From Pokfulam to Central

Qu Zhi followed Li Yan into the car, and saw that he started the engine but didn't intend to leave immediately. He just turned on the heater to the maximum, and asked without warning, "Does it still hurt?"

Qu Zhi's thoughts were still in the courtroom and he didn't take it back. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he said as if waking up from a dream: "Ah, oh, it's okay, Li Lu, I'm fine, I just scratched the skin a bit, you don't have to worry. "

"Scratch the skin a little bit," Li Yan's tone lacked the usual calmness and prestige at work, instead there was a trace of unexplained caring blame, "I don't think you know that you are about to lose your appearance."

Qu Zhi felt that Li Yan was a little too nervous. In fact, he didn't feel anything wrong at all. He just wanted to say that it was okay, but he saw that he took out a paper towel and was about to wipe the dried blood on his face. Subconsciously dodging back, he said repeatedly: "Li Lu, I can do it myself."

Li Yan stared at Qu Zhi's injured area again, and after confirming that he would not be able to deal with it by himself even if he looked in the mirror, he stretched out his hand that was half-stopped in the air again, "What's so embarrassing, it's not convenient for you .”

Qu Zhi changed his mind and thought what Li Yan said was also reasonable, so he didn't refuse any more.Qu Zhi felt that he might be too sensitive. After all, it seemed strange that two big men were too shy about such trivial matters.

Li Yan wiped off the blood and concocted a pack of Band-Aids out of nowhere. He tore off the wrapping paper and said, "Tsk, this girl is really ruthless. She has such a beautiful face. If a work-related injury destroys my The boss can't afford it."

I don't know if it's because the heater in the car was turned on too much. Although he repeatedly warned himself not to worry too much, Qu Zhi still felt a little awkward. When Li Yan stretched out his hand again, he unconsciously avoided it.

Although Li Yan saw it in his eyes, he didn't show any signs of caring. He just started to deal with the wound more and more involuntarily, "You said you too, and you usually react very quickly. Why didn't you know how to hide just now?"

It's not that Qu Zhi doesn't know how to hide, but that he doesn't want to hide. He would rather use this clumsy method to alleviate his guilt and burden, even if it is actually useless.

"Li Lu," Qu Zhi didn't dare to look at Li Yan, because he knew that what he was about to say next should not have said, "If you hadn't represented this case, would you feel that the debt is not due to her? return?"

Li Yan's face turned cold suddenly, he didn't expect Qu Zhi to ask such a question, but he understood the reason why he behaved abnormally in court today.Li Yan had always thought that Qu Zhi was a good candidate to become a lawyer, and that he would be able to stand up to his current position in time, but now it seems that he is still lacking something, and may not even be suitable for this line of work.

"Qu Zhi," Li Yan looked at Qu Zhi carefully, "You have to be clear in your heart, we didn't ask Cao Lijun to pay back the money alone, but the husband and wife should bear it together, and the judge is exactly like this judged."

"But we all know the current situation of her family." Qu Zhi is not the kind of person who can't read his face. He can hear Li Yan's position in what he said, but at this moment, for some reason, he just wants to continue talking. , "Her husband is missing, and all the property that can be enforced is just the shop under her name. Jingda is actually going to this house."

"This is not something you should consider," Li Yan interrupted Qu Zhi seriously, "In a loan relationship, the lender naturally has sufficient reasons to believe that the loan offer made by the husband and wife is jointly made by the husband and wife on behalf of the other party. .Your logic will only bring a heavy and unrealistic duty of care to lenders, and the efficiency of economic operation will also be greatly reduced. These things have been taught countless times in school, do you still need me to teach you? ?”

Li Yan understood all these arguments, but he couldn't convince himself with these cold truths.

Seeing that Qu Zhi said nothing, Li Yan softened his tone a little, and continued: "Qu Zhi, you have to understand that the formulation of various clauses in the law has its own basis for consideration, just like the regulations on the joint debt of husband and wife are In order to protect the trust interests of bona fide third parties and the safety of transactions. As lawyers, what we have to do is to apply the law based on the facts to protect the legitimate rights of the client, instead of using your personal moral standards to make value judgments.”

"But in fact, Qin Jian borrowed money just for gambling, not for any joint operation at all."

Li Yan's face darkened again, "Where did the defendant use the borrowed money, and how did you know it?"

Qu Zhi met Li Yan's gaze, secretly surprised that he was able to ask questions so knowingly, and was unwilling to let it go, "He said it himself when you took me to see the manager last time. That person has some friendship with Qin Jian, and knows his What is the purpose of borrowing money, but the real reason cannot be written in the contract, so I made up a cover for business operation, have you forgotten all of this?"

"You just believe what he says, right?" Li Yan didn't expect Qu Zhi to push back directly, and lost his patience for a while, "Even if it's as you said, our witnesses have testified and submitted to the court Contradictory statements, then tell me, what criteria do you use to judge how to choose between the two? One is a casual statement in a private conversation, and the other is a sworn written statement. Now you want to accuse Did our witnesses perjure?"

Qu Zhi was dumbfounded. Although what Li Yan said seemed sophistry, it was indeed an angle that he had never considered.

Before Qu Zhi could react, Li Yan had already recovered his usual stern and majestic aura when he spoke again, "I will find someone else to follow up on this case, and you will come back to the office and write me a summary of the case in a while, with the key points explained. Let’s talk about the handling of witness testimony and your understanding of lawyers’ professional ethics, and then do other work after writing this.”

Most of the northern cities lose their nightlife after winter. Zhou Mi's car stopped at the gate of China World Mall with double flashing lights.It wasn't until the date displayed on the watch scrolled to a new day that Zhou Mi saw Qu Zhi walking towards the door with Li Yan's support.

For some reason, Zhou Mi felt that this scene was a bit dazzling, so he hurriedly got out of the car and stepped forward, called out to Qu Zhi but got no response, so he had no choice but to go straight to his arms, and calmly passed the person into his arms, then turned and said to Li Yan: " Lawyer Li, I’m really sorry to trouble you, Qu Zhi has always been a bad drinker, but he still doesn’t know how to hide from others when he’s at the table, causing trouble to the leader, I’m really sorry, I’m sorry for him.”

Li Yan looked at Zhou Mi carefully, thinking that this person is so clear about his identity, obviously he has a lot to do with Qu Zhi, and coupled with the slightly unreasonable hostility in and out of his words, his heart already After making a rough guess, he smiled arrogantly and sophistically: "It's nothing, the leader doesn't have to be superior. When meeting such excellent and capable subordinates as us, Qu Zhi, it's human nature to love and cherish talents."

Zhou Mi saw that Li Yan was not pleasing to the eye, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him at the moment, so he smirked stiffly and said, "Leader, it's getting late now, I'll take Qu Zhi home first."

Qu Zhi sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the familiar feeling around him made him roll his eyelids, only to realize that there was a new person around him, his frowning brows finally relaxed a bit, and he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and murmured: "Zhou Mi. "

Zhou Mi started the car, turned his head and glanced at the person beside him who made him unable to bear to say a harsh word, suppressed his jealousy and said, "You still know who I am, if I don't come to pick you up, do you want to Run away with someone else?"

Qu Zhi obviously didn't understand what Zhou Mi was saying, he just let down his guard and just smirked blindly.

"Still laughing," Zhou Mi glanced at Qu Zhi again, sighed in his heart, "Why did you drink so much again today? You won the lawsuit. Shouldn't it be the client's treat? Why did you drink again?"

Qu Zhi shook his head in a dizzy state, "No, no, it was Li Lu who treated the guests. Hehehe, Li Lu said that the other party is a big, big company. If we can reach a cooperation, it will be beneficial for the company to—"

"What's wrong with your face?!" The light just now was too dim, and it wasn't until Qu Zhi swayed back and forth that Zhou Mi finally noticed the tape on his face, "Why did you get injured during the court session? !"

"Ah?" Qu Zhi was stunned for a few seconds, and he thought hard for a while before he realized it. Then he remembered what happened this afternoon, his eyes became clearer, but he also felt lonely, "It's okay, I deserve it anyway. .”

"What's the situation?" Zhou Mi heard that Qu Zhi's words were wrong, and said anxiously, "What's the matter?"

Qu Zhi shook his dizzy and swollen head vigorously, "It's really nothing, I just think, I thought that I no longer had the illusion that the law can absolutely guarantee fairness and justice, and I thought that I continued to do this business just for the sake of it. What I brought to me, but in the end I found that I still couldn't be completely indifferent, but had to do something against my heart."

Zhou Mi remembered which case Qu Zhi was in court for today, and felt distressed seeing his current state, but he couldn't do anything to help, so he softly comforted him: "Don't be too strict with yourself, everyone has their own. We can't help ourselves, we just need to do our part well, as for the rest, fate has its own arrangements."

Duties—Qu Zhi leaned his head heavily on the back of the chair, hoping to relieve the unexplained pain a little—but had he really done all the duties?

Qu Zhi couldn't think of an answer right now, he just felt the burning pain in his stomach, which made people unable to fully wake up, and couldn't sleep peacefully. ..."
