The structure of Southern Cross Law Firm is the most common one under the current rules and regulations. Based on the premise of cooperation in basic affairs, the lawyers in the firm are relatively independent. Therefore, they have nothing to do with each other when they work. One person has a large office that belongs to him completely. When the door is closed, other people can be isolated from the outside, and there is no special situation. Generally, they will not be disturbed.
Yan Suizhi has been accustomed to this office environment of "pretend to be blind and deaf, don't bother me" for many years.
But Miss Fitz didn't know, so before moving things into the office, Miss Fitz specially pulled him aside and whispered, "It's really hard to be in the same room as a barrister, new interns will I'm a little nervous, I understand it too well. Last year, a young gentleman didn't even dare to go to the bathroom on his first day. I remember seeing him at noon and his face turned green. I asked him why and he said the office was closed. And quiet, he was afraid that he would make a slight movement under the teacher's eyelids to attract attention."
"Willpower is admirable." Yan Suizhi praised.
"Don't laugh." Miss Fitz continued: "In the future, maybe you will spend more time out with lawyer Gu than staying in the office, but I hope you can still feel a sense of belonging here, even though you The desk is not as big as that of Lawyer Gu, but it is your office, and at least one-third of the site belongs to you, you can use it at will, don’t be restrained, and be confident.”
I don't know if she realized it herself, but Yan Suizhi felt that when she said those words, her tone was as if she was giving elegiac couplets.
However, it was obvious that Miss Fitz was overthinking it, and Yan Suizhi was not only very righteous, but also almost turned against customers.
He always subconsciously thinks that this is his office, he is sitting in the seat of the barrister, and the student Gu who is drinking coffee with a cold face in front of him is the one who is blind and comes back to block himself. intern.
So much so that he wanted to open his mouth several times to assign tasks to the other party. Fortunately, he responded quickly enough, and every time he came back to his senses when he opened his mouth, he stopped and closed his mouth calmly.
He blames the reaction on the coffee being too hot, the white mist that makes the cup easily deserted, and… the style of the office is too familiar.
At first glance, it looks like his dean's office, and it's not far from his barrister's office in Nanlu.
Yan Suizhi glanced at the panorama, and felt a strange sense of relief in his heart.
Although the teacher-student relationship is not very good, there is still an inner inheritance. Look, isn't aesthetics passed down
He smiled brightly, and was about to say that the arrangement was good, but just opened his mouth, before he could spit out a word, Gu Yan had put down the coffee cup, and said the first sentence in a condescending manner: "I didn't accept an internship. plan to live."
His voice is very nice and his tone is extraordinarily calm. If the content is ignored, it is easy for people to have the urge to "want to hear a few more words from him".
But it was not the first day that Yan Suizhi knew him, and he had basically reached a state of physiological immunity to this kind of illusion.
What's more, the content of his words is simply impossible to ignore.
No plans to accept interns? Coincidentally, I thought so too. In fact, you can refer me directly to any lawyer, as long as it is not with you, anywhere.
Yan Suizhi modified this sentiment and transformed it into a less irritating expression. Just as he was about to say it, Gu Yan turned the coffee cup with his fingers and said, "So before this, I didn't do anything for it. You have made any preparations for your arrival. It is said that there is an experience manual in the office, which describes in detail how to assign tasks to the interns, which can keep you busy and not add clutter. I have never read it. So , I can't guarantee you will be able to spend a normal internship period."
Yan Suizhi raised her eyebrows. She had a rare chance to hear Gu classmates say such long words in court. At first glance, they were all human words.
Of course, it's just human words, far from being pleasant. After all, the person who speaks has no expression, and his tone is still cool.
Yan Suizhi didn't have much interest in what he had to experience during the internship, or how Gu Yan planned to arrange it. Compared with the content of the words themselves, Gu Yan's well-spoken appearance made him feel more interesting.
but…
You can speak well to an intern who is forced to come over, how can you not have a good face to the direct teacher who you personally, solemnly, and thoughtfully choose
Yan Suizhi sighed in his heart. But it doesn't matter. Maybe if I change my identity and change my environment now, I can get along well with this student Gu, at least it's a good start.
However, this emotion did not last long, because the office light brain on his desk suddenly spit out a pile of holographic documents.
Attorney Gu was not a talkative character at first. The long paragraph of his just now was the limit of good words, so after a few words, he simply sent the intern handbook that Fitz had made in advance to Yan. Suizhi.
"Look first." Gu Yan said, "I will receive a communication."
Yan Suizhi dialed the holographic screen. Fortunately, the content of the manual is not as much as imagined, with little nonsense. It is relatively concise, and it is very suitable for the psychology of young interns, even a little lively. Indeed Miss Fitz's style.
The content of the internship and some regulations of the law firm were swept away by him.
In fact, he didn't read the entire manual carefully. After all, he wasn't really a newcomer, and he didn't really come here for an internship. He supported his head, flipped through the pages at will, and then his eyes stayed on the numbers in a certain row.
Salary during internship - 60 West per day.
For a student, what is the concept of 60 West, that is, just enough for three meals a day, don't even think about an extra child. However, this is also a common situation in the law firm of DeMarca, because everyone assumes that the interns come to the law firm in the early stage to basically add chaos.
A barrister's heart bleeds as he assigns a task to an intern. Because when you finish this, he will probably need to redo it again, and at the same time, he has to give you a correction opinion, which is equivalent to doubling the original workload.
Some of these interns who are just messing around have made outstanding contributions to increasing the probability of death from overwork for barristers.
You have caused trouble for me and brought my life in danger. Even if I don’t charge tuition fees, I have to pay you a lot of money. Is it a dream
The interns are also aware of this, so there is basically no objection to this kind of subsidized salary in the early stage. Anyway, there will always be a time to increase it in the future.
When Yan Suizhi saw the salary figures, he clicked his tongue in his heart and sighed for these poor students.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly remembered that he was one of the "poor students", he choked before he could breathe, and the cough was earth-shattering.
Just when he supported his head and breathed slowly, Gu Yan's voice came to a nearby place at some unknown time—
"A specific time and place?"
"Yaba Island?"
"Don't go."
He was still communicating with people, so he placed a glass with water on the intern's desk.
Yan Suiyi was stunned and looked up, thinking that this student Gu must have taken the wrong medicine and still care about people
As a result, Gu Yan tapped on the table with his fingers, his eyes dropped, and he said coldly, "I'm very curious about what is written in this manual, which makes you blushed and almost breathless."
"… "
Good, authentic and poisonous.
He didn't wear ear buttons, so the voice on the other end of the communication was released, but it was very quiet. When Yan Suizhi got closer, he could barely hear a few words.
"What?" a male voice asked. "Who are you talking to?"
Yan Suizhi felt that the other party's voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.
"Intern." Gu Yan said.
"Okay." The man said, "So you really don't come? I invite you so sincerely, don't you give me face? My family Geeta has followed."
Gu Yan's expression instantly became even more paralyzed.
Soon Yan Suizhi understood the reason for his change in expression: "You surf across planets and bring your dog that is afraid of water..."
The corner of Yan Suizhi's mouth twitched.
"What is a dog who is afraid of water? He goes to bed at two o'clock every night, and he is more punctual than you. It's not comfortable for such a godly dog to take me all day."
"… "
The other party was a fool, and he talked for a long time, as if he wanted to persuade Gu Yan to attend a banquet or something. However, Yan Suizhi couldn't hear the later content, because Gu Yan had already walked back to his desk.
After that, no matter what the other party said, he would simply end the topic with one or two words—
"Do not."
"No time."
"Appear in court."
Yan Suizhi thought for a while, but still felt that the other party's voice was a little familiar.
But he didn't remember who it was. Gu Yan had already cut off the communication and looked over, "Have you finished reading the manual? Do you have any questions?"
Yan Suizhi shook his head, and paused in the middle as if thinking of something: "Oh, wait a moment."
After speaking, he touched his ring smartphone, called up the interface of the asset card, glanced at the balance, and the feeling of suffocation came up instantly. He walked around the black market before, and he calculated the remaining money slightly, which was not enough for him to live for a week.
So he raised his head and smiled at Gu Yan, "I have a question."
Gu Yan raised his chin and motioned for him to continue.
"Can the salary be paid in advance?"
"… "
Gu Yan looked at him, and was silent for a moment with a blank face, and said, "You came to this question after looking at it for a long time?"
"Well..." Professor Rao, the big-tailed wolf Yan, also felt that his face was about to be unbearable.
Two seconds later, Gu Yan dialed out an internal communication with a calm expression on his face. He said, "Fiz, help me transfer three months' salary to this intern, and then ask him to go home directly."
Yan Suizhi: "..."
I thought I might get along well with classmate Gu, probably because I ate a bad meal overnight.
