The moment Qin Suisui saw Yu Chengjue, she knew her good mood for the evening had been ruined. After turning around, she went straight back to her car parked on the side of the road.
Just as I got into the car, as if by telepathy, my phone rang; it was a video call from my senior.
"Sui Sui!"
Huo Zhongyuan sat in the center of a conference room, wearing a bespoke business suit with one button undone at the collar, his eyes deep and warm.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?"
The background behind Sui Sui was a car, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Just got back, and you're already working this hard?"
No!
Qin Suisui's mood instantly brightened upon seeing Senior Brother Huo.
"I don't want to go back so early if you're not here. Look over there."
She turned the camera towards the night view of the riverbank.
"I drove to Binjiang Road by myself to clear my head, and I'm just about to head back!"
Huo Zhongyuan could feel the happiness in Sui Sui's voice, even through the screen.
His lips couldn't help but curve upwards, and the corners of his eyes curved into a smile.
"Sui Sui, I'll be going back in a few days, wait for me!"
"Um!"
Qin Suisui pouted and nodded. It seemed that she only showed her girlish side in front of Huo Zhongyuan.
Looking at the charming and lovely Sui Sui, Huo Zhongyuan suppressed the flutter in his heart and held back the words that wanted to slip out.
"Sui Sui, wait for me to get back, I have a surprise for you!"
He had endured enough. He hoped that every hopeful morning, he could open his eyes and see Sui Sui's beautiful face.
He longs for every beautiful night to be spent with the person he loves in his arms!
He wanted to give the woman he loved most a solemn proposal ceremony and a grand wedding.
"surprise?"
Even after hanging up the phone, Qin Suisui was still wondering what the surprise her senior brother had mentioned was.
Unable to guess and unwilling to guess, she shook her head, started the car, and drove home.
Because of the lawsuit filed by the Tonglu Group, the phone lines at the Law Offices of Roton Law Firm have been ringing off the hook in the last few days due to companies facing similar issues.
With Qin Suisui's debriefing and rehearsal upon her return that day, everyone gained their own understanding of the legal procedures and rules of Western law.
In particular, Wen Zong and Chang Jinhui handled more than 70% of the firm's cases.
She was about to go out in the afternoon when Chang Jinhui rushed out of the office.
"Lawyer Qin, I have some good news for you!"
"What's up?"
Qin Suisui stopped and looked at him with amusement.
"Attorney Qin, I took on the power-for-profit case against Helen Plastics yesterday. This morning I just sent a lawyer's letter to their counterpart in O. State, Eckert, and they have just replied to me, requesting a settlement!"
Chang Jinhui's voice trembled with surprise.
"A lawsuit victory that caused the opponent to flee at the mere sight of him?"
"We probably have to thank the Cestar Group!"
Qin Suisui curled her lips slightly. Xixida Group was an old-established enterprise in O·M from the last century, and its status in O·M was incomparable to that of a new company like Tonglu Group.
The lawsuit between the Tonglu Group and the Cistar Group has now escalated into a diplomatic incident. This news has been widely reported by some small media outlets in China and Asia, while Western media have remained collectively silent, as if the matter did not exist.
Although Western media did not report on it extensively, O·M Company already knew what it needed to know.
"With the precedent set by the Cecil Group, companies that are not as good as the Cecil Group will naturally think twice before acting."
"The accident that night was somewhat useful; it gave us a free publicity boost."
"That's great, it saves time and effort!"
Chang Jinhui looked at Qin Suisui with a delighted expression.
"Qin Lu, are you going out?"
"Yes! There's a case that requires me to meet with someone."
Seeing that his emotions were gradually calming down, Qin Suihui nodded slightly: "Keep up the good work, Chang Lu!"
She walked out of the office with a smile.
She left the law firm because of the case she took on last year involving Qiyang Town Hospital.
Hong Chang's words were mysterious, and he insisted that she meet someone alone.
She had a lot of work to do at her law firm and originally wanted to refuse, but Hongchang said that the case at Qiyang Town Hospital was no longer a simple civil dispute, but involved the darkest side of human nature.
If no one intervenes and takes action, it will be the ordinary people of Qiyang Town who suffer.
Hong Chang's words left her with no choice but to accept the invitation, leaving her with no option to refuse.
She drove for more than an hour to reach the address Hongchang had given her.
After parking the car and closing the door, she looked up at her surroundings.
This is considered an urban village in Huating, a rare example of a relatively dilapidated place.
Fortunately, there was a police station not far away, otherwise she wouldn't have even gotten off the bus.
She dialed Hong Chang's cell phone, and it was answered immediately after just one ring.
"Qin Lu, have you arrived?"
"We're here! Come out quickly!"
Qin Suisui shielded her eyes from the glaring sunlight, half-covering her eyelids as she surveyed her surroundings.
Hong Chang was probably staying at the small hotel in front of him. It was a three-story building, likely self-built, with a simple white-painted facade and an inconspicuous sign that read "Huating Louzhuang Hotel".
As she was looking around, a familiar figure ran out of the hotel, running towards her from a distance, calling out as he ran.
"Sister Qin!"
