Are You Crazy? He's only an Intern Lawyer?-Chapter 37 - Taking Silly Person Shopping for Clothes

“Shocking!

Procuratorate Headquarters faces historic defeat, with Xiao Baihe shedding tears in court.

Who exactly is this mysterious lawyer?”

…

Rumors, naturally, get more mysterious as they spread.

It’s all because the lawyer circle of Dongfang Capital has long feared the Procuratorate Headquarters.

So when they suddenly heard that the Procuratorate Headquarters had been defeated, naturally, they had to enjoy a good tease.

As a result, the versions circulating these days are getting more and more exaggerated, so much so that even the parties involved could only smile wryly and take it as a joke.

However, the Procuratorate Headquarters would not regard this trial as a mere joke, of course.

It’s said that the higher-ups held an urgent meeting overnight and issued many orders after the meeting.

One of these was to remove the scoreboards in all offices overnight and replace them with an internal scoring system.

Although the performance KPIs remained the same, at least there would be no paper-based evidence left behind.

Everything was digitalized, making it harder for leaks through photographs.

According to the grapevine, Guo Wufeng was personally summoned by the senior management of the Procuratorate Headquarters and was largely held responsible for this defeat.

Though a failure in court wouldn’t cause the head of an office to be dismissed, he still lost a significant amount of face in front of other department heads at the Procuratorate Headquarters.

Now everyone knows that their Minor Crimes Division was defeated by a lawyer, and moreover, by a rookie lawyer.

As a result, Guo Wufeng has been scowling at everyone, and from time to time, he would be heard muttering the words “Zhang Wei” through clenched teeth.

As for Tan Yingying, as a rookie prosecutor, even though she lost the trial and dishonored the Procuratorate Headquarters, they still showed a degree of leniency and did not over-criticize the newcomer.

This allowed Tan Yingying to breathe a sigh of relief, yet she still felt somewhat afraid.

She also knew that she had already lost once and definitely couldn’t afford a second failure, or how would she ever catch up to Xiao Baihe.

Sometimes, she would also pray in her mind.

As for what she prayed for…

It is said that colleagues passing by her sometimes heard her occasionally murmuring something like, “I don’t want to encounter Zhang Wei, I don’t want to encounter Zhang Wei.”

It is evident that the psychological trauma Zhang Wei had inflicted on her was just too shocking.

And Zhang Wei?

He’s currently… on the 41st floor of the United Financial Building.

Jessica’s Office.

Zhang Wei lay flat on the clean and tidy carpet, his head resting on Jessica’s plump and fair thighs, enjoying the service of her knee pillow.

His eyes were closed tight, a look of pleasure on his face, with occasional moans of “Mmm, ah” escaping his lips.

It turned out Jessica was using her slender, onion-white fingers to massage the acupoints on Zhang Wei’s head.

A first-rate doctor and a top-tier beauty offering premium service—it couldn’t get any better.

“Zhang Wei, how’s the effect of my fingertip massage?”

“Taking off~”

“Taking off?” Jessica paused, not understanding what he meant.

“It’s like being so comfortable I could fly!” Zhang Wei hurriedly explained, and Jessica continued.

“Right, Zhang Wei, I heard you won another lawsuit, and it was against the famous Procuratorate Headquarters of Dongfang Capital?”

“You heard about that?” Zhang Wei opened his eyes, looking surprised.

But as he did, a pair of ample breasts came into his view, capturing all his attention.

Jessica was dressed today in a beige women’s suit with matching wide-leg pants, exuding a professional aura, a true gem of the corporate world.

Since the office was warm enough, she had unbuttoned her suit jacket to reveal the white T-shirt underneath and the huge breasts that couldn’t be concealed no matter what.

This was also the reason why Zhang Wei liked to visit Jessica.

Just by looking, his mood was already getting a little excited.

“Young man, you’re still young, but remember, big-chested women are all an illusion,”

Zhang Wei quickly closed his eyes and reminded himself of this inwardly, which helped him suppress the restlessness in his heart.

Jessica, of course, didn’t notice anything unusual about Zhang Wei and just smiled gently, “It was Lawyer Yu Liang from next door at Southeast Airlines who told me.

He even said that he was initially assigned the case, but some whippersnapper beat him to it.

He mentioned that the kid’s name is Zhang Wei and got one step ahead.

Otherwise, it would have been him winning against the Procuratorate Headquarters.”

Zhang Wei almost forgot that Jessica’s office was next to Southeast Airlines, and Yu Liang had his office in the company next door.

“Did he really say that?”

He could never have imagined that Yu Liang would be so shameless and dare to say such a thing.

When that old boy heard his opponent was the Procuratorate Headquarters, wasn’t he scared out of his wits and ran away with his tail between his legs?

“Anyway, that’s what he told me, but I could tell he was just saving face.

In your Dragon Country terms, he was ‘swelling his face to make himself look fat!'”

As Jessica spoke, she giggled, clearly aware of what kind of person Yu Liang was.

He had no real skills yet loved to act tough, even pretending in front of her.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were all on the same floor and Jessica wanted to spare his face, she would have called him out on it directly.

“However, the fact that you could win against the Procuratorate Headquarters has raised my opinion of your abilities as a lawyer.

If I ever encounter any legal disputes, I will definitely hire you as my lawyer.”

“Sure, I’d be more than happy to!”

Zhang Wei readily agreed, as Jessica was a psychologist and wouldn’t likely have medical malpractice issues involving injuries or deaths.

Even if there was a problem, he, Zhang Wei, could handle it, considering he had dealt with quite a few medical dispute cases in his past life.

Time passed in the midst of their pleasant conversation.

Ding ding ding…

A notification sounded from Zhang Wei’s phone.

He opened it and saw a message from Xia Qianyue on WeChat.

Xia Qianyue: I’m on my way.

Where are you?

Zhang Wei: I’m in the city center “Location: United Financial Building”

Xia Qianyue: Got it, I’ll take the subway over.

It’ll take about 10 minutes.

Don’t forget to go clothes shopping with me!

Zhang Wei: OK (smile)

After putting down his phone, Zhang Wei saw beautiful blue eyes looking down at him.

“Girlfriend?”

“Yes, and no, I’m not sure how to define our relationship myself.”

“Do you like her?”

“Jessica, I didn’t come to you for relationship counseling, you don’t have to ask these questions, right?”

“Alright, professional habit, sorry…”

Jessica quickly apologized but then expressed a touch of regret, “It’s rare that someone comes to me seeking relationship advice; in fact, since moving to Dongfang Capital, no man has come to spill his heart over breakups or love affairs.”

“Isn’t that obvious?

Men come to you because you’re so attractive.

Why would they tell you they’ve been dumped?” Zhang Wei laughed.

You’re pretending not to know.

“Zhang, you’re such a sweet talker.

Now I’m curious to know, do you fantasize about me in any way?” Jessica asked this question, her bright eyes sparkling with anticipation.

“Of course, sometimes I even dream about you.

But I can’t reveal the content of these dreams; it might trigger a 404 error!” Zhang Wei laughed heartily, without showing any sign of unease.

Jessica’s fair cheeks flushed with a captivating blush, clearly, she understood the kind of dreams Zhang Wei was referring to.

“Jessica, it’s been a pleasure chatting with you, but looking at the time, I better go before I can’t control myself anymore.

I’ve made plans with someone, so I’ll be heading out now.”

“Hope your date goes well.”

“Thanks for your kind words, bye~ bye~”

Watching Zhang Wei leave, the smile in Jessica’s eyes slowly faded, replaced by intense curiosity.

“Zhang Wei is a confident but not arrogant man who can joke with me and let loose while still maintaining a relative sense of rationality.

It’s hard to find a man who can remain restrained in my presence.

This also shows he’s very disciplined.”

“However, today’s conversation wasn’t without its insights; I learned he has a girlfriend.

Sometimes to understand someone, you don’t need to observe them directly—insights can come from the behavior and words of those around them.

If I could interact with his girlfriend, I might learn even more about Zhang Wei.”

“Similarly, Zhang Wei is also an outstanding lawyer.

Although I didn’t attend the courtroom, it’s clear that his victory over the Procuratorate Headquarters is significant.”

“But this also means that there are more mysteries surrounding Zhang Wei.

Before that case, he was nothing more than a shy, introverted little boy.

What turned him into a mature, self-assured man all of a sudden?”

Writing down the last question, Jessica closed Zhang Wei’s psychological counseling notes, her eyes brimming with even greater curiosity.

…

Meanwhile, outside the United Financial Building.

“Zhang Wei!”

After waiting for less than 5 minutes, Xia Qianyue waved at Zhang Wei from not too far away.

“Silly!”

Zhang Wei looked towards Xia Qianyue, a glimmer of brightness in his eyes.

Although it was already December and the temperature outside was nearly zero degrees, Xia Qianyue still wore a fall sports shirt—a blue hoodie paired with athletic long pants, embodying the quintessential sporty look.

Most importantly, the loose hoodie concealed her only flaw, making Xia Qianyue appear even more flawless.

With a face so exquisite that even the pickiest of critics couldn’t fault, short hair matched with a youthful smile, and a simple-minded and clumsy personality, Xia Qianyue was the epitome of the perfect girlfriend.

Intelligent women may be admired by men, but simple-minded women are cherished.

Xia Qianyue was just such a silly and adorable girl.

“Zhang Wei, where are we going to shop today?”

“Since I am asking you for a favor, naturally, you call the shots.”

“Then let’s…”

After thinking for a moment, Xia Qianyue quickly suggested, “Let’s go buy clothes first, complete the task at hand, and grab something to eat when we’re tired.”

This approach was typical of someone who’s all about getting things done; if the day’s goal was to shop for clothes, they’d go straight to picking out garments.

This was another reason Zhang Wei liked Xia Qianyue: being practical meant avoiding a lot of hassle.

If it had been a more pretentious girl, she might get distracted by sale signs in shop windows on the way to buying clothes, immediately turning around to shop for handbags, jewelry, or even a bunch of small gifts, and then maybe having a meal, resulting in the whole day passing by the time they reached their destination.

How did Zhang Wei know this?

Naturally, because he’d suffered through it in a past life.

“No problem at all; I just love this about you!”

So when Xia Qianyue made her suggestion, he immediately agreed.

“What nonsense are you talking about?

It’s just buying clothes, what’s there to like or dislike!”

Xia Qianyue grumbled, yet she felt somewhat delighted in her heart.

The two quickly arrived at Dongfang Capital City Center’s biggest fashion district—the Wan Jiahui Center.

This place was the best upscale shopping center in the entire Dongfang Capital, with fashion flagship stores from both domestic and international brands, bringing together Dragon Country Mall, United Mall, Southeast Department Store, Hengyuan Plaza, and a series of other renowned shopping centers, and connecting four commercial streets, two of which were specifically known for their cuisine.

Wan Jiahui Center, gathering department stores, dining, entertainment, and culture, had become a city’s fashion highlight through the joint development of Dongfang Capital’s major financial groups.

Originally, Xia Qianyue was reluctant to come to the Wan Jiahui Center because, although the clothes here were beautiful, they were also very expensive.

However, under Zhang Wei’s insistence, Xia Qianyue had no choice.

“The only downside to something expensive is its cost; you need to understand that,” Zhang Wei had once enlightened Xia Qianyue.

This principle was also one from his past life—why would the wealthy not hire pro bono lawyers but instead spend a fortune to contract his services for their legal battles?

Because the only downside to expensive things is their price, but their benefits are plentiful.

Similarly, although expensive clothes might cost a lot, they look great when worn.

The pair went straight to the second floor of the shopping district and casually selected a boutique of a famous brand from Dragon Country.

The sales assistant was about to warmly greet the customers who entered the store, but her smile froze upon seeing Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue’s attire.

Since they had planned to buy clothes, Xia Qianyue was dressed in casual attire, and as there were no court appearances scheduled for today, Zhang Wei naturally didn’t wear formal attire either.

The two looked young, appearing to be a college couple out for fun.

The female sales assistant, having seen plenty of such customers, knew very well how tight their purses tended to be.

Commonly known as: broke!

“Feel free to browse, and please call me once you’ve chosen some clothes!” The sales assistant dropped the line and went back to guarding the door.

Clearly, she had no intention of assisting Zhang Wei and his companion.

“Tsk!”

Zhang Wei wasn’t surprised by the sales assistant’s behavior; it was Xia Qianyue who scoffed.

“Don’t mind it, there are always people who judge others by their appearance.”

Zhang Wei comforted her and they began to pick out clothes.

At the same time, another pair of customers walked into the store.

“Honey~ I wanna buy some clothes~”

A whiny voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Wei instinctively felt a wave of discomfort.

It reminded him of someone from his past life, who had left behind a vast green pasture for her.

This time, the visitors were not customers like Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue, but a middle-aged man with a greasy face, leading a gaudy young woman.

“Please come in, dear customers~”

As soon as the female sales associate saw the middle-aged man, her attitude made a 180-degree turn, and she fawned over him with a lickspittle expression.

It was as if he were her own parents.

The middle-aged man, being quite the gentleman, opened the door for his companion, and the two walked into the store.

“We’re just looking around,” he casually said, holding the woman’s hand as they browsed through the store.

But the sales associate had clearly pegged the middle-aged man as a big spender, accompanying him the whole time, not to mention launching into an endless spiel the moment they paused, fearing any neglect on her part.

In contrast, Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue had been picking out clothes for a while, and the sales associate hadn’t paid them any mind.

After a while, the gaudy woman took a fancy to a red slit maxi dress, and immediately began to act coy.

“Husband, I’m attending a banquet tomorrow night, help me pick out an evening dress, pretty please~”

“Alright, alright, alright, try it on and see how it looks,” the middle-aged man gestured dismissively.

Upon hearing this, the woman gleefully rushed off to the fitting room to change.

“Zhang Wei, I’ve made my choice too!” Coincidentally, Xia Qianyue had also picked out her clothes.

Perhaps by chance, she had also chosen a red dress.

Xia Qianyue followed the flashy woman into the fitting rooms, one after the other.

“Hey, young man, your girlfriend’s not bad!” The middle-aged man’s eyes brightened up when he saw Xia Qianyue.

However, when he turned to glance at Zhang Wei, his eyes quickly swept over him before displaying a trace of contempt.

Clearly, he had sized up Zhang Wei as a young man of meager means.

“Big brother, the same goes for you; your girlfriend’s pretty good too,” Zhang Wei responded with a smile.

The middle-aged man’s brow furrowed, feeling there was something off about their exchange, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on why.

Since he was waiting anyway, the middle-aged man, out of boredom, saw an opportunity to inflate his sense of superiority by disparaging Zhang Wei.

“Young man, where do you work?”

“Oh, I’m still a student at East University Law School.

After getting my certificate next year, I’ll be an intern lawyer.”

“An intern lawyer?”

Hearing Zhang Wei’s status, the middle-aged man let out a chuckle, his disdain growing deeper.

Not only a broke kid but also a broke student.

The legal profession is highly competitive nowadays.

Even if you’re somewhat capable, without a solid background, you won’t make it to the big stage.

“Young man, since we’ve met by fate, I might as well tell you, our company’s legal department is always hiring.

After graduation, you could come try applying,” he said as he handed Zhang Wei a business card.

“Astro Network Technology, Manager of Market Department 2: Tang Chunde,” it read.

Zhang Wei was slightly taken aback when he saw the middle-aged man’s card.

This unremarkable-looking man was actually from a major company.

Astro Network is the second-ranked Internet enterprise in Dongfang Capital, with assets close to a hundred billion, second only to the leading Blacksmith Technology.

“Husband~ I’m done changing~”

From inside the fitting room, the flashy woman had finished changing, her voice sounding rather impatient.

“Zhang Wei, I’m ready too!” Next door, Xia Qianyue had also finished changing.

When the doors to both fitting rooms opened at the same time, Zhang Wei was momentarily stunned, while the middle-aged man’s eyes widened—not with admiration, but with shock.

And…

an inability to look directly…

“Silly, you really shouldn’t wear dresses…”

Zhang Wei’s mouth twitched as he watched Xia Qianyue emerge from the fitting room.
