"This point must be noted in the agreement. Furthermore, if our loss is due to the student’s own reasons, I will definitely seek responsibility. I offer students employment; as long as they do their jobs properly, it is mutually beneficial. But if they have other ideas, I won’t just silently bear the loss because they have their own difficulties."
"I hope you can also make this clear to the school to see if they are willing to guarantee for the students. If they are willing, in case of any issues, I will directly interface with the school. If not, then I will pursue the individual’s responsibility," Lu Youxi said.
"Of course," Lawyer Sheng nodded and took notes, "These are definitely things that need to be discussed properly."
Lawyer Sheng noted while nodding.
She is indeed the CEO’s wife.
She does good, but she is not a saint.
Lawyer Sheng admired such people.
Who would have thought that Lu Youxi, young as she is, would be so clear-headed and articulate.
"Lawyer Sheng, I will also be signing a contract with the students who come to work for me, which is a safeguard for both parties. I wonder if you could also help with this?" Lu Youxi tentatively asked.
She felt a bit sheepish asking a big-time lawyer to make such a small contract.
"Ha ha ha, of course there’s no problem," to her surprise, Lawyer Sheng readily agreed.
"Today, I will get the contract ready for your review. If there are any modifications or additions needed, we can revise them then," Lawyer Sheng responded enthusiastically.
Lu Youxi was stunned.
Are all big-time lawyers this easygoing?
"Lawyer Sheng, I haven’t even asked yet—how do we calculate your legal fees?" Lu Youxi hoped inwardly that such a minor case would not cost much.
"Eh!" Lawyer Sheng chuckled and waved dismissively, "For something as minor as this, what fees?"
"How can that be?" Lu Youxi hurriedly said, "You came here in person, and you will draft the agreement for me, this..."
"What’s the big deal? I am free anyway," Lawyer Sheng said.
Lu Youxi: "..."
"I mean it, I just happened to be in the area for something else, and I took care of this while I was at it," Lawyer Sheng said, though Lu Youxi doubted the truth of this statement, "As for the contract you sign with your employees, I will have my assistant draft it, and I’ll review it later. It’s no trouble at all."
Lu Youxi knew that such minor issues didn’t require Lawyer Sheng to handle personally.
But that didn’t mean there shouldn’t be a fee.
"I’m close with Zhou..." Lawyer Sheng muttered an apology, "Xiao Zhou’s father was my senior in university."
Lawyer Sheng wasn’t lying about that, but at the time, he was more of a junior fan of Zhou Shuyan’s father, who didn’t even know he existed.
It was only after working hard and becoming a big-time lawyer that he really started to work for Zhou Shuyan’s father.
During casual conversation, he mentioned that he and Zhou Shuyan’s father graduated from Jing University, though several years apart.
"It’s not an ordinary relationship," Lawyer Sheng thought to himself that the fees for Lu Youxi’s side would certainly be billed to Zhou Shuyan’s account, "So there’s really no need to be polite with me."
Lu Youxi really did not want to take advantage of Lawyer Sheng, but since he did not mention it, she was at a loss.
She could only wait to ask Zhou Shuyan what to do when she returned home that evening.
When it was time for Lu Youxi to go to class, she left to attend, while Lawyer Sheng went to talk to the university authorities about the agreement.
Lu Youxi walked into the classroom with her textbooks, as usual.
But for some reason, she felt that something was amiss.
When she entered the room, the chatter seemed to pause for a few seconds before resuming.
Lu Youxi wondered if she was being overly sensitive.
"Youxi!" Lu Youxi heard Lu Xiaohui call out to her.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw her three roommates all sitting in the middle row.
There was a seat left empty between Lu Xiaohui and Xia Jinqiao, clearly for her.
Indeed, Xia Jinqiao pointed at the empty spot, "Here."
Her friends had come early to save her a seat.
Lu Youxi quickly sat down.
"Youxi, did you kiss your husband at the school gate this morning?" Lu Xiaohui suddenly asked.
Lu Youxi gasped, "You all know?"
No wonder she felt a pause in the chatter when she came in. It wasn’t her imagination.
But she remembered there weren’t many people at the school gate this morning!
How did the news spread so quickly?
Mo Yuchun nodded vigorously.
"A student saw it this morning," said Xia Jinqiao.
Lu Youxi almost choked on her own saliva, and sheepishly said, "But I remember there weren’t many people at the school gate this morning."
"Ah, it doesn’t matter how many people there were, if someone saw it, it was bound to spread," said Lu Xiaohui nonchalantly. Now the focus wasn’t on that, "According to the student who saw it firsthand, the way you two were kissing was rather..."
"Inseparable," Xia Jinqiao described.
"It was said to be like filming a romance drama," Mo Yuchun added.
"It makes sense, both of you look so good, it’s like a romance drama, isn’t it?" said Lu Xiaohui.
"And the sight made people’s faces flush," Xia Jinqiao covered her mouth and giggled.
Lu Youxi: "..."
Mo Yuchun pondered with interest, "What’s gotten into you two suddenly? It’s like you’re in the honeymoon phase."
Speaking of which, they hadn’t been like this before.
There never were such rumors.
Lu Youxi’s face grew hot, and she muttered, "Who knows why he..."
Just as Lu Youxi was about to be overwhelmed, luckily, the teacher entered and class began.

Zhou Shuyan drove Lawyer Sheng’s car to the company, then called Zhang Tianhai out, handing him the car keys, "You drive Lawyer Sheng’s car to Jing University, find a place to park it, and return the keys to Lawyer Sheng."
"This is Lawyer Sheng’s car?" Zhang Tianhai took the car keys somewhat confusedly, "How come you are driving Lawyer Sheng’s car?"
"I just dropped off my wife at Jing University and happened to run into Lawyer Sheng," Zhou Shuyan offered no further explanation but stressed the word "wife."
Zhang Tianhai: "..."
What’s going on between you and Miss Lu, others might not know, but Yu Zeqin and I are well aware of it. What are you pretending for?
But then, Zhang Tianhai caught the hidden implication, "You took the missus to school early this morning?"
Zhou Shuyan gave Zhang Tianhai an approving look. Those who could work with him for a long time were indeed talented.
"I stayed over at my mother-in-law’s last night." Zhou Shuyan patted the almost indiscernible crease on his chest, "My wife caught it this morning, it’s still a bit wrinkled."
Zhang Tianhai: "..."
What’s with this early morning boast, what kind of fit is he having?
Wasn’t it just a little wrinkle on your suit?
