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...
Qin Suisui told Wen Zong to go back to his office first.
"Wen Lu, go back and prepare a detailed and standardized document and a list of issues. Based on the evidence we have collected and organized so far, make several copies of the documents you are going to submit. This afternoon, make an appointment with the person in charge of overseas affairs at Huating Power, preferably tomorrow morning."
She hopes to visit the person in charge of international business at Huating Power as soon as possible.
"Yes, Qin Lu, I'll go prepare it right away."
Wen Zong turned and left Qin Lu's office. Even during the lunch break, he was still pondering the chances of winning the lawsuit.
In recent years, Huating Power International has changed law firms several times in this lawsuit, and even Harbour Law Firm took over. Unfortunately, Shenglun Electric of Y Country always manages to produce insufficient evidence at the most critical moment, causing Huating Power International to lose many court hearings.
"Hey! Attorney Wen, Attorney Qin is really preparing to take over that economic lawsuit against Huating Power International."
Chang Jinhui and the others were looking for a place to sit with their trays when they spotted Wen Zong eating with his head down. They couldn't wait to come over.
Wen Zong glanced up briefly, then wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Tell me, don't you two departments have any cases of your own? You're able to dig up every little rumor!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu chuckled and said, "Attorney Wen, don't you even consider what Attorney Chang's junior sister does? She's a general-purpose talent reserve cadre in the office. How could the law firm be without someone she doesn't know about!"
Chang Jinhui unconsciously poked at the rice in the tray with his chopsticks.
“Y·Guoshenglun Electric Appliances is a tough nut to crack. Countless law firms have fallen victim to this lawsuit over the past few years. Our junior colleague just returned and got involved without even knowing how deep the water was.”
He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"Actually, this lawsuit suits Qin Lu's purposes perfectly. Qin Lu has just returned to Huating, and she desperately needs a lawsuit like this that can make her famous overnight. If she succeeds, Qin Lu will surely become a household name in Huating; otherwise..."
Wen Zong put down his spoon, leaned back in his chair, and calmly began his analysis.
Everyone had their own thoughts on why Qin Suisui took on this lawsuit, and they generally agreed with Wen Zong's opinion. However, this lawsuit represented the failures of several law firms in terms of performance, with none of the top-ranked firms in Huating failing to be selected.
Amidst everyone's worries, there was also a sense of unease. Seeing is believing, and this lawsuit against Huating Power was a crucial battle that would determine whether Qin Lu could establish himself in the Huating legal circle.
The next morning, Qin Suisui brought Wen Zong to the Huating Power International Building. Contrary to her expectations, she and Wen Zong didn't even see anyone and were stopped in the lobby.
For some reason, she emphasized several times that she had arranged a time with the other party's secretary yesterday, but the receptionist's attitude was always ambiguous and she kept making excuses.
With the appointed time fast approaching and the receptionist appearing busy, even the usually mild-mannered Wen Zong couldn't contain his impatience and frowned as he looked at the nameplate on the receptionist's chest.
"Ms. Jiang Peiru, I made an appointment with Secretary Sun of the International Affairs Department at 10:00 AM yesterday. It's 9:55 AM now. When would you like to call the International Affairs Department?"
Since it was their first meeting, Qin Lu had asked him to speak with Mr. Zhang's secretary by phone the night before, and then send a formal email to confirm the time before he arrived this morning.
I only came over after confirming with the other party that everything was correct, but who knew that something like this would happen!
He just tried calling the secretary he contacted yesterday, but the phone was constantly busy.
Wen Zong frowned, not understanding how such a bug could have occurred at Huating Power International.
"Gentlemen, I'm so sorry!"
The receptionist glanced at the time and smiled, "I just received a notification that Mr. Zhang from the International Affairs Department has booked a flight to Y·D this afternoon. Mr. Zhang has already left the company. You two can reschedule with Secretary Sun from the International Affairs Department."
Wen Zong chuckled coldly, his expression a half-smile: "Miss Jiang Peiru, rest assured, I will definitely reschedule with Secretary Sun."
Encountering such an unexpected event on their first meeting, Qin Suisui glanced at the other party expressionlessly, gave Wen Zong a look, and turned to walk out.
After wasting a whole morning and waiting for hours, they still hadn't seen the head of the International Affairs Department. The two walked out of the Huating International Building and gave each other a bitter smile.
Qin Suisui knew she had made the mistake of relying on past experience; she was still applying the procedures from the United States.
“Let’s go, Attorney Wen. Let’s find a place to have lunch first, and then we can go back to the law firm to discuss how to get involved as quickly as possible. It seems we need to introduce them to the other party through a reliable connection.”
Jiang Peiru watched the two walk out of the building and quickly dialed the internal phone.
"Secretary Cheng, Sheffield from the Law Offices of Luo Dun came to see President Zhang with some people. As you instructed, I delayed them until President Zhang left before sending them away."
She abandoned her previous composure, her brows furrowed and her face showing anxiety.
"Judging from Sheffield's attitude at Law Offices, she'll definitely come again when Mr. Zhang returns, next time..."
Unlike Cheng Jiaona, who is the chief secretary of the president's office, she was just a small receptionist. If President Zhang questioned her, she would be the first to suffer. In particular, the look Xie Fei from the Law Firm gave her before leaving made her feel cold.
"Coco, thank you so much. You'll be grateful if you can help me this once. If Sheffield comes again in the future, please receive her according to the normal procedure."
Cheng Jiaona understood Coco's concerns. Zhang Jie only asked her to delay for a few days; they must have other tricks up their sleeves. It was truly unexpected that the new big boss of the Luo Dun Law Firm had such entanglements with An Ru.
