"Are they deliberately trying to blow this out of proportion?" Qin Youxuan's face changed color.
"Yes, you've just returned to the country, and if you get involved with nightclub brawls and charges of malicious injury now, plus the fact that you haven't finished your degree, I'm afraid the board of directors will oppose your entry into Qin Group. This matter can only be settled privately. Think it over carefully and tell me the whole story in detail." Tang Nian became serious.
In the office, there was a sudden silence, and only Qin Youxuan's low voice echoed as she recounted the incident.
"... Uncle Tang, that's what happened. The bastard had it coming. I didn't ruin him out of mercy!" Qin Youxuan, recalling the scene, couldn't help her anger.
"It seems, at the time, the other party didn't recognize you. They only saw you as a regular girl?" Tang Nian pondered for a moment, "No, the other party's attitude changed too quickly. They must have figured it out later. This time, it was intentional revenge."
"What should I do?" Qin Youxuan bit her lip, she had figured it out, too.
The other party's delivery of a lawyer letter was not to seek compensation, but rather to cause trouble.
However, it was precisely at this time that she could not afford to let anything go wrong...
"Xuan, actually if possible, I suggest you go and apologize to the other party. You know very well, once the court is involved, the media will blow it up. Win or lose, your visit to Zhi Shang right after returning to the country will damage your image."
Tang Nian cautiously reminded her, copying the ward number left by the other party onto a note and handing it to Qin Youxuan.
Qin Youxuan stared at the note in front of her, biting her lip, but did not reach out to take it.
"Uncle Tang, if I can get the surveillance footage from Zhi Shang last night, wouldn't that make the situation much more favorable to me?"
"...Indeed, you're truly a law student. You think fast. If there's surveillance footage, it can certainly reveal the truth. We can not only define your charge as self-defense, but also countercharge the other party with harassment."
Tang Nian said with a smile.
He took back the note in his hand, looking at the stubborn girl standing before him.
She still hadn't changed a bit, never willing to compromise in matters where she did nothing wrong.
"I know what I need to do!" Quin Youxuan stood up, grabbed her bag, and started to leave.
...
As Qin Youxuan stepped out of Zhi Shang, she looked up at the drizzling weather and narrowed her eyes.
[Sorry, Miss Qin, the surveillance camera in Zhi Shang's lobby was broken last night. The repairman only came today. I'm afraid we won't be able to help you with the surveillance video.]
"A very timely failure." Qin Youxuan moved her cherry lips and sarcastically laughed out loud.
She tightened her grip on her handbag, opened the car door, and sat in the driver's seat.
She grabbed the steering wheel with both hands, staring fixedly ahead.
After a moment, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number, "I want to find a man named Mr. Jie... Uh, all I know is that he's male, and the people around him call him Mr. Jie... Yes, at Zhi Shang."
After hanging up, Qin Youxuan couldn't resist banging her head softly.
She must be crazy, why would she think that man would help her?
She didn't even know who he was.
The most ridiculous part was that she'd called a detective agency to find a man named Mr. Jie. If they could find him, she'd eat her hat!
Qin Youxuan tossed her phone onto the passenger seat, covered her face with both hands, and leaned her head on the steering wheel.
