Chapter 2944 Xia Shu's "Bizarre" Actions

"Lawyer Chen!"

"Hmm~"

When facing some intern lawyers, Chen Shuo didn't put on a stern face like the other partners.

Good morning, Attorney Chen!

"Congratulations, Lao Zhao! I heard you've signed another big project!"

And senior partners at the same level are even more enthusiastic.

Although they were competitors within the same law firm, and this project was, in a sense, snatched from their own hands, they were constantly running into each other, and competing for projects was commonplace for them.

There's only one piece of cake. If you eat more, others will eat less. If you want to eat your fill or even stuff yourself, you'll naturally have to use all your own methods.

The legal profession is a place that reveres the strong. Unlike other organizations, no one cares whether you live or die here.

If you're capable, then eat your fill; if you're not, then let others take your orders and you deserve to starve!

Don't expect the head of the law firm to uphold justice for you. He only cares about whether the firm's profits will increase. What does it matter to the head of the firm who brought them here?
"Good morning, Attorney Chen!"

Seeing Qiu Hua greet him, Chen Shuo returned the greeting with a perfunctory politeness: "Lawyer Qiu, how are you adapting?"

Is there anything I can help you with?

"Without Lawyer Chen, the team is doing just fine!" Qiu Hua is the kind of person who is usually quite reasonable. He can tell that the other person is just being polite. If you take it seriously, you've already lost.

I hadn't even settled into my seat back in the office when my phone rang.

"Brother!" The familiar voice came through the phone, and without guessing, I knew who was on the other end.
"Brother Zhou!"

"Sorry, bro, that shop is newly opened by me. The young guys there don't recognize you, and I already gave them a good scolding. Why are you letting just any Tom, Dick, or Harry in there?"

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of those two troublemakers, and I'll make sure your wife is satisfied!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo realized that Zhou Houze must have misunderstood.

"Big brother, is the matter with Lanlan over?" But she wasn't in the mood to explain too much to him, and directly changed the subject.

Because it's like those gangsters in society—you can befriend them, but it's best to keep your distance and never get too close to them.

To put it bluntly, although these people have been lucky enough to live comfortably until now, everyone gets their shoes wet eventually, and who knows what might happen to them one day.

Normal business dealings are fine, but if you get involved with them, it might end up getting you into trouble.

"Don't worry, bro. A bitch dares to mess with me. If I don't teach her a lesson, I'm not a Zhou. You... alright, alright, then we'll have time to drink together!"

Chen Shuo interrupted him on the phone, because saying anything further would be taboo, and what he did was none of his business...

Busy as we were, it was time to leave work before we knew it.

I'm in a good mood today because, unusually, there was no traffic on my way home. In the capital, this is practically a miracle. When did traffic become so smooth at 6 pm?

After parking the car in the underground garage, I took the elevator upstairs.

Someone came up to the first floor and pressed the button for the 18th floor below Chen Shuo's house, but as the elevator went up, something gradually felt off.

"Hey bro, can you smell something?" The guy in the elevator had a strong Northeastern accent.

"Something must have burned."

"Yes, it really does taste like burnt food!"

When they arrived at the 19th floor, Chen Shuo was startled when the elevator doors opened, because the burnt smell was coming from his own home.

He quickly grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed inside.

When they opened the door, they found Miss Xia Shu cooking with a disheveled look on her face!
Moreover, the kitchen and dining area were a complete mess, with all sorts of vegetable leaves scattered everywhere and splattered oil all over the range hood.

Needless to say, she herself was wearing several layers of protective gear, including a mask and apron, and even had a helmet that she somehow got her hands on, making it seem like she was going to fight in Iraq.

"This should be cooked by now, right?" The young lady muttered to herself as she poked at the dark, unidentifiable object in the pot.

What kind of bizarre thing is this?!
Is it cooking or tearing the house apart?

Even during the renovations, it wasn't this messy. How did cooking a dish turn into this mess? "What are you doing?"

Chen Shuo's sudden voice startled Xia Shu.

"Bang!" The spatula in my hand fell to the ground instantly.

"Why are you back?"

Hearing this, Chen Shuo was both amused and annoyed. "Big sister, this is my house, okay?"

"Wait... what are you doing here?"

He quickly turned off the stove and dumped the entire black "unidentified object" from the pot into the trash can at his feet.

"What are you doing?" Xia Shu was so upset that she almost cried when she saw her masterpiece, which she had worked so hard on all afternoon, being dumped in the trash can.

"Waaaaah~" She could no longer hold back her emotions and sat down on the ground with a thud, wailing as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had accumulated over the past few days.

"No..." Chen Shuo stood there holding the pot, not knowing what to do for a moment. He thought she had already left during the day.

Why are you still at home?

Could it be... that I suddenly remembered the plot at this moment?

Hearing that crying, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Stop crying!"

Upon hearing this slight reprimand, Xia Shu paused in her sobbing. Realizing she was now living under someone else's roof, she pouted, unable to cry any longer. She also felt extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to do next.

"Hmph~" He muttered a heavy nasal sound to mask his inner despair.

She stood up, clutching the hem of her dress, looking aggrieved. The high and mighty princess had fallen to earth and finally experienced the hardships of society.

"Sorry... I just woke up and I was hungry. There wasn't much food in your fridge, so I thought I'd cook something myself!"

"I'll get it done right now!"

"Let's eat before we leave!" Chen Shuo ordered some takeout.

Because it was from the restaurant downstairs, and for other reasons, it was delivered very quickly.

"Sir, your takeout is here!"

"Thank you~" Chen Shuo politely thanked the rider after taking the food box at the elevator entrance, and casually operated the software.

Speaking of delivery riders, sometimes they do treat customers differently based on their income. For example, orders from upscale residential areas are usually prioritized for delivery because these wealthy customers are often very generous with their tips.

A casual tip of a hundred or eighty yuan is equivalent to the income from delivering seven or eight orders.

Four dishes, one meat and one vegetable: stir-fried seasonal vegetables, steamed sea bass, braised pork ribs, and cola chicken wings, plus a bowl of overflowing rice.

Xia Shu was so tempted that her mouth almost watered!
If we start counting from yesterday, it's been almost 24 hours since I've eaten.

Seeing her staring straight at him, Chen Shuo suddenly found it amusing.

"Eat it!"

"Okay!" Xia Shu seemed to have turned on a switch, picked up the ribs from the plate, stuffed them into her mouth, and wolfed them down. The clinking of chopsticks against the plate seemed to become a moving symphony.

At this moment, Chen Shuo confirmed his guess from her: Lao Xia had indeed gotten into trouble and had been taken away by the procuratorate.

Then, this former partner was fired by Liangcheng without hesitation on the day the incident occurred, before he even left work.

All I can say is that Fang Lihong is really too petty. No wonder Liangcheng is saying that Wang Xiaoer's New Year is getting worse every year. How can you be so fast?
Can't we wait until things settle down and then deal with it slowly, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water? If we go this fast, what will other customers think?
Oh no, this is going to cause me trouble. My relatives on Law Firm Road will be dealt with immediately!

Can this be right?

It's not that you can't discard a donkey after it has served its purpose; it's understandable that law firms don't keep idle people. But at the very least, you have to wait until the donkey is completely useless before you start talking about it!

Which customer wouldn't have some reservations?

To be continued...
