"Attorney Lu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lu Rang glanced at the flower basket: "Send a delivery person to return the items exactly as they were."

"Ah, is this President Shang's order?" The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lu Rang narrowed his eyes and stared directly at them.

“It’s my order, so you won’t listen to it?” Lu Rang asked.

The receptionist was startled and quickly shook her head.

"Delivery fees, and your compensation."

A stack of banknotes was placed in front of them.

Lu Rang turned and left.

The two receptionists' eyes lit up as they stuffed several thousand yuan into their pockets.

"My goodness, Attorney Lu is so generous! He's always by President Shang's side, he must also dislike Mr. Zhou."

"That's for sure. He's definitely on President Shang's side. But speaking of which, Attorney Lu is really handsome. It's just that his personality is a bit scary. Otherwise, he and our President Shang would be a perfect match."

Lu Rang hadn't gone far. Upon hearing the words "perfect match," he paused for a moment, then got into the car.

8 PM.

The two had arranged to have dinner with Wang Qizheng in a private room.

Shang Wu specially wore a moon-white long dress, which made her look gentle and elegant, and she exuded an intellectual beauty.

Lu Rang glanced at it a couple more times, then subtly looked away.

There was some commotion outside the private room.

Wang Qizheng walked in and his eyes lit up when he saw Shang Wu.

"President Shang, I've only ever seen you and President Zhou on the news before. I never expected to meet you in person; you're even more beautiful than celebrities!"

As he spoke, he reached out his large hand.

Shang Wu smiled and shook hands with him, but he held her hand for a few more seconds, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She quickly withdrew her hand and turned to introduce Lu Rang to him.

"This is Attorney Lu, our company's legal counsel."

"Oh, Attorney Lu." Wang Qizheng's attitude cooled down considerably, and his smile faded. "Attorney Lu is also a very handsome man."

"No, no, I'm not as handsome as you." Shang Wu blurted out the flattering words, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Rang's body suddenly stiffen.

She almost couldn't hold back her laughter and sat down.

Wang Qizheng was very pleased: "President Shang, you invited me to dinner today, is there something you want to tell me?"

Shang Wu's eyes flickered slightly as she picked up the wine pot, stood up, and poured him some wine.

She chuckled softly, "We haven't eaten yet, let's eat first, Mr. Wang. Look at all the delicacies I've prepared especially for you, you should at least taste them first to see if they're salty enough."

Shang Wu's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

For so many years, anyone who mentions the business case avoids it like the plague.

So many top lawyers were involved in this case back then, and now if anyone dares to say that the business has a problem, it's like slapping those lawyers in the face.

Nobody wants to offend so many people at once.

When facing Wang Qizheng, she wouldn't dare mention a single word unless she got him thoroughly drunk and happy.

Wang Qizheng saw several waiters come in and place hot, delicious food on the table, so he picked up his chopsticks and started to arrange them.

"Yes, yes, I've always wanted to try this restaurant, but it's too expensive. You know, people like us with such meager salaries, how could we possibly afford a place like this?"

Shang Wu glanced at his greasy face as he ate and chuckled dryly.

"Yes, you've gotten so thin. You should eat more to get some nutrition. Here, let me toast you."

Wang Qizheng put down his chopsticks and drank with her.

Lu Rang sat to the side, watching as Shang Wu and Wang Qizheng drank two glasses of baijiu in the blink of an eye, and Shang Wu started calling him "Brother Wang" over and over again, his eyes growing darker and darker.

It wasn't until after the third cup that Shang Wu noticed Wang Qizheng's face was slightly flushed from the wine that she dared to bring up what she wanted to do.

"Brother Wang, I'm here to see you because, looking across the entire Inspectorate, no one is more capable or more professional than you. So I'd like to ask you for a small favor."

Wang Qizheng's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "Sure, tell me, I'll definitely help you if it's something I can do."

He patted Shang Wu's hand: "We're friends now, so just tell me what's easy to do."

Shang Wu remained calm, withdrew her hand, and handed him a bank card.

"What if this matter is related to the business?"

Upon hearing those words, Wang Qizheng's expression completely changed.

He stood up, his lecherous, wine-drinking demeanor transforming into a wary and shrewd one.

He said coldly, with his hands behind his back, "Mr. Shang, isn't that a bit unfair? I only came to have a meal with you because I consider you a friend, and you bring up such a big issue right away. Are you trying to harm me on purpose?"

Shang Wu was stunned for a moment: "I..."

“The merchant’s case has already been concluded after multiple trials. Isn’t it a bit delusional for you to bring it up again now?” Wang Qizheng interrupted coldly.

Shang Wu stood up.

"Mr. Wang, please don't be angry. I don't mean to make things difficult for you, nor do I want to reopen the case. I just want to find the names of the people in charge back then. Just give me a few names. I really didn't want to trouble you any further."

Wang Qizheng narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"That won't do either. How can I just reveal my colleague's name?"

Shang Wu pursed her lips and had no choice but to resort to her trump card.

“I heard you’re having trouble getting your daughter transferred to another school. I have an investment in Songchuan Noble School. Just say the word and I can get your daughter transferred there in a week at most.”

Her gaze was intense as she looked at Wang Qizheng.

This man seems easier to talk to than the others.

Even if he doesn't indulge in wine and women, he should be able to justify his actions by citing his daughter's education.

Seeing her sincere expression, Wang Qizheng's eyes flickered, and his gaze fell on the white wine pot on the table.

"If you finish this cup of wine, I'll agree."
