Chapter 386: Fair Competition

d not to understand what was being said, and asked her in a strange tone, "Where... wet" Do you want to driveShe wasn't afraid at all. As long as she didn't feel embarrassed, any embarrassment belonge...Before Chinese New Year, Li Anna was smitten with Lu Kuai's enthusiasm for days. Now, she's flustered again after seeing Zhuo Yu An. It can't be blamed on her being fickle; the two men each have their own strengths and charming personalities that make her heart race. She's also grateful to be a lawyer, as it allows her to constantly interact with these people who are usually out of reach.

She was in a good mood when she returned to the law firm. Her assistant told her that this afternoon, she saw the young master of Tingjing Finance at the front desk on the first floor of the firm.

"Lu Kuo Are you looking for me" She quickly opened her phone WeChat and flipped to the chat interface between the two of them. The last conversation was during the Spring Festival when she sent New Year's greetings, and Lu Kuo politely replied, "See you after the new year, Lawyer Li."

It was precisely because of this that she had been waiting for Lu Kuò to make an appointment to meet her afterward, and she had also told her assistant to keep an eye on the visitors.

As it turned out, she happened to be at Zhuo Yuan Technology for a meeting and missed Lu Kuo.

"Does he have time to meet another time" she asked hastily, not knowing if Lu Kuo was coming for business or pleasure, either reason made her heart race.

Assistant replied: "You ask lawyer Shu, is it lawyer Shu who received you."

Her assistant did not see the whole process, she didn't see that Lu Kuo sent Shu Tinglan back, she only saw the two of them standing at the front desk on the first floor talking.

The assistant remembered that Lawyer Li had told her that Lu Kuo might come to the law firm to find her, so she should pay attention. So when she saw Lu Kuo and Shu Tinglan standing at the front desk, she thought it was because Lawyer Li wasn't there, and Lawyer Shu went to receive them.

Li Anna was immediately furious upon hearing this. What did Shu Tinglan mean Was he trying to sabotage her by poaching her clients behind her back

Today, at a meeting in Zhuyuan, Lawyer Zhang specifically asked about Lawyer Shu from the Business Department, which made her feel uncomfortable. Now that Lu Kuai has come to find her, what's the point of her receiving him like this She doesn't understand any industry rules at all.

She strode back into the office with her laptop, anger etched across her face. She stopped in front of Shu Tinglan's desk and tapped it impatiently, demanding an explanation in a sharp voice.

“What did Mr. Lu want to see me about today”

Shu Tinglan was immersed in her work. She had indeed acquired a few clients from Lu Kuo, who had introduced her to several companies they had invested in and jokingly called her the "first person to shear capital wool." She was reviewing the information about these companies when she was suddenly yelled at by Li Anna. Startled, she closed her computer page and asked her...

"What, Mr. Lu"

Shu Tinglan didn't know that Li Anna knew Lu Kuo at all.

"Are you still pretending What were you looking at" Li Anna flipped open her computer with one hand, the page still showing the website for Tingjing Finance.

"I'm looking into information about Whale Hearing Financial Investments. Do you have any questions" Shu Tinglan spoke confidently. Lu Kuo introduced those companies, and all of them were invested in by Whale Hearing. As soon as Lu Kuo spoke up, those companies would naturally cooperate with her. She wanted to learn more about the customer information to avoid embarrassing Lu Kuo.

What she does has nothing to do with Li Anna. To avoid internal competition, she gave the more advantageous Zhuoyuan Technology to her, and even went home without mentioning any business matters to Zhuo Yu'an. She was generous enough.

Li Anna saw her snatching customers from others and acting so righteous and shameless. She was so angry that she almost flew into a rage, but her professionalism kept her temper in check. Instead, she smiled and asked...

"Mr. Shu, I knew Mr. Lu from Whale Finance before you. He came to the law firm today because we made an appointment. What do you mean by interfering If you continue like this, we can talk to Lawyer Lan about it."

Shu Tinglan finally understood what was going on.

"Lu Kuo came to see you today" she asked back. No wonder he suddenly wanted to invite her to dinner at the law firm, it turned out he was here to see Lawyer Li Anna.

What in the world is going on To be misunderstood for no reason at all.

Shuting Lan was about to explain that she and Lu Kuo were longtime friends, and it was normal for her to meet him when he came to the law firm.

Li Anna didn't listen to her at all and spoke to her very sternly.

“Mr. Shu, I understand that you're new here and want to establish yourself at the firm. Then rely on your abilities and expertise to compete fairly and squarely, rather than resorting to underhanded tactics. These shortcuts won't lead to long-term success. This is my advice as a senior colleague in this industry.”

Li Anna stood on the moral high ground, after comprehensively suppressing Shu Tinglan, she left in a huff, her heels clicking against the floor. As she walked out, she sent a voice message to Lu Kuo.

"Mr. Lu, good afternoon. I'm Lawyer Li Anna. I apologize for the inconvenience, I am currently not at the firm. Are you available now I will come visit you right away."

Shu Tinglan felt a surge of anger rising in her chest, but she couldn't spit it out. When had she become someone who resorted to underhanded tactics And Lu Kuo, he should have at least let her know he was coming to see Li Anna! Now she was stuck in this awkward situation.

The lawyers in the same group who hadn't gone out heard their conversation. They looked at her with expressions that were hard to describe, then turned back to their respective desks.

Shu Tinglan's explanation is hard to defend against a hundred mouths. Could she possibly stand in the office and shout that she and Lu Kuo have been friends and classmates for years to clear her name It would be too childish, wouldn't it

Lu Kuo, you go die for me, without ten customers coming to repay the debt, we're done from now on.

Because she had been scolded by Li Anna and was still upset with Lu Kuo, when she got home from work in the evening, she forgot that she was still in a cold war with Zhuo Yu'an. Especially seeing that he had prepared a sumptuous dinner for her, all the grievances she suffered outside instantly dissipated, and she even took the initiative to hug him, hugging Zhuo Yu'an's waist and burying her face in his chest. Only when she was enveloped by his familiar scent could she ease her anxiety.

Zuo Yu'an was taken aback by her sudden gentleness, yes, it was shock, there wasn't a bit of surprise. After all, these past few days she had treated him like a stranger, not replying to his messages, not answering his calls. Suddenly throwing herself into his arms... there was bound to be no good intentions behind it.

Besides, Zhuo Yuan was feeling very guilty today. If Tinglan knew that he had helped his competitor, Li Anna, get the contract from Wang, he wouldn't know how to explain it.

But with the soft jade in his arms, he was reluctant to let go. He reached out with trembling hands, gently encircling her without a word, just lightly stroking her back as if comforting her.

She waited less than two minutes, and sure enough, she suddenly pushed him away angrily, glaring at him with fury.

He felt a surge of anxiety again, wondering if he had been exposed.

He confessed everything, saying it was all Zhang's lawyer's fault. He made such a blunder, and he was very angry about it. To compensate her, he would introduce her to more big clients. Anyway, he wasn't short of connections; it was just a matter of him saying the word.

Just as he was about to speak, Shu Tinglan turned and poured himself a glass of water. After finishing it, he spoke seriously.

“In the future, you should have less contact with Lu Kuò. He could have hooked up with anyone else, but he had to hook up with Li, the lawyer on my team.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!t surprisingly smoothly. After the other party left, Yi Muyang gave her a thumbs-up."Mr. Shu is really amazing. Actually, my target price was 1.2 million, but I didn't expect Mr. Shu to actually hel...
