As soon as she entered the case analysis mode, Cheng Yao couldn't stop at all. She frantically absorbed the moisture from Qian Heng's body like a sponge. It wasn't until she sorted out all the clues that she realized that she and Qian Heng had discussed two things without knowing it. Hour.
Two full hours!
Even Qian Heng's customers with a bid of several hundred million bids probably don't have this kind of treatment!
For a moment, Cheng Yao was so moved that her eyes were almost moist.
Because they were concentrating on discussing the case just now, Cheng Yao and Qian Heng didn't pay attention to the desserts. Now when they looked at them, they realized that Xue Ming had already eaten them all.
Qian Heng took a sip of water, then glanced at the empty dessert tray on the table: "I didn't eat any."
Cheng Yao laughed. Although there were only her and Qian Heng, she deliberately lowered her voice and said sneakily, "I'll keep it for you!"
After she finished speaking, she hopped around like a rabbit and went to the kitchen. When she came out again, she was holding a small plate of baked cakes in her hand like a magic trick.
"Just now, I was afraid that it would be too late for you to talk about the case with me, so I reserved your portion." Cheng Yao held the dessert in front of Qian Heng as if offering a treasure, and said in a very earnest tone, "This is brownie, my specialty dessert ;This cheesecake takes a lot of time to make, and it needs to be frozen overnight in the refrigerator in advance, but the cheese tastes very rich; I only made a few pieces of this fruit tart, because it is relatively small, I didn’t take it out for Xue Ming to eat just now.” Speaking of this, Cheng Yao raised her head and smiled at Qian Hengzhan, "I specially left it for you, the boss."
Cheng Yao's smile was focused on nothing else, but being stared at by her bright eyes, and hearing her words specially reserved for her, Qian Heng's feeling of arrhythmia came again.
Heart palpitations, flustered, helpless. At that moment, his emotions seemed to be no longer under his control, but moved by Cheng Yao's every frown and smile.
"You said the brownies you made last time were too sweet and you didn't like them, so this time I used black chocolate, and the sugar in the recipe was halved." Cheng Yao didn't know anything, and looked at Qian Heng with a smile, "Boss , try it out, you should like it this time, it’s specially made according to your taste.”
Damn.
Qian Heng almost wanted to hold his chest in a gaffe, and the palpitations that had just eased up began again.
And when things got to this point, even he couldn't deceive himself anymore. It was never a heart problem, but he was bewitched.
Qian Heng stared at Cheng Yao almost viciously, his mind was in chaos.
It must be because Cheng Yao was bouncing around in front of her all day long, and she always had unreasonable thoughts about herself, and even boldly gave her that kind of gift, and now she is still staring at herself with such naked eyes.
It was definitely Cheng Yao's fault that she became like this.
But since Cheng Yao loves him so bitterly, Qian Heng feels that it is quite pitiful, if she is sincere, it is not impossible to try with her.
He ate a piece of brownie and calmed down for a while, then cleared his throat, and decided to give Cheng Yao a hint: "I think now, in fact, an office romance may not necessarily affect work efficiency."
Cheng Yao looked up, surprised by this sudden topic: "En?"
I saw Qian Heng glanced at her quickly, and then turned his gaze away equally quickly: "I have thought about it carefully, and I feel that such a thing as falling in love involves personal freedom, and it cannot be banned across the board just because it is a place. Good degree, self-denial and etiquette are not impossible."
Although Cheng Yao was baffled by what he heard, once Qian Heng opened his mouth, then Wang Lu and Li Minglei could be together in a fair way, which is pretty good.
She echoed: "Yes, as long as it doesn't affect the work, everyone is a decent person."
"kindness."
Qian Heng nodded just like that, and then didn't say anything, just looked at Cheng Yao.
Cheng Yao was stared at by him inexplicably, but she felt that she had nothing to say about the topic of office romance, because she couldn't figure out what Qian Heng meant, so she wisely chose to shut up quietly.
There was a moment of silence between the two of them.
Cheng Yao had nothing to say, but Qian Heng seemed to be waiting for Cheng Yao to say something, and kept staring at Cheng Yao. His eyes changed from calm at the beginning, to a little puzzled at the back, then became a little restless and fidgety, and finally turned into a vicious stare.
"Cheng Yao, do you have anything to say?"
Cheng Yao:? ?
She glanced at Qian Heng, and tentatively asked, "Should I say something?"
Qian Heng's face was a bit ugly, he paused every word as if he was holding his breath: "After giving the birthday present last time, don't you have anything else to say?"
Cheng Yao didn't understand, so she said, "No."
"..."
I don't know if it was Cheng Yao's illusion, but Qian Heng's face seemed to be a little darker after he finished speaking.
She thought for a while, is it possible that she is responsible for following up the boss's feedback on the gift after giving it? In this way, can you give a more desirable gift on the boss's birthday next year
"Boss, do you like the gift?"
"I didn't like it when I first received it." Qian Heng pursed his lips reservedly, "Now I think it's all yours after all. Although it's a bit too exaggerated, I can feel your mood. I will think about it .”
Cheng Yao was a little nervous, the gift didn't meet her expectations? What to consider? Do you give yourself a raise
She hurriedly said, "Then what kind of gift do you like, boss?"
Qian Heng coughed, and looked into the distance: "Let's be reserved and low-key."
"Okay okay."
Cheng Yao thought, since next year's birthday is still one year away, let's think about what a low-key, restrained and reserved gift will be in a year's time.
—
After discussing the case, Cheng Yao naturally did not dare to delay Qian Heng, who is equivalent to RMB 166.666 infinitely. She thoughtfully helped Qian Heng pack some uneaten desserts, and then said empathetically, "Boss, I have already wasted your money." It's already one night, you have a lot of work to do every day, I'm afraid you still have work to deal with when you go back, so you can go if you have something to do. By the way, you take these desserts with you, and you can eat them when you stay up late at night and work overtime."
Qian Heng gave Cheng Yao a complicated look, then turned his head away: "I don't have anything to work overtime tonight."
"Oh! That's really rare! You must want to go back to take a shower, sleep and rest!" Cheng Yao said embarrassedly, "It's all my fault for dragging you to discuss it for too long."
Qian Heng coughed, and under the ambiguous light, his side face seemed to be slightly red: "It's not too long to discuss, if you still want to discuss, it's not impossible."
"It's gone!" Cheng Yao said gratefully, "It's all sorted out now! After I send you away, I'm going to see Li Mengting, communicate with her a new way of handling the case, and check some information on the real estate."
"..."
Qian Heng paused for a moment, then said naturally: "Do you want me to see you off? Maybe on the way."
"Not on the way, your villa and the place where Li Mengting lives now are completely opposite directions."
Qian Heng paused, then turned his gaze away, and said calmly: "Oh, I'm not going back to my villa." He coughed, "I'm going back to my parents' place tonight, theirs is exactly the opposite of my villa. direction, so the place with Li Mengting should be on the way."
Cheng Yao couldn't ask for more, so she hurriedly told the address of the hotel.
—
The road was empty at night, and the two soon arrived at the hotel.
But Qian Heng, who was about to say goodbye, didn't drive away. He parked the car and got out of the car with Cheng Yao.
"boss?"
Qian Heng said naturally: "Oh, my parents sent me a text message just now, saying that there is a dinner party tonight, and I haven't gone back yet. I didn't bring the house key. Anyway, I will wait at the door when I go back. Why don't we go with you, just to supervise your treatment Whether the customer’s communication is due diligence and transcendence is used as a reference for the year-end assessment.”
Cheng Yao nodded. She didn't think too much about the case, and went upstairs with Qian Heng. Before entering the door, she asked Qian Heng to wait outside, and went in to tell Li Mengting that Qian Heng was also visiting. With her consent, Qian Heng was welcomed in together.
Li Mengting is her classmate and friend, but at this moment, she is her client, a pregnant client who is sensitive at any time. At a time like this, without her approval, even Qian Heng and Cheng Yao shouldn't have brought her in to meet her without saying hello.
Cheng Yao didn't waste any time after entering the room, she told Li Mengting all the results of the discussion with Qian Heng tonight. Including the situation she might face.
Although it is difficult to accept, many things are not changed by one's own will.
Li Mengting really couldn't accept it: "Why is this happening? Although I didn't get a marriage certificate, I still have children living together. Why doesn't the law protect this situation?" Her tone was full of disappointment and anger, "It's ironic. , I am still a law school graduate, and I am unable to defend my rights when I am faced with such an obvious unfair treatment.”
"Don't talk about cohabiting people like me, even those who cheated in marriage. The cheating is not a reason for the cheating party to share less property in the divorce. It depends entirely on the discretion and discretion of the judge." Li Mengting's face turned pale, "Yao Yao, this kind of law is not perfect at all, and it can't really protect the rights of vulnerable women in the relationship between the sexes. You see, in the face of this situation, I can't do it as a law student, and you can't do it as a professional lawyer. Then we What's the point of studying law? You can't even protect yourself?"
Cheng Yao choked, and for a while, she didn't know how to answer.
"Your four years of legal education were wasted."
Just when Cheng Yao was struggling, Qian Heng's cold voice sounded.
Li Mengting was stunned, and looked at this legendary "industry cancer".
Qian Heng was still as indifferent as ever, he only glanced at Li Mengting lightly: "The law only helps the vigilant, not the lazy. Haven't you heard of this legal maxim?"
"Many people, because they don't understand the law, or even though they know a little bit of law, they don't realize the importance of the law. When dealing with disputes in life and work, they can't plan their actions from the legal thinking and perspective. In the end, the lawsuit In front of him, he found that he had failed to act legally in his favor, or failed to protect the evidence, did not know how to hire a lawyer, or was unable to hire a lawyer, and in the end he could only face the outcome of losing the lawsuit or even being punished by law.”
Qian Heng's voice was calm and impersonal, but every word hit Li Mengting's heart directly: "Because of the restrictions of their birth, these people have no chance to get in touch with legal education, and they don't know the law or realize the law. Although the root cause is not Their own mistakes, but they cannot escape the binding force and sanctions of the law. Statutes are lagging behind and cannot be perfected to completely keep pace with the times, but the existence of statutes in black and white, even if they are not perfect, is still a coercive society Rules, this set of rules exists objectively whether you agree or not. You are a person with a university education, attacking or disapproving of the law, what use is it for your real life except to vent your emotions? You do not agree , this law doesn’t exist? Does it not apply to you? Or if you don’t agree, you can change it immediately?”
"I really can't imagine that you have not only received a university education, but also received four years of legal education. The greatest significance of your law study should not be to be vigilantly aware of the existence of the law, learn it, master it, and use it for your own use. Before it happens, do enough pre-relief, calmly control the future risks, and protect yourself?"
Li Mengting was stunned.
Qian Heng rubbed the center of his brows, looking very headache: "The biggest advantage that distinguishes law students from others is that they can use the law to avoid risks beforehand, instead of waiting for something to happen before trying to remedy it, and then scolding when they find that there is no remedy. unreasonable law."
Although Qian Heng's words were not humane, they were right.
Li Mengting's face revealed a shameful and embarrassing expression: "I... I don't study law very well, and I haven't passed the judicial examination..."
She has already said this, and she has admitted her problem, and ordinary people stop here, but Qian Heng is obviously not an ordinary person...
"It's not that you are poor in law. It's that you haven't changed from the thinking of ordinary people to the thinking of legal people. You just live in a muddle along with your instincts, being content with the status quo, muddling along, drifting with the tide, not economically independent, and not alert to the future at all. Risks, and I am too lazy to think about how to use the law to avoid risks and protect myself.”
Li Mengting is a pregnant woman, she was about to cry when she was told, but Qian Heng unhurriedly paid her a knife: "So now it's not Cheng Yao, nor me, it's you who are facing this kind of predicament."
Li Mengting finally burst into tears, but she didn't hold any grudges against Qian Heng for stabbing her so many times, she just choked up and said, "Lawyer Qian, thank you for your reminder, you have always been an invincible legend in the industry... , I want to ask, if you give me some pointers on this case, will I be able to get the house?"
Not to mention Li Mengting, even Cheng Yao looked at Qian Heng expectantly. Qian Heng criticized Li Mengting so noblely and coldly for ten minutes. After the criticism, should there be any winning tricks to suppress first and then raise it
As a result, Qian Heng raised his eyebrows as a matter of course: "I'm not a god. You played chess like this in the early stage, and I have no room to remedy it."
"..."
"It depends on your opponent, whether this chess game will be messed up later, and you will make a big failure."
—
Because of Qian Heng's attack, Cheng Yao had to spend another ten minutes to appease Li Mengting before finally leaving.
Qian Heng is a little strange tonight.
In normal times, even if he faced customers with bids of hundreds of millions or billions, he would always go back to the court if there was nothing to say. Qian Heng said so much about the case that he didn't like.
In particular, these words, judging from the current situation of the case, can't reverse anything.
"Boss, next time you see Li Mengting, don't hit her again, she is pregnant anyway..."
As a result, Qian Heng snorted coldly and didn't take it seriously: "Just because she is a pregnant woman, she should face the cruel reality. In the future, a single mother with twins will not have any excellent career experience and resume in the past. What do you think of her? Will your life be easier than it is now? As a mother, you must be stronger than now. This blow is too much to bear? Then what kind of children are there, and what are you doing as a single mother?"
Cheng Yao scratched her head: "Then we can say it in another way."
Qian Heng concentrated on driving without speaking.
It wasn't until Bentley turned a corner that Cheng Yao heard his voice again.
"Because it's your friend."
Cheng Yao's heart froze.
"Otherwise you think I'm wasting my time?"
Qian Heng's voice was cold, but Cheng Yao felt that she could hear warmth from it, so she covered her mouth and laughed.
"Don't think too much about it. Just take it as a thank you for tonight's dinner." Qian Heng felt uncomfortable, and after he finished speaking, he pursed his lips again.
…
Not long after, Cheng Yao heard his voice again—
"According to my rate, I just said at least a quarter of an hour, and the rest will accompany you to meet customers for half an hour, and it takes half an hour to pick up and drop off on the road. Even if the journey cost is reduced by half, the normal charge should be 10,000."
Qian Heng's tone was casual and breezy, he glanced at Cheng Yao in the passenger seat from the corner of his eye, and his tone was full of meaning: "Reciprocity, your dinner and dessert, I'm not like some people, I actually thought that cleaning would be enough to offset it. I called a professional cleaner to clean the whole house for a whole day, and it only cost more than one thousand yuan. Heh. Your table of seafood tonight, plus your labor, is more than one thousand yuan."
"..."
If Cheng Yao hadn't been able to react before, at this moment, she understood everything.
Qian Heng was probably afraid that she would really indulge in love and not work, so he desperately hinted at Xue Ming's shortcomings, hoping that Cheng Yao could rein in the precipice.
Regarding his worries, Cheng Yao felt that they had to be dispelled immediately.
"Boss! Don't worry! I've figured it out now! Within two years! I will never fall in love!"
…
As a result, after hearing her assurance, Qian Heng's face did not turn bright, but rather complicated and subtle. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "In two years, it's definitely not that dead." Qian Heng cleared his throat, "If you really like her so much and you can't control your liking, it's not impossible to fall in love within two years."
Cheng Yao thought of Qian Heng's tough attitude of not allowing her to fall in love within two years, and compared with his empathy now, she was deeply moved.
Although my boss is very poisonous, but after getting along for a long time, he is so humane to his subordinates!
How else can I repay myself? Of course, repay by not falling in love and concentrating on working and building socialism!
Cheng Yao immediately said: "No, boss, I have thought about it for the past two days, and I feel that love is like a passing cloud, too short, only work and money are eternal, I decided to devote my limited life to unlimited work. ! Don't even fall in love until you become a par!"
"..."
After these promises, Qian Heng was probably overwhelmed by emotion, and for a while, he was so eloquent that he was so moved that he couldn't speak.
With such a straight face, he continued to drive the car, pursed his lips tightly, and remained silent, as if he was afraid that if he was not careful, he would reveal his inner feelings. Probably in order to make Cheng Yao unpredictable, he even suppressed the moved expression on his face, and continued to darken his face. It just makes people feel that this partner is really unfathomable.
Until she was sent home by Qian Heng, Cheng Yao couldn't help feeling that she was about to become a Cheng par, and she really had to work harder. Qian Heng looked angry but was happy, and she couldn't hide her true emotions everywhere. If you try to figure it out, you are not qualified!
