Chapter 111: Law Firm Reception (2)

Qiao was asked so, it was more obvious than Gu Yan: "What do you mean? Why can't I come?"
He turned to look at the brightly lit manor-style hotel and wondered: "The letter your law firm handed me."
Gu Yan: "Letter from Southern Cross?"
He did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Southern Cross Law Firm, only a simple concept of cooperation. I haven't changed places after working for many years, just because I was a friend with Adams.
Therefore, the closer he is to those close to him, the less he calls the Southern Cross "we are" and calls his name directly.
Of course, Joe knew this, he was just stunned, and then he responded and changed his mouth: "Yes, the Southern Cross partner named Gao told me. Look at you so surprised ... Not the same notice?"
Yan Suizhi said: "I have always said that it is an internal reception, welcome interns, temporary change?"
Gu Yan asked: "When did you receive the letter?"
"A few days ago." Joe said, "I thought you must make an excuse to avoid it, and refused Mr. Gao. It was only last night that you both came and changed your mind. There was no surprise to surprise you. It now seems that there is no surprise but surprise! "
Master Qiao complained half-truly, and turned his head to pat Ke Jin very naturally, "Is it?"
Ke Jin's attention was somewhat distracted. After listening to his words, it took a long time to respond, and his black and white eyes slowly turned.
Qiao always had great patience with him. He waited for Ke Jin's eyes before he smiled, and said to Gu Yan, "Look, he agrees."
Gu Yan looked helpless.
"Do you know any other people?" He asked again.
"The news I heard is that your partner is about to have a birthday and decided to make it lively. Of course, I think his main purpose is to pull a few more networks of consortium families. So ... Manson, Batu, Cliff, etc. will definitely be there, oh, and my free and loose type. "
Qiao briefly listed a few, and said: "Now it seems that the internal and external notices are different. No wonder, I said how can you participate in this kind of party, I feel bored."
There is a pair of news on both sides, whether it is Gu Sui of Yan Sui, or Qiao, there is some lack of interest.
"I really hate being cheated." Joe said, "If you don't even go in, let's ourselves--"
He hadn't finished saying this. A few people came out of the hotel and greeted him with a smile.
They were all partners of Southern Cross and the clerk, Adams was there, and Gu Yan squeezed his eyes several times.
In this way, I can't run even if I want to run.
Master Qiao did not shy away. He smiled with a face on the grave and was ushered into the hotel with Yan Suizhi and them.
There are two villa-like twin buildings in front of and behind the hotel, with a huge glass garden in between, and the reception is in the arranged garden.
One of Yan Sui entered and saw the trembling trainees, huddled in front of an obscure dining table in the corner, like a nest of quails.
"Nguyen--" Locke seemed to see a savior when he saw Yan Sui, but he didn't dare to raise his throat because of the scene, so he could only beckon wildly.
They are more interesting than others.
So Yan Suizhi raised her hand and motioned towards them.
Gu Yanjin glanced at the main venue and followed.
Then came Master Qiao and Ke Jin ...
Locke didn't expect that he was so powerful. He recruited four people in one move, turned his head suddenly, and secretly shot his mouth and slap, "Let you call out ..."
The relationship between these interns and Yan Sui has been very good, but when I met Gu Yan, it was like a mouse and a cat, let alone a stranger such as Joe.
"Lawyer Gu, who are these two?"
The intern's eyes were pitiful, and people couldn't bear it anymore.
Yan Suizhi turned to look at Gu Yan, Gu Yan turned to look at Qiao calmly, Qiao looked innocent.
"Forget it, let me introduce you--" Yan Suizhi couldn't hold back and laughed.
But when he was about to introduce him, he was preempted by Master Qiao himself. "Joe, grow up for several years as your seniors. Are you all from Metz University?"
He introduced himself only to nominate without mentioning his surname. He may want to emphasize his individuality more than the family behind him.
Locke nodded quickly, "Yes, both."
This self-introduction directly skips other identities, only to say that it is a senior, which makes some trembling interns relax.
"Oh." Joe said, "I'm at the same level as your lawyer Gu, but I am a few years old. Strictly speaking, your lawyer Gu wants to call my brother. You can do whatever you want."
Gu Yan: "..."
intern:"……"
Yan Suizhi was surprised. He relied on everyone's inattention, and his hanging hand hooked Gu Yan's finger, "Qiao is bigger than you?"
He always thought that the two were of the same age, and even for personality reasons, Gu Yan always felt older.
Attorney Gu is very useful for such small moves.
But he has n’t answered anything yet. Master Qiao himself has heard the keyword eyes, and his ears respond sharply: "Yeah, I do n’t know? I ’m older than him, but I ’ve only stayed a few levels and become the same session. Now. "
He was particularly frank about this kind of thing and instantly made the interns feel cordial.
"Are you also from the law school?" Felida looked curious, after all, the law school had never heard of this student.
"Do you look like me?"
"Uh……"
"I think your dean should not allow the law school to have such nonsense students as me." Master Qiao said rightly, "I am not a masochist."
"..."
Some sticks have such a skill, one sentence can make everyone present in the shot, from intern to Gu Yan to Yan Sui himself, no one is spared.
Master Qiao saw their inexhaustible expressions and suddenly laughed, "Okay, don't tease you anymore. Going on, your lawyer Gu will be the first to turn my face."
He said and pointed to Ke Jin again, his voice calmed down, "This is the pro-semester of your law school, the same grade as Gu Tongling, surnamed Ke."
The psychologist who specializes in treating Ke Jin has said that he should not treat him too differently, how to come as usual, so it is not easy to stimulate his emotions.
But in daily life, it is actually very difficult to achieve this. No matter whether it is a classmate or a friend, he will always take care of him more or less as a special person, and only Joe has been working hard to pursue it.
As law students, how many have heard of Ke Jin, so Locke is very interesting, politely called the senior, and did not ask too much.
"How long have you been here?" Yan Suizhi looked at the garden and asked Locke.
"It's been a while."
Filida couldn't hold back and whispered: "Isn't it that we are the only ones in us? I understand the problem or what, how to engage in such a big scene, most of them have appeared in various reports."
"I just inquired quietly just now, there is more than that." Anna said, "There will be a wave coming tomorrow."
The garden is brightly lit, with sofas and dining tables, and various entertainment facilities, which is no different from indoors. But the roof is all glass, and you can see the starry sky when you look up.
"If you ignore those buzzing fake polite words, the environment is still very good." Joe said, "I think this corner is very good, we can sit here and drink, mind girls boys?"
The interns liked him very much, and quickly shook their heads and said with a smile: "Do not mind do not mind."
But obviously, this desire is not so easy to achieve.
Even if they ignore those guests, those guests will not let them go.
Some are out of courtesy, some are close to.
In short, they haven't been quiet in this corner, and there are endless stream of people greeting with glasses.
The interns are very desperate.
Some of them are very curious about Yan Sui.
"What about the famous intern?"
"I heard that."
"Yes, the case of the Manson family."
...
This almost sums up a set of standard opening remarks.
Gu Yan and Qiao always greet the people first, one is lukewarm and the other is dangling.
Two people can block most of the wine. Those who insist on staying and chatting will always hit the wall here in Yan Suizhi.
The basic process is probably like this-
"Oh, are you the intern?"
Yan Sui pretends to be stupid: "Who?"
"Isn't you? The one who took the Mansons case."
Yan Suizhi: "I didn't pick it up."
"Mistaken?"
"The Legal Aid Committee randomly distributed it."
"..."
"I heard about your performance in court, which is very commendable."
Yan Suizhi: "Then you may need to praise my teacher even more, basically because of his remote guidance."
"It is good for young people to be humble, but they don't have to be so humble. An intern can argue the case so beautifully, not just by the teacher."
Yan Suizhi: "Yes, it depends on modern communications."
"..."
"At least your performance in court is great, it is said to be very calm."
Yan Suizhi: "It's okay, the legs are shaking all the time. Thank you for the design of the court's defense seat, which perfectly blocks the lower body."
"..."
"I was fortunate to sit in the auditorium at the time. The defense point was very good. It was really surprising that an intern could do this."
Yan Suizhi: "Then don't be surprised. It wasn't the defense point I was looking for."
He said that he turned around and said to Gu Yan seriously, "Teacher, this gentleman is boasting you."
"..."
This person remembers that he still wears an intern's skin, and his speaking style is different from when he was the dean.
But it didn't make visitors happy.
At the same time, he silently recorded these people who were very curious about him.
"My mom." Locke pointed his finger, "Who are those just now, several of our partners, and Mr. Qin, the smart metal giant? Cliff, the alliance used Does the shuttle machine 1/3 belong to his family? But he seems to be more inclined to freight? And that Mr. Batu, his family ... what is his family doing? "
"Let's do the potion." Filida said, "Anyway, there are everything."
It is a matter of enthusiasm for the alliance's current law firms to get in touch with various industries.
Therefore, such a reception is also understandable, but the interns can't handle this kind of scene.
But it didn't take long for their respective teachers to come, leading them to let the big brothers know each other well. In the end, even the old-fashioned Hobbes came.
He spent many days in the hospital, finally got rid of the suspicion of infection, and rested at home for another day. This was the first time he appeared in front of everyone.
"You ..." Hobbes' eyes became very complicated when he saw Gu Yan. "You actually took the case of shaking his head."
His tone could not be more surprised or mocked. How to say it is a bit like a senior looking at a junior who does n’t follow the routine.
"I'll take it if you find me." Gu Yan's answer was very plain.
Hobbs glanced at Adams who was drinking not far away. "What surprised me even more is that your clerk actually agreed."
Gu Yandao: "Really."
Hobbes was not keen on chatting, and Gu Yan had nothing to chat about. After listening, he narrowed the eagle eyes and said, "I really can't understand the ideas of you young people."
His eyes glanced over Yan Suizhi, staying for a moment, and then rushed to Locke: "If you leave, why stay at the corner to attend the reception?"
Locke scratched his head pretendingly, greeted Yan Suizhi and they followed Hobbes away.
They quickly gathered around the partner with the surname Gao, and then chatted with those of Cliff and Badu, as if they had become a group in just a few minutes.
"That old man still laughed." Yan Suizhi looked at Hobbes over there and sighed.
Joe said, "He smiled at me just now."
This can't be more normal. After all, these people's right to speak is not comparable to that of ordinary people. When they get along well, someone can always speak. Few people will not live up to their own futures, including smart old-fashioned Hobbes.
But not long after that, the gathering place was broken up--
Someone was late.
There were a group of people, not to mention a dozen or so, but most of them stopped at the gate of the garden, like a dedicated guard, standing together with the security guards outside the door.
There are only three people who really enter the garden. Two of them are a pair of brothers. Their facial features are somewhat similar, but their temperaments are diametrically opposed. The older man with short hair looked away when he looked at people, with a sense of arrogance.
Coincidentally, not long ago, Yan Suizhi also met him in the court of Lyra.
He is the eldest son of the Manson family, Brewer Manson.
The waiter greeted him with the tray, and Brewer Manson didn't look at it, taking a glass of wine from inside. The ring on the index finger shone through the light under the light, and there were three black diamonds and a huge k on the ring, revealing the wealth of publicity.
Half behind him is Miro Manson, the second son of the Manson family. His hair was longer than his brother's, and he combed it carefully behind his head, and a few slipped down on one side, matching his eyes, to see that everyone had a playful meaning. He also picked up a glass of wine when he entered the door, before raising his eyebrows, he raised his eyebrows and took a few sips. He also has an accessory similar to Brewer. Three black diamonds hold a huge k, but it is not a ring, but an ear stud, nailed to his right ear, showing arrogance ...
The remaining man is the assistant of the two.
"Oh, how is George Manson?"
Compared with these two, the young master of the Manson family is really ... just a young master. Yan Suizhi didn't see his figure, so he asked Qiao.
"It should be possible to be discharged in a few days." Joe said.
"Not yet recovered?"
"Actually, it recovered a few days ago, except that he kept silent and ignored people." Joe pouted and took a sip of wine in silence.
There hasn't been much noise outside, but Joe learned from the inside yesterday morning that Zhao Zemu should be the one who started against Master Manson. There should be no mistake.
After learning the news, he went to Manson's ward and wanted to tell the result. But the full-mouth horse race said for a long time, and never entered the topic.
In the end, Manson suddenly withdrew his eyes from the window and said, "You haven't had such a grind before."
It was the first time in so many days that Master Manson took the initiative to speak. Before, he was either in a daze or sleeping.
Qiao snorted and remained silent for a moment, saying, "It's Zhao Zemu."
After listening to Manson, the expression on his face had not changed at all, and no accident was revealed. He just cast his gaze out the window again, and after a while he said: "Well ... I know."
"You know?" Joe was surprised.
But after that, Manson said nothing.
"I thought about it later, maybe he was paralyzed in the bathtub that day, and he didn't really get dizzy." Joe murmured in a low voice.
It was then that he suddenly understood why Manson had been so happily after waking up, as if he felt a sense of disgust at everything. Probably because he knew who did those things.
"But why? I never figured it out."
"What did Zhao Zemu say?" Gu Yan asked.
Joe said: "The police said that his remarks were due to Manson's mischief in the past few years. Some of the things he did made him feel very humiliated. It seems that the Zhao family only deserves to carry shoes behind Manson. In addition, some time ago, the cooperation between the Zhao family and the Manson family had become a problem, and it almost became an abandoned child. He was a little unwilling to do something to regain the attention of the two elder sons of the Manson family, such as removing obstacles ... Whoever loves to believe who believes, I do n’t believe anyway. "
After thinking about it, he glanced at Brewer Manson and said: "His remarks made Brewer and Miró also come to a police station for a day trip, but it was just a day trip, nothing else. Thing. "
The Manson brothers entered the door quite hard.
Because they had just settled, most of the people at the reception surrounded them.
After a round of greetings, the wine glasses were empty.
"Anyway, let me sit down first." Brewer Manson made a joke with several of them. "Are you going to knock me down at the door?"
They laughed and walked towards a sofa. After the crowd dispersed, Brewer Manson's gaze swept to Yan Suizhi's chatting corner.
Miro Manson followed, and the joke's gaze first stopped on Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan for a while, and finally fell on Joe.
He said hello to Brewer Manson, and walked slowly without his pockets. Brewer Manson frowned behind him, but he didn't stop it. He only nodded far away from Yan and they nodded and walked away in the crowd.
Miro Manson raised the glass to Joe from afar, "Look who I saw! Why are you here?"
Qiao also raised a toast to him, but didn't take a sip. He naturally asked: "If a friend is here, why don't I come?"
"Oh-I thought you would never show up in the presence of your father."
"Is he here now? Are you looking for me?" Joe said very unhappy.
He and Brewer Manson can still pretend to be polite, and have no good face with this guy.
"Aren't you? That should be tomorrow too."
Miro Manson swept the circle half-truthfully, he was a little sloppy and uncomfortable to listen to.
Joe rolled his eyes.
"Young talent, lawyer Gu?" Miro Manson no longer teases Joe. He touched Gu Yan's cup and turned to Yan Suizhi, narrowing his eyes. "This must be Lawyer Gu's intern. Now. "
He was holding a wine glass, his little finger pointed at Yan Suizhi, and said with regret: "I heard Brewer say that your performance in court that day was impressive. I have always been very annoyed why I went to the other day. Appointment, otherwise you will not miss it. "
This is not something. At the time of the trial, his younger brother George Manson was still alive and dead in the hospital, and he had to go to a date.
The least important thing is that he actually said so with no burden.
The news reports are all about "the two brothers' faces are haggard and their expressions are serious". I don't know which one blindly saw it.
Yan Suizhi hadn't dealt with this person very much before, but he could feel it in just a few words. He was more arrogant than his brother Brewer Manson and didn't know how to converge.
"In compensation, I want to have a drink with you." Miro Manson said, "What about your cup?"
Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows, and just wanted to say something, he felt that a glass was stuffed in his hand.
He looked down, a glass of milk.
"..."
One of Yansui's face was firmly stabilized.
Miro Manson laughed angrily: "... What does lawyer Gu mean?"
Before Gu Yan spoke, Yan Suizhi smiled and said, "I changed my stomach three times because I drank alcohol without any care due to my young age, and my stomach was full of alcoholic ulcers. There was a little bleeding in these two days I do n’t dare to drink. Of course, if Mr. Manson insists, it ’s okay for me to make a fourth stomach.

It sounded a little dazed.
"..."
Miro Manson accidentally imagined it, and looking at the wine in his hand was a bit appetizing.
"That's it." He greened his face, knocked perfunctoryly on Yan Suizhi's milk glass, and turned away.
When the irritating Manson was invited away, one of Yansui turned his head, and saw that Joe's face was also green and wowed. He looked at him in endless words and asked, "Have you changed three stomachs?"
Yan Suizhi: "Do you believe this?"
Joe: "... Your tone is very sincere."
Yan Sui's tone was more sincere: "I passed away once."
Joe: "..."
The young master looked at Gu Yan with dissatisfaction, "Your intern treats me like a fool, don't you care?"
Gu Yandan took a sip of wine and said, "Wait later."
Joe: "..."
After all, the people haven't arrived yet. The highlight is the next day, plus the arrival and departure of the passenger boat, this night did not last long.
The law firm arranged rooms for everyone in the hotel, went up to Manson and went down to the intern. However, there are still differences in treatment. The guests of Manson are on the first floor, and there are separate code locks and butlers on each floor. The lawyers in the institute are also top-level suites. The interns live in the front building, two people in an apartment.
I don't know in what order they were arranged. In short, they came here to Yansui, and it happened to be a single one. He lived alone.
Gu Yan frowned when he heard the room arrangement.
Master Qiao is actually a very attentive person. He noticed this and discovered Yan Suizhi who left the order. In fact, he didn't think about that much, but in the spirit of "a friend's intern is my intern", he simply brought Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi to his own level.
"This whole floor is where I live with Ke Jin, which is boring." Joe said.
This kind of housekeeper on the first floor is a bit like a whole house. The entrance of the coded door is the small swimming pool and activity area of ​​the living room, dining room, and there are several ensuite bedrooms.
Joe arranged Ke Jin in one of them, and he lived in the other room where it was most convenient to look after him.
"It's also troublesome to take care of this, why not just stay in one room?" Yan Suizhi looked puzzled beside him.
Gu Yan whispered, "In the beginning, it was for convenience to live in a room. Later, someone wrote a report that was bad for Ke Jin."
Yan Suizhi understood, "However, why didn't I see any report?"
"He was pressed down by Qiao, but he has been paying attention since then." Gu Yan glanced at the layout of the hotel. "The privacy here is quite high, but he has developed a habit, and it is the same in his own home. . "
"What are you mumbling about?" Joe came over and said, "You pick two between them. By the way, Gu, are you in a hurry to sleep? If not in a hurry, accompany me for two drinks."
They didn't have much interest in the reception just now, but they didn't drink much. At this time, the outsider was gone, and Joe seemed to be worried.
Gu Yan patted Yan Suizhi and whispered: "You pick one first, I'll go talk to him, and I have something to ask him."
