Although Deng Shangwei and Wen Dongrong are brothers-in-law, they have not had much contact with each other over the years.
The two people's life trajectories are completely different. They work in a mixed system, and the other started as a small businessman. Deng Shangwei is not arrogant when he has money, but Wen Dongrong has always been putting on airs and cannot let go.
The two sisters Chen Ru and Chen Li have a close relationship, and the two brothers-in-law Wen Dongrong and Deng Shangwei are face-saving friends.
As Wen Ying went to study in Chengdu, Chen Ru transferred her job, and Wen Ying's family bought and renovated a house in Chengdu, the contacts between Deng Shangwei and Wen Dongrong gradually increased.
After Wen Ying's family bought two apartments, they needed to renovate them. The Wen family's finances were a little tight. Wen Dongrong turned in all his salary and bonuses, and even quit smoking in order to save money... Based on this, Deng Shangwei felt that Wen Dongrong was
Although he likes to be official and show off, he is still a good man who loves his family and is responsible.
Regarding large expenditures such as buying a house and decorating a house, whether or not to quit smoking actually has little impact, but many men cannot do it. If their wives make such a request, they will plausibly say that they only have this hobby. Barabala said a lot
Reason to refute my wife.
Hobby?
I don’t even care about life, so I still have the nerve to talk about my hobbies.
The economic impact of Wen Dongrong's smoking cessation is not great. What is more important is the attitude expressed by this move: Facing the family's temporary financial difficulties, Wen Dongrong did not deduct the expenses of his wife and daughter. He chose to quit smoking first, and he could save whatever he could.
!
Moreover, Wen Dongrong is certainly a fan of officials and likes to put on airs. The investigation team did not find out that Wen Dongrong had any financial problems after being reported by his real name last time, which shows that Wen Dongrong has a strong moral code at work.
There is no loss in great virtue, so there is no need to hold on to small details. Deng Shangwei knows that no one is perfect, and he himself is not a moral model, so naturally he will not be lenient to himself and strict to others.
However, Wen Dongrong's behavior today still makes Deng Shangwei a little confused.
First, he lied on the phone that Deng Shangwei had already known about Wen Ying's publication of the novel, and then he asked Deng Shangwei to meet. He did not blame Deng Shangwei, but wanted to treat him first.
Deng Shangwei repeatedly said that he should pay for this meal, and Wen Dongrong acted like a brother-in-law to prevent Deng Shangwei from spending money.
When ordering, Wen Dongrong was not merciless at all, as if the person paying the bill was not Wen himself, but someone who needed to be slaughtered.
Deng Shangwei, the person being treated, was uneasy.
"Brother-in-law, that's enough, that's enough. If you order more, I won't be able to finish it."
With such sincere persuasion, Wen Dongrong stopped.
In 2005, consumption in Chengdu was not high. Except for business needs, Deng Shangwei, a man with a net worth of tens of millions, would not usually order food like this. How could Deng Shangwei not be afraid when Wen Dongrong set the lunch standard so high?
I heard that all leaders are evil-minded and hide their knives in their smiles. Deng Shangwei suspected that this meal was his decapitation meal before his execution. Even though he was rich now, after he had eaten and drank enough, he would be escorted by Wen Dongrong to be beheaded in front of Chen Ru...
...Oh, I’m scared just thinking about it. As soon as the food came, Deng Shangwei hurriedly ate it to calm down his shock.
Little did he know that Wen Dongrong also felt that this was a life-long meal. After handing over his salary and bonus, Wen Dongrong never spent money as happily as he did today.
Deng Shangwei eats food to calm down his shock, while Wen Dongrong consumes purely in revenge.
Anyway, he will be miserable if he doesn’t spend the money, so he might as well spend the money!
After Feng Zhuan Can Yun cleared the air, Wen Dongrong was eighty percent full. He put down his chopsticks and asked Deng Shangwei: "Tell me, how can I talk to Wen Ying's mother about this? Wen Ying has big ideas, and we as parents can't control it.
, you, an uncle, are still hiding it for her. If the other party’s lawyer hadn’t gone to the workplace to find me today, I don’t know how long I would have been kept hidden!”
——Then it should be hidden until Wen Ying is admitted to college.
It was Deng Shangwei who came up with this bad idea for Wen Ying. Wen Dongrong held him accountable, but Deng Shangwei accepted it honestly without refuting.
Hey, in fact, if "Eige" and the editor-in-chief Han didn't insist on labeling Wen Ying as a bad character, causing Wen Ying to file a lawsuit to clear her name, Wen Ying's secret would have been hidden until she passed the exam.
The chances of going to college are very high.
Deng Shangwei could understand Wen Dongrong's mood at the moment, but he was a little worried: "Brother-in-law, why did the other party's lawyer come to the unit to find you?"
"What else can you do? Let me persuade Wen Ying to withdraw the lawsuit and settle the matter."
Deng Shangwei couldn't figure it out, "The lawsuit between Wen Ying and the other party is about to win. Why does the other party think that you will agree to withdraw the lawsuit and settle it?"
Wen Dongrong still felt unhappy when he remembered the meeting with Lawyer Du.
Mr. Du is a handsome man, his suit is ironed without wrinkles, and the briefcase he is carrying looks very expensive. His outfit may be worth several months of Wen Dongrong's salary, plus the bluffing title on his business card,
He must be a very profitable lawyer.
——Is that why you are so confident that you can definitely convince him to agree to withdraw the lawsuit and settle the matter?
Pooh!
Wen Dongrong hates others making decisions for him, and he also hates others speculating and analyzing his psychology. Lawyer Du ruined his base because of his own cleverness.
Wen Dongrong waved his hand: "You don't care what the fool thinks. Let the fool jump off his pants. If we insist that we don't reconcile, the fool will be angry to death. The key to the problem now is not him."
Yes, as long as Wen Ying doesn't want to reconcile and her family doesn't force her to reconcile, it's useless for the other party's lawyer to jump up and down.
The key to the problem now is that Chen Ru wants to know... Deng Shangwei's scalp is numb.
Wen Dongrong treated him so generously, did he just ask him to take the initiative to surrender in front of Chen Ru?
This day actually came earlier than Deng Shangwei expected.
For the sake of Wen Ying's relationship with her parents, Deng Shangwei gritted his teeth and said, "Brother-in-law, let me go and say——"
Wen Dongrong held him down and said, "Why are you so anxious? I must say it, but no matter how I say it, we have to have a good conversation. I am the one who pushed you to block the muzzle with such a vicious heart!"
--Is not it?
Deng Shangwei was really touched now.
It turns out that a man’s responsibility is not only reflected in caring for his family and striving for his career, but also in details like this!
The two discussed countermeasures for a long time, waiting for Wen Ying to cooperate.
Finally, Deng Shangwei got through Wen Ying's phone.
Her vest was ripped off, Wen Ying was a little panicked, but more angry.
Withdrawal of lawsuit and settlement?
It's impossible.
This lawsuit must be fought to the end.
Now even if the Chengdu Publishing Group compromises and agrees to a settlement for the sake of interests, Wen Ying herself does not agree.
"Uncle, what's the name of that lawyer?"
"My surname is Du, what is my name...Brother-in-law, please tell me."
Wen Dongrong took the phone and said, "Call Du Li!"
Wen Ying felt a sense of fate that "it will be so".
Ever since she met Zheng Zhihe in advance and saw her mentor in court, Wen Ying knew that those people she was familiar with in her previous life would eventually come back to her life.
Who is Du Li?
He is an arrogant person.
This person has many characteristics that deviate from ordinary lawyers, but he entered the profession early and has won many classic cases. He is also a famous barrister in the Southwest!
More importantly, since Du Li became famous, he has been at odds with Wen Ying's mentor. Even though Du Li's reputation in the industry has surpassed Wen Ying's mentor, this situation has not changed, so that Wen Ying asked him countless times
Zheng Zhihe: Did the teacher ever dig up the ancestral graves of the Du family?
