You’re My Belated Happiness

how to say? Xu Huaisong really didn't know where to start for a while, and uttered four words for a long time: "It's a bit complicated."

"There are more complicated interpersonal relationships in this world than the predecessor?"

"Are debtors and creditors not complicated?"

Liu Mao's eyes widened, and when he thought about it, it really looked like that.

As a lawyer, I have been dealing with all kinds of people for a long time, and my observation skills have become increasingly keen. Judging from the situation today, he can be sure that Ruan Yu and Xu Huaisong know each other.

He originally thought that it was only the "most familiar stranger" who could make a "reunion" so rigid, but when he was reminded by these words, he realized that his thinking was too narrow.

Liu Mao suddenly realized that he stammered and said, "She... Does she owe you money?"

No wonder Ruan Yu was trembling, pretending not to know Xu Huaisong. As for Xu Huaisong, he stubbornly made a poker face.

Seeing him seriously, Xu Huaisong laughed, "No."

"..." Liu Mao wanted to break the law a bit.

"Let's find a place to eat." Seeing him still asking, Xu Huaisong cut off the conversation in time.

He had to step on the gas pedal, turning the steering wheel while thinking back to yesterday.

Yesterday Xu Huaisong called and asked him to adjust the relationship and check a person's basic information and contact information in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area. He asked whether he was in a hurry, because he had just received a copyright and reputation dispute case and was rushing to do network evidence preservation.

Xu Huai-song said "urgent", but after finishing speaking, he didn't know what to say, thinking of something, so he asked who the client of this case was.

He is Zhikun’s partner and has the right to understand the case that the firm has taken over. Liu Mao 151 confessed, but he was hung up hastily.

The news from Xu Huaisong was in the early hours of the morning. He said that he was at Pudong International Airport.

With such a connection, Liu Mao thoroughly understood: The person Xu Huaisong wanted to investigate was Ruan Yu.

How can there be any unexpected reunion? He is the country he returned to for her.

It's just that they came all the way, in exchange for the phrase "don't know".

Which man didn’t want to save face, Liu Mao didn’t break the casserole and asked to the end, “What to eat, Western food?”

"Too slow. Keep it simple and catch a plane."

"Fly to San Francisco?" He was surprised.

Xu Huaisong nodded.

Dare to even find a hotel is a lie.

"Aren't you just here, why are you leaving in a hurry?"

"There are less than 24 hours left before my client's trial. Do you think I am in a hurry?"

Liu Mao was stunned: "Are you crazy?"

Spend more than ten hours rushing back to China, meet in a hurry, and then spend more than ten hours back to defend?

Xu Huaisong lowered his seat and lay down, closing his eyes tiredly: "Maybe it is." After finishing speaking, he smiled and sighed, "Who is not crazy."

In Shen Mingying’s apartment, Ruan Yu curled up on the sofa with his head buried in a pillow: "It's going to be crazy..."

Listening to her story from beginning to end, Shen Mingying laughed and burst into tears: "Who was it that made a promise and said that he would not be recognized?"

"How do I know that I can really make trouble to the deity?" She grabbed her hair and got up. "It's too illusory. Novels don't dare to write like that. Am I dreaming?"

"Do you know when you are now?"

She muttered weakly: "When..."

"On the first day at the age of eighteen, the night Xu Huaisong held his hand."

That day, she stayed up all night like a chicken blood, and asked again and again if she was dreaming.

But how excited I was at the beginning, I want to run away now.

Shen Mingying turned to the kitchen to cook lunch. When she came back, she saw her holding her phone as gray as her face: "What to do? I said that this novel is a Weibo that I experienced personally, and it is a video that clarifies the creation time of the outline. Sent..."

In other words, she can't delete the blog, nor can she edit the content again, because such a move will definitely be given a dirty meaning by someone with a heart.

"Don't be narcissistic, the elite American lawyers won't have time to read your Weibo. And people don't remember you at all. Even if you turn your novels, you won't necessarily find that you are writing him." Shen Mingying counted for her. This account, "It's all in the past tense anymore. Just be a passerby. The worst is just embarrassing. Who doesn't have adolescent fantasies yet, right?"

Ruan Yu knew this was reasonable, but: "When I thought he might see the'spring dream' in the novel, I couldn't get past the hurdle in my heart..."

Shen Mingying laughed loudly: "I asked you to add more energy and jealousy for the artistic effect!" After laughing, hit the elbow into the muddy person, "Seriously, just because of this mess, don't you?"

She cheered up and shook her head.

It is of course false to say no to tell, but I just intend to give up Zhikun and find another lawyer.

After confirming that Shen Mingying's friend would not be difficult, she contacted another law firm in Hangzhou that same day.

The other party also invited her for an interview.

This law firm is called Dingzheng. The lawyer named Fan, who took over the Ruan Yu case, worked vigorously and worked out a response plan that night.

So when she came to the office the next day, she got a plan directly.

While reading the information, she listened to the middle-aged man opposite: "Ms. Ruan mentioned that your case involved copyright and reputation disputes, but in fact it has little to do with the latter. Whether your work is original or not, it doesn’t matter. It needs to be recognized in court."

She was a little surprised: "Then how to reverse public opinion?"

Fan Yizhong chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "As long as the evidence is preserved on the Internet, the defendant's infringement will be established as long as the outline is stolen."

"This may be the case at the legal level, but you have also seen that the author involved in the case has cooperated with me to make a clarification, but at the level of public opinion, it is not very useful."

"Because that statement currently has no legal benefit."

She frowned: "But wouldn't it be more convincing if we also explore the originality of the work on the basis of proving the theft of the outline?"

"After the theft is established, it is meaningless to discuss the two works. Isn't Ms. Ruan looking forward to the result of the'highly similar works of both parties'?"

She shook her head: "Similarities are just appearances. As long as you compare the two articles carefully, you will find..."

"If Miss Ruan insists on her own opinion," Fan Yizhong interrupted her, "My plan does not meet your expectations, I suggest you hire another wiser. But to be honest, I don't think any lawyer will adopt your opinion."

She was silent for a moment and nodded: "I understand, thank you for your suggestion."

Hangzhou has entered the summer rapidly in the past few days. When Ruan Yu left Dingzheng, the sun was already quite venomous.

She took a taxi under the scorching sun and originally wanted to go back to the apartment, but when she came to the fork in the road, she remembered Fan Yizhong's last words. She faintly reluctantly changed her route and changed her law firm.

After going in and out of the two houses one after another, she received a call from Liu Mao on the main road.

Liu Mao heard the whistle on her side and said in a low voice, "Are you outside? Let's talk when it's convenient."

She said "wait," and turned to an unmanned newsstand on the side of the road.

On one side of the newsstand, a row of transparent boxes is lined up with newspapers and magazines for self-purchase. It's just that no one has leisure to buy newspapers on a hot day.

Ruan Yu stood still under the cool and clean pavilion: "You speak up, Lawyer Liu."

Liu Mao is straight to the point: "The notarization procedure is almost in place, how are you thinking about it?"

Ruan Yu was silent for a while.

Of course she never gave up the lawsuit from start to finish. Although I ran into a wall at the three law firms in just half a day, saying that it is impossible not to be discouraged, but thinking rationally, the lawyers are not wrong.

To be able to hit the heart with a single shot, why bother? Who is willing to do things that are hard and not necessarily pleased?

After all, he is a person who has been tempered by the society, knowing that learning to be flexible is sometimes the rule of survival, so when he just crossed the road, Ruan Yu was thinking, shouldn't he stop being stubborn.

However, this call from Liu Mao made her want to try again one last time.

She didn't answer the question: "Lawyer Liu, in your imagination, how should this case be handled?"

Liu Mao seemed to be taken aback, and said: "Proving the theft of the outline is the most direct way."

Ruan Yu confessed his fate with an "um" cry.

He was keenly aware of her depression and asked: "What's the matter? If you are in trouble, just speak up. Even if I am not your client, I can still be your friend."

She hesitated and said: "I was thinking, assuming I have a desire to explore the originality of the work, can it be realized in this case?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, she probably understood, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I know..."

"Yes." Liu Mao interrupted her.

"can?"

Liu Mao pondered and said, "Yes, it can be achieved..."

Hearing his tone of voice was wrong, she was stunned: "If it is for the help of a friend, you don't have to force it."

"Not reluctantly!"

This uplifted voice caused an echo, and she asked: "Lawyer Liu, is your landline on the speakerphone?"

"Yes. I'm sorry, please wait a moment, I have a few documents to sign temporarily."

"Then you are busy."

Ruan Yu didn't hang up the phone, and when there was no sound on the other end, he took the phone and looked down at the newspaper in the transparent box.

The folded Evening News revealed a small half of a news report about a former senior executive of S.G in the United States who transferred to a competitor and was prosecuted for violating competition restrictions.

Computer software development companies that rank among the top in the United States are inevitably involved in such disputes.

Ruan Yu glanced at his head tilted, and caught a glimpse of the words "San Francisco", "Tomorrow Court", and "Chinese Lawyer". If you look at it carefully, Liu Mao's voice came from the other end of the phone, saying that he is finished, and asked her if she was listening. .

She raised her head: "You said."

Liu Mao’s words are much smoother than before: “Although the discussion you mentioned is not necessary evidence, it may also have a beneficial effect on the outcome of the lawsuit as auxiliary evidence, so this demand can be fulfilled.”

Ruan Yu was a little surprised: "Don't you worry about the unsatisfactory result of the comparison?"

Liu Mao fell silent again and said, "I'm sorry, I will sign a few more documents."

"..."

A minute later, he spoke again: "Worry or not, in plain terms, it is the winning rate. As a lawyer, due to professional taboos, I can't give you the answer, but I think the true originality is worth an attempt like this."

Ruan Yu breathed. After hitting a wall one after another, such a sentence is undoubtedly like sending charcoal in the snow.

The image of Liu Mao rose to a height of two meters eight in her heart.

The passion of the literati suddenly filled her heart. Almost for an instant, she made up her mind: Zhikun and Liu Mao were her correct choices.

But the next second, the person on the other end of the phone hesitated and said, "Well... I learned these words from Attorney Xu."

"..."

The hot-headed Ruan Yu calmed down quickly: "Lawyer Liu, if you choose to litigate, you are my principal agent, right?"

"of course."

"So lawyer?"

"He doesn't attend the court trial, but only participates in the filing."

Ruan Yu lied and lied: "Well, I may not be able to afford the commission fees of the two lawyers..."

"Don't worry about this. Attorney Xu is involved for personal study and research. You don't need to pay for his part of the expenses."

She also wants to struggle: "In fact, some of my friends in the industry have also encountered copyright disputes. I can introduce him to study."

"Um... this," Liu Mao's tone sounded a little embarrassed, "but I have been in the industry for many years, and I really haven't seen anything more typical than your case."

Ruan Yu didn't know how he hung up the phone. When she recovered, the WeChat dialog box had an additional business card-"Zhikun Liu Mao" recommended "Xu Huai Song" to you.

She stood there holding this heavy mobile phone, her eyes dark for a while.

Liu Mao, who put the receiver on the landline on the other end, was as nervous and dizzy. He glanced at the computer screen, picked up the hand-free mobile phone on the table, and furiously said, "Xu Huai-song, can you type faster? Come here to sign so many documents?"
