Others laugh at me can matter, but my dignity I can not matter? I'm going to make money, I will let the leaf cuckoo regret a lifetime, let her have a look, I not only rich before, and knowledge, but also very handsome! Ha ha ha. Zhu principal is "Chinese Department of Peking University graduate, before the Cultural Revolution" in response to "going to the countryside" the call to Guizhou, is a veteran of the intellectual level. He saw Zhang Zhiqian's mood is very excited, slowly advised Zhang Zhiqian, talk about it in detail from the macro and micro abstraction, ultimately boils down to one sentence "I forbid you to leave". Finally, Zhang didn't go, but from completely changed. Previously, Zhang Zhiqian in the school to dealing with women, looked very solemn and serious, even make fun of, is humorous and witty gentleman style. But since Ye cuckoo is gone, and dealing with a woman, not only speech frivolity and vulgar, rude behavior humble. Once dinner banquet, he talks much, by talking about far mobile phone called a 24 or 25 years old young woman, to talk much said, this is Wang Yuemei, my wife.

Then, the right hand hug Wang Yuemei, left to solve her clothes, Wang laughing, Zuiyan hazy said, brother, I told you, my grandmother gave me the specially pinch. See this scene, about away terrified. The summer of 1997, the legal advisory office Tongan area renamed the great lawyer, Zhao node was appointed director of the Bureau of justice, is no longer as director, took on far pushed up when the director. At that time, in the old lawyer Kim Qianshan, other lawyers Hula pull another portal to innovation, only a few young lawyer assistant, business volume dropped steeply. Soon the end of the year, the income of less than one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. The legal advisory office Tongan area from the beginning of 1990, the average annual income in three hundred thousand yuan, after 1995, the annual income has exceeded eight hundred thousand yuan. On the far to see this situation, anxious to be scorched by the flames, and hurried to the old director Zhao Jie for help. Director Zhao heard far after report, also very anxious, thought for a few days on far said, you quickly raise or enlarge an army. So far, about the thought of Zhang Zhiqian. On the far and Zhang Zhiqian was graduated from Guizhou University in 1988, two professional although different, but they got the degree of Bachelor of law in the same. After graduation, in persuading the talk away, Zhang Zhiqian is holding the playful attitude with talk much to participate in the second national lawyer qualification examination, the results were both obtained lawyer qualification. After that, both in Tongan area law office attorney, only talk about far full-time lawyers, Zhang was a part-time lawyer. Zhang Zhiqian is a school of philosophy, logic thinking ability is very strong, and eloquent, the court plays so well. Zhao before node appreciate Zhang praised as a lawyer, he is cut, and repeatedly advised a prior to shop in works full-time lawyer. But Zhang Zhiqian thinks Chinese is not a legal country, law is only a kind of decoration, to coax the parties only, can play, can not take it seriously. Remember Zhao node also be poker-faced before said, ah, you this idea too reactionary, in the past, immediately put you into the counter revolutionary. Zhang Zhiqian not to regard it as right smile, politely refused him as a full-time lawyer Zhao node proposal. Since the leaf cuckoo gone, Zhang Zhiqian never to do a case. On the far spent almost half a month to find Zhang Zhiqian. Zhang Zhiqian said the dialogue far, although no classes this semester, but with other teachers collaborated on a research topic, often go to the countryside to run, so busy. About wearing and decadent far watched Zhang before the dirty air, heart ache, but still sigh said quietly, you see you, people do not ghost not ghost, into what look like? Or reading, it is a disgrace to gentle! Zhang Zhiqian listened, mood suddenly excited, said in a loud voice, yeah, I'm not ghost not ghost, I have her gentle! Even as your brother, in Western dress and leather shoes, successful career, happy family! I give you up, I give you kowtow qingzui, brother! She said, Zhang Zhiqian hum cried. On the far quickly closed the office door, depress voice says hate hate, you fucking losers, a leaf cuckoo will push you into this kind eggs! The end of the world where no grass, a man with no wife how, the reason you understand better than I. The "cuckoo" woman leaves than what one thing worthy of you, you should be so spoil yourself? Tell me, what's the matter? On the far didn't think I would swear. In fact, talking about far already know what happened. At the beginning, Zhang before drinking, with many girls, and later infected with gambling addiction. The first is to play mahjong, later to play a game called "card machine", a call it a few days and nights, every time the cleaners. Lost money, just want to recoup losses, more recoup losses more lose more. Zhang Zhiqian's monthly salary less than three hundred yuan, how can lose? So, Zhang before starting to borrow money. The first is to have an affair with his woman borrow, then to have a crush on him by the woman, then, no matter who, even students borrow money. Thus, owe a debt before zhang. Borrow money soon lost, pay is so poor, and not what savings, had all day to hide oneself from place to place, make bad reputation. On the far to find Zhang Zhiqian, Zhang Zhiqian has had Dutch act. "borrowed money to almost one hundred thousand dollars, the light." Zhang Zhiqian to talk much said, mixed feelings of remorse and shame, his hands firmly him by the hair, and then deeply sighed and said, what shall I do? On the far gasped, pointing to a prior to scold: "you this ha son!" On the far think Zhang Zhiqian again how to lose, is tens of millions of dollars, who knows he is such a large number of! On the far is dumbfounded, lit a cigarette, countersunk hard to smoke. According to the idea of far, to persuade Zhang came when the lawyer, and from some organs or large factories and mines to recruit two or three full-time lawyers, to strengthen the power of. Zhang Zhiqian himself has higher lawyer business level, but also a good social relations, many of his classmates as a middle-level leadership positions in the party and government departments, and career prospects. Once the use of these relationships, the volume of business, especially the legal counsel in this business will increase rapidly, but also afraid of reduced income? But now look at this piece of before, talk much shaken, really wanted to immediately before calling a roll out, and then shut the door, then do not know this person. But far can not do, because a prior saved about China. He knows that, once Zhang Zhiqian shut sb., he will never see Chinese benefactor. Thought of here, on the far before the decision for a debt, let him dignified and imposing man. On the far when so many years of lawyer, had earned some money, but because the cost is big, the little savings, gather together to gather together to only collect fifty thousand yuan. Also sent fifty thousand yuan how to do? On the far think it over and over again, there is no way, had to borrow fifty thousand yuan from the house together, for Zhang before the debt. Borrow the money in to place, talk about far also dedicated to Zhao node to report, Zhao nodes that you write a report to me give you number. Subsequently, Zhang resigned as before
