Not seeing Qi Yi during the day didn't stop Tang Jinyu from working overtime that night.

Sometimes she can't even explain what's wrong with herself, even though she knows that working overtime all the time isn't a good thing.

I know that getting proper rest will give me more energy, but I just can't control myself.

She felt like she was stuck in this case, and that she would probably have to stay in this state until it was over.

When Qi Yi returned, there were only a few people left in the law firm, but there were still some.

When he went to deliver something to his own office, he would happen to pass by Tang Jinyu's office.

Seeing that the lights were still on, I knew the person hadn't left yet.

After he put his things down, he knocked on the door.

"Aren't you leaving yet? It's so late!"

After hearing the sound, Tang Jinyu looked up and glanced at it.

"Is it late? I think it's okay. Anyway, I live close to home, so it doesn't matter."

"Why are you back at the company at this hour? Is there something you haven't finished taking care of?"

Qi Yi rubbed his throbbing temples. "I came back to deliver some things. Today's cases are all done. The result was alright, much better than I expected."

It wasn't in vain that he had been gone all day; after fighting these two lawsuits, he was quite exhausted.

That was a weariness that Tang Jinyu rarely saw in him.

You should know that ever since Qi Yi entered this line of work, he seems to have inexhaustible energy.

He's always full of energy, no matter when you find him.

That's why she always regarded Qi Yi as a role model; with that kind of serious attitude towards work, you can't find another person like him.

Tang Jinyu always felt lucky to be able to become friends with him.

Following in his footsteps, one can indeed learn a lot.

The way they handled things was so clever.

She certainly couldn't have imagined it.

"Isn't it late? I heard you were working late at the law firm yesterday."

“That’s not how you do things. Even if you want to help him, you can do it another way.”

"I promised you that you can do what you want, but sometimes you can also try to give yourself more rest."

Qi Yi really doesn't know what to say. Fundamentally, Tang Jinyu was working for him.

Anyone could say that, but he's the only one who can't.

But it didn't work.

Qi Yi had repeated these words countless times, but all he ever received was a perfunctory response.

It was clear that Tang Jinyu didn't really want to talk about these things; she didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.

“It doesn’t really matter. I have nothing to do when I get home. I don’t know what I should do if I’m not at the law firm.”

If she had any other choice, things wouldn't be like this now.

She actually knows everything, but it's a different story when she says it out loud.

She felt that there was no misunderstanding between her and Qi Yi, as if they both understood why they were working overtime.

But then again, things can't be explained in just a few words.

"You know that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. Besides, I already called you this morning to let you know. It's too late for you to start picking a fight now."

"I've already started taking action. If you want to stop me next time, remember to stop me as soon as I show any signs of doing so."

"Now, it's really too late."

Tang Jinyu had already told her brother everything, so there was no room for negotiation.

She has no idea how things will turn out now that her brother has gotten involved.

Now, how to describe it to Qi Yi is even more unclear.

"I didn't mean to stop you. Your ideas have always been sound. I don't know what to say."

"But if you say that working so hard means you don't care about your health, then I'm not exaggerating when I say that."

"Alright, pack up and let's get off work early today. Let's go out for dinner."

"I'm so tired after a long day, I haven't even had a proper meal."

Mentioning Qi Yi makes me feel sad. Why did he do it? It was all to get a good result for his client.

We finally had a break at noon, but we didn't even get to have a proper meal before it was all over.

He didn't even know how he managed to schedule his time so tightly, without even giving himself a moment to catch his breath.

"Okay, since you've said so, then we won't work overtime today. Let's leave early. What do you want to eat? It's on me."

"This is a treat for you after a long day."

Tang Jinyu closed all the documents on the table, then smiled and looked at Qi Yi.

There are very few times when he feels tired.

But it's clear that today was indeed a very busy day.

Occasionally, she can take a break, which isn't a bad thing.

She hadn't thought about these things before because many of the things she had to do were things she had to do herself.

Even an assistant can't do it for you.

No matter how much Qi Yi talked to her, it wouldn't change anything.

She couldn't change her way of doing things; she didn't even dare to say things like, "I'm not working overtime today."

From the first day she arrived at the law firm, she was afraid that people would say she got in through connections.

Therefore, they will appear to work harder than others.

However, some problems cannot be solved by working overtime.

They should learn to adapt.

For someone like Qi Yi, all that talk is ultimately useless.

Tang Jinyu herself actually knew absolutely nothing about this matter.

He may still not understand that Tang Jinyu is not someone who listens to advice, and that in this matter, they don't actually have much say.

"Why would I need you to treat me to a meal?"

"I'll pay the bill. Don't even think about taking it from me. I'm still your boss, after all. Even if you're richer than me, it's not a big deal."

"If this gets out, what will people think of me?"

Qi Yi was almost laughing in exasperation at her; eating was supposed to be a very simple thing.

But it seems like she has no self-awareness at all.

When it comes to settling accounts and paying bills, he might not be so eager to do it with others.

But now he's figured it out: he needs to be straightforward and clear with Tang Jinyu.

That way, he won't have to think about it.

It's quite nice when you don't have to use your brain to do things.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, so let's do it your way."

"You know, I've always been a very obedient person."

Anyway, he didn't say a word of what he should have heard, and he didn't know what he had heard that he shouldn't have heard.

Qi Yi had a headache, but he never yelled at anyone.

It was just normal communication.

She didn't say much, but the way Tang Jinyu acts is sometimes quite unusual.
