Investigation No. 411
Xu Yang withdrew his gaze and began to sweat profusely. Throughout the entire meeting, Jiang Yuxu was in a state of low pressure.
After the meeting, Xu Yang followed Jiang Yuxu to the office to get the case information. He was on high alert, afraid that he would say something wrong and offend him.
After getting the documents, Xu Yang was about to leave when Jiang Yuxu stopped him. "Send me the minutes of the meeting as soon as possible. Please coordinate with NV's development team on any issues raised during the meeting."
Development team...wouldn't that mean he should go talk to Gui Qing?
Previously, Jiang Yuxu had personally handled all of this coordination work. Although Xu Yang would also follow up on the work, he was not particularly familiar with the content of the case.
Xu Yang looked a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yuxu didn't hear his reply for a while. He looked up and saw his expression and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
Xu Yang coughed and said stubbornly, "Lawyer Jiang, you've been handling the NV case. I don't know much about it."
He paused for a few seconds and said, "Even if you and Qing Gong have had a private conflict, it's better to be cautious about work matters."
"Who told you that I had a conflict with her?" Jiang Yuxu asked back.
His tone of voice sounded flat and his emotions seemed stable, but Xu Yang's first feeling was that he was angry.
This made him a little hesitant to answer this question.
Xu Yang had no choice but to evade the main point and say, "Lawyer Jiang, if you're busy, I can go and liaise with the parties involved in your other cases."
"I didn't have any conflict with her, you misunderstood." Jiang Yuxu seemed not to hear what he said and continued with the previous topic.
Xu Yang was choked.
He had worked under Jiang Yuxu for so long, but he had never heard Jiang Yuxu explain anything.
Jiang Yuxu has never been the kind of person who would explain to others, and he doesn't care at all about what others think of him.
This time, he explained it twice for the first time, just to prove that he really did not quarrel with Qing Gong.
But this repeated explanation was really an attempt to cover up the truth, and it only confirmed the fact that there was a conflict between the two of them.
"Send the meeting minutes as soon as possible, and remember to give her a copy. You are right, I will handle the case myself, you go and do your business." When Xu Yang was speechless, Jiang Yuxu said another sentence.
Xu Yang: “…” Oh, so he was convincing himself again.
When Xu Yang came out of Jiang Yuxu's office, his mind was still a mess.
Why did he feel that Jiang Yuxu said he would give the job to him just to listen to his advice?
Is it true that even a dignified lawyer like Jiang Lu needs to seek approval from others and brainwash himself?
He and Qing Gong don't really have some explosive relationship, right?
Xu Yang was able to become the second-in-command of the law firm, so he must have an extraordinary and keen sense of smell.
After returning to the office and sending the email, Xu Yang sat in front of the computer and carefully recalled the details of Jiang Yuxu and Gui Qing's interactions.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong between the two of them.
Once before, he left something at the law firm after get off work and drove over to pick it up at nine o'clock.
When I was about to go upstairs, I ran into Jiang Yuxu and Gui Qing coming down the elevator together.
At that time, the two of them were in separate corners of the elevator, quite far apart, and looked clearly separated, so he didn't think much about it, just thinking that they happened to be working overtime and bumped into each other.
That seemed to be more than a year ago.
Xu Yang shuddered.
Didn't it start at that time?
——
After Jiang Yuxu received the meeting minutes email, he opened the document and organized the work that needed to be discussed with Gui Qing.
There wasn't a lot of content, and he had always been efficient at work, so it didn't take long for him to list the projects one by one.
When Jiang Yuxu was thinking about whether to send it to her via email or WeChat, he received an email from Lin Di, a subordinate of Gui Qing.
Gui Qing was also copied on the email, which roughly meant that Gui Qing would be in the laboratory doing debugging in the next two weeks and would have no time, so she would be coordinating the work between Gui Qing and Heng'an on her behalf.
Jiang Yuxu looked at Lin Di's email, rubbed his temples, stared at the computer screen for almost three minutes, and then replied with the content he had just sorted out.
Gui Qing was also copied.
After replying the email, Jiang Yuxu took off his glasses and put them next to his hand, pinching his eyebrows with his fingers.
Gui Qing had been busy in the laboratory before, but she never missed the opportunity to talk to him about work. In fact, most of the time, she took the initiative to come to him.
She is very capable at work and time coordination is her strong point. As long as she is willing, these things do not need to be handed over to others.
The only explanation for her doing this now is that she doesn't want to see him - even at work, she wants to minimize interactions.
Realizing this, Jiang Yuxu felt even more stuffy in his chest, irritated, and a little angry.
Is she being so "avoidant" now because of the man next to her? Is she afraid of being misunderstood by him?
Oh.
When he thought of that man, Jiang Yuxu, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but feel dizzy.
He picked up his phone and opened Gui Qing's WeChat chat window. His slender fingers tapped on the screen, breaking away from his usual slow pace and typing a sentence in the dialog box:
"Who said that personal matters won't affect work? Do you really not want to see me now?"
The second before his finger touched the "Send" button, Jiang Yuxu suddenly became a little more sober.
He took a deep breath, deleted the content in the input box, and put the phone aside.
Jiang Yuxu put his glasses back on, leaned back, tilted his head back and closed his eyes.
Can't lose your composure.
His questioning now would only make the already tense relationship between the two people worse.
But how to solve it?
Gui Qing did not reconcile with Cheng Mi, so logically he should be happy.
But the unidentified man beside her...
Oh, right.
Jiang Yuxu suddenly remembered something and opened his eyes.
He took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Zhan Mo, the private detective he often worked with.
Jiang Yu preface: [There is business. ]
Zhan Mo: [Boss, here we are. What is the case this time? ]
Jiang Yuxu: [Find someone, follow her, take photos of the people around her, and check their identities.]
Zhan Mo: [Who are you looking for? Do you have a name and photo? ]
Jiang Yuxu found a photo from the album and sent it out, adding Gui Qing's name behind it.
Zhan Mo: [? Isn't this your colleague from Party A?]
Jiang Yuxu: [Hmm]
Zhan Mo: [Why are you checking on her? Is there a conflict at work?]
Jiang Yu Preface: [No]
Zhan Mo: [Then...?]
Zhan Mo: [Don't tell me you like her.]
Jiang Yu Preface: [Pay attention to your professional ethics.]
Zhan Mo: [I'm just concerned about you as a friend. We're close friends, and you've been single for so many years, so shouldn't I be anxious?]
Jiang Yu's preface: [……]
Zhan Mo: [Don't worry, I'll check it out for you within this week. Wait for my news.]
Jiang Yuxu replied "thank you" and put down the phone.
——
Gui Qing didn't come to the law firm for the next few days.
While Jiang Yuxu was waiting for Zhan Mo's investigation, Friday had arrived unknowingly.
Jiang Yuxu had previously agreed to go to Yuyuan with Qiao Wan and Jiang Zheng to meet their friends. He got off work on time and drove to Yuyuan.
