Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 113, Section 111: The Law Student's Daily Plog
"Relieve your worries, relieve your worries," just like the name of the coffee shop.

The joyful moments on the first day of business seemed to truly make people forget their troubles and worries.

However, it is difficult for Li Zhi, a minor shareholder, to be on duty every day.

After being assigned to Leying Law Firm, she developed a new biological rhythm.

I get up at eight o'clock, wash up in fifteen minutes, and stand in front of the mirror to choose clothes.

I drove out at 8:30 and arrived at the law firm 15 minutes early.

At 9:00 AM sharp, under the guidance of supervising lawyer Zhuo Luxia, I began my internship for the day.

Of course, the task she was in charge of wasn't particularly complicated.

Most of the work involves administrative tasks such as organizing files, writing complaints, sending materials, drafting legal opinions, and making phone calls to the court.

Even such routine work brought Zhuo Luxia a little surprise.

"You've organized this file quite professionally."

Watching Li Zhi skillfully fill out the catalog, print the cover, punch holes, thread the thread, and seal it, her movements were smooth and effortless, and Zhuo Luxia couldn't help but marvel.

"Clean and efficient, that's a really good move. Even the most experienced assistants in our institute might not be able to match your skill."

As a lawyer who frequently visits the courts, Zhuo Luxia is very familiar with the personnel composition of the courts.

The staff member in the court who actually handles the case files and is responsible for binding and organizing them is called a court clerk.

For interns to reach this level of proficiency in a short period of time, they not only need to be willing to learn and put in the effort, but also need the patience and skill of their mentor clerk.

After all, not everyone is willing to teach this relatively "boring" job, nor is everyone willing to spend time learning it.

She flipped through the logically structured case file catalog and her opinion of Li Zhi rose even higher.

"Your clerk mentor must be very meticulous."

"Uh"

The short-haired girl paused for a moment, then pursed her cherry lips slightly: "Yes, Sister Xia."

She didn't explain that the clerk wasn't actually a long-time clerk, but an intern with the same status as her. After thinking for a moment, she added softly.

"He is very meticulous and dedicated."

"Then you should thank them properly. These days, everyone in the court knows that interns don't stay for more than a few days. Everyone keeps their distance and is very polite. Who would be willing to put in so much effort to teach you?"

Zhuo Luxia smiled and seamlessly transitioned into today's lesson.

"Judging from your level, I don't need to worry about the whole paper."

"But I still have to tell you that it's not enough to just finish organizing the entire file; you have to learn how to analyze it."

"To carefully analyze case files, one must be able to do the following three things: be familiar with the litigation process, understand the case-handling approach, and be able to write a case closure report."

Law firms and courts are completely different.

Here, completing the entire roll is actually a technical skill.

Those who are interested can use the entire case file to figure out the case-handling process, defense strategy, and how to find relevant evidence. Even if they cannot apply what they have learned to other cases, they can at least apply what they have learned to other cases.

After giving her assistant some pointers, Zhuo Luxia returned to her workstation in her high heels, and soon brought over a stack of files, and began to speak.

"Take a look at these first, and learn about the difference between contract fraud and contract disputes. The client will be coming over for a consultation tomorrow."

"And here's the second-instance response to the divorce case that I just sent you. Please compare it with the court transcript that I just copied over today and refine it."

"Now that you're already proficient at handling the whole thing, you can do it whenever you want. Just make sure to prioritize and deal with the important things first."

With the cattle and horses passing the inspection, Zhuo Luxia immediately switched to the persona of a legal elite, still with a smiling expression, vigorously assigning tasks and making empty promises.

"Litchi, since you've chosen our law firm, let me share my work experience with you."

"Learning in a down-to-earth manner is the first priority. Secondly, you should think about the shortcomings in your work every day, write them down, and then review them. This is how you can grow quickly."

"Okay, Sister Xia~"

The short-haired girl took the file, took a deep breath, ran to the water dispenser to brew a pot of chrysanthemum tea, carefully spread out the A4 paper, and read it page by page.

A brand new role, a brand new challenge.

"Little Lychee!"

"Hey~"

"Go to the meeting room and help out. The guest wants to talk to Director Han, but she's still on her way!"

"Coming!"

The short-haired girl stomped her high heels, the brisk sound echoing in the law firm lobby.

Providing excellent reception services to visiting clients and other customers is also one of the duties and responsibilities of a legal assistant.

Not only do they have to arrange things for clients according to instructions, including arranging meeting rooms, tea and water, and providing promotional materials, but they also occasionally have to do some preliminary legal services.

These trivial matters don't necessarily have to be handled by Li Zhi.

But she was really beautiful.

Just by standing quietly in place, his short-haired elite style and aloof aura can create the feeling that "this law firm has something special."

"Exchange business cards, contact addresses, and inquire about record-keeping requirements."

Li Zhi quickened her pace, silently reciting the key points of a legal assistant's job when receiving clients, gently pushed open the door to the meeting room, and forced a smile.

"Hello~"

In the conference room sat an equally elegant young woman.

"Excuse me, Director Han will be there shortly."

"Okay, okay, no rush."

The other person was wearing a well-tailored orange-yellow shirt, simple in style yet full of design sense.

Further down, there's a fitted bodycon skirt that just covers the top of flesh-colored stockings.

What kind of tea would you like?

"Either is fine, thank you."

The two sized each other up for a few seconds, then exchanged polite glances.

While impressed, the other party probably realized that Li Zhi was just a lowly assistant, so they naturally skipped the awkward small talk.

It wasn't until Han Qiulan arrived late and pushed open the conference room door that the other party stood up with a smile.

"Hello Director Han, I am He Min from Mingli Legal Consulting Company."

"Today I'd like to share our project with you and see if there's any potential for collaboration."

"."

Just as Li Zhi was about to turn around and close the door, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and look back at the door.

Eh?
Mingli Legal Consulting Company
Isn't this Zhou Mingyuan's company?

Just then, Han Qiulan made a gesture to her, and Li Zhi, whose curiosity was piqued, immediately understood and sat down in the corner to take meeting notes.

"."

"Yes, that's right, Director Han."

"I think the future has already arrived."

The girl named He Min seemed to exude confidence in every gesture she made.

Her voice was clear and crisp, and her pace was neither too fast nor too slow, giving people a feeling of gentle narration yet full of power.

Han Qiulan listened attentively, occasionally interjecting with questions, showing great patience.

In fact, as a member of the decision-making team at Leying Law Firm, Han Qiulan also worries about finding cases.

Leying Law Firm is not a large firm in Jiangcheng, and it is quite far from the top-ranked law firms.

The reason she has remained in power for so many years is that most of the cases come from her social status as a member of the Law Society and a professor in five colleges and four departments.

So when He Min described a brand-new way of cooperating, she immediately imagined some of its feasibility.

"Director Han, I am a lawyer myself, and many of my lawyer friends know about our project. Everyone thinks that this direction has great development prospects and they will talk about our model with their colleagues everywhere."

He Min spoke with a smile, her face calm and her heart not racing.

"Several lawyers who have heard about our project have contacted me through friends, including team leaders and law firm directors."

“The lawyers who came to talk to us have a very interesting characteristic: they themselves are not short of business, and several of their teams generate more than ten million yuan in revenue annually.”

"This also proves that what we are doing is cutting-edge and has room for development."

Han Qiulan rested her chin on her hand and nodded gently: "It does sound feasible."

“Of course, since we’re going to talk, I’ll definitely introduce our model without reservation.” He Min sat up straight and began to explain the core of their business with a smile.

"For example, let me explain to you the logic behind our advertising placement."

"For example, with CRM systems, we would choose..."

"How will the lead data collected from the landing page be used to inform the advertising campaign?"

"The purpose of building a new media matrix later is..."

"Sales management is definitely effective!"

"Combining long-term and short-term performance can better unleash initiative."

Han Qiulan listened with great interest at first, but the more she listened, the more her brows furrowed.

"President He, President He!"

She waved her hand and couldn't help but joke, "You're quite sincere."

"They don't hide anything at all."

"Of course, even if a deal falls through, we should still be on good terms. We need to show our attitude first."

He Min nodded generously.

"Alright, but the more details you go into, the more I feel that the law firm can't do it on its own. Let's get down to business and see how we can collaborate."

Han Qiulan cleared her throat and gestured to Li Zhi, who was twirling a pen in the corner, to bring her a fresh pot of tea.

"Director Han, as for myself, I'm a lawyer who started with the most traditional practice, but through various coincidences, I ended up on a different, unconventional path."

He Min took the teacup with a bright smile: "Look."

"The cooperation model is as follows."

On this day, the most important thing for Li Zhi after get off work was moving.

Unfortunately, she couldn't handle moving on her own.

So, twenty minutes after get off work, several strong men appeared downstairs at the law school dormitory.

Why did you call so many people?

Upon seeing Zhou Mingyuan and his friends, Li Zhi greeted them and immediately pulled him aside.

"Many hands make light work, so we can make it in one go."

Zhou Mingyuan remained noncommittal: "Otherwise what? It's too inefficient for me to carry it back and forth several times by myself."

"."

Li Zhi bit her lip and remained silent.

After thinking about it, Zhou Mingyuan does indeed have this style.

Efficiency first, results-driven, and no effort spared.

Inviting other boys wouldn't be a problem.

However, the gossipy looks people gave her, along with the whispers and murmurs, made her feel uneasy.

"Let's go, brothers, upstairs, let's move things!"

At Zhou Mingyuan's command, Li Zhi greeted the dormitory supervisor, and her followers filed in and entered the law school dormitory.

In fact, Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics is not far from Shanshui Huating.

Besides Li Xiaobo and Lu Ze, two members of Jieyou Media, his followers also include his roommates Xiong Yao and Yu Feiyang.

The group split up, carried out Li Zhi's packed luggage, and quickly arrived at the Shanshui Huating residential area.

“Building A2, turn right.”

Before Li Zhi could speak, Zhou Mingyuan gave the first order.

Do you know where I live?

The man, dragging a small suitcase, walked side by side with the short-haired girl in the first row.

"Aren't you staying at Vivi's house?"

"Yes, do you know where Vivi lives?"

Li Zhi turned her head, her starry eyes full of curiosity, and couldn't help but repeat the question again.

"Yes, she posted a screenshot of the package in the group chat, which included the address."

Zhou Mingyuan's mind raced, and he immediately gave a flawless answer.

"Oh."

With a calm expression, Li Zhi took out a key from the bag on her shoulder and forcefully inserted it into the lock.

Click.

Is being attentive a strength or a weakness?
She couldn't tell the difference either.

Finally, several strong laborers, carrying large and small bags of luggage, successfully moved into the fully furnished three-bedroom apartment.

"Thank you everyone, you've all worked hard."

"You can leave your luggage in the living room; there's no need to bring it inside. Thank you."

"I'll pack it up myself later."

"Here, have some drinks~"

The refrigerator was full of all kinds of drinks.

Li Zhi took out a few bottles and handed them to the panting boys.

"Not so polite."

“Our boss Zhou never asks for favors, but this time he’s made an exception for you, sister-in-law.”

Li Xiaobo sat on the edge of the sofa, took a big gulp of his drink, and then chuckled as he continued the conversation.

He was the former publicity minister of the student union, and he has always had an outgoing personality, able to talk to anyone in a way that suits them.

Furthermore, being immersed in Jieyou Media, one is inevitably influenced by the boss's personal charm.

These past few days, Li Xiaobo has received a new assignment.

— Review resumes sent to the company email address.

Beautiful women, all I see every day are beautiful women.

Due to various factors, compared to his roommates Zhou Mingyuan, who were practically strangers, he was somewhat less alluring to pretty girls.

He can even sense the atmosphere and act as a wingman without any instruction!

Although Li Zhi thanked her and offered her water, she was very polite.

But she naturally possesses an aura that keeps people at arm's length, and even if ordinary people want to find a topic to talk about, they don't know what to say.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. What sister-in-law? Don't try to matchmake people."

Zhou Mingyuan usually doesn't explain unless he really can't help but laugh.

He found it particularly fascinating to watch as Li Zhi's pretty face flushed red, and she hesitated to speak. To ease the awkwardness, she raised her glass to drink water, but her other hand had nowhere to go, so she could only tidy up the stray hairs by her ear.

She, who always appeared composed in front of others, actually had a day when she was so embarrassed that she couldn't control herself.

"No, that's not it."

The short-haired girl nodded, her eyes flickering, resolutely refusing to look in Zhou Mingyuan's direction.

"How about I treat everyone to dinner later?"

To prevent his friend from saying anything strange, she quickly changed the subject.

The roommates on the sofa exchanged glances, and just as they were about to speak, Li Xiaobo, who was sitting next to them, spoke up decisively.

"Um, I have something to do tonight, so I won't be going."

As he spoke, he subtly nudged Lu Ze beside him with his elbow, the movement barely perceptible.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I also have something to do."

The technical expert Lu Ze seemed to be a beat slow to react.

"Not my sister-in-law!"

The short-haired girl blushed and managed to squeeze out a sound.
