Erqing is a very simple and plainly dressed woman, in her forties, clean and polite, and on the surface she cannot be seen as a lover of a rich man.

"Love?" Cao Yun asked rhetorically.

Erqing nodded.

The reason why Erqing became Taro Yamasei's lover was entirely because of love. Erqing got along with Yama Seitaro at the age of twenty-two, and later learned that Yama Seitaro had a family, but he still did not give up this love. The number of nights spent at Erqing's house was much higher than the number of nights spent at his own house.

Erqing is the owner of a small clothing store, the income is not very high, but it is not bad, except for a set of residences every birthday, she does not take any things and money from Yama Seitaro. Yama Sei Taro confessed in several very good circles of friends that if he unfortunately died, help him testify and give Erqing 10 million.

Cao Yun took over the materials, which were several copies, and there were the testimonies of a total of four witnesses, all of whom admitted that Taro had talked about this with the four of them very seriously half a year ago.

Cao Yun looked at the identities of the four people, one was Taro's investment and financial advisor. One is Taro's personal assistant who has left the company. One is the owner of Oshima Real Estate, and his office is next door to Taro's office, and they have become friends. There is also a small hair of Taro, an ordinary public servant.

Cao Yun said: "Erqing, the oral will is legally valid, and the identities of these four witnesses are all good. But there is one condition for oral wills, and that is that they can only be used in times of crisis. For example, it is effective when you are critically ill and are about to go to war. The most troublesome thing is that once he is out of danger, the oral will will be annulled, which means that unless he dies after confessing, the oral will is invalid. It's too hard to get this 10 million. Let's talk about your child. ”

Erqing's child is called Qingqing, female, is a graduate of Dongtang University majoring in medical care, every Spring Festival, Taro will lead Qingqing to visit the elders such as Taro's uncle, and the elders and even the main house Daqing have recognized the existence of this child. But after Taro's death, Daqing's daughter Sanqing took out a report in which she stole Qingqing's DNA and took it for testing, confirming that Qingqing was not Taro's biological daughter and should not have the right to inherit.

Erqing lowered his head and explained: "I had a quarrel with him that time, and I drank two more drinks at the bar......"

Cao Yun said: "That is to say, the child is someone else, who is the father of the child?"

Erqing: "I don't know. ”

Cao Yun admired: "Ms. Erqing, you are very courageous. ”

Erqing said: "I'm not for myself, Taro is much more important in my heart than money." Now that Taro has passed away, I have to think about the future for myself and my children. ”

Cao Yun pondered for a long time: "What is your goal?"

Erqing stretched out a finger: "Ten million, ten million is enough, since Taro said ten million, I won't ask for more." ”

Cao Yun said: "I think you'd better introduce the relationship between Qingqing and Taro in great detail." ”

An hour later.

Cao Yun said: "Ms. Erqing, to be honest, I'm not sure, but it's not a game that you have to lose." 10 million is not a lot for the Shanqing family, and I can take this case. There are two kinds of fees for me, the first is that I want 40% of your or Qingqing's additional income in addition to 10 million as my remuneration. The second option, a commission fee of 500,000, that is, no matter what the result is, you have to give me 500,000. Of course, as a lawyer, I will do my best to fight for the interests of my clients. ”

Erqing hesitated for a long time and asked, "It's more than 500,000, is 200,000 okay?"

Cao Yun said: "I want 500,000 which means that I will go all out." Two hundred thousand is not up to my standards. Before the entrustment contract is signed, Cao Yun will not tell the client which direction he will start, and will only vaguely respond with the words of certainty and uncertainty.

Cao Yun said again: "Since Ms. Erqing thinks that 500,000 yuan is too high, you can choose to entrust the risk, if you and your children can't get 10 million, I don't earn a penny, and I will post the working hours and costs by myself." ”

Erqing hesitated: "If you get 50 million lawyers, you have to take 20 million." ”

Is Er Qing a relatively short-sighted person? Cao Yun didn't know. However, Cao Yun has already read some information from the previous conversation, so he will issue a general commission of 500,000 yuan. Most people definitely choose to take on a risky mandate, your lawyer earns more, I earn more. But there are still a small number of people who don't think so, and their thinking and logic are different from most people.

"500,000?" Erqing thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, 500,000, lawyer, you will definitely go all out, right?"

Cao Yundao: "We have a basic work ethic, and the more inheritance you can fight for, the higher the reputation we will get." ”

Next, Gao Shanxing, a guest clerk, printed the entrustment contract, signed by both parties, and the second youth association transferred 500,000 yuan to the lawyer's account within 24 hours. You can't directly collect cash from customers, otherwise it will be tax evasion. For example, snack bars and kiosks that accept cash, they are usually a fixed tax. Don't underestimate the tax bureau, many cities have included private accounts in the scope of monitoring, targeting tax avoiders who pay wages in cash.

Gao Shan Xing made a cameo appearance as Cao Yun's assistant and sent Er Qing away. When I came back, I saw that Cao Yun was still reading the information, and asked, "Do you have an idea?"

Cao Yun said: "The strategy is still the one we talked about earlier, as long as the dog eats the dog in the main house, I will think of getting some money." Moreover, although Qingqing is not Taro's child, it is too early to say that Qingqing has no right to inherit. Assuming that Erqing agrees to a 40% commission, I will probably be aggressive and try to help Erqing get the inheritance qualification. But since it is a general entrustment, you don't have to work so hard, and it is easier to get 10 million. ”

Gao Shan Xing said: "Cao Yun, I found that when Erqing spoke, he felt a little like reciting the manuscript. ”

"Yes, I found out too. Cao Yun said: "Erqing's words are very deliberate, how to say it? When answering my question, she is very normal and ordinary, and when she narrates, her words are more inclined to words. However, Erqing is a liberal arts graduate of Dongtang University and has certain literary skills. It is possible to write things out in advance and think about it slowly, and it is not a doubt. ”

"What's next?"

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. Cao Yun said: "I want to summon Hanzi to understand the situation on the side of the main house, and at the same time prepare to go to court. ”

Cao Yun picked up the materials and looked at them, then took a few pens and drew them on the paper a few times, chose one of them, and changed the 10 million in the testimony of the four people to 30 million.

(The inheritance laws of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and Gaoyan City are different, especially for spouses, which will be explained in the following chapters.) ）
