The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zhao Shucheng was not so busy all of a sudden because he handed the acquisition of Daizhong to Wenrou. Just when he was preparing to take a break and spend some time with Wen Nuan, he received a call from Qin Shi.

Zhao Shucheng told Qin Shi: "Ms. Qin, I have handed over all matters concerning the acquisition to Director Wen of our company, so you can contact her directly in the future."

Qin Shi said, "Boss Xiaolu, I have found some new information here, and I think you need to know about it, so can you give me half an hour so we can talk in person?"

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, curious about what new information Qin Shi had found out, so he agreed and made an appointment to meet him at the coffee shop downstairs.

When Zhao Shucheng arrived at the coffee shop, he saw Qin Shi had arrived early and was waiting for him.

He greeted and said, "Lawyer Qin, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"No, I came too early. By the way, Mr. Xiaolu, here are the materials. You can take a look at them."

Qin Shi handed Zhao Shucheng a file bag and said, "We found out that Zhu Linghong, the R&D manager of Daizhong, bought a luxury car and a villa for his girlfriend some time ago, and he used the company's account. He is suspected of embezzling public funds. I think this can be a breakthrough for our acquisition."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the document and said with a smile, "Cheng and Hui's work ability really didn't disappoint me. You can discuss it with Director Wen to see how to do it. But they are my family after all, and I don't want us to make it too ugly. If we can get them to give in voluntarily, that would be the best option."

Seeing Qin Shi nodded, Zhao Shucheng said: "Okay, the matter is resolved, I'll leave first."

Qin Shi looked at Zhao Shucheng, hesitant for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Zhao Shucheng was a little surprised when he saw it. He didn't really think that he was the destined protagonist and that every woman would like him when they saw him, so he asked curiously: "Lawyer Qin, do you have anything to say?"

"Mr. Xiaolu, the situation is like this..."

Zhao Shucheng nodded after listening and said, "So what you mean is that your master and leader both want you to have a special relationship with me, and in order to stay in Cheng Yu Hui, you are prepared to agree to their request, right?"

"No, I just want to borrow your name. As long as it allows me to stay in Cheng Yu Hui, I will never have any other thoughts."

Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. Seeing Qin Shi's ugly face, he smiled and said, "I can promise you, but what benefits can you give me? You also know that Wen Nuan and I are about to get married. If the rumor about you and me gets out at this time, and we break up, can you compensate me? Besides, the rules of your law firm are a bit weird. Single female employees are not trustworthy, and even married people can only be promoted. Isn't this a disguised form of gender discrimination?"

"But I think that being single or not is not important. Instead, the most important thing is the interest relationship. If you can bring benefits to your law firm, or even big clients, I don't think they will give up on you just because you are single or not."

Qin Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know what you said, but I am just an intern lawyer in the law firm and I have no say at all. Even if I really want to change this situation, I have to wait until I become a partner."

Zhao Shucheng agreed and said, "Yes, everything is the result of power, but you really have to think it through. I am getting married to Wen Nuan now, and then you will be the mistress who interferes with other people's marriages. Do you think your law firm can accept you like this?"

"I think this should be no problem. My master asked me to borrow your name, and Director Tang also asked me to have a good relationship with you. Even if there are any problems, you can't blame me for everything, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Lawyer Qin, I am now convinced that you are indeed a recent graduate, so your thinking is so immature. Your law firm has always required female employees to be married, and there is actually a reason for this. After all, being married can make it easier for you to keep a certain distance from big clients when you come into contact with them, and prevent you from developing feelings for them, or even being labeled a mistress, which would affect the reputation of the law firm."

"So what you said about your leaders not caring is not true. Their purpose now is nothing more than to win over Xingchen, a big client, so they asked you to have a good relationship with me. But if there is any negative news at that time, they can also claim that it is the personal behavior of the employees and directly kick you out of the law firm. It will not have any impact on Cheng Yu Hui at all."

Qin Shi actually had this concern, so she decided to tell Zhao Shucheng the truth, hoping to borrow the identity of Zhao Shucheng's girlfriend instead of being a real girlfriend. She just didn't want this situation to happen, where the law firm would gain profits while she would suffer losses. Wouldn't she die unjustly?
Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, but seeing that this face looked very similar to Yang Zixi and that Yang Zixi had given birth to his child, he decided to help her.

"How about this, you can tell your law firm that I'm pursuing you and Xuancheng is my woman, and see if they will really give you a permanent job and a promotion. I will also arrange for someone to send you flowers every day, just consider it my advance investment. If you really become a big lawyer, I will ask you to sue me, but you have to give me a discount."

Although Qin Shi felt that this was not a good idea, he had no choice but to do so if he wanted to stay in Cheng and Hui, so he agreed.

What she didn't expect was that when she returned to the law firm and reported the situation to Tang Yihui and said that Zhao Shucheng Zhenzhubei was pursuing her, Tang Yihui was so excited that she even suggested that Qin Shi just win Zhao Shucheng over and marry her, which would be a good thing for both her and the law firm.

"Xiao Qin, I can tell you're talented the moment you arrived. If you marry Mr. Xiao Lu, all future cooperation with Xingchen Investment can be done in our law firm. We can make an exception and let you end your probation period early, and directly promote you to a senior partner of our law firm."

Qin Shi responded perfunctorily, but felt a little disappointed after she came out. She originally thought that she could rely on her own abilities to gain a place in Cheng Yu Hui, but she didn't expect that she would have to rely on this method.

Thinking of Tang Yihui's promise of promotion to partner, he suddenly felt that it was meaningless. Even if he was really promoted, he would just be a chess piece that could be discarded at will. Thinking of what Bian Jing had told him before that singles could not be promoted to partners, it was just an excuse for insufficient benefits, and it was also a rule that the law firm could discard at any time, and it was not even as important as a rumored scandal.

Bian Jing had actually been waiting for Qin Shi to come back, so when she saw Qin Shi coming down from the eleventh floor, she hugged her and went to her office to ask about the situation.
Qin Shi still had some respect for this master, so she told her the truth directly, saying that she would have the title of Mr. Xiaolu's rumored girlfriend, and nothing else.

Bian Jing said with some regret: "That's such a pity. You just lost the chance to become a rich wife."

"There's nothing to regret. After all, I'm not really single. I like my senior from college who is also a lawyer. I don't want this relationship to end like this." Bian Jing was stunned when she heard this. She quickly opened the door and looked outside. After finding no one, she closed the door and whispered, "Qin Shi, are you crazy? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a boyfriend? If you had told me, I would never let you get in touch with Mr. Xiaolu."

"It shouldn't be a big deal, right? After all, we are only in name only. He wants to get married, and I can't just be his rumored girlfriend and not date or get married, right?"

Seeing that Qin Shi didn't care at all, Bian Jing couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed and said, "If only things were as simple as you think. Do you know what would happen if Xiaolu heard that you had a boyfriend? Even if Xiaolu didn't know, have you ever thought about what would happen if other people in the law firm knew? Whether it's to appease Xiaolu's anger or because they don't want to lose Xingchen's cooperation, the director and others will push you out as a scapegoat. By then, you might not be able to continue working as a lawyer."

Qin Shi frowned and said, "Do I have to be bound to the identity of this rumored girlfriend for the rest of my life? Can't I have my own life?"

"Of course you can, but all this will happen after you break up peacefully. However, you may face new problems by then, that is, you will not be valued, and even the promoted partners will be demoted." Bian Jing was also a little overwhelmed. Now that she thought about it, it was a bad idea that she gave Qin Shi.

"Forget it. We can deal with it as it comes. Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time. Besides, our relationship is a very private matter, so it shouldn't be noticed by others."

Hearing Qin Shi say this, Bian Jing said helplessly: "It can only be done this way, but I tell you, you must make it clear to your senior and keep it confidential, otherwise both of you may have a hard time in the legal profession."

"I understand. Thank you, Sister Jing."

Zhao Shucheng was being asked by Wen Nuan in the office: "Zhu Linlu, what did you do just now?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and told her about Qin Shi's visit to him just now, and even confessed to Wen Nuan that he promised to give her the title of rumored girlfriend so that she could gain a foothold in the law firm.

"Tell me the truth, are you tempted? Otherwise, how could you agree to such a ridiculous condition, and not even ask for anything in return?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I just think this is fun, and having a lawyer friend who knows me well is also a good choice. I am investing in her now. If she has a conscience in the future, she will definitely help us solve many problems. Besides, I can't lose my reputation as a playboy. If I maintain it well, maybe she will bring us surprises in the future."

Wen Nuan rolled her eyes at Zhao Shucheng. In fact, she could easily guess what Zhao Shucheng was thinking, but she just couldn't accept it. However, she didn't object to Zhao Shucheng maintaining his playboy persona. After all, if what happened that night was exposed, the media would only discuss his gossip and would not cause any trouble to her and her sister.

As expected, Zhao Shucheng can now be considered a news hotspot. Photos of him meeting Qin Shi soon appeared on the Internet, making Cheng and Hui famous as well.

Of course, Zhao Shucheng’s public relations department quickly refuted the rumor, but the majority of netizens didn’t care at all. Instead, they started a heated discussion about Zhao Shucheng’s scandal.

Qin Shi was also nervous at first, fearing that the emergence of these scandals would affect him, but after being worried for a whole day, he found that there was no impact at all. In other words, after he became famous, some people took the initiative to find Cheng Yuhui and asked him to represent their cases.

Unfortunately, Tang Yihui attached more importance to the cooperation with Xingchen this time, so she asked Bian Jing to take Qin Shi to organize the information needed for the acquisition of Daizhong, and asked Qin Shi to report the situation to Zhao Shucheng in person.

Even if Qin Shi told Tang Yihui that Zhao Shucheng had handed over the acquisition case to Xingchen's director Wen Rou, Tang Yihui could not change her mind. She even felt that sometimes it would be more effective if she reported to Zhao Shucheng in person.

When Wenrou saw Qin Shi coming to negotiate the acquisition of Daizhong, she couldn't help but look her up and down. She had to admit that she was indeed young and beautiful. At least she and Wen Nuan were much older than her and did not have the same youthful aura as her. She couldn't help but start to worry about her sister.

Qin Shi felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Wenrou's gaze. She couldn't help but look at her clothes. She didn't find anything wrong or inappropriate, so she asked, "Director Wen, is there anything wrong?"

"No, Lawyer Qin, keep talking!"

"Okay, the current situation in Daizhong is..."

Wenrou nodded after listening to Qin Shi's report and said, "Yes, you Cheng and Hui are really capable. You were able to investigate these details so quickly, which is very helpful for our acquisition. It also coincides with our plan. I am looking forward to working with you this time."

"Director Wen, you are too polite. This is what we should do. By the way, do we need to notify Mr. Xiaolu?"

"No need, just follow the procedures. I will tell him the details. But Lawyer Qin, you should know that Xiaolu and Xiaonuan are getting married, right? You are a lawyer, aren't you worried..."

"Director Wen, you misunderstood. Mr. Xiaolu and I are just friends. You wouldn't believe the rumors on the Internet like everyone else, would you?"

"Really? I hope so. Wen Nuan is my sister. I won't sit idly by and watch others bully her, nor will I watch her feel sad."

Qin Shi smiled and said, "Director Wen, don't worry. I, Qin Shi, am not someone who destroys families."

Wenrou looked at Qin Shi, smiled, and then stopped talking about this topic and started discussing the follow-up issues of this acquisition with her. (End of this chapter)
