Gu Qingyou's life seemed to have returned to peace.
Jiang Jun was like a friend that she hadn't seen for a long time. When they met, they politely greeted each other and continued on their own path in the future.
Today, after leaving the court, Gu Qingyou was in a sorry state as it had rained for the past two days.
There was nothing she could do about it, You Li was sick and asked for a leave of absence. She had come to court alone today, so not only did she have to hold onto an umbrella, she also had to hold onto the case file. However, the rain continued to fall harder and harder, with no signs of stopping.
Gu Qingyou couldn't help but sigh.
London is a good place, but the weather is a big problem.
It was always raining heavily here, and it would be a long time before it stopped.
Gu Qingyou waited for a long time, and finally caught sight of a taxi in the misty fog, but before she could raise his hand to signal for her, the taxi had already sped past her.
She didn't notice that the wind and mist brought by the taxi had lifted her umbrella, causing the items in her hands to fall to the ground in a mess. The documents that she needed to examine during the hearing had fallen onto the rain-filled road.
Gu Qingyou's information was damaged, she immediately threw away the umbrella to retrieve the information, and a few pages fell onto the road. Gu Qingyou wanted to retrieve the information quickly, but she didn't want to stop a black car.
Gu Qingyou immediately bowed and apologized to the person on the carriage, then continued to pick up the documents in a hurry.
The wipers were regular, and the scene in front of the car was blurred and clear.
The driver was extremely sorry, "Boss Dan, with a car to the side, it's not easy to get around it, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for this young miss to pick up all the documents before driving away??"
The man sitting in the back seat, half in shadow, had his eyes fixed on the young woman who was picking up the papers in front of him.
What a beautiful woman.
The car's headlights just happened to illuminate her flawless face, just like how God had meticulously carved her exquisite figure, wearing a set of black business attire, her figure was beautiful, the ponytail she had combed revealed her smooth and plump forehead and slender and beautiful neck, but because of the rain, a few strands of messy hair fell, instead, it revealed her true gentleness, her slender fingers resting on the paper, picking up the music as if she was playing the notes of the summer??
Everything was just right.
"Go and help that lady pick up the documents!" The haughty and conceited voice was filled with a completely unflinching charisma as it spat out in a low voice.
The driver didn't dare to delay and immediately got off.
After a while, she finished picking up the documents. When she put the documents into the document bag, Dan Yan caught a glimpse of the words "Mo Qinghua People's Law Firm" on the document bag.
She bowed gratefully to the driver, then quickly retreated to the side of the road.
The driver returned to the car and started the engine again. When the car passed her, Dan Yan smiled.
When Gu Qingyou returned home, she was already soaked in sweat.
"The brat ran over and hugged her." "Mommy??"
As her entire body was wet, Gu Qingyou hurriedly lifted the little brat away."Mommy's clothes are wet, I'll hug you later??"
The brat obediently let go, then ran up to the second floor. Dong dong dong dong. He came down from the second floor and handed over a clean towel to Gu Qingyou.
"Mommy, quickly wipe it off so you won't be sick??"
Gu Qingyou originally wanted to wipe her hair, but when she saw his son's sensible and obedient face, she couldn't help but take off her wet jacket and carry the little kid who was wearing the little Superman printed on his clothes. Mu Mu, what are you doing at home today? "
"I'm watching TV upstairs??" Just as he went downstairs to look for his mother-in-law, he saw that Mommy had returned?? Mommy, don't you have an umbrella? "
"The umbrella is broken??"
"Then Mommy??" "Take my umbrella tomorrow. Grandma says it will still rain tomorrow!"
"Mommy has already bought an umbrella. Mu Mu is going to school tomorrow, so you should remember to not let yourself get drenched while holding the umbrella."
"I know, Mommy."
Gu Qingyou massaged his little head lovingly, and couldn't help but kiss him again.
Just then, Gu Qingyou's phone rang.
"Mommy, your phone is ringing."
"Yes." Gu Qingyou put the brat down."Be good and go play by yourself??"
"Mommy remembered to dry her hair." After the kid finished talking, he ran off.
Gu Qingyou wiped her wet hair with a towel and took out her phone from the Business Packs s.
"Who would have thought that the phone call would be from Boss Mo, so Gu Qingyou immediately answered. Boss Mo."
"Lawyer Gu, did you disturb your meal?"
"It's fine, my family hasn't eaten yet. Is Boss Mo looking for me?"
"It's like this. The law firm just took on a case. It's a very big case... I want you to come to the law office tonight. We're having a meeting."
"Alright, I'll be there after the meal."
"Well, it's not good to take a taxi in the rain. Remember to call for a taxi in advance."
"Alright."
Gu Qingyou finished her di er at home, changed her clothes, and rushed to the office.
Usually, when an office receives an important case, they would all meet and then find the person that was most confident in handling this case. However, when Gu Qingyou arrived at the meeting room today, she discovered that there was only Boss Mo in the meeting room.
Gu Qingyou sat down, puzzled. Boss Mo... Will it be just the two of us? "
Boss Mo was more than fifty years old, but he looked very young and was always approachable. He gave off the feeling of a brother in a law firm.
"Yes."
Hearing the answer, Gu Qingyou became even more confused.
Boss Mo then pushed a document in his hand to Gu Qingyou and said solemnly, "This is the case that I have just received, look at the information sent by the person over there."
Gu Qingyou nodded her head, but in her heart she was suspicious that Boss Mo did not call for other employees to discuss big cases today.
After reading the contents of the document, Gu Qingyou covered her mouth in shock. This... Boss Mo... Is this really our case? "
The Boss Mo had obviously predicted that Gu Qingyou would be surprised long ago, because when he had received this case, his astonishment was no less than Gu Qingyou's. If we win this case, our firm will have enough for a year."
"But??" Gu Qingyou was a little helpless as she put the document down. For such an important lawsuit, why would Ming Ren Group look for us to fight? Furthermore?? "The lawyer on the other side of this lawsuit is bound to be powerful. How can we be sure of that?"
I don't know either. A phone call suddenly came in and said there's a case for our office. Just as I got to know the situation, the other side had already prepaid a 1 million dollar commission??" "I've already said that with the power of our firm, we definitely won't be able to beat the lawyers from the Jiang Group. But the other party said that he believes in your power." At this point, Boss Mo frowned and looked at Gu Qingyou, "I thought there might be someone over there who knew you, but it didn't look like you were there just now.
"Boss Mo, I don't even know the members of Ming Ren Group??"
"That's strange." Boss Mo leaned his body against the back of the chair in confusion, frowning deeply. Why would you suddenly hand over such an important case to us and name you as a lawyer? "
"A roll call?" A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Qingyou's mind."Could it be??"
"What?"
"Gu Qingyou's face instantly turned white, and she shook her head."Uh, it's nothing." Could it be that the Mingren Company knew of her relationship with Jiang Jun, and wanted to make use of this? But that didn't make sense. She and Jiang Jun had feelings for each other, but that didn't mean that she could win this case.
"Boss Mo felt that Gu Qingyou was hiding something from him, but did not pursue the matter. He felt that Gu Qingyou did not want to say that she was related to the people from Ming Ren Gang. Lawyer Gu, since the other party has already paid us the commission for this lawsuit, then prepare yourself to properly fight in this lawsuit?? "The other party said that if we lose this lawsuit, we'll treat one million yuan as compensation. If we win, the other party will pay us three times the price."
"Boss Mo, I??"
Seeing that Gu Qingyou wanted to refuse, the Boss Mo immediately held down the documents that Gu Qingyou had pushed over and said seriously, "Lawyer Gu, look, I have always taken care of you. If you say that I don't accept Chinese cases, I have never tried to force you?? "But with such a generous commission and a lawsuit in London, I really hope you can help me!"
Thinking about the care that the Boss Mo had shown him in the past two days, the words that Gu Qingyou wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
Boss Mo pushed the documents back to Gu Qingyou and continued, "You better focus on this lawsuit. If you win, I will give you 40% of the commission."
"It's not because of the money. Boss Mo, I really did??" Once again, Gu Qingyou was unable to reject Boss Mo, because Boss Mo was looking at her with a pleading gaze. Thus, she did not continue speaking.
Seeing that Gu Qingyou did not reject, Boss Mo lightly patted Gu Qingyou's arm, and said, "The entire law firm will be focusing on this case, if you need anything, you can ask the other lawyers. Even if the other party is powerful, you have to do your best to beat them up."
Gu Qingyou sighed softly, and bit her lips in the end, "..."Alright."
"Boss Mo heaved a sigh of relief."Then let's discuss this case now??"
Gu Qingyou could only nod her head.
After Boss Mo left, Gu Qingyou sat in her office alone, unable to calm herself down for a long time.
She suddenly accepted Mingren Company's case, which meant that she would have to confront Jiang??s Group in the future??
This was a situation that no one could have imagined.
Most importantly, Mingren Company had already reached an agreement with Jiang??s Group, so why would they break it now?
What kind of group was Sun Group? Mingren Company actually gave up cooperating with the Jiang Clan and chose this group?
Also, will Jiang Jun come to London again for the sake of this lawsuit?
A series of questions came up and bombed Gu Qingyou's brain one after another. Coupled with the pitter patter of the rain outside, Gu Qingyou held her forehead in a oyance.
In the past three years, she had almost never encountered any problems that were difficult to solve at work. She hadn't thought that the first problem she would encounter would actually be related to the Jiang family??
Was the heavens deliberately tormenting her?
Gu Qingyou leaned back in her chair and sighed heavily.
