Chapter 52.4 “Lest you scold me behind my back again.”

“I followed Dai Qin here today, also because I want to hire a legal advisor for my future company in the area of labour.” With all the causes and consequences clearly described, Wang Yuqi got straight to the point, “Because apart from Dai Qin, I will soon recruit four more employees. Although I have working experience, it is my first time as a business owner to run a company, so I really don’t know anything about what kind of employment contract to sign with employees, what kind of employee handbook to make, or what to pay attention to when dealing with personnel issues. I need a law firm to provide some professional legal support.”

She looked at Ji Lin and Bai Duan Duan, “If it’s convenient, I’d also like to ask you two to be our long-term legal advisors, I wonder if it’s convenient?” 

Wang Yuqi was a little embarrassed when she said, “But because we are a start-up company and although we got the investment, there are many places to spend money and the budget is limited. However, I have done some calculations and strive to give you the highest amount of legal service fee I can afford. Do you think 80,000 a year is enough?”

Bai Duanduan knows Ji Lin’s rates and also knows the price he receives as the lawyer in charge of signing legal counsel agreements, not to mention 80,000, even 180,000, was not enough……

“Can I discuss this with Mr. Ji and let you know the outcome afterwards?”

“Yes.”

As a result, Bai Duanduan’s voice and Ji Lin’s voice sounded at the same time.

Compared to his own eagerness, Ji Lin’s voice had a bit of a cold quality in its slowness. He ignored Bai Duanduan’s stunned gaze and looked straight at Wang Yuqi, “We can do this price, in fact, if it’s 80,000 ……” he glanced at Bai Duanduan, “It’s even a little too much, 50,000 will do.”

Wang Yuqi originally thought her offer of 80,000 was not worth mentioning and would be politely rejected on the spot, but unexpectedly the peaks turned around and not only did Ji Lin across the table say that 80,000 was perfectly fine, he even took the initiative to lower the price by 30,000. She was so excited that she confirmed the details of the employment agreement with Ji Lin on the spot and went straight through the contract process.

50,000 yuan for a year to take care of all the legal services of a small start-up company in the area of labour and management, something that was impossible for Ji Lin to do, but now it was actually happening.

Wang Yuqi was very happy, “Thank you! Thank you, Lawyer Ji, Lawyer Bai! You can rest assured, I myself was once a female employee who was oppressed by the company, and now that I have changed my status to become a female boss, I will not forget my original intention. In terms of labour and personnel, I will follow the law, and there will not be many labour disputes, and I will not cause you any trouble.”

Bai Duanduan did not expect that the matter would be settled in one go, so efficiently and quickly that she was even a bit cloudy.

And before saying goodbye, Wang Yuqi was still full of gratitude and emotion. Although Ji Lin didn’t say anything, no one was stupid. Wang Yuqi obviously knew that the 50,000 yuan was Ji Lin’s favor.

“I am really grateful to you both, all I can do is to live up to each and every one of your expectations and good intentions, and run my public studio properly to be able to provide more disadvantaged working women with job opportunities so that they too can have one more choice and one more freedom in the cruel workplace.”

Until Bai Duanduan dropped them off at the door of the law firm, Wang Yuqi and Dai Qin still looked moved and thanked them over and over again.

And it was only when they had completely walked away and left that Bai Duanduan turned to look at Ji Lin, who had a cold and natural face.

“Since when did your legal counsel fees become so cheap? Only fifty thousand? Why would you want to take this job?”

Ji Lin glanced at Bai Duanduan, his voice a little unnatural, “Wasn’t it you who wished to take it?”

“Huh? What?”

Bai Duanduan still wanted to ask, but Ji Lin turned around and walked away.

Bai Duanduan reacted and followed behind Ji Lin while saying, “Ji Lin, wait, do I want you to fulfill my wish, are you the Aladdin’s lamp? Then in that case, I was hoping you would give me a raise!”

“Didn’t I give you a raise?”

Oh, that’s true …..

“Then I wish I could get a holiday! I want to go out on a date!”

It’s been a long time since she have seen Duan Yun and Xue Wen. Their usual sisterly dates at least once a month were gone!

As a result of mentioning a holiday, Ji Lin sank his face, “That won’t work. I’ve been working overtime lately.”

Bai Duanduan couldn’t help but wail, but Ji Lin ignored her, and even his tone was cold, “Compare my usual legal counsel rates, and then see how much the difference is for this one I’ve picked up for you. Shouldn’t you work overtime to make it up to me? Fewer appointments, more work.”

“……”

All right, all right, but what do you mean you picked this up for you?

He said it as if she was like a witch who caused the king to give birth prematurely.

“But really, you took it for me? Why?”

Ji Lin frowned, a face of impatience, tone with uncomfortable, “Are you very idle? Ask again then I’ll regret taking it.”

“……”

You’re a fickle man, I won’t ask, I won’t ask!

However, when she stopped asking, Ji Lin wanted to talk, he pursed his lips and averted his gaze, “Weren’t you the one who said that women in the workplace have it tough and that as men you can never empathize with them? I’m certainly not going to become a woman in my lifetime, but since you accuse us men of not putting ourselves in the shoes of women enough, I’ll do something for you out of spite of myself.”

He looked up at Bai Duanduan as he said this, “Lest you scold me behind my back again.”

“……”
