Chapter 352: How about doing another legal awareness campaign?

Listening to Tang Qiu's words, Chen Mo gave a dry laugh, then tentatively asked, "How about doing another legal awareness campaign?"

"Well, the legal awareness campaign for the Garment factory was done yesterday, the ones for Boring Short Videos and Cangxue Games were done together the day before yesterday, and Nanhe Coffee was done three days ago via video conference."

"As for these legal awareness campaigns, I have conducted at least two for each company every month."

Tang Qiu said quickly.

She was speechless inside; was this why President Chen had hired her with an annual salary of one million, just to have her conduct legal awareness campaigns?

At this rate of legal education, after a few years, the employees of these companies would probably all become lawyers; at the very least, they would definitely have no problem working as paralegals.

Er!

Hearing Tang Qiu's words, Chen Mo didn't know how to arrange things for a moment.

He thought to himself that rearranging it all over again didn't seem right either.

This Tang Qiu was really something; wasn't it better to have no work? Sitting in the office, scrolling through videos, and watching dramas—wasn't that great?

She just had to find work to do; wasn't this just asking for trouble?

Chen Mo really couldn't understand it; employees at other companies were all trying their best to slack off and be lazy.

But his company was the opposite; not to mention slacking off, in all this time, he had only seen one employee slacking off and watching anime during work hours.

In such a large Group company, there was actually only one employee slacking off.

Absurd!

And what about taking paid bathroom breaks? Wasn't that a perfectly normal thing?

These employees actually managed to hold it until their break to line up for the restroom, never thinking of going during work hours.

Unreasonable!

"President Chen!"

Seeing that President Chen hadn't spoken for a while, Tang Qiu spoke up to remind him.

"Hmm!"

Chen Mo snapped back to reality. He looked at Tang Qiu sitting opposite him, thought for a moment, and suddenly came up with a good idea, speaking slowly.

"Tang Qiu, the company has been developing steadily, and there really isn't anything that requires too much of your attention."

"If you are really too idle, I will grant you a privilege: you may take on cases from other lawyers while employed by the Group."

"Of course, you can take on side jobs, but it cannot affect the operations here at the company."

Since Tang Qiu couldn't stay idle, he would just let her take on other work herself; as long as she didn't bother him, that would be fine.

Day in and day out, she only had work in her eyes; where was he supposed to find work to assign her?

Hearing President Chen's words, Tang Qiu felt a wave of emotion. She hadn't expected President Chen to grant her such a privilege, which was simply unheard of in other Group companies.

However, she quickly revealed a bitter smile.

"President Chen, you know about my past experiences. My reputation in the legal world is not very good right now. Even if I wanted to take on work, I'm afraid no one would be willing to hire me."

After she left Tiandi Law Firm, her reputation had been ruined by the publicity from Tiandi Law Firm.

Even if an employer wanted to hire her as a lawyer, they would choose to give up after learning about what happened.

She had once thought about whether she should make the whole story public.

But she had no concrete evidence, and intentionally losing a lawsuit was indeed a violation of a lawyer's duty.

As a lawyer, one should look out for their client, even if they are guilty.

But out of conscience, she couldn't bring herself to defend those criminals.

After some thought, she realized that she didn't seem suited to be a lawyer, so she gave up the idea of fighting against Tiandi Law Firm.

Being a Legal Director at this moment was also a good choice.

Hmm!

Chen Mo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Tang Qiu in front of him earnestly.

Where else could he look for a money-losing business? Wasn't this one right in front of him?

No one was willing to hire Tang Qiu as a lawyer; didn't that mean that as long as Tang Qiu established a law firm, it was certain that there would be no clients?

No clients meant no income.

Wouldn't no income make it a money-losing business?

What a reliable company this was, and it could simultaneously solve the problem of Tang Qiu asking him for work every day.

Not bad!

That was decided.

Chen Mo looked up and smiled at Tang Qiu.

"Tang Qiu, you've been with the company for over half a year. Having you do legal awareness campaigns or handle some company paperwork every day is indeed a waste of your talents."

"I've thought about it carefully; if we continue like this, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?"

"Therefore, after much consideration, I have finally decided to establish a law firm, and you will be the person in charge."

Hearing President Chen's words, Tang Qiu opened her mouth in shock.

Establish a law firm! Let her be the person in charge!

However, she quickly regained her composure and hurriedly shook her head.

"President Chen, this won't work. With my current reputation, if I serve as the person in charge of the law firm, I'm afraid no client will choose our firm."

Being the person in charge of a law firm was indeed very tempting.

But she knew her current situation well; letting her be the person in charge of a law firm would only harm the firm.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head. No clients was exactly what he wanted; this was what he was aiming for.

"Reputation is nothing. I believe in your ability more, and you are so serious and responsible. I can only rest assured if I hand the law firm over to you."

"…"

"Therefore, this position of the person in charge of the law firm belongs to you. Moreover, asking you to establish the law firm does not mean you are leaving the Group; you will still be the Group's Legal Director, and if any legal disputes arise within the Group, you will still need to step in."

After some brainwashing, Chen Mo didn't give Tang Qiu a chance to argue and finalized the plan directly.

Seeing President Chen's tone, Tang Qiu knew that she couldn't escape this position as the person in charge, but this would really affect the law firm. After thinking about it, she said.

"President Chen, I will take the position of the person in charge of the law firm, but I won't appear at the firm. Then, we can hire a few lawyers with strong professional capabilities to hold the fort, minimizing my influence. This should be able to attract some clients with needs."

"No!"

Chen Mo refused without hesitation. Hiring a few lawyers with strong professional capabilities—wasn't that just adding trouble for him?

However, Tang Qiu's words reminded him.

The law firm certainly couldn't have only Tang Qiu holding the fort; they definitely needed to hire other lawyers.

In that case, he must be very careful when hiring; he couldn't hire lawyers who were too capable.

Hmm!

The target should be on interns. Moreover, the legal profession requires time to accumulate experience. A lawyer who has just started interning, no matter how excellent they were during their studies, would probably need a long time to become a qualified lawyer.

Yes, that was it.

Chen Mo nodded secretly, then looked at Tang Qiu.

"Not only will we not hire those lawyers with strong professional capabilities, but we will also hire those who are not strong in professional capabilities and have no experience."

"Therefore, we will just target those law graduates who are interns."
