Chapter 471: Where Does the Elite Come From as a Lawyer?

Early the next morning, as the sun rose, the serene golden hue of dawn cast a layer of golden cloak on the towering skyscrapers of the city. It was as if the entire city had awakened in that moment, bustling with cars and people everywhere, a lively and prosperous scene.
袁旭东从小美家离开，昨晚上折腾了大半夜才睡，虽然有点儿辛苦，但是这体验却是妙不可言，早晨的阳光照在袁旭东的脸上，暖暖的，他感慨不已，年轻真好，有钱真好，年轻又有钱就更好了，年轻貌美的小美和她的亲表妹，她们俩姐妹情深，有福同享，有难同当，让袁旭东很满意。
暗骂一句两个小妖精，袁旭东一边轻轻地揉着有些酸酸麻麻的腰部，一边坐进自己的宝马车内，虽然操劳一夜，但是该上班还是要上的，徐乐和沉明宝还在公司里等着他呢，对于人妻少妇沉明宝，其实袁旭东还是非常有兴趣的，和一般的小姑娘相比，她的身上具有一种非常吸引袁旭东的诱惑感，那种感觉袁旭东也说不好，总体上就是介于清纯和性感之间，诱人心动，让人想一亲芳泽。
However, Chen Mingbao is a more introverted woman who belongs to the type of virtuous wife and good mother. Yuan Xudong also found it difficult to approach her, so it all ended up in nothing. However, her husband seems to be not very capable, not very healthy, and has a big traditional mindset. He even listens to his mother. Yuan Xudong heard from Chen Mingbao several times that her husband was not satisfied with his own work, while she herself is the investment director of a large investment company and looks very beautiful. Her husband feels uncomfortable thinking that beautiful women only achieve success through their looks and bodies.
Overall, compared to Shen Mingbao, her husband seems very ordinary, and deep down he is jealous that his wife is more capable than he is. This kind of man is simply not worthy of Shen Mingbao. Yuan Xudong thinks that they will eventually divorce. Shen Mingbao needs someone who knows how to take care of her, while her husband needs a meek and obedient little woman who can take care of the home, earn a much lower salary than him, look up to him with adoring eyes, and so on. Only in this way can his chauvinism be satisfied.
袁旭东觉得自己还有机会，等沉明宝离婚以后，他就可以趁虚而入，最后抱得美人归。
在心里面想着这些歪门邪道的事情，不一会儿，袁旭东就开车赶到了公司的楼下，停好车以后，他向公司走去，路过楼下最近几天才新开的一家咖啡厅，他直接走过去，准备买几杯咖啡带回公司，让沉明宝和徐乐她们都尝尝味道怎么样，要是觉得还可以的话，以后就都在这儿买咖啡了。
袁旭东刚走近柜台，就看见柜台后面站着一个头发非常蓬松的女服务员，打扮得稍微有些另类，但是长得还是蛮好看的，这时她正一边准备着咖啡，一边跟等在柜台外边的外卖小哥聊着法律问题，袁旭东向站在柜台内的另外一位女服务员要了三杯美式，在等咖啡期间，他有些好奇地看向那位头发蓬松的服务员，只见她一边熟练地打包着咖啡，一边吐字清晰地道：
“你父亲是在上班的途中受的伤，所以应该算是工伤。”
“可是他是自己骑摩托车摔的。”
站在柜台外边等着咖啡的外卖小哥一边吃着拿在手里边的早餐，一边模湖不清地说道。
"That counts as a work-related injury."
"But they said that if they fell on their own, it doesn't count."
Looking up at the delivery guy, the girl continued:
"You can check the work injury insurance regulations. If employees are injured in motor vehicle accidents on their way to and from work, it should be considered a work-related injury."
Speaking of which, the girl paused for a moment and added:
"Oh, by the way, there is also a judicial interpretation from the Supreme People's Court. If an employee encounters a traffic accident during their reasonable commuting route between their workplace, place of residence, habitual residence, and employee dormitories within a reasonable period of time, it should also be recognized as a work injury."
听女孩一下说了这么多，外卖小哥有些傻眼道：
“我记不住。”
“那我回头给你列个单子，如果他们不认，你就起诉。”
女孩笑了笑道，听她这样说，那外卖小哥有些担心地问道：
“能赢吗？”
"I can!"
“那你能帮我起诉吗？”
听到外卖小哥这样说，那女孩面色微愣，外卖小哥还以为是酬劳的问题，便补充说道：
“要赢了，我一定付你钱。”
“不是这个意思，咱们先发个律师函吧。”
"Okay."
......
“先生，您的咖啡，请拿好，欢迎下次光临！”
"Okay, thank you!"
从另外一位服务员的手中接过三份咖啡，袁旭东最后看了一眼那位头发蓬松的服务员，接着便转身离开了咖啡厅，就在这时，那位外卖小哥要送的咖啡也打包好了，不等他从那位头发蓬松的服务员的手中接过咖啡，他的手机就响了起来，是顾客的电话，他赶紧接通道：
```html“I've got the coffee, I'll be right there.”
“How long is 'right there'?”
“Two minutes.”
Seeing the delivery guy casually mentioning 'two minutes', the waitress with tousled hair whispered to him:```
“我友情提示一下啊，现在是上班时间，等一趟电梯最起码要三分钟起。”
"I know."
等外卖小哥打完电话，她将手里打包好的咖啡递给他道：
“好了，你的咖啡，请拿好。”
“哎幼。”
没有从女孩的手中接过咖啡，那位外卖小哥突然捂着自己的肚子哎幼痛呼了一声，见他好像很痛苦的样子，女孩担心地道：
"What's wrong with you?"

“Suddenly my stomach hurts.”
“I told you not to eat cold food. Are you okay?”
“No, I need to use the bathroom. Dai Xi, it's at the Qing Jin Law Firm on the nineteenth floor. Can you help me deliver it?”

"Nineteenth floor, Quanjin Law Firm?"
The female server, called Dai Xi by the delivery guy, repeated the confirmation again. The delivery guy nodded repeatedly, holding his stomach.
```html“Yes, yes, Quanjin Law Firm, I'm counting on you. I'll use the restroom real quick, don't be late!”
"Understood."
Seeing the delivery guy rush to the restroom clutching his stomach after giving instructions, Dai Xi shouted after him:```
“厕所里面没纸，你拿纸了吗你？”
看着一熘烟就跑没影的外卖小哥，戴曦摇摇头，和店里的同事打了一声招呼，接着就拿着原本该外卖小哥送的咖啡向电梯处走去。
......
At the elevator, there were quite a few people waiting during work hours. Yuan Xudong had already waited in line for a while when Dai Xi arrived with a cup of American coffee and stood behind him. Yuan Xudong only glanced at her and didn't say anything. Before long, a few more people joined the queue behind Dai Xi, including a man who was on the phone. He looked remarkably similar to Cheng Haos's but had a different air about him. Yuan Xudong hadn't heard of any siblings Cheng Haos had, so it must have just been a coincidence. After all, as the saying goes, stranger things have happened.
Obviously, this man is very confident in himself, or rather, he is strong enough. This can be inferred from the tone of his phone call in the public area.
"Hello, where are you now?"
"In the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the elevator."
"Hurry up, let me tell you, Boss Feng is in a particularly bad mood today."
"What kind of bad mood? Is it once in a decade or once in a century?"
“就是让你赶紧上来那种恶劣。”
“好，马上！”
这时，电梯门打开，众人依次走了进去，袁旭东特意靠在电梯按钮的旁边，人很多，比较拥挤，戴曦将咖啡抱在怀里面，紧挨着袁旭东站着，将他挤到了电梯的角落里边，袁旭东觉得还挺舒服的，并在一瞬间捕获了戴曦的三围数据，这倒不是因为他天赋异禀，只是经历多了，有了经验而已。
“顾律！”
“罗律！”
电梯里的人纷纷跟最后上来的一男一女打着招呼，袁旭东觉得这两个人都挺熟悉的，还有旁边的这个头发蓬松的女孩子，就在这时，他的脑海里面又响起了系统的提示音，同样的套路，袁旭东都懒得细看了，总之就是跟女主戴曦搞好关系，然后系统给他奖励这一套。
Yuan Xudong has become numb. He doesn't lack money now, and he can start over in another world after death, just like playing a virtual reality game. The result doesn't matter anymore. Sometimes, he suspects that he is in a virtual reality game or even like a brain in a vat. Everything he has experienced is fake, just to achieve some special purpose by some higher dimensional existences. But he doesn't really care because as long as he believes this world is real, it is real. He wants to use his favorite girl to fill his empty heart. Only when he takes care of those girls, he will understand the meaning of his existence, which is to live for the girls.
This is his new creed of life: pluck all the flowers in the garden without exception. Haven't you seen throughout history, how many heroes and great men were all philanderers? Hence the saying goes that heroes have their true colors and are also influenced by their desire for food and sex.
Under the system prompt, Yuan Xudong finally remembered the rough plot. This is a drama about lawyers, and the male lead is a guy who looks like Cheng Hao named Luo Bin, while the female lead is naturally Dai Xi. The TV series is called Elite Lawyer. Oh, what a bullshit Mary Sue garbage that glorifies the wealthy with the word "elite".
咱普通老百姓连律师都请不起，那就更请不起所谓的精英律师了，以剧中的罗宾为例，每小时的咨询费从几千到几万块钱不等，打官司要的更多，而且不管官司输赢，你都要给他钱，这真是精英，赚钱的精英，豪车豪宅加名牌服饰，所谓的精英，不过是光鲜亮丽的精致利己主义者罢了，他们从不为道义服务，只为自己的客户服务，总之一句话，只要给钱，他就会替你打官司。
给律师冠以精英二字，只能说这精英二字有些讽刺了，更像是和普罗大众区分开来，吸血鬼在上面，是精英，被吸血的人都在下面，是碌碌无为的老百姓，他们唯一的作用就是做韭菜，被吸血鬼收割，成为精英们高高在上的踏脚石，看见这些普通人，那些精英才会有更大的精神上的满足和愉悦。
The rough plot is as follows: Luo Bin is a senior partner at Quan Jing Law Firm. Dai Xi goes to the law firm to argue with Luo Bin about a lawsuit for her friend, and through a series of coincidental events, she becomes Luo Bin's assistant.
在共事过程中，俩人因在为人处世上的见解差异，频发冲突。
同时，出于对律师这个职业的热爱，戴曦把过多的时间和精力投入到工作上，最终引起男友的不满，二人分手。
在经过几个项目上的相互协作后，戴曦和罗槟对对方都有了更多的了解，戴曦由最初讨厌罗槟，逐渐对他产生尊敬，而罗槟也受戴曦感染，不仅在关心输赢，也变得去关爱他人。
历经磨炼，戴曦最终成长为一个优秀富有正义感的律师，在工作上，和罗槟也有了更多的默契，两人成了一对颇得业界认可，所向披靡的最佳搭档。
The official description is that the male protagonist, Luo Bin, who originally only cared about money, meets the kind-hearted female lead, Dai Xi, and is influenced by her to start caring about the suffering of the people.
None of these matters to Yuan Xudong. He doesn't care about what happens to Luo Bin. In his eyes, the female lead Dai Xi is just an average beauty, with the halo of being the female lead. Compared to Dai Xi, Yuan Xudong actually prefers Luo Bin's secretary, Li Na.
栗娜，一个标准的现代女性，知性干练，妩媚温柔，凭借着超高的情商游走于同事与客户之间，调和着律所的大小矛盾，堪称“润滑剂”一般的存在。
除了栗娜以外，还有蓝兰和蓝红姐妹俩，袁旭东也很喜欢，在袁旭东的记忆里面，她们两姐妹，姐姐蓝红长得像是王鸥，而妹妹蓝兰长得更像是王晓晨，顺便再说一下，戴曦像是蓝盈莹，而栗娜则像是朱珠，其他的人袁旭东就不太记得住了，印象中戴曦的闺蜜也挺好看的，还是个花痴，属于比较好追的那种女孩子，尤其是对于像袁旭东这样优秀的亿万富翁来说。
言归正传，电梯里面很快就挤满了人，超载了，有人抱怨道：
“超载了，咱能下去一个吗？”
按理来说，遇见电梯超载的情况，最后一个上来的人应该自觉一点下去，可最后一个上来的人正是罗槟，他还在那打电话，和他一起上来的是他的同事顾婕，她不但没有要替罗槟下去的意思，反而看向戴曦用很客气的语气说着很不客气的话道：
"Otherwise, could you please go down first?"
"Me?"
Dai Xi looked at Gu Jie in surprise and saw her nod slightly. Dai Xi glanced at Luo Bin and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, but I'm not the last one. He is the last one!"
"Consider the bigger picture, otherwise none of us will succeed!"
Gu Jie looked at Dai Xi and said naturally, but Dai Xi couldn't help but refute:
“您怎么不顾全大局，坐下一趟呢？”
话音刚落，顾婕和罗槟的那些同事就站出来说着漂亮话道：
“美女，咱不差这一分钟两分钟的，我们都有急事，你先下去好吗？”
Dai Xi is most averse to these hypocrites who talk without any repercussions. She looked towards the chubby person speaking and said:
"Only you have urgent matters, does anyone not have urgent matters?"
At this point, Luo Bin also looked towards Dai Xi and said:
"Miss, we do have urgent matters to attend to, could you please step down first?"
"Yes, we're going to be late for work. Could you please hurry and step down?"
“就是，别耽误了别人啊，你下去坐下一趟呗，不就几分钟的事吗？”
整个电梯里面，除了事不关己，漠不关心的人以外，其他的人都在说着戴曦，这些人都有一个共同点，衣冠楚楚的律师，看样子还是罗槟和顾睫的下级，袁旭东觉得挺有意思的，就在旁边看着戴在自己手腕上的江诗丹顿，从电梯超载发出警报声到现在，已经过去了一分多钟了，这些律师还在劝着戴曦下去坐下一趟电梯，袁旭东差点笑出声，是这个世界没有逻辑，还是这些人太蠢了？
While Yuan Xudong was watching the heated discussion, two minutes had already passed and the argument had reached its conclusion. It was evident that Dai Xi, being a young girl, was not a match for these elite lawyers. Then, Luo Bin took out a business card and handed it to Dai Xi:
"This is my business card, please keep it!"
"No, what do you mean giving me your business card?"
Dai Xi angrily said:
"I know you're a lawyer, so you want to tell me that your job is important. Even though you were the last one to come up, you want to go upstairs first, right?"
```htmlAfter Deng Dai Xi finished speaking, just as three minutes had passed, seeing Luo Bin still preparing to interject and chat for a while, Yuan Xudong directly chuckled and said,
"Sorry to interrupt, but it's been three minutes already. The elevators on the opposite side have all come down. Are you really in such a hurry to go upstairs?"```
说罢，袁旭东又看向戴曦笑道：
“还有你也是，你和最不讲道理的人讲道理，还想说服他们接受你的道理，这不是白费力气吗？你要觉得自己没错的话，那就别理他们，耗着呗，看谁先妥协！”
