95. Conflict of Interest
Zhou Mo went to the emperor this time to close the case of the import and export of Guangyao solar panels. In addition to him, several other responsible lawyers and relevant departments are in the imperial capital, and instead of letting them fly to Shanghai on New Year's Day, he used to complete the finishing work at one time, which is obviously more efficient.
And Yao An's case was also said in person when Lin Xi learned that he was in the imperial capital.
The two got on the online car-hailing car that Fan Yue had booked.
Zhou Mo didn't know where Fan Yue heard the news that he had taken over the case, but he only knew that the little woman beside him fell into a dark and low pressure mood at this moment.
"I didn't know it was your friend's boyfriend."
Fan Yue said lightly, "I didn't know that my friend's boyfriend was your client." β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhou Mo probably knew what she was awkward, and emphasized, "To be exact, it's Zhou Zheng's customer, not my customer." β
What about the definition of law with her?
Fan Yue closed her eyes, then opened them, and said neatly, "You are Zhou Zheng's partner, isn't Zhou Zheng's client your client, doesn't Zhou Zheng's lawyer's fee go into your pocket?" β
The man looked at her, heard that her tone was a little rushed, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she said tepidly, "According to your logic, you are an employee of Huixin, and Huixin's customers are your customers, are all the management fees collected by Huixin into your pocket?" β
Fan Yue's mind was stunned for a moment by what he said, and when he reacted to it, he secretly changed his concept, which was not the same thing at all, the man had already spoken again, "Is it really because I charged the lawyer's fee, or am I dissatisfied because I am on the opposite side of your friend?" β
She slowly turned her head sideways to meet his gaze, "hummed" from her nose, then took out her mobile phone, tapped on the screen, set Jiang Lan Yipin as the way point, and added Yuezhen Apartment as the end point of the taxi.
Zhou Mo frowned when he saw it, and took her mobile phone as soon as he got started, "Fan Yue, don't make trouble." β
Fan Yue didn't rush to snatch the phone back, but said lightly, "I didn't make a fuss." β
The man's deep dark eyes stared at her for a while, not as stiff as the previous formula for communicating with customers, and his voice was a little softer, "I don't understand why you're angry about this, but I don't mind if you want to pour your anger on me." β
"But in this case, your friend found a lawyer a few days ago and sent a lawyer's letter to Mr. Yao. You haven't asked me about this in the past two days, and judging by your reaction, I guess you only found out about it today. β
Fan Yue saw the stitches, "I still heard from Zhuo Zheng about your business trip to the imperial capital, and you only told me when you arrived in the imperial capital, how could I have the opportunity to ask?" β
Zhou Mo looked at her quietly awkwardly, not in a hurry or impatient, "I also suddenly received a notice at noon on New Year's Day that the case was passed, and I wanted to go to the imperial capital to deal with the aftermath." I didn't tell you that I was wrong. β
His attitude was sincere and indifferent, and Fan Yuenunu expressed his dissatisfaction and stopped arguing with him.
"Back to Yao An's caseβ"
Seeing that her mood was calmer, the man said a word, Fan Yue stretched out her hand and interrupted in front of his face like a traffic policeman, "Stop, as the lawyer of the other party's law firm, I have the obligation to keep my friend confidential, and it is inconvenient to discuss with you if there is a conflict of interest." β
Zhou Mo chuckled, she deliberately said it very rigorously, and also emphasized the lawyer who represented the law firm. I'm afraid I learned this set after staying with him for a long time. Holding her little hand in front of his eyes and clasping it directly in his palm, he ignored her struggles and kissed her mouth, "Okay, I don't plan to talk to you about this." β
"What I want to say is that Yao An is now an executive of Langyi East China, and you can find it on their official website. Zhou Zheng and Langyi only signed a cooperation agreement this year, and even if your friend comes to me directly through you, Zhou Zheng will not be able to take her case. β
"Benefit-benefit-rush-conflict." At the end, he paused word by word, and replied in her words, without hiding the tone of ridicule and amusement, "Are you still satisfied with this explanation?" β
He directly moved out of the legal and contractual relationship, what else could she do if she was dissatisfied. Fan Yue got stuck in his chest with a sullen breath, and finally had to swallow it by himself.
Zhou Mo saw that she was still a little emotional, rubbed her fluffy little head and pulled the person closer to her arms to continue to enlighten, "Think about it yourself, your friend didn't tell you, there must be some concerns or something you don't want your acquaintances to know." If we have taken on her case, you will definitely be curious to ask me about the progress of the negotiations. I can't help but be coquettish when you are coquettish, and when the time comes, I will be comfortable with my service, and I will leak customer secrets to you if my mouth is not strict, and you will not blurt out when you chat with friends, and I will not violate the confidentiality agreement of customer information? β
"I guess you're kind enough to try to introduce me to clients but didn't succeed, so you sulked. Isn't it? β
Fan Yue was a little confused at the moment, and it was Zhao Jiaxi or Zhou Mo who was angry.
The conflict between her and Zhao Jiaxi, whether it is from Jason telling her that Zhao Jiaxi and Su Jingyu had a leg, or the relationship between her and her not treating her as a girlfriend at the moment......
She wants to just let time heal, but it doesn't mean that there is no knot in her heart.
So what kind of anger is she getting angry with Zhou Mo?
She couldn't find a reason, and since the man gave her the steps, she went down the stairs, and after a moment of silence, she let out a soft "um".
"Then I'm done explaining, don't be angry."
"Hmm."
"What do you want to eat at night, I'll make it for you?"
"Hmm."
She said "um" a few times, and the man naturally noticed that Fan Yue, who had no emotion answering machine, hooked the corners of her mouth, "Then live with me before the Spring Festival?" β
"Uh-huhββ?" Fan Yue grabbed her throat and subconsciously responded, finding that she didn't pull the tail and continued to rise, and she couldn't stop her from agreeing that she had already broken her throat.
Without giving her a chance to change her words, Zhou Mo pinched her chin with one hand, raised the person's head slightly, lowered his head and kissed her lips deeply.
There is also a driver in the front seat, so he naturally won't mess around. After tasting a little sweetness, he loosened his lips and blocked her from repenting.
One hand detoured Fan Yue's waist and pinched it faintly and vigorously, lowered her voice in her ear, and said provocatively, "It's been so many days...... Don't want to? β
"No...... Don't want to. β
"Well, then I think."
Zhou Mo was also very action-oriented, and before the two of them stepped into Jianglan No. 1's apartment, he impatiently dragged the person up with his hips and strode directly to the bedroom......
*
And Fan Yue was so "unwilling" that she was deceived home again and lived a "captive" life.
Zhou Zheng has an unwritten rule every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, as long as you leave early and are absent from work after work, you can work from home.
And Zhou Mo returned to clocking in and out on time, the senior lawyers didn't care, but it made the remaining employees of the law firm panic.
In addition to Zhou Mo, even Zhuo Zheng began to follow suit, appearing in the office more and more frequently.
Didn't the two bosses have to make attendance records and surprise inspections before the Spring Festival?
The lawyer assistant beside Zhuo Zheng was once again pushed into Zhuo Zheng's office as a pioneer to explore the "enemy situation".
"Ahem, Zhuo Lu," she knocked on the door of Zhuo Zheng's office, holding a dozen materials in her hand, "This is the final plan for this year's Holiday-Party, no problem, you can sign it and I'll send it over there." β
Zhuo Zheng took it and flipped it twice, and explained, "It's the final pricing after changing the number of people, right?" β
"Yes, yes, I also reserved 50 people, and then the "Career New" program team needed to shoot an hour in advance was also confirmed."
"Okay," Zhuo Zheng waved his pen and signed the document below and handed it to the little assistant, but the other party stopped standing and moving without going out.
Zhuo Zheng put down the pen, "Is there anything else?" β
"Oh, oh, it's nothing, it's just that you and Zhou Lu have been very busy recently, it's not going to be the Spring Festival, you still come to the office every day to work hard, and you have the momentum of competing for the best name-partner of the year...... I'm afraid that Zhuo Lu is tired, do you want to call you an afternoon tea or something to replenish your strength? β
Replenish your stamina?
How could she not hear the dedication of her words, "You don't know about Canxing, the customer is in a hurry to go public three months after the Spring Festival, who in the group is not busy with dogs?" You want to buy 10 or 20 servings of afternoon tea, and everyone will share it later. β
As an assistant, she naturally knows the reason why Zhuo Zheng is busy, but there is still a boss who is full of attendance and has no reason to speak? The little assistant had an idea, "I see that Zhou Lu and their group are also very busy, do you want to order one over there?" β
"Hey?" Seeing that his own people turned against Zhou Mo and cared about him, Zhuo Zheng was unhappy, "Are you my person or his person?" If you want to please Boss Zhou, you will pay for the afternoon tea by yourself, do you want to consider changing to work under him by the way? β
The little assistant has long been accustomed to Zhuo Zheng's indecent style in private, and he doesn't care, "Ouch, I'm Zhuo Lu's person in life, and Zhuo Lu's ghost in death, how dare I?" β
"Count your reality, but it's a waste of money for you to please Zhou Mo, and your boss Zhou is now focusing on your little girlfriend."
In fact, Boss Zhou's acceptance by a young girl has long become a gossip talk after tea and dinner in Zhou Zheng's office. It's just that Zhuo Zheng said this, then it was a proper real hammer, and the little assistant no longer beat around the bush, and went straight to the point, "So every time Zhou Lu goes to work on time, it's for his girlfriend?" β
"Or else?" Zhuo Zheng adjusted his sitting posture and lifted Erlang's legs, "Boss Zhou, the person who hates overtime the most, since I met him, is this completely in love now, okay?" Pick up and drop off people to and from work all day long, how many extra shifts are just to be able to accompany people on weekends? Don't have any eyesight? β
The little assistant came out of Zhuo Zheng's office, ordered afternoon tea, called a few little sisters in Zhuo Zheng's group to gather around the front desk excitedly, and pulled Vanessa to gossip together.
After hearing the news, everyone exclaimed this important news in a suppressed voice, and Vanessa was not shocked, "Ouch, what's the fuss, didn't Zhou Lu have a girlfriend?" What's so strange, don't make yourself look like you've never seen the world, oh no, you haven't seen Zhou Lu's girlfriend. β
Vanessa tilted her arrogant little head and finished her sentence with great disdain and arrogance, and glanced down at everyone.
The crowd was quiet for a moment, and thenβ
"I'll go, Vanessa, have you seen Zhou Lu's girlfriend?"
"Who, who?!"
"She came to our law firm?"
"Isn't it pretty? How much smaller than Zhou Lu? β
As everyone was discussing, they heard the sound of the glass door opening in front of the front desk, and a young girl in a pink coat and carrying a white furry bag walked in.
"Excuse me, is Zhou Mo here?"
"Yes, yes." When the other party came, the lobby doorman called to inform him, and Vanessa quickly got up to lead the way.
Zhuo Zheng's little assistant saw them go far away and looked at it, and saw the two of them stepping on the stairs to the second floor, and immediately turned his head, "I see Vanessa taking someone to the senior lawyer's office!" β
"Didn't go to the conference room? It's not a customer, is it? β
"Could this be the 'little girlfriend'?"
Someone raised their heads, and everyone's gossip souls were ignited.
"I look so young, I'm pink, I haven't graduated from college, right?"
"That's too small, isn't it? Zhou Lu is serious and abstinent all day long, I always thought he liked the cold and glamorous royal sister type, but he really liked the cute girl under the year? β
"Aha, isn't this the realistic version of the domineering president's little wife?"
"But that girl looks, she can't get along with a cute girl when she's young...... Zhou Lu shouldn't be able to look down on it, right? β
The crowd didn't disperse for a long time, just waiting for Vanessa to come back and provide first-hand information.
