"Wanwan, who are we waiting for here? This is a crucial time for you, is it alright for you to take leave?"

"Don't worry." Just then, a man in a suit and tie walked in.

“Miss Meng.” Xu Zhengjin extended his hand, and Meng Wan also stood up and shook his hand lightly.

"Attorney Xu, I didn't expect it to be you."

Xu Zhengjin spent his entire life studying all kinds of cases and laws, big or small. As long as he found a case interesting, he would continue to study it. He had a very high standard and was only interested in cases, hardly caring about anything else. This is why Meng Wan was surprised by his arrival.

“They’re interested, but you mentioned something else that I’m quite interested in, so I’ll just take it all on.” Xu Zhengjin glanced at Meng Zhiyuan beside him.

"I looked at your resume. The economic dispute case was very typical. I didn't expect you to be involved. Young people these days are really amazing."

"Attorney Xu, you flatter me. I was only responsible for some preliminary investigations, evidence collection, and data organization." Meng Zhiyuan was flattered. To meet a legend in the legal profession and receive such praise was something he never dared to dream of.

"But if it weren't for your last words that turned the tide, this case would probably have failed."

"Oh, the one you mentioned before about that really interesting case?" In just a few words, Meng Wan understood what the two were talking about.

"Yes, it's not difficult, but the other party's angle is very tricky. You can easily be led astray by them. If they hadn't submitted new evidence at the end, losing the case would have been inevitable."

"So which one should we address first?" Xu Zhengjin was always efficient and decisive, and even in casual conversation, he could quickly steer the conversation back on track.

"Let's go and get what we're owed first."

"Understood."

The two had already gotten up and started packing their things, and although Meng Zhiyuan followed suit, he couldn't hide his confusion.

"Wanwan, what do you mean? You really know someone from Libra, and it's Lawyer Xu! To resolve something? What kind of thing? You're not going to Zhuoqin, are you?" Meng Zhiyuan led the way, with Xu Zhengjin following behind.

"You don't need to say anything later, just stand there. After that, just behave normally. As for the rest, I'll explain it to you after everything is settled."

Meng Zhiyuan indicated that he understood and did not ask any further questions. The three of them soon arrived at the building.

"Didn't you say it was a small company? It's quite big, isn't it?" Meng Wan glanced at Meng Zhiyuan.

Meng Zhiyuan patted Meng Wan's head, "Most of the shops in the building are rented out individually; Zhuoqin only rented one of the shops inside."

It was a rare opportunity for Meng Wan to receive a science lesson, which she found quite novel.

"This is it." Meng Zhiyuan looked at the two characters 'Zhuoqin' reflected in the glass window, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He had devoted almost all his spare time during his four years of university to this place, only to receive the following reply: "Sorry, you are very capable, but Wei Song is the son of our biggest client."

"Wait for us on the first floor. It'll be done in ten minutes."

Meng Zhiyuan was about to go in when Meng Wan stopped him.

“Miss Meng, five minutes will be enough.” Xu Zhengjin loosened his tie; he had a natural sense of humor despite being nearly fifty years old.

Are you sure I don't need to go in with you?

"Well, your going in would actually be an honor for them."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Meng Zhiyuan actually listened to Meng Wan's words without uttering a single rebuttal. He didn't care at all whether she would make a big fuss or not, nor did he feel that making a scene for such a small amount of money was a shameful act.

For him, his sister cared about his earnings and worked hard for him. As the older brother, he was already ashamed that he couldn't help her. How could he possibly suppress his sister's positive attitude?

But before leaving, he called out to Xu Zhengjin.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you need?" Xu Zhengjin pushed up his glasses.

"No, Attorney Xu, I'll wait for you on the first floor. In the meantime, please look after my sister. It's fine if she makes a scene, just make sure she doesn't get hurt."

Xu Lu looked puzzled. "Miss Meng is much more composed than her peers. She wouldn't hit someone so easily."

Meng Zhiyuan's lips twitched. "I mean, I don't want my sister to get hurt."

"Ah!" Xu Lu nodded and patted Meng Zhiyuan on the shoulder. "Don't worry, even if this company were to explode, she would walk out unscathed."

“Ah…” Meng Zhiyuan said it was hard to comment.

"What did my brother say?" Meng Wan asked casually after Meng Zhiyuan left.

"It's obvious that your brother doesn't know you very well."

"Let's go in." Meng Wan touched her nose, wisely skipping the topic.

Xu Zhengjin nodded and rang the doorbell. The receptionist pressed the switch, and the glass door slowly opened.

"Hello, do you two have an appointment?"

"No." Xu Zhengjin's expression was extremely serious the moment he stepped in.

"What kind of business do you need?"

"I am Xu Zhengjin, a lawyer from Libra Law Firm! I am here today to discuss the matter of my client, Meng Zhiyuan, who took on a case at your firm, but did not receive the compensation he was entitled to despite successfully completing the case."

"Meng Zhiyuan?" Before the receptionist could speak, a young man walked over with a folder in his hand.

"Xiaomei, don't let just anyone in. What if it affects the guests who come to visit?"

"Oh?" Meng Wan smiled. "So you're the paratrooper, aren't you?"

Wei Song's expression changed. "Young lady, you'd better watch your words."

"Anyone with a bit of ability wouldn't be so blind as to let you replace Meng Zhiyuan. This company must be on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Who are you to Meng Zhiyuan?"

"Little sister, my dear." Meng Wan tilted her head, looking cute and lively.

Wei Song laughed, "Who do we have here? Meng Zhiyuan left quite decisively. I thought he was a tough guy, but it turns out he brought his sister over to back him up? He's completely disgraced as a man."

“Hey little sister, poor people should act like poor people. Making trouble over the final payment of a case, aren’t you ashamed? And who knows where you got a lawyer backing you up? Hey uncle, can you even read the words on the documents?”

"Thank you for your trouble, I saw it very clearly." Xu Zhengjin pushed up his glasses, showing no anger at being mocked.

"Xiaomei, please print this document."

During the stalemate, a middle-aged man put down the documents and walked away, but after taking only two steps, he turned back.

“Lawyer Hong, do you know who she is? It’s Meng…”

"Attorney Xu!" Attorney Hong exclaimed excitedly, a stark contrast to Wei Song's astonishment. "What brings you to our small company? Xiao Mei, quickly pour two cups of tea for my office. Attorney Xu, this way please."

When Hong Lu bowed and knelt to welcome Xu Zhengjin into the office, Meng Wan looked at Wei Song with an expression that clearly read, 'Blind guy.'
