After the small meeting of the three of them ended, Qi Xi only felt that his anxiety became stronger.
It was probably because she was not in a normal state recently, and after the lunch break, she went back to the competition office, and Qi Xi was called into the office by Gu Xuehan.
"Qi Xi, what happened to you recently?" Gu Xuehan followed up on the previous traffic accident case, poured a cup of tea for Qi Xi, and then asked Qi Xi naturally, "Although I am you The boss, but he is not much older than you, if you have any emotional problems, you can also consult me, just treat me as a friend."
She took a sip of tea and looked at Qi Xi: "Although you are in a relationship with my brother, I will not favor him for it. Only when love can make you happy, this relationship is worthwhile. If a relationship The anxiety and pain that love brings to you is already greater than the sweetness, I suggest that you should stop."
Gu Xuehan was indeed very neutral. Not only did she not mean to favor Gu Yan, but she tended to have stricter demands on Gu Yan.
"There is nothing wrong with your recent work feedback, but if you have been in a more anxious mood, it will definitely affect your work in the future. What's more, I have high expectations for you, and I think you should be able to do better than you are now... "
Gu Xuehan didn't know the inside story, but only thought that there was something wrong with Qi Xi and Gu Yan's relationship. After all, Qi Xi and Gu Yan had been bitter and bitter lately.
Although it was obvious that Gu Xuehan guessed the wrong direction completely, but Qi Xi only felt that the sockets of his eyes were hot and red.
As a father, Qi Ruiming was supposed to be the one who could support her when she was in trouble, but in fact, he was the one who hurt Qi Xi, the one who put Qi Xi in such anxious mood, and he had nothing to do with him. Gu Xuehan, who is related by kinship, is very concerned about her own state.
Qi Xi suddenly had an impulse, maybe... maybe she could seek Gu Xuehan's help
Qi Xi bit her lips: "It's not something wrong with Gu Yan, it's my family."
But almost after Qi Xi finished speaking, she regretted it, because Gu Xuehan's cell phone rang, which made Qi Xi feel guilty, she shouldn't take up Gu Xuehan's time, but it was beyond Qi Xi's expectation, Gu Xuehan pressed the phone The bell was turned to silent, and then he assumed a posture to listen carefully.
Her face was very serious: "What's going on?" She looked at Qi Xi, "You are a member of my team, even if you don't encounter difficulties at work, how old am I than you, what can I do for you? Yes, just open your mouth."
…
Qi Xi didn't expect that it would be easier to tell than she imagined. Gu Xuehan, like Gu Yan, behaved very well when it came to such an unbelievable incident at Qi Xi's family. She didn't look sideways at Qi Xi or show anything that might make her feel uncomfortable. She is more good at listening than Qi Xi thought. During Qi Xi's explanation, Gu Xuehan only listened quietly and patiently.
After Qi Xi finished speaking, Gu Xuehan didn't comment, but just handed Qi Xi a piece of candy from the drawer: "Eat something sweet, and you'll feel better."
Qi Xi peeled off the candy wrapper, and when the sweetness began to spread in her taste buds, her heart was bitter: "Lawyer Gu, although I am a law student and work in law, I am very confused this time, am I right?" Our laws can't protect the disadvantaged groups in marriage? My mother and I both have a legal education background and have tried our best to collect evidence. Gu Yan has also been helping us discuss together, but in the end, we found that The current law makes it difficult for my mother to get the compensation she deserves... "
"It is even more impossible to punish him with the crime of bigamy. The court is very cautious when judging the crime of bigamy itself as a criminal offense. The conditions to be met are very strict. The constituent elements of the crime of bigamy are that there is a spouse and bigamy or knowingly Others have spouses and marry them. I checked the court cases. Most of the people who were convicted of bigamy took advantage of a loophole in the early years of not being connected to the Internet. It is impossible for Qi Ruiming to do such a stupid thing, let alone such an operation may not be feasible now; the other kind of bigamy that will be judged as bigamy is People who are married have been living with a third party in the name of husband and wife for a long time. Qi Ruiming is also not suitable. His extramarital affair with Wang Juan has always been kept secret. My mother doesn't know about it, and neither do his colleagues in the law firm. He can't be stupid enough to let himself fall into the name of bigamy."
Qi Xi has already studied the legal clauses of this study countless times, and she can read the court cases almost by heart. She doesn't think that Gu Xuehan has a better way, and she doesn't expect to get anything from Gu Xuehan in this confession. Get another method of operation.
She was just really confused, and she really had doubts about the major she studied and the profession she was engaged in.
Can the law really protect the people it is supposed to protect
It's just that Qi Xi originally thought that Gu Xuehan would give her comfort, but Gu Xuehan didn't say a word, she just put down the water glass and smiled: "Who said the law doesn't protect your mother anymore?"
Qi Xi was stunned.
Gu Xuehan took a sip of tea and stared into Qi Xi's eyes: "Qi Xi, I think what you need now is not comfort, but some professional advice. Do you mind letting me intervene in this case together? As a lawyer."
Gu Xuehan pursed her lips and smiled: "Generally speaking, my charges are very expensive, but since you are my employee, this time it is free. After all, I hope to solve your problem quickly and quickly, so that you can quickly recover. Emotionally more stable working state, and share the business for me.”
Qi Xi was so excited that he was almost at a loss: "So, so Lawyer Gu, what can you do?"
Gu Xuehan never bluffed, she must have found a way to be so calm and unhurried!
Sure enough, Gu Xuehan showed an elegant yet extremely confident smile on her face: "Of course, there is no case in this world that I, Gu Xuehan, can't handle yet."
After she finished speaking, she made an intercom call and called Gu Yan into the office.
"Why didn't you tell me about these things that happened in Qixi's house?"
As soon as Gu Yan entered the office, Gu Xuehan confronted her with complaints: "You are my younger brother, she is my employee and my younger brother's girlfriend, I am half a parent after all, if a child is beaten, he will still know how to go back to his parents It's good for you to file a complaint, and get beaten with Qi Xi."
Gu Yan was obviously embarrassed by the criticism, but fortunately, because of Gu Xuehan's scolding, it dilutes the atmosphere of bitterness and hatred. Qi Xi even couldn't help laughing when he saw Gu Yan's deflated expression.
Gu Xuehan didn't bother about the issues that Gu Yan didn't report anymore, she quickly switched to "professional teaching"—
"Listen well, both of you. As lawyers, we must not fall into the misunderstanding that everything should be done in accordance with the law."
Gu Xuehan put down the water glass and added: "Of course, the meaning of this sentence is not to persuade you to break the law and discipline, but to occasionally jump out of the rules of the law and think about whether there are other solutions to the matter. Didn't you find it? Yes Sometimes people who are too disciplined tend to suffer more.”
"What you predicted before was completely analyzed according to how the judge will judge according to the law when filing for divorce. The prediction is indeed correct, but have you ever thought about it? The better, more economical and cost-effective way for marriage disputes is to negotiate. divorce?"
Qi Xi frowned, a little unclear, so: "But the divorce is agreed, my dad is not a guilty person at all, he is also a lawyer, we are not his opponents in the negotiation, and he knows that even if the agreement fails, my mother will get a divorce He can only sue, and the judgment of the prosecution court will not allow him to leave the house. Now I am not his only child, and he has a son who is more important. He will never give up the marital property. He will fight Order to fight for the rights and interests of my son in the future... "
"For you, you are not his opponent, but for me, he is not my opponent at all."
Gu Xuehan's tone was very natural, even a little conceited, but Qi Xi's heartbeat began to speed up, because she knew that Gu Xuehan said this not because of arrogance, but because of full confidence.
"Lawyer Gu, what do you mean..."
"I, Gu Xuehan, can still be called a name in the legal circle. What about him? He really can't find him. Now even if he participates in competitions, he often has the opportunity to ask for foreign aid from the field. Why are you two so rude?" Didn't expect to come find me?"
Gu Xuehan's tone was somewhat resentful: "I know both of you are working hard, but the act of asking for help is not weak in itself. Being good at asking for help and grafting other people's resources and experience into yourself is also a kind of ability. , and even making others willing to help you is a skill.”
"The core of divorce by agreement is negotiation. As lawyers, in addition to being familiar with legal professional knowledge, there is another ability that needs to be cultivated is negotiation ability. Excellent lawyers can intervene in business negotiations with corporate clients and understand business models. The business structure and the business psychology of the other party can get the best quotation for our customers to the greatest extent, but how to grasp the balance and the bottom line of the other party depends on skills and experience.”
Gu Xuehan, who is dedicated to work, is really dazzling. Her confident face and bright eyes seem to exude a professional light all over her body. Not to mention Qi Xi, even Gu Yan looks at her eagerly seeking knowledge.
"The core of all negotiations, no matter divorce property division or business negotiation, is the same, that is, you have to grasp the weakness of the other party. Before you sit at the negotiating table, you have to figure out what the other party wants most. For example, if you sell goods, what is the quality that the other party values most in your goods? Is there any irreplaceable quality in your goods? If so, then even if you are just a small supplier, the other party is a big brand buyer , you also have a certain initiative."
Gu Xuehan pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Qi Xi: "So Qi Xi, don't think that just because you are just an intern lawyer and your father is an experienced lawyer, you have no way to beat him, you clearly have him in your hands The most important thing."
Qi Ruiming's most important thing...
Gu Xuehan's words were like enlightenment, and Qi Xi suddenly realized—
"Lawyer Gu, are you talking about my father's illegitimate son?!"
Gu Xuehan nodded, with a bit of childish approval in her tone: "Smart! But besides your son, you have other things he cares about."
She glanced at Qi Xi and Gu Yan, and did not miss this opportunity to teach: "Qi Xi's father has done so many things. He is a law student. Doesn't he know how to control risks? Obviously he has an illegitimate child and raises a mistress outside. After all, if the price is very small, why did he have a son ten years ago, but he chose not to divorce and kept hiding it, rather than giving his precious son a complete family, Do you want to continue to maintain his marriage with Qi Xi's mother?"
Gu Yan frowned, and replied: "Because he is a selfish person, he cares about his own reputation and the persona he creates outside."
Gu Xuehan smiled sarcastically: "That's right, because he is a sanctimonious hypocrite with a twisted and sick heart, but externally he pretends to be a good husband and wants to be praised by everyone. At the same time, he also cares about his own son's reputation. If this child is known by his classmates as an illegitimate child and his mother is a dirty mistress, do you think the children in the school will exclude him? He went to an aristocratic international school, and there are many international schools Parents are very particular about the concept of family status, many of them are the children of rich people or business executives in our city, who would want their children to make friends with classmates from such backgrounds?"
Qi Xi's heart beat fast.
That's right, she already knew the name, school, and class situation of Qi Ruiming's illegitimate son, then...
Facing Qi Xi's questioning gaze, Gu Xuehan nodded: "That's right, it's exactly what you think, Qi Xi, your evidence collection is not in vain, you have firmly grasped the trump card in your hand, as long as the information in your hand is made public, then Your father's face can't be kept, and this illegitimate child's reputation in school will be completely ruined."
"And that's what you're negotiating for."
Qi Xi's eyes lit up, and she quickly figured out the logic behind Gu Xuehan's words: "You mean, I can use this matter to threaten him? Ask him to protect the reputation of himself and his son, in order to protect the reputation of himself and his son. Voluntarily give up and make concessions, and then quickly go through the process of divorce by agreement?"
Gu Xuehan gave Qi Xi an approving look, but she immediately corrected her: "But this is not a threat, this is just a negotiation."
But regarding Gu Xuehan's words, Gu Yan frowned, but his expression was somewhat hesitant: "But in this way, will it involve personal privacy infringement?"
Gu Xuehan showed a somewhat speechless expression: "What did I say at the beginning? Although you are lawyers, as lawyers, we do not mean that we must require the client to do everything in line with the requirements of the law, and we have not touched any corners. For a law, if everyone can do this, wouldn’t it be great if everyone read the law through?”
"The reason why we lawyers exist is that there are always many people who will violate the law, and we provide remedial measures after breaking the law. Of course, we will advise all parties to abide by the law, but the job content of lawyers is not to punish violations. Behaviors either force everyone to abide by the law, or who is the referee. Our duty is to inform customers of the consequences and risks of breaking the law. We give a comprehensive analysis in advance, and the final decision is made by the customer, as long as they think it is a minor violation. The consequences are more acceptable to them than the results of not breaking the law at all, and are more beneficial to them. They are also willing to accept sanctions after minor violations. After weighing the pros and cons, they are all adults, just do it gone."
Gu Xuehan looked at Qi Xi, and smiled slyly: "The position I am speaking now is as your lawyer, and you are just my client."
She looked at Qi Xi: "What is the legal responsibility for personal privacy infringement?"
It is to stop the infringement, restore the reputation, make an apology, and compensate for the loss.
but…
Unless the essence is speculation, other than that, there is no personal privacy infringement case that can really completely restore the reputation, because the spread of privacy gossip is always faster than everything else. However, the personal privacy infringement case is not a vicious criminal incident such as murder and arson, and the punishment itself is not unbearable.
This is why many wives who have been cheated, even if they will be sued by the mistress for violating personal privacy, will not hesitate to let the whole world know what shameless things the mistress has done.
What's more, not every mistress has such a thick skin, and has the courage to sue the original partner for violating personal privacy.
When Gu Xuehan mentioned this, Gu Yan understood, and Qi Xi also understood.
Qi Xi looked at Gu Xuehan: "Lawyer Gu, I understand. What you mean is that since my father's most precious thing is his son, and I happen to have some information about his son, if I use his son when negotiating His son as a bargaining chip, maybe in exchange for his concession on the division of property?"
Gu Xuehan nodded: "That's right. This is not asking you to do illegal and criminal things, but when you and your father sit at the negotiating table, he can't figure out what you will do. You just need to calm him down and scare him. Let him believe that you will really do this, the more he cares about his son, the more he is afraid of you, and the more he will give up the initiative."
Although Qi Xi hasn't relaxed for a moment since what happened to Qi Ruiming, thinking about confronting the treacherous and cunning Qi Ruiming is even more stressful, but in such a critical situation, Gu Xuehan always has the ability to make a difference, she sees She seemed to be able to do a job with ease, so that this kind of emotion infected Qi Xi, and gradually made her tense heart calm down.
"Do you understand what I mean? It's not really necessary that you go to illegally distribute his son's private information, just use this to negotiate, but before you introduce this as a bargaining chip, you have to be mentally prepared and give you Your father conveyed this message: You are not just bluffing a shot, but you will really do it if the negotiation breaks down. Because at least with this kind of momentum, you can suppress your father's arrogance and let him Only by believing can he make him afraid of you."
Gu Xuehan paused, and looked into Qi Xi's eyes: "Qi Xi, your father may not be the most professional in legal operations, but he must be more experienced than you in observing words and demeanor. If you show timidity in negotiations , he will be able to figure out your hole cards, knowing that you are just talking about wanting to ruin his son's reputation, but in reality you can't do such a thing at all, then he will not give in on the division of property, so you You must not let him see your true intentions, you have to act like he has no bottom line."
Qi Xi finally understood the logic of what Gu Xuehan said earlier.
Actually, ask yourself, if Qi Ruiming's illegitimate child is used as a bargaining chip and the negotiation still fails, it is absolutely unacceptable for Qi Ruiming to watch Qi Ruiming take away most of the property in the marriage and live a happy life with his mistress and illegitimate child thing.
In her simple values, people who do such wrong things will be punished, and there is absolutely no ending that can not only not pay the price, but also take advantage of the benefits.
So if Qi Ruiming doesn't back down, Qi Xi won't let him and his son back down.
Only with the determination to fight to the death can one go all out and overwhelm Qi Ruiming in momentum.
Seeing Qi Xi's expression, Gu Xuehan knew that her advice was in place: "As for grasping the boundaries and not being caught by him, I don't need to say more? Remember, you are negotiating, not blackmailing. Pay attention to your wording, you are going to protect the legal rights of your own mother."
Qi Xi nodded vigorously: "So relying on this, can he get out of the house?"
Facing Qi Xi's question, Gu Xuehan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, then shook her head: "Qi Xi, you have another misunderstanding here."
"First of all, what we are going to do is negotiate the division of property. Since it is a negotiation, you must not only know what the other party cares about most, but also know the bottom line of the other party. Take procurement as an example. If your purchaser treats you The unit price of the goods can be up to 100 yuan per piece, so as long as your quotation is within 100 yuan and your goods are irreplaceable, they will eventually buy them, but if it exceeds 100 yuan, they will buy this batch After the goods are processed and then sold, there will be no profit. Then no matter how irreplaceable your goods are, they will not buy them. If they exceed the budget, not only will they not generate profits, but they will also lose money. Who will buy them? ? This is not in line with normal business logic.”
"The core of the negotiation is to find out the bottom line of the other party, but it cannot exceed the bottom line. It is still necessary to leave room for the other party, otherwise the negotiation will collapse."
Gu Xuehan vividly used the relationship between suppliers and purchasers as a metaphor, and Qi Xi quickly understood the deep meaning of her words—
In the joint property within the marriage, because his mother is a full-time wife, no matter what, the capital contribution is basically Qi Ruiming's income. Because he has a major fault and his son's information is being manipulated, perhaps the first is to protect himself and himself. The son's reputation, the second heart still has some guilt, and may indeed be willing to make major concessions in the partition.
But once Qi Xi wants him to leave the house without getting a penny, Qi Ruiming is probably unwilling to accept it in his heart, and it may arouse his resistance and non-cooperation, and finally make troubles where the fish are dead and the net is broken—Qi Xi may have to In order to balance his heart, he would do something to damage the reputation of Qi Ruiming, his son and Xiaosan, and pay the corresponding price for it; Qi Ruiming would also refuse to negotiate after tearing his face, and go through the process of suing for divorce. In the long-term wrangling, Xi Wen will not be able to get more than the negotiated divorce, and even a completely unfair ratio.
"My suggestion is that you discuss it with your mother and don't use the plan of leaving the house. For example, if you have multiple properties in your family, you ask your mother to choose the ones with high value and convenient circulation. The rest of the market is not good. Shops that are difficult to profitably lease out should be divided up with Qi Ruiming, and we should give both kindness and strength, be strong, but seem to give in when necessary, so that it is easy to reach an agreement."
"As for your guess, he is still using other people's name to hold the real estate outside. I agree with your guess, but this part is currently in practice. Unless you have clues, there is really no way to verify it. I can only say that he planned this. The game of chess has been planned for ten years. It is unrealistic for you to overturn his entire chess game overnight. My suggestion is to give up on the part that we can't do anything to obtain evidence, and only strive for the part that can be seen. After all, the property in front of you should be preserved first, and the divorce can be negotiated smoothly, and it is also possible to investigate and collect evidence after that."
Yes, after all, the Civil Code stipulates that once there is concealment, transfer, sale, or damage to the joint property of the husband and wife during the divorce, the parties can pursue the lawsuit within two years from the day after the discovery. Settle, and then continue to liquidate afterwards.
Gu Yan also agrees with this very much: "After all, if you find someone else to hold the real estate on your behalf, it will take a long time to obtain evidence, so you should plan to pursue the lawsuit, and you can investigate more easily."
Gu Xuehan nodded, and added: "That's right, and in my opinion, what we need to negotiate now is to create a time lag, so that your father has no time to respond, and you are not sure how much information you know about him. When you are nervous and panic, you still have some leeway for him. He is easy to accept your plan when he is caught off guard. When we go through the agreed divorce process in a short and smooth manner and pass the divorce cooling-off period, the matter will be settled. It's safe, and as for him realizing that he was designed later, that's not going to happen."
Qi Xi understood.
Older gingers are more spicy.
Compared with Gu Xuehan, she is still too young, too impulsive and too simple, and her view of right and wrong is too extreme. When encountering something like Qi Ruiming, it is only natural that she hates it to the bone. In this world, no one can occupy all the benefits. If you want to get all the benefits and don't make any concessions, it will only cause greater losses in the end.
As a legal person, using legal tools well is not to obtain absolute victory, but to obtain the most cost-effective victory.
"Instead of going through the step of tearing your face and prosecuting like your father, and going through the enforcement of the first instance and the second instance, dragging on for several years, it is better to go directly to the route of divorce by agreement. Believe me, I have received a lot of divorce property division In this case, those female parties who chose a lengthy prosecution plan were all trapped in the long legal process and could not continue to start a new life." Gu Xuehan's voice was very gentle, "One can only welcome the past by saying goodbye to the past quickly. In the future, what your mother needs most is to get away from people like your father and get enough money to start a new life."
Yes, I am afraid that every time I see Qi Ruiming, it will be a second injury to my mother. I am constantly forced to recall and chew on the pain and resentment of being betrayed, and I will always be trapped in negative emotions. The best solution for mother at this moment is indeed what Gu Xuehan analyzed.
"Actually, if you really want to stretch the battle line and drag Qi Ruiming down completely, it's not impossible, but the energy, emotions and time you need to devote are not directly proportional to the results you get. Qi Ruiming can't lie down and let you guys Offensive, in the long period of mutual attacks and wrangling, not only will you be physically exhausted, but you will also be in a long-term hatred and negative emotions mentally. When a lawyer gives advice to a client, he must put himself in the client’s shoes and weigh the situation for the client. Customize the best solution."
"Money is very important, but the most important thing in a person's life is himself. In some disputes, it is not worth sacrificing one's future just to get more money; Because I was blinded by hatred or impulsive emotions, I entangled endlessly, and what I missed in the end was the current life instead.”
"Qixi, I will grant you five days of vacation. When you need Gu Yan, you can also ask him to cooperate with you directly. During these five days, you go to your father and settle the matter. After five days, I will To see you come back to work refreshed and refreshed."
Gu Xuehan's eyes fixed on Qi Xi's, and she said solemnly: "Can you do it?"
Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lower lip, met Gu Xuehan's gaze, and nodded seriously: "Yes, I can do it."
