Chapter 137: Accusations of Abolishing the Public for Private Purposes
Liang Jianwen's words were very straightforward, and they just hit everyone's sore spots.
They have been busy for so long, isn't it just to open up the market for Beijing's shipping industry?
The crowd fell silent.
Lei's goal from the beginning was to break into the capital city, and the current compromise is contrary to his previous purpose, and no one will be reconciled.
Qin Yaoyao glanced at the people who didn't speak, and then turned her head to look at Fu Lichen.
found that Fu Lichen had rested on his chin with his fingers crossed from the beginning to the present, and he had not spoken.
When others saw it, they might think that he was thinking about something serious, but when Qin Yaoyao saw it at a glance, Fu Lichen's thoughts didn't know where to go.
Qin Yaoyao was immediately dissatisfied, but the meeting was still going on, and she couldn't interrupt halfway.
After an hour-long meeting, no conclusions were discussed, and nothing was done.
Qin Yaoyao and the others all left, before they walked in front of Fu Lichen, with a straight face, and reminded solemnly: "Li Chen, don't forget that you are still our Lei family's lawyer, you were absent-minded in such a serious meeting just now, is this your professional ethics?" β
She said a little heavily, hoping to attract Fu Lichen's attention.
However, Fu Lichen just glanced at her lazily, "What's the matter with you?" β
Qin Yaoyao was so speechless by this sentence that she was ashamed and annoyed.
Reluctantly suppressing her anger, she pointed out with a straight face: "It really doesn't matter about my business, but you are the lawyer representing the Lei family, you should always be responsible for the Lei family, right?" Now the Lei clan is in a difficult situation, and you urgently need your ideas, but you don't do your business, because private matters delay official business?
Fu Lichen, you let me down so much! You have failed my trust in you, and you have failed the 8 million agency fees that Lei paid you. β
The words are righteous and awe-inspiring, and the big truths are set one by one.
It's a pity that Fu Lichen doesn't eat this set.
Glancing at Qin Yaoyao's face that was slightly flushed with excitement, she waited for the other party to finish speaking, and then said slowly, "Are you finished?" β
Qin Yaoyao didn't understand what Fu Lichen meant, and nodded stunned.
Fu Lichen raised his chin towards the door, "You can leave after speaking." β
Qin Yaoyao: "You! β
She was about to be mad by Fu Lichen's indifference and indifference again and again.
She asked herself that she was good enough for Fu Lichen, restrained all her pride, talked and communicated with the other party softly, and did not even flinch in the face of the other party's cold face.
But what did she get these days?
"Fu Lichen, don't go too far!" Qin Yaoyao's eyes were red with anger, and she lowered her voice and warned, "Don't you just rely on me to have a good impression of you?" If you do this again, I'll be really angry! β
Qin Yaoyao is not afraid to admit that she has a good impression of Fu Lichen, but if the other party squandered her favor again and again, she also has a temper!
She thought that when she released this ultimatum, Fu Lichen should always put away his indifference.
Unexpectedly, Fu Lichen listened to her words, his eyes didn't blink, and he replied in a light tone: "Finished?" Let's go! β
Qin Yaoyao was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to Fu Lichen, an angry guy anymore! Picking up his bag, he turned and ran out of the conference room.
Fu Lichen pursed the corners of his lips, not hiding his disdain.
At this time, there was a round of applause at the door.
"Li Chen, your mouth is getting more and more venomous!" Cheng Yu's happy teasing sounded.
When he and Lin Wenyu came to Beijing, they went straight to the hotel, opened the room, and heard that Fu Lichen was in the conference room.
I didn't expect to come up and encounter such a wonderful picture, Cheng Yu said that this play is still worth the ticket!
Fu Lichen raised his eyes and squinted at him, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, have you found Xia Xi?" β
Cheng Yu pouted, "Li Chen, you are really a model of heavy sex and light friends!" Ah Yu and I have worked tirelessly, flying all the way to help you, if you don't care about it, we will forget it, and you still have such a bad attitude towards us...... Hey, I'm so sad to death! β
Fu Lichen was indifferent to Cheng Yu's tricks, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became, he simply stopped paying attention to him, and turned to look at Lin Wenyu, repeating the question to one side.
Of course, Lin Wenyu was not as boring as Cheng Yu, knowing that Fu Lichen was really in a hurry, he said directly: "It's not certain for the time being, but if nothing else, Xia Xi should be at her house now." β
"When did she return to Haishi?" Fu Lichen's eyebrows were wrinkled into the word 'Chuan', his eyes were full of surprise, and there was a trace of uneasiness that was not easy to detect.
It was rare for Cheng Yu to see Fu Lichen, who had always been calm and composed, so emotionally exposed, 'eye-opening'.
However, this time, Barrister Fu's prediction is like a god and finally fails, right?
Cheng Yu seized the opportunity and began to tease Fu Lichen again, "Ah Yu just said that Xia Xi went home, but he didn't say that she went back to Haishi!" β
"How can she go back if she doesn't go back to Haishi......" Fu Lichen's voice was stuck in his throat.
Lawyer Fu frowned in annoyance and scolded in a low voice, 'Damn'!
He actually forgot such an important thing - Xu Xiaxi is also from Beijing, and her home is here.
And before that, he was really robbed of all his reason by Xu Xiaxi's farewell, and he forgot about such an obvious thing.
Xu Xiaxi left the hotel, and the most likely place to go is of course his own home!
Fu Lichen made up his mind, got up and walked out, but was stopped by Cheng Yu.
"Wait, where are you going?"
Fu Lichen pulled back his arm and said lightly: "I'll go find her." β
Cheng Yu felt that in just a few minutes, he had seen enough of Fu Lichen's gaffe, panic and impatience at one time.
These negative emotions have never belonged to Fu Lichen, but now they all appear in this man.
Cheng Yu could even feel the anxiety on Fu Lichen's body.
He sighed, blocked in front of Fu Lichen again, and said in a deep voice: "You wait for me first!" What Ah Yu meant just now was just to say that the most likely place for Xu Xiaxi to stay at the moment was her house, but he didn't say that she must be there.
Besides, if she's really home, are you still worried about whether she can run away? Don't worry, let's settle the matter first. β
Fu Lichen impatiently threw off the shackles of Cheng Yu, but he also listened to the other party's words, and did not run out impulsively.
He walked back to the conference table, leaned on his side, and pulled a cigarette and lighter out of his pocket.
He lit a cigarette for himself skillfully, took two deep breaths, and then relaxed slightly, frowning and looking at Cheng Yu: "What's the matter, just say it!" β
Cheng Yu also restrained his laughter and pointed out seriously: "The young lady just now, although she had ulterior motives, her words were not wrong. You are now Lei's lawyer, since you have received the owner's agency fee, you can't be perfunctory, right?
With your attitude towards her just now, if I were your owner, I would have to terminate the contract with you! β
Because the person who said this was Cheng Yu, Fu Lichen did not do anything perfunctory like he had just sent Qin Yaoyao.
Instead, after being silent for about a minute, she slowly explained: "First of all, Qin Yaoyao is only the project leader of this case, responsible for contacting me and facilitating my work, she is not qualified to discuss my contract with Lei's, and I have not explained my plans and methods to her. β
This is the reason why Fu Lichen was so cold to Qin Yaoyao just now.
"Secondly, I didn't delay my business because of personal matters, and when I signed the contract, Lei gave me three months to deal with the case. Now ......"
Fu Lichen pointed to the wall calendar on the wall, "It's been less than ten days. β
In other words, Fu Lichen still has more than two months and twenty days to deal with this case, and it is too arbitrary to say that he is delaying the business now.
Cheng Yu said in a tangled way: "The big boss of the family has paid for it, and he may hope that you will solve the case as soon as possible." β
Fu Lichen smiled coldly and snorted: "Since the deadline is given, as long as I complete it within the deadline!" Now it's not even a month, what's her hurry? β
It seems that this is really the case!
Cheng Yu felt that he had been brainwashed by Fu Lichen's words, he obviously felt that Fu Lichen was a bit too much at first, and as a friend, he had the obligation to remind him of one or two.
But now, why does he think that Fu Lichen has done it very appropriately?!
"Ahem!" Cheng Yu secretly spit on his unfirm position, and then fell to Fu Lichen without hesitation.
Offer, "I have a car, I'll take you there!" β
is serious, fair and selfless, as if the car was specially prepared in Beijing for the convenience of Fu Lichen, and he didn't have the intention of watching the excitement at all.
Fu Lichen glanced at Cheng Yu's big tail that was almost up to the sky, and he was not in the mood to pierce the other party, but nodded and agreed to Cheng Yu's suggestion.
It's just that they haven't even stepped out of the door of the conference room before they stop again.
Because Xu Xiaxi is back.
Fu Lichen was surprised and delighted, and strode forward to shake Xu Xiaxi's hand, but was deftly dodged by the latter.
Xu Xiaxi took a step back, kept a distance of nearly one meter from Fu Lichen, and looked at the man with a wary expression.
Just this glance cooled down all of Fu Lichen's excitement and impatience, and his heart seemed to be stuffed with a large bucket of ice slag, which was cold to the bone.
But he couldn't see anything on his face.
Fu Lichen regained his usual composure and asked, "Where did you go yesterday?" β
Xu Xiaxi replied lightly: "I'm going home." β
"It's just going home, there's no need to return the hotel room, right? Didn't we say that when this matter is over, I will ...... with you."
"My home is in Beijing, what does it look like to stay in a hotel all day? Besides, if I'm not mistaken, this case is yours and has nothing to do with me. Xu Xiaxi interrupted Fu Lichen's words, and even showed an impeccable and decent smile on his face.
Fu Lichen frowned, he didn't expect Xu Xiaxi to take the contract to talk about things, so he said: "You are still my assistant now, even if your name is not on the power of attorney, you will have a share in this case." β
Xu Xiaxi was silent for two seconds, and then smiled faintly: "Even so, Lawyer Fu can't force the assistant to live in the hotel to work, right?" β
