Grassroots lawyers also have their day

Chapter 65 Senior Brother is indeed straightforward!

Pan Jinlian gave the Swiss chocolate to Wang Chuan, saying: "This is a sugar-coated bullet from the enemy (Li the sissy). The sugar can be eaten, but the bullet must be put back. Even if it can't be put back, it must be destroyed on the spot. We absolutely cannot let the enemy's ambitions succeed!"

Wang Chuan ate the chocolate, his feelings indescribable. He had to admit, Swiss chocolate was delicious! It tasted really good.

On Thursday night, Wang Chuan went to the bar to sing as usual, but when he finished his third song, Brother Liu came over: "Chuan'er, someone is looking for you! Over there." Brother Liu pointed to the sofa booth in the distance.

Who's looking for me? Could it be one of those beautiful women from the institute again? Wang Chuan walked in the direction Sixth Brother was pointing, looking on with suspicion.

When Wang Chuan saw Li Mubai sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face, he was shocked. He didn't expect Li Mubai to come to the bar to find him.

"Senior Brother, please sit down! I'd like to have a chat with you," the effeminate man said with a smile, his signature orchid finger raised.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li! I'm working right now, and I'm going upstairs to sing in a bit, so it might not be convenient for me." Wang Chuan didn't want to get involved in his affair with Pan Jinlian.

"I've already spoken with your boss, and he agreed. I won't take up too much of your time," Li Niangpao said, raising an eyebrow but maintaining his elegant demeanor. At least, he considered himself very elegant.

Wang Chuan knew that the boss Li Niangpao was referring to was Sixth Brother (Sister Hong wasn't at the bar today and would be coming later). He glanced back at Sixth Brother, who was not far away, and Sixth Brother nodded, indicating that he had thirty minutes.

"Okay, I have thirty minutes. What would you like to talk about?" Wang Chuan sat down opposite Li Niangpao.

Li Niangpao took a small sip of coffee and gently placed the cup on the small table in front of him: "I know you and Pan Yuanyuan don't like me. Actually, I don't like you either. We're not from the same circle to begin with."

Years ago, my grandfather and Pan Yuanyuan's grandfather were drinking together. They got quite drunk and arranged a marriage between us when we were children. I initially thought it was a joke, but Pan Yuanyuan's mother, seeing that my husband's business was growing bigger and bigger and that two of his companies had gone public, brought up the old engagement.

My father-in-law values ​​my older brother, and as for me... whether I can do things or have a future is completely unimportant. He'd love for me to get married and have children soon to settle down, so he's forcing me to meet Pan Yuanyuan.

To be honest, I have someone I like, but I know that because we're not from similar social classes, my family won't easily agree to our marriage, so I haven't told them yet.

"So, what you mean by looking for me is..." Wang Chuan had no idea what this rich second-generation effeminate man wanted from him.

"I need time. I'm currently negotiating with my family, and there should be a result by the end of this year at the latest. To be honest, because my family is well-off, many people want to curry favor with my father and climb up the social ladder through my family."

If I call my father today and tell him that I don't like Yuanyuan and that the blind date is over, my family will arrange a new blind date for me before midnight tonight.

Whether it's an exchange of benefits or a family marriage, I have to go. The other family's influence is definitely much stronger than Pan Yuanyuan's. Rather than that, I might as well maintain the status quo. At least Pan Yuanyuan has some ambition, which is much better than those big-breasted, brainless girls I met before." When Li Niangpao said this, he shed his previous effeminate manner and became much more normal.

"Mr. Li, you've said so much, but I still don't understand what you're trying to say. Just tell me, what do you want me to do?" Wang Chuan asked, puzzled.

"My senior brother is indeed straightforward!"

As I just said, I need time to deal with my family. I need you to pass on a message to Pan Yuanyuan: as long as she cooperates with me and maintains a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship in front of outsiders until the end of the year, that's fine.

I won't bother her during this time, but she will need to accompany me to some events when necessary. I promise that this won't happen too often, at most three times.

"Our collaboration will end at the end of the year, well... let's just say we were working together for now. She can announce to the public that we're not a good match. I'll also tell my family that Pan Yuanyuan doesn't like me," the effeminate man said in a very manly way.

"Well, I can pass on what you said to Pan Yuanyuan, but why don't you tell her yourself?" Wang Chuan asked.

"Hey buddy, she's avoiding me like the plague now. She goes to your law firm to see her, but I can't talk about it in front of outsiders."

Of all her colleagues and friends, you're the only one I know. I realized it during our last meal together; she was actually trying to use you as a shield to deal with me.

"I think you're a nice guy, so I'd like to ask you for help! Of course, I won't let you work for free!" The effeminate man said, taking a bulging envelope from the leather bag next to him, placing it on the table, and pushing it towards Wang Chuan.

Wang Chuan smiled slightly and pushed the envelope back onto the table: "I can help with this, but I can't guarantee whether Pan Yuanyuan will agree. Forget about the money!"

"That's kind of you! Consider it a favor I owe you." Li Niangpao laughed upon seeing this.

"No need! If there's nothing else, I won't keep you company!" Wang Chuan said, looking at Li Niangpao.

"You go ahead with your work, I have nothing else to do. By the way, you sing quite well," Li Niangpao said with a smile.

Wang Chuan stood up to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned back: "Mr. Li!"

"What?" The effeminate man was taken aback.

"If we have the chance to meet again, could you please not be so..." Wang Chuan could tell that Li Mubai's effeminate manner was completely an act.

"Then what's wrong with you?!" Li Niangpao immediately understood Wang Chuan's meaning, then smiled wryly, "Brother, I didn't want to either. But it's part of my plan, I had no choice! Please forgive me!"

Wang Chuan instantly understood and immediately apologized, "Sorry! I understand!"

Talent!

"I understand, thank you for your understanding!" The effeminate man finished speaking and gave Wang Chuan a flirtatious wink.

Wang Chuan immediately got goosebumps and quickly turned around and walked forward.

On Friday morning, Director Niu arrived early, a rare occurrence, and called all the lawyers and interns from the firm into his office for a meeting.

"Everyone's been quite busy lately, and the number of cases in the firm has also increased. Starting next week, intern lawyers will be working in pairs at the legal services office."

Zheng Shuang, you'll be paired with Hao Renyuan, working shifts every Monday and Tuesday; Pan Yuanyuan, you'll be paired with Wang Chuan, working shifts every Wednesday and Thursday, returning to the institute for a meeting on Friday. If you can't make it due to unforeseen circumstances, Wei Ping will replace you. Wei Ping is mainly responsible for the institute's consulting units.

"Also, it's getting hotter every day, so everyone should take precautions against heatstroke. Don't set the air conditioning in our office too low; we have to follow the national call to keep the temperature above 26 degrees Celsius... The administration has purchased some tea for everyone, and the union has given out a lot of mung beans and rock sugar. You can pick them up after the meeting." Comrade Lao Niu said, looking at his notebook while wearing his reading glasses.
