Chapter 32: Drinking, Not Talking



Qi Yi seemed more like a spectator than the others. She even suspected that Qi Yi took the case just because she was too idle, and that's why he messed with her.

Now she's completely busy, never having a moment to spare.

There's still a car downstairs at Li Wan's house that hasn't been driven back yet. There are so many things going on, how is it possible to get everything done all at once?

She sighed as she finished her dessert, then stood up and looked at the scenery outside.

The panoramic view unfolded before her eyes, and suddenly she understood many things.

It's true that people should make more friends, especially now, the benefits of which become apparent.

When you encounter problems, you'll be able to see things more clearly.

It certainly wouldn't be like this now, where we have no idea who to turn to.

After staying in the office for a while, Tang Jinyu got up and left.

Staying in the office all the time isn't a good thing. In the end, you need to go out and see different scenery.

Now that I think about it, I realize that Tang Yuan's words did make some sense.

Her brother does have a longer-term vision than her, but it's useless.

These things are inappropriate for Tang Jinyu. If she could make friends, she wouldn't have waited until now.

In any case, it didn't make much difference to Tang Jinyu, so she didn't bother to care.

Even when Qi Yi mentioned this to her, she still felt that it was somewhat unnecessary.

Instead of focusing your energy elsewhere, it's better to simply do one thing.

Tang Jinyu is indeed short of energy right now, so the rest room in her office might come in handy.

Do you sleep in the office?

Tang Jinyu thought about it and found it quite interesting; she was actually quite looking forward to it.

After all, although he had thought about it many times before, he had never put it into practice.

I never expected my first attempt would be at this time.

It really is thanks to He Danqing that we'll have to thank them a lot in the future.

This opened up a new chapter in her life; in all her years as a lawyer, this was the first time she had ever experienced something so outrageous.

When Qi Yi arrived in the afternoon, he didn't see anyone. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was Tang Jinyu's style.

She's not the type to stay idle; she's always out looking for clues for a case.

This person is injured, yet he still has so much energy.

He stood at the office door for a while, then turned and left.

The people at the law firm were all busy and didn't have time to pay attention to what he was doing.

How should I put it, Qi Yi in the law firm doesn't quite act like a boss; he's incredibly relaxed.

He's always hanging around in front of people, as if he doesn't have any serious business to attend to.

But in reality, he was just more efficient at getting things done.

For example, he had arranged to meet He Danqing today.

This person suddenly had some idea again; when he sent the address via WeChat, he even added a question mark.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

If He Danqing asked him to meet, he couldn't refuse.

Given their relationship, they still had to have this meal.

So the first thing Qi Yi said when he arrived was, "You'd better have something important to tell me, or I'm not done with you."

He Danqing frowned. "Why are you so hostile? As brothers, can't I even contact you for no reason?"

"I can find her, but don't ask me anything about my junior, or I'll turn on you."

He had a hard time explaining what happened yesterday, and he couldn't handle it if it happened again.

"That's not entirely true."

"I was just in a bad mood, so I came to have a drink with you."

"What, you can't even fulfill this small request from your brother?"

He Danqing had prepared the wine beforehand, and when he arrived, she pushed it directly in front of him.

They have absolutely no sense of propriety.

Brothers are naturally open to talking about anything.

"Okay, since you've put it that way, it would be wrong of me not to accompany you."

"Fine, I'll drink it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Qi Yi took off his suit jacket and put it aside.

He unbuttoned two more buttons on his shirt, looking at He Danqing with a hint of provocation.

"I'm just worried that someone might not drink to the end and then act crazy when they're drunk. I won't take responsibility for that then."

He Danqing forced a bitter smile and said after a long while, "They say that drinking can cure a thousand sorrows, but I really don't know what to do."

"All the family matters are now on my shoulders."

"But I really don't know where to start."

He Danqing wasn't good at these things; he wasn't trained in management. With such a large family business on his shoulders, he had no choice.

He had no choice but to accept it.

"I think you should not rush things. I will try my best to help you, but it's hard to say how far we can go right now."

"But you also know that many people don't want to take this case because the chances of winning are slim, even though such a huge profit is right in front of them."

"They remained unmoved."

"I accepted the offer to uphold the brotherhood between us."

"If something really happens to the He family, I'll feel guilty towards you, my brother."

We've grown up together, after all. If we just stand by and watch him get into trouble without doing anything about it...

His conscience was troubled.

"Let's not talk about these things today, let's just drink."

"Let's drink to our hearts' content."

Qi Yi didn't talk about official business, and He Danqing didn't ask about Tang Jinyu's affairs; it seemed as if they had just come to drink.

They didn't think about anything other than drinking.

Later, when it got dark, the two of them were still there.

The bottles were scattered all over the floor. The private room was quiet; there was no one else there, and no one would disturb them.

For the first time in a long time, people I haven't seen sat down calmly and chatted about everything under the sun.

The discussion was all useless; they really didn't say anything else.

Later, when the two had drunk quite a bit, Qi Yi took them home.

After finally getting him into bed and watching him sleep soundly, I suddenly realized that He Danqing had also had a tough time.

A perfectly good artist suddenly faced a misfortune, and all the burdens fell on his shoulders.

If he wants to support his family, he has to put in far more effort than others.

But Qi Yi couldn't do anything about it; that was all he could do to help.

It would be difficult to bring the He family back to life.

Now, the only hope for a breakthrough is that Tang Jinyu makes some progress.

Qi Yi stood by the bed looking at him, then glanced at the already dark sky outside.

Everything has only just begun, and they still don't know who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Without finding the person behind them, it's difficult for them to gain the upper hand.
