Chapter 116: Chapter 115: Famous Overnight (Double-Length)
“Poster: Big Boss, did something happen to you?”
Ji Xizhi saw the latest private message asking if something happened to her, and her hand paused mid-withdrawal.
She then scrolled down and clicked into the message.
She had followed up with this poster last time, mostly chatting with his lawyer. After the case was over and she received the payment, she never logged into the forum again.
The timing coincided with her finishing the lawsuit, and then she was busy learning from her mentor, so she forgot about this matter.
Unexpectedly, the other person continued to send her messages tirelessly.
Ji Xizhi quickly glanced through these messages and replied.
“5577: No issues, just haven’t been online recently.”
As soon as the message was sent, the poster on the other end quickly received it.
The young man who posted last time was none other than Xue Fan, the eldest son of the Xue Family, who just returned from abroad and was caught up in an inheritance lawsuit due to his father’s unexpected death.
After winning the lawsuit, he’s been dealing with family matters.
With sudden changes in the family, and now as the backbone of the household, Xue Fan has been shouldering everything. Ji Xizhi helped him during his most helpless times with the lawsuit, earning his deep trust.
The Xue Family’s company will inevitably need a lawyer later, and Xue Fan doesn’t trust the current company lawyers, so he occasionally goes online to look for this mysterious big boss 5577.
But he didn’t expect that after searching for months, the big boss hadn’t logged in even once.
Xue Fan even started imagining that something must have happened to the big boss 5577! Perhaps there was some reason that she couldn’t appear, maybe she was being hunted?!!
After all, the legal profession isn’t that safe, and such a big boss like 5577 previously said she didn’t have a legal certificate, which sure implies that something happened before preventing her from appearing in court again.
The more Xue Fan thought about it, the more excited he became, imagining a scenario where a generation’s big boss, due to various reasons, could no longer appear in court and had to settle for the forum instead! She couldn’t come into public view; she was surrounded by crises, with countless predators eyeing her every move!
Xue Fan’s blood rushed to his head. He could help the big boss!!!
To wait for 5577’s reply, he specifically set up a special notification for the big boss 5577.
As long as 5577 replied, it would automatically send an email alert to him.
Xue Fan waited a long time, finally receiving a response from the big boss 5577 today.
Xue Fan opened the forum and deftly opened the message.
The computer screen displayed only a short sentence.
The big boss said there’s no issue—does that mean the big boss has already resolved the trouble?!
Xue Fan immediately sent back a message,
“Poster: Big Boss, do you remember me? It’s Xue Fan from the inheritance lawsuit last time! Are you taking cases recently?”
“5577: Not taking any, not short of money lately.”
Xue Fan: …?
His hand trembled while typing, and he even knocked off a keyboard cap.
The big boss would have moments of needing money? With those skills that can turn the tide, could there be a lack of money?!
But soon, he understood that being forced to not appear publicly was also plausible!
Xue Fan felt he should help the big boss even more.
“Poster: Are you abroad, Big Boss?”
During the live broadcast of the “Life Experience” program, Ji Xizhi saw the message from Xue Fan and was momentarily surprised, wondering how it got linked to being abroad.
However, she didn’t dwell on it and still replied to him.
“5577: No, I’m domestic.”
“Poster: There’s a gala next Saturday, hosted by the Feng Family, celebrating the return of their eldest son. The Feng Family will be inviting various influential families and legal elites. Would you like to attend, Big Boss? I could send you two invitations.”
Xue Fan had only recently received the news. He’s quite familiar with the Feng Family, so he knows they’re hosting this grand gala to pave the way for their eldest son’s venture into the legal world. He’d seen the guest list, from renowned law firms’ lawyers to top law students from prestigious schools.
In short, this gala is packed with people and resources, offering a chance to network for families like theirs.
If the big boss 5577 is willing to attend, she would surely acquire a lot of resources from this gala.
Of course, Xue Fan also had his own reasons—seeing the big boss 5577 in person would be an amazing bonus!
After all, the chance of meeting such a big boss is extremely rare.
Before Xue Fan could finish his thoughts, Ji Xizhi had already declined.
“5577: No need, thank you.”
Xue Fan’s expectations were promptly dashed by these words.
With such a straightforward refusal, Xue Fan realized that the big boss 5577 genuinely didn’t like socializing, and the road to seeing the real big boss 5577 was a long one!
