She knew Lawyer Gu too well. She knew that the latter would usually not even bother to accept a request to look at a contract without notifying him in advance.

Maybe they'll say something like "pay first and then find a time when I'm in a good mood."

Then the female assistant saw Lawyer Gu take the copy from Jiang Mu.

Before answering the call, he even wiped his hands with toilet paper...

"..."

Not to mention the female assistant's expression of doubt about life, "Did I go to the wrong set?"

Lawyer Gu quickly flipped through the pages for a few minutes and exclaimed, "This is amazing."

"It's really amazing." Jiang Mu said.

"Eh, eh?"

This is the female assistant who was standing next to Lawyer Gu and peeking at him, but had no idea what was going on.

"How can this be so amazing...Isn't this just an unfair contract?"

She was angry, "Copyright and author authorization issues, writing account and pen name management, free, paid and net profit sharing, and even priority for the next work...

The copyright will be returned fifty years after the author's death. Isn't the maximum copyright holding period only fifty years after the author's death? Isn't this contract illegal at all?"

"That's why I say it's amazing." Jiang Mu spread his hands, "I'm sorry, it's legal."

"why?"

"Because this is an 'agreement', not a 'contract'." Jiang Mu said, "You should know the difference between an agreement and a contract, but I'll still explain it. In short, this agreement is not applicable to contract law. Although it does not have the convenience of a contract, it is commonly used in some places.

For example, if you go to buy a commercial property, the developer will definitely ask you to sign something like the "Supplementary Agreement of XX Company". Any item in it that you pick out at random is basically not in compliance with the Contract Law, but if you don't sign it, others will not do business with you."

"That's too soft to say."

Lawyer Gu said disdainfully, "You could have just said it more bluntly. The reason why agreements, which are different from contracts, exist is largely because some areas are not restricted by contract law.

In modern times, robbing people with knives in dark alleys is outdated. Real robberies are carried out with this kind of thing, with a whole professional legal team analyzing the text of the law word by word, thinking about where to find loopholes that can be exploited, and finally implementing them to rob thousands of law-illiterate people. "

He patted the papers in his hands.

"So, why did you show me this? Do you want me to get outraged and report it and defend it? Do you think I'm the same idiot as you? You should do this kind of thing yourself, I won't do it... Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that your lawyer license has been revoked, hehehe."

"Why, do you find it difficult?" Jiang Mu smiled.

"The opponent is an entire legal department, the industry leader. It's not difficult to explain. You know the situation and still think you are hitting the wall. Only an idiot like you would do that."

Jiang Mu didn't say anything.

He slowly cut a piece of steak, savoring the tempting taste of black pepper.

Lawyer Gu frowned slowly.

"…Are you really going to try? I thought you were just having an ordinary attack, and I was ready to listen to your complaints."

"Oh, so thoughtful?" Jiang Mu was surprised.

"Thoughtfulness has always been my byword. Now that you know this, I suggest you kneel down and thank me for my great kindness."

Lawyer Gu said, “In that case, let me kindly remind you again that you no longer have your lawyer’s license, and you will never have the opportunity to take the exam again in your lifetime. No matter how angry or indignant you are, you can only be angry for a short time.

I sincerely suggest that you focus on writing your novels. You are already a great author, so don’t worry about those incompetent losers. This society has always been like this, and you should adapt to it.”

"I really can't." Jiang Mu said calmly, "But you can."

Lawyer Gu looked as if he had heard something extremely funny.

"I?"

He pointed at himself.

Laughing mockingly.

“What a joke, as a lawyer, choosing a case is more important than defending it, do you think I’m as stupid as you?

I see. I was wondering why you suddenly came to me. So you had this in mind. I guess you might say something like 'If you win, you'll become famous' next. You don't need to waste your breath on that anymore."

Lawyer Gu took a sip of coffee slowly.

"Also, if you ask someone to do something for you, you should have the right attitude. Look at your unbridled sitting posture and arrogant face. How can you beg someone for help? Even if you beg me, I won't agree."

"it is good."

Jiang Mu looked at Lawyer Gu seriously.

"I beg you."

Lawyer Gu’s smile froze.

Like a movie that suddenly hits the pause button.

He put down the coffee in his hand tremblingly.

Gray-black liquid splashed out and landed on the expensive suit.

The female assistant knew very well that this was Attorney Gu's most expensive outfit and he would only wear it on rare occasions, such as ceremonies or funerals.

Every time I get involved in something scandalous, I get so upset that I improvise and curse her for more than a hundred words.

But Lawyer Gu didn't care about any of this at all.

"You begged me?"

He repeated stupidly.

"Yes, I beg you."

Jiang Mu also repeated.

"…How the hell can you beg me?"

Lawyer Gu was so confused that he didn't even know where to put his hands and feet.

"You are...you are Jiang Mu!"

"Because I really can't do it. I don't have a lawyer's license. I can go infiltrate, find evidence, check information, and do everything, but the only thing I can't do is appear in court and stand in the position of a lawyer."

Jiang Mu said calmly, "I know who my opponent is, and I also know it's difficult. The court is a lawyer's battlefield. A person who can't go to the battlefield will never win no matter how well prepared he is."

"…So I need someone who can help me on the battlefield, someone I trust as much as he trusts me. He needs to be strong enough, eloquent enough, firm enough, cunning enough, and most importantly, willing to help me once."

"If you want, I can help you and be your assistant. I can help you with any chores. You know I'm an orphan, so I've always been good at this. I may not be as considerate as Miss Dai, but I should know your character well enough."

"So, Gu Yan, I beg you to help me this time."

The air fell silent.

The silence was like the white mist on the rim of a coffee cup.

The female assistant secretly looked at Lawyer Gu and saw his extremely wonderful expression.

It's as brilliant as a musical score that's been tied into a knot.

It was not until a car whizzed past the window that Lawyer Gu stood up calmly.

"Hmph, what nonsense."

He sneered, "I thought you were a determined person, but I didn't expect you to have such a servile side. It really makes me sick. Xiaozhen, let's go."

Turn around and leave.

Step forward with your left foot and left hand at the same time.

Shaky.

The female assistant stood up subconsciously.

He was stopped by Jiang Mu.

"...Lawyer Jiang?"

"Wait a moment." Jiang Mu blinked, "Don't be impatient."

Half a minute later.

"I forgot to bring my cell phone."

Lawyer Gu walked back in the same manner as when he left.

Another half minute.

"And a watch."

Finally, a full three minutes.

"Tsk, why don't you leave, a woman with no breasts and no brains!?"

Lawyer Gu was unhappy. "I knew there was an attraction between idiots. You are indeed an ungrateful person who can never be fed...Okay, okay, since you want to help this ultimate idiot so much, I will help him this time with reluctance. Let me make it clear in advance that I want half of the compensation!"

The female assistant who didn't say a word from beginning to end: "..."

what?

===

===

A week later.

Office.

As the female assistant stepped on the leaves and walked into the door, she saw Lawyer Gu holding the handle with one hand and silently covering his forehead with the other hand.

"Xiaozhen, you came just in time."

"what?"

"Get him out."

"what?????"

"Ah, what's that? I said, get this bastard named Jiang Mu out, the one who ripped the leaves off my potted plants, the one who occupied my thirty-thousand-dollar chair to write for five hours, the one who rummaged through the books in my study, the one who used Zangief to tackle me more than thirty times in a row in Street Fighter!"

"Actually, I've fallen forty times." Jiang Mu added.

Lawyer Gu: “…”

I must have been crazy to agree to let him be my assistant.

Lawyer Gu repeated this sentence in his mind for the seventh time.

As Jiang Mu said, Lawyer Gu is the kind of person who is "born to be a lawyer". He is cunning and sharp, cold-blooded and ruthless, good at speaking, and most importantly, has almost no morals.

Such a person would, of course, be very rich.

So Attorney Gu could afford such a spacious house with plenty of light, luxurious decoration, expensive collection of books, and the latest extra-large-screen TV for gaming.

Then Jiang Mu hugged him and threw him to the ground forty times in a row...

The screen is huge.

Every time you get thrown, it shows clearly.

"Don't pay attention to him." Jiang Mu smiled at the female assistant, "He used to talk too much nonsense when he was in college, and the professor always called him out to stand in the corner as punishment."

"Yes, every time I stand outside I can see you waiting for me there early." Lawyer Gu glanced sideways.

The female assistant was surprised: "So you two were college classmates?"

"It's all bad luck."

Lawyer Gu obviously didn't want to talk about these things.

He glanced at Jiang Mu and said, "Didn't you say you were going to uphold justice? If that's the case, why don't you file a lawsuit quickly? Now is the time when people are very angry. If we wait a few days until the public relations department comes up with a suitable method, even the two of us won't have any chance of winning."

The female assistant's eyes widened: "Wait, wait, wait, are you trying to use public opinion to pressure the other side?"

"It's not that I want to, but if it's necessary, then I have to do it."

Jiang Mu said casually, "Litigation is war, and war means using every possible means. If you want to shake the entire team with your own strength, you must use everything you can, find enough witnesses, collect enough evidence, and use all legal means. This is called war.

The purpose of war may be sacred, but war itself is not sacred."

Lawyer Gu looked at the female assistant whose worldview had collapsed, and said calmly: "You may have unrealistic expectations of Jiang Mu, thinking that he is a kind of white flower, then you are very wrong...

Have you seen the movie "Justice, My Foot"? The greedy are treacherous, and the honest are even more treacherous than the former. Even if you have never faced this person head-on, you should at least know my style. How could I lose to someone who shouts stupid slogans of justice and behaves in a law-abiding manner? "
