exhausted. She had gotten up early to dress and bathe the two little "emperors," as they were known in the family. People who hadn't raised children wouldn't understand, even something as simple as...Shu Tinglan is currently working smoothly at Blue Mountain Law Firm. Although Lanshaoshan hasn't determined the position of the partner yet, she maintains a relaxed and natural attitude towards this position.

As for the performance, I'm taking a steady and measured approach this time, unlike before when I was too hasty. So, when screening clients for collaboration, I'm being very cautious. While Gu Ruandong's project is undoubtedly attractive, considering Gu's company and his collaboration with Zhuo Yu'an, she feels it's best to seek Zhuo Yu'an's opinion first.

So I didn't agree right away, instead saying, "Mr. Gu, I need to think about it before I give you an answer. Can I take the materials and look at them first"

Gu Ruandong nodded. "Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Although he said nothing, his expression was certain she would take the case, full of confidence. His secretary, Xiao Cai, organized the materials into a booklet and placed it before her.

Gu Ruandong walked to the door of the conference room and suddenly turned back to say, "Lawyer Shu, I hope you can give me a reply as soon as possible. The Gu family welcomes you at any time."

Shu Tinglan came out to see him off and even enthusiastically pressed the elevator button for him. Just as the elevator was about to arrive, she said

"Mr. Gu, if you have time, I'd like to discuss Ruan Ruan's case with you at Gu's company first."

Because Gu Ruanruan was unwilling to sue, the matter just dragged on like this. She didn't give up and kept looking for opportunities.

As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator arrived. Gu Ruandong and his secretary, Xiao Cai, walked into the elevator. They just glanced at her outside the elevator, pulled their lips into a smile, but still didn't say another word. Several times, whenever the topic turned to Gu Ruanruan's property distribution, he had this attitude, without making any statement.

Shu Tinglan watched the elevator doors close, then turned and walked back to the law firm. The front desk girl and two administrative staff saw her come in and whispered...

“No wonder I felt familiar, wasn't this client the man who sent Lu Yaoyao home before, the one that went viral online”

Shu Tinglan, in some aspects, is still quite oblivious. Plus, she doesn't pay much attention to entertainment news. She knew about the commotion caused by Lu YaoYao and Yuan Binhao last time, and knew it was because Lu YaoYao brought a stranger home, but she never looked at the photo.

Shu Tinglan didn't answer their questions. Though she got along well with them now, she never talked about these trivial gossips. So she went upstairs to her office.

Not talking to the front desk and administration doesn't mean she wasn't curious. After all, Lu Yaoyao and Gu Ruandong are both people she knows, and as far as she knew, they shouldn't have any interactions.

Since those photos were no longer available online, she asked the tech-savvy onlooker Xiao Xin beside her if he had them. Xiao Xin proudly replied, "Of course I do."

Then quickly find those three photos on his phone and send them to her.

Shu Tinglan received the photo and casually said, "How come you still have people's photos Delete them from your phone after you've seen them."

With conviction, Xiaoxin wore a look of bewilderment.

“Mr. Shu, can I say that you’re eating meat and then cursing the bowl” Xiaoxin is very outspoken in front of Mr. Shu now.

"That's an inappropriate word choice. This is called destroying the bridge after crossing it," she replied frankly, leaving Xiaoxin speechless.

After Shu Tinglan finished speaking, he turned back to his desk and began looking at the three photos. The man in the pictures, who else could it be but Gu Ruandong

She casually sent the photo to Zhuo Yunan and added, "He's pretty handsome, with a lot of character."

Zhuo Yu'an replied instantly, "Shu Tinglan, have you had too much fun"

"Are you not even allowing me to speak the truth"

Zuo Yu'an: "Tell me all about your day when you get home tonight."

Warning bells are ringing.

Shu Tinglan smiled and then resumed, "He just came to me. Gu's Group is collaborating with a real estate company on a commercial project in an old residential area, so the demolition process in the early stage will be quite complicated. He wants to entrust me with handling the related demolition matters."

Zuo Yu'an quickly sent a video call request. Shu Tinglan took the phone to the tea room to answer it.

Zhuo Yu'an asked succinctly, "What do you think"

Hearing only these snippets, he didn't offer his opinion right away. Instead, he wanted to hear her true thoughts first, so he sent her a video.

“To be honest, both the legal aspects of urban village demolition and collaborating with Gu Ruandong are very challenging, so I'm willing to take them on.” She always tries to push boundaries in her work, so the more difficult the case, the more interested she is. But her biggest concern is what Zhuo Yuyan thinks, after all, Zhuo Yuyan is also collaborating with Gu Ruandong. She wonders if he would be willing for her to participate in other projects of Gu Ruandong's.

In the video, Zhuo Yu'an was silent, seeming to be thinking. After a few seconds, he gave some very sound advice.

"Tinglan, if you're worried about my cooperation with Gu Ruandong, there's no need. Besides, Gu Ruandong is a trustworthy person."

"Trustworthy" Shu Tinglan was a little surprised to hear Zhu Yuyan's evaluation.

"Well, I had a biased opinion of him because I hadn't been in touch for many years and was influenced by outside opinions. But this time, during our collaboration on the game development, I found that while he is eccentric in his dealings with others, he has his own bottom line and principles." A person with a bottom line and principles wouldn't be bad, Zhuo Yunan objectively evaluated.

"So you support me taking on this project" Shu Tinglan asked.

"Want the truth" Zhuo Yu'an asked.

"You said."

"If you want to take on the challenge and accept this case, I will naturally support you all the way. But I'm a little reluctant for you to take it. Demolition work, especially in urban villages, is very complex and dangerous. So, privately, I don't want you to take on these risks. I don't want you to be so tired at work, understand"

Shu Tinglan smiled at the video: "Understand. I know you're worried about me. If it wasn't for Gu Ruandong, and you were just worried that I was tired, then I would have taken it, okay"

If there were risks involved for Gu Ruandong or if it would jeopardize their cooperation, she might decline. But if it was just a concern about her own risk or fatigue, that wouldn't even be a consideration for her. In her line of work, there's never absolute safety, and the workload is demanding. Many lawyers at the firm work long hours or travel frequently; no one gets away without being tired.

She said she wanted to take the challenge and accept the case. Zhuo Yu'an has always supported all of her decisions, so he only said

"Just take it if you want to. With him backing you up, there's nothing much to worry about."

With Zhuo Yu'an's support, she was confident taking on the case.

So the next day, she took Xiaoxin to Gu's Group to find Gu Ruantong to sign the agency contract. Gu Ruantong was not at all surprised to see her come, it was within his expectations, and even his secretary, Xiao Cai, had already printed out the agency contract waiting for her to sign.

Shu Tinglan smiled and signed the character.Lu directly escorted her through the onboarding process, and all the paperwork for this talent acquisition was signed directly. Adding to this, Shu Tinglan is beautiful, and perhaps because she has g...
