When CE’s legal department was mentioned, Chu Xiyao’s already straight back straightened even more.

In the litigation circles of Country A, there’s a saying: "You can sue any company, except CE’s legal department."

This is no exaggeration. In the past sixteen years, CE has maintained a terrifying record, with a winning rate of over 84% in major cases.

What made CE famous overnight was an international cross-border case twelve years ago amounting to nine billion US dollars.

Since then, no one in the international community has dared to question the capability of CE’s legal department.

CE’s legal department has over 150 lawyers alone, not even counting others, and many companies simply surrender without a fight at the sight of them.

Qin Ke, hearing Chu Xiyao’s words: "..."

They had indeed heard about CE’s legal department, but hadn’t she heard of Qianran International’s legal department?

Since their President Su is the president of the Fashion Association, then everyone is family. If the Fashion Association can’t win, isn’t there still Qianran International?

In the realm of lawsuits, Qianran International has never been afraid of anyone!

She glanced at the slightly arrogant Chu Xiyao and retracted her previous thoughts.

Alright, maybe she really hadn’t heard of it.

However, this was the first time she encountered someone daring to boast so much in front of their President Su.

Sure enough, Qin Ke glanced secretly at the very relaxed Su Ran seated.

The next second, she confirmed she saw their President Su’s eyes light up.

She: "..."

This CE’s legal department has piqued their President Su’s interest.

Hearing Chu Xiyao’s words, Su Ran raised an eyebrow. It was also her first time encountering someone who wanted to sue her. "So, CE doesn’t plan to apologize and chooses to persist unyieldingly?"

Chu Xiyao didn’t speak, but her attitude had already answered Su Ran’s question.

Having an international brand like CE apologize is absolutely impossible!

"So, we also can’t expect President Chu to have a heart for Hua Country and protect Hua’s culture?"

Chu Xiyao curled her lips, her face expressionless, "In his position, seek his policies, does President Su not understand such a simple truth?"

Su Ran nodded, "Indeed I don’t understand. Since President Chu has such confidence in CE’s legal department, we’ll just have to wait and see. However, I have just as much confidence in Hua’s lawyers. I’m afraid that by the time President Chu and CE want to not apologize, it’ll be hard!"

Chu Xiyao’s pupils trembled violently; she looked up at the calm and composed Su Ran, seemingly unable to maintain her always-concealed calmness anymore.

The barely contained rage in her gaze was evident.

"Su Ran, why so haughty?! The only reason you’re targeting me like this is because of Qi Yuan, right? Let me tell you, Qi Yuan and I grew up together. Some relationships can’t be easily disrupted by your interference!"

She snorted coldly, her tone full of sarcasm, "And ultimately, isn’t your confidence derived from Qi Yuan? Without Qi Yuan, do you really think CE would take you seriously? Ha, the president of the Fashion Association depending on a man, so what are you so proud of?!"

Su Ran was momentarily dumbfounded by Chu Xiyao’s words.

Chu Xiyao, who always prided herself as the future head of the Chu family, had always been aloof and arrogant.

Since their first meeting, she hadn’t taken her seriously, or rather, hadn’t seen her as a competitor.

So she had always been dismissive, indifferent, and at first could even be polite to her.

But as things gradually slipped from her control, when she discovered her only superiority was her family background, her dignified demeanor vanished, her composure crumbled.

So she thought it was because of Qi Yuan that she was so confident the Fashion Association could surpass CE?

"..."

Su Ran felt speechless. The more she interacted, the more Chu Xiyao, the future head of the Chu family, came across as lovestruck, just like now while their focus was clearly on business, she insisted on talking about men.

And it was about her man.

How was she supposed to tolerate this?

Su Ran sat up straighter, her lackadaisical expression slightly restrained, "Miss Chu, firstly, Ah Yuan is my fiancé. Are you saying I’m targeting you because of my fiancé? Do you have such big words?"

"Secondly, you’ve mentioned countless times in front of me that you and Qi Yuan grew up together. Is growing up together so great? Worth boasting to me each time? And, since you think my presence can’t disrupt your relationship, what are you worried about? Besides, I don’t think my fiancé has any relation with you, after all, he’s never given you a second thought!"

"You..."

"Finally..." Su Ran stood up from her chair leisurely, interrupting her, "I also see nothing wrong in relying on my man. Does Miss Chu wish to rely on him too, but can you?"

"You..."

Chu Xiyao suddenly stood up from the sofa, Qi Yuan had always been her bottom line. Su Ran’s words were ruthless!

"Miss Chu!!" Su Ran interrupted Chu Xiyao again, but this time her tone turned cold, her gaze sharp, "Instead of obsessing over others’ men, why not think about how CE is going to weather this crisis. Since CE’s legal department is so formidable, let’s wait and see!"

Chu Xiyao’s face changed and then she sneered, "It’s just a minor plagiarism scandal, what crisis? President Su, are you underestimating CE too much!"

"Really?" Su Ran chuckled lightly, "As far as I know, CE has always been a bridge for the Nixi Socialite Ball. Everyone used to give CE face because of the Claire Family. But now, with the Nixi Socialite Ball approaching, if CE loses this lawsuit, even has to apologize publicly, will CE still be everyone’s first choice? Will they not lose many connections?"

"Su Ran!!"

Chu Xiyao’s rage reached its peak, she was furious beyond control.

This woman actually set her sights on the Nixi Socialite Ball.

How dare she?

How dare she!

"Actually, after this Paris Fashion Week ends, CE being the first choice for the Nixi Socialite Ball has already become history!"

Chu Xiyao ground her teeth in anger, her initial grace and elegance vanished completely, she glared at Su Ran, finally laughing in her rage, "With you? Trying to shake CE’s position at the Nixi Socialite Ball? Impossible in this lifetime!!"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, "Whether it’s possible, President Chu will soon find out."

"You..."

Chu Xiyao was so angered by Su Ran’s indifferent demeanor her chest hurt, "Su Ran, don’t get too smug! The lawsuit won’t be lost, and Queen can’t replace CE! I..." also won’t lose to you!!

Su Ran nodded casually, with an infuriatingly indifferent expression, "I have Ah Yuan, indeed, I’m smug!"

"You..." Chu Xiyao was shaking with anger, at the brink of rage, yet could only coldly smile, "Su Ran, enjoy your smugness, I don’t believe you can stay smug forever! We’ll see!!"

With that, Chu Xiyao grabbed her things and left the office.

Her retreat seemed aggressive, yet it couldn’t help but seem like a hasty exit.
