sun and wildflowers

It's still raining this weekend.

It seems that there is plenty of rain this year.

Jiang Mingwo slept at home for a whole day without eating anything. Rainy days are easy to make people drowsy, not to mention Jiang Ming is a super sleepy... Otaku.

Otaku is of course not Jiang Ming's evaluation of herself, so who else can say such a "standard" word come out of Chen Mai's mouth, but Chen Mai's original sentence was "diaosi", and later she was out of respect for Jiang Ming's high face. Value considerations were changed to "otaku."

But to be honest, Jiang Ming is indeed very homely, he basically doesn't go out when he has nothing to do, and if he goes out, he stays in another place, such as a coffee shop or a movie theater. Of course, when he does these things, he basically does it by himself.

In fact, Chen Mai came back this time and proposed to travel because he wanted to take Jiang Ming out to relax, fearing that he would get sick if he stayed alone all the time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Ming lazily got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the window and stood there for a few seconds. He didn't open his eyes until he became more conscious. There were three or two neighbors who went out to buy vegetables and came back, carrying shopping bags in their hands, chatting about family affairs while walking.

Jiang Ming seemed a little out of place in this bustling atmosphere.

He turned back into the kitchen.

There is a separate cabinet in those cabinets for noodles, wide and thin, several brands, he likes to eat pasta, simple and easy to make.

When his mother didn't go to Seattle before, he would come here once a week to bring him some delicious food. Now he basically solves it by himself, and if he is too lazy to do it, he goes downstairs to deal with it. Let him eat it all.

......

Meng Fanhua Law Firm.

Lu Kun had been waiting in the reception room for almost an hour, and drank three cups of tea in front of him. He used this time to go through the whole incident from beginning to end, trying to find out what omissions there were.

Lu Kun didn't finish college, and in the best years of his youth, he saw only high-walled power grids. Although he was not legally illiterant about the law, he was not as professional as a lawyer after all.

Halfway through the fourth glass of water, a man in a black suit opened the door and walked in. Lu Kun hurriedly got up and walked towards him.

"Hello, Lawyer Meng!"

"Lu Kun, right? I'm sorry I was in a hurry to deal with a case just now, so I'm late, sorry."

Lu Kun and Lawyer Meng shook hands with each other and replied politely: "No, I know you are busy."

"sit down."

"it is good."

Lawyer Meng put the folder on the table, raised his hand to loosen the tie around his neck twice, and said, "Chen Juncheng probably told me about the matter, and he asked me to talk to you in detail."

Chen Juncheng is the boss of the two stores managed by Lu Kun, and Lu Kun usually calls him "Brother Cheng."

"Brother Cheng called me before. He is in Guangzhou now and won't be back until next Tuesday."

"I know, Mr. Chen is also a busy man."

Lu Kun smiled and started to get down to business, saying: "The thing is like this. On the tenth of this month, a man named Deng Liqiang came to our store and rented a BMW x5 for two days. This car belongs to Brother Cheng. A friend put it in our store, I remember that I bought this car for more than half a year, and according to the current market value, it would cost between 50 and 60."

"On the afternoon of the first day when the car was rented out, Deng Liqiang called and said that the car had spontaneously ignited on the highway. I asked him to tow the car back. If we go through legal procedures, wouldn't it be necessary to identify the cause of the car's spontaneous combustion?"

"Then did he say why he spontaneously ignited?"

Lu Kun shook his head, "He said that the car caught fire from the bottom while driving on the way, and it was too late to put out the fire afterwards, and he promised to tow the rest of the car body back, but he refused to accept the account after returning and returned it to the store. stole our rental car contract."

Lawyer Meng frowned when he heard this, and Lu Kun's heart sank.

"The car rental contract is very important. Does your store have monitoring?"

Lu Kun: "Yes, but it broke down a few days ago, and unfortunately it was the time when Deng Liqiang came to rent the car, but don't worry, I got the car rental contract back."

"Get it back?"

Lawyer Meng didn't know what Lu Kun meant, or he was curious about what method Lu Kun had taken.

Lu Kun didn't seem to want to elaborate on this, "Lawyer Meng, you don't have to worry about this, the car rental contract is still in our hands anyway."

Lawyer Meng is a smart person. After understanding, he nodded and said, "Then you can sue them for compensation, and it will be easier if you have a car rental contract."

"No no." Lu Kun twitched his lips, looked at Lawyer Meng with deep eyes, and said, "Since they are villains, we don't need to be gentlemen. We can not sue for the time being and try to delay the time."

Lawyer Meng was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Lu Kun glanced at the ashtray at the corner of the table and said, "Lawyer Meng, I want to sue them for "failing to return the car."

Lawyer Meng was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes."

He has planned this decision for a long time, but whether it can be successful or not depends on whether God will show his face.

Lawyer Meng leaned back on the back of the chair, pointing rhythmically with his raised toes, as if he was thinking.

"I think your idea is a bit risky. First, you have to make sure that the car rental contract you got back is 100% authentic. Second, has this man named Deng Liqiang talked to you about the whole incident alone? If he secretly recorded or If you make a video, you will be beaten up instead, and the things that were originally advantageous will become disadvantages. Third, if the lawsuit is won, it will not only be as simple as losing the car, but also the rental car during the period of "not returning the car" Fees and liquidated damages can easily cost hundreds of thousands, aren't you afraid that they will retaliate by jumping over the wall?"

Lu Kun's expression changed after hearing what Lawyer Meng said. This...how come so many unfavorable factors suddenly appeared? !

After all, it is a lawyer, and the point is made clear in a few words.

Lu Kun adjusted his sitting posture, cleared his throat, and said, "I only had direct contact with them once. This matter was handled by a colleague in our store before. The car rental contract I got back must be genuine, but is there any Recording, I can't be sure."

Lawyer Meng wrote something in the notebook with a pen. After listening to Lu Kun, he closed the notebook and said, "You go back and think about it carefully. My suggestion is to sue conservatively. If the spontaneous combustion of the car is not our problem, then we will win." The chances are very high, if you do as you say, you must be prepared to fight to the death."

"Also." Attorney Meng paused for a while and said, "You should have heard that I have been a lawyer for seven years and never take a case that I am not sure about. It all depends on word of mouth, I can't smash my own signboard."

Lawyer Meng's words did not make Lu Kun feel uncomfortable. He has been working outside for so many years, and he knows the truth of "business is about business". For lawyers, maintaining a good reputation is the only way... ha ha , to put it vulgarly, "there is a lot of money!"

"That's it first, Lawyer Meng, I'll go back and discuss it with Brother Cheng, and then I'll contact you."

"Okay, walk slowly."

......

At dusk, after dinner, Jiang Ming walked around the living room several times, and finally survived until the rain stopped. He picked up the keys and half a bag of cat food and went downstairs.

There are lilac trees everywhere in the community. Jiang Ming walked by a tree and accidentally scratched a branch. Large strings of raindrops landed on the front of his clothes, making it wet. Go to the lake.

There is a black stray cat in the community, the breed seems to be Mumbai, but I don’t know if it is pure or not. The first time Jiang Ming met it downstairs was also a rainy day. Under the seat, maybe it was raining too much, even if he saw Jiang Ming, he didn't run away.

After walking around the artificial lake twice, Jiang Ming still couldn't find it, and there were only two black swans playing together in the lake.

Where did you go?

When he was wondering, Jiang Ming inadvertently caught a glimpse of a black shadow running past the pavilion on the left, he followed that shadow to look for it, and sure enough, he found it inside the pavilion.

"Little black."

This name was given to it by Jiang Ming, it cannot be more random if it is random.

"come over."

Jiang Ming waved at it, then opened the plastic bag in his hand, grabbed a handful of cat food and placed it by his feet.

"Xiao Hei" immediately ran over when he smelled the familiar smell from Jiang Ming's body, and started to eat hungrily.

Seeing its docile appearance, Jiang Ming couldn't help raising his hand to stroke its fur, it was damp, probably from the rain.

"Are you very good at eating recently?" Jiang Ming lightly squeezed "Xiao Hei"'s neck, it was so fleshy.

"If you get fatter, you won't be able to find a wife."

Jiang Ming talked to himself, Xiao Hei took care of himself.

From time to time, I could hear the cries of black swans. Jiang Ming raised his head and looked over. The community security guards were driving them into their nests with a long stick. I saw the security guard wielding a stick for nearly half an hour before he succeeded.

On the other side, Lu Kun watched Jiang Ming play happily with a cat from the rearview mirror of the car. In the bluish-white pavilion, Jiang Ming was wearing a gray vest, with his head down, and the expression on his face was invisible.

Lu Kun didn't realize that he had been staring at the picture for at least 10 minutes.

What is he here for?Why is he here?

Lu Kun didn't know, anyway, he turned in by the way.

Seeing that there was not much cat food left on the ground, Jiang Ming got up and brushed the ashes off his buttocks, then lowered his head and said to Xiao Hei, "I'm going upstairs first, and I'll feed you tomorrow night."

As soon as Jiang Ming came out of the gazebo, he heard thunder on the ground, which made him raise his head suddenly. Before he could react, big raindrops poured down instantly. He stuffed the cat food under his armpit and was about to run away.

"Jiang Ming!"

With a "sudden brake", Jiang Ming turned his head and saw Lu Kun.

"Come and hide in the car, just because I have something to do with you."

Lu Kun stretched out one arm out of the car window, and hooked his index finger at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming froze on the spot, he stopped, the rain would not stop, he was completely drenched within a few seconds.

Seeing him like this, Lu Kun yelled again, "Why are you in a daze? Get in the car!"

Heavy Rain didn't allow Jiang Ming to hesitate any longer, he turned around and got into Lu Kun's car.

The window was rolled up, and the only silence in the car was the sound of breathing.

Two people's...

Lu Kun took out a pack of tissues from the armrest box and threw it, which happened to land between Jiang Ming's thighs, in an awkward position.

Jiang Ming: "..."

"Wipe it."

"Thank you."

Jiang Ming simply wiped the rainwater off his face a few times, then grabbed back with his big hand, pulled off the vest and shook it a few times, water droplets splashed everywhere, and two drops accidentally fell on the face of the person next to him.

Lu Kun withdrew his gaze and looked forward, his eyes were foggy.

This is fucking boring...

"Let me drive the car downstairs to your house first, do you mind if I go up and sit for a while?"

Lu Kun's voice is very magnetic, with a slight subwoofer quality, which makes people feel itchy.

"..."

Jiang Ming's hand holding the tissue was slightly squeezed, and it collapsed.
