Chapter 107: Lu Kuo Helps Out

doesn't feel like a dream at all. It feels so real, like I've truly gone back to the past."Zuo Yu'an chuckled softly above her head, "So you still want me to be your boyfriend, right"Shū Tínglan was s...Lu Kuai knew she was here to hear about Whale Finance and readily said

"You should have said so earlier, this is nothing. Come on, I'll take you to see the old man."

Lu Kuo drove a very stylish Wrangler to Tingjing Finance with Shu Tinglan. To say it, the price of the Wrangler doesn't match his status, but this unruly temperament is quite similar.

"Why don't we reschedule I can be more serious about it, and bring our Director Xiao with us to visit" She felt a little guilty and worried that she might mess things up and embarrass Lu Kuò.

"It's fine, old man, just listen to me. I'll take you out to make some connections. You don't need to say anything." He said nonchalantly.

Shu Tinglan thought, she truly knew nothing about Lu Kuo. Back in high school, all she knew was that he and Zhuo Yu'an had transferred to Qining High School because of their fathers' work. They rarely talked about their parents, Zhuo Yu'an was very introverted, doing everything seriously and persistently, while Lu Kuo was very outgoing and cheerful. Even when he was chasing Cheng Chen, it didn't stop him from teasing other girls and making them laugh.

Later, everyone worked at Senzhou. Shu Tinglan didn't know what Lu Kuo did for a living until now; he seemed like an unemployed vagabond, spending his days indulging in pleasure and revelry.

>As Chen Cheng put it: "For someone like him, a rich second generation, not squandering his wealth is already the greatest achievement."

Lu Kuo was unhappy: "Who said I don't have a real job Does only working from nine to five or being exploited by 996 count as a real job"

That tone was so arrogant, it was almost like he was saying, "I can sign multi-million dollar contracts in minutes. Why would I need to clock in"

Shutinglan this time believes he is not a vagrant.

As soon as he entered Tingjing Financial Investment, the front desk girl greeted him enthusiastically.

"Is Shao Lu here"

Lu Kuo smiled brightly and praised the young lady.

“Your eyebrows look good today, they suit you.”

The front desk was even happier now, she called Lu Boss's secretary, Dong Jie, on the internal line to report that he had arrived.

Secretary Dong, a woman in her thirties, came out of the secretary's office in high heels to greet him. Lu Kuo wanted to give her a warm hug, but she coldly dodged his attempt.

"Why didn't you say hello in advance" Dong Jie said, her tone familiar, clearly someone she knew well.

"I want to give you a surprise."

"It's just a fright."

"Where's the old man"

"Unfortunately, I recently returned to Beijing and am not in Senzhou."

Dong Jie looked at him, then at Shu Tinglan standing straight behind him in professional attire, her eyebrows raised as she asked Lu Kuo.

"What's the matter with General Lu"

"Let me introduce you. This is Shu Tinglan, a mergers and acquisitions lawyer from Hongzheng Law Firm, responsible for the legal work on this acquisition of Huahua project."

The secretary raised an eyebrow.

"As far as I know, this project hasn't started bidding yet."

"Hey, that's not fair. I already brought the person here, just tell your grandpa and that's settled."

Shu Tinglan had seen Lu Kuò's straightforward approach. Her intention was simply to make an introduction, give someone a chance. Whether it worked out or not depended on the final bidding, fair competition, whoever was capable would get the position.

Sister Dong helplessly:

"You really owe me one."

This man is someone we can't afford to offend. He is the only child of the Lu family, and although he is the boss's nephew, his status is even higher than that of the boss's daughter, Lu YaoYao. The boss himself has no say in front of him. Anyway, acquiring Huahua Entertainment is just a small acquisition deal. It was done just to make Lu YaoYao happy, so the law firm we cooperate with doesn't matter much. Just don't be too outrageous.

"That's right, smile more, don't frown, or you'll get crow's feet, which aren't pretty."

"Get out of here!" Sister Dong was furious. Smile more At her age, could she even smile anymore Her crow's feet and laugh lines were always ready to appear.

"Seeing that you've helped me, I'll also help you take care of Lu Yaoyao. I'll make her willingly call you "Mom"."

"I really thank you, Shao Lu..."

Sister Dong was even more furious, who would want to be Lu Yao's stepmother and be tormented by her

Shū Tínglān was completely dumbfounded, not even having time to utter a word. Could business be conducted like this She had thought there would at least be an introduction, some discussion about the business itself, some formality, some professionalism, even if it was just a pretense.

Suddenly, she remembered Cheng Chen always telling her before that resources should be utilized. You spend half your life doing something, while others can get it done with just a word.

She still played by the book a little too much, coming across as somewhat weak and even lacking in fighting spirit.

When she returned to the law firm and placed the cooperation contract on Zhou Ming's desk, he was shocked.

"Are you sure this is a genuine seal from Whale Finance for an investment Forgery is illegal, you know."

Since he stopped chasing her after becoming her younger brother, his sharp tongue has turned towards her. There's no trace of the tenderness and care he once showed her; he's become incredibly realistic.

"Genuine." Shu Tinglan was still very happy. According to Cheng Chen, resources are also part of your ability. Accept them openly.

Zhou Ming was actually even happier than her. He tapped her forehead and said...

"The blue surpasses the blue. Come on, let's go to Director Xiao and show him off." Taking the contract, she dragged him straight to Director Xiao's office.

Director Xiao, being such a shrewd person, went straight to the point and asked...

"Do you know anyone"

"Yes."

"Since it's a recommendation from someone we know, we have to do a good job and not embarrass our company."

Although she was secretly delighted, she refused to offer even a word of praise, fearing it would inflate Shu Tinglan's ego.

"Director Xiao, you're wrong about this. Hearing about Whale Financial Investment with so many acquisitions and investments, none of them have ever come our way. Now that Lan is helping us break through the barriers, you have this attitude"

>>

"Okay, everyone don't work late today, let's celebrate after work, I'll treat."

"Alright, I'll go tell them right away." Zhou Ming was happy.

"Thank you, Director Xiao," Shu Tinglan also went out.

They actually don't get together for meals very often. Firstly, everyone is very busy and it's rare to have them all available. Secondly, Director Xiao has always disliked organizing team-building activities. That's why everyone jokingly says that they only got this gathering because of Shu Tinglan's presence.

Shu Tinglan just smiled, trying to minimize her own presence. She didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention. Director Xiao knew about her "problem," so in order to train her, he deliberately spoke up and said...

"Tinglan, why don't you share your experience from this successful endeavor with us"

Lawyers are different from other professions. You have to face the public eye and must be able to express yourself completely in any situation. This is the most fundamental requirement.

When it came to sharing her experience, Shu Tinglan felt a little awkward. After all, this contract was entirely Lu Kuo's doing; she hadn't contributed at all. But she couldn't say that, could she

So, she shared how she had broken through Xiao Zong's secretary and Xiao Zong himself in the beginning, describing the process in detail. Finally, when it came to Lu Kuo, she just glossed over it.

Her spoken language skills were actually quite good, with clear pronunciation and well-organized thoughts. After finishing her speech, she humbly added:

"Showing off in front of the master. Thanks, everyone."and now to Beijing, changing to a completely unfamiliar living environment, with their mother not around, she didn't know if they could adaptZhuo Yu'an hugged her, still saying the same thing: "Tingla...
