At the hotel.
Huang Bo changed into casual clothes and sneaked out.
Not long after, they arrived at the law firm.
This is the only law firm in Linjiang City.
"I've put in so much extra effort for Wang Qian, I'll have to make him pay me more after this is all over!"
Muttering to himself, Huang Bo immediately entered the law firm.
"Sir, are you facing a lawsuit?"
A beautiful woman in a women's suit approached with a sincere smile, "Which lawyer would you like to hire?"
"I'm looking for Yao Xishui," Huang Bo explained his purpose.
"Attorney Yao?"
The receptionist frowned and said awkwardly, "I'm so sorry, Attorney Yao is very popular and very busy. If you want to see her, you need to make an appointment in advance."
Then, the receptionist added, "How about I introduce you to some of the other lawyers in our firm? They are just as professional."
"No!"
Huang Bo waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument, "I'm Yao Xishui's boyfriend, and I want to see her right now!"
"Oh? Attorney Yao's boyfriend?"
The receptionist's expression turned somewhat strange.
"What's wrong?"
Huang Bo frowned and asked, "Do you think I don't look like it, or do you think I'm not?"
"Uh... this..."
The receptionist hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Sir, I've met Attorney Yao's boyfriend before, but it doesn't seem to be you, does it?"
"She has a new boyfriend?"
Huang Bo rubbed his forehead, a look of melancholy appearing on his face.
After a moment, he chuckled to himself, “That’s right, it’s been so long, it’s understandable that she couldn’t wait any longer and would look for someone else.”
"Sir, are you Attorney Yao's ex...boyfriend?" the receptionist asked cautiously.
"If she has a new boyfriend now, then I am indeed her ex-boyfriend!"
Huang Bo did not deny it, "Although she is just my ex-boyfriend, she would definitely be willing to see me. You should go and tell her that I have something urgent to see her about."
He paused, then added, "By the way, my name is Huang Bo. You just need to say my name, and she'll know."
“But Attorney Yao just went out to meet a client, and we don’t know when she’ll be back.”
"They went out?"
Disappointed, Huang Bo couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "The more anxious you are, the more trouble you get into."
"Sir, would you like me to make an appointment with Attorney Yao?" the receptionist asked again.
"No need, but please pass on a message to her for me."
"What did you say?"
"Just tell her that Huang Bo is waiting for her in room 520 of the Maple Leaf Hotel, and I won't leave until she comes!"
"That's it...?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"Uh... I'm afraid Attorney Yao will scold me if she hears this!"
The receptionist looked very embarrassed.
Although lawyer Yao Xishui has only been here for six months, she has already won the best lawyer award in her firm and her popularity has quickly surpassed that of the previous generation of top lawyers.
However, while Yao Xishui is famous, she has a terrible temper and often yells at people.
She, as a receptionist, often suffered as a result.
She had long harbored a psychological aversion to Yao Xishui; seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat.
"That bitch, she hasn't changed her temper at all!"
Seeing the receptionist's changing expression, Huang Bo said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, as long as you say exactly what I said, she won't scold you; she might even thank you."
"But……"
The receptionist wanted to say something, but stopped abruptly.
A five-yuan note was suddenly handed to her.
She was taken aback at first, but after realizing what she meant, she still shook her head. "Sir, what kind of person do you take me for? This isn't about money; I'm a person of principle..."
She froze halfway through her sentence.
Because Huang Bo handed over another ten yuan.
"Sir, please don't do this. Our law firm has regulations..."
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Attorney Yao..."
"Alright, considering your sincerity, even at the risk of being scolded, I will definitely pass on your message to Attorney Yao."
When Huang Bo received fifty yuan, the receptionist's unwavering principle finally changed.
"Thanks!"
Huang Bo nodded and turned to leave.
No sooner had he left than a man with a sinister appearance and thin lips approached from a short distance away.
"Xiao Yin, who was that man just now?"
Xiao Yin is the receptionist's nickname; everyone in the law firm is used to calling her that.
"Attorney Wang, this..."
Xiao Yin hesitated, looking troubled.
Because the lawyer in front of her was Yao Xishui's current boyfriend, whose full name was Wang Bo.
Of course, the so-called boyfriend was just Wang Bo's wishful thinking.
Yao Xishui, however, has never admitted it.
In order to exclude Yao Xishui's other suitors, Wang Bo unilaterally declared that he was already dating Yao Xishui before he had even officially won her over.
In addition, Wang Bo held a high position in the law firm, and many male colleagues who coveted Yao Xishui consciously backed down.
Despite this, Wang Bo never succeeded.
Despite his excessive flattery, Yao Xishui remained unmoved.
However, Wang Bo was thick-skinned. He fought on despite repeated failures, becoming more courageous with each setback, and persevering relentlessly, showing no sign of giving up until he won Yao Xishui over.
Everyone in the law firm knew that Wang Bo was pursuing Yao Xishui relentlessly. Even though he hadn't succeeded yet, everyone had already assumed that he was Yao Xishui's boyfriend.
