Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
Before Xiaoxiao turned three, she was mainly cared for by Lingya and Xu Pingrong, but Xu Wan also spent most of her time in Beicheng with her.
When Xiaoxiao was three and a half years old, she finally reached the age to go to kindergarten.
Xu Wan also began to accept jobs that required business trips.
A month after Xiaoxiao started kindergarten, Xu Wan took on a divorce case. The client was Fang Ting, the CEO of a technology company. Fang Ting was very busy with her work, and in order to communicate more efficiently, Xu Wan had to cooperate with Fang Ting's schedule.
Fang Ting attended the AI Frontier Technology Exchange Summit in Haicheng, and Xu Wan also flew to Haicheng.
She and Fang Ting had just met and were planning to discuss work when Fang Ting received a phone call and said to Xu Wan, "I'm sorry, Attorney Xu, a very important person has arrived early at the summit, and I need to meet with him. I have to leave now."
After Fang Ting finished speaking, she realized that her behavior was very impolite, so she simply said to Xu Wan, "Why don't you come to the venue with me? This summit is full of industry leaders. I'll introduce you to them. Many people in this circle have questions about this and need to consult. Maybe you can bring in new clients."
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Xu Wan could only agree: "Okay."
Xiaoxiao goes to kindergarten during the day, and both Lingya and Xu Pingrong can put her to sleep at night, so Xu Wan isn't too worried and is prepared to stay overnight in Haicheng.
It's March now. In the northern part of the city, it's still early spring, but in Haicheng, the daytime temperature has already reached 27 or 28 degrees Celsius.
Xu Wan came here wearing an ordinary dress and didn't feel cold at all.
After the two arrived at the venue, Fang Ting kept her promise and introduced her to the industry leaders who were there.
In less than twenty minutes, Xu Wan had collected a full stack of business cards.
While Xu Wan was still sorting through business cards, a commotion broke out in the venue. When she looked up and followed the sound, she could only see a group of people seemingly surrounding someone, making it impossible to see anything else.
It's obvious without even guessing that this is the important person.
Fang Ting took two steps forward, then stepped back. "Never mind, let's wait a bit."
"And this is...?"
Xu Wan craned her neck to look, but she couldn't see anyone.
"There's a new company called Yuanzhou Intelligent Technology that has multiple patents in various artificial intelligence fields. I only recently found out that the CEO is actually Chinese, and his English name is quite ordinary, something like Ryan, which sounds like a middle school student's name. To be honest, this industry summit was organized specifically to invite him. Everyone thought he wouldn't come, but they actually managed to get him here," Fang Ting introduced to Xu Wan.
"This person... is a bit short."
From Xu Wan's angle, everyone around that person was gathered there, but she couldn't see the person at all.
This indicates that the person is not tall.
But when it comes to talented people, their appearance doesn't matter.
Fang Ting shook her head. "What are you thinking? This boss is disabled and uses a wheelchair."
"No wonder." Xu Wan looked regretful. "Even someone as rich and successful as him couldn't heal his leg. It seems that money isn't everything."
"Indeed, but if he wanted to, he could use a machine to enable him to stand and walk. The fact that he doesn't is probably because he doesn't want to. People with such exceptional abilities probably don't care about these things at all."
Even though they had never met, Fang Ting held this man named Ryan in high esteem.
Xu Wan agreed with her idea.
Fang Ting pointed to the crowd and said, "See that person pushing his wheelchair behind him? His name is Ying Gan, also the CEO of a tech company, young and promising. For such an accomplished person to push his wheelchair, you can imagine..."
"What's your name?"
“Ying Gan,” Fang Ting explained with a smile, “Isn’t that a strange name? He also has an English name, but I’m not familiar with him and don’t remember what it is. I only remember this Chinese name.”
“Should be done…”
Xu Wan murmured the name to herself, and finally remembered where she had heard it before.
Several years ago, when she was working at Tianwei because of Dong Yuanyuan's case, she saw Jiang Tingzhou greet her at the company entrance.
Several years have passed in the blink of an eye. Ying Gan seems to be doing quite well, but Jiang Tingzhou is nowhere to be found.
