Gu Jia was no longer entangled. Since it had already happened and the two sisters had accepted her, she let it go, so she nodded and continued:

"Actually, this is quite simple. We've already experienced failure, and having someone care about us is better than anything else. Although we don't have the advantage of youth, we are much more sensible than them!"

Hearing Gu Jia's words, Zhong Xiaoqin looked at her in disbelief, her eyes wide open, and said, "Gu Gu, we have known each other for so many years, and I only discovered today that you are such a person. The contrast is too big!"

"I just came to terms with it. I've been someone else's wife, someone else's daughter, someone else's mother for too long. From now on, I want to live for myself.

Have you ever thought about the fact that your loved ones, relatives, friends, and even your children may leave you one day? So be brave and live for yourself. Cherish the happiness you have now, because a better life is waiting for you.

After saying that, looking at her two best friends who were lost in thought, Gu Jia smiled and picked up her phone. She took a beautiful photo of herself and the two of them together, then sent it to Han Tao while saying to them:

"I have something even more contradictory. Since we are already an offensive and defensive alliance, I must strive to provide you with benefits. He hasn't paid the public grain he should have paid this time, so we can't let others take advantage of him."

"Gu Gu, you wouldn't really..."

"Yes, that's what I thought. Time waits for no one. I have to do it when I think of it..."

"I agree with what Gu Jia said. We can't let others get away with it. I'm still thinking about having a child. It will also give him less time to mess around outside!"

"You two have no shame..."

...........................

At the same time, Han Tao, who walked out of the Park Hyatt Hotel and was rushing to the law firm, looked at the city streets outside the car window through the glass.

The morning in Shanghai is the hope of every dreamer, so every frame of it is a different picture in the eyes of different people. The only thing that is the same is that everyone strives with infinite energy.

At this time, Han Tao was not calm in his heart. He was frowning and thinking about a problem. Suddenly he received a message from Gu Jia. When he opened it and saw the photo of three of them, he couldn't help but smile.

It’s the experienced sisters who know how to play and how to capture a man’s heart. On the spotless white sheets, three women are lying on them with their clothes disheveled, which is really very tempting.

Another message followed the photo: "Han Tao, I've talked it out with Manni and Xiaoqin. They accept my existence and don't blame you.

But I still want you to come over so we can plan our future together. If you have time in the evening, the three of us will wait for you at home."

"Gu Jia, I can't tonight. I'll go back the day after tomorrow. There are too many things to deal with in the next two days. I'll go back when I'm done!"

After replying a message to Gu Jia, Han Tao put down his phone. He hadn't spent two days with Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo since he came back this time, and Guan Juer also called him to make an appointment. He could only reluctantly decline the invitation.

Of course, the reason for this arrangement is also to let the three of them calm down. After all, only after calming down can they truly see their true thoughts.

Chapter 676 Lin Rui and He Fanxing

After responding to the confidence of Gu Jia and others, Han Tao's car was parked downstairs of Mingtang Law Firm. Lina, who had not waited for him in person for a long time, was waiting with two girls. One of them was Han Tao's apprentice He Xingyun, and she was holding a folder in her hand.

He Xingyun's case has been almost concluded in the past two days. The evidence is conclusive and Wan Chuanjia has been sent to prison. As for Wan Shantang, the god of Wanjia Village, he has been imprisoned without any suspense. Of course, the specific conviction will take some time.

However, during the evidence collection period, the fact that Wan Shantang's son Wan Chuanjia and daughter Wan Chuanmei had colluded to replace Wang Xiuyu to go to college was also exposed. It can be said that the Wan family was finally complete.

So after being treated by a psychologist, He Xingyun has returned to his previous state. This time, he brought his sister He Xingfu and his mother to the Magic City. Today is his first day back to work after taking leave.

Mingtang Law Firm has undergone significant changes recently. Wendy has been perfecting the work assigned by Han Tao and has pushed Mingtang to the top of the Magic City law firms as quickly as possible. The influence of the Lianchuang case, in particular, not only won Mingtang the top spot among the Magic City law firms, but also completely expanded Mingtang to become one of the top law firms in the country.

Seeing Han Tao coming in, Li Na, He Xingyun, and a girl Han Tao had never seen before went to greet him. Before he could ask, Li Na spoke first:

"I'm sorry, Boss, you have to find another administrative secretary. Shi Yi has some special reasons, and she studied broadcasting and hosting, so Wendy agreed to her application and went to Brilliant Film and Television.

And he also set up his own work firm, so I changed one for you. Fortunately, I had General Zheng and General Lin do the preparatory work beforehand and specially reserved two suitable talents. Here is the information, please take a look. "

As she spoke, Lina took the information from He Xingyun's hand and handed it to Han Tao with a smile.

"Okay, I know about Shi Yi's departure. Thank you, Li Na, for your hard work!"

Han Tao nodded. Wendy had discussed Shi Yi's transfer with him, so the selection of the new administrative secretary was given to Lina. After all, she was the executive director of Mingtang.

I have to say that Lina's efficiency is indeed beyond reproach. Most importantly, she is very forward-looking and has strong observation and analytical abilities.

Moreover, she knew Han Tao very well. She could even tell what he wanted to do just by looking at him. She had strong observation and analytical abilities.

"It's not hard. You've been on business trips all this time, that's what's really hard!"

Lina smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to block the elevator door, and accompanied him into the elevator while introducing the cool-looking girl behind her to Han Tao:

"I've found two secretaries and a new assistant for you. Her name is Lin Rui. She used to be a sales manager at a foreign company. She has strong stress tolerance and management planning skills, a strong sense of direction and goals, and good leadership skills. She will be responsible for external affairs in the future.

There's also someone named He Fanxing, who used to be the administrative director at Longi. He's good at making trade-offs, understands the overall situation, is flexible, and considers things more comprehensively. I asked Mr. Yang to bring him over to take charge of the internal affairs."

Han Tao glanced at the information on the file, then turned to look at the girl behind Lina. She was wearing a black shirt, a caramel-colored suit, and caramel-colored trousers, exuding a capable, dignified and elite temperament.

According to due diligence on the materials, Lin Rui's character strengths are self-confidence, positivity, courage to act and take responsibility. He is also generous, loyal, dares to love and hate, dares to take risks and fight hard. He is decisive and has strong ability to withstand pressure.

However, Han Tao knew very well that the character flaws of this kind of person were strong desire for control, arrogance, and self-centeredness. Most people could not control them, unless they were capable people, because this kind of person was more attracted to the strong.

Especially from her family investigation, it can be analyzed that under Lin Rui's strong appearance, she has a very fragile heart. She longs for protection and maternal love, and she probably has no idea about love.

However, these are not important to Han Tao. As long as he has the ability to work, it's fine. What he lacks now is a secretary, not a lover. It doesn't matter whether he is gentle or strong.

Who says he really likes women? After all, everyone likes beautiful things, but Han Tao also has his own principles. Whether it is work or life, he must pay taxes when he should, and he will not sleep with anyone he shouldn't sleep with.

Soon, several people walked to Han Tao's office. Lina took Han Tao's coat and hung it up, then continued:

"In addition to replacing the secretary, the administrative department has also assigned several clerks to your office. And according to your instructions, after Lucky Sister He Xingfu completes the training, she will also join your office, and the Director's Office will be officially established.

Besides, Wendy and I have discussed this, and we've decided to form a legal assistance team to serve you directly. Qin Shi will be the team leader, Meng Lingqi and Luo Yun will be deputy team leaders, and Lucky and a few other interns will assist. This way, you'll have an easier time. Here's the information. If you don't have any other arrangements, please give me your instructions. I have other things to do."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll call you if anything happens!"

Han Tao placed the documents on the table and continued, "By the way, Li Na, please notify Chen Ran and ask her to arrange her work. I have other tasks for her."

"Okay boss, I know!"

Lina nodded. She knew that Han Tao's second fire was about to start. As long as he won this battle, both Mingtang and the lawyers involved in the case would become famous with Han Tao's support.

After all, the strength of one person is limited. Only when a team and a whole become strong can it last long and become increasingly unshakable.

He Fanxing walked in from outside the office, holding two cups of tea in her hands. She gently placed them in front of Han Tao and said,

"Director, have some water. I'm He Fanxing, and I'll be in charge of your internal affairs from now on. If you don't have any instructions, I'll wait outside. If you need anything, just call me."

"OK, thanks!"

"You're welcome!"

He Fanxing stepped out and sat in the seat where Shi Yi had sat before. Her job was mainly to take care of some trivial matters in the office and internal affairs, so she was always waiting for Han Tao's call.

Han Tao smiled slightly, reached out to pick up the teacup, and then explained the work and arrangements for the next day to Lin Rui and He Xingyun.

But just as he picked up the teacup, he couldn't help but think of Shi Yi. Although the girl had only been his secretary for a short period of time, she left a deep impression on Han Tao, especially in some details.

The cup of tea in his hand was very hot. Shi Yi had brewed it in advance and calculated the time to prepare it repeatedly. The temperature of the tea was always maintained at around 50 degrees, and it was just the right temperature no matter when he drank it.

Although it was just a cup of tea, it revealed the other person's subtle details. After putting down the teacup, Han Tao began to carefully check the information left by Lina.

...........................

Chapter 677: Lawyer Jiang Qiong's Domestic Violence Incident

Whether the director is working in the law firm or not has little impact on the current Mingtang Law Firm, because apart from the large cases he is responsible for that require the director's team to run, Han Tao no longer has to worry about other matters in the law firm.

After the merger and expansion, Mingtang Law Firm has completely entered the fast lane after the initial adaptation, so Mingtang is able to operate completely independently and he doesn't need to worry about planning and layout.

And everyone in the law firm knows that although Han Tao is the final decision maker, the people who are at the helm on a daily basis are Wendy and Lina, especially Wendy, who takes on all the leadership work.

Both she and Lina were born with good eyesight and could observe everything in great detail. Moreover, both of them were among the few powerful people who could see through people's hearts, and their management and professional abilities were not inferior to others.

Mingtang Law Firm is now much bigger than before. It has a headquarters and several branches, all managed in an orderly manner by Wendy. Han Tao is also very relieved to have the power of the law firm handed over to her.

This is indeed the case. As the morning meetings of various groups ended, everyone in the law firm began to get busy. The busiest ones were the ordinary salaried lawyers, as well as the assistants and interns, who all wanted to run without stopping.

This kind of working atmosphere and work attitude is definitely what many company bosses would like to see, but few can achieve this.

The most important thing is that the atmosphere and the busy state are contagious. Even Director Han Tao did not choose to slack off after finishing the work at hand. Instead, he specifically communicated with Wendy and told her that she could tell him if there were any difficult cases.

After the message was sent, Han Tao soon received a video call from Wendy. There were indeed some tricky things that needed to be handled by him as the director. However, they were not problems with the case, but that the law firm's partners had encountered difficulties.

Of course, the so-called difficulties were not raised by the other party, but the conclusion drawn by Wendy after she accidentally discovered it and specially arranged for someone to investigate. If Han Tao has time, it would be best for him to come forward to solve it.

Therefore, after hanging up the phone, Han Tao checked the information that had not been transmitted, and then immediately asked He Xingyun to notify the head of the marriage group under the Civil Department, Lawyer Jiang, who was in charge of the law firm's divorce cases, to come to his office.

After receiving the notice, Lawyer Jiang arranged for his assistant and assistant apprentice to continue organizing the information. Then he followed He Xingyun to the director's office with a smile and brought the information with him.

Jiang Qiong's idea was very simple. Since Director Han asked her to come over, how could she not report her work during this period in person?

Looking at Lawyer Jiang who walked in, although he had a smile on his face, it didn't look natural, and the foundation at the corners of his mouth and eyes was thicker. Han Tao knew that the problem Wendy mentioned was probably correct.

"Director, this is the recent case summary of the marriage team. Do you have any instructions for me?"

"I want to find out something from you. Sit down and talk!"

Han Tao gestured to He Xingyun to close the door, then he personally took a glass and handed it to Lawyer Jiang before sitting down and looking at her.

Lawyer Jiang’s name is Jiang Qiong. He was one of the former gold medal lawyers of Mingtang Law Firm. He is best at divorce cases and has a very high winning rate. He can be said to be a signature of Mingtang Law Firm.

But Jiang Qiong is the envy of her colleagues and friends, and the source of her parents' pride. However, she has a husband who is difficult to talk about. Although he is very successful in his career, he is a person with a habit of domestic violence.

Han Tao had a vague impression of this plot. Things are often so ironic. You know, Jiang Qiong is a divorce lawyer. She can file for divorce and make the other party leave the house or even go to jail.

However, facing this domestic violence, cheating, and alcoholic husband, she has been unable to make the right choice. The reasons are very simple: one is her children, and the other is the harm caused to her by her parents.

Jiang Qiong is a girl from a small city. She went to Shanghai to work hard right after graduation. With her own ability, she established a firm foothold in Mingtang, a well-known law firm, and became a victorious general specializing in divorce cases.

Her husband is also the boss of a large company. They live in a villa in a high-end community and have lovely children. However, such an enviable woman has been subjected to domestic violence for many years without any struggle.

This matter seems incredible, but it is actually very realistic. Marriage always traps women more than men. No matter how outstanding Lawyer Jiang is, she is still a woman, a daughter and a mother. There will always be too much helplessness behind the glory.

Jiang Qiong told Chen Ran that the first reason why she would rather endure domestic violence than divorce was that her parents were from a small place and had very traditional ideas. They could not accept their daughter getting divorced.

This is also the common mentality of many selfish parents. In order to maintain their own face, they would rather let their daughters struggle in the quagmire of a bad marriage than let them get divorced.

Another reason is that she wanted to leave a pure land for her children. Children are the most innocent when a marriage breaks down. As a divorce lawyer, Lawyer Jiang knows too well what divorce means to children.

It is precisely because she has seen so much that she is even more afraid that this kind of thing will happen to herself. Therefore, she endures humiliation and even risks her life to maintain this marriage. Her biggest goal is to reduce the impact on her children.

This is the helpless and naked reality. Even though she is a gold medal divorce lawyer, Jiang Qiong still cannot escape the test of her children. In the eyes of her children, his father is the boss of the company, his mother is a very good lawyer, and the family lives in a spacious villa. The children are so happy.

As a mother, how could Lawyer Jiang have the heart to destroy everything for her child and make him a child from a single-parent family?

So even though she had to face beatings from her husband again and again, she didn't want to pass this misfortune on to her children.

As the saying goes, women are weak by nature, but strong when they become mothers. The power that children give to mothers is infinite. All seemingly impossible things often become possible because of the existence of children.

"Okay, Director. Please tell me what you want to know."

Han Tao, who had regained consciousness, looked at Jiang Qiong with a gentle gaze and asked tentatively, "Lawyer Jiang, have you encountered any trouble recently?"

"Are you in trouble?"

Jiang Qiong looked at Han Tao in confusion, and responded with a puzzled expression: "Director, why do you ask? My work has been going smoothly recently, and there haven't been any problems."

Hearing this, Han Tao sincerely guided: "Lawyer Jiang, I already know that you have encountered problems, although they are in life, I shouldn't ask about them.

But you're my employee, my work partner, and the backbone of our law firm. As the director of Mingtang Law Firm, I can't let you work with a grievance. Tell me what's wrong, and we'll work together to find a solution."

In fact, Han Tao is not willing to interfere in other people's private affairs, but every lawyer in the law firm is an indispensable part, especially an excellent lawyer like Jiang Qiong. If he can help, he will definitely not stand idly by.

Jiang Qiong couldn't help but lower her head when she heard Han Tao's words and replied, "I really don't have anything to bother you with. The difficulties in life are just trivial matters. I can handle them myself. Thank you for your concern."

"This is no small matter. Wendy accidentally saw injuries on your body in the bathroom, and it's not the first time. I guessed right, you were beaten, right?"

"No...no...I knocked it accidentally..."

Jiang Qiong subconsciously pulled the collar of her shirt, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. Her most difficult secret was discovered, and she felt extremely painful and aggrieved.

At this time, at Han Tao's signal, He Xingyun walked to Jiang Qiong and comforted her while taking a look at her injuries. In addition to the faint marks at the corners of her mouth and eyes, there were two large bruises of varying depths on her collarbone.

This kind of injury must have been caused by a lot of force and without any scruples, which also shows that this is not the first time Jiang Qiong has been beaten.

...........................

Chapter 678: Lai Siu Tin "A Role Arranged by Book Friends"

Seeing Jiang Qiong crying silently, Han Tao did not feel pity, but rather a little angry at her for not fighting for her. Although in the original plot, Jiang Qiong did not have many roles and Feng Dezhao had even fewer, their marriage could give people a very profound warning.

As a divorce lawyer, Jiang Qiong has fought for the rights and upheld justice for many people. She has also helped many people escape from the whirlpool of misfortune. But when this happened to her, she became a helpless, cowardly woman who could not be redeemed.

Feng Dezhao had obvious violent tendencies and would take his anger out on Jiang Qiong when he was in a bad mood. Jiang Qiong was beaten to the ground countless times and was even sent to the hospital, but she could never muster up the courage to divorce.

Thinking of this, Han Tao's face turned grim. "Lawyer Jiang, you're a well-known divorce lawyer in Shanghai. Feng Dezhao has already committed intentional injury. Have you ever considered resisting domestic violence?"

After hearing Han Tao's words, Jiang Qiong couldn't suppress her inner grievance and burst into tears, "He is the father of the child after all. I don't want to ruin his future!"
