Chapter 56 I'm very relieved

She spoke in a low voice, almost inaudibly.

She was afraid that if she said too much or listened for too long, her heart would waver and she would be unable to help but believe.

Maybe he really is the one who can give her a safe haven.

"Oh."

Sheng Tingzhou chuckled softly.

He slowly turned his head, his gaze sharp as a knife as he stared at her.

He stared at her for a few seconds, then slowly uttered three words.

"coward."

Song Zhiwei frowned, as if she had been hit hard in the chest.

She didn't want to look him in the eye anymore, and she didn't want him to see the shame that flashed in her eyes.

She quickly turned her head and looked out the window at the still-flying snow.

The car drove along the quiet streets.

The streetlights cast a dim, yellowish glow in the snowy night, highlighting the loneliness of the city's winter night.

Finally, the car stopped in front of an inconspicuous private clubhouse in the city center.

The building's exterior was understated, even appearing somewhat old.

But there were several luxury cars parked in front of the door.

Sheng Tingzhou pushed open the car door and got out of the car with nimble movements.

The black coat fluttered gently in the cold wind.

He stood in the snow, his back straight as a pine tree.

Song Zhiwei followed silently behind him, her footsteps crunching softly on the snow.

The two walked one after the other into the clubhouse and through a corridor covered with a deep red carpet.

We then took the elevator and went straight to the top floor.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, the club manager was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Sheng, Ms. Song, please come this way."

The door to the private room was slowly pushed open, revealing soft lighting and elegant furnishings.

Inside sat two middle-aged men, their expressions calm and their clothes impeccable.

There was also a well-dressed young woman with appropriate makeup.

Upon seeing Sheng Tingzhou, the three immediately stood up and greeted him in unison: "Mr. Sheng, hello."

Sheng Tingzhou nodded indifferently, his expression unwavering, and walked straight to the head seat to sit down.

He didn't say much, but simply raised his hand slightly, gesturing for the others to sit down as well.

The three of them then turned their gaze to Song Zhiwei.

Who is this?

One of the middle-aged men asked tentatively.

Song Zhiwei stepped forward, standing upright.

"I am President Sheng's assistant."

"Oh, so you're the assistant."

The three smiled slightly, their faces polite, but the probing look in their eyes did not disappear.

They took their seats, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward for a moment.

The woman in the business suit spoke first.

"President Sheng, we're here to talk to you because something is a bit complicated and involves a lot of people. We really can't make up our minds, so we can only ask you to help us with your advice."

Song Zhiwei sat quietly to the side.

She placed her hands on her knees, her gaze lowered, seemingly unassuming, but in reality, she had her ears wide open.

This woman's name is Lin Wenjun, the eldest daughter of the Lin Group, and she is known in the business world as a talented woman.

Her company is currently embroiled in a transnational lawsuit filed by a foreign regulatory agency that has seized billions of dollars worth of their goods on suspicion of violating international trade regulations, and the goods have yet to be released.

If this issue is not resolved quickly, not only will the cash flow be disrupted, but the group's reputation will also suffer severe damage.

Song Zhiwei's professional instincts were immediately awakened.

She calmly opened her handbag, quietly took out a small voice recorder, and gently pressed the switch.

The metal casing gleamed softly under the light, and she placed it securely in the corner of her bag.

She knew that every word spoken in this situation could become crucial evidence in the future.

The four chatted for about half an hour, taking turns to say something.

The case's background, evidence chain, key witnesses, and potential legal loopholes were analyzed one by one.

As the conversation progressed, the previously vague outline of the case gradually became clearer.

Several core issues were confirmed one by one, and the thinking gradually became clear.

The key points of the case have been mostly sorted out.

Sheng Tingzhou sat on the sofa, his posture upright.

“This case is indeed challenging, involving complex evidence collection procedures and a formidable opposing legal team. However, Feiyun Law Firm has handled several similar economic disputes before, so we have ample experience and are familiar with the procedures. With the right strategy, we have a good chance of winning.”

Lin Wenjun's slightly anxious expression instantly eased after hearing those words.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Sheng. I feel much more at ease knowing you said that. By the way, would it be convenient to add each other on WeChat? It would make communication easier later on."

Having worked in Yancheng's professional circles for many years, she had extensive connections and was well-informed, so she naturally knew Sheng Tingzhou's identity and background.

A partner at Feiyun Law Firm, and a top commercial lawyer in the industry.

Young and promising, with a charming demeanor, and he rarely takes on ordinary cases.

Facing such a heavyweight figure, Lin Wenjun was always confident.

But at this moment, his tone couldn't help but carry a hint of respect.

Sheng Tingzhou did not respond immediately. He casually shifted his gaze from her face to Song Zhiwei in the corner of the private room.

His expression remained cold and stern.

"Assistant Song, come over here and add Ms. Lin on WeChat. You will be in charge of the subsequent handover of materials and meeting arrangements."

"Okay, Mr. Sheng."

Song Zhiwei reacted quickly, immediately got up and walked over, took out her phone from her pocket, pulled up her WeChat QR code, and handed it to Lin Wenjun with both hands.

"Ms. Lin, if there are any matters that need to be discussed in the future, you can contact me directly, and I will handle them as soon as possible."

Lin Wenjun glanced down at her phone screen, scanned the QR code, but then stopped.

She raised her eyes, her gaze returning to Sheng Tingzhou.

"Mr. Sheng, could I add you on WeChat? There are some things I'd like to discuss with you personally."

Sheng Tingzhou raised an eyebrow.

The lighting in the private room was dim and yellowish, with warm light falling obliquely.

Lin Wenjun tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him.

She is a well-known career woman in the industry, decisive and efficient, with flexible methods.

Even in a male-dominated business world, they can carve out their own niche.

At this moment, facing a man like Sheng Tingzhou who is outstanding in appearance and top in ability.

A long-dormant desire to conquer resurfaced within her, giving rise to an impulse to win him over.

Song Zhiwei unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone.

She stood there, the QR code still raised in mid-air, hesitating whether to bring her hand back.

After a long while, Sheng Tingzhou finally spoke coldly.

"Sorry, I never add people on my personal WeChat."

Lin Wenjun paused for a moment, then laughed again, pressing on relentlessly, "Does President Sheng have a WeChat account for work? The kind specifically for handling client matters?"

Sheng Tingzhou parted his thin lips slightly, his expression unchanged, and uttered only two words.

"Need not."

"Oh dear, that's a real shame."

Although Lin Wenjun was disappointed, she still maintained a polite smile on her face.

She shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "But it's good, with Assistant Song around, I feel at ease."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and scanned Song Zhiwei's QR code.

Song Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked down at her phone to tap "accept" to confirm that the friend request had been successfully added.

She quietly put her phone back in her pocket, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Lin Wenjun put away her phone, then suddenly looked up at Sheng Tingzhou with bright eyes.

"Mr. Sheng, are you free tonight? How about we have dinner together, chat over a meal, and maybe even get to know each other beforehand to build rapport for our collaboration?"
