Chapter 110: The last person she wants to see
Early Monday morning, the sky was a little grey. Shen Linxi drove the car, crowded in the traffic, and slowly moved forward. If it hadn't been for the law firm to inform her that there was an important meeting she needed to attend in the morning, she wouldn't have been looking for abuse on the street early in the morning filled with car exhaust fumes and the screeching sound of horns!
She stopped and stopped all the way, and by the time she got to the law firm, her back was sore and numb. This morning, her energy was almost exhausted on the road.
Sitting in the conference room of the law firm, Shen Linxi saw some partners and lawyers who had not met for a long time. These lawyers have a very good impression of her, and some of them have also worked with her on cases, and they all praise Shen Linxi's ability. Therefore, when we met today, these lawyers greeted her warmly and asked her how she was doing.
Linxi smiled and chatted with everyone, and there was a faint joy in her heart. After all, being recognized by her colleagues, especially heavyweight lawyers, shows in itself that her value is quite good.
After Yue Bin, the director of the law firm, entered the conference room, everyone gradually quieted down. Yue Bin has always been straight to the point, concise and to the point, and crisp. However, today he seemed to be in a higher mood, and his tone of voice was full of excitement that he rarely had.
He first briefly summarized the business situation of the law firm in the past period of time, and then changed the conversation, and said that in addition to continuing to maintain a very competitive advantage in the field of traditional business, the law firm has now opened up a gratifying situation in non-litigation business, such as investment, company listing, mergers and acquisitions and other businesses. With the development of this type of business, the comprehensive competitiveness of law firms will be greatly improved.
"Last Friday, we received an invitation from M, one of the world's largest investment banks, to select our firm as their partner in China. ”
As soon as the news was announced, everyone's faces were initially in disbelief, but they quickly came back to their senses and reacted enthusiastically.
"Yue Lu, this must be celebrated and celebrated! We're going to create a new situation! ”
"That's right, with a customer like Company M, it is a golden sign that we will publicize to the outside world in the future!"
"I told you a long time ago, you have been too conservative in the past few years, and you lack the courage to make bold moves."
"Yes, yes, I have to change my mind, and I have to take a lofty development route with us!"
"Traditional business also has a high level, now we are litigation, non-litigation, both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard!"
For a while, everyone was beaming with joy and teasing each other, and smiles were dancing in the corners of everyone's eyes and eyebrows, as if in front of them, there was already a golden avenue, and it was covered with a lot of banknotes, which could be obtained at any time.
In fact, this is really good news, because having such a high-end client is crucial to improving the brand image of the law firm.
"Professional lawyer team, perfect business capabilities, high-quality legal services" and other publicity, and then launched a landmark client, a top international investment bank. This is the embodiment of strength! This is the best proof of this! This is the most effective propaganda weapon! If the reputation of the law firm is outside, then the lawyers who will naturally benefit from it.
Everyone was smiling, Yue Bin looked at the happy scene of everyone talking and laughing in front of him, as a senior partner and director of the law firm, he naturally had a sense of achievement. After all, if the law firm can enter the ranks of the top domestic brand law firms, he is also honored!
At this time, someone asked: "Yue Lu, is Company M going to carry out all our business with us in the near future, or is it going to be a strategic partner?" ”
Yue Bin glanced at everyone with a smile and said, "Well, just now I gave everyone a little time to digest this major benefit, and now I will start talking about the substance." ”
After everyone let out a burst of laughter, they all stared at Yue Bin's eyes, waiting for his next step.
I heard Yue Bin say solemnly: "Company M is going to invest in a large enterprise in Beijing in the near future. They asked us to assemble a legal team to assist their investment team in the investment project. ”
As soon as people heard this, they immediately started talking again: "This big company is really efficient!" So soon to negotiate a cooperation with us. Yue Lu, the legal service fee paid by Company M should not be low! ”
Yue Bin smiled: "It's not low, it's not low, it's quite generous." However, they put forward one condition. ”
His words immediately attracted everyone's attention again. Everyone's eyes looked at Yue Bin in unison.
Yue Bin said unhurriedly: "The condition put forward by the other party is that there must be a specific lawyer in the team we send to participate, and she must be the leader of the team. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look puzzled. Someone immediately asked, "So this lawyer from our firm has a relationship with Company M." But that's not right! ”
"That's right, if it's like you think, then it should be this lawyer who talks about this business directly, not Company M who comes to contact Yue Lu."
"Yue Lu, which lawyer does the other party ask to participate and lead the team? Moreover, who is so powerful that he asked Company M to name and ask to participate in person? ”
Everyone looked at Yue Bin very curiously, waiting for him to quickly uncover the mystery. However, Yue Bin was unusually today, he did not directly say the name of the lawyer, but said calmly: "To say, although this lawyer is young, she has been working in our firm for six or seven years.
Her business level is not to mention, and customer satisfaction is also very high. In the past few years, she has also achieved remarkable results in non-litigation business. According to Company M, they saw the lawyer's introduction on our website and fully understood the projects that the lawyer had done, so they appointed her to lead the team. After Lawyer Yue finished speaking, he glanced at everyone meaningfully.
The lawyers present looked left and right, and everyone swept over the faces of others with their research eyes, and in the end, many people's eyes were invariably focused on Shen Linxi. There was a little doubt and amusement in their eyes, and Linxi was a little embarrassed by them.
The gaze that everyone cast at her strongly accentuated her sense of existence, and her presence at this time seemed to bring an unknown commotion to people's hearts.
And then, Shen Linxi just wanted to pretend to be calm, which was a little difficult. Because, after being silent for a few seconds, Yue Bin directly announced: "The lawyer appointed by Company M is Lawyer Shen." Personally, I think that with Linxi's years of experience, she is enough to take on this important responsibility, so she will lead the lawyer team this time, and this is also at the request of Company M. ”
For a while, there was silence in the conference room, and everyone looked at Shen Linxi with complicated emotions in their eyes.
In fact, just now, when Yue Bin hadn't said her name, Linxi had a vague premonition that what Yue Bin was talking about might be her based on the experience of the lawyer he said.
However, these partners here are all her seniors, all of whom are older than her, and everyone has rich business experience and seems to be qualified to be favored by Company M, so she is not completely sure that the person designated by Company M that Yue Bin said is herself.
Therefore, when the mystery was revealed, she couldn't help but stay for a few seconds, and then, her heart was flooded with turbulent waves.
On the one hand, she's really excited. Being able to lead the team to work with Company M and provide them with legal services will give her a dazzling layer of brilliance on her lawyer resume and will also open up a broader world for her future development. This is the resume that countless lawyers dream of!
However, on the other hand, Linxi felt very uneasy. Because, with such a young age, it seems difficult to convince the public to get such a precious opportunity! Perhaps, it would be more accurate to say that whoever such an opportunity falls on will attract the envy and jealousy of others.
Now, the hearts of the other lawyers here must have mixed feelings, right? They must think: how did such a fragrant extra-large pie happen to hit her head? Could it be that there is something else hidden in this?
After all, in everyone's cognition, Shen Linxi has not yet become famous enough to let Company M take a look at the lawyer profile of the law firm and name her to participate in the project, right? Moreover, she was also asked to be the lawyer who led the team, what is the face of these senior partners, and how can they be embarrassed?
Shen Linxi's hands couldn't help but clasp together gently, her back was straight, and her eyes looked at Yue Bin quietly. Yue Bin nodded vigorously, glanced at her with a smile in his eyes, and then said to her, "Linxi, congratulations!" It's great to have such an opportunity! I am sure that you will lead the team to successfully complete this project and win glory for us! ”
After speaking, Yue Bin took the lead in applauding enthusiastically. When the other lawyers saw this, they applauded one or two. The atmosphere seemed to be harmonious and enthusiastic again.
Quietly, she seemed to have suddenly become the core figure of the law firm. For the rest of the day, she received many congratulations from her colleagues, many of whom asked her to celebrate. When it was time to get off work, Shen Linxi's smile was a little stiff. She packed up the computer and all kinds of materials on the table, and was coaxed by everyone until the excitement slowly calmed down.
When she got into the car and fastened her seatbelt, she couldn't help but let out a long breath. In the past few days, her mood has been like a roller coaster, with ups and downs and huge fluctuations: first she was framed by the fake photo incident, then she was unexpectedly harassed by Xing Junfeng, then she was thrilling in the bar, then she had an unexpected reunion with Yin Yichen, and then today's big surprise.
This series of things is really stimulating people's nerves, she should find someone to have a glass of wine with her and suppress the shock, right? Shen Linxi couldn't help but laugh herself. However, today's exciting event swept away her rather frustrated mood in the past few days.
This is really a sunrise through the clouds! Could it be that life is honing her qualities and testing her resilience? If, after the twists and turns, it ends with such a comedy, then all the troubles in front of it now seem to be floating clouds.
Linxi was teasing herself in a happy mood, and her mobile phone rang suddenly. With a smile on her face, she took out her mobile phone from her bag, and thought to herself, who is the person who wants to share the joy with her?
She excitedly brought her phone to her eyes, and immediately, the bright smile on her face froze. What a disappointment! It's the last person she wants to see! Linxi casually threw the phone back into her bag, and the ringtone continued to ring boringly, while she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, humming a song casually, and slowly drove the car out of the parking space.
She drove to an intersection, stopped the car, and while waiting for the red light to turn green, she heard the sound of a text message notification on her phone. Shen Linxi didn't want to pay attention to it, but it was boring to wait for the light, so she still picked up her phone.
I saw the text message read: "Linxi, I'm sorry, I drank too much that night, offended you, and I was too much of a jerk." I dare not ask for your forgiveness, but please give me a chance to apologize to you in person, otherwise I will never be able to sleep. Linxi, I'm waiting for you at the south gate of Kvis, and I'll be waiting for you all the time. Peak"
Shen Linxi snorted coldly, and casually threw the mobile phone to the co-pilot's seat. She started the car and drove forward. Remembering the situation of that night, her heart was filled with panic. She could not forgive Xing Junfeng for desecrating the friendship between classmates and trampling on her dignity.
Will a shameless person like him still have trouble sleeping? It's just laughing! Even if he really can't sleep and eat, it is also the end of his own sin, he should change his mind, change his life, and be a new person!
After Shen Linxi criticized Xing Junfeng again in his heart, the anger that surged up just now gradually calmed down. Fortunately, her interest was very high today, so this slander could be hastily ended.
She drove the car slowly with the traffic. She couldn't help but think of something she had been doing at school in the past. In fact, in all fairness, although Xing Junfeng pursued her positively and enthusiastically, he had always been self-denial and repentance, and there was no deviant practice.
And, whenever she needs help, he always does what he can to lend a hand. Whenever she needed manpower, equipment, and materials to organize activities, Xing Junfeng was also in front of the saddle, and actually solved a lot of worries for Linxi.
Shen Linxi thought of this, and her heart was a little loose. Supposedly, she shouldn't completely wipe out the whole person with just one thing. After all, Xing Junfeng was very good to her in the past, although he pursued his own purpose, however, many people do things with a purpose, as long as the purpose has nothing to do with principles, right or wrong, this is understandable.
Of course, this time, Xing Junfeng has gone too far, but if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? Do you really want to wipe him out? Is it really incompatible with him?
Shen Linxi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to glance at the road signs, and at the same time, her brain was fighting fiercely. Finally, as she was about to cross the right-turning lane, she glanced in her rearview mirror, while her hand shook the steering wheel firmly, and then, as if determined, she pulled the car into the right-hand turn.
When she saw Xing Junfeng at the south gate of the school, Xing Junfeng was lowering his head and pacing slowly beside his car, as if he was thinking about something. When he saw the radiant Shen Linxi appear in front of him in an elegant professional uniform, a trace of embarrassment appeared in his eyes.
He immediately stepped forward, but when he saw Linxi stop, he hurriedly stopped his steps, and then whispered: "Linxi, you are here, thank you!" ”
Lin Xi said in a cold voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
A trace of gloom flashed in Xing Junfeng's eyes, with a wry smile on his face, he sighed in his mouth, and said: "Linxi, it's all me who is too bastard, I really didn't mean to offend you, I don't know how I could do something like that that night!" ”
Shen Linxi said with a serious face: "Have you finished speaking?" Then I'm gone. ”
Xing Junfeng was so anxious that he wanted to pull her, but his hand immediately retracted as if it was burned.
He said anxiously: "Linxi, I have something to say to you, can you walk around the campus with me?" ”
