Chapter 1 Your pickup line is outdated.



After hanging up the phone, Tang Jinyu went straight to a seat.

She ordered a coffee, then took out a stack of documents from her bag and began to read them carefully.

A short while later, a man in a suit walked into the coffee shop.

Their arrival immediately caused quite a stir.

The main reason is that he's handsome, with both good looks and a great height.

The man looked around, glanced at the photo on his phone, and then walked straight toward Tang Jinyu.

A deep voice sounded in Tang Jinyu's ear, and then a dark shadow blocked her view.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Tang?"

Tang Jinyu looked up after hearing the voice, and frowned the moment she saw He Danqing. "It's you?"

He Danqing was visibly taken aback. She put her phone aside and sat down opposite Tang Jinyu. "Am I that famous now? Even you know me?"

Tang Jinyu didn't answer; her memory suddenly returned to three months ago.

She met this person while on a business trip abroad.

At that time, he had a woman by his side and a bunch of friends around him, all dressed and made up in a very strange way.

The key point is that they staged a scene in the street where the wife beat up the mistress. Because it caused quite a stir at the time, Tang Jinyu had a particularly deep impression of He Danqing's face.

The memory abruptly ended. Tang Jinyu met He Danqing's gaze, resting her chin on her hand without moving. After a long while, she leisurely said, "Generally speaking, people who wear suits and ties are..."

A smile suddenly appeared on the man's lips as he pressed on, asking, "What is it?"

Tang Jinyu stared at him and said, word by word, "A beast in human clothing."

He Danqing probably never imagined that helping a friend abroad would lead to such a misunderstanding by Tang Jinyu.

Upon hearing the words "a beast in human clothing," He Danqing's expression changed slightly. He then extended his hand and said softly, "Although I don't know where you've seen me before, let me reintroduce myself. I am He Danqing from Hanmo Group."

Tang Jinyu glanced at it and also extended her hand, "Jianing Law Firm, Tang Jinyu."

The moment their fingers clasped tightly, He Danqing felt that her hands were very cold, the kind of coldness below normal body temperature.

He Danqing was so engrossed in his own world that he completely forgot about the current situation.

Tang Jinyu watched as the man politely shook her hand, then held onto her hand tightly, refusing to let go. She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. He, are you planning to keep shaking hands like this without discussing business?"

Upon hearing this, He Danqing immediately released his hand, coughed twice, and said, "I apologize for my rudeness. Please have a seat, Miss Tang."

He Danqing withdrew his hand and continued, "Miss Tang, regarding the 'beast in human clothing' you mentioned, I think you might have some misunderstanding about me. I am indeed dressed in a suit and tie, but I am a good person."

Tang Jinyu withdrew her gaze, sat down in her seat again, tidied up the scattered documents on the table, and casually pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on her nose. Her tone was unhurried, "Really? Maybe I misread it back then."

As Tang Jinyu spoke, He Danqing was sizing her up. She had her hair in a high ponytail, her eyes were deep and dark, revealing no emotion, and her bangs were tucked behind her ears.

Fair skin, so smooth and delicate it seems to break at a touch.

Hearing Tang Jinyu's words, he was about to ask what was going on when he heard Tang Jinyu start talking about official business.

"To make a long story short, my senior brother had already called me before I came and briefly explained the situation."

"To be honest, I don't have much experience with corporate disputes, but my personal opinion is that I advocate for private settlements rather than resorting to legal means."

“I’ve learned that Hanmo Group is a family business with a century-long history. So, you probably don’t want to get involved in this kind of dispute, do you?”

After Tang Jinyu finished speaking, she looked at He Danqing.

As a result, the latter glanced at Tang Jinyu at first, and then started playing with his phone on his own.

Hearing that there was no more movement, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Are you done?"

Tang Jinyu rubbed her forehead wearily. Before coming here, she had been working non-stop for more than ten hours.

As far as she knew, the man in front of her had only recently returned to the country. He was a complete playboy with no management experience and knew nothing about business operations.

Even with no patience, Tang Jinyu maintained excellent professional conduct when dealing with walking RMB banknotes.

"kindness."

He Danqing put away his phone, straightened his clothes, and seemed ready to speak at length.

Tang Jinyan waited patiently for a while, and then heard the person on the other end say unhurriedly, "I just came back and I don't know much about many things in China. The person who recommended you to me said that you have handled similar corporate disputes before and won them very well, so I thought you might as well take over the whole thing."

"Just tell us what to do, and we'll do it."

He Danqing had an attitude of "you can do whatever you want," and while he was polite and humble on the surface, his words made people feel uncomfortable.

“Mr. He, I am the lawyer for this case, not someone from your company. All my opinions are only for this case, so I will not consider your suggestions.”

"From both a moral and logical standpoint, I need to communicate with the person involved in a timely manner."

"The implication is that you can't stay out of this."

Tang Jinyu was concise and to the point, explaining everything that needed to be said to He Danqing.

He Danqing twirled her phone, then belatedly said, "Oh, is that so? No problem then, I'll just be an eavesdropper."

He Danqing spoke with a half-smile, then looked at Tang Jinyu with a beaming smile.

"In that case, Mr. He, I understand your situation now. I will discuss it with my senior brother when I get back."

Let's stop here for today.

After Tang Jinyu finished speaking, she stood up, took out two RMB bills from her wallet, and placed them on the table.

He took two steps forward when suddenly someone tugged at his sleeve.

Tang Jinyu turned around and saw He Danqing tugging at her clothes, and immediately frowned.

"Is there anything else?"

He Danqing said with a hint of helplessness, "I'm not some monster, you don't have to be so bitter and resentful every time you talk to me?"

Tang Jinyu raised her hand and shook off He Danqing, "I really don't have a very good impression of good-for-nothing rich kids."

"If it weren't for the fact that your father and my senior brother's families are old friends, I wouldn't have taken your company's business dispute case."

Tang Jinyu paused for a moment, her brows and eyes showing signs of weariness.

She didn't want to continue wasting time talking nonsense with He Danqing here.

When He Danqing first stood in front of her, his first impression was not bad, but after exchanging a few words, he realized that this person was completely uneducated and could only rely on her family's wealth to get by.

Tang Jinyu couldn't understand why the head of the He family, who was only around fifty years old and in good health, would simply hand over the reins to his son.

“I know that Miss Tang is a very well-known figure in the legal profession. She is quite accomplished at such a young age.”

Tang Jinyun let her bangs down, her words dripping with indifference, "What does this have to do with Mr. He?"

He Danqing comes from a wealthy family and has always been pampered since childhood. This is the first time she has been speechless and at a loss for words.

Even so, He Danqing still smiled awkwardly but elegantly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask for your contact information so that we can contact each other next time."

“Mr. He, your way of striking up a conversation is outdated. I suggest you come up with a better excuse next time, at least to make it seem like you’re being sincere.”

After Tang Jinyu finished speaking, she walked straight outside. He Danqing was stunned for a moment, then put away her phone and quickly followed her.

He Danqing had to admit that since returning from abroad, apart from the mess his father had left him, he had encountered a lot of interesting people.

I remember when Qi Yi told me, he mentioned that Tang Jinyu was a woman unlike any other.

Their behavior is unique, and it's generally impossible to discern their emotions.

When I'm most skilled, it's when I can see the light through the fog.

After graduation, she was recruited by Qi Yi to join his law firm. In just a few years, Tang Jinyu's name is no longer that of a fresh-faced newcomer to the workplace.

He Danqing followed closely behind Tang Jinyu as they left the coffee shop, then asked, "Miss Tang, shall I take you home?"
