Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

Hearing this, Han Tao pondered for a moment and asked again: "I can understand for the sake of the children, so why not divorce?"

"Director, I'm a divorce lawyer. If I get divorced, who would want to sue me? If others know that I can't even handle my own marriage, how can I handle other people's marriages?"

Jiang Qiong laughed at herself, and gradually wiped away her tears and calmed down. She never thought that anyone could help her. After all, this was a family matter. Apart from filing a lawsuit at night, even the police would find it difficult to intervene and could only give them a lecture.

Han Tao shook his head in disagreement and looked at her: "Lawyer Jiang, you are so confused. Do you really think this is a reason?

In my opinion, if you can win your divorce case well and beautifully, you are a good divorce lawyer. You can also set an example for those who are suffering from domestic violence and gain more trust from others.”

"I actually understand this and have thought about divorce, but the child is still so young, so I just want to endure it and get over it."

"I really don't know how you became a top divorce lawyer. Don't you understand the profound impact domestic violence has on children? There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. Once a child finds out, the damage to their heart will be even greater. Don't you understand?"

Han Tao really couldn't understand this mentality. If this matter wasn't dealt with promptly, the one who would be most affected would be the so-called protected child.

If a child grows up in such an environment, there is a high probability that he or she will lose confidence in marriage, or even worse, develop violent tendencies.

Many mothers believe that they should endure domestic violence from their husbands for the sake of their children, but the result may not necessarily protect the children's young hearts, and returning the favor may even backfire.

Seeing that Jiang Qiong finally looked thoughtful, Han Tao handed her a tissue and continued, "Lawyer Jiang, I remember your husband is the general manager of a large company, right?"

"Yes, I'm the general manager of an investment company and one of the major shareholders."

Jiang Qiong nodded, looked at Han Tao and continued, "But what does this have to do with my divorce? I'm not getting a divorce because of my wealth. You should know my current annual income. I'm completely financially independent."

Han Tao nodded: "I know that you broke through one million in the first half of the year. I meant that he should care more about his reputation because of his status. Have you ever thought of using this to force him to submit?

As long as you grasp his economic lifeline, human weakness will make him hesitant to act rashly, and he may even dare not go against your decision, otherwise you will cut off his economic chain."

When Jiang Qiong heard Han Tao say this, her eyes widened in sudden enlightenment. She was the one who was confused before, so she hesitated and said:

"I'm afraid he'll choose to break up, which would still break up our family, and that's a step I don't want to take.

Although I know countless laws that can protect me and how to maximize my own interests, there is no law that can teach me how to protect my family!

As she spoke, Jiang Qiong became emotional again and couldn't hold back her tears. She spoke in fragments about the domestic violence incident from the beginning to the present. Feng Dezhao had actually started to abuse her less than a month after she gave birth to her child.

Jiang Qiong initially thought about divorce, but Feng Dezhao knelt down to admit his mistakes to her many times, and she thought that if she went to court for domestic violence, everyone would know that her marriage life was a mess.

Although this incident itself was not her fault, public thinking can never be stopped, and it is inevitable that it will have an impact on her caseload.

Jiang Qiong came from a small place and has been fighting alone for so many years, so she cherishes her hard-earned achievements and dares not even neglect them in the slightest. In order to stick to the career she loves, she endured the domestic violence after her confinement.

"The success or failure of a family cannot be maintained by one person. The more you think so, the more it leads to Feng Dezhao's recklessness. In such a life, do you think it is meaningful to keep it?"

Han Tao shook his head helplessly. In fact, the higher the position one holds, the more concerns one has. For example, Feng Dezhao, as the boss of the company, lives in a big villa and can beat his wife anytime and anywhere without any excuse. His perverted venting is also based on what he thinks is within the controllable range.

He was sure of Jiang Qiong's concerns, so he had no scruples. In the original plot, when Jiang Qiong said she wanted to go for a physical examination in order to protect Chen Ran, Feng Dezhao stopped. This proved that he was more worried about the matter being exposed, and he also knew that if the matter spread, it would have a fatal impact on his career.

As for Jiang Qiong's thoughts, Han Tao was also very clear. People are always more sensitive to bad news, and the speed of its spread is even more alarming. The profession of lawyer can be said to have seen all kinds of life. After seeing so much, they are naturally afraid of similar experiences. Therefore, they endure it for a long time and become numb.

What Han Tao has to do now is to help her make a choice. For a woman like Jiang Qiong who is essentially not dependent on others and has strong working ability, her awakening is only a matter of time. All she needs is an opportunity.

No man can hold on to happiness by violence, and no woman can't live without her husband. Jiang Qiong, who gradually opened her heart, made some resolutions and said:

"The director is right. It was my repeated concessions that made him worse. At first, he just found excuses to argue and hit me. Later, whenever things didn't go his way at work, he took it out on me, scolding and beating me. But in the past two years, there's no need for excuses to be friends!"

"I'm relieved that you can wake up. Do you need my help?" Han Tao saw that she had indeed listened to him, so he asked.

Jiang Qiong nodded: "Director, for the sake of the child, I don't want him to go to jail, so I can handle the lawsuit myself, but I want you to do me a favor..."

"You're worried that he'll just give up in the end. After all, he'll get half of the property in a divorce, and all the grievances you've endured over the years will be in vain, right?"

After that, Han Tao took out his phone and sent a message to Lina, then gave Qin Shi's phone number to Jiang Qiong:

"I'll help you with his company's affairs, including your own property issues. Lina will tell you what to do later.

And my assistant, Qin Shi, is also very good at divorce cases. Let her help you. After all, some things are inconvenient for you to handle on your own."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Director!"

Jiang Qiong stood up and bowed deeply to Han Tao. A natural smile appeared on her face, completely free of the previous stiffness. It was obvious that it came from the heart.

Han Tao also stood up and gave her a slight support, saying, "Don't be polite. You're my soldier. As your leader, I have to show my concern for you no matter if you have any problems at work or in your personal life."

"Well, thank you again for your concern, Director. I will!"

Jiang Qiong bowed again, and as she stood up, she suddenly thought of something and spoke again, "By the way, Director, I heard that Director Lina is selecting a secretary for you again. Is there anyone suitable?"

"We did select a few, but they are all on probation."

Han Tao nodded, sat down, looked at her and asked, "Why, Lawyer Jiang, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

"There is indeed one. My cousin, Lai Siu-tin, graduated from a prestigious university and works as a risk control manager at an investment company. However, her major is secretarial work. I can ask her."

"Sure, it never hurts to have more talent in reserve. Send the information to me and Lina. If it's suitable, let Lina go and discuss it."

"Well, I'll send it to you later. If there's nothing else, I'll go to work first."

"Okay, who is contacting me with this tricky thing?"

"Got it, thank you, Director!"

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

Book friends asked to see the sister-in-law, but due to some reasons and plot issues, it could not be arranged, so a separate role played by the same person was arranged (I tried my best. If you have other characters you want to see, you can go to the group or comment area to tell me, Qingqiu will try to arrange it)

Chapter 679 Qin Shi and Guan Juer

Mingtang Law Firm, director's office.

After Jiang Qiong left, Han Tao checked today's schedule and found that after finishing the work at hand, there were basically no important social engagements in the afternoon.

He sat there thinking for a moment, called He Fanxing in and gave her a few instructions, then closed his eyes and prepared to review Jiang Qiong's question in his mind.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the open door of the office, and then Qin Shi came in with a folder and said:

"Boss, Sister Lina just called me and said you've arranged a new job for me?"

"Sit down!" Han Tao looked at Qin Shi who came running over, smiled and nodded, motioned her to sit down and continued:

"It's Lawyer Jiang Qiong, the head of the divorce team. She's been having some personal problems lately, and as a leader, I can't stand by and watch. It just so happens that you're quite skilled in the divorce field, so I'd like you to help her."

"Lawyer Jiang?"

Qin Shi looked at Han Tao curiously and joked, "You're such a good leader, but you're a bit biased. I'm also your soldier, and you're my senior. Why don't you help me solve this problem?"

"If you have any difficulties, it's good enough if you don't bully others."

Han Tao smiled slightly. In the law firm, only Qin Shi and a few lawyers from Han University dared to joke with him.

Hearing this, Qin Shi rolled his eyes at Han Tao, and without caring whether it was appropriate or not, he directly picked up Han Tao's teacup and took a sip:

"I've come all this way to seek refuge with you, and now I'm in trouble. I'd like to ask if you can help me."

"No rules!"

Han Tao looked at Qin Shi, snatched the teacup and put it away, then said after a long while, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing Han Tao take the teacup back, Qin Shi blushed and said, "My family is urging me to get married, and they've arranged a lot of blind dates for me recently, so I want your help..."

"Stop, I don't have time to play house with you!"

Han Tao interrupted her. He was already in debt of love, so he had no intention of provoking others in the short term. However, considering her self-esteem, he compromised and said:

"You can use me as a joke, and I'll answer a phone call or something, but forget about me acting like I'm with you to meet your parents!"

"Hmph...Okay then!"

Qin Shi considered that it was working hours, so he stopped pestering him. He walked over to Han Tao, opened the document in his hand and continued:

"Then let's talk about the case that Lawyer Jiang and I took over. While you're here, I have a rather difficult case that you entrusted me with before..."

"Okay, the case you're handling involves some people from Linjiang Province. There are a few things you need to pay attention to..."

When it comes to work, Han Tao and Qin Shi both became serious, and one was eager to learn while the other was willing to teach. In addition, since he had just returned, Lina did not arrange too much work for him, so the time was spent with his in-depth and easy-to-understand teaching.

During this period, all the problems and difficulties Qin Shi encountered in her work were solved one by one. This made her sigh that having a good leader can indeed help avoid many detours.

If she hadn't had some fellow students, it would have been difficult for her to receive hands-on guidance from a top lawyer like Han Tao, including the borrowing of some resources and connections, which is absolutely rare.

Especially personal connections, which are the basis for obtaining case sources. Only when you know more people, especially more powerful people, will you have relatively more and higher-quality case sources.

However, for young lawyers who have just started practicing, or lawyers who are capable but lack connections, the resources that Han Tao has at this level are out of their reach.

Moreover, personal connections not only directly help expand case sources, but also have a great impact on the smooth and successful handling of cases.

For example, personal connections can play an immeasurable role when investigating and collecting evidence, consulting on professional issues, and communicating with relevant units and departments.

The most important point is that a lawyer’s case handling ability is never learned, but practiced, just like a sharpshooter is fed with bullets.

Only when there is a steady stream of cases will you have a large number of cases to practice. Then, in practice, you will have a good master to guide you, and you will have strong learning, adaptation, reflection and summarizing abilities. Only in this way can you gradually develop a higher professional level.

When you have a high level of professionalism and strong case-handling ability, your reputation will gradually improve. Each of your cases is an achievement, and each of your clients is your resource. Your case-handling ability and your good reputation will attract more resources to you.

In real great lawyers, you will find that ability is resources, and resources are ability. Many resources come for their ability, and they also have the ability to activate, transform and digest resources.

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

At the same time, in the tea room of Huaxin Securities, Guan Juer had just sent a message to Han Tao when she received a call from her mother.

"Guan Guan, how are you getting along with Xiao Han? Are you coming home this week?"

Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Guan Juer pouted and responded, "Mom, Brother Han has been too busy recently. He just came back from a business trip yesterday, and we haven't had much time to be together.

But we have an appointment to have dinner together today, and he will be staying at Ode to Joy that night. I will ask him if he has time then, okay?"

"Let's go back to live together in Ode to Joy?"

Guan Juer's mother's tone was anxious. She was a little worried after hearing her daughter's answer, so she continued to ask:

"You silly girl, have you forgotten my instructions? Are you already living with Xiao Han?"

"Oh, Mom, what are you talking about!"

Guan Juer grumbled and said angrily into the phone: "I'm your daughter, don't you believe me?"

"I'm asking this because you're my daughter. You're easily fooled, and I'm afraid you'll be fooled by sweet talk!"

At Guan Juer's home in Wuxi, Guan's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes and continued to remind him in a teaching tone:

"Although Xiao Han bought you a house in Shanghai, your relationship hasn't been finalized yet. You must stick to your bottom line at this time.

Although it is a new era, mom tells you that people with a family background like his will care a lot about these things. Your dad and I don’t have too many expectations, we just hope that you can find a good family.

If necessary, your father and I will buy you a house in Shanghai. We can afford it, so don't let others look down on you."

Hearing the words on the phone, Guan Juer didn't care whether her mother could see or not, and hurriedly shook her head, blushing and saying:

"Mom, we really don't live together. Brother Han is a gentleman, it's not what you think."

Guan Juer's mother was still a little worried and asked: "Really, you won't lie to me?"

“Really not…”

Before Guan Juer could finish her response, she saw that her phone had another call coming in, and it was from Han Tao. She quickly said coquettishly:

"Mom, I won't talk to you anymore. Brother Han called back, so I'll hang up first.

But don't worry, I'll go back to the rented house after dinner and send you the video, and let Yingying and Sister Fan testify for me."

"Okay, Xiao Han, call me back and see how excited you are. It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm thinking about you, understand? It's true that girls can't be kept at home when they grow up. Your dad and I have loved you in vain!"

"Of course I understand. I know your father is doing this for my own good. I know my limits. Don't worry. I'm hanging up now!"

"Don't drink when you eat, and don't go home too late. Be sure to send me a video when you get home, okay?"

"I know, I know. Bye, Mom!"

“Bye…bye…really…”

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

Chapter 680 Meeting Andy

In Wuxi, in a mid-to-high-end residential area, Guan Juer’s home.

Seeing that the phone had been hung up, Guan Juer's father sat on the sofa with a thermos cup in his hand, looked at his wife and complained:

"Look at what you're saying. Your daughter is grown up now. She has her own ideas and sense of propriety. Stop worrying about her!"

"Shut up!"
