Chapter 245 – Telling on Yourself

Lin Hao was the chief barrister of the firm but not the boss of the firm, after he left the office of the firm’s boss, he went back to his own office and sat down, not long after a fine sweat broke out on his head – he was thinking about something, was everything yesterday just a result of his accidental loss of control or was it Jiang Tao’s scheming?

He remembered that he had met Jiang Tao, and even more so, he remembered every word that the two of them had said after they met, and now he couldn’t wait to take off his own head and kick it as a ball, how stupid did he have to be before he would be in front of Jiang Tao, and have to say the things that he had framed him for in his own words? Once upon a time he had always been very confident, but today he realized for the first time that he wasn’t that smart.

The boss’s meaning was clear, if he couldn’t solve this trouble he could only ask him to leave. Lin Hao thought about the look on his boss’s face just now, although it was still that kind of affectionate smile, and even carried the worry about his immediate situation, he clearly saw desperation on his boss’s face and in his eyes.

At one time, he was the firm’s gold standard, so the boss was always so polite when he saw him, with a hint of a low voice – to give him the best of the firm, including his office and all the office supplies he used, only better than the boss’s not worse than the boss’s, and the boss always referred to him as his brother, never There has never been a difference between the top and bottom of the hierarchy.

But now he has a little problem, the boss immediately turned his face away, although the words are still polite, although the attitude is still very polite, but it is already different. This is the businessman, can earn him a lot of money when he can treat you as a grandfather, once he can not bring him the benefits of the time, he will immediately do not treat you as a person.

He didn’t even doubt that when his presence would harm the firm’s interests, the boss would stomp on him hard to set aside his relationship with him – let the firm have losses, the boss would surely make him pay for it as well.

He was a bit angry, but what made him care now was not that, not that he had a big belly but he was thinking about a very important thing – if it was just a case of assaulting a police officer with no evidence, it was impossible for his shrewd boss to be so mean to him as a money tree, could it be that his boss had heard something?

Think of Jiang Tao is also in the firm, think of Jiang Tao came earlier than him today, think of the boss’s secretary at noon and colleagues said Jiang Tao went to see the boss – that nymphomaniac although there is a boyfriend, but still to a group of handsome and gold lawyers drooling, and she is the most preferred male lawyers is Jiang Tao, Lin Hao long ago had commented on this, still! What he said to Jiang Tao was that her aesthetics were abnormal.

Now Lin Hao want to care of course not that nymphomaniac boss secretary, he is thinking about Jiang Tao morning to see the boss did what, to be precise, he wants to know Jiang Tao morning to the boss said what! Thinking of this his brows wrinkled, a palm slapped on the desk, shaking the paper ah pen ah jumped and jumped: “This despicable villain.”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the boss’s attitude was suspicious, no matter what, there was no concrete physical evidence of last night’s attack on the police, there were only two witnesses, it was easy to overturn the case, and if it was operated properly, it could also bring the firm’s reputation to another level, how could the boss be so smart and not think of it?

Lin Hao also knew that he had acted a bit too much this morning, but he couldn’t be blamed for that, because everything that happened last night had made it impossible for him to be calm, and it was only natural that he would be angry when he found out that he had been arrested at the police station, and that every victim reacted the same way as he did.

He thought and thought about it and decided that the assault on the police wasn’t that hard to deal with, but the hardest thing to deal with was his affair with Anping and Zisan, and if his boss really knew about it, then he would really be done for.

Finally he couldn’t sit still, stood up and rushed out, rushed into Jiang Tao’s office in a gust of wind, completely ignoring Jiang Tao’s assistant’s obstruction, and seeing that there were clients in Jiang Tao’s office, he didn’t have the intention of leaving or apologizing: “I have something to ask you.” His gaze was fixed on Jiang Tao’s face, like he wanted to stare two holes in it.

Jiang Tao was embarrassed to apologize to the customer, said that this conversation is not charged, and agreed to invite the customer to dinner tomorrow lunch and then talk about the things that have not been talked about, only to appease the customer to send people out, since the beginning of Jiang Tao did not look at Lin Hao a glance, after sending away the customer Jiang Tao came back did not sit back behind the desk, “What is the matter?”

Did not chastise Lin Hao because he knew that even if he asked, it would be in vain, because Lin Hao had done so how could he apologize to him, and now he only wanted to know what madness Lin Hao was going to run into his office and disregarded that there were customers present.

“What did you go to the boss for in the morning, what exactly did you say to the boss? Also, was it on purpose that you mentioned alcohol in an aggravated tone at the end last night? By doing so, you lured me into drinking and getting drunk, then being taken away by the police, and ultimately being suspended on charges of assaulting a police officer-wasn’t it all a plot on your part?” Lin Hao stared at Jiang Tao roaring like an angry lion.

Jiang Tao looked at him, “How about I answer about the drinking first? Regardless of whether or not I intentionally mentioned alcohol in an aggravated tone, the person who ultimately decides whether or not to drink, and how much to drink is you not me, furthermore what you do when you’re drunk is also up to you not me, even if there is no such thing as a drunken man not a drunken heart, it’s not a big deal for you to be taken away by the police last night when you were drunk, is it? That’s also the job of the police, they’re protecting other citizens from a drunk and they’re also protecting you, the drunk, from hurting yourself.”

“So it doesn’t matter what you do when you’re drunk you really don’t know, I believe the police won’t do anything to you just because you’re drunk, at most they’ll just educate you a few times so that you can drink less in the future, and won’t bring any charges against you at all, and most of all what you’re going to do when you’re sober today. Lin Hao, let me make things a little clearer, even if I know you are in a bad mood and deliberately use words to stimulate you to drink, so what? All of your behavior was not something I told you to do, can’t you still admit your fault?”

He remote head: “You conceal the married thing and Zi Shan dating, hurt Lawyer An and Zi Shan two women, have you so far carefully thought about where you are wrong, have you ever thought about how to make up for your faults?”

Lin Hao rushed over and grabbed Jiang Tao’s collar, “You deliberately provoked me with words to make me go drinking, right? If I didn’t drink, there wouldn’t have been what happened today, everything is your fault, you dare not do it?”

Jiang Tao didn’t struggle and looked at him and said indifferently, “It’s me who deliberately provoked you, and I know you well enough to know that you will get drunk.” However, he just wanted Lin Hao to get drunk, so that the police would find him a little bit of trouble, and also lest he really find Barrister Zhang to retaliate against himself today, but he didn’t think that Lin Hao would be so unresponsive to his high hopes, and make the trouble so big that it would directly affect Lin Hao’s job and future.

He thought that as long as he gave Lin Hao a period of time, Lin Hao would be able to recover to the original, how to say that Lin Hao was also a very good person, and by then, after fully sobering up, he would not come back to find his trouble, or find Zi Shan’s trouble. He didn’t want Lin Hao to ruin his job, but he didn’t use the same tactics as he did when he was solving Zi Shan’s problems, except that Lin Hao wouldn’t care about that, much less think about it deeply.

Lin Hao just remembered the words, he was being counted by Jiang Tao.

“Good, you’re ruthless enough!” He pushed Jiang Tao away and growled, “Then why did you go and snitch on your boss, are you a man? Jiang Tao, you’re a villain, a complete villain, a villain who only plays dirty tricks.”

Jiang Tao frowned, “I only provoked you with a few words last night, as for going to the boss today it’s entirely business, your personal matters also concern Zi Shan, how could I ……”

Lin Hao interrupted, “You still want to argue, you don’t want to admit it? Ha, I’ve finally gotten to know you, Jiang Tao, we’ll see – don’t think that saying a few bad words about me will be enough to bring me to my knees, as I said, you’re still too young! Although you debuted around the same time as me, you haven’t been serious at all over the years, but I’ve been fighting hard for so many years, I’ll let you know what it means to fail.”

After saying that he turned around and left, slamming the door of Jiang Tao’s office fiercely, Jiang Tao looked at the door and was silent for a while, saying softly, “I’m sorry.” But, if things were to start over, would he still provoke Lin Hao to go drinking? He thought about it and gave a hey, sat back in his office and then continued to work, because there are no ifs in life, so what he did was what he did.

Lin Hao did not go back to his office, he first called the phone to Zi Shan, but Zi Shan did not answer his phone, so he wanted to reveal the true face of Jiang Tao’s mind can not be realized, and ultimately he went to look for his boss, everything is two sides of the same body, how can the same with what Jiang Tao said what it is, he wanted to let the boss know what should be believed.

Into the boss’s office, Lin Hao took a long breath: “Boss, I am indeed a hidden marriage, but it is almost done with the divorce procedures, so I am still single in the future, about my divorce, I think there are a few words must talk to you, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding …… ”

The boss still politely sat him down, still had his favorite coffee brought in, and listened very carefully to what he had to say, not even interrupting him in between, it wasn’t until he was finished that the boss nodded, “Oh, I see, all this has nothing to do with our firm either, and it has nothing to do with your work either.”

Lin Hao finally put his heart down, “I think so too, but I’m just afraid that someone doesn’t know how much nonsense is going on, so I’m just taking up some of my boss’s time. In fact, the thing is that my wife and I have long had the intention to divorce, just all busy did not have the time to handle, and her love life and my love life have each been irrelevant, this is the most important point.”

After his boss expressed his understanding, Lin Hao finally left, but after the door closed his boss muttered, “So it’s actually not true? Just how did he think that someone in the firm was snitching on me – did someone in the firm know about him? I can’t believe he didn’t say anything to me, it seems that my control over the firm’s affairs is indeed a bit loose.”
