"Do you have concrete evidence?" Huo Shaoheng sat behind his desk and checked the emails from the other party on his computer while communicating with them in real time.
"We're still looking for direct evidence, but the American lawyer recently revealed during the lawsuit that the 'Angel in the World' fund had supported a research project at the Tokyo Imperial College of Medicine in Japan two years ago. That project was led by Professor Oda Masao, but then Professor Oda Masao suddenly passed away, and the project was stopped."
Huo Shaoheng paused, his eyes narrowing. "Oda Masao?"
He was practically their old friend …
"Yes, it's this professor's project. We discovered that the Ishihara Corporation commissioned him to do the research."
"Entrustment? It's probably a collaborative research project. " Huo Shaoheng shook his head. "The Ishihara Corporation is not a simple business organization. I suspect that they are still doing what they used to do."
"Huo Shao means …?" The Japanese field agent on the other side listened very carefully for fear of missing important instructions.
Huo Shaoheng raised his head and looked at the monitor. He said sternly, "What did Ishihara Shiro do back then? Have you all forgotten? "
Ishihara Shiro, the highest commander of Japan's infamous numerical unit, was the one who took the initiative to propose to the United States that they use the research results they obtained from human experiments on the Huaxia people to secretly exchange for the right to not be tried after the war.
Ishihara Shiro happened to be the founder of the Ishihara Corporation, Ishihara Wakashi's father, and Ishihara Taro's great-grandfather.
"Yes, Huo Shao. We will follow up on this lead."
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and instructed them, "The Ishihara Corporation will probably be in chaos soon. Remember to make the situation as chaotic as possible."
This way, he could find out more secrets.
The Japanese field personnel were very surprised. "Chaos? Really?! This corporation is very secretive, so our progress in finding information is very slow! "
If I can create chaos, then the heavens are really helping me!
Huo Shaoheng smirked and grunted, "Yes. You guys get ready."
Not only will you set the pace, but we will also set the pace on your home ground.
Giving others a taste of their own medicine was the wisdom of the Chinese ancestors.
…
Two hours passed, and Gu Nianzhi's defense was nearing its end.
The topic of her thesis was about the scope of application of inheritance law.
He Zhichu had also helped her choose this topic to lighten her learning load.
Gu Nianzhi had already looked up a lot of relevant legal knowledge and case histories because she was competing with Gu Yanran for the Gu inheritance.
It was indeed a piece of cake to use the materials and cases that she had used in her lawsuit to write this master's thesis.
Therefore, Gu Nianzhi was very well prepared. She wasn't like the graduation thesis of a typical master's student, who was still an armchair strategist in the academic field.
Gu Nianzhi, on the other hand, had already used this set of theories to guide practice and had competed with others in court.
Therefore, her graduation defense went very smoothly. The professor who listened to her defense praised her greatly. He even said that her method was ingenious and her thinking was flexible. He said that she could be used as a model for the graduation thesis of B University's master of law students in the future.
Gu Nianzhi was very excited, but she still controlled her emotions and very politely thanked the professors for their high praise.
After the defense, the professors stood up and shook hands with her one by one before leaving the small conference room. Only He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi remained.
He Zhichu wore a gray suit and walked elegantly to Gu Nianzhi's side. He bowed. "Nianzhi, congratulations. You've finally graduated."
Gu Nianzhi sat in her seat with a dreamy expression on her face. She said slowly, "Professor He, I really can't believe that I've graduated …"
She didn't have such a strong feeling when she graduated. Perhaps it was because she knew at that time that she would continue her graduate studies, so she didn't have the self-awareness to graduate and leave school.
But this time was different. She didn't plan to continue her Ph.D. studies. Graduating with a master's meant that her ivory tower career was over.
From now on, she would enter society and use her own skills and abilities to pursue her own world like many others.
He Zhichu couldn't help but pat her head. His cool voice had a hint of gentleness. "Yes, you've graduated. Go work in the United States."
Gu Nianzhi was his assistant and also an official employee of the largest law firm in the United States.
He Zhichu paused before saying, "… I'm going to the United States too. The Ph.D. students here will graduate in six months. I'll resign from my position as a professor at the B University Faculty of Law. "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened in shock. "But Professor He, they all like you very much. They like attending your classes!"
He Zhichu was speechless.
He didn't want the students to like him. He only wanted her to like him.
"I'll teach them until they graduate." He Zhichu changed the topic without batting an eyelid. "If you don't want to start working right away, you can take a break for six months."
Gu Nianzhi shook her head. "I want to work, but I don't want to work in the United States. Professor He, it's too early to talk about this. I haven't recovered yet. I'll think about where I want to work after the Lunar New Year. "
He Zhichu didn't force her. "Yes, it's fine if you don't want to go to the United States. I have a law firm here too. Come, I'll let you be a partner."
Gu Nianzhi was speechless.
If she became a partner as soon as she graduated, even if she had the ability, people would always stick the "He Zhichu" label on her.
Gu Nianzhi had struggled to break free from Huo Shaoheng's wings. She didn't want to immediately be labeled as someone else's.
"Professor He, I want to make some achievements first before bringing my clients to join your law firm. What do you think?" Gu Nianzhi replied tactfully as she stood up from her seat.
He Zhichu understood what she meant immediately. He smiled. "You care about other people's opinions?"
"I don't care about other people's opinions. I just don't want to bury my talents." Gu Nianzhi confidently put on her backpack and picked up her laptop bag. "Professor He, can you let me try it out on my own first?"
"It's not that I'm not letting you try it, but why do you have to take so many detours? You'll eventually become my partner anyway. Since it's a matter of time, it's better to do it sooner than later. "He Zhichu teased Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi giggled and shook her head. "That's different. Let's look at it from another perspective. Detours are actually experience. If you don't take detours, you won't have experience. In this line of work, the most important thing is to be able to convince people. If people don't trust my abilities, why would they ask me to be their lawyer? Besides, it's not like I'm inferior to others. Why can't you just let me go and try it out on my own? "
He Zhichu looked at her intently. His expression softened.
Gu Nianzhi also knew that He Zhichu was doing this for her own good. However, like Huo Shaoheng, he always believed that she couldn't handle things on her own.
"Professor He, thank you for your suggestion. Your suggestion gives me more courage to go out and work. I won't be afraid of failure because I know that you won't despise me, right?"
Gu Nianzhi now knew how to express her thoughts in a roundabout way. She could also express her thoughts in a way that didn't hurt others.
He Zhichu's mood improved as expected. He picked up his briefcase and walked out of the small conference room with Gu Nianzhi. He said dryly, "Oh? You clearly rejected my suggestion. How did that give you more courage? "
"Because I know that you'll be my strong support! That's why I have the courage to charge forward! "Gu Nianzhi waved her arm and smiled at He Zhichu.
He Zhichu was greatly pleased by this statement.
The corners of his lips involuntarily curved into a happy smile. When he returned to his suite in the professor's building and went to the bathroom to wash his hands, he realized that he still had a faint smile on his face.
No wonder his cheeks were a little sore …
He Zhichu's lips smoothed out.
Coming out of the bathroom, he called Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, you're on vacation after exams today. Can I treat you to dinner?"
Gu Nianzhi had just arrived at the dorm and was telling Ma Qiqi and Yin Shixiong about the interesting things that happened during her thesis defense.
Hearing her phone ring, Gu Nianzhi picked it up and said to He Zhichu, "Professor He, I'm about to treat someone to dinner. You're coming too?"
"Sure, where?" He Zhichu looked at his schedule. Today was purposely free. After celebrating with Gu Nianzhi, he had to return to the United States.
Gu Nianzhi told him the location and said to Ma Qiqi and Yin Shixiong, "You guys come too. I've booked a private room. You can hang out for the entire afternoon and night."
After two meals, they could sing karaoke, play mahjong, and play poker. It was all entertainment and dining.
Yin Shixiong laughed. "Sure, but it's just the few of us. Why don't you invite a few more?"
Gu Nianzhi blinked and remembered that Huo Shaoheng had told her to call him after her thesis defense.
However, after being scolded by Huo Shaoheng on the highway, Gu Nianzhi was a little afraid of him.
Yin Shixiong made a face at Gu Nianzhi. "Nianzhi, you're not that petty, are you?"
Gu Nianzhi could only laugh. "I also want to invite a few more people, but it's the holidays now. The students are either going home or working. I can't gather that many people in such a short time. How about Brother Xiong help me ask Huo Shao and Brother Ze if they're free? "
Yesterday was Friday, the last day of B University's final exams.
Winter break would begin after the exams.
Today was Saturday, but because Gu Nianzhi had advanced her graduation thesis defense, it was moved to today.
As for the graduation ceremony, it would have to wait for the normal batch of students to graduate during the summer break.
B University's graduation ceremony was only held once a year.
Yin Shixiong cracked his knuckles. "Sure, I'll ask for you."
He walked to the balcony to call Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze.
Of course, Zhao Liangze was delighted and asked a colleague to cover for him for a few hours before driving over himself.
When he arrived at the restaurant where Gu Nianzhi and the others had agreed to meet, Zhao Liangze actually ran into Bai Shuang and Bai Yueran.
They had come over for lunch and heard that Gu Nianzhi had graduated early today. They smiled and wanted to celebrate with her.
Zhao Liangze couldn't make the decision, so he smiled. "Then I'll ask. If there are too many people, then there's nothing I can do."
"It's fine, we're just going to say hello." Bai Shuang only wanted to find an opportunity to spend more time with Zhao Liangze, so she was very enthusiastic.
Zhao Liangze led them inside.
Gu Nianzhi booked a rather large private room, but there weren't many people.
Bai Yueran scanned the room and was slightly relieved to see that they were all people she knew.
She walked over to greet them one by one.
"Lawyer He, nice to meet you."
"Big Xiong, are you slacking off?" Bai Yueran smiled and shook Ma Qiqi's hand. "You're Qiqi? I've seen you before. "
Gu Nianzhi saw that it was Bai Shuang and Bai Yueran, so she winked at Zhao Liangze and invited them with a smile. "Miss Bais, if you have time, would you like to come and play together?"
Bai Yueran looked at Bai Shuang and said, "I can stay for three hours and then go back to the base. What about you?"
Bai Shuang smiled. "I'm fine. If Miss Gu doesn't mind, I can join in the fun."
Of course, Gu Nianzhi didn't mind. She had a good impression of these two people, and she had heard from Yin Shixiong that Zhao Liangze was pursuing Bai Yueran and that Bai Shuang liked Zhao Liangze.
Gu Nianzhi loved to read about this kind of love triangle gossip. How could she miss it when she had the chance to see it in real life?
Besides, it just so happened that she had graduated today, so she was relaxed and much livelier than usual.
Bai Yueran and Bai Shuang stayed and had lunch together.
However, Huo Shaoheng was in a meeting and couldn't answer the phone.
By the time he finished the meeting and found out that Yin Shixiong had called him, two hours had passed.
He called. "Big Xiong? What's up? "
Yin Shixiong quickly said, "Huo Shao, come over quickly! I've already saved food for you! You can't be absent from Nianzhi's graduation celebration, right?! "
