Chapter 129 Zhou Wang’s Chips

The group of people coming out of Professor Wang’s house all had a strong scholarly air about them. It was unknown what kind of intellectuals they were. Wang Hongying accompanied them to the intersection before turning back.

Wang Hongying, who was wearing glasses and looked to be in her 40s or 50s, had short, neat hair. She looked pretty much the same as Zhou Wang remembered, although Zhou Wang had only attended a few of her classes…

“Jiang Mo, are you here?”

Facing Jiang Mo and Jiang Qingkui who came up to greet her, Wang Hongying, who had turned back, first smiled and nodded at Jiang Mo who had contacted her in advance, and then looked at Jiang Qingkui who was putting his hands in his pockets, with a very friendly expression.

“Qingkui, how long have you been back home? Have you met your teacher first?”

Facing Wang Hongying, Jiang Qingkui’s expression was no longer so cold and he showed some smile.

“Well, when I came back, I went to Beidu first and stayed with my teacher for several days…”

“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back… Stop standing there, let’s go into the house first. Xiaohu, quickly tell your sister to make some tea and tell her not to stay in the room. Qingkui has seen this before.”

Wang Hongying instructed her son while letting everyone into the house.

When they arrived at the living room, Wang Hongying glanced at Zhou Wang and Tang Mao, adjusted her glasses and smiled.

“Hey, have you all brought your boyfriends here?”

Jiang Mo did not respond, but subconsciously glanced at Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang walked forward with a smile and bowed slightly.

“Professor Wang, I’m Jiang Mo’s boyfriend Zhou Wang. You may not remember me, but I’m also a student at Caida University. I just graduated this year and I’ve taken your elective class before!”

After Zhou Wang finished speaking, he suddenly heard a system prompt.

Ding!
[The spiritual desire of the bound object Jiang Mo has been satisfied, and the desire consumption money has been issued]

Zhou Wang glanced at Jiang Mo in surprise, but the senior sister still had no obvious expression, only the corners of her mouth seemed to be curled up.

He glanced at the phone in his hand. Damn, 188 million, are you serious?

“Oh, who is your class teacher?”

Zhou Wang was still smacking his lips when Wang Hongying asked with interest.

After Zhou Wang answered, Wang Hongying chatted with Zhou Wang for a few more words, then nodded and said nothing more.

In fact, she was just being polite. After all, no matter how outstanding an undergraduate was, she would not pay much attention to him. Besides, Wang Hongying had no impression of Zhou Wang’s name, which only meant that he was probably not among the “outstanding” ones…

At this time, Jiang Qingkui, who finally found an opportunity to interrupt, also introduced Tang Mao.

“Professor Wang, this is Tang Mao, a local friend introduced to me by a classmate. I haven’t been back for many years and was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find the way, so he came with me today. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Hello, Professor Wang.”

Tang Mao was obviously not very good at dealing with people like Wang Hongying, and Zhou Wang, who had an awkward smile on his face, couldn’t stand it anymore.

“You are a guest here, please take a seat…”

Wang Hongying greeted him with a smile and without any airs. Her personality seemed to be exactly as Ding Yi described.

“Qingkui, this is the first time you and Jiang Mo meet, right? Let me introduce them to you.”

When Jiang Mo heard that Jiang Qingkui was not only a Harvard returnee PhD, but also a former top scorer in the college entrance examination, even with her personality, she couldn’t help but reveal some surprise.

“Senior Sister Qingkui, hello, I’m Jiang Mo.”

“Junior Sister Jiang, you are very beautiful. You should let my prejudiced foreign classmates see you, and then they will know what a real oriental beauty looks like…”

“Sister Qingkui, you are also very beautiful…”

While the reserved Jiang Mo and the faintly smiling Jiang Qingkui were bragging about their business, Zhou Wang also figured out the relationship between Jiang Qingkui and Wang Hongying.

Probably, Jiang Qingkui’s Peking University tutor during his undergraduate and master’s studies was Wang Hongying’s senior classmate, so Wang Hongying was Jiang Qingkui’s senior uncle or something…

However, Zhou Wang could sense that Wang Hongying was also doubtful about Jiang Qingkui’s sudden visit.

Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Wang Hongying took the initiative to ask, “Qingkui, what are your plans for returning to China this time? I heard from Lao Gao that their law firm also sent you an offer, and you can choose any city, but you seem to have rejected it?”

Seeing Wang Hongying bringing up the topic, Jiang Qingkui glanced at Jiang Mo and Zhou Wang with some hesitation, but in the end he did not shy away from saying anything, and said seriously:
“Teacher Wang, I do have something I would like to ask you for help.”

“Qingkui, just say it. Don’t be polite to me.”

Wang Hongying smiled and waved her hand.

“I also heard from the teacher that you manage a startup fund, right?”

“Yes, it was initiated by a former student of mine who became successful in his career. It aims to help some younger generations with ideas, but it can’t be called management. I just help coordinate… Hey, why are you asking this? Do you want to start your own law firm?”

Wang Hongying suddenly realized something was wrong as she spoke, and she looked at Jiang Qingkui in surprise.

With her wisdom, as soon as Jiang Qingkui opened her mouth, she already knew why the other party came.

Jiang Qingkui nodded and said, “I do have the idea of ​​starting my own business, but not a law firm.”

“What else can we do? Set up a legal education institution? Or do academic research?” Wang Hongying asked puzzledly.

“neither……”

Jiang Qingkui seemed to find it difficult to speak, but she finally said, “I want to do something else, and the industry I’m targeting now is the trade sector.”

“what?”

Wang Hongying thought she had misheard, and after confirming with Jiang Qingkui, she put away her smile for the first time.

“Qingkui, you are kidding me, aren’t you? You got your doctorate from Harvard Law School. You know better than me how valuable it is. I didn’t blame you for returning to China rashly, but now you tell me that you want to give up your previous major and start a business in another industry from scratch?”

Wang Hongying asked in confusion.

“Teacher Wang, it is because I have studied law for so many years that I want to do something else.”

Jiang Qingkui explained calmly, “I can’t get used to the food abroad, and I can’t sleep well. When I went abroad, I told my teacher that I would come back.”

“Qingkui, if you are worried about the differences in the legal systems at home and abroad, this is not a problem at all. Foreign-related lawsuits are also very popular now. With your ability, it should be easy for you to get the licenses of both countries, right?”

Wang Hongying frowned. “Well, even if you don’t want to be a lawyer, how about teaching? There are many options for you, right?”

“My alma mater and Hong Kong City University did offer me a job, but… I rejected them both.”

Jiang Qingkui was silent for a moment, facing Wang Hongying’s incredulous gaze, “Teacher Wang, I’m just simply tired, can you understand?”

“you……”

Wang Hongying, who seemed to be very angry with Jiang Qingkui, took a few deep breaths and said, “No wonder your teacher called me before and asked me to give you a chance to persuade you. Qingkui, some things cannot be decided rashly…”

“Teacher Wang, this is not a sudden idea. I have had this idea for a long time. In the past few years abroad, I not only completed my doctorate in law, but also obtained bachelor’s degrees in business management, e-commerce and accounting.”

Jiang Qingkui said softly.

Seeing Jiang Qingkui’s firm attitude, Wang Hongying felt helpless, “Even so, you still think some things are too simple…”

At this time, Wang Hongying’s daughter came over to serve tea, temporarily interrupting their conversation.

Zhou Wang was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that this neighbor Qingkui sister would come back to China with such an idea…

Start a business?

Zhou Wang, who had learned a profound lesson in this regard, could only shake his head.

In fact, he felt that what Professor Wang said was absolutely right. As a highly educated person in the legal field, you already have a starting point that countless people can only look up to. If you don’t give full play to your advantages and instead want to mess around in other industries, you are somewhat sick.

This once again verified Zhou Wang’s theory.

Tsk, but her idea is quite consistent with her online name.

The one she wanted to kill was herself, the robin…

Zhou Wang shook his head and glanced at Wang Hongying’s daughter. Well, after removing the beauty filter, there was a big difference between her real self and her video on Tik Tok. But it was not a big problem. Her singing videos were still very interesting.

Wang Hongying’s daughter seemed absent-minded for some reason. She put down her tea, said hello and wanted to run away.

“What’s wrong with you, kid? Why don’t you sit down and talk to your sister Qingkui?” Wang Hongying called her in dissatisfaction.

“Oh, Mom, I have something to do right now, something important, something serious!”

Gao Xiaoyin’s eyebrows were still a little excited, and he smiled mysteriously at Wang Hongying, “I’ll talk to you later, you go greet the sisters first!”

Gao Xiaoyin ran away after he finished speaking. Wang Hongying could only shake her head helplessly, “This kid…”

Wang Hongying spoke to Jiang Qingkui again: “Qingkui, let’s talk about this later. The venture capital fund is not as simple as you think. Moreover, in principle, the fund only provides assistance to those who are interested in working in the legal industry…”

Hearing that Wang Hongying had actually revealed some words of rejection, Jiang Qingkui’s eyes dimmed, but she didn’t know what to say, so she could only nod.

At this time, Wang Hongying turned to Jiang Mo who was standing beside her.

“Jiang Mo, what do you want to talk to me about today?”

“Professor Wang, Jiang Mo might be a little embarrassed. Let me speak for her.”

Zhou Wang took the initiative to take over the conversation.

Wang Hongying was surprised and nodded thoughtfully.

“It’s like this, Jiang Mo’s father is in some trouble right now, and you are an expert in this area, so she wants you to give her some advice…”

Zhou Wang spoke tactfully while observing Wang Hongying’s expression.

“I know what it is.”

Sure enough, Wang Hongying, who didn’t show much expression, waved her hand halfway through listening, stopping Zhou Wang from continuing.

At this moment, Zhou Wang also confirmed his vague guess.

Yes, Wang Hongying really knew what happened in Jiang Mo’s family a long time ago.

Most students may not be able to associate this aspect if they don’t pay special attention, but Wang Hongying is different.

Because Jiang Mo was her student, it meant that she would definitely have access to Jiang Mo’s personal files. In addition, the Jiang Yunfei case was such a big deal at the time. As an expert in the legal field, it was impossible for Wang Hongying not to have paid attention to this case…

Maybe Jiang Mo herself had some feelings, so she couldn’t speak up. Wang Hongying knew it a long time ago, but she never mentioned it to Jiang Mo. This, to a certain extent, represented an attitude…

The reason is not important. Zhou Wang was glad that he had come to the right place today. Jiang Mo probably wouldn’t be able to handle it on his own, and adding a little effort from him might not necessarily have any real effect, but at least the hope was much greater.

“Jiang Mo, actually I’ve been looking for a chance to talk to you lately.”

Facing Jiang Mo’s expectant gaze, Wang Hongying carefully said, “Your father’s matter…is difficult.”

As soon as Wang Hongying opened her mouth, Jiang Mo’s expression darkened.

“I can ask someone about this later. If there’s anything I can do, I’ll help. But you can’t hold out too much hope. Do you understand?”

Wang Hongying said it obscurely, but her meaning was actually very clear.

Jiang Mo’s real request was to let Wang Hongying take over the lawsuit personally.

Although Wang Hongying is a professor at Caida University, she is also a famous criminal lawyer, but there are very few cases that can call on her to take action.

From Wang Hongying’s own perspective, it is normal for her to have concerns.

The impact of such a case is very bad and it is almost impossible to overturn the verdict. She also has to consider whether taking on such a case will tarnish her reputation.

For intellectuals, fame is sometimes more important than profit…

“I understand, Professor.”

Jiang Mo nodded woodenly.

Zhou Wang did not say much, not because there were outsiders present at the moment, but mainly because the bargaining chips he put on display were not just words. On the contrary, he and Jiang Mo were not suitable to be present.

Therefore, after Professor Wang expressed his opinion, Zhou Wang gently pulled Jiang Mo and stood up.

“Then Professor Wang, we won’t bother you anymore. This is my first visit today and I don’t know what to give you. Jiang Mo said you like to drink tea. This is the tea we picked out at a tobacco and liquor store. We’re giving it to you as a gift. Please accept it.”

As Zhou Wang spoke, he picked up the gift bag at his feet and handed it to the table.

Wang Hongying originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that it was just a casual purchase at the tobacco and liquor store and it shouldn’t be something too expensive, she smiled and nodded.

“Okay, thank you. It’s really unfortunate today, so I won’t keep you here. Zhou Wang, remember to come to my house with Jiang Mo to eat next time and try my cooking.”

After saying goodbye, Wang Hongying asked Gao Xiaohu to see them off.

……

After a while, Gao Xiaohu came back, but there was another person behind him.

“Hey, Lao Gao, are you off work so early today?”

Wang Hongying was a little surprised to see Gao Zhenbang walking in in a neatly dressed suit.

“Yeah, I was just doing the property registration nearby. I heard Qingkui was coming today, so I came back directly after get off work… Fortunately, I made it in time. I have to have a good chat with Qingkui.”

Gao Zhenbang took off his coat and hung it at the door, then walked over with a smile.

“Uncle Gao!”

Jiang Qingkui stood up helplessly and motioned Tang Mao to greet her together.

Seeing Zhou Wang and Jiang Mo leave, she wanted to follow them, knowing that she might not gain anything today. But Gao Zhenbang came back at this time…

Needless to say, Gao Zhenbang would definitely persuade her to join the law firm.

But there was no other way at this time, Jiang Qingkui could only sit down again.

“Dad, you’re back!”

Hearing the noise, Gao Xiaoyin also ran out of the room and said with a smile, “I’ll make you some tea!”

“Wait a minute… Is this the tea that Qingkui sent? I’m tired of the old tea that Xiaoding sent me before, so I’ll try this one.”

Gao Zhenbang saw the cowhide gift bag with no logo on it on the table and couldn’t help but pick it up with a smile.

“It was given by Jiang Mo and her boyfriend. This kid is so polite now… Did you meet them just now?”

“I met her and said hello. Her boyfriend is quite handsome and has a good temperament. I don’t know why, but he looks familiar to me…”

Gao Zhenbang said with a smile, casually opened the gift bag, and then was stunned.

Gao Zhenbang’s expression became more serious and he took out two cakes of tea packed in a black and white gift box.

It is said that Professor Wang Hongying loves drinking tea, but in fact he is the one who truly understands tea. It is also because of his influence that Wang Hongying gives the impression to outsiders that they start to like drinking tea.

At this moment, Gao Zhenbang was surprised when he saw the words “Iceland Old Village” on the gift box. After he took a closer look, Gao Zhenbang couldn’t help but frowning.

“No. 50, Iceland Old Village? This…”

“What’s wrong, Lao Gao?”

Wang Hongying realized something was wrong from her husband’s expression and asked, “Is this tea… rare?”

“It’s not rare. After all, you can buy it if you have money. It’s just… a little too expensive.”

Gao Zhenbang smiled bitterly and said, “If I remember correctly, this 999-gram cake might cost more than …”

“Dad, Mom, isn’t there a price here?”

At this time, Gao Xiaohu, out of curiosity, flipped through the gift bag and pulled out the tea collection certificate and invoice from it, and then exclaimed: “Wow, one cake costs 166,000!”

“How many?”

Wang Hongying didn’t care about her son’s swearing anymore, she took the invoice from Gao Xiaohu and took a closer look, it was indeed…

The total price of these two cakes of tea is more than 330,000…

And to prove that it is not a fake, the collection certificate issued by the Pu’er Tea Industry Association is also there!
“Hongying, did you agree to let Jiang Mo represent her father in the second trial?”

Such an expensive gift made Gao Zhenbang subconsciously think of this possibility, and he asked solemnly.

“No, Jiang Mo and I have made it clear that this case is difficult…”

Wang Hongying was also a little confused, then smiled bitterly, “I heard them say that they bought the tea at the tobacco and alcohol store, so I accepted it. I didn’t expect it to be so expensive. Jiang Mo gave me skin care products worth tens of thousands on my birthday last time, and now he’s doing this again…”

“Hey, is there something in there?”

At this time, Gao Xiaohu seemed to have found something in the gift bag again.

Gao Zhenbang and his wife were so nervous that they didn’t care about Jiang Qingkui and Tang Mao. They hurried over and saw Gao Xiaohu taking out two things that were pressed underneath.

The first thing I saw was a check from a local city commercial bank. The name on the check was already filled in, but the amount was blank.

In addition to the check, there is also something we can call a “business card”.

In addition to Zhou Wang’s name and phone number, there was a line of words written on the back:

“Professor Wang, please forgive me for expressing my sincerity in this way. Even if you disagree with my efforts in the end, you don’t have to feel any psychological burden. If you change your mind after consideration, this check will be your attorney’s fee.”

After reading it, Wang Hongying fell silent.

The boy named Zhou Wang’s intention was very clear. As long as she agreed, she could charge any lawyer fee she wanted…

“Shit, so he really has a Ferrari?”

Gao Xiaohu started shouting again.

Everyone else was a little confused, not knowing what this had to do with Ferrari. Only Tang Mao’s face turned ugly.

He was too embarrassed to walk over, so he didn’t see the check or the business card, but the two boxes of tea worth more than 300,000 yuan were enough to show Zhou Wang’s financial strength…

Jiang Qingkui didn’t have such concerns, but after reading the contents of the business card out of curiosity, she couldn’t help but wonder, why did the name Zhou Wang sound more and more familiar to her?
But she really couldn’t remember where she had heard this name…

At this time, it was Lawyer Gao Zhenbang who mentioned the name “Zhou Wang” and his expression suddenly changed.

But before she could say anything, Gao Xiaoyin next to her exclaimed “Ah” and snatched the business card.

“Zhou Wang, could he be the Mr. Zhou?”

“Xiaoyin, what are you talking about, Mr. Zhou?”

Wang Hongying raised her head.

“Mom, this is the good news I wanted to share with you just now… I don’t know if you have heard of Wuyou Media, it is the number one MCN company in the industry!”

Gao Xiaoyin couldn’t hide his excitement and said, “Just a while ago, the agent of Wuyou Media contacted me and said that he would offer me an A-level contract…”

“Emm, mom and dad, you may not understand, Wuyou Media has several types of contracts, and the A-level contract has the highest salary. Many big internet celebrities with millions of fans may not be able to sign this contract. The bundled resources included in it are worth at least millions of dollars if measured in money!”

“Anyway, if I agree to sign this contract, your daughter will definitely be famous!”

“Then what does this have to do with Zhou Wang?” Wang Hongying digested it for a while before asking in confusion.

“The agent who contacted me said that this was personally ordered by the company’s shareholder Mr. Zhou. The agent also tried to find out about my relationship with Mr. Zhou. I was confused at the time…”

“So, Zhou Wang is the shareholder of this big media company you mentioned?”

Wang Hongying finally couldn’t keep calm anymore.

“Wuyou Media, it really hits the mark…”

What Wang Hongying didn’t expect was that Gao Zhenbang suddenly sat down next to her after muttering to himself, and said to her with a serious face:

“Hongying, I know that we have agreed not to interfere with each other’s work, but if possible, I still hope that you will consider it carefully. If you can take it, please take this case…”
