“…Trash?” The Caucasian lawyer repeated with a stony expression, “You’re calling this trash?”
“Yes, trash T-r-a-s-h, trash” Gu Nianzhi got up froed all five defense proposals to herself to cruht hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before it landed in the trash can in the corner “That’s where it belongs”
Gu Nianzhi sat doith poise, her face was as soft and sweet as a ue was sharp and poisonous
“Haha, do you knoe are? Howwe spent to draft these defense proposals for you? Who do you think you’veto accept this case for you?” The lawyer quickly spat out a torrent of English, “But you’ve just throay our efforts like garbage I refuse to defend someone like you!” He stood up and looked at He Zhichu, “Mr He, please forgive ave He Zhichu a sideways glance and sneered, “Professor He, this is your valued employee? Hehe…” She didn’t wait for He Zhichu to reply before looking at the lawyer asking to resign from the case, “What’s your naly The Vanderbilts were famous in upper-class American society Most of the people from this family were certainly elites
Gu Nianzhi nodded, “Mr Vanderbilt, may I ask how much your salary is?”
The ht to ask”
“I’ on behalf of Professor He” Gu Nianzhi raised her head arrogantly and was even s that your salary ood if you are employed by Professor He? Are you paid all that money just to take fender-bender cases?”
Oh… The four other lawyers had been still the whole ti Their eyes flashed with sarcasuess this is goodbye We won’t have to worry about being elireea farewell party for you”
Gu Nianzhi was keenly aware that the lawyers had discord ast themselves and chose to butt in, “Exactly, it’s survival of the fittest in the world of lawyers It’s against everyone’s interests if the case is lost”
John Vanderbilt suddenly realized he had been too impulsive, but had already reached the door and couldn’t bear the sha, He Zhichu looked up, “John, take your annual vacation”
His face blanched and lips tre, but Gu Nianzhi’s disdainful expression was too much to s He rashly nodded, “Well then, I’ll let you all continue” He turned away and his quick footsteps in the hallway emphasized the silence in He Zhichu’s office
After a long moment, He Zhichu looked at Gu Nianzhi with a cold expression, “Ok, you said that was trash, so what non-trash do you have to share with us?”
Gu Nianzhi s four lawyers, “I’ve already listened to everyone’s defense proposals earlier, and really felt they are not helpful I also don’t believe you that you think such proposals will help win my case”
“Ms Gu, that’s our dilemma” With Gu Nianzhi’s earlier behavior and He Zhichu’s protective stance, they didn’t dare disrespect her and answered seriously, “Our strategy in court for this case doesn’t depend on us, but the US Military We can only kno to counter them if we knohat they want to achieve”
“Really?” Gu Nianzhi looked to He Zhichu, “Professor He, have you always prepared for cases like this?”
He Zhichu grunted, “What solution do you have?”
Gu Nianzhi thought about and replied hesitantly, “I’ll tell you what I think If anything is insufficient or incorrect, please let me know”
“Go on” He Zhichu leaned back in his chair and scanned the faces of his eraduated with her undergrad, don’t let her get too far ahead of you” He actually didn’t say don’t coet ahead… Exactly how irl! The four lawyers sat seriously as they listened with great vigilance, but all cursed in their hearts
“…Did I hear hiirl who doesn’t even have a law license?! Did Mr He drink too h Mr He never es, I really think he’s made a mistake here”
“Even the smartest students are only li in court is a whole different thing Mr Huo ot what it was like to go to court…”
Gu Nianzhi also co aze moved from He Zhichu’s side profile to the conference table before her She took a blank sheet of paper and began writing as she spoke, “Let’s cast soree that the Military’s stance is unclear, but I disagree with your conclusion that we can’t prepare because of this”
