Chapter 58 Couples Praising Each Other in Business
Shang Chen attended the meeting as a family member.
Bai Wei returned after relaying the message, expressing her incomprehension.
"Master really loves everything about you. He even came to our law firm to sit in on a meeting just so he could spend more time with you, Lawyer Wen."
"Director Liu's meetings are more agonizing than being boiled in oil."
Wenxi glanced at her and said, "Is this what you mean by 'love me, love my dog'? You've wasted all those years of studying."
Bai Wei waved her hand, "There's no difference, as long as you can understand."
Wenxi: "...He didn't come to sit in on the meeting because of me; he was just curious."
"Hmm, I'm curious." Bai Wei looked unconvinced and said mysteriously, "Wen Lu, you touched up your lipstick."
Wenxi put on lipstick for work in the morning, and some got on her lips while she was eating.
Given Wen Lu's personality, if she doesn't go to court in the afternoon, she usually won't touch up her makeup.
Applying lipstick now only makes it seem like an attempt to cover up the truth.
As for the reason for needing to reapply lipstick...
Bai Wei's smile gradually became distorted.
Wen Xi glanced at her, her face calm: "Isn't it normal to touch up your makeup after eating?"
"Mmm." Bai Wei nodded vigorously: "Normal, normal."
"Newlyweds, so full of love and sweetness~"
Just then, Shang Chen returned from the bathroom and heard this: "What are you talking about?"
Shang Chen glanced at Bai Wei indifferently, exuding an air of authority.
Bai Wei immediately replied honestly, "It's nothing, I still need to print some documents."
After saying that, Bai Wei fled in panic.
Shang Chencai looked at Wenxi: "Newlyweds, deeply in love."
He spoke those eight words in a deep, elegant voice, without haste or delay.
"Are you talking about me?"
Wenxi calmly replied, "Bai Wei gave me her wedding congratulations."
"That's good." Shang Chen: "But, isn't it a little too late?"
He and Wenxi have been married for almost three months.
You didn't give it to me last time we met, but you're giving it to me now?
Wen Xi twitched the corner of her mouth: "Indeed, I'll teach her a lesson next time and stop her from talking nonsense."
Shang Chen: "...It's not that bad."
Wenxi said in a serious tone, "The most important thing for a lawyer is to be meticulous. She is not meticulous at all and needs to be taught a lesson."
Shang Chen looked at Wen Xi with his dark eyes, as if he could see through everything.
"How's Zhou Yuan's case going lately?"
"That's great, we're just waiting for the court hearing."
He brought up a serious matter: "I don't intend to let the Zhou family's imprisonment of you go unpunished."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "What are you planning to do?"
"I'd like to hire Attorney Wen," Shang Shen said seriously, "to help my wife file a lawsuit."
Wenxi leaned against the desk, looking at Shang Chen with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
She tapped the table with her fingertip, her tone intimate and teasing, "President Shang, come and take a look."
As Shang Chen approached, his aura enveloped Wen Xi.
It is clear and elegant, profound and steady.
He also smelled a faint fragrance on Wenxi's body, which was lighter than at night.
Shang Chen looked at the spot Wen Xi was pointing to; it was a criminal indictment.
Shang Chen took it out and glanced at it; the defendant's name was clearly written as Zhou Yuan.
He subconsciously curled his lips, his heart stirred slightly, and turned his head to meet Wen Xi's gaze.
Wenxi: "We have a pretty good understanding."
"However, I plan to file the lawsuit later, for fear of affecting Mrs. Zhou's divorce case."
Shang Chen: "No need to worry, the Zhou family wouldn't dare to object."
Shang Chen's tone was calm, but his nonchalant manner revealed an air of dominance and composure.
That's the kind of aura that can only be cultivated by someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
“Last time in Jiangnan, Zhou Yuan asked me to withdraw the lawsuit, but I ignored him. He said I was arrogant enough.”
"It seems I wasn't arrogant enough."
Shang Chen agreed: "He was right about some things."
Is Shang Chen telling her to be even more arrogant?
Wenxi joked, "Ms. Ning said I married a good husband, and she was right."
Shang Chen: "Zhou Yuan also praised us as a match made in heaven last time."
He adopted a sophisticated tone and began exchanging pleasantries with Wenxi.
"That means I married a wonderful wife."
Wenxi was in a good mood after being praised.
When the meeting started, Wenxi deliberately brought Shang Chen to be the last to arrive and to sit at the very back.
However, Shang Chen's outstanding temperament still attracted the attention of many people.
At the beginning of the meeting, Director Liu publicly praised Wen Xi.
"Many people are not enthusiastic about attending meetings at all. We should learn from Attorney Wen in this regard. He is so busy with work, but he still remembers to bring his family members to attend and do legal education."
Wenxi: "..."
Many people turned their gazes toward him, filled with admiration and bewilderment.
Wen Xi and Shang Chen were both calm and composed, without even frowning.
But soon, as Director Liu spoke, Shang Chen began to frown.
The first step is to summarize and review the previous week.
The second step is to set goals for this week.
The third step is to impart life lessons and give someone a pep talk.
Perhaps because he saw outsiders today, Director Liu also took the opportunity to review the founding history of the law firm.
It took another half hour.
At the last moment of the meeting, everyone wore a numb and indifferent expression.
As soon as the meeting ended, Shang Chen vaguely heard many people breathe a sigh of relief and run out as if their lives depended on it.
He followed Wenxi back to her office and slowly asked, "Is this how meetings are always held at your law firm?"
"It always has been."
"Isn't it said that law firms offer flexible working hours and few restrictions?"
"The rules are different in each institution."
After a long silence, Shang Chen said, "If you want to skip a meeting next time, I'll cooperate with you anytime."
Wen Xi glanced at him, pulled out a piece of paper, and pushed it in front of him, calmly saying, "Now, would you please cooperate with me, Mr. Shang?"
Shang Chen looked at Wen Xi quietly.
Wen Xi coughed lightly to cover up her guilty conscience: "The post-meeting summary needs to be submitted to Director Liu."
Shang Chen's brows furrowed immediately.
Wenxi: "Don't frown, it makes you look old."
