Chapter 170: Chapter 128: Loving Everything About You
“Old Gao, are you saying that your law firm has already represented this Zhou Wang guy in two acquisition contracts?”
Wang Hongying couldn’t believe it, her daughter was one thing, but even her husband was entangled with this Zhou Wang guy.
“What kind of acquisition contracts?”
This question was asked by Jiang Qingkui.
Gao Zhenbang gave a curious glance at Jiang Qingkui, who had come over at some point. Her eyes were intense, as if she was more interested than his own wife…
“Old Gao, can you talk about it?”
Wang Hongying knew some of the rules of law firms and asked since she saw Gao Zhenbang hesitating, though she couldn’t suppress her curiosity.
Even if Gao Zhenbang didn’t speak now, she would undoubtedly extract some information from Lawyer Gao in the dead of night.
“Some content involves confidentiality clauses, which indeed cannot be disclosed, but there are some things that can be mentioned briefly.”
Gao Zhenbang thought for a moment, “Strictly speaking, this Mr. Zhou Wang is not a client of our Yunan Province law firm, but an important client directly served by the headquarters in Beidou.”
Gao Zhenbang particularly emphasized the words “important client.”
Besides the clueless Tang Mao and Gao Zhenbang’s pair of children, Wang Hongying and Jiang Qingkui were both surprised again.
The reason was simple; Gao Zhenbang’s words subtly disclosed two facts to them.
First, Zhou Wang had established a long-term cooperative relationship with “Yunshangyun” law firm, not just as an agent for those couple of contracts.
Second, Zhou Wang was a very important major client, the kind of client who would sign service contracts directly with the headquarters, because this meant that all the chain law firms across the country had to serve him whenever needed.
Signing such a contract involved considerable agency fees. Both Jiang Qingkui, who wasn’t in the industry yet, and even Wang Hongying, found it hard to imagine.
In fact, Gao Zhenbang didn’t know the full extent of the agency contract either, as the authority was with the headquarters. But one could glimpse the whole picture from bits and pieces, so at this moment, he couldn’t help but sigh lightly,
“Mr. Zhou probably knows about our relationship, yet he didn’t show it, nor did he exert any influence over me through the law firm… reciprocated kindness, not to mention he paved the way for your daughter, those two boxes of tea worth over three hundred thousand are secondary.”
Wang Hongying paused briefly, then, under everyone’s surprised gaze, suddenly picked up that blank check and tore it into two pieces.
“Mom, what are you…”
Gao Xiaoyin was startled, that was an unlimited amount of money!
Even if one couldn’t fill in an absurdly high amount, a seven-figure number was definitely something the other party could accept.
Only Gao Zhenbang understood his wife’s intention, he smiled and asked, “Hongying, have you decided?”
“I’ll take Jiang Yunfei’s case, but I definitely won’t charge for the attorney fees anymore. If it weren’t inappropriate, even this tea should be returned.”
Wang Hongying nodded, her message was clear, nothing mattered more than the future of her daughter.
“Mom, you’re the best…”
At this moment, Gao Xiaoyin also realized and couldn’t help but affectionately embrace Wang Hongying.
Since Wang Hongying was willing to take this case, she could accept that contract without psychological burden.
“Since you’ve decided to become an online influencer, you must make a name for yourself. Remember, you can chase your dreams, but there are some boundaries you must never cross. Although our family isn’t exceptionally wealthy, we can certainly make sure you never worry about food or clothing.”
Wang Hongying sternly educated her daughter.
“Don’t worry, Mom, given how strong the public opinion is now, no one can force me to do anything if I don’t want to. There are so many sisters online who won’t just sit by…”
Gao Xiaoyin winked playfully.
“You!”
Wang Hongying tapped Gao Xiaoyin’s forehead, then turned to look at Gao Zhenbang, “Old Gao, you may need to help me with this too. I’ve looked briefly at that case, there are some angles that can be delved into, but I need to prepare well.”
“Okay.”
Gao Zhenbang nodded solemnly.
Given Wang Hongying’s status and reputation, choosing to act and failing to successfully secure a sentence reduction would indeed be quite embarrassing.
“Mom, can I go see that Zhou Wang brother alone later?”
At this time, Gao Xiaohu’s eyes shifted, and he asked.
“Why do you want to see him?” Wang Hongying frowned.
“He has a Ferrari. I want to hang out with him…”
“You are not allowed to go!” Before Wang Hongying could say anything, Gao Zhenbang already reproached him, “What does someone having a Ferrari have to do with you? Besides, do you know how busy such high-status people are every day? They don’t have time to play around with you.”
Gao Xiaohu pouted and said no more.
“Uncle Gao, do you know where this Zhou Wang is from?”
Jiang Qingkui asked again.
“If I remember correctly, he is also from Jing City, the same hometown as you.”
Gao Zhenbang mentioned casually.
Jing City…
Jiang Qingkui paused, then walked to the table, her eyes swept over that business card, and she silently memorized the phone number.
“Teacher Wang, Uncle Gao, then we will take our leave.”
“It’s so late, stay for dinner, it’s a good time since Old Gao is back, let him chat with you too.”
Wang Hongying invited.
“No, Teacher Wang, I understand your kind intentions, but I still want to give it a try… Uncle Gao, I apologize in advance, but I don’t plan to pursue the law firm path, even if things don’t work out in the end, I would probably choose to teach at Hong Kong University.”
