"Hey Fa, your car is pretty good."
"Oh, it's just an ordinary car for getting around, nothing to mention."
manager:……
Then, the manager acted as a human navigator, leading Xiaofa to a bar by West Lake.
The two had a very pleasant conversation and almost became sworn brothers, if the manager hadn't gotten too drunk.
Finally, it was the bar staff who woke them up as they were preparing to close.
The manager and Xiao Fa woke up groggily, paid the bill, and left the bar.
You can't drive after drinking in the middle of the night.
"Xiao Fa, just find a budget hotel for the night, and go straight to work tomorrow."
"No need for a manager, I have a small house nearby, we can go and stay there."
Manager: ...You sprayed me all over the face, and I'm sober now.
Xiao Fa led the manager along West Lake for less than ten minutes before arriving at Xiao Fa's apartment.
Looking at the house, which was at least 200 square meters, the manager's lips twitched.
"Xiao Fa, is this the little house you were talking about?"
"Oh, it's just an ordinary house, nothing special."
"No, Fabregas, your family is so rich, why are you still working?"
"Manager, I started working here because of my ideals. You can't expect me to study law for so many years and then go home to be a landlord, can you?"
Manager: ...Damn, being a landlord is my ideal job!
"Okay, stop talking, I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack if I hear it."
"By the way, manager, I was thinking about this at the bar just now. I think we can meet with the other party and her lawyer in person tomorrow. They happen to be in this area."
"That makes sense. Hey? Weren't you sleeping at the bar just now?"
"Manager, you were drunk. After you passed out, I drank another bottle. I only fell asleep because I was too tired."
"Okay, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
"Good night. Please pick any room you like. There are clean bedding in the closet. There is a cleaning service that comes to clean here every week."
The manager thought about the small 40-square-meter apartment he rented for several thousand yuan every month and couldn't help but sigh, "Some people go to work for their ideals, while others go to work... just to earn money to pay rent for landlords like you."
The next day, the manager and Xiao Fa went to Zhang Meili's company.
"Hello, we're looking for Ms. Zhang Meili."
"Okay, just a moment, I'll call them for you."
After a while, Zhang Meili and Ye Qian came out together.
"Hello Ms. Zhang Meili, we are from Taobao's legal department. May we have a chat?"
Before Zhang Meili could speak, Ye Qian spoke first.
“I am Ms. Zhang Meili’s lawyer. You can talk to me directly about anything.”
Just as the manager was about to speak, Xiao Fa suddenly stepped forward.
"You're Ms. Zhang Meili's lawyer?"
The manager had a bad feeling. Could this young man be so impatient? He hoped he wouldn't swear.
"Yes, it's me."
"I'm the person you spoke to on the phone yesterday."
"Okay, I understand. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I think your response yesterday was absolutely brilliant. Can we add each other on QQ and discuss academic issues sometime?"
Xiao Fa's words left the other three people present completely dumbfounded.
Wait, what's going on? This is supposed to be a "finding trouble" series, how did it suddenly turn into a social gathering?
Also, Fabregas, could you please tone down that expression? You don't need to make that lecherous face when you see a pretty girl.
Ye Qian was also taken aback.
"Um, well, I don't use QQ, I use Mixin."
"Okay, just a moment, I'll download it right away."
Xiao Fa took out his iPhone, immediately downloaded MiXin, quickly registered, and then showed the QR code to Ye Qian.
Ah, this...
Since they had already gone to such lengths, Ye Qian felt embarrassed to refuse, so she took out her phone and added Xiao Fa as a friend.
The manager couldn't stand it anymore. He felt like he was accompanying his mentally challenged son on a blind date.
"Ahem, well, Xiao Fa, let's get down to business first."
"Oh, right, Ms. Zhang, it's like this. We didn't have a clear conversation on the phone yesterday, so we wanted to come and talk to you in person to see what your needs are. You can tell us directly."
"I don't have any demands. I'm just venting about my daily life online. Does Taobao have to interfere with that? Aren't you meddling too much?"
This is what Ye Qian taught Zhang Meili to say: if Zhang Meili compromises with Taobao and states her demands, then Taobao can manipulate Zhang Meili, accusing her of maliciously spreading rumors that Taobao is only seeking profit.
However, if Zhang Meili says she has no demands and is just posting about what happened on Weibo, then it's a normal behavior and there's no risk involved.
The manager and Xiao Fa exchanged a glance and understood each other perfectly. This was definitely taught by Ye Qian. Such a competitor is the most troublesome because she knows all your tricks.
Xiao Fa continued speaking.
"Ms. Zhang, it's like this. We are very sorry about the quality problem with the product you bought from the Taobao self-operated store. So we've come to apologize to you."
"You've already apologized and refunded the amount I paid for the goods, so I've forgiven Taobao."
Seeing that Xiaofa was losing one after another, the manager had no choice but to step in himself.
"Um, Attorney Ye, right? How about we talk?"
Ye Qian gave a cold laugh.
"What are you talking about?"
"Let's discuss what price we need to pay to get Ms. Zhang to delete her Weibo posts."
When Ye Qian heard the other party speak so directly, she knew she had encountered a seasoned veteran.
"There's not much to talk about. Let me introduce myself first. I'm Ye Qian, the deputy director of the legal department at Xingchen Technology."
The manager immediately understood.
"Okay, then we've disturbed you. We'll take our leave now."
The manager then pulled Xiaofa away.
Back in the car, Xiao Fa asked, puzzled.
"Manager, why did you leave as soon as she introduced herself?"
"Hey, Xiao Fa, you're new to this job, there are some things you don't understand yet."
"Manager, could you tell me about it? I'll treat you to dinner."
"Okay, then I'll tell you about it. Alibaba and Xingchen Technology have been fighting for so long. Although they haven't gone to court, our legal department has still managed to thoroughly investigate the other side's legal department."
Xingchen Technology's legal department is quite interesting; the director is a medical student, while the deputy director is a law student.
"Huh? The head of the legal department studied medicine?"
"That's right. Although this director studied medicine, she comes from the legal world. Also, this deputy director got into Xingchen Technology because of her. Most importantly, she is the childhood sweetheart of Lin Chen, the CEO of Xingchen Technology."
"Oh, I see. The person who came today is the deputy director you mentioned."
