fierce lawyer

Liu Shicheng supported his head with one hand, flipping through the photo album with the other.

There are flamingos in Nakuru National Park.Hundreds of thousands of flamingos form a large brocade-like beautiful pattern on the lake, like the clouds and clouds in the sky at sunset, which is very spectacular.The red in the eyes and the green of the lake together describe a spectacle, and the noisy calls seem to be heard in the ears.

Then there are wildebeests crossing the river.Although there were crocodiles ambushing in the river, this group of wildebeests jumped into the river without hesitation, wading through the water, splashing water behind them.Young wildebeests may lose their lives in the process, but they did not hesitate to migrate.

after that...

"..." Liu Shicheng looked at the photo.

It's two lions mating.The male lion hugged the lioness as if no one was around.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, both lions were roaring.

Liu Shicheng likes to watch Animal World, or all the content about animals in National Geographic and Discovery Channel.Liu Shicheng knew that the male lion's estrus period lasted about a week, during which time he did not eat and only drank water, and kept doing intensive... that.Then, after the estrus has passed, the lioness goes out to hunt and sacrifices her prey to the male.

It seems that not only people are addicted to it, but even animals are no exception.

I don't know how this thing has such magical powers.

Liu Shicheng was confused.

In novels, pictures, and movies and TV, this kind of thing is always described as earth-shattering.

Doing this with other people is really so different from self-reliance...?

Liu Shicheng frowned.

Probably never will know the answer to this question

Then, somehow, Liu Shicheng remembered a joke Dong Yuanlin told.

At that time, Dong Yuanlin's son Dong Yueming had just entered the first grade of junior high school and had taken some biology courses.I don't know much about dominant genes and recessive genes, so I asked his father.

"It's just..." Dong Yueming held the textbook in his hand, "After the male bee and the female bee get married..."

"What kind of marriage?" Dong Yuanlin humiliated Dong Yueming mercilessly, "That's called mating!"

"Oh..." Dong Yueming's face was completely red.

Dong Yuanlin found it interesting and told others in the law firm.Saying that my son is pure and well educated by himself, ordinary middle school students will not be like this.

——Liu Shicheng then flipped down.

Next are two giraffes leaning on each other.Cuddling each other in the sunset, tender and affectionate.Then came the zebras in a line.Under the sunlight, black and white absorb and reflect light differently, blurring their outlines and making them difficult to see at a glance.In addition, there are baboons playing and laughing, looking carefree.

……

——Just looking at this thing, it seems to be able to smell the lake and grassland.

There are also all kinds of fresh life on that continent.

……

—The second half of the album is full of people.

Village women singing and dancing, various performances for people to watch, markets in villages and towns, bustling and prosperous scenes in cities...

It's a good camera.

Even Liu Shicheng, who doesn't know much about photography, can see this.

Ji Meng sometimes appeared in these photos, and he looked no different from usual.

Liu Shicheng read it again.This time, the eye lingers on each photo for a longer period of time.

He was suddenly a little envious.If you can go and see for yourself, that would be great.

Finally, Liu Shicheng touched the cover again, and then carefully put it in his drawer, waiting to take it home after get off work.

Liu Shicheng really liked this gift.

Sitting in the office, it seems that you can touch those animals as far away as Africa.It seems that together with Ji Meng, I saw dozens of groups of rhinos, wild birds overwhelming the sky, and rhinos running bravely.Unlike what you've seen on TV before, they're not the result of years and huge investments by dedicated photojournalists, and they're not so far out of reach.This is the people around him, that is, what Ji Meng saw with his own eyes and took pictures with his own hands. It is a perceivable existence.Ji Monte intended to give them to himself, probably because he hoped to use them as a medium so that he could also step into that primitive land.

Liu Shicheng raised his head, the email from Ji Meng was still open on the computer desktop.

——Liu Shicheng didn't know what Ji Meng meant when he said "I often think of you".

Possibly, Africa is indeed a place with less entertainment.

In the past, for several M&A cases, Mr. Zhang went to Africa.

At that time, the little boss said during the meeting: "Don't worry, although the place you are going to is Africa, there are no Africans there, all foreign citizens, and it is very safe. The only problem is the disease, but it is okay there. "Afterwards, the little boss suddenly said seriously: "Lawyer Zhang, you'd better have a hobby of sports. Only in this way can you learn from your colleagues, otherwise you'll be bored."

"..."

Ji Meng, maybe he just grows hair in idleness.

Liu Shicheng had to admit that when he received the gift and knew that Ji Meng was still thinking about him, he felt a little relieved.

Liu Shicheng was actually quite afraid that he might be mistaken.

It is precisely because he feels that the deep friendship between people is meaningless, Liu Shicheng will always be like this.

He never talks to people he doesn't like.For the person I like more, although I can talk, I still don't know how to make friends, just like the assistant girl surnamed Ye in the law firm.Very kind and gentle, Liu Shicheng always thinks she is very good.

I still don't have deep friendships, not because the people I like more are not good, but because I don't have any confidence in pulling two different individuals who have nothing to do with each other.No matter how kind and gentle they are, they are still two people separated from the beginning to the end.

For example, when a person is happy and shares it, the compliments he gets are not sincere. Maybe the closer friends seem to be, the stronger the jealousy. Maybe the last thing you want is smooth sailing The only person is him, or she.For another example, when a person encounters setbacks, he often pours bitterness on the people around him.However, when talking about all kinds of injustice, the other party will not feel your sadness, and some people will even be secretly happy.At this time, the listener can barely say some insincere comforting words, and these words are difficult to make people really feel better.It's even more ironic that many people keep telling the story knowing that the person doesn't really care because they need an outlet and have no other choice.In the end, when the other party is really not in a hurry, these people will be disappointed, angry, and depressed again, making things difficult for themselves and making them even more unhappy.Here, people who hurt others are not necessarily bad.

Tired of these things and afraid of being the same as others, Liu Shicheng always believed that there was no need to waste time, energy and emotion on communicating with others, so he chose to hide and curled up in a corner by himself.

Then, on that night when they shared the cake together, Liu Shicheng suddenly felt that Ji Meng might be someone he could talk to a little bit.Because, on that day, Ji Meng didn't take into account Liu Shicheng's reluctance at all, and kept talking about various topics.Before, no one was like Ji Meng, who knew he was unpopular, but still worked hard over and over again.This kind of effort made Liu Shicheng a little shaken.No one is cheap, those people in the past, after seeing Liu Shicheng's attitude, all backed away quickly, and none of them wanted to approach so persistently.This kind of persistence finally dug a small corner of Liu Shicheng's iron wall.Maybe it's okay to accept Ji Meng a little bit.Knowing Ji Meng for so long, it doesn't seem so uncomfortable to listen to him now.

Liu Shicheng didn't know the reason for this thought, his understanding was that it was due to guilt.Looking at Ji Meng's hot head, I feel ashamed.Or, although I have always firmly believed that there is no need for feelings and I am afraid of communication, but when there is really a friend who may be very sincere in front of me, my heart will still be fiddled with.

Before leaving that day, Liu Shicheng even took out two pieces of candy looking at Ji Meng who was dizzy.

……

——After that, Liu Shicheng was not so repulsive to Ji Meng's phone call.

Although he seldom answered, Liu Shicheng always listened when Ji Meng talked there.

After a while, it gradually became normal.

Therefore, when Ji Meng suddenly stopped calling, Liu Shicheng couldn't help but began to wonder if he was wrong.

Because of Ji Meng, he changed his way of getting along with people a little bit.

This change, is not wrong.

Should I never answer phone calls that have nothing to do with work?

Past, present, future, never interact with people.

When a very vigilant person finally begins to trust a person a little bit, he is very worried that this trust will be betrayed.Although I will tell myself in my heart that it's okay to be let down, at most I can go back to the past.However, if such a thing really happens, they will be more convinced of those paranoid ideas before, retreat into the shell, and then never stick their heads out again for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, although it can't explain anything, when Liu Shicheng knew that Ji Meng didn't want to alienate him, he was still a little lucky.At least not yet.

……

Liu Shicheng looked at Ji Meng's email, thought for a while, and replied: "Is it boring?"

"That's not true." The chat box in the email came out.Ji Meng said, "There are a lot of things. The branch has just been established, and it's a mess. It takes a lot of worry."

Liu Shicheng knows that it is very difficult to get projects in Africa now.In some places, the situation is very serious, and it is common for officials to accept bribes, and it is difficult for enterprises to move forward based on their ability alone.Liu Shicheng didn't want to ask Ji Meng how hard it was, he still couldn't ask those things.

Over there, Ji Meng said: "I have never experienced the start-up stage of this kind of company. It is quite interesting. It needs to be developed little by little."

Liu Shicheng said, "That's good."

"However," Jimeng said again, "Although I don't think it's boring, I still want to go back and eat sweets with you."

"..." Liu Shicheng closed the mailbox.

It seems that Ji Meng has nothing serious to say.

In that case, let's end the conversation.

I wanted to say thank you for the gift, but I was still embarrassed.

Next time, Liu Shicheng thought, next time I must say it.

……

——It was time to get off work, and Liu Shicheng decided to go home.

When passing by Dong Yuanlin's office, I saw a very capable and mature woman sitting opposite Dong Yuanlin's desk.

Liu Shicheng knew that person.

Since Dong Yuanlin is a lawyer in patent litigation, he often has to cooperate with patent attorneys.Because lawyers understand the law, and the analysis of whether a patent involves infringement, etc., depends on patent attorneys.Unlike lawyers who major in law, patent attorneys generally have a background in science and engineering, and are mainly responsible for the technical analysis of whether infringement is involved. In addition, they also need to work with lawyers to complete the materials submitted to the Patent Office, the Patent Office Reexamination Board, and the court .An experienced patent attorney should have a good understanding of the judgment criteria, so as to give the most reasonable advice.

This patent attorney has cooperated with Dong Yuanlin several times, with successes and failures.This time, the two joined hands again.
