Bamboo Horse Teases Green Plum 13 Pei Yue Meets with a Surprise Attack

  Bai Yue was ambushed

  It's another brand new working day, at 8:30 in the morning, Pei Yue returned to the office on time. Secretary Wang walked in with a large stack of documents and placed them on Bai Ming's desk. Pei Yue hadn't seen Bai Ming for many days and couldn't help but ask.

  "King Secretary, Mayor Bai he..."

  "Mayor Bai has been abroad on an inspection and investment promotion trip recently, he returned this afternoon. If Attorney Pei needs any help with anything, just instruct me directly to do it."

  During the time when Bai Ming was not around, Pei Yue had also been busy. Since Bai Ming took office, the mayor's hotline and anonymous reporting complaints that were screened by the secretary department would be transferred to Pei Yue's hands if they were more troublesome cases.

  The government originally had a relevant legal department to solve such problems, but Secretary Wang had privately mentioned to Pei Yue that in order to avoid mutual cover-up and collusion between government departments, Bai Ming had the idea of cooperating with an individual lawyer's firm.

  After inadvertently learning about Baiming's initial intention to cooperate with the firm she was in, and since Baiming rarely appeared under her nose, Pei Yue became more at ease with temporarily working at the municipal government.

  After Secretary Wang left, Pei Yue buried her head in work. She was currently handling a case of anonymous reporting of several well-known large enterprises in G City for illegal fundraising.

  This case is quite tricky, with many leads to follow up on both the black and white sides. Pei Yuguang has been busy collecting materials and relevant cases for nearly ten days. At noon, she hastily went out to eat lunch and returned to continue sorting through the materials.

  At this time, Mom's phone call came over again on schedule.

  "Xiao Yue, have you quit your job?"

  Mom has been urging me these days, her fiery personality is really getting harder and harder to deal with.

  "Mom, it's only been a few days, I need to finish up the work on my hands before handing over."

  Pei Yue clicked the spring pen "click click" up and down.

  "It's been almost half a month already."

  Pei Yue would not know the extent of Hu Xin's anxiety, having her precious daughter work alongside Bai Ming was equivalent to tying a time bomb around her daughter.

  "Mom, I'll talk to my leader about this first, I have something else to attend to, bye for now."

  The phone hung up hastily amidst a burst of crackling sounds.

  "What do you want to say to the leader?"

  Pei Yue was startled by the sudden voice and quickly lifted his head, seeing Bai Ming sitting in his seat, staring straight at him.

  "How can you eavesdrop on someone's phone call?"

  "This is my office."

  Bai Ming raised his chin, leaned back in his chair, and his gaze fell on Pei Yue's slender fingers. This girl was still fidgeting with the pen spring, a habit that hadn't changed to this day.

  "Go on, I'm listening."

  Bai Ming suddenly stood up straight, instantly switching into a serious work state, although in his usual state he was almost equally expressionless.

  "Huh? What did you say?"

  Pei Yue pretended to be silly, threw the pen aside and flipped open the file on the table. Bai Ming was too clever, her best way to protect herself was to say less is better.

  "What you want to tell your leader!"

  Pei Yue raised her eyes to look at him, closed the file in her hand, tapped busily on the computer for a moment, and then pressed Enter.

  "Comrade leader, I have something to report to you, it's in your work email."

  Bai Ming opened the email, inside were neatly organized relevant information about several companies and some cases of illegal fundraising as well as related legal articles. Although this was not the answer Bai Ming wanted to know earlier, he still quickly scanned through the files.

  It seems that Director Deng did not recommend the wrong person, she is indeed the best candidate for handling such cases. Compared to veteran lawyers, this rookie is more to his liking, he has confidence, and with these materials, it's enough to bring down several companies!

  Bai Ming encrypted the data and gazed past the computer screen at the familiar yet slightly unfamiliar face across from him.

  "Silly girl!"

  Bai Ming's voice was low and his eyes narrowed into a line.

  "Huh?!"

  Bai Yue was engrossed in the pile of documents and didn't notice that her title had changed, so she responded naturally. Among the five children of the Bai and Pei families, only Pei Yue was a girl, and both families treated her like a little princess, so they used to call her that.

  "This Saturday, come back to L city with me, grandpa and grandma as well as dad and mom want to see you!"

  Pei Yueshen's body shook slightly. She thought that Bai Ming had lost interest in entangling himself with her, but it turned out that the facts were not so.

  Bai Yue looked at Shang Bai Ming's deep eyes and said frankly that his unconventional way of thinking really made it difficult for her to understand.

  Even if twelve years ago you had something with him, after he did such an excessive thing to you and then separated for twelve years, those things that once existed have long since dissipated.

  These words, Pei Yue was too lazy to say to Bai Ming, being entangled by such a domineering and self-righteous man, how could Pei Yue's mood be described with just one word "annoyed"? Moreover, she couldn't avoid him like she did twelve years ago.

  Her mother wanted her to quit, and she was also difficult to decide. Although quitting is not difficult, the actual situation at home made her unbearable. How could she lose this job for a person like Bai Ming?

  Just thinking about these two things made Pei Yue's head ache, but now, there was also the matter of going to the White family on Saturday to pay respects to her elders.

  It goes without saying that Bai's house is absolutely out of the question. Not to mention mom's attitude, I don't have the interest in going, nor do I have a reason to go.

  Bai Ming is thirty years old, and he insists on taking her back to the Bai family, what intention is most obvious. But whether it's Bai Ming or his family members, in her heart, Bai Ming, apart from being her superior, is at best just an acquaintance.

  For this, Bai Ming's suggestion was immediately rejected by her, but Bai Ming at that time was a determined and unyielding face, it was clear that he had never expected her to obediently follow him back to the White House.

  In other words, he has made up his mind to use force if necessary and bring her back to the Bai's house, whether she agrees or not is of no importance!

  This point, from Bai Ming's continuous avoidance of mentioning bringing her back to the White family for several days, was enough to confirm Pei Yue's conjecture.

  Although Bai Yue was annoyed in her heart, she didn't bring these emotions to work. These days, she went to the municipal government as usual.

  Fortunately, Bai Ming was very busy. After returning from a foreign inspection, there were always meetings that couldn't be opened and overtime that couldn't be made up for. Usually, the two of them were in the office, and at most they would just exchange pleasantries, so even if he wanted to pester Pei Yue, it seemed like he didn't have any spare time to do so. As a result, Pei Yue's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

  But Hu Xin reminded Pei Yue about the transfer issue twice a day, which had to be resolved eventually. On Thursday afternoon, she called Director Deng in advance and made an appointment. After work, she deliberately took a detour to buy chocolate cake, which was the favorite food of Director Deng's daughter.

  "Director, you see that I'm still inexperienced in this field and tend to act impulsively, far from being as sophisticated and thorough as my predecessors. It's not easy for our firm to get the chance to cooperate with the municipal government, and you wouldn't want me to mess it up, would you? Don't you think it would be better to reconsider and assign a more senior colleague to work with the municipal government instead?"

  As long as she is transferred back to the firm, her mother should no longer be obsessed with asking her to resign.

  The director smiled and listened to her lengthy argument, then picked up his tea and took a sip.

  "Xiao Pei, this is a great opportunity that others can't get even with money or power, why are you so eager to let it slip away?"

  The director's words, Pei Yue would not misunderstand. She has ambitions for her career, and if the mayor were not Bai Ming, she would not give up this good opportunity. But now, with her mother's words added to Bai Ming's increasing pressure, her idea of stubbornly persisting has become unrealistic.

  "After all, as they say, 'the bird that sticks its head out gets shot', I think I still need to go back to the law firm and hone my skills."

  "Xiao Pei, you are the most suitable candidate in the eyes of Mayor Bai and me. Do a good job, I believe in you!"

  Director Deng patted her shoulder, glanced at his watch, and looked anxious. "Little Pei, I have to hurry up to pick up my daughter from school, let's talk another day."

  Pei Yue's expectations fell through, and she walked out of the elevator, inevitably a bit absent-minded. She lowered her head and headed towards her car, when suddenly she heard a hurried footsteps approaching from behind, and instinctively quickened her pace to run towards her own car.

  Just as she was about to get in the car, a chill came over her and she didn't have time to dodge. The back of her shoulder was suddenly pierced by a sharp object, causing a piercing pain!
