When Qin Suisui walked out of the state federal court, it was already 3 p.m. The hearing lasted for about five hours in total.

Judging from the outcome of today's hearing, she seems quite satisfied.

Based on the information provided, it appears that the Shell Law Firm, represented by Pete, initially did not take her and the Rodton Law Firm seriously.

The Cistar Group has benefited too much from patent lawsuits; they underestimated the morale of the distribution channels and their confidence in their patented technologies.

Underestimating their opponent will inevitably lead to the downfall of Cecida Group and Shell Law Firm.

"Sheffield!"

Qin Suisui lowered her head and was about to get into the car when she was stopped by a voice behind her.

She turned around and saw it was Pete!

"Sheffield!"

Pete strode over and placed his hand on the car door.

"Sheffield, have you considered returning to M country?"

Qin Suisui raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on her lips: "How so?"

"If there were an opportunity for you to return to M country and join a platform that is developing faster than Rodton Law Firm, would you consider it?"

Pete twirled the car keys between his fingers, looking relaxed, but his gaze was fixed on Qin Suisui's expression.

"Entering a platform that develops faster than Rodton Law Firm? Are you referring to your Beike Law Firm?"

Qin Suisui found it amusing. Pete had already lost to her several times, yet he was representing his law firm to negotiate with her. Where did he get his confidence from?

"What's the prerequisite? Accepting a settlement?"

"Sheffield, you're a smart person!"

Seeing Sheffield's indifferent expression, Pete's smile became even more stiff.

“Sheffield, you should know that staying in M ​​country and being sent back to Z country are two different developments. Your client base determines which circle you will belong to in the future. If you go back to M country, it means that the future is full of infinite possibilities. If you go back to Z country, you will be further and further away from high-end clients, and eventually you can only take orders from some nouveau riche.”

Pete became more and more relaxed as he spoke, as if he could already see Sheffield's humility and obedience when facing him after joining Shell Law Firm.

Qin Suisui didn't want to pay attention to his arrogance, but instead used two fingers to pinch Pete's arm that was on the car window and let go.

"Pete, don't worry about it. I'm very happy and enjoying my time back in Z country. Besides, are you referring to greedy and despicable people like the Cestar Group when you say 'high-end clients'?"

She bent down and got into the car, looking up at Pete, who looked utterly shocked.

"Excuse me, they're just a bunch of opportunistic robbers. How can you call them high-end clients? It's laughable!"

After saying that, she ignored Pete completely and closed the car door.

"drive!"

"Qin Law!"

Yue Hongxin looked at Qin Suisui sitting in the back of the car through the rearview mirror.

"Will you ever return to M country?"

Her tone was cautious and tentative.

"I don't know, nobody can predict the future!"

Qin Suisui opened the car window, and the outside wind instantly rushed into the car, bringing a touch of comfort.

"I will not leave Huating for at least the next five years."

"That's great!"

Yue Hongxin clapped her hands in excitement.

Although many people think that M country is good, she still thinks that her country is better than M country in every way.

A smirk played on her lips as she muttered disdainfully, "What's so special about a country with only two hundred years of history, the birthplace of exiles and gold prospectors!"

"Ha~"

Wen Zong was amused by Assistant Yue's arrogant tone.

The car traveled slowly along the way, and the three people in the car chatted happily.

"What's wrong? Did you run into a wall?"

Amorepacific came out and saw Pete, who was staring angrily at the taillights of Sheffield and the others' departing car.

When Pete made the suggestion, Amorepacific was the most vehemently opposed. She had worked so hard to get to where she was today, and her future seemed bright. If Sheffield came along now, there would be no room for her to grow.

"Hmph, they're completely ungrateful!"

Pete walked toward the parking lot with a cold expression.

Because the hearing lasted a long time, Qin Suisui and her group did not have lunch.

As soon as I got back to the hotel, Director Xing called.

"Xie Fei, I just reported our achievements to President Yao. He was very pleased. President Yao has already asked the staff to book a private room on the top floor of the hotel, and they are just waiting for us to arrive."

"Okay, we've arrived at the hotel. I'll go back to my room to freshen up a bit before going up."

After five hours of heated debate, I hadn't even had a chance to react yet, but I already felt mentally exhausted.

After hanging up the phone, she turned to look at Yue Hongxin and Wen Zong.

"Are you going back to your rooms? I need to go back to my room to tidy up first. Director Xing and the others have already arrived at the top floor. You can go up for dinner if you're not busy."

"Qin Lu, I'll go back to the guest room with you, and we'll go upstairs for dinner later."

Yue Hongxin planned to go back and change into some casual clothes so she could relax before going out for dinner.

Wen Zong didn't say anything, but followed them into the elevator.

"Qin Lu, there's something very strange."

Throughout the journey, he remained troubled by certain contradictory aspects.

Ever since he learned that he would be accompanying Qin Lu to the M country to attend the hearing of the Tonglu Group, he had specifically looked for some information.

Before the hearing, the state federal judge will invite relevant professional teachers or experts to provide professional interpretations of the evidence documents provided by both parties.

There's a high probability that the outcome will be decided in the first round. Lawrence is a senior Supreme Court Justice, so why did he handle this so poorly?

Wen Zong expressed his thoughts.

At this moment, the elevator doors have already opened.

Qin Suisui gestured for the two of them to follow her into her room.

"You two sit for a while."

She took two bottles of ice water from the refrigerator and handed them to the two of them.

“When we represent the Tonglu Group in litigation, we must be prepared for the possibility of unfair treatment during the process.”

She opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and then continued.

"From the moment we sent an email to the Cestar Group, they have been so arrogant that they have been abusing their privileges without restraint."

"They never took Z country companies seriously because the lawsuit was in M ​​country. They never expected that the Tonglu Group would fight them to the bitter end, whether in terms of patent technology or huge fees."

"Our application for a summary judgment this time caught them off guard."

"The capital relationships behind the M-country consortium are intricate and complex. They may even have invested in two companies at the same time. When the two companies have conflicts of interest, there will inevitably be various games. With interests as the top priority, capital will tend to favor the company that generates the greatest profit."

"The same applies to our Law Firm, Rodton & Shell!"
