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

The two of them went to the lawyer's stall as usual. Sure enough, Li Yi arrived shortly thereafter. Qingsheng didn't beat around the bush and asked him to explain the circumstances surrounding his resignation.

Li Yi looked at them, seemingly confused. Qingsheng said they had already contacted Mr. Wu, who wanted Li Yi to come back, and even if he left to work for another company, he shouldn't go to the one he was currently working for.

Li Yi understood. Mr. Wu must have exaggerated the story. He did not dare to criticize Mr. Wu too much even behind his back, so he asked the two:

He had toiled for the Wu family for most of his life and didn't want to be tied to the family in disguise. What did the grudges between the wealthy families have to do with a commoner like him? Why should they transfer it to him?

Qingsheng thought that what he said made some sense, but things between big families were hard to explain. Since you have worked for the Wu family for many years, and then went to another family that was at odds with it, it means you don't take your old boss seriously.

Ranmo then thought of the principle of non-compete in modern employment practices. Senior technical personnel from their former employer are required to abide by the agreement and not work for competing companies within a certain period of time after leaving their former employer.

Although there are no such sophisticated legal systems in this era, the spirit contained therein is still applicable to a certain extent.

For example, when moving between two residences, one must consider and take into account the relevant interests and interpersonal relationships, otherwise it will cause some trouble.

There was no way to explain the legal implications to Li Yi at this point, so we could discuss other workarounds. Just as he was about to ask, Qing Sheng asked, "Which mansion are you planning to visit? Why would you cause such strong opposition from Master Wu?"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to speak or not. Thinking that Young Master Qingsheng was still quite righteous and that the two of them were helping him, he whispered, "It's the Zhao Marquis family from earlier."

Qingsheng understood immediately. He recognized this Marquis Zhao, who had once served in the imperial court and later retired to his hometown and returned to Xiaoyue City.

In this city, only his family and the Wu family could be considered truly aristocratic. While it's true that the Wu family's rank was once slightly higher than the Zhao family's, after years of competition, the two families were now evenly matched.

From the outside, there was no apparent conflict between the two families. However, even officials in the imperial court were often at odds with each other, and once they left the court, they no longer had to hide their differences.

Presumably, some long-standing conflicts and rifts would be exposed. As a junior, Qingsheng was unaware of the specific circumstances.

The three of them fell into silence for a moment. After a moment, Ran Mo asked Li Yi if there was any room for maneuver in this matter.

For example, whether he could continue to stay in the Wu Mansion and strive for a better treatment, or whether he could move to another mansion that was not too different from the Wu Mansion.

Li Yi hesitated, wanting to say something but didn't. Qingsheng became more cautious and said to Li Yi in a serious tone, "Since you have entrusted us to do something for you, you must tell us the relevant matters truthfully.

Otherwise, we will be in a passive position. We don’t even know the situation of our own people, so how can we talk to the other party on your behalf?

Ranmo looked at Qingsheng approvingly. What he said made a lot of sense, and he really had the level of a lawyer discussing a case. Li Yi was also stunned when he heard this, and then said frankly:

"Thanks to both of you for your help, I'll tell you everything. I went to the Zhao residence because I have a long-time lover there. We thought we could work together in the same residence and help each other out.

Moreover, Master Zhao knew about our relationship and was very impressed with my skills. He promised that if I went to his house, he would raise our salaries and status to the level of stewards. This would be very beneficial to improving our future lives.

So we were all tempted. Although I also feel a little sorry for Mr. Wu's many years of taking me in, if I don't take advantage of my age and health now, I may not have another chance in the future."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded slightly. They hadn't expected this controversial resignation to be shrouded in such a romantic relationship. They were indeed lovers.

From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Li Yi's request. The strange thing is that the two mansions he visited were at odds with each other, and the flow of helpers in the mansion was also affected.

Qingsheng asked him, "How about you two come to work at the Wu Mansion? We'll talk to Master Wu about increasing your wages."

Li Yi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thank you, Master Chu. She's been working there for a long time, so she might not be able to adapt here. I'll prioritize her convenience."

Qingsheng and Ranmo looked at each other and praised in their hearts, what a kind and considerate man he is.

I originally wanted to go to the Zhao Mansion to talk to Mr. Zhao and see if there was any convenience. If Li Yi and the others had such intentions, and the Zhao Mansion did not stop them, I really didn't know what to say when I saw them.
