Wen Yining turned the computer around and her delicate fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard.

Zhang Yang leaned back and looked at her. Sunlight streamed in through the glass window, illuminating her profile. For a moment, Zhang Yang was mesmerized.

As Wen Yining typed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and if you looked closely, you could even see the veins under her skin. Her cherry-like lips sometimes opened slightly and sometimes pursed gently.

The only sounds in the lounge were breathing and typing.

Five minutes later.

Wen Yining let out a breath, then turned the computer to face Zhang Yang and sat down on Zhang Yang's side.

The two were less than three fists apart, and Zhang Yang could smell a faint fragrance emanating from her.

"Mr. Zhang, please take a look at the first draft."

Zhang Yang snapped out of his reverie and started staring at the computer screen.

"This payment method needs to be changed. I've already agreed with Mr. Shuai that it would be a full payment upon handover," he said, pointing to the payment terms.

"Okay." Wen Yining leaned forward slightly and corrected the text on the terms.

"And this clause on breach of contract only stipulates a penalty of 10% of the total amount. I feel that the binding force is too weak. It's not that I don't trust it, but this amount is too little for this sum. I think it should be at least 30%."

Wen Yining continued to revise it.

After making the revisions, Zhang Yang went through them again and, finding no major problems, smiled.

"I have no further questions. Attorney Wen, could you draft the contract now and come with me?"

"Do I still need to go?"

"I think Attorney Wen is very professional and responsible, so I hope you can be present when we sign the contract."

"So you're on set now..." Wen Yining looked at Zhang Yang.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You need to pay more!"

Zhang Yang: "...No problem, just follow your fee schedule. By the way, Attorney Wen has another question."

Wen Yining blinked: "Go ahead."

"My company has just been established, and I need to set up a legal department to handle legal matters. I wonder if Attorney Wen would be interested in working as a legal advisor for my company."

Wen Yining chuckled: "What will happen to my law firm if I go with you?"

"Oh? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know this law firm was yours," Zhang Yang said, clasping his hands together in apology. "How about we cooperate? If Attorney Wen still has the energy."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yining pondered for a moment.

"If you hire me as a legal advisor, there are two ways to work together. One is to be a lawyer who only needs to help you review contracts and follow procedures, and the other is to be a partner who needs to handle all legal matters."

"You mean we can talk?"

"Of course, a fool wouldn't make money if he could."

"Then I would definitely choose a partner."

Wen Yining nodded: "Then I will draft the contract for you according to the partnership agreement. By the way, the fee is 300,000 yuan per year for the partnership model. During our cooperation, all legal-related contract reviews, legal opinions, and litigation representation for your company will be provided by our law firm."

"Secondly, if on-site review and signing of contracts is required, it is considered a business trip and the cost will be calculated separately, at 1,000 yuan per day. If you need to go to other places, in addition to the 1,000 yuan cost, your company will have to bear the transportation, meal and accommodation expenses."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang smiled and said, "No problem."

Wen Yining was taken aback: "Mr. Zhang, aren't you going to try and negotiate the price?"

Zhang Yang waved his hand: "No need, your expertise is worth the price."

"Then I'll go with you to sign the acquisition agreement first. I'll send you the partnership agreement when I get back."

"OK."

After saying that, Zhang Yang walked out of the law firm and hailed a car by the roadside.

Wen Yining went back to her office to tidy up before following him. She got into the car and said, "President Zhang is truly young and promising. He's so young and he wants to buy Moore Department Store in full."

Zhang Yang chuckled and joked, "Compared to Attorney Wen, I don't have much to brag about. But you, at such a young age, already have your own law firm. By the way, Attorney Wen, if I may ask, are you a local?"

"Yes, I'm from Mu County."

Zhang Yang was delighted and continued, "How long has your law firm been open?"

Wen Yining thought for a moment: "Less than two years."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang was secretly astonished. In less than two years, he had managed to capture 85% of the legal business in the county. What kind of ruthless methods were these?

Although Mou County is not large, this is still too exaggerated.

Could it be that he has some kind of background?

Zhang Yang's curiosity about Wen Yining reached its peak in an instant.

"I admire you. In less than two years, you have basically monopolized the legal business in the entire Mu County."

Wen Yining frowned. "President Zhang, please watch your words. What do you mean by monopoly? It means that our customers trust us."

"Yes, yes, I misspoke."

The car soon arrived at the Blossoming Fortune Teahouse. After the two got out of the car, Zhang Yang led Wen Yining to the bamboo building with ease.

"Mr. Shuai, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

The two sat down at the table, and Wen Yining took out a printed contract from the file bag and handed it to Shuai Deheng.

"Mr. Zhang, you're really generous to even bring Lawyer Wen to be on-site." Shuai Deheng clicked his tongue in amazement, then took the contract and began to read it.

"Professional matters should be left to professionals," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Shuai Deheng quickly finished reading the contract and signed his name. Zhang Yang also smiled and signed his name, and then the two shook hands.

After finishing, Wen Yining put the contract away and returned it to the document bag, and Zhang Yang immediately used the bank's app to transfer the money.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Mr. Handsome!"

Zhang Yang reached out and shook hands with Shuai Deheng again. From this moment on, Moore Department Store was also his asset.

After some polite exchanges, Zhang Yang and Wen Yining turned to leave, but Shuai Deheng called him back again:

"Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment."

Zhang Yang turned around, looking puzzled. "Mr. Shuai, is there anything else?"

Shuai Deheng glanced at Wen Yining, who immediately understood: "President Zhang, I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay, then please wait a moment, Attorney Wen. I have something to discuss with you later."

Wen Yining nodded, then turned and left.

Zhang Yang frowned as he sat back down at the tea table.

"What's so mysterious?"

"Mr. Zhang, I can tell you're a man who wants to get things done. Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart: Mu County isn't as simple as it seems on the surface."

After Shuai Deheng finished speaking, he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked out the window, as if recalling something unpleasant.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang frowned deeply.

After a moment of recollection, Shuai Deheng finally organized his thoughts and began to speak:

"I made some money outside in my early years. I have a strong sense of homesickness. As I get older, I think about returning to my roots. After experiencing the prosperity outside, returning to the land that gave me birth and nurtured me makes me feel very uncomfortable. I am not convinced. I feel that I have funds and business knowledge, and I can do something for Mou County."

Seeing Shuai Deheng's shifty eyes, Zhang Yang silently offered him a cigarette.

"When I started buying land and building, the higher-ups valued me a lot. When Moore Department Store opened, it was a huge event. I set off firecrackers around the entire square three times. The leaders came to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. It was a truly glorious time."

Shuai Deheng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and continued:

"At that time, I felt that I made the right decision to come back. After that day, I had acquaintances everywhere I went, and many people wanted to treat me to a meal."

Zhang Yang nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"When we first opened, business was booming, and I made a lot of money in the first year, but..." Shuai Deheng suddenly paused, as if considering his words, and then said, "After that, all sorts of people started to show their skills."

"When the urban management officers first came, they said the GG license plate was too big, exceeding the prescribed size, and needed to be rectified. I've been driving for a year now, and you're telling me the GG license plate is no good?"
