Chapter 150: A Beautiful Gold-Digger Who Wants to Cling to the Rich and Powerful (1)
Leica did what she said and only took the medal during the award ceremony, and gave the prize directly to Jingyu.
On Monday when Jingyu was riding the Kawasaki and stopped at the door of the law firm, he happened to meet Liang Heyu who had just parked his car and opened the door.
He was still wearing a neat gray suit, with a dull expression on his face. His eyes first subconsciously fell on her fingernails, and then noticed the motorcycle under her.
"Isn't this car Yu Zhongyang's?"
Jingyu took off his helmet, letting his hair fall on his cheeks. He said casually, "Well, it belongs to me now." Then he walked into the law firm with his bag on his back.
Liang Heyu followed behind her and straightened the fortune cat that Xiao Zhao had placed on the front desk, which was a little tilted.
After changing into a professional suit, Jingyu looked completely different from her previous image. She skillfully served the brewed coffee.
Liang Heyu picked up the coffee and took a sip, but saw Jingyu still standing in front of the desk. He raised his head and their eyes met.
"…What else?"
He suddenly remembered what Jingxian had said to him.
Jingyu's current target is... him?
Although Jingxian spoke very obscurely, he understood what Jingxian meant.
And what Yu Zhongyang said when he came to see him before was also very interesting. It seemed that they all thought that Jingyu came here to seduce him.
Liang Heyu leaned back in his chair with a stern expression.
Jingyu said, "I want to ask you for a day off on Friday."
"Go to Lian Island?" Liang Heyu didn't expect that Jingyu would go through the formal leave application process and ask him for leave approval.
Jingyu nodded: "Yeah, it would be a waste if you don't go."
Liang Heyu understood: "No."
Jingyu: ...
"why?"
Liang Heyu picked up the coffee and said, "I don't want to criticize."
Jingyu raised an eyebrow. "You're a lawyer too, so you should be familiar with labor law, right?"
Liang Heyu smiled and said, "I'm your boss now. Why should I approve your request for leave to travel?"
Jingyu asked, "Then how can you approve the leave?"
When you come to work, you should act like you are at work. Interns don't have annual leave, so as a boss, you certainly won't approve her leave to go out and play.
Liang Heyu put down his coffee cup, and with the intention of making things difficult for her, he handed her a book: "I'll give you a chance. This is a new book I bought. Go put it on my bookshelf. If you put it in the right place, I will agree to grant you leave."
Jingyu took the book and looked at it. It was a book about logic.
She took it and left. Liang Heyu didn't take it to heart and flew to the neighboring province on a business trip with Qi Qin that day.
After Xiao Zhao learned about this, he promised to help her contact Liang Heyu's former assistant and ask him if he knew anything about it.
It turned out that what Qi Qin said was right. Liang Heyu took care of all his bookshelves by himself, and even his assistant who had worked there for several years didn't know about it.
...
After Liang Heyu returned on Wednesday, he took Jingyu to court. This was a commercial dispute case Liang Heyu had been handling. Although many court hearings are now conducted online, this case, due to the large amount of money involved, had already been appealed to the High People's Court.
Because Jingyu was not a trainee lawyer, Liang Heyu gave Jingyu an opportunity to sit in on the trial and observe the court proceedings.
The court trial itself was quite different from what was shown on TV. The whole process was quite dull. Especially for commercial disputes, there were a lot of technical terms involved, which were a bit confusing to understand without a basic understanding of the subject matter.
However, Jingyu focused more on Liang Heyu.
He is worthy of being called the gold medal lawyer of City A. No matter how aggressive the opposing lawyer is, his emotions are always stable, and he speaks clearly and eloquently, with excellent professional qualities.
Jingyu roughly understood the whole process, which was actually a dispute between the two companies.
Liang Heyu represented a large, publicly listed company, while the appellant was a small business. Logically, Liang Heyu's party was at a disadvantage, both legally and morally, but they ultimately reached a settlement, paying the other party only a small sum in compensation.
However, Lawyer Liang's agency fees are extremely high. It is said that two of the lawyers hired by the appellant ran away after learning that the other party's lawyer is Lawyer Liang. The one hired now is still a newcomer. He is fearless and wants to become famous in one battle.
After the court session ended, Liang Heyu put the verdict and other materials into a brown paper bag, and Jingyu took a bottle of water and handed it to Liang Heyu.
It was the brand he often drank. Liang Heyu glanced at Jingyu, took it and took a sip.
The head of the client's legal team came over and said to Liang Heyu, "Lawyer Liang, would you mind having dinner with me later? Mr. Chen will be there too, and he wants to thank you profusely."
Liang Heyu picked up his suit jacket and briefcase and said, "Okay, send me the address." Then he turned to Jingyu and said, "Come with me."
Jingyu said, "How much is the overtime pay?"
Liang Heyu smiled faintly: "You should be happy to have the opportunity to learn about lawyers' after-hours social activities for free."
The dinner was scheduled at a Japanese private restaurant. Outside the door of the private room was a Japanese-style garden landscape, and there was someone playing the Japanese koto in the dry landscape in the center of the courtyard.
Mr. Chen, as the legal team leader had mentioned, was already waiting in the box. Seeing Liang Heyu, he stood up to greet him with a smile on his face: "Welcome, welcome. Please take a seat."
"Who is this?" Mr. Chen's eyes fell on Jingyu. She was still wearing a professional suit and at first glance she looked like a lawyer, but her face was too beautiful.
Mr. Chen secretly complained in his heart, it turned out that Liang Heyu's aversion to women was only to ordinary women. His ordinary appearance could not compare to the beauty in front of him.
Liang Heyu knew there was a misunderstanding as soon as he saw him. He introduced him coldly, "This is Jing Yu, the youngest daughter of Tianheng Jewelry CEO Jing. She is currently an intern at my law firm."
Misunderstanding, Mr. Chen quickly reached out and shook Jingyu's hand: "So you are Mr. Jing's daughter. Your father and I had dinner together twice a few years ago."
Jingyu smiled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
After taking their seats, Mr. Chen poured Liang Heyu a cup of tea and placed it in front of him. “Is Mr. Liang very busy lately? I’ve tried to schedule an appointment with his secretary several times but couldn’t.”
Mr. Liang is referring to Liang Yingqin.
Liang Heyu took a sip of tea and replied calmly, "I don't know his schedule either."
...
Liang Heyu was not used to sashimi, a Japanese dish, but he did not show it. He stopped eating after a few chopsticks.
Jingyu is not picky about food and puts down his chopsticks after he is full.
This restaurant was opened by Mr. Chen himself, and it has good privacy. He originally thought that he would have a private dinner with Liang Heyu, but he didn't expect that he would bring an outsider with him. This made Mr. Chen unable to say what he wanted to say.
It was getting late, so Liang Heyu got up and said goodbye.
"After the contract is concluded, I will keep a copy of all the documents, and the originals will be mailed to your Ministry of Justice. If you have any subsequent questions, you can always come to Jincheng to find me. It's getting late, so let's stay here for now."
"Okay, Lawyer Liang, take care. We'll work together again if we have the chance."
Walking out of the restaurant, Liang Heyu frowned and pinched his eyebrows.
"Lawyer Liang, are you drunk?" Jingyu leaned forward to take a look.
Liang Heyu opened his eyes and saw the other person's clear pupils. He subconsciously tilted his head back and took a step back.
Mr. Chen had just been toasting enthusiastically, and Liang Heyu hadn't expected that Japanese sake didn't taste strong but had a strong aftertaste.
Jingyu crossed her arms and said, "Lawyer Liang, let's go. I'll drive you home." She reached directly into Liang Heyu's coat pocket, took out the car keys, and walked towards the parking lot while swinging the keys.
I didn't expect Jingyu to have such a cunning side.
Liang Heyu had no choice but to follow her.
When he sat in the passenger seat and watched her fasten her seat belt, Liang Heyu tilted his head and asked, "You can drive, right?"
Jingyu was speechless. She turned to look at him with a half-smile: "Driving without a license."
Liang Heyu: "Committing a crime against the wind?"
Jingyu asked, "Lawyer Liang, which is more serious, driving without a license or driving under the influence?"
"I can find a driver."
"Why spend money on a designated driver when you have an assistant?"
Liang Heyu smiled. The dim lights in the parking lot made his face appear as a yin-yang split of light and shadow, making his already three-dimensional facial features look even more sculptural.
Jingyu said, "Don't worry, your life insurance won't come in handy tonight."
"...very sharp-tongued."
"No match for Liang Lu's eloquence."
