Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Qingsheng patiently asked, "Uncle Wu, what do you mean? Did Li Yi offend you in some way?"

"Hey, you're right. Li Yi, you can go if you want, but you shouldn't betray me and actually plan to work for my sworn enemy. Isn't this embarrassing for me?

"Tell me, isn't it equally unethical and shameless for my sworn enemy to lure him away from me by offering him a high salary?" Mr. Wu said indignantly.

Huh? There's even this? Qingsheng didn't know what to say. After all, in the eyes of these aristocratic families, it was despicable for the servants of the mansion to betray their original owner.

Ranmo shared the same sentiment. This was somewhat similar to a high-paying poaching case he'd encountered before. It was somewhat unfair to the original employer, leading to numerous disputes and even lawsuits. Given the current legal landscape and prevailing perceptions, if such a case were brought to the government, it's hard to say how it would be handled. Especially considering the situation involves a powerful family like Master Wu.

Therefore, such cases are best resolved through mediation. The reason she still sympathized with Li Yi was because she remembered a resignation dispute she had encountered in her previous life.

At the time, she was working in the legal department of the head office and occasionally heard about a similar incident at a branch factory. A young couple wanted to leave the factory to pursue better opportunities. However, the transfer process was complicated and difficult, especially since one of the supervisors refused to sign for them.

They were at their wit's end, so after asking for advice, they began showering the leader with gifts, hoping he would let them go. However, for some unknown reason, the leader refused to listen and even threatened, "Let them give as much as they want, but if you want me to let them go, there's no way!"

Those words struck the listener as inhumane, even suggestive of revenge. But at the time, I had no idea how to challenge him legally. Ranmo later left the company, and it's unclear whether the unfortunate couple ever resolved the matter. It's truly difficult to deal with someone like that.

Retracting her thoughts and looking at Mr. Wu in front of her, she suddenly felt a sense of disgust. These aristocratic masters relied on their power and status to look down on the common people and workers. What a damn old age! Just like Li Yi's case, even if it was wrong for him to switch jobs, you should collect the liquidated damages. Why must you force him to stay in prison to be happy?

Thinking about the liquidated damages, she decided to bite the bullet and talk to Mr. Wu again to see if there were any alternative solutions. Of course, he had definitely never heard of the concept of liquidated damages, so she decided to just settle it based on the actual losses.

She exhaled and said, "Master Wu, there are always multiple ways to solve every problem. As the saying goes, don't try to save too many people. Well, let's not talk about it. Can you roughly calculate a reasonable amount and see if Li Yi can afford it? If so, both sides will be happy."

"Both of you are fine? He wishes! Well, you want a reasonable amount, right? I am a generous man and I won't ask for too much. Just take two thousand taels of silver. This may not be enough to make up for my loss. Besides, I am giving you face because you came to mediate." Master Wu said with confidence.

The two men almost wanted to hit each other after hearing this. This Master Wu not only made his perverse arguments sound fresh and unconventional, but the key point was that he told Li Yi that it was one thousand taels, but when it came to Ran Mo and the others, it turned into two thousand taels, and he even said that he was giving face. I have never seen such a shameless and ruthless person.

Of course, whether it was two thousand taels, one thousand taels, or even five hundred taels, Li Yi probably wouldn't be able to come up with it. So there was no need to argue with him too much, as long as he agreed to negotiate the matter later.

Qing Sheng asked calmly, "Uncle Wu, I'd like to ask you something. You're supposedly very high up in society. No one in Xiaoyue City dares to confront you. Even in Dayue City, every official knows you're a meritorious official and treats you with the utmost respect. Even my father has a very good relationship with you. So who would dare to become the sworn enemy you claim to be?"

Ran Mo was also quite interested in this question. To resolve the issue between Li Yi and Master Wu, it was necessary to understand this third party.

Master Wu glanced at Qingsheng, wondering how a man as upright as Qingsheng could have been bewitched by this Ranmo? Not only had his son been bewitched, but he was also trying to win over another person to oppose him in the future.

He looked at the two of them coldly and said, "You're right. Calling him my mortal enemy is already flattering him. What qualifications does he have to be compared with me? But, Qingsheng, you don't know much about official affairs. Some people may not have as much power and status as you, but they are good at making trouble. You have to be a little cautious with him.

It's like when things are peaceful and quiet, and then someone is eager to see others get into trouble, then take the opportunity to intervene and profit from it. I'm not saying anything about anyone. But Qingsheng, you have to be careful and don't let anyone lead you astray. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain myself to your father."

The old man's words seemed to be full of heart, and if he could squeeze out a few tears, it would be even more convincing. The two of them were furious. This was simply an insult to Ran Mo and the profession of lawyers.

What should they do now? Should they let Ranmo belittle him again and then quit, or should they continue to fight him to the bitter end? The two men fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the two were silent, Master Wu thought he had convinced them. He then said in a fake tone, "Actually, I really value talent. Qingsheng is a natural. He has made great progress in martial arts and is a very well-behaved person.

As for Ranmo, although he can be a bit rude, he's definitely a good person. If you're willing to persuade Li Yi to repent, I'll treat you with even greater courtesy."

The two were at a loss for words at Master Wu's words. The talk of Qingsheng being well-behaved and Ranmo being a good kid was simply nauseating. He even went the other way, asking Ranmo to persuade Li Yi to give up his plans. What a brilliant plan! This old man was truly cunning.

Ran Mo calmed down. Regardless, since Master Wu had accepted her offer to mediate the matter, it was a start. So, let's take this opportunity to move forward. We could work with both sides in the future to see if we could get them to reach an agreement.

We've already achieved some results today, so let's not let anything go wrong. So she smiled generously and said, "Mr. Wu is very generous. It's a deal. I'll go talk to Li Yi, and I'll let you know whether it succeeds or not."

I also implore you to take the time to discuss this matter with us. That's all we need to discuss today. Goodbye." She was afraid that Mr. Wu might inexplicably close the door to negotiations again, so she finished her words in one breath and then took her leave.

Master Wu looked at her, wanting to say something but unable to, so he waved his hand, letting them go. The two of them bowed to him and turned to leave the hall.
