Shu Tinglan nodded slightly, then strode back to her own car.Thank herIs it thanks for her forbearance, or thanks for her powerlessness What a sarcastic expression of gratitude!She didn't drive back t..."What's up If nothing, I'm heading back to the law firm." 。She still stood by the door, not taking a step forward. 。I'm still mad at him. 。Zuo Yu'an raised his hand to look at his watch: "It's only an hour and a half before you get off work, it takes you half an hour to commute, and you only have less than an hour of actual work time. Why bother with the back and forth, wasting time." 。I'd be happy 。>This afternoon's work was disrupted because of him, and many things were left undone. 。His office was spacious. He sat at his desk, while she stood by the door, several meters away, as if speaking across a distance. 。"I could eat you alive, standing so far away" He was both angry and amused. 。Shu Tinglan gave him an affirmative look, knowing him too well. He probably didn't even realize it himself, but the way he looked at her now was... with inappropriate feelings for a child. 。Zhuo Y uan didn't dwell on it, changing the subject: "In an hour, the children will be out of school. Why don't we go pick them up together" He also saw through Ting Lan's thoughts because the kindergarten was close to him, and he picked them up most of the time. Her law firm was far away, so she rarely went to pick them up. She already felt guilty, and today was a good opportunity. Thinking that the children would be especially happy if they saw her picking them up, she couldn't help but feel moved by the thought of their faces. 。I'll be waiting for you outside. 。She compromised, but didn't want to be in a room with him. She went to Cui Jie's office outside, where she could still work for a while and finish the tasks she hadn't completed today. 。She turned to open the door to his office, but as she did, a shadow fell upon her. He had approached silently from behind, and with a click, he shut the already opened door. 。She turned back, glared at him defiantly, knowing exactly what he was going to do, and warned,
"Mr. Zhuo, this is the office!"
"I know " 。He whispered back, his hand already holding hers captive against the door, pinning her in place. 。It's time to go to work.
She spoke again, her voice a little weaker this time. The closeness of it all made her heart race. 。I know 。He still answered in a low voice. 。A brief exchange, and then seeing her cheeks flush subtly, he felt his own breath quicken, even without any action on his part. 。"
“You know all… You still… Mm…”
The voice was cut off as he was lifted up and carried into the office's break room.
" 。Shutinglan had become accustomed to this. What was that saying If you can't fight it, enjoy it. 。He softened, like a cat. 。The more docile she was, the harder it became for Zhuo Yu'an to resist. He wanted nothing more than to pulverize her and absorb her into his very being. 。During the call, Lan Xiaoshan called again. Zhuo YUAN picked up the phone and put it to her ear, asking her how the cooperation talks were going. 。He did that on purpose. Seeing her distracted and hearing the voice of Lan Xiaoshan, she gradually focused, then instantly came to herself and replied: "I have already signed the contract". 。From the intensity just now to suddenly needing to focus and answer her boss's questions clearly, she found it hard to shift gears immediately, so her voice was still a little
airy. 。Zuo Yu'an also stopped his movements, reaching out to gently stroke the sweat on her forehead, patiently waiting for her to finish the call. 。"Well, I won't be back this afternoon."
"Okay, goodbye." 。Finally having ended the call, she glared at him angrily, knowing he did it on purpose, just to see her make a fool of herself. 。As he kissed her, he boldly declared, "Work comes first, right"
speechless, utterly speechless. 。。
Just as I stepped out of the office and saw Ms. Cui from the secretary's room, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty. 。Zhuo Yu'an came out a step later than her and shouted from behind: “Lawyer Shu, don't forget your contract.” 。"The contract was just by the door, scattered on the floor. He bent down to pick it up, then handed it to her, very seriously, in the manner of one party dealing with another." 。Sister Cui had the air of someone who had been there, done that. 。Shu Tinglan's face flushed to the roots of her ears. 。After they entered the private elevator, he looked at her and said: “Why are you blushing more easily now You’re getting older, yet your skin has become thinner.”
She replied: “No one else has a thicker face than yours, it's as thick as a city wall.” 。Zhuo Yu'an couldn't help but chuckle softly, and reached out to pull her into his arms. "With the kids here, let's go out for dinner tonight." 。"
good 。As soon as the two children left kindergarten, they saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They happily ran over and threw themselves into their mother's arms. Shu Tinglan was almost knocked off balance by them, but luckily Zhuo Y uan steadied her back. 。A family of four cheerfully got into the car, and then Dad took them out for a big meal. Along the way, he listened to them chattering about what happened at kindergarten. Zhuo Yu'an and Shu Tinglan occasionally responded with a few words or smiled discreetly. 。The happiest days are like this. 。to the extent that, Shu Tinglan went to work at the law firm the next day and forgot that signing the contract with Zhuo Yuan Technology's subsidiary would offend Li Anna. 。So when Li Anna yelled at her in the office, it took her a while to remember 。She didn't intend to compete with Li Anna at all, but in these two instances, because of the Whale Finance and Zhuoyuan Technology deals, she inevitably came into conflict with her. 。Especially this time, Li Anna has been working hard for Zhuoyuan Technology. This is obvious to all in the entire department. She is clearly poaching Li Anna's clients. 。If she tries to explain this, she'll only make things more confusing. 。Li Anna was unrelenting. This time, she was full of confidence and went to find Lan Xiaoshan to demand an explanation. She didn't believe that Lan Xiaoshan could still favor Shu Tinglan this time. 。As a result, she was astonished. Lan XiaoShan watched as Li Anna argued tirelessly, while Shu TingLan stood silently on the side. He frowned and interrupted Li Anna: “Lawyer Li, I know about this case. I asked Lawyer Shu to take it.” 。“This was something he participated in the whole time.” 。Li Anna's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lan Xiaoshan, so brazenly standing by Shu Tinglan's side "Lawyer Shu has worked on projects for Zhuoyuan Technology before. Their lawyer Zhang and Mr. Zhu, this time took the initiative to find Lawyer Shu to cooperate >>> 。I was there too, any problem with that”
Lan Xiaoshan thought of last night, Shu Tinglan proactively giving the client to Li Anna’s magnanimity, comparing the two, it was clear who was superior. 。Originally, Lan Xiaoshan was fair to both of them, showing no bias. But now, he had developed thoughts. 。He spoke in a serious tone to Li Anna: "Li lawyer, work sometimes doesn't have to be confined within these boundaries. Broaden your horizons and look further afield, perhaps you'll see a more beautiful landscape." 。He never promoted Li Anna, not because she wasn't hardworking, nor because her performance wasn't good enough, but because she lacked the big-picture perspective a department leader should have. 。Li Anna couldn't believe her ears. Her client was snatched away, and Lawyer Lan even blamed it on her, saying she lacked a broad perspective and was too focused on petty detailsplanation. If she still didn't understand, he would suggest that she ask the teacher, saying that the teacher should be able to explain it more thoroughly than him.Wen Jian, although she came in first...
