Ning Wan was thinking about the evening dishes, but after a burst of exhaust gas, a luxury car stopped in front of her, blocking the way forward.
In the co-driver's seat, a young woman dressed in luxurious clothes rolled down the car window and looked at Ning Wan, with a delicate tone: "Ning Wan, really, what are you up to?" The other party's cardamom-colored lips were light. Open and close lightly, "How many calls and texts I have made to you, why haven't you seen it? What are you up to?"
Ning Wan pursed her lips. She didn't expect that Shi Wu would have such perseverance to block the door of the community, she could only frown and replied, "I was too busy at work and didn't bother to look at the phone."
The Shi Wu in front of her is Ning Wan’s high school classmate, and may be the one who pays the most attention to Ning Wan among all high school classmates. Unfortunately, it is not a good concern. Ning Wan High School offended her, and was subsequently retaliated by her. Excluded, even after graduation, Shi Wu still "loves" Ning Wan, forcibly touching the porcelain belt Ning Wan to appear together, and then find every opportunity to taunt Ning Wan.
At this moment, she was picking up her meticulous eyeliner and looking at Ning Wan with a playful look: "I said old classmates, I really didn't expect community lawyers to be so busy!" She pretended to be puzzled and innocent. I heard that community lawyers take small cases. Although the income is not high and it is not the kind of division of labor among lawyers, it should be very easy. After all, it is not a big case and the fee is not expensive. Why would you be so busy? Look at the phone!"
On the surface it sounds very concerned, but the malice between the lines in Shi Wu's word is almost overflowing.
She looked at Ning Wan and pretended to complain: "Forget it, you are too busy. The legal affairs of my listed company are quite idle. Then I'll come to you. Well, I have a birthday party tonight. This time I sent a lot of text messages to invite you to go with me, but you didn’t reply, so my boyfriend happened to be picking me up in a new car today. I remembered that you didn’t buy a car, and it’s hard to get a taxi at the end of get off work, even if you see me. You can only come by bus for the information, so you said that the bus is too crowded, so I specifically asked my boyfriend to pick you up with me."
here we go again.
Ning Wan just wanted to roll her eyes sometime. Shi Wu was a good example of their high school background. Although she was not knowledgeable, she enrolled in a decent university based on family relations. She also studied law. The family relationship entered into the legal team of a listed company in Rongshi. Since then, they have been desperately stumbling, wishing to step on Ning Wan’s feet for everything. At an age, they still have such shallow eyelids and so boring all day long. It's breathtaking.
Seeing Ning Wan's expression on her face, Shi Wu was even more excited: "You are too, girl, you have to learn to take care of yourself, to be a community lawyer, and you don't have time to watch your phone all day, so you don't have time to talk. I'm in love. Look at you, how do you find someone who is so disgraced? You know, the golden age of a girl is just that few years old..."
Ning Wan had known her routine a long time ago. It seemed that the sisters had invited herself to a birthday party specially, but in reality they were just asking herself to show off her happy life in the past and ridicule them. Of course, she couldn't go.
No money, no future, no target, this is basically Shi Wu’s main route to step on Ning Wan. Ning Wan was too lazy to pay attention to it, but today she may be so angry that she didn’t want to bear it. She looked at Fu Zheng who was watching the fire from behind, and decided to take this An extra actor pulled in to make up the number.
"Why don't you have a boyfriend? Isn't this my boyfriend." Ning Wan put on a business smirk, and pulled Fu Zheng over and put it in her hand. She became well-organized after facing Fu Zheng stunned. He bit his head and continued, "Shi Wu, I had an appointment with my boyfriend tonight, and now he has come to pick me up too. I really can’t go to your birthday party. I wish you a happy birthday. ."
In any case, Fu Zheng's appearance and temperament really basically beat 99% of the men. Ning Wan looked at Shi Wu's distorted face from shock to envy and envy when she looked at Fu Zheng. She also felt the dark refreshment of raising her eyebrows for a while. .
It’s a pity that Ning Wan still underestimated Shi Wu. She bit her lip, then opened the car door, and walked down on her own: "What are you doing in this way? My boyfriend and I came here to pick you up. You will bring you tonight. Come with your boyfriend, don’t you just have one more mouth to eat? It also saves you two of dinner money!"
She smiled, looked at Fu Zheng arrogantly, and then pretended to be gentle: "My boyfriend booked me at the Xinyue Hotel tonight. The seafood in it is delicious. You have never eaten it before. Go, no money!"
What this said, it was as if Ning Wan and Fu Zheng had never seen a big beggar in the world, and Ning Wan wanted to hit someone outrageously. As a result, she did not expect that the more annoying thing was yet to come—
Shi Wu glanced at Ning Wan, then at Fu Zheng, then Zhuangruo sighed sympathetically, moved to Ning Wan's side, and said in a low voice: "Ning Wan, I said that your boyfriend is not because you are afraid of embarrassment. Just pull it on the road? Why do you never mention having a boyfriend? What's more, you can see how you two look good, don’t say sweet, they are not very familiar, I came to pick you up and invite you too The two are here together, you still live and die, don’t be because of this... Don’t worry, your old classmates and I will not make fun of you for this matter. If you are still single, I will introduce some to you tonight. I know Qian’s friends!"
Although she knew that Shi Wu was a violent general, but Ning Wan still followed her way in a rage. Fu Zheng was indeed just a fake boyfriend she had brought, but how could she say that she was a subordinate brother under her cover. A birthday party? It's not about hitting whatever you want to say! Then let yourself lead the troops out tonight to play well, rub Shi Wu's vigor!
"Since you invited so sincerely, then I'm better off respecting my fate." Ning Wan smiled tolerantly, and leaned her head on Fu Zheng, "Then I will come with my boyfriend."
At the moment of the enemy, Ning Wan can't be reserved. She is now leaning on Fu Zheng, and she can smell the men's Eau de Toilette on Fu Zheng after a short distance. It is difficult to describe this as a kind of barren adjective. What kind of smell, I only vaguely think that this smell is very advanced, with a very particular after-tone...
To be honest, the taste... is quite attractive... mature, stable, and sexy in the sense of coldness. When attacked by such a strong breath, Ning Wan felt that her face couldn't help but flush...
Suddenly, I didn’t have time to talk to Fu Zheng about the caliber and hints, so I could only look at each other eagerly and asking for help. Fortunately, Fu Zheng was quite advanced. After a short period of stiffness and consternation, he was very quick. Entering the script, he returned his hand to gently wrap Ning Wan's waist, and returned to Shi Wu with a casual smile. The expression looked completely like a noble son who could never eat the fireworks forever.
Probably because he has been pretending to be rich for the sake of face for a long time, this guy Fu Zheng is not only adept in acting, but also has a good line knowledge. He glanced at Shi Wu and used the attitude of reluctantly preaching to mortals like you. Indifferently said: "Ning Wan is slower and has a thinner skin. It's not like some girls who are superficially showing affection in the public. Moreover, independent women are not dependent on men. There is no need to hang on to a'boyfriend'. It's normal to mention me. Besides, Xiu Enai died fast. I chased Ning Wan for a long time. She didn't want to be intimate in public. Of course I respect her."
Fu Zheng smiled slightly: "After all, she is not my appendage, I am her appendage."
Fu Zheng was gentle and charming at this moment, and Ning Wan was leaning against him, listening to the man's low, hoarse and sexy voice from above her head, she suddenly understood Gao Yuan in an instant.
Harm, the hungry ghost in Gao Yuan's look is really vicious. Although Fu Zheng has no money, he is a rare and first-class man in terms of quality and temperament. No wonder he salivates and wants to dive even if he wants to die. The rules, not to blame him, Ning Wan thought dazedly, in all fairness, if you want to be rich, I am afraid that you can't help but unspoken rules Fu Zheng...
When Ning Wan recovered her senses from her dizziness, she had already sat with Fu Zheng in the BMW 7 Series of Shi Wu’s boyfriend, but as soon as she calmed down, Ning Wan deeply regretted it. As the saying goes, Xiao If you can't bear it, you will be in a big way, and sincerely don't deceive me...
Almost as soon as Ning Wan and Fu Zheng got in the car, Shi Wu never stopped showing off—
"Just to introduce to you, my boyfriend Yang Pei, it's a coincidence that he also studies law, and now he works at Tianheng Office. Although he is only a little older than us, he is almost ready to make money. You can be promoted as a partner in three years."
When Shi Wu said this, he turned his head to look at Fu Zheng pointedly: "Ning Wan, don't you introduce your boyfriend?"
"Oh, his name is Fu Zheng."
It's a pity that one doesn't want to say it, the more he wants to ask, Shi Wu directly said to Fu Zheng like a victory chase: "Oh, what do you do?"
Fu Zheng's attitude was calm and composed, cherishing his words like gold: "Lawyer."
"It's such a coincidence! Don't the four of us all study law? Then, Fu Zheng, where do you work?"
"He hasn't decided which law firm to go to." Ning Wan was afraid that Fu Zheng would reveal his stuffing, and quickly cut off the conversation, and then continued without beating, "Fu Zheng, a graduate of Pennsylvania Law School and works in New York. I have been a senior lawyer at Weil&Tords for several years. If it weren’t for having to come back from the U.S. because of family issues, I would have been promoted in the past two years. Now that I have returned to China, I also want to relax first, although I have invited him to join as a senior partner. There are many offers, but he hasn’t decided where to go."
Ning Wan's remarks are mixed, and Fu Zheng's education is true, but her resume and partner identity are nonsense.
The partner of the foreign firm has a bigger gold content than the partner of a small domestic firm like Tianheng, not just a little bit. As expected, when Shi Wu heard this, the jealousy in her eyes almost turned into a flying knife to Ning Wan's body.
When Shi Wu's boyfriend Yang Pei heard the name of Weil&Tords, he couldn't help but glanced at Fu Zheng in the rearview mirror in surprise.
Ning Wan hadn’t paid much attention to what Yang Pei looked like before. Now she looked in the rearview mirror and found that this man was a good-looking man. He would be considered a handsome guy if she met on the road on weekdays, but she was next to Fu Zheng. It's not enough.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. This is true. Now, when you look at Fu Zheng, Yang Pei’s face was originally considered a handsome face, but I don’t know how it is. The more important thing is actually not the comparison of looks, so Yang Pei It is the temperament that is completely suppressed. Although he looks quite upright, Yang Pei does not seem to have the foundation. The clothes are indeed brand-name goods, but the meaning of showing off is so obvious that the whole person is wearing With a bit of impetuous aura, on the contrary, Fu Zheng has a quiet and restrained superior temperament. If Fu Zheng is like a genuine top luxury brand, Yang Pei is like a low-profile imitation brand.
Jealousy and hostility are not unique to women. When Yang Peineng and Shi Wu come together, they naturally have the same scents. Now in such a confined space in a car, they are coexisting with a man with a stronger aura than himself. This is triumphant. Suddenly was aroused.
If he inadvertently said: "You came from Weil&Tords, I have a classmate who is also at Weil&Tords! It is also in the New York office, called Shicheng, since you are all there and you are going to be promoted, you must know him? He is currently in the office. What field are you working in? Which team do you follow?"
Obviously, Yang Pei, like Shi Wu, instinctively doesn't believe that someone of his age can be so much better than himself. The preconceived idea is that Ning Wan is bragging...
Of course, it’s not to blame them... Ning Wan thought with a guilty conscience that she was really bragging, just because the business was too unfamiliar, and it suddenly broke the sky. It was too bad for Fu Zheng to be assigned. I'm going to be slapped on the spot... This is really a petty applause, forcing you to freak out...
Ning Wan closed her eyes in pain, wishing she disappeared on the spot, this kind of problem... Weil&Tords is just talking about it casually, where do you want to get someone who Yang Pei really knows is in it... This is over, it's all over...
However, what Ning Wan didn't expect was that Fu Zheng was more calm than her. He only glanced at Yang Pei lightly, and then resolved the problem in four or two ways: "Weil&Tords has a team for the Chinese market, so there are many Chinese. There are about 100 lawyers in the New York office. I don’t have the time to know every ordinary employee clearly, especially if his level is not high enough." Fu Zheng smiled, "I'm sorry, I really don't know him."
Ning Wan originally felt that she was dead. After Fu Zheng's words, she only felt that she was better and better, and she couldn't help but raised her head and showed a hint of approval in her eyes to Fu Zheng.
Look at these words, how well they said they did not reveal themselves, but also showed their identity in a low-key manner.
This kid is really talented in pretending to be! No wonder I thought he was so rich at the beginning! Take a look at the professional ability of this pretender! Ning Wan felt that if Fu Zheng used this dedication to be a lawyer, it would definitely make a big deal. He was an individual talent.
Yang Pei was blocked and speechless, but Shi Wu naturally did not die so easily. Soon, her expression eased again, and her calm regained, as if she had seen through Ning Wan Fu Zheng’s flaws, her tone again I was tested: "Ning Wan, your boyfriend is so powerful, what kind of legal field? Now the foreign economy is not good, and there is no need to be superstitious. The most important thing is to choose the right legal field! Your boyfriend It’s right to choose to return home!"
This is really endless!
But now Ning Wan can only pretend to be calm and say: "Commercial."
Commercial affairs are the most profitable no matter where they are. In this tone, Ning Wan doesn't want to lose.
"Oh, it's such a coincidence!" As soon as he heard this answer, Shi Wu was slapped. "Our company has just recently prepared to acquire the equity of a US company. The terms have basically been negotiated and we are ready to deal with overseas sellers. I ran into a problem as to whether to add insurance clauses. Ning Wan, since your boyfriend is a senior attorney in the US majors in the field of commercial affairs, why not give me some advice?"
"..."
Although Ning Wan has read a lot of professional books and cases because he has always wanted to be engaged in the business field, but the insurance legal issues in the business field are very specialized, and it is not only clear in textbooks, but requires a lot of practical experience. , Especially when it comes to overseas mergers and acquisitions. Although Ning Wan wanted to help Fu Zheng out, she really didn’t have enough energy...
Sure enough, the fake can't be true...
Ning Wan was prepared to be devastated by Shi Wu's storm, and struggled hard and said, "Although Fu Zheng is a business, there are many sub-divisions in business, and he also..."
"Overseas M&A insurance is of course necessary. Even if the two parties are now happily discussing the details of the agreement before the cooperation, if there is no representation and guarantee insurance in the contract, it will be difficult to be held accountable for problems after the transaction is completed. In particular, most overseas sellers are SPVs. Of course there should be a W&I insurance clause..."
As a result, before Ning Wan tried to break the siege, Fu Zheng explained it very smoothly, because his speech was very fast, and if he didn’t listen carefully, he couldn’t keep up with his logic at all. A large section of professional terminology plus incredible practice. Instructing, until Fu Zheng finished speaking, even though Ning Wan had a clear face, she didn’t actually understand...
But Shi Wu is much worse than herself. There is a complete blankness on her face, and she can't even pretend to understand...
High! If it weren't for the current enemy, Ning Wan would almost clap her hands! Fu Zheng! Really talented!
Do a little bit of this kind of English terminology, and then randomly mix up some messy and seemingly professional and incomprehensible operations to stun people and pretend to be invisible. It is enough to bluff people like Shi Wu and Yang Pei who are not good at learning. !
Shi Wu collapsed, but Yang Pei was still unwilling, and he didn't know where he came up with a tricky question: "If you use the poison pill plan in the face of a hostile takeover, then..."
Just when Ning Wan began to worry about how to fool this issue, Fu Zheng pursed her lips and smiled: "Excuse me, my rate is $1,200 per hour. Although you are friends of Ning Wan, if There is a fee for consulting legal issues or asking for advice. If there is anything you want to ask, you can get a discount for 1,000 dollars."
"..."
As if he was afraid that Shi Wu and Yang Pei would not die, Fu Zheng arrogantly added: "You are also your colleagues, and you usually hate free consultation, right?"
What can Shi Wu and Yang Pei say now, they can only knock off their teeth and swallow blood, and nod their heads dryly and say yes. At this point, the scene has finally come to an end. The few people were speechless all the way, and arrived at Shi Wu safely. Birthday banquet hotel.
Fortunately, as soon as he arrived at the venue, Shi Wu, as the host and birthday star, will soon greet this and the other. The birthday venue is in the form of a cold dinner and cocktail party, except for the occasional few familiar classmates or alumni. Shi Wu also invited a lot of contacts of friends whom she met after work. Most of Ning Wan didn't know each other, and she went to social exchange business cards as soon as she entered the venue. She just grabbed Fu Zheng and went to a table with few people to eat first.
"Fortunately, there is no danger!" Ning Wan ate a raw oyster, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help resenting again, "Shi Wu said that I have never eaten Xinyue seafood, yes, I just haven't eaten it!" After finishing talking, she ate another one in venting her anger, "It's delicious! Since it's here, I'm going to pay for it!"
While eating, she also gave Fu Zheng: "You also eat some, your performance was too good just now! If you think you have no future as a lawyer in the future, consider switching to the film and television industry. You look good, I think it's okay. !"
Ning Wan was very satisfied with Fu Zheng’s performance: "I told you that your ability to react on the spot is really amazing! You can pick up any stalk! I thought I made it too ridiculous and gave you a blow. After all, I came out under the name Weil&Tords..."
It's okay not to mention it. When it comes to the name of Weil&Tords, Fu Zheng's face even shows a subtle disgust: "Why use Weil&Tords? Can't you use Watchtell&Pirkins? And why is it only a few years before it can be promoted?"
Ning Wan almost choked with a mouthful of beef, she glared at Fu Zheng: "You still think I don’t blow enough? Watchtell&Pirkins is the top commercial firm in the United States, do you know the top 1? It’s a bit too much to tell you about leaving here. Exaggerated? And don't say that it took a few years to raise the par, can it be said that you are already the par of the American Capital Institute?!"
"Fu Zheng, although you can understand that you are a master of art and bravery, but you can't be too daring if you have good acting skills. I have a reason to choose Weil&Tords for you. It can be regarded as a large-scale institution in the United States. As a legal practitioner, you can listen to it. It's too famous, but because it's not a top-notch institution and has a large number of personnel, even if Shi Wu wants to investigate, it is estimated that there are not more than one. It is very suitable for fishing in troubled waters to fabricate resumes."
"Do you know the art of counterfeiting? It's the partner of Watchtell&Pirkins. Now that scammers have professional ethics, they wouldn't say so!"
Fu Zheng was not convinced by the lesson he had been taught, but in the end he felt that what he said was reasonable. He pursed his lips and didn't speak any more.
Ning Wan thought for a while, thanking him just now for helping him out, so she softened her tone: "Of course you are really quick-minded. Just now Shi Wu asked you about overseas mergers and acquisitions insurance, and you accidentally used a lot of terminology. It squeezed her down!"
Probably this time the praise has finally reached the point. Fu Zheng raised his voice slightly and stared at Ning Wan: "You said... I was talking nonsense?"
"Yes! But it's okay. Shi Wu doesn't understand anyway. After all, the legal knowledge in overseas insurance is very deep. A senior lawyer like me only knows a little bit."
Ning Wan coughed and coughed, remembering that Fu Zheng is her new younger brother after all. Today, she relied on the younger brother to save the field. It was a bit shameless, so she tried to pretend to be respectful and commented: "Although what you just said is full of loopholes, you can’t Investigate deeply, but it sounds like that, more than enough to fool laymen..."
Ning Wan didn't know if her bragging was effective. She looked up and saw Fu Zheng looking at her with a subtle smile: "Well, how are you familiar with it... You know so much." Ah, but you can't be proud. For overseas insurance, you still have to take a look at it." Fu Zheng paused, "After all, I'm still waiting for you to teach me."
It's just that even though it was a compliment, Ning Wan always felt that Fu Zheng's tone was a little teasing, and the tone of her speech was so long and meaningful.
Look, it must be the sequelae of entering the drama just now.
Ning Wan didn't think too much, and took two more oysters to Fu Zheng: "This is so fresh, and it is absolutely impossible to eat at my level of consumption. You should eat two more oysters now."
Although Fu Zheng didn't look very interested, he still gave a mouthful of face, but soon he vomited it out again, with a look of difficulty saying: "Where is this oyster fresh? It is not fresh, at least one day away. "
Ning Wan smiled directly: "Okay, you don't get too into the show, you can stop it, don't pretend to be forced, no one is paying attention to us now."
…
