Because of Qian Heng's coquettish operation, everyone held back their laughter and looked at Cheng Yao sympathetically. Cheng Yao's face was bright purple and red, but fortunately she had long been accustomed to his operations under Qian Heng's torment, and she had the constitution to fight poison with poison for this kind of toxic behavior.
She rubbed her face and quickly regained her composure.
The next step was the traditional birthday party process. On behalf of all the colleagues in the law firm, the Administration Department ordered a cake for Qian Heng, and the one made by Cheng Yao himself. Everyone turned off the lights in the room, and a cake with " 2", "8" was inserted into a cake, and "28" candles were lit for Qian Heng, and a happy birthday song was sung for him.
The atmosphere is very warm, only the protagonist of the birthday party still has a grim face, which looks very good.
"Qian par! Make a wish!"
"The first wish at the age of twenty-eight! Go for one!"
Qian Heng pursed his lips, looked around the crowd in the law firm, and then saw Cheng Yao who was staring at the cake in the crowd, she seemed a little absent-minded.
"Make a wish, make a wish! Then blow out the candles!"
Under the urging of everyone, Qian Heng didn't have time to think about it, he subconsciously thought of his wish for this year - to handle the relationship with Cheng Yao well.
Then he blew out the candle.

This night, Qian Heng's life was very chaotic, always feeling like a roller coaster ride, while he was troubled by how to deal with Cheng Yao, and at the same time, he had to guard against Cheng Yao doing something outrageous to him in public.
Fortunately, in the end, Cheng Yao still chose to be prudent, and nothing happened. After sending her away, Qian Heng was relieved.
However, probably thinking about it day and night, Cheng Yao's gift box confession weighed heavily on Qian Heng's heart, and he had a nightmare that night. In the dream, Cheng Yao was wearing a lace little black dress, with red lips and white teeth, quite like the beautiful snake in the storybook. , her breath coiled around her, gently coaxing him—
"Boss, let someone give you a baby."
Early the next morning, Qian Heng looked at his dark circles in the mirror, feeling irritable and troubled.
Knowing that he should have fired her sooner, Qian Heng thought angrily, now it's all right, and the beauty of trouble has really begun to show its power.
—
Compared to Qian Heng's nightmares, Cheng Yao's life is very comfortable.
After the boss left, her living space and territory were further expanded. Although Qian Heng's room was still kept, the entire living room belonged to her. She could finally hang around in the living room in her pajamas at night. The floor heating has also been repaired, and it will no longer be too cold to sleep at night.
The next day, she went to Junheng early in the morning almost refreshed, and began to deal with Li Mengting's case.
Now that Li Mengting holds the loyalty agreement, she can just devote herself to finding evidence of Zhang Hao's cheating. It's just that Li Mengting's previous operation was a bit alarming. Cheng Yao tried many methods, but to no avail.
Asking Zhang Hao's colleagues and neighbors, and trying to collect third-party evidence to prove it, naturally failed. In modern society, whoever has nothing to do to participate in other people's family disputes, based on the principle that more matters are worse than less matters, everyone either prevaricates or does not know about Cheng Yao's evidence collection, or simply refuses indifferently.
Li Mengting cheered up completely, and gave her own suggestion: "Should I find someone to check the record of opening the house? I don't believe I can't find it!"
"Infringement of the right to privacy, even if they get the record of opening a house, it is illegal, and they may not register with two ID cards to open a house."
"Then find someone to follow, but don't take pictures, just follow them to open a room, confirm the room number, and then I rush in and catch the rape on the spot to collect evidence? Others can't catch the rape. As a legal wife, I can always catch the rape, right?"
As a result, Cheng Yao had to deny Li Mengting's proposal again: "No, unless Zhang Hao and her go to the room you rented to hang out, otherwise in the hotel, even if you are Zhang Hao's legal wife, rushing in and arresting adultery is also illegal evidence. ,Invasion of privacy."
"Then let's call 110 and report to the police that there are prostitutes and whores in that room, and let the police provide us with indirect confirmation of the evidence when enforcing the law. Is this legal?"
Cheng Yao was a little helpless: "It's illegal. And you will be detained administratively for reporting false police reports and false reports of the case."
"Then what to do?"
Cheng Yao thought for a while: "Don't worry, I'll think about it again."
Li Mengting listened to the comfort, and also smiled: "It's okay, I believe you, Yaoyao, you have really become very powerful now, although we both graduated from law school, it really makes a difference whether we have practiced it or not, if it weren't for you Tell me, I thought my methods of catching rape were clever and good."
Cheng Yao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized. Many schemes for arresting rape and obtaining evidence circulated among the people are not legal, and this is what she gradually learned from the case operations of other colleagues around her.
Sometimes when colleagues have lunch together, they will also chat about the case. As long as you listen carefully, you can actually filter out a lot of useful operations and knowledge points from the gossip. Before he knew it, Cheng Yao realized that he had accumulated a lot of knowledge that others thought was very professional.
—
It's just that in Li Mengting's case, Cheng Yao is still a little confused about where the breakthrough point for evidence collection is.
One day, when it was time to get off work, Cheng Yao packed up her things and sent Qian Heng a text message.
"Boss, see you at the restaurant later!"
The break-up meal, which was constantly postponed before, finally found time tonight, and I can eat it.
The restaurant was chosen by Qian Heng. This time, he chose a western restaurant. The environment is elegant, and the price is more elegant than the environment.
But Qian Heng paid the bill, Cheng Yao raised his hands and feet to express that he had no objection.
Because Qian Heng had an impromptu meeting, he arrived later than Cheng Yao, and Cheng Yao used this time to read a foreign case.
When Qian Heng came, she was still studying hard, so that she didn't react until Qian Heng called her.
Qian Heng coughed, and asked casually, as if he didn't care too much: "What case are you looking at?"
Cheng Yao didn't care either: "It's just a case of family affairs in the United States."
Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao's phone screen, he wished he hadn't seen it, but unfortunately his 2.0 eyesight didn't let him off easily.
"The woman had oral sex with her unmarried DINK boyfriend and spit out his sperm to conceive. Her boyfriend sued her for stealing sperm. The court held that the sperm in consensual sex was a gift, not theft..."
…
"Cheng Yao, don't let any messy crooked things affect your work."
Cheng Yao was about to put away her phone when she heard Qian Heng's serious voice. She looked up and saw Qian Heng staring at her with a dark face.
?
Cheng Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing that Qian Heng was talking about Li Mengting's case? Knowing that it is too difficult for me to collect evidence of infidelity recently, do you think you have to collect evidence illegally
She shook her head immediately: "Don't worry, boss, I will behave in a proper manner."
I just don't know why, even though he promised himself, Qian Heng still didn't seem to let go of his guard. During the whole dinner, he seemed very disobedient and unnatural, and he always felt very tense.
Maybe it's too much work pressure
Cheng Yao thought intimately, then let's talk about some personal topics with him, and don't mention work.
"After reporting our 'breakup' with my parents last time, my parents were afraid that I would not be able to get out of the shadow of 'broken love', so they wanted to introduce me to a new boyfriend, which made me laugh to death." Cheng Yao decided to use her own His personal experience is a good example to divert Qian Heng's attention.
This trick was really effective. Sure enough, after hearing this kind of gossip, Qian Heng, who seemed to despise all human beings just now, finally raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Yao. His voice slightly raised: "Do you want to go on a blind date?"
He frowned and said very seriously: "Cheng Yao, you can't let go of your relationship. It will be very painful to force yourself to go on a blind date. You don't have to do this."
Cheng Yao slandered in her heart, is blind date so bad? It's not like that, you have a good relationship even if you don't have a blind date? A blind date does not necessarily mean that you will not meet true love!
It's a pity that before Cheng Yao could refute, Qian Heng asked again, "And you forgot what you promised me?"
"what?"
Qian Heng stared at Cheng Yao and pursed his lips: "I said, don't think about dating or getting married in the past two years."
"No, no, no! I haven't forgotten!" Cheng Yao was afraid that Qian Heng would think that she had no ambition and would not teach her again, so she clarified almost immediately, and brought a wave of flattery by the way, "I remember, when I met the boss, you Before I was a better person, I wouldn’t have such an idea! You can rest assured! The blind date is just a formality, because his mother is my mother’s best friend, and he directly refuses to make him lose face. Even if I know each other, I am going to have a meal with him, just like having a meal with friends."
"And he is not bad, because he is still working in city B. Of course, I have to insist on being the host when I come to city A for this business trip. He is afraid that I will spend money, so he refuses to eat expensive restaurants, so I simply invite him to come home After eating, I just bought a lot of seafood at a discount."
After listening to the explanation, Qian Heng probably finally believed Cheng Yao. He didn't speak any more, and just as the main course was served, the two of them began to eat quietly.
"when?"
Just as Cheng Yao was trying to cut the steak with a knife and fork, Qian Heng's voice suddenly rang out.
Cheng Yao was stunned: "When and when?"
Qian Heng pursed his lips tightly. He looked away and looked at the decoration not far away: "You are on a blind date, oh no, when will you have dinner with that person?"
Before Cheng Yao could respond, Qian Heng added another sentence: "I'm thinking about the latest work arrangement, you tell me which night you will have dinner together, I won't arrange work for you and work overtime."
Oh oh oh! Cheng Yao said happily: "Thank you boss! We have an appointment for tomorrow night!"
"Oh."
As a result, Cheng Yao didn't bring up work, but Qian Heng took the initiative to bring it up. He cleared his throat again: "Is there any difficulty with Li Mengting's case?"
Speaking of work, Cheng Yao became more serious. She did have doubts about the evidence collection of this case, so she told Qian Heng about it.
Qian Heng didn't even blink his eyes: "It's very simple, do a phone notarization."
"Hey?"
"Go to the notary office, make an appointment, use the phone number of the notary office to call the other party under the witness of the notary, and guide the other party to tell the information about cheating, and that's it. Then just hand it over to the notary to issue a notarial certificate, legal Effective, convenient and quick."
Hey? Is it okay? !
If it wasn't for the banquet, Cheng Yao might really have to take out a small notebook to write it down.
"In addition to going directly to the notary office, there are mobile notarizations now. Some technology companies develop their own software APPs. By downloading their clients to make calls, the phone recordings can be directly uploaded to the backend of the software and cloud backup, and the backend and the cloud are backed up through some Technical means are connected to the technology center of the notary office, and after the user clicks to apply for notarization, the notary office can directly access the audio stored in the software cloud this time, and then issue a notarization certificate."
Cheng Yao put down the knife and fork, completely entered the learning mode, and asked studiously: "Then in comparison, it feels that this software mobile notarization is more efficient and convenient? Can you operate it yourself without going to the notary office?"
"Telephone notarization requires an appointment with a notary. Now the workload of notaries is generally heavy. If you don't have acquaintances, it is really inconvenient, especially if the case is urgent and the notarization needs to be done immediately." Qian Heng took a sip and was speechless. Alcoholic cocktails, "But mobile notarization is a new thing in recent years. It was really effective at the beginning, but as people's demand for notarization increases, a large number of notarization applications have accumulated in the background of these software, and the notary office must Prioritize the business that I accept, and the business that comes from these software is too late to process, and several apps have been complained by users that they have been removed from the shelves.”
Now Cheng Yao was a little distressed: "I don't know how long I have to wait in line to get notarized. Li Mengting's case can't wait that long."
Qian Heng glanced lightly at Cheng Yao: "I happen to have acquaintances at the notary office."
"Boss! Please help!!!"
Although Qian Heng's face remained indifferent as usual, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved: "It's not that you can't help me if you beg me so pitifully."
"I'll treat you to dinner!" Cheng Yao followed suit, "You can order whatever restaurant you want!"
Qian Heng coughed softly: "I've been a little angry recently, and I don't want to eat out."
"Then how about I cook you a table of home-cooked food?"
Qian Heng thought for a while, and seemed a little reluctant: "That's okay."
"Then why not the day after tomorrow? I'll treat you when I finish dinner with my mother, best friend and son tomorrow!"
Qian Heng's boss illness made him feel a little unhappy that he was ranked behind others, so he said with a bad face, "I also want to eat seafood."
"Hey?"
"What I eat must be higher than his standard."
"kindness?"
Qian Heng snorted coldly without changing his face: "I'm the boss with a five-figure hourly salary but helping you for free. Don't you raise the standard of cooking?"
Cheng Yao immediately nodded and said: "The boss is right! The standard must be raised!"
—
A meal was finished in such a harmonious manner. There was no case to discuss in the second half, so Qian Heng didn't speak again, and Cheng Yao couldn't figure out his attitude, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just watched Qian Heng finish the steak in a very noble and elegant way.
At this point, the break-up meal between the two of them came to an end.
It's just that when we were parting, Qian Heng looked at Cheng Yao, hesitated to speak, and finally said something to Cheng Yao without beginning or end—
"It's hard work for you to be so restrained."
After Qian Heng said this, he gave Cheng Yao a complex and delicate look.
Cheng Yao was still a little puzzled when she got home, what did she restrain? Appetite? Cheng Yao thought, the reason I ate less tonight was because I was thinking about the case, not because I was saving money for Qian Heng! See where he's going.
But soon, Cheng Yao had no time to think about it. Because Qin Qin's call came. She has been on a lot of business trips recently, and the two of them haven't been together for a long time.
Although Qin Qin is still on a business trip tonight, when the two of them made a phone call, there was no sense of distance at all. From the recent situation of each other to Megatron's new girlfriend recently.
Between friends, even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, there always seem to be endless topics to talk about.
As a result, Cheng Yao and Qin Qin chatted carelessly for over an hour.
"Wow, it's getting late, let's go to bed early." Qin Qin glanced at his watch and decided to rein in the precipice, but before hanging up, she remembered something, "By the way, last time you ordered a gift box from my client, there is Was it sent by mistake?"
Cheng Yao was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"As far as my client told me, the person in charge of the factory seems to have sent several wrong packages in a row, and the buyers are complaining. One of the buyers ordered a self-made confession gift box. It is said that she is a rich woman who wants to get a small For fresh meat, I spent a lot of money to order a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, and a whole box of condoms, and put them in a gift box together with some confession. A gift box, I don’t know where it was sent to the people in the warehouse. There are already more than a dozen people who have complained about sending the wrong goods, and the number is estimated to be increasing. That one hundred thousand gift box."
"Nowadays, rich women are really hot when they confess their love. They all give condoms directly..."
After the shock was over, Cheng Yao didn't take it seriously: "But I definitely did not make a mistake. My boss should have opened the gift, and he has treated me very well recently. Originally, in a recent case, he said that the amount of the bid was too small and he would not Wasting time, but tonight he even instructed me on purpose, maybe he finally felt my sincerity.” Cheng Yao thought for a while, “Anyway, even if it’s wrong, it’s impossible to make it into the confession gift box, if my boss sees it When you get this gift box, why don’t you blow my dog’s head off on the spot and teach me to be a man so that I don’t have unreasonable thoughts about him?”
"It's true, if you, a poisonous boss, received the wrong gift, I'm afraid he would have dealt with you long ago." Qin Qin said reassuringly, "It's good that you are right anyway."
The two exchanged a few words casually before hanging up the phone.
