First-Class Lawyer

When Miss Fitz entered the door, she felt that the atmosphere in Lawyer Gu's office was extremely tense.

She glanced at the large lawyer's desk, and Gu Yan was leaning against the edge of the table to drink water with a cup.

He put the remote control that controlled the door in the other hand aside, walked around the edge of the table, sat down behind the desk, and asked Fitz, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Fitz shook his head subconsciously, and pointed to the side, "I'm looking for Ruan Ye."

Gu Yan raised his hand in a very gentlemanly manner, signaling her to go easy.

So Fitz looked at the intern's desk again, Yan Suizhi was sitting in a chair, holding a fake paper page in his hand, raised his head and smiled at her: "Sorry Miss Fitz, I just read to the file you sent over."

Fitz let out a strange "huh", "Why did you put the mask on again? I remember you took it off in Dick's office before?"

Professor Yanda never blinked when talking nonsense, "Just now I sneezed a few times, and then I put it on again. After all, our teacher Gu spent a whole night to finally get rid of the fever, and if I catch it again, it will be serious." Oh no."

Because his lips were covered behind the mask, his voice was muffled, with a bit of a cold nasal tone, and it sounded milder than usual.

So much so that Fitz was completely convinced by his explanation without even thinking about it, and nodded with a sudden realization: "Oh—that's true. After all, the office door is a closed space, and it is easy to be recruited even if there is no contact."

"..."

The two of them, who had just had too much contact with each other, were well-dressed and looked at the documents in front of them calmly.In a sense, it can be regarded as a descendant.

"Ah—so you finally saw the document I sent you?" Fitz reached out and tapped the mock paper in Yan Suizhi's hand, "The last George Manson case, except for the final payment of the entrusted money , The Legal Aid Association gave you an additional incentive. After all, it is very gratifying for the trainee lawyer to have such a performance, you are amazing."

"Thank you."

In fact, Yan Suizhi spent a long time pretending to take it, and didn't read a few words at all.He still glanced at the ten lines while listening to Fitz, "So, I just need to sign here for confirmation?"

"Yes." Miss Fitz smiled, as if she was the one who got the bonus, "Check the asset card to see if you have received these two payments, and sign when you do."

Yan Suizhi had seen Miss Fitz's transfer efficiency on the first day she came to Southern Cross.So he didn't look at the asset card at all, and just wanted to sign at the end of the document.

Haven't written yet.

Attorney Gu coughed first.

Miss Fitz: "???"

Gu Yan looked calm, and turned a page of the document without raising his head, "It's okay, my throat feels uncomfortable."

"Cough earlier next time..."

This was what Yan Suizhi said indiscriminately when he almost signed the wrong name last time. Unexpectedly, Gu Yan actually remembered it and cooperated with it in a serious manner.

Yan Suizhi signed the name "Ruan Ye" in a fluttering manner, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

He felt that he was really dull. He used to only think that classmate Gu was funny when he was angry, but why didn't he find that he was also so funny when he was obedient.

Fitz said cheerfully: "In this way, you don't have to worry about the rent of the apartment for half a year."

"Indeed, but I don't need to move to a new apartment." Yan Suizhi said in a very natural tone without raising his head.

"Ah? Not moving?"

They all lived in the same villa area, and there was no need to hide anything.Yan Suizhi glanced at Gu Yan, blinked at Fitz, and said jokingly: "Last night, taking advantage of Lawyer Gu's fever and weak willpower, I coaxed and tricked him into letting him go, and reluctantly agreed to take Let me live in the attic for a while."

"Really?" Miss Fitz was happy for him for a while, and then sighed wryly, "Is Gu always so talkative when he has a fever? If I knew I had no money to live in a villa, I would have tried it with you. Maybe there would be." A handsome roommate."

It's a real pity.

Yan Suizhi nodded with a smile: "Yes."

"..."

Lawyer Gu looked indifferent.

A certain person was kissing him 2 minutes ago, but when he turned around, he started making fun of him with others.

Damn stuff.

"The signed document has been delivered to your optical brain, is there anything else?" Yan Suizhi asked.

Fitz nodded: "There is indeed one more thing. The institute plans to hold a dinner party for the interns on Saturday."

"Dinner?"

"Yes, in fact, there was this plan two days ago, and it has just been officially finalized." Fitz said: "On the one hand, everyone thinks that your group of interns have performed really well, and it hasn't been too long. Outstanding grades, this is mainly talking about you. On the other hand, Miss Phyllida was a little frightened just now. The affairs officers don't want any student to leave bad memories in the Southern Cross, so it is also a kind of appease."

She paused for a moment, then said gossip again: "Actually, it's because you both avoided the flattering reception last time. The partners and big bosses above didn't see you, so they couldn't suppress their curiosity."

Partners and big bosses?

Yan Suizhi glanced at Gu Yan, and it happened that Gu Yan also looked over.

They had previously felt that some people in the Southern Cross Law Firm might have something to do with the bombing, so it was hard to say whether the dinner party was caused by pure curiosity or mixed with something else.

"Okay, I see." Yan Suizhi said.

In fact, Fitz came here mainly to talk about this, and she was about to leave after she kicked on her high heels.

But when she passed by Gu Yan's desk, she stopped again, staring at the pot of evergreen bamboo on the table as if she had seen a ghost, "Hey? My God, how did it become like this? Veteran of potted plants in the institute! Who did it?"

Lawyer Gu said indifferently: "What do you think?"

It has been kept green and green for so many years without any problems, but some people died as soon as they came, and it goes without saying who did it.

Fitz was suddenly blessed. He recalled the electric sparks and the indescribably tense atmosphere in the room when he first entered the office. He used his associative ability in a timely manner, "Oh—so I knocked on the door for a long time before you opened it. that's because……"

Lawyer Gu was silent for a moment, then casually followed her words, "...I'm educating this intern who watered the potted plants to death."

"No wonder!"

Yan Suizhi: "..."

Miss, are you stupid?

……

Although Southern Cross Law Firm deliberately suppressed it, the incident of Lawyer Dean receiving the threatening courier was reported, and it became one of the topics of discussion on the Internet the next day, but the discussion was still not as hot as "infection". things on a par.

Several senior affairs officers lost their temper in the office all day, while looking for a public relations officer, they yelled: "Who the hell didn't open the door?!"

This made the atmosphere in the entire law firm extremely tense, sparks were flying in the air, and even a wrong sentence might catch fire.

The irritability of the senior affairs officers is not unreasonable, because there are some reckless and brainless people who are prone to imitate mentality at this time.Originally, they might have only scolded a few words under the report of the "shacklehead" case, but after seeing the incident of threatening the courier, some people would realize: "Ah! So it can still be like this!"

So for three consecutive days after that, the number of express mail received by the law firm doubled several times.At first, the recipients honestly wrote "Dean", but later they began to write scribbles, including "Hobbs, Ivy, and Moore". Even Fitz and Gu Yan were not spared, it was impossible to guard against.

So Southern Cross Law Firm had to start rejecting all shipments, and then asked the police to intervene.

Under normal circumstances, the barristers of the Southern Cross Law Firm are independent of each other. Whoever takes what case can ask a few casual questions at most, and there will be no excessive communication and interference.But after a few days of flying around like this, everyone in the whole law firm, from the clerk to the intern, paid attention to Dean's "shackle head" case.

Even Hobbs, who was isolated in the Ivy Hospital, was no exception. He specially dialed the communication of his student Locke and asked about the situation at the law firm.

In addition, those similar and controversial old cases are being brought up more and more.

"So, I won't take this kind of case in the future." During lunch, Locke poked the creamy mushroom sauce on the plate and vowed.

Since everyone's work is on track, their group of interns seldom get together for dinner.Either go out to do errands and have a meal in a hurry, or eat with the teacher and the client.For the past three days, Yan Suizhi spent every meal with Gu Yan.

In the past, it was common for Gu Yan to skip a meal or two when he got busy, but now, in order to take care of Yan Suizhi's stomach, he has followed the rules, which is actually a good thing.

But at noon this day, he was taken away by the senior affairs officer, and he had other things to deal with.So Yan Suizhi sat at a table with a few interns.

Anna also changed her usual carefree personality, and nodded, "Well, I don't touch this kind of thing anymore."

Yan Suizhi was not surprised by their reaction. There are indeed many lawyers in the league who are like this. In order not to cause trouble for themselves, they only pick cases within the safe range all their lives.This is also an option, which is actually quite good.

And Fei Lida, who was most frightened by this matter, has been silent for the past three days.She quietly took three or four mouthfuls, then pushed the plate, and said sullenly, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days..."

"What?" Locke asked.

"Consider whether to continue." Fei Lida said, "I kind of want...to transfer to the prosecutor's office or the court."

Generally speaking, the internship before and after graduation largely determines the future development and direction.But not everyone is like this. Some people do practice in the court for a while, and finally decide to enter the law firm.There are also people like Fei Lida who stayed in the law firm for a while and changed their minds to go to the prosecutor's office or the court.

Several people comforted her a few words, and then someone mentioned: "The case that the dean handled in his 20s has also been uncovered, have you seen it?"

Everyone at the table nodded and said, "I see."

They are different from Gu Yan.To them, Yan Suizhi was the former dean, and whether they respected or admired them, they were separated from each other. To put it bluntly, he was still half a stranger.They don't think about whether their ideas are compatible with the other party. After all, whether they agree or not, it has no real impact.

They didn't even think about Yan Suizhi's ideas at all, they just discussed for a while with an eight-layer thick filter——

"The dead are the greatest, the dean is so good."

The dead are great...

Yan Suizhi: "..."

"I didn't expect the dean to be scolded when he was young."

"What do you mean when you were young..."

"Bah, no, it refers to when the boy just graduated."

"Why does it sound so awkward to me to use the word Maotou boy on Dean Yan?"

"Hmm...is there anything new?"

Yan Suizhi: "..."

"I'm suddenly inspired again." This is Locke, the fool.

"What the hell?"

"Controversial cases can still be accepted once in a while, as long as you don't get sent bombs. You see, the dean has been scolded before and became the dean and became a first-class lawyer. Then maybe I will be able to be scolded in the future?"

Yan Suizhi: "..."

It has to be said that after talking about Yan Suizhi, everyone swept away their previous frustration and became lively again.But Yan Suizhi knew that this was only temporary, and when they really encountered those things in the future, they would formally experience tangled choices again.

Maybe someone will become the second Gu Yan, maybe someone will become the second Ke Jin, maybe neither.

On the way back to the law firm after lunch, Locke suddenly asked Yan Suizhi, "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Sui was taken aback, "Huh?"

Although the little fool is silly, he really cares about his friends.He said: "Is it also because of intimidating the courier? Or those reports? I feel like you are a little absent-minded."

"Is there?" Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Locke said, "During the meal just now, you were just wiping your hands with a sterile paper towel and distracted. I took a look. You wiped your ten fingers repeatedly for 5 minutes."

"..."

Yan Suizhi was stunned for a moment, then said dumbfoundingly: "It's just idle."
