Chapter 166: Accompany You
, nor does she understand it.At a young age, when first love blossomed, she went abroad alone. Back then, adapting to life overseas and simply surviving took all her energy.After she adapted, she focu..."Neither here nor there." Shu Tinglan saw through his pretense and responded coldly.
Among the colleagues present, anyone who wasn't blind could see the unusual relationship between the two just from their interactions. Attorney Shi, being a bit older, warmly greeted
"Is Mr. Zhu also on a business trip"
"Yes."
"That's quite a coincidence. What floor do you live on I'll take you there."
Zuo Yu'an glanced down at the room number: 1102.
1102
"Mr. Zhuo, what a coincidence, we also live on the 11th floor."
Shoutinglan and Ms. Mi, the assistant to Mr. Shi, lived in adjacent rooms, 1102 and 1103 respectively on the eleventh floor.
A group of people laughed as they got into the elevator. Shū Tīnglán and Zhuó Yǔ'ān stood shoulder to shoulder in the last row, and he reached back to take her hand.
Zhuo Yu returned directly to 1102, Shu Tinglan and Shi Lü's assistant returned to 1103, Zhao Miaoguo and Zhang Jing shared the same room in 1109 at the tail end of this floor corridor, opposite them was Shi Lü's single room in 1108.
Because they had a full day of meetings, everyone was quite tired and went back to their own rooms.
Shi Lü's assistant, Misan, was very responsible and meticulous in her work. After returning to her room to freshen up briefly, she applied a face mask and began organizing the meeting minutes from the day at her computer.
Shu Tinglan's mood was disrupted by Zhuo YUAN'an's sudden visit. She glanced at her WeChat, where he had sent a photo of his hotel room.
"Are you sure you're not coming tonight You'll leave me all alone" with a sad emoji.
"Serves you right, who asked you to come!" Shu Tinglan lay in bed chatting with Zhu YUAN on WeChat, but she had made up her mind not to go to his place.
Mishan finished her work and apologized, looking a bit embarrassed:
"Mr. Shu, should I turn off the lights Sorry for disturbing you."
"It's alright, I'll turn off the lights."
Shu Tinglan had a good impression of Misan. She recalled the time she stayed in a hotel with an unfamiliar colleague, and also when she lived with Ji Jia during their stay at Qining. However, Misan and Ji Jia were completely different personalities. Misan was very serious and responsible at work, and she was also quiet, not putting much energy into office gossip.
Now that she was done with her work, her faint and regular breathing soon filled the air, signaling sleep. On the contrary, Shu Tinglan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. All because a man in the next room kept sending her pitiful WeChat messages.
"Honey, I can't sleep alone, it's pitiful. gif."
Shu Tinglan was speechless. How could she not know that Zhuo Y uan was such a clingy person She didn't reply to his message.
After a while, realizing she probably wasn't coming, he sent another message.
"Goodnight, baby!"
"Good night!"
She made up her mind not to go. First, she thought it would be a bad influence, after all, she was here to work, not on vacation. Second, and more importantly, she didn't want him to drive back and forth 100 kilometers every day to see her. If she didn't go to see him the first night, he naturally wouldn't come again.
When they went to the restaurant for breakfast the next morning, Lawyer Shi said:
"Is Mr. Zhu still asleep"
"Should we leave him some breakfast The hotel breakfast buffet ends in 15 minutes." Misan looked at Shu Tinglan and asked, after all, among the colleagues present, only Shu Tinglan was close to him, while the others were just acquaintances.
However, Shu Tinglan was the most carefree. He didn't even lift his head as he said,
"No need, he'll figure it out himself."
But that's a little unusual, he always gets up early and eats regularly, there's no reason why he wouldn't be up at this point Could it really be that he couldn't sleep last night because of the change in environment, insomnia
After she finished breakfast, she called him. It rang once before he answered.
"Haven't you gotten up yet" she asked.
"Up and at 'em, on the highway. Got an early morning meeting." He spoke in a steady voice, headphones on.
Shū Tínglàn couldn't help but feel angry.
“You have a morning meeting to open, what are you doing here last night”
"I'll be with you." He said it calmly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Accompanying someone through a wall" she laughed out of sheer disbelief.
"Well!" Even through a wall, she was there with him. After all, they couldn't be too far apart. It was really her who kept him company.
"Drive carefully, don't answer calls, and hang up." It's both heartbreaking and infuriating.
Over there, Lawyer Shi and her team have already gotten into the car to wait for her. They are heading to YuZhong Real Estate Company for the acquisition launch ceremony today. Gao, the CEO of Lisen Innovation, will also be coming, along with Director Xiao and representatives from other cooperating institutions.
Yu Zhong Real Estate attaches great importance to this meeting. The venue was set up early, and each seat had a name tag so they could just sit down directly.
The launch ceremony is where the client company and the target company introduce themselves to each other, followed by self-introductions from various cooperating institutions such as law firms, auditing agencies, and assessment agencies. They clarify their respective responsibilities and shout slogans at appropriate times to demonstrate their commitment.
At every meeting like this, the self-introductions and the slogan voting are always handled by Director Xiao from our firm. She is the boss and well-known in the industry, so for many projects in the group, she basically just shows her face once to express the importance of the lawyers.
But this time, as Director Xiao was preparing to take the stage, Li Song, CEO of Lisensen Creative, a client, had already taken the lead and motioned for Shu Tinglan to give the presentation.
General Gao always publicly elevated Shu Tinglan's status to demonstrate that she was the true leader of this project. Shu Tinglan was quite embarrassed, but fortunately, Director Xiao had long cultivated a thick skin and didn't mind these things. Her standard was clear: as long as good projects could be brought in and the team's performance soared, she didn't care if people ran wild over her head.
Besides, Gao always's stance was also right. He did this project for Shu Tinglan because of Lu always's face, so naturally he had to maintain a good relationship with Shu Tinglan.
Shū Tīnglan was called upon to give a speech without any preparation. Fortunately, she had listened to quite a few lectures by Director Xi before, so her self-introduction, introduction of each team member, explanation of work responsibilities, and statement of determination went smoothly.
After coming down from the stage, her heart was still beating fast, having completed another self-challenge. Director Xiao quietly gave her a thumbs-up to encourage her.
Human progress is rapid, driven by one's own efforts, the pressure from the outside world to move forward, and the unwavering support of others. Shu Tinglan thought, how lucky she was, having everything in place: favorable timing, advantageous circumstances, and supportive people.
After the launch ceremony, Director Xiao returned to Senzhou. They also entered a busy due diligence process. Shu Tinglan and Lawyer Shi were responsible for the overall coordination and communication of the project. In terms of specific assignments, Lawyer Shi led Miss Mi Shan to be mainly responsible for investigating the qualifications, finances, contracts, and equity changes of Yuzhong Real Estate Company. Meanwhile, Shu Tinglan led Zhang Jing and Zhao Miaoguo to investigate the relevant materials of Kangcheng Nursing Home Project, which was acquired this time. Their focus was on various approval documents and licenses of the Kangcheng project.
Any division is clear, Lawyer Shi's group is responsible for the due diligence at the company level, and Shu Tinglan's group is responsible for the due diligence of the project. After both groups complete their due diligence, they are finally summarized by Shu Tinglan, who writes a legal opinion report and takes full responsibility for this project.one" She suddenly got out of bed and sure enough, there was no sign of him in the house. She almost cried:"You kicked him out I knew your calm last night was a ploy."Saying that, her eyes really turne...
