Chapter Ninety-Eight: Reflection
Ling Li sighed that Tian Zheng's words were like a god, and at the same time tried to make himself look sincere, and said to him according to the words he had thought of before: "Teacher Nan, you know that I was calculated very badly in the previous case, and I did this to give Zhu Jinchuan a big gift in return." β
After speaking, he simply repeated the process of being calculated by Zhu Jinchuan in his own case of Qin Xinghai.
Nan Zhiyi tilted his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but Tian Zhengyan suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand." You are a salaried lawyer, you get a fixed salary every month, and you don't have a share of the case, no matter how much you make in this case, you won't have your share, but it will all go to Zhu Jinchuan. signed a gratuitous agency, so that he couldn't eat the target of 200 million yuan, which must be very uncomfortable. β
Then he nodded deeply, and his voice was full of appreciation: "Yes, your method is very good, I can't agree more with the way of others." β
Ling Li silently praised Tian Zhengyan's acting skills.
He knew her thoughts for a long time, but that performance was at the level of an actor.
From the shock when she heard the pro bono agent just now, to the surprise after hearing the reason, and then to the epiphany for a moment, the context of emotional changes is very clear, and her expression is layered and extremely smooth, she is about to believe that Tian Zhengyan didn't know in advance, and she didn't worry about Nan Zhiyi not being fooled.
However, Nan Zhiyi was suspicious and remained silent for a long time without speaking. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Didn't you say you could understand what he did?" β
Ling Li bit her lip, and hurriedly said: "The truth is like this, and the words are said like this, but if I don't give him back, this tone in my heart is always not smooth." β
Seeing that Nan Zhiyi was still unmoved, she hurriedly said the excuse she had thought of before: "Mr. Nan, he also brought me to this steakhouse, which was the Christmas Eve when you finished cleaning." He deliberately ordered a steak for four people, but he didn't tell me, I was afraid of wasting it and had to eat it, and the next day I had indigestion and stomach pain for a whole day. That's how he took me for a fool, and he laughed at me for cursing around the bend, you say it's not hateful! β
Tian Zhengyan was drinking water, and this time he didn't hold a mouthful of water and squirted out, almost choking on a big cough.
Seeing Nan Zhiyi on the side looking at him with some surprise, he was busy sitting in a serious position and adding fuel and vinegar: "The location of Christmas Eve is not easy to decide, Ling Li, he must have already saved his mind to rectify you, so that you have nothing to say and can't turn your face, it's really hateful." β
Nan Zhiyi was finally confused by his serious expression and seemingly reasonable statement, although he was a little reluctant, he finally compromised: "Okay, if you think you want to retaliate, just take revenge." Agreements and everything, do as you say. β
Ling Li hummed happily, and a little excitement slipped through her eyes that the trick had succeeded. And Tian Zhengyan had already recovered his cold expression, and when the whim of Ling Li's performance passed, he recalled Ling Li's words just now, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart.
The premier steak restaurant in the capital, the reservation for Christmas Eve must be very popular, ten days and half a month in advance, not to mention, sometimes without spending a little effort to support the relationship, it is really not decided.
It is said that the lawyer wanted to gain the trust of the little girl in front of him, but he deceived others to get sick soon, which seems to be counterproductive.
suddenly remembered what he had said when he was pursuing an ignorant single-celled creature: "Do you know what it means when you were a kid when boys always bullied girls?" β
At that time, someone looked confused and in a foggy state, but it was a little similar to the two in front of him.
Tian Zhengyan hooked the corners of his mouth, remembering his answer to this question, and felt a little emotional in his heart.
Yes, if you like her, you will always bully her and tease her.
Although Frankenstein, who has abnormal brain circuits, has not yet woken up, it does not prevent him from taking the wrong path of second-year teenagers who think that they can get the attention of the other party by bullying girls.
And whether the villain, who only hears his name but does not see him, and who uses all means to bully rookie lawyers in their mouths, is not aware of this, it is not yet known.
Also, about the villain in the mouth of Tomato Girl, his behavior does not seem to be so unacceptable in the eyes of a person like Tian Zhengyan, who used to be a lawyer.
It's just that you can tell Tomato Sister straightforwardly, your identity is special, we are so, so, so, so, as long as you explain the cause and effect, a solid child like Tomato Sister may not be willing to accept it.
Why go around in such a big circle?
He frowned and thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't deduce anything more than knowing that this person did it on purpose. If you can't figure it out, you just put it aside and don't think about it anymore.
Anyway, as the so-called chess meets opponents, this one has a good show.
Chapter 95
After some singing and fighting in the steak room, the matter of signing the agreement was finally decided, but the next procedure gave Ling Li a little headache.
She had made up her mind to go to other institutes after the Spring Festival, but when she saw Zhu Jinchuan that day, she was stunned and followed his train of thought, and promised not to resign.
Also, how to get Zhu Jinchuan to agree to this free agency contract?
She has a friendship with Nan Zhiyi, and she is willing to fight such a lawsuit for free, but she is a salaried lawyer, whether she signs the agreement or not, or Zhu Jinchuan has the final say.
How to make Zhu Dazhu let go of the eight-figure agency fee in the case of 200 million bids, this problem is really not ordinary.
However, it was really annoying, and I hadn't figured out how to pass this level, when I reissued the bank card that afternoon, Ling Li checked the balance by the way, and was stunned for a while when she saw the six-digit number displayed on the ATM screen.
After repeatedly confirming that the amount was indeed correct, she hurriedly withdrew from the card and went to the teller, saying, "The balance on my card seems to be mistaken, please help me check if anyone transferred the wrong account?" β
After some inquiry, the teller girl raised her head: "There should be no mistake, the transfer of this money out of the account, there was a sum of 3,000 at the end of each month to your card, and the note is salary." β
Ling Li was dumbfounded: "Huh? Wages? β
The teller girl looked at the computer, then turned her head and said to Ling Li: "Although the amount of this transfer is relatively large, the note is also a salary. If you feel that something is wrong, you can consult your unit, maybe this money is a year-end bonus. β
After speaking, he looked at Ling Li again, and did not hide his envious gaze.
On the way back, Ling Li clutched the bank card she had just reissued, and some of them didn't catch it.
According to the bank, the money was transferred from the Chengda Office, and the date of the transfer was the first Monday after the third trial of Qin Xinghai's case.
The day of the trial is Friday, and if it is a business business, it can indeed not be handled until Monday.
In this way, it is very likely that this money was transferred to her account according to Zhu Jinchuan's instructions.
Thinking about the amount he saw just now, Ling Li's head was as big as a bucket, and he didn't know what to do.
She smiled bitterly, 200,000 yuan is a drizzle for Zhu Jinchuan, but for her, it is really a huge amount of money.
Except for the fact that she had so much money on her card just after she had just sold her house, the rest of the time, it was a number she hadn't even thought of.
This money seems to be enough for her to buy a down payment of a small suite with a bedroom and a living room of about 50 square meters in a not so good location outside the third ring road of the capital.
For a while, I couldn't help but imagine the happiness of having my own nest free, and suddenly shook my head.
How could she be so spineless? How can you use this money?
Before, she only had a difficult problem in front of her, "how to get Zhu Jinchuan to agree to act for free and then sign", but now there is another problem of "how to return 200,000 yuan".
Ling Li's face was about to twist into bitter melon, and she only felt upset and didn't know what to do.
When she got home, Ling Li picked up the pillow to cover her head, and fell on the bed with a whimper, hoping that she could pass out and never wake up, so as not to think about these bad things again.
ββββ
Early in the morning, Zhu Jinchuan arrived at the office, and as soon as the internal staff went to work, he ordered a brief list of all the new cases in her office to be sent to him for his attention.
When he saw the case in his hand, Zhu Jinchuan was a little undecided.
At present, the largest amount of the subject matter is a construction contract dispute that he is handling, the case is simple and suitable for practice, and it was originally mentioned to let Ling Li handle it together, but she seems to have her left ear in and out of her right ear, and she feels that she has no interest at all.
As for a case of a new type of corn seed plant, it is a bit difficult, and if it is not handled well, it will hit her confidence.
Or another family dispute? But after the accidental death of the CEO of a mining group, the second instance went to the provincial high court to divide the family and property lawsuit, and the original three and four illegitimate children fought for the family property, which was full of ugliness, and the character of the Ono girl, I am afraid that I will be half angry with myself just by reading the papers, so forget it.
After looking around, he felt that there was nothing suitable for him, so he could only look for it again.
With something in his heart, Zhu Jinchuan involuntarily lit a cigarette, and after some hesitation, suddenly, there was a crisp knock in the direction of the door.
Zhu Jinchuan put a few pieces of paper on the table into the drawer, pinched out the cigarette butt, and then sat up straight and said lightly: "Please come in." β
The hidden door was pushed open, and a delicate little face ensued him, which surprised him and surprised him a little.
"Second sister?" He involuntarily stood up, and his voice raised slightly: "Why are you here?" Didn't you say that you only went to work after the Lantern Festival? β
Ling Li slowly walked into Zhu Jinchuan's office, first smelling the smoke and feeling a little uncomfortable, and then hearing him call her like this again, her brows furrowed slightly.
However, anyway, he has always done his own thing, and her repeated corrections are useless, Ling Li simply ignored this title that made her a little unhappy, and went straight to the point: "Director Zhu, I talked about the case myself, and the free agency agreement requires your confirmation of the agreement and the official seal of the office." β
Zhu Jinchuan didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, she was a little surprised. However, when he heard about pro bono agency, he immediately said: "You don't have the kindness to help people work for nothing, no matter how small the lawsuit, you have to charge some agency fees, at least 5,000, understand?" β
Ling Li lowered her eyes and stared at her toes: "It's already a good state to negotiate, I'm just helping a friend, I won't occupy the resources in the institute, and I won't cause you other troubles." β
Zhu Jinchuan was about to say a few words about her being too naΓ―ve, but seeing her eyes drooping, her shoulders shrunk a little, and the corners of her lips pursed tightly uneasy, her heart suddenly softened.
He finally compromised: "Okay, you have drawn up the agreement and brought the first draft, I will take it to the office to seal it if there is no problem." β
Ling Li nodded, feeling uneasy. She had already drafted the agreement in accordance with the fixed format of the institute, and Nan Zhiyi's signature was also obtained, but she was a little weak after all.
Who is Zhu Jinchuan? How can the lawyers in the first echelon of intellectual property disputes in the province not see the nonsense of pro bono representation in cases related to Nanzhiyi?
But the ugly daughter-in-law always had to see her in-laws, and in the end she still took out the agreement and put it on his table, her heart was like a drum.
