In the cramped kitchen, the water in the iron pot was boiling, and a greasy hand lifted the lid of the pot and threw a piece of dough into it.

"Alas......"

A sigh sounded, and I don't know how long I haven't eaten oil and water in my stomach, and I don't dare to spend some money.

Because that's next month's rent.

I can't complain about others, who let him have a "criminal record" in arrears, the landlord has already let go, and will not give him any chance to owe money, and if the rent is not in place at the time, he will immediately roll up and leave.

And he can't lose this house, all his contact information is left at this address, and customers can only find him here, and if he loses it, it is equivalent to losing a bowl of rice.

Lawyer, this is a glamorous profession, he never thought that he would be so miserable when he was in college, you know, he graduated with the fifth highest grade in the school.

He could have worked in a high-end firm, or been hired as a legal counsel by a large company, lived in a high-end apartment in the city center, owned a luxury car, and married a beautiful soft girl...... Well, he doesn't like the kind of girl who pays too much attention to the lines and deliberately trains her body to be hard.

In short, no feel.

As long as he is gentle and cute, even if he is a little fatter, he can also accept it.

It's a pity that because of that incident, all his efforts came to naught, and he had to run to the edge of this Chinatown to serve a group of foreigners.

And they are not generous people, they always shop around, and will give up high-quality service quality and professionalism because of lower fees.

Yes, professional.

He always maintained a pride in himself, that was the only thing he had, and he had a corresponding minimum service price in his heart for any type of case involved, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it if it was lower than that.

Because he can't do perfunctory things, or even harm his employer, he will definitely do his best to do his best when he takes on a case.

Therefore, if he continues to bargain at this price, it will be a stain on his professionalism, and he cannot accept it.

The customers he has served will always remember him. Unfortunately, few people get into trouble in a short period of time.

In addition, since he moved here, he has not encountered any major cases so far, and they are all trivial matters. And these things were not enough to make him famous in Chinatown.

He was waiting, waiting, waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a big customer to arrive......

"Hello, may I ask anyone?"

Davis's eyes lit up suddenly, it's time for business!

Experience tells him that customers who come at night generally have urgent matters and are easier to discuss. This is also a big reason why he still opens the door at night.

"Yes, please wait, come right away!"

He quickly extinguished the gas, spent more time sorting his clothes, then took a deep breath and walked out of the kitchen unhurriedly.

The customer is three people.

Not surprisingly, they are all Eastern faces, a very beautiful girl, he has not seen a few such postures in Chinatown for so long, a tall young man with a rare figure in Asia, if he knows basketball, he can play in the NBA with this body.

The remaining handsome oriental guy with a good temperament is undoubtedly the boss of this secretary and bodyguard.

After analyzing these situations in an instant, Davis became more and more pleased, and the object of this lineup definitely has some net worth and background.

Big Customers!

"Three, Attorney Davis is at your service. Davis nodded slightly, a subtle but polite smile.

"You speak Chinese quite well. Guo Yongkun smiled and looked at the white uncle opposite...... Well, it's not easy to say, maybe not a few years older than yourself.

The main thing is that his image is a little sloppy, his blonde hair is neatly combed according to the hairstyle, but the dim light cannot hide the oil on it, and the beard on his face can be seen from a small wound on his chin, which must have been freshly shaved, but it is only ...... The razor doesn't seem to work very well.

The black suit may have been a little white because of the long wash, and it was obviously a size larger than his thin figure.

The same deductions add up to make his age a mystery.

"It's okay, since I moved here, I know very well the customer group I want to serve, so I've been trying to learn Chinese, but it's really hard, almost two years, and that's it." ”

I haven't been there for two years...... Listen to the tone or self-study, to this extent, even the conjunctions that are not commonly used in colloquial language, "thus"?

Guo Yongkun was really stunned, is this the so-called language talent, or is it really smarter?

He had learned English for two lifetimes, and now he can go outside and take a taxi, and he has to show a note prepared in advance at his destination.

You must know that Chinese is known as one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn, but it is much more difficult than English.

I heard a joke before, a foreigner to China, like a girl, want to go to the countryside to write a love letter, so began to write "dear aunt......", he suddenly forgot how to write "mother", so he had an idea, thought of the Chinese "mother" and "mother" is the same meaning, will smile and write the beginning -

"Dear Aunt......"

Guo Yongkun gave him a thumbs up, sincerely.

"Sit down, three of you, and Attorney Davis can solve all your legal problems. ”

It's a living room converted office, with a desk by the window and a bookshelf next to it filled with books and file bags.

There is a partition advertising board near the door, which is marked to make it clear that this is a company.

In the middle is the living room, where there is also a set of fabric sofas and glass coffee tables, but they are very old, like they were found in the second-hand book market.

To be honest, Guo Yongkun was a little disappointed.

In the United States, which cries out for advocating freedom every day, lawyers should be a very popular profession, and if you are dissatisfied, even the president can sue, think about how many lawsuits will be generated every day?

It's not too easy for a lawyer to make money.

And what does it mean that this Davis lawyer in front of him is so poor?

It shows that his business is very poor, so level, I am afraid that it is worrying.

But they all came, out of politeness, it was not good to turn around and leave, Guo Yongkun thought about a few casual words, and then found a reason to say goodbye and leave.

The other party brought three cups of coffee, but he didn't. He first asked Guo Yongkun for the surnames of the three with a smile, and then said, "If the three of you encounter any trouble, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Not really. ”

Guo Yongkun shook his head with a faint smile, "I just want to set up a company in New York...... Well, we just came from China and need legal advice on some things. However, I see that your side seems to be mainly dealing with disputes, so forget it. ”

"No, no, Mr. Guo, as a professional lawyer, I am familiar with all law-related businesses, not just handling case disputes. Please trust my professionalism, find me, you have found the right person. ”

Davis hurriedly waved his hand, determined to win this big business!

That's right, big business.

The other party obviously wants to find legal counsel, and as we all know, this kind of business is easy to make money and not tired, let alone get into trouble, and has always been a favorite of lawyers.

How do you make me believe you...... Guo Yongkun restrained his smile and said, "Mr. Davis, to be honest, I am currently renting your building, and I happened to see a law firm here, so I came over to have a look." But...... IMHO, my business is not small and involves a lot of things, and you may not live up to my requirements. ”

Looking down on people?

The last thing I'm afraid of Davis is a client like you.

It's time to embody my professionalism.

As for what "the scale of the business is not small", he didn't take it to heart, and it was impossible for someone who was too small to hire legal counsel. It should be similar to opening a restaurant or something, many people in Chinatown do this business, and Chinese food has a considerable fixed audience in the United States, and he also likes it, the kind without chili peppers.

"Please wait. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, walked briskly to his desk, pulled open the drawer, took out a large pile of notebooks, and sat back down.

"Mr. Guo, please take a look, these are the certificates I hold, including the graduation certificate of my magna laude student at Columbia University......"

It turned out to be a graduate of Columbia?

Guo Yongkun was stunned, wouldn't that be my sister and Sister Lia's...... Senior?

Master of Laws, also an honor student, these certificates must be real, then this guy has a bit of ability, how can he be like this?

What amazes Guo Yongkun even more is that this guy also worked for General Electric as an intern legal consultant, which seems to be his first job after graduation.

The General Electric Building is in Rockefeller Center, and he only visited it yesterday, and it is one of the top 500 companies in the world.

"Mr. Davis, it's a coincidence that I have two older sisters who are students at Columbia. Guo Yongkun squinted and smiled.

To be honest, he had doubts about the authenticity of these certificates.

There's no reason why someone with this kind of credentialing would huddle down and open a small law firm in Chinatown. If there is any discrimination, he is an authentic white man.

The implication is obvious, I want to confirm the authenticity of your academic qualifications, it is a very simple matter.

"Yes, in your Chinese words, that's really fate! Hearing you say that, I can't wait to get to know the two juniors right away. Davis was pleasantly surprised, smiling.

Well?

There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Is this a strong heart, deceitful to the point where even you are deeply involved in it, or is there really no fear?

"I have a question. Guo Yongkun said suddenly.

"Mr. Guo, please speak. ”

"If Mr. Davis has such qualifications and achievements, how can he ......?" he said and paused, his eyes wandering around.

I believe that the other party will definitely understand the meaning.

Speaking of this, Davis couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile: "Because I offended people, there will be no big law firms or well-known companies in New York that will hire me, unless I leave here, but this is my hometown, I don't want to leave, my elderly parents still live here." ”

It turned out to be because of this...... Then the person you offended is not small. Guo Yongkun thought to himself.

People with this energy are either high-level government officials or business tycoons.

Then he doesn't want to provoke him.

It's not a wise move to make enemies when you just come to the United States, even if your credentials and qualifications are genuine, but as long as you have money, it's not hard to find a good lawyer, he just doesn't know the place for the time being, and he hasn't figured out the way.

"Who?" he asked.

"Donald ***. ”

“......”

There is no mistake
