Xia Tian blinked after hearing Mo Kai’s words.

"Thank me?" Xia Tian asked.

Nan Zhubin glanced at Xia Tian’s teacup and silently added water with the kettle nearby.

Mo Kai, with a grateful smile, explained today’s purpose.

Xia Tian shook her head: "It’s nothing, all according to the contract."

The graduate student group from the academic school is often the easiest to satisfy.

Among groups of the same level, their part-time income during their student phase often varies greatly. Some students might already rely on their professional ability, earning a part-time monthly salary surpassing that of regular employees, while others still earn just over a hundred yuan a day.

Faced with this situation, some bosses would stick to the idea of exploiting them as much as possible, using these students who are unaware of their own worth mercilessly.

But Mo Kai clearly isn’t one of those.

"Really, I genuinely feel thankful," Mo Kai emphasized, showing sufficient respect to Xia Tian and the mentors behind her, "I know the current situation of my company; many things are actually supported by your teacher, or some senior brothers and sisters who have already graduated, right?"

"That’s because our experience is indeed insufficient," Xia Tian replied, "After all, we signed the contract, so the work has to be worth the money you pay."

The reasoning is correct.

"And as long as you want, you should be able to hire a more professional and familiar team, right?" Saying this, Xia Tian glanced at Mo Kai’s wrist.

"——Hello, serving the dishes."

Beside them, a waiter appeared carrying a tray and placed a plate of exquisite Longjing shrimp in the middle of the table.

If it were the usual time, the waiter might briefly introduce the ingredients of this dish. But at this moment, the waiter wisely left immediately after serving.

Mo Kai smiled and used the serving spoon to scoop a large spoonful of shrimp for Nan Zhubin, then stopped;

Nan Zhubin looked, then picked up the serving spoon to serve half a bowl for Xia Tian.

"Have a taste, this is the restaurant’s specialty." Mo Kai praised it.

Xia Tian looked at her bowl.

"Alright~" She squinted her eyes, answering Mo Kai’s question while looking at Nan Zhubin.

Mo Kai then pulled the topic back: "As for me... I do know some people. But it’s not convenient to ask them, and they definitely don’t have the same dedication as your senior brothers and sisters; it’s different."

Xia Tian has accumulated some experience in professional fields, understanding the meaning behind the words of someone like Mo Kai, given his background.

Similarly, influenced by her education and upbringing, Xia Tian knows how to respond at this moment.

"Brother Xiao Kai, you’re being too polite. I still say, we’re just doing what’s expected of us, saying thank you is unnecessary."

Xia Tian glanced at Nan Zhubin, seeing he was only focused on the shrimp in his bowl, then added: "Everyone is now learning while practicing, all lacking cases. Brother Xiao Kai, you helped us too."

It seemed like simple modesty, but Mo Kai’s eyes brightened slightly.

"Since Sister Xia Tian ’you’ say so," Mo Kai emphasized, "I have some friends in roughly the same situation who also need reliable legal teams."

"If it’s convenient, can I introduce them to you for your senior brothers and sisters to assist?"

Although phrased as a question, it was in an assertive tone.

"Talking about help is unnecessary." Xia Tian’s eyes remained squinted, "With work available, everyone will surely be happy."

"Then it’s settled!" Mo Kai relaxed upon hearing this.

Both speak of "helping," but who is actually being helped, it’s hard to say.

Nan Zhubin pursed his lips, finding the taste of the Longjing shrimp indeed rather pleasant; Mo Kai has good taste.

He quickly finished the contents of his bowl, and when he looked up, Xia Tian had already raised her delicate arm to serve another spoonful into his bowl.

"Thank you." Nan Zhubin nodded politely.

The main business was essentially discussed, and the remaining dishes gradually arrived around this time.

A small bowl of glistening Dongpo pork, a soup adorned with beef cubes, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and three small bowls of scallion oil noodles.

The waiter thoughtfully provided each dish with small bowls for sharing, presumably instructed by Mo Kai.

Mo Kai then served a mouthful of each dish onto Nan Zhubin and Xia Tian’s plates, then glanced at his phone.

"Sorry, I need to take a call."

Mo Kai gracefully departed.

There was a brief pause by the dining table, followed by the sound of two collisions of spoons and chopsticks; then another pause, followed by two more collisions.

Nan Zhubin glanced in the direction Mo Kai went: "The food here is quite good."

"Hmm." Xia Tian’s eyes curved more warmly, "It’s indeed quite good. Some dishes are not much different from home."

Both Xia Tian and Nan Zhubin are from Jiang Province, so their tastes are very similar.

"I haven’t tried anything like this at home either."

Xia Tian’s eyes widened slightly: "Hmm, I’ve actually eaten it a few times with my dad."

After a thought, Xia Tian suddenly asked: "Teacher Nan, have you tried West Lake Vinegar Fish?"

Nan Zhubin shook his head: "No, I heard... it’s not that great?"

"That depends on the quality of the fish; currently, restaurants don’t have such good fish." Xia Tian swore confidently, "To eat good West Lake Vinegar Fish, you need to know the local fishermen and have the right fish."
