Gu Nianzhi was sitting next to Xiao Zhang, but the man ignored her and handed the business card to Xiao Zhang at the front desk. He didn't even look at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank. The Qin family had already come knocking on her door, so how could she not show this person her photo?
How could he not know what she looked like?
He clearly recognized her, but he pretended not to.
This kind of behavior had already expressed their attitude.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything. She got up and left. She walked to the only room in their small law firm and slammed the door.
There were only two rooms in this small firm. The lawyer's office was inside, and the front desk was outside.
Xiao Zhang was almost dumbfounded by the man's business card.
The big shot that they had just been gossiping about had suddenly descended from the sky and stood in front of her..
Oh my god! Her legs had gone limp!
She didn't even notice when Gu Nianzhi had left. She only came back to her senses when she heard the door slam. She said enthusiastically, "Mr. Fang, right? Are you really the secretary of the president of the Qin Corporation?! "
This man was the first secretary of the chairman and president of the Qin Corporation.
He smiled reservedly and nodded. "This is our company's phone number. If you don't believe me, you can call to check. Our chairman's motorcade is still parked at the entrance of the building. The police have sent people downstairs to secure the building. "
Xiao Zhang gasped and quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go look for lawyer Gu!"
She got up and knocked on the office door, but there was no sound from inside.
Xiao Zhang was stunned for a moment. She returned to the front desk and called Gu Nianzhi.
In order to show her respect for the chairman of the Qin Corporation, Xiao Zhang put the phone on speaker.
"Lawyer Gu, the chairman of the Qin Corporation wants to see you." Xiao Zhang was so excited that her voice was trembling.
Gu Nianzhi's calm voice came through the phone. "Really? Do you have an appointment? "
Secretary Fang: "…"
She was really putting on airs!
Xiao Zhang: "…"
Oh my! Lawyer Gu was so cool!
Xiao Zhang had been suppressed by the aura of the secretary of the Qin Corporation's president, but when she heard Gu Nianzhi's calm demeanor, she immediately calmed down.
She turned off the speaker and picked up the phone. Xiao Zhang's professional front desk manner also came out.
Her voice was even sweeter. "Lawyer Gu, let me check your appointment record."
She pretended to dig through the computer. After a while, she said regretfully, "The other party doesn't have an appointment."
Of course there was no appointment.
Gu Nianzhi had only been working for a week and hadn't seen a single client. How could there be an appointment?!
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's lips curled up in the inner office. She turned her chair to look out the window.
The second floor did not have a good view of the skyline. All he could see was the building right in front of him, and it was completely blocked.
However, she was no different from sitting in Speaker Long's office overlooking the beautiful scenery of the entire imperial capital. She continued to say calmly, "Then make an appointment. I've been very busy recently. I won't be free until next week at the earliest. "
Xiao Zhang worshipped Gu Nianzhi to death. How could she lie without batting an eyelid in front of such a rich and powerful person?!
Anyway, the other party didn't want to see her, so Xiao Zhang immediately went into spectator mode and cooperated with Gu Nianzhi's performance.
She raised her head and smiled at the secretary. "Hello, would you like to make an appointment?"
Secretary Fang thought he had heard wrong. He tilted his head and pointed his ear at Xiao Zhang. "What did you say? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. "
Xiao Zhang smiled and thought to herself that the CEO's secretary was actually deaf. If such a person could be the CEO's secretary of the Qin Corporation, then wouldn't a receptionist like her have a bright future?
Thinking this, Xiao Zhang still smiled professionally and said again, "You need to make an appointment to see our lawyer. When do you want to make an appointment? Our lawyer Gu is very busy, and the latest time is next week. "
Secretary Fang choked. He turned his head to look at the smiling receptionist and roared in his heart to refuse.
She needed to make an appointment?!
To think that he would be able to do whatever he wanted in the entire Huaxia Empire with Chairman Qin!
Even if he wanted to see General He now, his personal secretary wouldn't dare mention the word "appointment", let alone a lawyer from a small law firm!
After so many years, he actually heard the word "appointment" again. Haha, Gu Nianzhi really thought of herself as a big shot, didn't she?
No wonder Dean Qin didn't like her …
Secretary Fang's expression froze for a moment. He wanted nothing more than to turn around and leave.
But when he thought about how the chairman had traveled from south to north, and then from north to south, just to see this woman, what could he do?
Of course, he gave in.
Secretary Fang looked constipated and said stiffly, "Our chairman wants to see Gu Nianzhi, not for business, but for personal matters. May I ask if you need to make an appointment for a personal matter? "
Sigh!
The young and beautiful lawyer Gu, who had just graduated from a third-rate law firm, had a personal matter with the chairman of the world-class Qin Corporation?!
Xiao Zhang was blown away by this news.
In an instant, she imagined several love and hate stories from the CEO's novels.
Heavy, heavy!
Her fingers subconsciously touched her phone. She wanted nothing more than to immediately post on Weibo, "Why did the chairman of the Qin Corporation privately meet the young and beautiful lawyer Gu from the Jin Law Firm?!"
The sensational title, coupled with the back view of the CEO's secretary, lawyer Gu's face would definitely immediately become a hot topic. She would also be able to gain a wave of fans …
Little Zhang struggled in his heart, and it took him a long time to regain his rationality.
If she dared to use this news to become a hot topic, whether it was lawyer Gu or the Qin Corporation, they would tear her apart alive.
Stop it, stop it.
Gaining fans was important, but life was more valuable.
Looking at Secretary Fang's fake smile, Xiao Zhang had no choice but to call Gu Nianzhi again. "Lawyer Gu, the other party said that he was looking for you for personal matters, not business."
Gu Nianzhi smiled widely in the inner office and said righteously, "If it's not business, then it shouldn't be. We work for people, so how can we do personal matters during office hours? Please ask that gentleman to leave our office and not interfere with everyone's work. "
Everyone was actually just two people.
Xiao Zhang was extremely curious, but she still knew her duty as a receptionist. She also wanted to send this man away so that she could interrogate Gu Nianzhi about her relationship with the Qin Corporation.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhang spread out her hands at the secretary. "I'm sorry, our lawyer Gu said that it's working hours now, so she can't handle personal matters. Please go back."
Secretary Fang was furious.
How many large meetings had he organized?
How many meetings had he coordinated between the heads of state and his boss?
How did he get screwed over in a small law firm?
Secretary Fang turned off the pinhole camera on his lapel and slammed the front desk. With a dark expression, he said, "… Okay, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit."
He turned around and left. He kicked open the glass door of the small law firm and went back to the 30th floor to report.
At that moment, Old Master Qin, the 70-year-old chairman of the Qin Corporation, was having a meeting with the president and chairman of the Lu Corporation, Lu Yuan.
"President Lu, this time, our company has completely replaced the computer security system. We've inspected many companies, and your bid is the most suitable for our requirements."
Old Master Qin sat on the sofa in Lu Yuan's office. He held a cup of kung fu tea in his hand and lowered his head to sniff the fragrance of the tea.
He was wearing a Tang shirt and trousers made of fragrant cloud gauze. His hair was all white, but his face was rosy. He looked ancient and very stylish.
Lu Yuan brought his technical director, operations director, and finance director to sit opposite Old Master Qin. He smiled and picked up a cup of kung fu tea to sniff it. He said, "Thank you for your kindness, Old Master Qin. It was a pleasant surprise that our company was able to win the bid this time."
The technical director of the Lu Corporation was Zhao Liangze.
He was the one who had drafted the bid.
He also smiled and said, "Old Master Qin is really bold. When we were bidding, your vice president once said that our bid was too expensive. I hope it's not too expensive, hahahaha …"
Old Master Qin also laughed out loud and said, "They're petty. They only know how to save money for me. But didn't they think that in terms of network security, they could also save money?! — I believe in the technology of the head office. If you don't have a diamond, don't do porcelain work. It's too cheap. I'm worried that they don't have the ability! "
The Qin Medical Group's assets were now spread all over the world, and the security of the entire group's network system was even more urgent.
It wasn't something that could be solved by installing a 3X0 system.
"In the end, Old Master Qin still knows what's good for him." Lu Yuan smiled, and the corners of his lips curled into a happy arc. The lines at the corners of his long and narrow eyes rose, and he was so charming that people couldn't close their legs.
The female secretaries and female executives on Old Master Qin's side quickly retracted their gazes and didn't dare to look anymore.
If they continued to look, they would probably fall into an extramarital relationship..
They quickly agreed on the general direction of the cooperation, and the specific contract would be negotiated by the executives, lawyers, and accountants of both sides.
The total value of the entire contract could exceed one billion yuan, and each clause had to be verified by the lawyers and accountants of both sides.
Zhao Liangze led them out of Lu Yuan's office and went to the conference room next door to discuss the contract.
Only Lu Yuan and Old Master Qin were left in the office.
They drank kung fu tea and chatted until Secretary Fang's slightly urgent knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Come in." Lu Yuan glanced at Old Master Qin and asked the people outside to let him in.
Secretary Fang walked in with a sullen face and nodded at Lu Yuan. "CEO Lu."
Lu Yuan smiled at him. "Hello, Secretary Fang. I was wondering why Old Master Qin didn't bring his most trusted Secretary Fang when he came to our place."
This compliment was just right. Old Master Qin and Secretary Fang both laughed.
Secretary Fang composed himself and said to Old Master Qin, "Chairman, Gu Nianzhi said that you can only see her if you make an appointment."
Old Master Qin: "…"
Lu Yuan: "…"
Secretary Fang was extremely happy to see the expressions on the faces of these two people.
As expected, it was better to be wronged than to be wronged alone.
He felt comfortable when he saw that others were unhappy as well.
The corners of Old Master Qin's mouth twitched. "What did you say? She really wants to make an appointment?! What exactly did you say? "
Secretary Fang glanced at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan stood up and put his hands in his trouser pockets. He said calmly, "I'm going out for a while."
Old Master Qin waved for him to sit down. "President Lu isn't an outsider. There's no need to avoid him."
He explained to Lu Yuan, "It's like this. This Gu Nianzhi is actually my granddaughter. She was born to my good-for-nothing daughter before she married General He. She only gave birth to this one child in her life, and they're like fire and water. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wanted to meet this child and be a peacemaker for the mother and daughter. "
Lu Yuan replied with an "oh" and sat down with a smile. "So that's how it is. Old Master Qin is already so old, but he's still worried about his children."
"Not at all …" Old Master Qin shook his head with emotion. "When I was young, I was also focused on my career and didn't pay much attention to my daughter. By the time I remembered to care more about her, she had already grown up and become an adult. She had her own values and principles. It was too late … too late … "
Lu Yuan smiled but didn't say anything.
This was someone else's family matter, so it wasn't appropriate for him to interrupt.
Old Master Qin played with the iron walnut and said to Secretary Fang, "… You also need to make an appointment for private matters? Didn't you make it clear? "
"I did." Secretary Fang took out the pinhole camera he had on him. "I recorded it all. Take a look for yourself."
Otherwise, if Old Master Qin thought that he was playing tricks, he really wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
Secretary Fang transferred the contents of the pinhole camera to his phone and showed it to Old Master Qin.
Lu Yuan sat opposite him. Although he couldn't see the contents of the video, he could clearly hear the voice coming from the phone's microphone.
When they heard someone say, "I'm sorry, our lawyer Gu said that it's working hours now and we don't deal with private matters. Please go back."
Lu Yuan and Old Master Qin laughed together.
Old Master Qin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "I like this child! This posture, this style, she's neither servile nor overbearing, and she's not led by the nose. I like her so much! I want her to change her surname to Qin and be a child of our Qin family. "
Lu Yuan: "…"
Secretary Fang: "!!!"
Old Master Qin waved his hand. "Just go and make an appointment with her. I can afford to wait!"
Secretary Fang had no choice but to go down to the second floor dejectedly. He pushed the door open again and entered the Jin family law firm. He said politely to the young lady at the front desk, "Hello, I'd like to make an appointment to see lawyer Gu."
It had only been ten minutes since they last met, but this person's attitude was much more sincere and he wasn't as arrogant as before.
Xiao Zhang looked at Secretary Fang in surprise. After a while, he picked up the phone and called Gu Nianzhi. "Lawyer Gu, the chairman of the Qin Corporation wants to make an appointment with you. When are you free?"
At this time, Gu Nianzhi was in the inner office searching for information about the Qin Corporation.
The more she looked, the more amazed she became.
Such a large corporation had hospitals and investments all over the world. It could be ranked in the top 100 of the world's largest corporations.
It was indeed very impressive.
The chairman of such a large corporation wanted to see her only for Qin Yaoguang's sake.
This was because the chairman's only daughter was Qin Yaoguang, and Gu Nianzhi happened to be Qin Yaoguang's only daughter.
When she received another call from Xiao Zhang at the front desk, Gu Nianzhi didn't continue to put on airs. She said, "Since they're so sincere, I can squeeze half an hour to see them tomorrow morning."
Secretary Fang agreed and said, "I'll go back and make an appointment."
After returning to the 30th floor and discussing with Old Master Qin, they arranged to meet on the 18th floor of this building.
Because they had negotiated a contract with Lu Yuan's company, the Qin Corporation had also rented an office space in this building for the convenience of future cooperation. They planned to move the IT-related departments here.
Jin Dazhuang came back in the afternoon. He was also surprised to hear about Gu Nianzhi from the front desk.
He walked to Gu Nianzhi's desk with a thermos cup filled with wolfberries and asked with concern, "Nianzhi, what's going on between you and the Qin Corporation?"
Gu Nianzhi looked up at him and shrugged. "I don't know either. I'm also very confused about why you suddenly came to see me. "
"Okay, do you want me to go with you tomorrow?" Jin Dazhuang saw that she was a little girl and was very afraid that something would happen to her.
Gu Nianzhi's heart warmed. She thought to herself that although she wasn't popular with her family, she was still popular with passers-by. She could always meet people who were willing to treat her well and show kindness.
She shook her head with a smile and pointed above her head. "No need, it's on the 18th floor here. If anything goes wrong, I'll call you right away. "
"Okay." Jin Dazhuang was relieved to hear that they would meet here.
..
After a night of rest, Gu Nianzhi went to work in high spirits the next day.
Jin Dazhuang and Xiao Zhang at the front desk cheered her on. "Good luck! It's best if you can curry favor with the Qin Corporation. We'll follow you and live a good life! "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Don't dream on such a clear day. Wake up and order takeout for me. I didn't have breakfast this morning."
She tossed and turned last night and fell asleep very late. Even the alarm clock in the morning didn't wake her up and she was almost late.
Of course, she didn't eat breakfast.
"Go ahead, I'll order it for you." Xiao Zhang at the front desk quickly picked up her phone to order for her.
Gu Nianzhi walked to the elevator.
This was the first time she had taken the elevator upstairs.
In the past, she had always taken the stairs directly.
When she arrived at the 18th floor, Secretary Fang was waiting for her at the door.
As soon as he saw her coming out of the elevator, he quickly walked over and said, "Miss Gu, this way please."
"Please call me lawyer Gu." Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Our law firm's rule is that the first half an hour of meeting with a client is free."
Secretary Fang: "…"
Was he going to call her professional or stupid?
He glanced at her and walked in front of her to push open the door of the conference room.
This was a small conference room on the 18th floor. There were seven or eight people sitting on both sides of the long conference table, and the entire conference room was packed.
At the head of the table sat an old man with white hair and a youthful face. He was probably Chairman Qin.
There were also two people she knew. One was Ms. Qin Yaoguang, whose hand was wrapped in white gauze.
The other was Zhao Liangze.
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and thought to herself that Qin Yaoguang was here. Could Wen Shouyi be far away?
She glanced around but didn't see Wen Shouyi.
"Is it Nianzhi? I've finally seen you. "Old Master Qin smiled and waved at her.
Gu Nianzhi walked in and sat down at the place designated by Old Master Qin.
Old Master Qin first introduced her to the people in the conference room. "Everyone, this is Gu Nianzhi. She's my granddaughter, and my daughter only has one daughter."
As he spoke, he said to Gu Nianzhi, "These are all people from our company. They're all your uncles and uncles."
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched and she nodded politely at them. Of course, she didn't call them "uncles and uncles".
Those people didn't dare to and all came over to shake hands with her.
Old Master Qin introduced the people on the other side. "They're from the Lu Corporation. You work here, so it's never bad to get to know more people."
"This is President Lu, and this is Director Zhao …"
Gu Nianzhi memorized them one by one and exchanged business cards with them.
The atmosphere became harmonious. Seeing that the time was right, Old Master Qin smiled and said, "Nianzhi, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown up. I know you've been wronged. I've already said it to your mother, so you should also take a step back and apologize to your mother. We're all family, so don't treat me like an outsider. "
Gu Nianzhi felt extremely awkward when she heard this.
She said it was family business, but didn't she feel awkward talking about family business in front of a bunch of outsiders?
She said it was business, but she didn't talk about the company's business.
So he wanted to use outsiders to pressure her to shake hands with Qin Yaoguang?
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said aloofly, "Mr. Qin, I'm here today for business."
Old Master Qin laughed loudly. "Child, you have the same temper as your mother. No wonder you're at odds with each other!"
Qin Yaoguang said reluctantly, "Nianzhi, don't be like this in the future."
F * ck, it's her fault now?
Gu Nianzhi's anger flared.
However, she didn't show it on her face. She said, "I don't understand what you mean. May I ask what it is for?"
"Nianzhi …" Old Master Qin said earnestly, "Your mother doesn't have bad intentions. She's just straightforward. She's been doing scientific research all her life, so her words aren't pleasant to hear. If she offends you …"
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help it anymore. She smiled and nodded. "Indeed. Mrs. Qin really isn't an ordinary straightforward person. She's like an earthworm that has turned into a spirit, and her intestines are open to the end. "
To be able to say to her own daughter that she didn't treat her as her own daughter and that she was just someone else's medicine, this kind of straightforward person could only be explained by "an earthworm that has turned into a spirit".
