The next day, Xu Wan went to the company with her dress as planned, trying to finish her work during working hours.
Jiang Tingzhou and she agreed to meet at 6:30.
At six o'clock, Xu Wan began to change clothes and put on makeup.
At 6:20, she received a message from Jiang Tingzhou: "My car is downstairs."
Xu Wan carried her bag downstairs.
She checked every car parked on the roadside outside the law firm, but couldn't find any that were there to pick her up.
Tianyuan Law Firm has been developing well in recent years, and just moved to a new office building last year.
The location is not far from the old office building.
Standing by the roadside, Xu Wan suddenly had a bold guess. She hailed a taxi and gave the driver the old address of Tianyuan Law Firm.
The taxi arrived quickly.
Xu Wan saw a white Alphard minivan parked in the spot where Jiang Tingzhou used to park.
She gestured for the driver to stop the car there.
Before the taxi even pulled up, Xu Wan's phone rang.
It was a message from a man: "Ms. Xu, you're late."
Xu Wan paid the fare and got out of the car. She put her phone in her bag, straightened her coat, lifted her skirt, and walked to the van in her high heels. She gently knocked on the window.
The car door opens horizontally.
The early spring sunset was a soft, warm hue. Xu Wan was standing right where the light shone down, and her white Chanel-style jacket and delicate features were bathed in the gentle glow, making her stunningly beautiful and captivating.
This also contrasts sharply with the dim lighting inside the car.
However, the man still repeated the message with a stern face, "Ms. Xu, you are late."
“Mr. Ryan, it’s not that I’m late, it’s that you’ve come to the wrong place. Tianyuan Law Firm moved offices last year. I don’t know why you’re here waiting for me.”
The woman stood under the car and calmly recounted the incident.
But it's as if it's silently revealing some truth.
The man remained expressionless, simply asking, "Aren't you getting in the car?"
"No matter what, I was late. Someone of Mr. Ryan's status should hate it when people are late. Since you didn't agree, I don't know whether I should get in the car or not."
Xu Wan spoke very seriously.
The man glanced down at his watch. "Come on up, we're going to be late."
Xu Wan bent down to get into the car.
The entire car had been modified; the original middle seat had been removed, and the man's wheelchair was placed there, leaving only the back seats.
Xu Wan sat in the back row, looking at the man's profile, and said, "Thank you for your cooperation yesterday, Mr. Ryan."
The man gave a faint "hmm".
Xu Wan then asked, "Is there anything you need me to do tonight?"
"Just a simple dinner. Please help me push my wheelchair and fetch my things," the man said.

The van quickly drove to the private club mentioned in the previous information.
The car was parked in the parking lot outside. A waiter came over to open the door, and the driver lowered the ramp to ensure the man's wheelchair landed properly. After that, Xu Wan stood behind the man and pushed him.
The wheelchair is very high-end, and it doesn't feel tiring to push.
Soon, the two entered the banquet hall, where many people had already arrived.
But when people saw him, their expressions didn't change much; they were more puzzled about who he was.
Many people know Ryan's identity, but very few have actually seen him in person.
The man said to Xu Wan, "Go forward and see Mr. He, the one in the brown suit."
Xu Wan knew that person; he was the CEO of a technology company in Beicheng, named He Yuanjiu.
She pushed the man over.
When Mr. He saw Jiang Tingzhou approaching, he immediately brought over a glass of champagne. “Mr. Ryan! I never expected you to grace us with your presence. I am truly honored.”
The vast majority of the men present were colleagues, and upon hearing the name "Ryan," they all gathered around to greet him and hand out business cards.
Before long, Xu Wan had collected a large number of business cards.
The crowd had thinned out a bit, and Xu Wan was just about to push Jiang Tingzhou to another place...
"Xu Wan?!"
A shrill female voice rang out.
Xu Wan looked in the direction of the voice and it took her a few seconds to recognize that the person who called her was Sun Jiayi.
