Upon hearing the voice, Xu De casually replied during his check-in.

"Resolved."

After he finished speaking, he didn't offer any further explanation.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he pushed open the door to the law firm.

In an instant, the noise outside reached my ears, and the scenery unique to 2002 burst into view.

He stopped thinking and rode his bicycle home.

I need to test out my skills!

After Xu De disappeared, the lawyers in the hall looked surprised.

"Case 103 was resolved so quickly!?"

"By the way, don't you guys think...?"

"Attorney Xu seems a little different than before?"

The female lawyer started chattering away.

"Indeed... her demeanor has changed... but upon closer inspection, it seems like nothing has changed."

"Haha, all I know is that bastard Sun Hao definitely didn't expect that Attorney Xu would be able to solve this case!"

Someone started laughing.

They also disliked Sun Hao's personality and way of dealing with people.

Xu De has unexpectedly completed this case...

I wonder what kind of expression the other person will have when they receive this news.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

"What are you all laughing at? Is this a place for you to chat?!"

Sun Hao's voice suddenly rang out.

The lawyer in the lobby turned his head and saw Sun Hao standing not far away, walking towards the check-in point.

The other person walked by, looking at them and scolding them.

"Heh, it's after get off work hours now." Someone rolled their eyes.

He has no resume whatsoever, got promoted through connections, and yet he still enjoys 'managing' them!

Sun Hao was about to get angry, but unexpectedly, the other person's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at him with a smile.

"Congratulations, Team Leader Sun, your team has completed another special consultation project."

Did your subordinates complete the consultation?

"That doesn't make sense. My men never have time for consultations; they're all busy fighting..."

As Sun Hao spoke, seeing the mocking looks in the eyes of those around him, he suddenly thought of someone and blurted out:

"Xu De?"

If we're talking about specialized consulting, then Xu De is the only one.

But... is it really that easy to get a request from Reception Room 103?!

The client's request for a divorce with no financial settlement is simply impossible!

This case had been sitting on the law firm for half a month, and no one could get help from it. It was precisely because of this that he let Xu De take it on, and he even thought that Xu De would have trouble sleeping these past few nights.

this...

"He finished!?"

Sun Hao looked surprised.

Just then, the finance department staff came to clock out, and Sun Hao immediately grabbed Li, the cashier, who was coming over.

"Treasurer Li, has Xu De finished the consultation case for No. 103?!" Sun Hao asked anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Cashier Li nodded and said, "It's indeed completed; the client has already signed."

It's actually done!

Sun Hao's face immediately turned ugly, and he spoke again, unwilling to give up:

"Did the customer get impatient after several visits and finally settle the deal?"

Cashier Li looked surprised and shook his head:

"No, the client was very satisfied. He even wanted to give Attorney Xu a 20,000 yuan tip, but that didn't comply with the rules... so in the end, he could only add 999 yuan."

999? Add 700 and it's 1700!?

Now.

Not only Sun Hao, but the other lawyers also showed surprise on their faces.

"Seventeen hundred yuan...wow, that's more than a normal person's monthly salary!"

"I only made 2,800 last month."

"He earns me more than half a month's worth of money in just one hour! Team Leader Sun has really got a capable assistant!"

As someone spoke, the topic shifted back to Sun Hao.

Now, everyone's gaze was like a red-hot iron, burning hot as it was cast onto Sun Hao's face.

His face immediately turned ashen.

His attempt to provoke the other party backfired; he intended to make things difficult for them, but instead, they gained the credit for his project...

"What are you all doing here after get off work?!"

Sun Hao, enraged and embarrassed, said...

"Haha, let's go out for dinner. We'll congratulate Lawyer Xu again tomorrow morning."

The people around didn't press him any further, just laughed it off and left.

As for Sun Hao...

He stood in front of the time clock, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"It's just a consultation, nothing serious..."

"Didn't you want me to give you some big cases?"

Sun Hao sneered inwardly, clearly having a plan.

What is a major case? A criminal case is a major case!

This is different from civil matters; if you don't do it well, it can ruin your career!

Moreover, Xu De may be lucky enough to solve a civil case, but criminal cases... don't depend on luck, only on ability.

"Just then, the aid agency received a criminal case that was both unprofitable and time-consuming..."

Sun Hao murmured.

"I'd like to see...how you're going to solve this!"

......

......

It's 6 PM.

Room 404, Red Maple Residential Area, Green Forest City.

"Snapped!"

As the switch clicked, a rather simple rental room appeared before us.

"Tsk, just like in my previous life."

Xu De glanced around at the extremely simple 30-square-meter rental room, but felt no emotion.

He was an orphan, orphaned at birth and father in childhood. Every step he took was arduous, requiring immense effort and endurance, so naturally he wouldn't have a comfortable place to live.

Looking back, he felt somewhat dazed, but he didn't dwell on it any longer and instead put his thoughts aside.

Xu De summoned the light screen and, without hesitation, added all 10 thank-you coins to his cooking skills.

[Consumes 10 Thanks Coins]

【天赋:厨艺lv1(0/10)—升级至—厨艺lv2(0/20)】

Then, she walked towards the kitchen.

"Buzz~!"

The sound of a stove fire broke out, and the busy noise added a touch of warmth to the otherwise silent room.

To be honest, his cooking skills used to be just average, but with the help of [Cooking Skills]... his knife skills and wok tossing all feel like they're second nature!

a long time.

"Sizzle!"

Xu De brought several steaming hot dishes to the table.

After washing his hands, he sat down, picked up a piece with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth. Instantly, the salty and savory flavor spread across his taste buds.

Xu De raised an eyebrow and continued tasting.

After a while...

"Tsk, it's probably comparable to the cooking skills of some well-run restaurants."

After Xu De finished his meal, a satisfied look appeared on his face.

It seems the system is very strict in determining levels, with the upper limit of five levels... which should be comparable to the level of a state banquet chef. Ordinary people and some chefs probably haven't even reached 'lv1'.

"However... civil commissions can only be used to gain experience; the truly useful skills... can only be obtained through criminal cases."

Xu De fell into thought, muttering to himself.

According to the system introduction, civil cases reward a lot of gratitude coins, the drop rate of talent skills is extremely low, and the skill [Cooking] is purely a matter of luck.

Criminal cases, on the other hand, are the opposite.

"I need to find an opportunity to take on criminal cases and then leave Jinmao Law Firm."

Xu De sat in the chair, now having a clear plan for his future.

Leaving the law firm...

Relying on one's legal talent... it's entirely possible to run a top-tier law firm!

I put my thoughts aside.

He turned to look at the mostly uneaten dishes on the table in front of him.

He picked it up and walked toward the dilapidated refrigerator.

"Snapped!"

The refrigerator door was open, revealing the leftover food inside, which was quite crowded.

Xu De struggled to stuff all the freshly cooked dishes inside.

"Tsk, there's a lot of leftovers..."

Looking at the refrigerator in front of him, Xu De felt a headache coming on.

It can't be thrown away, but it's also inedible...

"I remember... there were two brothers who scavenged for scraps near my house?"

Xu De suddenly fell into memories.

In my previous life, there were two orphaned brothers who scavenged for scraps nearby. I fed them many times, but they suddenly disappeared and I don't know where they went.

"It will happen again in this lifetime."

Xu De pictured two dirty, grinning children.

"I'll bring it to you on my way to work tomorrow."

Thinking of this.

Xu De ignored it and went to the toilet to wash up.

In a daze, Zhang Hu's image suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Judging by the time... he should have met with his wife by now."

Xu De looked at himself in the mirror, recalling that he was the world's first client for specialized consultation, and raised his eyebrows.

"I wonder what he's doing."

......

......

What is Zhang Hu doing?

At this moment, inside the villa, in the huge living room, he was lying on the sofa, watching the color TV on the wall.

Not long after.

"Click!"

The villa's gate was opened.

Hearing the commotion, Zhang Hu turned around and saw a middle-aged woman with a charming figure and good looks walk in.

This is......

"Bai Jie".

Zhang Hu spoke instinctively, and the woman in front of him was none other than his cheating wife.

Bai Jie ignored him, a smile on her face, looking quite pleased with herself. As she walked into the living room, her burning, greedy eyes swept around the room.

The thought of receiving millions after the divorce filled Bai Jie with anticipation.

Once I get divorced and take the money, I'll be an independent woman and won't have to depend on anyone else!

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhang Hu on the sofa, composed herself, and coldly pulled a contract from her bag and threw it at him.

"This is the contract I had a lawyer draft."

"It's a very fair property division agreement. If you take it to other lawyers, they will only agree that this is the limit of what you can negotiate."

"Once you've signed, we'll find some time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get a divorce."

Zhang Hu was furious.

just?

So, it's considered fair that all the money being cut is his?

He was about to unleash a torrent of abuse when he suddenly remembered what Xu De had told him...

Immediately, Zhang Hu had an idea and tore up the contract in front of Bai Jie.

"Sizzle!"

The contract was immediately torn up.

Bai Jie frowned and couldn't help but speak:

"What do you mean? Let me tell you, this is already my biggest concession, you..."

Unexpectedly, Bai Jie had not finished speaking.

Then Zhang Hu suddenly spoke:

"I won't get a divorce!"

No...no divorce?

Bai Jie paused, her face showing surprise, her brows furrowing. "What do you mean?"

"Wife, I actually love you, I don't want a divorce!"

Although Zhang Hu's eyes showed no affection, he had a smile on his face.

Bai Jie was stunned. She knew that not long ago, the other party hated her so much that she wanted her to die!

How come you suddenly say you love yourself after just one day?

"What...what do you mean?"

Bai Jie hesitated, wondering what trick the other party was up to.

"I really love you," Zhang Hu said.

Bai Jie paused, then suddenly spoke up after a moment's thought: "I've recently taken a liking to a pair of earrings, so, honey, what do you...?"

Zhang Hu was very generous when he loved her.

but.......

Zhang Hu smiled and said:

"I have no money."

Bai Jie then said, "There's another bag that's very cheap, you..."

Zhang Hu continued to smile.

"Still no money."

Bai Jie immediately retorted angrily, "What tricks are you playing, Zhang?! I advise you to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible; it'll be better for both of us!"

"That won't do."

Zhang Hu's smile deepened, tinged with a hint of amusement. He spoke:

"I'm definitely not getting a divorce!"

The marriage is off, and no money will be given. That's the answer when asked...

"Wife, I love you."
