Gu Nianzhi looked at the interview notice in her mailbox and shook her head speechlessly.
She had only casually applied for this kind of small law firm to make up the numbers. She had never thought that she would have to go for an interview one day.
But now, this small law firm had become her last straw of hope.
She turned on her phone to look for the interview address.
Upon closer inspection, this small law firm's location was not bad. It was in the eastern part of the city, where large companies gathered. It wasn't far from the Hilton Hotel where she was staying.
Gu Nianzhi walked there.
However, after arriving, she realized that this law firm couldn't be any smaller.
The law firm was located on the second floor of a 36-story building. It was a small company with only two rooms.
She went in and saw the person for the interview. Oh, it was really someone she knew.
It was Lawyer Jin, who had once lost to her.
Of course, it was Lawyer Jin on this side, not Lawyer Jin on the other side.
However, before Lawyer Jin on the other side lost to her, he was a top lawyer at a first-rate law firm. Later, he was fired because of a series of mistakes in lawsuits, so he went to work at He Zhichu's law firm.
Lawyer Jin on this side was obviously different from the other side.
He was very amiable and explained the situation of the law firm clearly the moment they met. He also said that he thought she wouldn't come for the interview because with her education and the school she graduated from, she was definitely going to enter the best law firm in C City.
"… Miss Gu, I won't hide it from you. I opened this law firm myself. It's a small business, and the lawsuits are all trivial divorce cases. Those large mergers and acquisitions, economic cases, or criminal cases don't have a chance to be handled by a small law firm like ours. Would you be willing to come? "
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said honestly, "If you don't want me, I really don't have anywhere else to go."
"Why?" This was also what Lawyer Jin was most puzzled about. "Your education is very good …"
"I offended someone. Those big law firms are concerned about connections, so they all rejected me." Gu Nianzhi also laid her cards on the table. "I don't know if you mind my situation."
She suspected that the person behind this was most likely Wen Shouyi or Qin Yaoguang. Their goal was to prove that she was nothing after leaving the He family.
Gu Nianzhi actually wanted to grab that Miss Wen's wooden head and smash it against the wall a few times. She wanted to tell her that she didn't want the He family to help her, but that didn't mean that the He family had to become her obstacle!
However, Gu Nianzhi wouldn't lower her head to them even if she had to.
Lawyer Jin put down his pen in surprise. "Did you offend someone? But you just graduated from school, right? How did he offend someone? Do you think they can stop you from entering a big law firm? "
Gu Nianzhi replied casually, "I offended a rich kid at school, so I got bullied."
"So that's how it is!" Lawyer Jin was filled with righteous indignation. "I was the same back then! So I couldn't find a job anywhere. In the end, I could only open a small law firm to make a living! "
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
Damn it, she was just making it up!
Gu Nianzhi really wanted to give herself a thumbs up for being able to "unite against a common enemy."
Look at her luck. She would always show you a little bit of the golden edge of the dark clouds when a large dark cloud was about to strike. She would give you a little bit of hope that you could see but could not touch. She would numb you and destroy your fighting spirit.
Gu Nianzhi made a face inside and immediately said, "I already have a lawyer's license. You won't lose out if you hire me. I will work very hard to find cases for the station! "
Of course, Lawyer Jin couldn't ask for more.
His small law firm had been open for ten years, and he had accumulated some connections in the middle and lower class households.
Although he didn't earn much, he was much better than the average salaryman.
Recently, there had been more and more business. He really couldn't handle it alone, so he wanted to find a capable helper.
The two of them hit it off and immediately signed an employment contract.
Lawyer Jin gave her a starting salary of 8,000 yuan a month. After half a year, her salary could be adjusted again depending on her performance. The year-end bonus was two months' salary, and there was a certain commission for large cases. Five insurance and one housing fund were provided. It could be said that it was a very sincere contract.
Then he called the building management office to make an electronic door number for her so that she could take the elevator freely.
Gu Nianzhi calmly looked at the floor: the second floor. She needed to take the elevator?
"Welcome to Jin's law firm." Lawyer Jin smiled so widely that his eyes couldn't be seen. He shook her hand. "Maybe we'll become partners in the future. When can you start work? "
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, boss. I can come to work tomorrow." Gu Nianzhi's mouth was very sweet. "I will continue to work hard!"
She took the contract and happily walked out of the door of Jin's law firm.
Because it was only the second floor, she couldn't be bothered to wait for the elevator and went straight down the stairs.
When she returned to the hotel, Qin Zhining was in her room holding his phone. She didn't know who he was talking to, but the expression on his face was exceptionally gentle and affectionate.
Gu Nianzhi's expression changed slightly.
He was calling Wen Shouyi, wasn't he?
How could she have forgotten about that?
So there was a "spy" by her side who had told Wen Shouyi about the law firm she was interviewing for here, right?
Gu Nianzhi was in a bad mood, so she wouldn't let anyone else be in a good mood, especially the person who had secretly done something to make her feel bad.
Her emotions came on a whim. By the time she sat down in front of Qin Zhining with a sullen face, tears were already streaming down her face like a broken string of beads.
They hung on her fair and delicate skin, like a pear blossom in the rain, delicate and moving.
Qin Zhining looked up and was shocked. "What's wrong? What happened? "
He forgot to hang up the phone. Wen Shouyi heard him and quickly asked, "Ah Ning, what's wrong? Who are you talking to? "
"… It's Miss Gu." Qin Zhining wanted to hang up the phone, but Gu Nianzhi also spoke. She asked, "Brother Little Ning, who are you talking to?"
"… Shouyi." Qin Zhining felt like he was a microphone, passing messages between Wen Shouyi and Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and wiped her tears with a tissue. She said pitifully, "Really? Brother Little Ning, you should go. You're too big, and my temple is too small. I can't afford to keep you. "
"What do you mean?" Qin Zhining was anxious and quickly hung up the phone. He leaned forward and asked, "What happened?"
"What happened? You're asking me?! " Gu Nianzhi glared at Qin Zhining. "It's all your fault. You told everyone about my interview. Now, someone has ulterior motives and those law firms have all rejected me! Are you satisfied? Are you happy?! "
Qin Zhining let out an "ah" and turned his head away guiltily. "… Well, maybe you're not capable enough. How can you blame others?"
Although he said that, he knew in his heart that it wasn't the real reason.
With Gu Nianzhi's education, ability, and lawyer's license, how could she not even get a junior position at a large law firm?
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi scoffed. "Don't try to change the subject. Did you tell anyone else about my interview? You just have to answer yes or no. "
Qin Zhining fell silent and didn't dare speak.
"Then don't say anything." Gu Nianzhi began to reason logically. "Did you tell Wen Shouyi?"
Qin Zhining pursed his lips. He wanted to defend himself, but he had indeed told Wen Shouyi, so he didn't say anything.
"I'm not wrong, am I?" Gu Nianzhi stood up, picked up the pillow from the sofa, and hit Qin Zhining hard on the head.
As she hit him, she cried, "Do you know how hard it was for me to get the interview?! During the interview, they clearly said that they would want me, but the other party didn't want me after a background check. You're saying that I'm not capable enough?! "
"Let me tell you, if I wasn't capable enough, the other party wouldn't have done a background check at all!"
Gu Nianzhi gave Qin Zhining the middle finger and said fiercely, "I hate that insidious girlfriend of yours, Wen Shouyi! She's trying to kill me! "
Qin Zhining grabbed Gu Nianzhi's hand to stop her from making such gestures. He said unhappily, "Yes, I told Wen Shouyi, but she's not that kind of person. She won't interfere in your business."
"Really? You dare call her and confront her face to face? " Gu Nianzhi pointed at Qin Zhining's phone. "Call her and ask her if she's familiar with the people from the four law firms. She'll definitely lie to you and say she's not familiar with them."
Qin Zhining picked up his phone doubtfully. He had seen Gu Nianzhi's hopeful and disappointed expression for the past two days with his own eyes. He couldn't help sympathizing with her. After some thought, he called Wen Shouyi.
As soon as he dialed, Wen Shouyi immediately picked up.
Qin Zhining had suddenly hung up the phone just now. She had called but hadn't picked up. She felt a little uneasy and had been waiting for his call.
When she saw that he had called, she immediately picked up and asked, "Ah Ning, what happened?"
Qin Zhining's voice was very calm. She couldn't tell what had happened.
He asked calmly, "Shouyi, are you very familiar with these four law firms?"
He said the names of the four law firms, and Wen Shouyi denied it. "I'm not familiar with them. What's wrong?"
Qin Zhining looked at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi showed Qin Zhining the news report she had found.
She had found it on the Internet. It was the main investor of these four law firms.
Among these four law firms, three of them had a common major shareholder, Qin Yaoguang.
There was also a law firm with a major shareholder surnamed Qin. Judging from the name, she should also be a member of the Qin family and a relative of Qin Yaoguang.
"… These four law firms are so close to Mrs. Qin. Would you believe Wen Shouyi if she said she wasn't familiar with them?" Gu Nianzhi deliberately said loudly for Wen Shouyi, who was on the other end of the phone.
Wen Shouyi panicked and quickly said, "Ah Ning, don't listen to Gu Nianzhi's nonsense. Mrs. Qin isn't familiar with those law firms at all. The shares she holds are all held on behalf of the Qin family. "
"You even know about the shares on behalf of others, and you still dare to say you're not familiar with them?" Gu Nianzhi immediately asked. "We didn't even mention it, so why are you thinking about the shares?"
"Haha, Miss Wen, it's not bad for you to hide behind the scenes and enjoy the thrill of the storm, right?" Gu Nianzhi simply shouted into Qin Zhining's phone, "You messed up all my interviews. You didn't even let go of the last small law firm. How much do you hate me? How much do you not want me to get a job?! "
Wen Shouyi retorted instinctively, "What does your last interview with that small law firm have to do with me? You didn't get a job because you weren't capable enough. "
"Oh? Then you're admitting that other than the last interview with the small law firm, which had nothing to do with you, you were the one who messed up the first four big law firms' interviews? "Gu Nianzhi took the opportunity to dig a hole." Then shouldn't I thank you for showing mercy?! "
