Chapter 42 Mouth Escape
Li Keyi thought, she is mocking me, and was unhappy in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface and responded: "Of course, Miss Wu, you are a smart, capable person. You spend all day with your mobile phone and computer, focusing on your career development."
Wu Qianqian smiled slightly and pretended to be modest, saying, "I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it. In fact, I haven't arranged a vacation for myself for a long time."
Then Wu Qianqian changed the subject and said jokingly, "I often hear that once Mr. Li has free time, he will invite a group of beautiful women to go out together, hang out in bars all day, and drink fine wines to his heart's content."
Li Keyi quickly explained: "You're being too harsh, it's just a once in a while. Is it a sin to take some time out from your busy work to relax your body and mind?"
Li Keyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a hint of disdain: "I don't want to be like Miss Wu, who is nervous all day long, afraid of making any mistakes." He shook his head gently, as if he had some complaints about Wu Qianqian's lifestyle.
Then, Li Keyi changed the subject and asked with concern: "It is indeed very hard to fight a lawsuit. Do you need me to introduce you to a few famous lawyers in the circle? Let them give you some advice, maybe it will make things easier for you."
Wu Qianqian sneered and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li, but it's really not necessary. My law firm has many experienced and capable lawyers who are fully capable of handling various complex cases. Moreover, I am confident in my professional qualities and business level, and I don't need guidance from others."
She raised her chin slightly, looked at Li Keyi sharply, and continued, "Mr. Li, you have been in our company for a while, but I don't think I have heard of any outstanding qualities of you. After so many years, are you still standing still?"
After hearing this, Li Keyi's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He snorted coldly and responded with a smile: "Oh? Really? Miss Wu is probably out of touch with the news and has a narrow vision! I have been in the family business for so many years, how can I know everything I have done? Can you judge my ability based on those rumors you heard from others?"
Wu Qianqian was not angered by Li Keyi's words. She continued to speak calmly, "Although I can't say that I know everything, I have heard some rumors about Mr. Li. For example, from time to time, there are reports that you accompany a little star to celebrate her birthday, or go shopping with another little star. It seems that you are really free and easy! However, in terms of the company's business, I have really not heard any positive rumors that are beneficial to the company's development."
Li Keyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Oh my, Miss Wu is really short-sighted! I heard that your firm usually has those big-name lawyers who come forward to fight lawsuits, and it seems that I have never heard of any of your great achievements~"
He paused, then jokingly said, "Could it be that he has lost too many cases, so he deliberately blocked the news from the outside world?"
Facing Li Keyi's sarcasm, Wu Qianqian behaved unusually calmly. She smiled slightly and responded: "It seems that Mr. Li is the one who is isolated from the world and out of touch with the news. The number of lawsuits I have participated in and the wins and losses are all clearly recorded." After that, she shook her head gently, revealing a trace of helplessness.
Li Keyi was still not giving up and continued to ask: "Really? Then how many cases has Miss Wu won? Why have we never heard of your name in the legal circle?" As he spoke, he sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk, Miss Wu's popularity is really not flattering!"
"If you want to gain a foothold in this industry, winning or losing alone is not enough. The key is to build a reputation. Otherwise, who would go to an unknown law firm like yours?" Li Keyi put on a preaching look, trying to put Wu Qianqian in a dilemma.
However, Wu Qianqian was not angered by his words. Instead, she replied calmly: "Then there is no need for Mr. Li to worry about it. Besides, when it comes to lawsuits, I'm afraid you only know a little about it." Her eyes revealed confidence and determination, as if telling the other party that she was no ordinary person.
Listening to the two people's sarcastic words, the parents of both sides looked at each other in bewilderment. Li Xi couldn't help but cough a few times, and then said to Li Keyi with a serious face: "Keyi, shut up!"
At the same time, Wu Xiankui also said to Wu Qianqian in a deep voice: "Pay attention to your words and actions."
After hearing their fathers' stern rebuke, the two young men finally calmed down, stopped arguing, and ate in silence.
At this time, the parents of both parties came out to smooth things over. Zheng Yanzhu said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, my daughter is not like this normally."
Sun Yuyan smiled and replied, "No, no, my boy is usually quite sensible. He may have encountered some troubles at work recently and was in a bad mood, so he spoke a little harshly. I'm really sorry!"
"Oh, it's okay..."
After the meal, an indescribable atmosphere spread between Wu Qianqian and Li Keyi - they were disgusted with each other!
Wu Qianqian muttered to herself, "I'm actually going to marry this kind of person, my dad is really blind!"
As she thought about it, she unconsciously fiddled with the food in the bowl with her chopsticks, her eyes drifting from time to time towards the man opposite her who disgusted her.
Li Keyi, who was sitting on the other side, was also dissatisfied. He thought to himself, "My father must be crazy if he lets me marry a woman like this?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of this idea in his mind.
Then, an even more exaggerated idea came to his mind: "If I really marry this 'lady' home, will I have to burn incense and kowtow three times every time I go out in the future?" This absurd idea made Li Keyi laugh out loud, but his laughter was full of helplessness and bitterness.
At this moment, Li Keyi's phone suddenly rang with a crisp notification tone. He looked down and saw that it was a message from his good friend Du Yujie. Du Yujie asked with concern: "Lao Li, what are you busy with? I haven't heard anything from you in the past two days."
Li Keyi hurriedly replied: "Don't ask me yet, I'm having dinner with my parents." After sending this message, he put down his phone and continued to face the extremely annoying dinner in front of him...
At this moment, Wu Qianqian and Li Keyi suddenly looked at each other unconsciously, and then looked away in an instant.
