Although Qin Suisui had confidence in Western law, she still thought long and hard when signing the agreement with the Tonglu Group.

During the negotiation process, the proportions of legal fees and liquidated damages were adjusted.

“Mr. Yao, Rodton Law Firm is a foreign-funded law firm. In addition to the leading companies in the industry in Country M, the law firm may also face pressure from the government of Country M in this lawsuit.”

"Because Roton Law is located in the United States, in Manston, we need to take into account all possible obstacles."

"Based on the information we have, both Cecil and Layton Group have large capital backings that are linked to certain members of Congress. In fact, some state candidates have their campaign funds largely supported by these two groups."

"Isn't there any other, more moderate approach to the Qin legal code?"

Yao Benxin's face showed a hint of weariness. In his forties, his temples were already gray, and his expression carried a deep sense of twilight.

Qin Suisui had read an interview with Tonglu Group in a business newspaper a few years ago, and the cover of the newspaper featured Yao Benxin himself.

At that time, the Tonglu Group had just set sail overseas, and its performance in North America and Ozhou doubled year by year.

On the cover, Yao Benxin looks spirited and in his early forties. Thanks to his good maintenance, his hair is completely white, and he looks relaxed and at ease. His eyes are confident and determined as he looks at the camera.

He possesses the charm of a middle-aged man and the ambition of a young man.

Now, even his tone lacks the sharpness and determination of those years.

Is there absolutely no possibility of reconciliation?

Yao Benxin fought a three-year legal battle with Xixida Group. His initial anger and persistence had almost completely vanished amidst three years of setbacks and confusion.

What he is more worried about now is that the endless lawsuits will suppress the distribution group he has worked so hard to build to the point where he has no room to fight back. If the company eventually declines, then everything he has pursued in his life will be destroyed.

“Mr. Yao, I know you hope to reach a settlement agreement through litigation, even if you are sure to win the case.”

"You may not know enough about the companies and government of the United States. Even if a settlement agreement is reached as you wish, they will still tear up the signed agreement at any time if their interests are involved."

"The laws of Country M can be interpreted in different ways, leading to different lawsuits. Regardless of whether you win or settle, the technology of the Tonglu Group is the bottleneck of the entire industry. The battle between Xixida Group and your Tonglu Group is a life-or-death struggle, with no way out!"

Yao Benxin frowned, looking slightly tired.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"No!"

Qin Suisui shook her head cleanly and decisively, a faint smile on her face.

"Mr. Yao, you should have been aware of the lawsuits Rongning fought with the government and companies of Country M a few years ago. At that time, Rongning's board of directors should have shared your views and opted for settlements. But now, almost every year, the government and companies of Country M launch new lawsuits in different ways, all for the sake of money. Mr. Yao, do you have the financial strength of Rongning Electronics? Are you willing to be fleeced year after year like this?"

Qin Suisui's words plunged Yao Benxin into deep thought. He clenched his jaw, looked out the window at the sky, and unconsciously clenched his fists, tapping them together with increasing force.

Qin Suisui did not disturb him. She picked up the tea on the table and filled the teacup opposite her with water.

Seeing that the other person was deep in thought, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Hong Chang to inquire about the court hearing time at Qingfeng Court.

Hong Chang replied quickly: The Qingfeng Court will announce the trial time tomorrow. I am already in Qingfeng City.

Hong Chang harbored a deep grudge against Qin Lu for the trouble he had caused for Qin Lu due to his personal reasons.

In recent days, he has even abandoned company affairs to focus solely on the Bao family's lawsuit.

Upon seeing the news that Hong Chang had arrived in Qingfeng, Qin Suisui raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Qin Law!"

Yao Benxin finally understood, looked up and was about to speak when he saw Qin Lu across from him typing and sending messages at lightning speed.

Her black business attire did not diminish her radiance in the slightest. The way Qin Lu typed with her eyes lowered was like a painting in Yao Benxin's eyes, the colors under the soft light exuding an ultimate gentleness.

However, the moment Qin Suisui raised her eyes, the depth of her gaze made her exude wisdom and sharpness.

"Mr. Yao, what do you say?"

Yao Benxin paused slightly, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Attorney Qin, what do you suggest we do to sign this agreement?"

"My personal suggestion is that, in order to avoid unpredictable risks in the future, which may come from pressure on the Law Firm by the M Country government, you should sign a performance-based agreement with our firm!"

Qin Suisui remained calm and composed, her voice carrying a sense of caution.

"I can only guarantee that when I personally sign the litigation agreement with you, I will be completely guided by your will, minimize risks as much as possible, and ultimately win the case!"

"But I cannot be certain of certain unpredictable risks, and those irresistible external forces cannot be ignored!"
