Everyone in the meeting room could hear clearly that Gu Nianzhi was actually threatening Qin Yaoguang. If she continued to make a ruckus, Gu Nianzhi would go to court and sue her for “abandonment”.
Gu Nianzhi was already an adult. Suing her for this crime was actually not of much use to her, but there was a potential benefit. If she won, Qin Yaoguang would no longer be able to use her “biological mother”as a reason to make any demands on Gu Nianzhi, this included supporting her.
This was equivalent to severing her legal mother-daughter relationship with Qin Yaoguang.
Gu Nianzhi’s birth had been a muddle-headed matter to begin with. She wasn’t a normal legitimate child at all. The executives of the Qin Corporation present knew this very well.
When that time came, the Qin Corporation’s reputation would be dealt a heavy blow once this matter was used by someone with ulterior motives. It was very likely that it would directly cause a storm in the stock market.
If it caused a wave of stock-selling, then each of them would have to bear a huge loss.
These people were all senior executives of the Qin Corporation. They all had the Qin Corporation’s shares in their hands. For sure, they had to think of their own interests.
And today, Qin Yaoguang had indeed gone too far. After being mocked by the little girl, she was about to kick her.
As a mother she wasn’t kind, yet she still blamed her daughter for being unfilial. It was too much.
Qin Yaoguang saw that the situation was overboard, so she could only take a deep breath and close her eyes.
She didn’t want to see Gu Nianzhi’s sharp-tongued mannerism, which was simply a nightmare for her. She hadn’t expected that after so many years, she would see someone else use sharp-tongued words to step on her..
Seeing that the mother and daughter had fallen out, Old Master Qin had no choice but to come out and smooth things over. “Nianzhi, your mother was wrong. I’ll teach her a lesson. If you have any problems in the future, just look for me. Don’t bother with your mother.” He walked over and very kindly took out his business card, then shoved it into her hand.
“This is the business card I only give to my closest friends and relatives. Keep it well. It’s not easy for a little girl to live outside. If you don’t rely on your family, would you rely on outsiders?” Grandfather Qin patted her shoulder.
Gu Nianzhi stepped aside and said aloofly, “I don’t rely on others, I rely on myself. Old Master Qin, is there anything else? If not, I’ll be leaving.”
She looked at her watch. It had already been twenty-five minutes.
Old Master Qin sighed, “I was going to be a peacemaker today, but I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. Alright, you can go back first. I’ll call you in a few days and find you a good job. How can my granddaughter stay in a small law firm like that?”
Qin Yaoguang tugged the corners of her lips and said to Old Master Qin in a sullen voice, “Dad, you really take her too seriously. She’s just a small law firm employee. She’s really arrogant.”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t get angry at Qin Yaoguang’s sarcastic remarks. She acted like she had a good temper. She smiled and said, “Mrs. Qin, this isn’t arrogance. This is professionalism and professional ethics. Of course, there’s a mountain between us. You’re a doctor, so you don’t understand the rules of the legal profession.”
She glanced around the meeting room and saw that some people didn’t think much of her, especially the so-called executives of the Qin Corporation.
She raised her eyebrows, then smiled lightly. “Although our law firm is small, we are a legitimate law firm registered in the Commerce Department, and have obtained the permission of the Law Association. We aren’t a private hospital that ignores the law. If we don’t take ourselves seriously, how can we expect others to take us seriously?”
Qin Yaoguang’s pupils dilated and she said coldly, “Who are you saying is ignoring the law?!”
“I’m referring to the private hospitals that ignore the law.” Her attitude arrogant, Gu Nianzhi raised her chin slightly.
“You think you can spout nonsense just because you’re a lawyer? Be careful or I’ll sue you for slander!” Qin yaoguang said coldly. Her eyes were unusually cold, and she looked at Gu Nianzhi like she was a guinea pig.
Gu Nianzhi laughed and shook her head. “Miss Qin, you really know how to smear your own name. I said private hospitals that disregard the law, but I didn’t mention the Qin Corporation’s private hospitals. The Huaxia Empire has so many private hospitals, so why do you think I’m talking about your hospitals? Could it be… that you have something on your mind?”
“Gu Nianzhi!”
“Miss Gu, be careful with your words!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
The Qin Corporation’s executives and Qin Yaoguang berated Gu Nianzhi together, as if she had said something outrageous.
Gu Nianzhi shrugged, “Do you have to be so guilty? When I referred to private hospitals that ‘disregard the law’, you all jumped up like mad bulls seeing red. I’m telling you, I’m a lawyer. The more you act like this, the more curious I am…”
She dragged out her voice with a crafty expression. There was no fear in her eyes, and she could even look Old Master Qin in the eye for a long time.
Old Master Qin looked at her for a while and suddenly burst into laughter. “The younger generation is awesome! The younger generation is awesome! We have a successor! We have a successor!”
Gu Nianzhi: “? ? ?”
Oh no, did she drive this old man crazy?
Gu Nianzhi frowned slightly and looked at Old Master Qin suspiciously.
Lu Yuan, the president of the Lu Corporation, said leisurely, “Lawyer Gu is very ambitious. Back then, I was also poor and started from nothing. I relied entirely on myself to get where I am today. After so many years of struggling in society, I only have one thought — do not bully the young.”
He took the initiative to reach out to Gu Nianzhi with a very modest attitude. “Lawyer Gu, our company has been looking about a new partner recently. We’re looking for more than one partner. If you’re interested, you can join the bidding.”
Gu Nianzhi was overjoyed. She shook Lu Yuan’s hand a few times. “CEO Lu, is what you said true? I’m a simple-minded person. I’ll take anything you say seriously!”
“How can I go back on my words in front of so many people at the Qin Corporation?” Lu Yuan smiled, “The most important thing in business is credibility, especially when we’re dealing with cyber security. We know how important credibility is more than anyone else.”
“Okay, okay! I’ll go back and check your company’s bidding requirements. I’ll make a bid right away.” Gu Nianzhi was so excited that she couldn’t wait to get back to work.
This was her first big business deal in this world. If it was successful, their small law firm would be completely different!
She could also immediately talk to Jin Dazhuang about the partnership.
At that time, she would no longer be a lowly employee. She would also be the boss..
Gu Nianzhi’s heart finally calmed down.
She hated that kind of uncertain state. She felt like a duckweed without a foundation.
“Okay, I’ll be waiting for your good news.” Lu Yuan took good care of her and personally sent her out of the meeting room. “You work in this building, right?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “I’m on the second floor, at Jin Dazhuang’s law firm.” She added, “Jin Dazhuang is a good man. No one dared to hire me, and only he ave me a job.”
Lu Yuan smiled. “Lawyer Jin is indeed a good man. Lawyer Gu, go back and discuss with lawyer Jin. The bidding will be closed next week.”
“Huh? It’s that urgent? I’ll go prepare immediately. Please give me a chance!” Gu Nianzhi bowed to Lu Yuan in gratitude.
After Lu Yuan sent her off, he returned to the meeting room and said to Old Master Qin, “Your daughter is as stubborn as your granddaughter.”
“Yeah, there’s nothing I can do.” Old Master Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Yuan didn’t care.
Gu Nianzhi’s words today had been unexpected. Old Master Qin really had the heart to cherish talent.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Lu Yuan, he left the Lu Corporation’s building with his people.
He got into his car and said to Qin Yaoguang aloofly, “Don’t make things difficult for that child anymore. I want to observe her carefully.”
“Dad! You’re not really going to make her your successor, are you?!” Qin Yaoguang’s eyes widened. “What exactly is so outstanding about her?! Why do all of you treat her like a treasure?!”
“Don’t worry about that. I know what I’m doing.” Old Master Qin glared at her. “Mind your own business. You don’t have to worry about anything else!”
..
Gu Nianzhi returned to her own law firm and told Jin Dazhuang that the Lu Corporation was talking about a new partner law firm. She wanted to try out the proposal.
Jin Dazhuang was shocked. “Do you know how big the Lu Corporation is?! How can they be interested in a small law firm like us? !”
“I know, lawyer Jin, but they wouldn’t just work with one law firm, would they? We only need to take down a small portion of their business, and it will be enough for us to grow. Don’t you want to turn a small law firm into a big law firm? With all due respect, the difference between us and a big law firm is only the difference in the number of people we hire. Our business level isn’t inferior to theirs at all!”
Gu Nianzhi dared to say such big words because she had just been through a large-scale selection process in the other world and had set up her own team.
She knew who was needed in a large team and how to select them.
Furthermore, Jin Dazhuang, in the other world, was already a big lawyer in a big law firm.
In terms of professional standards, the two of them were about the same.
The only difference was their luck.
She patted Jin Dazhuang, who was almost petrified. “Lawyer Jin, we can do it, come on!”
Xiao Zhang, the receptionist, was also very excited. She jumped over and said, “I knew I wouldn’t be a receptionist in this small law firm for the rest of my life! This is a good opportunity for a small law firm to become a big law firm!”
Jin Dazhuang looked at the two young women who were full of vigor and was also encouraged. He nodded and said, “It seems that I’m really old and not as determined as you two. Okay, then let’s work together and strive to take down a part of the Lu Corporation’s legal business!”
