Chapter 346 - Sent Away (2/2)
“Sit” He Zhichu sat behind his desk and pointed to the chair across from him “Tell me what happened exactly”
Lawyer Jin told him the entire incident
He Zhichu listened in silence and searched online before replying, “Very well, you reacted fairly quickly The Zhang Baochen situation is concluded, and as for Zhao Da, ill not be accepting his case”
Lawyer Jin was not inclined to taking Zhao Da’s case after going through the whole incident Zhang Baochen had o as long as he repaid the funds As for Zhang Feng and Zhao Da, theto make an example out of them There was no question that they would end up sentenced with jail time
“Mr He is wise” Lawyer Jin offered up flattery as he scratched his head sheepishly “I didn’t think that Gu Nianzhi would be so formidable—this is the second time I’ve lost to her”
He Zhichu peered at him from over his computer His tense expression relaxed and his tone warmed up as he smiled faintly, “It’s inevitable that you’d lose to her”
Lawyer Ji knew that Gu Nianzhi was soon to be He Zhichu’s student and intended to flatter He Zhichu by coht He Zhichu would outright accept the coard her exactly? Lawyer Jin grulanced at hi up He walked to theand looked down “Don’t believe me? She’s always been much more capable than any of you If she hadn’t been delayed for all this tio” He stopped his flood of appreciation for her “You can go now, but tell Wen Shouyi to come see me”
Lawyer Jin was speechless He left He Zhichu’s office with a sullen face and began to doubt himself
…
“Professor He, you asked to see me?” Wen Shouyi smiled politely as she arrived to He Zhichu’s office
“Close the door” He Zhichu turned away from theand put both hands in his trouser pockets as he casually leaned against the glass The sun shone froolden halo
Wen Shouyi was stunned by his splendor and dared not look directly at him She turned away to close the office door
“You better have a good explanation for why you accepted Zhang Baochen’s case” He Zhichu’s voice was frigid, his eyes cool with indifference
Wen Shouyi stayed silent and curled up her fists involuntarily “Why shouldn’t we accept it? He needed a lawyer and ere able to provide one He can also afford to pay the legal fees”
“Really?” He Zhichu pursed his thin lips “Would you have accepted this case if you had known that it had to do with the Huo’s?”
“Am I that kind of person in Professor He’s ry and forced into a corner by He Zhichu’s icy glare She blurted out, “Is this because of Gu Nianzhi?!”
“You know exactly what the real reason is” He Zhichu’s expression darkened “Just because I didn’t pursue the ot what happened”
Wen Shouyi’s whole body shi+vered and her eyes fearfully widened instantly “Professor He, I… I didn’t do it on purpose I didn’tnervously and wanted to to explain herself, but didn’t knohere to start
He Zhichu’s gaze and tone were too hurtful “I don’t care what you h chances” He Zhichu sat back down at his desk “I just notified the people back hoive you three days to pack up Your position here has been ter me away?!” Wen Shouyi muffled her mouth and the tears pooled in her eyes as she sobbed “Why? What did I do wrong? Elder Mr He will not agree to you being alone here!”
“Whether he agrees or not is none of your business Don’t use ainst his chair, his eyes cold “I would’ve fired you already if it weren’t for Nianzhi treating you as her savior You should be thankful that you’re still well received because of her, instead of giving her trouble”
