Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 125 - 120: New Skill! ‘Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart!’

"Hmm...."

Yang Ruoxi felt as if she was electrified, and in an instant, her body went soft, letting out a slight whimper.

When she came back to her senses, she found herself making eye contact with Xu Liang, her face instantly turning pink, her ears seemingly ready to drip blood.

She mumbled incoherently, lowering her head:

"I..."

"I'm a bit sensitive there..."

"Really?"

Xu Liang was a bit suspicious.

Yang Ruoxi fell silent, grabbing a nearby cushion and hugging it to her chest, burying her thoroughly flushed face into it.

She felt she couldn't face anyone anymore.

She'd resign soon.

No...

She'd leave Hanhai City!!!

Xu Liang didn't press further, continuing to clean up.

To be honest,

Xiaoyang's feet were indeed the prettiest Xu Liang had ever seen!

Of course.

Xu Liang wasn't a foot fetishist.

After finishing up the cleaning,

Xu Liang dressed the wound and stood up, speaking with reluctance:

"Be careful with the wound while washing the next few days."

"Oh..."

Yang Ruoxi quickly pulled her foot back, curling up in the corner of the sofa, hugging her leg, her gaze lifting up towards Xu Liang.

As she noticed Xu Liang's gaze, she suddenly looked away again.

Xu Liang didn't notice her small movements.

He was just collecting his thoughts, looking around.

There were many vacant spots in the law firm, and even without tidying, it could accommodate over a dozen people for contract discussions and office work.

Originally, these spots were vacant because there was no money to hire people.

But now that there's money,

it's time to recruit!

However...

Not all recruits are good recruits!

Xu Liang wasn't biased against ordinary universities, but compared to regular schools, he preferred if his employees had higher academic qualifications.

It's not personal capability but simply because the better the school, the stronger these students' networks!

For instance,

A teacher from an ordinary school, even in the law department, might not stay in touch after graduation.

Because there's no emotional bond formed through an academic atmosphere, nor is there mutual value in forming connections.

It's different with top universities.

Mentorships are powerful!

Take medical students, for example.

Graduates from top universities, when facing difficult cases or unsure situations, can make one call to bring in a senior or a professor to handle it for free.

You should know, those professors or seniors might be experts at major provincial hospitals, hard to even get an appointment with!

So...

"Xiaoyang, which school do you think we should recruit new employees from?"

"It's the end of November now, timing wise, there should be a batch of students eager for internships."

Xu Liang was a bit unsure.

He turned to look at his assistant.

Yang Ruoxi was still curled up in the sofa corner, hugging the cushion, and upon seeing Xu Liang's gaze, quickly diverted her eyes.

"Hmm..."

She murmured quietly, not responding.

Xu Liang: ?

"What are you 'hmming' about?"

Xu Liang was a bit puzzled.

He was asking her about recruiting, and she responds with 'hmm'?

Moreover.....

What's up with her state?

He considered himself understanding of Yang Ruoxi, a straightforward and a bit sassy girl. Logically, if he asked her this...

The response should have been to ask him to settle her salary first!

"Should we recruit some top students?"

Xu Liang probed gently.

"Hmm..." Yang Ruoxi still quietly responded from the corner.

Xu Liang asked again:

"What about hiring some expensive lawyers?"

"Hmm..."

"Hiring costs deducted from your salary? I'll owe you a few months' pay first?" Xu Liang probed again.

"Hmm... hmm?"

Yang Ruoxi suddenly felt something was off, poking her head out from the cushion.

Upon noticing his gaze,

her face flushed red again, and she quickly hid her head.

Like a real ostrich!

"This is strange."

Xu Liang was a bit puzzled.

Why does she seem like a different person?

What stimuli did she encounter?

However, Xu Liang could tell it wasn't negative emotions, so he didn't overthink it.

Expanding the law firm was the top priority now!

After pondering for some time.

Finally...

"Relationships aren't needed for now, but capability is still important."

"The law firm has a high reputation; in fact, there's a lot of work available daily. In the short term, hiring someone competent to help gather funds is wise."

"Once it's big and strong enough, the relationships will naturally come as more people join."

Xu Liang spoke about his current plan.

The reason he doesn't focus on relationships now...

The connection between him and Xiaoyang is already strong enough!

His mentorship is powerful, estimating that after this event, his second senior's position could advance.

And Wu Chengjun...

Wu Chengjun even participated in the revision of laws. If Xu Liang were ever cornered, and the case happened to involve laws amended by Wu Chengjun,

he could shamelessly seek Wu Chengjun's interpretation of the necessary laws.

So.

"No, can't wait any longer, need to visit Upper City in a few days."

"If I wait until January to visit during the Spring Festival, I might miss the opportunity to meet people..."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Liang decided to bring the Upper City plan forward.

Upper City University has Wu Chengjun, who can help introduce people, trustworthy because he's familiar with them.

After all, the legal field has plenty of backstabbers, and he definitely doesn't want to hire a backstabbing traitor.

Thinking of this, Xu Liang looked up at Yang Ruoxi.

"What do you think?"

"Hmm..."

Ostrich Yang was still in the corner, responding with a sound.

Forget it.

Xu Liang was helpless.

Asking the other party in this state would be pointless.

He looked up at the time.

The time had already reached 16:32 in the afternoon.

"Let's go, leaving work early today, I'll take you home first."

Xu Liang stood up, removed the rolled-up sleeves, picked up her high heels, and said to Yang Ruoxi.

Upon hearing about leaving work.

Only then did Ostrich Yang reluctantly get up from the corner and put on the slippers Xu Liang gave her.

"Let's go," Xu Liang said.

Yang Ruoxi tiptoed and hopped towards the car parked outside.

Before long, she jumped into the car.

Xu Liang also closed the law firm's front door.

"Swish~!"

The roller shutter door was pulled down.

A moment later.

The car left the law firm, driving off into the distance.

...

Hanhai City.

Within Furong District.

Although Xu Liang had been with Yang Ruoxi for half a year, it was still his first time coming to her home.

She had always been the one to take him home; now that her foot was injured, this was the first time he was taking her home.

"Furong District? The housing prices here aren't cheap,"

Xu Liang looked at the single-family villa in front of him, showing a tongue-clicking expression, and glanced at Yang Ruoxi in the passenger seat.

"Little rich lady, huh."

"Hmm-hmm."

Yang Ruoxi hummed, wanted to say something, but recalling what happened earlier when she saw Xu Liang's face, she couldn't help but blush and lowered her head to hide her rosy face.

A moment later.

She suddenly opened her mouth to respond.

"Twenty years ago, my mom's home relocated, bought a few houses, and then relocated again. They ended up with money they couldn't spend, so they invested in some family estate, and later she married my dad who was just a court clerk at the time..."

This is... A resident relocated twice!?

Xu Liang's eye twitched.

Relocating twice, she was exceptionally lucky.

Father even rose from a court clerk all the way to the Supreme Court...

"Alright, I'll leave the car here."

Xu Liang stopped thinking about it, parked the car in a public spot, and left, not driving it into the garage.

"Remember to find the car here when you drive,"

Finished speaking, Xu Liang was about to leave.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoxi's heart stirred, she subconsciously said:

"Drive the car away; it's quite far from here to Hongfu District, walking back is a hassle."

"I'll take a taxi."

"A few days of good living and you forgot what it's like to be broke," Yang Ruoxi said. "Taking a taxi costs more money."

Xu Liang was stunned by the lecture.

Finally, he spoke:

"Then I'll... drive?"

He pointed at the car, then at himself.

This car isn't cheap, at least a few hundred thousand these days...

"Drive it away,"

Yang Ruoxi nodded.

Subsequently, she hopped away towards home, and when she reached the door, she suddenly turned to Xu Liang and said:

"Remember to come pick me up tomorrow."

"Got it," Xu Liang nodded.

Finished speaking.

Yang Ruoxi pushed the door open and jumped right in.

Seeing the person disappear, Xu Liang then sat back in the car.

He didn't drive off immediately.

Sitting in the car for a moment.

Xu Liang suddenly opened the briefcase beside him and took out a leather-bound book.

Looking at the leather book.

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then reached out and carefully opened it.

The next second... The previously unmoving third page was indeed opened by him.

[Code '20041030', Case 'Talent · Case!']

[Narrative 'Oil Extraction!']

[ (Blank) ]

[ (Unwritten) ]

[ Note: (This reimbursement shall not be less than 100,000 Eastern Country currency!) ]

"As expected, a case of this level, the leather book will include it..."

Xu Liang murmured.

Finished speaking, he stopped thinking and searched for a pen, pondering for a long time before starting to write.

"Sasha...."

The sound of writing echoed, and after a long pause, Xu Liang finally stopped writing.

[Name: Xu Liang]

(Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart: With it, your insight greatly increases, no one's thoughts can hide from your eyes, you can clearly see every subtle movement of the judge. Having it, you can become the top litigator in the legal field!)

"Sadly, I am not a litigator."

Xu Liang sensed his change, then put away the leather book.

"However, this skill is pretty good for observing teachers' micro-expressions, tricking them."

"Hmm-hmm, the old man's pension..."

"Hand it over, you!"

Xu Liang thought, his face showing a smile, and then he drove away.

Meanwhile.

In the single-family villa, the living room.

"Xiaoyang, stop looking, he's gone!"

Lying on the sofa watching the window, Yang Ruoxi was suddenly called back.

Hearing the sound.

Yang Ruoxi finally came to her senses, subconsciously scanned her surroundings.

Only then did she notice that, on the staircase, appeared a middle-aged woman in her forties who bore an eighty percent resemblance to her.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoxi suddenly felt a bit guilty.

"Mom, how long have you been standing there?"

Yang Jing approached while drinking water, glanced at her daughter, and said:

"Since you jumped back home to the sofa."

Yang Ruoxi was silent for a moment, and suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed and shy.

"Ah! Why are you like this!"

Yang Jing looked at her, amused, "Like what?"

Then the gaze moved to the window, where the car was originally parked.

"Xiaoyang."

"Who was the boy outside just now?"
