Grassroots lawyers also have their day

Pan Jinlian was, after all, a girl, and she was easily embarrassed. After hearing this, she basically knew what was going on, and her face turned red instantly.

It can only be blamed on the lack of education in this area in China, forcing young men and women to resort to the internet to frantically catch up on knowledge.

Back in college, Pan Jinlian had a boyfriend, but they broke up after graduation and went their separate ways. What happens during a relationship is something everyone knows.

Compared to her, Wang Chuan, the senior apprentice, was far inferior. He dated his girlfriend for three years without ever achieving any deep intimacy; at most, they'd hold hands and share a passionate kiss. In the end, his girlfriend went south to work and, I heard, is now with a wealthy boss. Of course, he's watched various adult films and is self-sufficient.

"Hey, you guys are having a blast! You've got wax and whips, did you even buy the uniforms?" Fatty Wan chuckled inwardly, jokingly.

"That's right! I bought them all, but I didn't have time to use them. That bastard came up and started eating them without even telling me..." The woman with a bandage wrapped around her head suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly stopped talking.

"Who bought all these things? Was it the other party?" Fatty Wan asked.

"No, I bought it from a guy selling sex toys in a QQ group," said the woman with a bandage wrapped around her head.

Fearing that continuing the conversation would make Pan Jinlian feel awkward, Wang Chuan said, "Assistant Pan, could you please add some water for this lady? The water in her glass is getting cold."

Pan Jinlian immediately understood Wang Chuan's meaning, nodded, picked up the paper cup in front of the customer opposite her, and walked out.

"Attorney Wan, don't misunderstand, I really didn't sell myself, it was just a moment... that bastard even took more than two thousand from my bag before he left," the woman with a bandage wrapped around her head said indignantly.

"Yes, I understand. But if this case goes through an infringement lawsuit, the judge will definitely ask what happened. Do you have the other party's information?" Fatty Wan asked.

"Yes, I took a picture of his ID card while he was taking a shower." The woman with a bandage wrapped around her head said, taking out her phone, opening it, and handing it to Fatty Wan.

"Yes, that makes things easier. But I still suggest you call the police. Based on your current injuries, it might constitute minor injury. If the police determine it to be minor injury, then things will be much easier," said Fatty Wan.

"What does a minor injury look like? Why don't you take a look and see if it qualifies as a minor injury!" With that, the woman with gauze wrapped around her head got up and was about to take off her clothes again so that Fatty Wan could examine her injuries.

Fatty Wan quickly stood up and stopped her: "There's no need for a medical examination. I'm not a police officer. Go to the police station first and report the other party for intentional injury. If the police file a case, the public security, procuratorate, and court will uphold justice for you. If they don't file a case, come back to me, and we'll go through civil proceedings and demand compensation from the other party."

If Fatty Wan hadn't stopped the customer, Wang Chuan would have stood up and stopped her too.

Good heavens! In broad daylight, in a law firm conference room, in front of two grown men, she's being asked to take off her clothes for a medical examination? That's just too much!

Even if Fatty Wan had the guts to do that, he wouldn't dare do it in a law firm. Unless the firm is his own, he'd better put an extra lock on the door.

Ten minutes before midnight, a woman with a bandage wrapped around her head and wearing large sunglasses walked out of the conference room. Wang Chuan and Fatty Wan escorted her to the elevator.

As soon as Wang Chuan sat down, Pan Jinlian came over with a bottle of alcohol gel: "Here, use this to wipe your hands."

Then she turned to Fatty Wan and said, "Lawyer Wan, you should have some too, just in case."

"Ah!? Okay." Fatty Wan couldn't refuse Pan Meimei's kindness, so he also put some on his hands and immediately smelled alcohol: "Little Pan, what's this?"

Fatty Wan isn't a doctor, so he's not that particular. In his daily life, besides soap, he mostly uses Dabao (a popular Chinese skincare brand). He's never used alcohol gel!

Wang Chuan had seen Pan Jinlian use it before at the legal services office, so he knew what the thing in her hand was.

"Attorney Wan, this is alcohol gel, it's used in hospitals for disinfection, doctors use it all the time!" Pan Jinlian smiled and said, "Those of us in this line of work come into contact with a lot of people, you never know what kind of people you might run into, it's better to be careful."

Fatty Wan immediately understood what she meant, and nodded with a smile to express his gratitude.

"Senior Brother, did you charge a consultation fee?" Wei Ping, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, asked.

"I've taken it. I've received five hundred yuan in cash," Wang Chuan said. "I originally wanted to take a thousand. Sigh! She's had a tough time; she was scammed out of a lot of money, and she had to pay for her own medical treatment."

"She had it tough? Didn't she 'enjoy' it? It was a willing buyer and a willing seller, it's just that this time she went too far!" Pan Jinlian said dismissively, then added with a grin, "Senior Brother, aren't you being a little too chivalrous?"

Fatty Wan picked up his large teacup, but before he could even swallow a mouthful of tea, he couldn't help but spit it out with a "pfft" after hearing what Pan Jinlian said.

Wei Ping hid to the side and giggled.

"Um...where should we have lunch today?" Wang Chuan felt awkward and quickly changed the subject: "Wei Ping, you pick the place today!"

"Senior Brother, you're joking! Don't we have a 'fixed' location? A small restaurant a kilometer away. We don't have a choice!" Wei Ping chuckled. "You make it sound so real."

"Ah! Okay."

How embarrassing!

Wang Chuan suddenly missed Zheng Penzi. If she were still here, she could keep Pan Jinlian in check. Now that she and her tool Hao Renyuan have gone to the legal services office, it seems that Pan Jinlian has no natural enemies for the time being and can do whatever she wants!

After lunch, Wang Chuan and his colleagues returned to the law firm to rest. A short while later, their QQ avatars started flashing.

Wei Ping: Senior Brother, the holiday is just a few days away. What are your plans for May Day?

Wang Chuan: I've already arranged with Sixth Brother to go to the bar and keep an eye on things. One of the singers has taken leave to go home.

Wei Ping: I probably won't go out either, it'll be crowded everywhere. I'll come find you at a bar later, okay?

Wang Chuan: Okay, no problem. I'll treat you to dinner.

At that time, the May Day holiday was seven days long. Since 2008, the May Day holiday has been changed from "seven days of fun" to "three days of fun", and it has remained unchanged since then.

Everyone in China knows that during holidays, domestic tourist attractions are packed with people, and even overseas tourist attractions become lively.

Therefore, many office workers choose to rest at home, or at most go hiking in the wild mountains of Mentougou in the west.

Wang Chuan had originally planned to go back to his hometown for the May Day holiday, but the bar happened to be short of a resident singer, and Brother Liu offered to double the pay and provide dinner. Wang Chuan thought that he could have food and drink and earn more money, so he stayed.
