Wen Shouyi stared blankly at He Zhichu's emotionless eyes, and a chill ran down her spine.
Countless words tumbled in her heart, but she didn't dare say a single word.
If she dared to take another step, He Zhichu would really shoot her with a gun. He could do it …
Wen Shouyi tried to calm her breathing and said as calmly as possible, "Ok, then I'll go back. But Professor He, if I leave, you'll be here alone. The people back home will be very worried about you, especially old Mr. He. You're his only son. "
"Are you questioning my ability?" He Zhichu didn't look at her anymore and turned on his computer to send a message. "I'll find a secretary and housekeeper again. You can go now."
At this point, Wen Shouyi could no longer deceive herself.
She slowly turned around and put her hand on the doorknob. She was about to open the door when she hesitated. She turned back to look at He Zhichu's half-lowered profile, unable to hide the longing and longing in her eyes.
"He … Mr. He, if I wasn't the daughter of the He family's gardener, would your attitude towards me be better?"
Wen Shouyi finally asked after holding back for so long.
This question had been hidden in her heart for a long time, and she hadn't dared to ask it before. It wasn't until the irreparable situation today that she finally asked.
He Zhichu didn't even look up as his fingers flew over the keyboard. He said coldly, "My attitude towards you has never changed, no matter whose daughter you are."
"But you didn't treat me like this during the first three years I was with you!" Wen Shouyi turned around and leaned against the door. She touched her face with one hand. "At that time, you asked me to stay by your side and never leave your side. If you didn't see me for a while, you would look for me everywhere …"
He Zhichu's typing hand paused. He said dryly, "You're mistaken. It was Auntie Qin who asked you to stay by my side, not me."
"… It was Auntie Qin?" Wen Shouyi froze. "It was really Auntie Qin?"
"If you don't believe me, go back and ask her yourself." He Zhichu was getting impatient. He pushed the keyboard away and looked up at her coldly. "Are you done yet?"
Wen Shouyi wiped her tears. "Then I'm leaving. Take care, Mr. He."
She finally opened He Zhichu's office door and slowly walked out. She turned around and closed the door behind her.
Wen Shouyi stood at the door of He Zhichu's office and looked longingly at the place.
She had personally decorated this place. From choosing the location to decorating to buying furniture and furnishing, she had done everything herself.
Now she had to get out of here.
Wen Shouyi walked to her office.
Lawyer Jin's office was next to hers. When he heard the noise, he poked his head out to have a look and happened to bump into Wen Shouyi.
"Lawyer Wen, may I ask if Mr. He has anything else to say?" Lawyer Jin asked with a bitter face. He had been dealt a heavy blow today and had lost all confidence.
Wen Shouyi smiled at him and asked quietly, "… You lost to Gu Nianzhi again?"
"… It's not really a loss." Lawyer Jin rubbed his chin. "She came prepared. I underestimated her. Who would have thought that such a simple case would have so many inside stories? "
"Yes, you're right. You didn't get your 20 years of experience for nothing. Don't be discouraged. I have high hopes for you. " Wen Shouyi placed her hand on Lawyer Jin's shoulder and patted him gently. "I'm going to resign and go back home. Mr. He will definitely promote someone to be the executive director of the law firm. I will recommend you to Mr. He. At the same time, I will hand over all the administrative matters of the law firm to you. Are you free tomorrow and the day after? I only have two days to hand over the responsibilities. "
Lawyer Jin was stunned for a moment. He couldn't accept that a golden lump had suddenly fallen from the sky and hit him.
"Why aren't you saying anything? You don't want to? " Wen Shouyi smiled and whispered, "… Gu Nianzhi is very likely to intern at our law firm. Don't you want to … see what it's like to have her as your subordinate?"
To be able to order the person who had once defeated him around as his subordinate … Just the thought of it was fascinating.
However, Lawyer Jin only thought about it for a minute before saying, "That's not a good idea, is it? Gu Nianzhi and I actually have no personal grudges. It's just a disagreement at work. Why would I want to mess with her? "
Wen Shouyi was speechless.
"I didn't ask you to mess with her. What are you thinking?" Wen Shouyi looked at him strangely. "I thought you would want to regain your confidence."
Even Lawyer Wen could tell that he was doubting his life after being defeated by Gu Nianzhi?
Lawyer Jin crossed his arms and said thoughtfully, "That's not a bad idea. I can try."
"Then it's a deal. I'll go back and write an email recommending you to be the executive director." Wen Shouyi turned around and went into her office to prepare for the handover.
She was usually very organized and had a list of daily tasks. She sent it to He Zhichu and also recommended Lawyer Jin as the executive director.
He Zhichu looked at Lawyer Jin's qualifications. He was indeed the most experienced among his own employees. He had also been a lawyer at JD Law Firm for many years. He had a good understanding of the domestic legal industry. Having him as the executive director would indeed make things easier and allow the Sovereign Law Firm to quickly integrate into the Hua Xia Empire's legal industry.
He emailed back, "Ok."
Wen Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw He Zhichu's quick reply.
She quickly sent Lawyer Jin a copy of her daily task list and scheduled a time to meet in her office tomorrow and the day after to prepare for the handover.
…
Gu Nianzhi and Zhao Liangze came out of the elevator to see Huo Shaoheng's car still parked on the street.
There was no traffic on the streets during the New Year, so he could park on the street without punishment.
After getting in the car, Huo Shaoheng looked at her. "How did it go? Did Zhang Baochen agree? "
"Yeah, he agreed to sign and also agreed to the auction. Anyway, he'll agree to anything as long as he can stay alive and not go to jail. "Gu Nianzhi replied casually as she rubbed her temples.
The car started and Zhao Liangze turned around from the front passenger seat to ask Huo Shaoheng, "Huo Shao, Professor He also went there. We met him at the elevator."
"Really? Then he might have gone straight from the underground parking lot. " Huo Shaoheng propped an arm on the window and said thoughtfully, "I haven't seen anyone go up here."
Gu Nianzhi quietly sighed in relief. She didn't know why, but she was afraid that Huo Shaoheng would run into He Zhichu.
Last time at the Special Operations Forces headquarters, the tension between He Zhichu and Huo Shaoheng had already made her tremble in fear.
She didn't want there to be a next time.
…
Wen Shouyi and Lawyer Jin were busy for two whole days before they finished the handover.
They worked until midnight on the fourth day of the New Year.
Lawyer Jin rubbed his neck and smiled at Wen Shouyi. "What time is Lawyer Wen's flight tomorrow? Do you want me to send you off?"
"No, thank you, Lawyer Jin." Wen Shouyi politely declined. "I won't be coming back again this time. I have a few friends here who want to send me off."
"Oh, that's good. Have a safe trip, Lawyer Wen." Lawyer Jin smiled and said goodbye in advance.
Wen Shouyi smiled gently at him. She printed out the final items from the computer and handed them to Jin Dazhuang.
On the morning of the fifth day of the New Year, Wen Shouyi carried a small suitcase and quietly left the Imperial Capital Airport to go to America. She would return to her hometown from there.
As soon as Wen Shouyi left, the Monarch Descent Law Firm refused to take on the Zhang and Zhao family's cases. The Zhangs and Zhaos quickly lost.
Zhang Baochen sold all the properties under his name and even handed over his bank savings to pay off his debts. He didn't even have a place to live now. Grandfather Huo heard about it and took a private car to Zhang Baochen's rented place to take a look.
It was a three-bedroom apartment with less than 100 square meters. It was much worse than the house Zhang Baochen's family used to live in.
Zhang Wenna and Zhang Wenjie were not used to it.
There was only a bed in their room and there wasn't even room to turn around.
Zhang Wenna had so many designer bags, clothes, and shoes but had nowhere to put them. They were all messily thrown under the bed.
When Grandfather Huo arrived, Zhang Baochen's family was on the verge of tears.
However, they didn't dare to act rashly in front of outsiders and respectfully called Grandfather Huo "Chief".
Grandfather Huo felt sorry for them but couldn't ask them to move back to the Huo residence. He could only secretly give Zhang Baochen a key. "… Take it. I'll get someone to transfer the ownership to you after the New Year. It's not a good idea to keep renting."
Zhang Baochen was so touched that he wanted to wipe his tears. He asked, "Chief, what about my mother? You must save her! "
"She's involved in too many things. There's nothing I can do." Grandfather Huo sighed.
He really didn't expect Zhang Feng to have such a big appetite. She looked gentle and gentle and didn't fight for anything.
Zhang Baochen knew he was in trouble and quickly begged Grandfather Huo. "Chief, my mother has been loyal to you for so many years and has been taking care of you with all her heart. No one will say anything if you speak up for her. If you don't say anything, your subordinates will be disappointed … "
Zhang Feng's unusual relationship with Grandfather Huo aside, she was officially Grandfather Huo's head nurse and had taken care of him for more than 40 years. Grandfather Huo could not just stand by and watch as Zhang Feng was convicted of the crime. She had done a lot of hard work, even if she had not done much.
"I'll go see her. But you have to know that I'm already retired. I can't help her any more." Grandfather Huo had been trying to get Huo Shaoheng and Huo Guanchen to vouch for Zhang Feng for the past few days, but both of them pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Grandfather Huo was mentally and physically exhausted. It was the first time he showed signs of weakness in his old age.
Zhang Baochen quickly nodded. "Let me go with you?"
Grandfather Huo thought about it. "That's fine. You can come with me."
Grandfather Huo brought Zhang Baochen to where the military police were holding the criminals to visit Zhang Feng.
Grandfather Huo let Zhang Baochen visit Zhang Feng first.
It had only been four to five days, but Zhang Feng seemed like a completely different person.
His previously dark hair had now turned white, and his fair complexion had turned yellow and dry without the daily maintenance of top-grade skincare products. His sparse eyebrows drooped over his eyes, and there were deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. His eye bags were even more obvious.
"Mom, why do you look like this?" Zhang Baochen's heart ached. "Why is your hair so white? Did they torture you? "
"No." Zhang Feng shook her head listlessly. "I didn't dye my hair. That's why I look like this."
