Lawyer

After reading the case files several times, Fang Yi spent a day drafting a lawyer's defense opinion, and mailed it to the Supreme Court in Beijing early the next morning.

Not long after the mailing, Fang Yi received a call from the Supreme Court judge in charge of Zhong Weican's death penalty review of the trafficking case, asking him to go to the Supreme Court for an interview in a day.Fang Yi felt a burst of excitement, it seemed that there was something to be said about this case.

When it was almost noon, Fang Yi called Zhong Weicheng after he came out of the Supreme Court, told him about the interview and asked him to wait for news.

On this day, Fang Yi was reading materials in the office, and Cao Yongzheng walked in excitedly.

"Lawyer Fang, the Yu Lidong enterprise restructuring and bribery case that I asked you about before has been judged. This is the verdict." Cao Yongzheng handed a verdict to Fang Yi with both hands.

This was the first criminal case he handled after he transferred to Fang Yi's team. He wanted to make a good impression on Boss Fang, so he was under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, the verdict basically met his expectations.

The court held that the defendant, Yu Lidong, as a national employee, took advantage of his position as the director of the boiler factory and the leader of the leading group for the restructuring of the factory to transfer the land of the boiler factory and mobilize the employees of the factory to relocate so that Wansheng Company In the process of successfully completing the demolition, providing job assistance to the company and asking for property from it constituted the crime of accepting bribes.The charges charged by the public prosecution agency were found guilty, and Lidong should be given a heavier punishment in accordance with the law.

The fact that the public prosecution agency accused Yu Lidong of asking for a cash check of [-] yuan from Wansheng Company was not based on sufficient evidence.

Yu Lidong voluntarily confessed that he had asked for 10 yuan in cash from Guan Keyu, the chairman of Wansheng Company, when the clues held by the procuratorial organ were not established against the criminal facts. According to the Opinions on Several Issues Concerning Sentencing Circumstances such as Self-surrender and Meritorious Service in Duty-Based Crime Cases, self-surrender should be considered, and punishment can be mitigated according to law.

The defendant withdrew all of his illegal gains after Li Dong was brought to justice and could be given a lighter punishment as appropriate.According to the criminal circumstances and repentance of the defendant Yu Lidong, it was decided to reduce his punishment and apply probation.

Based on this, the defendant Yu Lidong was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for accepting bribes, suspended for four years, and 10 yuan of property was confiscated; 10 yuan of defendant Yu Lidong's illegal gains were confiscated and turned over to the state treasury.

After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, Yu Lidong did not appeal, nor did the procuratorate protest, and the verdict has taken legal effect.

"Well, you did a good job. What did the defendant's family say?" Fang Yi smiled and looked at the little fat man Cao Yongzheng.

"Finally, the sentence was probated and he didn't have to go to prison. The defendant and his family were very happy, so they treated me to a meal." Cao Yongzheng said excitedly, and the flesh on his face twitched.

"Work hard, as long as it is gold, it can shine in our team." Fang Yi encouraged him a few more words, and Cao Yongzheng left the office in a happy mood.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Yongzheng hurried out of the gate of the law firm with a shoulder bag on his back after work.

After more than ten minutes, he walked into an unremarkable small restaurant with an excited expression on his face.In the corner of the restaurant, an ordinary-looking, slightly chubby girl saw him enter the door, and raised her right hand to signal to him.

"Xiaowei, there is a traffic jam on the road, have you ordered food?" Cao Yongzheng came by taxi just now, just in time for get off work, and the city is a bit congested.

Xiaowei is Cao Yongzheng's girlfriend, and the two are college classmates. The relationship between the two was confirmed in their senior year, but because Cao Yongzheng's family is from the village, they don't have the financial resources to buy him a house in the city, and Xiaowei's mother doesn't see rabbits. Ying, Wu Fang did not agree to get married, so the two of them have been hanging, unable to go further.

Xiao Wei drank the free barley tea provided by the hotel, her complexion was not very good, and she didn't argue with each other.

"Have you ordered?" Cao Yongzheng asked again, put the bag aside, picked up the menu and prepared to order Xiaowei's favorite sweet and sour short ribs.

"My uncle, he introduced me to a boyfriend. His family runs a factory..." Xiaowei's voice was very low, but it sounded like a thunderbolt to Cao Yongzheng's ears.

Cao Yongzheng was holding the menu, as if he had been hit by acupuncture points, he froze.For so many years, he couldn't give Xiaowei a safe nest, so he could only satisfy her as much as possible in terms of food and drink, but what should come still came.

"Xiaowei, four years, four years of feelings, can it really be worth a flat?" After being stunned for more than ten seconds, Cao Yongzheng's eyes were full of reluctance and reluctance.

"Four years...you know four years.

When you graduated, I asked you to join me in the company to practice law. Although you can't make a lot of money, you can have a decent life, but you said that it is not your ideal. You want to be a lawyer and make a lot of money. In the future, buy me a big house and hold a decent wedding.

Okay, I support you wanting to make a lot of money as a lawyer, but in reality, you have been a trainee lawyer for a whole year, and the few hundred yuan you earn every month is not enough for us to rent a house.

It’s been a long time since you got your lawyer’s license, but you can’t find a case to do, so you can only work as an assistant to the master. The salary is 500 yuan a month, and the salary rises to 3000 yuan in the second year, and the salary increases in the third year. At 500 yuan, working overtime day and night... your salary is not as high as mine.

Let me ask you, when will you be able to buy a house with this salary?The combined salary of the two of us is just over 8000.You have been working for more than three years, what about the promise you made to me?We can't even afford the down payment to buy a house...

Yongzheng, I'm already 28, I don't want to wait any longer...I can't wait..." Xiaowei complained in a low voice, her tears fell like broken pearls, her eyes were full of helplessness Disappointed, I kept muttering in my heart: I'm sorry, I'm sorry...

Xiaowei doesn't know when Cao Yongzheng will fulfill his promise, in fact Cao Yongzheng doesn't know when he will fulfill his promise, he is also distressed.Now that he joined Fang Yi's team, he finally had some hope, but his girlfriend disappeared.

Cao Yongzheng lowered his head, his eyes were full of tears, his mind went blank, what else could he say, the reality is like this.Xiaowei's mother introduced her to a boyfriend before, and Xiaowei did not hesitate to turn against her family for love, but love still did not overcome reality after all.

"Two, what do you want to eat?" The waitress came over, holding a pen and paper, waiting to order.

"Sweet and sour short ribs..." Cao Yongzheng raised his head, staring at the menu, and ordered Xiaowei's favorite dish.

After the waiter left, Cao Yongzheng managed to squeeze out a smile, and looked at her: "The last meal, the breakup meal." His tone was very sad.

After all, the break-up meal was not completed, and Xiao Wei took the bag and left without waiting for the food to be served.

Cao Yongzheng felt uncomfortable, and walked out of the restaurant in a daze.

A teacher in college once said that love should be based on a solid foundation in real life, otherwise, it is just a fruitless flower blooming on the living tree of life.

At that time, Cao Yongzheng was very innocent and didn't understand what the teacher meant, but now he finally understands.
