Tang Jinyu felt that coming here today might have been a mistake, but she still stopped in her tracks.
"Before you, I handled a total of twenty-three cases, and about thirteen people wanted to send me home."
“They all used the same rhetoric, even the same excuse.”
Tang Jinyu paused for a moment, then continued, "I generally don't refuse other people's kindness, except for those with ulterior motives."
"Clearly, you are the latter."
He Danqing's face suddenly changed several colors, but finally seemed to return to calm. He opened his hand, with the car keys in his palm.
"I'm very serious."
He Danqing was rejected again, but as if she was still unwilling to give up, she asked persistently, "But you also said that out of twenty-three cases, only thirteen people wanted to send you, but there are still exceptions."
"Because the rest are female customers."
Tang Jinyu was on the verge of exploding at any moment, and it felt like she was just one step away from taking action.
"You call me a hypocrite, but as a gentleman, I have to prove myself. Since you refuse to get in my car, I'll compromise and walk with you."
After saying that, he actually put the keys away, a smile always on his face, not at all like he was angry. What he was thinking at the time was that although he didn't know why Tang Jinyu had misunderstood him, they still had a chance to cooperate, and there would always be a suitable opportunity in the future, so there was no need to rush.
"Whatever, you can come with me then."
"Then how about I treat you to dinner?"
If they won't let me deliver the person, surely I can have a meal with them?
"I'm on a diet, so I won't eat."
He Danqing looked Tang Jinyu up and down with a very serious expression and said something particularly irritating, "You're not fat at all."
What awaited him was a glare from Tang Jinyu, along with a word of advice.
"If you don't want to change your partner, you'd better keep quiet for the rest of the time."
He Danqing raised his hands in surrender, signaling himself to shut up, and then quietly followed behind Tang Jinyu.
Along the way, Tang Jinyu took out cat food from her bag and fed it to the stray cats wandering around.
That gentle tone was nothing like the one that had just rendered He Danqing speechless.
It's like they're completely different people.
He Danqing observed that she was very gentle with stray cats and also provided great help to elderly people passing by.
Just as Qi Yi described her, she was kind-hearted, but had a sharp tongue.
Perhaps this is also a kind of occupational hazard for her; she has a high level of knowledge and is also the youngest graduate student in her class.
After Tang Jinyu spoke, He Danqing remained silent and accompanied Tang Jinyu from the coffee shop to the residential area.
Tang Jinyu suddenly stopped. "Still following? You've been following me the whole way, aren't you tired?"
"I'm not tired. It's my honor to serve Attorney Tang."
Tang Jinyu was completely unaffected by the sarcasm in his words. "But I'm home now, you don't need to follow me anymore."
"Furthermore, I take every case I handle seriously and responsibly. Apart from that, I don't think I have anything that would give Mr. He the reason to plot against me."
"Men are not allowed in my house."
He Danqing took a step back, and Tang Jinyu turned around and disappeared into the dim streetlights, leaving behind her back.
He Danqing stood there, head down, seemingly lost in thought.
After thinking for a while, he took out his phone, which he hadn't used in a long time, and made a call. "I need Tang Jinyu's information."
Yes, all of them.
After hanging up the phone, He Danqing smiled knowingly.
His eyes no longer had that cynical look; they were clearer now.
After standing at the entrance of the residential area for a while, he leisurely turned around and left.
After Tang Jinyu got home, she threw off her shoes and plopped down on the sofa.
The bag she was carrying had long since been thrown away, and she buried her head in the fluffy toys on the sofa.
"Meow."
"Woof."
Tang Jinyu's family has a cat and a dog. The cat is a show-quality Ragdoll, practically a walking banknote.
It is said that it cost 30,000 RMB to be directly airlifted from overseas.
The dog is a German Shepherd, and nobody knew that Tang Jinyu, a girl, would own such a large dog.
The main thing is that these cats and dogs are not noisy at all. When Tang Jinyu is not at home, they can find food on their own and do not cause any trouble for their owners.
"Look at you two, how come you're so clueless about color recognition?"
"Meow."
Tang Jinyu, exhausted, fed the two small animals when Qi Yi's call came in.
His immediate question was, "How did the talks go?"
Tang Jinyu tilted her head, holding her phone between her shoulder and head, and opened the instant noodle packaging. "Not good at all. How do you know someone like that? He's obviously an incompetent good-for-nothing who only knows how to pick up girls."
"How could you say that? Our two families have been friends for generations. We can't just say we won't help if something happens. Besides, in the entire firm, you're the best at handling corporate disputes."
Tang Jinyu boiled water and poured it directly into the instant noodles.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Yi seemed to be on the same wavelength, saying, "You're eating instant noodles again. I've told you so many times that it's unhealthy. Come out, I'm downstairs at your place, I'll treat you to a late-night snack."
"No, I'm too lazy to move."
"Okay, if you're not coming down, I'll go up."
After hearing this, Tang Jinyu looked around at her own home and couldn't bear to look at it.
"Then wait a few minutes for me."
Tang Jinyu quickly changed her clothes, fixed her hair, grabbed her keys, and rushed downstairs.
"Senior."
Qi Yi paced back and forth downstairs, wearing a white shirt and a suit jacket draped over his shoulders.
"I came out, I thought you were going to stand me up again."
Tang Jinyu took two steps forward and said directly, "I wouldn't dare. Last time I stood you up, you just broke down the door and didn't give me any chance to object. Who knows what you'll do this time?"
"How dare you say that to me? You're such a workaholic, you didn't even know you were sick. If I hadn't gone in, you might have died from a high fever."
Tang Jinyu was speechless. Who else could possibly handle her?
It's probably this fellow student who has a higher degree and is more capable than her.
He is a genius in the legal profession, with strong logical abilities and a terrifying aura.
It's always a two-way battle; before the other side even opens their mouth, they've already lost half the battle.
Qi Yi didn't take Tang Jinyu to any five-star hotel; they just found a roadside food stall nearby and ordered some food.
Because he knew that if they were talking about work, no matter how late it was, as long as the phone reached Tang Jinyu, she would be able to wake up immediately from her deep sleep.
But it was precisely because of this that Qi Yi felt even more heartbroken.
She spent the best years of her youth working, and her meals were always just something to eat.
"Speaking of that dispute with the He family, how do you plan to handle it?"
Tang Jinyu looked up from the pile of meat skewers, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then slowly said, "The old rule is to advocate for peace talks. If the peace talks fail, we'll talk about it again."
"But as far as I know, the He family's competitor is no pushover either, so be careful."
Tang Jinyu nodded. "When you told me, I had already investigated the company's information, and it is indeed as you said, with a long history of misconduct."
