Jiang Huazi confides in Pan Hui about the stalled Greenfield Phase II development and her inability to secure legal help. She praises Fang Qing's legal prowess, but her husband Fang Weiguo opposes involving their daughter, citing Jiang Huazi's relatives' past mistreatment of Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen unexpectedly returns for a wedding, and his aunt, Jiang Huazi, realizing the Fangs had hidden his return, decides to invite him to dinner to discuss the real estate issue. Fang Weiguo declines, but Jiang Chen, upon learning from his aunt and uncle about Zhang Zhongquan's predicament and Jiang Huazi's efforts to get Fang Qing's help, reassures them he will not get involved.
"It's handled. It'll be done in a few days." A pair of childhood friends were browsing a supermarket, a place merely a ten-minute walk from their respective homes. As youngsters, they had yearned for everything on display but lacked the funds. Now, while the snacks remained as enticing as ever, and though they could easily reach the top shelves, the overwhelming urge for a massive shopping spree had diminished. "When the time comes, should we go pick him up?" There was a valid reason why Fang Qing wasn't home early this morning; it wasn't a company-sponsored vacation in Sha City, as one might assume. As a professional, she held a senior position within her company, which still demanded her time and effort. Whenever an order came through, she had to be ready to act. "Let me know when it's time," she replied. Jiang Chen, carrying himself with an air of entitlement befitting a young master, without any trace of typical gentlemanly conduct, gestured for Fang Qing to push the shopping cart while he ambled along. "He's been inside for so long, has he become gaunt?" "He's been in the detention center the entire time." Fu Zili had not yet been sentenced; he was merely detained, meaning no conviction had been made as of this moment. Without a formal court ruling, he wouldn't be transferred to a prison. Individuals awaiting trial were held in detention centers, making the process relatively straightforward. Naturally. Even if Fu Zili were incarcerated, with the current capabilities of his childhood friend, securing his release from either a prison or a detention center would present no significant challenge. How much trouble could he truly be in? With sufficient influence, even a person on death row could be granted a reprieve. "Isn't the environment in a detention center typically harsher than in a prison?" Jiang Chen inquired. "Have you ever stayed in one?" Jiang Chen promptly shook his head. "No, I'm a model citizen." "Generally, yes, it's tougher in a detention center than in prison. However, he's a prominent figure in Sha City. When someone of his stature enters, the treatment differs significantly from that of an ordinary individual." Fang Qing stated this with a blend of humor and truth. Jiang Chen chuckled. "It seems he's quite comfortable then. Perhaps we should let him reflect more deeply after Junzi's wedding?" "As you wish." As she spoke, she noticed him place a box of supplements into the shopping cart. "Didn't Aunt Jiang tell you not to bring any gifts? Why are you buying so much?" she inquired. "I didn't buy anything. You did." Jiang Chen, adopting a didactic tone, tapped his temple. "You need to learn to be more adaptable." As a skilled orator, Fang Qing found little reason to engage in an argument. Lawyers excelled at presenting evidence and constructing logical arguments, but this man was a rogue. Last night served as a prime example. Simply because he was unrestrained, the shopping cart overflowed with numerous items, leading to a rather staggering final bill. "Hello, 1280. Do you have a membership?" Fang Qing provided her mother's phone number and then turned around. The gentleman should be the one to pay, shouldn't he? Especially since they were visiting his aunt. However, to her surprise, he shamelessly walked away, standing just outside the checkout area and observing his surroundings. "Will it be cash or a mobile payment?" Ultimately, unable to bear the mounting embarrassment, Fang Qing pulled out her phone to complete the payment and then struggled to manage the purchased items as they exited. "I think I just spotted a familiar face." Someone was still feigning ignorance. Fang Qing unceremoniously shoved the heavy shopping bag into his hands. "1280 plus 5000, I'll round it down to 6000 yuan. Transfer it now." Precisely. Indeed, someone had evaded transferring the money last night, pretending to be asleep. "I'll transfer it to you later," he responded. He employed delaying tactics, carrying the items as he walked, but Fang Qing was not about to be deceived. "Transfer it now." "You earn over a million annually; why be so petty?" "That's through my hard work. Why don't you mention your own income?" Jiang Chen let out a chuckle, tilted his head, and winked, displaying an infuriatingly roguish demeanor. "One of the seven deadly sins, envy." If this were before junior high, and he had dared to act so arrogantly, Fang Qing would have unhesitatingly delivered a punch. However, now that she was a legal professional, resorting to violence was out of the question. "Give me the money!" "Keep your voice down; aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?" Shameless and oblivious, he sighed. "Don't worry, I've made a note of everything. I'll repay you in full someday." "Are you going to pay or not?" Fang Qing ignored him. "If you don't pay, I'll contact Li Shuru." With that, she produced the receipt from earlier. "..." Jiang Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter. Truly, she was a legal professional. Everything was meticulously documented, leaving no room for ambiguity. "Qing Gege, we've known each other for so many years; surely you know my character? Have I ever lied to you?" Fang Qing didn't offer a direct assessment. Instead, she simply took out her phone, her actions serving as a silent response. "Not paying?"She acts as if she’s about to send a photo of the receipt to Li Shuru to demand money. This indicates that she has been deceived before. Jiang Chen, completely clueless, sees the situation and sighs, "Qing Gege, our matters shouldn't involve Shu Rui, should they? I promise, you won't lose out. When you get married, I'll definitely give a huge gift to repay what I owe you." With someone's current status, such a promise is quite tempting, but Fang Qing remains unmoved and even scolds in frustration, "Screw you!" Tsk. Jiang Chen truly is extraordinary. To make the current Fang Qing swear, that's no ordinary skill. Fang Qing is not like Jiang Chen's uncle; she won't indulge the opposite party. After repeatedly stating her reasonable demands but still not being satisfied, she promptly chooses to protect her legitimate rights, snapping a photo of the receipt with her phone. Jiang Chen is stunned. "You're serious?" Fang Qing ignores him, editing the message. Jiang Chen is caught off guard, quickly saying, "Stop! I'll transfer it to you, alright?" See. When dealing with rascals, you must not endure in silence; you have to firmly resist!
