fierce lawyer

Chapter 36 Blind Date

Liu Shicheng felt baffled.

He didn't know what it had to do with Ji Meng to receive guests.

Why did Ji Meng suddenly lose his temper, saying that he couldn't go, and even attacked personally, saying that the girl must be worthless.

However, thinking about it carefully, Liu Shicheng always felt that it was a bit strange for him to receive the mother and daughter.

At that time, the family called and said that the aunt I met when I was a child, my mother's good sister when I was young, what kind of test would I take my daughter for, and if I passed the exam, my daughter would stay and work in Liu Shicheng's city.The family said on the phone that the aunt wanted to take this opportunity to see Liu Shicheng, and Liu Shicheng didn't know what to see.I haven't seen it for so many years, so I came here suddenly, what is it for to see.

"The two want to hang out there at night, so you can be a guide and take them to some famous places."

Famous places... Liu Shicheng himself has never been there. '

In the end, the family members said the same thing as Jimeng on the phone: "That...you should know what it means, right?"

"...?" Liu Shicheng also said, "I know."

It has been made very clear.The aunt I met when I was a child wanted to take the daughter who came here for the exam to see me, and then let myself be a tour guide, taking them to visit famous places at night.

If you don't even have this understanding, you are still a lawyer.

……

——Over there, Jimeng said again: "It's enough to treat them to a meal. Let's say that the law firm suddenly asks to work overtime at night, so I will meet you nearby and catch up, and then I have to go back to the company. I really don't have time at night .”

"...?"

This probably won't work.

"You really want to go there, don't you?" Ji Meng heard what Liu Shicheng meant from the silence, and continued to ask.

"..." Actually, Liu Shicheng didn't want to either.

Spending all night with strangers and all that stuff is horrible and irritating just thinking about it.

Just had to go.

Fortunately, the mother and daughter came over, just looking at themselves, and strolling here by the way, it shouldn't be a problem not to talk, just follow silently on the side.

I looked at my watch, it was almost time.

Over there, Ji Meng sighed: "I thought you were not interested in these things at all."

"...?"

"Looks like I was wrong."

"..."

"I don't know if I should be happy now."

"...?"

What are you interested in?

Liu Shicheng wanted to understand what Ji Meng was thinking.

Because, it seemed that Ji Meng was really unhappy.

For the first time, Liu Shicheng wanted to know what other people thought.Why did Ji Meng want him to refuse, why did he say that the daughter of that family was not good at all, and why did he think that he was very interested in the appointment.

Liu Shicheng has the professional qualities of a lawyer.I quickly analyzed it in my mind, organized these points, and came up with a rough answer.

That is, Ji Meng felt that the girl must be worthless, so he disagreed, but he mistakenly thought that he thought the girl was good.

In this way, the answer is obvious.

Ji Meng was advising himself not to "mix up" with worthless people, thinking that it was a waste of time and he would not get anything.In Ji Meng's view, communicating with people should be more purposeful.

Ji Meng is indeed a businessman, Liu Shicheng thought, every acquaintance around him has been selected.

Maybe, people from a family like Ji Meng received this type of education in their bones, such as "you don't need to meet people who don't belong to the same circle", "don't contact people you won't use in the future" and so on.

After clarifying this matter, Liu Shicheng comforted Ji Meng and said: "Don't be too absolute, no one knows what the other party's situation is. Getting to know that girl may really be a big gain."

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Ji Meng over there was completely anxious: "Liu Shicheng!"

"...?"

What's wrong with this?

Liu Shicheng continued to try to explain: "So, it can't be said that this trip is definitely useless, maybe it will be very important."

"Important fart!" Ji Meng felt that he was about to be blown up.

Liu Shicheng looked at the clock again, he had to go.

So Liu Shicheng said to Ji Meng: "Well, I'm leaving, and I'll continue talking when I come back."

"you……"

After Liu Shicheng finished his last sentence, he was about to hang up.

One second before the end of the call, I heard Jimeng say "You..." again.But it was too late, the "end call" button had already been pressed.

I didn't finish my conversation with Ji Meng, but Liu Shicheng actually cared a little bit, time didn't allow, Liu Shicheng would never be late.

There is another lawyer in the law firm who is often late and is always accused of playing big names and pretending to be garlic.Once a client went late on purpose, saying that he would also have a taste of waiting for someone.And this kind of thing would never happen to Liu Shicheng.

As for Ji Meng... Send a text message on the way and ask him carefully.At least he understands why Ji Meng is so unhappy.Knowing the reason, at least you can appease.

So decide.

……

——When he arrived at the appointed place, Liu Shicheng saw that aunt, but he didn't have the slightest impression of it, and he didn't feel that he had seen it when he was young.

There was also a girl standing next to her, with a ponytail and light makeup. She was not pretty but definitely not ugly, with a gentle smile.

"I'm He Tingting." The girl introduced herself.

"..."

Liu Shicheng did not respond.

He stood there looking at the manhole cover on the ground.

The other party should already know his name.

"..." He Tingting didn't seem to know how to continue.

She waited for a few seconds, but Liu Shicheng still lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"That," He Tingting said again, "Just call me Tingting."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere became awkward.

At this time, the aunt came out to make a rescue: "Let's eat first? Where are you going?"

"..."

Liu Shicheng walked to his mung bean car.

The mother and daughter followed behind.

Sure enough, it is so difficult to talk to someone you don't like.Liu Shicheng didn't know the mother and daughter, so naturally he didn't like them.

Liu Shicheng opened the car door and sat in, and opened the rear door so that the other two people could also get in the car.

Then, he remained silent all the way, and drove to a nearby restaurant that was highly rated on the Internet.

After being seated, Liu Shicheng casually ordered a few very sweet dishes, which were the ones he tasted when he and Ji Meng went to the restaurant when they went to Ji Meng's company for the legal publicity month last time.

"..." Lin Tingting's mother and daughter were a little speechless, took the menu and added two salty meat dishes.

"You really don't look the same as when you were a kid."

"..."

"The two of you were born at about the same time. Tingting is seven days younger than you, and she is still in the same hospital. At that time, your mother and I also said that we have always had the best relationship, and we even have to have children together."

"..."

The phone in my pocket rang.

Liu Shicheng took it out and saw that it was Ji Meng.

Thinking that Ji Meng might have something important to call from Africa, Liu Shicheng still answered.

He stood up and walked to an angle: "Ji Meng?"

"Well." Jimeng said, "I'm sorry to bother you, I have something urgent to ask you."

"Okay." Liu Shicheng said, "What's wrong?"

"I heard that the Eighth Amendment to the Criminal Law) has added provisions on overseas bribery. I would like to ask if you know what it says specifically?"

"This..." Liu Shicheng recalled, "I'm not particularly sure, I can check it for you when I go back. My impression is that overseas bribery is also considered a criminal offense, and it will be punished by the Chinese judicial organs just as it happens in China. The unit shall be fined, and the person in charge who is directly responsible and other persons directly responsible shall be punished. If the amount is relatively large, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years or criminal detention; if the amount is huge, it shall be between three and ten years. I don’t know where you are how many."

"So..." Jimeng said, "Understood. You can go back and continue receiving guests."

"Well, fine." Liu Shicheng said.

Ji Meng seems to have returned to normal.

This is great.

I was still worried about how to deal with it.

Liu Shicheng put the phone back in his pocket, and went back to the table to continue eating.

"Lawyer..." Lin Tingting asked, "For lawyers, don't you have a lot of things to do?"

Liu Shicheng stopped his chopsticks, shook his head lightly, and then resumed chopping rice.

Sometimes you do need to work overtime.However, he had nothing to do when he went home instead, and Liu Shicheng didn't mind working overtime.

"..."

After less than 10 minutes, the phone rang again.

Pick it up and look, it's still Ji Meng.

Looks like business.Liu Shicheng went to a quiet place to pick him up again.

"Sorry to bother you, I have something urgent to ask you." Ji Meng used exactly the same opening remarks as last time.

"Okay." Liu Shicheng still said the same thing, "What's wrong?"

"How do gifts and bribes generally differ?"

"The main reason is that the motive and purpose are different." Liu Shicheng said, "Gift is to give property to others free of charge, for the purpose of deepening mutual friendship or relieving people's distress, etc., but it is definitely not to seek illegitimate benefits. Power has nothing to do with it; bribery means buying the other party, seeking illegitimate benefits, and using the power of the other party. There may be multiple angles to define the motive and purpose.”

"I see."

"Ji Meng." Liu Shicheng said, "I don't deal with cases in this area. I suggest you consult with an expert in this area so that you can get the most accurate information."

It seems that it should be a fact that Ji Meng's company paid bribes in many countries.Taking the lead from Africa has attracted attention from all walks of life. China's domestic judicial department should not be silent. Ji Meng is busy.

"I will." Jimeng said again, "Just ask you first, and then hire a special lawyer after you have a little idea in mind."

"That's good."

"Go get busy."

"Okay." Liu Shicheng put away the phone, and walked back to Lin Tingting's mother and daughter.

Lin Tingting asked again: "Do people who study law particularly like to argue with others?"

"..." Liu Shicheng shook his head.

"Being unreasonable or not..."

"..."

Less than 10 minutes later, the phone rang for the third time.

"..." Liu Shicheng went to pick it up again.

"I'm sorry." On the other end of the phone line, Jimeng said, "Do you know which lawyer or which law firm is more famous in this field? Be clear, have a plan in your heart, and know what to do next, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep.”

"..."

Liu Shicheng can also understand.

It is normal behavior to collect information everywhere and ask lawyers for such a big event.If there is nothing wrong, you can also ask for peace of mind.If the situation is not optimistic, it is better to start to deal with it as soon as possible, and strive to solve the problem.

"I do know a few." Liu Shicheng said, "Why don't you take a note?"

"That's great." Jimon said, "Wait a minute."

After speaking, Ji Meng confirmed it several times.

When I went back, ten minutes had passed.

"That..." Lin Tingting asked, "You seem to be very busy?"

"..." Liu Shicheng still shook his head as an answer.

"I've been on the phone...is it business?"

"..." Liu Shicheng continued the action that Lin Tingting had seen several times, then lowered his head and ate his food.

"It's not business?" Lin Tingting seemed quite surprised.

"..." Liu Shicheng didn't respond this time.

Lin Tingting sighed: "I'm going to the bathroom."

"..."

As soon as she left her seat, Lin Tingting took out her mobile phone and sent a short message to her best friend: "I'm on a blind date, and I met the best."

"What's wrong with him?"

Lin Tingting tapped quickly: "I haven't said a word to me from the beginning to the end! But I have been answering the phone! It's not official!"

"I'll go..." The other party replied, "This is really amazing..."
