Chapter 20 Were those people you instructed that night?
"...Thanks." Nan Xia stood up, her face looking rather grim, and took his coat. Would wearing his coat be too conspicuous?
That's better than having someone see that your butt is wet, right?
Nan Xia took off her short black suit jacket and put on his, which was just below her hips and covered her up perfectly.
She unwrapped the sanitary napkin, took one out, put it in the inside pocket of his suit, and went to the bathroom.
Her colleagues outside all looked at her, but Nanxia could only ignore their gazes.
Song Yanzhi went to the tea room to pour her a cup of hot water and then threw the ibuprofen he had bought onto her seat. When Nan Xia returned and saw the hot water and painkillers, she glanced at the man opposite her—
I was actually quite moved.
"Take your medicine and go back. Don't faint here, or people will think I bullied you." His tone remained indifferent and cold, devoid of warmth.
Nanxia took an ibuprofen pill, and looking at the many documents still to be reviewed on the conference table, said, "I'll feel better after taking the medicine. I don't need to go back."
Song Yanzhi glanced at her but didn't say anything more.
"Don't you think Ruifeng's annual profit is a bit low?" she suddenly asked the man opposite her.
"Yes." Song Yanzhi had obviously figured it out long ago.
“I found that many projects had very large expenditures, and most of them failed for various reasons. These are common tricks used by bosses and accountants to falsify accounts and make profits. We can check the accounts where the funds flow.”
Ruifeng's annual profit decreased, which reduced its tax payments and the dividends for its ten shareholders.
Those project funds probably all ended up in the pocket of Ruifeng's chairman, right?
"Attorney Nan, our goal is to facilitate this merger, not to bring down Chairman Ruifeng," Song Yanzhi said, lighting a cigarette and glancing at her with a lazy, indifferent look.
Nan Xia leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed, her expression slightly somber.
"If they don't produce the real ledgers, what makes you think they're falsifying them? Do you think they'll let you investigate further?" he asked again. Wasn't this woman just after money?
Why are you suddenly taking this so seriously?
Nan Xia smiled suddenly, "I'm just casually chatting with you about this. Our goal, of course, is to facilitate this merger."
Song Yanzhi's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and glanced at it; it was Mrs. Feng. He answered, "Hello—"
"Hello Attorney Song, do you have some time today? I'd like to talk to you about something," she asked directly.
He took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and after a moment replied, "Six o'clock, see you at the Slightly Tipsy Bar."
Nan Xia recognized the woman's voice and guessed why she was looking for this man, but she didn't expect him to agree to meet her.
Is this an attempt to help that woman win the lawsuit, as retaliation for me taking her case?
The feeling of being moved just now vanished without a trace.
She smiled indifferently, thinking, "Let me see how he plans to help that woman!"
Afternoon rush hour.
While packing his things, Song Yanzhi said to the woman opposite him, "Go feed Zhizhi."
Nan Xia couldn't help but laugh. He went to plot against me with other women, asking me to go to his house to keep Gouzi company?
He really dares to think and speak his mind.
"Go tell your gentle and obedient assistant. Don't you trust her a lot?" She said indifferently, picked up her handbag, and left, still wearing his coat.
A slightly tipsy bar.
Mrs. Feng, who is in her thirties, wore a tight red halter dress tonight, with her long, wavy hair swept to one side in front of her.
She had very elaborate makeup on her face.
With a charming and mischievous smile, she pulled her skirt down a little further. Although she was married, she had maintained her figure and appearance extremely well.
Before the man arrived, she opened her handbag, took out five pills, and put them into the wine bottle—
"Tonight... I must win you over here!" Madam Feng smiled slightly.
Once I sleep with him, he'll have no choice but to help with the lawsuit.
Before long, the door to the private room was pushed open, and she looked excitedly at the aloof and handsome man. He was wearing a neat white shirt, with one hand in his pocket, and walked in expressionlessly.
She stood up. "Attorney Song, please come and sit down..."
Song Yanzhi sat down a little distance away from her, crossing his long legs and leaning against the back of the sofa.
Mrs. Feng took two new wine glasses, poured two glasses, and handed them to him: "Thank you very much, Attorney Song, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with me. I'd like to toast you."
He didn't take the cup, turned his head, and glanced at her indifferently. "Mrs. Feng, just say what you need me for."
"Shall we have a drink first?" She then handed the glass to him.
Song Yanzhi lowered his eyes, glanced coldly at the glass, and still didn't take it. He wasn't there to drink with her.
Seeing that he wouldn't drink, Madam Feng was somewhat annoyed, and then deliberately said...
"I ran into Attorney Nan at the restaurant at noon today. She was sitting with Director Zhou from your law firm. Do you want to know their secret?"
What did this woman overhear about what Nanxia and the old fox were saying?
What secrets do they hold?
Song Yanzhi glanced at the woman, took her wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and asked in a cold tone, "What secrets do they have?"
Madam Feng was delighted to see that he had drunk it.
She drank the wine in her glass, immediately poured more for him and herself, and then laughed sarcastically.
"Attorney Nan and that guy surnamed Zhou are actually having an affair. No wonder he poached her from his company."
Upon hearing her words, Song Yanzhi glared at her sharply, his tone turning colder, "Don't talk nonsense."
"This is what lawyer Ding Li said. Nan Xia has always been your mortal enemy and even stole your case, Attorney Song. Why don't you help me come up with a plan to win this case and teach her a lesson?"
She placed one hand on his shoulder, her fingers gently caressing his body. Song Yanzhi took a drag of his cigarette and turned to look at her—
"Don't worry, I can give you a generous reward, including myself..."
Seeing that the man didn't refuse, she immediately moved closer, inhaling his cool fragrance with fascination: "Lawyer Song, would you like to have some excitement here?"
Just as Madam Feng was about to kiss his handsome profile, the man suddenly grabbed her neck tightly!
It startled her.
The air was completely cut off, and she was so uncomfortable that her face turned red. She frantically tried to pry open his large hand, managing to speak with difficulty:
"Attorney Song, what are you doing? Have I offended you in some way?"
"Please let me go, okay?"
"I really feel so bad...please...cough...cough..."
She thought about it from beginning to end, but she couldn't remember offending him. Why was he treating her like this?
Song Yanzhi gripped her neck, staring at her with a cold, sharp gaze, and asked, "Were you the one who ordered those two men to teach Nan Xia a lesson that night?"
