Although Jiang Tingyan is an orphan, he has made a name for himself in the legal world with his unremitting efforts and outstanding legal talent. Lin Wanyi founded a law firm with her courage and foresight, and Jiang Tingyan became a partner in her law firm. The two appreciate and support each other. Whether it is career decisions or trivial matters in life, they can be seen walking hand in hand and achieving each other in love and trust.

Su Yao in the law firm is a lawyer who is passionate about the legal profession and highly professional. She always treats every case with a rigorous attitude, and no subtle legal provisions escape her eyes. She regards every case as an important battle and devotes all her efforts to it.

Jiang Tingyan encountered a farce of hit-and-run while on his way out. At that time, he was driving a car on a busy and lively street. The green trees on both sides of the street were like huge green umbrellas. The sun shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow on the ground. Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed out from the roadside like a ghost. Jiang Tingyan instinctively braked urgently. After the car stopped, the man lay straight in front of the car, groaning in pain, pretending to be injured. Jiang Tingyan quickly calmed himself down. He first carefully checked the surrounding environment and found that he was in a very busy neighborhood. Behind him was a supermarket with a constant stream of customers. People came and went at the door, and the collision of shopping carts and people’s conversations were intertwined. Opposite was a small park, where old people were leisurely practicing Tai Chi. Every move seemed so slow and steady. Children were playing and laughing on the lawn, chasing each other, and laughter came into his ears from time to time. He took a deep breath, got out of the car, and spoke to the man in a calm tone: “Brother, don’t get excited. I will definitely take responsibility, but we have to figure out the situation first.” At the same time, he pointed his eyes firmly around and said, “Look, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, and my car is also equipped with a driving recorder. The truth of the matter can definitely be found out. If you are really injured, it is best for us to wait for professional doctors and police to deal with it.” The man kept crying and waving his hands in the air, shouting, “Don’t try to cheat. It was you who hit me.” You have to compensate me!” Jiang Tingyan was unmoved and decisively took out his mobile phone to call the police. While waiting for the police to arrive, the man tearfully recounted how difficult his family was. His body kept twisting and his face was full of sadness. Then he said in a sour tone: “You look like a rich man. This little compensation is nothing to you.” Jiang Tingyan remained expressionless. He just stood aside quietly and occasionally responded: “Let’s talk about everything after the police arrive.” Passersby around also began to talk about it. An aunt shook her head and said: ” It’s hard to say. He looks pitiful, but the driver doesn’t look like a bad guy. “A young man curled his lips and crossed his arms: “I think there’s something wrong with this old man. How can he shout so vigorously after being hit?” When the police arrived, Jiang Tingyan nodded politely to the police, then took out his mobile phone calmly. The mobile phone reflected the metallic luster in the sun. He skillfully called up the video of the driving recorder and said, “Comrade police, this is the record at that time, please check it.” When the police took the mobile phone to check the video, Jiang Tingyan’s eyes were focused. Staring at the screen intently, he pointed at the moment when the man rushed out in the video, with his slender and powerful fingers, and explained in detail: “You see, I was driving normally here, the speed was steady and moderate, and he suddenly rushed out from the roadside without any warning, and his movements were very deliberate. The angle of his body leaning forward and the running posture were obviously not in line with normal accidents. It was obviously a deliberate fraud.” After watching the video, the man’s face turned pale in an instant, as if all the blood had been drained away. He wanted to quibble but didn’t know where to start. He could only lower his head obediently like a defeated rooster under the stern gaze of the police. Jiang Tingyan breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the car, sat in the driver’s seat, recalled the scene just now, and couldn’t help shaking his head, secretly thanking himself for his calmness. He thought that he must share this experience with Lin Wanyi after returning home. The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and Lin Wanyi’s surprised or funny expression appeared in his mind, and his mood became a little happier.

In the law firm, Su Yao was fully engaged in a merger and acquisition case of a large enterprise. Her desk was piled with thick documents, which were piled up like a mountain. The computer screen flashed with dense data tables and text analysis, like a vast ocean of information. In a crucial meeting, she confidently proposed a bold and innovative merger and acquisition plan. In the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and serious. All the partners, senior lawyers and relevant team members of the law firm gathered together. Su Yao stood in front of the conference room, and the projector showed her carefully prepared plan materials. However, a highly respected and highly prestigious senior lawyer in the law firm questioned her plan. The senior lawyer frowned and said seriously: “Su Yao, your plan is too risky. We have never tried such an operation mode. It may bring huge risks to the law firm. If there is a problem, not only will the client suffer losses, but the reputation of the law firm will also be seriously affected.” His voice echoed in the conference room, and the already tense atmosphere became even more depressing. Su Yao took a deep breath and stood up. She raised her chin slightly, glanced at everyone in the conference room with a firm look, and then said in an orderly manner: “Everyone, I understand your concerns. However, please listen to me explain in detail the basis of my plan. First of all, judging from the market trend, the industry is currently in a stage of rapid integration, and the traditional M&A model can no longer meet the needs of enterprises. Although our plan seems risky, it is actually based on in-depth market research and comprehensive analysis of target companies.” As she spoke, she clicked the remote control in her hand, and the picture on the projector switched, showing various detailed market data and in-depth analysis charts. “Secondly, in terms of risk control, we are not unprepared. I have communicated with the professional risk assessment team many times, and they have developed a detailed risk response plan for us. For example, in terms of funding arrangements, we will adopt diversified financing channels to disperse funding pressure; in terms of legal compliance, we will strictly follow the requirements of relevant laws and regulations to carry out operations in every link to ensure that there are no legal loopholes.” Her voice was steady and powerful, and her logic was clear. Gradually, some colleagues who were originally skeptical began to be convinced by her. They nodded slightly, and their eyes showed a thoughtful and approving look. After several weeks of arduous efforts, Su Yao’s plan was finally recognized by the client, and the merger and acquisition case was smoothly promoted. In this process, Su Yao led the team to conduct many difficult negotiations with all parties. Each negotiation was like a fierce battle. Su Yao argued on the negotiation table. Her words were sharp and precise, fully demonstrating her professionalism and negotiation skills. This success has brought Su Yao’s reputation in the law firm to a higher level, and she has also won the respect and trust of more colleagues. Colleagues began to actively communicate and cooperate with her, asking her questions, and Su Yao always patiently answered and shared her experience and insights with everyone.

At the same time, Jiang Tingyan encountered a workplace dispute in the law firm. In order to suppress him and gain control of an important project, a competitor maliciously framed him for leaking company secrets. The company quickly launched an investigation. Although Jiang Tingyan was clear-headed and firmly believed in his innocence, he was also well aware of the seriousness of the matter. He was asked to temporarily stop the work at hand and cooperate with the company’s investigation team to conduct an investigation. The members of the investigation team questioned Jiang Tingyan in detail, checked his work computer, email records, and call records with external personnel, etc. Jiang Tingyan always actively cooperated. He explained his work process and cooperation with relevant personnel to the investigation team in detail. His attitude was sincere and frank. When he was questioned, he firmly told the investigation team: “I believe the company will find out the truth and give me justice.” Lin Wanyi gave him full support behind the scenes. She used her extensive network of contacts in the legal community to consult professional commercial law experts everywhere to gain an in-depth understanding of how to better protect Jiang Tingyan’s rights and interests in this situation. At the same time, she also helped Jiang Tingyan analyze the situation. In the study, they studied the relevant legal provisions and company regulations together for countless nights. Lin Wanyi whispered: “Tingyan, don’t be afraid. As long as we have reason and evidence, we will definitely find a solution.” Jiang Tingyan held her hand tightly and nodded in agreement.

Su Yao’s family is concerned. Her child has difficulties in learning, especially in math. Every night, she sits by her child’s desk, looking at her tenderly and patiently tutoring her. She whispers to her child, “Baby, let’s look at this question together. Tell me your thoughts first. I believe you can find a solution.” Then, she and her child develop a detailed study plan, arrange the study time reasonably every day, and conduct special exercises for the child’s weak points. Under the lights at night, the mother and son are closely attached to each other, spending one night after another reading by lamplight.

Jiang Tingyan and Lin Wanyi’s family life is also facing challenges, and both parents have frequent health problems. Although Jiang Tingyan has no biological parents, he cares deeply for Lin Wanyi’s mother. He often goes to the market in person to select fresh ingredients and carefully prepares nutritious meals for the elderly. Every dish is full of his heart. When it is time for the elderly to take medicine, he always reminds them on time and carefully prepares warm water. Once, Lin Wanyi saw Jiang Tingyan so attentive, and said with emotion: “Tingyan, you are so good to my mother, just like a biological son.” Jiang Tingyan smiled and replied: “Wanyi, your mother is my mother, and it is my duty to take care of her.”

The team-building activity of the law firm was held in a scenic suburban resort. Various team-building games and exchange activities were held there. Su Yao accidentally met an old classmate who she had not seen for many years during the activity, and the two chatted about their past lives with great interest. During the chat, a sentence from the old classmate aroused Su Yao’s vigilance. The old classmate said: “Su Yao, do you know? I seem to have heard that your ex-husband was very close to a mysterious person before your divorce. I didn’t care too much at the time. Now think about it, will it have something to do with your divorce?” Su Yao was shocked. She had never thought that there might be other reasons behind the failure of her marriage. When she returned home, she began to carefully recall some details of the past. She found that her ex-husband’s behavior was indeed a bit abnormal for a period of time before the breakdown of the marriage. He often received some mysterious calls and then sneaked out, and he seemed to be doing some operations in secret in terms of family property. Su Yao decided to investigate secretly. With her keen legal insight and tenacious perseverance, she began to collect various clues. She first started with her ex-husband’s social connections, and through some legal channels, she learned that her ex-husband had close contacts with a businessman named Zhao Gang during that period. She further investigated and found that Zhao Gang also had subtle connections with some affairs in the law firm. He had once had a business cooperation with a former partner of the law firm, and when the former partner left the law firm, he seemed to have taken away some important client resources, causing the law firm to suffer certain losses. Su Yao began to suspect that her ex-husband colluded with Zhao Gang and deliberately created family conflicts in order to distract her attention and make her make mistakes in her work at the law firm, thereby creating opportunities for Zhao Gang to obtain the law firm’s internal information and client resources.

After Jiang Tingyan learned about this, he decided without hesitation to fight side by side with Su Yao. They began to collect evidence more deeply, carefully avoiding the enemy’s eyes. They often quietly searched for relevant information on the Internet late at night. Under the dim light, Jiang Tingyan looked at the computer screen and whispered: “Su Yao, we must be careful and not let them discover our actions.” Su Yao nodded in agreement. They carefully analyzed various data and documents, not letting go of any suspicious details. During the investigation, they encountered various dangers and obstacles. Once, when Su Yao was going to a place that might be related to the case for investigation, she found that someone was following her. She was startled and quickly changed her route and hid in a shopping mall. She nervously called Jiang Tingyan: “Tingyan, I’m being followed and I’m in the mall now.” Jiang Tingyan hurriedly said: “Don’t panic, find a safe place to hide, I’ll be here soon.” (End of this chapter)
