"This was my fault."
"I promise I won't talk to him about you again, but you know, some people won't listen to me no matter what."
They were just talking about He Danqing, and it's obvious who they were referring to.
Tang Jinyu didn't have much interest in arguing with Qi Yi about who was right and who was wrong in this matter, since they hadn't discussed this issue at the beginning.
So no matter what, you can't really blame him. He let it slip, and Tang Jinyu himself couldn't guarantee that he could have hidden himself better.
“Senior, you should know that I am a person who keeps my personal and professional life very separate. I don’t want to have any other dealings with my employer during the handling of this case.”
This has always been her rule of doing things.
It is absolutely impossible for her to abandon her original bottom line just because the other party is He Danqing.
If that's the case, Tang Jinyu might as well quit being a lawyer.
"I know."
"Do you think I don't know your temperament and character?"
"This really was an accident."
"I just think it's fate that you two met, and it's not a bad thing for you to get to know each other better."
Qi Yi shook his head; this matter was probably beyond explanation.
How can I tell Tang Jinyu that he wasn't actually on He Danqing's side?
It felt like the more he explained, the more he was just making excuses.
He clearly didn't think that way at all, but he certainly couldn't say that in front of Tang Jinyu.
He sighed softly, feeling that he had been sighing more and more often since taking on He Danqing's case.
I'm really worried.
First of all, the case is still unresolved, and figuring out where to begin is a sword hanging over their heads.
Until now, with the knife still in hand, none of them dare to say that victory is assured.
The fact that everyone in the firm is busy with their family matters is enough to demonstrate their current attitude.
but.
Qi Yi had read the information and knew it was not simple.
Tang Jinyu has been stuck at this stage for several days because of this matter, and there has been no progress.
Given her professional skills and abilities, she shouldn't have done that.
"I feel better when I don't see him, but the more I see him, the more my head aches."
It's like your employer is standing right in front of you; he doesn't even need to say a word, and you'll feel that this matter won't be easily forgotten.
In short, they are now in a precarious position.
Everyone knew that their law firm had taken the case, and many were waiting to see them fail.
It's often said that competition among peers boils down to patience.
We're all in the same industry, so some things are obvious at a glance.
If this case were really that easy, the He family, with their immense wealth, would probably have been scrambling to get it.
Will it be their law firm's turn?
Qi Yi could easily imagine that they were overjoyed to see their law firm take on the case.
Previously, they had no idea where to start, but they never expected that they would be courting death.
The onlookers were naturally relaxed.
Nothing is more pleasant than not having to lift a finger; the feeling of winning without bloodshed is simply wonderful.
They don't have to do anything; they just need to watch them ruin themselves.
"That's why I really don't know what to say to you right now, senior."
"Don't you know the situation at our law firm, even if others don't?"
"With so few people, we need to plan carefully to take on such a big case."
"That means you're the only one willing to take this case."
Tang Jinyu glanced at him again before casually asking, "Is it for brotherhood, or something else?"
She could never see through him. If you say Qi Yi is amazing, then he certainly is.
It is unique in both vision and skill.
Tang Jinyu admitted that he is a very talented person, both in the legal field and in management.
But that doesn't mean he can act recklessly.
Tang Jinyu scoffed at his reckless behavior, but there was nothing she could do.
She wasn't the final decision-maker at the law firm; she was just an employee.
Having little say in the matter, she was even less inclined to put effort into these things.
Anyway, with Qi Yi in the law firm, it's unlikely to fail.
She only does what she likes and doesn't concern herself with anything else.
Even now, Qi Yi is standing in front of her, telling her a bunch of random things.
She didn't take it to heart at all; she didn't listen carefully at all.
Anyway, Qi Yi didn't come here to ask her to make a decision; he just wanted to explain He Danqing's situation.
"I have my reasons, of course. You rarely ask about these things, so why did you suddenly ask today?"
"Just asking."
Tang Jinyu took out a spoon from the bag and scooped out the dessert, her tone slowing down considerably.
"In the end, it has nothing to do with me."
"I'm only concerned with the case at hand."
"It was just a casual question."
Tang Jinyu's every movement exuded elegance; she truly seemed indifferent to everything except the case.
Qi Yi knew that she didn't really want to hear an answer; she just happened to be there, so she asked the question.
"You're lucky you didn't know."
"Knowing more isn't necessarily a good thing. You understand this better than I do, so things are fine as they are now."
Qi Yi turned around and sat down on the sofa, and couldn't help but ask, "So, how's the case data you're collecting coming along?"
"No good, I have no clue what to do, it feels like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"Everyone says that the person behind the scenes is cautious, and now it seems that they are absolutely right."
Looking back now, Tang Yuan's words to her seem to have foreseen this very situation.
But.
She was so confident in front of Tang Yuan; if she backed down now, she would be ridiculed.
She absolutely did not want to lose face.
"really."
"Do you think my brother doesn't know?"
"However, he is in the open, while that person is in the shadows. Even if we want to investigate, it won't be that easy."
"To be able to do things this well and without any leaks, it's clear that they had made thorough preparations long ago."
Qi Yi frowned and hesitated before saying, "Actually, if it really doesn't work out and you're planning to give up, I'll talk to him. You don't need to get involved."
This is what he can do for Tang Jinyu. If she finds it difficult, then he will take care of this potentially offensive task.
Anyway, Qi Yi has been playing the villain for a long time, so he's the perfect person to do these things.
The head of a law firm is naturally there to lead the charge.
That makes perfect sense.
It's simply that Tang Jinyu herself had different ideas about these things.
"Not for now."
“I’m the kind of person who won’t turn back until I hit a wall. I’ve only gotten this far, and you’re already telling me to give up? It would be such a laughing stock if word got out.”
When she first became famous, she was the center of much discussion.
Now that they hear she's the one who took on the case, there's noticeably less attention being paid to her.
Tang Jinyu shouldn't be afraid, she just occasionally finds it annoying.
