    Chapter 111 Law Firm Cocktail Party (2)

    When Qiao was asked, he was more stunned than Gu Yan: "What do you mean? Why can't I come?"

    He turned his head to look at the brightly lit manor-style hotel, and said in confusion, "The letter from your law firm."

    Gu Yan: "A letter from the Southern Cross?"

    He does not have a strong sense of belonging to Southern Cross Law Firm, only a simple concept of cooperation. I haven't changed places for many years, and it's just because I'm friends with Secretary Adams.

    So the closer he is to people, the less he calls the Southern Cross "our place", and he calls it by his first name.

    Of course Joe knew this. He was just stunned just now, but now he changed his mind and said, "Yes, the partner surnamed Gao at Southern Cross told me. You are so surprised... The notice is different?"

    Yan Suizhi said, "I always said it was an internal reception. Interns are welcome, but it was changed temporarily?"

    Gu Yan asked, "When did you receive the letter?"

    "A few days ago," Joe said, "I thought you must have made excuses to avoid it, so I rejected Mr. Gao. I just found out last night that the two of you were here too, changed your mind, and came to surprise you in silence. Now it seems that there are only surprises and no surprises!"

    Young Master Qiao complained half-truth, and turned his head to pat Ke Jin very naturally, "Really?"

    Ke Jin's attention was a little distracted. After listening to his words, it took a long time for him to react. His black and white eyes slowly turned.

    Qiao was always very patient with him. When he met Ke Jin's gaze, he laughed and said to Gu Yan, "Look, he agrees."

    Gu Yan looked helpless.

    "Who else do you know?" he asked again.

    "I heard the news that your partner is celebrating his birthday soon, and decided to be lively. Of course, I think his main purpose is to expand the network of several consortium families. So... Manson, There's bound to be Buddow, Cliff, and stuff like that, oh, and free-spirited ones like me."

    Qiao listed a few in general, and then said, "It seems that the notifications inside and outside are different. No wonder, I just said how could you possibly attend this kind of party, I feel bored."

    The news of the two parties is a line, whether it is Yan Suizhi, Gu Yan, or Qiao, there is a lack of interest.

    "I hate being cheated," said Joe. "Or just don't go in there and let's"

    Before he finished speaking, several people came out of the hotel and greeted him with smiling faces.

    They were all Southern Cross partners and business officers, and Adams was also inside, squeezing his eyes at Gu Yan several times.

    In this way, can't run if want to.

    Young Master Qiao didn't shy away, hehehe smiled with a face on the grave, and was welcomed into the hotel with Yan Suizhi and the others.

    There are two mountain-like twin buildings in the front and rear of the hotel, with a huge glass garden in the middle, and the reception is in the arranged garden.

    One of Yan Sui walked in and saw the trembling interns, huddled in front of an inconspicuous dining table in the corner, like a nest of quails.

    "Ruan—" When Locke saw Yan Sui, he looked like he had seen a savior, but he didn't dare to raise his voice because of the scene, so he could only wave frantically, "Ruan—this way—"

    They are more interesting than others.

    So Yan Suizhi raised his hand to signal, and walked towards them.

    Gu Yan glanced at the main venue and followed.

    Then Master Qiao and Ke Jin...

    Locke didn't expect himself to be so powerful. He recruited four people, and suddenly turned his head, secretly patted his mouth slap, "Let you scream ..."

    The relationship between these intern and Yan Sui has always been very good, but when he saw Gu Yan, he was like a mouse to see a cat, not to mention that Joe was a stranger at the level of Jinzhu's father.

    "Good luck, these two?"

    The interns' eyes were pitiful, and everyone couldn't bear it.

    Yan Suizhi turned to look at Gu Yan, Gu Yan turned his head calmly, and Qiao looked innocent.

    "Forget it, let me introduce you-" Yan Suizhi couldn't hold back and laughed.

    But as soon as he was about to introduce it, Master Qiao was robbed himself, "Joe, the senior you grow up for several sessions. Are you all from the University of Metz?"

    He has always introduced himself only nominations or surnames. He may emphasize his individual than the family behind him.

    Locke nodded quickly, "Yes, all."

    This self -introduction directly skipped other identities. It only said that it was the senior, which relaxed a few interns.

    "Oh." Qiao said, "I am at the same level as you and you, but you have to be a few years old at a young age. Strictly speaking, lawyers Gu Gu want to call my brother. If you shout, look at it yourself."

    Gu Yan: "..."

    intern:"……"

    Yan Suizhi was surprised. He relying on everyone's not paying attention, his drooping hand tickled Yan Yan's fingers, "Qiao Juran is older than you?"

    He always thought that the two were the same age, and even felt that Gu Yan would be older because of personality reasons.

    Lawyer Gu Da is very useful for this small movement.

    However, he hasn't answered anything. Master Qiao himself has heard the keywords, and his ears responded very sharply: "Yes, don't you know? I have a bigger than him, but I have left a few levels. It's. "

    He was particularly calm in this kind of thing, and instantly made the intern feel kind.

    "Are you also from a law school?" Flyda was curious. After all, the law school never heard of this student.

    "Do you think me looks like?"

    "Uh……"

    "I think your dean should not allow the law school to have a student like me." Master Qiao said straightforwardly, "I am not abused."

    "..."

    There are some hammers that have such the ability. In a word, they can make all the shots at the scene. From intern to Gu Yan to Yan Sui himself, they are all spared.

    Master Qiao saw their difficult expression, and suddenly laughed, "Well, don't tease you. Let's talk about it.

    He said that he refers to Ke Jin, and his voice was gentle. "This is the principal of your law school.

    The psychologist who is responsible for treating Ke Jin has told the psychiatrist that don't treat him too much.

    But in daily life, it is difficult to do this. Whether it is a classmate or a friend, he always takes care of him as a special person. Only Joe has been working hard.

    As a student of the law school, have heard of Ke Jin, so Locke is very interesting, politely called the senior, and did not ask much.

    "How long have you been here?" Yan Suizhi looked at the Garden and asked Locke.

    "It's been a while."

    Flyda didn't hold back, and quietly said, "Isn't it only the people in our place? Is it that I understand that there is a problem or something, and how to do such a big scene. The people in it are exposed in all kinds of reports."

    "I asked quietly just now, not just these." Anna said, "There will be a wave of tomorrow."

    The garden is brightly lit, with sofas and dining tables, and various entertainment facilities. It is actually no different from the indoor. But the roof is all glass, and you can see the starry sky when you look up.

    "If you ignore the humming false polite words, the environment is still very good." Qiao said, "I think this corner is good, we can sit here and drink, mind the girls guys?"

    I liked him very much, shook his head quickly, and said with a smile, "Don't mind or not."

    But obviously, this wish is not so easy to achieve.

    Even if they ignore those guests, those guests will not let them go.

    Some are from politeness, and some are about to settle.

    In short, they have not been quiet in this corner, and those who say hello to the glass are endless.

    The intern is very desperate.

    Among them, some of them are curious about Yan Sui.

    "What about the famous intern?"

    "I heard it."

    "Yes, the case of the Mansen family."

    Native

    This can almost summarize a set of standard opening remarks.

    Gu Yan and Qiao always greeted the people first, one was not cold or hot, and the other was a hanging.

    Two people can block most of the wine. Persist in staying with a few words, and always run into the wall in Yan Suizhi.

    The basic process is probably like this

    "Oh, you are the intern?"

    Yan Sui pretend to be stupid: "Who?"

    "Isn't it you?

    Yan Suizhi: "I didn't pick it up."

    "Mistaken?"

    "The Legal Aid Committee was randomly distributed."

    "..."

    "I heard your performance in court, it is worthy of praise."

    Yan Suizhi: "Then you may need to boast my teacher, which is basically his remote guidance."

    "It is a good thing for young people to be humble, but they don't need to be so modest. An intern can argue the case so beautifully, and it is not just a teacher."

    Yan Suizhi: "Yes, it depends on modern communication."

    "..."

    "At least you did a great job in court and were said to be very calm."

    Yan Suizhi: "It's alright, but my legs are shaking all the time. Thank you for the design of the defense bench in the court, which perfectly blocks the lower body."

    "..."

    "I was fortunate enough to be in the gallery, and the defense was great, and it's pretty amazing that an intern could do that."

    Yan Suizhi: "Then there's no need to be surprised, it wasn't the point of defense I was looking for."

    As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Gu Yan seriously, "Teacher, this gentleman is complimenting you."

    "..."

    This man remembered that he was still wearing the skin of an intern, and his speaking style and words were different from when he was the dean.

    But it didn't make the guests happy.

    While passing away, he also silently wrote down these people who were curious about him in his heart.

    "My mother." Locke counted his fingers, "Who are you just now, some of our big partners, and Mr. Qin, the giant in smart metal? Cliff, the alliance uses it. 1/3 of the shuttle is his family, right? But he seems to be more inclined to freight? And that Mr. Badu, his family... what does his family do?"

    "Let's get medicine." Phyllida said, "Anyway, there are all kinds of monsters."

    Connecting with various industries is one of the things that alliance law firms are keen to do today.

    Therefore, such a reception is understandable, but the interns can't cope with this kind of scene.

    But it didn't take long for their respective teachers to come and lead them to let the big guys recognize familiar faces one by one. In the end even old-fashioned Hobbes came.

    After tossing around in the hospital for several days, he finally got rid of the suspicion of infection, and took another day off at home. This is the first time he has appeared in front of everyone.

    "You..." When Hobbs saw Gu Yan, his eyes became very complicated, "You actually took over the case of Shaoxing Weng."

    He couldn't tell if his tone was more surprised or more mocking. How to put it, it's a bit like the senior is watching a junior who doesn't play cards according to the routine.

    "Find me and I'll pick it up." Gu Yan's answer was very flat.

    Hobbs glanced at Adams, who was drinking with someone not far away, "I'm even more surprised that your affairs officer agreed."

    Gu Yan said: "Indeed."

    Hobbs was not keen on chatting, and there was nothing to chat with Gu Yan. After listening, he squinted his eagle eyes and said, "I really can't understand what you young people think."

    His eyes swept across Yan Suizhi, stopped for a moment, and then said to Locke, "Go, why come to the reception when you stay in the corner?"

    Locke scratched his head embarrassingly, greeted Yan Suizhi and the others, and followed Hobbs away.

    They quickly gathered around the partner surnamed Gao, and then chatted with Cliff and Badu, as if they had become a faction in just a few minutes.

    "That old man still has time to laugh." Yan Suizhi looked at Hobbs over there and sighed.

    Joe said, "He just smiled at me just now."

    This is actually quite normal. After all, these people's right to speak is not comparable to that of ordinary people. When they get along well, there is always someone who can talk. Few people would struggle with their future, including shrewd old-fashioned Hobbes.

    But it didn't take long for the gathering place to be scattered

    Someone was late.

    There were a group of people who came, and there were a dozen of more than ten, but most of them stopped at the gate of the garden, like a guards who were loyal, and stood with the securityists outside the door.

    There are only three people who really enter the garden, two of them are a pair of brothers. The facial features are a bit similar, but the temperament is the opposite. The older one kept short hair. When looking at people, his eyes were always swept away, with a sense of arrogance.

    Coincidentally, not a long time before, Yan Sui also played with him, just in the court of Tianqin Star.

    He is the eldest son of the Mansen family, Brian Manson.

    The waiter welcomed the tray, and Bruch Manson didn't look at it, and took a glass of wine from it. The ring on the index finger shakes a piece of light under the light reflection. The ring is three black diamonds and a huge K on the ring, revealing the wealth of publicity.

    The half -step behind him was Miro Mansen of the Mansen family. His hair was longer than his brother, and he meticulously combed behind his head. He slipped down on one side, with his eyes, and seeing anyone showing a joke. When he entered the door, he picked a glass of wine, and he raised his eyebrows for a few sips before he greets people. He also had the same jewelry as Bruch. Three black diamonds were holding a huge K, but it was not a ring, but a earrings, nailed to his right ear, showing the anger ...

    The remaining person is the assistant of the two.

    "By the way, how is George Manson?"

    Compared with these two, the young master of the Manson family is really ... just a little master. Yan Suizhi didn't see his figure, so he asked Qiao.

    "A few days should be discharged from the hospital." Qiao said.

    "Haven't recovered yet?"

    "Actually, it returned a few days ago, but he kept talking about it." Qiao leaned his lips and drank a sip of wine silently.

    There was no wind sound outside, but the news that Joe learned from the inside yesterday morning, Zhao Zhemu should be the person who started with Master Manson, and would not be wrong.

    After learning the news, he went to Manson's ward and wanted to inform the results. But for a long time, didn't enter the topic for a long time.

    In the end, Manson suddenly looked back from the window and said, "You haven't been so grinding before."

    For so many days, Master Mason took the initiative to speak for the first time. He was either in a daze or sleeping before.

    Qiao snorted, and silently said, "It's Zhao Chuxing."

    After listening, Manson heard that the expression on his face did not change at all, and it was not exposed. He just put his sight out of the window again, and then said, "Um ... I know."

    "Do you know?" Qiao was a little surprised at the time.

    But after that, Manson did not speak again.

    "I was right later, maybe he was paralyzed in the bathtub that day, and he didn't really get dizzy." Qiao whispered.

    He suddenly realized why Manson had been so embarrassed since he woke up, as if he had a sense of abandonment. It may be because he knows who did.

    "But why? I have never figured out."

    "What do Zhao Ximu say?" Gu Yan asked.

    Qiao said: "The police side, his speech was because of the years when Manson compared the accounts. Some of the things he did made him feel humiliated, as if the Zhao family only paired with Manson's shoes. In addition, the cooperation between the Zhao family and the Mansen family some time ago has become a problem, and it has almost become an abandoned son. He is a bit unwilling. He wants to do something to re -attract the attention of the two eldest sons of the Manson family, such as clearing obstacles ... This kind of obstacles ... Whoever loves the letter and who believes it, I don't believe it anyway. "

    He thought about glanced towards Bruch Manson, and said, "His speech made Brool and Miro also come to a police station for a day trip, but it was just a day trip. What happened. "

    The Manson brothers entered the door very difficult.

    Because they just stood, most of the people in the reception gathered around.

    After a round of politeness, the wine glasses that just arrived were empty.

    "Anyway, let me sit down first." Bruch Manson joked with a few of them. "Do you plan to knock me down at the door?"

    They laughed and walked towards a sofa. After the crowd dispersed, Bruch Manson's eyes swept to the corner of Yan Suizhi's chat.

    Miro Manson followed, and the teasing eyes stopped for a while on Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan, and finally fell on Qiao.

    He greeted Bruch Manson and walked over with his pocket. Brull Manson frowned behind him, but did not stop it. He just rushed to Yan Yan and nodded his head, and walked away under the crowd.

    Miro Manson raised the toast and "see who I saw! How can you come?"

    Qiao also raised his toasting, but did not take a sip, and asked for it for granted, "Why don't I come here?"

    "Oh -I thought you would have an occasion with your father, you will never appear."

    "Is he now? You find me and see?" Qiao said unhappy.

    He and Bruch Manson were able to pretend to be polite, and he didn't give this good face at all.

    "Are you there? Should I be here tomorrow."

    Miro Manson swept a lap for a while, and he spoke a little dragging, and it was not so comfortable to listen to it.

    Joe rolled his eyes.

    "Young talent, lawyer Gu?" Miro Manson no longer teased Joe. He touched Gu Yan's cup and turned to Yan Suizhi, narrowing his eyes, "This must be the intern of lawyer Gu It's. "

    He was holding a wine glass, and his little finger rushed Yan Suizhi, and he regretted: "I listened to Brull and said that your performance in the court that day was impressive. Dating, otherwise you won't miss it. "

    This is nothing to say. At the beginning of the trial, his brother George Manson was still living and dying in the hospital, and he had to rush to date.

    The last thing it was, he said nothing in this way.

    The news reports were written in the news reports, "Two elder brothers have a good face, serious expression" and the like, and I don't know which blindly see it.

    Yan Sui had not had a lot of contact with this person before, but he could feel it in just a few words. He was more arrogant than his brother Bruch Manson and didn't know much about convergence.

    "As compensation, I want to have a cup with you." Miro Manson said, "What about your cup?"

    Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows and just wanted to say something, and felt a glass of glass in his hand.

    He looked down, a glass of milk.

    "..."

    One of Yan Sui's face calmly stabilized.

    Miro Manson laughed at angr: "... what does Mr. Gu mean?"

    Before Gu Yan opened, Yan Suizhi said with a smile: "I changed my stomach three times because I was drinking alcohol with alcoholic ulcers in my stomach. I really dare not drink. Of course, if Mr. Manson insisted, I can also explain the fourth stomach. "

    It sounded a little panicked.

    "..."

    Miro Manson accidentally imagined it, and looked at the wine in his hand a little bit appetizing.

    "That's it." He looked at Yan Suizhi's milk cup perfunctoryly, and turned his head and left.

    Asking the angry Manson to leave, one of Yan Sui turned his head and saw that Qiao's face was also green. He looked at him and asked, "Have you had three stomachs?"

    Yan Suizhi: "Do you believe this?"

    Joe: "...you have a very sincere tone."

    Yan Suizhi's tone became more sincere: "I died once."

    Joe: "..."

    The eldest young master looked at Gu Yan with dissatisfaction, "Your intern treats me as a fool, do you care?"

    Gu Yan calmly took a sip of wine, "I'll take care of it later."

    Joe: "..."

    After all, everyone hadn't arrived yet, and the main event was the next day, and the passengers were exhausted by boats and cars, and the night did not last long.

    The law firm arranged rooms for everyone in the hotel, from Manson to the interns. However, there are still differences in treatment. The guests of Manson are on the first floor, and each floor has a separate combination lock and housekeeper. The barristers in the firm are also top-level suites. The interns live in the front building, two people in a suite.

    I don't know in what order, but in a word, it went to Yan Suizhi's place, and he just came out, and he lived alone.

    Gu Yan frowned when he heard the room arrangement.

    Young Master Qiao is actually a very careful person. He noticed this and found Yan Suizhi who was alone. In fact, he didn't think about it that much, but just based on "a friend's intern is my intern", he simply circled Gu Yan and Yan Suizhi to his own level.

    "This whole floor is just me and Ke Jin. How boring." Qiao said.

    This kind of housekeeper on the first floor is a bit like a whole house. Entering the password door is the living room, dining room, small swimming pool and activity area, which lead to several suite-type bedrooms.

    Joe arranged Ke Jin in one of the rooms, and he lived in the other room that was most convenient to take care of him.

    "It's troublesome to take care of like this, why don't you just live in a room?" Yan Suizhi wondered beside him.

    Gu Yan said in a low voice, "In the beginning, I lived in one room for convenience. Later, someone wrote a report, which is not good for Ke Jin."

    Yan Suizhi understood, "However, why haven't I seen any reports?"

    "I was pressed down by Qiao, but he has been paying attention since then." Gu Yan glanced at the layout of the hotel on this floor, "It is quite private here, but he has developed a habit, and it is the same in his own home. ."

    "What are you mumbling about?" Qiao came over and said, "You can pick two rooms. By the way, Gu, are you in a hurry to sleep? If you are not in a hurry, accompany me for two drinks."

    They didn't have much interest in the drinking party just now, but they didn't drink much. The outsiders were gone now, and Joe seemed to be worried.

    Gu Yan patted Yan Suizhi and said in a low voice, "Choose one first, I'll chat with him, and I just have something to ask him."
