Chapter 834: The 7 Constellations of Professional Stuntmen (47)
Mu Shi stood at the elevator entrance holding her resignation certificate, and the edge of the paper bag was deeply wrinkled by her.
The morning light filtered through the glass curtain wall of the building, casting her shadow on the shiny marble floor - thin, lonely, like a fallen leaf about to fall.
"Lawyer Mu? Are you resigning?"
A clear spring-like voice came from behind. Mu Shi turned around and met a pair of smiling eyes.
The woman with chestnut curly hair stood in the backlight, her slim windbreaker outlined her elegant lines, and the diamond watch on her wrist reflected fine light in the sun.
Mu Shi nodded subconsciously, and when she came to her senses, she was already sitting in the VIP area of the Cloud Cafe.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the skyline of Haiyuan City, and beneath your feet is a constant stream of traffic.
Mu Shi unconsciously shrugged her shoulders - she was surrounded by business elites talking in low voices, and the men's cufflinks and the women's jewelry sparkled in the morning light.
The woman opposite her was undoubtedly the most dazzling one among them.
And...want to hire her for defense.
Mu Shi sipped the coffee, the bitterness spreading on the tip of her tongue.
This was her first time drinking Geisha, but she couldn’t taste any of the “citrus notes” described in the flavor notes.
"I...did I hear you right?" Mu Shi's fingers pressed tightly against the wall of the coffee cup, and the heat came through the bone china. "You want to hire me?"
"I've seen all your lost cases." Song Yuesheng pushed a gold-plated business card over, with the Xinghui Entertainment logo shining in the morning light. "Seventy percent of them were due to insufficient evidence, and thirty percent were due to the parties changing their statements in court. None of them were due to your professional ability."
Mu Shi looked up suddenly, and the coffee cup made a crisp sound on the tray.
"Although my main job is in the entertainment industry, the case I'm looking for you for has nothing to do with the industry."
Song Yuesheng briefly described the current situation.
"There is an orphanage in Yuncheng. The director of the orphanage had his eyes on a piece of land and planned to rebuild an orphanage. The contract had been signed and the money had been paid, but when it came time to hand over the land, the other party kept delaying and the relevant departments refused to give the land to them."
"I have a good relationship with them. After hearing the news, I thought about finding a lawyer to take over the case. I want the court to urge the other party to abide by the contract and hand over the land as soon as possible. After all, the children in the orphanage are innocent."
Mu Shi's fingertips unconsciously drew circles on the rim of the cup. The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting fine spots of light on her face, making her suspicious eyes appear particularly bright.
"This case does have a chance of winning." She chose her words carefully, "But Miss Song..." She suddenly raised her head and looked directly at the other party, "Is your company short of lawyers?"
Song Yuesheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her chestnut curly hair slid over her shoulders as she shook her head.
She picked up the black coffee and took a sip. "The company is just starting out, and the legal department is still vacant. Why don't you come to work in my company directly?"
Mu Shi’s fingers paused.
She looked at the woman in front of her who looked like she was in a commercial even when drinking coffee, and suddenly found it ridiculous: "Have you checked me? The 'industry death light' who has not won a case in five years..."
She laughed at herself and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will bring bad luck to your company?"
"Do you know why you always lose?" Song Yuesheng suddenly leaned forward, his obsidian eyes staring straight at her, "Lawyer Mu is having trouble because he doesn't get along with the aura of Haiyuan City. If he were to come to my company, maybe things would be fine~"
A plane flew past the window, and the roar temporarily interrupted the conversation.
Mu Shi stared at the white mark in a trance, and then heard Song Yuesheng say: "Didn't Lawyer Mu swear an oath in law school that year? Use the law as a sword and conscience as a shield..."
“Life has a high tolerance for mistakes.”
Mu Shi's pupils suddenly contracted.
It was a sunny day. She stood under the sycamore tree in the law school and swore an oath together with other classmates to the goddess Themis, the symbol of fairness and justice.
——How long has it been since she thought of this sentence?
The other party's sincerity is obvious, so why should she hesitate?
Mu Shi looked at her: "Okay, I promise Miss Song."
After the contact information was added, Mu Shi paused and then said, "When will I report to your company?"
"Now."
"Ok?"
Song Yuesheng took out a laptop from the bag on the chair next to her. After operating it for a while, a PDF file was sent to Mu Shi's mobile phone.
"Fill it out and send it to me, and I'll enter it into the system for you in a moment."
The corners of Mu Shi's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.
What does "Enter Now" mean?
Isn’t there even a formal HR?
And...isn't this seven-figure annual salary too high?
There are commissions and year-end bonuses?
The sun was shining brightly outside the floor-to-ceiling window, but it couldn't illuminate Mu Shi's gloomy mood at the moment.
Could it be... a pyramid scheme?
Just as she quietly moved her chair and prepared to leave, the glass door of the cafe was pushed open and a tall man walked in against the light.
That highly recognizable baby face and slightly droopy puppy eyes.
This face, like her record of repeated failures in lawsuits, is the favorite reporting material of major marketing accounts.
——Fu Yunzhi.
Mu Shi felt her throat tighten and the coffee cup in her hand almost fell out of her hand.
What is he here to do?
Could it be because of the intellectual property dispute with Fu’s subsidiary last month?
They have clearly won the case, so what are they doing here?
Because she mocked in court that she had the support of the Fu Group... and wanted to kill her completely, so that she could not survive in the legal profession? !
One step, two steps...
Mu Shi felt her heart was beating so fast as to burst out of her chest, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
Song Yuesheng noticed Mu Shi's sudden pale face, turned his head and followed her gaze, and when he saw Fu Yun, his red lips pursed slightly, revealing a speechless expression.
"What a coincidence..." Fu Yunzhi's voice was a little lazy, like a sated cat.
Mu Shi thought he was talking to her, so she stood up suddenly, and the chair legs made a sharp "creaking" sound on the ground.
"Mr. Fu!"
"Sister~"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Fu Yunzhi glanced at Mu Shi casually, and then naturally sat in the empty seat next to Song Yuesheng.
"That's too much." His slender fingers played with the hair that fell on Song Yuesheng's shoulders. "You didn't even tell me you came to Haiyuan City to see me. I had to rely on chance encounters to see you."
There was obvious grievance in his voice, which was very different from the image of a decisive business tycoon in the rumors.
Song Yuesheng slapped his hand away and moved aside: "What did I say before?"
Fu Yunzhi moved closer and said, "Don't worry, this is a coffee shop owned by Fu Group. They won't dare to take pictures. No one will know our relationship."
Song Yuesheng curled the corners of his mouth.
Under what banner?
Could she not have looked before booking the café?
It was probably purchased an hour or two ago, or even ten minutes ago.
Song Yuesheng sighed and decided to deal with the important matter first and discuss this matter with him later.
She turned to Mu Shi who was frozen in place: "Don't worry about him, just ignore him. Lawyer Mu, let's continue talking about our business."
Mu Shi’s fingers were tightly gripping the strap of her bag, her knuckles turning white.
She looked at the president in front of her who was described by marketing accounts as not interested in women, but was now sticking to Song Yuesheng like a large dog, and her brain almost stopped working.
"I...I'd better go back and fill it out." Mu Shi's voice trembled, "I'll send it to you after I finish filling it out."
As she left in a hurry, she brushed past the waiter at the door, and a few drops of coffee on the other person's tray splashed onto her beige suit pants, leaving a small dark mark.
Fu Yunzhi. Fu family.
Just look at these five words, who in Haiyuan City doesn’t know their value?
Miss Song is not involved in pyramid schemes, but... her relationship with Fu Yunzhi... is even more frightening!
