Chapter 133: So it’s for our daughter?
Shunji Kawano was driving his car and was about to go home when he found a call coming in.
He looked at the name "Saionji Akino" and fell into silence.
After three days, he thought the other party would never contact him again, but he still called?
After hesitating for a while, Shunji Kawano chose to answer the call.
"Moxi Moxi, is this Mr. Shunji?"
"It's me, Mr. Akino, I'm really sorry that I haven't responded to your message during this time..."
"..." Xiionji Akino listened to Kawano Shunji's sincere explanation. After three minutes, he smiled and said: "It's okay, Mr. Shunji, I happen to be quite busy these days."
"What I said on the phone may not be clear in some details. Mr. Shunji, can you come to the Rainbow Bridge?"
"Now?"
It was dusk at this time, and the windows of the surrounding buildings reflected the faint sunset. Pedestrians, roads, street lights, everything seemed to be coated with a layer of light, and this layer of light was slowly shrinking.
It's getting dark.
"Well, of course, if Mr. Junji is not available, we can make an appointment another day."
"No, no, no, of course I'm free. I'll go there now." Shunji Kawano adjusted his route and prepared to turn around ahead.
——
When Shunji Kawano arrived at the Rainbow Bridge, dusk had turned into night. It was indeed quite a distance from the court to Shinagawa Ward, and there was a traffic jam on the road, so it took a total of an hour to arrive successfully.
After parking the car, Shunji Kawano immediately tightened his suit and ran quickly towards the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge.
And just as he was about to enter the entrance, he saw the young man standing next to the vending machine, waiting quietly.
When Saionji Akino saw Kawano Shunji, he waved his hand to indicate his direction: "Mr. Shunji, I'm here to treat you today. What would you like to drink?"
"It's evening, and it's not good to drink coffee. Red bean soup will be fine. Thank you." Shunji Kawano said what Saionji Akino said last time, almost word for word.
Xiionji Akino couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay."
…
"Huh..." After taking a sip of the sweet red bean soup, Shunji Kawano suddenly felt very relaxed. At this time, Akino Saionji didn't speak, and the two grown men just watched the city silently.
night view.
Look at the interlacing lights and shadows reflected in Tokyo Bay, and look at the carnival party on the huge ship.
Saionji Akino couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "How much does it cost to rent a boat like that for a night?"
"Um... I'm sorry, I'm not very clear either." If Shunji Kawano was facing other clients, he would have to make up random things to show his professionalism, but for Akino Saionji, he wanted to do his best to
Be more real.
Saionji Akino didn't care at all, and started to get to the point with a smile.
"Mr. Shunji, I came to you today because I have a commission I want to hand over to you. This is the case of my friend..." As soon as Saionji Akino spoke, Kawano Shunji interrupted him and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Akino,
Maybe I didn’t make it clear on the phone just now. My current situation is very bad, and my reputation in the legal profession is almost gone. If I were to take charge of your commission, it would probably have a negative impact on you..."
"Well...but Mr. Junji, you are the most capable lawyer I know. If I didn't find you, I wouldn't know who to ask."
"Besides, the current situation is that I can only come to you." Akino Saionji honestly told Shunji Kawano that he had gone to other law firms to look for lawyers during this period, but was rejected.
But to Shunji Kawano, these were just some excuses for Akino Saionji to accept the case, or... white lies.
However, this also made Shunji Kawano feel even more guilty and moved.
"Leave this commission to me...is it really okay?" Kawano Shunji was still hesitant.
"Of course, and Mr. Junji, you also need a commission now, don't you?"
"I also heard about your matter from Lawyer Kawashima."
"so…"
Shunji Kawano immediately said seriously: "Mr. Akino, the fee for the commission you asked me to accept must not be adjusted randomly... This is against the rules."
"It's not the commission fee, but... Mr. Shunji, how much does it cost in total now, can you tell me?"
"..." Shunji Kawano looked at the other person's clear, impure eyes. While feeling ashamed, he also felt that he couldn't look into his eyes at all.
That kind of full trust and sincere emotion was the first time in so many years that he felt it from someone other than his family.
"Fifty million yen." After saying this number, he suddenly felt relieved. At the same time, he felt that his face as an adult had really been lost.
"Fifty million yen... Mr. Shunji, I have a proposal."
"You said."
"What do you think of the price of 50 million yen for hiring you as my lifelong legal advisor?"
"Lifelong consultant?" Shunji Kawano thought it seemed reasonable at first glance.
But he soon realized that this was not reasonable at all. His consulting fees from other large companies were only a few million yen at most. How could he get so much?
Moreover, in the current situation, finding a suitable reason for yourself to give money is a real help in times of need. The key is not money at all, but this huge favor.
"Mr. Akino...this...this..." Shunji Kawano was a little incoherent. He didn't know how to respond to Saionji Akino.
This kind of kindness really takes a lifetime to repay.
Shunji Kawano has this determination, but...
"Mr. Junji, please don't refuse. I still have a long life ahead of me, and there are still many things that I need to trouble you with. If you are unable to continue to be a lawyer because of these things, it's me who should be troubled."
"I have said before, Mr. Junji, you are the only adult I can trust at the moment. I hope our cooperation can truly last for a long time. This is my sincerity."
Shunji Kawano took a deep look at Saionji Akino, and then bowed to him.
"Thanks."
——
After sending Saionji Akino home, neither of them was in a hurry to sign any contract.
Shunji Kawano accepted the power of attorney and began to carefully investigate the case he was responsible for this time.
Workplace harassment dispute between cartoonist and cartoonist’s assistant…
This kind of person must be a habitual offender, and he must have persecuted other women before...
Follow this line to find someone...
I will be very busy again tomorrow.
Shunji Kawano did not go home immediately, but drove outside and read the power of attorney over and over again for a long time. Then he began to organize his thoughts on the spot and input the next schedule on his mobile phone.
Now, completing the mission given to him by Akino Saionji is the first priority.
The debt collection of 50 million yen will not be settled so quickly.
…
Today, Kawano Xialiang no longer needs to be observed and recuperated in the hospital. In fact, her injuries are not serious, they are just flesh wounds. She just stayed in the hospital for a few days to replace the best and most expensive ointment.
The wound on her leg has now scabbed over, and it is estimated that she will be fully recovered in two or three days, and will be able to go to school next Friday at the latest.
After Shunji Kawano returned home, he rarely asked his wife to take out some aged sake and sat at the dining table to drink several glasses alone.
Kawano Xialiang smelled the smell of his wine and couldn't help frowning and complained: "I drink as soon as I come back... It's really..."
"Your father is also under a lot of pressure at work." Nana Kawano said helplessly, "Xia Liang, you also need to learn to think more about things for your parents."
"I know." Kawano Xialiang walked upstairs nonchalantly. During this period of time, she was still very comfortable staying in the hospital. She had no distracting thoughts and could do whatever she wanted. She also had her mother taking care of her.
This time she would definitely postpone it until the end, waiting until all the wounds were healed before going to school.
Her legs are a part of her body that she is very confident about, and she would feel embarrassed if she wore them with scabs.
Shunji Kawano drank until eleven o'clock in the night, then got up and took off his suit, smelling of alcohol, and hugged his wife.
Nana Kawano blushed, thinking he was going to do that, so she sat up cross-legged skillfully.
But Shunji Kawano didn't have any desires. He just started talking about the conversation he had with Akino Saionji today, and how many guides he had met along the way over the years. Only this one
The young boy treated him with the most sincerity.
He also talked about what their situation would be like without him this time. They might have to sell off their property and their cars, and because their reputation as lawyers was damaged, it might be difficult to receive particularly lucrative commissions in the future.
We can only accept those who come and lower the threshold...
In short, life will not be easy in the future.
But this time.
No, it should be said that it is the second time.
Saionji Akino saved their family for the second time, allowing them to regain their lives without experiencing painful moments.
To be continued...
