418: The earliest flights

Liu Xiaolin suddenly felt scared at this moment: "What's wrong with me?"

"Oh, a colleague of your mom's? No wonder," Xiao Hongmei's tone softened then.

Under the dim light, Xiao Hongmei smiled, her fair, tender smile like a lotus blooming in the dark night, leaving Liu Xiaolin spellbound.

"Stop staring, go upstairs and rest early. I'm going home to rest too; I have to work tomorrow," Xiao Hongmei said shyly, feeling embarrassed by his gaze.

"Mm-hmm, what time do you start work tomorrow? Let's go to the company together," Liu Xiaolin naturally didn't want to miss the chance to commute with Xiao Hongmei.

"I usually leave at 7:30 AM to take the bus," Xiao Hongmei said, "You don't need to take me to and from work; it's very convenient for me to take the bus."

"No, it's more convenient for me to drive. Tomorrow at 7:30 AM, I'll wait for you at the Xinmin Community entrance. Don't be late," Liu Xiaolin said, "Now, I'll walk you to your building, and then I'll go home to rest."

"No need, it's just a few steps, I can walk by myself. You go upstairs quickly. I see you drank a bit again today, didn't you? You're not good at drinking but you're quite daring," Xiao Hongmei said mockingly.

"Hehe, my alcohol tolerance is bad, I can't compare to you," Liu Xiaolin awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, "Alright then, you go back by yourself, I'm going upstairs to rest."

Seeing Liu Xiaolin was obedient, Xiao Hongmei nodded in satisfaction: "Goodbye."

"See you tomorrow," Liu Xiaolin murmured, watching Xiao Hongmei's graceful figure disappear into the distance.

The next morning, at the entrance of Xinmin Community, Liu Xiaolin was already waiting early in his car.

At 7:30, Xiao Hongmei walked out of the community on time.

"Sister Hongmei, I'm over here!" Liu Xiaolin called out, rolling down the car window.

Xiao Hongmei was very happy to see Liu Xiaolin so punctual. She sat in the passenger seat and said with a teasing smile, "You're quite early!"

"Wasn't I afraid you'd be late!" Liu Xiaolin said, diligently helping Xiao Hongmei fasten her seatbelt.

"I can do it myself," Xiao Hongmei's face was a little red.

"It's already fastened, let's go," Liu Xiaolin said as he pressed the accelerator and drove off.

They arrived at the entrance of Haizhe Technology in about ten minutes, but there were only a few people working at this time because most people hadn't arrived yet.

"It seems we can leave a bit later tomorrow; we arrived too early. By the way, have you eaten?" Liu Xiaolin asked.

"I've already had breakfast at home. What about you?" Xiao Hongmei asked.

"I haven't eaten yet. I was afraid of being late, so I just washed my face after getting up and came out, haha," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Then you should go eat something at a snack shop outside. I'll go to the office first to start work," Xiao Hongmei didn't want everyone to see that she came in Liu Xiaolin's car.

"Okay, then you go in first. I'll go grab a bite to eat and then come back," Liu Xiaolin understood Xiao Hongmei's meaning.

After Xiao Hongmei got out of the car, Liu Xiaolin found a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, and began to eat heartily. Just as he was enjoying his meal, his phone rang.

"Hello, may I speak with General Manager Liu?" the other party asked.

"Yes, I am Liu Xiaolin," Liu Xiaolin glanced at the caller ID, it was Wang Lawyer Luhu from the Capital: "Hello, Wang Lawyer."

"Hello, General Manager Liu. I'm taking a flight this morning, arriving at Yuhai Airport in an hour. Would it be too much trouble to ask you to send someone to pick me up?" Wang Luhu said on the other end of the phone.

"Ah? Wang Lawyer is taking such an early flight? That's too much trouble. I'll pick you up. See you at the airport in an hour," Liu Xiaolin said enthusiastically.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to buy a printer yesterday, so after hanging up the phone, he quickly called Lawyer Zhang: "Lawyer Zhang, could I trouble you to help me pick out a printer? The price doesn't matter, as long as you think it's good to use."

"No problem. I'll ask Secretary Zhang from our law firm where she bought her printer and have her help buy one and send it to Xinmin Community," Lawyer Zhang said.

"Then I'll trouble you. I'm going to the airport soon to pick up Wang Lawyer. He took the earliest flight and will arrive in an hour," Liu Xiaolin said.

"Then why don't you call the other lawyers and ask when they're coming? What if they all take early flights? If you pick up all four great lawyers at once, wouldn't that save you a lot of trouble?" Lawyer Zhang said.

"Okay, I'll call them now and ask about their flight times," Liu Xiaolin naturally didn't expect all the lawyers to take the earliest flight, but it was possible that one or two might be on the same flight, as there weren't many flights from the Capital to Yuhai.

So Liu Xiaolin called the remaining three lawyers separately, and to his surprise and delight, they were all on the earliest flight!

They truly were good lawyers; once they took on a case, they rushed over on the earliest flight, just to start working on the case as soon as possible!

This made Liu Xiaolin very happy. With such good lawyers, Hai Zhezhe's appeal would definitely succeed!

"Okay, I will pick you up in an hour, as I also need to pick up three other lawyers along the way," Liu Xiaolin said to Lawyer Chen Chusheng, the last person he called.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaolin quickly wolfed down the noodles in his bowl, then hastily got into his car, preparing to go to the airport.

But as he looked at the dilapidated little blue car, he hesitated: "Can I drive such a broken car to pick up lawyers from the Capital? It's fine to pretend to be poor here at Haizhe Technology, but shouldn't I show off my wealth in front of the Capital lawyers?" 33 Novel Network

Thinking of this, he immediately called Shi Yuer: "Sister Shi, are you home today? I plan to drive my loves gift no. 1 to the airport to pick up the lawyers from the Capital."

"Ah? You found lawyers?" Shi Yuer asked in surprise.

"Ah? Did I not tell you about this?" Liu Xiaolin slapped his forehead, thinking to himself that he was so happy he became muddled, he actually hadn't told her such a big thing: "Yes, Lawyer Zhang has agreed to take our appeal case, and the lawyers recommended by Director Zhao from the Ministry of Science and Technology have all agreed to come and assist Lawyer Zhang."

"This is wonderful!" Shi Yuer was overjoyed to hear this news: "I didn't sleep well last night, still thinking about what to do."

"It's all my fault for not letting you rest well. I should have told you last night," Liu Xiaolin said apologetically.

"It's nothing, nothing. I'm home, you can come over," Shi Yuer was too happy to care about anything.

When Liu Xiaolin arrived at Shi Yuer's house, Shi Yuer had already opened the garage door and even gave him a garage key: "Take this key; it'll be convenient for you to store the car anytime. You can come and drive even when I'm not home."

"No need. I've already bought a house in Xinmin Community, so I plan to buy a garage there, which will be even more convenient. Otherwise, too much contact with you will attract Cai Chenghan's attention, and it will have a negative impact on you and on Dr. Hai's appeal case," Liu Xiaolin had already considered this issue on the way.

"Just take it for now. How can you buy a suitable garage so quickly? When you buy a garage, you can return the key to me," Shi Yuer insisted.
