Deputy Director Xia Yichen, who holds the power of project approval, and Su Liran, a rising legal star with a high winning rate, went from being wary of each other to relying on each other in case confrontations. In the end, one learned to "break the rules" within the rules, and the other learned to be "soft" outside of toughness.
Su Liran took on a commercial contract dispute case with a bid worth over 100 million yuan. The defendant was the contractor of a key project approved by Xia Yichen. During the first confrontation, she thought he was a bureaucrat within the system who could only read documents; he thought she was an impatient lawyer who was just starting out. As a result, at the trial, both of them found that they had underestimated their opponent - her logic was meticulous and her chain of evidence was impeccable; he was sitting in the gallery, and a look in his eyes made the other party's expert witness panic.
Later, she was tripped up by a colleague, and the case materials were leaked in advance. It was Xia Yichen who helped her identify the source of the leak within the scope of compliance; the provincial key project he was promoting was reported to have illegal approvals and faced the risk of being shut down. It was she who sorted out legal opinions overnight to help him find a breaking point.
The two went from being cautious and testing to fighting side by side, from distrusting each other to supporting each other. When Su Liran was maliciously complained to the Justice Bureau by a competitor, Xia Yichen used his contacts to mediate for her for the first time, but only said: "I believe you."
When Xia Yichen was kicked off the job by his superiors for refusing unreasonable instructions and faced being transferred from a key position, Su Liran gave up the headhunting invitation with an annual salary of one million yuan and helped him sort out the response plan one by one: "I can follow you wherever you go."
Their love is mutual achievement in the adult world - you are stronger, I am stronger; you shield me from the open shot, and I protect you from the hidden arrow.
