This was like a bucket of cold water, dousing Yun Nvluo.
She stared at Quan Yuxun's avatar on the virtual display screen, murmuring, "Why? Young Master Quan, why? What did I do wrong? Why punish me like this?"
"You don't know what you did wrong?" Quan Yuxun raised an eyebrow. "Then you're even less of a competent secretary. That alone is reason enough for you to leave my Quan Family Law Firm."
Yun Nvluo burst into tears. "Young Master Quan! You can't do this to me! I joined the Quan Family Law Firm right after graduating from Law School! I haven't made a single mistake in the past five years, my work has been meticulous, and I've helped the Quan Family win so many lawsuits. Why do this to me?!"
Quan Yuxun smiled, nodding as he said, "...Never made a single mistake? So I'm wronging you?"
Yun Nvluo panicked slightly, waving her hands hastily. "Misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding... Young Master Quan, did someone say something about me in front of you? You can't just listen to one side of the story, you have to give me a chance to explain!"
"A chance? Alright, speak, I'm listening." Quan Yuxun took another sip of coffee.
Yun Nvluo racked her brains, but couldn't recall anything that had touched Quan Yuxun's Dragon's Scale.
She wiped away her tears with a tissue, choking as she said, "I really don't remember where I went wrong, can Young Master Quan give me a hint?"
Quan Yuxun's smile didn't change. "Hmm, then let me remind you, Da Fu Prefecture, Fan Family."
Yun Nvluo's pupils constricted violently, and she murmured subconsciously, "Da Fu Prefecture, Fan Family? What happened there? I did everything according to Young Master Quan's instructions..."
Her eyes began to dart around, not daring to continue meeting Quan Yuxun's gaze.
Quan Yuxun watched her quietly, the smile on his face becoming more and more amiable. "Is that so? Then it seems I've failed as a superior. It's not your fault, it's my fault, is it?"
Yun Nvluo bit her lip, saying softly, "Young Master Quan, are you blaming me for not considering the Noble Lady? But at that time, the best way was to..."
"Is that so? If the best way you could think of at that time was to make my Quan Family daughter look bad in front of the entire Empire, then that shows you're really not fit for your job. Not only are you not fit to be a secretary, but you're also not fit to be a lawyer."
Quan Yuxun's gentle baritone voice carried a hint of regret. "In that case, due to your major mistake at work, I have no choice but to fire you. Alright, I said beforehand, either you accept a demotion, and your Yun Family won't participate in this round of title contention. Or, I fire you, and I promise not to interfere in this round of title contention."
"So, you made the second choice."
After Quan Yuxun finished speaking, he had already sent Yun Nvluo's termination notice to the Quan Family Law Firm's public mailbox.
All the staff at the Quan Family Law Firm received this notice.
At the same time, the Quan Family Law Firm's social media account and the Senate Chief Legal Counsel's office also issued an announcement, declaring that Yun Nvluo had been fired by the Quan Family and was no longer Quan Yuxun, the Senate Chief Legal Counsel's first secretary.
The entire Star Network's social media was in an uproar at this time.
Quan Yuxun and Yun Nvluo were both public figures with huge fan bases.
Especially Quan Yuxun, he was one of the few top Nobles who appeared in public, and he was also an exceptionally talented professional.
As soon as the two announcements from the Quan Family Law Firm and the Senate Chief Legal Counsel's office were released, Quan Yuxun forwarded them on his own social media account, confirming the authenticity of the two messages.
Five minutes later, the news of Yun Nvluo's dismissal from the Quan Family topped the Beichen Empire Star Network's trending searches, and the heat continued to rise, soon going from a general trending search to a "viral" level.
Yun Nvluo's Quantum Optical Brain suddenly rang with countless notification sounds.
There were message notifications from social media accounts, direct message notifications from friends and relatives, and video call requests frantically sent by her grandfather and father.
Yun Nvluo looked down and was immediately frightened by the viral trending search on social media.
"...Young Master Quan, are you not showing any consideration at all?" Yun Nvluo couldn't believe her eyes.
"The first time I knew you was at the Law School's opening ceremony. You were invited back to give a speech as a successful alumnus, and I knew that I only wanted to study law and follow in your footsteps in this life!"
"I worked hard for three years, and after graduating, I got into your law firm and became your first secretary. Do you know how happy and how hard I worked?"
"In the past five years, I've had almost no personal time and haven't taken any vacations! Even when I was sick, I didn't put down my Quantum Optical Brain and was always handling various affairs... Your fiancée treated me like a servant, but I didn't care. In my heart, there was only... working hard for you! I won't let anyone damage your reputation!"
"Quan Caiwei was attacked in Da Fu Prefecture, and I was also very sad. But it's also a fact that she and Fan Er Shao have been very close. How would I know if she was actually dating Fan Chengcai? How would I know if the Fan Family father and son had other evidence in hand to prove their close relationship?! So the most prudent thing to do in that situation was to have her appear in court to accuse them and use that video as evidence! After all, it was our people who killed Fan Er Shao without saying a word!"
"You can't deny my efforts over the years because of this! And you can't let my family lose such a great opportunity because of this! Do you know how long our Yun Family has been waiting for this opportunity?!"
"This isn't fair! This isn't fair!"
Yun Nvluo was weeping copiously, crying her heart out.
Even though Yun Nvluo was crying like this, Quan Yuxun didn't show any emotion.
He still smiled sincerely and said gently, "My Quan Family gave you corresponding compensation based on your ability and work performance, and even gave you compensation higher than your ability and work performance. Because of the Quan Family, you also gained social and societal glory far beyond your ability and status. If you haven't realized this, then it can only mean that your quality isn't as high as you think."
"Secondly, my Quan Family daughter has never known Fan Chengcai, so how can there be such a thing as being very close to him?"
Yun Nvluo was dumbfounded: "...But, that's what the Fan Family father and son said."
"They are the opposing party, the defendants, of course they would say that. Yun Nvluo, you are a legal professional, don't you know whose side you should be on?" Quan Yuxun finally revealed the famous legal "Quan Yuxun's Smile", "May I ask Ms. Yun Nvluo, were you Fan Family's lawyer at the time?"
Yun Nvluo hurriedly shook her head: "Of course not! At that time, I fully represented Young Master Quan! Represented the Quan Family! Represented the Quan Noble Lady! How could I represent the Fan Family?!"
Quan Yuxun nodded and said with a smile: "Then since Ms. Yun is the lawyer representing my Quan Family's daughter, as a lawyer, you don't speak for your client, but instead stand on the other side's position, using methods that damage your client's interests to fight this lawsuit. This has already violated the professional ethics and moral standards of a lawyer."
"I will apply to the Beichen Empire Bar Association to revoke your law license. You are not suitable to continue being a lawyer." After Quan Yuxun finished speaking, he began sending the application to the Beichen Empire Bar Association.
He himself is the president of the Beichen Empire Bar Association. Although he cannot make decisions alone, no one has ever refuted his requests.
Yun Nvluo trembled all over, filled with regret, anger, and a hint of unwillingness.
It's all gone, she has nothing left...
First, she lost her reputation, and now she has lost her lawyer's license. Her only chance now is to get her grandfather the title of Baron! Only if the Yun Family becomes Nobles, then everything will not be too late! Gritting her teeth, she still has a chance to make a comeback...
Yun Nvluo took a deep breath, looked at Quan Yuxun's avatar in the video call, and said tremblingly: "Young Master Quan, I don't want to argue with you about what you said. I know you are the boss, you are always right. I just want to beg you, I have nothing now, you won't interfere in this battle for the title, right?"
Quan Yuxun rested his chin on his hand, tilted his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Do I need to interfere? Is it useful for me to interfere? Do you remember that according to Empire law, the title belongs to the Emperor's privilege, and His Majesty the Emperor has the power of life and death over the title?"
Yun Nvluo hurriedly said: "Of course I know, but the law is not without human touch. Even the strictest law can make exceptions. Although His Majesty the Emperor has absolute power, if you are willing, the Quan Family can..."
Quan Yuxun interrupted Yun Nvluo at this time and said gently: "Yun Nvluo, you see, you also know that the law is not without human touch? Then why did you use such vicious thoughts on Caiwei?"
Yun Nvluo was flustered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down and said with flickering eyes: "Young Master Quan, I don't understand what you are talking about. How did I use vicious thoughts on the Quan Noble Lady? Are you talking about that video? But what era is it now? Who still cares about that kind of video? There have been cases of Noble Ladies being secretly filmed before, and those photos were also used as evidence in court. Aren't those Noble Ladies still living well?"
Quan Yuxun said calmly: "Is that so? So if other Noble Ladies are humiliated, my Quan Family's daughter should also swallow her anger, right? To repeat, Yun Nvluo, you were appointed by me to Da Fu Prefecture to represent me and handle this matter as a lawyer. In other words, you are Caiwei's lawyer, but you don't speak from her perspective. Just this alone is enough to revoke your lawyer's license. So what are you feeling wronged about?"
Yun Nvluo was angered by Quan Yuxun's words. She pursed her lips and said, "If I did something wrong at that time, why didn't you remind me? Why didn't you say a word at that time? Why did you suddenly bring it up now, at the critical moment of whether my Yun Family can obtain the title? Even if I am sorry to the Quan Family's Noble Lady, where has my Yun Family let the Quan Family down?"
Quan Yuxun smiled and said: "Yun Nvluo, I am the plaintiff. I can say it whenever I want. Do I still need your approval? You are just my secretary, not my master."
Hearing Quan Yuxun's tone, Yun Nvluo knew that he had no intention of letting their Yun Family off the hook.
She lowered her eyes to look at the messages sent to her by her grandfather and father on the Quantum Optical Brain.
From frantically inquiring at the beginning to now angrily reprimanding, asking what she was doing, and saying that the Emperor had already removed her father's name from the final shortlist.
And her grandfather's name was also ranked last! The one ranked first now is actually a general surnamed Mu!
Her grandfather's message was very urgent, saying that they must not let this person surnamed Mu get the title.
Yun Nvluo didn't know what kind of conflict her grandfather had with this person surnamed Mu, but at this time, since her grandfather said so, she would just do it.
Yun Nvluo made up her mind and said: "Young Master Quan, I admit all of this. I just want you to guarantee that you will keep your word, and that no one from the Quan Family, including Nine Doubts Consort, will interfere in this battle for the title. I will directly withdraw from the Quan Family, and I guarantee that I will keep my mouth shut about everything that has happened in the Quan Family in the past five years."
Yun Nvluo knew that doing so would greatly offend Quan Yuxun.
Because this is equivalent to threatening Quan Yuxun, using various internal news of the Quan Family to exchange for a promise not to interfere in the battle for the title.
