Episode 19

Yan Fei was worried about her assessment results, so she asked Anniversary for advice on how to deal with it.Anniversary said that as a teaching lawyer, it was inconvenient for her to show favoritism, but she would not interfere with her seeking opportunities from Bai Xiao. Yan Fei understood instantly.That night, Jiang Chen took the initiative to find Guo Xiaoyu. He believed that Ren Jiatong and Li Ke were under pressure due to the loss of documents. After all, the matter was related to their fate, so he discussed with Guo Xiaoyu to return to the law firm to review the situation on that day.

However, it was impossible to determine whose hands the original was based on the location of the workstation alone. It happened that Li Ke returned to the law firm and the three of them reviewed the details together.Guo Xiaoyu's unintentional action triggered Li Ke's memory. He recalled that Ren Jiatong accidentally knocked over the coffee. He subconsciously stuffed the original documents at hand into the pile of documents, and then mistakenly put the entire pile of documents into the shredder.

Because of this, Li Ke was in a state of panic. He left in a hurry on the pretext of feeling unwell and sent a message to his sister on the way back, saying that he seemed to have done something wrong.On the other hand, Jiang Chen and Guo Xiaoyu became suspicious of Li Ke, so they found the anniversary the next day and demonstrated to him the process of losing the reminder letter.

Niannian was about to report the progress of the investigation into the missing documents to Bai Xiao, but learned that Li Ke had gone to Bai Xiao to confess the truth first.Li Ke said that he had always believed that getting Jun'an's offer was his sister's biggest expectation, but his sister told him on the phone that her real wish was that he could live according to his own wishes.

Although Li Ke likes Jun An very much, he is confused about his future career direction.This mistake troubled Bai Xiao and made him feel deeply remorseful. He was also aware of the reality of the situation of female lawyers in the industry. On the surface, although there were many female lawyers in law schools, the proportion of women promoted to partner level was much lower than that of men. This was not because they lacked ability, but because they faced more structural obstacles and needed to work much harder than men to gain equal recognition.

Therefore, Li Ke does not want to implicate Bai Xiao and Ren Jiatong due to personal mistakes, and he does not want to delay the career development of a potential female lawyer like Ren Jiatong.In Li Ke's view, you should take responsibility for making mistakes. Even if you don't know what kind of person you will become in the future, you must not become the kind of person you don't like.After hearing what Li Ke said, Bai Xiao was deeply pleased with his responsibility and sobriety.

Later, Jiang Chen, Guo Xiaoyu and Zhou Nian accompanied Li Ke to sort out his personal belongings.As a senior brother, Anniversary is sincerely proud of his sense of responsibility.Ren Jiatong rushed over and tried to persuade Li Ke to stay until the matter was completely clarified, but Li Ke insisted that he was indeed at fault and sincerely wished Ren Jiatong a good future.After that, he hugged his belongings and left Jun'an Law Firm alone under the watchful eyes of Ren Jiatong.

The results of the fifth round of assessment were announced. Jiang Chen ranked first, Ren Jiatong second, Yan Fei third, and Guo Xiaoyu at the bottom.Yan Fei hopes to join Bai Xiao's team, but Bai Xiao has chosen Ren Jiatong and is sure of Yan Fei's ability.Nian Nian noticed that Yan Fei was in a bad mood and took her to the top of the mountain to see the city lights.Yan Fei mentioned that her life has always followed family arrangements, as if it had been planned for a long time.Anniversary patiently explained and promised to share his experience with her after the trial.Yan Fei suddenly asked Zhou Nian if she had a good impression of her. Zhou Nian was slightly flustered and explained that it was just a matter of concern among colleagues.

Guo Xiaoyu took the initiative to contact Song Yifan and asked to be assigned a task, and took over the legal opinion writing work for Yi Aiwan's AI model research and development case. Song Yifan agreed to give her a chance to try.On the other hand, Ren Jiatong participated in Bai Xiao's major project for the first time, and he worked overtime at the law firm while being excited.She noticed that Jiang Chen was in a low mood and guessed it was related to family matters.Jiang Chen refused to answer calls from his mother many times, and Ren Jiatong silently accompanied him to work.Later, Zhou Xian and Ren Jiatong went on a business trip with Bai Xiao.Ren Jiatong quickly got into work and was busy until late at night.During the court session, she discovered that the PPT had been modified and thought it was the work of Anniversary, so she apologized for the inadequacy of her original version.Anniversary told her that the editor was actually Bai Xiao.
