Look at the date on the recruitment announcement. Today and tomorrow are only preliminary screening to check whether the candidates meet the basic conditions. The written examination will be conducted three days later, followed by preliminary interview, final interview, physical examination and safety review.
Keep the date of the written examination in mind. After breakfast, song TIANYAO took out 20000 Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and asked the hotel to help change them into 500 yuan and 1000 yuan denominations. It seems that the thickness has increased a lot. He didn''t go to Likang firm to take a shift, but stopped a rickshaw from the hotel: "tell Rochester building on Pedder street, central."
Gloucester building is a commercial building. The former Hong Kong Hotel was once the highest landmark in Hong Kong. Now it is the location of the Hong Kong Branch of many international companies. Of course, in addition to various foreign firms, there are also many law firms in this building. Song TIANYAO came here to see lawyers, and he is a foreign lawyer.
In Hong Kong, everything in business is inseparable from lawyers. However, Likang does not contact the law firm itself, but shares a Chaozhou law firm with Chu Xiaozhong''s Liheng company, which provides professional legal services.
Song TIANYAO has no problem with using Chaozhou fellow lawyers, but obviously, Likang is not in a hurry to find a reliable and loyal lawyer to help stare at the company''s various business contracts. At this time, Likang needs the contacts of the ghost lawyer. It doesn''t matter if the lawyer can''t remember a Hong Kong law. As long as he has contacts, or take a step back, As long as he''s a white Englishman, it''s okay.
Standing in the lobby of the building to check the distribution map of various companies and firms, song TIANYAO began to look for the target. Instead of going in and communicating with law firms one by one, he just needs to stand outside the law firm and scan the nameplate. For those with Chinese names, such as Du XX law firm, Zhou XX law firm or Danxin law firm, Chaosheng, Guanfeng is a very Chinese name at first sight. Song TIANYAO won''t even stop, because the name has shown that lawyers are Chinese.
It''s not a large foreign law firm that can stop him. If you go in and want this kind of lawyer with a wide range of affairs to help pull the strings, it''s estimated that it will be arranged until next year. Moreover, maybe the ghost lawyer will not look at Likang and refuse directly with a cold face or the lion opens his mouth to scare himself away.
More than 60 law firms looked at more than 40. Finally, one nameplate was engraved with the words "lawyer" in English, but the words "Anzu Peres lawyer" in Chinese. Only one law firm in the office stopped song TIANYAO''s interest.
Looking at the English rent reminder posted on the door by a British Hong Kong real estate company, song TIANYAO nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Please come in." a female voice inside responded in English.
Song TIANYAO frowned on his satisfied face. Anzu peiruisi, such a masculine name, is actually a woman?
However, since there was a response inside, song TIANYAO couldn''t turn around and leave immediately, so he pushed the door and came in. Behind the desk, a white woman with black framed glasses and a black uniform dress, no more than 25 years old, was raising her head from behind the desk and smiling at Song TIANYAO who came in.
This office may be luxurious for many ordinary people, but in Song TIANYAO''s eyes, it is simply shabby. It doesn''t look like a place where lawyers practicing in Hong Kong should work. It is obviously a shelf for decoration. There are all kinds of English books neatly placed in it, but there is a thin layer of dust on the bookcase, which has obviously not been turned over for a long time, The most important thing is that although the above books are in English, many of them have nothing to do with the law. On the contrary, song TIANYAO was surprised by one book, Mrs. Chatterley''s lover. Unexpectedly, this Anzu lawyer was in a good mood.
A desk is stacked with documents. It looks like things are cumbersome, but song TIANYAO sees this kind of camouflage. He stacks English newspapers and documents to increase the thickness. Either the other party is free, or the other party is just stacked together, which makes people feel that she is very busy now. For example, at this time, the female lawyer writes and draws on her notebook, He looked at himself with a smile.
Song TIANYAO sat on the chair opposite the desk. The female lawyer stopped writing properly, raised her head and spoke in some stiff Cantonese: "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"I know English, and we have no problem communicating in English." song TIANYAO smiled and said to the female lawyer, "do you have any other British male lawyers in your law firm?"
"I think providing legal advice has nothing to do with the lawyer''s gender. What do you think, sir? I''m Anzu Peres, the practicing lawyer of this firm." the female lawyer heard that song TIANYAO seemed to discriminate against women in her tone, leaned back slightly and stared into song TIANYAO''s eyes.
"Anzu Peres, Anzu Peres." song TIANYAO read the English pronunciation of the name twice in his heart, and then realized that a woman should actually be called Angie Peres. It was only when Hong Kong transliterated in Cantonese that he came up with the name Anzu Peres, which followed the virtue of Michael Jordan I translated into Michael Jordan in Hong Kong.
"Let''s put it this way, Ms. Perez. I don''t think women can help me solve my current small problems. I don''t discriminate against women, but the nature of work is somewhat special. In fact, everything you do meets the conditions in my mind, such as your lawyer status, and your need for money to pay rent and use sandwiches for three meals. It''s very qualified. The only disadvantage is you It''s a woman. I guess you don''t have any male assistants, so goodbye and have a nice day. "Song TIANYAO smiled goodbye to the fake female lawyer and stood up disappointed to leave.
"Do you know what lawyer means?" the female lawyer asked in the back with some embarrassment.
"At least I know that''s not the meaning of a solicitor. This word is used to call a legal worker in general. I guess you must have come to Hong Kong to drill legal loopholes to extend your qualification as an intern because you don''t have a British local license or an internship in a barrister''s firm." song TIANYAO told her.
In his last life, when he was doing international business with his partners, he had the experience of being fooled because he could not understand the terms of these professional titles of British lawyers, including barristers, senior lawyers, senior lawyers, service lawyers, assistant lawyers, trainee lawyers and legal workers.
Strictly speaking, the woman in front of her can only be regarded as a legal worker or a trainee lawyer without a lawyer''s license. From the time she saw the nameplate outside, song TIANYAO knew that the lawyer Anzu Peres inside was just a liar who came to Hong Kong from Britain to cheat Chinese money.
"You know my qualifications, but you still knock on the door." the woman stood up behind her desk, looked at Song TIANYAO''s back and said, "you don''t need a lawyer, you need a lawyer."
The woman hesitated for a few seconds before she said the last word:
"Interest broker, I can do it."
Hearing the last word, song TIANYAO turned and looked at the woman with sharp eyes: "If you can let me have dinner with the British officials of the trade and Industry Department in two days, these ten thousand yuan are yours. Do you know how much this Gloucester building is worth? Less than three million Hong Kong dollars, you can introduce British people to me three hundred times. If I pay you ten thousand yuan each time, the money will be enough for you to buy the building! You don''t have to worry about being rent collected any more, but you can follow suit If you want to increase the rent of others, you can increase it as much as you want! "
As he spoke, song TIANYAO took out a thick stack of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and patted it gently in his hand: "I have a lot of money, but the opportunity is only given to you once. Cherish the opportunity, poor British."
Song TIANYAO''s tone was crazy, but his heart couldn''t help but praise him. He immediately guessed what kind of person he needed from his words. This ghost woman''s brain reaction was absolutely fast enough!
"You''re humiliating me." the woman frowned, tried to take her eyes away from the stack of banknotes in Song TIANYAO''s hand, looked at Song TIANYAO''s expression discontentedly and said.
Song TIANYAO smiled: "I am not humiliating Britain or the poor, but this is Hong Kong. There are many British people, but the British poor are very rare."
Angie pelice''s mouth moved, but there was no sound. It took more than ten seconds before she repeated her previous sentence: "I can do it."
She came to Hong Kong from London three months ago. Originally, after graduating from London law school, she joined her mentor''s law firm and began her internship career. As long as the internship period of half a year is over, she can get a real lawyer''s practice photo and become a matter lawyer. However, in a moment of negligence, when the mentor asked her to deal with a business contract, she happened to be with her boyfriend The quarrel broke up, so no loopholes in the contract were found, which led to the loss of 70000 pounds for the customer of the business contract and the loss of the tutor''s law firm. The tutor kicked her out of the law firm and suspended her lawyer career. However, if she could not get the internship report and the signature and approval of a senior lawyer, she would not be able to work After receiving a lawyer''s license, seeing that the term of local internship was coming to an end, and other law firms refused to accept her, Angie pelis had no choice but to exploit the loopholes of local law and came to Hong Kong. She originally thought that Hong Kong people had a lot of stupid money and could cheat Chinese people''s money, but she didn''t expect that there were already lawyers everywhere in Hong Kong. Chinese businessmen trusted Chinese lawyers more and British firms wouldn''t take advantage of them Even for a lawyer without a license, even those British law firms do not hire her as a rookie whose internship period has not ended. Even if they just want to go to a senior law firm for internship, because the senior lawyer is not their own mentor, she needs to pay 5000 pounds to arrange her internship, and will not pay a commission during the internship period.
After her miserable experience in Hong Kong, Angie pelis has even decided that after the rent expires this month, she is going to use her poor savings to buy a boat ticket and try her luck in other British colonies to find opportunities. Unexpectedly, three days before the rent expires, she met song TIANYAO, or a large pile of money, which made her life in Hong Kong appear again Hope.
"If you want to persuade me, I will take the money." Seeing Angie pelis standing up, song TIANYAO nodded with satisfaction. She was dressed in a uniform, skirt and a pair of black frame glasses. This woman looks good. She may not be a pure blood Saxon race. She is more or less mixed with Celtic or Spanish descent. Her face does not have a few freckles like those British women, nor is it as soft as the appearance of British women On the contrary, it is more deep and three-dimensional, and has long black hair with dark red.
"I know that the wives of many officials have set up paper companies, and I know which lawyers they let to help them with their business. Male lawyers in several law firms have always wanted to invite me to dinner. I can get the information of the wives of officials of the Administration for Industry and commerce, and then visit them. It is more suitable for women to visit women than men to visit women. If you want to send some gifts to show kindness, give them to me The official''s wife also made him feel more secure than giving it to him. "Angie pelis tried to adjust her mind and told song TIANYAO what she could think of the fastest.
Even several married male lawyers from other firms in the building have been trying to ask her out.
However, song TIANYAO didn''t seem to listen to her plan. Instead, he looked at the office and fixed his eyes on a shoebox next to the green plants in the corner: "where do you live at night?"
"Hong Kong Caritas Methodist savior church, I said I was a Methodist admirer, so the church allowed me to live there." Angie Lopez seemed more embarrassed than song TIANYAO found out that she had no lawyer qualification before, and bowed her head in shame.
Caritas Methodist Savior''s church is in central, close to Gloucester building. It is an English Church. No wonder this woman put a pair of shoes in her office, which is estimated to be flat shoes, which are specially used to walk in the morning and evening. When she arrives at the office, she will change into high heels at this time.
"I''ll take you to have lunch, and then go to the opening room of Doris hotel for a long time. What do you think? If you see those officials'' wives, you can''t say you live in a humble church dormitory." song TIANYAO withdrew his eyes and said to the woman who seemed to blame herself for blasphemy at this time: "Don''t blame yourself. Just take it as God''s help when you are down. If you are really embarrassed, I can donate your money to Caritas savior hall in your name."
"No, I''d better come by myself." Angie pelice immediately raised her head and simply rejected the other party''s proposal when she heard song TIANYAO''s last sentence: "I''ll leave my old clothes to those who need help, but it''s better for me to distribute the money myself."
Seeing that the woman walked out from behind the desk without hesitation, picked up her handbag and sun visor, and was ready to go out with herself, song TIANYAO''s mouth tilted slightly:
"You don''t seem to ask me my name or what business I do, lawyer Palis."
After wearing the visor on her head, Angie pelis responded with a smiling face to song TIANYAO: "is that important, sir?"
Song TIANYAO and the woman walked out of the office door, took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the building. Seeing song TIANYAO stop two rickshaws, Angie pelis also tilted her mouth: "it seems that someone is actually the same as me, just pretending. The difference is that I use the office and someone uses the money in their pocket."
"No, if I want to pretend, I will really drive a car out. On the contrary, I don''t need to spend that money on you. You don''t need it, but you''re right. I just want to make more money like you. Coachman, trouble, dulisch hotel." Song TIANYAO leaned comfortably on the car, took out a cigarette and lit it. He smiled and looked at Anji Palis in the car next to him.
