His wife's pregnancy bump disappeared, and Mr. Huo was going crazy missing her.

"..."

Qiao Mian felt even more panicked.

I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

The meeting room is on the third floor.

As they went up the stairs, Han Dongping reminded her in a serious, low voice, "Xiao Qiao, I'm the second-in-command of the law firm. Your future is in my hands. You need to be clear about what you should and shouldn't say."

This was a threat to her, telling her not to even think about complaining to Chairman Wen.

In fact, even if she files a complaint, it will ultimately harm her own interests.

Unless she accuses him of workplace sexual harassment...

However, she didn't have the leverage to fight him to the death.

After all, she still wants to stay in this industry.

"Did you understand?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Han Dongping glared at her unhappily.

Qiao Mian replied in a muffled voice, "I know."

Upon entering the conference room, one could immediately see Huo Yanbei sitting at the head of the conference table.

Wearing a well-tailored three-piece suit, with deep and defined features, he resembled a high and mighty king, exuding a cool and extraordinary aura.

With his arms crossed over his chest, he exuded an air of arrogance, a laptop computer placed in front of him.

She tilted her head slightly and talked to her assistant Chen Ke, who was sitting next to her.

His every gesture exuded the authority of someone in a superior position.

Chairman Wen sat opposite him, flipping through a thick contract.

Han Dongping and Qiao Mian took their seats in turn.

Out of the corner of her eye, she felt Huo Yanbei's sharp gaze fall on her. She lowered her eyelashes guiltily and didn't dare to look up.

Huo Yanbei's deep, calm gaze swept over Qiao Mian from a distance.

Unlike that night at the hospital, when she had a pure and natural face after washing away all the makeup, she was wearing makeup today.

It makes her even more beautiful.

A white Chinese-style stand-up collar shirt hugged her slender waist and full bust.

Her hair was tied in a low ponytail.

The ends of her hair hung smoothly down to her lower back.

Her soft, wispy hair framing her face was loosely curled, and her profile was delicate, exuding a London rose-like charm.

She is very quiet and gentle.

So eye-catching.

No wonder she attracts men's attention.

For some reason, he was curious about what her good-for-nothing boyfriend looked like...

At this moment, after reviewing the contract, Chairman Wen stood up with a beaming smile: "It is truly an honor for Ronghua Law Firm that President Huo has entrusted some of his business to our firm. Rest assured, we will certainly live up to your expectations."

Huo Yanbei smiled enigmatically: "This is all thanks to Director Han."

Upon being called out, Han Dongping quickly stood up, nodded to Huo Yanbei, and said, "It is my honor to serve President Huo."

Qiao Mian looked surprised.

The Huo family... wants to collaborate with their law firm?

Even a small project that slips through the fingers of the Huo Group can generate tens of millions in agency fees.

There are quite a few law firms in Beijing that are larger and more famous than Ronghua.

Even if there is cooperation, it won't benefit Ronghua.

unless……

Ronghua gave him what he wanted...

"Attorney Qiao, it seems you have a problem?"

The man's indifferent words interrupted Qiao Mian's thoughts.

She forced a faint smile. "How could that be? It's a good thing that the Huo family is cooperating with our law firm..."

Huo Yanbei's eyes became meaningful.

The words were addressed to Chairman Wen.

"Chairman Wen, I heard that the video Director Han gave you was produced by Attorney Qiao? It seems that I should be most grateful to Attorney Qiao."

He sold out Chairman Wen and Han Dongping with just one sentence.

Chairman Wen gave an awkward but polite smirk: "Attorney Qiao is a protégé personally trained by Director Han, and he's quite a talented individual."

Hearing this, Qiao Mian understood everything.

She frowned and looked at Han Dongping.

Han Dongping met her gaze for a moment, then quickly looked away guiltily and coughed.

Sure enough, it was Han Dongping who betrayed her.

They also gave the video to Chairman Wen.

Chairman Wen then presented it to Huo Yanbei.

They must have also promised to suppress the case of the mute girl.

No wonder Han Dongping told her to stop interfering in this case.

It turns out that within just two days, the higher-ups had already reached an agreement with Huo Yanbei on a deal.

Qiao Mian was indignant.

The powerful and wealthy really can control everything!

Next, Chairman Wen signed the agreement, and the two parties officially reached a cooperation agreement.

"Mr. Huo, I will set up a legal team as soon as possible and start working at Huo's."

At this point, he recommended, "Director Han is the most capable lawyer in our firm, so he should be the one to..."

"Didn't Chairman Wen just say that Attorney Qiao is a talented person?"

Huo Yanbei interrupted calmly.

Chairman Wen realized that Huo Yanbei had agreed with Han Dongping, and immediately chimed in, "Yes, although Attorney Qiao has not been practicing for long, he is serious about his work and has outstanding abilities. He is an excellent backbone of our firm."

Huo Yanbei nodded.

Chen Ke spoke up, "Chairman Wen, President Huo has other matters to attend to, so he'll be leaving now."

Chairman Wen quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "President Huo is very busy and dares not take up any more of your time."

Huo Yanbei hummed in agreement, slowly stood up, and strode out of the conference room.

Chairman Wen and Han Dongping carefully escorted the person to the elevator.

Until the elevator doors closed.

Chairman Wen patted Han Dongping on the shoulder with a smile, "Director Han, if you hadn't given me the video Qiao Mian gave you right away, I wouldn't have been able to connect with President Huo. President Huo just casually handed over a ten million yuan business deal. You deserve a lot of credit this time."

Han Dongping complimented, "I also owe my position to your guidance."

"Hmm, not bad, it wasn't for nothing that I put you in this position."

At this point, Chairman Wen instructed, "The case of the mute girl involves President Huo's brother-in-law, so you must handle it properly."

"Don't worry, I've taken care of it."

Back in his office, Han Dongping couldn't help but ask, "Why did President Huo specifically ask for Qiao Mian? In the firm, there are many lawyers more qualified than her; she shouldn't be on the list, right?"

Han Dongping did not want to release the person.

Qiao Mian was a little fat sheep he had been eyeing for a long time.

They're running away before we've even had a chance to eat.

How could he accept this?

Having worked with Han Dongping for many years, how could Chairman Wen not see through his little scheme?

He immediately warned him, "This isn't the first time I've heard rumors about you having an ambiguous relationship with a female subordinate. Han Dongping, you better watch yourself! If it weren't for your contribution this time, you would definitely be punished."

"Yes, Chairman Wen, I will definitely be more mindful of the impact in the future."

"By the way, where's Xiao Qiao?"

Only then did the two realize that Qiao Mian, who had been following them, was gone.

……

First floor.

Qiao Mian ran down the stairs and stopped Huo Yanbei.

Looking at the woman before him, breathless and with a flushed face, Huo Yanbei sneered: "Attorney Qiao came here wanting to talk about how you went undercover in a bar and filmed evidence?"

After saying that, his slender fingers suddenly grabbed the woman's chin, his tone icy: "That night, Attorney Qiao signed the settlement agreement, looking like he had suffered a great injustice, but secretly he left a video. Qiao Mian, no one has ever dared to play me like this before. You are really bold."

Qiao Mian was startled by his imposing aura. She quickly pushed his hand away, took a step back, and handed him a document: "Mr. Huo, I apologize for keeping the video, but this case is related to your brother-in-law..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Yanbei waved his hand, knocking the documents out of her hand.
