Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

"Hello, I made an appointment with Dr. Zhao for a consultation this morning."

Le Yun came to the hospital early in the morning and said politely to the receptionist at the front desk.

The nurse in charge of the reception quickly checked the record and said, "Hello, Ms. Le, Dr. Zhao is in Clinic 3. You can go there now."

Le Yun nodded and said thank you, then walked towards Clinic 3 and opened the door——

When Dr. Zhao saw it was her, he greeted her cordially.

"I'm here for a routine check-up. I'll give you a test sheet first."

"Dr. Zhao," Le Yun's voice was calm and serious, "I found out that Zhang Xiao was cheating on me, and I can't rule out the possibility of soliciting prostitution. I need to do a comprehensive examination for myself. In addition -" Le Yun paused, "I Still need to take a pregnancy test.”

Dr. Zhao obviously did not expect Le Yun to give him such an opening statement. The hand that was still writing the checklist stopped moving. He looked at Le Yun for a moment and nodded.

Soon a lot of checklists were issued.

"I'll ask the nurse to take you for a checkup. If you need any help from me, just ask."

Le Yun forced a smile. Although it might be an innocuous and polite word, it still made her feel a little kindness and comfort.

After walking out of the hospital gate, Le Yun quickly got into the car. As soon as she fastened her seat belt, her cell phone rang.

"Hey, sister, I have arrived at Fudong Community now, where are you?"

"I've just finished my work and I'm coming right now. Have you brought the contract? If there are no problems, I want to sign it on the spot."

When the real estate agent heard this, you could feel his excitement through the screen.

"No problem, no problem, sister. The contract is ready. As long as you are satisfied, there is no problem in signing the contract on the spot. The house I found for you fully meets your requirements and is absolutely reliable..."

"I'm going over now to meet and talk."

Le Yun didn't want to listen to the intermediary's nagging, so she closed the call directly.

The BMW roared and sped away.

"Sister, look, this apartment has a square floor plan, complete supporting facilities, and convenient commuting. The community environment, property services and security all meet your requirements." The agent introduced enthusiastically.

Le Yun took a quick look and was basically satisfied.

"That's it," she told the agent, "take out the lease and I'll sign and pay."

It was the first time I met such a happy customer. The agent hurriedly took out the lease, and Leyun signed and scanned the QR code to pay.

"That's it, sister, I'll give you the key."

Leyun took the key and threw it into the Birkin.

Having finished two things that were hanging on her mind in a row in the morning, Le Yun felt that her blocked chest was slightly loosened.The car turned around the intersection and drove towards Zonghan Law Firm.

Lowering the window, the slightly cold wind blew in, and Le Yun felt transparent and comfortable.

Soon, they arrived at the parking lot under the office building. Leyun parked the car, entered the elevator, and went upstairs.

The conference hall on the second floor of Zonghan Law Firm.

Le Yun tapped the pen in her hand, filled with doubts. She couldn't have remembered wrongly. She agreed to have a meeting at 2 p.m., and looked at her watch. It was already 2:20, so how could she still be the only one in the conference room.After so many years of working in the office, this was the first time such a situation had occurred.

Le Yun took out her mobile phone and started sending a WeChat message to her colleague An Daiqing:

Le Yun: Dai Qing, didn’t you announce the meeting at 14:00?Why am I the only one in the conference room? Where are you?

An Daiqing: (face covering expression) We have already started, you are already 15 minutes late, eldest sister.

Le Yun: Impossible!I'm in the conference room, alone.

An Daiqing: Which floor are you in the conference room on?We are on the third floor.

"Damn it!" Le Yun cursed in her heart, picked up the notebook on the table, picked up the tote bag containing the computer, and ran to the office on the third floor.

Sure enough, everyone is here.

Le Yun quickly found an empty seat in the corner and sat down.The boss, Chen Zonghan, was lecturing everyone. He glanced at Le Yun and nodded slightly at her.

"The Hitotsubashi Group is the most important client since the establishment of our law firm. Winning it means establishing our position as a top law firm in the industry. Moreover, I believe there is no need to remind everyone that you all know that signing the Hitotsubashi Group is very important for us. What impact will your year-end bonus have?”

Hearing this, almost all the lawyers in the conference room laughed.

"But..." Chen Zonghan paused and his tone turned serious, "I must emphasize that Hitotsubashi Group fired the law firm that previously served him because it felt that they were not attentive enough. So from now on, , without my approval, everyone canceled their vacation. In addition, we need to rearrange the cases we are responsible for to ensure that our top lawyers can be free to serve Hitotsubashi Group. Eddie, you are responsible for preparing the road again Assign testimony in the case. Wang Dong, take over the defendant Zhang Yao is in charge of. Li Xiao, the legal aid case will be left to you."

Several people whose names were called nodded, indicating that it was okay.

"Others -" Chen Zonghan's eyes were blazing, "go all out and show our strongest strength to Hitotsubashi Group."

Chen Zonghan raised his wrist to check the time, "If everyone has no other questions, let the meeting adjourn and go about your business."

Everyone stood up and walked out of the conference room one after another.Chen Zonghan and several people were walking and chatting.

"Zong Han!" Le Yun called him from behind.

Chen Zonghan stopped and turned around to see her.

Leyun walked forward quickly.

"Is something wrong?"

Le Yun nodded.

"Then come to my office to talk."

The two of them walked towards Chen Zonghan's office together.

Chen Zonghan is Leyun’s senior fellow in the Law Department of Northern University. Zonghan Law Firm was founded by him. He personally interviewed and recruited Leyun, and then personally brought her out after joining the law firm. They have both friendship and friendship with each other. As a teacher and student, Le Yun had great trust in Chen Zonghan, and Chen Zonghan also loved and cared for this junior sister more than others.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Chen Zonghan looked at Le Yun's hesitant and worried look, took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to her. "Sit down and speak slowly."

Le Yun bit her lip and made up her mind:

"Brother, I want you to be my representative lawyer. What I say to you next must be kept confidential. Especially my colleagues in the law firm. I don't have the energy to deal with everyone's concern and sympathy right now."

Chen Zonghan nodded. His excellent professionalism made him look at things particularly keenly. Combined with Le Yun's unusual look and attitude, he realized that what Le Yun wanted to tell him was unusual.

Could it be that something went wrong with Zhang Xiao's company?

Le Yun sat down on the chair in front of Chen Zonghan's desk and didn't speak for a long time.

Chen Zonghan waited patiently for Le Yun, without any intention of urging her.finally--

"I would like to ask you to be my lawyer. I want to divorce Zhang Xiao."

Chen Zonghan was shocked. Although he was mentally prepared, Le Yun's words still surprised him.

In his impression, Le Yun and Zhang Xiao had always had a good relationship.Colleagues also portrayed Le Yun as a loving couple with a happy family.

I didn't hear any rumors, why did it suddenly come to the point of divorce.

Although he was surprised, Chen Zonghan didn't ask anything.He knew that the last thing Le Yun needed right now was inquiring under the guise of concern.

More importantly, he understood Le Yun. She was not the kind of person who would turn the world upside down over a trivial matter, get into a rage, and seek life and death.

If she hadn't hit the bottom line, she wouldn't have thought of divorce.So, he spoke:

"Okay." He said simply.

Le Yun picked up the water in her hand, unscrewed the bottle cap, raised her head and drank several sips in succession.It was like putting the burned skin into an ice bucket. The cold water flowed down her throat, calming every nerve in her that was so tense that it was about to break.

"Don't you ask why?" She raised her eyes.

"What you want to say will come naturally." Chen Zonghan's tone was as calm as usual.

Le Yun calmed down and roughly stated the whole story.She was worried that she would cry, break down, or even lose her temper.

What surprised her was that from beginning to end, she was very calm and restrained, as if all her tears had been shed after last night.

It is said that the tears shed are just the water that entered the brain before, and it is good to drain them.

Le Yun thought to herself.

About a few months ago, Le Yun mentioned the idea of ​​leaving her job to Chen Zonghan. The reason was that she wanted to focus on preparing for pregnancy. After having a child, she planned to focus her life on her family.

Chen Zonghan was quite surprised at that time. He knew how much Le Yun loved the lawyer profession.

When chatting privately with other partners, he never hesitated to praise this fellow junior: "Other lawyers' professional qualities are basically acquired through hard training, but Le Yun is different. She is a born lawyer."

If someone teases him about whether he is "sexy and mentally retarded", Chen Zonghan will always say with a straight face that he is "promoting talents and not avoiding relatives".

Le Yun's performance did not disappoint Chen Zonghan's affirmation.

Since joining the company, her performance has been impeccable.Almost all colleagues tacitly understood that as long as Le Yun continued to work, the position of partner was only a matter of time.

With such a bright and smooth road, Le Yun was able to let go for Zhang Xiao.

Chen Zonghan knew how important Zhang Xiao was to Le Yun's heart, and how devastated she felt now.Beneath her sane and calm exterior, her nerves may well be on the verge of disconnection.

Chen Zonghan cleared his throat and got straight to the point: "Since I am your lawyer, I would like to give you two suggestions. First, we need to collect evidence of Zhang Xiao's cheating - substantive evidence that can be recognized by the court." See Le Yun intentionally interrupted and waved his hand, "Zhang Xiao, as the faulty party in the marriage, must be punished as he deserves, and you must advocate for more interests."

Le Yun nodded.

"Second, you told me before that Zhang Xiao's company is planning to go public, and the company's market value will increase tremendously after it goes public. As long as the cake is big enough, even if you can get only a small corner, it will not matter. Very impressive. I am your lawyer and I want to fight for your best interests. Therefore, I suggest that it is best to wait until Zhang Xiao’s company is listed before filing for divorce. In addition-"

Chen Zonghan paused, "Have you ever thought about the clients who signed contracts with us through Zhang Xiao's introduction? If you get divorced, will these clients leave? If they leave, other partners may be dissatisfied. .”

"Are you worried about influencing me to become a partner?"

Chen Zonghan did not speak, but quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, the soldiers will come to stop you. Deal with the matter in front of you first -"

He turned around and took out an information bag from the bookcase and handed it to Le Yun's hand.

Le Yun opened it and saw that it was a file.

"This is the first case that Lu Yin, the president of Hitotsubashi Group, has entrusted us to handle."

Le Yun lowered her head and read the file.

This was a murder case. Zhao Bin, the boss of Luheng Investment Company, was shot dead in an underground garage. The police quickly launched an investigation and quickly identified the murderer - bodyguard and driver Li Wenjie.

According to the description in the file, Zhao Bin was shot at close range with a pistol, and the police captured Li Wenjie at the crime scene.According to records in the file, there were blood stains on his clothes when he was arrested, and his fingerprints were on the murder weapon.

The chain of evidence is complete, and everything proves that Li Wenjie is the murderer.

Any lawyer who sees such a case will feel that there will be no room for maneuver. However, Lu Yin, the president of Hitotsubashi Group, paid a sky-high legal fee to hire Chen Zonghan's law firm to defend Li Wenjie's innocence.

"This case requires a not guilty plea..." Le Yun flipped through the file and shook her head. "It's not easy to handle. However, it seems that Li Wenjie is an ordinary grassroots employee at Luheng Investment, and he is merged with Hitotsubashi Group. It doesn't matter, why does Lu Yin spend so much money on an irrelevant bodyguard?"

"Li Wenjie and Lu Yin grew up and have always been good friends. I heard from Lu Yin's secretary that Li Wenjie's parents died in an accident during his college entrance examination year. Li Wenjie later was admitted to a sports school, and all the expenses were paid It was Lu Yin. After the accident, Lu Yin visited Li Wenjie, and he repeatedly emphasized to Lu Yin that he was unjustly accused. Lu Yin decided to find the best lawyer to help him fight this lawsuit. "

"So the case is in our hands."

"That's right." Chen Zonghan nodded. "Please take a good look at the relevant information on this case. Hitotsubashi Group is crucial to the future development of our law firm. If you need to redeploy manpower, please contact me at any time."

"You mean, leave this case to me?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

"No, no," Le Yun explained, "My current situation -."

"Don't have confidence in yourself?" Chen Zonghan smiled.

"A little bit, but more importantly, I'm worried that the other partners won't agree."

Chen Zonghan waved his hand, "I will explain it to the other partners. You just have to let go and win the case. I believe in your ability and even more trust in your own judgment."

Seeing that Le Yun was still hesitant, Chen Zonghan walked up to her, looked at her seriously and said, "Le Yun, you need to work more devotedly and carefully now than ever."

Le Yun nodded.As smart as she is, she fully understands Chen Zonghan's good intentions.The importance of Hitotsubashi Group to the company is self-evident. If it can help Lu Yin win this lawsuit, it will add a decisive weight to her promotion to partner.Moreover, even if the partner's matter is put aside, under the current circumstances, it would be good to have a case to divert her attention.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will try my best."

Le Yun picked up the documents and walked out of Chen Zonghan's office.

Looking at Le Yun's back, Chen Zonghan was thoughtful.
