Chapter 23: Fairies

give my regards to Mr. Xiao.""Hello, Mr. Shu, nice to see you often."Zhuo Y uan, who had remained silent until then, waited for Lawyer Zhang to finish his pleasantries before speaking."Come on, I'll w...Several lawyers working in the lobby heard this and couldn't help but burst into laughter. They all remembered Shu Tinglan's previous eagerness to contact Mr. Zhuo. 。"Jiajia, remember that you are a lawyer. Taking pictures of others without their consent is suspected of violating privacy, especially since the other party is Mr. Zhuo." 。Zhou Ming, standing beside her, suddenly reprimanded her sharply. Anyone with eyes could see that he was rescuing Shu Tinglan. 。Jia Jia was taken aback: "I'll delete it now. Lawyer Zhou is so serious, it was just a joke." The office fell silent instantly. Zhou Ming was the most experienced lawyer in the M&A team besides Director Xiao, and he was very likely to be promoted to partner. Don't look at him as carefree on weekdays, when he gets serious, he's imposing, and Jia Jia didn't dare to say much. 。Fortunately, everyone began to get busy because even the more strict Mr. Xiao had come to work. He carried a laptop bag in one hand and a small suitcase in the other as if he were going on a business trip. As soon as he walked into the office, he ordered: "Everyone put aside your current work and go to the conference room for a meeting." 。The colleagues in the M&A team, some of whom are currently on business trips, leave only a dozen or so people in the office. Director Xiao is known for her efficiency and decisiveness. During the meeting, she quickly went over the projects everyone had in hand. For a few projects facing difficulties, she cleared up the lawyers' thinking with just a few words. 。Shu Tinglan admired her greatly for being able to output at such a high density and quality in such a short period of time, something beyond the reach of ordinary people. 。At the end of the meeting, Director Xiao specifically arranged for Shu Tinglan's work, mainly responsible for collecting relevant information about Zhuyuan Technology. 。I will be out of the country for about two weeks. If you have any questions, please ask Zhou Lawyer first, or email me. 。Okay, Director Xiao. 。Director Xiao has many projects in hand, and is the legal counsel for several listed companies, so he is almost always on business trips. This time, his sudden trip abroad makes people wonder which project it's for. 。Zhou Ming whispered to Shu Tinglan:

"Xiao Zhu this time kicked against a hard nut. Zhuo Yu'an is deep and unfathomable, still keeping his stance, and several law firms are fighting tooth and nail..." 。Their legal department also inherited his teachings, keeping everything under wraps. They wouldn't even reveal the bidding time, leaving everyone feeling like headless flies. 。"Is there no other way How did we win cooperation for other projects before""For most companies, we participate in bidding directly through their lawyer pool. Some are also introductions from existing clients." 。But Zhuruan Technology has only been based in China for two years, lacking a lawyer pool and with their in-house legal team already being very strong, resulting in few opportunities for external collaborations. 。This acquisition deal is very attractive with a high price tag. Besides domestic top law firms vying for it, several well-known international law firms are also interested. 。If Director Xiao can secure this project, it will be another milestone in her career. 。Zhou Ming patiently explained to Shu Tinglan. 。Although Shu Tinglan and Zhu Yuanan had two intimate encounters, she didn't know anything about him. So she dared not speak up and try to win him over, for fear of making a fool of herself. 。Zhou Ming said again: "But don't be too discouraged, after all, our Director Xiao is Director Xiao. She specially went to Qining to meet Wang Yan, the Chief Technology Officer of Zhuoyuan Technology, do you know why"

"Why"

"Because Zhuoyuan Technology was stolen by a competitor, and it was Wang Yan and the designer Jane who developed the concept product together. They are now in court, and Director Xiao is the agent lawyer for this case. The headquarters of Zhuoyuan Technology is abroad, and this time Director Xiao went abroad with Zhu Yu'an." 。。She's using a roundabout approach, not directly discussing the M&A project. Instead, she's starting with smaller deals first. Only after gaining Wang Yan and Legal's trust will she have a chance to earn Zhuo YUAN's trust. 。When they first heard about the theft of Zhuoyuan Technology's concept product, they just treated it as a piece of news, and forgot about it after listening. 。And Director Xiao has already found a breakthrough, so he went to Qining to help Wang Yan in the robotics competition, laying out all of this. 。"Study hard from Director Xiao, if you learn 70% of what he teaches, you'll have a bright future." 。

Mr. Xiao was right not to let you work with me and instead take you under his wing personally.

Zhou Ming spoke solemnly. 。You have a lot of good potential, you're resilient and very thorough in your work. 。In our line of work, professional knowledge is the key, but our long-term development depends on hard work, diligence, and a sense of responsibility. 。These few words are simple, but few can truly do it. 。The sudden praise left Shu Tinglan a little at a loss, she could only nod and humbly say "

"Teacher Zhou, I will try my best.

" 。"Do you know why Director Xiao chose you from a pile of people who were better than you at the interview" Shutinglan shook her head. This was also something she had always been curious about. 。After the interview, she felt that she probably wouldn't be hired. 。"Firstly, your appearance stands out. Secondly, during the interview, you were very composed, spoke little, but every word you said was to the point. Thirdly, your resume is incredibly concise, even perfect. From the layout and formatting of the font to even the punctuation, not a single mistake." 。A huge part of our daily work is writing reports for clients, so this is crucial. 。"Oh, I see."

Because of Zhou Ming's words, Shu Tinglan, who had always been rather lackluster in confidence at the law firm, regained a bit of self-assurance. 。"Teacher Zhou, thank you!" 。She's been sincere, working at the law firm for over half a year, Zhou Ming has always taken good care of her. 。"How can I repay you"

"Take you out for a meal, what do you say When are you free"

"Why wait for another day Let's just go at noon. The tea restaurant across the street..." 。Zhou Ming decided on the time so happily, without asking Shu Tinglan if she had time at all. 。Shutinglan actually had lunch with Lin Zhifei at noon and was in the tea restaurant across the street. This way, she could only disappoint Lin Zhifei after all, because best friends are there to be bullied 。But when Lin Zhifei heard that she had an appointment with a male colleague, he immediately perked up. "Come eat together! There's nothing important, you don't need to tell the other party, I'll just happen to run into you." 。Shu Tinglan was speechless and could only follow her lead. After all, refusing would be pointless anyway. 。As soon as I stepped into the tea restaurant, I "happened" to run into Lin Zhixu. 。

Lin Zhiyao exuded a captivating charm. She wore a well-tailored blazer, but beneath it was a low-cut black camisole that hinted at more without revealing everything, leaving one with a tantalizing curiosity and an urge to steal another glance. 。Her long, wavy hair flowed loosely, the ends a subtle shade of blue. Every glance, every gesture, exuded an air of charm. 。

Fairy! Shu Tinglan gave her a look of evaluation. 。Lin Zhiyao feigned surprise and exclaimed, "What a coincidence! To meet you during lunch break is so fate. She took Shu Tinglan's hand and said, "Would you mind sharing a table"

“No problem” >>> 。Shuting Lan gritted her teeth and then pulled her closer, making her sit beside him. 。 that voice. She couldn't help but glance at the girl on stage.The girl was dressed simply, in a white t-shirt and jeans. She had an oval face, large and clear eyes, and exuded a sunny and energetic v...
