Chapter 45 Selling Yourself Requires Choosing the Right Person
When Zhou Yanci saw the injury on Lu Rang's arm, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
The car door was completely deformed from the impact, yet he only suffered an arm injury?
Shang Wu glanced at him indifferently: "Why are you here?"
"I saw the news online and thought something terrible had happened."
Zhou Yanci frowned, stepped forward and looked Lu Rang up and down, and said in a deep voice, "Awu's employees are my employees. How about this, I'll give you some compensation and also get you a membership card for the sanatorium, so you can rest and recover in peace."
He adopted a considerate and gentle demeanor, looking at Shang Wu: "I'll find you a suitable legal advisor for the company."
Lu Rang's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at Shang Wu.
Under the gaze of both eyes, Shang Wu frowned slightly and said without hesitation, "Attorney Lu's injury is not serious. He can move around freely after a few days of rest. There is no need to change legal counsel."
"Not changing?" Zhou Yanci was taken aback.
Shang Wu smiled and said, "Yes, we've already signed the contract, so there's no need to bother finding anyone else. It's alright, I believe Attorney Lu will recover soon."
Lu Rang raised an eyebrow, not denying it.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanci's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
He gave Lu Rang a deep look, almost unable to hold back: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Awu, come with me first."
Shang Wu was dragged out by Zhou Yanci.
As soon as they entered the corridor, Zhou Yanci couldn't wait to ask, "He's in this state, aren't you going to change consultants?"
Shang Wu asked in confusion, "Didn't I just tell you? The contract has already been signed, and he's not so injured that he can't work. Let him continue as a consultant, it's fine."
Zhou Yanci sighed disapprovingly and took her hand: "Awu, you're too naive. You don't understand the intricacies of this situation. Attorney Lu has handled so many cases, he must have a lot of enemies. Maybe this isn't just a simple car accident. Don't keep someone like that around; it's very dangerous."
Shang Wu paused, looking at his worried expression, and suddenly found it amusing.
After directing and starring in it himself, he still put on such a thoughtful appearance; she sometimes had to admire this man's acting skills.
Her voice was gentle: "Then let's call the police. There are reporters covering the car accident right now, it's getting a lot of attention. Let's take this opportunity to find out who's behind it, so that Attorney Lu won't have to suffer anymore."
Zhou Yanci was taken aback.
Before he could speak, Shang Wu was about to dial the police and ask them to come and investigate.
Zhou Yanci's heart tightened, and he immediately grabbed her hand.
"Don't."
Shang Wu looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yanci smiled and said, "I already investigated when I came, but there are no results yet. Wait for my news."
"But……"
"Alright, can't we just let him continue being your legal counsel? Stop dwelling on this and wasting time."
Zhou Yanci failed to accomplish what she wanted to do, and after getting into the car, she glanced sideways at Xiao Dong, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
Xiao Dong awkwardly touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed and guilty.
He felt the most pressure because he hadn't been able to get things done.
Shang Wu took in the interaction between the two and asked softly, "Yan Ci, last time you said you would help my parents find a place to live so they could move there in a while, where is that house?"
“I haven’t had time to find a place yet, but I own a lot of properties. I’ll have Xiao Dong sort them out for you. You can see which place your uncle and aunt like, and I’ll just give the house to them.”
Zhou Yanci gazed at Shang Wu with deep affection and reached out to gently ruffle her hair.
"Don't worry, I will absolutely make sure your parents don't have a bad stay or eat well. Don't you trust me on that?"
Shang Wu looked at him and smiled, "Of course I believe you, but it would be great if we could get a house in Wanhu."
Zhou Yanci's smile froze.
He hesitated and said, "Wanhu? Why did you suddenly bring up this place?"
Shang Wu blinked seriously: "Wanhu is the most famous scenic spot in Lincheng. The surrounding houses are well-built, the air is fresh, and the view is great. Of course, I want my parents to live there."
Zhou Yanci looked at her seriously: "Then do you know that all the houses in Wanhu belong to the Yu family?"
Shang Wu smiled, "I know, that's why I asked if you had a solution."
She was genuinely curious about how Zhou Yanci managed to contact the Yu family.
Zhou Yanci's gaze swept over Shang Wu's red lips, and she smiled ambiguously: "Want to know? Then please me."
He pursed his lips, his expression full of implication.
Shang Wu's expression changed slightly, and she almost vomited from disgust.
She feigned displeasure: "Fine, I don't think you really want to help me anyway, and you keep saying my parents are your parents."
Seeing her throwing a tantrum, Zhou Yanci's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Shang Wu's personality is unpredictable, sometimes cold and sometimes warm. She relies more on reason to do things and is very sensible and considerate. She rarely acts spoiled or capricious towards him.
Now, by chance, Zhou Yanci does something unexpected and finds it refreshing.
It would be better if Shang Wu's personality were ever-changing, and even better if she possessed some of the gentle and considerate qualities of a woman from Jiangnan who was dormant within her.
Zhou Yanci almost immediately compromised: "How could I know anyone in the Yu family? But I have a college classmate who works for the Yu family as an assistant in their asset management team. He rented a house from the Yu family and then sublet it to me."
"So that's how it is."
Shang Wu casually asked, "What's your classmate's name?"
"Pan Yulong, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Shang Wu silently memorized the name and sighed, "If only I could secure a partnership with the Yu family. I wonder who would be lucky enough to have the opportunity to come into contact with a family like that."
"Let's not even think about it. The Yu family doesn't easily cooperate with any company. Their businesses all have fixed partners. Besides, the Yu family isn't involved in jewelry."
Zhou Yanci never even considered marrying into the Yu family.
Throughout Lincheng, there are very few families qualified to cooperate with the Yu family.
Shang Wu pondered for a moment: "Do you know where I can run into the Yu family? Perhaps I can try exporting jewelry overseas through the Yu family's shipping business."
"Alright, alright." Zhou Yanci was extremely helpless. "You should stop dreaming about such things. The Yu family has never cooperated with outsiders in all these years. If you can get this done, I'll hand over the entire Chengzhou business to you."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu's eyes flashed: "Then tell me first, where can I run into the Yu family? Anything is possible."
Zhou Yanci had no choice but to say after a moment of thought, "Why don't you go to the porcelain shop and ask the owner there? I heard that there are a few people in the Yu family who are particularly fond of collecting porcelain, and I've been there before."
Shang Wu wrote down all the clues she had gathered.
After getting rid of Zhou Yanci, she returned to the hospital.
Shang Wu was carrying the tonics and fruit and was about to go in when she suddenly heard a woman talking in the ward.
"Lu Rang, do you hate seeing me that much? I told you, if you're willing to be my boyfriend, I'll give you all the compensation I received in my divorce."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wu, ever the gossip, turned slightly to the side and peeked over.
A woman dressed in very expensive clothes stood by the bed, looking at Lu Rang with eager eyes.
Lu Rang remained expressionless, his eyes filled with impatience: "I'm a lawyer, and litigating is my job. If you keep bothering me, I'll have no choice but to call the police."
"So what if I want to date you? You don't even have a girlfriend. It's just like going to work; you're just taking my money and spending time with me!" the woman persisted.
Lu Rang slowly exhaled, his brow furrowing slightly: "Disappear from my sight, or I'll call security."
Shang Wu almost burst out laughing when she heard that.
Just as Yan Yue had said, Lu Rang was indeed afraid of being relentlessly pursued.
They can't even say no to someone like that.
Shang Wu coughed lightly and went straight in.
"Honey, who is this?"
She went in carrying the tonics and fruit, and smiled at the woman.
"Did you come to see my boyfriend?"
Lu Rang paused and looked up at her.
The woman stared at her in astonishment, unable to believe it: "You, you're Attorney Lu's girlfriend?"
"yes."
Shang Wu wrapped her arms around Lu Rang's neck and leaned on his shoulder.
Her hair carried a faint fig scent as it gently brushed against Lu Rang's chin.
Lu Rang's body stiffened, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
The woman grew anxious: "It can't be real! Attorney Lu has never said he has a girlfriend. Did he send you here to fob me off?"
“Lu Rang and I just officially became a couple yesterday, and he hasn’t had a chance to tell you yet.”
Shang Wu hooked her fingers around Lu Rang's tie and gave it a gentle tug: "Didn't I tell you to tell everyone quickly, so that no one will bother you?"
The woman's face turned green upon hearing this, and she gritted her teeth: "Attorney Lu, is she your girlfriend?"
Shang Wu turned her head and winked at Lu Rang at close range.
She's gone to such lengths to help, surely Lu Rang wouldn't be ungrateful?
Seeing the woman's disbelief, Lu Rang wrapped his arm around Shang Wu's waist.
"Yes, she's my girlfriend."
Shang Wu was forced to stay close to him, and began to feel a little uncomfortable.
She tried to retreat, but the hand on her waist tightened its grip, preventing her from moving.
The woman gripped her bag tightly, furious: "You just said you had no plans to date, and now you have a girlfriend? You'll do anything to get rid of me, fine, you just wait!"
She turned and stormed off.
Shang Wu frowned as she looked towards the doorway: "What is she going to do?"
"Is this important?" Lu Rang asked her quietly.
Shang Wu then realized that she was still holding Lu Rang's neck, coughed lightly, and got up.
"Um, I was just trying to help you, please don't misunderstand."
Lu Rang casually straightened his tie and said in a low voice, "Hmm, you acted quite well."
"That's right."
After Shang Wu finished speaking, she didn't know how to respond, and felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.
She coughed lightly.
"By the way, don't you like money? Why don't you agree to let someone pay you to stay for a month?"
Lu Rang glanced at her and said, "I don't sell myself."
Shang Wu: "Alright, Attorney Lu is indeed aloof."
Lu Rang's eyes flickered slightly: "Actually, it depends on the person."
"What do you mean?" Shang Wu asked, puzzled.
Lu Rang looked away and said calmly, "No."
Shang Wu didn't pay any attention and handed him a business card.
"This is my former driver. Sometimes when I've been drinking, I'll ask him to drive me home. I'll have him drive my car to take you back later. I have to go to Wanhu."
Lu Rang's eyes darkened, and he looked up at her. "Go to Wanhu? That's the Yu family's territory."
"So you know about the Yu family." Shang Wu smiled. "I'll try my luck; maybe I'll run into a member of the Yu family."
Lu Rang frowned, a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "The Yu family is just keeping a low profile, not avoiding the world. Perhaps you have already encountered them."
