Lawyer's character

The security door was opened, and a gentle-looking man in his thirties welcomed them in.

"Mr. Wen, this is my friend, Lawyer Fang." Li Shuming said.

"Hello, Lawyer Fang, my name is Wen Yang, and this house belongs to my parents. Our family is preparing to immigrate, so we plan to get rid of this house." Wen Yang said with a smile.

Wenyang is well-dressed, and there is a hint of the temperament of a superior person in his speech and behavior. You can tell at a glance that he is not an ordinary person.

While the three of them were talking, an old couple in their sixties came out and chatted with Fang Yi and Li Shuming for a while. Fang Yi could tell that the old couple had a lot of affection for this house and were somewhat reluctant to part with it.

It turned out that this old couple and his son Wen Yang often went to Hui Hui to spend money. They got acquainted with Li Shuming over time and were regarded as Hui Hui's old VIP customers. A few days ago, Li Shuming spread the news that he was buying an apartment for a friend, and Wen Yang's parents happened to come to Hui Hui for a bath and dinner. , after hearing about this, he came to the door.

Li Shuming hit it off with them and made an appointment to take Fang Yi to see the house.

Although the decoration of the house is a bit old, it does not delay its use. It can be seen that the family's living conditions are good. Although the decoration is relatively simple, all real materials are used. The floors are pure solid wood and the furniture in the house is all oak. Yes, there are photos of the family hanging on the wall. The four treasures of the study room are complete in the study room. The table is covered with rice paper. It can be seen that the old man prefers to write and write when he has nothing to do.

It is said that Li Shuming said that the old man used to be in the cultural system and had a generous retirement salary. Because Wen's family was eager to sell the house, after the two parties communicated, Wen Yang looked at Li Shuming's face and finally settled the transaction at 12,000 yuan per square meter. The total price was more than 1.4 million. Of course, all the fees incurred for the transfer were included. Fang Yi came to take charge.

Fang Yi first paid a deposit of 400,000 yuan. After half a month, when the procedures for going abroad are completed, the old couple will vacate the house and hand over the house at that time. Because they are going to settle abroad, the indoor furniture cannot be taken away, so all the furniture was priced and left to Fang Yi. The two parties agreed to go through the real estate transfer procedures on the first working day after New Year's Day. On the day of transfer, another 600,000 yuan would be paid, and the remaining amount would be paid in one lump sum on the day of vacating the house.

When Fang Yi arrived at the law firm the next day, he applied for a withdrawal from the accountant. While he was waiting to go through the process, Wan Kefa called him into the office.

"Xiao Fang, do you want to withdraw all the legal fees from the account?" Wan Kefa asked, playing with the purple clay pot.

After Wan Kefa saw Fang Yi's withdrawal application on the system, he knew that he must be in urgent need of money, otherwise he would not have withdrawn so much money at once, and he immediately had an idea.

If you want Fang Yi to be more closely bound to the team, in addition to praising him, you must also provide adequate benefits. Wan Kefa felt that if he gave him an interest-free loan at this time, he would definitely be grateful to him.

To put it bluntly, even if Fang Yi is a white-eyed wolf, Wan Kefa is not afraid that Fang Yi will not pay back the money, because he has more than 1.5 million in the law firm's account. As long as he handles cases in the future, legal fees will be indispensable. Year after year, I will definitely not lose money.

"Well, I'm planning to buy a house and I'm in a hurry to use the money." Fang Yi didn't hide anything.

"More than 1.5 million, if you withdraw it all at once, the personal tax will be a lot of money!" Wan Kefa reminded Fang Yidao.

"I can't help it, I don't have enough money." Fang Yi said with a grimace.

"How much money are you short of?" Wan Kefa put the purple clay pot in his hand on the table, raised his big eyelids and looked at Fang Yi.

"I only have more than 500,000 yuan in hand now. Yesterday I paid a deposit of more than 400,000 yuan. Not counting the tax on the real estate transfer, there is still a million yuan short." Fang Yi said.

"Well, how about I provide you with an interest-free loan of 1.5 million yuan, with a term of five years, and pay it back in one lump sum after maturity?

After you become a partner, you will have more items that can be deducted, and when you make withdrawals, you will get more money. "Wanke Dharma.

Since you really want to keep Fang Yi, you have to show some sincerity. Although you can't give him more than one million yuan, Wan Kefa can still make the repayment within five years.

He believes that providing help in times of need at this time is more practical than the icing on the cake in the future. He is not afraid that Fang Yi will regret it in the future, because he knows that Fang Yi is a person who talks about friendship and has a conscience, which is also Fang Yi's weakness.

This money can also be regarded as a test. If Fang Yi accepts it, it means that he has no second thoughts now and will not change jobs at least in the next few years. If he does not accept it, it is hard to say. He may already have a plan in mind. The Wanke method requires long-term planning.

"Thank you, thank you boss." Fang Yi nodded.

He knew that Wan Kefa was helping him. If the legal fees of more than one million yuan were really raised at once, and he would have to pay hundreds of thousands of personal taxes, to be honest, he would be heartbroken.

Yesterday, Li Shuming asked him if the money to buy the house was enough. Fang Yi thought that the law firm's account still had more than 1.5 million in legal fees. He suggested that it should be enough, so he did not borrow money from Li Shuming.

Yesterday, my mind was on the house and I didn't think about personal taxes. Today, Wan Kefayi talked about personal taxes. Fang Yi also thought it was a bit high. If the lawyer's fees are really raised and the taxes are deducted, after paying the purchase price, , maybe it won’t be enough to pay the deed tax for real estate transfer. Therefore, Wan Kefa's interest-free loan proposal today was like a timely help for Fang Yi. He just owed the fat old man a big favor. Fang Yi really didn't think much about the rest.

"Didn't I already tell you that when there is no one around, you are Xiao Fang and I am Lao Wan, don't call me boss, boss, as if I am the evil capitalist." Wan Kefa said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll draft a loan agreement." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Well, that's good. Brother Ming will settle the accounts. You give me an account and I'll transfer the money to you." Wan Kefa said with a smile.

In the afternoon, Fang Yi saw that 1.5 million yuan had been deposited into his bank account. He immediately felt relieved and waited until New Year's Day to transfer the property.

During the New Year's Day holiday, Fang Yi returned to his hometown.

Fang Anzhi has been staying at home these past few days, holding textbooks in his hands, but his mind is not on the books. He feels like grass has grown in his heart and is restless.

Fang Youcai took a leave of absence from the village, stayed with his grandson at home, and took him to the mountains to relax, but Fang Anzhi was still like that when he returned home. Fang Youcai could only sigh secretly, not knowing what to do.

After lunch, Fang Yi picked up a big broom and swept the snow in the yard. After shoveling all the snow outside the yard, he straightened up and wiped the sweat from his head.

Fang Youcai came to the gate, packed a bag of cigarettes, squatted on the steps of the gate, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Fang Yi glanced at the courtyard and saw that Fang Anzhi was not in the courtyard. He sighed softly: "It's hard to say. I probably won't be able to get out for a while."

"Hey! A good family has become like this now. The children are suffering!" Fang Youcai had a sad look on his face and puffed on his tobacco pipe.

"Don't worry about this damn thing." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he took the shovel and entered the hospital.

"I'm not worried about his mother, I'm worried about my grandson. This child is worried all day long, and I feel uncomfortable looking at him!...Hey!" Fang Youcai sighed.

The next morning, after breakfast, Fang Yi drove Fang Anzhi to the "villa" of the birthplace to relax.

The breeding scale of the birthing family has been expanded again. The sheep pen is twice as big as before, and the surrounding barbed wire fence has been expanded again. It has become a small farm.

In order to improve the environment, the village arranged several other sheep farmers to be near the birthplace. The distance was not far away, and basically everyone could hear if something happened.

There are two major advantages to doing this: firstly, the remoteness of this place can prevent raising sheep from polluting the environment of the village; secondly, the family has a child in this wilderness, and if something happens outside, there is no one to take care of it, which is troublesome. More families can help each other. Buying and selling sheep also facilitates communication.

Seeing the flocks of chickens and ducks and the flocks of sheep on Shengzi's small farm, Fang Yi was sincerely happy for him. Shengzi, who had been in poverty just a few years ago, seemed to have the capital to make a comeback.

There were many frozen persimmons placed on the north wall of the home where the baby was born. The wife who gave birth to the baby picked up a lot and thawed them in water before bringing them to Fang Anzhi. Fang Anzhi ate them with great joy and was in a good mood.

Shengzi called Fang Yi aside and handed him a paper bag: "Brother Yi, here is fifty thousand yuan. I sold a batch of sheep before New Year's Day and made some money."

"Shengzi, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to ask you for payment. I just want to bring my son here to relax. I'm not in a hurry to pay back my money. Have you paid back everyone else's money?" Fang Yi asked without taking the paper packet. .

"It's almost time to pay it back. The sheep market has been good this year, so I made a lot of money. I originally expected to pay you back in May or June, but it's too late." Shengzi said with a simple smile.

In the past few years, I have been working day and night to give birth. I have suffered a lot of hardships and suffered a lot of sins. I have become a little thin and out of shape, but I am very energetic. I have been looked down upon by others for so many years, and now I have finally turned around. Opportunity, could he not work hard?

"Okay, I'll accept the money." Fang Yi took the paper bag from Shengzi: "Although making money is important, your body is more important. You have to pay attention to your health."

"It's okay, I have a strong body. My wife said that I feel like I have been given chicken blood all day long. Although raising sheep is hard work, we don't have any skills or high education. What else can we do if we don't work hard.

I will never forget that winter night when you came to my house to give me money. Brother Yi, don’t say anything else. You will be my biological brother from now on. If anything happens, just let me know and I will do my best. " Iko said with tears in his eyes.

Fang Yi patted his arm: "Don't think so much, we are all from the same village, if I don't help you, who will I help?! Live a good life, the foreign debt is almost paid off, don't work too hard in the future. As long as people are here, everything will be fine possible."

Iko nodded.

It rains from the sky and flows from the ground. Some families are happy and some are sad.

The Cao family in the county town was now filled with sorrow. The pots and stoves were cold in the kitchen. Mr. Cao and his mother sat on the sofa and sighed.

"Smoke, smoke, you know how to smoke. Those who don't know think our house is on fire. You should think of something!" Mother Cao said angrily.

"What can I do!" Mr. Cao impatiently put out the cigarette butt, turned his back, took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Why don't you go find Fang Yi and see if he can do anything." Mother Cao hesitated for a long time and then said.

"Looking for Fang Yi?!" Mr. Cao looked at his wife in surprise.

"What's the matter? I asked around, and it is said that he is doing well in the city and specializes in criminal cases. If he takes action, maybe our daughter will be sentenced to a few years less in prison." Cao's mother said.

"If I want to find you, I have no shame. You looked down on her back then, and after they divorced, you didn't let him get close to Huihui, and you always found other ways to accuse her of her faults. Now something has happened, let me Licking my old face to find him... I want you to go, but I won't go anyway." Mr. Cao turned around angrily.

"Hey! I will get rid of the evil I did."

Cao's mother wanted to retort a few words, but after thinking about it, her husband was right. She had given Fang Yi a lot of shame in the past, but now that she is asking for help... she might as well go on her own, even if she doesn't care about her old face, she has to go. All for my daughter.

It is impossible to make the proud mother Cao bow her head, but no matter how arrogant a person is, she has a weakness. Cao Xiaohui is her weakness. In order to save her daughter, she will do anything. What does face mean? Is human life important? Is having a daughter’s freedom important? This is obvious.

Although Mr. Cao secretly scolded Cao Xiaohui for losing money, his living conditions have improved in the past two years, which has really put a lot of money on his face. The entire community knows that he has a daughter who is in charge of a large company.

"Hey! I'll go with you after the festival. It's our duty to help you. If we don't help you, don't act like a fool." Mr. Cao was afraid that his wife would be embarrassed by going to a big law firm in the city, so after much deliberation, he decided to go together. Good.

"What do you mean by rolling around! That's what I am!" Mother Cao looked at her husband with sharp eyes.

Mr. Cao opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent. Who in the entire neighborhood doesn’t know that Cao Xiaohui’s mother is a fierce person!

The three-day New Year's Day holiday passed quickly. Fang Anzhi continued to live in his hometown, and Fang Yi returned to the city.

On the morning of his first day at work, Fang Yi followed the Wen family to the Housing Authority, went through the property transfer procedures, and transferred the 600,000 yuan purchase price to them.

While Fang Yi was waiting to go through the formalities, Zhou Ying sent him a WeChat message saying that a pair of elderly people were looking for him without an appointment. The old man's surname was Cao.

Fang Yi knew as soon as he heard that it must be Cao Xiaohui's parents. The old couple came to the door for Cao Xiaohui's business. Fang Yi was waiting in line to be called to go through the formalities. For a while, he couldn't leave, so he told Zhou Ying that he had If I can’t go back, it will probably be in the afternoon.

The old couple of the Cao family, who were waiting on the sofa of the law firm, were muttering about what they would say when they saw Fang Yi for a while, when the little girl at the front desk came over.

"Mr. Cao, I'm sorry. Lawyer Fang Yi is not here. I just communicated with him and he will be back in the afternoon. Look..." the girl at the front desk said politely.

Hearing that Fang Yi was not here, Mr. Cao stood up and said, "Thank you, miss. Then we'll come back in the afternoon."

With a look of dissatisfaction on her face, Cao's mother got up and took the elevator downstairs with her husband.

Seeing that there was no one else in the elevator, Cao's mother complained: "Did you see that he turned away from anyone before he became a barrister? Why is he not in the law firm? I think he is deliberately embarrassing us."

"Stop complaining! Do you think that such a big law firm is like the law firm in our county? You can see whoever you want. People have many things to do, so it's normal if they are not in the law firm.

Before we come over in the afternoon, let's make a phone call and ask. We will learn from the experience. Mr. Cao frowned and said.

"Why don't we go back to Mr. Sun Zhengyi and old Mr. Sun? Anyway, Huihui has just been arrested. Let's consult him. If we can't, give him some money and ask him to send someone to see Huihui and ask about the situation. It will save us a lot of money. When you go to the city again and again, you still have to look at other people's faces." Cao's mother had an idea.

"That's okay! You told me earlier that I would go to the city this early in the morning..." Mr. Cao complained.

When Fang Yi finished the real estate transfer procedures and returned to the office, he didn't see the Cao family after waiting all afternoon. If he didn't come, he wouldn't come. It would be even more troublesome if he came.

When he was about to get off work in the evening, Son Zhengyi called him.

"Fang Yi, this is Director Sun. Are you busy?" Sun Zhengyi's voice came from the mobile phone.

"You're not busy, just tell me." Fang Yi said.

"Cao Xiaohui's parents came to the institute for consultation in the afternoon... did you know something happened to Cao Xiaohui?" Sun Zhengyi asked tentatively.

After all, they are all colleagues and have some mutual affection. Although the Cao family are Fang Yi's ex-parents-in-law, Sun Zhengyi feels that he should still communicate with Fang Yi.

"Well, I heard from Xiaozhi that his mother was arrested. I don't know exactly what happened. Her parents came to the law firm to look for me in the morning. I was not at the law firm that morning and didn't see her. Maybe they didn't find me. , I went back to the county to find you." Fang Yi said.

"Well, Cao Xiaohui's company may be involved in non-smoking. Do you know about this?" Sun Zhengyi said.

"We have been divorced for several years, and I really don't know." Fang Yi said honestly.

"I checked online and found that Cao Xiaohui's company was suspected of attracting more than 2 billion yuan in non-smoking money this time, with a funding gap of at least 500 million yuan, which is not a small amount!

Cao Xiaohui is a senior executive, I’m afraid that once she gets in, she will come out again..." Sun Zhengyi stopped mid-sentence.

Fang Yi understood what Sun Zhengyi meant, and he also checked the regulations.

According to the provisions of Article 176 of the Criminal Law: Whoever illegally absorbs public deposits or absorbs public deposits in disguised form and disrupts financial order shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also or solely be fined; if the amount is huge or there are other If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined; if the amount is particularly huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years and not less than a fine.

If a unit commits the crime in the preceding paragraph, the unit shall be fined, and the person directly in charge and other directly responsible personnel shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.

If the person commits the acts in the preceding two paragraphs and proactively returns the stolen goods and compensates before filing a public prosecution to reduce the damage, he may be given a lighter or reduced punishment.

Cao Xiaohui is the company's financial director, a proper executive. The amount of non-abduction involved in the company is so large this time. According to the law, the sentence will definitely start with ten years' imprisonment. If you actively return the stolen goods, your prison sentence may be reduced to less than ten years.

"Well, Director Sun, what suggestions do you have?" Fang Yi asked.

"I think there is no good way except to actively return the stolen money and cooperate with the investigation. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there will be no results in this case for a while. The police will have to investigate the source and whereabouts of the funds. It is estimated that it will not take more than a year and a half. The sentence cannot be decided," Son said.

"Well, you are right. I have seen several cases in our province, and they are basically the same as what you said. Just arrange for someone to handle it. To be honest, it is not appropriate for me to intervene in this case." Fang Yi said.

"I have no problem, but you also know that only Lee Myung-bak can take on this case, but his ability is limited. I was originally thinking of letting you help and jointly handle this case..." Son Zhengyi said.

Sun Zhengyi also has good intentions and is afraid that if the case is handled badly, his relationship with Fang Yi will be affected. Although Cao Xiaohui and Fang Yi are divorced, who knows if they are hooking up in private or if they are still in contact. After all, where is the child? Fang Yi often goes to Cao Xiaohui to pick up the child.

"Let's do this. I recommend my colleague Lawyer Song to you. You ask Li Mingbo and Lawyer Song to handle this case together. As for the Cao family... I'll trouble you. The fee is whatever it is." Fang Yi said.

"Okay, then you can give me my phone number to Lawyer Song and we will discuss it," Sun Zhengyi said.

In the afternoon, Fang Yi thought about it for a long time. He was really not suitable to be Cao Xiaohui's defense lawyer. Firstly, what was his previous relationship with Cao Xiaohui? Although there was no contact later, the judicial authorities must have scruples and fear of leaking the case; secondly, Fang Yi I don't want to meet the Cao family. So Sun Zhengyi took the case and introduced him to Lawyer Song to handle the case together. It was good!

After making the call, Fang Yi went to the tea room upstairs with Lawyer Song. Lawyer Song is a chubby male lawyer. He has been working as a lawyer since graduating from undergraduate degree. He has been practicing law for more than ten years. He is very down-to-earth and a very responsible person.

Fang Yi did not hide anything from Lawyer Song, and roughly told the story between himself and his ex-wife Cao Xiaohui until Cao Xiaohui was arrested.

Lawyer Song felt that everyone was colleagues, and this was also a serious criminal case, and Fang Yi didn’t have any excessive demands. Why not agree to the money-making thing? Besides, Fang Yi was a nice person, and he would be in favor of someone else if he replied. Well, maybe I would ask for something from him in the future, so I took Son’s mobile phone number and contacted him.

The reason why Fang Yi helped Cao Xiaohui find a lawyer was not because he still had feelings for her, but because of his son Fang Anzhi. Fang Yi felt uncomfortable when he thought of his son. Adolescent children should not be fooled! It seems that we have to find an opportunity to talk to him. To use the words in the sketch, this is called "talking about breaking is not poisonous". If you don't break, you can't establish. It is better to face it openly than to hide it.

There is still one month left before the Chinese New Year. Fang Yi thought that there would be no more cases during this period, but things often backfired. Just when Fang Yi was thinking about how to talk to his son Fang Anzhi about his mother Cao Xiaohui's illegal drug abuse case, Sister Lan called and asked if he was in the hospital and would come to see him soon.

More than half an hour later, Sister Lan walked into the conference room of Wanhua United Law Firm with a woman in her fifties who looked somewhat similar to her.

"Lawyer Fang, this is my eldest sister, Gao Yulan. Eldest sister, this is the Lawyer Fang I told you about. If you have anything to say, just tell him directly. We are all our own." Sister Lan said carelessly.

Sister Lan's eldest sister has the exact opposite personality to hers. She seems a bit submissive. At first glance, you can tell that she is not a person like Sister Lan who often hangs out in society.

"Lawyer Fang, something happened to my child... Let my sister tell you about it." Gao Yulan was mid-sentence and kicked the ball to Sister Lan.
