Hurried to the hotel, Fang Ruoning pushed the door and entered, and there were already a few people sitting in the private room.

"Lawyer Fang, you finally came, and I thought you didn't want to appreciate your face." When Minister Zhong saw the young and beautiful woman pushing the door in, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

Fang Ruoning smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry Minister Zhong, there is something delayed at home." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's worth waiting for a beautiful woman!"

What is the domestic human society like, Fang Ruoning naturally knows that at the dinner table, these so-called elites and successful people do not know how obscene they are, and they have no bottom line, and the topic is always inseparable from women and meat jokes.

Sitting down beside Wei Yunche, Fang Ruoning directly whispered: "Senior brother, I don't drink, you can cover me later." ”

"Don't worry, with me, I won't let you drink," Wei Yunche hasn't taken care of Fang Ruoning for a year or two, but seeing that this woman has no intention of caring about emotions, he has to hide his thoughts, "How did Xuan Xuan arrange it?" I asked you to bring it to my house, but you refused. ”

"It's okay, the landlord is very good, and she is a relative of my friend, so please help take care of her for a few hours."

"Oh, that's good."

Looking around, in addition to the three people of Yuntian Law Firm, there is a vice president on Huo's side, and the leaders and business talents of the legal department are left.

There is indeed no Huo Lingxiao.

Letting go of the anxious heart, Fang Ruoning secretly exhaled, and the smile on his face became a little more natural.

In the middle of the meal, Minister Zhong suddenly answered the phone, and Fang Ruoning looked at the tone and demeanor of his speech, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone hung up, Minister Zhong looked at Wei Yunche.

"Lawyer Wei, Mr. Huo invited an important guest to a banquet on the top floor, and talked about a cooperation during the banquet, and there happened to be some legal questions that I wanted to consult, can you let Lawyer Fang go up?"

Fang Ruoning's head buzzed, and the chopsticks in his hand almost fell.

Why let her go up?

Wei Yunche looked at her reaction, smiled and said, "That's it, I'll go up." ”

Minister Zhong said: "That's the case, the other party is British, an elegant and capable shopping mall iron lady, several of us men have drunk, and we are all drunk, and we are afraid that it is inappropriate to get close...... Didn't Lawyer Fang just come back from the UK, it just so happens that communication is not a problem, and it is more convenient to be a woman. ”

When Fang Ruoning heard this, he inexplicably felt that this was a bureau - how could it be so coincidental!

"Ruoning?" Wei Yunche turned his head and looked at the woman beside him, "Ruoning? ”

"Huh?" Fang Ruoning came back to his senses and frowned.

"You go up, our image is really not suitable." Wei Yunche said, pointing to himself, indeed, he drank his face, and his current appearance is indeed not a gentleman enough, and the British are the most particular about gentlemen.

Looking at the other men, either the ties were untied, the buttons were unbuttoned, or the sleeves were rolled up to the elbows......

There was a miasma of smoke in the box, and she couldn't stay any longer, but she had to go up and face Huo Lingxiao face to face - compared to the two, she was in a dilemma.

Minister Zhong was puzzled: "Is there any difficulty with Lawyer Fang?" ”

Since he is already Huo's legal counsel, when the client has a need, they have to deliver the service in a timely and accurate manner, Minister Zhong asked, obviously dissatisfied.

"No, Minister Zhong, then you continue to drink, and I'll go up and have a look."

Minister Zhong smiled and said, "You enter the elevator and go directly to the top floor, and Secretary Chen waits." ”

"Okay."

Out of the box, Fang Ruoning subconsciously exhaled deeply, checked his makeup again, and made sure that there was no problem before entering the elevator.

Thinking about her best friend's words, she also comforted herself, Huo Lingxiao didn't know anything, she just needed to pretend that there was no such thing, behave normally, and not show clues, and she would definitely not be found anything.

After some psychological construction, when the elevator door opened, she was already smiling elegantly and calmly.

Secretary Chen was waiting by the elevator, and when she saw that she was coming up, she immediately bowed respectfully: "Hello lawyer Fang." ”

"Secretary Chen."

The two of them walked towards the banquet hall located in the ultra-luxurious VIP room on the top floor, and Secretary Chen told him about the situation of the British guests by the way.

Basically, the two companies want to cooperate to start a Sino-British joint venture, which now involves various issues such as the legal provisions of the two countries.

Therefore, looking for Fang Ruoning is the right person.

Entering the room, looking up, in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, there were seven or eight people sitting around the huge round table, all of them were bright, elegant and neatly dressed, the lights in the box were bright, the air was fresh, and the guests were talking and laughing softly.

"Mr. Huo, Lawyer Fang is here." Secretary Chen reminded him not high or low, and stretched out his hand to make an invitation.

Fang Ruoning approached, and only then did he see the noble, handsome, and powerful man on the main throne.

Huo Lingxiao was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hand with a watch was elegantly pinching the knife and fork, and when he heard Secretary Chen's words, he naturally turned his head to look at the woman who was approaching him, the light above his head poured down, and the contours of his face were hard, deep and three-dimensional, handsome and not real.

With his eyes on him, Fang Ruoning was inexplicably shocked in his heart, and pretended to bow his head slightly calmly: "Mr. Huo." ”

The knife and fork in the man's hand were put down, his slender ten fingers were clasped in front of him, and his chin was faintly placed in the vacant seat beside him: "Lawyer Fang, please take a seat." ”

Fang Ruoning carefully exhaled and sat down beside Huo Lingxiao.

The man's elegant and noble appearance introduced the two of them, and his fluent and pure London accent made Fang Ruoning mistakenly think that he was back in the UK.

"Mrs. Victoria is the first time to invest in China, and she is also one of the most important partners of our Huo family in the next few years......" After the introduction, Huo Lingxiao suddenly bowed his head and whispered in her ear, giving a brief introduction to the style and company situation of the iron lady of the British shopping mall.

After all, it was inconvenient for people to hear, so the voice was extremely low, and he leaned over very closely, Fang Ruoning's heartstrings tightened, and she almost dodged subconsciously to avoid it, but fortunately, she was still sane, her hands just trembled, and her body stiffened and did not move.

As she spoke, the man's unique breath swept around her ear with a shallow whisper, and Fang Ruoning even had the illusion that his thin lip flap seemed to touch the edge of her ear bone, or was it just his breath blowing into her ear canal? In short, before she finished speaking, she only felt that half of her face and the skin on her neck were hot, and she couldn't even hold her breath.

After Huo Lingxiao finished speaking, his eyes turned slightly to look at her side face, and seeing that she didn't respond, his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "Lawyer Fang, do you understand what I said?" ”

Fang Ruoning was stunned again, looked at him and nodded repeatedly: "Understood, understood." ”

Looking at each other so closely, she felt more and more that her eyes were dark and boundless, as if she was about to suck someone in at a glance, and immediately became more and more nervous, and quickly withdrew her eyes, the heat on her face had expanded from half of her face to her entire head.

Seeing her trembling appearance, Huo Lingxiao lightly pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes swept slightly, and he caught a glimpse of her cheeks that were instantly dyed pink.

Mature men in their thirties, even if they can't be humane over the years, are not a blank slate for men and women.

He knew best how popular he was among the women, and the woman was not "spared"—just as she spoke closer, she became shy.

It seems that the next thing is not difficult.

There was a Huo Lingxiao separated from the British guests, which made Fang Ruoning have to move closer when he spoke, and the distance between the two unconsciously narrowed again.

The man's crisp masculine breath penetrated into his heart, and Fang Ruoning didn't know how to maintain his composure and accurately convey the message to the British client.

Fortunately, as soon as the other party heard that she had lived in London for a few years, she suddenly felt a sense of intimacy, and soon the conversation became casual and relaxed.

I thought that I would be able to complete the task after coming up for a while, but I didn't expect it to last until the end of the dinner at ten o'clock, and Huo Lingxiao had no intention of letting her leave.

In the elevator, Fang Ruoning stood beside Huo Lingxiao.

Taking advantage of the time between him talking to the British guest, she quickly took out her mobile phone and looked at it.

There is Wei Yunche's WeChat message.

[You can go directly later, Zhenwei has drunk too much, I have to send him back. 】

Originally, Fang Ruoning didn't want to go back to the box again, the men drank too much wine, and their words became more and more open-mouthed, she was the only woman present, and she was not stupid and took the initiative to go back.

I planned in my heart that when Huo Lingxiao sent the distinguished guests to the car, she would be able to go home.

And yet—
