After dealing with the temporary legal consultation sent by the client, Cheng Yao remembered Cheng Xi's words, and couldn't hold back her curiosity. She moved the chair to Tan Ying who was still watching the Japanese Raiders.
"Have you ever heard 'lawyers to argue'?"
Tan Ying is obsessed with various variety shows, and sure enough, she didn't miss this legal variety show, her eyes lit up: "It's very popular recently, have you started chasing it?"
"No... I just heard about it. I remembered to ask you, is it good-looking?"
"It's beautiful! This program has a legal theme in each issue. In each issue, two industry experts are invited to sit in the chair, and then cases that need legal help in related fields will be collected from the whole society. After screening, the most controversial and difficult cases will be selected. , make the case into a topic, and two industry experts represent the opposite side of the case, comment on it from the perspective of reason and law, and the whole process is live broadcast without pre-recording and editing. The audience voted to select the winning lawyer." Tan Ying said with bright eyes, "Three episodes have been aired before, the theme of the first episode is real estate law; the theme of the second episode is labor law; the theme of the third episode is It's the Consumer Protection Law. By the way, the fourth issue will start soon, and the theme of this issue is the Marriage Law... "
Only then did Cheng Yao realize in her heart that this is the case, the next issue is Marriage Law, so one of the invited "big stars in the industry" is Deng Ming.
"By the way, did you know?" As a result, Tan Ying leaned closer to Cheng Yao's ear and said mysteriously, "Actually, we, Qian par, have received an invitation letter from the program group."
"Hey?"
"As for the program group of the fourth episode of 'Lawyers to Debate', we have sent invitations to Qian par several times, and made a dozen phone calls, but they are really very sincere. Even if our attitude towards Qian par is very They refused badly, and they still missed him, and even called Wu Par several times, hoping that Wu Par could act as an intermediary to persuade Qian Par to participate."
"Is there another participating lawyer identified?"
"I'm sure. It's Deng Ming, the partner of Dulwich Law Firm. I heard that your legal aid case is right for him? People say that he is the conscience of the industry, and our money par is the cancer of the industry." Tan Ying couldn't help laughing when she said this, "Hahaha, now I understand the program group's obsession with money par, the conscience of the industry against the cancer of the industry, it really has something to watch and a marketing point. "
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Tan Ying just casually gossiped, but Cheng Yao's heart was ready to move.
Deng Ming will definitely participate in this program. If Qian Heng can also participate, with Qian Heng's professionalism and his mouth that can send you to the crematorium at any time, Deng Ming may lose his face during the live broadcast , His painted skin naturally peeled off.
It's just... It's just that Qian Heng really disagrees...
During the evening date, Cheng Yao tried to persuade Qian Heng to participate, but was rejected mercilessly by Cheng Yao.
"I'm a lawyer, not an entertainment star. A lawyer only needs to do his professional work well and serve his clients well. He doesn't need to go on such meaningless variety shows." Qian Heng mentioned "lawyers come to debate", obviously Disdain, "It's too idle to entertain professionals, not to mention that these variety shows are all packaged images of lawyers, just like lawyers in TV dramas, which are not our real working status at all, so we are just laymen watching the fun, but It is a disguised marketing platform for people like Deng Ming."
"But then it's up to us to get rid of the public's false impression of lawyers and tell them what real lawyers look like."
Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao, then took off his scarf, and wrapped it around Cheng Yao's head indiscriminately: "My time is very expensive, and I really don't want to waste it on things other than work. Especially my Leisure time is more precious now than ever before.”
"Your hourly rate has risen again?!" Cheng Yao couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is there any reason?! Your rate is already so high, you have to increase it!"
"No price increase."
"Then why is it more expensive?"
"Idiot." Qian Heng turned his head sideways, with a slightly awkward voice, "Because all the free time now is reserved for you."
Although Qian Heng finally did not agree to participate in the "Lawyer Comes to Debate" program, Cheng Yao felt that not only was she not unhappy, on the contrary, she felt like a cat that had been patted, and she felt extremely comfortable.
very sweet.
Sweeter than drinking a glass of sugar water.

At the end of the year, all work has come to an end, and the atmosphere of the New Year is already permeating everywhere. Time flies, but everything is going on in an orderly manner. The first-instance judgment of Li Mengting’s real estate dispute case has ended. As Cheng Yao expected, the judgment supports Li Mengting’s acquisition of house ownership, and Zhang Hao gets a corresponding share of cash compensation. There are still 15 days to appeal after the verdict is delivered, but Cheng Yao is almost certain that even if Zhang Hao refuses to accept the first-instance verdict and chooses the second-instance trial, the verdict will not change much.
"Thank you, Yaoyao! When the verdict comes into effect, I can scrape together the money to give him Zhang Hao's part of the cash, and then return the 1 million, and I can say goodbye to the past!" Li Mengting almost cried with joy when she received the verdict. The fetal image is already stable, and under the care and encouragement of the parents, the mentality has been adjusted, and the complexion has turned rosy.
Once cheered up, Li Mengting was more active than Cheng Yao imagined. Since she got Cheng Yao's judicial examination review materials, she began to study every day, almost showing the posture of the college entrance examination.
"This child thinks there is no learning atmosphere in the hotel, and now he goes to the nearby library to study at eight o'clock every morning." Li Mengting's mother felt a little distressed, "Fortunately, the library is close, and the doctor also said that it may be a little bit late in pregnancy. Appropriate exercise is good for controlling blood sugar and fetal size, and it is easy to give birth smoothly.” Speaking of this, she complained a little, “I used to accompany her to the library every day with her dad, and pick her up and walk back with her at night. As a result, she refused to let us pick it up these days, and she wanted to walk back by herself, but she worried me to death... "
Li Mengting's mother didn't think much about it, but Cheng Yao keenly sniffed out some clues from Li Mengting's expression.
As soon as Mama Li left, Cheng Yao put on a posture of torture: "Come on, tell me, who sent you home recently?"
Li Mengting's face was slightly red, her eyes dodged and she said: "No... no."
"Can you still hide it from me?" Cheng Yao smiled, "You have been very careful since you almost had a threatened miscarriage last time. Although it is relatively stable in the second trimester, you will never be so rash and insist on a pregnancy at night. People go home at night, tell me, who brought you back?" Cheng Yao winked at Li Mengting and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you, and I won't tell your parents."
"You said it, keep it a secret for me!" Li Mengting glanced at Cheng Yao, and finally didn't hide it anymore, "Because there are fewer people in the foreign language library and it is quieter, I usually review in the foreign language library when I go to the library. There is a foreigner , and have been reading in that library, his Chinese is not very good, once he wanted a foreign book, the librarian was too old to understand English, so I got it for him, and then we got to know each other.”
Cheng Yao's eyes glowed with gossip: "How old are you? What country? What background? What kind of work do you do?"
"He is a Finnish engineer. He is six years older than me. He also had a marriage once, but because he and his ex-wife got together less and more, they finally broke up amicably. They have been divorced for several years and have no children, but he likes children very much."
"Handsome?"
"Not handsome, not the handsome European and American guy you think, but an ordinary person, but he is very gentle, and unexpectedly found that we still have a lot of common topics." Li Mengting was a little shy, but also a little apprehensive and uneasy, "I never thought about it. How about with him, just treat it as a foreign friend, and I have told him about my situation. I didn’t expect him not to mind, and thought it was so difficult for me. It is very courageous to choose to have a child, and I insist on it every day when I am pregnant. When I came to study, he thought I was very persevering, strong and independent, and he really pursued me seriously. I refused, but he still insisted on sending me home, hoping to start as a friend."
Cheng Yao can understand Li Mengting's uneasiness. She just got out of a failed relationship, and she may have lingering fears about men, marriage, and the future. It's just that she has been hurt and misfortune, and it doesn't prevent her from being happy again.
After this setback, Li Mengting has obviously grown a lot. Now she is no longer indecisive, and has her own considerations and assurances about her future: "Now my new life has just begun, and there are many unstable factors. I didn't think about it so early. To start a relationship again, the most important thing is to become stronger first. Don’t everyone say, ‘If you are in full bloom, the breeze will come’? I believe that only when you work hard enough can you meet better people and get the love that matches you. Once you really work hard, life will not treat you badly." Li Mengting's voice was filled with determination, "Yaoyao, this time, I will no longer think about entrusting my life to men, and I will become stronger by myself. Love yourself first, then love others. There are many other things in life besides love and marriage."
Looking at the reborn Li Mengting, Cheng Yao resisted the emotion in her heart and nodded vigorously: "As long as you work hard and persevere, life will definitely get better and better!"
It is true that life is full of choices, and a wrong choice may pay a heavy price, but life is not just about winning or losing a game. If you make a wrong choice, stand up again, never give up on yourself, and you can still overcome obstacles and reap tomorrow.

Li Mengting's case has basically come to an end, and Lin Fengjuan's case is still waiting for the second trial, but even with a conservative estimate, the chances of winning are sure.
At the end of the year, Cheng Yao was relieved to be able to solve these two cases, and finally allowed herself to relax a little, and devoted herself to the atmosphere of Japanese team building.
Since Bao Rui persuaded Qian Heng to let him continue to go to Japan again, he enthusiastically prepared Matsumoto Kiyoshi discount coupons and a must-buy list in Japan for everyone. Tan Ying has already matched her outfits for Japanese street photography, and Wang Lu and Li Minglei, an underground couple, are naturally looking forward to going to Japan for group building.
—
With everyone's strong anticipation, the five-day and four-night Kansai tour of the Japanese team building finally kicked off.
Japan is very cold in winter, but Jun Heng and his lawyers talked and laughed all the way, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"We arranged the itinerary in Kyoto for the first three days, and returned to Osaka in the next two days. Considering that it's not too early to arrive in Kyoto today, we can't arrange any itinerary. We first went to the hotel to put down our luggage and have a simple dinner. In the evening, we have arranged a performance at the Gion Yaei Hall.” Ms. Zhu from the administration department enthusiastically explained to everyone, “The performance at the Gion Yaei Hall is a very traditional Japanese culture. In addition to geisha performances, there are also tea ceremony and flower arrangement. , Gagaku, Kyogen and the like..."
Sister Zhu was still talking in front of the team, Bao Rui lamented: "Hey!"
Tan Ying was very curious: "What are you doing?"
Bao Rui's expression was indescribable: "The first time I came to Japan, I also tried to accept the influence of culture and cultivate my sentiments, but this performance is really not fun! First of all, this performance is pure Japanese, there is no translation at all, just the geisha What Beijing dance performances can still be blindly watched, the rest of the tea ceremony and flower arrangement are very boring, and the kyogens and the like are simply incomprehensible... I watched it with my wife last time, and I fell asleep for 40 minutes after an hour..." He regretted, "There is At this time, why don't you all go to the bars in Kyoto, I know a few bars are very good, and it happens that my wife is away, so I want to have a big fight... "
At this time, Qian Heng happened to come over. Bao Rui couldn't hold back his grievances, and complained directly: "Qian par, which travel agency arranged this itinerary? I, Bao Rui, came to Japan to watch this kind of performance? The one who arranged the itinerary is probably not mentally retarded, right? And the only geisha singing and dancing that can be seen, the actors are all men, not a single woman, so what else to watch? If the person who arranged the itinerary is a man, he must also like men !"
The more Bao Rui spoke, the more angry he became: "Next time, don't let me see this person arranging the itinerary. I, Bao Rui, will be the first to beat him up and call him Dad."
Qian Heng didn't speak, he pursed his lips, and glanced at Bao Rui: "Bao Rui, I arranged the itinerary."
"Money par..."
"I'm pretty sure I don't like men." Qian Heng said coldly, "Since you have no interest in the evening performance, it happens that one of my clients has an agreement to change, so you can work overtime in the hotel."
Bao Rui was about to cry: "Qian par, no...you listen to my explanation..."
"Don't explain it to me. I think your wife should know about the dangerous thought of going to a nightclub while your wife is not thinking about it. So, just explain to her." Qian Heng smiled suddenly, "Don't worry, I will make sure she knows of."
Bao Rui's heart felt cold all by himself, he almost knelt down when he saw Qian Heng leaving indifferently.
"Qian par, does he know that my wife is a tigress? If he behaves like this, I will die!" Bao Rui said desperately, "I was beaten to death by my wife, how can I serve Qian par again? Doesn't he want him? Is your little sun?"
"..."
Wake up Bao Rui, you are really too involved in the drama!
