Chapter 22 Best Friend



Chang Jinhui frowned and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't recall any alumni who was so powerful. He shook his head.

"I can't believe it. I know most of the outstanding students from the same cohorts at Aurora University, but none of them are this outstanding."

Wen Zong glanced at Duo Ya expressionlessly, and seeing that Duo Ya was secretly smiling with her head down, he gestured to Hong Tao with his eyes.

Hong Tao received the message immediately.

He coughed lightly: "Doya..."

No, I don't know.

Doya picked up the tray, stood up, glanced at them sideways, and turned to walk away leisurely.

"Hong Tao, you're no good. You still haven't caught up with Duoya."

Chang Jinhui glanced at Hong Tao with disdain and waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, everyone disperse. If we delay any longer, Parker's internal call will come through."

"I have another client coming in half an hour, so I'll leave now." With that, he was the first to leave the break room.

Unable to glean any useful information from their gossip, the group, bored, dispersed and returned to their respective offices.

In Parker's office, Qin Suisui and Parker had a brief conversation. She picked up her phone, glanced at the time, and stood up.

“Mr. Parker, I have an appointment at noon, so let’s stop here for now. We’ll discuss the details next Monday when I officially start work.”

"no problem!"

Parker stood up and stood in front of Qin Suisui, looking regretful: "I was thinking of inviting Sheffield downstairs for a working lunch at noon."

“Mr. Parker, we have many opportunities to have working meals together. Now that I’ve taken over from Rowdon, there are still many things I need to learn from you.”

Parker laughed loudly: "Sheffield, I'll see you out."

Before Qin Suisui could refuse, he led the way out of the office and walked outside with her.

"Qin Lu, have you gone back?"

Doya quickly got up, jogged over, and followed the two of them outside.

“Law Qin, where are you going? I’ll drive you.”

Parker: "Yes, Sheffield, I've arranged for Doya to stay with you these next few days. You can ask her to do anything if needed."

"No."

Qin Suisui smiled and declined, "I need to take care of some personal matters in the next few days, so Duoya doesn't need to come with me."

Parker was about to speak when Qin Suisui smiled and refused, "It is indeed a private matter, and it is inconvenient for me to come along."

She turned to look at Doya: "Doya, thank you!"

The elevator doors opened with a "beep," and Qin Suisui stepped into the elevator, turning around to smile and say goodbye to Parker and Duoya.

After leaving the Law Offices of Ralph and Dunn, she took a taxi to the address Su Yue had given her at the end of last year and arrived at Su Yue's company building.

"Huating New World".

Qin Suisui confirmed the address, walked to the reception room in the lobby, sat down, and picked up her phone to invite Su Yue to video chat.

Su Yue retrieved the documents Wang Lu needed from the printing room and hurried towards Wang Lu's office, muttering to herself as she did so.

“That bastard Wang, whenever it comes to serious business, he just orders me out to do some repetitive and useless work, afraid that if I learn it, he’ll lose his job.”

"Only a bastard would resort to such cunning to consolidate his position."

She joined De Cheng Law Firm last year and was assigned to work under Wang Jiang. She thought she could learn from the old man's experience, but who knew she would encounter such a person.

She has been working at the law firm for almost two years, and she is still doing clerical work.

The thought that her career as a practicing lawyer seemed so far away filled her with resentment.

Just as she was feeling resentful, her phone rang. Sui Sui had sent her a video call invitation. She couldn't help but smile and immediately put the documents in her hand on the table next to her and clicked on the video call.

"Sui Sui, darling, how long has it been since you last contacted me?"

Seeing Sui Sui's beautiful and clear eyes, Su Yue felt wronged. Her eyes reddened as she stared at the person in the video, but...?

She frowned; Sui Sui's background seemed so familiar.

"Sui Sui, where are you now?"

Qin Suisui smiled sweetly.

Guess where I am?

It's been so long since they last video chatted, and Su Yue is still the same; whenever she sees her, she always has a bunch of complaints.

"Where are you?"

Su Yue leaned closer to the camera and looked at it carefully, then suddenly her eyes widened slightly.

"ah!"

She pointed to the background of the video and exclaimed, "This is our lobby on the first floor! Sui Sui, you're back!"

Seeing Sui Sui nod with a smile, she ignored the documents left on the table and ran towards the elevator.

She ran past Wang Jiang, ignoring his calls from behind, and went straight into the elevator.

Wang Jiang opened the door, smiled, and said, "Ms. Liu, you can bring the rest of the documents next Monday. You don't need to worry about anything else."

He stood smiling to the side, wanting the customer to go first, but as soon as he stepped into the aisle, he was almost bumped into by Su Yue, who ran past him like a gust of wind.

His expression turned cold. He called out a few times, but seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, he frowned and watched the departing figure.

Su Yue was the first to rush out of the elevator and jog to the lobby, where she immediately saw Qin Suisui standing at the front desk.

"Sui Sui!"

She rushed forward, opened her arms, and hugged Qin Suisui tightly, her voice trembling with tears.

"Sui Sui, you're finally back!"

Su Yue buried her head in Qin Suisui's neck, tears streaming down her face, soaking Qin Suisui's collar.

Qin Suisui patted her shoulder and said softly, "Don't cry, people are already watching us."

"Um!"

Su Yue lowered her head and dabbed her eyes with the back of her hand, then looked up and smiled.

"Come on, let's sit across the street for a while."

Su Yue led Qin Suisui to Baiyue, a shopping mall opposite Xintiandi. Baiyue is a shopping mall that is affiliated with Xintiandi. It gathers specialties from all over the world. You can find almost anything you can think of here.

They found a private kitchen with a high degree of privacy. After sitting down, Su Yue looked at Sui Sui's still delicate face and touched her own face with envy.

"Sui Sui, you haven't changed at all!"

Qin Suisui: You too, you haven't changed much since college.

Su Yue always dressed casually, with her hair down to her shoulders, and her smiling face was full of collagen.

She rolled her eyes: "I'm almost driven crazy by this. I even found a gray hair a few days ago."

She pouted and squeezed her cheeks. Since joining Decheng Law Firm, her work had never been satisfactory. Every day she was surrounded by unpleasant things. Just thinking about Wang Jiang's greasy face made her feel psychologically disgusted.

"Let's not talk about these upsetting things today. Why didn't you tell me you were back?"

Su Yue gave Qin Suisui a reproachful look. With Suisui back, she had company, and her mood gradually improved, a smile appearing in her eyes.

Qin Suisui smiled brightly: "I wanted to give you a surprise."

Su Yue smiled and her eyes crinkled. After graduating from university, the four of them in the dormitory went their separate ways. Sui Sui went to Manston, Jin Jin and Xiao Lu went to Taipei, and only she stayed in Huating.

The friends she made after graduating from university always lacked a certain affinity. With heavy academic workload, she was too lazy to maintain relationships, and gradually she had no close friends left.

She hesitated and asked, "Sui Sui, are you still going back to Manston?"

Qin Suisui blinked and said with a smile, "I'm not going back. I'll be staying in Huating from now on."
