What Comes Around Goes Around

"boss……"

Sitting at the desk, Qian Heng still didn't even lift his head: "There is a material delivered by Bai Xingmeng at the front desk. It is some clues of common property that she has sorted out during the marriage. You should study it first, and then take the valuable The materials are sorted out, and Bai Xingmeng and Xu Jun’s previous divorce judgments, take a good look, especially those involving the division of property. An hour later, Bai Xingmeng will come over and meet us briefly to discuss the next litigation plan. You are ready to proceed. meeting room."

Hey?

Cheng Yao had originally thought that he would be retaliated against by Qian Heng, but when he entered his office, he didn't expect that Qian Heng didn't mention anything about last night and just arranged work normally.

"Also, remember to make a catalog of evidence of Xu Jun's hidden property that we currently have."

Cheng Yao nodded, feeling very ashamed. He seemed to really treat a gentleman like a villain. How could a man who is a partner like Qian Heng care about with a drunk newcomer.

The more she thought about it, the more Cheng Yao wanted to do some remedial measures. She glanced at Qian Heng's handsome profile, and asked, "Boss, do you need coffee? I'll help you prepare it."

"No. You can do your job well. You don't need to make coffee."

"It doesn't matter, I used to be in the last office, and often helped other lawyers prepare."

"I don’t think making coffee is part of the job content of a female lawyer. You are here to work as a lawyer, not to do administrative work. I hope you don’t think that making coffee for a colleague or boss is friendly. , This is very unprofessional." Qian Heng finally raised his head this time, his voice indifferent and alienated, but his tone was harsh, "Do you think someone would let a male lawyer make coffee for others? In the legal profession "Women and men are equal, no gender is born more suitable for auxiliary tasks such as making coffee, printing documents, copying and scanning, you remember this."

Since graduating from work, Cheng Yao has been frequently sent to do these secretarial tasks, whether in the internship unit or the last law firm. To be honest, subconsciously, Cheng Yao resists and no one wants to read it. After four years of undergraduate law, he finally entered the law firm to do miscellaneous affairs.

She wanted to really come into contact with the case, but over time, her unwillingness at the beginning was also smoothed out by reality. It wasn't until Qian Heng mentioned it like this at this moment that Cheng Yao realized that without knowing it, she seemed to have acquiesced to this kind of unspoken rule of the workplace-girls have always been more difficult to access core jobs than boys.

"I will tell Bao Rui, let him not always throw these secretarial jobs to you."

Cheng Yao suddenly felt very grateful. Although Qian Heng had a bad temper and attitude, he was a man who was able to say these words. Cheng Yao was in awe.

"thank……"

"Don't expect to pour me a cup of coffee just to imply that I am a woman. I am very weak. In my case, it does not exist. My principle has always been that men should be used as animals, women should be used by men, and when men are not enough, women too Used as a beast." Qian Heng smiled, "After all, in the new era, don't everyone talk about feminism? The preferential treatment of women is another kind of discrimination."

"..."

"If you pour me coffee because you want to make amends for the things that happened last night, then it doesn't matter."

Cheng Yao raised her head in surprise, wanting to thank Qian Heng for his magnanimity. however--

"That's not something that can be written off by a cup of coffee." Qian Heng glanced at Cheng Yao, "Since they are all in the same place, I won't go through legal channels, and settle down privately. I have made a list of the direct economic losses caused. I sent your email with the name, please check it."

Cheng Yao was shocked and said, "You mean, I have to lose you money?" She explained in an anxious manner, "Boss, I was drunk last night. I actually don't remember what I did. I'm all right. I have lost control of my behavior. What I have to do is really unconscious..."

"how old are you?"

"Hey? 23 years old."

Qian Heng pursed his lips: "Are you mentally ill? Intermittent is fine."

What's the problem? ? ? Cheng Yao said with a dazed expression: "No."

Qian Heng snorted coldly: "At the age of 18, you are not a mental patient who cannot identify your behavior. If you do not meet the definition of a person with limited capacity, then you have to be responsible for what you do. Drinking is not a legal way to evade responsibility. reason."

"..."

Qian Heng waved his hand: "Go out."

"..."

Just as Cheng Yao walked to the door, she heard her honorable boss add: "It's okay to read more, don't stare at others' faces all the time."

Yep?

"My 100% natural face, you can't see any traces of plastic surgery even after seeing it ten thousand times."

"..."

"Wait."

Cheng Yao:?

"Go downstairs."

"what happened?"

"Dong Min is here, help me lead her away, don't let her come to the office."

"..."

What a good job.

Anyway, he would lose money, and Cheng Yao also gave it up: "It was not what you said just now. In the legal profession, women should do professional jobs, not these inexplicable and irrelevant things..."

Qian Heng turned up a document on the desk and threw it to Cheng Yao: "Then do something professional. This is a confidential document from the client. It is not convenient for mailing. You personally deliver it to the client. The address is not far away. It's in the office building opposite us." Qian Heng smiled, "Then just happened to lead Dong Min away."

"..."

"Why are you stunned? Why don't you leave?"

"..."

——

Cheng Yao went out of Qian Heng's office, sent confidential materials to the client, and wandered outside as a smoke bomb, which successfully drew away Qian Heng's blind admirer Dong Min before returning to the office.

In grief and anger, Cheng Yao opened the email and saw the compensation list that almost made her faint. In addition to Bentley's car wash and cleaning costs, there was even compensation for Ermenegildo Zegna's custom suit jacket...

As a lawyer, Qian Heng is very rigorous and attaches materials that can prove the actual value and expenses of the loss, such as invoices or official website pricing, after each list of loss estimates. Cheng Yao looked at the string of zeros behind the first digit of the suit, only to feel a black eye.

It's just going out for a dinner, not a blind date. Why do you wear such expensive clothes! ! ! ! This evil money is constant! This evil capitalism! This is a society with a huge gap between the rich and the poor!

Cheng Yaohua’s grief and anger were strength, and his work efficiency was bursting, so he immediately prepared all the preliminary work needed for the afternoon meeting.

This time, Bai Xing Meng arrived on time. Her agent was not accompanied, and she came by herself today.

Qian Heng gave her a professional report of the situation that Jun Heng has investigated, and said straightforwardly: "Now that we have a direction for Xu Jun's hidden property, we can file a lawsuit at any time, depending on when you want to."

Bai Xingmeng paused, with a decisive tone: "Sue now."

"There are still two months before the statute of limitations expires. In theory, as long as the lawsuit is filed within these two months, it will be fine." Qian Heng took a sip of coffee. "But Xu Jun's Tuantuan Online is already going through the listing process. , It is very likely that you will be able to successfully list on the Nasdaq in the next month. If you sue now, it will definitely disrupt his listing steps, because after the lawsuit, I will apply for equity freeze preservation. Then once the preservation and litigation occurs, the listing In the process, he is bound to disclose this matter. The pending property division lawsuit will be like a landmine buried in his company. His investors are very likely to reassess the risks of the company, resulting in Great negative impact, and may even affect the listing."

Bai Xingmeng's expression didn't make any waves, she looked at Qian Heng quietly.

"If you are willing to wait, Tuantuan Online is successfully listed on Nasdaq in that month. If you sue again, the property you can apply for division will be directly doubled. In other words, if you sue in a month, I will also Get the lawyer's fee several times." Qian Heng pursed his lips, with a serious and steady attitude, "But as a lawyer, I respect all the choices of my client and I also advance all the possibilities of the legal measures we can take. I tell you that I hope you will make the best decision for you with a full understanding."

Logically, this is a very attractive plan. After all, what Bai Xingmeng has to do is just to stand still for a month. After a month, if Tuantuan is successfully listed online, then the money she can divide will be incomparable to the current one. , And if Tuantuan Online does not go public after a month, it will not be too late to file a lawsuit.

However, Bai Xingmeng’s answer surprised Cheng Yao.

Her attitude is firm: "I will sue now."

"Okay." Qian Hengxi's words are like golden words, and he has no normal curiosity. He didn't ask a single word. He just turned his head and looked at Cheng Yao, "Cheng Yao, I will have a video conference afterwards. Check the list of evidence with Miss Bai." Then he looked at Bai Xingmeng, "If you have anything to do with Miss Bai, you can communicate directly with Lawyer Cheng, then I will be separated first."

——

Cheng Yao was completely caught off guard for Qian Heng's arrangement. For a long time, she has been in a subordinate position when receiving customers, and she does not even need to speak. This is the first case that Jun Heng participated in, and it is a very large case. However, at this moment, she must be alone. People face the parties. This person is not someone else, but Bai Xingmeng, the righteous Bai Xingmeng.

Fortunately, when Cheng Yao was racking his brains to think about the topic, Bai Xingmeng spoke first.

"Lawyer Cheng, do you think I'm stupid?"

However, Bai Xingmeng's question caught Cheng Yao by surprise.

Fortunately, Bai Xingmeng asked this question without expecting Cheng Yao to give her an answer.

In many cases, in a marriage dispute, in addition to seeking legal help, the parties are also constantly looking for a window to talk.

"Lawyer Cheng, can you chat with me? You are a girl, I believe you may understand my feelings better." Bai Xingmeng smiled a little apologetically, "I know it will delay your time, I am willing to follow your consultation Rates pay for it, but today, I don’t want to talk about cold laws, I just want to chat with you. I am a star, and I can’t open my heart to anyone in the circle about these personal matters.”

Cheng Yao nodded, expressing understanding. Since becoming a lawyer, she has indeed experienced many such things. It's ridiculous. Many parties clearly have close relatives and close friends in real life. However, many inner emotions never dare to talk to relatives and close friends. Instead, they only hire contract lawyers. They are willing to let go of their guards and talk about everything.

Compared with their relatives and friends, they believe in the confidentiality clauses in commercial contracts and the huge liquidated damages for breach of confidentiality contracts, giving them more peace of mind.

Bai Xingmeng lowered his head: "In fact, this marriage really brought me a lot of pain. For him, I violated the brokerage contract and married him secretly during the contract period. I was retaliated by the company and paid a huge amount of liquidated damages. , I was almost hid in snow, and my career was almost devastated."

When Cheng Yao was chasing "Lingyao Raiders", she read about Bai Xingmeng's resume and gossip posts. It was true. She became famous overnight, and when she was in a good momentum, she was suddenly hidden by the company. From the age of 23 to 26, she smashed. After four years, four years, it is the best youth for an ordinary girl, let alone a star.

Bai Xingmeng’s tone was a little self-deprecating: “Maybe girls will become stupid once they fall into feelings. In fact, when I think about it now, Xu Jun may not like me from beginning to end. When I started dating him, his business was still very small. It's not like this at all, I really like him, but what did it get in return? It was the endless scandals of those years."

"Is it because of your agency's problems that you can't disclose your relationship?"

"Oh, since I have the courage to marry him and directly violated the brokerage contract, will I be afraid of making the relationship public?" Bai Xingmeng smiled, a little lonely, "He doesn't want to make it public."

Cheng Yao was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"Because only half-concealed scandals are more gimmicks." Bai Xingmeng smiled miserably. "I have always had a positive image since I started my career, and there has never been any scandal, but being with him has caused me I have been in the most dirty water in my life. Because of the propaganda problem of film and television dramas, while cooperating with the male protagonist, I also have to take care of falling in love with him. When the paparazzi knows, he criticizes me as a hypocritical model of stepping on two boats. I was aggrieved and wondered at that time. I did a good job of confidentiality. How did the paparazzi know? But now I know that Xu Jun provided all these revelations."

Facing Cheng Yao's astonishment, Bai Xingmeng smiled bitterly: "Lawyer Cheng, recall that before Xu Jun and I had a scandal, did you hear about the company Tuantuan Online?"

Cheng Yao thought for a while and shook her head. She really didn't have any impression. Knowing Tuantuan Online and Xu Jun was purely because of the continuous ups and downs of the series with Bai Xingmeng in those years.

"But since we were with me, Tuantuan Online has been well known to everyone. When we were first reported by paparazzi about our relationship, his Tuantuan Online had over 1 million users on that day. This kind of scandal, website traffic and the number of users are also increasing."

That said, it seems to be the case. Cheng Yao remembered that the first time she registered Tuantuan Online, it was because she had seen the scandal between Bai Xingmeng and Xu Jun.

When Bai Xingmeng said this, he paused: "I take the liberty to ask Lawyer Xiacheng, are you a registered user of Tuan Tuan Online?"

"Ok."

"Then under what circumstances did you register?"

Cheng Yao was a little embarrassed: "At that time, someone who broke the news claimed that Xu Jun secretly used his initials to show his love to you on the homepage of his website. I was boring when I was still in school. Like other netizens, I went to Tuantuan Online. I was onlookers. Because of this, I accidentally discovered that the Tuantuan Online website is very well done, with complete functions, clean pages, and no messy advertisements. There is a huge inventory of novels on the literary station, and there are many reading modes to choose from. It's very user-friendly. So it has always been an old user of Tuantuan Online."

Bai Xingmeng showed a clear expression to Cheng Yao's answer: "Yes, that's it. After that time, many people registered his website and became loyal and old users." She lowered her gaze, "Although it is with his The marriage broke down, but I have to say that Xu Jun is indeed a capable man. His website design and planning are indeed very good, but... there are many talented men like him in the world who can reach it by unscrupulous means like him. The purpose is very few." Bai Xingmeng paused, "The revelation was planned by him."

Cheng Yao was completely shocked.

"There is no implicit show of affection at all. It is entirely a play he directed and acted on himself. First he deliberately changed the website page, and then he found the team to break the news and hyped up the show." Bai Xingmeng's face was calm, but his voice Li was still a little trembling, "From the first day he knew me, what he was interested in was my traffic, what he needed was my popularity to bring vitality to his website, and what he needed was scandal hype."

Bai Xingmeng laughed at herself: "It’s better to fall in love with a female celebrity than any advertisement. Netizens will quickly pick up his foundation, and he only needs to secretly add to the flames, so much money will save him. The effect of corporate publicity and marketing expenses is still invincibly magnified, because the diverted, but genuine consumers, the most active online users."

"He is the smartest marketing talent. He knows that entertainment and idolization of a company leader is much better than directly promoting the company, saving time and worry." Bai Xingmeng bit his lip, "I didn't until later. I want to understand that this is the real purpose of his love and marriage with me."
