Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Duck at Mouth Flies Away

"Tomorrow at noon, I’ll come to pick you up. For the next two and a half days, Mrs. Fu should finally have time to miss me, right?"

"Eat well, see you tomorrow!"

Ye Li: ...

With flushed cheeks, Ye Li’s heart suddenly eased.

Although she hadn’t seen him, something told her Fu Yanci was still unaware of the incident at school.

That was for the best.

Although Fu Yanci had said that as long as their marriage lasted, he would give her all the treatment she deserved as Mrs. Fu.

But deep down, Ye Li didn’t want to be a clingy vine.

"Lizi..."

As Lu Xiaoxiao softly called her, Ye Li came back to her senses.

Ye Li looked up and saw Lu Xiaoxiao quietly asking, "Is that it for the forum incident?"

"Yeah."

Ye Li nodded, "Lawyer Tang said that if someone insists on not apologizing, we could sue them. Then whether it’s detention or a fine, there would be a conclusion. But for now... it has to end here."

Even though she knew that the others didn’t take it seriously, which led to the farcical lined-up apologies.

The truth was, it counted as a public apology.

There was no use in dwelling on it anymore.

"Let’s leave it at that."

Ye Lixiao squeezed Lu Xiaoxiao’s puffed-up cheeks with a smile, "Such incidents are but puddles on the long road of our lives. Despite splattering our legs with mud, they won’t dim our shine. Look forward, walk with big strides, and when we look back in the future, all of this will be insignificant."

"I’ve confirmed it with a look, you’re my chicken soup mentor! Mentor, it’s time to eat!"

"Since I am the mentor, following the principle of respecting one’s teacher and valuing the way, it wouldn’t be too much for me to eat first, right?"

"..."

Aromas wafted through the air.

Laughter was abundant.

On the other side, in Lingying Law Firm, the atmosphere was more stagnant than it had ever been.

"You refuse to follow your superior’s work arrangements during your probation period, leading to incomplete work as planned, causing irrevocable damage to the firm... Lawyer Tang, you are fired!"

Vice Director Wu’s statement left Tang Yanhui stunned as he looked up.

Tang Yanhui had only found out just before that the divorce case a few days ago was specifically assigned to him by the boss.

But Vice Director Wu never told him it was the boss’s order.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have refused it.

Vice Director Wu handed it over to Lawyer Chen, so he focused solely on Ye Li’s case.

Whether it was the client’s dissatisfaction or Lawyer Chen’s screw-up, that divorce case had now moved to a rival firm.

The prey that was almost in their grasp was flying away.

But that couldn’t be blamed on him, could it?

"Vice Director Wu..."

"You don’t need to explain!"

Vice Director Wu cut him off sternly, "You don’t have any other cases in your hands, so it’s just as well. Finish the one you’re working on now, and then you can leave."

With that, Vice Director Wu picked up his briefcase and walked straight out.

With a gloomy expression, Tang Yanhui turned back to his seat to start wrapping up the work on Ye Li’s case.

When the questioning started, Tang Yanhui looked up to face several colleagues who clearly enjoyed watching the drama unfold.

"Lawyer Tang, what’s your relationship with the boss? Why didn’t he protect you this time?"

"Yeah, why don’t you give the boss a call? Maybe then you won’t have to go, and he’ll even process your full employment."

Tang Yanhui was hired at Lingying after an interview with the boss, bypassing the normal hiring process.

On the day of the interview, the boss approved him to start working immediately.

As a result, everyone in Lingying from top to bottom speculated that he was a relative of the boss.

After a month, from Vice Director Wu to these people in front of him, although they blatantly looked down on him, they were careful to address him as "Lawyer Tang."

Now that he was fired, these people finally stopped pretending.

"I don’t have any special relationship with Mr. Lin."

With a single sentence clarifying his lack of relationship with the boss, Tang Yanhui shut down the computer and left the office.

"Why the pretense? We’re all senior lawyers. He just spent a few years at Ye Group, so he thinks he’s better than everyone?"

"High starting point, so what? In the end, he’s fallen to handling the same petty cases as us? No, from now on, he’s even worse off than us..."

"Hahaha..."

Mockery and laughter echoed as Tang Yanhui pressed the lift button with an expressionless face.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and Tang Yanhui leaned defeatedly in the corner.

His classmates from the same period were all doing better than one another.

Even those who had been worse off than him were now the bosses of Lingying.

And yet, here he was, on a steep decline.

Ah...
