Who would study psychology if they didn't have some kind of problem?

Chapter 499 Concealment
The two of them couldn't stay at the company for long in the summer because of the principle of avoiding suspicion.

Now that the client's lawyer is visiting them, they can't have any more contact with him.

They got up, said goodbye to the two people in the office, picked up the documents they had brought, and walked out.

But as they approached the door, a man in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, saw them, his eyes lit up, and he stood up to greet them.

"Hello." The clerk nodded to the man first, then quickened her pace and darted out with Xia Tian.

The man behind her was left with his hand raised, not even having a chance to return a greeting.

The elevator stopped at this floor at just the right time, and the clerk and Xia Tian went in without stopping and pressed the button for the underground parking garage.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief as I watched the elevator doors slowly close.

This avoidance attitude wasn't because of any particular fear, but rather because of the potential for trouble.

The clerk suddenly said, "Tian Tian, ​​you and Mr. Nan from this consulting firm must have been communicating privately, right? You were also working together on the anti-fraud campaigns you've been doing at various universities recently?"

Summer blinked and nodded.

The clerk sighed and said, "Until this case is closed, it's best if you two communicate as little as possible in private."

Xia Tian was taken aback before realizing there was such a pass.

The intern's knowledge base was still somewhat limited, and their understanding of the details was not deep enough: "So, how long will this avoidance of suspicion end?"

The clerk's gaze was deep: "Until he finishes his work, or you finish yours."

Xia Tian blinked and nodded. She was just relieved that the anti-fraud awareness lecture was about to end; otherwise, there might have been other problems if it went on for too long.

Just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly started vibrating. When she looked at the caller ID, her brows furrowed.

"Hello? Dad!"

The clerk had originally intended to give Xia Tian a few more words of advice, but upon hearing this form of address, he swallowed the words he was about to say, his gaze growing even more profound.

"Ah, right, I originally planned to stay until the end of summer vacation and then go back, but now I have a case to handle, and I want to follow the whole process. As for work... Dad, you should know best about it. Yes, I won't be going back to Jiangdu this month."

"Studying for exams? Dad, have you forgotten? I got my offer for graduate school..."
-
The two court staff finished their work and left, while a new project was just beginning at the company.

The man in the suit and tie walked into the office, put down his briefcase, and politely handed Bai Qinghua a business card: "Professor Bai, I've heard so much about you. I'm Zhan Weiyang from 'Guangchi'."

He gave an embarrassed smile: "It's really presumptuous of you to visit so suddenly today."

That is indeed very presumptuous of me.

However, the other party's attitude was quite good, and Bai Qinghua graciously exchanged business cards with him. He then gestured to Nan Zhuren, who was sitting on the sofa next to him: "This is Nan Zhuren, Teacher Nan. I roughly know about your situation; he's the one you're looking for."

Attorney Zhan smiled impeccably and nodded toward Nan Zhuren: "Teacher Nan is also very famous. Everyone says that Professor Bai has a very capable new consultant."

He offered a polite compliment, then ignored Nan Zhuren and sat down in front of Bai Qinghua.

“Professor Bai, I just saw people from the court leaving. It seems you are aware that my client is facing some difficulties…”

He continued, “This is our first meeting, but I’ve handled cases involving psychological trauma before—I think our work is actually quite similar.” “I advocate for justice and fight for the legal rights of my clients; while Professor Bai, you empower your ‘visitors’ to get out of their predicament.”

Attorney Zhan concluded, "Ultimately, it's all about helping the client."

Bai Qinghua nodded, then pointed to Nan Zhuren and said a second time, "Your client is Teacher Nan's visitor. You can ask him any questions you have."

Attorney Zhan paused, first glancing back at Nan Zhuren's face, then turning back and speaking a little faster: "Professor Bai, it's not just a 'problem,' there are some deeper issues in this case..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Bai Qinghua had already raised his hand to signal a pause.

Then the professor started packing his things and said, "As I just said, your client is Professor Nan's visitor. He has everything you want to know and need. He is fully in charge of this matter."

He stood up and walked out, his gaze fixed on Attorney Zhan, which seemed to want to say something but held back: "Zhu Ren."

Nan Zhuren's gaze remained fixed on Attorney Zhan's face after he entered, only shifting to his eyes after hearing this greeting: "Hmm?"

"I need to go back to school to take care of some things. Remember to tidy up my desk after you're done."

"it is good."

--boom.

The office door closed.

Attorney Zhan's smile was somewhat stiff.

Nan Zhuren casually sat down in the seat Bai Qinghua had just been in, a faint smile on her face: "Just like you said, it's a bit presumptuous of me to come today, and my teacher is quite busy."

Attorney Zhan is indeed a very capable lawyer; he quickly composed himself.

His conversation was very rhythmic, and he immediately pulled out a business card from his pocket and handed it over: "I understand, I understand. Does Professor Nan call Professor Bai 'teacher'?"

“Yes, I am his student.” Nan Zhuren took the business card from Attorney Zhan, looked at it, and then said, “I don’t have a business card.”

Attorney Zhan's outstretched hand, which was about to take the business card, froze. He realized that the rhythm of the two, master and apprentice, was completely different from his own.

Nan Zhuren casually tossed the business card aside and said, "You've already given the opening remarks to the teacher, so there's no need to repeat them. Let's get straight to the point—"

Attorney Zhan's expression softened; the person opposite him seemed rather impolite in their speech.

Didn't you say you studied psychology?
Nan Zhuren spoke again before Attorney Zhan could display just the right amount of displeasure.

"You're not Nan Zhihao's lawyer, are you?"

The slight hint of negative emotion that had just appeared on Attorney Zhan's face immediately froze.

Nan Zhuren raised his hand, stopping the other person from making a defense: "Just like you said, I am a very good consultant. And you just said 'I have long admired you' to my teacher. Then you should know what our profession is."

“You’re a lawyer, that’s true, otherwise the teacher would have kicked you out already. But you’ve been hiding something, so I’m the one talking to you now.”

“I’m also very busy, so I hope our conversation today can be more efficient. So I just asked directly—Attorney Zhan, what is the purpose of your visit today?”
