Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

A clear look of panic flashed across Baiyun's face, and he chuckled dryly a few times.

"Sister Yu, you're joking. How could a working-class person like me afford to go to such a high-end place?"

"You mean... you're not happy with your current position?"

Yu Qing pretended to think for a moment.

"By the way, I heard that a top salesperson at one of the branch stores made over 20 yuan in commissions this month. If you're interested, I can sign off on it right away."

Bai Yun's heart skipped a beat, as if she had been kicked off a cliff.

His hand holding the document trembled slightly involuntarily, and his voice was shaking uncontrollably.

"Sister Yu, I didn't mean that... I don't have that kind of skill, I just earn a little money..."

"You didn't mean that? I suddenly had an idea, though. Let me think about it some more. I'll let you know when the board decides."

Bai Yun watched Yu Qing's retreating figure, her back soaked with cold sweat.

Feeling uneasy, Yu Qing, who had always admired her, had never acted this way before. Why was she acting this way...?

Beauty!

Yes, she just mentioned beauty!

Baiyun felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it, and her breathing became rapid.

His fingers unconsciously clenched, as if he wanted to tear the flesh from his palm to relieve the panic in his heart.

Shen Qing's situation isn't good either.

As soon as Yu Qing left, Lu Guokun called her into his office.

He thought he was going to make it up to her, but as soon as she turned to his side, he slapped her to the ground.

She covered her face and looked up in disbelief.

"Old Lu..."

"Shut up, you bitch. No one has ever dared to lie to me like this before."

Shen Qing said with a wronged expression, "What did I do wrong? Why are you treating me like this? Did that old hag say something? She's trying to sow discord between us. Don't listen to her."

"Feelings? Don't listen to her. What do you think they are?"

Lu Guokun looked at her coldly.

He's an idiot, just a tool for each other to use. Why would you talk about feelings with him?

"I'm asking you, what's the deal with those few credit card transactions involving millions or tens of millions?"

Shen Qing shuddered, covered her face, and lowered her head.

She had only mentioned to her family that the card had no spending limit and no PIN, and her parents had secretly taken it to buy a house for her younger brother.

From villas to ordinary apartments, we tried them one by one.

No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't get it to work.

She looked up and saw Lu Guokun sitting in his seat, looking down at her as if she were an ant.

She suddenly realized that she, a girl with nothing, relied solely on her youthful looks.

These so-called upper-class elites are never short of young and beautiful girls.

She crawled over and hugged Lu Guokun's legs, using both her hands and feet.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have been greedy, but I truly love you, Lao Lu."

Shen Qing's tears streamed down her fair and beautiful face, and compared to before, they seemed to carry a hint of sincerity.

Actually, it wouldn't be accurate to say that Shen Qing's relationship with Lu Guokun was purely based on money. Although Lu Guokun was middle-aged, he wasn't greasy or domineering; he always had a smile on his face and spoke softly to outsiders.

He had the air of a Confucian businessman, which made her admire him and feel a genuine sense of affection for him.

But at this moment, his face was extremely cold, and his sharp black eyes were unfathomable, adding to his charm of having seen the vicissitudes of life.

An inexplicable surge of heat quickly swept over Shen Qing's entire body.

She rested her head on his knees, and tears quickly soaked his trousers.

"Old Lu, I was really wrong. Please don't abandon me. I can't live without you."

Lu Guokun remained unmoved: "If you dare to have any more ideas in the future, don't blame me for being impolite."

"roll."

Shen Qing got up and returned to her office in a disheveled state.

The gossipy and curious gazes of her colleagues fell upon her, and a strong sense of humiliation surged up within her. Shen Qing's entire face turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.

She hunched over, shrinking behind the computer as if that way no one could see her embarrassment.

Covering her lower abdomen with both hands, Shen Qing was glad that she hadn't revealed her pregnancy yet.

Everything is uncertain, and she cannot say for sure that this is her only chance of winning.

She will wait until the child is born, then she will have leverage to negotiate.

…………

On the 22nd floor of Kairong Building, Jiangwan is receiving the parties involved.

It was called a reception, but it was mostly Fang Tian doing the talking while she stood to the side pouring water and making copies of materials.

A young couple who seemed like they couldn't get along sued a male college student who crashed his bicycle into their luxury car.

The woman was very agitated.

"Do you know how expensive my car is? I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold her. The insurance company says it doesn't need repairs and they're really going to ignore it? No way! I've said it beforehand, I want Director Lu from your office to handle it personally."

Fang Tian reassured her, "Director Lu isn't here today, but don't worry, we'll follow the compensation standards and will definitely not harm your interests."

"Yes, my wife has been in a very bad mood these past few months, and I'm demanding compensation for emotional distress. She's also traumatized and doesn't dare drive anymore, commuting to get off work by private car every day; she needs to pay that too."

The man also nodded in agreement, glancing sideways at him.

The woman gave him an approving look.

Fang Tian nodded again: "Of course, of course."

Jiang Wan couldn't help but interject: "If the vehicle is not worth repairing and is not damaged to the point of being unable to drive, then what you two are doing... is tantamount to exacerbating your own losses."

The woman turned around and looked at her with displeasure: "Who are you? What's it to you?"

"Jiang Wan," Fang Tian said, looking at her with displeasure, "I'm sorry, this is my and the director's assistant. She hasn't been here long and doesn't know the rules very well."

"Who is this person, Director Fang? How could your law firm hire someone like this? He doesn't know anything!"

The man rolled his eyes. "I can't help but have doubts about the professionalism of your firm."

"Jiang Wan, aren't you going to apologize to the customer yet?"

Fang Tian gave Jiang Wan a look, "We cannot harm the interests of our clients."

Jiang Wan argued forcefully: "But Director Fang, there are risks involved in what you're doing. Some of the claims are clearly baseless and unfounded. Why make promises to clients?"

"That depends on the lawyer. Maybe someone else can handle a case that's risky for you?"

Fang Tian stood up and looked at her coldly, "Jiang Wan, go prepare the contract. It's your job."

Jiang Wan stared at her for a while, then turned and left, returning shortly with two contracts.

"Director Fang, I advise you to be more cautious. These two people are difficult to communicate with."

Fang Tian ignored him completely, took the contract and pen, and quickly signed her and Lu Jingshi's names.

"Go prepare the legal documents; I need them tomorrow morning."
