{28th Floor Revolving Cafeteria}

Resplendent and splendid, singing and dancing, red and green, mellow and fragrant.

Ashley wore a Youngor custom suit with a BVLGARI blue checked tie, and the new GUCCI leather shoes, Casio silver watches, were sent from France only last week.

For this occasion, it is better to keep a low profile, I chose an off-white off-the-shoulder lace skirt, a 7cm heel of Jimmy Choo crystal bricks, and a pale pink pouch from Miu Miu.

Even though I held Ashley in my arms, as soon as I walked into the crowd, the warblers and swallows still pounced on me.

"Hey, Ashley, long time no see?" The greeting was the Nth junior of the real estate predator.

"Tut-tut, have you changed your girlfriend again?" Now it is the sister of a financial leader who speaks out.

"Ashley, have you forgotten about people?" Listening to this unbearable tone, you know that it is the daughter of a banker who has lived in Taiwan for a long time.

"Why, this is not a sight." Ashley tossed around with ease, and I was too busy laughing as I pretended I hadn't heard anything. Everyone knows that Ashley has been single for a long time, and every time her girlfriend is either me or her sister in the law firm, but she still quipped.

The dance music sounded, and my right hand held me up in the palm of my hand, and he made an inviting gesture, but put my fingers in his palm, as if waiting for my response, but it was clearly too strong for me to refuse. The little girls around her whirled, their skirts waving like waves. My little skirt is too snug and not as elegant and beautiful as theirs.

"Well, I should have learned to dance earlier." I thought to myself.

I sighed softly in my heart and stepped forward.

Ashley and I waltzed in accord, in fact, I couldn't do anything else since I stepped on his expensive leather shoes countless times. Because the waltz is not very demanding for women, almost only forward and backward movements are carried out after starting to move, while the rotation is done by all men.

"Ashley" was greeted by General Manager Li of Huanyu Beijing Branch.

"Hello, this is Lavender, V.A.'s lawyer." The two shook hands politely, and I nodded my head.

"I know, I heard Lao Xiao say that he helped us win the lawsuit two days ago, it's very powerful, and it deserves to be brought out by you."

"The things that are within the division, the things that are within the division, General Manager Li has been promoted."

"We're good at everything here, it's just too noisy. You see, it's hard to get together with so many old friends who cross borders, so I can only go to a cleaner place inside to catch up with the old days. ”

The general manager started Tai Chi, and Ashley handed me the wine glass, and I hurriedly said, "That won't bother you two." ”

The business community uses tactful social networking as a means to never let go of such a good opportunity as the party, but even the general manager of Huanyu has come out, which must not be a trivial matter.

I turned around and put two goblets on the waiter's tray, grabbed a glass of fresh orange juice, and sat down in the corner and slowly ate tiramisu.

Suddenly, a shadow came, and I looked up to see Gu Mingyuan holding red wine, with one hand in his pocket, approaching me, and I stood up.

"Director Gu."

"Lawyer An, can you dance with me?"

I tilted my head and reached for his palm.

In the next second, the poor dancing skills can only be covered up with unfamiliar and tacit understanding.

Gu Mingyuan's etiquette, I fully appreciated.

The lightness of the hug around the waist, the deliberate distance to keep it safe, the way to prevent me from falling when I turn in circles, and the hand that I don't fully hold.

"Have you been busy at work lately?" He said in a pleasant voice.

"It's fine." I shook my head.

"How about going to see the sunrise together that weekend?" There was a slight glint in his eyes, and there was anticipation.

A song is coming to an end, and the last few notes are struggling. The couples around him are still hugging and warming, and the commercial dance partners have already bowed and left.

"Okay, you come and pick me up."

"Of course," Qu Bi, Gu Mingyuan held my hand, bent down slightly, and then took out the mobile phone from his pocket, unlocked it with his thumb, and handed it to me.

Ask a girl to watch the sunrise? I wanted to sleep a little more in the morning, and the corners of my mouth raised slightly.

"You're not curious about in-house counsel?" I'm a little bolder, too.

"The general manager is here to talk about this today, and it will be a long time coming."

How long is it coming? I haven't figured out these four words yet...

"Director Gu." Ashley appeared behind him.

"Ashley, I've heard of it for a long time." Gu Mingyuan's gaze crossed me.

Know each other? I sensed that something wasn't quite right and stepped away from the two of them.

Ashley walked in my direction, but looked at Gu Mingyuan and said, "It's not as young and promising as Mr. Gu, and you are thriving in the industry." ”

I frowned slightly, Ashley was a big talker.

The two exchanged pleasantries as if they were friends, and the topics they talked about were simple and extremely safe.

Suddenly, his left hand was grabbed. I was stunned and looked down to see that Ashley had stuffed a crystal candy into his palm.

Why are you so naïve, I rolled my eyes secretly.

Ten minutes passed, and I didn't mention the matter of Huanyu legal affairs, and I had some indescribable feelings in my heart, and the future was controlled by unrelated people. Does Gu Mingyuan want me to stay? How much of a role did he play in fueling the fire? What does Ashley think?

“Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for us to welcome Mr.Lee.”

The waltz music paused, and Mr. Li took the stage to give a speech.

A short summary, a ceremonial toast, and an outlook for the second half of the year.

I felt that I was about to turn around and quietly retreat to the back, when Gu Mingyuan took a plate of lightning puffs, tilted his head and smiled at me, so he had to be respectful and obedient - the lemon flavor had not yet reached his mouth, and he heard him say something

"Welcome, my new colleague."

New colleagues?

"One of the important agendas of our Huanyu in the second half of the year is to vigorously build the legal department. Today, my old friend Ashley, a senior partner at V.A, is here, so let's raise a glass and look forward to working with V.A! ”

The answer is in the next second, in the speech of the general manager of Huanyu.

What a surprise.

What kind of calculation did Ashley make, and why did Gu Mingyuan know everything about this matter?

Last night's toasters were in batches, and although Ashley had blocked a lot, I still woke up in the morning feeling dizzy.

Open the refrigerator, pour a bowl of fresh milk, and sprinkle a third of the corn flakes, which is simply a delicious taste in the world of fast breakfast.

Sit cross-legged on the couch with a bowl and call the assistant to ask about the next case.

"The Daily Schedule shows we haven't had a case this week, Sister Lavender."

"Oh, how could it be? Is there something wrong with the system?

"Ashley is in the office, sister, do you want to call the inside line to ask for a look."

Ashley went to work, and I was a little surprised.

"When did he arrive at the office?"

"It was there before nine o'clock. When I came, the humidifier in the office was already on. ”

After an hour of light makeup, I knocked on the door of Ashley's office.

"Boss has a lot of alcohol, I drank so much last night and can get up early to work today."

I put the honey syrup I just bought on the table.

Ashley didn't even lift his head, turned around and took a stack of materials from the cabinet and handed it to me—

"Don't come with me, I know what you want to ask, but I'll talk about it later," he glanced at his watch and motioned for me to sit down, "There are still 25 hours before the Sheng Feng case opens, the information will pass quickly, and accompany me to court tomorrow"

Appear in court? What about Shao Tian's lawyer group?

I hurriedly turned over the evidence, not bothering to ask why I was suddenly involved in this case.

The office was silent, save for the faint sound of Ashley tapping on the keyboard, flipping through papers, and humidifiers.

"What is this?" Ashley pointed to the sugar water and knocked on the table, his tone several times higher, "I thought it was a decaf mocha." ”

I picked up the pencil and made a slight annotation, held my head in my left hand and smiled: "It's honey water." ”

Ashley pushed the cup towards me, "No." ”

"You gave me a piece of candy last time, and this time I'll give you a glass of sweet water." I quipped.

Ashley stood up suddenly, walked up to me, half-leaned on the table, "Why, do you have to be so clear with me?" ”

It's over, it's going to start again, can't this guy be serious for two days?

Can't afford to joke anymore this is? I ignored him and studied the case on my own.

"What do you think of this case?" He changed the subject.

The pen swirled in my hand, and I was unhurried: "You drink the honey water first, it's a hangover." I'll share ideas with you after drinking."

Ashley nodded, unable to hide a smile in his eyes, took the pen from my hand, scribbled on the memo, and then put it on the back, "Okay." Let's see if we want to go together. ”

A glass of pale yellow water bottoms out.

I opened the evidence and came one by one: "The prosecution alleges that the two most important elements are the use of violence, coercion and other means, and the violation of the woman's will. According to the current appraisal opinion, the victim had minor injuries, and the first condition was easily achieved. As for whether the victim's will was violated, she is now also included in the list of witnesses by the prosecution, and her confession is basically the main thing when the trial begins, and this matter has such a big impact that it is easy to win the sympathy of jurors and judges. ”

Ashley motioned for me to move on.

"Therefore, I suggest that the veracity of a confession be discarded by the low credibility of the witnesses, which requires a clever set of questions."

"For example?" It seems, at least for now, that Ashley isn't too interested in my ideas.

"For example, ask her, what is the relationship with Liu Ranran?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ashley snapped his fingers - "Bingo"

Then he opened his memo and saw three letters: D. N. A.

"I agreed with Aunt Shao, and you will appear in court as my assistant tomorrow."

At eight o'clock in the morning, half an hour before the start of the trial, the entrance of the courthouse was surrounded by reporters. The victim hired a large number of people who shouted grievances, and two large banners read brightly, "Please judge the decision and severely punish Sheng Feng!" "Give me back my innocence! Give me back my reputation! ”

I was in the co-pilot, and I sweated from afar, this is too feudal society, this 21st century has been, and the court has not been opened to pay off the innocence? It's better to sound the gong and ask Lord Qingtian to call the shots for you.

Sheng drove four Lamborghini, and in addition to the lawyer team and relatives and friends, the company's veteran spectators also arrived. I secretly comforted myself, fortunately, there were so many explosions, Ashley and I could silently make a detour into the courthouse.

That's impossible.

Even if the Sheng Group was eye-catching, it was still rushed by sharp-eyed reporters.

"Is this the first criminal case that V.A has received?"

"If the lawsuit is lost, will it have any impact on the future development of V.A."

"How sure is Mr. Ashley winning today?"

Ashley waved his hand, "No comment. He circled me and walked briskly into the courthouse.
