Chapter 217: Decoration Case 4
eling of wanting to confess but being afraid."It's like saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Lu Yaoyao was already getting into character, but when his name came up, she felt nothing. Besides, th...Yimu Yang thought this lawyer was so verbose, repeatedly emphasizing the same question. He impatiently waved his hand.
"It's all about what we make of it. Report this to the other party first and see how they respond."
"Okay." Shu Tinglan, of course, fully cooperated with his request. He had only reminded him of the potential issues just now.
Just as she was about to open the door to the ward and go out, Yi Muyang suddenly called her back.
"Ms. Shu."
"Is there anything else" she asked.
"Well, when you come back to see me next time, could you please not wear all black Every time I see you, it's like you're coming to my funeral. Look, I run an extreme sports experience center, so feng shui is very important here."
Actually, Yi Mu Yang thought she was being very polite. She didn't directly say that she was unlucky. He had never seen a girl who didn't care about her appearance so much. She had black hair without any style and wore black-rimmed glasses. Every time he saw her, she was wearing a black suit and black shoes, giving off a dark and oppressive feeling. Even her expression was cold and indifferent, with few emotions.
His life was so colorful, it was unbearable to see such a dull black. He'd wanted to bring this up since the first time he saw her; he thought if he politely asked about her attire, she would surely agree
Shu Tinglan paused her hand on the doorknob, turned to look at Yi Muyang on the hospital bed, and replied seriously.
"Sorry, the attorney's fees do not include dress code requirements."
She finished her words and pushed the door open. In her view, wearing a professional outfit and dressing appropriately was enough; she wasn't obligated to dress to please clients.
Yi Muyang was stunned. So she meant, to wear brighter colors, she had to pay more lawyer's fees What is this Extortion It's too black-hearted. These lawyers are really black-hearted.
Shu Tinglan returned to the law firm and handed all kinds of receipts given by Yi Muyang to Xiao Xin, asking her to sort them out by time and category, and enter each item into a table. She set a deadline for Xiao Xin to complete the task within two days.
Xiaoxin felt a little embarrassed: "Ms. Shu, about the case of Mrs. Zhang that you asked me to follow, she said her husband would be meeting his mistress these days and that there would be evidence to capture. She told me to keep a close eye on him."
"You want me to follow you and provide evidence" Shu Tinglan shot Xiao Xin a cold glance.
She remembered the case, a divorce case. In the end, it was either about custody or money. Mrs. Zhang wanted her husband to leave with nothing and spent all her time trying to find evidence of his infidelity.
Xiaoxin nodded, with a touch of suicidal righteousness. She and Mrs. Zhang shared the same enemy and were determined to catch the adulterer's evidence. So they had already prepared their cameras and were waiting to expose him in the evening.
Shu Tinglan choked back a surge of anger, wanting to lash out, but seeing her innocent expression, he held back.
"I've told you many times, you can suggest or help analyze how to gather evidence, but you absolutely cannot go yourself and record audio or video. First, it's dangerous, second, if someone bites back and accuses you of invading privacy, you'll have a hard time defending yourself. If you take on everything and try to do everything for the client, will you be able to handle it"
"But, many of my classmates do this, and some even secretly put recording devices in each other's cars to gather evidence."
"If everyone's doing it, it must be right, right" she questioned coldly.
"I understand. I'll clarify this with Mrs. Zhang."
Shu Tinglan didn't speak again. In fact, secretly recording and filming clients was a common practice for many lawyers, but she never did such things, especially to someone like Xiao Xin who was just starting out in the profession. She hoped to guide her down a more professional path.
Xiaoxin came back after making the phone call, and then started helping organize Yimu Yang's receipts. It seemed like a simple job, but it was the most tedious one, because Yimu Yang even opened a receipt for buying a screw.
This job cannot be finished in two days.
After assigning Xiao Xin her tasks, Shu Tinglan dealt with inquiries from several cooperative companies. Then, she went to the court to submit an application for property preservation of the decoration company. Property preservation is a precautionary measure to prevent the decoration company from maliciously failing to execute a judgment after a lawsuit. She was careful and well-prepared.
After finishing all that, she rushed back to the law firm. Today, she had interviews with two childcare assistants. She has relaxed her requirements and doesn't need a live-in nanny anymore. All she needs is someone who can work Monday to Friday, helping with housework in the morning and picking up the kids in the afternoon, and making dinner. Weekends are off, of course. And if she goes on business trips, she'll need help taking care of the children, but overtime pay will be provided.
She thought, this condition has been relaxed and relatively easier.
The result was that she met several aunties in a row, but none of them were satisfactory. For children's matters, big or small, her requirements for the aunties were indeed quite high. Today was the last two aunties recommended by the housekeeping company. If they weren't satisfied either, there were temporarily no more recommendations, and she would probably be put on the blacklist by the housekeeping company.
On her way to the law firm, she thought that if this recommended nanny was decent, she would just use her for now. Otherwise, running back and forth every day would not only delay her work but also prevent her from taking good care of the children, leaving her feeling guilty.
When the result arrived at the law firm, Xiaoxin mouthed to her and whispered.
“This cleaning company is totally unreliable, they just want to fill their numbers and will send you any random maid.”
"What's wrong" she asked.
"I just poured them some water. One of the aunts had very dirty fingernails. Another one, thinking I didn't see her, spit in the trash can."
Xiaoxin understands Aunt's request best and accompanied her to meet many people. Even Xiaoxin, let alone Lawyer Shu, couldn't accept these two.
Shu Tinglan was speechless. She had planned to use the okay words first, but the interviewers were one worse than the other, leaving her very frustrated. How come it's so hard to find a good aunt
She was too lazy to see them anymore, so she had Xiaoxin go to the interview in her place and sent them away.
Xiaoxin came back and saw her, volunteering: "Ms. Shu, why don't I take on a part-time job to help you take care of the babies I really like them, and anyway, my work isn't as busy as yours."
Xiao Xin always talks about how being single and childfree keeps her safe, but if she had two adorable babies like Lawyer Shu's family, she wouldn't mind.
Shu Tinglan glanced at her: "You're still a child."
"Shu Lawyer, you're not that much older than me, are you" Xiaoxin had seen her ID card; she was only six years older.
Shu Tinglan was taken aback, looking at the innocent and carefree Xiaoxin. She felt like Xiaoxin's elder, completely from different generations.
Only a few years older
She let out a self-deprecating chuckle. Nave as she was, she could still retain the innocence of Xin like a pure heart. But she, on the other hand, was already scarred and riddled with decay within.nment to vigorously develop the tourism industry, Gu Ruandong asked her to design a plan for a scenic area. 。Gu Ruandong asked her to design it because, firstly, she was from a design background, and...
