Lin Xi looked up at the man in front of her, inwardly amazed. He had considered everything so thoroughly. No wonder he was a famous lawyer in the industry; he was truly different.

Yan Ziqi saw amazement in Lin Xi's eyes, and felt a little smug about being recognized. A slight smile curved his thin lips.

"I have no problem with this. You have written it very comprehensively. Any specific modifications or changes will be made based on the problems encountered during implementation."

Yan Ziqi nodded, picked up another document next to him, and handed it over. "This is the contract. Take a look and see if you can accept it."

[Acquisition Agreement.]

"Acquisition? I didn't say I wanted to acquire it." Lin Xi looked at Yan Ziqi with some surprise.

"Didn't your 'use you' yesterday mean acquisition?"

"I was thinking... well, it seems similar, but I'm signing contracts with each of you lawyers, not just the company. If you all leave, it'll be pointless, so it's still different."

"It's alright, as long as I'm here, they'll be here too. I personally trained them all," Yan Ziqi said with a light smile.

"Why do I get the feeling that you really want me to acquire it? I've heard that quite a few people want to acquire your company, but you didn't agree to any of them. Why did you choose me?" Lin Xi looked at Yan Ziqi seriously and asked with a puzzled expression.

Yan Ziqi pondered for a few seconds, then chuckled and said, "As you know, because of that nationally sensational lawyer case, although I won for my client, I also offended the other side. They have a lot of power, and they've been putting pressure on me for the past few years, trying to get me to work for them..."

Yan Ziqi paused after speaking, and seeing that Lin Xi's expression remained unchanged, he continued...

"That's just how I am. I will never compromise on things that don't align with my beliefs. The reason I chose to become a lawyer was to help many people seek justice. I don't want to go against my conscience and compromise with those in power."

Lin Xi looked at him with admiration, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.

"What you wanted to do yesterday really shocked me. You are the first person I have ever met who has told me that he wants to do everything he can to restore the world's innocence. This is very similar to my thoughts. Moreover, I could feel the great energy behind your words yesterday, which is why I chose you."

Yan Ziqi looked at Lin Xi with sincere eyes, a bright light shining in them.

Touched by his words, Lin Xi raised an eyebrow and said softly, "What if I was just joking?"

Yan Ziqi remained unmoved, staring into her eyes, and said, word by word, "I believe you!"

Lin Xi's face suddenly lit up with a smile after hearing this. She signed her name on the contract, then stood up, leaned forward slightly, extended her right hand, and looked at him with a smile, "Well then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"It's a pleasure working with you, my new boss."

A faint smile appeared on Yan Ziqi's usually stern face. He stood up, looked at the slender, fair hand that was outstretched in front of him, and took it in his hand.

Lin Xi transferred the money and was just about to leave.

"Why don't you meet with everyone and let them see the new boss?" Yan Ziqi called out to her from behind.

Lin Xi turned around, glanced at the time. Since it was still early, she nodded and followed him.

Come to the office area.

Yan Ziqi clapped his hands and said loudly, "Everyone, put down what you're doing for now. I have something to announce to you."

"Who is the woman next to Yan Lu? She's so pretty and has such a great figure. She's practically perfect."

"She can't be the boss's girlfriend, after all, I've never seen any female figure next to the boss except for clients."

"Who knows? But what are they going to announce with all this fuss?"

Everyone put down what they were doing and looked at them. Most of them had just entered society and still retained their curiosity and energy.

"Just now, my company was acquired."

"What? Yan Lu finally succumbed to the pressure and agreed to their demands?"

"This is outrageous! What are we still persisting for now, even after he himself has given up?"

The dissatisfaction of the crowd was obvious, and several people who were close to Yan Lu even questioned him directly to his face.

"Yan Ziqi, you can't be serious, you've deserted?"

“If you need money, just tell me, buddy. You’re just going to give up like that? What about all the perseverance we’ve put in all this time?”

Yan Ziqi listened to their words without getting angry; instead, he looked at them with a smile.

"Oh no, Lawyer Yan actually smiled today, they must have replaced him."

"That's so strange, how can he still laugh?"

Looking at the scene before her, Lin Xi was very satisfied. As expected, they were all people who had kept their original intentions. She would definitely protect their perseverance.

Yan Ziqi waited until they had all finished speaking before speaking, "Let me introduce you. This gentleman next to me is your new boss, Lin Xi. Please give him a round of applause."

Everyone present looked at Lin Xi with some surprise. Although they were very reluctant, they still gave Yan Lu face and burst into applause.

"You've all misunderstood something. I haven't given up, and I never will." Yan Ziqi put away his smile, glanced at everyone present, and said seriously.

"Then why do you still...?"

"Who says being acquired is necessarily a bad thing? You all know our current situation. We may look glamorous on the surface, but we can't hold on for long. After all, Shanghai is a place where every inch of land is precious."

Everyone lowered their heads upon hearing this. They knew all too well that being acquired was the best option given the current situation, but they were simply unwilling to accept it.

Yan Ziqi could see the struggle in their eyes, but he felt more gratified. He took out the proposal document and said, "This document can explain why I agreed to be acquired, and why I took the initiative to propose the acquisition."

A murmur rippled through the crowd, and someone took the lead in accepting the document...

"I'm a little sad. I didn't expect that there were people like us who were also working hard for this world."

“Every time I see people who are depressed or commit suicide because of cyberbullying, I feel a sense of powerlessness and I wish I could kill those verbal abusers.”

"I agree." A voice suddenly rang out, tinged with a sob.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"We agree."

.......

Looking at the scene before her, Lin Xi felt a mix of emotions. She didn't know how to describe her feelings; she felt a lump in her throat, as if her throat was blocked. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions welling up inside her, and said firmly, "Please believe in me, and believe in yourselves."

Seeing the joyful smiles in the corners of their moist eyes, I was deeply moved.

In every era, there are always people who bear heavy burdens, for themselves and for everyone else.

She believes that there are many, many lovely people in the world like them, so she tries her best to protect their loveliness and purity.
