Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 106, Section 104: Deng Yuan's Unsolicited Request (4k)

A warm evening breeze blew through the rooftop garden.

The hotpot was still bubbling, and the young people surrounded an even younger man, listening to him talk about his bright future.

Although everyone simply sat facing each other, without the clear hierarchy and fawning presence that often occurs during meetings.

Du Jianuo, however, still rested her chin on her hand, staring blankly at Zhou Mingyuan as he spoke eloquently, her ears filled with unfamiliar words she couldn't understand, a slight smile playing on her lips as she drifted into absurd reverie.

He looks so handsome right now.
It's absolutely mesmerizing.

I really want to pounce on him!

Oh no, I have class tomorrow, and I promised to go back to my dorm tonight.

"We are willing to help our clients achieve their goals whenever possible, because after paying, clients generally have a clear idea of ​​their expectations for our prices and services."

Zhou Mingyuan continued speaking.

"We will also tell our clients what risks the case may involve. If the client insists on proceeding, we will proceed normally and keep a record of our progress."

"Mr. Zhou, may I ask a question?"

The salesman among the four employees was named Wei Yifan, a shy and quiet young man.

"If a customer signed up by the sales team later requests a refund, will it affect the sales performance?"

"Don't worry, it won't have any impact."

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head.

"As I just mentioned, the company does not require sales staff to assess the feasibility of a case, so whether or not a refund is issued is unrelated to sales staff."

"Management judges sales performance based on two dimensions: the amount of money sold and the overall conversion rate."

Wei Yifan's eyes lit up: "Thank you, President Zhou, I understand."

Front-end operations, back-end technology, legal products, and related sales.

The big boss didn't actually manage to be 100% on the same level.

At least ever since Zhou Mingyuan sat down at the table and added the hot pot, the four employees present have all entered a different state to some extent.

From complete relaxation and slacking off, to each person reflecting on their assigned tasks and constantly raising questions of interest.

Even He Min took advantage of the atmosphere to keep asking questions.

"President Zhou~"

"I'd also like to know, if we were to discuss cooperation with a law firm again, how should we proceed regarding the compliance issues you just mentioned?"

The young assistant blinked her big eyes, her face full of curiosity.

"This is divided into two parts: one is the compliance of engaging in this business, and the other is the prevention of legal risks in the specific service process."

Zhou Mingyuan cleared his throat, and the senior student next to him immediately unscrewed a bottle of electrolyte water and obediently handed it over.

"First of all, since there is no illegal operation, there is no compliance issue."

"After finding a law firm to cooperate with, we will try to arrange for the staff who are currently responsible for refining the product to work at the law firm. This will help with development on the one hand, and reduce unnecessary disputes on the other hand."

He Min and Xiao Hui listened attentively.

"Secondly, regarding occupational risks, continuous training is necessary."

"Once it's running smoothly, you can organize it. It won't need to be too frequent; one or two training sessions a week will suffice. The content will include corporate culture, professional knowledge, case practice, occupational risks, and so on."

"After talking for so long, we will definitely be very standardized."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and encouraged his subordinates: "First, customers have expectations; second, we should refund them when necessary."

"The overall complaint rate will inevitably be low."

"You've all bought clothes online, right?"

"As mentioned before, we need to consider this issue in the same way as the internet. All online products have a refund rate, which is normally at least 10%, but ours is probably less than 1% or even less than 0.1%."

"Mr. Zhou is right!"

Shi Fangfang nodded vigorously: "As an industry observer, I chose to join Mingli because I felt that there was nothing wrong with our model."

"To be frank, setting aside preconceived notions and the arrogance of high-end law firms, what is the difference between a lawyer and a legal consulting firm?"

Speaking of this issue, Zhou Mingyuan empathized deeply and turned to look at He Min.

"The operating entities are different, that's all."

Before his assistant could answer, he began to speak on his own.

In fact, as a partner in a top-tier law firm in his previous life, and having also independently started his own law firm, he had seen countless people secretly collaborating with legal consulting companies.

In his previous life, after achieving a certain scale in his live streaming room on Douyin, he was even invited by Douyin's business security department as an expert to help assess the compliance of merchants' business operations through the platform's legal consulting company.

So, despite being a formally trained lawyer, Zhou is quite familiar with legal consulting firms.

He had followed the service process and delivery process in detail, even spending an afternoon looking at the company's WeChat group chat.

As the platform that values ​​compliance the most, Douyin ultimately concluded that not all consulting firms are unreliable, nor are law firms necessarily reliable.

It's like saying that public hospitals are always good and private hospitals are always scams.

Such labels are actually not convincing.

"Cooperation is cooperation; we won't bow down to them!"

Halfway through his sentence, Zhou Mingyuan reached out and patted He Min on the shoulder, his expression serious.

"Let's talk it over. It's okay if we can't reach an agreement."

"At worst, we can acquire the law firm."

"Uh-huh!"

He Min straightened up and nodded.

"Don't overthink it, the real competition hasn't even started yet."

Zhou Mingyuan seemed to see He Min's dilemma and said with a smile.

"At least what we are doing now is business that most lawyers are unwilling to compete for, so there is a vast untapped market for cooperation."

"When Didi launched in May this year, many taxi drivers in our city staged a major strike to boycott Didi. And what has happened now?"

"The best way to select clients is through their choices; people will vote with their feet. The most important thing is to provide the best service."

In the future, some law firms will form deep partnerships with legal consulting agencies, or these agencies themselves will further transform into another form of law firm.

It's actually difficult to simply say whether it's good or bad.

To some extent, this will make the entire industry more standardized and professional in terms of traffic business.

"Remember this, public legal services are such an important service, someone has to do it."

Zhou Mingyuan raised his voice: "This is also something that the official level hopes to fill in."

The legal profession has two sides: a commercial aspect and a social aspect.

You need to make money, but you can't only think about making money.

If an organization can do both of these things well, it can both make money and fill social needs that public services cannot cover.

Therefore, there is no reason for the authorities to intervene excessively.

For at least the next ten years, the land will be flat and unobstructed.

"In fact, from a holistic perspective, companies and law firms are merely means, not the end result."

"Methods can always be changed; results are what matter most."

"Our goal is to make legal services affordable for ordinary people through market-based mechanisms, so that they can access the fairness and justice they seek, and also to enable more lawyers to earn money and gain the professional honor they deserve."

As Zhou Mingyuan spoke more and more profoundly, He Min's doubts, which had been hidden in her heart, gradually came to light.

So that's how you talk to someone!

So that's how you can chat!

The future is here.

She suddenly felt full of confidence in the industry she was in.

When the moonlight evenly spread around the small garden, it was time for the rooftop chat to come to an end.

The employees left with high hopes, and He Min drove the van to take Du Jianuo and Zhou Mingyuan back to their school dormitory.

"Wow! You finally came back!"

After the premiere, Du Jianuo disappeared for the entire weekend before finally returning to her dorm room 301.

The moment Ji Linlin pushed open the door, she was engrossed in watching a variety show when her attention was immediately drawn to the girl in front of the door and the large bags and small packages in her hands.

"Oh my God!"

The next instant, just like Shi Fangfang who had just exclaimed, Ji Linlin's voice rose eight octaves and her eyes widened to two bulges.

"Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, wow, can I touch all of this?"

Is this still my roommate?
Du Jianuo, you're really getting into it!
The bags in her hands contained things she could only dream of but could never have.

Despite having watched the premiere and witnessed Du Jianuo's unbelievably extravagant gift-giving, no amount of online news could compare to my roommate's new outfit and her high-end luxury brand-name clothes.

"My goodness, how much did you earn?!"

Ji Linlin rushed over, her eyes gleaming with longing, and carefully touched the girl's neck.

"What's going on? The live stream just started to get going, and he immediately went on an impulsive shopping spree?"

"Little Cheng my foot! How could I afford these?"

Du Jianuo's face was flushed, as if she hadn't recovered from her excitement.

"Who sent that? Was it from Deng Yuan?"

Ji Linlin squinted: "Something's not right."

"This necklace must cost tens of thousands of yuan, right?"

"Less than 50,000."

"hiss"

Ji Linlin gasped, becoming even more cautious as she gently touched the pillow-shaped pendant on her roommate's neck, her eyes shining.

"Where's the bracelet?"

She then turned Du Jianuo's delicate wrist over and pressed for more information.

"A bracelet would be similar."

"It's beautiful! After all, you get what you pay for. It's gorgeous!"

Ji Linlin wished she could conjure up a magnifying glass, squatted down, and kept clicking her tongue.

"If that's the case, then it probably wasn't sent by Deng Yuan."

"He doesn't have that ability."

"Could it be that your boss intervened?"

Du Jianuo blushed and bit her lip to admit, "Yes."

"Well, I've finally seen a real tycoon."

Ji Linlin swallowed hard, sizing up her beautiful roommates with their strikingly different styles, and sighed.

"Nono, you have such good taste! I was wondering why you didn't sign Deng Yuan, but it turns out there are other experts out there!"

"Aren't there tons of people wanting to join Jieyou Media right now?"

"nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Du Jianuo pursed her cherry lips into a thin line: "Do you know how many private messages and texts I've received these past two days?"

Do you remember me mentioning a colleague to you?

"Uh"

Ji Linlin's mind raced: "Milk Peach Junior?"

"It's a cow!"

Du Jianuo immediately corrected her: "She also sent her resume to the company email address."

"Well, this is normal, isn't it?"

Ji Linlin rubbed her eyes, hesitating to speak.

"what's wrong?"

The two had been spending every day together since their freshman year, and Du Jianuo easily read the second half of the other person's sentence.

"Nono, what's your company email address?"

"Actually, I'd like to give it a try too."

"."

Du Jianuo rolled her eyes: "Fine, fine, I'll copy it and send it to you on WeChat."

By the end of the weekend, her mindset had undergone a significant shift.

The initial fear, disorientation, shock, and anxiety have transformed into acceptance.

She began to accept everything.

Accept the turning of one's fate, accept that Jieyou Media is on the right track, and accept the boss's superhuman ability to turn lead into gold.

Perhaps the most important thing is to stand on the right side, help him make his business bigger and stronger, and fully cooperate.

Are you jealous and angry?

Are they blocking interviews, scrambling resumes, and preventing job offers?

Those are all unorthodox methods and trivial skills.

The world is vast, and outstanding girls are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Only by correctly positioning oneself, identifying a common direction, and broadening one's perspective can the top employee's niche be firmly secured.

Perception determines destiny.

Du Jianuo had just taken out her phone and swiped the screen a few times when the phone rang at an inopportune moment.

"Hey?"

"Okay, wait a moment."

It's quite a coincidence.

Du Jianuo had been chatting with her roommate the whole time and hadn't had a chance to change out of her full outfit.

She casually slipped on a pair of slippers, her calves looking refined and elegant from top to bottom, while her legs appeared nonchalant, and she continued down this mixed-style journey.

"Nono!"

Deng Yuan looked expectantly at the stairwell, and his eyes lit up when he saw the girl skipping down the stairs.

"Why are you calling me?"

Du Jianuo yawned and looked at Deng Yuan.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person.

On the day of the premiere, Deng Yuan, for some unknown reason, spent a total of 10,000 yuan in her live broadcast room.

They managed to squeeze into the top of the contribution list.

"Congratulations, Nuonuo, on your successful premiere! All of us at Jiayuan Media watched it and are especially happy for you."

Deng Yuan stared at Du Jianuo, who was both unfamiliar and familiar, his eyes filled with fervor.

"Aren't you going to try to persuade me to go to your place this time?"

The girl brushed aside the curls by her ear, smiled with pursed lips, and resembled a night-blooming orchid in its first bloom.

"A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Since Jieyou Media is more capable, we should learn more from them and strive to achieve something similar one day."

Deng Yuan's tone was extremely humble: "No, no, so I have a favor to ask."

"Could you give us a lesson?"

“We also have a few girls who want to start live streaming. Could you go and share your live streaming experience with them?”

"what?"

Du Jianuo hesitated for a moment before not immediately agreeing.

"I need to ask the boss for his opinion first."

"It's alright, it's alright. We absolutely won't pry into any trade secrets. We'll just talk about the precautions and experiences for live streaming, and we won't listen for nothing!"

Deng Yuan produced a small square box from somewhere and pushed it over with a smile.

"Nono, this bracelet is for you, consider it a consultation fee."

"So polite?"

Du Jianuo glanced at the exquisite Armani box, sighed inwardly, then looked up at Deng Yuan, who was looking at her expectantly.

"Okay, I can go as long as the boss agrees."

"Let's forget about the fees."

The girl slightly raised her fair wrist, a delicate gold chain encircling it, mother-of-pearl outlining the shape of a butterfly, poised to take flight.

"Look, here, here, and here."

With the other hand outstretched, it touched its wrist, chest, and heart.

The sparkly accessory fell into Deng Yuan's eyes and swayed in the night sky.

There are no seats left.
