Chapter 680 - 207: Rejection and Flaunting_3
After the Lu Family left.Su Xiaocai reined in all her anger and got cleaned up; it’s not worth getting mad over strangers.
She soon happily went off to do other things.
...
Fei Yi returned to the office, with a spring in her step. Her best friend Wu Xiao immediately noticed; she left with her backpack, and returned feeling all relaxed.
"Did you secretly bring back the Space Button?" Wu Xiao gestured with her hands and mouthed.
Fei Yi shook her head, rolling up her long sleeves; Wu Xiao was almost blinded by the new Space Button, which was even made into a piece of jewelry.
"You bought this yourself? How much was it?"
"How much have I even made? Caicai gave it to me; you’ve got one too." Fei Yi stuffed one into her hand. The space capacity wasn’t as large as the one in her own hand, but having a Space Button is really convenient when out and about.
"Remember to set up the activation mode, whether it’s the mental (brainwave) mode or the Qi Sensing mode."
Wu Xiao held it in her palm, almost jumping for joy, stroking the Space Button, rubbing it on her face, treating it as a treasure.
She praised at once, "Su Xiaocai downright deserves to be wealthy, truly the demeanor of a top billionaire."
"Wow, where’s it from?" The law firm wasn’t very big; most of the positions had only desks and dividers between them, so colleagues could notice each other’s statuses.
When Fei Yi returned, her colleagues noticed her.
Wu Xiao put on the Space Button, waving her hand, showcasing the beauty of the Space Button jewelry from all angles, "Pretty, isn’t it? President Su gave it. Fei Yi and I both have one."
With one sentence, several colleagues peeked out, expressing envy, "Indeed, it’s President Su, giving gifts like Space Buttons."
"Space Buttons aren’t that expensive, right?" someone sourly remarked, "Giving a Black Wing would be better."
"Hey, speak nicely. We haven’t passed the Mecha Master certification; sending a Black Wing would cause traffic accidents directly, wouldn’t it? Besides, we all have cars ourselves. Giving a Space Button really hits the spot." Wu Xiao firmly supported Fei Yi and Su Xiaocai.
Before they could chat a few sentences, the newly hired lawyer targeting Fei Yi returned hurriedly with three assistants.
Fei Yi and Wu Xiao deliberately showed off their bracelets; at that moment, life seemed to be in the limelight.
The lawyer’s face instantly turned ugly.
Some colleagues didn’t think the spectacle was big enough, "Lawyer Wei is back? Did you succeed in negotiating with the client or not? I bet you didn’t. Let me tell you, now that you’re on Capital Star, you should tone down your temper. People on Capital Star are quick-tempered and fierce, and won’t accommodate outsiders. You need to work hard and bring back a big client."
Indirectly criticizing, they mentioned clients but actually hinted at him being inferior to Fei Yi.
Making you proud of having a Space Button, while envying others’.
On his previous planet, Lawyer Wei was indeed impressive, but on the talent-filled Capital Star, he’s just above average. To become famous, it’s difficult without high-profile contacts.
The environmental change led to his psychological imbalance.
He knew Fei Yi went to meet Su Xiaocai again today. To save face, he mocked, "People relying on financial backers, what’s there to be proud of?"
"All clients are our livelihood; without these benefactors, could you eat well?" Fei Yi was unaffected; just one Space Button had already made him lose composure. In the future, there’d be even more compelling times.
"Not bothering to bicker with a little girl like you." Lawyer Wei feigned generosity, but his heart wasn’t at ease; he was just being stubborn.
Having stayed on Capital Star for a while, he knew what kind of person Su Xiaocai was.
Someone he couldn’t access no matter how hard he tried, Fei Yi was undoubtedly lucky.
As long as Fei Yi was Su Xiaocai’s lawyer, she’d receive care and respect. His title as Changsheng Lawyer wasn’t influential on Capital Star.
It would at most give him more opportunities to interact with clients.
Wu Xiao silently spat at him, "We’re dealing with different businesses; why does he look down on people?"
Fei Yi shrugged, very likely he used to go to court frequently, so he thought he was superior.
Discrimination exists within the same profession, unavoidable.
...
Time again to give Admiral Bai acupuncture; this time, he came over to the research institute, not Su Xiaocai going.
Every time he did acupuncture, Su Xiaocai liked to chat about something.
This time she finally asked about the issue of handling prisoners.
"And what about Professor Zhang, Feng Ruchuan, and Li Kuanyun? I heard the Zhang Family and Li Family are quite powerful; are they protected?" Su Xiaocai only knew some basic information, not sure how impressive these families were, but none could beat her, so they weren’t worth her time to understand.
Admiral Bai thought she wasn’t interested; now she asks, "You’re simply gossiping, aren’t you."
Su Xiaocai found herself a very good reason, "Who’s planning to cut off their plans? This Admiral. To know yourself and your enemies, to remain vigilant enough."
"You can directly ask the military headquarters; they’d be happy to tell you. But since you asked, let Xiao Yuan tell you."
Colonel Yuan twitched his mouth; Admiral Bai probably forgot how they handled it.
