Chapter 389: A Name That Does Not Justify Its Deeds
em. 。Hit squarely, Shu Tinglan felt shame wash over him, mortified to his core. He desperately wanted to hide under the covers, but he dared not move, so he could only stiffen himself half-reclining i...After she finished speaking, the elevator door opened just as they arrived at Lanshan Law Firm. Lan Xiaoshan stepped out first and turned back to remind her: "Take your time with work, don't overwork yourself." 。"Just a polite expression of concern from the boss to their subordinate." 。Guo Ran, as the HR manager, is also very responsible in her work. She silently accompanies the front desk girl every morning to observe the employees' arrival time and mental state in each department. This time, she saw the two of them come out of the elevator one after the other, both looking sleep-deprived. Coupled with Lawyer Lan's concerned words, their relationship needs no further explanation
"Good morning, Lawyer Lan, good morning, Lawyer Shu" 。She greeted with a smile. 。Lan Xiaoshan nodded and walked straight to the upstairs office. Shu Tinglan didn't have a good impression of Guo Ran, but she maintained a superficial harmony, so she also greeted with a light smile: "Good morning, Manager Guo." 。
Guo Ran was very disdainful. She worked diligently, and except for the partners brought in by Lan Xiaoshan, all the other employees in the firm were carefully selected by her. 。This Shu Tinglan was eliminated in the first round of interviews, but then, Lan Xiaoshan brought her in. She felt a surge of resentment inside. 。
She thought of Lan Xiaoshan, who was usually gentle and elegant, a model gentleman. He had once been the object of her secret admiration. She thought of him as a pine tree on a mountaintop, independent and aloof, observing the worldly affairs of men and women with cold eyes, never staining himself. He was a valiant warrior in court, eloquently overpowering his opponents; he was also a charismatic guide lecturing at the law school. She knew he had a stable girlfriend, a Ph.D. from a prestigious university, an actuary at Whale Finance, earning a good income. She felt inadequate compared to her and the fantasies she had when she first started working were quickly stifled. 。It turned out that he was also worldly. In the face of beauty, all his principles were thrown away. The other person was only a college graduate, had an unstable job, was divorced, and had children. 。A person who is only beautiful, but has nothing else going for them, dared to disregard others' opinions and enter and leave the law firm in a loving couple. 。
Guo Ran's hand gradually clenched, her heart was unwilling, her emotions flared up, and she was startled herself. She quickly restored her smile and greeted the colleagues who came to work and clock in from time to time, maintaining her image. 。Shū Tínglan only felt a sharp gaze burning into her back, as if it wanted to dissect her a thousand times. She suddenly turned around, but saw nothing. Only Guo Ran and the front desk girl were discussing the list of candidates for today's interviews. 。Shaking my head, thinking it was probably just a hallucination from not sleeping well last night. 。
The atmosphere in the office was also very strange. Ever since yesterday, when Li Anna publicly accused her of using underhanded tactics to steal her clients, the lawyers in the same group now ignored her completely. They treated her just like Li Anna did, as if she were invisible, fearing that she would also steal their clients. 。
Along with Xiaoxin, even Xiao Xin was treated unfairly and isolated by lawyers of the same level as her. 。She didn't mind being isolated, as she told Xiaoxin, she came to work not to build relationships with her colleagues or please anyone. It was nice if they got along, but it didn't matter if they didn't. 。But seeing Xiaoxin isolated, so pitifully alone, even going to Finance to submit reimbursement materials was trembling. She brought people from the city over, and there came a responsibility with that. 。So put down your pride, and go find Li Anna.
"Li Lawyer, do you have time Let's chat" 。"If there's a misunderstanding about Lu Kuo, it would be best to clear it up. Even if there's competition, we can still coexist fairly." 。Li Anna looked up at her and leaned back in her chair. "There's not much to talk about between us, is there" 。"I wouldn't bother talking to her. She's nothing but a new lawyer who can't deliver on performance or connections. All she has is a reputation for using her looks to get ahead, and rumors about an affair with Lanshan." 。。So there's nothing to talk about. 。"Mr. Li, about yesterday's incident, I think there might be a misunderstanding between us. I knew Lu Kuo from Listening Whale Finance before, and I didn't know he was coming to see you yesterday." 。She didn't mention Lu Kuò, but as soon as she did, Li Anna became even angrier. She had wanted to make plans with him last night, but he said sorry, he was too busy and didn't mention anything about his visit to the law firm during the day. It must be because Shu Tinglan interfered. 。But she's not a pushover either. Blue Xiao Shan saw the whole process of her meeting Lu Kuo at Zhuo Yuan Technology's annual meeting, so just now, she sent Blue Xiao Shan an email detailing the whole story of how Lu Kuo came to her law firm and was intercepted by Shu Tinglan, as evidence. 。If Shu Tinglan were to collaborate with Lu Kuo in the future, it would mean she had lost clients to him. Let Lan Xiaoshan be aware of this as well. 。She was fearless and continued to look at Shu Tinglan with cold eyes, saying coldly:
"Lawyer Shu, how much is your one-hour consultation fee"
Shu Tinglan didn't react immediately to her meaning. 。She continued, "My hourly rate is double yours, and you've wasted 2 minutes and 40 seconds of my time." 。She glanced at her watch and replied slowly. 。A few muffled chuckles came from beside me. Not very hurtful, but extremely insulting. 。"Okay, I understand." 。Shu Tinglan calmly turned around and returned to her seat. 。It's not like she wasn't angry. She had worked for several years and had never been targeted like this before. Even when she worked under Director Xiao at Hongzheng Law Firm, her colleagues were quite kind to her. Not to mention when she worked with Lawyer Sun, she said he was the final word. 。She didn't shy away, and directly called Lu Kuo in the office, asking him to come to their law firm immediately. After all, the matter started because of him, and it was his own fault for being used as a tool by her. 。Lu Kuo answered her phone in a rush,
"I know, I know, I'm coming right away." 。Your family name is Zhuo. You ordered me to come here this morning early and apologize for my mistakes. 。I've really gone too far, I asked you to have a meal and now you're giving me trouble. 。"Hehehe!" Shu Tinglan sneered disdainfully. He still had the nerve to say that. If he hadn't been so reckless, flirting around and attracting bees and butterflies everywhere, how could he have given Li Anna hallucinations and taken his anger out on her 。Lu Kuo knows this couple, he's really had bad luck for eight lifetimes. 。Zuo Yu'an called early in the morning to demand justice, insisting he go to the law firm to help his little wife win back her reputation. He was rudely awakened from his sleep and became angry:
"Show some sympathy for a single dog who can only fall asleep in the morning because he lacks sex life. Can I go this afternoon"
"You deserve it! No, now, immediately, get up!" 。Lu Kuo was so angry he wanted to die. His face was clouded with frustration, and he resignedly got out of bed, continuing, “If you want to support Tinglan, why don't you just go on stage yourself” 。"
Zhuo Yu'an fell silent, saying with a hint of disappointment: "She wouldn't let "> 。"The person is very ambitious and wants to prove themselves through hard work." 。Lu Kuo's mood instantly improved, gloating: "That makes sense. She hasn't officially cleared your name yet, so what are you going to do about it Wrong name, wrong words." 。I'm better than her, at least I'm her class monitor. 。This is a line break. It’s another line break!mething, inviting this big shot to the wrap party of all things.Actually, he just sent out an invitation out of politeness. He thought that Mr. Gu, a busy person, might not remember that he had invest...
