As soon as Liang Yiran left, Qian Heng called Cheng Yao to the office.
To Qian Heng's surprise, Cheng Yao nodded and agreed almost without thinking about the change to Liang Yiran's name: "It's good to be with Liang Par, and I'm very grateful that she can speak for me."
"In this situation, we really can only change the team to avoid suspicion. I will ask the executive to send relevant emails later. I am a partner, so I will also explain this matter."
Cheng Yao nodded, thought for a while, and explained for Bao Rui and Tan Ying: "This matter has nothing to do with Tan Ying and Bao Rui, and somehow it was suddenly exposed today."
"Probably because I like you so much."
Cheng Yao looked up, and Qian Heng was casually flipping through the documents that needed to be signed in front of him at the moment, his tone was so natural that people couldn't realize that he said the words just now.
"Because I like it too much, I can't help it, and people will always find out." Qian Heng looked out the window, his tone was a bit awkward, "The main thing is that I am smart and outstanding. Obviously the full score is 10, but I have to strive for 100 points." It’s not a surprise to be found out because you like you so much. It’s just a pity that I can’t take you with me in the future.”
Qian Heng coughed, and said solemnly: "The following words are not because of the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, but completely based on the relationship between superiors and subordinates." He tried hard to hide the expression on his face, "You may improve if you lose a boss like me. It will be slower, and I am also responsible for switching teams halfway, so once you need help, I will not sit idly by."
Qian Heng tried so hard to find an excuse, and Cheng Yao felt that it would be inhumane for her to expose him again.
She understands his duplicity.
And the moment she heard Qian Heng's voice, Cheng Yao's nasal cavity felt a little sore. She couldn't resist the embarrassing scene just now, but now facing her man, she just felt a little wronged and just wanted to jump into Qian Heng's place. Hiding in my arms.
"Qian Heng, I miss you a little bit."
Qian Heng was stunned. Cheng Yao's bright eyes were staring at him, frank and straightforward.
"Although you have only been away for a long time, I miss you very much."
Qian Heng's heart softened: "How long have they been talking about this matter? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If Liang still didn't hear it, are you planning to carry it alone?"
"I'm not a child anymore. I can't find a hug whenever I cry, or hide when I get hurt." Cheng Yao bit her lips, "I hope to become someone like Liang Par, as good and powerful as her."
"You can become a par, but even if you become a par, you are still my girlfriend." Qian Heng pursed his lips and stared at Cheng Yao, "If you are a girlfriend, you have the natural right to cry in your boyfriend's arms. He stretched out his hand and finally rubbed Cheng Yao's head, "Go eat your favorite claypot rice tonight."
I don't know why, but with this action, Cheng Yao felt less wronged.
—
Qian Heng acted resolutely, and soon, Cheng Yao changed the team. Qian Heng also generously admitted his relationship with Cheng Yao. sharp. This kind of frankness made everyone in the office naturally accept this kind of development. Many colleagues and Cheng Yao resumed the gag mode of getting along with each other.
In this way, Cheng Yao officially worked under Liang Yiran.
Liang is still very good to Cheng Yao, it can be said that he takes good care of her, but after a few days, Cheng Yao feels that this kind of care is too much.
Liang Yiran came to Junheng, and he himself brought his own team from BRICS. He already had two assistant lawyers by his side. Now that Cheng Yao was added, the three of them were not many, but Cheng Yao gradually realized that Liang Yiran Barely allow myself to do any real work. She is more like an administrative assistant, doing tasks that can be done by interns, such as printing documents, binding case files, making appointments with meeting rooms, sending materials to clients, and communicating with judges about the court time...
This was a completely different job content from that in Qian Heng's team. Cheng Yao worked on it for a week, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she took the initiative to find Liang Yiran.
"Liang Par, I want to participate in some cases."
Liang still had a gentle face, and she smiled at Cheng Yao: "There will be a process of adjustment between the new team members and the boss. Qian Heng and I have different styles. I like to find out what each employee is best at. , and then assign cases.”
The tone is gentle and polite, reasonable.
And the next time the team held a regular meeting, after finishing talking about the business, Liang still mentioned team building: "Cheng Yao is a new member of our team, and everyone can communicate with each other if they have anything." Speaking of this, Liang still turned his head Looking at Cheng Yao, he said softly, "Our team style may be different from that of Qian Heng's team. If you have any discomfort, you can communicate at any time. The other two lawyers in the team are older than you and have more experience. Everyone also agrees. You won’t hide it, just ask them if you have anything.”
She smiled: "I know that you are directly involved in major cases with Qian Heng, but don't underestimate the basic work of printing documents and binding files. There are many details worth learning in every job. It is this little bit of accumulation that can make progress." Liang Yiran finished speaking, and then glanced at the two lawyers in the team, "You ask, which one of them started from this job? Zhang Ran's practice I have basically been doing these things for the past two years.”
These words sounded like consolation, but Cheng Yao savored carefully, and always felt that there was something in the words, as if implying that she was too impetuous. The other two lawyers under Liang Yiran are also older than Cheng Yao. Because of the relationship between Cheng Yao and Qian Heng, their attitude towards her is somewhat cautious, as if they are afraid that if they offend her, they will be recruited by Qian Heng. of.
Because of Liang Yiran's previous steps forward, Cheng Yao was convinced and grateful to her, but after repeated contacts, she began to feel a little subtle about Liang Yiran's behavior. She seemed to be very friendly and caring to herself, but at the same time seemed to be extremely unfriendly to herself. For a while, Cheng Yao was also a little confused. She was a little uncertain, and she didn't want to rashly alarm Qian Heng, and she didn't want to leave the impression that she was always suing because of her special status, let alone Qian Heng. Busy with a foreign-related marriage case, stays in Los Angeles most of the time.
Fortunately, after more than half a month of miscellaneous work, Liang Yiran finally took her to the case.
It's just a few cases in succession. Although Cheng Yao participated in it, she couldn't get involved deeply. Almost every important meeting with a client, Cheng Yao will unfortunately be sent out to work, such as going to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to check files, or where to help obtain evidence... These things are of course what lawyers should do, but after a while , Cheng Yao was tired of running around with these auxiliary tasks. Although she also participated in the case, she did all these trivial things. She couldn't see the whole picture of the case at all, and she couldn't handle it at all. It was a waste of time and life. restlessness.
It's not that he hasn't approached Liang Yiran again, but once again, he was blocked back by the other party's gentle but forceful way.
Qian Heng was still in Los Angeles, but during the video, he was keenly aware of Cheng Yao's mental state.
"Did Liang Yiran give you too much work? Why do you have such a bad face?"
Cheng Yao didn't want to bother Qian Heng about such a trivial matter, she just said vaguely: "I joined the new team, I'm just getting used to it, it'll be fine once I get used to it."
What Cheng Yao said was not a lie. Liang Yiran's style is completely different from Qian Heng's. She requires every lawyer to wear famous brand suits, carry LV bags, and silk scarves must also be designated brands, especially female lawyers. It must be carefully groomed from head to toe, without any flaws, and the makeup must be exquisite to perfection.
"Our image is our face. We are facing high-end domestic customers. We must let customers know that our income is good and there is no shortage of sources. This is like a kind of marketing. The more beautiful you package yourself, the more expensive it is. , People who want to buy are still flocking to it.”
Liang Yiran's words are naturally reasonable, but Cheng Yao is always a little bit at a loss in her heart when she wears a brand-name suit she bought with gritted teeth, and a stiletto heel, and is holding on to an affordable luxury brand that she has no money to buy. What she was taught by Qian Heng is not like this. The first task of a lawyer is to be professional, not to look professional.
However, although it is completely different from Qian Heng's idea, Liang Zhan's trick is also very effective.
The beautiful, elite and long-sleeved female partner is very trustworthy no matter what. If you want to join Junheng and become a partner, you must have the threshold of income generation. Liang can still reach this threshold, and he is indeed very capable. After observing several cases, Cheng Yao found that Liang was still very good at grasping people's hearts. Her professional ability was obviously not as good as Qian Heng's, but her interpersonal public relations were very strong.
Although the styles are different, Cheng Yao worked hard to learn Liang Yiran's strengths. It's just that the more calm she became, the more she felt that Liang was still becoming more impetuous and hostile towards her.
This day, I went out to visit clients with Liang Yiran. On the way back, Liang Yiran stared at Cheng Yao's Coach bag. She was still gentle. After a few glances, she didn't say anything. She smiled at Cheng Yao: "Qian Heng is coming back from Los Angeles soon."
Cheng Yao was a little confused, so: "En?"
"His plane today, don't forget to remind him to bring you a gift." Liang still said sweetly, "Because of the current exchange rate, it is very cost-effective to buy a bag in the United States." She glanced at Cheng Yao's again Bao, "You can ask Qian Heng to buy you a bag. This time he is on a business trip and cannot be with you for so long. Let him bleed to make some compensation."
Seeing that Cheng Yao was silent, she took out her Hermes crocodile skin like a close sister: "Do you like this style? I can ask Qian Heng to buy one for you. If you use a real famous brand, you will find that the first-line famous brand There is indeed a reason why top-tier brands are expensive.”
Although he said it very implicitly, Liang still deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "real famous brand".
Cheng Yao is a fool, and she could hear something in her words mocking her for using an extravagant Coach.
It was also at this moment that Cheng Yao confirmed that Liang was still not really friendly to her. She still liked Qian Heng and hadn't given up. She was probably full of hostility and jealousy towards herself. The appearance of this kind of emotion has nothing to do with professionalism. Liang was still a woman before becoming a senior female parr. And after understanding this, Cheng Yao's recent treatment like a bench has also been explained, and even Liang Yiran's previous behavior of defending herself and deliberately asking herself to be in the team has become more subtle.
There were only Cheng Yao and Liang Yiran in the airtight interior of the car, but Cheng Yao was not prepared to show timidity at all, so she also smiled.
"Liang Par, I can just buy a Coach."
Liang Yiran was just about to say something, but Cheng Yao interrupted her: "Sometimes, when you have your status and status, if you buy an affordable luxury brand like Coach, people won't think you are not good enough, they will only think that you are so rich and still use Coach." , is a low-key and reliable person. For example, some local tyrants drive a Porsche and carry a Coach, and no one will feel poor. They only think that they are rich but don’t care about famous brands. Crowding the subway, even if you use a real Hermès, others will think it’s a fake.”
Liang was still a little dazed.
Cheng Yao grinned: "I'm Qian Heng's girlfriend, Qian Heng's girlfriend, even if I use Coach, everyone thinks I'm just low-key. Besides, I don't want my boyfriend to waste money, even though Hermes is a More than a hundred thousand is just a small pocket money for Qian Heng, but it is quite a lot for me, and I don't want him to waste it. After all, after getting married, this is the joint property after marriage. He spends it so much. , I am also very heartbroken. After having a child, there will be more places to spend money, and you should be diligent and thrifty to manage the house. So although Qian Heng gave me the secondary card of the credit card, I will not use it. "
Cheng Yao met Liang Yiran's eyes bravely: "Besides, I always thought that bags are just accessories, and you must rely on famous brands to stand out, which means that your aura is not strong enough. I believe that if it is Qian Heng, it will be Carry a rag bag to meet clients, and clients will flock to them." She blinked, "Actually, if it wasn't for Attorney Liang's request, I wouldn't buy Coach, because I'm confident in myself without Coach."
With a smile on her face, Cheng Yao perfectly revealed the sweetness of falling in love. Just kidding, she is not a rookie who is stupid and bullied. As a lawyer, fighting is instinct. When encountering a blow, Cheng Yao's first reaction is to fight back. This is almost a habit developed around Qian Heng. Don't bear any injustice and ridicule, be tough and don't back down.
Liang Yiran obviously didn't expect Cheng Yao's reaction at all, her eyes flickered, and finally said with difficulty: "Qian Heng and you have plans to get married?" She restrained the sourness and shock in her tone, and tried to calmly say , "You may not know, he is a staunch non-marriage advocate and DINK, he doesn't want to get married and have children..."
It's not that Cheng Yao is ignorant of Qian Heng's previous principles, but she has the upper hand at the moment, and she also has the mentality of pursuing the victory in her heart: "Really?" On the first day we were together, he said he wanted to marry me and have children right away, but I thought I was still young and wanted to break into a career, but fortunately he respected my opinion and said he would always wait for me."
After these words, Liang still didn't speak again. She bit her lip tightly and looked forward in silence. After a long time, she said with a dry voice: "Then tomorrow night, the alumni association of our university's law school, did he tell you?" Liang still tried his best to maintain a smile, and said kindly, "In the past, the one who liked Qian Heng in college There are quite a lot of girls, and he is so outstanding now, I am afraid that going to the class reunion will attract more people, so you have to keep an eye on him."
Cheng Yao smiled and glanced at Liang Yiran: "He asked me to go with him." She blinked, "Thank you Liang par for reminding me, I will definitely look after him tomorrow night."
"..."
Liang Yiran was finally at a loss for words. Not only that, she looked like she was about to explode in place.
—
Ever since Cheng Yao joined her team, Liang still hasn't been happy for a single day.
She admitted that she was jealous, and also admitted that it was unprofessional to be so indiscriminate between public and private, but she couldn't help it. Every time she saw Cheng Yao's beautiful and flawless side face full of collagen, she couldn't restrain the malice rising from the bottom of her heart.
She deliberately didn't let her participate in any important case, but tried her best to waste her time, waiting for her to rush to Qian Heng to complain and mess herself up, and once again put herself in a position where her colleagues were isolated. Surprisingly, however, Cheng Yao didn't go to Qian Heng at all, she accepted her arrangement quietly and didn't jump in a hurry.
Deciding that she would not give her the source of the case, she took the initiative to go out to find it. It is a very difficult and frustrating process for a new lawyer to find a case source, but Cheng Yao actually did it with gusto. She went to family law forums and distributed business cards to every possible potential client. She actually received a few cases. Although the target amount is not large, she is dedicated and focused.
Not arrogant or impetuous, excellent business ability. Qian Heng didn't lie, the cases he gave her were indeed obtained by her ability.
It's just this kind of cognition, but Liang still can't accept it even more. She would rather hope that Cheng Yao is a mediocre girl who loves to serve others.
This distorted jealousy reached its peak when Qian Heng brought her to the alumni association.
Cheng Yao was wearing a red dress, as gorgeous as peaches and plums, and walked slowly holding Qian Heng's hand. Qian Heng put his arms around her waist, bowed his head and whispered in her ear, with a smile on his face that he had hardly seen before. .
He really likes her.
