Chapter 6 The Case

Because there are a lot of procedures to go through for graduation, I took a three-day vacation with the office. When Zheng Ao arrived in the south, I happened to be going to work.

I arrived early, and there were only a few interns in the office. There was a nameplate in Mr. Qian’s office. He often complained that he was too old to sleep even if he wanted to.

As soon as I put my coffee and suit jacket on my desk, a series of "Morning Lawyer Su" sounded behind me.

I looked back and saw that Lawyer Su was wearing a suit, a meticulous shirt, and a dark blue tie, walking through the office area expressionlessly.In such an early morning, all colleagues were more or less tired, but he was still calm and serious like an ice sculpture, and there was no trace of fatigue on his handsome face.

"Fax these materials to the general manager's office of Mingsheng, call the client who sued for divorce yesterday, and make an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon. Bring a cup of coffee to my office." He instructed the interns concisely and succinctly, and passed me by One finger: "Xu Lang come to my office."

I quickly picked up the coffee, picked up the suit jacket packed with the dust cover, and followed.

His office style is very similar to the person he is, extremely rational, extremely clean and tidy, with black and white tones, and no extra colors at all. Except for Professor Qian, who has the most seniority, he is the lawyer with the highest hourly salary in the firm. He is just over [-] years old. If there is a pyramid in the legal profession, he must be the top group.

He was sitting behind a large desk, flipping through the materials quickly, his reading speed was astonishingly fast, and it took me half a month to follow him before I could convince myself that there is really someone in this world who can read files at such a fast speed of.

After flipping through the thin stack of files, he reached for his coffee and looked up at me.

Because of lowering his head to read, the position of the gold-rimmed glasses is slightly lowered, and the outline of his glasses can be clearly seen. He is a real phoenix eye, with extremely beautiful double eyelids, and he is not angry.When I saw him for the first time, he was wearing glasses, which more or less covered up his sharp eyes, so as not to scare the crying clients who came to divorce.

I cough lightly.

It takes courage to speak up in front of him.

"Lawyer Su, this is your suit." I was afraid that he might think it was worn by Zheng Ao, so I explained: "The style and brand are the same as your original suit, and it has been laundered in a dry cleaner."

He looked at me calmly, without any emotion, but those eyes alone already made people feel a lot of pressure.

"Where did you get the money?"

I didn't expect him to ask this question. Of the three barristers in the firm, Lawyer Su is the one who feels the most distant. Let alone his private life, if Lawyer Qian didn't mention it occasionally, we wouldn't even know his age.So I didn't expect him to suddenly ask me this question.

"When I was studying by myself, I saved a little money..." I explained to him.

"Can college students save money now?" He asked, "The law major in University R is so idle?"

I gripped the shoulders of the suit tightly, and the wooden wide-shouldered hanger was stiff through the dust jacket and suit fabric.

"Lawyer Su, I don't quite understand what you mean." I raised my eyes and met his gaze.

"I don't care what your relationship is with Zheng Ao, and I don't care where your money comes from." He took a sip of coffee, and his movements were as graceful as a model of etiquette: "Chen Yi is too stupid, Xue Xue is going to get married soon, I have Tell Lawyer Qian to let you be my assistant, I don't want to spend time looking for someone."

The surprise came so suddenly that I didn't know how to react for a while.

"Thank you... Thank you, Lawyer Su."

He had already lowered his head to look at the file, waved his hand, and signaled me to go out without looking up.

I lightly hung up the suit in the small lounge of his office and quietly backed out.

As soon as I went out, I was stopped.

Senior Sister Xue and a few interns were leaning against the door of the tea room and chatting. When they saw me passing by, they snatched me over.

"Hey, why is Bingshan looking for you? Why did you bump into his hand?" The person who asked the question was Senior Sister Xue. She was already engaged and was said to be getting married at the end of the year. The man was a public prosecutor and was busier than her.

"It's nothing, just let me take the clothes in." Senior Sister Xue is very professional, and the matter hasn't been settled yet, so I can't talk about it everywhere.

"Tch, I knew that Bingshan wouldn't mess with you." An intern shook his coffee cup resentfully: "We are almost killed by him."

"If you are half as capable as Xu Lang, why would he mess with you?" Senior Sister Xue defended me: "Xu Lang, don't listen to him too much, let him do things like dry cleaning, you are not his servant ..."

I don't want to brush off her kindness, so I can only agree.Fortunately, when Lawyer Qian's office moved, everyone dispersed immediately, and I was able to escape and return to my place.

After I was adopted, I also had a very detailed physical examination. The doctor said that my heart may have a little trouble, but the problem is not serious. It should be a congenital heart disease. It recovered on its own, and it still has no effect on basic life.After I grew up, I didn't think there was any problem, but occasionally I would be a little out of breath, and it would be fine after a few deep breaths.Compared with those children in the orphanage, my shortcoming is hardly worth mentioning.

Just for health preservation, I put a lot of green plants on the desk. There are many girls in the big office, who are afraid of the cold and refuse to open the windows. The air is not circulated. Some plants are always better.Occasionally, they receive prickly prickly pear grass or something from their boyfriends, and when they are about to wither, they throw them to me to raise. After half a year of accumulation, they also have a certain scale.People often praise my office area as an eye-catching place. Last time, a client broke down and cried, and they dragged her to sit in my seat, using it as a small oxygen bar.

There are no important cases during this period, and the only thing I have to sort out is a divorce case. I have signed a prenuptial agreement, and the lawyers have very limited room to play.

At noon, I ordered a meal for Lawyer Su, and I went to the microwave to heat up the meal. Xue Xue and the others ordered takeaway and asked me to eat together. Brother Chen Yi also came back, but I ate outside. He and Lawyer Huang are more good at intellectual property rights. , unlike Lawyer Su who takes cases as he pleases, so the work is much easier.

Still sorting out the materials in the afternoon.

In many film and television works, lawyers are written in a high-spirited way, but in fact, the court only accounts for a small part of the lawyer's work, and it is not a very important part. China is a civil law system, and there is no jury as an audience. The space to play is actually very good.It is precisely the most boring paperwork that really determines victory, and it is necessary to collect material certificates carefully, not letting go of any clues.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the client arrived.It was a very young lady, wearing sunglasses and a plaid shawl.I have read her registration form, and it is similar to the case lawyer Zhou took last time. An old couple and a young wife are dissatisfied with her husband's inheritance agreement and decide to divorce.

But Lawyer Zhou can only earn a little back for his hard work.

I took this "Madam Tong" to see Lawyer Su.

After knocking twice, there was a "please come in" from the door, and when the door was pushed open, Lawyer Su was writing with his head down. When he saw us, he closed the file he was writing, buttoned up his suit, and stood up.

Mrs. Tong Shi Ran stretched out her hand and shook it with him. She wore bright red lipstick with sharp corners, and smiled at Lawyer Su.

I saw that Lawyer Su didn't let me go, so I sat down, took a notebook and started to record.

"You said on the phone that you can provide evidence of your husband's domestic violence." Attorney Su cut to the chase: "Do you have a certificate of injury? It is best to issue one from a public hospital."

Madam Tong glanced at me wearing sunglasses.

"Can your assistant go out first?"

"No need." Lawyer Su was as tough as Senior Sister Xue said, and he was extremely defensive: "He is a professional legal practitioner just like me."

Madam Tong pursed her lips, then raised her hand to take off her sunglasses.

Originally, I thought I would see bruises around the eyes, but it turned out to be a very smooth and beautiful face. The skin texture was tight and the color was like fat. The skin condition of my 25-year-old was definitely not over.Bright eyes are good at looking, but the eyes are much more mature than her peers, with something inexplicable.

She stood up and I thought she was going to go.

When the shawl slid down, I hadn't realized it yet.

Then the long skirt inside also slid off, and the thin shoulder straps slid along the slender arms all the way to the elbows.

She stood in front of Lawyer Su like this, the sun shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind Lawyer Su, her beautiful collarbone, her upturned breasts that could be covered by a shawl at key points, her silk-like skin, radiant The naked back, and the intertwined whip marks on the back, the burns caused by something unknown, or the thin strangle marks on the arms like red lines, were all exposed to the sun.

She said, "Lawyer, does this count as domestic violence?"
