Qin Suisui's initial bottom line was to maintain the original compensation amount, but Director Song of Jingzhou Hospital had a wild idea and dared to ask for 200,000 yuan. So don't blame her for being ruthless.
She slowly shook her head: "Lawyer Wang, it's not that I don't want to give you face, I have no choice..."
The driver's legs, the lawyer's mouth—we're all lawyers, and when it comes to being cunning and manipulative, Qin Suisui believes no one in this office can rival her.
"If it were two months ago, 1.8 million would have been fine, but now two months have passed, and my client has suffered further physical and mental torment, which is equivalent to secondary injury!"
"Moreover, there's a reason why I asked for two million. As you all know, Fan Jing's case and that of Jingzhou Hospital have attracted the attention of higher authorities. Recently, many media outlets have wanted to interview Fan Jing and her husband, but I made them refuse them all."
"With the rapid development of media and information nowadays, Fan Jing and the others have long harbored resentment towards me, believing that I have failed to protect their vital interests."
Qin Suisui simply tore off this fig leaf. They were already aware of the situation. It wasn't that they didn't want to pursue the matter to the end, but rather that they wanted to save face for each other.
Many people in the Health Department have their eyes on the position of Director Wen of Jingzhou Hospital. She wanted to ask Song Jianan who dared to obstruct the negotiations at this moment, whose influence did he rely on?
If Dean Wen knew that his words and actions might cause trouble, he could fire him immediately.
"Director Song, what do you think?"
If it weren't for Wen Yize's sake, Wang Jieming would have preferred to stand idly by. But upon hearing Qin Lu's threatening words, he immediately pushed the decision-making power onto Song Jianan.
"I?"
Song Jianan gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while, until there was nowhere left to avoid, before saying coldly, "I'm going out to make a phone call."
Watching Song Jianan walk heavily and angrily out of the office, Wang Jieming spoke with a mocking tone.
“Lawyer Qin, the man who just went out is Dean Wen’s brother-in-law.”
Qin Suisui smiled faintly, her voice cold.
"Those are members of the royal family! We mustn't neglect them today,"
"you do not say!"
The crowd chuckled softly.
Song Jianan went out and came back in a short while later.
He closed the door behind him and looked at Qin Suisui with a stern face.
"Lawyer Qin, our Jingzhou Hospital agrees to your request, but we need to sign some supplementary confidentiality agreements."
"Of course, no problem!"
Now that both parties had reached an agreement, Wang Jieming had his assistant print out a draft. After confirming that the content was correct and agreeing on a time for the formal signing, he left with his team.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Song Jianan spat out a disgusted "Pah!"
He said in a harsh tone, "The head of a foreign law firm dares to act so arrogantly in Huating. I'd like to see how a woman like her can develop business in Huating?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jieming glanced at him briefly, said nothing more, and instead looked up at the fluctuating elevator numbers.
The elevator was silent for a moment, even the few people accompanying the Jingzhou hospital staff lowered their heads and remained silent.
Song Jianan's face was ashen, his cheeks burning. He tried to take deep breaths to relieve the pressure in his chest.
Qin Suisui didn't care about what would happen to the people from Jingzhou Hospital after they returned. She believed that someone who could become the hospital director was definitely not someone who acted impulsively or was easily swayed by others. She believed that Wen Yize would make a rational choice.
Fan Jing's lawsuit is nearing its end, and in a few days she plans to hand over all the follow-up matters to Cheng Yifei, a newcomer at the law firm.
It's standard practice in their law firm to have newcomers handle the final stages of litigation, as this saves time and allows them to familiarize themselves with the litigation process.
Time flies, and on the day before New Year's Day, Mu Jinjin and Yang Lu finally arrived in Huating.
She simply couldn't find the time, so she had Su Yue drive to the airport alone to pick them up.
After Qin Suisui finished processing the documents, she glanced at her phone and saw that it was almost seven o'clock.
She quickly finished processing the documents at hand, walked out of the office, and saw Yue Hongxin working with her head down.
"Assistant Yue, I'm taking tomorrow off. Call me if you need anything!"
Yue Hongxin: "No problem, Lawyer Qin!"
Qin Suisui nodded slightly to her and quickly walked towards the elevator.
Considering she might be drinking that evening, she asked the law firm driver, Xiao Xu, to take her to the restaurant.
Before even entering the private room that Yueyue had reserved, I could faintly hear familiar laughter and chatter in the corridor.
"My dear sister, it's been so long!"
She pushed the door open abruptly and looked at the three people who were already huddled together.
"Sui Sui~"
Yang Lu pushed away the two people on top of her, rushed over and hugged Qin Suisui tightly: "Suisui, I missed you so much. You heartless bad person, how could you bear not to come back for five years?"
As Yang Lu spoke, her eyes reddened, and she pouted with a look of accusation.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. Sui Sui finally came back."
Mu Jinjin stepped forward and gently embraced the two of them. Looking at their familiar faces, her nose tingled slightly, and her emotions surged as she thought of the past.
"Stop getting sentimental, everyone, take your seats!"
Su Yue sat in the main seat, tapping the cutlery, her laughter unrestrained.
"Cheer up, everyone! Today is the day when the four of us from our dorm reunite in Huating after five years. It's a rare opportunity, so let's all drink until we drop, especially Qin Suisui. You'll have to punish yourself with three drinks."
I'll drink it!
Qin Suisui's usually calm heart was stirred by this rare atmosphere.
"Sure! Our Sui Sui is going to drink herself into a stupor tonight!"
"I'll have my dad's driver deliver two bottles of his prized wines later. They're genuine vintage wines from a traditional cellar, not the kind of blended wines you find on the market."
