Lawyer's character

"Thank you. I won't bother you. I'll just take a taxi there." He declined the dinner. The small gift was a thoughtful gift. If he didn't accept it, he would be looking down on him. Fang Yi couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

Yunmei sent Fang Yi to the entrance of the restaurant before returning. Fang Yi took a taxi to Huihuang.

Yunmei kept his word. At around 11 a.m. the next day, the accountant told Fang Yi that the final payment of 100,000 yuan for Yunmei's case had been received.

This legal fee is not a small amount. Zhengyi Law Firm may not encounter such a large amount of legal fees in a year. When he thought that Fang Yi wanted to withdraw 60%, Sun Zhengyi felt a little reluctant to give up, but he agreed. You still have to give what you deserve, and Director Sun still has the bottom line.

The weather was getting warmer day by day. On Saturday, Fang Yi went to Xiangyang Community to pick up her son Xiaozhi back to his hometown. This time, Cao Xiaohui did not ridicule Fang Yi, nor did she give him an ultimatum to send her son back. She was not in good spirits, and some malaise.

After getting off the bus, Fang Anzhi followed his father and walked along the cement road towards the village.

"Xiao Zhi, is your mother feeling unwell lately?" Fang Yi asked as he walked.

"No." Fang Anzhi walked with his head down, not in a high mood.

"What's wrong with you? Don't want to come back to see grandpa?" Fang Yi asked, finding that the child was a little depressed.

"No...Mom...Mom is laid off." Fang Anzhi raised his head and looked at his father.

Hearing his son's words, Fang Yi suddenly stopped, turned around and squatted down to look at his son: "How do you know?"

"A few aunties came here a few days ago, and my mother coaxed me into the small bedroom to do my homework. They were chattering in the living room, and I heard it." Fang Anzhi said.

Cao Xiaohui's company has been suspended in recent months due to operational problems. A large company from another province that the county came to attract investment took a fancy to her company's land and wanted to buy it for real estate development. After several contacts, With the coordination of the county, both parties finally reached an agreement.

The placement of Cao Xiaohui and more than 100 employees became a problem. The new company was unwilling to take over, and the old company was no longer able to operate. Finally, after coordination with the county and paying compensation to employees in accordance with the law, all labor relations were terminated across the board (that is, all small businesses were Zhi said laid off).

The company's wages are very low, and even veteran employees who have worked for more than 20 years cannot get much compensation. The employees are unwilling to take the money and leave, but they have no other choice but to work hard.

In order to solve employee problems as soon as possible, company leaders formed a working group, talked to employees one by one, worked on them, and even coaxed and deceived them to get them to sign one after another.

Cao Xiaohui also signed. After calculating the severance compensation, the total was only 50,000 yuan. The children had to go to cram schools, the family car had to be refueled, and the house loan was more than 800 per month. It was definitely not an option to continue like this.

There were not many industries and not many companies in the county. Finding a job that paid well was difficult. Cao Xiaohui submitted a lot of resumes during this period, but she was older, already over thirty-five, and had no The company is willing to hire her. Fortunately, she has been working in the financial department for these years and is familiar with handling company accounts. She usually does odd jobs and does accounting for other companies, so she can earn a little money to support her family.

Fang Yi stood up and sighed secretly. Finally, his life had improved a bit. His ex-wife's job was gone again, and his son followed his ex-wife... This life... really couldn't keep up with the changes in plans.

Xiaozhi will go to junior high school in another year. Cao Xiaohui's hard work these years has paid off. With Xiaozhi's grades, it shouldn't be a big problem to get into a key middle school in the county. As a result, his ex-wife suddenly lost his job, and Fang Yi wondered whether this would affect his children's academic performance.

Xiaozhi seemed to have grown up after not seeing him for a while. When he returned to his grandfather's house and chatted with his grandfather for a while after dinner, he would take out his textbooks and preview them in advance.

Seeing that his grandson was so eager to learn, Fang Youcai suddenly remembered Fang Yi's serious study as a child, and then thought of his wife who had died many years ago.

Fang Youcai silently put away his tobacco bag, walked to the gate, sat on the stone steps and smoked tobacco to avoid choking his grandson. Fang Yi also wisely walked aside to do something, trying not to disturb his son's study.

On Sunday afternoon, on the way back to see Xiaozhi off, Fang Yi went to the bank.

The doorbell rang. Cao Xiaohui's hair was disheveled and she had a pencil between her ears. After opening the security door, she glanced at Fang Yi and said nothing.

Nowadays, she has long lost the domineering aura of the past, and her hair is not as neat as before. Fang Yi followed Fang Anzhi into the door, took out a bag of money from his shoulders and placed it on the coffee table.

"What are you doing?" Cao Xiaohui asked with a look in her eyes.

"This is child support, one thousand a month. While I have some money, I will pay it in advance for nine years, a total of one hundred and eight thousand yuan, to prevent it from being squandered.

It's time for Xiaozhi to grow, so get him more delicious food. "Fang Yi said with a wooden face.

Sister Lan gave him 50,000 yuan before, plus the balance of Yunmei's legal fees, he withdrew less than 60,000 yuan (after tax). Fang Yi wanted to take out all the money in the bank card, but then he thought of this It was too obvious. Even if it was to supplement the mother and son, she still had to leave enough dignity for Cao Xiaohui. It would be best if she didn't do it so openly.

After much deliberation, Fang Yi only withdrew one hundred and eight thousand yuan, which was exactly nine years of alimony. The money left in his bank account is enough for his daily expenses.

"Where did you get so much money?" Cao Xiaohui was stunned when she saw the banknotes on the coffee table. In her impression, Fang Yi was just a salaried lawyer earning a dead salary, and it was impossible for him to come up with so much money at once.

"I get commission from being a lawyer. Don't worry, it's all clean money and I haven't done anything illegal or criminal. Put it away quickly and deposit it in the bank another day. Don't keep it at home. It's not safe.

I'm leaving first! "Fang Yi smiled after saying that, turned around and walked towards the door.

Cao Xiaohui suddenly reacted and yelled at Fang Yi's back who had not yet gone out: "Don't think I can forgive you like this! Impossible!"

Cao Xiaohui's reaction made Fang Anzhi, who was standing aside, a little overwhelmed, with a trace of panic in his eyes.

Fang Yi paused, without looking back, then walked to the door, opened it and walked out.

Looking at Fang Yi leaving, Cao Xiaohui couldn't stop crying anymore.

As he walked on the road, Fang Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt that he was just a passing god of wealth. He was like this before the divorce, and he was still like this after the divorce. Who should say that he owed others something? The stir-fried noodles at the entrance of the community started walking.

On Monday, Sister Lan wore big sunglasses, carried a small bag, and walked into Zhengyi Law Firm with a strong and fast pace on her short legs.

"Hello, Mr. Gao, the director is in the office. I will take you there." Seeing Sister Lan enter the door, the front desk hurriedly walked out as if welcoming a distinguished guest.
