The person involved turned out to be Gu Tanfeng.
The moment Gu Tanfeng saw Wan Qianqian, his eyes turned cold and his face sank.
This case was very special. He needed to keep an eye on it personally, but he did not expect to meet this woman.
He turned and walked out.
Lin Chenxi walked in with a few vice presidents. She blocked his way and asked with a smile, "President Gu, where are you going?"
This case involved the game between the Gu clan and a large country's plutocrat, and may even affect the economy of the entire C country. Everyone in the company attached great importance to it.
So he and a few vice presidents specially rushed over to have a look, but found that Mr Gu's face seemed to be a little unhappy.
Gu Tanfeng said with a cold face, "I request a change of lawyer."
Lin Chenxi and Wan Qianqian looked at each other.
Wan Qianqian's expression was wooden, sitting silently in her seat.
The two people seemed to have some misunderstanding.
He smiled and explained, "Mr Gu, let me introduce you. This is lawyer Wan. She has just returned from abroad. You should have heard that there is a Chinese female lawyer who is in the limelight in the world recently. She is the beauty in front of you."
Gu Tanfeng's face did not change, but he was shocked in his heart.
He did not know that in just five years, this woman had become a world-renowned lawyer.
Lin Chenxi said sincerely, "Lawyer Wan was poached by our company with great difficulty. Her strength is obvious to all. Mr Gu can trust her."
Several vice presidents also nodded quickly, obviously holding Wan Qianqian in high esteem.
Gu Tanfeng frowned.
Lin Chenxi saw that he did not relent and said with a smile, "Lawyer Wan has not lost a case so far."
Gu Tanfeng narrowed his eyes, as if assessing the value of Wan Qianqian.
Lin Chenxi did not urge him, but calmly threw out a sentence, "In this case, only lawyer Wan can help the Gu clan win."
Gu Tanfeng naturally weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and finally chose to stay.
Lin Chenxi and the company's vice presidents retreated with a smile and let them continue to chat.
When she closed the door, Lin Chenxi glanced at Wan Qianqian. She was still sitting there without any reaction.
So, what happened between the two of them?
…
Only Gu Tanfeng and Wan Qianqian were left in the office. They hadn't seen each other for so many years, and they were both silent.
Gu Tanfeng stood there coldly, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with coldness.
It was really hard to get close to him like this.
Wan Qianqian wasn't afraid of him. She just didn't want to talk.
The pain from five years ago, as well as what happened last night, made her afraid to face this person.
But what could he do? Since it was a work encounter, he could only … suppress all his emotions.
After a long time, she finally composed herself, picked up the case, and flipped through it. Then, she asked some routine questions in a businesslike manner.
There was no expression on Gu Tanfeng's face, and he answered whatever she asked.
Wan Qianqian closed the file: "According to our country's law, the Gu clan is not at fault. But the incident happened in A country, and A country has a strong sense of protecting local enterprises. This is not easy to deal with."
Gu Tanfeng naturally knew, otherwise he wouldn't have found Chenxi.
It was because Chenxi was very famous internationally that he hired her.
He raised the corner of his mouth: "What, you don't have the confidence to win? Just now, your boss said that only you can win this case. "
Wan Qianqian ignored his seeming mockery and said lightly, "Next, I may have to do a comprehensive understanding of your company. I hope you can cooperate."
Gu Tanfeng's face turned completely cold.
This woman, after seeing him, was actually so indifferent, and even had such a lukewarm look on her face.
He sneered: "I haven't seen you for five years, and you have grown a lot. It seems that Xu Changjun has taught you a lot."
Hearing the familiar name, Wan Qianqian looked up at him and said indifferently: "As a lawyer, I hope my client can fully cooperate with me. This is very helpful to the case."
Gu Tanfeng became more and more dissatisfied.
He mentioned Xu Changjun, but she downplayed it and didn't answer. In fact, she had a guilty conscience.
Five years ago, she ran away with Xu Changjun, and he sent people to track them down, but they found nothing.
Now that she came back, she not only acted as if nothing had happened, but also pretended not to know him …
"No problem, I will cooperate." He sneered. "However, there is one more thing I want to ask Lawyer Wan. Five years ago, my ex-wife left a divorce agreement and ran away with another man. Do you think if I pursue it now, will the other party be punished?"
Wan Qianqian's eyes became strange.
She heard between the lines of his words, but she didn't understand why he wanted to slander her.
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Tanfeng stared at her: "Lawyer Wan, tell me, what should I do according to the law for such a woman?"
Wan Qianqian didn't speak for a long time.
She lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
And he didn't say anything.
After a long time, Wan Qianqian opened the materials again and said: "The last question, what does Gu's want in the end?"
Gu Tanfeng didn't answer her, and he sneered: "By the way, what about Xu Changjun? Did you dump him?"
Wan Qianqian threw the pen in her hand: "Mr. Gu, I think we'd better get down to business. After all, if we lose the case, Gu's may face the danger of bankruptcy."
Gu Tanfeng stared at her.
His phoenix eyes were bottomless, cold and piercing, as if they were going to pierce her.
Wan Qianqian looked back at him: "If the other party insists on suing to the end, what will Gu's do?"
Even if they win the case, Gu's will consume a lot of manpower and time, so it's best to negotiate with the other party in private.
Of course, Gu Tanfeng was aware of the twists and turns in this. He snorted and said, "Then win. As for how you win, that's your business. I didn't hire you to be a freeloader."
Wan Qianqian ignored his sarcasm and said: "I see, I'll try my best."
Gu Tanfeng frowned: "If you're not sure, tell me as soon as possible, so that I can replace you."
Wan Qianqian slowly raised her lips: "Mr. Gu, rest assured, I won't let you down."
Being ridiculed by him, she actually felt very uncomfortable.
She used to love him so much, but what she got in return was his betrayal.
It wasn't her who did the wrong thing five years ago. He slept with his sister. Was it her fault?
Now he came to question her, and even slandered her with a groundless accusation …
Was she such an unbearable person in his heart?
She suppressed the jealousy in her heart, bowed her head, and slowly sorted out the files.
And Gu Tanfeng looked at her for a while with his arms crossed over his chest. She didn't know what he thought of, but his eyes suddenly flashed a trace of coldness, and he turned around to leave.
