Being selected into Qian Heng's team, Cheng Yao was once envied by the other newcomers. After all, the cases in Qian Heng's team have more targets and more weight, which is more representative. The resume is also very good, and although Qian Heng's boss is seriously ill, he has excellent professional ability. Being able to work with him, he has gained more training and growth.
However, this is only a glamorous appearance. Cheng Yao came out of the document printing room, looked at the other newcomers who were hard at work, and sighed. Although she followed Qian Heng, Qian Heng has not assigned a single case so far. For her, Bao Rui assigned some work to her, but all she was asked to do was printing documents, binding dossiers and other things without any technical content. Instead, it's better to distribute it to the newcomers of other partners. Cheng Yao sees that some of them are revising the prenuptial agreement, and some have already participated in the divorce case...
In line with Cheng Yao's mood, the weather outside today, the storm, and the typhoon actually diverted to City A. Fortunately, Cheng Yao went out early today and went to work at 9 o'clock. She arrived at the office at 8:30 and successfully escaped. A rainstorm.
Unfortunately, other colleagues were not so lucky. At 9:30, one after another, there were still people who hadn't arrived.
"Cheng Yao, come to my office."
Cheng Yao read the case file last night, and wanted to discuss it with Bao Rui, but unfortunately, instead of Bao Rui, Qian Heng came.
—
As soon as Cheng Yao entered the office, she decided to take the initiative to strike first.
"Boss, I want to participate in the case discussed before. I don't want to share. I just want to have a chance to learn from you."
"it is good."
Qian Heng sat behind the desk, reading the file without looking up.
that's it? ! What about the expected obstruction? so easy
"I, can I participate too?" Cheng Yao was pleasantly surprised to finally be able to fight without sitting on the bench, "Thank you boss! I know my efforts will definitely be seen by you! I will be more active..."
"I really didn't see it."
"Hey?"
Qian Heng finally raised his head, glanced at Cheng Yao, and said slowly: "I let you participate, don't feel good about yourself, your foundation is relatively poor in the firm, and you have little work experience. Before, you only worked in other law firms. I have been an intern for a year, and I have never independently handled a case, I just read the case file for a while last night, don't put money on your face and say that you have worked hard, okay?"
As long as he can participate in the case, Qian Heng can let himself call him dad, and it will be fine if he gets hurt a few words! !
"Okay, let's go out."
"Wait, what did you call me for?"
"Oh, just to let you participate in this case together."
Cheng Yao:! ! !
It turned out that he didn't mention it, and Qian Heng was also planning to take the initiative to let him participate in the case. Didn't he, even as sharp as him, see his potential at a glance? Think you are a malleable talent? !
"Take away the narcissistic expression on your face, and let you participate because Bao Rui slipped and sprained his leg on the way to work this morning."
Even so, Cheng Yao was still very excited: "It doesn't matter, I am also willing to be Bao Rui's spare tire!"
"No, Bao Rui didn't withdraw from the case. He can only come to work, but he will continue to follow up through email and phone calls."
"So I… "
"So don't force yourself to add drama, you can only be regarded as a jack if you die."
"..."
"Because of his leg injury, he couldn't go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to check the company files and equity status. You will do it for him." Qian Heng clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Also, I thank you on Bao Rui's behalf."
Cheng Yao scratched her head, and was about to say that colleagues should help each other, when Qian Heng smiled like an old fox and said—
"Thank you for taking the initiative to give up the share. Bao Rui doesn't need to give you another part of his own money." Qian Heng raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you just swear? As long as you can participate in this case, don't you want a share?"
"..."
"So according to your own strong request, it's settled, you go out."
—
Cheng Yao suffered from Qian Heng's side, but the excitement of being able to participate in the case was still there. After returning to her seat and receiving the case information and materials from Qian Heng, she immersed herself in research.
The detailed materials this time are not just the few sentences in the previous discussion of the case. Qian Heng's client is called Li Yan. Cheng Yao naturally doesn't know such a common name as Li Yan, but Li Yan's ex-husband is like thunder. It turned out to be Xu Jun, the founder of Tuantuan Online, a well-known literature and video website.
Cheng Yao often watches funny videos and novels on Tuantuan Online, but she knows more about Xu Jun not from the financial section, but from the entertainment section.
He once had a long-term scandal with his favorite actress, Bai Xingmeng, who plays Lingyao. During that time, Bai Xingmeng became popular and the hottest time, but soon the paparazzi broke the news about Bai Xingmeng And Xu Jun's love affair.
Tuantuan Online was still a small website back then, and it was brought to the public by this scandal all the way, giving it a sense of presence, while Bai Xingmeng and Xu Jun were constantly photographed shopping together hand in hand, making clay sculptures together, and traveling together... In the end, the two also acquiesced in their relationship half-heartedly.
However, after half a year of this love affair, the interaction between the two has decreased, and there is almost no chance to be in the same frame. Bai Xingmeng also had a new scandal with the popular boy group Xiao Xianrou, and the lace news with Xu Jun was finally gradually forgotten by people. .
Cheng Yao printed out all the materials that Qian Heng sent to her by email, and then calmed down to read them carefully. After reading through them, she found that Xu Jun had married this Li Yan three years ago. More than a year ago, they were all divorced! According to this time, when he and Bai Xingmeng had an affair, they were basically married! He concealed it!
Depend on! Scumbag! As a fan of Bai Xingmeng, Cheng Yao was immediately filled with righteous indignation. She flipped through the materials and secretly made up her mind to help the cheated ex-wife Li Yan get back what she deserved!
—
However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. A marriage case, even if it only lasted for less than a year, the various details involved are like a vast sea that can swallow people up. The materials sent by Qian Heng, plus Bao Rui's investigation of Xu Jun's several companies , Printed out, there are more than 300 pages of eloquence, and it is only preliminary information. Cheng Yao flipped through these materials, and the more she looked at them, the more confused her mind became.
She has never been in contact with a case involving so many facts. Li Yan is not a legal professional, so the materials provided are not very important. Often, after reading 20 pages of materials, only one page of useful information can be extracted. Yao also had the feeling that she fell into the sea but couldn't find any driftwood anywhere. She wanted to handle the case well, but it stumped her to sort out her thoughts from such a pile of materials.
There is more than enough heart but not enough strength.
This cognition hit Cheng Yao hard, and she finally understood why Qian Heng didn't let her participate in the case before, because her ability was really not qualified.
Cheng Yao only practiced in the previous law firm for one year, and just got her lawyer certificate, she jumped to Junheng, so it can be said that she has never practiced before, while Bao Rui has been working in Junheng for four years. , the gap here is really bigger than Cheng Yao imagined.
When she first got the materials, Cheng Yao was full of ambitions to show her skills, she refused the invitation of other colleagues in the institute to go out to lunch together, and insisted on reading the materials before eating, so at this moment, she could only feel depressed, Go out for food alone.
Not without suspicion.
Being a lawyer has never been so easy.
It took so much effort to pass the judicial examination nicknamed "The First Examination in the World", and it took hard work, but the income obtained in the early stage of practicing may be only a fraction of that of students in other industries.
Most young lawyers who are new to the workplace, in the first few years of practice, may have a meager basic salary of 1,000 yuan a month. The pressure is huge, but the lawyer industry is a high-risk, high-intensity, and highly competitive industry.
Just like raising Gu, every new lawyer is thrown into the vat like a Gu worm. Those with more poison eat less poison, and the strong eat the weak. You have to compete with those young lawyers who are at the same time as you, and you must To compete with those mature lawyers who have been practicing for a long time, those who can finally persist in this industry are those who have been tempered and tough enough.
And the cruelest thing about this industry is that it doesn't mean that you will succeed if you work hard enough.
Cheng Yao finally couldn't hold back, and she sent Qin Qin a WeChat message.
"Mourning! I feel that I can't survive the curse of changing careers within a year of practicing."
The mood was really low. After Cheng Yao finished posting this sentence, she also posted a series of crying emojis.
—
Qin Qin is also very busy on weekdays, so naturally he will not reply so quickly.
With her head drooping, Cheng Yao walked into a Japanese-style ramen shop under the office building with her head downcast.
She ordered tonkotsu ramen and sat down to eat it.
Because there are many office buildings and white-collar workers in this area, even if this order is made, the ramen shop's business is still very good. Cheng Yao is lucky, and after waiting for a minute, a table for four people is vacant.
It wasn't long after she sat down that someone sat on the empty seat opposite her table.
Cheng Yao, who was depressed, had no interest in raising her head at all, and just continued to eat ramen with hula la.
"Is it so delicious?"
It wasn't until Qian Heng's chilly voice sounded that Cheng Yao realized that the person sitting opposite her was her difficult boss.
Qian Heng had just finished his meeting with the client, so he came to eat at this time.
Facing Qian Heng's question, Cheng Yao subconsciously nodded.
At this moment, while eating at the same table, Cheng Yao felt that she should say something to avoid embarrassment, but before she could speak, someone stopped her.
"Cheng Yao?"
"Huh? Wu Chen?" Cheng Yao looked up, only to realize that the person calling to stop her was Wu Chen, a former high school classmate.
Wu Chen obviously just came to eat too: "Zhengchou has no place to sit, is there any space next to yours? If it's free, I'll just grab a table."
After Cheng Yao indicated that the seats were available, Wu Chen sat down. He was very interested in chatting before his face came, "I work at the nearby Minsheng Bank, how about you?"
"I work at Junheng Law Firm."
Wu Chen became interested: "Are you a lawyer?"
Cheng Yao nodded honestly: "Yes."
"Great, can I ask you a favor."
"Hey?"
"It's just that there is a leader in my bank. His mother went to a P2P wealth management business before and invested about two million in it. As a result, the P2P company has exploded. Going through the contract I signed at the beginning, I found that it was not a financial investment contract, but a health product purchase contract. This is obviously a lie to the elderly who don’t understand the contract and didn’t read it carefully! I want to ask how I can get the money back. You They are lawyers, can you tell me how they should protect their rights? My leader’s mother was hospitalized with anger, and my leader is also dying of anxiety…”
Facing this overwhelming problem, Cheng Yao was very embarrassed, this was the situation she was most afraid of encountering.
Laymen don't know the working mode of lawyers. They always feel that they can retell the "case" that has been transferred several times in a few words, and the lawyer can give a professional answer within ten seconds. They don't know that every lawyer's professional Those who specialize, such as Cheng Yao, she is good at marriage law and inheritance law, but she is ignorant of this kind of financial fraud.
Cheng Yao decided to tell the truth: "I actually don't know much about this field... I suggest that you ask your leader to consult a professional lawyer who is engaged in financial fraud."
"Why is your answer so 'official'?" Wu Chen smiled and said jokingly, "I just thought you were an old classmate, and I only asked you because I believed you. Your lawyers would not even ask you if there is no fee. Answer? In fact, it’s only a matter of two or three sentences, you can give me some opinions, and you are too mean.”
"If you go to the hospital with an upset stomach, what department do you get?"
Just as Cheng Yao was deliberating how to reply to Wu Chen, Qian Heng, who was sitting across from him without saying a word just now, raised his head, and accompanied by his movements, was his cold voice.
"Of course I'm in gastroenterology." After Wu Chen subconsciously answered, he was a little surprised, "Who are you?"
Qian Heng's expression was sarcasm: "It turns out that you know that your stomach is uncomfortable and you need to be referred to gastroenterology."
Wu Chen stared at Qian Heng as if he had seen a ghost.
"She said that she doesn't engage in financial fraud business, and you force her to give you legal advice, so why don't you go to an anorectal doctor to see you when you have a stomach problem?"
These words were so poisonous, Wu Chen's face turned red all of a sudden.
Qian Heng didn't make a move easily, and it would hurt someone. Regardless of Wu Chen's blue face, he continued: "Anorectal doctors don't diagnose patients with stomach problems. That's because they are responsible for their profession and patients, and it's the same in different legal fields. , Even if you go to see an anorectal doctor, you have to register, how about you, you don’t pay a penny, and you force others to give you advice?" Qian Heng pointed to Cheng Yao, "What sin did she do in her previous life, and she owed you what?"
Regarding Qian Heng's words, Wu Chen didn't have any power to resist at all. He could only hang his neck and say, "Who are you? You, I'm chatting with my old classmate. Why do you meddle in your own business?"
"Because I'm her boss." Qian Heng was very cold, "Because I spent money to buy her time. I don't allow her to waste time on people like you."
For some reason, Cheng Yao almost held her breath at this moment, her heart was beating violently, because of nervousness, surprise, and... exhilaration.
Since becoming a lawyer, this is not the first time Wu Chen has encountered such a thing, but Cheng Yao has never had the courage to refuse like Qian Heng.
In China, most people are not willing to pay for intangible things, such as intellectual property rights, such as professional consulting services of lawyers and accountants. Many people don't recognize the value of this kind of service, and they always feel that since they know each other, they just need to help out with this kind of verbal work, and what kind of money do they charge
"Free consultation? Are you ashamed to ask? Why don't you just generously ask Cheng Yao to drink Northwest Wind? Everyone thinks of free consultation like you, and the profession of lawyers will become extinct."
"In addition, her field of expertise is family law. When you want a divorce, you can go to her. As the boss, I allow her to give you a discount."
Wu Chen was now speechless to the one who was bullied, and before he could even show his face, he bit the bullet and awkwardly found an excuse for an impromptu meeting, and walked away in despair.
