Chapter 68 "I spend all my time with my husband."
Shang Chen came out carrying a flower basket, and Assistant Wu stepped forward to help.
Upon seeing a basket of black roses that looked as if they had been soaked in ink, I was immediately taken aback.
Although surprised, I have to admit that the basket of roses is indeed beautifully designed.
Assistant Wu: "Mr. Shang, how do you plan to send flowers to your wife?"
"How else can we deliver it?"
Sending flowers is simply sending flowers to Wenxi, what other way is there?
Assistant Wu: "...What I mean is, Mr. Shang, you're going on a business trip tomorrow, so why don't you set aside some time today to pick up your wife from get off work, deliver some flowers, and have a candlelight dinner?"
As they spoke, Assistant Wu was already thinking about where would be a suitable place for a romantic candlelight dinner.
Shang Chen: "Wen Xi may not have time."
Assistant Wu: "..."
Shang Chen spoke calmly and rationally, but as soon as he finished speaking, he sent a message to Wen Xi.
What time do I finish work in the evening?
Wen Xigang, Le Hui, Lu Zhi and a few others returned to the law firm after finishing their meal.
She opened her phone, and the first thing she saw wasn't Shang Chen's message, but rather a text message about a consumer.
【Dear Mr. Shang, your purchase today at XX store amounted to 53.6 million…】
From the moment Wenxi received Shang Chen's card, she anticipated that she would receive shopping notifications from Shang Chen.
But anticipating something is one thing, actually seeing it is another.
This feeling is really peculiar.
It was as if she could sense some of his actions across a vast distance.
As for whether Shang Chen bought this set of jewelry for her or for some other purpose, Wen Xi didn't think much about it.
As a businessman, business dealings are inevitable.
Whether it's the main card or the supplementary card, he might not actually use them; they're probably managed by Wu Te's assistant.
After checking the bank's information, Wenxi finally had time to reply to Shang Chen's message.
【available. 】
Shang Chen replied quickly.
What time do I get off work?
Are you coming to pick me up?
After a moment's deliberation, Shang Chen typed out a line of text.
[I still owe you a meal.]
Wenxi: "..."
Shang Chen is such a good businessman, doesn't he know to wait and see?
If he finishes the two meals she owes so quickly, isn't he afraid she won't eat with him anymore?
When it came to the two meals she owed, Wenxi suddenly remembered that she also owed Shang Chen an apology gift.
The two meals were eaten so quickly that she didn't have time to prepare a gift.
Just then, Bai Wei knocked on the door and came in: "Wen Lu, you have half an hour left before your appointment with Young Master Jiang. It's time to leave."
Wenxi turned off her phone: "I'll get ready now."
She got up, grabbed her coat, and immediately got to work.
The car drove to a bar called "After Three Rounds of Drinks".
Wenxi led Bai Wei through the door.
It was midday, and there wasn't a single customer in the bar except for a man with a cool and aloof demeanor, yet also a stylish and slightly roguish air.
The man was tall and slender, with his back to Wenxi, wiping the glasses on the bar. His movements were slow and leisurely, clearly not the type to do manual labor.
"Young Master Jiang, it's been a long time."
Hearing the voice, Jiang Zheng turned his head and looked Wen Xi up and down: "She's dressed quite warmly."
Ignoring his teasing, Wenxi cut to the chase and asked, "Where is my client?"
"What's the rush? They're not going to run away." Jiang Zheng curled his lips. "Shall we have a drink first? I'll call them down and we can talk slowly."
Wenxi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, give me some with a lower prescription."
It's getting colder and colder, so having a little alcohol can warm you up.
Jiang Zheng glanced at her and said, "I know, my ancestor."
Soon, a girl about the same age as Jiang Zheng came out of the private room. She was also a case that Jiang Zheng had recommended to Wen Xi.
Wenxi chatted casually with the person involved, while Bai Wei quietly ran to the bar, "Young Master Jiang, could you make me a drink too?"
Jiang Zheng asked coldly and arrogantly, "What kind of alcohol do you drink during work hours?"
Bai Wei: "You're treating me differently."
"No one dares to stop her from drinking, but what about you?"
Bai Wei: "...You're just being biased!"
"Yeah, I'm biased." Jiang Zheng deftly mixed a glass of wine, glancing at Bai Wei: "Any objections?"
Bai Wei: "..."
This guy is still so annoying, he's got the attitude of a spoiled brat!
Two glasses of wine were placed in front of her. The girl who was chatting with Wenxi wiped away her tears and said, "I don't lack money, but I just want to prove myself."
"I'd rather throw money into the water and hear the splash than let him scam me!"
Wen Xi calmly said, "The key evidence chain in this case is not complete, and there is a lot of room for negotiation on compensation."
She accepted the wine and thanked Jiang Zheng.
It took Wenxi nearly two hours to finish talking with the person involved.
After seeing the client off, Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "Attorney Wen, if this case goes through, won't you treat me to a meal?"
Wenxi: "Don't worry, we'll do it as agreed, and you'll get your share of the profits."
Jiang Zheng: "Profit sharing is profit sharing, but what I said is that you should thank me."
"I've worked diligently and conscientiously, and I've managed to get you over twenty major cases this year."
"Not very convenient."
"Why?"
Wen Xi raised her hand, her wedding ring dangling in front of Jiang Zheng: "Married."
Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth, "What, you've become heartless just because you're married?"
"I spend all my time with my husband."
Bai Wei, stirring up trouble from the sidelines, chimed in, "Wen Lu is newly married and is deeply in love with my master. How could he have time to have dinner with you?"
Jiang Zheng had a distressed expression.
Wenxi smiled and said, "I'll give you a gift when I have the chance, and thank you, Young Master Jiang, for your support of my work over the years."
Jiang Zheng's expression improved slightly.
The story of how Wenxi and Jiang Zheng met is quite dramatic.
This perfectly illustrates the saying, "We are not destined to be together; it's all about throwing money around."
Jiang Zheng is the only son of Chairman Jiang of Fangrong International. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and his status is similar to that of Yan Xu and Shang Ze.
When he was young, Chiang Fang-kuo was focused on his career and neglected to discipline his children, which led to a strained relationship between father and son.
By the time they get older and want to take care of him, Jiang Zheng has already developed a whole host of bad habits.
Wenxi met him six years ago when she had just started her internship at Zhongda.
At the time, Jiang Zheng got into a fight, causing serious injury to the other party, and could face more than ten years in prison.
Jiang Fangguo entrusted Director Huang to handle this case.
Wenxi had just joined Zhongda and was interning under Director Huang, so she knew there was more to the story.
It's true that Jiang Zheng got into a fight, but he was also set up by someone who was Jiang Fangguo's rival. Their goal was to get revenge on Jiang Fangguo and send his son to prison.
Wenxi, an intern, naturally had no right to get involved in the lawsuit, but she received a special assignment.
I visit Jiang Zheng in prison regularly every month, mainly to spend an hour chatting with him.
It cost 3,000 yuan per session, but later the price was raised to 10,000 yuan per session.
Wenxi is not short of money, but she is not so indifferent to it.
Who would complain about making money so easily?
At first, Jiang Zheng exuded the aura of a rebellious teenager and completely ignored Wen Xi.
The two of them sat awkwardly facing each other for an hour, seeing who would give up first.
In the end, Jiang Zheng was the first to admit defeat and speak, unknowingly falling into Wen Xi's trap.
