Chapter 110 Pampered
Chi Jinjin returned to the office to work. The director came over and said, "Jinjin, wait a minute, come with me to meet a client. Let me tell you, this client is quite important. You have to treat him well later."
Chi Jinjin nodded.
After a while, she followed the director to a VIP-only reception room.
I pushed the door open and saw a mother and son sitting inside.
Chi Jinjin recognized the woman at a glance. She was Ms. Jian, one of the major shareholders of this law firm.
Chi Jinjin thought it was no wonder that the director said she was from a prominent family.
As for the boy next to him, who looked to be about nineteen or twenty, Chi Jinjin didn't know who he was.
"Hello, Miss Jian, this is Chi Jinjin, the most outstanding young lawyer in our firm." The director introduced her.
Chi Jinjin also took the initiative to greet, "Hello, Miss Jian."
The two shook hands and then sat down.
The boy next to me kept his head down playing games.
"Ms. Jian, Lawyer Chi is very good and will definitely be able to handle your professional needs. If you have any questions, please tell her and she will definitely be able to help you solve them perfectly."
"Okay, Director Xie, please bring the person to me. Since Lawyer Chi is here, you can go about your business." Ms. Jian said.
"Okay, you guys take your time chatting." The director tactfully stepped aside.
Ms. Jian took a sip of coffee and said, "I've heard about all the lawsuits, big and small, involving Miss Chi. Chi Jinjin, you are truly an excellent lawyer."
"Miss Jian, you are so kind." Chi Jinjin said modestly, and then asked, "I wonder what Miss Jian wants to talk to me about? Or do you... have a lawsuit to fight?"
Ms. Jian said, "Since Lawyer Chi has guessed it, I won't beat around the bush. This time, I'm here for my son."
She looked at the boy next to her.
It turned out that this boy was her son.
Ms. Jian said, "My son was young and naive. He was set up by a girl in his class and had sex with her. She is going to sue my son when she wakes up. I have heard about Lawyer Chi's work and have admired him for a long time, so I came here today to ask for his help."
Chi Jinjin asked the boy next to her, "Did you and that girl in your class have sex voluntarily?"
The boy did not answer and was still immersed in the game.
Ms. Jian touched him, and he moved his eyes to Chi Jinjin. He asked, "What did you just say?"
"I say, was the relationship between you and that girl in your class consensual?" Chi Jinjin asked again.
The boy nodded, "About the same."
"Almost?" Chi Jinjin explained, "Litigation is a very rigorous matter. If it's yes, it's yes, and if it's no, it's no. There's no such thing as probably, should, or almost to describe it."
"That's it." The boy said a little impatiently.
Chi Jinjin was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can you recount what happened that day?"
The boy said, "It was my birthday that day, and I invited her over. She drank a little and was a little tipsy, so I took her to the room, and then we did it."
"You mean, she was drunk and unconscious?" Chi Jinjin asked.
The boy replied, “Yeah.”
"Then how can you be sure that she did it voluntarily?" Chi Jinjin asked again.
The boy said, "I confessed to her in public, and she didn't reject me. I invited her to my birthday party, and she came, and she was wearing something really sexy that day."
"Just based on these, you think they are doing it voluntarily?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
The boy disagreed, "Isn't it true? She didn't volunteer, so why didn't she reject me? Why did she dress so provocatively on her birthday? Wasn't it just to seduce me and make a move on me?"
"Just because someone doesn't reject your confession doesn't mean they're willing to have sex with you, and just because someone wears something doesn't mean they're trying to seduce someone." Chi Jinjin said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Jian, I can't take your case."
"Lawyer Chi, I know my son is confused, but he is still young. Besides, how about we pay you three times the price?" Ms. Jian persuaded Chi Jinjin kindly.
Chi Jinjin was firm and said, "Even if you offer ten times the price, I will not take this case. Please find someone else."
Upon hearing this, Ms. Jian's previously kind expression gradually turned cold. She said, "Lawyer Chi, I saw all those news reports about you before. You even dared to take on murder cases. I thought you were a brave man, but I didn't expect you to be so timid."
Chi Jinjin said, "I'm not a brave man. I accepted them because, although they committed crimes, they all had great difficulties and were forced to do so. As for your son, do you think he had any reason to do so? He was just satisfying his own selfish desires. It's pure crime. The law is to uphold justice in the world. It's not a tool for me to make money, nor is it a shield for your son."
"Chi Jinjin!" Ms. Jian said sternly, "You know who I am. I call you Lawyer Chi to show you respect and ask you to help us with the lawsuit. I think highly of you. But don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Believe it or not, I will make you a jerk from this law firm!"
Chi Jinjin stood up, ripped off the work badge she was wearing, threw it in the other person's face, and said, "No need. From now on, this law firm has nothing to do with me."
She turned and walked out of the reception room.
The other party chased out and kept cursing at Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin was sitting at her desk, typing something on her computer.
"What's going on?" The director came over, confused.
Other senior executives from the institute also rushed over.
After hearing the whole story, everyone urged Chi Jinjin to apologize to the other party as soon as possible.
Chi Jinjin turned a deaf ear.
"Lawyer Chi!" The highest-ranking person in the firm said to her, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Jian, or don't blame me for firing you."
"No need." Chi Jinjin reached out and took the paper from the printer next to him and put it directly into his hand.
He looked down and saw that it was a resignation letter.
Chi Jinjin took the bag next to her and said, "I'll come back tomorrow to get the things. Goodbye everyone, see you later."
With that, she walked out.
Seeing her leave so casually, Ms. Jane was furious.
After Chi Jinjin returned, she lay on the balcony and sighed.
Nan Xuqiu came over and asked, "What's wrong? It seems like you're in a bad mood today."
"Nan Xuqiu." Chi Jinjin said, "I resigned."
"Yeah." Nan Xuqiu replied.
Just one, huh?
Chi Jinjin asked, "Aren't you curious why I resigned?"
"It's just a job. If you want to do it, you can do it. If you don't want to do it, you can quit it." Nan Xu Qiufeng said calmly, and then asked, "But now that you asked, I'm a little curious. So why did you resign?"
Chi Jinjin said, "There was a senior executive in our office whose son committed a crime and was sued. She wanted me to help them with the lawsuit, but I refused. She threatened to fire me, and I was so angry that I quit."
Nan Xuqiu said with a smile, "That sounds quite cool."
"What's so handsome about that? I'm kind of regretting it now..." said Chi Jinjin.
She asked, "Nan Xuqiu, am I a little impulsive? I finally got a job, and now everything is going smoothly, but I just quit it. Hey, I still have parents at home to support..."
Nan Xuqiu said, "Don't you still have me? I'll take care of you, your parents, and I think you're doing a great job."
"Am I considered spoiling myself by doing this? Is it bad..." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, saying, "So what if it's not good? If they are not satisfied, come and tell them to come to me. It's my responsibility that you have become spoiled."
"Yes, it's you. It's you who made me have such a bad temper." Chi Jinjin smiled in his arms.
Nan Xuqiu comforted her again, "Don't worry, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. With your impressive academic qualifications and what happened before, there will definitely be people vying for you."
"Thank you for your good wishes." Chi Jinjin said, but she was thinking in her heart, how is it possible.
However, the next day, Chi Jinjin was woken up by a phone call.
"It's Lawyer Chi Jinjin, right?" the other party asked.
Chi Jinjin replied dazedly, "Yes, it's me."
"Hello, I'm from Junqi Law Firm. We heard that you resigned there. We would like to ask if you are interested in joining our team. If so, let's meet later." the other party said.
As soon as Chi Jinjin heard Junqi, she became sober.
Junqi is the best law firm in the country. All the lawyers there are top-notch, and the undefeated Fang Zhengwen is one of them.
It actually wants to talk about itself!
Chi Jinjin quickly replied, "Okay."
Then he got up from the bed, ran into the bathroom, and started washing and changing clothes.
Nan Xuqiu leaned against the door, watching her hurriedly, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you going out to pick up money?"
Chi Jinjin took the bag next to her and said excitedly, "Nan Xuqiu, your mouth must be blessed, right? Junqi wants to hire me. Thank you for your auspicious words yesterday. I won't say anymore. I'm going over now!"
She ran forward for a while, then remembered something and ran back, grabbed his collar and pulled it down. Nan Xuqiu bent down, and Chi Jinjin stepped on his feet and kissed him on the face, saying with a smile, "Bye."
With that, she ran downstairs happily.
Nan Xuqiu touched the place she had kissed, walked forward, and said to her below, "Remember to eat breakfast."
"I know." Chi Jinjin replied as she walked out the door.
Chi Jinjin went to meet them, but unexpectedly Fang Zhengwen was there too.
Only then did she realize that it was Fang Zhengwen who recommended her.
It didn't take long before they decided to hire Chi Jinjin and even asked someone to help move things from Chi Jinjin's previous office.
It just so happened that Ms. Jian was there that day. Seeing that Chi Jinjin not only did not lose her job, but her job became even better, she was so angry that her face turned blue.
What made her even more headache was that the plaintiff's lawyer was actually Fang Zhengwen.
That day, Nan Xuqiu also went to attend the class.
In the end, Ms. Jane's side suffered a crushing defeat.
Fang Zhengwen looked at Nan Xuqiu in the audience, and Nan Xuqiu smiled faintly.
Later, people in the institute told Chi Jinjin that after she left, senior executives would sigh involuntarily whenever they saw the place where she used to work.
He also asked them to ask her if she had any intention of coming back.
To be honest, Chi Jinjin was still reluctant to leave some of her colleagues. She didn't blame the director and others for not speaking up for her that day. In today's society, finding a job is extremely difficult, and she can understand their concerns.
But she won't go back.
When Chi Jinjin was returning home from get off work and waiting for the bus, she happened to see an old man wearing a tattered striped T-shirt sitting by a flower bed and crying.
People hurried past him, only glancing at him briefly.
At this time, it started to rain heavily.
He still sat there indifferently with his head lowered.
Chi Jinjin opened the umbrella, slowly walked to his side, and shielded him from the rain.
"Hello." Chi Jinjin said.
The uncle slowly raised his head and looked at her. His face looked a little scary, very dark and without the luster of a normal person.
Like a dead tree that is about to die.
Chi Jinjin asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
The uncle said nothing.
At this time, Chi Jinjin's car also arrived.
She looked back at him and said, "I don't know why you're so sad, but if you have any legal difficulties, you can come to me and I can provide you with free consultation."
As she spoke, she took out a business card from her bag and handed it to the uncle.
The uncle took it hesitantly.
Chi Jinjin left the umbrella to him again and ran to the car in the rain.
The uncle stood up with an umbrella and a business card, looked at the bus leaving, and then looked down at the postcard.
The postcard read: Junqi Law Firm, Chi Jinjin.
"Chi Jinjin..."
The man recited slowly, and then the heavy rain suddenly stopped, and a ray of sunlight fell on the business card in his hand.
Chi Jinjin returned home and was surprised to find that Nan Xuqiu was at home.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Chi Jinjin asked in surprise.
Nan Xuqiu said, "Nothing happened, so I came back early."
"Today, stretch out your hand." Nan Xuqiu said.
Chi Jinjin obediently stretched out her hand.
Nan Xuqiu put something on her wrist. Chi Jinjin looked closely and found that it was a bunch of jasmine flowers.
"It's so beautiful." Chi Jinjin was so happy that she raised her hand to her nose and smelled it, and the fragrance of jasmine filled her face.
"Where did you buy it?" Chi Jinjin asked.
Nan Xuqiu replied, "I made this myself."
"You made it yourself." Chi Jinjin liked it even more when she heard it. She didn't expect Nan Xuqiu had this skill.
"Nan Xuqiu, I really love you to death!"
Chi Jinjin went forward and hugged him.
Nan Xuqiu hugged her back, touched her clothes, and asked, "Why are your clothes wet? Didn't you bring an umbrella?"
"I gave the umbrella to someone else." Chi Jinjin said.
Nan Xuqiu said, "If I had known earlier, I should have gone to pick you up."
"No need, it's just a little rain." Chi Jinjin said.
She saw the delicious food on the table and ran over to ask, "Did you buy all this for me?"
"Um."
"There are so many, they look delicious." Chi Jinjin took the fork next to her and was about to eat.
But Nan Xuqiu grabbed her hand and said, "Go take a hot bath, then come back to eat."
"Can I eat first?" Chi Jinjin turned around and acted coquettishly.
Nan Xuqiu tapped Chi Jinjin's head lightly and said, "No, you can."
"If you don't want to wash, I'll help you wash it." Nan Xuqiu said in her ear.
When Chi Jinjin heard this, she quickly ran upstairs.
Nan Xuqiu was smiling downstairs.
