Gu Nianzhi looked at Xiao Zhang's hand at the front desk and said silently: "..."
Jin Dazhuang came over holding a health thermos cup with wolfberry soaked in it, and said slowly: "I'll go with you. You've already sent out the bidding documents, right?"
"Sent, they have received it." Gu Nianzhi picked up the coffee Xiao Zhang made for her and took a sip. "This is a copy. After they receive it, they will screen it based on the content of the bid. If they are shortlisted, they will be sent out today and tomorrow. got a call."
On this day, all three of them had no intention of working and had been anxiously waiting for the call.
Finally, before getting off work in the afternoon, Xiao Zhang at the front desk received a call from the Lu Group as he wished.
"Lawyer Gu! Lawyer Jin! We are shortlisted! We will go to the site to bid tomorrow!" Xiao Zhang at the front desk jumped and screamed, extremely happy.
Gu Nianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of water, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm so nervous that I don't even dare to drink water. I'm afraid that drinking too much water will delay answering the phone."
"Then you can't drink water tomorrow, otherwise it will be bad if you miss the on-site bidding." Xiao Zhang took the water cup from Gu Nianzhi seriously, "Put it here with me, and I will return it to you after you pass."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She knew well that as long as no one interfered, there would be no problem getting a small contract.
…
At nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, Gu Nianzhi and Jin Dazhuang, wearing their best suits and carrying laptops, came outside the large conference room of the Lu Group on the 30th floor, waiting for interviews with group personnel.
They were the smallest law firm and ranked last among all the law firms bidding on the spot.
From nine o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Nianzhi and Jin Dazhuang were called in.
The people inside who were in charge of on-site bidding were already staggering from exhaustion and didn't want to listen to them at all.
The bald male supervisor sitting in the middle frowned as he looked at the tender documents from Jin Law Firm and muttered: "...Why are there strange things sneaking in...How does the legal department screen? This sesame-sized and mung-bean-sized thing... Law firms also come to our company to bid for business, are they not taking our Lu Group seriously?"
Gu Nianzhi coughed softly and said, "Sir, your microphone is on."
So his "murmur" was heard by everyone.
There was a burst of awkward laughter in the conference room.
The bald male supervisor actually did it on purpose. He didn't expect these two people to be so ignorant. He shook their bid documents impatiently and said, "Your law firm is so small, how did you think of bidding for our business? Did you make a mistake somewhere? ? Why don’t you go back first and I’ll go check with the department responsible for screening bids?”
Damn it! Mistaken? !
Everyone has been waiting for a day. Are you telling me that you made a mistake
Gu Nianzhi was about to get angry when suddenly the door of the conference room was pushed open and Lu Yuan walked in slowly and said gently: "I just have some time, come and listen to the bidding scene."
"The road is always good!"
"Mr. Lu!"
"Mr. Lu, sit here!"
“The road always calls for tea, or does it mean coffee?”
The supervisors in charge of the bid defense of the Lu Group were so excited that they gathered around to flatter their big boss.
When Gu Nianzhi saw Lu Yuan coming in, he swallowed down his anger.
There is a long way to go, and these people can't be lazy even if they want to.
Sure enough, the bald male supervisor changed his behavior and asked enthusiastically: "Kim Law Firm, which one of you is the author of this tender document?"
Gu Nianzhi stood up and said, "It's me. Do you have anything to ask?"
Just as the bald male supervisor was about to speak, Lu Yuan stretched out his hand, took Gu Nianzhi's bidding document from his hand, and said, "Let me take a look."
The big boss wanted to question him personally, and the supervisors in the room could only hold their breath.
Lu Yuan looked at it for a while and then asked: "Lawyer Gu, right? Your law firm is so small, and it doesn't seem to be in line with the professional functions our company needs in terms of law."
The bald male supervisor next to him heard this and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, I just said that. Whether it is intellectual property rights, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, or infringement litigation, they have no experience in this area. We just bid for defense. The four major law firms in China all have their own strengths. In fact... "
Gu Nianzhi was well prepared and immediately interrupted their conversation and asked calmly: "In your company's eyes, does only intellectual property, or cross-border mergers and acquisitions, and infringement litigation count as legal business?"
"Isn't it?" The bald male supervisor looked at Gu Nianzhi with a smile, "Do you want us to use your skills in divorce lawsuits? Little girl, are you married? If you are not married, you always help people fight divorce cases. If you file a lawsuit, you won’t be able to find a target!”
Gu Nianzhi was furious. How could he have the nerve to say such a strong personal attack? !
Although Gu Nianzhi was angry, he remained calm. He took out his business card, placed it in front of the bald male supervisor, and said calmly: "It's easy to talk, I think you will need to see us soon, I'll give you a call." 20% off.”
The bald male supervisor was stunned for a moment before he understood what Gu Nianzhi meant. He couldn't help but became angry and said, "Hey! How can you curse people! I just said something to you, and you cursed me for divorce like this?!"
He threw Gu Nianzhi's business card to the ground.
Gu Nianzhi bent down to pick it up and said nonchalantly: "Okay, then your wife will come to me for a divorce lawsuit and I will give her a 20% discount."
"You!" The bald male supervisor was completely angry. He stood up and waved his arm vigorously: "You! Get out!"
Just tell Gu Nianzhi to get lost.
Gu Nianzhi knew that Lu Yuan was not the kind of person who looked down on others, so he turned his gaze away, "Mr. Lu, are you chasing me too?"
Lu Yuan smiled and apologized to her: "Lawyer Gu, I'm really sorry. It's our fault for making you feel wronged."
He looked at the bald male supervisor who had lost his composure, with a heavy look in his eyes: "You, get out." (You are the one who should get out.)
The president and chairman of the board spoke, and the bald male supervisor was almost scared to death.
He walked out of the conference room almost in despair. He couldn't figure out why he was so irritated by the little girl's words. '
He must be too tired, it must be...
But for this small law firm, he had to take good care of them.
In the large conference room, Gu Nianzhi was talking eloquently.
"Mr. Lu, I know that our law firm is indeed very small, but being small has its advantages. Our business is close to people's livelihood and has a close relationship with ordinary people."
"What we are good at is dealing with ordinary people, and we understand their needs and demands."
"As far as your large company is concerned, you don't need a divorce lawyer to help you litigate, but you do need labor arbitration. I studied your company's legal structure and found that you are lacking in labor arbitration."
"In terms of labor law, our lawyer Jin is a real expert. He has personally helped many dismissed employees conduct well-founded labor arbitrations. It can be said that he is no worse than any major law firm."
"On the contrary, because of the fees charged by large law firms, this kind of small labor arbitration will not be looked upon in their eyes. Ordinary employees cannot afford to hire large law firms, but we can provide the same high-quality services as those of large law firms. , but the charges are only a fraction of theirs.”
"So I believe that if you sign our law firm as a contract law firm, it can help you solve many labor problems. Your HR can also consult our law firm as much as possible in terms of employment and personnel."
After Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, he placed another more detailed bid document in front of Lu Yuan, "Mr. Lu, this is the detailed bid document I made. There are data comparisons in it, please refer to it."
The tender document is not long, only three pages, but the data is detailed and the argument is powerful. It does not take a legal professional to see the weight of this tender document.
Tender documents written with this kind of thinking mode have a very high bid winning rate even if they bid for the business of international large companies.
Lu Yuan was already very satisfied, but he still said lightly: "Lawyer Gu, I remember you just said that you drafted this tender document?"
"Yes, I wrote it all, and every punctuation mark is original." Gu Nianzhi spread his hands playfully, "Copyright is reserved, and any plagiarism will be investigated."
Lu Yuan raised his head with a smile, and the lines at the corners of his eyes were even more charming, "... But this tender document really doesn't look like it could have been written by someone who just graduated. Forgive me for asking, has Lawyer Gu had similar work experience before? ?”
Whether you have work experience or not, your performance during the interview is completely different.
Just like virgins and non-virgins behave completely differently on their wedding night.
An experienced man can tell this at a glance.
Gu Nianzhi suffocated for a moment and chose not to say anything: "I'll tell you this question when I get the chance in the future, okay?"
"Okay, I'll wait and see." Lu Yuan stood up and said to other supervisors in the conference room: "I think they are good, but we are indeed lacking in this area. Their joining can fill the gap in this area."
He actually fully accepted what Gu Nianzhi said just now.
The supervisors understood immediately upon hearing this and hurriedly said, "Congratulations! You are the first contract law firm we have admitted. Come on, Lawyer Jin and Lawyer Gu, sign the contract here."
The big boss said it’s okay, they are not the fools they were just now, so what’s the benefit of going against the big boss
…
Gu Nianzhi and Jin Dazhuang simply floated back to the second floor.
Xiao Zhang at the front desk rushed over nervously, "Lawyer Gu, Lawyer Jin, how are you? Did you pass it?!"
"No... That's weird!" Gu Nianzhi shouted, and jumped up holding Xiao Zhang, "We are developed! We can recruit people! Xiao Zhang, you are the flower of the front desk!"
Xiao Zhang was also very happy, "I don't have to change jobs anymore! I want a promotion and a salary increase!"
Jin Dazhuang was so angry that his nose was crooked, "What a shame, you little Zhang! You dislike the poor and love the rich! Humph!"
The result made Gu Nianzhi and Xiao Zhang laugh even harder.
Jin Dazhuang was angry for a while, then smiled and said: "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. It's no wonder that Xiao Zhang thinks so. It's because I am stubborn and I admit my mistake. From now on, we must work hard together. Make the law firm bigger and stronger!”
There is good news for their law firms, and there is also good news for Lu Group.
A week later, Lu Group announced the good news of in-depth cooperation with Qin Group in cybersecurity, and was negotiating a new contract with the government to provide technical support for the country in cybersecurity.
Lu's shares rose in response, doubling their value a week later.
Of course the Lu Group has to celebrate such a big happy event.
Therefore, the group president's office announced that the group would hold a grand celebration. This meeting would not be held in City C, but in City H, known as the "Pearl of the Orient."
H City is a metropolis in southern China. It has Victoria Port, one of the three best deep-water ports in the world, and it is also a tourist city.
All three people from their law firm were invited.
"Lawyer Gu, are you going? It's a free trip!" Xiao Zhang at the front desk was particularly excited.
Gu Nianzhi originally didn't want to go. Her birthday was coming soon. She was in a low mood and had no energy to do anything. She said listlessly: "We'll talk about it then."
Xiao Zhang was browsing Weibo with an IPAD beside him, exclaiming from time to time: "The Lu Group is really generous! It invited so many celebrities!"
"There are many famous ladies..."
"Ah, look, this socialite is so elegant and beautiful! Let's see who she is..." Xiao Zhang supported the show by himself.
She patted Gu Nianzhi on the shoulder, "Lawyer Gu, look, Xie Qingying is Prime Minister Xie's niece! I heard that she was attending the Lu Group's celebration banquet on behalf of Prime Minister Xie!"
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat, "Who?!"
"Xie Qingying, she will go too!" Xiao Zhang showed Gu Nianzhi his Weibo.
Gu Nianzhi looked at Xie Qingying's graceful figure in an evening dress on Weibo's popular post, and her heart was burning.
For this Xie Qingying, she had to go!
Finally got a chance to approach the Xie family quietly...
