I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

Chapter 306 No Way

"Going home together, you and Xia Ning?" Tang Xingliang asked.

Zhang Hao said with a half-smile: "Xia Ning and I live together, what do you think our relationship is?"

A man and a woman, about the same age.

What kind of relationship can there be if we live together?

Even a fool knows it.

I invited her girlfriend to dinner in front of her boyfriend, and even threatened her to sleep with me in my words. If she didn't hit me, I guess I could say she had a good temper.

If it were an ordinary person, he wouldn't really care.

But it’s different because Zhang Hao is a prosecutor.

As a criminal lawyer, the people I come into contact with the most are prosecutors from the procuratorate. When the time comes, I will let them know that I forced Zhang Hao's girlfriend to sleep with me.

By then, I'm afraid there will be no room for negotiation in my future criminal cases. Not only will I not be given a lighter sentence, but on the contrary, the sentence will be fixed. Who would dare to ask me to be their defense lawyer then?

Tang Xingliang said somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I don't know the relationship between you two."

"Ignorance is not a crime, Lawyer Tang, do you mind adding me to the party tonight?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile.

"Prosecutor Zhang, I'm really sorry. I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with a client to discuss the case in the evening. I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you." Tang Xingliang said apologetically.

"Lawyer Tang, are you really here to discuss the case, or do you just not want to treat me to a meal?" Zhang Hao looked at Tang Xingliang suspiciously.

Tang Xingliang said sincerely, "I really need to meet the person involved. If you don't believe me, you can come with me."

Zhang Hao said with a grin, "Lawyer Tang, I was just joking with you, how could you take it seriously? Of course I believe you."

Then he stretched out his hand towards Tang Xingliang.

Tang Xingliang looked at Zhang Hao with confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Give me money." Zhang Hao said.

Tang Xingliang was confused: "What money?"

Zhang Hao said confidently: "Didn't you just say you wanted to treat Xia Ning to a meal? Even though you can't go, you still have to treat her to a meal. You can't go back on your word, can you?"

Tang Xingliang was speechless. He didn't even go to eat, but he still had to pay for the meal. Wasn't he taking advantage of himself?

But he forced a smile and said, "Of course not. If you want to treat me, then I'll pay for it!"

He then took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out three hundred-dollar bills, thought for a moment, and took out two more and handed them to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao took the money and casually stuffed it into Xia Ning's hand, saying, "Look, Lawyer Tang is really generous. He gave 500 just for the taxi fare!"

Tang Xingliang was puzzled. Taxi fare?

Isn't this fucking money for food?

Who spends 500 yuan on a taxi? Is yours a Rolls-Royce?

Zhang Hao looked at Tang Xingliang's expression and said, "Lawyer Tang, what's with that expression?"

"Isn't this five hundred yuan for food instead of taxi fare?"

Then Zhang Hao said exaggeratedly, "No way, no way! You're a renowned lawyer, the best criminal lawyer in Hanjiang City, and you only spend 500 yuan on a meal? What can you eat with that much money? A street stall? That's too embarrassing, isn't it?"

Tang Xingliang wanted to curse when he heard this. Five hundred yuan for a roadside meal?

The average salary now is only between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan, so these 500 yuan are enough to go to some big hotels.

But now Zhang Hao was obviously putting Tang Xingliang on the fire.

If I dare to say that this is the money for food, I will lose all my face.

You can only swallow your anger.

He forced a smile and said, "Of course not. That's just taxi money."

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "I told you, Lawyer Tang would never be so stingy."

Tang Xingliang smiled and took out his wallet again, pulling out ten bills. He originally wanted to give them to Zhang Hao, but what if Zhang Hao wanted to use the money for something else? Wouldn't that mean he would lose another thousand yuan?

So after thinking about it, I drew out ten more cards.

This is equivalent to spending two thousand five hundred yuan in total.

Although he is a well-known lawyer and charges a high fee for a lawsuit, for example, in An Bowen's lawsuit, his fee was 10,000 yuan, but now he inexplicably took out 2,500 yuan to treat people to a meal, and he still felt the pain.

Zhang Hao said to Xia Ning: "Xia Ning, you take the money, so that no one will accuse me of accepting bribes, which would be bad."

Xia Ning said hesitantly: "Is this okay?"

"What's wrong with that? Lawyer Tang invited us to dinner. If you don't accept it, it means you look down on him. Don't you think so, Lawyer Tang?" Zhang Hao said playfully.

Tang Xingliang was now speechless, unable to express his pain. He could only endure the pain and nod, saying, "Yes."

Xia Ning took the money from Tang Xingliang.

Zhang Hao said, "Xia Ning, why don't you thank Lawyer Tang?"

"Thank you, Lawyer Tang." Xia Ning thanked.

Tang Xingliang forced a smile and said, "No need."

"Mr. Tang is very generous. By the way, let's get back to the topic. This is the new sentencing recommendation. Please take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, let An Bowen sign it." Zhang Hao handed the reprinted sentencing recommendation to Tang Xingliang.

Although Tang Xingliang felt a little bad about spending 2,500 yuan for nothing, it was actually worth it if he could get a sentencing recommendation of not prosecuting. After all, he usually maintained relationships with those prosecutors, and the money he spent on meals and gifts was not a small amount.

He reached out to take the sentencing recommendation, but his expression changed the next second.

An Bowen remained silent because he also wanted a non-prosecution sentence. After all, who would be willing to go to jail these days?

Moreover, I have inquired about it. Although no one has been suspected of war crimes since the founding of the People's Republic of China, according to the sentencing standards, I will definitely be sentenced to actual imprisonment, and the minimum sentence is three years.

When he saw Tang Xingliang's expression, he had a bad feeling in his heart and asked anxiously: "Lawyer Tang, what is the sentencing recommendation?"

Tang Xingliang took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Hao and said, "Lawyer Zhang, is there something wrong with your sentencing recommendation?"

"That's right!" Zhang Hao replied.

"That's not right. Shouldn't it be no prosecution? But why is the sentencing recommendation written as seven years?" Tang Xingliang asked.

When An Bowen heard this, his face turned pale instantly. How could this happen?

The previous sentencing recommendation was only three years, but now it has suddenly more than doubled to seven years.

Zhang Hao said calmly, "Who told you not to sue?"

"And who do you think you are, actually dictating sentencing recommendations and making decisions for me? Do you want this prosecutor to do it for you?"

When Tang Xingliang heard this, he looked embarrassed...
