blank count

In the spacious and bright court canteen, the officers and policemen had their lunch quietly and enjoyed their leisure time.

Occasionally someone chats, and try to pay attention to the volume, so as not to break the quiet atmosphere here.

"Judge Yang, come down so early today?" The judge sitting opposite Yang Shiyu chatted with him.

Usually, Yang Shiyu would wait until the number of people in the cafeteria was slightly reduced before coming down, and it was rare for him to blend into the large army like today.

"I was hungry early today." Yang Shiyu replied casually, and quickly changed the subject, "Did the trial in the morning go well?"

"It's okay, the plaintiff's lawyer is still a bit strong, and the false propaganda has become a fraud." The other party said here, as if thinking of something, and said, "I remember that there was a lawyer with a good brain before, who was stupefied with ' Endangering public safety' became 'obstructing public affairs'."

Yang Shiyu lowered his eyes and said, "That's him."

"Are you talking about that person?" Another judge answered, "That's the son of the chief judge of our criminal court."

"Really? I'll just say it. He is eloquent. The defendant's lawyer can't speak to him at all."

Neither of the two chatting seemed to realize why Yang Shiyu knew who the lawyer in the false propaganda case was.

Yang Shiyu raised his gaze, and continued to ask the person opposite: "How can false propaganda become fraud?"

"It's not really a judgment of fraud." The judge opposite said, "Both parties agreed to a settlement, but the settlement money is refunded in accordance with the standard of fraud, and a compensation of three, a total of 48, do you think it's serious?"

Yang Shiyu lowered his eyes again, and hooked the corners of his mouth imperceptibly: "Sure enough, he's a little hooligan."

——"I still choose to reconcile."

As a result of hesitation, Luo Xueqing won a settlement of 48 yuan and signed a non-disclosure agreement, not to disclose this matter.

The ideal is always full, but the reality is often very skinny.

Coming out of the courtroom, Jin Zhou and Luo Xueqing walked towards the elevator. Luo Xueqing's expression never relaxed, and she asked Jin Zhou, "Lawyer Jin, do you think I'm very unprincipled?"

"Huh?" Jin Zhou was a little surprised when he heard the words, "Why?"

"I wanted to remind other consumers," Luo Xueqing said nervously, "but I charged their hush money instead."

It turned out to be this matter, Jin Zhou smiled, and said indifferently: "It's normal, who would have trouble with money?"

Human beings are inherently selfish, but the scope of selfishness is different.

Some people only care about the ego, and the scope of their selfishness is only themselves;

Some people sacrifice for love, and the scope of selfishness includes lovers.

Selfishness and selflessness are relative concepts. Jin Zhou believes that compared with unfamiliar consumers, Luo Xueqing should be more willing to use the money to create better living conditions for her son.

"But," Luo Xueqing still seemed a little uneasy, "I'm a reporter after all..."

"Relax." Jin Zhou comforted, "Reporters have to live too."

The two quickly walked to the gate of the court, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Lawyer Jin."

Jin Zhou stopped, turned around and saw He Yunsheng walking towards him aggressively.

"You thought about this strategy from the beginning, right?" He Yunsheng said indignantly, "The methods are really dirty!"

Jin Zhou couldn't help laughing: "You can not reconcile? Report it later, just spend money to find a publicist."

"You, you, what's the difference between you and blackmail?" He Yunsheng was obviously so angry that he stuttered.

Jin Zhou probably knew why He Yunsheng was so angry. After all, as an assistant lawyer, he didn't investigate Luo Xueqing's identity beforehand, so he might have been scolded bloody by Lawyer Li.

"Xiao He, Xiao He." Jin Zhou straightened He Yunsheng's skirt, and said earnestly, "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, don't afford to lose, ah."

He Yunsheng took a few deep breaths, probably knowing that he couldn't win against Jin Zhou, and left angrily.

But just as Jin Zhou was about to continue walking, Luo Xueqing who was beside him suddenly asked, "Lawyer Jin, have you thought about a settlement strategy long ago?"

"Well, sort of." Jin Zhou said, "I think you may need it more."

Probably when Jin Zhou and Luo Xueqing met for the third time.

The two sorted out the facts, but they were always interrupted in the middle, because Luo Xueqing went out to answer the phone three times, one was from the leader, one was from a colleague, and the other was from her son's class teacher.

When she came back from answering the phone for the third time, she supported her forehead with both hands for a while, then raised her head and said to Jin Zhou, "Let's continue", but she still couldn't hide the fatigue on her face.

At that time, Jin Zhou thought, it's really not easy for a professional woman with a baby.

An idea gradually popped up in his mind, he wanted to help Luo Xueqing win more.

But he did not reveal his strategy in advance, also because he was uncertain whether he would win and whether the other party would agree to a settlement.

If the other party would rather spend money on public relations than pay for reconciliation, then Luo Xueqing might look forward to it in vain.

"I know you will agree." Jin Zhou said, "Your life is not easy."

"Yes..." Luo Xueqing said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Lawyer Jin."

In fact, Jin Zhou was somewhat selfish, Luo Xueqing accepted his favor, and if he wanted to ask Luo Xueqing for help in the future, he would not hesitate to ask.

"Are you free tonight?" Luo Xueqing asked suddenly, "I want to treat you to a meal, and you can bring Lawyer Xiao Sun and Xiao Wu with you."

"Okay." Jin Zhou smiled, "We won't be polite to you."

It was noon now, and Luo Xueqing had to go back to work. The two made an appointment to meet at a high-end hotel at [-]:[-] pm, and then they parted at the gate of the court.

Jin Zhou pulled off his uncomfortable tie, held the litigation materials in one hand, and copied them in his trouser pocket with the other, and walked slowly towards the car repair shop.

He could see that Luo Xueqing's mentality had changed significantly.

At first, she was anxious, caring about Jin Zhou's opinion of her; then she was happy, and wanted to invite Jin Zhou and others to dinner.

So in the final analysis, her inner anxiety does not come from her social responsibility, but just because she is afraid that Jin Zhou will think she is a philistine.

When Jin Zhou, who was the only one who knew about it, said that there was no problem, she naturally let go of the burden in her heart.

That's fine, Jin Zhou thinks that everyone is an ordinary person, and there will be troubles and difficulties.

Being able to help ordinary people around him is quite meaningful as a lawyer.

Jin Zhou did what he said, and he was not polite to Luo Xueqing. He even called Xiao Wu's girlfriend and Yu He from the consignment shop next door when he had dinner at night.

Since it is a celebration, of course there are many people to be lively.

Luo Xueqing brought her son Luo Zihao with her. It was also the first time Jin Zhou saw this cool kid, and he didn't know who provoked him.

"Call Uncle Jin." Luo Xueqing urged Luo Zihao, frowning.

However, Luo Zihao just kept silent, staring straight ahead with displeasure written all over his face.

"I'm really sorry." Luo Xueqing explained with a headache, "He wants to go to a classmate's house to play, and he's making trouble with me."

"It's okay." Jin Zhou bent slightly, looked at Luo Zihao and said, "Aren't you happy to eat delicious food?"

Luo Zihao turned his head away, ignored Jin Zhou, and just dragged Luo Xueqing into the restaurant.

"Why are you so ignorant?" Luo Xueqing took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, "I haven't finished my homework yet, so I just want to play."

After Luo Xueqing walked a little further away, Sun Yi shook his head and said with emotion: "Why do children nowadays look like grandpa?"

"That's why I hate children." Xiao Wu's girlfriend answered, "I don't want to have children in the future either."

"Okay." Xiao Wu took his girlfriend's shoulders, "It's all up to you."

"Eat when you eat," Yu He on the other side couldn't help interjecting, "Why don't you feed dog food?"

"It's been so long, haven't you gotten used to it yet?" Jin Zhou smiled.

They chatted and followed Luo Xueqing to a luxurious box.

Jin Zhou walked last, and just as he was about to enter the box, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

I thought it was my eyesight, but after a closer look, it turned out that it was really Yang Shiyu.

Yang Shiyu, who was wearing a suit, and another middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes entered the box at the end of the corridor.

If Jin Zhou is not mistaken, that middle-aged man once appeared on the wall of honor of Jiayou Law Firm, and he is a senior partner of the law firm.

"Brother Jin?" Xiao Wu, who was sitting on the seat, called out, "What are you looking at, why don't you come in?"

"Here we come." Yang Shiyu's figure disappeared behind the box door, and Jin Zhou also looked away.

The chefs of high-end restaurants do have two brushes, and they can cook a table of dishes to make people full of praise.

However, Jin Zhou's thoughts had already flown to the box on the other side, and he didn't like eating anything.

You know, judges cannot accept lawyers' banquets.If it is reported, it is likely to be punished.

Yang Shiyu came to such a high-end place to have dinner with his law firm's partners, no matter how you looked at it, he was on the verge of breaking the rules.

Jin Zhou believed that the former Yang Shiyu would not be moved by interests, but after so many years, he really couldn't tell if Yang Shiyu had changed.

There are always various weaknesses in human nature. Just like Luo Xueqing, Jin Zhou believes that there is no problem with her behavior, but it is difficult for her to insist on herself in the current interests.

"Lawyer Jin, you're welcome, eat quickly." Luo Xueqing interrupted Jin Zhou's thoughts, "I really have to thank you for the case."

Jin Zhou really wasn't being polite, he just wasn't thinking about it.

The food in his mouth became more and more unpleasant. In the second half of the meal, after everyone started drinking, Jin Zhou served the wine glasses, greeted the others, and then came to the door of the box where Yang Shiyu was.

It is normal to toast acquaintances at their table when you meet them by chance in a restaurant.

Jin Zhou had already thought up his lines, but when he opened the door, he was still a little at a loss by the scene in front of him.

I saw at least a dozen or twenty people sitting on the side of the large round table, including lawyers, prosecutors, and presidents of certain associations he had met. Everyone was talking and laughing while drinking wine. The shady dealings in is not the same thing at all.

At first, only a few people noticed Jin Zhou and looked at him puzzled. After a few seconds, almost everyone looked over, including Yang Shiyu.

Ugh, it's really embarrassing.

Jin Zhou took a deep breath, and walked towards Yang Shiyu with the wine glass in his hand: "It's really Judge Yang, I didn't dare to recognize it just now."

Yang Shiyu frowned slightly, and there was a message in Jin Zhou's eyes: What the hell are you doing?

"In the entire district court, the person I admire the most is Judge Yang. I finally met him today, so I must respect him."

As Jin Zhou spoke, he walked to Yang Shiyu's side. Perhaps his behavior was too natural. Others really thought he was here to toast, and someone booed, "Yes, Judge Yang enforces the law impartially, so of course we should respect him!"

The others followed suit and raised their wine glasses. Yang Shiyu blushed and touched the wine glass in Jin Zhou's hand.

After drinking a glass of beer, Jin Zhou poured himself another glass, and asked the others in the room familiarly: "What is this game today?"

"Alumni Bureau." Someone answered, "This is all alumni of the University of Political Science and Law."

"Isn't it a coincidence!" Jin Zhou saw an extra chair by the wall, so he enthusiastically moved it over and squeezed to Yang Shiyu's side, "I also graduated from the University of Political Science and Law."

"Really? What a coincidence!" Someone called the waiter standing by the door, "Bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"No, no, no, I have to go back to the other side later." Jin Zhou stopped and stood up holding the wine glass in his hand, "I'm here to respect all seniors and sisters, political and legal people, political and legal soul, Politics and law are family members!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Zhou raised his head and drank the beer in the glass.

"Well said, everyone is a family!"

"That's right, family!"

The atmosphere in the box was inexplicably brought to a new climax by Jin Zhou, taking advantage of Jin Zhou sitting down and pouring wine for himself, Yang Shiyu pinched his waist with his hands, and said in a low voice: "You give me enough time. "

"Hiss." Jin Zhou frowned, raised his glass to Yang Shiyu, and said impertinently, "Honey, take one?"
