"She said her name was Wen Shouyi." Gu Nianzhi looked closely at He Zhichu's expression and saw that his dark eyes were calm, but his aura was a bit colder. She immediately chuckled and said, "Professor He, maybe she's doing this for my own good? Don't be angry. "
He paused and said half-sarcastically, "Maybe she knows that I can't stand being goaded, so she's trying to provoke me at the last minute so that I can perform better. Look, didn't I perform well today? You're going to give me an acceptance letter, right? "
He Zhichu slowly put away the folder and stood up to look at Gu Nianzhi. He said in a business-like tone, "You're good at expressing yourself. Keep it up and strive to be a defense lawyer in court."
As he walked out, he took out his phone and sent a message. He then entered Gu Nianzhi's name on the B University School of Law's admissions website and confirmed it before showing it to Gu Nianzhi. "You can check your email, the acceptance letter should have been sent automatically. You should receive the paper acceptance letter in three days. Call me if you don't get it. "
Gu Nianzhi quickly took out her phone to check her email.
As expected, an acceptance letter from the B University School of Law Admissions Office was already sitting in her email.
With this, Gu Nianzhi finally let out a deep sigh of relief. The weight on her chest had finally been lifted.
She almost immediately forwarded the acceptance letter to Yin Shixiong and Chen Lie.
She didn't forward it to Huo Shaoheng because he didn't have a personal email.
He never checked his work email. His personal secretary, Zhao Liangze, took care of it for him, so Gu Nianzhi didn't have to trouble herself.
"Thank you, Professor He. I'll be counting on you in the future. " Gu Nianzhi bowed to He Zhichu again to thank him. "I hope Professor He is magnanimous and forgets that I was late for the last two interviews."
He Zhichu was still texting on his phone as he replied impassively, "If I really didn't want you, all I had to do was make you fail the interview. Why would I go through the trouble of giving you a special spot for spring admission? I don't have the time to make things difficult for you. "
Gu Nianzhi made a face behind He Zhichu's back and giggled. "I knew Professor He wasn't a narrow-minded, two-faced person. That's why I came to the interview with great psychological pressure. Luckily, I won the bet."
He Zhichu stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. His dark brows furrowed. "Don't overthink things." Then, he changed the topic. "You have more than half a year from this summer's graduation to next spring's enrollment. What are your plans?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I haven't thought about it yet. I have to go back and discuss it with my family."
"You're very obedient to your family?" He Zhichu keenly noticed this fact.
The best lawyers are half psychologists.
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and smiled. "I'm still young. I'm not even 18 yet. Of course I have to listen to my family. They won't harm me."
He Zhichu didn't say anything else. He lowered his head and dialed a number.
Gu Nianzhi's phone immediately rang. Just as she was about to answer, the other party hung up again.
He Zhichu raised his phone. "That's my number. Save it for me. If you don't have anything else to do, you can start helping me with cases during the summer break. "
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She quickly saved He Zhichu's number. "I'll be sure to contact Professor He when the time comes."
He Zhichu waved at her to let her go first. He walked to the small office next door and sat down.
Soon after, Wen Shouyi arrived. She asked gently, "Professor He, you were looking for me?"
He Zhichu pushed the folder beside him to Wen Shouyi. "I've accepted Gu Nianzhi. Finish the paperwork for her."
Wen Shouyi was shocked. "Professor He, you've really accepted her? But she … "
Not only had she been late twice, but she'd also talked back to He Zhichu. Based on Wen Shouyi's understanding of He Zhichu over the years, she'd already crossed his bottom line.
"Business is business. Personal is personal. Don't think too much about it. " He Zhichu lit a cigarette. His peach blossom eyes sparkled as he looked at Wen Shouyi. He didn't ask her, but Wen Shouyi knew Gu Nianzhi must have complained.
Wen Shouyi smiled helplessly. She played the conversation she'd recorded yesterday to He Zhichu.
"… That's it. I was being kind. I didn't want Professor He to worry about you in the future. I also didn't want this little girl's future to be ruined because of this. I didn't expect this little girl to be so sharp-tongued. She's especially good at twisting people's words. I'm almost embarrassed by her. " Wen Shouyi spoke softly as she opened the folder He Zhichu had handed to her. She sorted out the documents and reorganized them.
He Zhichu blew out a bright white smoke ring. His dark eyes darkened. He stared at the door for a while. He didn't say anything until the recording ended.
Wen Shouyi sat across from He Zhichu. She looked up at him and smiled.
The morning sun was cut into strands by the blinds in the small office. It reflected on her, half bright and half dark.
He Zhichu smoked his cigarette. His gaze returned to Wen Shouyi's face. He seemed to be immersed in a distant memory.
The Wen Shouyi in front of him had a slightly plump figure, thin eyebrows, a small mouth, a straight and slender nose, and slightly upturned phoenix eyes, which were somewhat similar to his peach blossom eyes, but more slender. She looked like a lady who had walked out of an ancient painting, plump and round, with a delicate charm after the wind and waves had calmed down.
He Zhichu stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "Is there anything else?"
Wen Shouyi relaxed. She took out her phone to look at her electronic notepad. She said calmly, "Someone sent in a list today. Someone in C City is hiring Professor He to be their defense lawyer at a high price."
He Zhichu was not only a partner in a major American law firm. He also had an Imperial lawyer's license. He had his own law firm in the Imperial capital.
"Oh? Who is it? "
To be able to hire He Zhichu as a defense lawyer, one not only had to be rich, but they also had to have enough trouble.
"This family has a bit of a history with you." Wen Shouyi took out a document from her handbag. "Do you still remember the student you interviewed for the first time, Feng Yixi?"
He Zhichu took the document and glanced at it. "Didn't Feng Yixi violate the school rules and get expelled? The Fengs? What happened to them? "
"Feng Yixi violated the school rules. Not only was she expelled, but she's also now sentenced. She'll have to go through a year of labor." Wen Shouyi said regretfully. "This student is the real pity. I don't know what kind of person she messed with. She's been messed with so badly."
"Shouyi, you're also a lawyer. I can fire you immediately for using such unprofessional language." He Zhichu pushed the document back. "I don't want to make a fool of myself when someone who follows me says such things."
