After Turning Around, I Exploded in the Legal Circle

Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...

Chapter 178 Drafting

Qin Suisui looked up at him helplessly, and could only follow his steps toward the elevator leading to the top floor.

I might as well go for lunch at this time; there shouldn't be many customers in the restaurant, and I won't need to wait in line.

The two found a Chinese restaurant and sat down. The food was served quickly, and they finished lunch in less than an hour.

Huo Zhongyuan drove her back to the law firm. He didn't linger and drove back to his company.

"Qin Law!"

Chang Jinhui had lost count of how many times he had stepped forward to the front desk; in any case, his emotions had not calmed down in the past two hours.

At this moment, Qin Lu finally returned.

He smiled and went to greet them.

"Lawyer Qin, the board of directors on the supply chain has approved it. Have they said when they will come to sign the agreement?"

"So eager?"

As Qin Suisui walked, she glanced sideways at Chang Jinhui, who was following her, and couldn't help but chuckle and tease him.

"Now that you've finally received it, do you feel relieved and less nervous?"

These past few days, Chang Jinhui has been pacing around his office like a cat on a hot tin roof.

She understood his concerns; after all, the litigation costs for this lawsuit against the Tonglu Group were almost equal to the total litigation costs of their law firm in the previous year.

"I was just trusting Qin Lu's abilities, wasn't I? It's a win-win situation. If the negotiations fail due to some misunderstanding, it would be a pity for both sides!"

Chang Jinhui walked behind Qin Lu, racking his brains for words.

"Didn't Assistant Yue tell you?"

Qin Suisui was curious about how Chang Jinhui had offended Assistant Yue, who insisted on not revealing any information to him.

"No!"

Chang Jinhui rubbed his nose, almost letting out a long sigh.

He just casually mentioned that Yue Hongxin and Ya Duo had gained weight, and those two girls held a grudge for days.

Especially Yue Hongxin, that girl, she didn't reveal any inside information to me.

He was so anxious he almost choked.

Qin Suisui joked with a smile.

"Attorney Chang, your relationships with your colleagues are not very good!"

"Sigh, only Yue Hongxin and Ya Duo are cute. All the other girls in the law firm are adorable!"

Chang Jinhui looked regretful, shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"That brat is really going to stand up to me like that!"

"Really? Knowing them as I do, you must have really offended them!"

Qin Suisui pointed at him with her handbag and then gave him instructions.

"I'll have Assistant Yue announce in the group chat later that we'll have our performance meeting at 4 PM sharp this afternoon to finalize the agreement. Tomorrow morning at 9:30 AM, Mr. Yao from the Tonglu Group will be bringing their legal department to the law firm to sign the agreement!"

"I'll go find Wen Zong right now and tell him the good news!"

Chang Jinhui looked eager to try. This was his first time handling such an international litigation case, and for him, it was definitely a good opportunity to accumulate experience and gain practical skills.

"snort!"

Watching Chang Jinhui's cheerful steps and back view, Yue Hongxin, who was waiting outside Qin Lu's office, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"What's wrong? What did Chang Lu do to offend you and Duo Ya? He's been avoiding you two for the past two days!"

Qin Suisui walked into the office, put down her handbag, sat down, and looked at her with a smile.

"He gave me and Duoya nicknames!"

Yue Hongxin felt resentful when she thought about the nickname Chang Jinhui had given her in his clique, which Jiang Yu had secretly told her and Duoya.

She angrily complained to Qin Lu.

"They call me and Duoya Luodun 'the Twin Heroes' behind my back!"

"Is there any comment on the two big names in Rodton?"

Qin Suisui reached out and turned on the computer, then sat down in the chair and asked curiously.

"They have such a twisted sense of humor, saying that Doya and I are the 'rich girls' of the Law Offices of Rodton!"

Seeing that Qin Lu was still confused, Yue Hongxin couldn't help but stomp her foot.

"Qin Lu, Hao Mei means 'little fat boy'!"

"Pfft!"

Qin Suisui almost burst out laughing.

She choked on her words, covered her mouth and coughed, her eyes reddening.

"Qin Law!"

Upon seeing this, Yue Hongxin almost jumped up in anger.

Qin Suisui quickly straightened up and said.

"I will definitely criticize them at next week's meeting!"

"Um!"

Yue Hongxin nodded vigorously. These past few days, just thinking about how the male lawyers at the law firm mocked them behind their backs for being "rich girls" made her grit her teeth in hatred.

She left Qin Lu's office, walked back to her desk, sat down, and dialed the front desk.

"Doya, we both absolutely have to start dieting tomorrow!"

In the afternoon, Qin Suisui gave a detailed presentation at the group meeting on the preparations for tomorrow's signing ceremony.

"I've had Assistant Yue send this draft document to your respective email addresses. In particular, Attorneys Wen and Chang must draft a new agreement based on this document before the end of the workday and send it to my email address before you leave!"

She glanced at the lower part of the conference table, where Chang Jinhui and Wen Zong looked at the emails with increasingly serious expressions.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now!"

"Attorney Qin, last year, the Xixida Group sued four distributors under the Tonglu Group in federal district courts in four states of the United States for infringing on its Patent No. 250."

Chang Jinhui clicked through the emails, scrolling through page by page.

Wen Zong added from the side.

"We added another distributor at the beginning of this year!"

"Yes, there are five now!"

Chang Jinhui looked up at Qin Suisui.

"Lawyer Qin, does this mean we have to appear in federal courts in five different states?"

Qin Suisui nodded: "Under normal circumstances, that's indeed the case!"

Chang Jinhui couldn't help but take a deep breath.
