Chapter 2952 Mei Daliang's Scheme: A Pie Falling from the Sky?

"Sir, is there anything else you need?"

The waitresses, dressed in cheongsams, not only served tea and water, but also lit incense as soon as we entered. They also gave us complimentary pastries, all of which were traditional Beijing snacks and pastries that wouldn't be cheap to buy elsewhere!

However, compared to the previous private room fees, this is just a drop in the ocean; 3899 is only the minimum charge for a private room.

That's all~

In fact, Chen Shuo was secretly cursing.

I never expected Xia Shu, this little firecracker, to have such a strong desire for revenge!

I only asked her to book a private room, but she ended up booking the most expensive one. I estimate that today's bill will be at least seven or eight thousand.

"Okay sir, I'm right at the door. Just call me if you need anything!" The waiter smiled without showing his teeth, clearly having received professional training. Working here would earn him no less than being a flight attendant.

Chen Shuo leaned back on the sofa, leisurely scrolling through videos on his phone, and time passed by in a meaningless way.

Feeling it was about time, I got up and went downstairs at the teahouse to greet them.

"Mr. Mei, please go ahead!"

"Thank you~"

Mei Daliang wore a gray cashmere coat, paired with a matching gray turtleneck sweater and black casual straight-leg pants. The elegant and understated light gray color accentuated her noble and composed temperament. Combined with black soft leather ankle boots in the same color as the pants, she looked particularly capable!

She was probably under 60 years old, with an ordinary appearance but a great temperament, especially her eyes, which even her smile couldn't hide their sharpness, and that elegance that emanated from her very bones, which could only be cultivated through rich experience.

The upstairs private rooms are decorated in an antique style, and you can smell a faint sandalwood scent.

"The environment here is very nice~" Mei Daliang looked around.

"Mr. Mei, please have a seat!"

"it is good!"

After the two sat down at the table, Chen Shuo took out a box of tea, opened the lid, and used small tongs to scoop out a little tea leaves and pour them into a small purple clay teapot.

Pour in freshly boiled water to rinse the tea. Pour the rinsed tea into a large cup, then add a second batch of boiling water and let it steep slowly.

"Mr. Mei, you must try it later, the tea here is really good!" As Chen Shuo spoke, he slowly rinsed the cup he was about to use with the tea water, and then poured it into the trash can under the tea table.

The entire process was smooth and pleasing to the eye, giving people a profound artistic conception.

"Please, go ahead!" He poured her a cup of the brewed tea first.

The latter naturally picked it up, first smelled it, savoring the aroma, then took a sip, lightly licked it on the tip of his tongue, savored the aftertaste, and then swallowed it.

"To be honest, I don't really like drinking this stuff. It was my husband, Lao Yu, who introduced me to it. He's really obsessed with tea, and he always brews a big cup whenever he's working on a case!"

Mei Daliang immediately steered the conversation towards her deceased husband, but this was just a starting point to begin the discussion.

"Mr. Mei, I've heard about Professor Yu before. His unfortunate passing is a great loss to the legal profession!" Anyone can chat and flatter; saying a few nice words won't hurt you.

What are men most afraid of?
The worst thing is to lose power, which is why many people in high positions age very quickly after retirement.

Chen Shuo could sense the resentment deep in Mei Daliang's bones!

Even though he is almost sixty years old!
However, just from the fact that she likes to be called "Mr. Mei," it's clear that she's not the kind of woman who's content to be a wife and mother. In her eyes, women can also have a spectacular career.

“Attorney Chen, I really admire young people like you. Youth is an asset!” Mei Daliang suddenly exclaimed.

"Let's get straight to the point!" Chen Shuo said, taking a sip of his tea. "Mr. Mei, I know you're not exactly a layman!" He then added, "Please speak your mind!"

"If there's anything I can do to help, I will do my utmost without holding back!"

This statement also has a double meaning: "Do your best to help where you can" implies that there are definitely areas where you can't help.

So... it's basically equivalent to a pointless statement!
"Attorney Chen, you must have heard about what happened between me and Lao Yu, right?" Mei Daliang didn't really like drinking tea, but he still picked it up and pretended to take a sip, then smiled and stared at the person opposite him.

Here it comes, the true colors are revealed!

Chen Shuo shouted in his heart.

"Of course!" he replied with a smile and a nod. "This matter did cause quite a stir at the time, but I personally believe that Professor Yu was definitely wronged. Sometimes, parties involved or witnesses suddenly change their minds in court; it's not uncommon!"

This statement is loaded with meaning and is clearly a veiled reference to someone.

Mei Daliang didn't respond to that, but instead looked out the window with a hint of melancholy, his voice tinged with sadness. "Liangcheng Law Firm was founded by Lao Yu and me; it's his life's work!"

"We don't have any children together, so Liangcheng is, in a sense, our child!"

"But now that my child is sick, how can I, as a mother, not be anxious?"

"So, Attorney Chen!" At that moment, Mei Daliang's sharp eyes flashed with a sudden light, revealing her purpose perfectly: she wanted to regain control of the law firm. "I'd like to ask you for a favor; it's time to get Liangcheng Law Firm back on track."

"Mr. Mei, how can I help?" Chen Shuo neither refused nor immediately agreed.

Who is Mei Daliang?

Having weathered many storms over the years, he has experienced everything, so it's clear that Chen Shuo won't act until he sees the benefit.

"I can tell you the truth about what happened back then. There were people within the law firm targeting me and Lao Yu, so I would like you to investigate who the mastermind behind this is!"

"You don't need to worry about anything else; I have other plans!"

"Of course~" Mei Daliang had a faint smile on her face, as if everything was under her control.

He leaned back slightly, his tone extremely confident as he rebuked Fang Zun. "Lawyer Chen, you're a talent. In you, I see a younger version of myself and Old Yu!"

"As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. You will be my successor!"

"I'm already this old, and after experiencing Lao Yu's unexpected passing, my health isn't what it used to be. I'm afraid even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to hold on for long. I'll hand over Liang Cheng's message to you once I've cleaned it up."

"So, isn't this a win-win situation?"

Win-win?

It's like pie in the sky!
Managing a law firm with a hundred employees means access to resources comparable to those of a listed company. It's a temptation that few lawyers can resist, and becoming the executive director of a law firm is probably every lawyer's dream.

After all, there's a saying that goes, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier!"

"Mr. Mei, you should know that I am a senior partner at Dazheng Law Firm, right?"

Mei Daliang had clearly anticipated that Chen Shuo wouldn't give a direct answer. "Attorney Chen, I know what you're trying to say, but I know Old Yan from your Dazheng Law Firm very well. Given his health and authority within the firm, he can probably work for at least another 20 years!"

Are you content to remain a senior partner for another 20 years?

To be continued...
