Chapter 32: Leave Me Alone

e result out yet"Well, it's out now.""How about it Can you pinpoint his approximate location""If the simulation system is correct, he's still in the border town." Zhuo Yu'an reported truthfully. He ha...When she saw Shu Tinglan, she smiled sweetly:

Zoe Technology's legal team just called, asking us to go over and submit some documents. Listen, darling, wait for me, I'll be back triumphant!

Shutinglan nodded and sat down at her desk, turning on her computer to begin her workday. She felt a tinge of disappointment and unwillingness. The hard work she had put in earlier had been replaced by someone else's work. Anyone would feel down in this situation, but she quickly adjusted her state of mind, refusing to let negative emotions affect her.

As I was nearing lunchtime, Lin Zhixuan suddenly messaged me on WeChat.

"Did your Director Xiao get his head squeezed by a door What kind of thing is this Jiajia you sent over"

"She's my coworker, what about it"

"Does she think Zhuoyuan Technology is a stage for her to perform She went from the legal department to the HR department, and now she's chatting in the secretary's office. I, Lin Zhifei, have finally met my match today."

"That's good, it seems our Director Xiao didn't choose the wrong person." Shu Tinglan felt a mixture of disappointment and admiration for Jia Jia's social skills.

"But, I just passed by the secretary's office and heard the secretaries being scolded by Zhuo Yu'an like they were dogs, because someone let a stranger wander around the company. Now you Jia Jia left Zhuo Yuan Technology with red eyes." Lin Zhihao finished speaking and laughed gloatingly.

Shu Tinglan couldn't laugh though. Regardless of her grievances with Jiajia, she hoped the project at Zhuo Yuan Technology would go smoothly. She just didn't understand why Director Xiao, who was usually so careful, would send Jiajia. In terms of interpersonal skills, the senior lawyers in the mergers and acquisitions team were no worse than her.

Jiajia returned to the law firm with red eyes and went straight into Director Xiao's office to report.

When the meeting was in session, Director Xiao looked extremely displeased, but he did not criticize Jiajia excessively. When Jiajia tried to defend herself, he waved his hand, signaling her to stop talking.

Zhou Ming said privately:

"Jiajia's father is the bank president of a certain bank, and Xiao's director's big client."

The unspoken meaning is that her father pressured Director Xiao, leaving him with no choice but to train her.

She’s smitten. She fell head over heels for Zhuo Yu'an when they met at the subway station that day, so she wants to join this project.

Now I see, that's why I wasn't interested in the Zhuo Yuan Technology project before. Now I suddenly have a 180-degree change of heart and understand why the usually strict Director Xiao has repeatedly indulged Jiajia.

And she had nothing, only her hard work and the chance to strive for opportunities.

Zhang, the lawyer from Zhuoyuan Technology, called and finally confirmed the bidding time. He invited Director Xiao to attend, set for next Monday. And Shu Tinglan must finish writing the bid document for Director Xiao's reference by Friday.

Her first draft is finished and she sent it to Zhou Ming first.

"Well done, the content is very complete, but there are two more items you could add, one is the time required for the project, and the other is our quotation."

Although Zhou Ming wasn't her supervising attorney, he was indeed guiding her step by step. These two aspects of the legal brief are generally not assigned to new lawyers, but he still instructed her to work on them, allowing her to participate more comprehensively in the entire process.

Shu Tinglan was naturally extremely grateful and thought that after the bidding meeting ended, she must treat him to a good meal.

"Your growth is the most important thing, work hard."

In the evening, Zhuo Yuyan was cooking. She sat on the living room coffee table with her laptop, working intently on revising a proposal. After a while, Zhuo Yuyan called out to...

"Shū tīng lán, xǐ shǒu chī fàn."

Didn't hear, didn't want to deal with it, continued to bury myself in work.

Zuo Yu'an called out to her several more times, but she found it annoying. She simply took her laptop and went to work at the desk in the guest room, practically locking herself in. Zuo Yu'an followed her in shortly after, bent down to glance at her computer screen, and continued speaking.

"Finish eating and then work."

Shu Tinglan was really annoyed. She hadn't finished organizing her quotation yet, and it involved issues like project members, travel expenses, public relations investigation fees, and so on. Her head was spinning. Beside her, Zhuo Yuyan persistently urged her to eat, and she couldn't help but look up at him.

"Could you go out first I'm not hungry."

Perhaps no one had ever dared to speak to him like that before. His face darkened, and he reached out to slam her laptop shut, saying in an unquestionable tone:

"Eat first!" said rather domineeringly.

Shu Tinglan's little spark of anger also flared up, just as she was about to lash out, Zhuo Yu'an reached out and took her shoulder, pulling her outside.

"After you finish, I'll help you revise it."elt like nothing mattered anymore. The only thought that remained was: if I die, at least Gu Shao will be safe.In that moment of closing his eyes, a sudden BANG as the door was kicked open startled hi...
