where my old house used to be. 。Her house was on the street. When she was a child, she could hear the bustling voices of people at the breakfast shop downstairs when she opened the window, or the nois...Lan Xiao Shan, being such a shrewd person, knew that Zuo Yuan Technology was a major client. Previously, Li Anna had painstakingly collaborated with Wang, the agent of Zuo Yuan, mainly to gain access to Zuo Yuan Technology. Since Lawyer Zhang had now taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, there was naturally no reason to refuse.
Shu Tinglan didn't want to cooperate with Zhuoyuan Technology because Li Anna was already working hard on it. She also didn't want to engage in vicious competition within the team and avoid a repeat of what happened with Tingjing Finance before.
Therefore, she proactively recommended: "There is a lawyer named Li Anna in our department who is also an expert in this area. Could we have her go to Zuo Yuan Technology to communicate with you"
"This..." Attorney Zhang thought this was a bit tricky, this collaboration opportunity was tailor-made for her.
On the other hand, Lan Xiaoshan next to her had a newfound respect for her. She had a broad perspective and wasn't fixated on her own small piece of land. This level of understanding wasn't something ordinary people possessed.
Zhuo Yu'an raised an eyebrow and looked at her: "What Is Lawyer Shu rejecting our cooperation with Zhuoyuan Technology Are you looking for another lawyer to deal with us"
He wore a smirk, his tone nonchalant. Shū Tinglan couldn't tell if he was genuinely angry or putting on an act.
Lan Xiaoshan didn't know their relationship. Though he was moved by Shu Tinglan's big picture thinking, on second thought, directly pushing work onto others wasn't appropriate. So he hurriedly answered for her.
“Mr. Shu, please communicate with Mr. Zhu and Ms. Zhang about work matters now.”
Shu Tinglan glanced at Zhuo Yu'an. He actually turned his head to look elsewhere, ignoring her. Instead, Lawyer Zhang was enthusiastic
“This way, Mr. Shu.”
She felt like she'd gotten on a pirate ship and been sold out. The three people in front of her, each one more shrewd than the last, made her feel naive by comparison.
But halfway through, he couldn't help himself. His hand gently came over to take hers. She pulled away, and he grasped it again. After a while, he simply moved closer, snuggling up next to her.
"Still playing" His voice was low and gravelly. There was no one else in the car, driver Chen and lawyer Zhang both knew their relationship.
"Not installed."
"Are you angry that I interrupted your dinner with another man Or are you angry that I introduced you to business" He tightened his grip on her hand.
"Don't talk like that, what do you mean by other men He's my boss, isn't it normal to have dinner with my boss"
"Boss There are so many lawyers in your firm, why did you specifically choose to have dinner with him" He persisted, thinking back to the scene of their lively conversation earlier, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Does he like me" Shu Tinglan countered sarcastically.
"Listen carefully," he gritted out, his voice a low warning.
"Didn't you just want to hear that Think he's into me"
"Isn't it"
"Yes, every man in the world is interested in me. I should stay away from everyone, have no social interaction, and best of all, do nothing every day just wait for you to come home from work." She said angrily after finishing her words, this man was really outlandish, his brain must have been squeezed by a door to think that being a man means he's interested in her.
"It's not impossible either," he pondered seriously, answering with a brazen disregard for propriety.
Before Zhang's lawyer, it sounded like his ears were being polluted. Were the two people behind him arguing or showing off their love
He looked at the driver, Chen Ge, with a puzzled expression. Chen Ge nodded silently: showing affection.
As Mr. Zhuo's driver, he often picks them up and drops them off, so it has become second nature to him.
Only then did Zhuo Y uan get out of the car like a normal person, walking ahead and keeping his distance from them.
Shu Tinglan went in with Lawyer Zhang, and on the way, she met Sun Yuyou who was interning there. She was very happy to see her and greeted her.
"Shu Jie, why are you here"
"Come to the meeting, you don't have to go to school"
"Alright, school starts tomorrow, I'm flying back tonight."
"Best regards to Mr. Sun and his wife from me."
After their farewells, she followed Lawyer Zhang into the conference room.
"Mr. Shu, these are the materials from the subsidiaries. Our headquarters really can't manage them. For any future legal consultations, I will have their person in charge contact you."
Lawyer Zhang gave her a detailed explanation again, and then introduced Shu Tinglan to the head of their subsidiary via an on-site video conference, introducing her in a particularly grand manner so that they could consult her for related business inquiries in the future.
Lawyer Zhang spoke to Shu Tinglan with respect, and the person on the other end of the phone naturally treated him with great respect as well.
Both parties had essentially greeted each other, and Shu Tinglan also scheduled a specific meeting time. The video conference ended then. Afterward, Lawyer Zhang, afraid she might back out, sent her the cooperation contract without delay, asking her to sign it.
Shutinglan took the pen and joked, "It feels like signing a deed of sale."
I flipped through the contract, and there are indeed a lot of unfair clauses. However, all these unfair clauses are directed at Zhuoyuan Technology. They are actually beneficial to her, providing her with performance without any drawbacks. It's like a free boost to her achievements.
"Ms. Zhang, you are really generous. From now on, we'll use this contract as a template for all future collaborations with lawyers."
When Lawyer Zhang saw her sign the contract, he let out a sigh of relief and mentioned what had happened before.
“Mr. Shu, this is me making amends for my previous mistake. The misunderstanding with Agent Wang was caused by me. I insisted on working with your Lanshan Law Firm and almost mentioned your name. Ironically, Agent Wang ended up signing with Ms. Li Anna from your department.”
" This is another one of your CEO Zhu's ideas, isn't it" He promised on the surface that he wouldn't interfere with her work, but secretly he does these things. At the root of it all, he just doesn't believe she can stand firm in Lanshan Law Firm with her own ability He doesn't believe she has the ability to do her job well"
Thinking about this, I get really angry.
Lawyer Zhang didn't answer her question, which was essentially a default. It was originally Mr. Zhuo's idea, although Mr. Zhuo didn't state it explicitly, he made it very clear to him that Lawyer Shu being at Blue Mountain Law Firm wasn't just for show, wasn't he hoping he could lend a hand
After returning to the company, Zhu Yu'an never appeared again. Perhaps he felt guilty and couldn't help but want to reach out to her. It wasn't that he didn't believe in her work ability, but rather he hoped she would have an easier path.
He also told Shu Tinglan the same thing, hoping she could relax a bit and that they didn't have to be so clear-cut about their relationship.
Shu Tinglan was so angry she didn't want to deal with him. To know, because of him and Lawyer Zhang's meddling, her relationship with Li Anna would inevitably become even worse.
After signing the contract, she was about to leave when Sister Cui appeared outside the meeting room, saying that Mr. Zhuo wanted her to go to his office after signing. Sister Cui took her to his office and then left, closing the door behind her.
She stood at the doorway, watching him, but did not step inside.
"What are you just standing there for Come here." He closed his computer screen and looked at her amusedly. and lightheaded. 。All that strength I just showed was for Cheng Zhimin. To be honest, I'm starting to have doubts about this marriage. 。"Teacher Zhou, thank you. I want to be alone for a while." 。"Go...
