I was a little upset at the time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I consulted a lot of lawyers. Everyone believed that I was innocent and could defend me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But George thought I was guilty. He wanted to cover it up for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It made me think he was not reliable. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I got up and said, “I think I have a problem communicating with you. I’ll find another lawyer.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, I got up and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Wait!” George quickly stopped me. He laughed and said, “in fact, if you are willing to give me more money, I am willing to trouble.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I watched him laugh and suddenly I thought George wasn’t reliable. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said, “George, to be honest, I don’t have a lot of money. I really can’t give you a lot of money except for the compensation.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You have no money?” George said to me with a clear expression, “you don’t have to hide it from me. I know everything about rich people in York. I know your relationship with your brother-in-law.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“My brother-in-law?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yeah, Sean, President of the Giant group.” George leaned his head over and whispered, “although this case is troublesome, you can ask him for money. I can defend you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t expect George to know about it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a pity that he thought too much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at George’s smug look and sneered, “George, if I’m really in that relationship with him, I can go straight to his lawyers. I don’t have to bother Daisy and find you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Um…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
George didn’t speak, so I sneered, “George, your IQ is too low. I’d better find someone else.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, I left directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard George behind me say, “You’re just a mistress. Don’t pretend to be intelligent!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to fight with him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I got to the lobby of the law firm, I saw the receptionist receiving a man. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man saw me and said, “June.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ming, why are you here?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming came to me. He had a friendly smile on his face. “My hospital has been in trouble recently. Our hospital’s legal counsel is here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do you come to the legal counsel?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was surprised. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Generally speaking, legal counsel would come to employers and employers would not come to legal counsel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming nodded. “Yeah, he’s busy, so I come to him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I immediately wondered if the legal adviser was George. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming had a good temper. I thought he would bully him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Or all the lawyers in three K law firm were not reliable. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I thought, someone behind me smiled, “Ming, don’t speak ill of me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming looked behind me and smiled, “I’m just telling the truth.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked back and saw a man standing in the middle of the office. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His hair was a little sparse. He looked a little older than Ming and was in his forties. But he seemed to be in good spirits. He was not as fat as George. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming shook hands with him and turned to me, “June, why are you here? Do you need a lawyer? Do you need me to recommend a lawyer to you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little hesitant. I hadn’t found a lawyer yet. If Ming recommended me a lawyer, I might be able to pay less. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said cheekily, “yes, I haven’t found a lawyer yet.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know the lawyer’s name was Arthur until Ming told me to go in. He was the leading lawyer in this firm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I briefly told Arthur about it. He nodded. “No problem. I can take this case.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Attorney fees…” I didn’t expect Arthur to agree. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was afraid he wanted a lot of money. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before Arthur spoke, Ming said, “I give you a lot of money every year, but I’ve only come to you a few times. You can think of it as our hospital case.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I can’t do that.” I said, “I can give money but I may not be able to give a lot of money at once. I can pay in installments.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The lawyers I consulted before said they wanted more money than compensation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They charged from a hundred thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Arthur may want a lot of money. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Arthur took a look at Ming and hesitates for a moment. He said, “this is the first time I’ve seen you ask me to do something for a woman. OK, I’ll do that. ” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to object but Ming and Arthur said they had something to talk about and drove me out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I’m going to thank Ming when this case is over. I want to give him a gift or something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I already have a lawyer. I thought I could do my work for the design competition at ease. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But the prosecutor and the police took turns calling me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They asked me the same question over and over again. I’m afraid I’ll be put in prison again, so I replied patiently. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was over 10 o’clock every time I was free. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I needed that money so I would try anyway. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So I always started painting at night. But I had been busy all day so I couldn’t do anything. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could only draw hard for the preliminary contest. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I was not satisfied with any painting. Time was running out. I could only stay up late. But the more I stayed up, the more confused I was and the worse I drew. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a vicious circle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was only five days before the end of the preliminary contest. I looked at my rough draft and wanted to cry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At night I sat at a small table. I had three cups of coffee in a row and revised the work on the computer over and over again. At last I fell asleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next morning, I opened my eyes and realized that I had fallen asleep last night. I was very sorry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t have time to think and went to work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Today was the weekly meeting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I arrived at the company, I went to the meeting room in advance to turn on the computer. I wanted to modify the design, but I found that the design in front of me was not the same as before I went to bed last night! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It had been modified in many places. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And many small details had been made fine adjustments. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who modified my manuscript? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who knew I was drawing in the hospital? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Looking at the manuscript in front of me, I thought of immortals. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But soon I laughed at myself, “there are no immortals in the world.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After I denied my idea, I found some small details in my works. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
