Jiang Yilai's lips curled up slightly. She and Fu Nanxiao were both trying to get closer to each other and shorten the distance between them.
She will show those who looked down on her that she, Jiang Yilai, will have a place in the world in the future.
The next day, the case of the deputy mayor and his wife went to trial. Jiang Yilai appeared in court as the victim's defense lawyer. With all the materials prepared in advance, he successfully sent them to prison and sentenced them to life imprisonment.
The removal of Jiang Yilai from her position as deputy mayor and the subsequent investigation into numerous cases of corruption and bribery have brought her renewed notoriety in China.
The case was finally closed, and the colleagues at the firm also benefited, with their net worth increasing one by one.
"President Jiang, our firm has won a brilliant victory right after its establishment. It's truly gratifying!" Zhang Yue said, leading everyone in applause.
Jiang Yilai smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone's hard work, we will encounter more cases in the future, and we will work together."
Zhang Yue beamed with joy: "Following you was definitely the right choice."
Jiang Yilai rubbed her face, "Today happens to be Friday, go and book a larger private room, let's relax properly."
Zhang Yue jumped up on the spot, and her colleagues clapped and shouted "Long live!"
Everyone's work is usually very busy, and these past two days they've been working overtime to organize materials in order to get this case done smoothly, so Jiang Yilai should reward them.
The dinner party ended at midnight, and the group of people helped each other out of the bar, chatting and laughing.
Jiang Yilai hadn't relaxed like this in a long time, so she decided to let loose tonight.
Jiang Yilai was still somewhat lucid and first counted that everyone had arrived.
Have you booked a car yet?
Zhang Yue squinted and nodded: "My best friend is coming to pick me up."
Jiang Yilai then looked at the others, only feeling relieved after hearing that everyone had a plan.
Zhang Yue asked, "Where is President Jiang? Has someone come to pick him up?"
Jiang Yilai lied and said, "My friend will be here shortly. I think you should leave first."
She didn't notify anyone. Although she felt a little dizzy, she was still conscious and confident that she could catch a ride home by herself.
Hearing this, Zhang Yue felt relieved and left with her best friend.
After watching everyone leave, Jiang Yilai waved to flag down a car on the roadside.
Unexpectedly, the effects of the alcohol and fatigue hit her as soon as she got in the car. She felt dizzy and lightheaded, and couldn't even open her eyes. This was not a good thing.
In a daze, she pulled her phone out of her bag and, with her remaining consciousness, quickly dialed a number.
The call connected, but I could vaguely hear a familiar ringtone in my ear.
Jiang Yilai squinted and looked around, only to find that there was someone else sitting in the back seat, which made her subconsciously move back to the window seat.
But she clearly didn't notice anyone when she got on the bus!
Moreover, the voice was coming from this person.
Jiang Yilai's eyes followed the glowing screen on the man's hand. Why was his phone ringing?
Her gaze moved upwards and she saw a handsome, noble-looking dark face staring at her with extreme displeasure.
Jiang Yilai's heart skipped a beat; this person seemed to be in her heart.
It must be a dream, how could Fu Nanxiao be by my side?
Could it be that I'm hallucinating because I miss him so much?
Jiang Yilai took a breath, then sat up again and mustered up her courage to reach out her hand to him.
When her hand touched her warm face, Jiang Yilai couldn't help but gently pinch it.
Is this... real?
"What do you think?"
The cold, angry voice brought Jiang Yilai to her senses.
