Chapter 11.2 Business is not righteous! ! !

“Xu Zhixin, occasionally showing your weakness to people is not such an unforgivable thing. Many times, revealing your weakness is the beginning of building a trust bond, and it is not that hard to be honest about your difficulties with others. There are many things and people in this world where and with whom sincerity is exchanged for sincerity.”

Bai Duanduan sighed, “If you had told the true reason why you did not hire a nurse to take care of your father at the beginning of asking for a sick leave, things may not have developed to this point. At least, even if you did not say at that time, when Yan Xin wanted to dismiss you, before arbitration you could have honestly admitted that you did cheat on your sick leave, tell the reason directly to her and accept your fault. Even if there is no compensation, Jin Guang Electronics would also have been more willing to give you a voluntary resignation from the work, rather than as it is now. Not only did you not get the money, but you also lost your reputation in the industry circle.”

“Including your meeting with your girlfriend’s parents, have you ever thought that the change in their attitude towards you is not because they dislike your family’s poor situation, but because they think you are not a honest person, and that’s why they can’t trust you?”

Xu Zhixin opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out, and he fell into silence.

“And if you had tried to be honest with me and told me everything, I would have definitely done my best to get the best plan for you. At least it wouldn’t be like this today, where you have to carry a resignation letter for cheating on sick leave, and your girlfriend, too, would have her career affected by the complaint report.”

Xu Zhixin mumbled, “I’m sorry, Lawyer Bai, it’s true that I didn’t expect so many things to happen back then. It’s really all because of my own fault.” When he said this, the man had tears in his eyes again. It was indeed very difficult for him to end up like this now.

In fact, not to mention Xu Zhixin, even Bai Duanduan herself did not expect this. For labour disputes of this scale like Xu Zhixin’s, the fees were not high at all, so most lawyers would just routinely do their due diligence, and would definitely not exhaust all methods to the end like Ji Lin did, to the point of paranoia.

The cost of his time and effort spent on this case far exceeded the financial benefits this case can bring to him, which was simply impossible in a normal lawyer’s service.

If not for the fact that the opposing lawyer in this case was Ji Lin, Bai Duanduan could foresee that without knowing about how Xu Zhixin had faked his own sickness, he would have won beautifully against Jin Guang Electronics following the path of his own plan.

It was a pity that Xu Zhixin met Ji Lin.

“Lawyer Bai, now I also admit that my crime deserves the punishment, but for Jia Nan, can you help me beg Lawyer Ji and the company to withdraw their hand from reporting her?”

In the end, faced with Xu Zhixin’s bitter plea, Bai Duanduan eventually softened her heart and nodded, “I’ll give it a try.”

Although she agreed, Bai Duanduan simply could not find the opportunity to “try”. She returned to the office and called Ji Lin, thinking she was ready to show her friendliness first, and then discuss the matter of Xu Zhixin’s girlfriend. However, as soon as she explained her intention, Ji Lin ruthlessly gave her two words.

“No time.”

“……”

Without waiting for Bai Duanduan’s response, he gave her another two words, “Hang up.”

Bai Duanduan hurriedly said, “Wait! I just want to say a few words to you!”

Ji Lin’s voice was a little too cold, “If you pay me as per my rate, you can.”

Bai Duanduan laughed, “Ji Lin, has anyone ever told you that you’re really not fit for joking and you’re too cold.”

“I’m not joking. My hourly rate is 8000 RMB, accurate to the second. If you’re sure you want to say it, I’ll start timing.”

Although she knew that Ji Lin’s charges were expensive, hearing his rates so directly, Bai Duanduan still couldn’t help but scream,”Why don’t you go and rob. 8000! That’s too expensive! Give me a discou……”

Bai Duanduan could say the word “discount”, the phone receiver made the beeping sound of the phone being hung up ……

“Hello? Hello? Ji Lin?”

I only just complained about the expensive price! I can’t believe he hung up on me! ! ! His business is not public-spirited and principled! ! !

Really, Bai Duanduan wondered with all sincerity how Ji Lin had managed to live so long without being beaten to death.

However, although he was hard to catch by anyone during his work, he was caught by Bai Duanduan after work.

He was not actually caught. When Bai Duanduan was waiting for the lift to rise, Ji Lin stepped in from outside. If it were usual time, Bai Duanduan would have pressed the close button, but today, thinking that she had a mission to accomplish, Bai Duanduan had to leave the door open and wait for Ji Lin to enter the lift in a slow and orderly manner.

Both of them live on a high floor. The lift was running slow, and now only Bai Duanduan and Ji Lin happened to be alone ……

Bai Duanduan decided to seize the opportunity, “Lawyer Ji, Xu Zhixin’s case, I want to ……”

“No, you don’t want to.”

????

Can we still chat properly?

Bai Duanduan endured her anger and tried to calm down, “Xu Zhixin decided to accept your conditions for conciliation, but at one request. Can you forgive Dr. Chen Jia Nan? You can investigate her, she usually works very conscientiously and responsibly, and has very high praise online. Even after the clinic is closed, she often helps patients with extra numbers. It doesn’t matter if she is tired, her motive is as long as the patients can get medical treatment as early as possible, she is really a good doctor ……”

Bai Duanduan briefly told the plight of both Chen Jia Nan and Xu Zhixin, hoping to arouse Ji Lin’s sympathy, only to have Ji Lin’s cold eyes interrupt Bai Duanduan before she could finish, “I said you wouldn’t want to talk to me about this topic.”

Ji Lin’s voice was very cold, “As I said, what I hate the most is people like this, who break the rules and think they are good with it. If these people don’t get a lesson, they won’t feel from their bones that they are at fault. They even feel that they are helping others by sacrificing themselves and risking their lives, and they still feel very great, and once they have gotten away with this once, they will definitely continue a second time. There are only zero and countless times when you don’t follow the rules once you get to the sweet spot you’re aiming for.” He gave Bai Duanduan a look, “It’s the same thing as cheating.”

Bai Duanduan had to admit that once Ji Lin opened his mouth, she really didn’t want to talk to him …… because she found out that Ji Lin really didn’t care about other people at all. When he spoke, he didn’t care at all what the person who was listening would think. He would point out the problem very directly and even embarrassingly on their face. He didn’t know how to be vague and euphemistic and friendly at all.

In simple terms, talking and communicating with such a person will probably lead to internal injuries.

“Has anyone ever told you that you really don’t speak very well?” Bai Duanduan tried to held her tongue but couldn’t hold back, “I only did my duty by helping my client to convey his meaning to you, and if you think it’s not working, you can just politely reject me with something like ‘Sorry, my client still insists on complaining’, why do you have to say something so harsh and scold me as well?

Ji Lin was stunned, and just when Bai Duanduan thought he had finally realised his problem, she heard him ask in an unbelievably sincere tone –

“Why do you want to be euphemistic?”

“……”

Bai Duanduan simply lost her temper, “Whatever the case is, we’re still in the same line of industry so we’re inevitably going to cross paths again. Moreover, we live right next to each other. Can’t you at least try to maintain a good network? In this modern society, the more friends you have the more options you have in life. Who knows? In the future, you might….”

“No.” Ji Lin confusedly interrupted Bai Duanduan, he carefully sized up Bai Duanduan, “You think you can be my connections? What gave you the courage?”

????

“You think you can be my liaison?” Ji Lin said word for word, “Do you think I will need …… to ask for your help in the future if something happens?”

“……”

Ji Lin smiled, not caring at all about Bai Duanduan’ almost distorted expression and said blandly, “Unfortunately, you are not up to the standard of being my people to maintain.”

“……”

Bai Duanduan is not very convinced. Even if she is willing to bow down this time, she can at least work harder…

“I am a very direct person. I don’t like hypocrisy, and I won’t say any more to you. Come on, work harder, and you can become the standard of the network I want to maintain.”

“……”

Ji Lin, however, felt as if these words were not enough of an indebtedness. He reluctantly stretched out his hand and gestured the height gap between them as he traced out the distance equal to his own height, “You’re still that far off from the standard of my connections. You shouldn’t have a hope in hell.”

He smiled and added, “So why should I be euphemistic?”

In this instant, the flame in Bai Duanduan’ heart was ignited again. It was wrong to hit someone and break the law, but this kind of behaviour from Ji Lin, was it really not provocation? At least it’s against the Public Security law, right? The first person to provoke was a b!tch, and Bai Duanduan felt that if she hit him now, she really shouldn’t be considered breaking the law.

Bai Duanduan also admitted that Ji Lin’s words were reasonable. However, when she thought of her own father, she could not help but sympathize with the vulnerable employees. Xu Zhixin was compelled to get carried away, but in the end, he will be duly punished as he should be. While in the case of Chen Jia Nan, Bai Duanduan went through Chen Jia Nan’s resume, she was really very good. She had studied medicine for seven years, and Ji Lin’s complaint will be the end of her career ……

But unfortunately, Ji Lin was not moved at all, no matter how Bai Duanduan pleaded, he did not even care about her.
