Ning Beibei’s cousin Zhang Xiaoxian is from Ludao City next door. Their family has been engaged in the legal profession since their grandparents.
After graduating from Ludao University, she refused to return to her own law firm to work and develop, but instead resolutely turned to the second-tier city next door, Luojiang.
With everyone in the family being unfavorable, Zhang Xiaoxian found a job at a small local law firm in Luojiang.
Over the past few years, she not only obtained the title of partner, but also developed the small law firm with less than ten people at the beginning into almost the largest law firm in Luojiang, with more than fifty lawyers under her management, and will be in the law firm by the end of the year.
Ludao City opens second law firm.
The pride of her parents and the glory of her family, Zhang Xiaoxian was almost regarded as a god-like being by Ning Beibei's mother.
Every time I call Ning Beibei, I can't help but say a few words, asking her to learn from others——
Since they all work and study in the same place, such excellent relatives have to keep in touch with each other more, and Ning Beibei's ears are almost calloused.
In addition to Ning Beibei, people whose ears are about to grow calluses after hearing this are also Jian Anran.
Every time Ning Beibei's mother calls, Jian Anran has to listen to Ning Beibei complain once.
Over the past few years, Jian Anran thought that she probably knew the life success trajectory of her elite lawyer cousin from Ning Beibei in detail.
……
"Ms. Jane, right? Please sit down. I heard that you are Beibei's friend. She contacted me last Friday. If you have any requests, I will definitely help you."
Different from the large office building that we just walked through, Zhang Xiaoxian's independent office faces the Luojiang River. Behind the desk is a river view that can be said to be "the autumn water and the sky are one color". Although it is different from the sunset described in the poem, it is now
Morning glow.
Before she could express her appreciation for the wonderful view of the office building, Zhang Xiaoxian smiled and asked her to sit down very politely.
Embarrassed to look around any more, Jian Anran smoothed the hem of her coat and sat on the leather office chair facing Zhang Xiaoxian across the huge desk.
"It happened suddenly. I only remember hearing Beibei say that her cousin is a lawyer. I forgot that you are a partner..." Jian Anran said with some embarrassment.
"I have searched on the Internet and I am afraid that the fees for a lawyer like you are not something I can afford. How about you help me find an ordinary lawyer..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Anran felt her cheeks burning hot.
Without thinking much, she hurriedly asked Ning Beibei. Jian Anran even forgot about the most important aspect: financial conditions. Zhang Xiaoxian's legal fees for one hour were probably more than her month's salary.
After listening to her words, Zhang Xiaoxian slightly raised her red lips and said without changing her expression: "Ms. Jian, please don't worry about this issue. Since you are Beibei's friend, you can consult now. If you need more details later,
Follow up and I can help you recommend a more professional lawyer."
Hearing the beginning of this sentence, Jian Anran was worried.
If the other party directly said that they would not charge her money and would pay for it with favors, this would really make her sleepless.
But Zhang Xiaoxian’s words made it very clear that she can be consulted, and she probably won’t be the one to take action in the future.
His tone is very gentle and sincere, and his expression is always so calm and generous.
Jian Anran seemed to be able to understand at once how a weak woman like her had managed to reach a position that was difficult for most men to reach in the past few years.
After stating her intention for divorce, Zhang Xiaoxian folded her hands on the table without thinking too much.
"I specialize in company law, and my understanding of marriage law is not very deep." Zhang Xiaoxian said.
"But after listening to your appeal, this matter is not difficult."
"According to what you just described, this marriage only lasted for less than three months. During this period, the other party made about 2 to 3 payments, which are all your joint property after marriage."
"The other party already owns a house and two cars. These are the other party's pre-marital property. There is no dispute on this point."
"Since you plan to leave the house and don't want to compete for these incomes, the divorce agreement should not be complicated."
"Given the disparity in the other party's income, there is a high probability that the other party will not want your salary of 3,000 per month for the past two months. However, if the other party insists, you may need to give the other party half."
Almost without any thinking, Jian Anran immediately shook her head. Even if she didn't understand Wen Siheng, she still knew this very well.
"He won't want it."
"Okay." Zhang Xiaoxian nodded and said, "I understand everything here."
"Since we have negotiated with the other party before, we only need to help you issue a divorce agreement. Then you can make an appointment with the other party and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to submit it together." Zhang Xiaoxian said and pressed the button.
Check the landline phone on the desktop.
"Help me call Xiao Chen from our team to come in."
Not long after, there was a knock on the glass door of the office, and a man with glasses and a suit walked in.
"Zhang Lu, are you looking for me?" the other party asked.
"Xiao Chen, this is Ms. Jian." Zhang Xiaoxian stood up from the chair and motioned to the man with glasses to Jian Anran.
She was tall, and she didn't feel very strong when she just sat down. When Zhang Xiaoxian stood up, Jian Anran felt a kind of suppression from her height.
"This is Xiao Chen, the lawyer in charge of marriage law in our team. He will be responsible for following up with you."
As soon as Zhang Xiaoxian finished speaking, the male lawyer with glasses understood immediately, opened the door behind him and made a "please" gesture.
"Madam, please come with me."
After explaining the situation in detail to the bespectacled lawyer in the nearby reception room, Jian Anran watched as the other party took out an iPad with a keyboard.
The other party's fingers were typing rapidly on the keyboard, and Jian Anran failed to take a closer look. From a distance, she saw that the bespectacled lawyer's memo quickly filled the entire page with text.
After Jian Anran finished speaking, he immediately stood up.
"Your situation is relatively simple. We only need our law firm to make slight modifications based on the current agreement template. Please wait here for a moment and I will print out a copy."
Before leaving, he did not forget to add: "If you think of anything you need to add, you can contact me at any time."
……
I took a morning off before going out today. When Jian Anran came back with the divorce agreement, all the lights in the office were turned off. She opened the door and walked in. It was quiet inside.
Others went out to eat during lunch break and haven't come back yet.
Looking up in the direction of the small office, Jian Anran pressed the handle of the glass door without turning on the light.
The face at the desk looked a little surprised. He brushed his head and looked up at her.
"I thought..." Jian Anran pointed guiltily in the direction outside the door, "I thought you had gone out to eat too, I'm sorry..."
"You're back? Are you done with your work?" Wen Siheng's voice was probably hoarse because he hadn't spoken for a long time, and the bottle of mineral water on the table that he brought from home every morning remained motionless.
Jian Anran just remembered that she took personal leave this morning.
"Well," she nodded, "I'm done."
Taking out the folder from the canvas bag on her shoulder, Jian Anran carefully took out two documents.
After turning the position so that the text faced Wen Siheng, the two documents were gently placed on the table.
