Chapter 4: The Client's Father

and gentlemanly demeanor, he hid a heart of utter coldness.IndifferentIt's just not being overly sentimental.After chatting for a while at Zhang Cheng's company and finalizing the cooperation items di...At Senzhou International Airport, Zhuo Yu'an skillfully parked his car. With one hand holding a suitcase and the other arm draped with a suit jacket, he strode toward the security checkpoint, exuding an aura of excellence and sophistication that drew envious glances from passersby.

He was already accustomed to being the center of attention wherever he went. Deep in conversation on his phone, it was Wang Yan, the director of the company's technical department, calling.

"Our originally planned weekend release of the concept product was stolen. They beat us to the punch and released our concept product tonight."

"What do you think of the new company"

"Yeah, the concept product they released tonight, besides the different look, all the other functions and core competitiveness are the same as ours. I wonder who leaked it to them."

"Well, I'm going abroad to discuss the concept product with Ane. You can keep an eye on things here and if necessary, send a lawyer's letter."

"Okay, where are you going tonight I called a few times but no one answered."

"High school reunion," Zhu Yu'an said calmly.

...but Wang Yan was taken aback, more shocked and incredulous than if he had heard that his own company's products had been stolen by a competitor,...

"You're going to the high school reunion You A high school reunion And getting so lost in it that you don't even answer your phone"

A series of questions, only to be met with a single-word response from Zhu Yu'an.

"Hmm."

Shu Tinglan hadn't slept all night, so she took the subway to work early. As usual, she wore a black business suit and red high heels. Black and red had become her trademark. According to Lin Zhifan's words, few people could wear such a conventional business suit so seductively, it was a living uniform temptation. Shu Tinglan had long been used to his teasing and didn't take it to heart.

Today is Monday, a routine meeting. Her immediate supervisor, also the managing partner of the firm's mergers and acquisitions department, Mr. Xiao, is discussing project progress with the lawyers below.

As an associate attorney, Shu Tinglan is the Swiss Army knife of the project team, going wherever needed. She doesn't have a supervising lawyer or assigned projects, so she takes minutes at the weekly meetings.

"Okay, next, let's discuss the latest projects. According to industry news, Zhuoyuan Technology plans to acquire Shengpuer Intelligent Technology Company..."

Director Xiao said as she opened hers.

Shu Tinglan instantly saw Shang Zhuo's profile, and she thought it was a hallucination. Her brain felt like it had been bombed, chaotic and disarrayed. She thought that after last night, the two of them would have no intersection, after all, with millions of people in Senzhou City, the chance of meeting again was one in a million, very difficult.

All the lawyers in the conference room were listening intently. As soon as "Zuo Yuan Technology" was mentioned, they knew it was a big deal with an enormous sum of money involved. Shu Tinglan also quickly adjusted from her shock and listened attentively.

Shu Tinglan's workplace, Hongzheng Law Firm, is a well-known top-tier firm in China. Its recruitment requirements are always stringent, demanding graduates from domestic top four law schools or renowned overseas institutions. Moreover, most hires begin at the master's level. Shu Tinglan was an exception. She graduated from Senzhou University, which is a first-class university, but its law school wasn't its strongest program. Furthermore, due to financial constraints after graduation, she didn't pursue postgraduate studies and went straight into work. As a result, within Hongzheng Law Firm, she lacked both academic and networking advantages. After six months, she remained an inconspicuous figure.

Before this, although Shu Tinglan had no experience in law firms, she had worked as an in-house lawyer for three years at a company. When the company was acquired, she handled all the legal procedures step by step. The company she worked for only had 300 employees. It was called a Legal Department, but in reality, there was only her and one part-time lawyer consultant who came once a month, which was essentially like not having one at all. Therefore, she felt that her experience was enough to stand on her own.her. 。Ruthless is truly ruthless.Far away in the monitoring room of Senzhou, Gu Ruandong and Zhuo YUAN also noticed Song Jingye's abnormality. 。Zhuo Yu enlarged the two people in the monitor.
