Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

One evening, I suddenly received a call from Xiao Yuan, asking us to meet with the company's attorney for a financial dispute the next day on his behalf. Without a second thought, I agreed. Although I hadn't taken the bar exam, I knew a fair amount about the law. Besides, I was only meeting with them as a senior executive; our legal team would handle everything else.

The next day, we went to the other company and were seated in a conference room. After about ten minutes, the other company's executives and lawyers arrived. We stood up, shook hands, and then began the negotiation.

Their lawyer spoke first. I took one look and didn't dare to look again. Oh my goodness! This is what they call "intimidating without even being angry!" She just sat there, explaining the situation, but I could already sense her overwhelming aura and sense of pressure. She rejected every suggestion our lawyer had made, with well-reasoned arguments that left them speechless and even disoriented. I carefully reviewed the documents and discovered a fatal flaw in their case. I mustered the courage to confront this female lawyer.

From the moment the other party approached, I felt a murderous aura descending upon me, and I broke out in a cold sweat. The female lawyer refuted my arguments one by one, but her willingness to win was aroused! Her rebuttals only intensified my excitement. The more I spoke, the more excited I became, the more rational I became, and my thoughts became clearer. In the end, I turned the tide, winning the case. The other party was forced to accept our demands and agree to sign the agreement.

The next thing can be handled by the legal team. I pulled Rong Zixuan and quickly fled from this suffocating place.

"Wife, why are you leaving like this?"

"Didn't you see that female lawyer? She's so scary!"

"You think she's scary too?"

"Yeah, she was sitting there looking at me, and I felt like she was going to eat me up in the next second!"

"Me too! As expected of a lawyer! His aura is so strong and frightening!"

"So, let's run!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

Rong Zixuan and I left each other's company at lightning speed. Xiao Yuan must have heard the news from the legal team and called to praise me.

"Wei Qing! That's amazing! We've been talking to them for several times and couldn't reach an agreement, but after you went there once, they finally gave in!"

"No! Where did they find the other party's lawyer? That's horrible!"

"Hahahaha! You find it terrifying too! That's Xu Jing, known as the Queen of Law! She hasn't lost a case in over a decade! She's also successfully defeated the other party in mediation! This time you've defeated her, it's probably going to be a sensation in the legal community! Lawyers who've suffered at her hands are probably lining up to meet you!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Yes! Lawyer Xu is truly amazing. Since they were able to hire her, I'm already prepared to back down. She scared me so much I didn't dare go, so I asked you to take her place today."

"What? Not only are you scared, but you're also pushing the two of us. You have no conscience! The situation is tense today. If she moves, I feel like she's going to eat me up!"

"Hahahahaha! But in the end, the Queen of Law lost to the Goddess of Computers!"

"Stop laughing! You have to compensate me for my emotional damage!"

"Hahaha, no problem, what do you want?"

"Aren't you the chairman of the racing club? Why don't you let Rong Zixuan join? He really likes racing!"

"Of course it's no problem with such a small matter. However, I'm not the chairman. I'm just a member. And why didn't he tell me himself?"

"You are Shen Junhui's cousin, he is afraid that you will not agree"

"Oh! I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. After so long, he still doesn't understand me. It seems I need to take him out more often to cultivate our relationship."

"Go out, but don't lead him astray. If you take him to a nightclub or something like that and he attracts a lot of attention, I won't let you off!"

"Don't worry! I'm relying on you as my strategist to make the company bigger and stronger. If I were to offend you, I'd be crazy!"

"You better remember what you said today! If Rong Zixuan turns bad, I'll be the first one to come to you! Oh, by the way, Lawyer Chen will probably come to you to sign the contract after he finishes it. You can take a look at the terms then."

"I've seen it, it's much better than I expected, I can't wait to sign it!"

"Okay, I'll hang up first. I have a call coming in."

"Okay, let's have dinner some other day!"

"alright, bye!"

I hung up Xiao Yuan's call and answered the new one.

"Wei Qing, right?" The voice sounded familiar to me.

"Yes, you are?"

"I am Xu Jing, your defeated opponent today!" Even on the phone, I could feel the pressure from Lawyer Xu, and my heartbeat quickened.

"Uh, Lawyer Xu, is there anything else?"

"Nothing, just asking if you have time tonight so we can have dinner together."

"Huh?" I was confused as to why she invited me to dinner.

"I want to meet you, the one who beat me."

"Oh!"

"Tonight at 7:30, private room C on the second floor of Wangyue Building, I'll be waiting for you."

"Uh..." I was about to refuse her, but she hung up the phone and sent me the address via text message.

I was struggling with this. I didn't want to go, but I didn't dare call her. If I went, it would be just the two of us, and I was really worried she'd eat me up. After all, I'd ended her undefeated streak. Someone like her must be quite proud, and I'd shattered her pride. She'd probably be devastated... I thought about it, and finally, trembling with fear, I went alone.

I slowly pushed open the door of the private room and carefully sat down in the seat closest to the door.

She looked at me puzzledly and said, "It's just the two of us, do you have to sit so far away?"

I was so embarrassed I didn't know what to say.

She pulled the stool next to her and said, "Come here, we can sit closer so we can chat."

I timidly walked to the seat next to her and sat down, slowly putting down my bag. She poured me tea and placed the cutlery in front of me.

"Which school did you graduate from and what major did you major in?"

Jinghua Computer

"Are you a science and engineering girl?"

"Correct!"

"Then how do you know so many legal provisions? I once thought you were also a law major."

"It's funny to say this, because I write online novels, one of which is about a lawyer. The writing process involves a lot of professional knowledge, so I also deliberately studied legal knowledge."

"So you're self-taught? You're so good at self-study! It really puts me to shame!"

"Thank you for the compliment. I was just lucky today. I'm still far behind you."

"Don't be so modest! Let's add each other on WeChat!" She opened her phone and pointed the camera at mine, asking me to scan the QR code. I was a bit surprised and froze in my tracks. She looked at my phone and gestured for me to give her the QR code. I hurriedly opened it, scanned it for her, and approved her application.

"You have a child? I can't tell." She asked me while looking at her phone, probably browsing my circle of friends.

"Yes, I am married! The man with me that day was my husband."

"How old are your children"

"Eight months"

"I also have a son, he is five years old and very naughty."

"Really? I thought you were single, you look quite young."

“I’m 35.”

"oh oh"

"You should be in your early twenties, why are you getting married and having children so young?"

"When love comes, you can't stop it, just let it take its course"

"That's really enviable. I'm different. I got divorced when my child was just over a year old."

"What about the child now?"

"In Shenzhou, my parents helped me take care of the children."

"You are from Shenzhou!"

"Yeah, where are you from?"

"Gyeongju's"

"That's it"

"Um, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

"Say it"

"That's right, why did you think of treating me to a meal?"

"It's just about making friends! I like making friends with smart people!"

"That's it?"

"if not?"

"There's another question."

"speak"

"Are you naturally aloof, or is it because your profession as a lawyer requires you to be aloof?"

"You said I was fierce, didn't you?"

"That was not what I meant!"

"I've always been this arrogant since I was a child, so everyone thinks I'm fierce. Plus, I chose a career as a lawyer, which requires me to frequently debate, and I win most of the time, so everyone thinks I'm fiercer. My ex-husband filed for divorce because he couldn't stand my arrogant and domineering attitude. But the real reason wasn't that I was arrogant and domineering, but that he was too useless. Not only did he lose a lot of money investing, but he also relied on me to support the family and was accused of being a gigolo. He couldn't stand it, so he pushed the problem onto me."

"Oh, I see! Then why don't you sue him for defamation?"

"I'm very busy and don't have time to deal with people like him! By the way, is your company hiring a legal officer?"

"what?"

"Does your company hire a legal officer?"

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. You're not going to be fired just because you failed to coordinate this matter, are you?"

"That's not the case. Others have an alarmingly high loss rate and yet they haven't been fired."

"Then what are you doing?"

"I've never lost a case since I started working as a lawyer, but I lost to you this time. That's why I want to work with you! Only by being with smart people can you improve yourself!"

"But I'm not a lawyer. We are in different fields."

“Don’t worry about that.”

"Besides, whether we hire a legal officer or not is not up to me. You have to go find Xiao Yuan."

"Okay! I'll go find him later."

"Being a lawyer gives you more freedom, so why bother working in legal affairs?"

"Money is no longer my standard of measurement. I have no shortage of money, so I just want to do what I want to do!"

“That’s right, how can a native of the Deep State be short of money, and still be a lawyer with no losses” I couldn’t help but sigh, and I envied people like her who were free to do whatever they wanted.

We chatted a lot afterwards, and I discovered that beneath her cool exterior, she actually had a passionate heart. It's just that others don't know her well enough, only seeing the surface. We had a wonderful meal, and the more we talked, the more we hit it off. By the end, we felt like we'd met too late!
