Chapter 160: The Best Married Life
him solve the case for the concept product."I'm not sure. Director Xiao called me before boarding, originally President Zhuo was on the same flight back as her, but President Zhuo changed his ticket...Shu Tinglan's car was towed away by the insurance company for repairs, and it would take about half a month. She had to accept Zhuo YUANAN's proposal to pick her up and drop her off every day. Before she didn't drive, she thought taking the subway to work every day was fine, but now that she was used to driving, she didn't want to endure the crowds on the subway anymore. Besides, after the incident of a train derailment last time, both she and Zhuo YUANAN developed a fear of the subway.
On her way to work the next day, she couldn't help but feel sentimental.
"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury back to frugality. I'll have to trouble you for the next half month."
Zuo Yu'an smiled and said, "I would love for you to trouble me every day. A husband sending his wife to and from work is just the natural order of things."
"Husband," Shu Tinglan called him seriously. The two rarely addressed each other as "husband and wife." Each time, they used each other's full names.
Zhuo Yunan was very pleased. He slightly turned his head to look at her in the passenger seat and smiled, reaching out a hand to hold hers. The girl had been behaving remarkably well lately. She was obedient, gentle, considerate, and began treating him as her closest person. She told him about everything, big or small, and even sought his advice when facing work problems. In short, she had learned to rely on him and trust him.
He could think of no better marriage life than this, loving and relying on each other, with a peaceful and tranquil life.
She arrived at the law firm's office building without letting him drop her off earlier. Instead, he drove straight to the law firm's entrance and stopped the car. He got out of the car and said to her.
“Come back home early after work. I have something to show you.”
"What is it"
"Let's talk when I get home tonight."
"Oh, that's mysterious. He must be planning a surprise for her. But I wonder, what kind of surprise could he possibly give her She doesn't need much, and he's already given her plenty."
"Come on, I'll watch you go in."
"Good." Shu Tinglan walked towards the law firm's office building, taking three steps and looking back once. She was truly reluctant to leave, missing him already after just parting ways.
Only after she could no longer see him did she adjust her mood and enter the workplace.
Director Xiao was back from a business trip, and Zhou Ming also finished his project and returned to the institute. Shu Tinglan went to Director Xiao's office to say hello. As soon as she entered, the two of them looked her up and down.
"Mr. Zhu sent this to you." Xiao Director.
"Have you been living together" Zhou Ming.
Shutinglan nodded in agreement.
Zhou Ming heard this and said unhappily, "Fine, I admit defeat. Next time we meet, should CEO Zhu also call me brother"
This person is still very realistic. They like what they like, but if it's a hopeless love, they won't waste time pursuing it.
"Good." Shu Tinglan smiled, not daring to imagine that scene.
Director Xiao looked at Shu Tinglan before him, she was like a completely different person compared to the timid girl who had come to the law firm for an interview. Not only had she made great progress in her work, but her entire being radiated confidence from within. She was already very beautiful, and now that she was more confident and smiled more often, she was like a stunningly vibrant red rose in full bloom.
Director Xiao couldn't help but smile.
"Very good, you two are a perfect match."
When she was younger, Director Xiao also yearned to get married, but unfortunately, she was too busy with work and her own progress was too rapid. It was difficult for male peers of the same age to catch up with her. As time went on, all the heterosexuals around her got married and had children, so she ended up where she is now, and she didn't care much about marriage anymore.
She has a peaceful mind. She is happy to bless her female colleagues, whether they get married or have children, and she always gives them big red envelopes. So she sincerely wishes Shu Tinglan well, even though she doesn't think highly of this couple in her heart. The difference in their status and position is too great.
Shu Tinglan came out of Director Xiao's office and received a call from Mr. Xiao of Tingjing Finance, asking her to go over there for a meeting. There had been new developments in the negotiations with Huahua la. She hurriedly grabbed her materials and prepared to take a taxi. Zhou Ming saw ...
"I'll give it to you."
This project, Zhou Ming has always been giving guidance behind the scenes and is very familiar with it. Today, he happened to have some free time, so he drove her there.
After all, she was a girl he once loved. Now, he sees her like a younger sister. Even though his advice might be unwelcome, he feels it's important to remind her.
He said that in the car.
“Tinglan, let me give you a heads-up. You should know about President Zhu's family background. I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but for us ordinary people, it might be difficult to adapt. No matter what era it is, they always emphasize finding a suitable match. Just talk to him if you want, don't take it too seriously. Don't get yourself involved too deeply, or you'll end up crying later. Remember, I won't lend you my shoulder then, you understand”
"I understand," she replied cheerfully.
“You're so stubborn. You pretend not to understand even when you do, a classic case of not crying until you see the coffin.”
After a long silence, Shu Tinglan spoke.
I just believe him.
"Naive!" he said noncommittally.
As they were talking, they arrived at the Listening Whale Finance. Xiao, seeing them, said:
“After discussion, we can accept that Yuan Binghuan's contract will only last for two more years. At the same time, regarding the trainees of Huahua La Entertainment, we will not accept any of them. Huahua La Entertainment has agreed to this proposal. Specific details still need to be communicated and resolved by lawyer Shu with Huahua La Entertainment.”
...meaning assisting Huahua La Entertainment in negotiating contract terminations with the trainees because, according to Whale Finance's evaluation system, they are considered low-quality assets and not worth retaining. It's a waste of energy to continue cultivating them. ...
Negotiating a termination of this sort is naturally left to the lawyers representing the cooperating party, it's within their scope of work.
Mr. Xiao continued to say:
“Of course, since we are missing the trainee part and Yuan Binghuan only has a two-year contract left, the acquisition price will need to be discussed further by Shu Lawyer with Huahua.”
"Okay, I will communicate with finance and the appraisal agency." Regarding the specific acquisition price, she said she couldn't disclose it. She would definitely have to follow the results given by the appraisal agency and financial personnel before giving a suggested price.
"Okay, then please have Ms. Shu contact me as soon as possible."
Zhou Ming accompanied her on the trip and found that Shu Tinglan was completely capable of standing on her own, leaving no room for him to perform. He felt very pleased about this and thought that he hadn't misjudged her in this regard.
After the meeting with Mr. Xiao, the two were about to leave Tingjing Finance when they encountered Little Princess Lu Yaoyao. Upon seeing Shu Tinglan, Lu Yaoyao's face changed a little, then she waved vigorously at her and mouthed for her to leave quickly.
Shu Tinglan was puzzled. He thought, what kind of trouble is this little princess causing again
Lu Yaoyao saw that she wasn't leaving, and she hurriedly turned around to run, acting as if she didn't know Shu Tinglan at all.
At that moment, a lady walked out from the adjacent living room. She was wearing a well-tailored knee-length skirt, mid-heel shoes, and her hair was neatly styled in an updo. Even from just the back view, she exuded elegance.
"Yayay, where are you going"
The voice carried an inherent sense of authority.
Lu Yaoyao heard the sound behind her, and she turned around like a wooden puppet held by a string, stiffly looking at the lady with an elegant demeanor.
“Teacher Cheng, I'm going to the restroom.”
Shu Tinglan and Zhou Ming stood behind the woman, and they could also see Lu Yaoyao's panicked expression."I believe in your judgment." Shu Tinglan said.Cheng Chen smiled and said, "That's very good." Then he fell silent.
