Gu Nianzhi looked at the email and password He Zhichu sent and hesitated for a few seconds before logging into his account.
As soon as she opened the email interface, the dense English text almost blinded her eyes.
In that instant, she felt like she was working in an all-English environment.
She immediately focused and began reading He Zhichu's emails.
In the beginning, she only wanted to familiarize herself with He Zhichu's work environment and see what kind of emails there were.
After a night of reading, she came to a conclusion: no matter what profession, once you stand at the top of the world, money is really easy to earn!
Of course, the process of climbing from the bottom to the top of the world is too arduous and difficult. It's the same no matter what profession you are in. So in general, money is not easy to earn …
Most of He Zhichu's work emails were about large American listed companies looking for lawyers to draft legal documents and inviting him to be a director on the board of directors. It wasn't the kind with shares, but the kind where he could sit during meetings and receive tens of thousands of dollars every minute.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue and logged out of He Zhichu's email. She texted him, "Professor He, I'll sign."
It was easy to be an assistant like that. It was even easier than being He Zhichu's teaching assistant at B University.
She didn't think much of it and signed the contract. She scanned it and sent it to He Zhichu.
He Zhichu received the contract and didn't pay much attention to it. He signed it and forwarded it to the American law firm's HR department.
He was also one of the law firm's partners and had complete personnel rights. After the HR department received the new contract and entered it into the system, Gu Nianzhi became an employee of the largest law firm in the United States, even though she was only a junior assistant.
After receiving confirmation from the other side, He Zhichu called Gu Nianzhi again and said to her, "Okay, you're now my assistant. They'll contact you and give you a work email number. Remember to give them your bank account number so they can pay you. "
American law firms didn't have payroll cards. As long as they gave them a confirmed bank account number, their monthly salary would be automatically transferred.
"Ok!" Gu Nianzhi answered crisply and closed her laptop with a smile.
She looked at her watch and saw it was already 11 pm.
"Professor He, you're still awake?" Gu Nianzhi wanted to shower.
He Zhichu shook his head. "I still have some unfinished business."
Gu Nianzhi recalled He Zhichu's work email that she had just seen. She leaned against the bathroom door frame and said with a smile, "Your job is so easy. You just go to meetings regularly and use templates to make a few corporate contracts. That's a sky-high income."
He Zhichu's fee was 50,000 US dollars per minute. Yes, that's right, he was charged by the minute.
However, there were still many companies that wanted to hire him. He was not short of money, so he did not take on every case. Usually, he would symbolically take on a few cases every month and distribute them to his subordinates in the law firm. He would collect half of the fees, and the other half would be used to pay the lawyers in the law firm.
For a lawyer of his status, a two-minute lawyer's fee was equivalent to the annual salary of a new lawyer.
"Meetings are very tiring. Don't think that money is easy to earn." The corners of He Zhichu's mouth twitched, and his smile disappeared in a flash. "I basically don't take on criminal and civil cases. Most of them are corporate-law cases. If you want to get busy, I can also try criminal and civil cases. "
"No!" Gu Nianzhi quickly stopped He Zhichu. "This is good. When I get through this year and have enough credits, you can take on other types."
"Okay, when you want to do other types, I'll ask them for more." He Zhichu was really obedient to her, even when it came to work.
Gu Nianzhi was getting more familiar with him and understood his style of doing things. Of course, she was not as resistant to him as before.
Gu Nianzhi hung up and went to the bathroom to shower and get ready for bed.
However, He Zhichu was still staring at the darkened phone screen. His expression was as cold as ever, but the occasional twinkle in his peach blossom eyes revealed his inner turmoil.
He never thought that he would find her in such a situation.
He was silent for a while. Just as he was about to put down the phone, he saw a text message pop up.
"Ah-Chu, your birthday is coming up. Go home."
It was a text from his father.
He Zhichu tightened his grip and turned off the phone as if nothing had happened. He pretended not to see it and also went to bed.
He planned to reply to the text tomorrow in case his father found out he was online and called again …
…
Prime Minister candidate Tan Dongbang's daughter, Tan Guiren's disappearance (abduction) in the United States became the hottest news in the Hua Xia Empire. Minister of the Interior Bai Jiancheng had just caught up in the polls, but Tan Dongbang suddenly overtook him by five percentage points.
This gap was already very large for the later stages of the election.
Bai Jiancheng knew how to conduct himself. Although he was overtaken and his years of hard work was almost destroyed, he still didn't get angry or act rudely. He praised Tan Dongbang's achievements and even Tan Dongbang, who viewed him as his greatest rival, couldn't help but admire him.
"Uncle, are you just going to watch that Tan person climb over your head by any means necessary?" Bai Shuang defended Bai Jiancheng. "You've always been in the lead and supported the entire cabinet! How dare he take advantage of you! He can even use your daughter to help with the election! How shameless! "
Bai Jiancheng and his eldest daughter, Bai Yueran, looked at each other and smiled. He said to Bai Shuang, "Don't say that, Minister Tan's daughter is in trouble, and everyone feels bad. They didn't want this to happen. I'm afraid it wasn't their intention for this to be exposed. "
"Yes, Shuang. You can say this kind of thing at home, but don't say it out there and make your uncle look bad. "Bai Yueran stroked Bai Shuang's shoulder-length hair and said calmly," Oh right, how has Little Ze been lately? Has he contacted you? "
Bai Shuang shook her head. "I heard he went on a mission. I haven't heard from him for a month."
Bai Yueran pursed her lips. "Oh right, Special Operations Forces missions can't be told to outsiders. I remember now, don't disturb him. "
"Of course I won't." Bai Shuang nodded sheepishly. She wouldn't tell her cousin that she had texted Zhao Liangze's phone last night.
She knew he wouldn't reply and couldn't see it, but she couldn't help it.
Just touching his phone number and profile picture made her happy.
"Yes, Shuang, do you want to go out and work? You gave yourself a long vacation after resigning from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's time for you to settle down, right? "Bai Yueran asked her subtly. She still felt bad for her cousin whose parents had passed away.
Bai Shuang was also thinking about this. She rested her chin on the sofa for a while and said, "When Little Ze comes back, I'll discuss it with him."
Bai Yueran's hand trembled. She stared at Bai Shuang's profile. "You're that close to him?"
"It's alright. We're just good friends." Bai Shuang wanted to laugh, but she held it in.
She and Zhao Liangze were now good friends who could talk about anything. They were like bros. She believed that she would definitely be able to go one step further in the near future!
Bai Yueran looked at her and smiled. "Okay, you can discuss it with him when he comes back."
Bai Shuang saw that her uncle and cousin had nothing to say, so she stood up and said, "I'm going down to see Auntie. It's almost time for dinner. I'll call you guys later?"
"Yes, hurry up. I want to eat fried chicken wings. I don't know if the kitchen has made them yet." Bai Yueran laughed.
She was very attractive when she laughed, especially her mouth. Although it looked a little big, it was very sexy when she laughed.
Bai Shuang smiled and pinched Bai Yueran's mouth before turning to go downstairs.
As soon as Bai Shuang left, Bai Yueran closed the door to the study and asked Bai Jiancheng, "Dad, what do you want to do?"
Tan Dongbang was aggressive, so it was impossible for them not to retaliate. However, there was no need to say anything in front of Bai Shuang.
Bai Jiancheng's expression didn't change. He still wore his habitual smile and clenched his fists on the desk. His entire aura was unfathomable.
"It's nothing. I didn't expect the Tan family to throw caution to the wind." Bai Jiancheng shook his head emotionally. "I underestimated him in the past. However, we can't let him continue to hype up this news. "
"I'm also considering this problem." Bai Yueran sat in front of Bai Jiancheng's desk. "Do you want me to talk to the media?"
"No, there's no need." Bai Jiancheng looked at her deeply. "Yueran, I personally taught you. Don't you know that it's better to let it go? It's more important to prevent the public from talking. If we forcefully suppress the news, it will only give the Tan family something to use against us and hype it up again. At that time, the target will be me. His poll will rise again, while mine will continue to fall. "
Bai Yueran clenched her fists tightly and closed her eyes. "I understand, Father. I won't interfere with the freedom of the media. "
"That's right." Bai Jiancheng's voice deepened as he said patiently, "However, the public's attention to the hot news is short-lived. It's very simple to reduce the popularity of his news. We just have to use one hot news to cover another …"
Bai Yueran's heart skipped a beat. "If we're talking about hot news, I did see a piece of news a few days ago. It was also an overseas student from our country. I'm afraid this is even more eye-catching than the Tan Guiren incident. However, the student's parents are from a normal family and don't have a prominent status like the Tan family. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for them to maintain their status in the future. "
"Really? Normal families are also citizens of the Hua Xia Empire. How can we just stand by and watch when they're in trouble? "Bai Jiancheng smiled slowly." Tell me, what is it? "
"It's also a case that happened in Germany." Bai Yueran took out her phone and found the news that had appeared on an inconspicuous website. "It's not trending overseas at the moment because the Tan Guiren incident is still occupying the headlines of all the major news agencies."
Bai Jiancheng glanced at it. "How did you find out?"
"I didn't find out. It appeared in a routine report from the Special Operations Forces." Bai Yueran was the director of the Special Operations Forces' legal department. The Special Operations Forces would have internal reports sent to all officials above the director level every week.
