Rebirth: Outstanding

Chapter 66 The Debut of Angie Peris

Looking at the date on the recruitment announcement, today and tomorrow are only preliminary screenings to check whether the applicants meet the basic requirements. A written test will be conducted three days later, followed by a preliminary interview, a final interview, a physical examination and a safety review.

Keeping the date of the written test in mind, Song Tianyao had breakfast, took out the 20,000 Hong Kong dollars in his wallet, and asked the hotel to help change it into 500 and 1,000 denominations. It seemed that the thickness had increased a lot, and he did not go to Likang Commercial Bank. Take a shift, but stop a rickshaw from the hotel: "Gloucester Tower, Pedder Street, Central."

Gloucester Tower is a commercial building. The former Hong Kong Hotel used to be the tallest landmark building in Hong Kong. It is now the Hong Kong branch of many international companies. Of course, in addition to various foreign companies, this building is also There are also many law firms. Song Tianyao came here to see a lawyer, and he was a foreign lawyer.

In Hong Kong, lawyers are indispensable for everything in the business field, but Likang did not contact the law firm himself. Instead, he shared a Teochew law firm with Chu Xiaozhong’s Liheng Company, and the law firm provided legal expertise. service.

Song Tianyao has no objection to using Chaozhou lawyers, but obviously, now Likang is not in a hurry to find reliable and loyal lawyers to help stare at the company’s various commercial contracts. At this time, what Likang needs is the network of Guilao lawyers, even this lawyer. It doesn't matter if he can't even remember a piece of Hong Kong law, as long as he has some connections, or take a step back, as long as he is a white British man, that's fine.

Standing in the lobby of the building and checking the distribution maps of various companies and firms, Song Tianyao began to search for targets. There is no need for individual law firms to enter and communicate, just stand outside the law firm and glance at the nameplate. Song Tianyao won’t even stop with Chinese names such as Du **** Law Firm, Zhou **** Law Firm or Danxin Law Firm, Chaosheng, Guanfeng and other names that are very Chinese at first glance, because from the name It has already shown that the lawyer is Chinese.

It is not the kind of large foreigner law firm that can stop him. He enters in and wants to let the lawyers who have a lot of work to help them. It is estimated that he will be scheduled to next year, and maybe Guilao lawyers will look down on it. Going to Likang, he refused directly or the lion opened his mouth to scare him away.

More than 60 law firms looked at more than 40 law firms, and finally, one nameplate was engraved with the word "yer" in English, but in Chinese it was engraved with the word Anzu-Pei Ruisi. There was only one office law firm that made Song Tianyao interested. Stopped.

Looking at the English-language lease reminder posted on the door, Song Tianyao nodded with satisfaction, and knocked on the door with his hand raised.

"Please come in." A female voice inside responded in English.

Song Tianyao's already satisfied face suddenly frowned. An Zu-Pei Ruisi, a masculine name, is actually a woman?

However, since there was a response, Song Tianyao turned around and left immediately, so he opened the door and walked in. Behind the desk, a white man with black-rimmed glasses and a black uniform dress, no more than twenty-five years old This kind of woman was raising her head from behind the desk and smiled at Song Tianyao who entered the door.

This office may be luxurious to many ordinary people, but in Song Tianyao's eyes, it is simply shabby and shabby. It does not seem to be a place where a lawyer practicing in Hong Kong should work. It is obviously used to pretend. The bookshelves are neatly arranged with various English books, but there is a thin layer of dust on the bookcases. Obviously they have not been turned over for a long time. The most important thing is that although the books on the books are in English, many of them have nothing to do with the law. Song Tianyao was a little surprised by the "Mrs. Chatterley's Lover", but he didn't expect the lawyer Anzu to be in good spirits.

A desk with documents stacked on it looks like things are cumbersome, but Song Tianyao sees more of this disguise, stacking English newspapers and documents together to increase the thickness, or the other party is just fine, or the other party is just stacking. Being together makes it feel like she is very busy now. For example, at this time, this female lawyer is writing and drawing in her notebook while looking at herself with a smile.

Song Tianyao sat down on the chair opposite the desk, the female lawyer stopped writing just right, raised her head and said in a bit blunt Cantonese: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I understand English, and we can communicate in English." Song Tianyao smiled and said to the female lawyer: "I would like to ask, do you have any other British male lawyers in your law firm?"

"I think the legal advice is not related to the gender of the lawyer, what do you think? Sir? I am Anzu-Peris, a practicing lawyer in this firm." The female lawyer heard Song Tianyao's tone that seemed to discriminate against women. Leaning back a bit, staring at Song Tianyao's eyes and said.

"Anzu-Pei Ruisi, Anzu-Pei Ruisi." Song Tianyao chanted the English pronunciation of the name twice in his heart, only to realize that a woman should be called Anji-Perisi, and Hong Kong used Cantonese transliteration to create an Anzu-Pei Ruisi's. The name is just like Michael Jordan was translated into Michael Jordan by Hong Kong.

"Ms. Perez, let's put it this way, I don't think women can help me solve the small troubles now. I don't discriminate against women, but the nature of the job is a bit special. In fact, everything about you meets the conditions in my mind, such as your yer status. , And you now need money to pay the rent, and the situation of using sandwiches for three meals, it is very qualified. The only drawback is that you are a woman, I guess you should not have any male assistants, so, goodbye, I wish you Have a nice day. Song Tianyao smiled farewell to the fake female lawyer, stood up and prepared to leave with disappointment.

"Do you know what yer means?" the female lawyer asked a little awkwardly.

"At least I know that it does not mean a solicitor. This word is used to refer to legal workers in general. I guess you must not have a local British license or an internship opportunity with a barrister firm, so you came to Hong Kong to work There are legal loopholes to extend your qualification as a trainee lawyer." Song Tianyao said to her.

In the last life, when he and his partners were doing international business, he had the experience of being fooled because he couldn't understand the terms of the professional titles of these British lawyers. Barrister, senior lawyer, senior lawyer, solicitor, assistant lawyer, intern. Lawyer, legal worker.

Strictly speaking, the woman in front of me can only be regarded as a legal worker, or a trainee lawyer without a lawyer’s license. From seeing the nameplate outside, Song Tianyao knew that the lawyer Anzu-Perrys inside was just from the UK. Hong Kong scammers who swindled Chinese people's money.

"You know my qualifications, but you still knock on the door." The woman stood up behind the desk, looked at Song Tianyao's back and said, "You don't need a lawyer, you need one."

The woman hesitated for a few seconds before she said the last word:

"Interest broker, I can do it."

Song Tianyao heard the last word and turned to look at the woman with sharp eyes: "If you can let me have dinner with the British officials of the Trade and Industry Department within two days, the ten thousand yuan will be yours. I know this building. How much is the building worth? Less than three million Hong Kong dollars, you help me introduce the British three hundred times, and every time I pay you 10,000 yuan, the money earned is enough for you to buy this building! You don’t have to worry about getting rented, but you can add other people’s rent at will, as much as you want!"

While speaking, Song Tianyao took out a thick wad of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and patted it gently in his hand: "I have a lot of money, but the opportunity is only given to you once. Cherish the opportunity, British poor."

Song Tianyao's mouth was frantic, but he couldn't help but admire in his heart. From his own words, he immediately guessed what kind of person he needs. This ghost woman's mind is absolutely fast enough!

"You are humiliating me." The woman frowned, tried to look away from the stack of banknotes in Song Tianyao's hand, and said with dissatisfaction looking at Song Tianyao's expression.

Song Tianyao laughed: "I am not humiliating Britain, nor am I humiliating the poor, but this is Hong Kong. There are many British people, but the British poor are very rare."

Angie-Perise's mouth moved, but there was no sound. After more than ten seconds, she repeated her previous sentence: "I can do it."

She came to Hong Kong from London three months ago. After graduating from London Law School, she joined her mentor's law firm and started her internship. As long as the half-year internship period is over, she can get a real lawyer practice. Take pictures and become a lawyer, but for a while, she was negligent. When the mentor asked her to deal with a business contract, because she happened to quarrel with her boyfriend and broke up, so no loopholes in the contract were found, which led to the business contract bringing seven to the client. The loss of tens of thousands of pounds also caused the tutor’s law firm to lose this big client. The tutor kicked her out of the law firm and suspended her lawyer career, but if she can’t get the internship report, she can’t get a senior lawyer. Signed and approved by, it is impossible to obtain a lawyer’s practice license. Seeing that the local internship period is about to end, and other law firms refuse to accept him, Angie-Perise has no choice but to take advantage of the local law and ran to Hong Kong, thinking that Hong Kong people are stupid. A lot of money can deceive Chinese people’s money, but I didn’t expect that there are already lawyers everywhere in Hong Kong. Chinese businessmen trust Chinese lawyers more, and British business firms will not pay attention to a lawyer who does not even have a license, or even those British law firms. She never hired a rookie like her who did not end her internship. Even if she only wanted to go for an internship in a senior law firm, since the senior lawyer was not her own mentor, she would need to pay 5,000 pounds to arrange her internship. Commissions are paid during the internship.

This miserable experience in Hong Kong made Angie-Peris even decided that after the rent expired this month, she was going to use her poor savings to buy a ferry ticket and try her luck in other British colonies to find opportunities. Unexpectedly, three days before the rent expired, she met Song Tianyao, or rather, she met the wad of banknotes, which gave her life in Hong Kong hope again.

"You have to move me, I will come out with the money." Seeing Angie-Perise stand up, Song Tianyao nodded somewhat satisfied, a uniform dress, a pair of black-framed glasses, this woman looks good. It may not be a pure-blooded Saxon, because it is mixed with Celtic or Spanish descent. Her face does not have as many freckles as those British women, nor is it as soft as the British woman’s appearance, on the contrary, it is deeper. It is more three-dimensional, and has long black hair with slightly dark red.

"I know that the wives of many officials have established paper companies, and I also know which lawyers they let them handle their business. There are male lawyers from a few law firms who always want to ask me for dinner. I can get the wife of an official from the Administration of Industry and Commerce. It’s more appropriate for a woman to visit a woman than for a man to visit a woman. If you want to give some gifts to show you, the wife of an official will make him feel more secure than giving it to him.” Anji— Peris tried her best to adjust her mind, and told Song Tianyao the idea she could think of the fastest.

Even the married male lawyers from several other offices in the building bluntly said the things that had always wanted to ask her.

However, Song Tianyao didn't seem to listen to her plan attentively. Instead, he moved his gaze to look at the office, and fixed his gaze on a shoe box next to the green plants in the corner: "Where do you live at night?"

"Caritas Hong Kong Methodist Church of the Savior, I said that I am a Methodist catechumen, so the church allowed me to live there." When Angie-Lopez said this, it seemed that Song Tianyao found out that she had no lawyer before. The qualifications were even more embarrassing, and he lowered his head in shame.

The Church of the Savior of the Caritas Methodist Church is in Central, very close to Gloucester Tower. It is an English church. No wonder this woman’s office has a pair of shoes, probably flat shoes, which are used for walking in the morning and evening. The office is replaced with high heels at this time.

"I'll take you to have lunch, and then go to the Durris Hotel to open a room for a long stay. What do you think? If you see those officials' wives, you can never say that you live in a simple church dormitory." Song Tianyao retracted his gaze, right. At this time, the woman who seemed to blame herself for blasphemy said: "Don’t blame yourself, you can treat it as God’s help when you are down. If you are really embarrassed, I can use your money with yours. Donated to the Caritas Savior Church in name."

"No, it's better for me to do it myself." Upon hearing Song Tianyao's last words, Angie-Pellis immediately raised her head and simply rejected the other party's proposal: "I will leave my old clothes to those who need help, but It is better for me to allocate the money myself."

Seeing the woman come out from behind the desk without hesitation, picking up her handbag and sun hat, and preparing to go out with herself, Song Tianyao's mouth slightly cocked:

"You didn't seem to ask my name or what business I did, Attorney Periss."

After putting the sun hat on her head, Angie-Peris responded by giving Song Tianyao a smile: "Is that important? Sir?"

Song Tianyao and the woman walked out of the office door, took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the building. Seeing Song Tianyao stopped two rickshaws casually, the corner of Angie-Perise’s mouth rose up: "It looks like there are people who are actually like me, but they are Pretend, the difference is that I use the office, and some people use money in their pockets."

"Wrong, if I want to pretend, I will really drive a car out. On the contrary, I don’t need to spend that money on you. You don’t need to. More money, coachman, trouble, Du Lishi Hotel." Song Tianyao leaned in the car comfortably, took out a cigarette and lit it, smiled and looked at Angie-Peris in the car next to him.
