As soon as Dong Min was sent away, Cheng Yao hurriedly called Dong Shan.
There is a shareholder meeting in Dongshan Company, and Cheng Yao doesn't mind: "Then I will come to the company to wait for you, and I will have a brief chat with you after the meeting is over."
Cheng Yao patiently waited for an hour in the Zhenwei Catering Group, and finally got Dong Shan's interview.
"Lawyer Cheng, didn't you just meet? Why do you want to meet again?"
Although Dong Shan's attitude was still amiable, the faint dissatisfaction in his tone was still revealed.
Cheng Yao told herself inwardly that she must be more cautious next time, and communicate everything clearly in one meeting. A lawyer's time is valuable, but so is the client's time. No one wants to communicate for a pre-litigation , I have to go back and forth several times, which is not only troublesome, but also makes the lawyer seem particularly careless and unprofessional.
"Mr. Dong, I want to reconfirm with you. If Ms. Jiang is willing to take care of this child, will you withdraw the divorce lawsuit?"
"Didn't I already answer you?"
"I need to know your true answer." Facing Dong Shan's questioning, Cheng Yao insisted, "I am your lawyer, don't worry about how I will judge your decision in other ways, I will only use the law Eyes judges for you and safeguards your legitimate rights and interests."
Dong Shan began to talk about him and said: "Actually, your question is meaningless. I know Wenxiu. She can't be willing to raise her. She won't agree to reconciliation. We still have to divorce in the end. Someone who doesn't play sand, has a bad temper, and can't possibly agree to raise a son born to someone else and me... "
"Then what if she is willing?" Cheng Yao stared into Dong Shan's eyes, "You know how difficult it is to get a divorce now, as long as one party in the divorce is unwilling to divorce, there is nothing special about both parties, such as gambling, drug use, etc. In an excessive situation, the first trial basically judged not to grant a divorce based on the fact that the relationship has not yet broken down. Once the judgment is made in this way, if there are no new circumstances or new reasons, the lawsuit can be filed again after six months." At this point, Cheng Yao paused, "What's more, according to the current purpose, the purpose of the judge of the marriage court is to help the parties to mediate and reconcile. In a situation like yours, you have a relationship with Ms. Jiang. If Ms. Jiang is willing to give in and take over the child, follow-up procedures can also be done. Slowly implement it, then are you still divorced?"
Dong Shan's eyes dodged a little.
"As your attorney, I need to know your attitude towards this, so that I can work hard to achieve your goals during the pre-court mediation. If you want to reconcile, then we will naturally work in this direction. Communicate in this direction; but if you want a divorce, then our countermeasures are completely different." Cheng Yao persuasively said, "As your attorney, our interests are the same as yours, I hope you can trust me. "
"Only if we communicate with each other candidly, can I get you the result you want most. For example, if you want a divorce no matter what, then I will do my best to communicate with Ms. Jiang Wenxiu before suing to see if it is still acceptable If there is any possibility of divorce by agreement, if possible, then we will withdraw the lawsuit directly and go for divorce by agreement. We are responsible for helping you to check the divorce agreement. If divorce cannot be agreed, then we will go through the normal litigation process and strive to let you You can get a divorce judgment at the first instance, and then we tried to communicate with Ms. Jiang Wenxiu to let her accept the judgment as much as possible and give up the appeal.”
What he said was both reasonable and reasonable, and neither humble nor overbearing.
Dong Shan was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and finally sighed: "I want a divorce."
He finally spoke the truth.
"I know you might look down on me in your heart, but I really don't have any feelings for Wenxiu anymore. After decades of support, I am not a heartless person. I also know how to be moved and repay a favor, but being moved and repaying a favor is not love. Between Wenxiu and I, there is only family affection left, like left hand touching right hand, living with her, I can no longer feel the passion at all, just living so plainly day after day."
Dong Shan looked out the window: "If I hadn't met Xiaomei, I might have lived like this forever. After all, life is ordinary, but there is no shortage of money, and I have a daughter. I am healthy and happy. There is nothing wrong with it."
Cheng Yao silently listened to Dong Shan's confession.
"It wasn't until I met Xiaomei that I realized that there is another way to live in life, that I can still live such a delicious life. With her, we are no longer talking about boring oil all day long. Salt sauce vinegar or have you eaten, have you drank water, etc., we can talk about hobbies, surfing, travel, and constellations, and we can talk about these all night without getting sleepy. I am fifty-three this year , but with Xiaomei, I feel like I am twenty years younger. I feel that I am looking forward to tomorrow every day, and I have endless energy every day. I feel like I have regained my youth. She is like my sun. Same." Dong Shan, whose tone was a bit embarrassing and depressed just now, when he mentioned his little beauty, even his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be eloquent.
The old man meets the second spring again, and the crackling fire is getting hotter and hotter. It can't be stopped at all. It is indeed a textbook template.
But, has Dong Shan ever thought that his wife, who has become boring now, was also a girl who watched the stars and the moon with him when he was young, full of girlish feelings? Even in order to start a business together, you have suffered a lot
When the young Xiaomei met Dong Shan, Dong Shan already had wealth and social status, but when the young Jiang Wenxiu met him, he was just a poor boy.
Aging is unavoidable, but when either one of a couple desperately wants to go back to the past time, trying to regain their youth, and does not hesitate to hold on to those illusory feelings, the two cannot join hands and slowly become together. old.
"Later we had a child, and it was a boy again. I love Xiaomei and need a son to take over, so no matter what, I want to give Xiaomei and our unborn child a warm home." Dong Shan was completely enthralled by the authorities, his tone With undisguised longing and excitement, "So even if I leave the house, I have to hurry, before the child is born, to give Xiaomei a promise, to give her a wedding."
Hearing this, Cheng Yao couldn't bear it anymore: "You said that you are willing to make any compensation to Ms. Jiang for divorce, and even leave the house, but have you ever thought about whether Xiaomei thinks so? She is willing Don't want you to leave the house completely?"
Dong Shan was stunned for a moment, hearing Cheng Yao's implication, he almost immediately denied: "Xiaomei is not such a person, she is the most innocent girl I have ever seen, when we first met, she didn't know What do I do. She didn't want my money to be with me. We were very innocent before. I didn't expect to meet such a pure love when I was in my fifties. All she wanted was to be with me. I She doesn't care if she has money or not. The big deal is for her son, just start a business again. It's not like I didn't start a business from scratch, and I can always make a fortune for my son. I believe she will support me."
Men immersed in love, no matter how old they are, are so blind and so arrogant.
No matter how many billions he has, no matter how decisive he is in the business world, no matter how wise he is in the professional field, when it comes to love and desire, no matter who he is, he is just an ordinary man.
Cruel, yet true.
"I understand your appeal. We will try our best to fight for an early divorce with Ms. Jiang, and we do not rule out communicating and negotiating with Ms. Jiang to reach an agreement on divorce with a property division plan she is satisfied with."
Only then did Dong Shan heave a sigh of relief, this time his expression showed some sincere recognition and trust: "Thank you for becoming a lawyer."
—
On the way back to Junheng, Cheng Yao felt a little breathless, but she did not dare to let go of her tense mental state.
Only then did she realize what Qian Heng said.
At first, Cheng Yao thought that Qian Heng looked down on her, and felt that she couldn't even handle such a simple case as Dong Shan. Only now did she realize that his words were indeed sincere advice to Cheng Yao.
Cases can be divided into simple and complex, but they are not simple cases, so there are no traps. At any time, when dealing with a case, one should not have the idea of underestimating it.
Lawyers and clients have formed a community of interests in a principal-agent model in a very short period of time. However, it is even ugly and selfish for clients to express their inner thoughts to lawyers in such a short period of time. It is not an easy task to expose the true heart to another human being.
In particular, people have a tendency to beautify themselves. Even if Dong Shan knows in his heart that he has done something wrong, when expressing, all the words and descriptions will still unconsciously go in the direction of beautifying himself. Wash away the responsibility by yourself, so as to win the understanding and even comfort of others. Over time, you will alleviate your inner guilt in a disguised and distorted manner, and brainwash yourself. You really didn’t do anything wrong, or at least it wasn’t that big of a mistake.
What's more, an ordinary person like Dong Shan doesn't understand the law. He thinks that if he slightly blurs and whitewashes the facts, these small details will not affect the lawyer's work. However, in many cases, what kind of result a case can achieve and whether it can really meet the demands of the parties depends on these details that they consider unimportant.
Therefore, to be a lawyer, you must have the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the bottom line. What the client says, you have to double-check whether it is true, or even verify it yourself; if the client didn’t say it, you have to dig deeper to see if there are any missing clues.
Clients are not professional legal persons, so they don’t know which details are important and which are not, but mastering all the details and identifying the most important parts is exactly the purpose of their hiring a lawyer, and it is also the duty and value of a lawyer.
It was a simple case, but it taught Cheng Yao a lesson.
At this moment, on the subway back to the office, Cheng Yao couldn't help but torture herself.
If it was Qian Heng who came to communicate with Dong Shan today, would Dong Shan have confessed his true heart and situation from the very beginning
Qian Heng is not humane, and he is unwilling to talk about human relations with clients at all. However, his strong professional ability and elite aura make clients trust him involuntarily.
Therefore, although Bai Xingmeng did not talk about the details of the marriage with Qian Heng, she also clearly informed her own appeal - to give Xu Jun the hope of reconciliation, but she resolutely refused to reconcile, prolonging the front line, going through litigation procedures, and dragging down the other party's listing. .
But Dong Shan approached him directly, but failed to tell Cheng Yao his true inner appeal in the first place.
If I didn't find out later, if the judge mediates before the lawsuit, I really think that as long as Dong Shan can recognize his son, he will still have feelings for Jiang Wenxiu, so if he matches up in the direction of not divorcing, wouldn't he be completely with Dong Shan? Contrary to the intention
Just such a detail made Cheng Yao feel that she was really far away from Qian Heng.
Although Cheng Yao was a little frustrated without Qian Heng's trustworthy aura, she quickly cheered up again. A young lawyer doesn't start with the simplest cases, and accumulates experience from simple cases one by one. , to be able to extract the most basic facts in a complicated case, and become a well-known lawyer in the circle
She completely let go of her previous prejudices.
Whether it is a big case or a small case, they are all equal.
No matter how simple or unchallenging a case is, I have to face it with the attitude of handling a big case!
Cheng Yao cheered herself up. In martial arts novels, the ones who finally counterattack and become the protagonists are those who are not attractive and clean the toilet? !
Now that he has joined the Five Poisons Sect, he must work hard no matter what, at least become one of Qian Heng's guardians!
