Chapter 71: We Are Only Discussing Career Planning, What Are You Trying to Do?
Xu Xiang had originally intended to ask further, but Li Xuezhen seemed to realize something and forced herself to speak calmly:
"I simply looked through every key point and made key markings."
"This is my habit, Senior Brother Xu, do you not have this habit?"
Xu Xiang smiled and shook his head: "I truly do not have that habit, study well, I will go attend to my work first."
"All right, Lawyer Xu."
As soon as Li Xuezhen saw Su Bai walk out of the office, she immediately changed the form of address.
Su Bai: "?"
Privately she called him Senior Brother Xu, but openly she called him Lawyer Xu?
'Tsk tsk.'
Could that relationship not be acknowledged openly?
Were they performing Infernal Affairs inside the law firm?
'Cough cough.'
Su Bai coughed lightly twice, continued pretending not to know the relationship between the two, and called Li Xuezhen into the office.
"Lawyer Li, come to my office in a moment."
"All right, Lawyer Su."
The moment she heard Su Bai call for her, a beam of light seemed to flash from Li Xuezhen's eyes.
Today she was wearing a fitted purple top with a small suit jacket on the outside, and she ran in quick little steps to the office.
Inside the office.
Su Bai took a sip of tea and gestured for Li Xuezhen to sit down.
After Li Xuezhen sat down with delight on her small face, she said: "Lawyer Su, you were looking for me?"
Su Bai: …
What else would it be?
"Lawyer Su, what were you looking for me about, was it about the case I told you yesterday that we were taking on?"
"As for that case yesterday, I already, I already spoke with my friend about it, I do not know why the other party has not come yet, perhaps they are occupied with something."
Li Xuezhen kept her eyes fixed on Su Bai, observing the expression on his face.
Su Bai smiled and said: "It is not about that matter, I called you in to ask you about some other things."
'Some other things?'
Li Xuezhen's eyes lit up, delight appeared on her small face, she immediately became energized, and straightened her posture slightly: "Lawyer Su, please ask."
Su Bai: "?"
'What exactly was this supposed to mean, I merely intended to ask some questions about career planning.'
'Why was there a trace of anticipation in your expression, and why were you sitting so upright?'
'Cough.'
"You need not be so formal, I am only casually asking about matters related to your work."
"Oh."
Li Xuezhen's small face fell, and disappointment could not be restrained from showing on her expression.
'Cough cough.'
Su Bai coughed lightly twice, pretended not to notice, and said:
"Lawyer Li, how long have you been at Baijun law Firm? It should be six months already, should it not?"
Li Xuezhen thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded: "It has been nearly six months."
By now, Li Xuezhen had already been involved in four cases at Baijun law Firm.
Although the duration of each case had not been long, on average, the litigation period for each case, together with the interval between them, was approximately one and a half months.
For an intern to become a regular lawyer, procedurally at least one year was required.
At present, Li Xuezhen had already spent six months at Baijun law Firm as an intern lawyer.
That meant she would need to wait at least another six months of internship before becoming a regular lawyer.
Li Xuezhen looked at Su Bai in confusion: "Lawyer Su, why are you suddenly asking me this?"
Su Bai smiled and said: "The reason for asking is naturally to gain a further understanding of the duration of your internship."
"Once you meet the requirements for regular appointment, after becoming a regular lawyer, I will immediately promote you to the second in command of our law firm."
"How about that?"
"Thank you, Lawyer Su!"
Li Xuezhen's small face was filled with excitement, and she completely failed to notice that Su Bai's promise was both grand and perfectly rounded.
Second in command.
At present the entire law firm had only three people.
But in reality, Su Bai was not truly making an empty promise.
Li Xuezhen was the law firm's first intern lawyer, and her background was also extraordinary.
After becoming a regular lawyer, making her the second in command of the law firm would be entirely beneficial for the firm.
Had it not already been demonstrated that when the law firm lacked a major case, Li Xuezhen ran to her teacher and found an extraordinary case for them?
This was the power of network resources.
'Tsk.'
It was only that, for the moment, Li Xuezhen was still an intern lawyer and could not independently handle cases.
This time, in calling Li Xuezhen into the office, apart from discussing these matters, part of the purpose was also to bring them closer.
He wanted to speak a little about Li Xuezhen's teacher, Feng Lijian.
After all, as a prominent figure in the Nandu legal community, that personal connection was a top level network resource.
It was only that when Li Xuezhen mentioned her school life, she was as vigilant as a kitten.
Su Bai therefore had no choice but to give up for the time being.
After Li Xuezhen left the office, the tension on her small face immediately relaxed, and she let out a long breath.
It was only.
The client in the case introduced by Feng Lijian still had not come to the law firm after an entire day had passed.
This caused Li Xuezhen to feel rather dispirited throughout the day.
However, she also knew that clients in legal cases did not necessarily come at any fixed time, so although she was anxious inwardly, she did not pay too much attention to it.
The next day, they still did not come.
On the third day, they still had not come.
On the fourth day, Little Li became irritable.
On the fifth day, Little Li's small face collapsed, she lay on the desk, and even the light seemed to have disappeared from her eyes.
"Why have they still not come? The case introduced by Teacher should not have any problem."
Although her teacher had not introduced the case directly, the cases introduced by her teacher's old friends ought to have been highly reliable.
Li Xuezhen lay across the desk with her whole body, and for several consecutive days the client in the major case had still not come to the law firm for consultation and entrustment.
This caused Li Xuezhen to feel deeply frustrated.
A strong sense of defeat arose in her heart.
At that moment, outside the law firm, two young men wearing plaid shirts walked in, appearing to be no more than twenty seven or twenty eight years old, yet both carried an indescribable air about them.
It felt somewhat like the air of hardship and weariness.
After the two entered, they began looking around at the environment inside the law firm.
"Hello, may I ask whether this is Baijun law Firm?"
One of the young men spoke to ask.
When Li Xuezhen saw that someone had arrived, her eyes immediately lit up, she instantly became energetic, and hurriedly stood up:
"Hello, this is Baijun law Firm."
"May I ask whether you have come for legal consultation, or to entrust a lawyer with litigation?"
That young man adjusted his black framed glasses, and his overall demeanor appeared somewhat restrained.
"We were introduced by another law firm, that other law firm said our case is rather difficult, and that Baijun law Firm could satisfy our litigation claims."
"So we planned to come and have a look, and consult first."
It seemed that these were the clients in the case introduced by Teacher.
Li Xuezhen nodded seriously.
"All right."
"Please come in first."
"All right."
The two young men nodded at the same time, and at the same time noticed the honorary banner hanging in the consultation area of Baijun law Firm.
This banner was written in rather impressive terms.
Upon seeing the banner, both of them simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
