The official announcement on the third day of the Lunar New Year still caused a stir in Huating. Su Yue, who was on vacation abroad, immediately bought the nearest flight back to China.
Even Qin's father called the next day to inquire.
"Sui Sui, was what you posted on WeChat Moments yesterday afternoon true?"
Qin Zhen asked cautiously. He had been drinking at Wang Fang's parents' house yesterday noon and only sobered up this morning. Before he could even recover, Wang Fang showed him her phone.
That's when I found out that Sui Sui had a boyfriend.
It's true!
Qin Suisui had no intention of hiding anything from her father; she remained calm and composed in her tone.
"Then when will you bring him back so your father can see him?"
After speaking, Qin Zhen realized that his tone was somewhat humble, so he coughed lightly.
"Sui Sui, you're still young and don't understand men yet. Bring one back and Dad will help you see things better."
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I'll end up like my mother, unable to judge people?"
Qin Suisui interrupted his self-righteousness without any politeness, her tone becoming increasingly cold and hard.
"I have something to do right now, we'll talk about it another time."
She hung up the phone after saying that.
Thinking of what Qin's father had just said, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Most of the managers at Huating Enterprises arrive at the company early to handle business, and Qin Suisui is no exception.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Suisui arrived at the law firm on time. Several lawsuits she handled at the end of last year were scheduled to go to trial after the New Year.
After a few days of hustle and bustle, some new ideas emerged in her mind. She turned on her computer and quickly got to work.
On the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, a post on Huo's WeChat Moments made her suddenly realize that she had overlooked a subtle change in the lawsuit between Huating Power and Shenglun International.
She discovered from Huating Power's emails that, starting in 2013, Zhang Qian from Shenglun International Affairs Department had been in frequent contact with his classmate Carl from M.
When reviewing emails, Qin Suisui was struck by data with the same frequency.
Zhang Qian and Carl contacted each other on average once a month. Such frequent contact would normally be considered a close relationship. However, her investigation of Huating Power's senior executives revealed that in the past five years, she had not found any evidence that Zhang Qian had ever been to Carl's residence in New West, even though Zhang Qian had passed through the surrounding cities on several business trips.
To confirm the accuracy of her discovery, she dialed Dong Shu's cell phone directly.
"Happy New Year, Lawyer Qin!"
As soon as the call connected, Dong Shu greeted me warmly from the other end.
"Director Dong, Happy New Year!"
Qin Suisui offered her blessings with a smile, but then her smile gradually faded.
"Director Dong, I'm sorry to bother you. Is it convenient for us to talk now?"
From Qin Lu's tone, Dong Shu could tell that the other party was serious, so he quickly straightened up and said.
"Of course it's convenient, Qin Lu. Please wait a moment while I change the environment."
It was a bit noisy inside, so he got up and walked outside, opening the sliding door to the balcony.
"Qin Lu, that's enough, you can speak now."
"Director Dong, I need a list of all the expense receipts for Mr. Zhang from your Huating International Affairs Department in Country M from 2013 to 2018. Would that be convenient?"
Dong Shu was startled, but quickly regained his composure: "Zhang Qian's expense reimbursement vouchers from M country?"
"Yes, including photocopies of all receipts for accommodation, transportation, and meals."
"This concerns the group's finance department. Let me think about how I can obtain this information without alerting Zhang Qian."
Dong Shu agreed without hesitation. Qin Lu must have noticed something when he mentioned these things.
Before the Lunar New Year, he received a reply from the group's CEO that the group would definitely launch an investigation into Zhang Qian after the holiday. If Qin Lu could find out Zhang Qian's illegal activities outside in advance, it would coincide with the group's work and could be considered as getting rid of this parasite in advance.
"Qin Sui, how about this, we'll officially start work tomorrow. Wait for my news tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, thank you, Director Dong."
Having received the answer she wanted, Qin Suisui smiled.
"You're too kind, Lawyer Qin. You're actually doing the company a favor in a roundabout way. I'm grateful to you!"
Dong Shu said with a smile, then suddenly remembered a message Qi Bei had sent him yesterday afternoon.
Since the person involved happened to be there, he asked with a smile, "Lawyer Qin, I heard from that kid Qi Zheng that you and Huo Zhongyuan, the president of Jiaming Investment Bank, have officially announced your relationship?"
"Yes."
Qin Suisui said frankly.
She had anticipated that there would be various opinions after she got together with Senior Brother Huo.
This includes curiosity, such as that of Dong Shu.
"Qin Lu, then I must congratulate you properly. Huo Zhongyuan from Jiaming Investment Bank is the most eligible bachelor in Huating."
Once Dong Shu received a reply from the person involved, it was definitely a done deal; the matter was approved.
"However, your abilities are evenly matched! A perfect pair, both talented and beautiful, truly evenly matched, hahaha~"
Huo Zhongyuan has a really sharp eye. After being single for so many years, he took a liking to Qin Lu after she had only been back for half a year. No wonder she built such a huge business empire at such a young age.
Even after hanging up the phone and going inside, he was still shaking his head and sighing.
"Old Dong, what's making you so happy?"
He was having a gathering at home with several close friends when one of them, seeing him like this, couldn't help but ask him something.
After sitting down, Dong Shu chuckled and looked at his old friend.
Do you know Huo Zhongyuan from Jiaming Investment Bank?
Qin Suisui hung up the phone, but Dong Shu's inexplicable laughter still echoed in her ears. The laughter seemed contagious, making her unable to help but smile and let out a laugh.
After laughing, she continued working. She was the only one in the entire law firm today, and tomorrow would be her official start date.
I was busy until it got dark, when my phone rang and I was jolted awake from my work.
She looked at the flashing screen on the desktop; it was a video call invitation from Senior Brother Huo.
She suddenly realized that she had promised Senior Brother Huo yesterday that she would have dinner at his house tonight. She glanced at the time guiltily; it was almost six o'clock.
I quickly picked up my phone and tapped the video call invitation.
"Senior Brother Huo!"
She waved awkwardly at the screen.
Seeing this, Huo Zhongyuan on the other end of the video smiled helplessly.
"Are you off work yet?"
Qin Suisui: "Just getting ready to leave work!"
"Come down, I'll be waiting for you downstairs!"
Judging from the background of the video, Senior Brother Huo should be in the car, and he is downstairs. This realization made her smile involuntarily.
"Wait for me for ten minutes."
Qin Suisui hung up her phone, quickly tidied up the documents on her desk, locked them in the safe, turned off the lights, and left the law firm.
As soon as she stepped out of Yuanxing International, she saw her senior brother Huo leaning against the car door. The streetlights generously shone on Huo Zhongyuan's tall and upright figure. Just by standing there motionless, he exuded an imposing aura.
Huo Zhongyuan wasn't wearing a coat, just a warm gray sweater. The moment he saw Qin Suisui, a smile appeared on his usually cold and hard face.
"Sui Sui!"
He took a few steps forward, naturally put his arm around Qin Suisui's slender waist, led her around to the passenger side, opened the car door, watched her get in, then closed the car door and got into the driver's seat.
