Chapter 8: Transactions

Bruce let out a scoff and reached out to touch Gu Zheng's shoulder

Kate was slightly taken aback by the retort, but she nodded with a smile and said, "Alright then"

Josie smiled as she turned around and sat down on the sofa next to Kate: "You seem to be upset that he just bumped into you? Talented individuals often have a bit of arrogance; given his qualifications and the problems he has solved for the organization, we indeed owe him a debt of gratitude!"

It is absolutely impossible to accept this condition, our client holds full ownership of the other party's property, you... F-uck, you actually hung up on me!

Bruce was taken aback: "I will take you over to handle the case of Bell Pharmaceuticals!"

Previously, she was holding a large stack of documents, and Gu Zheng did not really notice her at that moment

Alright, I will contact her myself in a little while. You can go ahead and take care of your matters.

As for this partner, Gu Zheng expressed his sincere gratitude but felt inadequate, and he had no intention of continuing to tease the young boy Bruce, so he made an excuse and slipped away

Then I really need to take a good look at what the so-called golden lawyer is capable of. Josie slightly straightened her posture, her face revealing a look of curiosity

Gu Zheng nodded at the two individuals and walked out of the office alone

I have a very interesting case in my hands, which I took on after coming to Los Angeles. I hope to handle this case well first

Ten minutes later, Gu Zheng walked out of the logistics department's warehouse and saw Bruce looking surprised, asking, "Why are you still here?"

However, if he does not express anything, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Josie and Kate

As Gu Zheng looked at the man, the man also looked at Gu Zheng, his expression slightly changing, and then he walked over to Gu Zheng

The suit is quite nice

Josie and Kate exchanged a glance, and then Kate spoke up: "No problem, after all, we are all here to serve the client, that client ..."

However, it is evident that his current situation is a level lower than what Josie had previously promised

Gu Zheng said coldly that he had no interest in staying any longer in this den of dragons and tigers. He planned to visit Mo Er shortly to begin preparing for Mo Er's lawsuit, as the system task could not be delayed.

Kate pondered for a moment and said, "There is a lot of drive, but I wonder if it might be a bit too aggressive. You know we have placed a significant bet on him"

At that moment, the young woman standing next to Bruce at www.hetushu.com suddenly curiously asked.

At the moment of self-doubt, Gu Zheng arrived at the logistics department

Gazing at Gu Zheng's departing figure, Qiao Xi suddenly asked, "What do you think of him?"

Gu Zheng walked along, encountering those who were exasperated from being hung up on the phone, those who calmly scheduled appointments, and those who were dealing with a mountain of paperwork. The level of work pressure here was evidently much higher than that of the small law firm where Gu Zheng had worked in his previous life

If he is not mistaken, this group of people should be first and second year lawyers in the talent reserve, is the working environment this terrible

Call!

Thus, as Gu was in a state of urgent contemplation, he immediately invoked the system's tasks as a bargaining chip, making his handling appear more reasonable, while conveniently avoiding excessive absenteeism that would be difficult to explain

What career planning, what was agreed upon before, he does not understand at all

His actions have also made things easier for us. I was previously contemplating how to arrange some outstanding cases for him to help him quickly advance to partner. Now he has already prepared one himself, and all we need to do is promote it at the partner meeting.

Gu Zheng directly interrupted him by calling https://www.hetushu.com and then walked towards the logistics department to begin collecting some essential items

However, as for partners, have you ever seen a client without any partners

... ...

As they spoke, Bruce was also sizing up Gu Zheng, his gaze somewhat sharp, which made Gu Zheng sense a hint of hostility

Josie set off, leading Gu Zheng out the door: "So you should head to the logistics department first. By the way, we have specifically assigned you a partner who can assist you in handling your case, whether it is pro bono or not, Gardner & Co. will support your case!"

Gu Zheng arrived on the fifteenth floor and discovered that the entire fifteenth floor was a super large office as he walked down the stairs

Gu Zheng paused for a moment, sizing up the man from head to toe, and thought to himself: "Could this be my 'partner'? I clearly remember that Kate referred to 'her', so this guy shouldn't be it, right?"

With a slight smile, Kate shook her head, her face revealing a contemplative expression: "I am not that petty; what I mean is that he would take on such a pro bono case before officially starting his job."

The office here is different from the typical cubicle-style large offices; it contains rows of desks, each occupied by individuals working there. It is somewhat similar to a study room in a library, except that there is no concern for maintaining silence.

Please wait, I will collect my belongings first

Dada!

Facing the two individuals who were attentively listening, Gu Zheng slowly articulated his demands

What happened? You must be Gu, right? Shall we go to the court together

Is it Nice Gu?

Gu Zheng interjected, "This is a pro bono case; I actually do not care about the commission fee. What matters to me is that this case is very interesting"

Upon seeing Bruce's handsome face contorted in a frown, Gu Zheng couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, what a reckless youth!

Gu Zheng gently moved aside, evading Bruce's arm, and sarcastically remarked: "Unfortunately, it is not yours"

Josie raised her eyebrows

Gu Zheng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled

After being poked by Gu Zheng, Bruce's expression changed, and he then said somewhat rudely: "Quickly get ready, you should not have been assigned to a case yet, so let's start preparing for the Bell Pharmaceutical Company regarding ... ... "

Oh, by the way, Gu Zheng seemed to have just remembered something. Although I was not assigned to a case, I originally had a case of my own. You go ahead and get busy; I need to visit my client and the bookkeeper.

He squeezed the yellow envelope in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his face; he had finally passed the first hurdle

Beth rolled her eyes, tossed the documents onto Bruce, and shook her head as she followed Gu Zheng's pace: "Only one person is needed to submit the documents. I will help him integrate into our firm first. See you tonight at the Red Sun Bar!"

Bruce walked up to Gu Zheng and, without waiting for Gu Zheng to respond, extended his hand for a self-introduction: "Bruce Edward, second-year lawyer. Beth is preparing some documents and will deliver them promptly at 9:30. I will be the one to receive you."

... ...

As soon as he entered, he saw a young man standing in the lobby of the logistics department, one hand in his pants pocket and the other holding a bag, waiting for someone with a look of utter boredom.

Gu Zheng is not dissatisfied with the fact that he has concealed the difficulties of the entire firm; he would only risk his life to strive for the status of partner.

What does it mean

... ... is the Bougainvillea Restaurant at three o'clock in the afternoon

I have my own matters to attend to, you may carry on with your tasks first

"He is demonstrating." A glimmer of amusement passed through Kate's eyes, "Interesting signifies the unusual; he wants to show us what kind of lawyers come out of Pearson!"
