Chapter 11 Newcomer

Throwing a sentence to Han Zhao, "The office said that there is a position for me to go for an interview", He Jing hurriedly got up, washed, dressed, and rushed to the office.

Han Zhao's family is in Puxi, and his office is in Lujiazui, Pudong. The subway line needs to be changed, so the time is very tight.He Jing didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so he hurried and finally arrived at the institute 15 minutes earlier.

He explained his purpose to the front desk, and after some confirmation, the front desk said that the partner's secretary would come out to pick him up later.

On Monday morning, the law firm was busy with lawyers and clients coming in and out at the door.

As an intern, He Jing had actually left this place only a few days ago, and now he was sitting on the sofa in the waiting area as an applicant again, feeling uneasy.

It's rare that the personnel department can still think of him who has been driven away, but he doesn't know what kind of person the partner is looking for, can he satisfy him?

Ah, when I answered the phone in the morning, I didn't even ask the partner's name!If you want to know who it is, you can at least make targeted preparations... I blame myself for being too anxious, I should discuss it with Han Zhao after answering the phone...

While He Jing was sitting there feeling annoyed, a young woman with delicate makeup walked up to him on high heels.

"Is it He Jing?"

"Ah, it's me." He Jing quickly stood up from the sofa.

"I'm Emily, lawyer Lin's secretary, please follow me." After finishing speaking, he turned and led him to the office area to the south.

The law firm occupies an entire floor on the 45th floor. Apart from the reception desk and conference room, the office area is divided into the south area and the north area.He Jing's previous internship team was in the North District, and Emily is taking him to the South District, and he rarely goes there.

Along the way, I didn't see a familiar colleague.He Jing thought that a partner he had met gave him the opportunity to interview, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember which partner he knew in the firm was named Lin.

While he was still thinking hard, Emily stopped outside an office door.

"Lawyer Lin," Emily knocked on the door, "I brought He Jing here."

"Please come in."

The door of the office was pushed open, and He Jing was invited into the office by the secretary before he could read the lawyer's name written on the door.

The south-facing room is sunny, and a male lawyer in a neat suit is sitting in front of the case with his head bowed and signing documents.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, the lawyer behind the desk raised his head and pointed to the chair in front of the desk to He Jing: "Sit down."

He Jing sat down slowly. Looking at the somewhat familiar handsome face in front of him, he blurted out, "Lin Qiao?!"

Remembering that the other party was actually a partner, he quickly changed his words: "Ah, no, Lawyer Lin."

"What, you look surprised?" Lin Qiao naturally understood what he was thinking, "I told you, just call me Joe."

The lawyer in front of him was the one who drove He Jing to the subway station when He Jing was driven away last Thursday.He Jing thought that Lin Qiao was at most a senior lawyer, but he didn't expect to be a partner.

After being surprised, He Jing suddenly remembered that he had brought the umbrella he borrowed that day.

"Lawyer Lin, thank you for your umbrella," He Jing said as he frantically pulled out a short-handled umbrella and handed it to Lin Qiao, "I really didn't expect my partner to look so young."

"Young?" Lin Qiao touched his chin with his left hand, then smiled, "'Looking young' is not a good evaluation of a lawyer."

The sunlight crawled halfway onto Lin Qiao's desk. When he raised his left hand, the ring inlaid with blue diamonds reflected the sunlight, leaving a colorful shadow on the table.

He Jing's eyes were naturally attracted by the ring, and on his left hand...the ring finger...he suddenly realized that it was a wedding ring.

"He Jing, I'll cut to the chase." Lin Qiao cut straight to the point, "Our team's business has developed well this year, and we need to hire someone to share the workload. Originally, I wanted to find a more senior lawyer, but..."

Lin Qiao pondered for a while: "After I met you, I went to lawyer Yang, took some Legal Research that you did, and asked about your performance."

When Lin Qiao said this, He Jing's heart was pounding.Before he left, he categorically rejected Lawyer Yang's proposal, and even treated him arrogantly. I guess there is nothing good to say about it.

"He Jing, Attorney Yang has a good opinion of you."

He Jing looked at Lin Qiao in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his words.

Lin Qiao smiled: "What? Now you think he is fair?"

"No, I..." He Jing was pierced by him, and he didn't know how to say it.

Lin Qiao didn't embarrass him anymore, and changed the subject directly: "My team's work is very different from Lawyer Yang's. Lawyer Yang focuses on the business of large state-owned enterprises, and I mainly do foreign-related non-litigation company law—— From the establishment and change of foreign-invested enterprises, mergers and acquisitions, to the listing of domestic companies in foreign capital markets. Our business will involve many special regulations on foreign investment, and we need to understand some ideas of foreign customers that are different from Chinese. Of course, for a Grade-level lawyers mainly do research and translation, and the current requirements are not high, as long as their English is good enough."

He Jing thinks he is good at English, he is the only one in the class who has passed the test of advanced interpreting, otherwise he would not get the Hewei scholarship for all English interviews.But he knew that Hewei was full of returnees who had studied in famous foreign schools, so he really didn't dare to boast in front of Lin Qiao.

"As for the salary and benefits, the standard first-year lawyer package in the firm applies. I asked HR for a salary and benefits statement. You can take a look."

He Jing took the document from Lin Qiao and glanced down.

Unlike Han Zhao’s small law firm where each lawyer works alone, Hewei, a well-known large firm in the industry, pays attention to brand effect and implements corporate management. The salary for lawyers of all levels is close to that of foreign-funded law firms. The pre-tax salary of a lawyer is also 8000 a month.

For a law graduate, He Jing felt that he could not be more satisfied in terms of salary or future.

"International practice - lawyers don't have overtime pay. I don't know what Lawyer Yang asks for. Almost every project in our team is charged by the hour. If your working hours exceed the standard at the end of the year, there will be a bonus. The basic situation is like this, so..."

Lin Qiao looked into his eyes: "What do you think?"

Realizing that Lin Qiao was asking him if he would accept the offer, He Jing straightened his back.

"Lawyer Lin, I don't know what to say," He Jing took a breath, "I was at the end of the world when I met you last Thursday, but today you gave me an offer I've always dreamed of..."

"I really want to work with you!" He Jing sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Lin Qiao waved his hand at him: "The work of a lawyer is very hard, I hope you are mentally prepared, and there is..."

Lin Qiao stood up and stretched out his right hand towards He Jing.

"Welcome."

After a simple interview, Lin Qiao took him out to meet other members of the team.

The cubicles of the other lawyers are just outside Lin Qiao's office. Besides He Jing, there are four other lawyers plus administrative secretaries, all female generals.

"Ask Emily about administrative issues such as signing a labor contract, registering for permanent residence, and daily reimbursement," Lin Qiao pointed to the secretary who had just brought him here, and then pointed to a senior lawyer who had just been introduced, " You work with Jennifer, and she is responsible for reviewing all paperwork for you."

Jennifer smiled at He Jing, looking friendly.

When it was time to eat, the staff in the office area started to move around frequently. A female secretary from another group walked behind Lin Qiao, saw He Jing surrounded by them, and asked Emily with her mouth: "Little fresh meat?"

Emily nodded at her and smiled mysteriously again.

Seeing that it was almost time for everyone to greet each other, Lin Qiao raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's time for dinner, is He Jing free at noon?"

He Jing nodded.

Lin Qiao clapped his hands together: "We welcome newcomers today, teamlunch, we will leave in 5 minutes."
