Chapter 31: Staying Over Again

the Miss Lu's temperament, she wouldn't be like this.”"Oh, you don't know, he's been with Miss Lu ever since and I haven't slept well for several nights."The two of them standing together just don't...Shu Tinglan, who was diligently taking notes, was suddenly called upon. Her mind went blank for a moment. She thought to herself, how could Director Xiao and Zhou Ming know that she had lunch with someone else

Has Mr. Zhu or Lawyer Zhang revealed any information

Shu Tinglan shook her head. All afternoon, she had only heard Lin Zhichao gossiping about her embarrassing moments, without talking about anything serious.

Director Xiao shook his head in disappointment.

Attorney Chen, who is handling the asset restructuring, said

"Director Xiao, for the interpersonal relationship troubleshooting work, Jiajia should be in charge. Tinglan is too obedient; she wouldn't dare to do anything others don't want her to do. In front of Director Zhuo, she probably wouldn't be able to speak up properly."

Lawyer Chen's words hit the nail on the head. Director Xiao looked at Jiajia again. In dealing with interpersonal relationships, Jiajia was naturally far superior to Shu Tinglan, but Jiajia was a bit impetuous. It was fine for small projects, but for large projects like Zhuoyuan, it might backfire and cause disapproval from Zhuo Yu'an.

Jiajia had long wanted to participate in this Zhuoyuan Technology project. When she heard her name mentioned, she immediately perked up and volunteered:

"Director Xiao, I'm fine. I will be extra careful and won't let everyone down."

After the last food project, Shu Tinglan had no good feelings for Jiajia and was always on guard against her. To be honest, she didn't want to work with her. If Jiajia also joined the Zhuyuan project, she didn't know how much work she would have to do to clean up or remedy her mistakes in the future.

Director Xiao looked back and forth between Jiajia and Shutinglan, pondered for a moment before speaking.

"From now on, external liaison and related work will be handled by JiaJia. ShuTingLan will be responsible for reports, contract reviews, and drafting documents. I hope you will cooperate well with each other."

Director Xiao's arrangement is very reasonable. Many external liaison tasks are inconvenient for her to handle personally, so she definitely needs to find an assistant like Jiajia who excels at this. Although Shu Tinglan knows the arrangement is reasonable, she can't help but feel downcast and begins to doubt her work ability. She is not good at socializing and even has a slight fear of social interaction. Is she really suitable for this line of work

When she first graduated, she chose to work in a company as a legal practitioner because she knew her social skills were lacking. After three years of legal work, she realized that communicating with various departments within the company also required strong communication skills. She gradually improved from stumbling and fumbling at the beginning until she finally gained the courage to jump into a law firm.

However, just one project exposed her true colors.

This self-doubt and feeling of dejection persisted until I got home from work. Seeing Zhuo Yu'an at the doorstep, I couldn't help but blame him, the root cause of all this.

"What did you want to talk about this morning" Zhuo Yu'an was referring to the private matter she had mentioned in WeChat earlier that morning.

"It's fine." She had originally wanted to apologize for last night's attitude, but now she didn't think it was necessary.

"Feeling down" Zhuo YUAN asked.

Shu Tinglan didn't answer, and directly took the key to open the door.

Zuo Yu'an grasped her hand holding the keys, forcing her to turn and face him, continuing to ask...

"Because I made Lawyer Zhang come to pick up your information and he got angry"

Shu Tinglan wasn't originally angry with him, but since he brought it up, she became truly furious.

"No, Mr. Zhuo is a high-ranking client, and it's your prerogative to treat us insignificant contractors as you see fit. I wouldn't dare trouble you with my materials personally."

"I didn't receive your information, and I got criticized by Director Xiao, right" he asked.

Zuo Yu'an sighed and pulled the person into his arms.

"Zuo Yuan Technology will ultimately choose which law firm to cooperate with based on a comprehensive assessment. It's not that I don't want to give you an answer, but I also don't have one yet. Your expertise and past experience, Ms. Xiao, are undoubtedly suitable, but there are many other law firms that are equally capable. Do you understand what I mean"

Hmph, old fox. Shu Tinglan didn't believe his words at all. After coming into contact with so many law firms, she didn't believe he wouldn't have any biases in his heart He just wasn't willing to reveal his true thoughts to her.

But given their relationship, he didn't really need to tell her the truth. To him, she was just a girl who could satisfy his physical needs.

Then why did she allow him to drop by her house uninvited every time The reason seemed to be the same.

Both of them were only meeting each other's needs, so he had no reason to tell her the truth, and she had no reason to vent her emotions and dissatisfaction.

She has always been rational. After sorting out the true relationship between them, she no longer dwelled on it, instead choosing to indulge and enjoy herself.

Seeing her emotions gradually calm down, Zhuo Yu'an rubbed her hair and then turned to the kitchen to prepare dinner. He was making golden fried rice for the main dish, soft and fragrant; for the main course, there were honey-glazed crispy prawns, meat floss eggplant casserole, seasonal vegetables; and for dessert, strawberry orange pudding. In short, it was all set on the table soon after, comparable to a hotel chef's work.

Shu Tinglan had finished her shower and sat at the dining table, eating slowly and contentedly. She couldn't help but think that it wouldn't be bad to maintain this kind of relationship for a long time. From any angle, she was the one who benefited.

After finishing their meal, Zhuo Yu'an continued to wash the dishes and clean up, then went to take a shower. When he came out, Shu Tinglan was, as last time, still curled up on the sofa watching TV programs.

He pulled her into his arms to watch together, but after last time's unpleasant experience, neither of them discussed the program this time. They just snuggled up and watched quietly together.

It is unknown who started it, but a legal program was playing on the television, and the living room sofa was a different scene altogether. The noisy program sound was occasionally interspersed with sounds that made people blush.

Both of them were very satisfied. The harmony and compatibility in this aspect surprised her, because she had asked Lin Zhifan or seen comments from Lin Zhifan's fans, knowing that the other party wasn't always able to reach the peak, but she was able to do so every time.

Zhuo Yu'an stayed at her home again. Deep in the night, Shu Tinglan had forgotten how many times Zhuo Yu'an had asked. She was just half asleep and cooperating dully as he raged, and she, too, was mad.

The result of going crazy was that she almost overslept the next morning. Zhuo Yuyan insisted on sending her to the law firm, so she didn't refuse because her whole body ached and her legs felt weak. She didn't want to move.

On the way, Zhuo Yu'an parked the car on the side of the road and ran all the way to the convenience store to buy milk and bread for her.

"Sorry, I overslept this morning and didn't make breakfast."

"Thank you."

Shū Tīnglàn was afraid of being seen by her colleagues, so she asked Zhuó Yǔ'ān to let her off at a crosswalk. However, Zhuó Yǔ'ān insisted on taking her to the underground parking lot and said in a considerate manner: >>>

"I don't usually drive this car."

The implication is that no one could recognize his car, so she should feel safe.

As Shu Tinglan rode the elevator to the law firm, he suddenly remembered her words and found it amusing. How did they sound like they were having an affair Well, in a way, they kind of were.

As Jiajia arrived at the law firm, she was just about to leave with her bag. She had sprayed a very fresh and pleasant perfume, her hair was specially styled, and her makeup was impeccable and delicate. There was no need to guess; she must be going to Zuo Yuan Technology.o stress about it either.When the father and daughter arrived home, their mother Zhang He had already finished work and prepared a meal for them. The three of them were very happy together.The next da...
