Chapter 496: Really Thank You!

If Jiang Rou hadn’t met with Shen Fei, her impression of him would have remained the same as before—she would have thought that everyone was overestimating him.

But after meeting Shen Fei and having an in-depth conversation with him about a real estate project, she was completely won over by his forward-thinking design ideas and planning. This gave her a full understanding of Shen Fei’s abilities.

Such a realization could only be described as genius!

Jiang Rou was left wondering how Shen Fei had managed to reach this level.

Talking about his background and strength, Shen Fei was just a child from an orphanage, alone, with no family power to back him up. All he had was a degree from a good university.

But what did that really prove? Even people who graduate from top universities in China don’t usually possess such a far-sighted business mind and intellect until they’re in their thirties or forties.

After all, such insight and intellect take time, experience, and many external factors to accumulate.

Looking at Shen Fei’s background, including a failed startup, it didn’t seem like that alone could have made him the person he was today.

Not only Jiang Rou, but even the seasoned, successful businessman Qian Dasheng, who had seen much of life, didn’t understand either.

But no matter how much they speculated, it didn’t matter. After all, anyone who had met Shen Fei would call him a genius.

At this moment, in a tall building in Shenzhen, at the top floor of a 100-square-meter Chairman’s office, Qian Dasheng hung up the phone with Jiang Rou. He stood by the window, gazing at the view of Shenzhen, with a sense of melancholy in his eyes.

After a long while, he exhaled deeply and, after several breaths, took out his phone and dialed Shen Fei’s number.

At Yunhe Villa.

Han Xinyan led Shen Jiayue into the bathroom while Shen Fei sat on the sofa, bored, watching the performances on TV.

At that moment, his phone rang. Shen Fei furrowed his brow as he glanced at the caller ID.

He didn’t immediately pick up the phone but instead smiled slightly, got up, and poured himself a glass of water.

After the second ring, Shen Fei finally picked up the phone and answered.

“Mr. Shen, what are you busy with?” Qian Dasheng’s cheerful voice came through the phone.

“I was just in the kitchen. When I heard the phone, I came right out. But Mr. Qian, what’s the big matter that you called me so late?” Shen Fei asked politely.

“Mr. Shen, it’s not about big or small matters. I just wanted to have a chat with you. I sent the elite talents of Qiankun Real Estate over to Xin Yue Real Estate. Don’t you think you should thank me?” Qian Dasheng laughed.

“Mr. Qian, you’re calling just to hear me say thank you?” Shen Fei teased.

“Not exactly, but if you want to thank me, I won’t refuse!” Qian Dasheng replied, not picking up on the implication.

“Alright then, thank you, Mr. Qian!” Shen Fei smiled faintly. He then shifted the tone and suddenly added, “But…”

“But what?” Qian Dasheng asked, confused.

“But my thanks to you, Mr. Qian, was already accepted when you did me that favor,” Shen Fei said calmly.

“Huh? Mr. Shen, what do you mean? I don’t understand,” Qian Dasheng said bluntly.

“Mr. Qian, don’t you remember? Not long ago at Shengzhu Restaurant, you dug a pit right in front of me! The photo of us talking at the door was taken, and it made everyone think that Qiankun Real Estate was about to cooperate with Xin Yue Real Estate. That photo stopped all the negative speculations about your Qiankun Group at that time. I didn’t have any response, nor did Xin Yue Real Estate. Isn’t that already my way of thanking you?” Shen Fei smirked.

Qian Dasheng, upon hearing this, was taken aback, drawing in a sharp breath.

He knew that Shen Fei was incredibly sharp and perceptive. He had already suspected that Shen Fei had figured it out, but he never expected Shen Fei to say it so directly.

“Mr. Shen, if I said that was just a coincidence, would you believe me?” Qian Dasheng asked.

“Mr. Qian, that matter happened so long ago, I don’t care whether it was a coincidence or not. But we both benefited from it, didn’t we? It made the public stop speculating about Qiankun Group and brought Xin Yue Real Estate into the limelight!” Shen Fei said directly.

“Yes, Mr. Shen, I agree. That’s why I kept Qiankun Real Estate silent… If I had known you thought like this and that I had tricked you, I should’ve communicated it with you earlier. Alas, I was too naive!” Qian Dasheng sighed.

“Forget it, Mr. Qian, it’s in the past. I do need to thank you for letting Jiang Rou come to Xin Yue Real Estate. That really deserves my thanks!” Shen Fei said sincerely, but without mentioning any personal favors in his tone.

Qian Dasheng couldn’t help but think of the matter at Shengzhu Restaurant. It was his own doing, and now, he had to accept that Shen Fei had already calculated everything.

Had he not made that decision, Shen Fei would have at least said a few words of gratitude out of courtesy. But now, he couldn’t bring himself to ask for that.

“Alright, then I’ll accept your thanks, Mr. Shen!” Qian Dasheng chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about what Shen Fei had said.

“Mr. Qian, I see you called so late. Surely it’s not just to hear me say thank you?” Shen Fei directly called out Qian Dasheng’s true intention.

“Mr. Shen, didn’t I already say? I just wanted to chat with you. After all, it’s rare to find someone like you with such ambition among young people. It’s good for us to exchange ideas!” Qian Dasheng smiled before changing the subject. “Mr. Shen, how’s the situation between your gaming company and Tencent?”

“Mr. Qian, did Ma Hua from Tencent ask you to be a go-between?” Shen Fei teased.

“No, this is something we outsiders can clearly see. A few days ago, I advised Ma Hua at a business conference in Beijing,” Qian Dasheng said candidly.

“But Ma Hua didn’t listen, right? Otherwise, ‘Tianxia’ wouldn’t still be doing so well in the market!” Shen Fei replied.

“Mr. Shen, do you need any help from me? Officially, I can’t stand by your side, but privately, I can help you!” Qian Dasheng said.

This statement took Shen Fei by surprise.

Wasn’t there a cooperative relationship between Qiankun Group and Tencent? How could Qian Dasheng, who had a close relationship with Ma Hua, secretly help him?

“Mr. Qian, isn’t your company cooperating with Tencent? You and Mr. Ma must be very close. So, why are you still willing to help me behind the scenes?” Shen Fei asked, unable to understand.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 497: No Help Needed!

Regarding what Shen Fei asked, Qian Dasheng had already anticipated it.

He paused for a moment and then said frankly, “Yes, Qian Kun Group indeed has close cooperation with Tencent Company, and my relationship with Mr. Ma is also fairly close. But so what? I can still help you privately! Of course, Tencent Company’s legal department is very powerful, so it’s unlikely that I can help you bring down the other party. To be honest, I don’t have that kind of capability.”

“Then, Mr. Qian, how exactly are you going to help?” Shen Fei was completely confused.

“If you, Mr. Shen, decide to interrupt the lawsuit against them, I can offer you several professional legal teams willing to take on the case! As for why your company, Longguang Media, hasn’t responded yet, we don’t know, but this case involves Tencent’s legal department, which is known as the invincible ‘General of the Pearl City’. Finding a lawyer willing to take this case is not easy, especially since those lawyers highly value their reputation!” Qian Dasheng said in a deep voice.

“Mr. Qian, aren’t you afraid that someone will leak this about you helping me?” Shen Fei asked.

“If you don’t say anything, how could anyone find out?” Qian Dasheng replied casually. “Besides, even if Tencent Company finds out, I’m not worried. After all, we were already photographed dining together at a restaurant, and everyone in Hua Country assumes that there’s cooperation between your Xinyue Real Estate and my Qian Kun Group! Also, I only introduced a few legal teams to you, I’m not personally involved in the dispute with Tencent. Even if they want to attack me, they have no solid evidence.”

Qian Dasheng spoke with an easy tone, but Shen Fei understood that if the matter of Qian Dasheng helping him got out, the relationships and interests involved would become incredibly complicated. Just the cooperation between Qian Kun Group and Tencent Company was very close. If it weren’t for that, Qian Dasheng wouldn’t have reminded Mr. Ma of Longguang Media’s issues with Tencent.

Now, for the first time, Qian Dasheng, who had never reached out to Shen Fei, was offering help. The reason was simple: it had to do with what Jiang Rou mentioned in the phone call.

As Jiang Rou said, Qian Kun Group had reached a critical point, and with even a slight external force, it could start to waver.

If that happened, would Mr. Ma still be willing to use Tencent to support Qian Kun Group?

Qian Dasheng was very clear on the answer. If it came to that, Tencent would mock him, but they would quickly distance themselves from Qian Kun Group. They wouldn’t even wait until the worst-case scenario; as soon as Qian Kun Group showed signs of decline, Tencent would immediately cut ties.

Qian Dasheng understood this, so after hearing what Jiang Rou said in the call, he immediately chose to contact Shen Fei.

Shen Fei, however, had only guessed that Qian Dasheng wanted to use him for leverage. He didn’t understand the reason Jiang Rou had mentioned this.

At this point, after listening to Qian Dasheng’s explanation, Shen Fei smiled helplessly and then asked, “Mr. Qian, do you have any particular reason for helping me?”

“Reason? To be honest, I’ve always been quite optimistic about you since you founded the scar cream company. The reason I’m helping you now is just to find some security for Qian Kun Group’s future. After all, there are no free lunches in the world,” Qian Dasheng said candidly.

His blunt words left Shen Fei slightly stunned.

However, no matter what, Shen Fei could not accept Qian Dasheng’s goodwill.

After a brief pause, Shen Fei cleared his throat and said firmly, “Mr. Qian, I understand what you’re trying to express! But this matter doesn’t require anyone’s help!”

“What…?” Hearing Shen Fei’s response, Qian Dasheng was extremely surprised.

“As for the dispute with Tencent, I already have my plan in place! And Mr. Qian, if you have any views on this matter, or if you’re close with Mr. Ma of Tencent, then you should try persuading him again! They still have the chance to reconsider. If we really have to go to court, it’ll be them who lose face!” Shen Fei said with conviction.

Qian Dasheng was left in disbelief.

Shen Fei’s tone was so determined that it almost seemed like he had a very high chance of winning this case.

From the few interactions he had with Shen Fei, Qian Dasheng knew that Shen Fei would never mislead him on such matters. But Shen Fei’s confidence—where did it come from?

In a series of uncertainties and confusion, the two exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Shen Fei leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

At that moment, Han Xinyan and Shen Jiayue hadn’t come out of the bathroom yet.

The variety show on TV continued to air, but it was still full of awkward, meaningless laughter.

The living room was both quiet and noisy, and Shen Fei couldn’t help but reflect on his current situation.

The famous second-generation Zhang Sicong had actively reached out to him, as well as Hu Yuantai, Jiang Tiancheng, Duan Guxiang, and a few others in Shenzhen.

Then there was Ning Donghai of Donghai Group and Zhou Zhengguo, the leader of the Liberation Zone.

These people, one by one, had offered to help him regarding the “Tianjue” incident and Tencent’s plagiarism.

Even though old Mr. Jiang and Secretary Yu hadn’t asked about him during the entire course of this matter, Shen Fei knew they were all waiting for his next move.

This alone, although Shen Fei didn’t know their exact intentions, indirectly proved that his status and position in Shenzhen had risen to another level.

He had only been reborn for half a year, which was enough to show his strength during this period.

“Dad, Yueyue smells so good!” At that moment, the little girl, now dressed in a cotton pajamas after finishing her bath, ran out happily.

Han Xinyan, following behind, smiled helplessly and didn’t pay any attention to the girl’s antics.

“Who were you on the phone with?”

Seeing Shen Fei holding the girl in his arms, Han Xinyan directly asked.

“Who else? Qian Dasheng!” Shen Fei smiled.

“Qian Dasheng? Why did he call?” Han Xinyan asked in surprise.

“Just chatting, and also asking about the matter between Longguang Media and Tencent,” Shen Fei replied casually.

“And what did he ask?” Han Xinyan asked.

“Nothing much, just asked a few things,” Shen Fei answered truthfully.

Seeing Shen Fei like this, Han Xinyan shook her head and then looked at him without bringing up the matter again.

“Honey, what do you think about the situation with Tencent? What are you planning to do?”

“Let’s wait for Yunhe Law Firm! Fourteen days—ten days have already passed, so they should be getting back to us soon!” Shen Fei said.

“What if they don’t have confidence? Wouldn’t we have to start over?” Han Xinyan expressed her concern.

“I’ve got it all arranged. Just wait for the result,” Shen Fei said with a slight smile, not planning to explain further.

Han Xinyan, seeing Shen Fei’s attitude, didn’t press further, though she still had lingering doubts about Yunhe Law Firm.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 498: What is the winning probability?

At the same time.

In the chairman’s office of Qiankun Group.

After hanging up the phone with Shen Fei, Qian Dasheng thought for a moment. After Shen Fei clearly rejected his offer, he decided not to get involved any further.

As for Ma Hua, he had already tried to persuade him out of humanitarian concern, but since Ma Hua didn’t listen, why should he continue with actions that wouldn’t be appreciated?

Pulling out a chair, Qian Dasheng sank into deep anxiety.

Several days passed.

Longguang Media still hadn’t responded to Tencent Company’s plagiarism.

While “Tianxia” kept optimizing and grabbing market share, the public seemed to have forgotten about the plagiarism of “Tianxia” from “Tianjue.”

The fact proved that the internet has no memory.

Thanks to the connections between WeChat and QQ, friends could interact and share effortlessly, and logging in was incredibly convenient.

This caused many players to abandon “Tianjue” and shift their focus to “Tianxia.”

Meanwhile, “Tianjue,” which had gradually been forgotten, despite never stopping its optimization, suffered from a significant decline in traffic and other aspects.

At this rate, “Tianjue” would slowly fade from the market.

But despite the embarrassing situation of “Tianjue,” neither Longguang Media nor Shen Fei had made any response.

Compared to the earlier debates over plagiarism, the issue had now gone completely unmentioned in the public eye. This transition didn’t take long.

On the other hand, YX sunscreen continued to generate waves on the internet.

On the day of its release, many customers had already used the sunscreen, and soon, the product’s reputation and efficacy sparked huge discussions again.

As for the price of 750 yuan, it pushed the Yuexin series out of the low-end product range.

This made mid to high-end brands start to feel insecure, and in this context, Yuexin and YX sunscreen consistently remained on the trending search lists.

Under such circumstances, the stock of sunscreen on the official websites of all three parties was quickly sold out.

However, Shen Fei didn’t pay much attention to all this.

Whether it was Xinyue Group, Longguang Media, or Xinyue Technology, Xinyue Real Estate, or Xinyue Media, Shen Fei wasn’t concerned, nor did he visit these companies.

For a while, his life became leisurely.

His daily routine consisted of grocery shopping, cooking, and picking up his wife and children.

At other times, he either played games or was called out by Jiang Tiancheng, Hu Yuantai, Duan Guxiang, and others to meet the lawyers they introduced.

Regarding Yunhe Law Firm, Shen Fei had immense trust in them, but since those people had gone to the trouble of finding lawyers, Shen Fei couldn’t decline them and had to exchange contact information in the course of a few polite words.

This approach left Hu Yuantai, Duan Guxiang, and Jiang Tiancheng very puzzled.

After all, from Shen Fei’s actions, it seemed clear that he had put all his faith in Yunhe Law Firm for the lawsuit.

Time passed, and three days later, only one day remained until Yunhe Law Firm would give him a response.

Early in the morning, Shen Fei received a call from Liang Shuang.

“Mr. Shen!”

“Lawyer Liang, long time no see! Are you calling to share some good news?” Shen Fei smiled as he answered.

“Of course, Mr. Shen. I wouldn’t call you without some guarantee. Regarding this case, I can say that we are willing to stake the future of our firm on it. If we can’t win, we’ll work for you for free for the rest of our lives!” Liang Shuang said firmly.

“Lawyer Liang, you’re so confident. Does that mean the chance of winning is 100%?” Shen Fei asked calmly, without any shock.

“Not exactly 100%.”

Liang Shuang modestly replied.

After a pause, he continued,

“Mr. Shen, are you free now? If so, could you come to Longguang Media? We’ve prepared all the materials. You can review them and hear our thoughts, then decide whether to place your trust in us. If you approve, we can immediately start the process to sue the other party!”

Hearing this, Shen Fei nodded,

“Alright, I’m free now!”

Around twenty minutes later, a black Maybach parked steadily in front of Longguang Media’s entrance.

Upon hearing the news, Ji Jiaming was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Shen Fei, he quickly stepped forward.

“Mr. Shen, the lawyers from Yunhe are already waiting in the meeting room!”

His tone was quite different from before, now filled with excitement.

“From your tone, it sounds like Yunhe has a very high chance of winning?” Shen Fei teased.

“Of course! Mr. Shen, there’s no law firm in all of Huaguo that can compare with Yunhe!” Ji Jiaming said.

“How so?” Shen Fei laughed.

“Mr. Shen, you don’t know. Since we knew Yunhe was coming, we cleared out the meeting room for them. They’ve been holed up in there for the past few days, not stepping out, with piles of documents everywhere. Some of them haven’t rested for days, and even meals are only every two days! If I hadn’t mentioned the possibility of reporting to you, they might not have eaten for three days!” Ji Jiaming said with a hint of nostalgia.

“This case is their chance to make a name for themselves! If I were them, I would do the same!” Shen Fei said, shaking his head with a helpless sigh.

“Indeed!” Ji Jiaming nodded in agreement.

As Ji Jiaming finished reporting, the two of them entered the meeting room.

“Mr. Shen!!!”

Upon seeing Shen Fei, everyone in the meeting room immediately stood up, their faces filled with respect.

“Alright, everyone sit down!”

Shen Fei nodded slightly and sat at the head of the table.

Although there were still stacks of materials on the conference table, it wasn’t as chaotic as Ji Jiaming had described.

“Mr. Shen, let’s get straight to the point. Here are the materials we’ve collected. Please take a look!” Liang Shuang said as he handed over a stack of documents.

“Alright!”

Shen Fei didn’t waste any time and immediately began flipping through them.

After reading through the materials, he nodded.

“There’s nothing wrong with the materials, but if we want to win this case, these documents alone won’t be enough!”

“Mr. Shen, we understand! Moreover, the legal department of Tencent Company has always been our focus. We’ve spent a lot of time analyzing their methods and how they handle cases. We’ve considered many angles to predict how they’ll deal with this situation. If we proceed with the lawsuit, we’ve already analyzed and prepared solutions for any possible scenarios we might encounter. This makes our strategy much more comprehensive!” Liang Shuang said with a smile, handing over another stack of related materials.

“Mr. Shen, from our preliminary assessment, they will definitely try to blur the lines between borrowing and plagiarism!”

However, Shen Fei didn’t look at it again. Instead, he directly turned to Liang Shuang.

“More than that, I want to know, what’s your winning probability?”

“99.99%!” Liang Shuang said firmly.

“As for the remaining 0.01%, that’s due to our law firm’s humility, and we’re unsure whether the Pearl City court will show any bias.”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 499: Waiting for a Response!

Even though Shen Fei had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the 99% success rate that Liang Shuang mentioned.

From his memories of his previous life, Shen Fei had always blindly trusted Yunhe Law Firm, but he hadn’t expected such a pleasant surprise from them in this life.

He had not yet recovered from the shock when Meng Fan was also taken aback.

A 99.99% success rate—this was nearly a 100% guarantee.

After all, their opponent was Tencent Corporation.

In the entire Huaguo, aside from Yunhe, no other company would dare to make such a bold claim!

It was because of Shen Fei’s understanding of Yunhe Law Firm from his past life that he was able to stay so calm at this moment. Otherwise, he might have frowned as soon as he heard such a statement and thought they were just talking nonsense.

Shen Fei also understood that Liang Shuang’s confidence came from the firm’s absolute certainty.

Liang Shuang smiled slightly and looked at the others. “Yes, if I were to be straightforward, it’s a 100% success rate! But because Tencent Corporation is involved, we’ve reduced it by 0.1%. Otherwise, this lawsuit would be almost effortless. Any lawyer with some effort would win.”

She paused before continuing, “But because Tencent has certain connections at the Pearl City court, this case has become incredibly challenging. Otherwise, this case would be fought over by numerous lawyers.”

“However, we are fortunate to have received the first-hand information for this case, thanks to Mr. Shen’s appreciation and the cooperation of your R&D team at Longguang Media. Without you, we would not dare claim such a 99.99% success rate!”

“Having said so much, we don’t expect Mr. Shen to entrust the case to our firm. We are very grateful to you. Thanks to you, we’ve had the chance to handle this case, and thanks to your team’s cooperation, we have been so confident.”

After speaking, Liang Shuang stood up and respectfully bowed to Shen Fei and the R&D team of Longguang Media.

The other members of Yunhe Law Firm followed suit.

This sudden gesture caught Ji Jiaping and his team off guard. In their flustered state, Ji Jiaping hurriedly led his team to stand up and return the gesture with a clasped hand.

“Liang Lawyer, and other lawyers, you’ve worked so hard for Longguang Media. You’ve even gone days without proper meals! Your dedication deserves recognition. Longguang Media and ‘Tianjue’ are our hopes, so the thanks should be on our side!” Ji Jiaping said politely.

“Mr. Ji, since you put it that way, let’s call it a mutual exchange!”

Liang Shuang smiled faintly and moved on from the topic. She turned to Shen Fei, “Mr. Shen, why don’t you take a look at the documents we’ve prepared? After you review them, if you believe in us and feel confident, you can entrust this lawsuit to us! If you have any other thoughts or doubts, we wouldn’t mind either. After all, you’ve already done so much for us! No matter what, we will forever remember your kindness!”

As soon as Liang Shuang finished speaking, the head of Yunhe Law Firm quickly added, “Yes, Liang Shuang speaks for all of us. Even though we’ve invested so much energy into this case, Mr. Shen, you don’t need to worry about that. The result is what matters most! If you trust us, then let us handle it. If not, we can always cooperate again in the future.”

Upon hearing Liang Shuang and the head of the law firm, the other lawyers nodded in agreement.

They had put in a lot of effort into this case. During the past days, no one could outwork them when it came to late-night hours.

Although they had already mentally prepared for Shen Fei not handing over the case to them, as they awaited his final decision, their nervousness and anxiety grew.

After all, they had invested so much effort and still hoped to be entrusted with the case.

But if Shen Fei chose not to give them the case, they had no complaints, for Shen Fei had already done so much for them.

Firstly, it was his preferential treatment of Yunhe Law Firm, allowing such a small firm to collaborate with large companies like Chengyou Technology and Zhongtai Trading.

Gratitude was a hallmark of Yunhe Law Firm.

Regardless of the past or present life, this firm had reached where it was due to its consistent dedication.

After hearing Liang Shuang and the head of the law firm, Shen Fei did not answer immediately.

“Let’s not rush. I’ll go over the materials first,” Shen Fei said calmly as he took the documents and looked at Ji Jiaping.

“Jiaping, you haven’t looked at these, have you?”

“No, Mr. Shen,” Ji Jiaping replied, stunned.

“Let’s go through them together,” Shen Fei said softly.

With that, Shen Fei began flipping through the materials.

Seeing this, Ji Jiaping nodded silently and leaned in next to Shen Fei, watching him read.

The room was quiet as everyone focused on the sound of pages being turned.

The members of Yunhe Law Firm and Longguang Media’s R&D team couldn’t help but feel anxious as they waited for Shen Fei’s reaction.

For over two hours, Shen Fei flipped through the materials at an increasingly faster pace.

Even though he had never received formal legal education, Shen Fei’s vast experience from his past life as a billionaire, dealing with countless legal cases, gave him a strong grasp of legal matters.

Even though he had been reborn at the age of 28, the knowledge and experience from his previous life still lingered, making him well-prepared in this area. He simply wasn’t eager to showcase it, or it would certainly make the other lawyers feel embarrassed.

Shen Fei read through the documents for more than two hours.

During those two hours, everyone in the room was on edge.

No one dared to interrupt him, not even for basic needs, as they anxiously waited for him to finish reviewing.

Time seemed to stretch on forever.

Finally, when he turned the last page, Shen Fei took a deep breath.

The sound immediately caught the attention of everyone from Yunhe Law Firm and Liang Shuang.

Upon seeing the unreadable expression in Shen Fei’s eyes, Liang Shuang’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that all their efforts in the past few days were in vain?

Had they lost the chance?

—————- END —————-

Chapter 500: Always Ready!

“Mr. Shen, what do you think?”

Seeing that Shen Fei had turned the last page, Liang Shuang and the head of the law firm immediately asked with concern.

Both of them looked extremely nervous.

However, they didn’t know that the complexity in Shen Fei’s eyes was due to the fact that Yunhe Law Firm now was exactly the same as it had been in his previous life.

Even though this firm had only been established for two years, and its members were, on average, only around 30 years old, just looking at the prepared documents, Yunhe Law Firm seemed to be at the peak of its former glory.

In fact, Shen Fei had a clear sense of the dispute between Longguang Media and Tencent Corporation, and he was confident that he could bring down Tencent, a company with a long history of victories, in court.

This is why Shen Fei had always remained calm and confident in all his dealings, which is also the reason he was willing to entrust the case to Yunhe Law Firm without excessive interference.

Initially, he planned to just glance at the materials prepared by the firm and subtly suggest improvements to increase their chances of winning against Tencent. But he hadn’t expected that the documents prepared over the last two weeks were so detailed and thorough, even providing explanations from multiple angles.

The suggestions he had prepared for them were now clearly unnecessary.

This lawyer team was already exceptional, and it was clear that their future development would be impressive.

Noticing the nervous tension in the room, Shen Fei couldn’t help but smile slightly.

This almost-smiling expression made everyone even more anxious.

Although they had already mentally prepared themselves for the possibility that Shen Fei might not hand over the case and that they would have no complaints about it, the past two weeks had been spent in the conference room, dedicating themselves entirely to analyzing this case. If Shen Fei really decided not to entrust the case to them, they wouldn’t voice it, but deep down, they would feel very disappointed.

Seeing their anxiety, Shen Fei didn’t answer immediately but instead turned to Ji Jiaping.

“Jiaping, what do you think?”

“Ah? Mr. Shen, if you’re asking me, I think it’s doable! Moreover, the materials prepared by Lawyer Liang and the team are so thorough, I can already imagine us winning against Tencent… But, to be honest, I’m not very knowledgeable about the law, so I’m really not sure what to do in this situation.”

If it had been in the past, Ji Jiaping would have made a bold decision without hesitation. But after experiencing so many face-slapping moments, he had learned a lesson: it’s easy to make bold claims, but they can quickly backfire.

So, on this matter, he chose to give a cautious and indirect response.

As for Ji Jiaping’s thoughts, Shen Fei wasn’t concerned or interested.

After a brief pause, Shen Fei turned his attention to Liang Shuang and the other lawyers at Yunhe Law Firm, and with a faint smile, he said,

“From now on, you can immediately start preparing the relevant materials and contracts for suing Tencent Corporation.”

At this, the faces of everyone at Yunhe Law Firm visibly lit up with excitement.

Their faces flushed, and their eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement.

“Mr. Shen, are you kidding us? Are you really going to hand this case over to us?” Liang Jing asked, her excitement more controlled than the others, taking a few deep breaths before speaking seriously.

“Of course! I, Shen Fei, never joke about things like this! The materials you’ve prepared over the last two weeks have shown me your dedication and the high chance of success in this case!” Shen Fei smiled.

“Since that’s the case, Mr. Shen, do you think we need to supplement or improve any part of the materials?”

Feeling incredibly happy, Liang Jing still couldn’t help but ask this question.

But as soon as she asked, she realized how foolish it sounded.

As a lawyer, wasn’t this supposed to be her responsibility?

“You’ve done great with this! And as for legal matters, you all know better than I do!” Shen Fei smiled helplessly.

After a brief pause, he continued giving instructions.

“Now that the decision has been made, if the contract is ready, I’ll sign it immediately. Then, you can start suing Tencent Corporation. We can’t afford to delay, especially since you’re confident! In this situation, the next step is to demand that Tencent apologize and compensate us for emotional damages. As for the amount, we’re not short of money, so let’s ask them to pay just one cent!”

“Got it! Mr. Shen!” the head of the law firm replied.

As for the outcome Shen Fei wanted, he wasn’t surprised at all.

Who else could be as wealthy as Shen Fei?

Asking for just a penny was clearly a sign of his magnanimity.

Besides, there’s no such thing as a penny anymore, so this was a direct humiliation of Tencent Corporation, a way to vent his frustration with them.

Perfect!

After the head of the law firm finished speaking, he picked up a document from the table and handed it to Shen Fei.

“Mr. Shen, I was already prepared for two options! As for the contract, I had it ready a long time ago! Take a look at it. It’s just a draft, so if there’s anything that doesn’t suit, we can make revisions.”

Shen Fei nodded and took the document, but when he saw the title of the document, he was taken aback.

“Pro bono representation” in big letters left Shen Fei speechless, not knowing how to react.

“Does this document mean you’re offering to represent us for free?” Shen Fei frowned.

“Yes, Mr. Shen! You’ve done so much for our firm already, and you’ve entrusted this case to us. If we win, it will be a huge boost for our reputation! Out of respect and gratitude, we shouldn’t take a single penny from you! Moreover, even if we had to pay to take this case, we would still do it! To be blunt, we would even borrow high-interest loans if that’s what it took—if you trust us, we’ll go forward without hesitation, no fear!”

Seeing the frown on Shen Fei’s face, Liang Shuang paused and continued.

“Mr. Shen, we understand that you’re rich, and we know that you would be willing to pay any fee if we were confident in winning. But for us, you’ve given us a chance we could never repay. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to settle in Shenzhen so quickly, and we’d probably still be struggling to find investors. As for suing Tencent, that would have been impossible! So, everything we have now is because of you…”

“So, no matter what, we cannot take your money. Even if we offer pro bono representation for a lifetime, we could never repay the favor!”

Shen Fei was somewhat surprised by what Liang Jing said.

“Are you telling me you’ll represent me for free for the rest of your lives?”

“Yes, Mr. Shen! Please don’t mind it, it’s the least we can do!” Liang Shuang nodded firmly.

Shen Fei smiled helplessly and said directly,

“You don’t have to represent me for free for life, but I’ll accept this pro bono representation for now!”

With that, Shen Fei signed the agency agreement.

“We can file the lawsuit today. The sooner, the better!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at Yunhe Law Firm was filled with excitement, cheering loudly.

“Okay, Mr. Shen! Always ready!”
