Before Luo Yingzi (played by Rayzha) came to Liangcheng Law Firm to work as a lawyer, she had always worked within the government system.

She felt that her "iron rice bowl" was too boring, so she took the bar exam just for fun.

As it turned out, she probably didn't expect that she would actually need to use that license.

Her husband suddenly disappeared; it was only after reporting it to the police and checking the surveillance footage that she found out he had run off with a mistress.

Running off was one thing, but he had also made off with all the money.

Forced by the need to make a living, Luo Yingzi asked her teacher, Mei Daliang, to write her a recommendation letter.

That's how she came to Liangcheng and became an intern lawyer.

Speaking of Luo Yingzi's teacher, she's actually a doppelgänger of Teacher Ouyang and Fu Wenyin.

It's just that Chen Cheng hasn't met her yet, so he doesn't know if there are any deviations.

Everyone in the office was busy with their own work and didn't notice Chen Cheng, an outsider, at all.

It could also be that Chen Cheng's surreptitious glances were too discreet to attract anyone's attention.

After walking around, Chen Cheng didn't see Luo Yingzi, nor did he see Qiu Hua.

Logically, if Luo Yingzi wasn't here, then Qiu Hua should have been.

Chen Cheng frowned; surely the timeline wasn't so off that even Qiu Hua hadn't been encountered by that pervert Han Zhitong yet.

Qiu Hua (played by Chuo Ni) was a girl from a poor rural area in the Northwest with an average degree and no background.

Before coming to Liangcheng Law Firm, she worked at a small law firm near the train station. She was handing out business cards at the court entrance to snatch clients when she happened to run into Han Zhitong, who then recruited her.

As for Han Zhitong's purpose, it was simple: he had his eyes on Qiu Hua.

Chen Cheng was starting to feel a bit disinterested and was about to go upstairs to see how Andy was progressing.

Suddenly, he saw a short-haired girl in a blue and white striped shirt walking toward him...

Hmm?

Chen Cheng's eyes immediately lit up.

Qiu Hua!

[Yan Zu, post the picture]

Qiu Hua didn't walk over; instead, she turned and walked out of the law firm's main entrance.

With a slight curl of his lips, Chen Cheng immediately followed her.

Stepping out of the sensor door, he didn't see Qiu Hua, but looking left and right, he caught sight of the fire door slowly closing.

Chen Cheng thought about it and decided not to walk straight over.

Blinking, he immediately had an idea and stepped forward to press the elevator control panel.

After going up two floors, he turned and entered the fire stairwell.

Before he had taken many steps, he heard Qiu Hua's voice.

She seemed to be answering a call.

"I don't have any money~" Qiu Hua's voice betrayed her helplessness.

This was a bit awkward; Chen Cheng just wanted a "chance encounter," he didn't mean to eavesdrop on her phone call.

But this...

Forget it, anyway, just from hearing that, Chen Cheng already knew what was going on.

To summarize: a sick father, a brother living off his parents, and a leeching mother.

I, Chen Jianan, am a good man praised by thousands of girls; if I don't help her, who will?

Chen Cheng smiled faintly and continued to walk slowly down the stairs.

"I'm still at work right now, next month..."

"Next month, when I get paid, I'll transfer it to you immediately, okay?"

"..."

After a long time of soothing, Qiu Hua finally managed to hang up that "difficult" call.

"Phew~" Qiu Hua let out a long breath, trying hard not to cry.

She stood there for a good while to calm her emotions, just about to return to the office.

Looking up, she happened to meet Chen Cheng's gaze.

Chen Cheng gave an awkward laugh, "Sorry, I didn't mean to overhear your call."

Qiu Hua was also a bit embarrassed and returned a polite smile, "Oh~ it's okay."

After saying that, Qiu Hua glanced at Chen Cheng again. Who was this?

He's quite handsome.

Qiu Hua didn't have the heart to think too much and nodded politely.

Just as she was about to turn back to the office, Chen Cheng called out to her.

"Hey, wait a moment..."

Qiu Hua turned back and asked suspiciously, "Sir, is there something I can help you with?"

Chen Cheng stepped down to the stair landing and walked up to Qiu Hua, "Um... miss, may I ask, is this floor the Liangcheng Law Firm?"

"Yes, it is," Qiu Hua nodded without thinking.

Chen Cheng immediately broke into a smile and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Then are you a lawyer too?"

At these words, a smile gradually curved on Qiu Hua's lips.

It looked like a case had come to her door.

Asking if this was the law firm and then asking if she was a lawyer.

Qiu Hua nodded, "Yes, I'm a lawyer at Liangcheng."

"Oh~ that's great." Chen Cheng slapped his thigh "excitedly."

With a smile on her face, Qiu Hua looked into Chen Cheng's eyes expectantly and asked tentatively, "Do you... have something you'd like to consult about?"

"There is something," Chen Cheng said, then feigned difficulty, "Um... but..."

"Is this matter a bit... hard to talk about?" Qiu Hua asked in a low, probing voice.

Chen Cheng nodded with an awkward smile.

Qiu Hua's mind raced, wondering what kind of matter could make such a handsome guy embarrassed to speak up.

"A marital issue?"

Chen Cheng quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I'm not even married, how could there be a marital issue."

"Then what is it?" Qiu Hua whispered, glancing around to make sure no one else was there. "Look, there's no one else here, why don't you..."

Chen Cheng also looked around, appearing "very cautious and conflicted." "Um..."

His eyes darted around. "How about this."

"Let's exchange contact information. This matter... wait until you're off work. After you're off, pick a place, and I'll come find you."

Off work... Hearing this, Qiu Hua was a bit suspicious.

But looking at Chen Cheng's handsome face and thinking about the potential case, she hesitated.

Qiu Hua pondered for a few seconds before pulling her phone out of her pocket. "Alright then~ let's add each other on green bubble. I'll contact you after work?"

What she lacked most right now were cases. She wanted to become a practicing lawyer, but Han Zhitong had been holding her back, not letting her transition.

If she could find a source for a major case herself, then whatever Han Zhitong said wouldn't matter.

Chen Cheng took out his phone and scanned her QR code, giving a harmless smile. "Okay, I'm free anytime today."

While operating her phone, Qiu Hua exchanged names with Chen Cheng.

"My name is Qiu Hua. You can call me Qiu Hua or Lawyer Qiu."

"And what is your surname?"

"..."

After adding each other's contact info, they didn't say much more. After a few brief pleasantries, Qiu Hua said goodbye and returned to the office.

Chen Cheng waited a while after Qiu Hua left before exiting the stairwell and re-entering Liangcheng Law Firm.

He had the receptionist lead him to the conference room on the second floor.

When Chen Cheng pushed the door open and entered, the discussion inside was just about finished.

Chen Cheng sat directly in the empty seat next to Andy and nodded with a smile to Wei Guoqiang opposite him.

Fang Lihong glanced at them suspiciously but didn't say anything.

She raised her hand and handed the will and inheritance legal documents she had verified over to Andy.

"President He, I have no more issues on my end."

"Inside are the property certificates and three sets of keys."

"Two sets for Shanghai and one for Beijing."

"There are also Mr. Andys Maternal Grandfather's valuable collections and some cash."

"If you have time, please take a look at them when you can."

Andy nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you~"

"Regarding the calligraphy and paintings, I'll explain everything to you in person after we return to Shanghai," Wei Guoqiang suddenly interjected.

Andy turned to look at Chen Cheng, "I don't know much about paintings, let alone domestic landscape paintings."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and looked at Wei Guoqiang, "Professor Wei, are all the calligraphy and paintings inherited by President He in these three houses?"

"Or are some lent to art galleries or museums for exhibition? Or are there any pieces under entrusted trading?"
