Chapter 390: A Waste of Money

."She was tied up and unable to move her hands, but she laughed.Zhao Tingxing was amused by her laughter, "What are you laughing at"She languidly and contentedly answered, “Pretty good.”Zhao Tingxing...Lu Kuo is a typical rich kid, good at everything from eating and drinking to playing and having fun. He's also quite loyal to his friends. Since he wanted to support Tinglan, he naturally had to put on a good show.

Shu Tinglan was working when he suddenly felt something was different in the office. He looked up and saw Lu Kuo standing at the door of his office, dressed in a suit and looking very professional. He usually wore casual clothes, making him look lazy and carefree. Now, he was wearing a sharp suit, his hair even styled with gel. He was already handsome, but now that his face and features were more prominent, he looked even more handsome. He even had a bit of Zhuo Yu'an's elite air about him.

This isn't like him, Shu Tinglan couldn't help but smile. Only then did she realize that Lan Xiaoshan was beside Lu Kuo. It turned out that when he came to the law firm just now, he went straight to find Lan Xiaoshan and asked him to have dinner.

As for the young master of Tingjing Finance, Lan Xiaoshan, his girlfriend had also shared quite a bit about him. He used to be quite a wild child but has settled down in the past two years, going to work at Tingjing Finance every day and diligently fulfilling his duties. Everyone knows that he is the heir apparent of Tingjing Finance.

He proactively came to her door to invite her out for a meal, which still left Lan Xiaoshan somewhat surprised. She was unsure what he was trying to pull. He had just finished reading an email from Li Anna harshly criticizing Shu Tinglan in his office. As the head of the law firm, he had seen many internal conflicts and didn't care much after reading it. Instead, he felt a little less favorably towards Li Anna. She lacked a big picture view and was too focused on trivial matters. A person like this would find it difficult to manage effectively.

The main character in this email is this prince, so he was thinking, when he came to the door, was he looking for Li Anna or Shu Tinglan He was also a little curious.

Shu Tinglan found Lu Kuo's performance amusing, looking so utterly different from his usual carefree self. Lu Kuo was truly talented; he perfectly embodied the dignified and aloof demeanor of a prince, completely abandoning his usual nonchalant air.

Li Anna also saw Lu Kuo come in and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Lu Kuo didn't even glance at her, instead addressing Shu Tinglan familiarly: "Shu Tinglan, are you stupid Is this how you greet an old classmate"

Three words, clear as day, echoed throughout every corner of the office. Today, every lawyer in the office heard them loud and clear. Shu Tinglan and Lu Kuò are old classmates

Li Anna's face changed, turning a little pale.

As if knowing everyone's doubts, Lu Kuo explained.

"My friend Shu and I were not only classmates in high school, but also very good friends. As she's new here, she wanted to thank everyone for their kindness. So today, I invited you all out for dinner, and Blue Lawyer will be joining us too."

Exaggerated people always do things so exaggeratedly!

Shu Tinglan called him, wanting to just explain things to Lan Xiaoshan. But the guy went overboard, announcing he'd treat everyone in the group to dinner as if they had some scandalous secret affair. What a lunatic!

Lu Kuai's eyes told her that there was an unspoken "affair" between us. If he didn't handle this well, the person who truly had an affair with her might find a way to make a big deal out of it and get him killed.

Lu Kuò, this is all for who Do you think I'm willing to eat with you people Lowering myself!

Li Anna's face turned even worse, and she didn't care about giving face. She directly refused.

“Sorry, I have a meeting with clients. I’m afraid I can’t go.” He said that and sat back at his desk. This time he had completely lost face. Thinking back from the annual meeting to after Chinese New Year, he had been anxious for Lu Kuo, feeling both happy and upset, it was a joke. Especially yesterday and today, what he had said in front of Shu Tinglan was even more humiliating.

And this Shu Tinglan, since he is a good friend and old classmate of Lu Kuo's, he didn't reveal it at all, watching her make a fool of herself with glee. It shows how cunning he really is.

While other lawyers were reluctant to go, Lu Kuo mentioned that Lawyer Lan would be joining them, so they had no choice but to attend. They were all shrewd individuals and once they followed Lu Kuo and Lawyer Lan's group out of the office and headed to the restaurant, they realized the situation. Getting to know the heir of Tingjing Finance was a worthwhile opportunity, especially since Lu Kuo, true to his name, was very generous. He had taken them to a high-end restaurant where each meal cost thousands. They usually only frequented such establishments with close friends; company team building or gatherings would never be held at this level of luxury.

At midday, he even opened a bottle of red wine worth nearly 100,000 yuan and politely toasted each of them.

"My old classmate has a bit of a temper, so please be patient with her in the future. If she makes a mistake, just come to me and I'll reprimand her."

This was ambiguous and full of double meanings. Shu Tinglan warned him with a glance, "Don't act. It's too much. Right now, she wishes she never met him."

If Lu Kuo could heed her warning, then he wouldn't be Lu Kuo. He was here today to protect her, after all. He would elevate her status, or who knows how Zhu Yunan would torment him next.

After finishing his toast, he continued.

However, Shu Tinglan is a very serious and competent student. Lan Lu, as long as you assign her work, she will definitely complete it perfectly for you.

Lan Xiaoshan naturally nodded in agreement: "Yes, at the beginning, Director Han of the Law Association and Director Xiao of Hongzheng Law Firm both said so. I believe this, and I believe that Lawyer Shu will surely shine brightly at Lanshan Law Firm in the future."

What is this called

Do you want to praise each other Shu Tinglan didn't have the awareness of being the protagonist at all. She wasn't a high-profile person to begin with, and at this moment she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Lan Xiaoshan and several colleagues had been secretly observing Shu Tinglan and Lu Kuo. They were originally skeptical, even thinking it was possible that they had only met yesterday. They thought maybe Lu, the young master, was chasing after her in a high-profile and unconventional way. But now, observing them, although their interactions were not many, and Shu Tinglan looked disgusted and silent, Lu Kuo didn't seem to mind, even going out of his way to please her. Finally, they confirmed that the two were friends who had known each other for many years.

There was just a subtle shift in the air between them. While it seemed like Master Lu might be pursuing her, his actions didn't quite fit that description. Instead, he was incredibly careful and respectful, almost as if he was putting himself below her.

After the meal, their relationship became even more complicated and confusing. The only thing that was certain was that Shu Tinglan had a close relationship with Lu Kuò, the heir apparent of Tíng Jīng Finance. So yesterday, he didn't actually steal Li Anna's clients; rather, Li Anna was being overly sentimental.

The mission was accomplished. Lu Kuo sent Shu Tinglan back to the law firm and boasted,

“How about that Did I give you enough face today”

Shu Tinglan gave him a withering look. "I spent a fortune today."

With that bottle of wine and a lunch, it must have cost almost 200 thousand yuan, right

Lu Kuo burst into laughter: "It's a bit of an expense."

Anyway, it wasn't his that was broken. After ordering, he sent the bill to Zhuo YUAN and Zhuo YUAN paid for it.ntermittently, probably because Southwest had come temporarily and his work hadn't been arranged well." 。When Han Li heard him talking on the phone, she thought to herself that being his subordinate...
