Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 107: Rescued

In the morning, Lawyer Jiang arrived at the Xinghui Building feeling uneasy. Secretary Jiang's tone on the phone didn't sound good. In the elevator, she couldn't help but ask Secretary Jiang, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou is looking for me this time because of the case or because of Miss Chu's mother?"

"Lawyer Jiang, don't you know what you have done?" Secretary Jiang said in a businesslike tone.

This made her even more uneasy. Xinghui had its own legal department, a pretty strong one at that. It definitely wasn't Xinghui's business to contact her alone. The last time they contacted her was enough to surprise her. Could this time be because of that case, and some inconsiderate handling of the aftermath wasn't done properly?

Or was it because she took on this case that Zhou Xingzhi wanted to silence her? The Zhou family had deep connections in Qiancheng, and it would be easy to expel her from the legal profession or Qiancheng.

The more I think about it, the more I regret it. I should have known I shouldn't have been so greedy to take that case.

Chu Yue was in the Administration Department, holding a pile of documents from the President's Office, waiting for them to be printed and stamped. She had a meeting in the Planning Department soon. The older woman in the Administration Department would occasionally chat with her, hoping to get some news about changes in senior leadership.

"Assistant Chu, why do documents from the President's Office need to be printed in the Administration Department?"

She was actually puzzled. The CEO's office had a printer, but Zhou Xingzhi had her print it out in the administration department. And the documents were all unimportant, like process optimization and standardized OA account usage.

"I don't know if it's broken, but I'm not allowed to use it."

As a special assistant, she had no way of knowing if the office supplies in the CEO's office were broken or usable. Because Zhou Xingzhi didn't let her handle these matters, her daily routine consisted of dealing with emails from various departments on the OA system, attending meetings with him, taking minutes, and various reports.

When Jiang Lu saw Zhou Xing, he couldn't tell his specific emotions.

"Last time, Lawyer Jiang helped Yueyue's mother with the lawsuit, and I didn't have time to thank him."

Jiang Tao poured the lawyer a glass of boiled water and left the office. Lawyer Jiang felt even more uneasy. The atmosphere in the office was depressing, and the words just said made people sweat.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhou is looking for me?" He didn't dare to look up at the mature and high-ranking president.

Zhou Xingzhi threw a stack of information in front of her and said indifferently, "Take a look."

Lawyer Jiang carefully took the document and looked at it. It contained comments from an account called "Fanzui Suspect" under another account. The content was full of details about Chu Yue's mother.

Not to mention that she is a lawyer, even if she is an ordinary citizen, she can be held legally responsible for posting and guiding public opinion online.

"Mr. Zhou...Mr. Zhou, this...is not me!" If this hat is put on her, she is afraid that she will not even be able to be a lawyer.

"I'll give you two days to find this person. If I see comments from this account again tonight, I won't be at the Judicial Bureau for a long time." He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the middle-aged female lawyer who claimed to never lose a case. His tone was so calm that it seemed as if this was not a harsh remark.

"Okay... okay." Lawyer Jiang knew that the Zhou family did know quite a few leaders in the Judicial Bureau.

By the time she safely emerged from the CEO's office, beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead. Chu Yue was coming up from the administration department, clutching printed materials. "Lawyer Jiang, long time no see," she greeted enthusiastically.

"Mrs. Zhou, uh... no, Miss Chu." Jiang Lu wiped the sweat off his forehead, calmed down and replied to her.

Chu Yue felt that she looked unwell and thought she was not feeling well. She held her shoulders and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you down?"

"No thanks, please help, Miss Chu." Lawyer Jiang thanked hurriedly and left quickly.

Chu Yue looked at her figure, feeling puzzled.

Jiang Lu came, and she didn't know why. She didn't know when the bad review on her account disappeared, but she didn't notice it.

On Xin Jiahui's birthday, she arrived late after everyone else had gathered. Li Weizhen had assumed she'd brought her so-called boyfriend with her, but when he saw her alone, his eyes shifted unpredictably.

"Sorry, I have several operations recently." After her internship at the hospital, she has been very busy.

Su Weikai joked on the side: "Wow, our Doctor Xin has become a little adult too!" Li Weizheng kicked his leg rudely, helped Xin Jiahui put away her bag, and took out the gift he had prepared for her.

Xin Jiahui received the gift and looked at the others. Zhou Xingzhi handed her two bags and said, "This is from me and your sister-in-law."

She imitated Lin Daiyu's veiled tone and said, "It's really hard for you, sister, to prepare a gift especially for me!"

"Well, a pair of shoes. I hope you can go further and further." Chu Yue thought the food in this restaurant seemed okay.

Xin Jiahui was speechless for a moment, pouting as she opened her gift. Seeing the earrings Li Weizhen had given her, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Weizhen, have you finally gotten the hang of it?"

Li Weizheng never thought that the things he had given as gifts before were so bad that his chopsticks were frozen in mid-air.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Xin Jiahui felt that this kind of aesthetic should be something that only women have.

"No, no!" he hurriedly explained.

"Your sister-in-law gave him some advice." Zhou Xingzhi explained with a hint of jealousy.

"What? You guys conspired to pick out gifts together but didn't invite me?" Su Weikai felt like he suddenly became an outsider among so many people.

"Let me tell you, you bunch of straight men don't understand us women at all. What kind of nonsense did you give me as gifts in the past? Fishing rods, those super-large boxes of cosmetics, and some kind of diamond roses. And one year, one of you actually gave me a razor!" Xin Jiahui complained incessantly.

Su Weikai originally wanted to take out the lipstick gift box he had prepared, but after hearing what she said, he was in a dilemma whether to take it or not.

"Brother Xiaokai, what have you prepared?" Everyone else had prepared gifts, but this dude was the only one who hadn't taken out his gift yet.

He looked frantically for help at a few people who had nothing to do with him, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Em...Are there good cosmetics in big boxes?" Seeing that no one spoke for him, he could only defend himself.

"As for the lipstick, it's okay." Chu Yue said from the side.

Finally, someone spoke up for him. Su Weikai breathed a sigh of relief and took out the lipstick he had prepared. "This is also what Sister Yue gave you for reference?" Xin Jiahui glanced at the two of them. Someone was helping to discipline the brothers, and it seemed like she could also benefit from it.

"How can I afford to invite that big Buddha?" Su Weikai said with some resentment.

After dinner, on the way back from celebrating his birthday, Zhou Xingzhi asked, "Do you like a big box of lipstick?"

"No, don't buy it!" Chu Yue warned him. "Oh." The child, who seemed about to do something bad but whose thoughts were guessed by the adults, could only agree obediently.

December is already here, and this year's Youth Art Festival is still busy.

Mo Xiaoxiao also sent her a WeChat message asking: "Assistant Chu, do you have any favorite celebrities? You could consider inviting them to a concert."

Chu Yue was packing some winter supplies to send to Huang Yunfu. She also had to book a plane ticket for Chu Jinyue. She had originally planned to take some time to clean up the Chu family villa, thinking that Chu Jinyue could stay there when he returned.

Zhou Xingzhi was busy with the Youth Art Festival in the study. Teacher Yang was coming, and his girlfriend would have to accompany the teacher and her brother to visit the prison.

"Let's go! Zhou Xingzhi." Chu Yue packed up his things and prepared to go out.

"Can I talk to your mother?" Zhou Xingzhi thought, he still had to talk to his mother-in-law.

"What do you have to talk about with her? About An Jie? Just tell me." Chu Yue hadn't heard him talk about An Jie for a long time. If he had sold the company, she might not even know about it.

"You can get your salary back next month. Anjie's production and orders have stabilized. I will send you the fourth quarter financial statements tomorrow." As for Anjie, he used some connections and money to save him.
