Ji Tong understands her mother and isn't a gossipy person.
To know so much about the Miyani family, she either has connections there, has handled related cases, or the matter has become very serious.
Ji Tong's social circle is small; the only person who might know something is Xu Wan.
She glanced at the time, stopped making a phone call, and instead sent a message.
Ji Tong: [Wanwan, how much do you know about the Gong Yanli family?]
She thought Xu Wan would be asleep by now, but to her surprise, she received a reply from Xu Wan less than half a minute after sending the message.
Xu Wan: [I don't know much about Dr. Gong's situation, but I guess his family is probably well-off.]
Xu Wan thought for a moment before sending the message.
All she knew was that Gong Yanli's family was well-off; otherwise, she really knew nothing.
When Ji Tong saw that Xu Wan had replied to his message, he immediately called her for a voice chat.
After the call connected, she asked, "Wanwan, what are you doing?"
“I’m busy.” Xu Wan paused and explained, “I resigned from Tianyuan. Tingzhou suggested that I start my own law firm. At the time, I was mainly thinking about finding cases. But now I realize that there are too many things to do to set up a law firm. In addition to choosing a location and decorating style, there are also some rules and regulations. I can only start recruiting people after everything is settled.”
"You want to open your own law firm?" Ji Tong said without even a second's hesitation. "Then I'll quit my job and come help you. After all, my family owns a law firm. I've grown up in law firms every day since I was a child. Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run. I can help you in some way."
"No need. My law firm is just starting out, and we don't know how well it will turn out. You have a stable job at Tianwei, a good income, and you don't have to work overtime. My working hours here might be irregular."
Ji Tong is Xu Wan's best friend.
She didn't want Ji Tong to help her.
She understood Ji Tong's personality. She had never suffered hardship or worried about money since childhood. Later, when she came to Tianwei as a legal counsel, no matter what the job was like, she could at least be guaranteed two days off a week.
If Ji Tong came to her law firm, as a friend, she would give her some work with tight deadlines, and she would probably feel even more embarrassed to ask her to work overtime.
Ji Tong realized something. "Are you afraid that I'll have a spoiled princess temper and cause trouble instead of helping? No way! The people you hire now might not be as useful as me."
Xu Wan adjusted her posture before saying, "Actually, I'm mainly afraid of losing you as a friend. After all, I used to be a lawyer, and this is my first time running a law firm. There are many things I don't know, and I might take detours or do useless work. I can manage on my own, but I feel bad about dragging you along too."
She didn't have many friends growing up.
Therefore, it is especially cherished.
She was genuinely afraid that the two of them would part ways after working together.
“Well then, law firms need an official account on each platform. They can occasionally post some simple cases to popularize the Civil Code. I helped my family's law firm with this when I was in college. I can do it for you.” Ji Tong explained, “I won’t quit my job. I’ll just do it for you occasionally in my spare time. Once you find a suitable person, I’ll hand it over to him.”
Xu Wan also considered social media accounts.
Tian Yuan only has a PC homepage and no other accounts, but he is famous and doesn't need them.
Xu Wan's law firm has just been established. Although the number of clients coming through platform accounts is extremely limited, she still needs such accounts to increase its visibility.
Since Ji Tong had put it that way, Xu Wan expressed her gratitude first.
Regardless of whether Ji Tong helped her later, she was happy that he had this intention.
After finishing their work-related conversation, Ji Tong finally told Gong Yanli about her situation, looking distressed. "After I told her, I guessed my mom would be suspicious, but I didn't expect her to immediately realize I was lying to her. In my panic, I confessed everything. I never imagined that someone who wants me to get married tomorrow would actually disagree?"
"Why?"
“My parents seem to know about his family, and they said things like there’s a big difference between them.”
Ji Tong gave a brief summary.
Xu Wan understood that Ji's mother was worried about the gap between the two families and that her daughter would be mistreated after marrying into the family. She said, "I think Dr. Gong is at least a very charming person. Your mother might change her opinion after meeting him."
“That’s true.” Ji Tong paused for a few seconds before speaking, “I told my mom that I’m determined to marry him. If she doesn’t agree, that’s fine too, then I won’t have to go on blind dates anymore!”
