In the serious and silent conference room, the melodious piano sound suddenly sounded.
When she realized that the noise was coming from her place, and that everyone in the conference room was watching her, Xiaoxia, who was originally drowsy, stood up and hurriedly turned off her phone, but in a panic, Then he brought the documents and water glass to the ground, creating even more chaos.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She apologized to Xiao Wang who had been splashed with water, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe a large area of his suit that was wet.
"I'll do it myself." Xiao Wang took the tissue and said in a very low voice: "Did you forget to turn off your phone again? I warned you, sloppy sister!"
Yes! Everyone in the office knows that the director, Mr. Pan, hates calls coming in during meetings, especially the regular meeting on Monday morning. That was when he was summarizing the previous week, looking forward to the current week, and giving lectures. Of course, he didn't like to be interrupted. He still maintains the habits he had when he was a teacher. Although he is not so perverted as to let the offender copy the file a hundred times, a review of no less than 2,000 words is indispensable.
Xiao Xia is very knowledgeable about writing reviews. What she is afraid of is just the director’s murderous gaze, which is really fierce! It just so happened that she was having bad luck today, as the director was in a rage because of a mistake made by a good lawyer last week.
"I'm sorry!" She apologized again, her voice was small, she didn't even dare to raise her head, adopting an attitude of lowering her head to admit guilt, and retracted to the chair.
The director ignored her and just sighed, completely surrendering to her careless personality. But when he was about to continue talking about the topic just now, Xiaoxia's cell phone rang again.
Xiaoxia was startled. After a quick look, she realized that she just hung up the phone and did not turn off the phone completely.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She bowed and apologized again, almost kneeling down to beg for mercy, "I didn't--I didn't close it properly just now!"
We might as well just throw it down from the 19th floor. Things like mobile phones are not convenient for human beings. Human beings are obviously their slaves, and people can't even get the peace they deserve. Ruan Zhan is better, he doesn't use a mobile phone at all, he can get rid of anyone's harassment when he wants to disappear, and he is so cool and unrestrained.
"Just take it." The director suddenly said.
"No, no, no, I'll shut down right away."
"Better take it." The director ordered, frowning.
He doesn't like to be interrupted by phone calls during meetings because he wants everyone to focus on one thing so that they can be more efficient. But he is not unreasonable. The call was made in such a hurry, maybe there is something urgent.
"If it's a business matter, that's it. If it's a private matter - I will deduct disciplinary points from you."
Xiao Xia looked at the director's serious face and hesitated for a moment. After all, she did not dare to disobey the holy order and ran outside the conference room to answer the phone.
She is not afraid of writing a review. She already has a review with loving words and excellent writing in her computer. All she has to do is print a copy and sign her name. Anyway, the director had punished her like this since she was a student, and she was used to it. But deducting disciplinary points would be a big loss, and that involves the issue of bonuses. Her winning rate is already low, and her income is at a low level in the firm. If she deducts funds again, it will not be like "the rich are drunk and meat is smelly, and the roads are frozen to death." 'Well!
"Which one?" Xiaoxia asked angrily.
"I am Gu Yufang." A woman's voice.
"Gu Yufang?" Xiaoxia felt that the name sounded familiar, but she didn't remember it for a moment.
"We met at Yeguiren Bar. It's no exaggeration to say that I took you in the first time you went to the bar." The woman said, "I am A Zhan's regular customer."
"Oh, it turns out to be Sister Gu!" Xiaoxia then remembered.
Isn’t she the first person Xiao Xia met at Yeguiren Bar? She said she came to the bar to cultivate her body and mind, but in fact she always wanted to take Ruan Zhan home and be her toy duck for the rest of her life. That pervert who uses special methods to 'cultivate body and mind'! However, the relationship between them is only casual. What's the reason for her calling? Could it be that she wants to find Ruan Zhan? Don't say that she didn't know, even if she knew, she wouldn't tell her, and she was determined not to let Ruan Zhan be tortured by innocent people.
Big or small is a life. If you can do good deeds, it is better to do one good deed a day, Amitabha!
"Excuse me, what do you want from me?" she asked suspiciously, making up her mind to play Tai Chi with her.
"I - I want to ask you for a favor." Gu Yufang on the other side of the phone sounded depressed and full of doubts, "I have some legal problems - very serious! I want to ask you Help me handle it—release on bail pending trial.” Those last few words were like the chirping of mosquitoes.
"What? I didn't hear clearly. Can you speak louder?"
"Help me apply for bail pending trial!"
"On bail pending trial? What happened?" Now Xiaoxia was curious. What could cause such a serious matter to be released on bail pending trial? !
In her mind, Gu Yufang was an extraordinary woman, shrewd, strong, sophisticated, wise, experienced, and successful. Her level of conduct was many times better than hers. In front of her, she was like a bumpkin who would fall off after being beaten for a long time. If she didn't plot against others, what else could happen if others were already laughing at her!
Unless it's an economic problem, tax evasion or something. Compared with these cases, she would rather fight criminal cases, although economic cases have the greatest financial benefit to the lawyer himself. But she couldn't even figure out her monthly salary, so it was better not to harm others.
"But I'm not good at fighting economic cases!"
"It's not an economic case." Gu Yufang hesitated, but he still had to say, "It's a criminal case."
Criminal case? How can this be? And he can be released on bail pending trial, so it shouldn’t be too serious! But——
"Xiao Xia - I have no one to look for, and I don't want to alarm the company's lawyers, so I can only look for you!"
"But I - I still have a case on hand, I'm afraid I won't have time -"
"Just be my sister, I beg you." Gu Yufang begged without waiting for her to finish her words, even crying.
Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment, but the other party's fragile tone made her inevitably soften, and she had no choice but to change her Tai Chi practice to Shaolin boxing in frustration. After all, her job is to help people solve legal problems, and she is really curious about what happened to Gu Yufang?
"Okay, tell me where you are, and I'll be there right away." Xiaoxia agreed, and hung up the phone after hearing the address clearly. She felt despicably happy for a moment - this was considered business, and her disciplinary score was There will be no deductions and her bonus will be kept.
"Director!" She knocked on the door and went in to report, "A client wants me to provide pre-litigation legal services, legal consultation and bail pending trial." She deliberately spoke professionally, "Do you want me to go right away? ”
"Go ahead." The director, a workaholic, agreed as she expected, "Work is the most important thing, you have to do it well!"
"Don't worry, I will never let down the leadership's care." She walked over to get her things, forced herself to endure her joy, and made faces at Xiao Wang behind the director's back.
What is a blessing in disguise? This is called a blessing in disguise! Not only was she not punished for answering the phone during the meeting, but she also no longer had to listen to the director's long speeches like Tang Sanzang's, and she didn't know how lucky she was!
But when she bailed Gu Yufang out, she realized that nothing comes cheap. The old saying that taking advantage means being fooled is so true, and she had to face a rare and strange thing.
It turns out that Gu Yufang attended a private party called the "Flower Party", or it would be more appropriate to say it was a private organization. There are more than a dozen members, all of whom are white-bone essences (white-collar workers, backbones, elites), that is, rich and beautiful older single women.
I don’t know what thought has washed their brains. These women, who were originally beautiful, smart, rational, successful, and highly educated, were bewitched by this organization and convinced that they did not belong to this world, but were women promised to God.
No man is their destination and can give them love. Only God can make them surrender and give them willingly!
The night before the accident, it was said that it was the day to offer sacrifices to the gods, so the dozen or so women present watched with their own eyes a voluntary registrant marrying the gods, that is, being married to the gods by another 'member', who was also the next sacrifice Use a wooden prong to drive into the heart.
The strange thing is that the scene should have been filled with blood, but there was only a strange red mark on the floor.
When the forensic doctor who arrived touched the body, it immediately turned into a pile of powder.
This incident happened on Friday night in member Zhao Xiaoying’s villa. Zhao Xiaoying is a famous figure in the city, so although her villa is in the countryside, it is large, luxurious and aristocratic.
After they performed the ceremony, they all fell asleep inexplicably. Except for the drug content found in Gu Yufang's blood, there was no abnormality in the other people's bodies, as if they were collectively hypnotized.
Until Saturday night, a poor thief visited this dark and quiet house, which seemed like there was no one there, and found a woman in red lying all over the basement. He was frightened, thinking he had encountered a murder, so he hurriedly called the police because he was afraid of getting angry.
After these ladies came to their senses, the police interrogated and clarified the basic facts with great efficiency, and determined different coercive methods against different suspects in the case. Gu Yufang, on the other hand, belongs to the category of people who were arrested by the procuratorate but allowed to be released on bail pending trial.
Since this was a strange case and the people involved were all influential people, the police decided not to disclose it to the outside world. Gu Yufang was not willing to let too many people know about it, so he commissioned the case. Xiao Xia, who is not very familiar with her at ordinary times, serves as her legal representative.
For this release on bail pending trial, Xiaoxia was really busy for a while. She found a guarantor based on the information provided by Gu Yufang, paid the deposit, and handled relevant legal affairs, and then sent Gu Yufang, who was released on bail, back home. Explain to her the precautions for being released on bail pending trial.
"We have to make an appointment to talk." Xiaoxia looked at the client whose noble elegance had been completely replaced by exhaustion and panic. She never thought that she was involved in both the case and drugs, "I just provided you with legal advice. Handle relevant legal affairs, but whether I will be your lawyer after entering the litigation process or not, I have to listen to your specific situation before I can decide."
She is very serious about this matter. In any case, she and Gu Yufang met each other, so they were destined to be together, and this matter might not be easy to solve, so help her if you can!
"Can you come at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, okay? I have to explain the company's affairs first." Gu Yufang thought for a while and then made an agreement with Xiao Xia. Then she ignored Xiaoxia who was about to leave, and suddenly started singing at an inappropriate time. Her eyes were strangely bright and nervous, which made Xiaoxia feel cold for no reason. It took her a long time to understand what she was singing.
It's "Female Flower" by Anita Mui.
The gentle and sad tone lingers in the lonely air of this luxurious apartment for a long time.
