Volume 7: Mr. Love, Elite Lawyer, and Two Conjectures about Marriage Chapter 472: The Great Devil Yuan Xudong Takes Down Xu Le
"Who are you, fanning the flames here?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong speaking up for the powerless Dai Xi, Gu Jie couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Her hygienic eyes really stunned Yuan Xudong. Logically speaking, Yuan Xudong actually liked girls rolling their eyes at him, especially young and beautiful girls. But the problem was that Gu Jie was already in her forties, almost fifty. A woman of her age could be Yuan Xudong's mother, but she still rolled her eyes. Yuan Xudong almost laughed out loud. A woman of such an old age, although she was well maintained, where did she get the confidence to act young?
“Does it matter who I am?”
Yuan Xudong would not pamper a woman who felt too good about herself. He looked up at Gu Jie and said directly:
"Ma'am, if you have time to argue with me about who I am, why don't you go down and take the elevator next door? What do you think?"
"Do you have any manners? I'm not the last one to come up. Why do you want me to get off and take the elevator next door?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was rude to her, Gu Jie said with dissatisfaction. Upon hearing her say this, Yuan Xudong looked directly at Luo Bin next to him and said:
"Mr. Lawyer, did you hear that? The last person who came up should be able to understand Chinese when he goes down, right?"
"Got it. I'll go down. I'm not in a hurry. Waiting for two minutes is no big deal!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Luo Bin walked out of the elevator. Gu Jie looked at him and smiled a little embarrassedly. He smiled slightly in response. At this time, the elevator door closed and soon began to rise. After the embarrassing episode just now, the elevator seemed very quiet. Dai Xi leaned on the side of Yuan Xudong. She nodded slightly at Yuan Xudong and expressed her gratitude in a low voice:
"Thank you for what I did just now. I'm Dai Xi!"
"It's okay, it's just a small favor. I'm Yuan Xudong, and I work at Tengfei Capital on the 12th floor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened with a ding, and they arrived at the twelfth floor. Yuan Xudong waved to Dai Xi and then walked out of the elevator. Although it was only a few minutes, Yuan Xudong had left a much deeper impression on Dai Xi than an ordinary stranger. She would soon forget the stranger in the elevator, but would definitely have an impression of Gu Jie, Luo Bin, and Yuan Xudong. Moreover, Yuan Xudong was the positive side, while Gu Jie and Luo Bin were the negative sides. The comparison with these two negative examples would further deepen Dai Xi's good impression of Yuan Xudong.
This is the importance of the first impression. A good start will help you achieve twice the result with half the effort later.
…
At the same time, in the office of Quan Jin Law Firm, Attorney Jose was pestering the boss of the law firm, Feng Yin, and kept nagging:
"Ren Xiaonian is a shameless person. His brand strategy, in his own words, is to draw inspiration from other brands, fashion shows, animation, movies, etc., through multiple channels and in a diversified manner. This inspiration is actually plagiarism. He has more than 300 designers in his design headquarters, and he lets these 300 designers draw inspiration from everywhere, which is actually plagiarism. He is like this, and he even dares to say that his marketing slogan is "more styles, less quantity, and faster speed!"
After Jose had finally finished complaining, Fengyin immediately said:
"So, I let Luo Bin take over. You are freed and don't have to deal with this shameless guy anymore. What do you think?"
"I think this way, our law firm shouldn't accept such rogue clients!"
"Well, that's a good point. You can keep your opinion to yourself!"
Feng Yin didn't want to argue with Jose about whether Ren Xiaonian was a rogue client or not. In Jose's opinion, Ren Xiaonian was definitely not a good person. But in Feng Yin's opinion, Ren Xiaonian was a very good client and a big client of Quanjin Law Firm. If the other party was really a good person who abided by the law, then where would their law firm get its business from?
On the contrary, the bigger the other party's company is, the more assets it has, the more plagiarized works it has, and the more people sue it, then wouldn't their Quanjin Law Firm have an endless supply of lawsuits to file?
Ordinary people never file a lawsuit in their entire lives, or they only file one or two small lawsuits. If they rely on these ordinary people, how can the Quanjin Law Firm survive in this big city?
Among the lawyers in their law firm, except for those newcomers who have just entered the industry, who doesn’t have a luxury car and a mansion to maintain?
If they only rely on ordinary people, their Quanjin Law Firm can't even afford to rent the current office, let alone elites.
Therefore, no matter how bad Ren Xiaonian is, how much he disrespects the fruits of other people's labor, and even how he disrespects the law and the legal advisers who use the law to make money, as the head of Quanjin Law Firm, Feng Yin has to treat the other party as a guest of honor. He may not need Jose, a big lawyer with a lack of brains, but he cannot lose Ren Xiaonian, a big client.
In short, with the reputation and treatment of their Quanjin Law Firm, it is easy to find excellent lawyers. There are many lawyers outside who want to come in, but it is not so easy to find super-rich clients like Ren Xiaonian who have to sue every now and then. If Quanjin Law Firm really loses Ren Xiaonian, a big client, other law firms will quickly win him over, and it will be too late to regret it. Just when Feng Yin was about to say something, Luo Bin knocked on the door, walked into the office from outside and said with a smile:
“Boss!”
"Luo Bin, you came just in time!"
Seeing Luo Bin coming in, Feng Yin picked up a document from his desk and handed it to him:
"Come and look at this!"
"OK!"
Taking the document from Feng Yin and taking a look at it, Luo Bin was slightly surprised and said:
"Ren Xiaonian, isn't he He Lu's client?"
"It's yours now!"
Feng Yin nodded slightly. Before Luo Bin could respond, Jose next to him immediately said:
"Luo Lu, I suggest you don't answer it!"
"Why?"
Hearing this, Luo Bin looked at Jose and asked with a smile:
"Will I die if I answer it?"
“I’ll be sick to death!”
Jose said directly. Seeing that he hated Ren Xiaonian, a big customer, so much, Luo Bin smiled and said:
"It's so exciting, I like it!"
Feng Yin knew that Luo Bin was different from Jose. He was not picky about his clients. He would like any big and wealthy client. He would do things for the money and help the client get things done perfectly. He would not base his likes and dislikes on the work. The client paid and he did the work. It was that simple. As for the question of whether the big client that Jose was considering was a gangster, what did that have to do with their law firm?
Work is work. Even a gangster has the right to hire the best elite lawyers to defend himself. In this real world, there is only one kind of people who are not qualified to hire elite lawyers like them, and that is the poor who cannot afford the lawyer fees. Justice also has a cost. If you don’t even have money, how can you want a luxury like justice?
Seeing that Luo Bin was willing to take over the job that originally belonged to Jose, Feng Yin felt relieved. He believed that Luo Bin would not let him down. At this time, he walked aside to answer the phone. Luo Bin sat on the sofa and looked at Ren Xiaonian's information. Jose sat down next to him and nagged:
"Ren Xiaonian, he is a villain!"
"Villains also have the right to hire lawyers!"
Luo Bin said without raising his head while carefully looking at Ren Xiaonian's information. Hearing him say this, Jose continued:
"I'll tell you what the villain will give you, he..."
"It will cost our law firm a huge sum of legal fees!"
Before Jose could finish, Luo Bin spoke for him. Jose was choked by him and nodded:
"Yes, he will give you a large sum of money, but is this money used to buy your soul?"
"Oh, so my soul is actually so valuable?"
After quickly reading the information in his hand, Luo Bin looked at Jose, and said with a smile:
"I didn't intend to answer it at first, but you said it so excitingly that I'm ready to answer it now! "
"Luo Lu, I'm not kidding you!"
Seeing Luo Bin's playful smile and his words as if he was joking, Jose felt that he was a little disrespectful of his own meaning, and couldn't help but said angrily. Although he knew that Jose was a little unhappy, Luo Bin still continued to stimulate him in a joking tone, smiling playfully:
"I'm not kidding you. Since you don't want to take on a big client like Ren Xiaonian, then just let me take over the job!"
"Luo Bin, could you please stop talking to me in a joking tone?"
Seeing that Luo Bin was still smiling, Jose couldn't help but said angrily:
"Let me tell you, you are a barrister, and I am also a barrister. We are equal. I don't like jokes. You are making fun of me like this. Aren't you showing some disrespect to me?"
"How could that be? You are a barrister, and so am I. We are equals. How could I not respect Attorney He?"
Seeing that Jose was getting angry with him, Luo Bin still maintained a somewhat frivolous smile and said:
"It's like this. I like to joke with people. If you don't let me joke with you, then don't you think you don't respect me a little bit?"
"you……"
Compared to the eloquent Luo Bin, Jose is always at a disadvantage. This is how they get along on weekdays. Jose doesn't like others making fun of him, but Luo Bin just likes to make fun of him, and then appreciates his angry look. To some extent, there is nothing wrong with Jose's feelings. Luo Bin just doesn't respect him a little and doesn't take him seriously. Luo Bin would never make fun of Feng Yin or Gu Ji. It can only be said that Jose is a kind person who is bullied. He and Luo Bin are not the same kind of people. His moral cleanliness is extremely ridiculous and childish in the eyes of Luo Bin, who pursues sophisticated egoism. Isn't he just a fool who doesn't want to make money?
By the same token, compared to Luo Bin, the boss of Quanjin Law Firm, Feng Yin, did not take Jose very seriously. Without waiting for Jose to refute Luo Bin, Feng Yin came over after answering the phone. He interrupted Jose directly and said:
"There used to be an intern in our law firm named Mai Fei. Does anyone know him?"
As soon as the seal was finished, Jose immediately replied:
"Lawyer Luo, he used to be Luo's intern, and now he's a salaried lawyer at Long Ke Law Firm. What happened to him?"
"In Ren Xiaonian's case, he was the plaintiff's attorney and demanded that Ren Xiaonian's company publicly admit that it had plagiarized the plaintiff's work, apologize, and compensate the plaintiff for 5 million yuan in losses!"
"I think his request is very reasonable. Ren Xiaonian's company plagiarized other people's work. Anyone who is not blind can tell at a glance whether Ren Xiaonian's company has plagiarized other people's work. The design is almost exactly the same. Can that be called drawing inspiration?"
As soon as Feng Yin finished talking about Mai Fei being the plaintiff's attorney and his litigation demands, Jose immediately agreed. After taking a look at Jose who had no opinion on his side, Feng Yin looked at Luo Bin and directly ordered:
"Luo Bin, go find Ren Xiaonian now, before he fires our law firm..."
"Let's fire him first!"
Jose interrupted, just glanced at him, and Feng Yin continued to look at Luo Bin and ordered:
"We can't lose Ren Xiaonian, this important client. Jose has offended him. You are responsible for solving the problem!"
"OK!"
Seeing that Feng Yin and Luo Bin completely rejected his opinion with just a few words, Jose said anxiously:
"Why, why can't we get rid of this rogue client Ren Xiaonian?"
"Because he's rich!"
Seeing that Jose was still nagging beside him, Luo Bin directly stated the reason. All along, the reason why Luo Bin couldn't stand him was that Jose and he were really not the same kind of people. Jose was not short of money at all, so he didn't care much about money. Because Jose's father was a well-known law professor of the master level, he participated in the formulation of many laws, and his students were all over the world. Even Feng Yin was a student of Jose's father, and there were many people in the court who were his students. It can be said that Jose's network resources are extremely deep, which is something Luo Bin cannot compare to.
In fact, the two of them envy each other for what the other has. Jose is very envious of Luo Bin's personal abilities. He works as a lawyer in Quanjin Law Firm in the hope of proving himself, proving that he is Jose, not just his father's son.
But others would not think so. Unless Jose could achieve great success, otherwise, others would only remember him as the son of a legal giant rather than himself. Luo Bin and Feng Yin also thought so. Otherwise, if he dared to offend the clients of the law firm and even fired them, would Feng Yin, as the boss of Quanjin Law Firm, still speak to him so politely?
"rich?"
Hearing Luo Bin say that Ren Xiaonian is very rich, Jose said angrily:
"So what if he's rich ? Being rich doesn't mean he's righteous, does it?"
Seeing that Jose could still say such naive words, Luo Bin smiled and said while calling his secretary Lina:
"That's why he needs us to represent him. It doesn't matter whether he represents justice or not, because we do!"
Hearing what Luo Bin said, Jose was choked speechless, and Feng Yin was holding back his laughter beside him. Because of Jose's identity, everyone in the law firm was polite to him. Only Luo Bin didn't care about him and could control him. Because of this, compared to others, Jose cared more about Luo Bin's attitude towards him. This is probably what it means when you can never get it, it's true love.
After Luo Bin informed Li Na to help him make an appointment with Ren Xiaonian, the matter was decided. Luo Bin and Jose left the sealed office one after another. As Ren Xiaonian's legal advisor not long ago, Jose had a conversation with him that was not very pleasant for both of them. He also knew that Li Na was going on a business trip today, but unexpectedly, Li Na still helped Luo Bin make an appointment with Ren Xiaonian.
Jose has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He would feel very uncomfortable if he had questions in his mind that were not answered. However, Luo Bin refused to tell him why Li Na was able to make an appointment with Ren Xiaonian, who was originally going on a business trip, so quickly. Therefore, he had to go to Li Na in person to ask her. When he found Li Na printing documents in the information room, Jose said seriously:
"Lina, I want to ask you a question!"
"Why do I know Ren Xiaonian's flight number?"
Without Jose asking, Lina helped him to say it. Jose nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, why?"
"Because I asked his assistant!"
"Then why would his assistant tell you?"
"Because I'm Lina!"
"I want to ask you another question!"
Li Na looked up at Jose and said directly:
"You are a lawyer who deserves respect from others. Ren Xiaonian doesn't realize your value. That's his loss!"
Jose felt very comfortable hearing Lina praising him like this, but after a while he became suspicious:
"Are you speaking the truth?"
"You care too much about how other people treat you!"
"No, I don't care. I just hate it when people misunderstand me. I especially hate it when Luo Bin misunderstands me. He always misunderstands me!"
After Lina finished printing the information, she walked out of the information room with her hips swaying. Jose followed her and kept nagging:
"Luo Bin always likes to make fun of me. I am a person with principles and bottom lines, but he always portrays me as a very ridiculous person, and then he makes fun of me, and these jokes he makes about me are completely based on misunderstandings of me. Do you understand what I am saying?"
"I understand. You are a person with principles and bottom lines. It was Luo Bin who misunderstood you. I'll talk to him later!"
Walking to the front desk of the law firm, without waiting for Jose to say anything more, Lina took a cup of coffee from the counter and handed it to him, saying:
"Drink your Americano while it's hot. I'm leaving now. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
…
At the same time, on the twelfth floor of the same building, in Tengfei Capital, Yuan Xudong's office locked the door from the inside and drew all the blinds. Yuan Xudong sat behind his desk, holding the somewhat unhappy Xu Le and said with a smile:
"LeLe, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
"It's all because of you. It's all your fault. It's all your fault!"
"How did I provoke you?"
Looking at Xu Le who was snuggling in his arms and acting like a spoiled child, Yuan Xudong was a little confused. Seeing him like this, Xu Le rolled his eyes and said angrily:
"You asked the Human Resources Department to recruit a female college student who returned from studying in Belgium to be the company's president's secretary. What should I do?"
"Are you talking about Chen Ruoyun?"
Yuan Xudong pretended to be enlightened. He hugged Xu Le who was still angry with him and explained:
"She's the daughter of a friend of mine. I promised her that she would work as a secretary in my company after graduation. I can't go back on my word, can I?"
"Then what should I do?"
"You are the assistant and she is the secretary. You two should not interfere with each other, okay?"
At this point, Yuan Xudong hugged Xu Le and pecked her cheek gently, saying with a smile:
"I asked you to follow Shen Mingbao to learn how to invest in excellent companies. How are you doing?"
"It's just so-so, I don't really like these!"
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Xu Le hugged his neck with both hands and said shyly:
"I'll just stay in your office and be your assistant. Let Mr. Shen and the others take care of the investment. What do you think?"
"Okay, then you can be a pretty vase and I'll take care of you, okay?"
"No, you are the vase!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say that she was a pretty vase, Xu Le couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong smiled evilly and said:
"Le Le, do you think anyone in the company is gossiping about you?"
"What do you think?"
Xu Le rolled his eyes at Yuan Xudong and pouted a little aggrievedly:
"They even said I seduced you, really..."
"Didn't you seduce me?"
Looking at Xu Le in a black OL uniform, Yuan Xudong raised a wicked smile. Before Xu Le could get angry, Yuan Xudong kissed her directly. He blocked her cold lips with his warm lips. Xu Le whimpered a few times, then hooked her hands around his neck tightly, responding to Yuan Xudong enthusiastically...
After a long time of parting their lips, a trace of lust flashed in the eyes of Yuan Xudong and Xu Le. Looking at the soft Xu Le, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but put the girl on his desk. He stood up and pushed the girl down on the desk, then leaned over...
"No, not here..."
