Chapter 78

In July, the heat is more intense. City B was as hot as a steamer, and the whole city looked lazy and tired under the bright sun hanging in the sky.

In the early morning, it rained sporadically and with the wind and sand blowing, Zhou Yiyao's black Audi became specks of dirt again.She was sitting in the office on the [-]th floor, blowing on the air conditioner and looking at the cityscape below. The hot air outside the window made her feel extremely irritable.

She was very busy.In half a month, several troublesome cases were handled.However, it is not these cases that bother her now, but the family of an old friend Liu Ziqiang.

Liu Ziqiang is more than 40 years old, self-improvement, as the name suggests, he started working on his own at the age of 16, and started a small company at the age of 25. Until now, the company has grown bigger and bigger. Quite amiable.Two years ago, Zhou Yiyao helped his company with several legal consultations, and they became familiar with each other after coming and going.Mr. Liu had nothing to do and basically rarely bothered Zhou Yiyao, but occasionally asked Zhou Yiyao out for a meal, and took his family of three with him, taking care of Zhou Yiyao as if he were a daughter.

When it comes to human affection, this is human affection.

There is always a little more care in favor.Liu Ziqiang specially came to the office to find her a few days ago, and talked for a long time as if he wanted to say something, but he was too embarrassed to speak for some reason.On the contrary, Zhou Yiyao was forthright: Mr. Liu, if you have anything to ask me for, as long as we are friendly, if you say a word, I will not go through fire and water.

Just because of this sentence, Liu Ziqiang's chatterbox opened.His brother-in-law recently committed some crimes and got divorced.

The topics of getting divorced and having done something wrong don't seem to connect at all.After Zhou Yiyao asked carefully, she found out that after a long time, the brother-in-law beat his wife at home, and he quit the beating, so he directly reported to the police, and now he is going to sue him for domestic violence.

Zhou Yiyao looked at Liu Ziqiang's swollen face like a purple eggplant, and naturally knew that he understood in his heart that this was a family ugliness, and family ugliness should not be publicized, and now he is passively publicizing it.Liu Ziqiang is a very face-saving person, and his brother-in-law is still the second in command of his company. If this matter gets too big, it will even damage the company's reputation.

She breathed a sigh of relief, poured a glass of water for Liu Ziqiang, and said unhurriedly: "This has become such a big deal, it seems that this is not the first time for your brother-in-law."

"Hey," Liu Ziqiang sighed: "Your sister-in-law and I don't know what's going on in the family. We didn't know until it broke out. Probably five or six times."

"Generally speaking, if he hadn't been bullied to a certain extent, no one would sue him. What else is he doing?" Zhou Yiyao looked at Liu Ziqiang and smiled: "Mr. Liu, do you want me to help you?" You, you have to tell me the truth."

Liu Ziqiang scratched his head: "Hey, his wife has been asking him for a divorce, but he doesn't agree. This quarrel is so urgent, it's another beating."

"Hurt?"

"Just..." Liu Ziqiang sighed again: "It's broken, one eye is badly hurt, and he's still lying in the hospital."

"This is my own wife, he really wants to do it." Zhou Yiyao said tut-tsk, "Call the police?"

Liu Ziqiang nodded: "The movement was too loud, and the neighbors called the police. Now his wife's family is quitting, so I will sue him for this disturbance."

Zhou Yiyao leaned on the seat and thought for a moment, then opened her mouth in a murmur, "Mr. Liu, as a woman, I actually hate domestic violence. You can understand, right?"

Liu Ziqiang patted his thigh: "Hey, don't talk about you, I'm so angry. I didn't expect this kid to be very serious in his work, why is there such a problem? But your sister-in-law is arguing with me at home, and, you said What if this matter really comes to the fore...Xiao Zhou..." He looked at Zhou Yiyao in embarrassment: "My company is competing for a project recently, and I have been unable to turn around recently. ..."

Zhou Yiyao smiled, sat upright and looked at Liu Ziqiang: "Mr. Liu, I haven't finished yet. Although I hate domestic violence, but you open your mouth, I have to give you face no matter what. ? You let me think about it, three days, I will give you an answer in three days."

At this moment, Zhou Yiyao was sitting in the office, looking at a psychiatric certificate on the table, with the stamp of the B City Central Hospital and the signature of the attending physician on it.A trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.The day before yesterday, she went to the hospital to see the beaten woman in the name of a relative of Liu Ziqiang's wife, and she was indeed seriously injured.Liu Ziqiang has taken a lot of steps back, medical expenses, mental damage expenses should be paid, double compensation, divorce is fine, as long as it doesn't make a big deal out of it.In the hospital, Zhou Yiyao chatted with the victims for a long time with affection and reason. The younger brothers of the woman's natal family killed the culprit so that the culprit would go to jail.Zhou Yiyao said nothing but said nothing to impress others, so that she was exhausted enough.

She took a deep breath, seeing that the hour hand was about to point to four o'clock in the afternoon.He took the phone and called Huang Yue in.Push the documents on the table to her: "Mr. Liu will come later, give this to him. Let him find someone from another law firm to do it. We Tengda will not accept this kind of work."

Huang Yuexin smiled at Zhou Yiyao tacitly: "Sister Zhou, who will do it?"

Zhou Yiyao pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "Ruifeng, Li Huakai from Ruifeng is quite capable of fighting this lawsuit. Everything is ready for him, and he will owe us a favor sooner or later."

Huang Yue nodded and went out the door.This kind of thing, she can do every detail.Zhou Yiyao didn't go there in person, one is to avoid suspicion, everyone in the industry knows that she has a good relationship with Liu Ziqiang, but this kind of lawsuit is to pour dirty water on herself, Tengda needs reputation, and of course Zhou Yiyao wants reputation even more.Zhou Yiyao had done the first half of this matter for Liu Ziqiang, and he had to do the rest by himself.Speaking out, Tengda has nothing to do with it, and Liu Ziqiang has to remember Zhou Yiyao's favor.

Huang Yue admired Zhou Yiyao five-body, and obeyed her words even more.Of course, Zhou Yiyao would never treat her badly.

This kind of thing happened frequently in the society, Zhou Yiyao just moved her lips and fingers, and earned a big favor.Mutual benefit, don't do it, fool.

*****************

A week later, Liu Ziqiang personally came to thank him.Pushing Zhou Yiyao a Louis Vuitton bag, he smiled and thanked lawyer Zhou for his generous help.Zhou Yiyao accepted it generously, saying that she didn't help much, and it was all thanks to Lawyer Li.Liu Ziqiang nodded understandingly and said yes, of course he should thank him very much.Zhou Yiyao asked how the divorce was going, and Liu Ziqiang said it was done, but the kid was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word, so he just signed and signed.Let him go to S city to stay for a while tonight, for fear of retaliation if he is not convinced.Zhou Yiyao nodded and said yes, just in time to rest and repent.

After Liu Ziqiang left, Zhou Yiyao opened the bag, which contained 5 yuan in cash, brand new.She raised her eyebrows, took the money out of her bag and put it in a drawer, searched for the flight schedule from city B to city S this afternoon, and there was only one flight at [-] pm and one at [-] pm .He might not be able to catch the two o'clock flight.Zhou Yiyao smiled, took out her mobile phone casually, put it on the unidentified mobile phone card bought from a small shop, and sent a text message.

Replace the SIM card and throw the SIM card into the trash can.Only then did I take my bag contentedly and leave work.

Today is the weekend, she is in a good mood, and plans to find a friend to eat and drink.

In order to discuss business, Rong Yi went to an unknown corner, and when she answered the phone, she couldn’t speak intermittently because of the poor signal. Yu Siyu told her what she had an appointment with Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhao tonight. Go sing K, if you are interested, come along.Zhou Yiyao hung up the phone with her mouth curled up, knowing that she hated crowds and letting herself go, this Yu Siyu was drunk when she heard it.She drove around the city, and really didn't intend to waste this great weekend, so she changed her mind and drove the car directly to the gate of the police station.He took out his mobile phone and called Lu Xiaoxiao.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do today, and seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Lu Xiaoxiao was talking to a group of colleagues about going out to eat barbecue after work, when Zhou Yiyao called.Less than 5 minutes after hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoxiao got into Zhou Yiyao's car. The people who came in and out of the police station took a look at this side, and they actually got together and whispered.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at it indifferently, then turned around and said, "Lawyer Zhou, let's go."

Zhou Yiyao looked at the girls at the gate of the police station, and knew that Lu Xiaoxiao had become their talking point again, so she started the car and said slowly: "Your colleague is really nosy, my broken Audi can attract onlookers, Doesn't Sister Lin's Land Rover with a bullish license plate want you to come down from the entire police station to pay attention?"

"They don't have anything to do today." Lu Xiaoxiao explained with a smile: "Sister Lin's car rarely comes to the police station, and my master won't let her. I think she's too flamboyant." She said, feeling this The content of the conversation went a bit strange, why did he compare himself and Zhou Yiyao to Lin Che and Chen Mo.Then he shook his head: "Why is Lawyer Zhou free today?"

The two of them also had a meal or two when they came back from J City, mainly because Lu Xiaoxiao felt that Zhou Yiyao bought clothes for her and always helped her feel sorry, so she insisted on treating Zhou Yiyao to dinner.Those who come and go can be regarded as familiar friends, but Lu Xiaoxiao still calls her Lawyer Zhou very strangely.Zhou Yiyao was an acquaintance, and it was the fourth time they had dinner together, and finally expressed their dissatisfaction with the Lawyer Zhou that Lu Xiaoxiao was talking about.

"I said Lu Axiao, can you stop calling me Lawyer Zhou so formally. I'm off work, and I don't want to hear words related to lawyers after get off work. Can we change my name?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned, and said: "Then, what should I call you?" She thought for a while: "You are one year older than me, why don't you call you Sister Zhou?"

Zhou Yiyao turned the steering wheel violently: "No way. It's too old. Change it."

"Then...Xiaoyi?" The old ones can't do it, but the young ones can, right?

Zhou Yiyao stepped on the brake: "Aunt? Who is your aunt? Why did you give me a promotion?"

"Eh..." Lu Xiaoxiao's mind froze a bit, she hesitated for a long time, and opened her mouth: "Then... Sister Yao?"

Zhou Yiyao gritted her teeth: "Sister Yao? It sounds like a woman in the service industry in ancient times. Change it."

Lu Xiaoxiao held back for a while, and after thinking about it for a long time, she said, "What do your friends call you?"

"My friend..." Rong Yi's sticky little Yaoyao and Yu Siyu's soft and boneless little Yaoyao sounded in Zhou Yiyao's mind. If she came out, she felt that she would not be able to bear it.Helplessly said: "Be more ordinary, you can call me Yiyao."

"Yiyao," Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, smiled to herself, and turned her head to look at Zhou Yiyao jokingly: "Remember, Yiyao, there is no sister."

Zhou Yiyao glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao from the corner of her eye in surprise: "Oh, Lu Axiao, I didn't expect you to be joking?"

"Hey..." Lu Xiaoxiao grinned, showing a row of small white teeth: "Isn't this, I'm familiar with you?"
