The next day, Chu Tang found the atmosphere strange as soon as he arrived at the law firm.

Whispers could always be heard wherever she passed.

Chu Tang walked to the workstation and sat down.

Lawyer Zhang Tianxin, who works in the same office with her, has not yet recovered and been discharged from the hospital, so she is the only one in the office now.

Not long after she sat down, Yang Xiaojing came.

She stood at the door, knocked twice, and said to Chu Tang, "Come to my office."

Chu Tang probably knew what she was going to ask, which was nothing more than what happened last night.

In the office, Yang Xiaojing sat in her office chair, her eyes sharp and her expression furious. "I asked you to discuss a case with Kong Weijie last night. I heard that you had a conflict with two clients and beat them up?"

Chu Tang explained, "I went to discuss a case, but those two CEOs were only thinking about vile things. They assaulted me and I was acting in self-defense!"

Yang Xiaojing's face was very ugly, and her tone was a little stern. "Ruan Chutang, I know you are good at fighting. You saved us last time when there was a riot, but you have to know that violence can't solve any problems!"

Chu Tang's expression was extremely cold. "I was polite at first, but they didn't seem to understand me. Manager Yang, I'm a lawyer, not a technician. I don't want low-quality clients like them."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaojing flew into a rage. She slammed her fist on the table and angrily shouted, "What a boast! Do you know how much damage your impulsive behavior last night caused our law firm? A five-year legal consulting contract costs 150,000 yuan! And those contract disputes and trademark infringement cases cost at least 500,000 yuan in legal fees! You just wanted to vent your anger and beat someone up without a word. Are you going to make up for this 650,000 yuan loss?"

Chu Tang curled his lips and said coldly, "Okay, I'll fill this hole for you today. Don't let me go to clients like this who are full of lust in their heads in the future."

Yang Xiaojing didn't believe Ruan Chutang was so capable. She said firmly, "Before I leave work today, I want to see the contract you signed and the payment slip from the other party. If not, you don't need to come tomorrow. According to the law firm's personnel regulations and labor laws, you have caused significant losses to the law firm. The law firm has the right to fire you without any compensation!"

Chu Tang's brows were cold, "I know."

Chu Tang walked out of Yang Xiaojing's office and passed by Kong Weijie's office.

Kong Weijie just walked to the door and met Ruan Chutang.

Kong Weijie said sarcastically, "Hey, Lawyer Ruan, you offended your client last night and lost such a big case. How dare you come to work? If it were me, I would be too embarrassed to see anyone."

Chu Tang glanced at him coldly, ignored him, brushed past him and returned to his office.

After a while, Chu Tang received a message from Yu Jiaojiao.

Ruan Lu, Chen Lu, and Kong Lu all posted about you on WeChat Moments. Did you see it?

Then she sent two screenshots of Chen Yangyang and Kong Weijie’s circle of friends.

Chen Yangyang: [Some women are truly shameless. Young and able-bodied, they don't work hard, but instead rely on their looks to find a wealthy sponsor. It's a disgrace to the legal profession that such people are still lawyers.]

Kong Weijie: [This person is truly disgusting. If you don't need money, don't go out to work. Stay with your old man who drives a Cullinan. You came out to work and experience life, but as soon as you arrived, you offended clients and lost a big deal. You've also dragged me down with you. You're being kept by an old man, yet you still act noble in front of clients. You're really hypocritical.]

Chu Tang saw the screenshot and clicked on Chen Yangyang’s Moments, only to find that he had been blocked.

Similarly, Kong Weijie also blocked her.

Chutang saved these two screenshots.

She replied to the message and asked Yu Jiaojiao.

[These two updates didn't mention anyone by name, how do you know they were talking about me?]

Yu Jiaojiao: [Ruan Lu, I heard they're all privately saying you're being kept. I heard it was Chen Lu and Kong Lu who started it first.]

[They even created a group specifically to share your thoughts. You're not in that group, so I'll send you a screenshot.]

After a while, Yu Jiaojiao sent more than 30 screenshots. Chu Tang read them one by one, and was furious.

She originally thought that treating everyone to a meal at a high-end restaurant would improve relationships among colleagues, but she didn't expect that this group of people were polite to her on the surface, smiling and greeting her when they met, but spoke so badly about her behind her back.

Chen Yangyang and Kong Weijie took the lead in spreading rumors and throwing mud at her, and other colleagues followed suit without any evidence, believing whatever others said.

Chu Tang realized that she had thought the workplace was too simple.

It seems that her idea of ​​relying on a meal to enhance feelings and maintain relationships with colleagues is too naive.

This is truly a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

At this moment, she finally understood that here, only strength and background mattered. No one cared about your character or how you treated others.

Sometimes being too kind and easy to get along with makes you more likely to be bullied.

Chu Tang looked at the screenshots on the computer screen and gritted his teeth.

Ruan Chutang: [Jiaojiao, thank you for telling me this. Can you do me a favor?]

Yu Jiaojiao quickly replied: "Of course, Lawyer Ruan, you saved my life. If you need any help, please let me know."

Ruan Chutang: [Next time they discuss me, please record it for me.]

Yu Jiaojiao: [Okay.]

Chu Tang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and called Ruan Shaodong.

"Hey, Dad, does our company need a legal advisor?"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Tang got up and went to the printing room to print a few contracts, and then went straight to his own company.

When she arrived at the company, she went straight to the chairman's office.

Ruan Shaodong had just finished a meeting and knew she was coming, so he was sitting in the office waiting for her.

Chu Tang threw the contract on the table and said, "Dad, take a look at the contract and sign it if you have no problem."

Ruan Shaodong flipped through the contract page by page.

"I asked my assistant, and the company's legal advisory contract with the previous law firm expires at the end of the year. I can sign a five-year contract with your firm, but the contract must start at the beginning of next year."

Chu Tang nodded, "No problem, but the payment must be made immediately after signing the contract this afternoon."

Ruan Shaodong raised his eyes to look at her, "So urgent?"

"Yeah, I went to discuss a case last night and was harassed by two old perverts. The case didn't go through, and my supervisor gave me an ultimatum."

When Ruan Shaodong heard that she was being harassed, his tone immediately became anxious, "Who dares to harass you?"

Chu Tang shrugged, "Don't worry, they didn't get any advantage and they got beaten up."

Ruan Shaodong frowned, "Chu Tang, why don't you stop being a lawyer? Your law firm had an incident not long ago, and not long after that, you were harassed again. Being a lawyer is still too risky. What if you're retaliated against in the future? You should come back to work at the company. I'll arrange a general manager position for you."

Chu Tang shook his head. "No, I still prefer being a lawyer. I hold shares in the company, and dividends are enough for me. Besides, I know nothing about the management of a company. If you let me be the general manager, aren't you afraid that I will ruin your company?"

Ruan Shaodong laughed, "I will hire professionals to assist you."

Chu Tang still refused, "No need, I'll wait until I get tired of being a lawyer."

Ruan Shaodong sighed helplessly, "You..."

He signed the five-year legal consulting contract and immediately called the Finance Department to transfer 150,000 yuan to the law firm's public account.

Chu Tang smiled and said, "Has the company had any disputes recently?"

Ruan Shaodong made an internal call to call his subordinates.

"Let Xiao Zhang tell you. I don't usually care about these things."

"Row."
