Chapter 1103: Too Much Information
A week later, Su Jin boarded a plane back to China.
Before parting, the two embraced tightly at the airport.
Su Jin patted Maowa's back and whispered in his ear, "Wait for my good news."
Maowa nodded, then released his hands and watched Su Jin enter the waiting hall. Su Jin would take a few steps and then turn back to wave to him until he could no longer see her back.
Su Shicheng and Qi Xiumei discovered something strange. They originally thought that after their daughter came back, she would definitely give them the cold shoulder for a while, but that didn't happen. On the contrary, their daughter took the initiative to talk to them, her attitude was the same as before, and she even helped with some chores around the house.
Su Jin's actions made Su Shicheng and his wife feel uncertain.
"Do you think our little girl is planning some kind of trick?" Qi Xiumei whispered to her husband in the bedroom.
While watching the news broadcast, Su Shicheng said, "No matter what she's thinking, there's no room for discussion about her relationship with that boy."
However, he spoke too soon.
Just after Su Shicheng finished watching the news broadcast, Su Jin knocked on the door and entered the couple's room, her attitude very sincere: "Dad, Mom, I want to have a good talk with you."
Su Shicheng looked wary: "What are you going to talk about?"
"Dad, Mom, I know you mean well, but I'd like to ask you to give Maowa a chance to meet his family. Maybe then you'll change your minds."
Qi Xiumei looked at her husband and said, "What kind of talk is that? You need to get your facts straight. Your father and I are against you continuing with Xiao Huang. How could you possibly meet his family? The two families only arrange a meeting when they're discussing marriage, okay? What kind of talk is this?"
Su Jin said calmly, "Mom, I know his mother's situation worries you, but have you thought about it? The fact that his father agreed to our relationship means that he doesn't consider this a problem at all."
Su Shicheng glared at his daughter with displeasure: "Are you out of your mind? The man definitely won't consider that a problem; it's their family's business!"
Su Jin looked at her father: "Dad, if Maowa's father wants to meet you, will you agree?"
Su Shicheng waved his hand dismissively: "No? What a joke! Just because he wants to see me doesn't mean I have to!"
Seeing that her parents' attitude remained so firm, Su Jin didn't say anything more. After saying goodnight to her parents, she left their bedroom.
A few days later, Su Shicheng arrived at the law firm for work as usual.
Not long after he sat down, his partner, Li Qian, who was also the head of the law firm, came to see him.
"Old Su, what's your relationship with Kerui Pharmaceuticals?"
Su Shicheng was completely bewildered: "What relationship? I have nothing to do with them! Didn't you handle all of Ke Rui's cases?"
Seeing that Su Shicheng didn't seem to be faking it, Li Qian stroked his chin and speculated, "That's strange. Originally, Ke Rui had a patent infringement case, and I had been in contact with their legal department. Basically, the case was going to be given to us. But this morning, their head of legal department suddenly called me personally and said that whether or not the case could be given to us depends on your opinion."
Su Shicheng pointed to his nose, his face filled with disbelief: "Me?"
Li Qian nodded: "That's right, that's what they said."
Su Shicheng's mind raced, but he couldn't come up with any ideas. Hong Kong Kerui Pharmaceuticals was a major client of their firm, so cases involving Kerui Pharmaceuticals were handled personally by the firm's director, Li Qian. It wasn't up to him to get involved. Besides, he didn't know anyone at Kerui at all. So, the idea that they could handle the case was just a prank.
But he immediately dismissed his earlier thought. Hong Kong Kerui Pharmaceuticals is one of the world's top ten drug research and development companies, with considerable strength. They wouldn't be playing such a prank.
He racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution. He honestly told Li Qian, "I don't know anyone at Kerui."
Li Qian didn't care about any of that. He instructed, "Old Su, you'll have to do a bit of work and go to the Kerui China Regional Office. If you can close this case, I'll give you a 5% commission."
The patent infringement case involving Kerui Pharmaceuticals can cost millions of yuan in legal fees, so these five points are no small sum. For the sake of the money, Su Shicheng decided to make a trip, firstly to find out the reason for the matter, and secondly for the sake of the law firm's business.
The sooner the better, so Su Shicheng immediately went to the Kerui China Regional Office.
It seemed the other party knew he was coming, as there was no need for an appointment or notification. After Su Shicheng gave his name, he arrived smoothly at the office of Kerui Pharmaceuticals.
A smartly dressed woman in a business suit greeted him: "Are you Attorney Su? Welcome to Kerui Pharmaceuticals. Our Chairman Yu would like to see you."
"Chairman Yu?" Su Shicheng immediately thought of Yu Xiang, the chairman of Kerui Pharmaceuticals and the wife of Asia's richest man. This was something he never expected. The chairman of such a large company actually wanted to see him. This was too much!
Previously, the highest-ranking leader of Kerui Pharmaceuticals that their law firm could contact was the legal director of Kerui Pharmaceuticals' Hong Kong headquarters. Chairman Yu was someone they simply couldn't reach.
Su Shicheng was led into a spacious and bright office with a feeling of unease. In the office, there was a woman who looked to be around forty years old and a man who looked to be nearly fifty.
Upon seeing Su Shicheng, the man greeted him warmly: "Are you Attorney Su? Hello, hello!"
Su Shicheng racked his brains for a long time but couldn't recall where he had seen this man before. He asked with a puzzled look, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
The man slapped his forehead in annoyance: "Look at me, I was so happy to see Attorney Su that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Huang Erhe. You don't know me, but you definitely know my son, Huang Zedie."
Su Shicheng's mind went blank. He stared incredulously at the man in front of him who claimed to be Huang Zedie's father. How did he end up here? And what was his relationship with Chairman Yu of Kerui Pharmaceuticals?
At this moment, Chairman Yu also spoke up: "Second Brother, why don't you invite Attorney Su to sit down and talk? It's impolite to keep her standing!"
Huang Erhe suddenly realized and said, "Yes, yes, Attorney Su, please have a seat!"
Second Brother? Chairman Yu of Kerui Pharmaceuticals calls him Second Brother?
Combining this with some rumors, Su Shicheng seems to have figured something out. If that's the case, then this man named Huang Erhe is the brother of Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia.
After all, they both share the surname Huang, and the wife of Asia's richest man, Ms. Yu, just called him "Second Brother," so there's no doubt about it.
But if that's the case, wouldn't that little Huang be the nephew of Huang Xiaochuan, Asia's richest man?
This is a huge amount of information; Su Shicheng needs to slow down and sort it out.
