After He Zhizhou walked into the office, Li Jiawei looked at him in astonishment. The He Zhizhou standing in front of her was completely different from the image in her memory.

In the past, He Zhizhou had a clean and elegant temperament. However, looking at him now, his face is full of stubble, showing his dejected and decadent appearance.

Li Jiawei stood up from her office chair and looked at him in disbelief. For a moment, she didn't know how to break the silence between them.

He Zhizhou looked at Li Jiawei, smiled gently, and spoke first: "Boss Li, I haven't seen you for so long. Why are you staring at me like that? Don't you recognize me?"

Li Jiawei took a deep breath, smiled, walked a few steps towards He Zhizhou, stretched out her hand and said, "Lawyer He, long time no see!"

He Zhizhou reached out and held Li Jiawei's hand, responding: "Long time no see!"

After asking He Zhizhou to sit down, Li Jiawei poured him a cup of tea and said, "Please have some tea."

He Zhizhou took the teacup and said, "Thank you."

Li Jiawei sat down opposite He Zhizhou. Looking at He Zhizhou, who seemed like a different person, she didn't know where to start.

After a while, she finally asked, "Lawyer He, what is the matter with you coming to see me now?"

He Zhizhou drank the tea in the cup, placed the cup on the coffee table, and said, "Mr. Li, I came here to ask you to give me a job."

Hearing what He Zhizhou said, Li Jiawei frowned slightly, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Lawyer He, you are really a joker. A great lawyer like you, why do you need me to provide you with a job?

I guess there are so many law firms that want to invite you to join them."

He Zhizhou smiled bitterly and sighed, "Boss Li, you are teasing me.

You must have heard about my current situation. The law firm closed down, and everything I had accumulated over the past decade was lost. With my current reputation, which law firm would hire me?

But I still have to make a living, so I can only shamelessly beg you for help."

Li Jiawei had indeed heard about some of the things that He Zhizhou had experienced some time ago. After all, it was not a secret, and his story had caused a sensation in the legal profession for a while.

After Li Xuanbao was sentenced, although He Zhizhou was not interested in work, he was quite famous in the legal profession, so many people went to his law firm, hoping that he could represent their cases.

Everything went smoothly at first, but everything changed when he took over a cross-border commercial patent infringement case.

During the litigation process of this case, He Zhizhou lost the case due to his own negligence.

This commercial patent infringement case originally had clear facts and complete evidence, and it should have been an easy case to win, but it was lost due to He Zhizhou's carelessness. In the end, the plaintiff not only failed to win the case, but had to pay the defendant more than 100 million US dollars in compensation.

Such a subversive result made He Zhizhou an unprecedented "existence" in the legal profession.

As He Zhizhou lost the case due to his mistakes, the plaintiff company demanded compensation from him.

Although He Zhizhou used up all his savings to compensate the plaintiff company for its losses, it was still far from enough.

If his mother Jiang Qin hadn't helped him repay part of the debt, he would probably still be heavily in debt.

Thinking of what He Zhizhou had experienced, Li Jiawei couldn't help but sigh. Although she sympathized with He Zhizhou's current situation, she still held on to her previous consistent ideas. She was unwilling to have too much connection with Li Xuanbao and Li Yan.

He Zhizhou is both Li Xuanbao's husband and Li Yan's childhood friend. Their relationship makes it impossible for Li Jiawei to hire him as a legal advisor to the company at the moment.

Li Jiawei looked conflicted and said to He Zhizhou, "Lawyer He, I really want to help you, but..."

Li Jiawei didn't finish her words, but He Zhizhou already understood Li Jiawei's attitude. He smiled helplessly and said, "It seems that I was too abrupt."

After saying that, He Zhizhou stood up and prepared to leave. But when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, calmly took out a file bag from his briefcase, returned to where he had just sat, put the file bag on the coffee table, looked at Li Jiawei and said, "I got the things inside by chance, take a look. If you want to know more after reading it, feel free to contact me."

After saying this, this time He Zhizhou turned around and left without any hesitation.

Li Jiawei watched He Zhizhou's back as he left, and her eyes immediately fell on the file bag on the coffee table.

Although she had not checked the contents yet, she recalled the strange light that flashed in He Zhizhou's eyes when he left. Li Jiawei intuitively felt that the things in this file bag must not be good things for her.

However, after thinking for a moment, Li Jiawei leaned over and picked up the file bag from the coffee table. The file bag was almost weightless in her hand.

She opened the file bag with doubt in her eyes and took out a USB flash drive.

Li Jiawei returned to her desk, inserted the USB drive into her computer, and exported the contents.

Looking at the content displayed on the screen, Li Jiawei's breathing became more and more rapid, and then she suddenly turned off the computer and pulled out the USB drive.

Li Jiawei tried to calm her violently beating heart, and then took out her cell phone without hesitation to call He Zhizhou. After the call was connected, Li Jiawei said in a cold tone: "Come back, let's talk again."

When He Zhizhou heard what Li Jiawei said on the phone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay, I'll go back right away."

Not long after, He Zhizhou stepped into Li Jiawei's office again.

Seeing Li Jiawei's tense expression, he smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so nervous, I really don't mean any harm.

If I really wanted to do something, you wouldn’t have seen this document in advance, it would have appeared where it should have appeared.”

Li Jiawei sneered when she heard He Zhizhou say this, and asked, "I want to ask, who gave you this document?"

He Zhizhou did not respond to Li Jiawei's question, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you shouldn't ask me this question.

If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have used this document as a bargaining chip in our negotiations."

Li Jiawei didn't believe He Zhizhou's words at all and questioned, "You just want a job? If that's all, go find my father, he should be able to give you more help."

He Zhizhou smiled and said nonchalantly, "I just want a job. If I take this USB drive to my uncle, I'm afraid he will be scared to death. By then, I won't be able to explain myself."
