Chapter 2919 An Awkward Scene with Xia Shu

"Chen Wu..." Xia Shu almost blurted out after walking in, something she learned from Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua.

She quickly and playfully stuck out her tongue to correct herself. "Attorney Chen!"

In contrast, Chen Shuo's lips twitched slightly. You really can't get angry with someone like this, because this young lady in front of you has no bad intentions whatsoever and acts entirely on her own whims.

"Attorney Xia, please have a seat!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Xia Shu looked at the office in front of her and pouted, her disdain almost overflowing from her eyes.

After sitting down, he casually crossed his two long legs.

He complained, "Your office isn't that great either; it's not even as big as mine at Liangcheng Law Firm!"

Indeed, in order to please Lao Xia, Fang Lihong gave her the best office in the entire institute.

They even provided her with a car, a secretary, and a driver; the only thing missing was a nanny. As long as Xia Shu obediently acted as a mascot, none of the partners had any objections.

After all, compared to an office, the projects that come with it are the real profits. Everyone is making a fortune, so who cares about these petty gains?

In a sense, this was probably a miscalculation on Fang Lihong's part, which indirectly led to the major crisis facing Liangcheng, because this shortcut is not so easy to take.

Chen Shuo looked at Xia Shu in front of him. She was tall, about 1.7 meters, with a high ponytail, graceful figure, and smooth and natural facial features, which outlined a stunningly beautiful face.

She was wearing a dark green long trench coat and leather ankle boots, but what stood out most was her aura, as if she had never seen the world.

Well, their eyes were so clear, like a blank sheet of paper!
It was midday, and the sunlight shone on her as she sat on the sofa. Her already fair and snow-white skin appeared even more translucent and radiant, like a piece of warm, smooth white jade, exuding a faint glow.

He couldn't resist teasing her: "Attorney Xia, you didn't come all this way just to find fault with my office, did you?"

"How about you introduce me to a few projects? I'd like to make some money and get promoted, then I can move to a bigger office!"

"Hmph!" The haughty little princess pouted. "I'm not going to introduce any projects to you, you unscrupulous lawyer!"

This statement is both laughable and pathetic.

Xia Shu's starting point was a ceiling that ordinary girls could never reach in their entire lives. Her father was a high-ranking leader, and she grew up in a sweet environment. She entered the law firm and immediately had her own office. She became a partner without any assessment and spent her days playing games and slacking off at her workstation.

Fang Lihong's biggest requirement for her is that she can do anything as long as she doesn't cause trouble.

So she was like a happy little husky all day long, happy every day with the title of partner, and energetic when she went to work. She thought the world would always revolve around her.

When she could help Luo Yingzi, she flung out her bank card and said, "Anything that can be solved with money is a small matter." She even paid the rent for the witness and played the emotional card for Ma Lili. In her eyes, rules were probably nothing but bullshit!
Like Han Zhitong, Chen Shuo didn't bother arguing with this little brat. Right now, she was just an immature child, far from the Xia Shu who would rise up on her own after her father's downfall.

"Attorney Xia, what exactly do you want to see me about?"

"How dare you ask that?" Xia Shu suddenly stood up, hands on her hips, her bright eyes staring straight at Chen Shuo, making Xiao Long Bao tremble with anger.

"Pfft~" Chen Shuo, who has been reborn, has received professional training and usually doesn't laugh unless he really can't help it.

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Shu asked, as if she had been offended.

She pouted, looking utterly aggrieved. "You, Han Zhitong, and those people are all birds of a feather!"

"I never expected you people to be like this!"

"What did Luo Yingzi and Qiu Hua do wrong? Guo Yu was clearly being harassed, why are you defending that scoundrel!" "Now both Lawyer Luo and Qiu Hua are about to be fired!"

"It's all thanks to you!"

Are you happy now?

"Why should I be happy?" Chen Shuo didn't know why, but he just couldn't get angry at all.

"Whether you're happy or not is up to you!" Xia Shu said, looking like a child who was angry. She plopped down on the sofa, put her hands on her hips, and pouted.

"That old bastard Han Zhitong, I just don't understand why he's so happy when our law firm loses a case?"

"It's as if they'd love for the law firm to make a fool of itself!"

"His mouth was stretched so wide it almost reached the back of his head, I was so angry I couldn't even eat my lunch properly!"

The same words of complaint have two different meanings when spoken by Luo Yingzi and Xia Shu.

Luo Yingzi knows everything, yet she still makes such basic mistakes, which makes her somewhat annoying.

But Xia Shu in front of you is different. She is like a child, controlled by her emotions. Sometimes she does stupid things, but she is so cute and silly that you can't get angry with her because she really doesn't understand!
If the plot unfolds as it should, she will be fired from the law firm because of her father's accident, only then realizing how fragile the bubble of privilege is, and slowly beginning to grow up.

The education she received will have great potential once she grows up. This is the importance of education. What you learn through exposure will last a lifetime. It's just that she is currently in a greenhouse and hasn't experienced the storms of life.

Just like in the drama, she even crawled under a truck to negotiate in order to collect debts, and negotiated the agency fee down from 15% to 20%. This kind of "down-to-earth" ruthlessness is not something that ordinary people can possess!

There's a saying that goes, "Only by experiencing trials and tribulations can one truly grow!"

Slowly and silently, she has transformed from someone who didn't even understand real life after her parents' accident, to someone who dared to stay in a hotel that cost 800 yuan a night when she only had 5000 yuan in her pocket.

Gradually, she transformed into someone who no longer uses family matters as leverage to gain sympathy, no longer relies on the charity of others, and even learned to heal her wounds alone in the gap between work and family.

Xia Shu, under the protection of her father's power, was a typical "career baby". She could play games in the office all day, take cases based on her mood, and get promoted to a full-time position and partner entirely through her father's pressure on the law firm.

This distorted way of life collapsed instantly after the father's downfall. Facing the realities of society, he finally understood the operating rules of the real world: no one is obligated to bail you out.

Without her father, she was nothing!
The only option is to start from scratch and take it one step at a time.

This clear-headedness was fully demonstrated in the Zhang Lan case. She no longer relied on her father's resources, but personally went to the scene to collect evidence, and even used the dark humor of "my father's case involves three times the amount of yours" to intimidate her opponents at the negotiating table.

Ultimately, it comes down to knowing how to leverage this advantage. The road ahead will be much smoother. After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Xia family's dilapidated ship still has three iron nails. That's their foundation.

"None of you are any good!" Xia Shu, who had been criticizing everyone, glared and made her final conclusion.

"Yes, yes, we are all bad people!" In the past half hour, Chen Shuo kept fiddling with his phone and also had to refill the little princess's tea and water, afraid that her mouth would get dry from cursing.

"Old Chen, Yang Weida's side just now..." When Xue Xiaofeng pushed open the door and entered, he was somewhat embarrassed by the scene before him.

From his perspective, Chen Shuo's posture while pouring water was very unseemly, as if he were pinning Xia Shu against the wall.

"You... continue!" he said, turning to leave.

To be continued...
