Episode 20

Ren Jiatong was surprised that Bai Xiao could still find time to modify the PPT in such a busy work and did not criticize her.Anniversary explained that Bai Xiao may seem stern on the surface, but he always talks about the situation and never takes it personally.Work is very important to her, and no matter how tired she is, she will never allow herself to lower her standards.For this reason, Ren Jiatong felt deeply guilty and thought that if he had been more prepared, he might have been able to buy more rest time for Bai Xiao.

On the other side, Jiang Chen noticed that Yan Fei rarely worked overtime at the law firm, and guessed that she was working not for work, but for someone she cared about.Yan Fei has realized her feelings for Anniversary, but cannot be sure of the other person's intentions.She confided her confusion to Jiang Chen, but did not mention Anniversary's name.

After Jiang Chen heard this, he took a photo of Yan Fei with his mobile phone and deliberately made his fingers appear in the picture.He suggested that Yan Fei set the photo to be visible only to specific people, because if the other person had a good impression of her, they would definitely react.After Yan Fei did as she was told, Anniversary checked the photos again and again.When he came back from buying late-night snacks, he casually put his mobile phone on the table, and Ren Jiatong accidentally saw Yan Fei's photo on the screen.

After Zhou Xian left, Ren Jiatong chatted with Bai Xiao.Bai Xiao mentioned that due to her heavy workload, she was unable to go to the theater to accompany her daughter, and she felt guilty for her daughter Niuniu every time she went on a business trip.Bai Xiao loves her work and her children deeply. As a single mother, she must shoulder the responsibility of supporting her family. From a personal perspective, she can also gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from her work.

After the court hearing ended the next day, Bai Xiao comforted the family members in the hall. Although they tried their best, the result was not satisfactory, which made Ren Jiatong feel unhappy.Anniversary said that lawyers and doctors have many similarities. Even if they try their best, they may not be able to get the ideal outcome. However, accompanying the clients through this difficult journey and giving them sufficient respect and support is of great significance in itself.

Guo Xiaoyu sent the draft legal opinion to Song Yifan, and elaborated on the analysis ideas and forward-looking suggestions on AI compliance risks. The latter coincided with Song Yifan's ideas and was affirmed by him.Song Yifan lamented Guo Xiaoyu's rapid growth and promised to give her extra points this round.

Returning to the law firm early on the anniversary, she meets Yan Fei by chance.Yan Fei proposed to have supper together, but Zhou Zhou declined.Because Anniversary had sent her a message in the morning and then retracted it, Yan Fei inquired about the content and asked why he returned to the institute in a hurry instead of going home. In essence, she wanted to find out what Anniversary meant to her.Anniversary was silent for a moment, saying that he did not want the working relationship between the two to become awkward, indirectly expressing his attitude.Yan Fei didn't ask any more questions and left disappointed.At this time, it started to rain heavily outside. Zhou Zhou chased him out with an umbrella, but Yan Fei didn't notice and had already driven away.

When Yan Fei and Guo Xiaoyu were having supper, they vaguely mentioned the rejection of their confession, and said that since they had confessed, they could still be colleagues in the future.Guo Xiaoyu mistakenly thought that the person she was referring to was Jiang Chen, and immediately felt grievances for Ren Jiatong, thinking that Jiang Chen was a scumbag who had two things to do.At this time, Ren Jiatong was carrying his luggage home and saw Jiang Chen waiting downstairs.

Jiang Chen stepped forward and asked her why she didn't reply to the message and even blocked her on WeChat. He once again expressed his feelings and pretended to be unwell to act coquettishly.During the conversation, Jiang Chen learned that Ren Jiatong had a misunderstanding because he saw Yan Fei's photo, and immediately explained the whole story.The two agreed that Anniversary's treatment of Yan Fei was not unintentional, but they were just concerned.

That night, Jiang Chen sent Ren Jiatong home and solemnly asked her if she was serious about her feelings.Ren Jiatong stopped and stood on tiptoes to kiss, but was interrupted by a call.Without waiting for Jiang Chen to answer, Jiang Chen directly hugged her into his arms and kissed her.Their hearts were beating fast, and they couldn't sleep when they returned to their residence.

Early the next morning, Ren Jiatong found that Jiang Chen had prepared baby warmers and brown sugar for her.Anniversary and Bai Xiao initially reviewed the case at hand: evidence showed that the other party gave a large tennis bag to the client Xia Jun when they met, and later claimed during internal investigation that the bag was filled with cash.Bai Xiao pointed out that although the existing evidence chain seems complete, there is a lack of direct evidence to prove that the bag Xia Jun received at that time did contain cash. This may be a key point that can be broken through.

She arranged to lead Ren Jiatong and other interns every year to comprehensively review Xiajun Company's internal investigation report and related details, and then hold a meeting to determine follow-up strategies.Song Yifan couldn't hide his jealousy when he learned that Bai Xiao's ex-boyfriend Gao Lang had sent flowers.Guo Xiaoyu gossiped to everyone that Gao Lang's visit this time was actually to seek help from Bai Xiao for his current girlfriend's case, and his words often contained gunshots and sticks, alluding to Jiang Chen.
