Episode 5

Guo Xiaoyu could understand Li Ke's anxious mood, so he announced to them that he would leave Beijing next week. Yan Fei suggested taking this opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding and simply talk to Ren Jiatong to make it clear.Jiang Chen immediately arranged for Ren Jiatong to communicate with Guo Xiaoyu face to face, and Ren Jiatong clearly denied the plagiarism plan.Guo Xiaoyu suddenly thought that Huang Yue had access to her computer, but she also felt that there might be a coincidence in the idea and there might not be plagiarism.

Following the frank exchange between the two, Guo Xiaoyu drank a glass of wine and became extremely drunk.When she got up the next morning, she was instantly inspired by Ren Jiatong's unintentional words. She drew a cartoon line drawing of Ms. Xiao based on the concept of “ghosting” and brought it to the law firm to demonstrate to everyone. She successfully built a strong evidence chain against the plastic surgery hospital's alleged infringement of portrait rights.

Zhuang Xin greatly appreciated Guo Xiaoyu's unexpected victory and encouraged the interns not only to immerse themselves in studying legal regulations, but also to cultivate various interests and hobbies to cope with new things that are not limited to the legal industry.Zhou An announced that each member of Jiang Chen's group would receive twenty points. Wang Lu was anxious because of his low ranking, worried that he would be eliminated.

However, Zhuang Xin has already discussed with the lawyers that no one will be eliminated in the first round as adaptive training, and the points will not be counted in subsequent rounds. However, in order to reflect rewards and punishments, the elimination points for the next round will be set according to the ranking of this round: Wang Lu, who is at the bottom, will be based on minus ten points, and Huang Yue, who is second to last, willBased on minus five points, the two need to strive for more points in subsequent tasks; as for the top five, they will receive rewards according to their ranking. First place Jiang Chen will get a chance to avoid elimination. Ren Jiatong and Guo Xiaoyu, who are tied for second, will get an extra five points. The third place Yan Fei and Li Ke will start from zero points.

Afterwards, Li Ke proposed that the team have a dinner to celebrate, and Wang Lu asked Guo Xiaoyu to treat him. However, Guo Xiaoyu had just paid the rent and looked embarrassed. Fortunately, Jiang Chen came to the rescue in time.Just when everyone was about to leave for the hotpot restaurant, Guo Xiaoyu received a call from her boyfriend Zhu Zhisheng. Zhu Zhisheng had been approved for vacation and was preparing to come to Beijing. However, when he heard that Guo Xiaoyu had given up the idea of ​​returning to Hangzhou, he was so angry that he hung up the phone without giving her any chance to explain.

Seeing that Guo Xiaoyu was depressed, Yan Fei took the initiative to hand over a tissue to comfort her, and Guo Xiaoyu hugged her and cried bitterly.With Yan Fei's comfort, Guo Xiaoyu gradually calmed down, and the two restored their relationship as good friends and went to a hot pot restaurant hand in hand.On the other side, everyone gossiped about Bai Xiao and Song Yifan's past relationship. Later, the two broke up. Bai Xiao quickly got married, had children and divorced, while Song Yifan is still single.Huang Yue was curious why they didn't get back together, and Wang Lu explained that Junan did not encourage internal romance. If such a situation happened, one party would definitely leave the law firm.

During the dinner, Jiang Chen looked at Ren Jiatong frequently and noticed that she was not looking well, so he stood outside the bathroom and inquired with concern, only to find out that she was on her period, which made her feel a little embarrassed.Ren Jiatong was knocked into Jiang Chen's arms by a passing little boy. The atmosphere between the two was slightly subtle, and it was not until Guo Xiaoyu appeared that the atmosphere was broken.

As the atmosphere at the dinner party gradually got better, Guo Xiaoyu turned the topic to the reason why Wang Lu switched to the Shijun Project.Wang Lu bluntly said that the regular intern cycle is short and it is difficult to get access to core business, but the "Knowing Master" program can quickly give him the valuable opportunity to follow a senior lawyer to handle cases, and provide him with a more direct way to grow.

Seeing that everyone was heartbroken, Huang Yue simply admitted one thing to Ren Jiatong, that is, she was both jealous and envious of the other person's professional abilities, and immediately raised her wine glass to pay respect. Ren Jiatong found that Jiang Chen had secretly replaced the wine in the glass with iced black tea, so she sent him a text message to thank him.Under the catalysis of alcohol, everyone temporarily lowered their guard and talked freely about their career ideals and inner anxieties. The previous competitive barriers gradually disappeared. Instead, they encouraged each other and the team cohesion was significantly improved.

Early the next morning, everyone came to the law firm with tired faces.Zhou An announced the content of the second round of assessment: Client Ms. Tan and her agency received an endorsement invitation from Harjian Food Company. The interns were required to issue a legal memorandum to Ms. Tan based on the product information provided to analyze the feasibility and risks of the endorsement.Zhou An particularly emphasized that this round will return to the individual competition system. The top three scores will still be scored. The last place will be eliminated. The deadline for submission is 12 o'clock that night.

In the afternoon, the uncle made a special trip to the law firm to thank Ren Jiatong and Jiang Chen for their help, for which they each received ten rewards.Ren Jiatong received a call from a man and hurriedly asked Zhou An for half an hour's leave to go downstairs to meet.When Bai Xiao returned to the law firm, he happened to see Ren Jiatong talking with the man in the lobby, and mistakenly thought that she was delaying work due to personal matters.

Ever since Ren Jiatong met that man, he had been absent-minded all afternoon and his work progress lagged behind.Jiang Chen quietly put a glass of milk for her to show his concern, but Ren Jiatong's final submission time was still one minute past the deadline. When she realized the seriousness of the problem, she was unable to do anything about it.Bai Xiao seriously criticized Ren Jiatong for making a fatal mistake, because punctuality is the most basic professional ethics of lawyers, related to client trust and trust, and even Song Yifan cannot make an exception.
