Gu Nianzhi looked at Xiao Zhang's hand at the front desk and was speechless.
Jin Dazhuang walked over with his goji berries in his hands and said slowly, "I'll go with you. You've already sent the bid, right?"
"Yes, they've already received it." Gu Nianzhi picked up the coffee that Xiao Zhang had made for her and took a sip. "This is a copy. After they receive it, they'll screen it based on the content of the bid. If it's shortlisted, they'll receive a call today or tomorrow. "
That day, the three of them were not in the mood to work. They had been waiting anxiously for the call.
Finally, before they got off work in the afternoon, Xiao Zhang at the front desk received a call from the Lu Corporation as he wished.
"Lawyer Gu! Lawyer Jin! We've been shortlisted! We'll go to the site tomorrow! "Xiao Zhang at the front desk jumped and shouted. He was extremely happy.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a big gulp of water. She smiled and said, "Look at me, I'm so nervous that I didn't even dare to drink water. I was afraid that if I drank too much water, it would delay the call."
"Then you can't drink water tomorrow either. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if you missed the on-site bidding." Xiao Zhang took the water cup from Gu Nianzhi's hand seriously. "Leave it with me. I'll return it to you when you pass."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
She knew that as long as no one got in the way, it wouldn't be a problem to get a small contract.
..
At nine o 'clock on Tuesday morning, Gu Nianzhi and Jin Dazhuang were dressed in their best suits. They carried their laptops to the Lu Corporation's conference room on the 30th floor and waited for the interview.
They were the smallest law firm and were ranked last among all the law firms that were bidding on the spot.
They waited from nine o 'clock in the morning until three o' clock in the afternoon before Gu Nianzhi and Jin Dazhuang were called in.
The person in charge of the on-site bidding was already so tired that he was swaying left and right. He didn't want to listen to them at all.
The bald male supervisor sitting in the middle frowned as he looked at the Jin law firm's bid document. He muttered, "… Why did something strange sneak in … How did the legal department screen? How dare such a small law firm come to our company to bid for business? Are they looking down on our Lu Corporation? "
Gu Nianzhi coughed softly and said, "Sir, your microphone is not turned off."
Therefore, everyone heard his' muttering '.
There was an awkward laughter in the conference room.
The bald male supervisor did it on purpose. He didn't expect the two of them to be so tactless. He shook their bidding documents impatiently. "Your law firm is so small. Why would you want to bid for our business? Was there a mistake somewhere? Why don't you go back first, and I'll check with the department in charge of screening the bidding documents? "
Holy shit! A mistake?!
Everyone has been waiting for an entire day, and you're telling me there's a mistake?
Gu Nianzhi was about to lose her temper when the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. Lu Yuan walked in slowly and said gently, "I happened to be free, so I came to listen to the bidding."
"Hello, President Lu!"
"Director Lu!"
"Chairman Lu, please sit here!"
"Boss Lu, do you want tea or coffee?"
The managers of the Lu Corporation who were in charge of the bidding and defense were extremely excited. They surrounded their big boss and flattered him.
Gu Nianzhi swallowed her anger when she saw Lu Yuan come in.
With Lu Yuan around, these people could not slack off even if they wanted to.
As expected, the bald male supervisor asked excitedly, "Jin law firm, which one of you is the author of this bidding document?"
Gu Nianzhi stood up. "It's me. Is there anything you would like to ask? "
The bald male supervisor was about to speak when Lu Yuan reached out and took Gu Nianzhi's bidding document from him. He said, "Let me take a look."
The big boss was going to ask questions personally, so the managers in the room could only hold their breaths.
Lu Yuan looked at it for a while and asked, "Lawyer Gu, right? Your law firm is so small that it doesn't seem to match the professional functions that our company needs in the legal field. "
The bald male supervisor next to him quickly nodded when he heard this. "Yes, yes, that's what I said just now. Whether it's intellectual property rights, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, or infringement lawsuits, they don't have any experience in this area. The four major law firms that we just competed with all have their own strengths. Actually … "
Gu Nianzhi was already prepared. She immediately interrupted them and asked calmly, "May I ask if in your company's eyes, only intellectual property rights, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and infringement lawsuits are considered legal business?"
"Isn't that so?" The bald male supervisor looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile. "Don't tell me you want us to use your expertise in divorce lawsuits? Little girl, are you married? If you're not married, you won't be able to find a partner if you keep helping people fight divorce lawsuits! "
Gu Nianzhi was furious. How could he have the face to say such a strong personal attack?!
Although Gu Nianzhi was angry, she still maintained her composure. She took out her business card and placed it in front of the bald male supervisor. She said calmly, "Sure, sure. I think you'll need to look for us soon. I'll give you a 20% discount."
The bald male supervisor was stunned for a moment before he understood what Gu Nianzhi meant. He couldn't help but fly into a rage out of humiliation. "Hey! Why are you cursing me! I only said one thing to you, and you're cursing me for divorce just like that?! "
He threw Gu Nianzhi's business card on the ground.
Gu Nianzhi bent down to pick it up and said nonchalantly, "Okay, then when your wife comes to me for divorce, I'll give her a 20% discount."
"You –!" The bald male supervisor was completely furious. He stood up and waved his arm vigorously. "You!
out！”
He directly told Gu Nianzhi to get lost.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Lu Yuan wasn't the kind of person who would look down on others. She turned her gaze over. "President Lu, are you chasing me away too?"
Lu Yuan smiled and apologized to her. "Lawyer Gu, I'm really sorry for making you feel wronged. It's our fault."
He looked at the bald male supervisor, who had lost his composure, and his eyes darkened. "You, get.
Out. "(You're the one who should get lost.)
The president and chairman had spoken, and the bald male supervisor was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
He walked out of the conference room in a daze. He couldn't understand why he had been angered by that little girl's words.
He must be too tired, he must be …
However, he had to teach this small law firm a lesson.
In the large conference room, Gu Nianzhi spoke with confidence.
"President Lu, I know that our law firm is indeed very small, but small has its advantages. Our business is close to the people's livelihood and has a close relationship with ordinary people."
"We're good at dealing with ordinary people. We know their needs and demands."
"For a large company like yours, you don't need a divorce lawyer to help you with a lawsuit, but you need labor arbitration. I've studied the legal composition of your company and found that you're blank in labor arbitration."
"In terms of labor law, our lawyer Jin is a true expert. He has personally helped many fired employees with reasonable labor arbitration. It can be said that he's not inferior to any large law firm."
"On the contrary, because of the fees charged by a large law firm, this kind of small labor arbitration won't be in their eyes. Ordinary employees can't afford to hire a large law firm, but we can provide the same quality service as a large law firm, but our fees are only a fraction of theirs."
"So I believe that if you sign a contract with our law firm, we can help you solve many labor problems. Your HR department can also consult our law firm as much as possible when it comes to hiring personnel."
After Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, she placed another more detailed bid in front of Lu Yuan. "President Lu, this is the detailed bid I made. There's a comparison of data in it. Please refer to it."
The bid wasn't long, only three pages, but the data was detailed and the argument was powerful. One didn't need to be a legal professional to be able to tell the weight of this bid.
A bid written with this kind of thinking would have a very high winning rate even if it were to bid for the business of a large international company.
Lu Yuan was already very satisfied, but he still said aloofly, "Lawyer Gu, I remember you just said that you were the one who drafted this bid?"
"Yes, I wrote it all. Every punctuation mark is original." Gu Nianzhi spread her hands playfully. "All rights reserved. Reproductions will be investigated."
Lu Yuan smiled and looked up. The lines at the corners of his eyes were even more charming. "… But this bid really doesn't look like it was written by someone who just graduated. Forgive me for asking, but has lawyer Gu ever had similar work experience before? "
Whether one had work experience or not, one's performance during an interview was completely different.
It was just like how virgins and non-virgins behaved completely differently on their wedding night.
Any experienced man would be able to tell at a glance.
Gu Nianzhi was stunned for a moment and chose not to say it. "I'll tell you this question when I have the chance in the future, okay?"
"Okay, I'll wait and see." Lu Yuan stood up and said to the other supervisors in the conference room, "I think they're not bad. We're really lacking in this area. Their addition can fill in the gap in this area."
He actually accepted Gu Nianzhi's words completely.
The supervisors understood as soon as they heard this and quickly said, "Congratulations! You're the first contract law firm we've accepted. Come, lawyer Jin, lawyer Gu, sign the contract here. "
The big boss had already said it was fine. They weren't idiots like before. What good would it do to go against the big boss?
..
Gu Nianzhi and Jin Dazhuang practically floated back to the second floor.
The receptionist, Xiao Zhang, rushed over nervously. "Lawyer Gu, lawyer Jin, how was it? Did you pass?! "
"No … As if!" Gu Nianzhi shouted and jumped up with Xiao Zhang in her arms. "We're rich! We can hire now! Xiao Zhang, you're the beauty of the front desk! "
Xiao Zhang was also extremely happy. "I don't have to change jobs! I want a promotion and a raise! "
Jin Dazhuang was so angry that his nose was crooked. "Xiao Zhang! You despise the poor and love the rich! Hmph! "
In the end, Gu Nianzhi and Xiao Zhang laughed even harder.
Jin Dazhuang was angry for a while, then he also laughed and said, "People go up, and water flows down. I don't blame Xiao Zhang for thinking that way. I was the one who was stuck in my own ways. I admit my mistake. From now on, we will work together to make the law firm bigger and stronger! "
Their law firm had good news, and so did the Lu Corporation.
A week later, the Lu Corporation announced the good news of their in-depth cooperation with the Qin Corporation in terms of network security. They were also negotiating a new contract with the government to provide technical support for the country in terms of network security.
The Lu Corporation's stock price rose in response and doubled in a week.
Of course, the Lu Corporation had to celebrate such a joyous occasion.
Therefore, the CEO's office announced that the company would hold a grand celebration. This meeting would not be held in C City, but in H City, known as the "Pearl of the East".
H City was a metropolis in the south of Huaxia Empire. It had one of the three best deep-water ports in the world, Victoria Port. It was also a tourist city.
All three of them in the law firm had received invitations.
"Lawyer Gu, are you going or not? It's a free tour! "The receptionist, Xiao Zhang, was very excited.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to go at first. Her birthday was coming up, and she was feeling down. She didn't have the energy to do anything. She said listlessly, "We'll talk about it then."
Xiao Zhang was browsing Weibo on his iPad. From time to time, he exclaimed, "The Lu Corporation is really generous! They invited so many celebrities! "
"There are still a lot of socialites …"
"Ah, look, this socialite is so elegant and beautiful! Let me see who she is … "Xiao Zhang put on a show by himself.
She patted Gu Nianzhi on the shoulder. "Lawyer Gu, look, Xie Qingying, Prime Minister Xie's niece! I heard that she represented Prime Minister Xie at the celebration banquet of the Lu Corporation! "
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. "Who?!"
"Xie Qingying, she's going too!" Xiao Zhang showed Gu Nianzhi his Weibo.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Xie Qingying's graceful figure in an evening gown on Weibo's trending page, and her heart burned.
For Xie Qingying, she had to go!
He finally had the chance to approach the Xie Family quietly …
