with his ex-wife was also criticized by the public, and his image was completely distorted. The revelations smeared him all over the Internet with wrong facts, and his reputation dropped to the lowest point. Many friends even doubted his character; and the last straw that crushed him was when he arrived in New York In terms of news, someone informed his investors of the potential lawsuit that could not be settled, and some investors asked to withdraw their funds one after another, and switched to his competitor, Kanxun TV, which is also applying for listing; Tuantuan Online listed There is no way to watch news TV, but the journey is smooth...
"Did you see it? I just ate a melon yesterday and said that Xu Jun and Bai Xingmeng were really married, but before the melon was digested, I saw Xu Jun sent a suicide note."
"Yeah, yesterday the whole network scolded Xu Jun as a scumbag, but now Xu Jun is dead, implying between the lines that Bai Xingmeng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, saying that he has encountered Bai Xingmeng's fraudulent marriage..."
Early in the morning, while waiting for the subway, Cheng Yao heard girls gossiping around her.
In Xu Jun's statement before he died, he claimed that he was the victim. When they got married, it was Bai Xingmeng's scheming approach and calculations, and it was her disguise.
I am obsessed with my career, and I have never been in love before. Before marriage, Bai Xingmeng was gentle, virtuous, generous and sensible. Xu Jun fell in love all of a sudden, but he did not expect that after marriage, Bai Xingmeng changed into a different person, hysterical and paranoid...
Since then, one wrong step, one step at a time.
When Cheng Yao arrived at the institute, she was still emotionally immersed in the shock of Xu Jun's suicide and did not recover. Shock and anxiety were mixed in her heart.
Naturally, Xu Jun accused Bai Xingmeng of saying nothing on Weibo, it could be a fabricated and false accusation, he was throwing dirty water on Bai Xingmeng in order to save his reputation, or he was angry at Bai Xingmeng because of the hopelessness of going public Because of the cuteness, I don't want to make her feel better after I die.
But for some reason, Cheng Yao always felt that there was something wrong. She thought of Bai Xingmeng, who was always weak and helpless, and Xu Jun, who was full of enthusiasm and eloquence. thing
In any case, Xu Jun died. Such a price is too tragic for a case of property division after divorce.
She thought of what she said to Xu Jun yesterday, and she felt very uneasy. How much pressure did Xu Jun feel in his heart at that time? Did I aggravate his despair
The Internet is now in chaos, some clapping their hands and saying "Heaven is good for reincarnation, the scumbag deserves it", and some regret it. After Xu Jun's death, more people began to accuse Bai Xingmeng of being aggressive and completely unwilling to reconcile, which led to his death Ex-husband's.
Cheng Yao took a glance, Bai Xingmeng's Weibo had almost fallen, and there were all kinds of vulgar swearing methods, it was simply unsightly...
The whole morning, Cheng Yao was in a state of panic all day long. She called Bai Xingmeng, but the other party didn't answer.
"Cheng Yao, come and see!"
Just when Cheng Yao was thinking wildly, Tan Ying stopped her: "Bai Xing has made a statement!"
"I hope she will not be affected by these remarks on the Internet."
"You are stupid, you are still worried about her at this time!" Tan Ying's voice was very anxious, "Do you know that in her statement, she blamed the lawyer and us Junheng!"
Cheng Yao was a little stunned: "Let me see."
The whole statement is not that complicated, but Cheng Yao felt dizzy and her fingers trembled after reading it.
Bai Xingmeng's lawyer's statement was sent to Dulwich Law Firm—
"In this incident, Ms. Bai Xingmeng sued Mr. Xu Jun for the case of re-division of property after divorce. It is Ms. Bai Xingmeng's protection of her legal rights and interests in common property in marriage. Ms. Bai Xingmeng is based on the principle that breaking up is also a friend, and does not Rejected reconciliation with Mr. Xu Jun. Because he trusted professionals, the communication with Mr. Xu Jun was fully delegated to the lawyers of Junheng Law Firm, and he never communicated directly with Mr. Xu Jun. Because the lawyers neglected to inform, Ms. Bai Xingmeng had no right to communicate with Mr. Xu Jun Mr. Xu had sought face-to-face communication with him many times before he was alive, and he did not know about it, and he is deeply saddened by the tragedy caused by Mr. Xu Jun."
…
"For Mr. Xu Jun's false accusations on Weibo, in the spirit of humanitarianism, Ms. Bai Xingmeng will not sue. However, in response to the distortion, fabrication, defamation, and rumors of some media, self-media, and marketing accounts, we will Pursue legal responsibility in accordance with the law."
…
"As the lawyers of Junheng Law Firm are negligent in performing their duties, we hereby declare to terminate the agency agreement and reserve the right to pursue legal responsibilities. All future related legal matters will be handed over to Dulwich Law Firm Deng Ming... "
If Cheng Yao could barely hold on seeing this, then the word "Deng Ming" at the end of this lawyer's statement made her feel as if she had been pushed into an abyss.
This statement was actually issued by Deng Ming.
When Cheng Yao entered the legal circle, she had two goals. The first was to become a conscientious and warm industry elite, and the second was to defeat Deng Ming in court and expose his hypocritical mask.
But now, she thinks that she is thinking of her clients and blocking Xu Jun's humane behavior of "harassing" for Bai Xingmeng. Instead, it becomes evidence that she was bitten back by Bai Xingmeng, accused of not being professional enough, and finally slapped in the face by Deng Ming's statement.
—
Because of this statement, the Internet has been fried again.
The flames of war spread all the way from Bai Xingmeng. In Bai Xingmeng's statement, the focus of the contradiction was directed at Jun Heng. With her influence and the enthusiasm of Xu Jun's suicide incident, it was out of control after that. Bai Xingmeng's fans, Together with some Internet mobs who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, they started another feast.
The official Weibo of Junheng Law Firm has almost fallen. @问题 is growing like crazy, full of abusive and cursing messages and private messages.
The message area of Junheng's official website is also full of attacks. Even several partners and senior lawyer colleagues who have disclosed their resumes and photos on the website have been dragged into the water. People are constantly guessing who is Bai Xingmeng's host lawyer , commenting on the appearance of each lawyer, showing no respect.
Cheng Yao didn't know how she spent the past few hours. She logged into the official Weibo, and every few seconds, the screen of the phone would light up, and a new comment cursing the law firm would light up the screen.
When Cheng Yao received the call from Qian Heng, she was almost in a daze.
Because he was on a business trip, Qian Heng didn't notice Bai Xingmeng's behavior in the first place, but what should come will always come.
Cheng Yao clenched her lips, endured her inner emotions, and was ready to be scolded or even fired by Qian Heng.
However, to her surprise, Qian Heng didn't criticize her, but simply said a statement: "My business trip will end early, and you are at the airport now. You don't need to do anything until I come back."
—
Three hours later, Qian Heng entered Junheng in a hurry.
"Cheng Yao, come to my office."
Cheng Yao suffered for a full three hours, and now seeing Qian Heng, she felt the urge to cry.
"Tell me, what's going on."
Cheng Yao stuttered and finally explained the ins and outs clearly.
"I didn't hinder Xu Jun and Bai Xingmeng from meeting. It was Bai Xingmeng's own intention. I thought I was just helping the client. I thought her marriage was too hard. I just wanted to do something for her."
"I reminded you to stay away from your client." Qian Heng's voice did not have much emotional ups and downs, "A lawyer is a profession, and a client is just your client. Heart and lungs, not everyone eats offal."
…
At such a time, Qian Heng is still telling cold jokes in a serious manner!
However, Cheng Yao's mood, which was so heavy that she was close to apologizing to death, did calm down a little because of Qian Heng's words.
But for the mistakes she made, Cheng Yao still decided to take responsibility: "I'm sorry, boss, for discrediting Jun Heng." She bit her lips tightly, "If you don't want to see me again, I will resign immediately."
Qian Heng said expressionlessly: "Resign? You are dreaming."
?
"You made such a mess, and in the end you want to resign and slap your ass and leave?"
Cheng Yao could hardly lift her head: "I will compensate for the losses caused. I am also willing to stand up and issue a statement, clearing Junheng of responsibility and accepting my own fault."
"Oh, can you afford it?"
"..."
"Then, what should I do then?" Cheng Yao faced Qian Heng's gaze and asked bravely, "Boss, give me some instructions."
Qian Heng looked at Cheng Yao meaningfully: "What do you think?"
There was a silence...
Cheng Yao took a few deep breaths, and made a lot of mental construction in her mind, and then she finally mustered up the courage to go all out and said, "Boss, I am willing!"
Qian Heng was stunned: "What do you want?"
"I am willing to be an ox or a horse, with... body, no title!"
"Cheng Yao, how much hatred do I have with you? Or, how much do you misunderstand my taste?"
"..."
This time I did something wrong, Cheng Yao thought, Qian Heng can do whatever he wants to hurt herself, but she just continued to apologize seriously: "It was because of my unprofessionalism that Bai Xingmeng found an excuse to terminate the contract with Junheng, which led to this The failure to receive the legal fee also affected the reputation of the law firm, and eventually the matter evolved to such an unmanageable point.”
Qian Heng was noncommittal, his face was cold and handsome, obviously very distant, but at this moment Cheng Yao felt at ease.
Qian Heng has such a strength, as if there is nothing in this world that he cannot handle. As long as he's around, things are fine.
It is like the existence of the back-and-forth clauses in the law. No matter how many other clauses are not included, difficult to cover, or unpredictable situations, as long as there are back-and-forth clauses, the ever-changing situations can continue to be kept within the legal fence Stable and orderly operation.
This man is handsome, and as sharp and powerful as his handsomeness.
Faced with such an unpleasant scene, Qian Heng did not feel embarrassed at all, nor did he show any signs of anger or venting his anger. He had a calmness that was almost terrifying.
"You say it's because you're unprofessional, so you should give me a summary. In this case, where are you unprofessional? Where are you wrong?"
"First, you didn't listen to the boss's teachings and kept a distance from the client; second, you shouldn't contact the other party alone without the boss's permission, even if it doesn't involve the handling plan of the case; third, you shouldn't act emotionally, and your work is not enough Reasonable and neutral."
"Gone?"
Cheng Yao thought about it for a while, and she continued to say: "There shouldn't be such a good boss and cause trouble..."
"anything else?"
"Dogs shouldn't be kept."
"Oh, go ahead."
Although she saw that Qian Heng was looking for faults, Cheng Yao could only bite the bullet and continue: "You shouldn't be late, this is disrespect for work! It's treason! It's a waste of the boss's salary! It's a crime!"
Qian Heng pursed his thin and beautiful lips, and he looked at Cheng Yao quietly for a few minutes before opening his mouth.
"Cheng Yao, you said that everything you did was ordered by Bai Xingmeng. I doubt it. Was it really not your decision?"
Cheng Yao was very surprised: "Do you not believe me?"
"Well, I don't believe it." Qian Heng's tone was cold, "You know that there are many lawyers who have selfish motives in handling cases and eat up the plaintiff and the defendant. Jun, take this opportunity to ask the other party for a favor fee, and promise to facilitate a meeting and reconciliation after getting the money. It was a plan to have the best of both worlds without anyone noticing, but it's a pity that Xu Jun's psychological endurance is too poor, and you made a wrong calculation. I didn't expect him to commit suicide directly gone."
"I didn't! I really didn't try to collect a penny from it." Cheng Yao's face was pale. She was able to grit her teeth and persist after being attacked by everyone on the Internet. However, when faced with Qian Heng's doubts and denials, she felt that her strong shell would soon It's about to crack.
She never seemed to have imagined that Qian Heng didn't believe her.
"I swear on my reputation, I, Cheng Yao, never did, and will never do such a thing!"
"When every marriage is married, the bride and groom will swear that no matter poverty or disease, only death will separate them. But when they get divorced, no one will remember the original vow." Qian Heng's voice was cold and heartless, "I don't want Listen to the oath and show the evidence."
"You said that you directly negotiated with Xu Jun and did not allow him to see the other party according to Bai Xingmeng's request. Do you have any written evidence for this? When Bai Xingmeng explained to you, did you have emails or text messages with you?"
"No, she told me verbally."
"So did you record it?"
Cheng Yao bit her lip and shook her head.
It was only now that Cheng Yao realized that she did not leave any evidence behind. Facing Bai Xingmeng's accusation, what would she use to refute it? Faced with Qian Heng's doubts, what would she use to clarify
She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, trying to hide the sour tears that were about to well up.
Until now, her grievance and embarrassment from being cursed and insulted by others, her shame and pain at her childish behavior, as well as her bewilderment and helplessness about her career, many, many emotions flooded her like a tsunami, making her unable to breathe.
At this time, Cheng Yao realized how ignorant she was to be complacent when she found clues to hidden property before. She was too far away from becoming a qualified lawyer.
However, just when she thought that Qian Heng was going to be in full sarcastic mode, she only saw his white and slender hands and the tissues on them.
"Cheng Yao, I want you to keep a distance from your clients. It's not because I'm afraid you'll mess up the case, but I hope you know how to protect yourself. Lawyers also have their own professional risks. Enthusiasm and kindness alone are not enough. There are many public welfare The human rights lawyer finally had his license revoked and Wei went to jail."
"As a lawyer, you have to learn to identify which clients are at risk, keep these risks within a controllable range, and keep the evidence in the process of representation. You are a lawyer, and you have to know where the legal boundaries are. How to operate is safe."
Qian Heng's voice was still cold as always, but Cheng Yao felt that he was gentler than ever.
"I believe in you," he said.
"There is one more thing I want to correct you. I will charge Bai Xingmeng's legal fee for every penny." Qian Heng pursed his lips lightly. In Qian Heng's dictionary, there is no such thing as a case that has developed to the point of being out of hand, and there will never be something that I can't handle."
