secret galaxy

Zhuang Mei resigned, the law firm recruited a new cleaner to share Zhang Jie's workload, and Duan Xinghe took over the vacancy at the front desk.

Nie Han privately told Liang Qian that almost all the clients who came to her for consultation in the past few days signed the entrustment agreement, and the success rate was higher than when Zhuang Mei was here. After all, it should be due to Duan Xinghe.As for the reason behind this, Nie Han explained: because she specializes in marriage and family disputes, most of the parties involved are women, and a handsome guy like Duan Xinghe is both eye-catching and comforting to the majority of female compatriots in unfortunate marriages. After thinking about it, the client has to find a lawyer anyway. After signing Xingbang, there is such an icing on the cake.

Liang Qian scoffed at this and joked, "Then why don't you invite him to dinner?"

Nie Han put on lipstick in front of the makeup mirror, pursed his lips like a proud peacock, and said after a while: "That must be done, I want to ask him to be nice to my female clients, smile more, maybe There are more cases."

Duan Xinghe's succession to Zhuang Mei's job position was promoted by Liang Qian a while ago. He only wanted to change Duan Xinghe's job to an easier one, and didn't consider the possible consequences at all. Now after hearing Nie Han's few words, suddenly Feeling like shooting yourself in the foot with a rock, I couldn't help but pay attention to Duan Xinghe's performance in his new position.

Xingbang has clients coming to our door every day, some are seeking legal advice, some have already signed the entrustment agreement, and they come to discuss the case with the lawyer. When there are many people, Duan Xinghe has no time to breathe. Add water.

Back then when Zhuang Mei was at the front desk, her smile was like a flower, her voice was soft, and her words of praise came out of her mouth. She was loved by all the clients, but Liang Qian didn't take it seriously. The front desk of the institute.

Duan Xinghe did a good job, he was polite and considerate, his face expression was very calm, not too warm but never flattering, in line with the requirements of modern stranger society for interpersonal communication - respect while maintaining distance.

Since taking over the post of the front desk, Duan Xinghe no longer wears student-like clothes such as T-shirts and jeans. He has changed into shirts, suits and leather shoes. In the next day, a group of colleagues gathered to watch, including Liang Qian, who folded his arms and smiled without saying a word, full of inexplicable pride in his heart.

Anyway, he was quite satisfied with Duan Xinghe. He never considered that the more dazzling Duan Xinghe was, the more coveted others would be. When Nie Han reminded him, he felt a sense of crisis belatedly.

The door of the office was open, and Liang Qian was willing to keep the door open when he was not meeting with the parties. Firstly, it was convenient to communicate with Jia Bin, and secondly, it was convenient to observe Duan Xinghe's actions.He took on a new case at hand, which was Luxin Company, which had issued a legal opinion before. The other party decided to get serious with the contractor and entrusted him to write a retrial application and hand it over to the Circuit Court of the Supreme People's Court to see if there was any response. There is no possibility of a revision of the sentence.

Liang Qian already had a draft in mind, and he was not in a hurry to start writing. He leisurely flipped through the guiding cases of construction disputes, trying to find a few similar ones to use as an argument.

Duan Xinghe led two women in their 30s past his door. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned into Nie Han's office.He closed the book, walked to the door to take a look, and just stood still, Duan Xinghe came out of Nie Han's office.

Liang Qian asked, "Participants?"

Duan Xinghe nodded, saying that Lawyer Nie's former client had introduced a friend, and it seemed that he also wanted to consult about divorce.

Liang Qian leaned against the door frame, tilted his head slightly, and looked down at Duan Xinghe condescendingly. The sharp jaw line outlined the outline of his face deeply and sharply.He is good-looking, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, wheat-colored skin, and pointed lips. His entire facial features exude a rough but harmless heroism.Although he was once unofficially certified as one of the top ten school girls by his classmates at F University, Liang Qian himself doesn't care about his appearance. Except for a louder cheering voice during basketball games, he doesn't feel that he has enjoyed any benefits.Facing Duan Xinghe at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, felt the need to release his charm, and said with a half-smile: "Don't be biased, next time you have consultations on divorce, adoption, and inheritance, you can also bring them to me." , I have no income this month, and I can’t even afford to eat.”

Duan Xinghe is easy to deceive. Seeing Liang Qian's words are so serious, he has already believed half of them. He hesitated: "But aren't you working on real estate cases?"

"I can do decathlon, so I can't cross a boundary?" Liang Qian's voice was lazy and light, sweeping across Duan Xinghe's body like a feather.

Now Duan Xinghe knew that he was being funny, he pursed his lips a few times, finally smiled helplessly, said "I'll go pour water for Lawyer Nie's client" and left.

After a few minutes, Duan Xinghe knocked on the door of Nie Han's office with a tray in his hand, and left with a woman in a light blue dress after a while.

Liang Qian could probably guess what happened.This woman is a client that Nie Han has represented before, and she must have a good impression of Attorney Nie. This time, her sister is going to get divorced, so they will be friends and introduce each other.Although they are sisters, some details of their married life are not convenient to listen to, so they avoid it with Duan Xinghe.

"Ms. Liu, I'll take you to the sofa at the reception for a while." Duan Xinghe led the woman past Liang Qian's office door.Liang Qian heard the woman ask him, are you new here, I haven't seen him before.

The voices of the two became lower and lower, farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.Liang Qian typed a few lines, picked up the case compilation and flipped through a few pages. The dial on his wrist knocked on the table, making a crisp sound. He was stunned for a while, then stood up abruptly, and took out a pack of instant coffee from the drawer. .

There are several water dispensers in Xingbanglu, and there is one on the left hand side of the front desk. When Liang Qian brought a cup to make coffee, Ms. Liu was discussing with Duan Xinghe a marriage certificate from the Republic of China period hung on the "cultural wall".

Ms. Liu was very interested in this old marriage certificate, and asked Duan Xinghe where he got it.Duan Xinghe apologized and said that he didn't know clearly, so Liang Qian took the opportunity to interject, saying that it was passed down from the ancestors of a lawyer in the firm, which is very commemorative.

"That's right!" Ms. Liu raised her head, her face was bright and delicate, her eyebrows were curved, she was a pretty woman.

Duan Xinghe introduced: "This is Lawyer Liang, a partner of our firm."

"Hey! You are a partner at such a young age. It's amazing." Ms. Liu's eyes fell on Liang Qian with approval, and she intended to chat with him, pointing to another old document on the wall and asking, "What is this?"

It was a contract for the division of property in the late Qing Dynasty. It was photocopied from the Provincial Museum of G. It is a very precious legal history material.Liang Qian briefly explained a few sentences, then slowly moved to Duan Xinghe's side, and saw the examination guidance book covered by a few draft papers.

"Civil law?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Duan Xinghe stood behind the marble table, his little finger on his right hand vaguely hooked a black fountain pen, pretending to be calm: "Just take a look."

"What kind of cases does Lawyer Liang mainly deal with?" Ms. Liu's voice sounded again.

Liang Qian turned his head and smiled politely: "Real estate."

"Really!" The other party was very interested, and immediately began to consult her uncle's cousin's friend about the recent disputes. Liang Qian was impatient and couldn't reveal it, so he dealt with it casually. Aren't you going to appear in court this afternoon?"

"Yeah, I'm going to make preparations." Liang Qian took the opportunity to get away, walked five or six meters, and looked back at Duan Xinghe, only to see that he quietly opened the tutorial book on the table.

At twelve o'clock in the noon, Xingbang Law Firm gradually became noisy. Colleagues greeted each other and went to lunch in groups.

"Lawyer Liang, Lawyer Ding, let's go and eat." Nie Han knocked on the doors of the offices on the left and right.

Liang Qian, Nie Han, and Ding Puning are all excellent lawyers of Xingbang's younger generation. They usually have a good relationship. When everyone is in the firm, they often make friends for dinner.

Ding Puning is in his early thirties, with thick eyebrows and a square face. He is a few centimeters taller than Liang Qian. He looks dignified on the outside, but in private he has a generous personality and is easy to get along with.He is mainly engaged in criminal defense, especially in drug cases, and is well-known in Yuzhou.

"Where are we going to eat today?" Nie Han was troubled by this question every day.

"I can do it," Ding Puning looked at Liang Qian, "Where is Liang Lv?"

While talking, they had already walked outside the law firm, where a group of colleagues were waiting for the elevator, and Duan Xinghe was also there, staying with a few administrative staff, although huddled in a corner, he still stood out from the crowd.

Liang Qian thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria."

The fourth floor of the office building is a private canteen called Ai Huo Restaurant. It opened last year and has long-term cooperation with many companies upstairs. Xingbang Law Firm has won a lot of benefits for its employees on the condition of "providing legal consulting services". The price, usually paralegals, administrative staff, etc. often eat there.

It was meal time, and the cafeteria was bustling with employees from different companies mixed together, which was very lively.Nie Han didn't bring a meal card, so Liang Qian bought her the most expensive set meal with a big wave of his hand, three meat and two vegetables plus a chicken leg, and Nie Han kept saying "you are making me gain weight" for a long time.

The layout of Ai Huo restaurant is similar to that of a university cafeteria. There are four people at a table. Ding Puning is the first to make a meal and occupy a seat, waving at them from a distance.

Liang Qian put down the dinner plate and looked for Duan Xinghe calmly. They met in front of the soup window just now, but there were too many people around, so there was no chance to talk.

"Why did the three lawyers think of going to the cafeteria to eat today?" Zhong Lu, the "Chief Manager" of Xingbang Law Firm, led two administrative staff to occupy the next table, teasing them with a smile.

Nie Han replied, "Because Lawyer Liang suddenly wanted to eat fried chicken legs from the cafeteria."

Liang Qian smiled, he had already seen Duan Xinghe, Duan Xinghe was holding a stainless steel dinner plate, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards Zhong Lu's table.

Zhong Lu greeted with a smile, "Xiao Duan, come and sit here!"

When Duan Xinghe was still a few steps away from the dining table, Zhang Zihui came out suddenly, holding a bowl of wonton noodles, pointed to the chair next to Zhong Lu and asked, "Xiao Zhong, is there anyone here?"

"Uh," Zhong Lu was a little embarrassed, and couldn't tell whether Zhang Zihui did it on purpose or not, so she laughed a few times.

Duan Xinghe paused, obviously unwilling to embarrass his boss, looking around the cafeteria, looking for the only empty seats left.

Liang Qian called him: "Duan Xinghe, come here."

Duan Xinghe came over with the food, carefully sat down opposite Liang Qian, and greeted the three of them one by one.

Liang Qian said: "Nie Han, don't you want to invite Duan Xinghe to dinner? You didn't say anything."

"Then you have to eat a big meal, how can you eat in the cafeteria?" Nie Han pushed the plastic bowl containing the chicken legs to Duan Xinghe, and laughed two dimples, "Come on, Lawyer Liang buys my chicken legs. Borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha, I will treat you to Guixianlou when you are free."

Duan Xinghe couldn't figure out the situation, so Liang Qian briefly explained the whole story behind it.After listening, Duan Xinghe smiled embarrassedly, explaining that Lawyer Nie has outstanding professional ability and has nothing to do with me.

Liang Qian teased: "You are stupid, this iron rooster has never pulled out a hair, so seize the opportunity to knock her up, and remember to call me when you eat."

Ding Puning made up the knife: "Whoever sees has a share."

Nie Han laughed until tears came out, took out a tissue and kneaded it into a ball, making a gesture to hit Liang Qian: "Who is the iron cock!"

Talking and laughing, the cafeteria gradually became deserted.Ding Puning was going to meet at the detention center in the afternoon, and left after hastily eating. Nie Han wanted to drink fruit tea from the shopping mall next door, so he also left. In the end, only Duan Xinghe and Liang Qian were left, still walking snails.

Duan Xinghe eats very politely, so politely that he is even a little rigid, his lips move slightly, and he doesn't make a sound.

Liang Qian said: "You can follow Nie Han in the case in the future, so you can please girls."

Duan Xinghe didn't take it seriously: "Lawyer Nie obviously likes you more."

Liang Qian heard the implication, and had mixed feelings in his heart. "She and I are just comrades in arms. Besides, I like men, don't you know?"

You're still the first to know.

Duan Xinghe smiled uncomfortably, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Then, have you got a boyfriend yet?"

His voice was very weak, and the word "boyfriend" was jerky, but his overall demeanor was calm. Liang Qian couldn't guess what Duan Xinghe was thinking, as he often did. He was used to it, so he simply regarded himself as a A fallen flower can be washed wherever it wants by the flowing water.

"I thought about it, but it didn't work out."

This is his answer.
