CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: MILLION-YUAN SALARY! RECRUITING GU CHEN!

Liu Ying believes that offering such a high salary will definitely win over Gu Chen!!

Gu Chen’s law firm can be found by many people.

Netizens all know that Gu Chen doesn’t have much money, and his previous law firm was almost bankrupt.

But nobody questions Gu Chen’s professional abilities anymore.

After winning these two lawsuits, countless people want Gu Chen to represent them!

It was only after these recent lawsuits, with the increased popularity, that Gu Chen started earning money.

Liu Ying feels that signing such an amazing lawyer like Gu Chen is a sure thing!

The viewers in the livestream are feeling a bit overwhelmed.

[What? ByteDance is inviting Gu Chen to their legal department?]

[Wow, if a lawyer like Gu Chen joins ByteDance, there’d be another Nanshan Pizza Hut!!]

[A million annual salary? I’m so envious!!]

[Plus there are other benefits, being part of ByteDance’s legal team and a signed Douyin streamer, if he doesn’t blow up, who will? Gu Chen will make so much money, I’d definitely accept!]

[If Gu Chen agrees to be a lawyer in ByteDance’s legal department, does that mean we can’t hire him for lawsuits anymore?]

Netizens are bombarding with comments one after another.

Gu Chen said, "Hello, I just want to be a lawyer, so I won’t join ByteDance’s legal team. However, there are issues with your contracts, and I can help modify them. Also, if needed, I can make some occasional livestreams."

No one would complain about having too much money. If Gu Chen starts a livestream, with a Douyin push, he can still earn quite a bit. The popularity and viewer numbers would likely be even higher than now.

As long as the followers increase and the stream becomes popular, he’ll surely earn a lot of money then.

He could run a law firm to take cases and make money while also earning from livestreams, no issue.

But while livestreaming is fine, it shouldn’t restrict his personal freedom, and Gu Chen doesn’t want to do live product sales or participate in commercial activities.

Gu Chen merely wants to work in law, and livestreaming could provide legal education to viewers and solve fans’ dilemmas.

While livestreaming, Gu Chen placed a call to Liu Ying to discuss the specifics.

The specifics were finalized.

Gu Chen helped to modify and refine ByteDance’s streamer contracts, ensuring no loopholes existed.

Gu Chen solved all of ByteDance’s contract template issues in under half an hour!

After Liu Ying received the templates, she asked someone from the legal department to take a look.

The head of the legal department, Chen Rui, saw them, and his eyes lit up, his breathing became a little heavier.

"Lawyer Gu truly is a genius... his legal knowledge is incredibly deep. It’s no wonder he can handle such cases! He found the issues with our contracts in half an hour and even corrected them..." Chen Rui said.

Because the contracts had various unfounded clauses to restrict streamers.

Some clauses were unreasonable or even illegal!

If someone decides to report it...

It’s like Douyu’s lottery events, if someone knowledgeable wanted to stir up trouble, many top streamers would be implicated!

"Can’t we bring Lawyer Gu into ByteDance’s legal department? We can renegotiate the terms!" Chen Rui said, "I can request approval from higher-ups! Let Gu Chen become our company’s legal director, overseeing the entire company’s legal matters! He could also help in drafting the company’s legal policies, assist management in dealing with complex legal issues and risks!"

"The legal director’s salary can reach 1.3 million! As long as Gu Chen is willing to come, the legal director’s position is his!!" Chen Rui added.

Liu Ying shook her head, "Gu Chen stated that he wants to work in law without too many restrictions. Joining ByteDance would mean he can’t help ordinary people with their legal battles anymore."

Chen Rui said, "I can apply for an exception! Gu Chen’s abilities are outstanding! Especially his legal expertise; he can even identify our legal department’s loopholes! If he doesn’t become a lawyer at ByteDance... going elsewhere would be a huge loss for us! We need talent like him!!"

Chen Rui said, "His personal freedom won’t be restricted. He can still have his law firm! He could maintain an affiliation with our company! Otherwise, we could offer a legal consultant or senior legal manager position!! As long as Gu Chen has some link with us, he can go anywhere, as long as we can collaborate with him!!"

Chen Rui was truly anxious.

Even judges have been brought down by Gu Chen...

Gu Chen’s legal knowledge is incredibly specialized! His potential surpasses top-tier lawyers!!

Just with these two cases, many have recognized Gu Chen’s talents.

Chen Rui said, "I’ll go discuss with the company. Meanwhile, we can make Gu Chen a Douyin streamer! As long as he streams with us, he has free reign, no restrictions on any activities, he can stream when he wants, and we can increase his benefits! We can improve his revenue share; everything is up for discussion with the company!"

Liu Ying nodded, "I’ll discuss it with the company!!"

An afternoon went by.

Liu Ying reached an agreement with the company!!

Then Liu Ying dialed Gu Chen’s number.

Gu Chen: "Hello."

Liu Ying said, "Lawyer Gu, I’ve discussed with the company, and they’re willing to offer you an S-level package! As long as you sign with Douyin, you’ll get S-level promotions and streaming boosts! Then, the revenue split is 64 percent; you get 60, and we get 40. Also, the company won’t restrict any of your commercial activities, as long as you stream with us and not elsewhere. Additionally, the signing fee is one million per year. It’s not much, but it’s our biggest show of sincerity!!"

The most lucrative aspect of Douyin streaming is indeed streaming, creating video content, advertising, and product sales... these revenues far exceed any signing fees.

ByteDance’s aim was to sign Gu Chen first!

After all, a casual stream from Gu Chen draws in over a hundred thousand viewers!!

Gu Chen reviewed the contract, ensuring everything was in order, and signed it!

He will stream only on Douyin, make videos, but he won’t advertise or do product sales.

Just from this, Gu Chen can make quite a lot of money!!

After signing the contract, by eight o’clock in the evening....

Douyin had already confirmed the promotion strategy!!!
