When I arrived at the place, I looked at the splendid decoration and thought that this place must not be cheap.

Do you want to invite me to dinner? I'm still feeling a little uneasy.

Entering the private room that Zhang Dapao was talking about, I saw a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks sitting in the main seat, and two younger guys with various skinned shrimps and rotten hairtail fish tattooed on their arms. The three of them sat together and held toothpicks.

Picking teeth, talking and laughing at the same time.

I glanced at the table. Three people had ordered seven or eight dishes, and there were only some leftovers. The wine was xo Hennessy, and there was only an empty bottle lying on the table.

I still said with a smile, is this Mr. Zhang? Hello, I am Lawyer Lu who contacted you before.

I stretched out my hand, and the two younger brothers gave me a stern look. Zhang Dapao, who was sitting in the middle, lowered his head as if he didn't see my movements. He picked out the gap between his teeth with a toothpick and nodded: "Sit down."

When I sat down, Zhang Dapao looked at me with his triangular eyes, spat out the residue in his mouth, and said with a pleasant smile: "What do you want to do about my case? Lawyer Xiao Lu, give me a detailed analysis.

"

Seeing me coming, he had no intention of adding more food. According to my previous temper and attitude, I would have turned around and left now. But after all, it’s 70,000 yuan, Mader, now he is my God of Wealth!

Lao Liu and Zhao Dehai both said to me, it would be better if I saw more people.

I patiently explained my thoughts, and Zhang Dapao smiled: "Okay! Then I'll do as you say!"

Is this a final decision?

Isn't it as difficult as Zhao Dehai said? Is my thinking particularly against Zhang Dapao's approach?

I quickly took out the procedures from the document bag: "Mr. Zhang, now that we have decided, let's sign the procedures."

Zhang Dapao smiled at his two men and said politely and implicitly: "My brothers and I came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money. It's inconvenient for Lawyer Lu. Please help me pay the bill for this meal first and pay later."

When it comes to attorney fees, I’ll give them to you as well.”

I was stunned. You dare to wait for me here? Now you can pay by mobile phone. What are you doing here? You haven’t brought any money, and you haven’t brought your uncle with you!

But looking at Zhang Dapao, it didn’t look like he was joking with me. When negotiating a business case, be generous, and only your investment will be rewarded. I gritted my teeth and shouted directly: "The waiter pays the bill!"

The three of them ate more than 4,000 yuan in total, and they brought their own wine. Otherwise, the bottle of Hennessy would have cost more than 1,000 yuan, and it would have been doubled in the hotel.

I paid, my heart was bleeding, and when I left the hotel, I asked: "Mr. Zhang, when will the formalities be signed?"

Zhang Dapao patted his butt, took his two younger brothers, got into his off-road vehicle, and said to me: "It's easy to talk, I have something to do this afternoon, Lawyer Xiao Lu, let's contact you later."

Watching them walk away, I felt annoyed. I should have opened the empty bottle of wine on the table just now! I was so angry that I went back to the hotel to issue an invoice as a proof and told Zhao Dehai.

Zhao Dehai laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, saying that I was probably taught a lesson by the ruffian Zhang Dapao, who clearly threatened me: "I said this person is difficult to deal with, but you still don't believe it... Xiao Lu, you have too much experience in the world of martial arts."

You're so stupid, what can you do? You're so anxious to say it, why don't you get it if you don't bring any money?"

Zhao Dehai also had no intention of reimbursing me for this part of the expenses.

I feel bad losing more than 4,000 yuan in vain.

Fortunately, I got 25,000 from Ms. Wang the day before yesterday. Seeing my unhappy tone, Zhao Dehai comforted me a few words and asked me if I would give up on this case. He would help me get the money back from other cases.

I held back my anger and didn't want to give up like this, so I said I would follow up.

I drove back in the car, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I became. I found a place to park the car and looked through Zhang Dapao's information again.

His younger brothers are still being held in the Linhai City No. 1 Detention Center. The No. 1 Detention Center?

I suddenly remembered a person, one of my college classmates, one of the few who took the civil service exam, and he had a good relationship with Liao Yiyang. We three used to play football together. Because his head circumference was very big, we took the exam for three years with great energy.

I finally got into the prison system by relying on my iron head. His nickname was Kong Datou. I thought about it and gave him a call.

When Kong Datou heard that it was my voice, he was very enthusiastic: "Lu Yao, you haven't contacted me in two years, right? Hey, I heard from Liao Yiyang, are you going to the recent class reunion? I envy you, spending every day in Huahua

Wandering around in the world is not as hard as me..."

I said I would definitely go. I hadn’t seen my classmates for a long time and I missed them very much. However, the case was not going well recently and something was particularly bad.

Kong Datou was locked up with the prisoners in the detention center every day. He was probably too busy to ask me what was going on.

I gave the general outline, and Kong Datou was very righteous: "You are so damn grandson, you have bullied our 08-level law department. I happen to be in charge of the detention area. What are the names of those people? Wait for me to give them to you tonight."

They'll put some eye drops on it and will give you news tomorrow."

I quickly said yes, when the classmates get together, I will toast you with a few more glasses.

Kong Datou smiled and said what a big deal it was.

I didn’t put too much hope in Kong Datou. After all, the management is very strict now, and the prisons are all legal and legal. You can’t beat prisoners. I just didn’t feel comfortable with it, so I didn’t go to work in the afternoon and gave it to Sister Mei.

I called her and asked her to copy some materials for me.

Who would have known that Lao Liu would call me soon and ask me angrily, where am I? Why don’t I come to the law firm?

I thought to myself, screw your uncle, I still have to serve you?

I said impatiently, I’m working on cases outside, so I can’t go to the law firm to work every day, right? You’re not going to pay me any salary? I still have to pay more than 10,000 yuan in management fees next year. Why, Director Liu is planning to waive it for me.

?

Since I expressed my intention to go it alone the year before last, Lao Liu not only stopped giving me a guaranteed salary, but also asked me for management fees, which amounted to more than 17,000 yuan a year.

Old Liu was speechless and hung up the phone after saying a few words to me.

There must be a reason for Lao Liu's sudden call. I thought it was because I had pried into Qiu Yue's case and the secret was revealed?

I ran to the moat near the sea and sat for a while, lit a cigarette and thought about it for a while, then called Qiu Yue and asked her to invite her to dinner.

Qiu Yue thought that I was here to invite her on behalf of Lao Liu, so she arrived at the restaurant dressed up very early in the afternoon.

Seeing that I was alone, Qiu Yue sat down and asked with concern: "Where is Director Liu, when will he come?"

I smiled and said, I'm the only one today, and I want to tell Sister Qiu something deeply in my heart.

Sister Qiu did not show a disappointed expression. She was an ugly woman, but she smiled very generously. With the boldness unique to a businessman, she looked at me and said with a smile: "We knew each other when I got divorced?

It’s been five or six years, right? Our friendship still involves eating alone, why can’t it be over just by talking on the phone?”

I handed over the chopsticks first and said tentatively that this is a local dish from your hometown. Would you like to try it? By the way, did you talk to Director Liu about your previous tax case?

Sister Qiu and her husband are both from Shandong, so I specially found an authentic and affordable Shandong restaurant.

Qiu Yue took a bite of the food and kept saying it was delicious. She shook her head: "I don't have time to talk, and Lawyer Liao is very responsible. The process has already started. What's wrong?"

I quickly shook my head, picked up a bottle of beer, and said, sister, I won’t say anything else, it’s all in the wine, and I’ll spin one for you.

I used a lighter to pry off the bottle cap, raised my head and screwed it for Qiu Yue.
Chapter completed!
