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...
Huo Zhongyuan's eyes were filled with a smile, and his voice carried a hint of laziness and ease.
"I'll drive you to work!"
Seeing Qin Suisui's puzzled expression, he smiled.
"I've had someone drive your car to the law firm's underground parking garage. The car keys are at the front desk."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Huo!"
Since that's the case, Qin Suisui didn't need to hesitate and simply got into the passenger seat.
She fastened her seatbelt and looked up at Huo Zhongyuan.
"Senior Brother Huo, you can start driving now!"
The obedient tone in his voice made Huo Zhongyuan's smile deepen.
After hitchhiking several times, Qin Suisui seemed to have gotten used to it, and without her realizing it, the sense of unfamiliarity in her heart had long since disappeared.
I chatted briefly with Huo Zhongyuan as usual.
The deeper they talked, the more she realized that she and her senior brother Huo shared similar interests.
They all prefer badminton to tennis, horseback riding to golf, and swimming to mountain climbing.
Even the tea they like to drink is the same: Huishan Maofeng.
As the conversation deepened, she and her senior brother Huo found themselves getting along better and better.
Time flew by, and soon they arrived at the company building. Qin Suisui was even a little reluctant to leave.
My senior brother Huo is definitely a good teacher and helpful friend to me.
She thanked him from the bottom of her heart: "Senior Brother Huo, thank you!"
Huo Zhongyuan chuckled softly and nodded.
See you next time!
Qin Suisui stood aside and watched as Huo Zhongyuan rolled down the car window, gestured to her, and drove away.
As the black car sped out of her sight, a sense of calm quickly returned.
She walked briskly into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor where the Law Offices of R.R. Dunn was located.
"Good morning, Qin Lu!"
Duoya had just come from the tea room when she saw Qin Lu walk in, so she quickened her pace to approach him.
"Lawyer Qin, would you like some freshly ground coffee?"
"Thank you, Doya, for bringing a cup of coffee to my office."
Qin Suisui looked at Duoya with a faint smile on her face, her tone light and the last syllable rising.
"Good morning, Qin Lu!"
"morning!"
At the Law Offices of R.R. Dunn, after a night's rest, most of the staff were in high spirits and full of energy, ready to enter a new battle at any time.
"Good morning, Qin Lu!"
"Good morning, Assistant Yue!"
When Yue Hongxin saw Qin Lu enter the office, she got up and followed him in.
"Attorney Qin, Attorney Wang's assistant just called. The Jingzhou Hospital has drafted an agreement and asked if you have time in the next couple of days. They said that Attorney Wang hopes that all three parties can sit down together and sign the contract."
"Sure, you can ask Cheng Yifei. He's been handling the follow-up work. Have him contact Fan Jing and her husband and arrange to meet them at the law firm tomorrow morning to sign the agreement."
"Once Fan Jing and her husband have agreed on a time, you can then inform Attorney Wang of the exact time."
Yue Hongxin: "I understand."
She reported her work schedule for the day to Qin Lu one by one.
After listening, Qin Suisui smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Of course."
Yue Hongxin walked briskly out of the office. She tilted her head and felt that Qin Lu's eyes and brows seemed to be filled with joy this morning.
Qin Suisui was so busy that it was noon.
I shut down my computer and checked my phone. There was a message from Su Yue inviting me to dinner that evening.
She replied with an "okay," and then tidied up the work files on her desk.
She walked slowly out of the office.
"Qin Law!"
Wen Zong, carrying a cup of coffee, saw Qin Lu walking towards the tea room and quickly went up to greet him.
"Wen, what are the results of the evidence collection trip?"
"all the best!"
Wen Zongjun's handsome face showed a hint of ease.
"Lawyer Qin, I heard there's news from Director Sun."
"Um!"
Qin Suisui nodded slightly, unwilling to say more.
"Come to my office this afternoon. You'll be officially starting work the day after tomorrow. Let's briefly sort out the Huating Power case."
"Yes, Lawyer Qin."
He walked to the atrium on the floor, watched Qin Lu pour himself a cup of coffee in the tea room, and then return to his office, a somewhat relieved smile on his face.
If Qin Lu had some doubts about the law firm when he first came to it, now he is only impressed and admiring.
It must be said that Qin Lü's success is not only due to his outstanding abilities, but also to his diligence and self-discipline.
It is well known in the legal profession that lawyers vary greatly in their personal qualities, and the effort and time required to reach the top is something that ordinary people cannot comprehend.
They need to memorize all kinds of thick books, be thoroughly familiar with the new legal provisions added each year, and keep up with media information at all times.
For the sake of work, one may even need to understand the basic knowledge of various industries.
Top lawyers must possess a vast knowledge base, have exceptional memory, and outstanding logical and comprehension abilities.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chang Jinhui walked over with a cup of coffee.
Hearing the sound, he looked up at the transparent glass partition.
"It's raining!"
Wen Zong looked up and saw raindrops splashing on the glass partition, leaving large marks. One drop after another, the raindrops on the glass partition gradually became more and more dense.
"Hmm, judging from the situation, today's rain is quite heavy."
Chang Jinhui's gaze returned to his original position.
"Hey, we've all been pretty busy lately and haven't had a chance to ask you how the Huating Power case is going. Why haven't we heard anything about it?"
Wen Zong lowered his head and took a sip of coffee before saying, "Sheng Lun has been using various excuses to postpone the trial. It looks like it won't be scheduled until after the New Year."
"It's been dragging on for so long?"
Chang Jinhui looked at him in surprise: "What exactly is Sheng Lun thinking?"
Wen Zong slowly shook his head: "I don't understand."
Meanwhile, at this time, Shenglun International's Huating branch...
Philip sat at his desk, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window at the dark clouds that stretched out before him, with faint flashes of lightning above them.
His face darkened, and he turned to look at Bill, who was sitting with his head down to one side.
What exactly does headquarters mean?
"Newman said we should hold off for now, as headquarters needs more time to handle some matters."
A loud bang!
Phil slammed his fist down, causing the table to shake a few times.
"A cunning and treacherous wolf!"
"They think we don't know? All that 'handling some matters' is just an excuse!"
