Chu Jiang also took out his phone and dialed Uncle Li's number directly.
"Hello! I am lawyer Li Xiuming. May I ask who you are?"
"Uncle Li, it's me. Do you remember me?"
Li Xiuming was taken aback at first, but then he recognized the other person's voice.
"You must be Jiang Yi?"
"Yes, you still remember me."
"Of course I remember. I gave you both my business cards during the Chinese New Year, but you never added me on WeChat. I thought you had stopped adding me."
"No way, we were afraid of disturbing your work. My sister and I both put your number in our notes. We only dare to bother you if there's something we can't solve."
Li Xiuming understood the implication: "Did you encounter something difficult when you called me this time? Should I call the chairman over to take the call?"
"No need! It's just a small matter. Don't tell my father about it. He's already busy enough. I don't want to trouble him further."
"You are such a filial and well-behaved child. The chairman will be very happy to know. Jiang Yi, if you encounter any difficult problems that you cannot solve, just let me know."
Chu Jiang chuckled, "Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Speak your mind directly."
Chu Jiang didn't stand on ceremony and directly explained his predicament.
After hearing this, Li Xiuming was stunned for a moment. "Jiang Yi, why are you investigating this girl named Xi Ran? Did she offend you?"
"No, I just feel sorry for her and want to help her. I don't know what happened to her family. An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl can't even solve the most basic problem of food and clothing. What are her parents doing to let a girl go hungry? I heard that her family owes a lot of money."
Li Xiuming was very puzzled, but he still voiced his thoughts.
“If this girl’s family is really that poor, the university should provide a poverty subsidy. Didn’t you just say that she is the top scorer in the province? She should be eligible for a scholarship. Jiang Yi, you can’t judge a book by its cover. I hope you can be discerning in your judgment.”
“She does receive scholarships, but somehow it hasn’t changed her life or made things any better for her. Uncle Li, you’ve misunderstood. We’re just ordinary friends. I felt sorry for her because she’s such a thin girl. I just wanted to know what happened to her family and why they owe so much debt.”
"I know that you lawyers can easily investigate someone, so I'm asking you for help. I hope you can use your professional connections to investigate. Don't tell my dad about this, so he won't get anxious and upset."
"Alright then, give me three days. I'll check the case. If this girl named Xi Ran's family owes a lot of money, the court will definitely accept the case. I'll send the results directly to your phone then."
"From what you just said, this girl's family is local, so it won't be too troublesome to investigate. At most, we can find out the whole story in three days. Just wait for the news."
"Thank you very much for your help, Uncle Li. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
Li Xiuming laughed heartily, "That won't be necessary. You've come over to treat me to dinner. I'm afraid I can't keep your investigation of that girl a secret from the chairman."
"Uh! Then I won't thank you enough."
"No need to be so polite. I am the Chu Group's in-house lawyer. Serving the Chu Group is my responsibility. I'm paid to do my job, so don't stand on ceremony!"
Thanks! Bye!
"Bye-Bye!"
Chu Jiang also hung up the phone and looked in the direction of the girls' dormitory. He would soon be able to learn everything about Xi Ran's family through special channels.
Although what he did was unethical, he didn't regret it.
Seeing Xi Ran living so cautiously every day, he felt extremely sorry for her and wanted to know what had happened in her family.
This is the most direct method.
