Lawyer's character

"As long as you transfer here, we will immediately and unconditionally promote you to a partner, and you will not be a partner in name only, but a second-level partner who can participate in the management of our law firm." Xia Jun threw out another one that he thought was very attractive. condition.

"I'm sorry, I was promoted to partner less than a year ago, and I don't want to change law firms right now." Fang Yi put away his smile and said seriously.

"Lawyer Xia, let's drink. Let's not talk about that." Li Mingbo felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and raised his glass.

Seeing Li Mingbo like this, Xia Jun couldn't say anything more, but the wine he drank later felt a little uncomfortable. After chatting for a while, the three of them were full and satisfied and left the hotel.

After Xia Jun greeted the two of them, he took a taxi and left. The hotel booked by Lee Myung-bak was relatively close to the restaurant. Fang Yi knew that he was going to drink today, so he didn't drive. The two of them walked to the hotel and chatted.

"Lawyer Fang, I'm so sorry. I thought Xia Jun wanted to get to know you, but I didn't expect..." Li Mingbo said awkwardly.

"It's nothing, it's not your fault. Lawyer Xia persuaded me to change firms and wanted to recruit lawyers for my own law firm. I understand. Is he a second-level partner there now?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, it is said that he is a second-level partner. In fact, I have a normal relationship with him. When we were trainee lawyers, we were in the same law firm. Later, he transferred to the city. It is said that he can earn five or six hundred thousand a year." There was envy in Lee Myung-bak's tone.

In fact, Xia Jun has always looked down upon Li Mingbo since his internship. He felt that he was too brainy and did not know how to adapt. Moreover, his family was from the village below and he had no background, so he would not be able to use him in the future.

The reason why he came to have dinner with Li Mingbo today was because he heard Li Mingbo say that he knew Fang Yi. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to have dinner to drag Fang Yi over and practice in his law firm.

Fang Yi's professionalism and reputation are very famous in the city's lawyer circle. Even Xia Jun, who has never met Fang Yi, has heard of his name. He wanted to bring Fang Yi over to form a team with him, and use Fang Yi's fame to attract customers and increase his income.

But today Fang Yi rejected his invitation with no room for change, which made his proud heart a little uncomfortable.

"How are you now? How is the law firm's business?" Fang Yi asked, changing the topic.

“It’s still the same, business is tepid.

Director Sun is getting old and does not do much business now. He has a cup of tea in the morning and takes a nap at noon. When he has nothing to do in the afternoon, he takes a walk with the bird in the cage and goes to the park to play chess. Basically semi-retired.

By the way, I forgot to congratulate you just now. "Li Mingbo said.

"What?" Fang Yi was startled.

"Partners from Jin Province. Partners from Wanhua United Law Firm are very valuable and highly recognized outside.

Unlike Xia Jun's law firm, where they give partners names when they go there, he wanted me to transfer him there before. To be honest, I'm really excited. "Li Mingbo said.

"Are you going to turn around?" Fang Yi smiled, looked at him and asked.

"I haven't thought about it. You also know the situation in the county. For that few cases, there are too many people and too little food. It will be a matter of time before we leave." Li Mingbo said.

"To be honest, I don't recommend that you go to Lawyer Xia's law firm. Putting aside the size, the main reason is that the resources are limited and it depends entirely on the number of people. It won't be able to help you much." Fang Yi said.

"Xia Jun said that several well-known lawyers in the city have transferred to their law firm, which may have a certain celebrity effect." Li Mingbo said.

"To be honest, I met the lawyer Li Xiangrui that Lawyer Xia mentioned before when I held a seminar, and his level was average.

Not long ago, I handled a criminal case. Li Xiangrui took over the second instance, but was complained to the Justice Bureau.

How many resources do you think such a well-known lawyer can bring to a law firm? Moreover, everyone in the city's lawyer circle knows that lawyer Li Xiangrui often appears on TV and talks about being good at it, but in fact it is just that, his level is average. "Fang Yi said.

"That's it!" Li Mingbo looked at Fang Yi in surprise.

"So... you have to think carefully. We lawyers can borrow help, but we cannot rely on it. It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. If you plan to move to the city to work on your own, you must be prepared to have no business for half a year." Fang Yi said.

What he said about no business for half a year was not that he really had no business at all, but he warned Lee Myung-bak to prepare for the worst and be mentally prepared. Lee Myung-bak naturally understands that when he was almost broke and switched to selling pancakes, he naturally knows the pain of having no business.

It was late at night, Yunmei was sitting in front of the window in her pajamas, holding a cup of black tea in her hand, looking at the bright moon outside the window, thinking a lot.

"The Love of My Life" by Lu Guanting came from the Audio-Technica vinyl record player nearby:

The past and the present have passed and will never come back. The red fallen leaves are buried in the dust. The beginning and the end are always the same. You are drifting outside the white clouds in the sky. The sea of ​​bitterness is filled with love and hate...

I remember that when I was a child, my grandfather had an old-fashioned vinyl record player in his house. My grandmother often listened to it when she was still alive, and she gradually became fascinated by the vinyl record player. Later, she worked hard alone and made her first pot of gold, so she bought this Audio-Technica vinyl record player.

After dinner, if she had nothing to do, she always liked to listen and recall the past. But in the past two days, she would always think of the middle-aged male lawyer intentionally or unintentionally. The more she tried to control her thoughts and not think about him, the more she would think of him subtly, like a magic spell.

In fact, she didn't have many opportunities to come into contact with him, and his appearance was not outstanding. In her circle, men with this appearance could basically be ignored, but he gave her a sense of solidity, reliability, and dependability. . Maybe this is fate.

People have searched for him thousands of times, but that person is already...in my heart.

At this time, a wisp of autumn wind squeezed in through the screen window, blowing several pages of the tea book on the table.

When Yunmei saw it, she put down the tea cup in her hand and smiled softly: "You annoying Qiufeng, you are illiterate, why bother reading books."

That morning, Fang Yi was "grabbed" by Wan Kefa and "drugged" to the office to watch a tea ceremony performance. To be honest, Fang Yi was extremely reluctant, but on the surface he had to show an expression of pride, so he awkwardly walked into the director's office.

At this time, Wan Kefa went to the bathroom, and Fang Yi sat down next to Huang Yuanchao. Seeing Huang Yuanchao looking at him with a smile, Fang Yi looked unhappy.

"Old Huang, you are not authentic!" Fang Yi poured a cup of tea and said with a straight face.

"I didn't do anything, so why am I not being honest?" Huang Yuan said, squinting his neck.

"The boss ran to my room, grabbed me by the collar, and asked me to come over and watch him perform tea art. Tell me, were you the one who instigated this?" Fang Yi glared at him.

"It's unfair! I really didn't say anything." Huang Yuanchao said forcefully, but there was a sly smile in his cunning eyes.
