Chapter 2957 The mastermind behind the scenes
on Monday.

Liangcheng Law Firm did an excellent job of keeping the news of Chen Shuo's job change a secret; only lawyers at the partner level or above knew the exact details.

"Welcome, Attorney Chen!" Led by Fang Lihong, the spacious venue, usually used for large meetings, was suddenly filled with enthusiastic applause.

"thank you all!"

"Attorney Chen, Attorney Xue, with the addition of such elite and capable individuals, Liangcheng Law Firm will definitely reach new heights in the future!"

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, Lao Han's face turned frighteningly ugly because he saw Qiu Hua in the opposing team.

A man who once dared to defy his superiors and even extorted 200 million yuan from his own hands has now made a triumphant return!

Isn't this just rubbing your old face in the ground?
It's heartbreaking, but you also have to sprinkle some fine salt on it.

Two days ago at the partners' meeting, Lao Han was vehemently opposed to Chen Shuo joining Liangcheng Law Firm. Although there was the factor that the criminal defense department could not tolerate two tigers on one mountain, it was also probably because of Qiu Hua!

Han Zhitong, who has been living a life of danger and hardship for so many years, has never been so easily manipulated by a student.

Unfortunately, she couldn't fight city hall. First of all, all the other partners agreed. Secondly, Qiu Hua herself was fine, but her current husband was not someone to mess with. Although he was just a minor section chief, his position was very important.

Old Han wasn't bothered by anything, but he mainly didn't want to make enemies for his son!

"Hmph!" he scoffed, thinking, "We'll see how things go."

Qiu Hua, who grew up in the same family, also noticed Han Zhitong's gloomy eyes. He not only looked at him with fear but also with provocation, which made Qiu Hua feel a strange sense of satisfaction.
I love seeing him hate me, but he can't get rid of me.

"Attorney Chen, this is your office, how is it?" Fang Lihong didn't use a human resources department; her main approach was to treat people with respect and courtesy.

The office is about 40 to 50 square meters, and the overall environment is quite nice. It's worth mentioning that it's very different from the one in the drama; it's not Luo Yingzi's previous office.

Now that Chen Shuo has brought his entire team to join Liangcheng Law Firm, it's like "bringing a master to join him." He has already formed a force of his own. If he's not the number one or two, he's at least number three or four. It would be a joke if the treatment wasn't good.
With Chen Shuo joining, Liangcheng Law Firm is thriving. The number of practicing lawyers represents the strength of a law firm, and the projects, which are worth more than 20 billion yuan, have also increased the bonuses of everyone in the firm, including the cleaning lady.

This explosive news quickly spread throughout the legal community.

Mei Daliang frowned deeply. He hadn't expected this outcome before making the move. How did he end up joining Liangcheng Law Firm?

Now all the plans have been disrupted. If I had known this would happen, I would have been better off not doing anything underhanded!

That's right. The reason why Chen Shuo couldn't stay at Dazheng Law Firm and was targeted by two parties was because of the Empress Dowager's interference. The biggest reason was that she was... petty!

Because I was angry about what happened last time...

The welcome dinner in the evening.

"I can't take it anymore!" Chen Shuo had drunk quite a bit. After all, even with the best alcohol tolerance, he couldn't withstand being forced to drink by so many people.

"Attorney Chen, you're known throughout our industry for your incredible capacity for alcohol. I, an old man, would like to toast you. The criminal defense department is now relying on you young people; it's truly a case of the younger generation surpassing the older!"

Han Zhitong, like a smiling tiger, held his wine glass and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Han, you're mistaken. From now on, there won't just be a Criminal Defense Department, but two separate departments: Criminal Defense Department One and Legal Defense Department Two. I'm new here, so I'll have to help you a lot!" Chen Shuo ignored his quirk, downed three glasses of wine in one go, and then gestured to him with his empty glass.

Old Han's face turned green!
He's over 50 years old, and he'd been conserving his energy just to come over and offer a toast. Those three cups of wine must have weighed at least half a jin (250ml). He probably won't be able to get out of bed the next day.

But there was no way around it; I had to drink it under everyone's watchful eyes!

Filled with resentment, Han Zhitong looked as if he were drinking Chinese medicine, and after more than ten minutes of dawdling, he finally managed to drink the three cups of wine. Immediately afterward, he became completely dazed and confused.

Seeing this, Chen Shuo smiled, just as he was about to take a break.

"Come on, Attorney Chen, let's have a drink together. We'll have to work together more in the future!" Tao Zheng, who was basically the second or third most important person in the law firm, walked over with a wine glass in his hand.

Can I not drink this wine?

He had to drink! Then, after downing that glass of wine, Chen Shuo instantly lost consciousness.

"Is Lawyer Chen alright?" Fang Lihong was just about to arrange for someone to take care of him.

Xia Shu, emboldened by some unknown source, suddenly darted out from the corner.

"Attorney Fang, I'm Attorney Chen's assistant. You can leave this to Attorney Chen!"

"Uh... okay!" Fang Lihong was still a little embarrassed to see Xia Shu again, but after so many years in this industry, she didn't show any other emotions on her face.

It was as if everything before was handled as official business.

Chen Shuo was pretending to be drunk, but once he got outside and felt the cool breeze, he became a little dizzy and unconsciously leaned on Xia Shu's shoulder after getting into the car.

"I'm going to drive, you stay in the back and behave yourself!" Xia Shu said, then prepared to move Chen Shuo's head.

"No!" Chen Shuo struggled to sit up and took his phone out of his pocket.

I'm going to call a designated driver because I'm afraid this young lady will smash my G-Wagon; I really don't trust her driving skills.

"You're not drunk?" Xia Shu asked, as if she had discovered a new continent, when she saw Chen Shuo open his eyes and call for a designated driver.

"If we don't put on an act now, those people will drink us dry!"

"Oh~"

The designated driver was waiting for customers nearby, and I got into the car in less than a minute.

The two sat in the back chatting idly until Xia Shu started complaining. "Attorney Chen, why did we have to come to Liangcheng Law Firm?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Shuo didn't know if he was doing it on purpose... or on purpose, but his head had been resting on the girl's shoulder ever since they set off.

When asked, he said he was drunk!

Xia Shu, as if possessed, pretended not to see it, her cheeks only slightly flushed. When she replied, she felt a breath on her collarbone, and her whole body instantly stiffened.

"I...I really can't stand them. They kicked me out as soon as my dad had that accident. It was just...too much!"

"Then you should make a triumphant return, so that they can't stand you but can't get rid of you!"

"Hehehe...it seems so!" Xia Shu tilted her head and thought about the scene just now, laughing like a silly goose.

As we were talking, I don't know when I lost consciousness and fell asleep...

When I woke up, it was already the next morning.

"Wait, what's going on with you?"

Just as I was about to go to the living room for a drink of water, I saw Xia Shu curled up in a corner of the sofa, fast asleep.

Why is this girl at her own home?

She was covered with a summer blanket, probably because her sleeping habits weren't very good, as it didn't completely cover her beautiful figure, leaving her long legs exposed. Her delicate, alabaster-white legs were also displayed without reservation in front of Chen Shuo.

After being vegetarian for so long, and being unable to resist so early in the morning, the expression on his face gradually began to change, and his eyes burned like a flame.

Chen Shuo's feet began to move in that direction involuntarily...

To be continued.
