Lawyer's character

"Well, you're a good boy, you're ambitious. When you arrive in Germany, tell me and I'll pick you up at the airport. You have my home address. If you have anything, you can send me a WeChat or email." Li Shuming was a little reluctant to leave, and his eyes were a little moist.

There are too many memories of him here, as well as a group of his friends, but his parents went there last year, and his wife, children, and home are all there...

"Okay, it's not like I won't come back. Remember to send me a WeChat message before you come back and I'll treat you to a drink." Fang Yi patted his arm and smiled: "Let's go have a drink."

The two got up and walked towards the barbecue grill.

No matter how high the enthusiasm is, it can't withstand the cold weather. Although the local winter is not as freezing as the winter in the Northeast, it can't be tolerated for a long time.

After about half an hour, everyone moved their positions and went inside to continue drinking and eating barbecue. Everyone worked hard for a day and added a lot of popularity to the villa.

On Sunday, Fang Yi's family officially moved into the villa, and the nanny Aunt Zhou also came with them. In the days to come, Yun Qiao would come over from time to time to join in the fun and have a meal. But she still prefers living in the original house.

A week later, Fang Yi's house next to the school was rented out to a family of three. The rent was not cheap. The other party's children attended the Experimental Middle School. The main reason for renting Fang Yi's house was that it was close to the school.

It's nice to live in the villa, but Fang Youcai feels that the large green grassland surrounded by trees in the front and back yards is too much of a waste. He always wants to organize a vegetable plot to grow some vegetables after spring.

After Fang Yi learned about it, he advised his father not to destroy the lawn, but Fang Youcai disagreed and told him that there was a villa in front of him that raised chickens and ducks in the yard, so growing vegetables was nothing.

Fang Yi knew that the villa his father was talking about was the villa where the parents of the developer's boss lived. They not only raised chickens and ducks, but also raised pigs before. But in the summer, the smell was too strong, and all the relatives and friends around them went to the property management company without telling them. , and finally the old couple had to give up.

Yunmei thought growing vegetables was a good idea, so she talked with the property management company about building a sun shed in the backyard, which would be beautiful and allow for growing vegetables. In the winter, flowers could be put in and used as a small garden, which served multiple purposes. The property showed that Fang Yi's villa was in the last row, and building a sun shed would not affect other people, so he agreed.

Yunmei contacted the construction team and prepared to start construction in the spring to fulfill the old man's wish.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was December. Wan Kefa approached Fang Yi to discuss changing the director of the law firm. However, Fang Yi felt that although he had gained some fame, his qualifications were still relatively young and needed training, so he declined repeatedly and finally had no choice but to agree to Wan Kefa. But the law will definitely change in June.

Wan Kefa understood what Fang Yi meant, but the fat old man had already planned to retreat to the second line. During this period, he had been clearing obstacles on the road for Fang Yi, otherwise Ma Yi would not have left Sidley Law Firm.

In the face of interests, friendship is very unstable and not even worth mentioning. Ma Yi's departure is not what Fang Yi wants, but it is related to him. It is not what Fang Yi wants to see, but he has to face it. right.

Fang Yi didn't want to argue, but Wan Kefa was optimistic about him and wanted him to be promoted. Almost all the partners at Sidley Law Firm knew this. When he was put on a shelf, it meant offending people, those who were ambitious but not favored.

This morning, Yun Qiao walked in: "Master, New Year's Day will be celebrated in more than eight months. Do you want to give everyone some gifts?"

"Okay, you can look at the arrangements. You can buy gifts or give shopping cards. It won't exceed a thousand yuan per person." Fang Yi thought for a moment and said. You still need to have what you should have during the holidays, and humanistic care is still needed. Yes, let everyone be happy too.

"Okay." Yun Qiao said and left the office.

At this moment, Fang Yi's cell phone rang. It was Lu Zhengfeng, Mr. Lu of the Legal Department of Fahrenheit Group. Lu Zhengfeng was finally rehabilitated last year. He is now the boss of the legal department and a direct descendant of Chairman Zhang Jun. He is the one who contacts Fang Yi every time something happens to the group.

Fahrenheit Group is quite kind. The annual legal fees of 300,000 yuan are not enough to consult a few questions. If there is a case, you have to pay separately. This is not a good thing.

"Mr. Lu, hello." Fang Yi said very politely.

"Lawyer Fang, we haven't contacted each other for a while. I heard that you have been promoted to first-level partner of Sidley Austin Law Firm. Congratulations! Congratulations!" Lu Zhengfeng's voice sounded very relaxed on the phone, and you could tell that he must be in a good mood recently. .

"Thank you, it's not worth mentioning. It's all an internal adjustment of the law firm. When will you come over, I'll treat you to dinner." Fang Yi said politely.

"Okay, I'll make sure to call you before I go there..." After joking for a while, Lu Zhengfeng said seriously: "There is something I want to ask you for a favor."

"Tell me." Fang Yi thought to himself: It must be for personal matters to spend so much time talking about feelings. If it were business matters, it would have been brought up straight to the point.

"Lawyer Fang, Vice President Zhou of our company's security department went out for fun and had a few drinks. He encountered a car accident on the way back and was arrested by the traffic police." Lu Zhengfeng said.

"Drunk driving? Where is the case now?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, it is said that it was drunk driving and the first trial has already been decided. The lawyer in the first trial was hired by the family themselves, and the verdict was not ideal. His wife called me and asked you to defend him in the second trial.

Lawyer Fang, this is a private matter. I have a good relationship with Vice President Zhou, so of course I won’t let your work go in vain. You can just negotiate the lawyer’s fees directly with his wife. " Lu Zhengfeng said.

"Okay, let them come to me directly. I'll take a look at the case first." Fang Yi agreed.

"Okay, thank you!" Lu Zhengfeng said and hung up the phone.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Vice President Zhou mentioned by Lu Zhengfeng came with his wife. Vice President Zhou’s name is Zhou Kaidong, and his wife’s name is Zheng Qiuna.

On the day of the accident, Zheng Qiuna hired a lawyer and applied for Zhou Kaidong's bail pending trial, and he was released the next day.

Fang Yi took Yun Qiao into the conference room. Drunk driving cases are relatively simple, so Fang Yi intended to let Yun Qiao take charge of the case.

"Mr. Zhou, have you brought the criminal judgment of the first instance?" Fang Yi asked after a few polite words and introductions to each other.

"Bring it, I really didn't drink that day, I drank the night before." Zhou Kaidong felt that he was the unluckiest person in the world, and then he told the story of the case.

On the weekend a month ago, he made an appointment with some friends and took his family to the beach for vacation. The night before coming back, my brothers were very happy. They ate seafood, drank white wine, blew the sea breeze, and watched the sea view. It was so comfortable. So Zhou Kaidong and his friends drank a few more drinks until after one o'clock and went back to sleep.

The next morning, things went wrong for everyone, and several friends drove away. Zhou Kaidong also got up early, got up at around five o'clock, and drove home with his family.

There is another chapter at the end, which I am currently typing, and will be updated later!
