[Comprehensive] Bewitching life

Zhou Yifei's decision to cancel the business and join the Department of Justice shocked many people.

Almost everyone who knew her and was acquainted with her was amazed. How could Eva Chow, who was so strong in the eyes of others, tear down all the hard-earned business for no reason, and then changed to Qingshui Yamen to start again.

"I want you to reduce your work, because I think you have worked too hard," Bu Guodong said: "But I never thought of asking you to change yourself for this family and me. You obviously prefer to work in a lawyer's office." work?"

Sometimes Zhou Yifei feels that Guodong is really a full-fledged idealist.The industry of defense lawyers is getting busier and busier unless they don’t value money and reputation or are not capable enough. The top people are often the busiest.

People with money and without money are like this, they all like to use better people, but people without money don't have the funds to do so.Hong Kong is a place where rich people gather. The better the lawyers, the more expensive they are. It doesn’t matter. I have money, so I want the best.

Don't you see, a person who can be called a famous certificate either has several apprentices in his hand, or invites many colleagues who are also in the same position. They are called colleagues, but they are actually subordinates.The more difficult a case is, the more people are needed, the less time is needed, and the more famous it is.

In the past, Zhou Yifei felt that she could handle both family and business very well, because family was never a stumbling block in her career. Guodong gave her full confidence and let her rely on a warm and solid home.

Now she finds that what she thought was solid has actually been defeated by many things. Looking at the root cause, she can only think that she does not have enough time to spend with her family, and there is a potential difference from Guodong's worldview, so she did this.

Do everything [-]% and get what you want, this is Zhou Yifei.

She hopes that this home will be better. For this purpose, the things she does are sacrifices in the eyes of others, but not in her eyes—she just loves this home very much and wants to protect it well.

But this is also the case that she was really a top lawyer in her previous life, so she can handle it lightly.Otherwise, she would never be reconciled. She knew that she was really good, so she could do this willingly.

Zhou Yifei pursues perfection, but she is also a down-to-earth person, so she will naturally have selfishness, even for her own family.

"I want to spend more time with you and Wenwen," she leaned her head on Guodong's arms, "and after reducing the workload, there will not be so many clients. You know that the rent of the Central Office is very expensive, I thought It's better to just prosecute. It's all a lawsuit, and the prosecution can still uphold justice, and our two in-laws don't have to shy away from it, that's great." She knows best what he likes to hear.

Bu Guodong will always support his wife: "You have never been an impulsive person. You always think twice before doing anything. If this is your wish, of course I will not object. I just hope that you are really happy .”

Zhou Yifei smiled: "Happy, why am I not happy? Entering the Department of Justice also has different career plans, or will I have the opportunity to be a district judge in a few years? At that time, your wife and I are not Zhou Dazhuang, but Judge Zhou, how majestic!" "

This is indeed her true thought, it's not bad to have a name, but Zhou Yifei is not the kind of person who can feel at ease.

"Then I'll just wait for that day, Officer Zhou." Bu Guodong laughed.

For Zhou Yifei now, family is the most important thing, and she doesn't care about other people's opinions.

However, future colleagues need to get along with each other more or less well. She used to be the boss, so she can introduce Wesley to other old classmates of hers, and she can also help the secretary Cindy find another lawyer firm to be her next home, as long as the money and benefits are properly arranged , they can still maintain a good relationship.But now as a civil servant, everything is not so free.

Everyone is an equal colleague, and there are unequal immediate bosses, which is why she likes to go out and start a business as her own boss, instead of entering the Department of Justice as soon as she graduates.

There are currently five people in the Criminal Prosecution Division, including Zhou Yifei, a total of six: CK, the top leader who has not been seen all year round, Lin Meiqi, the second leader who interviewed her, and Fang Zhihao, who is also a senior prosecutor like her, and the remaining two They are all prosecutors, a man and a woman, Lu Shaojie and Yu Meilian, both of them are not too old, and they have worked directly in the government after graduation and internship.

In terms of age, Zhou Yifei is neither above nor below.The bottom number should be the most common prosecutor position, but her achievements outside are far superior to ordinary barristers. Considering this aspect, plus her ability, etc., she has become the top number of senior prosecutors.

On the first day of work, I can't really do much. Everyone is a new colleague, so I need to tidy up my things. The boss is afraid that she will not get used to it, so he doesn't let her take charge of a new case, but let her take charge of a case in the coroner's court.

Everything is very fresh, this is Zhou Yifei's rare opportunity to get along with colleagues since college.

Originally, she wanted to say whether she wanted to have lunch with her colleagues or something, so as not to appear out of the group, but everyone else seemed to have their own cases and was in a hurry.With a shrug, she felt much more at ease with everyone being mature, sensible adults.

Frankly speaking, most of Zhou Yifei's impressions of government departments are from Bu Guodong and his colleagues. What do those people say... they always go in and out together, eat lunch together, and go to bars together , as if one person is missing.

God knows, this kind of situation has never happened since Zhou Yifei went to junior high school.She was the president of the student council in university, and when she met Guodong at that time, she was not dating, studying, or busy with school activities, and was very happy to be busy with different people.

It was her immediate boss, Lin Meiqi, who invited her to have lunch together. This seemingly business-like female boss kept a distance from others and had a sense of intimacy. Zhou Yifei, who had also been a boss of others, had to admit that she did a better job than her. .

But she also thought that there was a ten-year age gap between the two of them, and when she reached Lin Meiqi's age, she would do as well as her.No, it must be better than her, this is the confidence that belongs only to EvaChow.

"Actually, everyone is very curious about you." Lin Meiqi took a sip of coffee, looked at Zhou Yifei and said.

"Me?" Zhou Yifei pointed at himself and wondered.

She has always done high-profile things, and people inside and outside the Department of Justice must be familiar with her. It's not like she hasn't encountered a time when her opponent is speechless or furious, and some people are still curious?Are you wondering when she will die?

"The rules are set like this. Whether you lose or win, it will not affect everyone's private communication."

To put it simply, this is a job. Of course I have to do my best when I go to court, and I can still be friends after I go to court.

Of course, there are also those who want to hit the villain three times a day because of the lawsuit.

Many of the lawyers that Zhou Yifei met were the latter, and the former was almost rare. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few of them in the prosecution department.

Maybe it has something to do with being a government worker?The desire to win and lose is not so heavy in comparison, so it makes people care.

As for herself, since she had never lost before, she did not become angry from embarrassment.There are tit-for-tat confrontations with others, and that is also when someone provokes her or touches her interests-not boasting, she is really a very professional person.

"So I'm curious," Lin Meiqi explained, "No one knows who you are in private."

EvaChow will often appear in various public occasions, interviews, and receptions, but I have never heard of any barrister who is friends, regardless of gender.Lin Meiqi understands this kind of busyness, for the sake of her children, reduce communication.

Zhou Yifei was surprised: "Do you care so much about all the new subordinates?"

According to her observation, Lin Meiqi is a person who pays much attention to privacy and gets along with others very far away. A colleague is a colleague. She doesn't look like someone who would gossip about a new subordinate she met on the first day. Gossip face.

Lin Meiqi was very calm: "Maybe it's because I also have a daughter?"

Zhou Yifei smiled.

She is not a person who will sit still and has done a lot of investigations before entering the Department of Justice.Lin Meiqi used to be Huaguan's secretary when she was a barrister. Later her husband abandoned his wife and daughter because of foreign debts.Anyone who has been a lawyer will know how difficult it is, but Lin Meiqi did it.

Very occasionally, she also thought about how she would continue to live with her daughter if she divorced Guodong.

The independent woman in front of me is a good example.

Think pessimistically, this world is really not inseparable from anyone.

Since it was the kindness of the boss, Zhou Yifei would certainly not refuse.Lin Meiqi told her that colleagues from the criminal inspection department often go to a bar in Lan Kwai Fong, and many colleagues with good relationships also often go there. If she is free, she can also go to a bar.

A bar, another bar, and a gathering of colleagues, Zhou Yifei was a little helpless.

She seldom participated in such small private gatherings, and only a few of them attended the gatherings of his colleagues with Guodong.What they discussed was the case, and how vile the defense lawyer was, who only helped the rich to bully the poor, or Bu Guodong and Zhong Xuexin discussed various sciences of science and biology like no one else, and she could only watch helplessly. , It's not easy to get angry.

No matter what, one has to give Guodong some face outside, even Zhou Yifei knows this no matter how strong she is.

After agreeing to do it even if she didn't want to, Zhou Yifei called home after get off work and said that she would go back later, so she went to the parking lot and drove with Lin Meiqi.

There were a lot of people in the bar, Zhou Yifei used the excuse of going to the bathroom to let Lin Meiqi go in first, and the latter nodded and left.

Zhou Yifei washed her hands in the bathroom by herself, and then touched up her makeup.In the mirror, I am in very good condition. Looking closely, I look like a girl in her 20s, full of energy.She smiled, opened the door and walked out.

After walking no more than ten steps, she stopped and saw a man answering the phone with his back to her.

The back of the man is tall and thin, with a suit jacket on his hand, wearing a black vest and a dark blue shirt. He looks good from the back, at least this suit fits him well, his legs are long and straight, and his buttocks are a little bit Alice.

"Ah Pat, are you really not coming? That's EvaChow, a model couple just like you."

That's right, Zhou Yifei stopped, not because the man's back was handsome, but because she heard her own name.

She knew this man, and also the Pat, Patrick, and Huang Yaohui that the man said. The latter is a solicitor who handles civil cases. Like Zhou Yifei, his wife is also a professional.

It's a pity that if she remembered correctly, Huang Yaohui divorced his wife half a year ago, and the model couple in the legal field broke up immediately.

Zhou Yifei once again affirmed that the man in front of him, who had argued with her before and had a playful tone, was really not likable.
