Chapter 660: Desk
t today, in our old shared home, the pain feels particularly intense. He greedily inhaled the air, missing her terribly.But he wouldn't go to her, nor could he. He only hoped that she would take great..."Love more."
Ting Lan thought that Zhu Yu An's words about going for a walk were just casual talk and didn't take them seriously.
But Zhuo Yu'an was very serious. After the children went to sleep that night, he called her to his study to talk.
"Is there anything we can't talk about in the bedroom" Listening to the sounds, Lan was getting a little sleepy.
“We can’t talk properly in the bedroom,” he said with a knowing look, then opened his computer for Tinglan to see.
"What's up" Seeing him so serious, Tinglan also perked up and sat beside him.
"List the consulting companies and cases you are currently responsible for, and I will help you analyze how to schedule them."
The person is very proactive and I need to provide her with a plan to solve her current problem before she can focus on going on a trip with me.
He said he would take her out, of course, he would arrange everything for her beforehand, not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Tinglan said with a mix of anger and amusement, "I'm already exhausted from work during the day. Do I have to discuss it with you even when I get home at night Please give me a break."
She not only has to deal with clients' issues, but she also hired three associate lawyers this year who she needs to supervise.
"Just list it out for me, I'll help you figure out solutions later."
"Are you serious"
"Of course."
"We're going on a trip, what about the kids Shall we take them along No need to go to school"
Zuo Yu'an looked at her, suddenly feeling a pang of sympathy. She seemed burdened by too much, her mind preoccupied with work and children, never considering herself. She was responsible for every role she played, except for the one most important: herself.
"Tinglan, leave everything to me, okay Just follow me."
He hugged her close.
"Don't make me feel too incompetent," he whispered.
"Okay." Tinglan agreed, returned a hug, then pulled out her work computer from beside her and brought up the relevant files.
"These are under confidentiality agreements, so I can't tell you everything. But I can prioritize them. I'll try to resolve the urgent ones this month and push the less urgent ones until after my trip. Also, Xiaoxin is capable of handling things independently now, so delegating some work to her should be fine."
Tinglan needs Zhuyu'an to help her come up with solutions for these clients. These customers are like weeds growing in her head every day. Taking stock, she's been working hard this month, but it's not impossible to make time.
Her focus and seriousness when talking about work mesmerized Zhu Yu'an. No matter how he looked at her, he thought she was great. She was the kind of person who excelled in every aspect that he liked.
"What are you looking at me for" Tinglan reviewed the client's information on her computer and only when she closed it did she notice that Zhuo Yunan was staring intently at her.
Zuo Yu'an didn't speak, but he once again held her in his arms and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
They are so compatible in this aspect that it feels like they're still in the honeymoon phase. Even just in the study, right here on this chair, they can find satisfaction with each other.
Now influenced by Zhuo Yu'an, Tinglan has completely lost her shyness and restraint. As long as the children are asleep, she will cooperate with him no matter what.
Since she agreed to go on a trip with him, Tinglan started making preparations. First, she went to the law firm to tell Lan Xiaoshan that she would need to take a month off. Although Lan Xiaoshan was a little surprised, he readily agreed. After all, since she had started working there, she had never taken a day off and always worked diligently.
Then, without stopping, he followed the group.
A colleague held a meeting and assigned related work. She took a look at the clients in her hands, fortunately they were all consultation cases, and there was no need for court hearings recently.
As for the timing of the consultation case, she has the freedom to decide.
When it was time to adjourn, she kept Xiaoxin behind and handed her some of the less urgent tasks on her plate.
"Mr. Shu, when are you and Mr. Zhuo going"
"Let's do it in a few days. Let me arrange my work first."
"Don't worry, Lawyer Shu. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Xiao Xin is now capable of standing on her own two feet and could easily cover for Lawyer Shu for a month. She's incredibly grateful to him. Coming to unfamiliar Mori Zhou, it was Lawyer Shu who guided her step by step and helped her establish herself at Lanshan Law Firm. She's particularly happy that she can do something for him in return.
"Oh, by the way, Ms. Shu, I rented an apartment near the law firm. I should be able to move in a few days."
Tinglan frowned: "What's wrong Can't I live in that house"
"No, no, it's me who's embarrassed to have been living in your house for so long." Xiaoxin waved her hands hurriedly. She had lived in Lawyer Shu's house near the suburbs for two years since coming to Kamoshida. She felt very embarrassed because now she could take on cases independently and her salary had increased. It was embarrassing to keep living there.
"Xiaoxin, I brought you to Senzhou, so I have the responsibility to take care of you. The house is empty anyway, and it's nice to have someone living there. Besides, Yueyue also comes to stay occasionally. With you here, I don't have to go over specially to tidy up for him."
As soon as it's mentioned that Sun Yueyue is moving in, Xiao Xin wants to move even more.
Tinglan completely forgot that Sun Yueyue was no longer a high school student, but a blossoming college student. He still treated her like a child and...
It's perfectly fine for Xiaoxin to live under the same roof.
Xiaoxin has already rented a new apartment and is just thinking about when to find an opportunity to move.
Since it's summer vacation, Sun Yueyue went back to the city, so she didn't have to be alone with him after work and could stay for another summer before moving.
I got off work a little later tonight because I was sorting through the materials that Lawyer Shu gave me. The distance from the subway exit to my apartment complex is about a kilometer. Because it's summer, even this late at night, there are still quite a few people eating supper by street stalls.
The lively scene prevented Xiao Xin from noticing anything amiss until she was about to enter the residential complex from a street corner. That's when she suddenly realized that two men had been following her at a leisurely pace.
She walked quickly, and the two men behind her quickened their pace.
She walked slowly, and the two men behind her also walked slowly.
He was always with her, but never too close.
Until she reached the entrance of her apartment complex, with security guards standing by, did she dare to turn back and look.
The two men stood across the street from the apartment complex entrance on the road, making a gesture of slitting their throats at her. Xiaoxin was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
They are.
Last month, she just took on an economic dispute case for a construction engineering subcontract.
The client is a real estate company, and she is representing the company to negotiate payment issues with the construction contractor.
In a subcontract project, the client and the contractor agreed on a construction period of 6 months to complete the handover. However, the contractor finally completed the handover after 10 months. The client is only willing to pay for the 6 months' labor cost as stipulated in the contract and demands that the contractor compensate for the overtime fees.
while the contractor felt that the construction period was 10 months, and at the time when construction reached 6 months, it had clearly informed the real estate company that the construction period needed to be extended.
By the time we reached 10 months, the customer had also agreed. How could they suddenly refuse to pay, to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, with an hour-long episode each day focusing on healthy eating during the Chinese New Year celebration.This afternoon, Mom finally came home with a radiant glo...
