"A regular lawyer?"

Lu Rang grabbed Shang Wu's wrist and pulled her hand away from his.

He looked down at her: "The top lawyer at Dingfeng Law Firm is so ordinary in your eyes. Miss Shang, who are you looking down on?"

Shang Wu was stunned for a moment.

She had forgotten.

As Dingfeng's living advertisement and mainstay, Lu Rang's name should already be well-known in the business world.

A company like Liujin Group, which requires a legal team year-round, must have asked Lu Rang for a lot of help, so it's normal for them to give him face.

Shang Wu stepped back: "I'm sorry."

Lu Rang glanced at her, said nothing, opened the door and went out.

After everyone left, Shang Wu also left through the stairwell.

To avoid attracting attention, she didn't drive, but instead found a coffee shop nearby, sat down, and logged into a live streaming website on her phone.

Indeed, Liujin Group made this bidding process quite sensational by conducting a live online tender.

After the bidding meeting began, Zhou Yanci's team was last in line.

After the others finished introducing their project plans, Zhou Yanci smiled confidently and nodded to Xiao Dong.

Xiao Dong immediately got up, went up on stage, opened the PPT and began to explain.

They've arrived.

Shang Wu sat up straight and looked at it intently.

As the plan progressed, the CEO of Liujin Group and others showed satisfied smiles, as if they had already decided who would win the project.

Finally, Xiao Dong began his concluding remarks.

"I believe the collaboration between Liujin Group and Chengzhou Group will be the most cost-effective one, since Liujin always chooses the lowest-priced teams as its partners..."

At this point, Xiao Dong suddenly stopped talking.

Zhou Yanci's expression immediately changed as she looked at the expression on Liujin's face.

The CEO of Liujin narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Xiao Dong.

They're all shrewd business people; how could they not understand the sarcasm in those words?

On the surface, it seemed like they were praising him, but the unspoken message was that Liujin was stingy, only caring about who offered the lowest price and how much money they could save, regardless of their actual ability.

Xiao Dong swallowed hard, completely panicked at this moment.

He could sense that the gazes coming from all directions were a bit strange, but he could only grit his teeth and continue reading from the script.

"Expensive? Your company is one of the top companies in the industry. Compared to Ai Qing Group, it's even better... Bah! Yes, it's much better than Ai Qing! No, Ai Qing and Liujin are not comparable..."

Xiao Dong was about to burst into tears.

As is well known, Ai Qing and Liu Jin are bitter rivals, and their reputation in the industry has always been terrible; they are now on the verge of bankruptcy.

He was too nervous just now and subconsciously read the content of the script. Only after he finished reading did he realize that something was wrong and hurriedly changed his words.

However, such behavior only makes it seem like he has a guilty conscience.

The CEO of Liujin had turned completely gloomy and coldly looked at Zhou Yanci beside him.

"Before the meeting started, General Manager Zhou told me that this was a plan that you and the project team personally came up with. So, you also personally wrote the draft of your concept?"

Zhou Yanci's expression was gloomy. He glanced at Xiao Dong and felt like killing him.

He immediately stood up: "That's not how it is, the content of this manuscript..."

"That's enough. It seems that President Zhou still lacks sincerity in cooperating with Liujin."

The CEO of Liujin stood up with his hands behind his back, and the thought that this was being broadcast live made him even angrier.

"Considering all factors, Project Nine is still the most suitable for our cooperation, and Project Nine can be approved."

The team working on Project Nine immediately stood up and cheered.

In the live stream, Zhou Yanci clenched her fists, her eyes filled with suppressed anger and anxiety.

Shang Wu quietly admired the scene in the coffee shop, and couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

The CEO of Liujin Group can't stand the words "Aiqing Group" and prefers to be praised in public; he's very concerned about his image.

Zhou Yanci's assistant saying such things in public is a slap in the face to the CEO of Liujin.

There's no way Liujin would give the cooperation opportunity to Chengzhou Group.

Zhou Yanci probably never imagined that the manuscript he had reviewed and approved through multiple layers of checks would be completely altered in the end.

Shang Wu was satisfied. After finishing the last sip of coffee, she got up and left.

When she returned to the company, Zhou Yanci had already gone home.

As soon as Shang Wu entered the company, she noticed that everyone's expressions were not quite right.

The receptionist, in particular, looked at Shang Wu as if she were her savior, giving her a tearful, aggrieved expression.

"General Manager Zhou is furious today. He's yelling at the entire project team. Everyone's terrified! Director Shang, you need to go check on him!"

Shang Wu smiled and said, "Okay."

She went straight upstairs, and as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she heard Zhou Yanci's stern reprimand coming from the president's office.

"Do you even realize how utterly humiliated I've become? This matter must be thoroughly investigated to find out who did it!"

"The CEO of Liujin will not give Chengzhou another chance. You are very satisfied with losing such a long-term partner!"

Shang Wu narrowed her eyes and saw that the project team members were being scolded so badly that they couldn't even lift their heads. She immediately knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Zhou Yanci pressed down on the corner of the table in anger to calm herself down.

"What happened? I just arrived and found the project office empty. They said you were giving a speech here."

Shang Wu came in, looking at Zhou Yanci with concern, and naturally walked over to help him pat his back.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her coming.

Everyone knows that within the Chengzhou Group, the only person who can appease Zhou Yanci is Shang Wu.

Zhou Yanci's expression softened slightly, but she still snorted coldly.
