"It's just a part-time job, why are you still hesitant to do it? Are you so lazy? Why don't you work a little overtime? Griffin is actually just giving you a place to work."
At this time, Zhang San's wife, like most housewives, began to chatter a little bit.
After all, it is really not a difficult thing to work part-time as a legal consultant. It is not as energy-intensive as occasionally working part-time as a lawyer. With this, you can get an extra income and solve the problem of your son’s wedding room. This is simply a blessing from the sky.
Good thing about pie.
"Griffin, if you had said it a day earlier, I wouldn't mind having another part-time job, but now I can only refuse your kindness."
Zhang San showed a helpless smile.
Originally, he thought Griffin was asking him to file a lawsuit or consult on legal issues, which was already very embarrassing for him.
He never thought that Griffin's 'request', which he thought would not embarrass him, would make him even more helpless.
Not long ago, he found a new job and received a salary advance of 1.2 million yuan.
The price of the salary advance is that he has been completely tied to the new company. He is not allowed to change jobs within the year of the advance. He serves as a full-time legal advisor to Xinghai Venture Capital and is not allowed to provide legal consultation and assistance to anyone else.
The most annoying thing is that he personally drew up this contract, and it was impossible to find any loopholes. In order to show his gratitude and sincerity, he set the price of breach of contract extremely high.
To a certain extent, this can be considered a realistic version, literally ‘shooting oneself in the foot’.
But at the time, it seemed that these treaties were extremely reasonable and could even be called benevolent.
How can a boss advance millions of salary to an employee who has not yet taken the job? Isn’t it natural that after a year’s salary is advanced, he cannot change jobs within a year?
As the legal director of a company, it is also reasonable not to provide legal assistance to outsiders to prevent risks.
In fact, he thinks so even at this moment.
However, acknowledging the rationality does not eliminate his embarrassment at this time - it is foreseeable that he may face this kind of situation in the future.
But a contract is a contract. He can find loopholes and criticize its rationality and legality, but he cannot allow himself to breach the contract, and he does not dare to breach the contract.
Regardless of any other factors, a dignified law professor blatantly breached the contract and his reputation was ruined without legal sanctions. At least he could not survive in the academic world.
"Why?"
Griffin Jones was shocked when he heard Zhang San's reply.
Because of the poor information, he couldn't understand why Zhang San rejected him.
He was full of confidence just now. After all, he had played the emotional card for so long and reached out to help at a critical moment. Even if Zhang San was unwilling to agree, he had to reluctantly agree under the instigation and nagging of his wife.
Not only Griffin Jones, but also Zhang San's wife was a little stunned now, and then became anxious.
"Sorry, Griffin, I just said that I have raised the money I need, but this is actually an advance salary that I agreed to an invitation from a company."
Zhang San looked a little apologetic and explained: "I signed the contract in order to advance my salary. I can no longer provide legal assistance to anyone else, let alone serve as your legal advisor part-time."
"Did you agree to other companies? When did it happen?"
Zhang San's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Griffin Jones.
He just realized that Zhang San's personality was not easy to deal with, so he found another way to play the emotional card through his wife and children.
As a result, you told me that you were easily hired by other companies?
And when did this happen? Could it be this afternoon? Obviously just now you were all worried about the bride price.
"On the way back just now."
Zhang San apologetically confirmed Griffin Jones's guess, and stabbed him in the heart again: "So I said Griffin, you said it too late, even if you told me this morning, I
I can all promise you."
"Can...can you tell me which company it is?"
Griffin Jones's mentality and thoughts were completely messed up.
"Sorry, the boss specifically told me not to tell anyone about it for the time being."
Zhang San shook his head again and smiled bitterly.
He was now wondering if his new boss had calculated this situation specially and came up with this to tease him.
Of course, all of this was obviously just a coincidence or a scene that he would inevitably encounter, so this was just a joking thought that crossed his mind.
"Then can you tell me what kind of treatment the company offered Mr. Zhang?"
Even though he knew it was a foregone conclusion, Griffin Jones was still a little unwilling.
How could he be willing to do so? In order to win over Zhang San, he had been working as an enthusiastic neighbor for many days with his wife and children.
"The annual salary is 1.2 million, and he promised to advance my salary for one year in advance."
Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He finally had someone who could answer, otherwise he would have been a little embarrassed if he continued to refuse like this.
"One million and two hundred thousand? Do you want to advance it in advance?"
Griffin Jones' breath froze, and he was immediately in disbelief.
An annual salary of 1.2 million just to hire a lawyer is too exaggerated.
What's more, it's unheard of to directly give him a year's salary in advance. Why didn't he encounter such a good thing when he was working before?
However, in this case, he did not lose unjustly.
There is no need for Zhang San to lie to him about this kind of thing, and he may be able to offer an annual salary of 1.2 million, but he is accustomed to being careful with his budget and will not do such stupid things as giving him several times more salary for nothing.
What's more, Zhang San was given a year's salary in advance directly in advance. Wouldn't it be wasted if someone took the money and absconded or something? This is 1.2 million, not 120 yuan.
Even if he doesn't worry about this, he can't really give Zhang San more than one million right now. After all, he has just started and has only a few million in total funds on hand. He still needs to set up Tianshen Venture Capital and continue to invest.
, being able to spare three or four hundred thousand to lend to Zhang San was already a very determined decision.
So, the clown is actually me?
"Now that Mr. Zhang has raised the money, I won't worry too much.
But one day, Mr. Zhang, if you resign and leave your current company, you can come to me at any time, and the door of Tianshen Venture Capital will always be open to you."
Griffin Jones's face turned a little blue, but he still forced out a smile and managed to say a few words before saying goodbye and leaving.
The moment he turned his back, his face turned completely gloomy, and gloom and anger emerged spontaneously.
