The next morning, just as the Maine Attorney General's office opened, Qin Suisui received a supplementary agreement handwritten by Albert in his office.
After completing the necessary procedures, she handed over the follow-up information on Steve's case to her colleagues in Maine and booked the earliest flight back to Manston that evening.
Lily's boyfriend, William, was waiting for her at the airport and then drove her home.
Goodnight, Lily and William!
Goodnight, Sheffield! See you tomorrow!
Lily leaned out and waved vigorously at Qin Suisui.
Qin Suisui closed the door, watched the car drive away from the street corner with a smile, and then turned and went into the apartment.
"Beep beep!"
The fingerprint lock opened with a click. She pushed open the door, kicked off her high heels, threw down her luggage, and walked barefoot into the living room, collapsing onto the sofa.
She rubbed her temples, her eyes showing weariness. She half-covered her eyes as she looked at the bright lights outside the French windows, which were as bright as day in the night. She let out a long sigh, and only after relaxing her whole body did she feel the soreness all over her body, as if it had fallen apart.
Since taking on Steve's case, she hadn't had a proper rest for about seven or eight days, and her total sleep time didn't exceed twenty hours in order to gather useful information from the Maine Attorney General's database.
She was exhausted lying on the sofa. She closed her eyes and rested for a while before struggling to get up.
She picked up her change of clothes and went to the bathroom. After filling the bathtub with hot water, she poured in the prepared rosé wine and slowly lay down in the tub. The temperature was just right, and the slightly tipsy feeling made her groan with comfort, enjoying the ease after winning the case.
Half asleep, she felt the water in the bathtub gradually getting cold. She forced herself to get up, wipe herself clean, and then threw herself heavily onto the soft bed, quickly falling asleep.
Qin Suisui slept soundly and thoroughly. When she woke up in the morning, all her fatigue had vanished. Looking at her energetic self in the mirror, she clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
"Go for it, Qin Suisui!"
……………………
As soon as Qin Suisui reached the top floor, Joyce's secretary, Miss Kaman, stood up and looked at her with an unprecedentedly warm smile.
"Sheffield, good morning! The boss is waiting for you in the office!"
"Good morning, Kaman, I'll be right in."
Qin Suisui nodded to Kaman and pushed open Joyce's office door.
“Oh, my dear warrior Sheffield, I knew it was a wise decision to let you take over Steve’s case.”
Joyce walked out from behind her desk, beaming, and went to Qin Suisui, opening her arms to give her a tight hug.
“I can imagine that Albert must be feeling incredibly conflicted right now. Sheffield, you are the second person who made Albert swallow his anger.”
He half-embraced Qin Suisui and led her to the sofa, where she sat down.
Qin Suisui: "Professor Joyce, who was the first senior who made Albert swallow his anger?"
Joyce turned and leaned against the desk, winked at her, and laughed heartily.
“Sheffield, of course, is your dear teacher Joyce.”
Qin Suisui raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile spreading across her eyes: "I thought I had defeated you!"
"Hahaha!"
Joyce threw her head back and laughed, her eyes slightly moist: "Professor Joyce is waiting for that day."
"However, Sheffield, I have a decision that may require your cooperation."
After chatting and laughing, Joyce told Qin Suisui his decision seriously.
"I want you to go to Z country to be in charge of the Pacific region affairs of the Law Offices ...
"Professor Joyce, do you mean I should go to Huating City to replace Parker in the Pacific region of Rowdon?"
Qin Suisui looked at the person opposite her in surprise.
Joyce's eyes were sincere, and her graying temples only added to her charm.
He is a senior partner at the law firm, Qin Suisui's doctoral advisor at Harvard Law School, and also owns shares in the Law Offices of R.T. The decision, coming from his mouth, must have been approved by the board of directors and other senior partners.
"Yes, dear Sheffield, this is the best position I have ever fought for for you, and of course, it also depends on your outstanding performance in the business of Westmoo Company in F. Country. You have not only helped old Claire keep Westmoo Company, which he founded, but also saved our client, Mr. Steve, from imprisonment."
“We reached a consensus last night! Sheffield, this is an opportunity for you. You should know that with your background, it’s practically impossible for you to be promoted to senior partner at Lawton.”
Joyce said with regret that Sheffield was an invaluable partner in terms of both talent and ability, but unfortunately she was from China. No matter how outstanding she was, at the Law Offices of Rhodes, Sheffield would only be able to reach the rank of senior partner.
His partners at the Law Offices would never choose a lawyer with a Z country background as a senior partner, unless the Law Offices were willing to cut ties with all clients related to the M country government and military-industrial enterprises.
Joyce looked at his beloved student, whom he had personally trained, with a smile, but with a hint of regret in his heart. He was truly reluctant to let Sheffield leave Manston and his side.
Five years ago, Sheffield entered Harvard Law School, and soon after, she came into his sights.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to this pretty little girl from the East. However, as the lessons progressed, he discovered that no matter what case or legal clause he mentioned in his lectures, little Sheffield could immediately cite the source and add her own suggestions and insights.
Sheffield is like a super encyclopedia, with an amazing memory and an extremely rich knowledge base.
During the lecture, the other party could always easily take over his topic and talk with him about the highlights of each case.
