Tang Qiu’s application

"Very well, Mr. Chen."

Shen Rou nodded in response, though she was completely confused.

But she understood that this was not Mr. Chen's problem; it was her own lack of vision. Since her vision was insufficient, she shouldn't ask questions and should just follow orders directly.

With this thought in mind, she turned and left the office immediately, heading straight downstairs to the investment company.

She needed to convey this order as quickly as possible.

Watching Shen Rou leave, the corners of Chen Mo's mouth curled up slightly.

He felt that the current channels for obtaining investment proposals at the investment company were too formal, so much so that investment proposals that would lose money at a glance never even reached the investment company.

In that case, he would expand the channels for obtaining investment proposals. He refused to believe that he couldn't find a good money-losing investment proposal.

…

Hundred Books Law Firm,

Tang Qiu looked at the renovated law firm, unable to help but feel a little emotional.

She never imagined that one day she would have her own law firm.

Even before the incident, she had never considered such a thing.

And after the incident, she had thought about it even less.

After that incident, she had reflected on herself. As a lawyer, she knew she shouldn't have personal emotional bias.

Everyone should have the right to defend themselves.

She had known this since she became a lawyer, and she had made up her mind to do so.

But when the situation actually happened to her, she found that she couldn't remain indifferent.

A person who was clearly confirmed to be heinous appeared before you, and you knew of the evil deeds he had committed.

The law firm had explicitly required her to take on the case.

And she knew that with her abilities, as long as she defended him, that villain would escape punishment.

How was she to choose?

Continue to defend him, help him escape punishment, and let him continue to run free outside? Meanwhile, the victim's side would be unable to seek redress for their grievances.

Or, should she go easy during the defense and let that villain face the sanctions of the law?

She thought about it seriously; no matter what she chose, she would feel uncomfortable.

Choosing to defend him, she felt she was violating her conscience. Whenever she thought of a villain remaining at large because of her defense, and potentially continuing to do evil…

But if she went easy during the defense, she would be violating her duties as a lawyer.

After a long period of reflection, Tang Qiu finally came to the conclusion that she didn't seem suited for the legal profession.

And just at that time, Mr. Chen suddenly appeared and asked her to be the company's legal counsel.

Through gradual contact, she found that this job was very suitable; she wouldn't have to face those evil people again, and she wouldn't have to consider whether or not to defend them.

She liked it very much.

It was just that she hadn't expected that, in the end, she would return to a law firm.

But the difference this time was that she was the person in charge of this law firm.

She had the right to make some decisions, such as not accepting cases for those who already had clear criminal records.

Tang Qiu sat at the renovated desk, looking at the application report on her computer, hesitating for a long time.

Finally, she pressed the send button.

This application report was a request not to accept cases involving those with criminal records.

Of course, she didn't have high expectations; in the application, she only hoped not to accept cases involving serious crimes; minor offenses were not included.

She had thought about this for a long time, but had hesitated for a long while and never submitted the application.

Today, looking at the renovated law firm, she knew it was time to make the application.

She had already thought that if Mr. Chen rejected her application, she would apply to return to Mingri Group as legal counsel, even if it meant a pay cut.

Watching the email being sent out, Tang Qiu leaned back in her chair with a relaxed expression. She knew her way of thinking didn't make for a qualified lawyer.

But so what? She just didn't want those evil people to escape.

If she could, she would rather be an unqualified lawyer.

She only hoped that a villain would receive the punishment he deserved, and that a grievance would have a place to be redressed.

In her legal principles, bad people should not have the right to a defense—of course, this was based on the premise that they had already been confirmed as bad people.

Although it was twisted, that was exactly what she thought.

The office was silent.

Tang Qiu leaned back in her chair, gazing up at the ceiling, wondering what she was thinking about.

Knock, knock, knock!

A knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Come in!"

Tang Qiu snapped out of her thoughts, sat up straight, and looked toward the door, where she saw a man push the door open and walk in.

"Hello, Attorney Tang. I am Mei Yun. Mr. Chen wants me to register a construction company, and I've come today to ask you about a few things."

"Oh, hello. Please, take a seat."

Hearing this, Tang Qiu gestured toward the chair in front of her desk.

Since it was Mr. Chen's business, she naturally dared not neglect it.

After a while!

Tang Qiu looked at Mei Yun, who was sitting across from her.

"That's the general process. If you still don't quite understand, perhaps I should handle it for you."

"That won't be necessary, Attorney Tang. This is a task Mr. Chen assigned to me; how could I trouble you with it?"

Mei Yun hurriedly waved his hand and then continued.

"Attorney Tang, I understand everything now, so I won't disturb you any further. I need to hurry and get it done; Mr. Chen seems to be in a rush."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the office.

Tang Qiu stood up to see him to the office door. Watching Mei Yun walk away, a flash of dejection crossed her eyes.

In the past, she would have been the one doing all this work!

After a while, she slowly lifted her head, then sent a message about a meeting directly in the work group.

She sat for a short while, then stood up and headed toward the conference room.

Entering the conference room, she found it full of people.

Looking at the many intern lawyers sitting neatly, Tang Qiu slowly walked to the front of the conference room.

"Everyone has been interning here for a while now. Previously, you were all working from home, but now that the law firm has been renovated, you will all need to come to the law firm to work from now on."

"I hope everyone will adhere to the working hours; that is the first point I want to make."

"The second point is that after so many days of study and training, you should all have a certain understanding of your own legal knowledge. Here, we don't need you to be omnipotent, at least not for the time being."

"Currently, I only need you to master one type of legal knowledge. Since you have all gained some understanding of all areas of law during this time, you should know which type of law you like or which you excel in."

"Today, I want you to make a choice, and then I hope you will earnestly memorize the legal provisions according to the law you have chosen, review relevant litigation cases, and in short, use your own methods to learn and improve yourselves."

"Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me at any time."

"At the same time, after you have made your choices, you will be divided into different studios based on your selections. I will also allocate time to go to different studios to explain the corresponding legal knowledge."

"Of course, after making your choices, the competition will begin. I will conduct evaluations from time to time, and those who do not meet the standards will face the risk of being eliminated at any time."

"As for those who remain, they will receive a certain increase in benefits."

"Alright, that is all I have to say. You may make your choices now."

After Tang Qiu finished speaking, she sat down in the chair at the very front of the conference room, quietly waiting for the many interns in the room to make their choices.

In order to enable these interns to have the ability to handle things on their own as soon as possible, this was the only thing she could do.

Although this 'wolf culture' was a bit cruel, society was just like that; there is no reward without effort.

If you want better benefits, then work hard to improve yourself.
