Bai Shuang nodded repeatedly, "He is Mr. Stern. He just came from the United States. He does not understand Chinese. Our company accepted the commission and asked me to be his translator."
As she spoke, she introduced Gu Nianzhi to Stern next to her in English, and said that she was a barrister at a cooperative law firm of the famous Lu Group. If anything happened, just ask her to represent her.
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said hurriedly: "Bai Shuang, don't put a high hat on me. Lawyers have different professional directions, and the cases they handle are different. I don't know what kind of representation your client needs. If It’s an area I’m not familiar with, so I can’t take your case.”
Most people think that as long as they are lawyers, they can handle legal matters.
actually not.
There are so many laws in the country, how can any lawyer be proficient in all of them
Lawyers only specialize in one aspect. For example, criminal law lawyers handle business related to criminal law.
Those who specialize in economic law will handle cases related to economic disputes.
There are also people who are proficient in marriage and labor laws, such as Jin Dazhuang. Most of the cases he takes are divorce lawsuits and labor arbitrations.
You can also take on other aspects, but the quality of the work is much worse.
Furthermore, most lawyers charge by the hour. The more familiar the field, the less time required for preliminary preparation. You can directly enter the processing link and start billing.
Unfamiliar areas will take more time to prepare, which is not conducive to their profit ratio.
Of course, there are also unscrupulous lawyers who spend all their time charging fees. As a result, clients face higher bills.
And for such an expensive fee, the quality of work required is also high.
But in an unfamiliar field, it is difficult to do it satisfactorily the first time.
So the final result was a mess. This was a sign of bad luck. Very few lawyers do this kind of thing of "killing the goose that lays the goose to seize the egg."
Gu Nianzhi is just talking about her own experience. She is talented in criminal law litigation, and her research direction is also in criminal law. She has also fought lawsuits in this area. In the other world, she would not take on non-criminal law cases.
But after coming here, she entered Jin Dazhuang's small law firm and began to follow up on marriage law and labor arbitration law.
She is currently studying a tome of legal provisions.
Judging from the appearance of this American, he probably won't need the Chinese Empire's marriage law and labor arbitration law. As for criminal law, he can't just get into trouble with the police as soon as he comes to H City, right
So Gu Nianzhi didn't know if he could help him.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi's evasion, Bai Shuang hurriedly said: "He said he wanted to find a lawyer, but he didn't say which aspect specifically. I'm not familiar with the legal profession either. Anyway, you are also a lawyer and an industry insider. Even if you can't do it, when the time comes, Can you recommend a suitable law firm for him?"
Gu Nianzhi nodded and said with a smile, "That's no problem. If you need anything, you can call me or send me a message."
She pointed at Bai Shuang's cell phone and winked playfully.
Bai Shuang hugged her happily, "That's great! Thank you, Lawyer Gu!"
Stern watched silently, his face a little nervous.
He pushed Bai Shuang and said in English: "Are you done? I am starving." (Are you done? I'm starving.)
Bai Shuang let go of Gu Nianzhi and waved to her, "We're going to eat. We'll contact you later."
Gu Nianzhi waited until they entered before asking Lu Jian, who was standing next to her: "Mr. Lu, do you mind going in to eat?"
Lu Jin quickly said: "It doesn't matter to me, but if you don't want to go, we can change places."
Gu Nianzhi had just gotten off the plane and was actually a little tired. He just wanted to eat something and go back to sleep, so he was too lazy to look for another place.
"It's fine, Mr. Lu, if you don't mind. I heard the seafood here is good." Gu Ninzhi said as he and Lu Jin entered the gate of Longjingxuan.
In fact, it's not even lunch time yet, but there are an unusually large number of people coming here to eat.
There were people sitting in a circle in the front desk rest area waiting to get in, but Bai Shuang and the American said a few words to the young lady at the front desk and were ushered in quickly.
Maybe there is an appointment
Gu Nianzhi didn't care. After the people in front of her were sent to the rest area to wait, she walked up to the front desk and said to the lady there, "Hello, is there any room for lunch?"
She spoke authentic Chinese, and her words were clear and round, and she sounded like she was from the north.
The front desk lady lowered her head and typed on the computer, and said coldly in H City dialect: "Bei Mei, what do you mean?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She didn't know much about the dialect of H City, but it could be roughly told from her tone that her attitude was not very respectful.
Gu Nianzhi's drowsiness was driven away by her, and he immediately became energetic.
She thought that if she spoke English, the lady at the front desk of the restaurant might be more hospitable, because Bai Shuang and the American had received unusual hospitality from this lady at the front desk.
Is this because she speaks Northern Chinese, so the store is bullying customers
I took another look at the diners waiting for their meals in the rest area. Almost all of them were Chinese, and it seemed that they were all tourists from other places.
The white people who came in behind them were quickly ushered in.
Gu Nianzhi didn't believe that these people had already made appointments.
I suddenly realized that I was being discriminated against by my own people in China!
Damn, you are really looking down on others.
If Gu Nianzhi had to endure it, she would no longer be Gu Nianzhi.
Just as she was about to get angry, Lu Jin, who was standing next to her, pulled her over, stepped forward to block her, and said rudely to the front desk lady: "Take us in for dinner quickly, or I will file a complaint against you immediately."
"Don't pretend to me that you don't understand Northern Chinese. I investigated your restaurant when I came here. You have been promoting the study of Northern Chinese for three years. If you don't understand Northern Chinese, you can't work."
He still spoke Northern Chinese with a smooth accent.
The receptionist's heart trembled. She looked up in surprise and saw an unattractive middle-aged man standing in front of her. He frowned and looked impatient. He tapped lightly on the reception desk with one hand, revealing the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist. watch.
This bossy look made the front desk lady no longer dare to pretend not to understand. She narrowed her already small eyes and said enthusiastically in broken Northern Chinese: "How many seats do you want, Mr. Sen?"
"Two, by the window, with a view of the sea." Lu Jian was very rude, "We are hungry, food will be served immediately."
"Good place, good place, Ma Sang is here." She hurriedly asked a waiter to come over, "Johnson, take the two of you to the window seat of table A over there."
The little brother had a good temper. He smiled and bowed to them, "You two, follow me."
His Northern Chinese is much more authentic, at least better than that of the front desk lady.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Lu Jian was so powerful, so he didn't come forward.
Smiling, she sat next to the window with him.
The sea view outside the window came to my face, and the edge of the blue sea and sky could not be seen. A few seagulls were flying gracefully on the sea, and cruise ships were playing on the sea from time to time, creating white waves.
There are also large cruise ships and cargo ships entering the port, with their sails dotted and majestic.
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath, rested his chin on the small dining table in front of him, looked out the window and said, "It's so beautiful."
Lu Jin was very happy to see that she liked it here, and said, "I can reserve the location here, and you can come and eat whenever you want."
Then he said, "Don't be angry. We should complain when we should and let her look down upon others." He said that he was about to call the manager.
Gu Nianzhi hurriedly said: "No, don't keep it. I'll go back the day after tomorrow. Besides, you taught her a lesson just now. She's just a receptionist. It's not easy to make a living out there."
Lu Jin was stunned, looked at her silently for a while, then nodded, and asked seriously: "Ms. Gu, she calls you 'Beimei'. You are willing to make peace with such discriminatory and humiliating names. Do you often get called out?" Being bullied?"
Although Gu Nianzhi was not bullied often, and even if someone bullied her, she would fight back immediately, but she still had red eyes because of his unexpected words of concern.
She couldn't cry, she couldn't cry in front of strangers.
Gu Nianzhi held back her tears and tried her best to keep her eyes wide open to prevent the sourness from turning into tears.
Seeing how hard she was suppressing herself, Lu Jian heard a loud bang in his head, like a flood that destroyed a dam, and thousands of torrents poured out. He clenched the chopsticks involuntarily with one hand, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Is someone really bullying you?!" He couldn't help but yelled loudly.
The veins on his neck were exposed, and his eyes were red like a bloodthirsty beast.
His voice was so loud that half the people in the restaurant looked over curiously.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't care less about her sadness and tugged on his sleeves and whispered, "No, no one bullied me."
"No one bullies you, why do you look like you're about to cry?" Lu Jian also realized that his voice was too loud, and glared around with a tiger's face, "If you dare to look at me again, I will stare you to death." appearance.
His gaze was so penetrating, and his indifference and ruthlessness made people shudder.
The people around him quickly looked away, not daring to look at them anymore.
Gu Nianzhi was really speechless.
This Mr. Lu is completely opposite to his brother, President Lu Yuan, who has an all-around and impeccable style of dealing with things.
On the plane, if someone else only occupied his seat, he could reveal their old ways.
In the restaurant, the circles under her eyes were red, and he wanted to make the guts of the people watching around him pop out.
This kind of ability to attract hatred, tsk tsk, it is estimated that no matter how annoying people are, they will be made into little angels in front of him...
Gu Nianzhi complained, but he didn't mean to blame Lu Jin.
On the contrary, her heart felt warm.
Because this person went crazy twice, Gu Nianzhi was the indirect beneficiary. She was very grateful for this, and her feelings for this person became better and better.
She had never experienced this feeling before, neither with Huo Shaoheng nor with He Zhichu.
She just has this kind of temperament. If someone treats her well, she would like to repay them with spring water.
Lu Jin's hatred in front of others instantly narrowed the distance between him and Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm quite touched. We've never met each other, but you care about me so much. Besides, I love to cry."
She took out the pack of tissues Lu Jin had given her on the plane, took out one and wiped her face.
Lu Jin saw that she was carrying the tissue he gave her with her, and her depressed mood suddenly brightened.
He watched quietly as she wiped her face, then lowered her voice and said, "... Even if no one bullies you, does that mean no one cares about you?"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Uncle, your imagination skills are too strong, right
Gu Nianzhi put down the tissue, put it on the dining table with his hands folded, leaned forward slightly, and asked in confusion, "Where did you see this?"
Lu Jin pointed out very logically: "You were so moved that you almost cried because of my caring words. If few people usually care about you, how could you be so moved by someone else's caring words?"
Gu Nianzhi stared at Lu Jin, choked to the point that he couldn't say a word.
For the first time, she met a man who was evenly matched with her, and who could also bring his own logical reasoning to the chaos.
This used to be her exclusive privilege!
