Chapter 912 Just tell us
As the morning sun just shone through the glass curtain wall of Zidong International Law Firm, Yu Fei's car stopped steadily at the door.
An Yu pulled the hood of her sweatshirt, buried half of her face in the mask, and followed Yu Fei to push the door and get out of the car.
People were coming and going in and out of the hall, creating a busy scene.
In the hall, the sound of high heels stepping on the marble floor seemed particularly light in the empty space.
Yu Fei and An Yi approached the front desk. The receptionist smiled professionally and said, "Hello, how may I help you?"
"We are looking for Lawyer Gu. Is he here?" Yu Fei asked politely.
His eyes swept calmly over the staff members beside him who were whispering with their heads down.
Their eyes were like hooks, and when they fell on An Yu, they contained undisguised inquiry.
The tiny whispers pierced An Yu's ears like needles: "Isn't that Miss An?"
"Looking for Lawyer Gu? An Tai's mess is so bad that even a god can't save him..."
She clenched her fingers and forced herself to look away, staring only at the desk at the front desk.
The trivial discussions buzzed into her ears like mosquitoes. An Yu subconsciously hid behind Yu Fei, her fingers tightly gripping the bag strap.
She adjusted her mask and pulled the brim of her hat lower, as if this could block out the prying eyes.
"Sorry," the receptionist checked the records and said with an embarrassed look, "Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist's smile faded a little.
"Lawyer Gu and two other lawyers have been following up on a case overseas these days and haven't returned yet."
Yu Fei turned his head to look at An Yu. Her shoulders were slightly slumped, and she obviously didn't expect that the trip would be in vain.
He sighed and nodded to the receptionist: "Okay, we got it, thank you."
After going out, Yu Fei opened the car door and helped An Yu get in, then he walked to the driver's seat and got in.
His eyes fell on the listless An Yu, and he soothed her softly, "Sister An Yu,
Now that we're here, why not... ask Jiang Chengyu for help? There's no other way now."
An Yu was silent for a while, her fingertips gently drawing circles on her knees, and finally nodded almost inaudibly.
Yu Fei received An Yu's tacit approval and drove to the main entrance of Zidong International Group's office building.
The imposing glass building is much taller than the law firm. The white-collar workers coming and going at the door are hurried, giving off a sense of alienation that keeps strangers away.
The two stood by the road, watching the people coming in and out. Yu Fei looked around.
He glanced at his watch and muttered quietly, "It's nine o'clock in the morning now. It would be great if I could run into Mr. Jiang by chance, so I don't have to go in and see his face."
Just as the two of them were looking around, a black commercial vehicle stopped steadily on the side of the road, and the door opened.
Gu Ze jumped down with a smile, holding a few drawings in his hand and said angrily:
"Look at your good temper. You've spoiled the animals so much that they'll follow you no matter what you say."
Jiang Chengyu frowned, patted the white horse's neck gently, urged it to get off the car, and then corrected it:
"Its name is Shengxue. It's a gift from Jiang Shuo to me. It's not an animal."
While saying this, a thought flashed through my mind: it was the incarnation of the white horse left by my father in Xiaoji's painting.
It was a relic, but also a memory. With Shengxue by his side, it felt like Xiaoji was still with him.
Jiang Chengyu then got out of the car holding a briefcase, carefully protecting something in his arms.
Gu Ze smiled and raised his hands in surrender: "I was wrong, I was wrong. Here, take the food. I'll go back tonight and make you your favorite food to make amends."
Jiang Chengyu took the blueprint from Gu Ze's hand, a faint smile spreading across his lips: "Who wants you to apologize? Get in the car quickly, see you tonight."
Gu Ze smiled and waved, "See you tonight, bye!" and got into the car.
Feng Tao looked at Gu Ze's wishful thinking, shook his head helplessly, stepped on the accelerator, merged into the traffic, and disappeared.
Jiang Chengyu lowered his head and said to Shengxue, "Let's go upstairs and find Jiang Li. Let her take you out for a walk. You're bored at home, aren't you?"
Shengxue hissed and followed him briskly into the hall.
At this moment, a slightly hesitant voice sounded from behind him: "Boss Jiang..."
Shengxue didn't care whether Jiang Chengyu followed her or not, and followed the crowd into the company.
Many employees in the elevator happily touched it. Its familiarity with the company is comparable to that of an old employee.
In addition, everyone knew that the little white horse was a gift from the young prince Jiang Shuo to President Jiang, so naturally they all loved it very much.
Jiang Chengyu turned around when he heard the voice and was slightly startled when he saw two people standing not far away.
An Yu was wearing black-framed glasses and a mask, with her hat pulled down low. Seeing Jiang Chengyu's confused face, she didn't react for a moment.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm An Yu." The woman took off her mask, revealing a slightly pale face with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.
Jiang Chengyu suddenly understood and said quickly, "Miss An, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you."
He looked at the blueprints in his arms and the briefcase he was carrying, and saw that both his hands were occupied, so he had to move aside and said, "Please follow me."
After that, he led the way and walked straight into the exclusive elevator.
When the elevator door to the top floor opened, Jiang Li was seen squatting on the ground, teasing Sheng Xue with a dried carrot in his hand.
"Good morning, President Jiang!"
"Morning! Wait a minute, take Shengxue out for a walk. He's been locked up at home lately and must be bored."
"I understand, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Li responded readily, touched Shengxue's head, took out a small bag of dried carrots from the cabinet, and handed it to Shengxue's mouth.
Jiang Chengyu brought An Yu and Yu Fei into the office. "Please sit wherever you want. What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?"
"No need to trouble you, Mr. Jiang." An Yu sat down and got straight to the point.
"We're here to look for Lawyer Gu, but we didn't see him at the office, and we don't have his contact information... We're really at our wit's end, so we're here for your help."
Jiang Chengyu had just put his briefcase and blueprints on the table. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Oh, is that so? No problem."
As he spoke, he walked to the door, opened it and called out, "Jiang Li, two cups of coffee."
"Okay, Mr. Jiang." Jiang Li quickly came in with two cups of coffee. When he got closer, he could see the person on the sofa clearly.
He was stunned for a moment, then politely asked, "Miss An?" Apparently, An Yu covered herself too tightly at the office door just now, so Jiang Li didn't recognize her.
An Yu looked up and exchanged glances with the surprised Jiang Li, then nodded, "Thank you."
Yu Fei also thanked him. Jiang Li put down his coffee and politely left.
Jiang Chengyu, standing in front of his desk, picked up his phone and dialed a number, waiting for the other party to pick up;
I stared at the documents that needed to be processed urgently and read them. After a lot of effort, the phone call was finally connected.
Gu Qinming asked nervously, "Hey, Mr. Jiang, what's going on?"
Jiang Chengyu asked concisely: "Where are you now?"
Gu Qinming on the other end of the phone sounded a little puzzled, but she didn't hesitate and said, "I just left the airport and was about to go back to the law firm."
"Oh, if you don't have anything urgent, just come to my office!" Jiang Chengyu ordered.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang," Gu Qinming said concisely and clearly, then hung up the phone.
Dou Jinde drove the luxury car steadily with both hands. He glanced at Gu Qinming through the rearview mirror and asked, "What's going on? Is Mr. Jiang in trouble again?"
"I don't know. We'll know once we get to the office." Gu Qinming interrupted Dou Jinde's question.
As soon as the three lawyers' car parked downstairs and the door opened, Dou Jinde stepped out first.
He stretched out his suit jacket, and the noisy energy actually brought out a bit of "majesty".
Guo Binyan followed closely behind, carrying a briefcase, a symbol of professionalism and professionalism. His steps were steady, as if he had just come out of court.
Gu Qinming walked at the end, his leather shoes making crisp sounds as they tapped against the ground, his eyes showing a professional and capable look.
The three of them walked side by side to the lobby. As soon as they entered the elevator, they met several familiar faces from various departments.
Someone greeted with a smile: "Three lawyers are here? What's the important matter that brought you to headquarters today?"
Dou Jinde immediately answered, his tone full of his usual jokingness: "Boss Jiang just called to have tea, so even the most important thing has to be put aside, right?"
Guo Binyan added slowly, "Oh? You're not thinking about Mr. Jiang's bottles of fine wine anymore? When did the taste become bland?"
"Puff..." Gu Qinming couldn't help laughing, and reached out to gently pat Guo Binyan's shoulder, "Old Guo, it still has to be you."
"The one who knows me best is Guo Binyan!" Dou Jinde stiffened his neck, looking shameless.
"Anything from Mr. Jiang is good. I must cherish everything I have. Whether it's tea or wine, it's all my precious treasures."
As he was speaking, the elevator dinged to a stop, and the people in the department walked out, saying goodbye with a smile, "See you later, all three of you."
"See you later." The three responded, and the elevator door slowly closed and continued to rise to the top floor.
When they reached the top floor, Jiang Li was squatting and teasing Sheng Xue. When he saw the three people coming out, he immediately stood up with a smile.
He made a "please" gesture and said, "Three barristers, Mr. Jiang is waiting inside. You can just go in."
When the three of them pushed the door open, they saw An Yu and Yu Fei sitting on the sofa.
Jiang Chengyu stood up from behind his desk and raised his hand to signal, "You three are very busy and have worked hard. Please take a seat."
After the three of them sat down on the sofa opposite, he introduced them directly: "This is Miss An Yu from Antai Technology. She has been waiting here for a long time."
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Li came in with a tray and placed three cups of steaming coffee in front of the three people one by one.
He whispered, "Enjoy your meal, everyone," and then quietly retreated.
When An Yu saw the three lawyers, she hurriedly stood up from her seat, smiled, and nodded slightly to the three lawyers to express her respect and gratitude.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Dou, and Mr. Guo, thank you so much for taking the time to come here." An Yu's voice was gentle and humble.
Seeing this, Gu Qinming smiled and responded, "Miss An, you're too polite. Since President Jiang asked, we naturally came.
If you have any questions or need to know anything, please feel free to tell us. There is no rush."
An Yu looked at Gu Qinming gratefully, then slowly sat back on the sofa.
I adjusted my sitting position slightly to make myself feel more comfortable.
She was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to express herself.
Finally, An Yi said, "I'd like to inquire about the status of Antai Technology.
Regarding my parents' case, what is the lowest possible outcome in terms of sentencing?"
Her tone was a little heavy, and she was obviously very concerned about this issue.
