559 Trip to Los Angeles (5)
559
The negotiations lasted all day.
Fu Shiyu had no patience at all, pulled a face and put down the cruel words, and the other party's boss was also very unhappy, snorted, and prepared to take people away.
Fu Zhengye's assistant was busy playing a round, temporarily calming down the other party and his party, and then made a look at Tang Xien.
Tang Xien guessed that he wanted to persuade Fu Shiyu by himself, but before she came, she told Fu Shiyu that she would not interfere in this case, unless he needed her help.
Tang Xien sat still and didn't move, and the assistant had no choice but to personally invite Fu Shiyu out.
Here, in the conference room, the other party's senior management is quietly discussing countermeasures with the lawyer. Tang Xi'en heard the other party's high-level suddenly say, "This kid has more means than his father", she wanted to hear something more, but the other party's voice quickly fell back down.
She turned to look at Fu Shiyu, who was speaking outside.
Outside the transparent glass walls, the corridor is softly lit and spreads down like a net.
Fu Shiyu stood with one hand in his pocket, with a tall posture and a serious and arrogant expression. The person standing beside him had been persuading him to do something, and he frowned a little impatiently after hearing a few words.
In the corridor outside the conference room, lawyers and clients in the law firm came and went, and people kept passing by Fu Shiyu. He whispered a few words to his assistant and quickly came in.
Unbutton the suit with one hand, take a seat, and with a gesture of raising your hand, the assistant handed over the previously prepared agreement. He looked down a few times, pushed the agreement in front of her, turned his head and whispered to her: "Now I plan to talk to the other party and give the project money a 20% discount, on the condition that it will arrive tomorrow." Let's see if there's anything wrong with the agreement. ”
Tang Xien didn't quite understand why he suddenly changed his strategy, but he was still very cautious to help him review the agreement.
……
"The agreement is fine." Tang Xien reviewed it and pushed the agreement to Fu Shiyu in its entirety.
Fu Shiyu raised his chin at the assistant and motioned for him to distribute the agreement to the other party. The assistant took the agreement and whispered to the opposing lawyer and senior executives.
Fu Shiyu picked up Tang Xien's windbreaker on the back of the chair and whispered, "Let's go." ”
"Okay."
The two of them left the law office, and it was almost dark.
January in Los Angeles is not cold, the coldest is only about ten degrees, and the climate is somewhat similar to Beihai.
Even so, from the beginning of leaving the door of the law firm, Fu Shiyu still habitually upstairs on Tang Xien's shoulders and pulled most of her body to his side.
They took a taxi to nearby Chinatown and found a Chaoshan hot pot restaurant to eat beef hot pot as a hearth for tonight.
Before the food came up, Fu Shiyu was first concerned about whether Tang Xien would feel uncomfortable and whether he would want to vomit, and after hearing her say no, he asked with a smile: "Have you ever been to Los Angeles before?" ”
"I've been here," Don Cyn smiled at him, "I went to Pasadena eight years ago to get my license, and I've been here a few times, but I've only stayed in Los Angeles, and I haven't been to cities like Oakland or Berkeley. ”
"When this is over, we'll play in these cities in California for a few days before we leave."
"Okay."
Seeing that Fu Shiyu was still in the mood to arrange these, Tang Xien was a little relieved.
The bottom of the pot and the tableware were delivered, Fu Shiyu asked the clerk for boiling water to scald the tableware, and Tang Xien went to the self-service sauce table to serve the sauce plate for the two.
When she brought the sauce plate, the food they had ordered had already been delivered, and the cart was full of various cuts of beef, dumplings, vegetables, meatballs, and noodles cut into thin slices.
Almost all the people in the hot pot restaurant are black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese, most of the families eat hot pot together, there are old people and children, and the mandarin duck pot on the table is steaming with white smoke, which is very smoky.
Tang Xien looked around at the lively hot pot restaurant for a week, put a plate of sauce in front of Fu Shiyu, and said with a smile: "The last time we came here, there were no people at eight o'clock in the evening, and many restaurants were closed. ”
"Yes," Fu Shiyu scooped up two dumplings into her bowl, "If it's not a festival, it's relatively early to close here, and it's usually deserted after six o'clock in the evening." The dumplings were put away, and he looked up at her, "You guys?" ”
Tang Xien was about to dip the dumplings in soy sauce, and when he heard it, he thought for a moment before he understood what he meant: "It's the Chinese classmates who came to the exam together." ”
Fu Shi smiled and asked, "Did you plan to stay in Los Angeles to work at that time?" Otherwise, why come to Pasadena to get a license? ”
He poured her oat juice and opened a bottle of beer himself.
Before eating the dumplings, she took a sip of oat juice, and the warm, viscous liquid warmed all her internal organs.
"Yes, because the tertiary industry here is very developed, there are many excellent and top Chinese law firms, which are very suitable for the development of Chinese lawyers." At this, she smiled happily, "I originally planned that if I couldn't find my dad in those years, or if he didn't welcome me, then I would go back to California to develop." ”
However, the development of reality always deviates from the setting, because when she met Fu Shiyu, she simply changed the track. Fortunately, his track leads to Rome.
Thinking of what happened in the past few years, Tang Xien was full of emotion. Over the years, Fu Shiyu's dedication to her, she has seen it all in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and now that he needs her, she will definitely do her best to help him.
She took the initiative to hold Fu Shiyu's hand on the table: "Don't worry too much about your father's affairs, as long as he hasn't done it, I have a way to help him get rid of his crimes." If he did, we should try our best to try it too, not necessarily the worst. ”
"If he did, he should be punished."
When Fu Shiyu said this, his face was calm, as if he was talking about someone else's matter. But Tang Xien, who was holding hands with him, felt that his hands that were always warm were very cold and cold.
His state of mind at the moment should be very hesitant, but he was probably afraid of affecting her, and never took the initiative to mention Fu Zhengye's case, she took the initiative to mention it, and he pretended to be fine. Father's stall of such a thing, for a person like Fu Shiyu who carries a family on his shoulders, how can he be light?
She felt super sorry for him.
He probably noticed it, came back to his senses, held her hand with his backhand, looked at her with a smile in his clear eyes, wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just smiled and patted the back of her hand, urging: "Things are going to be cold, eat quickly." ”
Coming out of the hot pot restaurant, there were no people on the street, and everyone went back to their residences to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu bought a few stickers with the word "Fu" in the store and prepared to paste them on the doors and windows of the hotel to create a festive atmosphere.
When Fu Shiyu led her to wait for the car on the side of the road, he suddenly said, "I regret it." ”
"Huh?" Tang Xien turned his head to look at him, puzzled, "What do you regret?" ”
Fu Shiyu shook his head: "I shouldn't have brought you here." He sighed and took Tang Xien's hand tightly, "You are pregnant with a child now, and I still let you deal with such a thing, it really shouldn't be." We'll go back tomorrow. ”
