64: Chapter 64 Acquisition of a Law Firm

"CEO, the person is already out of sight, so don't just stand here like a wife-watching stone." Fan Shi stepped forward to remind him.

"Go to the office and continue the unfinished project." Fu Sheng turned and walked toward the office.

The CEO's door closed.

A sneaky person came out of the pantry, sat down in the secretary's office, and picked up their phone to send a message.

[Sister, your path to love is completely over. Today, the CEO carried a beautiful woman into his office and didn't come out for a long time.]

[And I also noticed that the beauty's lip was cut.]

Just after the message was sent, a phone call came in. An emotionally distraught voice asked, "Is the message you sent true? CEO Fu has a girlfriend?"

"Yes, but it seems this girl also has an ambiguous relationship with another man, and CEO Fu knows about it." The secretary told her what she had just seen.

"No, a woman like that doesn't deserve to be CEO Fu's girlfriend. Send me a photo of her." The female voice on the other end turned low and somber.

"I can't. I only promised to help you by notifying you if the CEO has someone he likes."

"That way, you can let go of your obsession."

"I want to let go too, but I'm not willing to. That woman is leading CEO Fu on while flirting with another man. A woman like that simply isn't worthy of CEO Fu."

"Whether she's worthy or not isn't for you to decide. This is the last time I'm giving you information; I won't do it again."

"Let's not contact each other anymore." The secretary felt she was becoming increasingly obsessed with CEO Fu, so it was better to cut ties early.

[Ding! Daily mission issued: Please, host, spend 100 million in cash today.]

[Mission success: 1 billion will be returned. Mission failure: Half of the host's funds will be deducted.]

[Ding! Side mission issued: Please, host, acquire a law firm within two days.]

[Mission success: Reward of X-ray vision for one week. Mission failure: Penalty of level four electric shock.]

"Fugui, tell me which law firm in Magic City is the best." Gao Ying wasn't worried at all about the missions issued by the system now.

As long as the money is right, what can't be settled?

[Found it. Principal Law Firm is the best; it's filled with senior lawyers.]

[However, this firm has encountered some issues recently. They offended someone they shouldn't have and are currently facing retaliation.]

"I knew the system wouldn't issue an acquisition mission for no reason. Send me the address; I'll go take a look."

"By the way, tell me about what happened to the firm."

Gao Ying sent the address to Yin Lin and listened to Fugui talk about the firm's situation.

[This firm took on a case where the defendant wanted to sue Hengzheng Law Firm.]

[Hengzheng has three gold-medal lawyers and even poached several senior lawyers from Principal.]

[However, the cases Hengzheng takes on don't care about the other party's grievances, only whether the money is enough.]

[As long as you pay enough, they can get a death sentence reduced to a fixed term.]

[So, most people who seek out Hengzheng are Fugui.]

[Principal, on the other hand, is the opposite; they refuse to cooperate with those Fugui evildoers.]

[They have handled many cases for the common people.]

[The person suing Hengzheng this time is doing so because his younger sister was harassed by a superior at a company.]

[His sister also has a fiery temper and hit the superior over the head. That superior then hired Hengzheng to sue her.]

[The result was predictable. The superior twisted the truth, claiming the subordinate seduced him and then retaliated when he didn't comply.]

[The girl's family wasn't well-off, so they didn't hire an expensive firm and lost the case just like that.]

[The superior felt that wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he spread rumors online. The girl couldn't handle the pressure and committed suicide by jumping off a building.]

[To avenge his sister, her brother sold the family home and sought out Principal.]

[Originally, with Principal's lead partner, winning this lawsuit wouldn't have been difficult, but the superior's background is not simple, so it has been dragged out until now.]

"So now the company of that superior who bullied the girl and this Hengzheng firm are working together against Principal?" Hearing this, Gao Ying guessed what happened next.

[Yes, Hengzheng is currently poaching Principal's lawyers in private, and a few of them are wavering.]

[After all, Principal is now in a precarious position.]

"Isn't it just about money? I have nothing else but plenty of money right now. That Hengzheng firm doesn't need to stay open anymore."

"As for that company, it's a medium-sized enterprise, but it's just a matter of money and time." Gao Ying didn't plan to let either of them off.

"Ying'er, I'll handle the company's matters. AFeng has been dealing with the follow-up issues of Fu Corporation lately, so he definitely won't have time." Yin Lin took over the task.

"Alright, I'll transfer 50 billion to that card of yours." Just as Gao Ying finished the transfer, the system's 1 billion reward arrived.

About an hour later, they arrived at Principal Law Firm.

"Hello, how can I help you today?" The receptionist saw the guests and hurried forward to greet them.

"We're looking for your lead partner," Yin Lin said.

"Alright, please wait a moment, I'll notify him right away."

The receptionist called to inform the boss.

"Please follow me." Having received approval, the receptionist led the way.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the office was very heavy.

"Principal, the firm can hardly hold on anymore. Why bother receiving clients?" one of the middle-aged lawyers said with a sigh.

"As long as the law firm hasn't closed down, I won't give up," Zhou Jingxing said firmly.

"Boss, here are our resignation letters. We're truly sorry, but we have families to support and can't gamble with our futures." Two lawyers handed in their resignations.

"It's my fault for letting you down. I'll transfer your salaries to you right now." Zhou Jingxing wasn't angry about their resignations.

The adult world is just that cruel and helpless.

After receiving their pay, the two thanked him again and left.

They happened to run into Gao Ying's group of three on the way out.

[They are the two who were being poached, but they didn't agree to join Hengzheng Law Firm either.]

[The reason they're leaving is also because of their families,] Fugui said.

"So, have these two found jobs yet?" That was what Gao Ying cared about.

[No, Hengda is blocking them.]

"Are you two also lawyers here?" Gao Ying called out to them.

"Sorry, we aren't anymore, but Lawyer Zhou's professional ability is excellent." The two didn't forget to recommend the firm's strengths.

"If I had a way to bring this law firm back to life, would you still be willing to stay here?" Seeing that the two were indeed decent, Gao Ying felt a desire to recruit talent.

"If it were possible, of course we wouldn't want to leave. There isn't much office politics here, and getting along with colleagues is very comfortable."

"It's just that you really can't help with the firm's troubles." Speaking of this, their spirits were very low.

"Whether I can help or not isn't for you to decide. Since you don't want to leave, then go back."

"If you've seen my strength and still think it's no use, I won't stop you." Gao Ying finished and continued toward the office with confident strides.

Knock knock. "Lawyer Zhou, I've brought them in." The receptionist led them inside and then went to prepare tea.

"Hello, I am Zhou Jingxing, the person in charge of this law firm."

"I'm not sure what kind of lawsuit you've come to see me about." Zhou Jingxing invited them to sit.
