Chapter 163: Unexpected
The concept that Ji Ning had always believed in was destroyed, and the whole person was at a loss. Later, Chen Mu told her a lot of words, but she didn't hear it.
Until Chen Mu left, Ji Ning didn't find out. When Ye Shaochen came back, he saw her leaning against the wall alone, her eyes blank, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ye Shaochen took three steps and made two steps, and stepped forward quickly. His hand changed twice in front of Ji Ning's eyes, trying to attract Ji Ning's attention, but Ji Ning didn't seem to notice his approach, and his expression was still dazed.
"Condensation." Ye Shaochen shouted, and Ji Ning's eyes returned to clarity and looked up at him.
"Well, can I go?" Ji Ning asked subconsciously, the expression on his face had returned to normal, but his voice was still a little trance.
It's probably because she can't accept the fact that Chen Mu has changed, or the justice in her heart makes her uncomfortable.
In fact, that kind of thing happens often, and lawyers are also human beings, and they also have to eat and make money. As long as it's not a hurtful thing, they're willing to cooperate.
There are also some scum in the industry, who reverse right and wrong after receiving money, which she has come into contact with and heard.
So there's no need for her to react so big, the double standard is not good. Thinking so, she took a deep breath and didn't intend to think about it any further.
Ye Shaochen took her hand: "Let's go, go back." He said. He didn't ask Ji Ning what happened just now, nor did he say what he saw Chen Mu.
The two walked out side by side, during which Ye Shaochen said a few words to him, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and Ji Ning began to work after returning to the company.
……
Busy days always pass quickly, Ji Ning is busy collecting information and contacting the parties every day to understand the details of this case as much as possible.
This is a commercial lawsuit, which involves a wide range of cases, and the time before the trial is short, so Ji Ning has almost no rest, and the whole person is like a spinning top.
finally sorted out everything when the case was opened, and it can be regarded as living up to the trust of others.
However, in the process of learning about this matter, Ji Ning found that there was a hidden big bug in this case, and if this point was caught by the other party, she would definitely lose.
"Are you ready?" Ye Shaochen stood beside Ji Ning and asked softly. He happened to be free today, so he came over to accompany Ji Ning.
The people in the court were basically in place, Ji Ning took a deep breath, smiled at Ye Shaochen and said, "Ready." ”
In fact, she was quite nervous, because in the past, she was confident in the court, and she went in with the mentality that she would definitely win.
But this time, the opponent is Chen Mu, and there is a big gap in his case, which will be discovered at any time. For the first time, she had the mentality of winning or losing, which was quite amazing and made her nervous.
After taking another deep breath, Ji Ning raised his head and walked in.
Every step is sonorous and powerful, and it looks confident. Regardless of whether the result is good or bad, at least in terms of momentum, you can't lose.
Ye Shaochen looked at Ji Ning's straight back, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile, worthy of being his daughter-in-law, she walked so imposingly.
Ji Ning came to his place and found that Chen Mu had already arrived. When he saw her coming, he smiled gently at her.
Ji Ning didn't know how to respond to Chen Mu's smile, so she lowered her head and pretended not to see him. Anyway, this is in the hall, and it's not good for the two to be too familiar.
The judge was Mo Ya, and she was the last to arrive, and as her voice fell, the lawsuit officially began.
This was the most difficult game Ji Ning had ever fought, and he was evenly matched with Chen Mu throughout the whole process, and he suppressed Chen Mu several times. Her spirit was highly nervous, and she didn't see Ye Shaochen in the audience staring at Mo Ya in the center.
His gaze was complicated, and the expression on his face was unclear.
When he suppressed Chen Mu again, Ji Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But before this breath was relaxed for a minute, Chen Mu on the other side showed a meaningful expression to her, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, and soon a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.
Sure enough, Chen Mu slowly took out the last evidence, which was the gap that Ji Ning had been worried about. Chen Mu had a chance to turn over, and he spoke easily.
After a fierce battle, Chen Mu finally turned over with the evidence in his hand and narrowly defeated Ji Ning.
At the end, Ji Ning let out a heavy breath, unable to say whether she was disappointed or what, she only felt that this was the best lawsuit she had fought over the years.
Senior brother is always senior brother, the last time she won Chen Mu, she must have been lucky. In terms of strength, she is still not as good as Chen Mu, so she lost this time.
She lost the heart of the oral administration.
Ji Ning's party may have known that he couldn't win, but he just wanted to fight for it. Moreover, Ji Ning helped them fight for a lot of authority, and the loss was more than half less than they expected, so they had no complaints about Ji Ning.
On the contrary, he was especially grateful to Ji Ning, and kept praising Ji Ning, saying that she was a real lawyer, and invited her to dinner.
Ji Ning was not interested in this kind of business dealing, so he politely declined.
She packed her things and was about to go back, but found that Ye Shaochen was missing, and she didn't see him for a while. Thinking that Ye Shaochen was just going to the toilet, Ji Ning didn't care.
At this time, Chen Mu came over, and he didn't look so aggressive in court when he had changed into civilian clothes, but looked a lot more handsome. His height is about the same as Ye Shaochen, but he doesn't have the coldness of Ye Shaochen.
If it weren't for work, Chen Mu would seem to be a gentle and warm type most of the time, which is very popular with young girls.
When Ji Ning was in college, he also felt that Chen Mu was very attractive, so he admired him. However, after meeting Ye Shaochen, Ji Ning felt that it was nothing at all.
On the one hand, I have experienced a lot of things, I have matured a lot, my taste has changed, I only like a mature and stable man like Ye Shaochen, and I also have a sense of security.
Chen Mu didn't care about Ji Ning's complicated eyes looking at him, walked to him with a smile, as if joking and as if he had finally taken a breath, and said to Ji Ning: "Finally win you for a while, I will finally not lose face in front of my colleagues in our firm." ”
His hands were casually in his trouser pockets, one shoulder lazily leaning against the wall. The eyebrows and eyes are raised, as if he is deliberately trying to make himself look like a prodigal.
I don't know if I'm thinking too much, Ji Ning feels that Chen Mu's action is very much like imitating Ye Shaochen. Ye Shaochen sometimes looks like a ruffian, but his temperament exudes from the inside out, and he does not pretend to be as deliberate as Chen Mu.
is so deliberate, but it makes people feel uncomfortable. Especially Ji Ning, suddenly got goosebumps.
She pretended not to see Chen Mu's intentions, she kept smiling: "How come, your prestige is so high, the people in your office must worship you." ”
"What's the use of prestige, no one else dares to approach, there will always be only one person." Chen Mu smiled bitterly. When he spoke, he looked at the change in Ji Ning's expression, and saw that she didn't react at all, and the wry smile on his face became even heavier.
After saying that, he regretted a little, thinking that he shouldn't have said the hint so obviously, and he couldn't get a response, and now he was embarrassed.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and the two of them looked at each other speechlessly. Ji Ning only thought about where Ye Shaochen was, and didn't have the heart to talk to Chen Mu. And Chen Mu wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
I'm afraid that if I continue to talk about it, the atmosphere will be even more awkward.
In the end, it was Chen Mu's party who appeared, breaking this embarrassment.
After winning the lawsuit, the parties were full of red light, came over to greet Chen Mu, and said that they wanted Chen Mu to participate in their celebration banquet.
Chen Mu's assistant also came out of it, holding the information in his hand, and greeted her when he saw Ji Ning.
Ji Ning hadn't seen this little assistant for a long time, and seeing that he was still shy, his delicate appearance was very cute, and Ji Ning's mood suddenly improved a lot.
She also bowed her head and smiled sincerely, which was regarded as a response to his greeting.
Even the smile was so different, Chen Mu's eyes flickered, and finally sank.
Since returning to China, he has had disagreements with Ji Ning on various matters, resulting in an estrangement between the two. Moreover, Ji Ning is now married, and he will deliberately keep his distance from the opposite sex, so the distance between them is getting bigger and bigger.
Not to mention the familiarity when I went back to college, even if I didn't have the opportunity to sit down with each other and talk well.
"Brother Mu." The assistant shouted, and Chen Mu looked over. The assistant said in a gentle manner: "You have made an appointment with Mr. Wang for a meeting at two o'clock in the afternoon, and before that, we have to go back to the office to get the information, should we go now?" The assistant pointed out the door.
When I hear this kind of thing, it is just to excuse other people's dinners. Ji Ning cast an appreciative look at the assistant, he didn't expect him to be so eye-catching, and as soon as he came out, he knew that Chen Mu didn't want to go to dinner together.
When the people just now heard the assistant say this, they all put away the commercial smiles on their faces and waited for Chen Mu's answer. Chen Mu nodded decisively, with an unfathomable look on his face.
It looked like it was tangled for a moment, and then he said, "Well, go back now." He looked down at his client and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "It looks like we're going to find time to go to dinner together next time." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy first!" The party waved his hand. Everyone knows the business dealings and the mode of getting along. Chen Mu had no intention of going, and they had no intention of inviting, they just did enough to save face.
Chen Mu said: "Okay, next time I'll be the east." ”
That being said, but everyone knows that there will be no next time.
Ji Ning clasped her hands in front of her chest, and watched Chen Mu and his assistant fool others one by one, feeling a little funny, but she couldn't laugh out.
When Chen Mu was about to go out, he asked Ji Ning again: "Does Lawyer Ji want to go with us." When he spoke, his eyes looked elsewhere, and motioned to Ji Ning not to stay, otherwise he would have to deal with the situation he had just now.
