Chapter 27: The Old Fox

School, it's not normal for him not to remember her, right"Of course I remember, you were the star student of Qining High." That's what Cheng Chen told her, and there was no way that wasn't true.Zuo...And they, to see Mr. Zhu once, need to make an appointment with his secretary a long time in advance. 。At a glance, the outcome is clear. In this merger and acquisition case, Xiao Junhua from Hongzheng Law Firm has the greatest advantage. 。On the way to Zhuo Yu'an's office, Zhou Ming was very excited, tidying his clothes from time to time and reminding Shu Tinglan, "Don't be nervous when you meet Mr. Zhuo later, listen more and speak less, okay"

"Okay" >>> 。“This was Shu Tinglan’s first time seeing Zhuo Yu'an at work. He was very cold and serious, never smiling. When he saw them enter, he merely raised his eyes slightly and said:

"Sit " 。

Shu Tinglan's impression of him was vastly different from the reality. In their few encounters, he was always gentle, whether speaking to her or looking at her, making her feel safe and secure. Of course, these encounters happened under special circumstances, in the most intimate moments. If he were as unreachable now as then, it would be unnatural. 。This meeting, as Zhou Ming said, is led by Director Xiao. We don't need to speak, just listen attentively. 。Director Xiao came prepared. She originally wanted to discuss these matters on the flight back, but she had a clear logic. First, she talked about her past successful cases and then led into the current business relationship between Zhuo Yuan Technology and Sheng Pu Rui Intelligent, which was very compatible with her background. Whether in terms of ability or experience, she was capable of handling this merger and acquisition deal. 。Director Xiao is goal-oriented, actively pursues what he wants, and throughout the process, not a single word was wasted. There were no compliments, only professional data presented in each report to illustrate... 。Zhuo Yu'an was also patient, though he didn't show any outward attitude. He didn't interrupt Director Xiao, and even seriously looked at the materials Director Xiao had prepared. 。"Just at the end, he suddenly pointed to several pages of the report and asked,

"Was this report done by Director Xiao"

"It was done by our lawyer Shu, and it still needs to be refined." 。Director Xiao replied. 。"Attorney Shu As far as I know, she's still just an associate attorney." 。“So Senior Xiao sent an associate lawyer to deal with me” Zhu Yu'an never looked at Shu Tinglan, but his tone showed extreme dissatisfaction with the report she had given. 。This was made by Shu Tinglan after working overtime for several days. The fact that it passed Director Xiao's review means there are no problems, so Zhuo Yunan must be deliberately picking on her, right

In this situation, she could only step forward to apologize, accept criticism humbly, and not let Director Xiao take the blame. Just as she was about to speak, Director Xiao beat her to it:

"Director Zhuo, this report is a framework made by Lawyer Shu. If we collaborate, we will implement it to every detail" 。Although Lawyer Shu is currently just an assistant lawyer, she is conscientious and eager to learn. She already has the ability to handle things independently. In this framework, most of the issues that need to be considered have been covered. Later, I will ask Lawyer Shu to further refine a version. 。Shutinglan didn't expect that Director Xiao would speak up for her and praise her in front of the clients. She felt a touch of warmth in her heart. 。Zhu Y uan remained silent, flipping through the report once more. Finally, he said with a light tone, "I believe Director Xiao has a good eye for people." 。"It indirectly affirmed Shutinglan's work.

" 。"However, we haven't started the bidding process for the acquisition yet. Director Xiao, you may want to be patient and wait a few more days." 。Zhu Yu set the guests away and never loosened his grip. No matter how professional and capable Director Xiao was, he couldn't get a glimpse of anything. 。As Zhou Ming, who was always good at enlivening the atmosphere, perhaps because of Zhu Yu'an's powerful aura or his overly serious demeanor, he didn't get a chance to speak at all. 。。But how did he know that Tinglan was just an associate lawyer Remarkable observation skills. 。Shu Tinglan was feeling guilty, so she always kept her words cautious as a lawyer. At the high school reunion, she casually mentioned that she was still an associate attorney, and he remembered it. 。The harder the bone, the more meaningful it is. 。Xiaoshu, could you please revise the report over the next couple of days and personally deliver it to Mr. Zhuo 。"Mr. Xiao suddenly ordered" 。"Me personally deliver it" Shu Tinglan was taken aback, and for a moment she couldn't figure out Director Xiao's intentions. However, as she sat at the desk in the law firm and recalled her visit to Zhuo Yuan Technology earlier that day, she gradually understood Director Xiao's arrangement. 。When Xiao, the director, was in Zhuo Y uan's office, he said, "I will ask Shu, the lawyer, to refine the document given to you." 。"Director Xiao intentionally used her imperfect risk assessment report to secure another meeting opportunity. " 。Since this report is merely for discussion, it holds no weight and will not affect the outcome. 。As expected, the veteran is still the most capable. Director Xiao's achievements today are certainly not accidental. 。

Shu Tinglan immediately threw himself into work, flipping through a large number of cases to find inspiration. 。The previous report was written by Director Xiao during her time abroad. There were two drafts, the first of which was directly rejected by Director Xiao. The second draft only passed Director Xiao's review after being personally guided by Teacher Zhou. This is the third version, where some details have been added. 。

By the time I got back home, it was past 9 o'clock in the evening. 。When she saw Zhuo Yunan again at her doorstep, she was a little surprised. Because last night when he left, he was clearly angry, and during the day at Zhuo Yuan Technology, he didn't even look at her, and even criticized her assistant lawyer status. She thought he wouldn't come back. 。"The vegetables I bought yesterday will go bad if I don't cook them. " 。He seemed to be explaining something, then stood by the door, waiting for Shu Tinglan to open it in an extremely natural manner. 。Oh

"Shu Tinglan thought, 'Does this person have split personality

He acts one way at the company and completely different at home.'" 。Public is public, private is private, clear distinctions are made. 。In her view, since they were both adults, a physical relationship was purely a matter of mutual need. There was no need to let it permeate each other's lives. 。"You work late every day" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。He's not to blame for this, is he He’s unsatisfied with her report and keeps delaying the bidding meeting, leaving all of us law firms running around. 。"Enjoying the job" he asked again. 。"Well"

Shu Tinglan was not being stingy with his words, but rather facing Zhuo Yunan, he didn't know what to say. He even thought that if the other party was willing, they could get straight to the point, have a passionate and unrestrained exchange, and then be exhausted and fall asleep directly. 。She's never been a great sleeper, but the few nights she spent with him, she slept soundly through the night without a single dream. 。She enjoys both the fast-food nature of it and the high quality of sleep. 。

As soon as she got home, she took the initiative, leaning up to kiss him on the chin, her lips 。Zuo Yu'an's eyes sank, tightening his arms around her. 。She took the lead and let him guide her through the rest, leading her on a rollercoaster of emotions. 。This kind of thing, it also comes with practice. After several times, we already know each other's weaknesses and strengths, so we can easily reach the peak. 。 to be at home, Gu Ruandong will cancel all his appointments and stay home with her, trying not to go out.Days, often Gu Ruandong would sit on the sofa looking at work files. He didn't use his phone o...
