Chapter 219: You're a Playboy

One of the two interns next to Joseph was a woman, and one of them interjected with a little sarcasm: "Yes, yes, our boss prefers electronic technology, for example, our employee cards have GP location signals, oh, and Bluetooth devices, so the boss can know where we are anytime and anywhere." As long as we are still for half an hour, someone will pay attention to us......

Hi, my name is Helen, her name is Maria, I am the administrative assistant of Joseph's lawyer, Maria is Joseph's paralegal, we are just short of a man here, we need a male assistant, if you can do a good job, you are Joseph's new assistant. ”

As he spoke, Joseph exchanged a few words with the security guard at the gate, and the security guard on duty took An Feng's employee card and went to the computer next to him for registration processing...... Two minutes later, the group walked out of the heavily guarded gate.

The precautions here ...... Full of KGB flavor.

An Feng muttered in his heart, and followed lawyer Joseph out of the building and came to the parking lot in front of the building - An Feng's Smart was parked in the underground parking lot, at this time, no one knew that An Feng had a car, and it was a cool Smart

Lawyer Joseph's car was a modified "Peugeot" business tourer, the back seat of the station wagon was converted into a mobile office, the rear of the car was a sofa chair with a half-circle around, and the back of the driver's seat was changed to a computer desk, under which a refrigerator, a coffee seat, and a water purifier were hidden.

The two female assistants skillfully followed Joseph into the back seat without saying hello, and Joseph himself sat in the center of the circular sofa and greeted An Feng, who was standing at the door of the car hesitantly: "Hi Carlson, let me see how familiar you are with Paris - go and drive, we are short of a driver." ”

Occasionally, if it's good to come to be a trainee lawyer, the table treats me as a trainee driver

However, people under the eaves can't help but bow their heads.

An Feng is indeed very familiar with Paris, he has a vivid memory, in high school, he rode a bicycle all over the streets of Paris, Joseph casually said an address, An Feng groaned for three seconds, immediately found the nearest route, drove the car concisely and through the street, and pulled everyone to the destination.

It's a famous Arabic-style restaurant, and there's a bit of hierarchy inside. Joseph's dining seat was in the VIP seat on the steps, but An Feng and the two female assistants had to squat in the ordinary guest seats under the steps. Of course, they can't worry about dining, and the two female assistants pay attention to Joseph's movements on the stage at any time, so that An Feng has to follow the crowd and pay attention to the stage frequently.

I haven't squatted under the stage to watch others eat for many years.

Joseph was talking to a client who looked a bit like an Indian or a Pakistani – of course, the two were the same thing.

The client had a mustache on his upper lip, his skin was not dark, his eye sockets were deep, and his hair was dark brown - the high-caste Indians were white Aryans, and they never tanned, and the Indian actors who played the movie were not of high caste.

Joseph's meeting with the other party was not pleasant, and the two were arguing about something from the beginning. As he spoke, Joseph rushed down and waved, Helen immediately pushed away the stool, trotted up the steps with a stack of materials, and then she stood beside Joseph, constantly taking out different folders according to the other party's request, Joseph browsed a little, and then handed over the relevant files to the client.

Only Maria and An Feng were left at the table here, and Maria's eyes were fixed on Joseph's position, and she said, "You...... When I first came to Ha, I suddenly saw a playboy smell, and sure enough, I guessed right. ”

An Feng looked innocent and asked rhetorically: "Why do you say that?" I didn't provoke you. ”

The word playboy is not all derogatory abroad. Most of the time, it is somewhat similar to the context of the "rich second generation" in China. And the person who says this word often contains a hint of ...... in context Envy, jealousy, hatred

Maria's eyes continued to stare in Joseph's direction, with a look of concern for her boss's movements, and she whispered: "I have been with Joseph for a year, and I often go to various restaurants to eat. But I never learned to order, to eat, it was a 'job' for me, I just had to fill my stomach, and I never cared about the celebrity chefs in the restaurant. So, even if I go to the restaurant myself, I only order a few familiar dishes. But you just ......"

Maria paused, continued to stare intently at her boss, and said, "You ordered food just now, oh, it gave me such a different feeling, probably, it's people like you." When you come up, you ask the chef first, and then ask the chef what he is good at, and you don't even look at the menu, and you casually say what you need, and you don't mean to ask about the price of the meal at all.

Joseph also used to go to restaurants, and I had a lot of meals with Joseph. But Joseph was never like you...... Sophisticated, well, and should say, 'There's a panache, right?' This is a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, and regular guests need to make a reservation in advance. The food in these restaurants is very expensive, but I see that you have seen the three-star Michelin logo and you have never frowned, so you must be a gentleman, and you must have been haunting these restaurants in the past. ”

After a pause, Maria sighed softly again: "Actually, in our industry, being a barrister will make a lot of money, but just running errands, and the money you get can only make ends meet, not everyone can be a barrister, not everyone can make a lot of money." I don't believe that you can come and go in such an expensive restaurant with your own income. ”

An Feng smiled, leaned over, and whispered mysteriously in the tone of "tell you a secret": "Aha, I was discovered by you." That's right, I do have a little money, well, my father left me a small inheritance. Of course, I couldn't expect this inheritance to last a lifetime, so I used the money to pay for my tuition and study as a lawyer, hoping that this profession would make my life better in the future. ”

Maria nodded, "Oh, got it." ”

An Feng believed that his confession would soon be passed on to Joseph.

Then Maria didn't say much, and An Feng also took this opportunity to organize his thoughts...... He suddenly remembered that the law firm had its own intranet, but he didn't find the corresponding web server location. An Feng never believes that the firm's intranet is hosted and maintained by unrelated personnel, so there should be an equipment library in the firm, in which the corresponding network server is placed, and the firm's internal top-secret information must be stored in the server.

Just now, An Feng received a personal laptop issued by the firm, which is said to have undergone special anti-virus treatment, but ...... This must be fooling the layman, An Feng believes that there must be digital footprint tracking software installed in it, once he enters the information database that he should not enter, the person responsible for maintaining the database will find his movements as soon as possible.

Well, this is his first day, and at this time, the action should not be too obvious.

In the midst of the silence, the quarrel in the VIP seats finally calmed down, and Joseph's client seemed to accept his explanation, and Helen returned to the small table with the folder to continue eating, and the customer began to chat with Joseph. Helen, who returned to the table, immediately showed her ability to see six ways, her eyes were fixed in the direction of Joseph, but her mouth was asking, "You two, what did you just talk about?" ”

Before An Feng could answer, Maria interjected in time: "I just thought that Carlson's ordering appearance was very pretentious, well, very gentlemanly and noble, and after asking, I found out that Carlson has a small inheritance in his hand, and he really hasn't treated his stomach badly before." ”

Helen stared at Joseph with her eyes and asked, "It seems that this customer has been done, what are the arrangements between the two of you tonight, I got a few tickets to the Crazy Horse nightclub, how about we go to see the Crazy Horse show?" ”

Both women were staring in the direction of their supervisor, but the conversation they were talking about had nothing to do with the supervisor's job. Maria replied calmly: "If this contract is signed, we will probably have to work overtime tonight, and your 'Crazy Horse,' will definitely not be able to see it tonight." ”

Helen expertly continued: "...... But tomorrow will definitely be free. As is customary, after the contract is signed, we will have a day or two of relaxation, and although we still work, we will not be too busy, and maybe we will get a bonus if we have a holiday, where are you going to go. ”

"I'm going to get a good night's sleep. Oh my God, since I left school, I slept less every day than I did during school, and I always worked and socialized when I woke up. Socializing and working, I am like a donkey pulling a mill. ”

Helen glanced at An Feng, continued to stare in Joseph's direction, and said, "We have a new assistant, Joseph once promised me that when our new assistant is familiar with the work, the two of us can take turns on vacation." ”

Maria let out a soft cheer: "It's finally time for another vacation, I'm too busy." ”

At this time, lawyer Joseph in the VIP seat had already stood up to shake hands with the client, the client stood up, the voice was a little louder, and An Feng only heard a few vague words - "Villa Beiruta...... Transport...

The words are spoken in French, but with a distinctly Pakistani accent.

Indians speak French with a slimy tongue, often sticking to the roof of the palate to the point where the tail note is muffled – the French say it's curry-flavored French. Pakistanis, on the other hand, speak French, and the final note is always very resolute, which sounds a bit cold...... Of course, what An Feng said is a general phenomenon, and some special cases are not excluded.

Joseph motioned for his assistant to come to the VIP seat, and the Pakistani client got up and walked out. As the two groups of people staggered by, a few people suddenly stood up in the VIP seats, and these people quickly caught up with the Pakistani, and then walked out around the customer. Joseph was stunned for a moment at this sudden situation, then smiled in understanding and beckoned his assistant to sit down.

The two female assistants, apparently seeing too much of the client's mystery, immediately lowered their gaze and stood aside to get out of the way, and then one by one, quietly sat down next to Joseph's seat, until the group walked out of the restaurant, and the two female assistants raised their eyes and turned their inquiring gaze to Joseph.

Joseph pushed away the plate in disgust, his eyes sparkled, and his emotions were obviously excited to ask the assistant's opinion: "Shall we change the restaurant, or continue?" Oh, I hate the meals at this restaurant, but our customers have already paid for our meals...... Well, I see you guys eating well offstage, do you have any good food recommendations? ”

Drinking and smoking were generally not allowed in Arabic restaurants, and this was clearly not in line with Joseph's habit - he wanted to celebrate now.

Helen pointed at An Feng: "He understands, he ordered our dishes, and this guy has obviously tasted the craftsmanship of various chefs in various restaurants." ”

Joseph glanced at An Feng curiously: "I also often eat in various restaurants, but I don't know what is delicious in Arabic restaurants, I think they eat all paste, which is as bad as British food." ”

There is no disparagement in this sentence, it is purely a French joke. The French love to satirize British cuisine the most, and that's it.

An Feng was accepted by the law firm because Ryan had made meticulous preparations before, and he knew what type of people the firm needed. So An Feng calmly explained the prepared background: "My second degree is Arabic literature, well, I don't really love Arabic literature, but when I was in college, the goddess I wanted to pursue happened to be a beautiful Turkish girl." ”

Joseph showed a manly smile, he reached out and patted An Feng's shoulder, smiled understandingly, handed over a stack of files with his backhand, and said: "I didn't expect to pick up a treasure, haha, one of the investors of our firm is an Arab, so the main business of the firm is to help Arabs expand their investment in the West."

There's an Arabic document here, you know, Arabs like to use proverbs, they always like to have something in their words...... You can help me check the translations of this text to see what is wrong with them. ”

An Feng took the document, and Joseph immediately added: "This matter is not in a hurry, let's hurry up and eat, there is a trial ...... in the afternoon."

Nima, are you telling me to go home after work and work overtime, or do you want to work overtime?

O wicked capitalists.

Coming out of the Arabic restaurant, a group of people hurried to the courthouse.

In court, there is a lot of talk, and An Feng, a new intern, is also a bag watcher. Previously, Joseph and his two female assistants did not introduce An Feng to An Feng, and An Feng, who was completely unaware of the midway joining, could only sit in the auditorium to help Joseph look at his bag - to enter the courtroom, he needed to apply for a lawyer's seat in advance to the court, and this application needed to be submitted by the lawyer in charge of the defense before the trial. Obviously, An Feng was lucky to be able to enter the auditorium.

Joseph's fierce argument with man... It has nothing to do with An Feng, An Feng doesn't know anything from beginning to end of this case. Sitting in the auditorium, he was bored for a while, and seeing that no one was paying attention, An Feng quietly picked up three bags and the coats of the three people, sneaked out of the courtroom, and pretended to be in a hurry and walked in the direction of the bathroom.

There are many bag-bearers like An Feng in the corridors of the courtroom, all of whom are trainee lawyers who have just entered the industry. Like An Feng, after they got out of the bathroom, they would rather wander in the corridor than enter the courtroom room, because the excitement had nothing to do with them, and they would have to be restrained a lot when they sat in.

After a while, Joseph appeared in the hallway of the courthouse wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, ponytails, a navy blue office suit, and a stack of papers—it is unknown how she managed to get into the courthouse. However, her current appearance is very similar to the tea girl who is constantly shuttling and handing documents in the courtroom corridor.

When she and An Feng staggered, An Feng's hand shook, three sets of keys and three employee cards of Joseph Helen and others were transferred to Joseph, Joseph continued to walk without squinting with the file, she went up another floor, chose an unmanned judge's office, swaggered open the door and entered, and began to hide inside to copy the key and read the information in the employee card.

This kind of thing can be done, but An Feng can't do it. First, during An Feng's work, he cannot hide relevant equipment on his body. In addition, Joseph can hide in any office at will, in case he is bumped into, it is a big deal to throw down his things and run away, which has no impact on the entire action plan, but An Feng does this, in case he is bumped into, he will inevitably be exposed, and the entire task will not be carried out.

Fortunately, Joseph was lucky, and the empty judge's office was never in or out, perhaps because the owner of the office was on vacation or on a business trip.

Half an hour later, Joseph reappeared in the corridor with the file folder, she went down one floor, and found that An Feng was no longer in the corridor, so she did not hesitate to push open the door of Joseph's courtroom, and then pretended to deliver documents, and quietly sat in the audience, moving her body gradually forward without attracting attention - this is a common phenomenon in court, lawyers or prosecutors carry incomplete documents, and often ask someone from the office to send them. In order not to affect the progress of the court argument, the person who delivered the document would sit in the audience seat after coming in, and then hand the document to the paralegal unobtrusively.

The court argument was very intense, and everyone just glanced in the direction of the new tea girl, and immediately shifted their attention to the direction of the jurors, prosecutors, and judges. In this trial, An Feng was just a bag bearer, and no one noticed that a file folder was handed over from behind.

After An Feng took the file folder, he borrowed the back of the chair in front of him to block the view of others, opened the file folder into a gap, and after seeing the several keys and employee cards glued on it, his hand quickly wiped it in the file folder, and after taking off the documents and keys, his left hand flipped over, and a piece of glasses cloth coated with a special potion appeared in his palm, his hand was placed under the chair, and he quickly wiped off the glue marks left on the key and the employee card, and then shook his hand lightly, and the key and the employee card returned to the lawyer's bag next to him.

No one noticed when Joseph left.

At the end of the two-hour trial, the judge announced the adjournment of the trial, and everyone in the courtroom stood up, packed their backpacks and prepared to leave. Joseph led his aides out of the court building and explained in detail the main points of debate during the trial

Of course, this is not a teaching, but a task for his assistants to help him recall and clear his mind, and at the same time to fill in the gaps and prepare a file for the next debate. As a new intern, An Feng also casually interjected a few words to help Mr. Joseph clear his mind - with his IQ to do this, he is naturally familiar with heavy lifting.

So, after returning to the firm, An Feng was promoted, and his office was moved up one floor into the exclusive office of lawyer Joseph on the second floor......
