After the video call ended, Ruan Yu closed his laptop, feeling as tired as if he had just run 800 meters.

At the end of the call, Xu Huaisong asked her to make a preliminary comparison of the works of the two parties based on the directions mentioned just now, combined with the original anti-color palette, and organize them into documents, and asked her how long it would take.

After she estimated, she said three days.

This estimate is based on the speed of the chicken blood, and the "old cervical spine" will have to work hard all the way. Ruan Yu is already mentally prepared, but Xu Huaisong seems to be very busy, saying that he will have time to follow up with her after a week case.

She relaxed her self-requirements, and even accepted Shen Mingying's invitation to go out after finishing her work on the seventh day.

Shen Mingying dragged her out to go shopping and relax, and she deliberately didn't mention anything bad along the way, but instead asked her if she was cheating in front of Xu Huaisong.

She had a look of "the world is not worth it" and said: "No, but tomorrow I will have a video again..."

Shen Mingying laughed until the branches trembled.

The two of them wandered around for a whole day, with large and small bags on their arms, before going back home in the evening, they arrived at the last battle field perfume counter.

Shen Mingying was still full of energy, so she rushed in excitedly, randomly ordered two bottles for Ruan Yu to try, and then went to choose her own.

The shopping guide came forward, gave the introductory speech, sprayed the perfume on the test paper, shook it twice and handed it to Ruan Yu's nose.

The floral and fruity perfume, the top notes of citrus and green lemon fruit are refreshing, like the taste of midsummer in memories, clear and bright, and brewing a hint of bitterness that will eventually come true.

It was quite comfortable at first, but the moment Ruan Yu lowered his head, he froze.

It wasn't because of the fragrance, but because she felt a chill down her back, as if someone was watching her behind her.

The shopping guide saw her meal, mistakenly thought that she didn't like the taste, and picked up another bottle instead.

She took advantage of the situation and glanced back, but found nothing wrong, and Shen Mingying, who was not far away, was trying her scent and tried her best.

Ruan Yu suppressed his doubts, and after trying a few bottles in a row, the creepy discomfort became more and more intense.

She waved to the shopping guide to signal that she didn't need it for the time being, and was about to walk to Shen Mingying's place when she suddenly heard a surprised female voice behind her: "Sister Ruan, it's really you!"

Ruan Yu turned around and saw a thin, white and petite girl waving to her with a LV "lunch bag".

It was a bit familiar, but not to the point of being recognizable at a glance, she hesitated and said, "Excuse me, are you?"

The little girl seemed to be frustrated for a moment, but she quickly picked up her interest and came forward: "I'm Cen Sisi, senior sister, don't you remember me?"

Cen Sisi? Ruan Yu's brain was running fast, and he was stunned for a while before he pieced together the tiny bits of memory.

Oh, it seems to be a direct school girl who is three years younger than her. At the beginning, she met in the school association. As a senior "old man", she participated in the new orientation meeting, and chatted a little more when she met someone from the same department. But after that, apart from meeting and saying hello on the road, there was no special communication.

Cen Sisi laughed so hard that she showed a pair of canine teeth: "It's been a long time, I just peeked at you for a long time, and I was afraid of admitting my mistake!" After a pause, he said, "I didn't expect you to stay in Hangzhou after graduation."

At this point, Shen Mingying came over after picking out the perfume. When she was in college, she was in a different school from Ruan Yu in the same city, so she didn't know Cen Sisi. Ruan Yu introduced the two sides.

The three of them blocked a section of the passage, and Ruan Yu hurriedly avoided pedestrians passing by.

Cen Sisi also seemed to realize that this is not the place to talk, and said, "Senior Ruan, it's such a coincidence that we meet, let's go up to the top floor and sit down?"

Ruan Yu glanced at Shen Mingying. Just now, the two of them expected to return after picking out the perfume, but Shen Mingying had already contacted her boyfriend to pick it up, and it was estimated that it would be here soon.

"Then you catch up on the old days, and I'll leave first?" She made a quick decision, "I'll take the big and small bags back to your apartment, anyway."

Her boyfriend came by car, but Ruan Yu didn't show any courtesy to her, and turned around and went to a dessert shop on the top floor with Cen Sisi.

In fact, she didn't think there was any "oldness" between the two of them, so she couldn't stop the enthusiasm, so she invited her to have some desserts and chat about the current situation.

Because she doesn't think she is familiar with it, she doesn't talk much. When asked about her career, she answered vaguely: "It's a freelance job."

Cen Sisi let out a "wow", "Could it be a writer?"

This association is not unexpected, because both of them are from the Chinese Department.

Ruan Yu said: "Not really, just an ordinary writer." Because she didn't want to be asked about her pen name, she took the initiative after speaking and changed the subject, "What about you, what job did you find after graduation?"

Cen Sisi bit the straw, a little embarrassed: "I, I work at home and company."

Just as Ruan Yu was about to say, "It's pretty good," the phone rang.

It's Liu Mao calling.

Afraid of something urgent, she got up and said, "Excuse me, just answer the phone."

Cen Sisi glanced at the words "Lawyer Liu" on her screen, and nodded, "Why are you polite, you are busy."

Ruan Yu went to answer the phone outside the store, and heard the other end say: "I just got the news from the court, and the case has progressed to the addition of the defendant."

Liu Mao was efficient in handling affairs. He submitted a complaint to the court six days ago and applied for an investigation order. The object of the prosecution was Weibo at first. After the court accepted and filed the case, it required the platform to provide information about the infringer. It is impossible for the operator to assume responsibility on its behalf and must cooperate with the investigation.

Now he probably has the identity information of the writer "Su Cheng".

"It's good that it goes well, thank you for your hard work." Ruan Yu said.

"Why are you being polite? I'm not here to claim credit, but to ask you personally. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but you may know the defendant."

Ruan Yu was taken aback: "Know?"

"Yes, I heard from Uncle Ruan that you graduated from Hangzhou University, right? The defendant is in the same department as you, three years behind you, and his name is Cen Sisi. Do you have any impression?"

Ruan Yu: "..."

This dog blood really came unexpectedly.

She subconsciously turned her head towards the French windows of the dessert shop. Cen Sisi was biting her straw and looking at her, and smiled at her when she saw her look.

The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the apricot eyes are dripping.

Ruan Yu smiled back at her, and when Liu Mao asked "what's the matter", he turned his eyes and said, "...I'm eating dessert with her."

Now it was Liu Mao who choked.

She calmed down, told the story again, and asked, "You mean, maybe it's not a coincidence from the Internet violence to today's encounter?"

Speaking of this, before Liu Mao could answer, she herself shuddered and got goosebumps.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"But I don't remember having any trouble with her at school..."

"Thinking in good faith, maybe it's just a coincidence, but even if it's not, don't panic. Tell me first, does she know who you're talking to?"

Ruan Yu recalled: "Maybe you saw the note I gave you, it said 'Lawyer Liu'."

"Then you talk to her frankly."

Ruan Yu frowned. She hasn't recovered yet, and she's about to swing a knife

"If she doesn't know your pseudonym, since you have this relationship, then I suggest private mediation to strive for a settlement plan that maximizes your interests, which is better than going to court. Litigation is too time-consuming, compared to other In case of lawsuits, it is especially advisable to protect the right of reputation sooner rather than later."

"But if she has bad intentions from the beginning, then the word 'Lawyer Liu' is enough to make her guess what you are planning. Besides, she should have received a notice from the court in the past two days, and you will have to open the skylight soon." , now there is no longer the problem of scaring the snake... "

Liu Mao explained in detail that after Ruan Yu hung up the phone, he bravely opened the door and went back to the Shura field.

These days, it's really getting more and more unreal.

She recalled all the conflicts she had with "Su Cheng" in recent years, trying to correspond those entanglements with this direct school girl. : "Sister, what's the matter with you? Your face is so ugly."

Ruan Yu smiled dryly, sat down, closed his eyes, and cut to the point, "Junior girl, do you have a pseudonym named Su Cheng in Jinjiang?"

Cen Sisi's eyes widened in shock: "Sister, are you a fairy?"

She cleared her throat: "I'm not a fairy, I'm Wen Xiang."

Cen Sisi knocked his chin to the rim of the glass, grinned his teeth and rubbed it with his hands, his eyes burst into tears from the pain, and it took him a long time to recover, and said, "Senior sister, are you kidding me?"

Ruan Yu was silent, swiped away his phone, and showed her the Jinjiang page.

She was dumbfounded: "The world is too small!" After speaking, she probably remembered the bloody storm on the Internet, "Then senior sister, on Weibo before... I, I calm down..."

After she finished speaking, she kept fanning herself with her palms, her face was flushed, and she sat up straight after a long time: "Senior sister, this is a big misunderstanding. If I had known that Wen Xiang was you, I would definitely not have sent that message." Long Weibo…”

Ruan Yu took control of the scene according to Liu Mao's reminder, gained the upper hand, and said, "Why?"

"How could you do such a thing as plagiarism!" She seemed more indignant than Ruan Yu's book fans, but was soon discouraged, "Senior sister, are you suing me?"

Ruan Yu listened to Liu Mao and nodded without shy away.

She pursed her mouth: "Well, I was originally sorry for you..."

"I didn't want to make a big deal. If you think it's a misunderstanding, we can also consider reconciliation." Ruan Yu squeezed out a kind smile.

"Really, senior sister?" Cen Sisi let out a long breath, "That would be great, let my dad know about this, and don't scold me to death. If you are willing to forgive me, I will definitely apologize to you publicly and try to eliminate it. Negative impact on you, I will never be stupid again... Even if you ask me to make up for it, I will... "

"It's a big deal," Ruan Yu smiled and interrupted her grand ambitions, "But I don't understand the reconciliation procedure, so I have to ask a lawyer to talk to you. Do you have time tomorrow Monday?"

Cen Sisi looked distressed: "I may not be able to leave the company's one-day meeting, or the day after tomorrow?"

"OK."

"The courthouse..."

"I can contact them to suspend the process, don't worry."

Cen Sisi wrung her fingers and nodded, lowering her head and not daring to look at her.

Seeing that she was so embarrassed, Ruan Yu exchanged WeChat and mobile phone numbers with her, and then found an excuse to go home.

When she arrived at the apartment, she called Liu Mao and told the story of the conversation.

In the last phone call, Liu Mao taught her to talk less and observe more. After listening, he asked, "In your opinion, did the defendant lie?"

Ruan Yu didn't want to think she was lying. Because if this is the case, looking back at the past few years, it is really frightening to think carefully.

But: "It's hard to say... Her series of reactions gave me the feeling that I was using too much force."

"I understand." Liu Mao reassured, "It's okay, you've done a good job, and I'll do the rest... and Lawyer Xu."

Upon hearing Xu Huaisong's name, Ruan Yu remembered the "battle" that was going to be fought tomorrow morning, and asked, "Now that the situation has changed, will the work at Lawyer Xu continue?"

Liu Mao pondered for a while: "I will explain the situation to him, and come as planned for now."

"All right."

Ruan Yu sighed, hung up the phone, physically and mentally exhausted, went to bed early after taking a shower, and fell into the fear of being dominated by Xu Huaisong on time at eight o'clock the next day.

Because she was thinking about Cen Sisi, when she connected to the video, she was not in a high mood, and said absently to the camera, "Morning, Lawyer Xu."

Xu Huaisong was still in the study room last time, looking out the window lightly: "It's getting late."

She immediately realized that she had said something stupid and gave a dry laugh.

Xu Huaisong looked at her, picked up the documents at hand, and said in a neutral tone, "I've read the documents."

The document was sent to him by Ruan Yu before going out yesterday. "Do you see a problem?" she asked.

Just as Xu Huaisong was about to answer, he suddenly caught a glimpse of WeChat, and saw that it was Xu Huaishi again. He didn't intend to respond, but his eyes glanced at the first part of her sentence: "Brother, that Su Cheng actually..."

Seeing that it was business, he had no choice but to say "wait" to Ruan Yu, and clicked on the message.

Ruan Yu was bored listening to the ups and downs of his message, until a quarter of an hour later, she found that her own message was on the same frequency as his.

Click on WeChat and see that it was Liu Mao who pulled them into a group.

He was posting pictures in the group, three in a row, the small picture was the private message interface of Weibo, and a sentence was attached at the end: "You two, look at this."

Ruan Yu opened the big picture and was immediately laughed out of anger.

This is a screenshot of a chat record from "Writing a Poet". The first picture shows that a Weibo account claiming to be "Su Cheng" contacted her, suggesting that she sue "Wen Xiang" for copyright infringement, and There are a whole host of benefits to doing this.

"Writing a poet" implied that he did not believe that she was "Su Cheng". In order to convince her, "Su Cheng" had no choice but to send a message in a large size to prove it.

Ruan Yu lost control of the image of a lady in a fit of anger, pointed at the screen and said, "Is it really green tea?"

Xu Huaisong's expression froze obviously.

Realizing that she had lost her composure, she stroked her bangs unnaturally: "Sorry, I'm excited."

But Xu Huaisong just blinked his eyes twice and asked, "Green tea?"

He probably doesn't care much about domestic Internet buzzwords. Ruan Yu coughed lightly, and said solemnly, "It's green tea. My friend just sent me a link for online shopping, haha..."

Xu Huaisong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, then closed it again, and then opened Baidu.

Ruan Yu continued to click on the next two screenshots.

The chat record is the in-depth negotiation between "Su Cheng" trumpet and "Write Poet". In the end, the latter said, she would contact a lawyer and consider the suggestion in good faith.

But now that this chat record is in Liu Mao's hands, Ruan Yu thinks that "writing poets" should be her ally, and the phrase "sincerely considering" is probably a bluff.

She asked Xu Huaisong: "Lawyer Liu taught her to say that?"

Xu Huaisong wanted to say "it's him", but couldn't, so he nodded, "Maybe."

As the principal agent, it is not surprising that Liu Mao has contacts with the key person in the case, the "poet writer". Ruan Yu didn't think much about it, and asked, "Then what should we do next?"

"Ask Liu Mao." After he finished speaking, he was busy typing with his head down, without looking at her.

Ruan Yu didn't care too much, and sent a message in the group to ask Liu Mao.

After two full minutes, he replied: "If you are angry, block Cen Sisi's WeChat account."

"..." This kind of elementary school students lose their temper, can't vent their anger

She was just about to say euphemistically whether this would be too impulsive, when Xu Huaisong sent a message in the group: "Are you a primary school student?"

Zhikun Liumao: "... Then what do you say?"

Xu Huaisong: "Go and assist the parties in the preservation of online evidence."

Zhikun Liumao: "...Okay, then what?"

Xu Huaisong: "It's none of your business."

Ruan Yu once again felt that the relationship between Xu Huaisong and Liu Mao was really not good.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere in the group, she typed: "Please, Lawyer Liu!"

Liu Mao didn't even reply "You're welcome" and fell silent.

Over there, Xu Huaisong knocked on the table to draw her attention back: "Do you have the defendant's phone number?"

She nodded: "Yes."

"Will there be a recording forensics meeting?"

Ruan Yu was taken aback, and quickly understood what he meant.

If it were really like what Liu Mao said, it would be silly to break up with Cen Sisi right away. She should pretend to be ignorant and talk to her. In this way, in addition to the chat record of "writing poets", she would have one more time in the court trial. supporting evidence.

After thinking this through, Ruan Yu couldn't help admiring Xu Huaisong's intelligence, thinking that he was more reliable than Liu Mao, so he sat up straight and said, "Not very good, can you teach me?"

"Um."

On the other side, Liu Mao leaned lonely on the swivel chair, watched the private conversation he had with Xu Huaisong a few minutes ago, and sighed.

Xu Huaisong: "Later she will ask you what to do next, and you can just say blackmail the defendant to vent your anger."

Zhikun Liumao: "Why? Can you show some professionalism of a lawyer? At this time, we should collect evidence."

Xu Huaisong: "I know, you just answer as I say."

The author has something to say: But what did we Mao Mao do wrong? The tenth day's red envelope is for poor Mao Mao.

Song Song: What is the green tea whore that Baidu mentioned

Mao Mao: Hehe, you will know when you look in the mirror.
