The grass grows and the eagle flies, the white horse passes through the gap, and time flies.

But my youth is a wound that will always be bright.

I wish I could cleanse myself of all the bad luck and bad luck right now, dress up new, and then I can’t wait to go find Liao Yiyang, sit opposite her happily, and look at the girl I’ve been dreaming about for several years.

But there always seems to be something in my chest, making my heart ache.

I put the phone aside, thought about it for a while, picked it up again, and after a few repetitions, I replied that I didn't have time, I was dealing with customers outside.

Putting down the phone, I collapsed into a complete mess. Regardless of whether Liao Yiyang replied to me or not, I went downstairs and bought a dozen cold beers. I sat on the old sofa alone and watched the lights of cars passing by outside. I drank.

Drunk with head covering.

When I got up from the sofa the next day, I looked at my phone. Liao Yiyang replied: "Okay, there will be a formal welcome party for classmates later, so don't let your guard down."

Today, I also made an appointment with Ms. Wang, a sharp-tongued and dishonest woman, to go to the law firm to sign the agency formalities.

Compared with the relationship that can be given up due to various reasons, I comfort myself that it is more pragmatic to hold the money firmly in my hands and force myself to shake off my energy.

Then Ms. Wang came, but who knew that she suddenly changed her mind and started messing around with me on the agency fee.

I said: "Look, the lawyer's agency fee is determined by the state as a percentage of the subject matter of the property, and I don't charge fees randomly."

Ms. Wang hugged her shoulders and said as if she were a common citizen: "Oh, I know it all. Your lawyers are making money, and it's easy to talk. If I didn't believe in Lawyer Zhao, I wouldn't find him."

Is it entrusted by your law firm? How about this? I don’t have any money, so I will give you 40,000 at most, okay? If not, I will find another law firm. I asked a lawyer online that day. In this case, he

The most I can charge is thirty-five thousand..."

Yesterday it was still 60,000 yuan, but today it was reduced to 20,000 yuan.

Naturally, I was not happy about it. After all my efforts, we finally reached an agreement, but Ms. Wang's pain was as painful as cutting her flesh, and I added another five thousand yuan for transportation fees.

In this way, the amount I want to distribute to Zhao Dehai remains unchanged, and the only money that can go into my own pocket is 25,000 yuan, which is 15,000 yuan less than expected.

But the case was finally won. When I took Ms. Wang to the administrative sister Mei Xue to pay the fee, Ms. Wang was still complaining that it was too expensive. I held back my anger and said nothing.

After seeing her off, Mei Xue smiled and opened the procedure for me: "Xiao Lu, you seem to be a difficult client."

I thought to myself, if it weren’t for the current unprofitable case, I wouldn’t serve this bastard...

So he changed the topic and pretended to be serious, staring at Sister Mei's face and said: "Sister Mei, I think you seem to have changed recently?"

Mei Xue said in surprise: "What has changed?"

"She's become more beautiful, you haven't even noticed?"

I smiled slightly, which made Sister Mei giggle and tremble: "Oh, you have such a sweet mouth, you can fool an old woman like me."

But these words obviously put Sister Mei in a good mood. She opened the procedures for me and tried to find a way to help me pay the lowest tax so that I could get more from this case. I quickly thanked Sister Mei and felt arrogant.

Arrogantly, he returned to the office and deliberately slapped the agency procedures on the table.

Zhang Yali, who was drawing her features in front of the small mirror behind her, saw me discussing the case and accepting the money. She ran over with envy and lay across from my desk: "Brother Lu, have you signed the case?"

"Well, let's sign a small case worth one million yuan." I said coquettishly.

Zhang Yali laughed and cheered: "Then Brother Lu can't invite you to dinner at noon?"

When I bent over like this, there was a white groove on my chest, which made me a little angry.

While I watched intently, I thought to myself, girls nowadays really don’t love themselves...

Other colleagues in the law firm also started to make noises. I thought to myself that this girl Zhang Yali is really not going to get into trouble. What did Lao Liu like about her? But after all, I signed a case today and it was open for business. I ordered a Sichuan takeout at noon.

Treat everyone to a light meal.

In the afternoon, I started to take out Ms. Wang's information from my briefcase and started to make preparations. I pulled out a piece of paper. When I went to the detention center a few days ago, I asked the prison guard for Wei Lai's father's phone number.

I thought about it, but I never followed up on this case. I even promised Wei Lai to ask his father to come and see him.

There was a child who had no relatives in Linhai. I had dealt with the detention center several times. Although he could not go hungry, he was definitely not having a good time there. Even if he could meet his father, he would have someone to rely on for spiritual sustenance, so I called him.

Got that phone call.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered.

It was the voice of a man with a strong Yunnan-Guizhou dialect accent.

I didn't say anything nonsense, I showed my identity and told the story once.

There were no emotional fluctuations over there. He just said that it was difficult to buy train tickets to Linhai recently and he had been thinking of ways to buy them.

What he said next was too strong for me to understand because his accent was too strong.

I thought in my heart that my son was going to be imprisoned, but I didn't care about it, so I didn't say much as an outsider. I just said this was my phone number and asked him to contact me when he came to Linhai.

I think this non-profit legal aid case can be regarded as a dedicated effort, so I concentrate on the money-making cases at hand.

In the afternoon, I asked Sister Mei to transfer Zhao Dehai's share of the money. I also sent a text message to Zhao Dehai, saying that the money had been transferred to him.

Everyone is happy when it comes to collecting money. Zhao Dehai called me soon and asked me if I had another case, which would definitely make money, but the client was difficult to deal with, and asked me if I was interested.

Although Zhao Dehai is easy to pay and has been working for a long time, his reputation in Linhai law circles is not good.

Because he rarely handled cases by himself, Lao Liu described Zhao Dehai contemptuously behind his back as a legal broker.

What is a broker? To put it bluntly, it is just a second-rate dealer.

If you take the source of the case and don't do it yourself, let others do it. Just like Ms. Wang's case, you will directly charge a commission, collect the money and it's done. There is no pragmatism, no after-sales comfort, just pick up your pants and leave, just like soliciting customers for young ladies in a red light district.

The old bustard.

These were Lao Liu's exact words. Of course, he never dared to say them in front of Zhao Dehai, because Zhao Dehai, who was born in the military, could kill him even though he was older. This was one time when he drank too much with a client.

Chewing the root of Zhao Dehai's tongue in front of him.

Mi Lan didn’t want me to chase him away. I planned to become a spiritual monk with determination. All the romantic stories about high mountains and rivers, high-pitched music and monogamous love between men and women had nothing to do with me. I wanted to make money and become a wealthy man.

of ordinary people.

I just collected the money today, and Zhao Dehai has another case for me.

I said in my heart that extra wealth comes to my door, and I can't help it at all.

In line with the concept of striking while the iron is hot, and picking up girls while they are early, otherwise you will be fucked by other pigs, I immediately smiled and said yes, I will give it a try, thank you Zhao Lu for taking care of me.

In my heart, I was actually holding back my energy. The more Lao Liu refused to lead me and give me a case, the more I had to look like a bad person to show him.

And the most important thing is, knowing that Jiang Yan is back, I want to meet her again. When I appear in front of her, I will show a completely different me from six years ago.

Zhao Dehai smiled on the other end of the phone: "Don't thank me yet. This case is difficult and we may not be able to negotiate it. I think you are young and promising, so you can give it a try."

Zhao Dehai's words of praise made me very happy.

Are there any cases that Zhao Dehai cannot discuss?
