no longer ordinary friends

Cai Mei glared at Cai Lan: "What's wrong with being a lawyer in the county seat? You don't come to ask Chengcheng for help if you speak so loudly!"

Cai Lan sneered coldly, she still had to rely on Zhou Zhicheng, she changed her face again, and leaned towards Zhou Zhicheng attentively: "Chengcheng, this is your cousin, A Tao liked to play with you the most when she was young, You must help her, this is bigamy."

Zhou Zhicheng looked at Lu He and didn't say anything to him, knowing that the young man was arrogant.

She only said: "Auntie, Uncle Chen, this is a matter for Lin Tao and Fade Chen, and they should handle it by themselves."

The two of them were the parties involved, but they didn't say a word.

Chen Fei faltered and didn't know what to say. Lin Tao's face was pale and her body was weak, and she suddenly passed out.

Zhou Zhicheng stood up quickly and went to help her, but underestimated that Lin Tao's body was very heavy after fainting, and almost fell with her. Fortunately, Jiang Xianghuai helped her.

His hand held her arm, through the thin half-sleeved shirt, his palm was hot and scorching.

"Go and hug her." Jiang Xianghuai said calmly to Fade Chen who was stunned.

Fade Chen hurriedly sent Lin Tao to a small clinic run by a retired old doctor nearby. He Kailun didn't see anything wrong, so he rushed to the court for a trial. He has a class action lawsuit today.

Cai Mei went to wash a plate of cherries and came over and put them on the table: "Try them all. Grandma just bought imported cherries this morning. Cai Lan's greedy mouth was there just now, so I didn't take them out for her to eat."

After Ye Bai practiced with Zhou Zhicheng, he often hang out at Zhou's house, he was not polite with Cai Ama, and boasted: "Mmm, it's very sweet."

Seeing that Jiang Xianghuai didn't eat it, Grandma Cai thought he was embarrassed, so she casually wiped her hand on the rag, grabbed a handful of cherries, and forced them into his hand: "Xiang Huai, you eat too, don't be polite to Grandma. "

Jiang Xianghuai hesitated for a moment, but still took the cherries with a smile. He just held them in his hand and squeezed them for a long time, but he didn't eat a single one.

Cai Mei let out an "hey" and nearly fed it directly into his mouth: "You kid, you weren't so shy ten years ago."

Zhou Zhicheng knew that he had a slight obsession with cleanliness, he didn't like to get too close to others, and he didn't like to eat food that others touched, not to mention that Grandma just wiped her hands with a dirty rag in front of him.

He was silent, looking up at Zhou Zhicheng, as if asking for help, just like when they were together before.

Zhou Zhicheng ignored him and just cared about eating the cherries by himself.

Grandma Cai said: "You are all having dinner at Zhou's house tonight, which is considered a welcome banquet. Grandpa Zhou bought a lot of seafood and cooked a big meal tonight."

"no problem!"

Ye Bai responded, but she was still thinking about Lin Tao: "Fade Chen isn't bigamy, right? He and Lin Tao haven't received a marriage certificate, only a de facto marriage. Our country only recognizes the 1994 "Marriage Regulations" that came into effect If they had a de facto marriage before, then if their de facto marriage is not recognized by the law, there will be no prerequisite for bigamy, right?"

Zhou Zhicheng nodded.

Cai Mei didn't understand, but she knew that Cai Lan would be half-dead with anger, so she couldn't help being happy, and stroked Ye Bai's hair: "Xiao Bai, you are really smart."

Ye Bai was proud: "Grandma Cai, you know, I am the one who passed the Fa exam once, am I good?"

"That's amazing, I'll reward you with an extra big lobster tonight."

"One more abalone fan!" She hugged Cai Ama's waist coquettishly.

"Good good."

This is the thing Ye Bai is most proud of so far. She is an ordinary person. She graduated from an ordinary second-best university. There are less than five students who have passed the law exam in the entire law school. The highest score among the five.

Ye Bai didn't have any evil intentions, and asked the Mingdy trio enthusiastically: "Did you also survive the first battle? My master, Lawyer Zhou, also survived the first battle!"

Hearing this, Lu He sneered softly, with sarcasm in his eyes, but he didn't answer her.

Ye Bai blinked: "Lawyer Lu, what's so funny about passing the legal exam in World War I?"

Lu He: "It's really not funny. The funny thing is you, Lawyer Ye, you are the first person I see who brags about passing World War I. Most people around me are ashamed of World War II because they passed the legal exam. It’s just the lowest entry barrier in the legal profession, nothing to be proud of.”

The "ordinary people" he refers to are elite lawyers like him who graduated from prestigious schools and work in top law firms.

Ye Bai was so humiliated by him, she also knew that there was a big gap between them, from the college entrance examination with a difference of about a hundred points, to the four years of legal education and the gap in vision, before she couldn't even tell the difference between lawsuits and lawsuits. It's not a lawsuit, and I don't know whether the law firm is good or bad.

She only found out after graduating this year that the big dream firm she had always wanted to go to when she was in college was just a ridiculously low-end law firm that only boasted and fooled laymen in the eyes of lawyers from prestigious schools.

But no matter what, for her, passing the law test is a great thing, at least she can be a lawyer.

Ye Bai clenched his fists and was about to say something when he heard Jiang Par from Mingdi Law Firm smiling at her and saying, "You can pass the law test after a single battle, which already shows your excellence. Passing the law test every year The rate is only about 13.00%, and the rate of passing World War I is far lower than 13.00%.

Ye Bai nodded vigorously, because the law test is difficult for most ordinary people!

Jiang Xianghuai sighed again: "At least here, you are already better than someone. Some people have never passed the World War II law exam, and their academic level is not up to the threshold of a law firm, so they have to go through the back door to work in a law firm. It's pretty embarrassing."

Zhao Yanjia felt so sad that he was stabbed in the back severely.

All eyes were on him, he was fidgeting and blushing: "It's not me, although my brother is indeed a partner, but I'm relying on my real ability... Hey, don't you believe it? Look at me What do you mean, don’t look at it! Look at the young master’s charge again!”

Ye Bai nodded and smiled knowingly.

Zhao Yanjia became angry from embarrassment: "Second girl, what do you mean by nodding?"

The smile on Ye Bai's lips deepened: "It turned out to be you, the man who failed the law test, the man from the back door of the law firm, study hard, the third time is not enough, there is still the fourth time, the fifth time..."

Young Master Zhao was furious: "Who is inferior? I will definitely pass the third time!"

Ye Bai: "Really? You have committed bigamy wrongly."

Master Zhao, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, turned his back in anger, and took another bottle of Wahaha to drink.

Zhou Zhicheng was amused, and said to Zhao Yanjia: "Would you like to try to talk about your analytical thinking?"

Zhao Yanjia was a little confused. He remembered that the crime of bigamy clearly admitted to a de facto marriage.

"The crime of bigamy means that a person who has a spouse marries again or knows that another person has a spouse and marries him, right? Then, the crime of bigamy also recognizes a de facto marriage? When both a man and a woman have a spouse or one of them has a spouse, the Living together in name constitutes a de facto marriage, which also constitutes the crime of bigamy."

Zhou Zhicheng nodded: "Then you substitute Chen Fei, Lin Tao and Chen Fei's current wife into the three-person relationship of bigamy."

Zhao Yanjia's eyes paused for a moment, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He clarified the relationship, and he was dumbfounded. He reversed the two "marriage relationships" of Fade Chen.

"The de facto marriage recognized by the crime of bigamy means that the legally recognized spouse lives with others in the name of husband and wife. In this case, Lin Tao and Chen Fei only held a wedding banquet without obtaining a certificate. There is only a de facto marriage between them. But this kind of de facto marriage established after 1994 is not recognized by the current law. That is to say, when Fade Chen got married with another woman, he was still unmarried in the legal sense, so his marriage with another woman Marriage is naturally legal and does not constitute bigamy."

Zhou Zhicheng smiled: "As for the de facto marriage recognized by the crime of bigamy you mentioned, it means that if Lin Tao and Fade Chen have obtained a marriage certificate and have a legal marriage, Fade Chen will live together with other women in the name of husband and wife. , did not obtain a certificate, but there is a de facto marriage, bigamy will be established."

Lu He also doesn't like Zhao Yanjia. This kind of idiot rich second generation coming to an elite law firm is harmful. He can't do anything well and needs someone else to wipe his ass for him. I don't know how many shifts I have worked overtime, just to revise Zhao Yanjia's shit-like manuscript.

The irritability in Lu He's mood was a little obvious, but Zhou Zhicheng still called him to give him some opinions.

Zhou Zhicheng said: "You work in Mindy, I believe you must understand better than me that a lawyer's bounden duty is to protect the legal interests of the client, but just now both Lin Tao and Chen Fei are here, who is our client? Lin Tao Or Fade Chen?"

Her tone is gentle. Many people have the stereotype of female lawyers as being as aggressive and aggressive as a strong woman, but she is not.

She only said: "Before specifying the client, it is best for the lawyer to remain silent and not make a public position analysis."

Lu He understood this truth and said, "But this case is too simple. You can tell whether it is a crime of bigamy at a glance. Marriage laws are very simple. Everyone understands it..."

Zhou Zhicheng smiled helplessly: "You think it's simple because you're smart and good at studying, but there are still many ordinary people in this world who don't understand the law, and they haven't even read much. By their side, but the marriage law is far away from them, they don't know what you said..."

She thought that Lu He should have never seen the non-elite world outside the city. His understanding of this world is simple and arrogant, and it is absolutely elitist.

Jiang Xianghuai watched Zhou Zhicheng lead the newcomer, he couldn't remember how he took her before.

Non-litigation lawyers do basic drafts and checks at the beginning. Interns and junior lawyers are more like assembly line workers in a factory. He doesn’t have time to lead people as patiently as Chengcheng. If he has, he should also Only brought Chengcheng.

Ye Bai unconditionally supports her master Zhou Zhicheng: "That's right, Lawyer Lu, your talent is not for you to despise other people who are not as good as you. There is a saying that you not only handle cases, but also Their life, as a litigator, must be in awe!"

Zhao Yanjia looked at Ye Bai suspiciously, and asked sincerely: "Lawyer Ye, are you the kind of person whose profile picture is a formal photo with hands crossed across the chest, and whose WeChat name is a certain lawyer plus a phone number, and who forwards legal news and lawyers' minds all day long in Moments?" The kind of marketing professional who likes chicken soup still likes to pretend to be a high-end lawyer who claims to be professional?"

Ye Bai was precisely poked: "..."
