I heard Xiao Dong ask again: "In addition, who are you going to ask to be your defense lawyer this time?" ”

I shook my head, "It's not decided yet." ”

His eyes flashed, and he questioned: "Why are you so indecisive now?" Now that the other party has filed a lawsuit, you should plan accordingly, are you out of the circle and forgotten the process? If you want to apply for a lawyer on the court's side, it's not impossible, I'll see if the itinerary can be arranged. ”

In my heart, Xiao Dong wants to fight this lawsuit for me? But that Zhou Bing was Xiao Zhou's cousin, didn't they fight each other?

Seeing that I was silent, Xiao Dong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" If you have any ideas, just say them. ”

"Senior, I'll hire another lawyer for this case, after all, Zhou Bing was directly submitted to the court for litigation, and he and Xiao Zhou are related, so as not to cause conflicts between the two of you."

Xiao Dong's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at me for a while before he asked in a cold voice: "Jia Ru, do you know what the consequences of losing the lawsuit are?" Your shop will be ordered to cease operations, and your sign will disappear from City A. Who in the industry is more capable than me and can help you minimize your losses? As for Xiaowen, I will persuade you, you don't have to worry about this. ”

"Still not, Xiao Dong." I still refused, and called his name carefully. Facing his cold eyes, he said fearlessly: "Since I have left my post, I don't want to be involved anymore, I should keep my distance from you and avoid suspicion in public and private." I don't take victory or defeat too seriously, if I win, that's the best, if I lose, I can afford to lose this lawsuit. ”

The atmosphere of the space instantly became solemn, and I didn't say anything serious, but I just expressed my attitude. But he also clearly rejected Xiao Dong's kindness, and distanced himself.

"Since that's the case, I'm not forced to be difficult, go and stay at will."

Hearing Xiao Dong say this, I said in my heart that it was not unusual, it was fake, got up from the chair and nodded to him and turned to leave. When he came to the door, he paused and said softly: "Xiao Dong, thank you today." But once many things are decided, it is difficult to look back, and looking back, it is just that things have changed, and things are wrong. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Dong to respond, I opened the door and walked out.

When I walked downstairs and bumped into Xiao Zhou, the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and there was a shallow sneer in my eyes.

Xiao Zhouying walked over and said to me with a smile: "Sister Jia Ru, I'm done talking to Brother Dong." ”

I only nodded slightly, "Don't disturb your work." The words passed past her and walked out the door. But he heard the footsteps coming behind him, and Xiao Zhou called behind: "Sister Jia Ru wait." When I paused and turned around, she hesitated and asked, "Has Brother Dong taken over your case?" ”

Suddenly, I lost the heart of socializing with her, and threw a sentence: "Isn't it better for you to ask him about this matter yourself?" ”

Without looking at Xiao Zhou's face, I walked straight out of the door of the court. I was standing at the intersection and was about to stop the car, but I heard the sound of the car horn coming from the side, and my eyes paused, and I walked over.

"You haven't left?" When I got in the car, I asked the person in the driver's seat.

"I shook it around and came back."

I'm not going to poke him out, obviously because he's not going to know I'm not leaving the courthouse and I'm stupid here.

After driving a while, Zhou Yu asked me, "How is it, how are you going to talk about it?" ”

There was no need to hide it, and directly told him about the unfavorable evidence provided by Zhou Bing. He didn't rush to respond to me, but there was silence in the car for a while, knowing that he was thinking, and I didn't bother him when he was driving.

As my mind turns, I can't help but think of the last conversation with Xiao Dong just now, which is somewhat similar to when I absolutely resigned. Although Xiao Dong's face was not pale, he had the same emotion in his eyes - disappointment.

"There's a problem."

Zhou Yu stepped on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road and spoke.

I asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"It feels like it's been planned for a long time."

The space froze for a moment, and I asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

He looked at me with sparkling eyes, "What do you think, who would think of testing food first thing after their wife and children are admitted to the hospital?" I'm afraid he sent people to the hospital that day, and he didn't even have time to go home. ”

"You mean the drink that was sent for testing failed because it took too long?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, "Are you sure that all the procedures in the test report you saw just now are normal?" ”

I thought about it and nodded: "There will be no problem with the procedures, I have checked it carefully, it is the same as our random inspection health inspection report, and the court will verify this kind of document, it is impossible for Zhou Bing to dare to forge evidence and submit it to the court." ”

"Will there be a loophole in timing?"

"I can't be sure about this, I'll have to deal with the health bureau to find out."

Zhou Yu thought for a while and then slowly spoke: "At present, Liu Bing's mentality is problematic, as if he is specifically trying to destroy your store. But it doesn't seem reasonable to bet on the bodies of your wife and children in order to deal with you. ”

I have considered this issue from the beginning, but now that Liu Bing's wife and children are admitted to the hospital, it is a fact, and from this point of view, it is impossible for him to deliberately frame me in order to bring down the night rain in Bashan. At the moment, the point is that the half of the drink that was sent to the health bureau did have a problem!

"Jia Ru, do you have confidence in your own things?" Zhou Yu suddenly asked me.

After their eyes met for a moment, I nodded, "Yes." ”

He started the car and said, "That's fine." Remember, no matter how precisely arranged the game, there will eventually be flaws. ”

There was a wave in his heart, he called this a "bureau"? Thinking back on the whole incident, it does feel strange, could it really be that someone is secretly manipulating? Is it Allen? In order to defeat me, he cooperated with Zhou Bing earlier?

"Your senior is so unkind?"

was thinking about it, but he was suddenly interrupted, and he didn't react for a while: "What's not kind?" ”

He smiled and said, "You have such a big deal, and that Xiao Dong doesn't say that he will be a lawyer for you, and he won't help at all?" ”

Frowned at him, was this tone ridiculous or mocking? "I mentioned it, but I refused."

"Oh?" There was an excited look on his face, "Why?" ”

"There's no why."

He didn't ask, but the corners of his mouth kept curling when he drove behind. can't help but make people wonder about this person's motive for staying outside the court, is he hostile to Xiao Dong again?

Although I can answer Xiao Dong hard and say that victory or defeat is acceptable, it is false to say that I don't care, and my heart is always like a stone, which is very uncomfortable. The next day, Zhou Yu called me and said that he had found a lawyer for an interview, and the address was about to be in Bashan Yeyu.

I first went to Bashan to open the door in the night rain, opened the doors and windows to breathe, and cleaned the store again.

Suddenly, someone behind me asked, "Is this shop open?" ”

I turned my head to see a young man and a woman standing by the door, and I recognized them when I looked closely. They used to be my regular customers, and they would come over for a while almost every day, and even an afternoon on weekends.

The girl apparently recognized me as well: "Boss lady? But by the time you arrived, my boyfriend and I have been here several times, and we have been seeing you closed. Do you have any drinks to drink today? ”

I smiled and walked over, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, but the store hasn't been reopened for a short period of time." ”

"Ahh ”

The boy next to her immediately said, "Drinking more coffee is not good for your health." ”

The girl shrugged, "Boss, look at him, every time." Only when he comes to you to drink, he agrees, and he himself says that it is delicious. So when are you going to start this? It doesn't seem to have been renovated. ”

I am glad to be recognized and affirmed, but the actual problem is there, and I clearly replied that it is unlikely that it will be open one day. With a slight movement in my heart, I said gently to the two of them: "Actually, the main reason for the closure and rectification of the store this time is that our drinks may be converted to shopping malls, and we are still negotiating, so please be patient, okay?" ”

"Really? In the future, Bashan Night Rain will also be available in shopping malls? Do you have seats to sit on? ”

I smiled and nodded: "That's natural, our main business is a tea bar model, not a fast-food drink." ”

"That's the best, so that we don't have to run around on a weekend date, and when we're tired from shopping on the street or watching a movie, we can go to your store for a drink and sit down."

"You'll be welcome then."

His gaze swept over the young couple and fell to the two figures standing at the door. Needless to say, the man next to him who looked to be about thirty years old should be the lawyer agreed today, and the two seemed to have been standing there and listening for a while.

When the little couple left, I stepped forward.
