Chapter 2960 Luo Yingzi is used as cannon fodder
early morning.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and streamed into the room, they woke Chen Shuo precisely on time; his biological clock was already reminding him that it was time to get up and exercise.

He carefully got out of bed, glanced to the side, and finally couldn't resist kissing Xia Shu, who was still fast asleep.

Xia Shu hummed in response and waved her hand groggily. "I'm not fully awake yet!"

After saying that, he pulled the blanket up, and with such a simple action, he perfectly demonstrated it in an instant.

Chen Shuo almost couldn't hold back.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally put on my slippers and left the bedroom, clattering around in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

About half an hour later, just as breakfast was almost fully prepared.

"Yawn~" Xia Shu, wearing a men's shirt, walked out dozing off. "Good morning, Chen Lu..."

"Hmm?" Chen Shuo immediately feigned displeasure. "What did you call me?"

"Hehehe... Honey!" Xia Shu finally snapped out of her daze. "What delicious food have you prepared?"

"See for yourself!"

"Cut~"

A simple breakfast was laid out on the table: wontons, fried dumplings, pickled vegetables, and two cups of hot soy milk.

After finishing breakfast, Xia Shu drank the last sip of soy milk in her cup. The slight tilt of her head up revealed her fair and slender neck, making it easy to see her swallowing.

And I don’t know if it was because she was eating too vigorously, or if the buttons on her shirt were broken last night and somehow they came undone without me noticing.

That scene almost made Chen Shuo "a monarch who would never hold court again."

The most cliché line from those domineering CEO novels and TV dramas once jumped into my mind: "Woman, you're playing with fire."

Who could withstand this test?
"What's wrong?" Xia Shu also realized something was wrong and subconsciously tightened her clothes.

"Alright, it's not like we haven't seen it before!"

"You...you get out of my way!"

After bickering for a while, the two tidied up, changed their clothes, went downstairs, and drove to work.

When I arrived at Liangcheng Law Firm, I ran into Lao Han in the elevator.

Old Han sized the two of them up and down. That's why they say this old man is old in years but young at heart. No matter what, his experience is definitely substantial.

He immediately retorted sarcastically, "Oh, Attorney Chen, you're really keeping a mistress hidden away!"

"What's wrong, Attorney Han? Attorney Xia and I are both single, so shouldn't we report to Attorney Han that we've started dating?"

"You..." Han Zhitong almost choked on a mouthful of phlegm, not expecting Chen Shuo to be so straightforward as to admit it directly.

This is truly a case of a scholar encountering a soldier—reasoning is useless!

There were other colleagues in the elevator.

"Wow~"

"Congratulations, Attorney Chen!"

Congratulations, Xia!

A famous celebrity once said, "Once you're doing well, everyone around you will be a good person." This couldn't be more true for Xia Shu. When her client ran into trouble, these people, while not exactly kicking her when she was down, certainly gossiped a lot. Now, because of Chen Shuo, they're all starting to flatter her again, making Xia Shu so happy she's practically floating on air.

In a law firm, nothing stays secret forever; the news spread like wildfire in less than half an hour.

In the break room, Qiu Hua bumped into Xia Shu and jokingly said, "Oh, isn't this Mrs. Chen?"

"Sister Qiu Hua, please stop joking with me!" Xia Shu was so shy that she quickly grabbed her coffee and left the tea room as if she were running away.

Qiu Hua exclaimed, "Oh dear, it's true that if you're lucky, even God can't stop you!"

She relied on her father's connections in the first half of her life, but after her father passed away, she found a great boyfriend!
Thinking of this, Qiu Hua couldn't help but shake her head, because wasn't she the same way?
She knew her own situation well. She basically had no love for Zhang Quanquan. She had once fantasized about having a passionate relationship, but in the end, she was defeated by reality.

Love can't put food on the table. It's better to be practical. Without Zhang Quanquan, his parents' medical treatment wouldn't have gone so smoothly. Only people from small cities can understand the power that a county leader can wield.

"Pfft~" She suddenly laughed because Luo Yingzi flashed through her mind again.

I shook my head. This person is incredibly stupid!
I just advised them a few days ago, and now they're acting as Mei Daliang's pawns again. Are Fang Lihong and Tao Zheng so easy to deal with?
Meanwhile, a heated debate was taking place in the Wanhe Group's conference room. Wanhe Group was a client of Liangcheng Law Firm, while Dingxin, the group's largest creditor, was represented by Xu Zhuo's Zhuoyue Law Firm.

Why did Qiu Hua say that Luo Yingzi was incredibly stupid?
Since Xu Zhuo didn't show up at all, Luo Yingzi, as the lead lawyer for this project, was sitting in the middle, full of vigor and talking eloquently. Facing her former colleague, she seemed like a triumphant return, completely unaware of any risks involved.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the administrators of Wanhe's bankruptcy reorganization, our goals should be aligned. The only issue is that we haven't reached a consensus on some conditions!"

"Attorney Fang, what's your opinion?"

“I… Of course, Attorney Luo is right. Our task now is to focus on the details. I have brought all the elites from Liangcheng Law Firm here to ensure the success of this bankruptcy reorganization!”

Chen Shuo sat in the second seat on the left, next to Lao Han, and remained silent, rarely speaking.

His brows were furrowed, as if he was listening very attentively, occasionally glancing down to jot something down in his notebook.

In reality, only Lao Han could see that there were seven or eight little turtles drawn on the notebook.

“Fang Lu, what you’ve done…”

"Old Han, we're just here to play a supporting role. The main force is Fang Lu and the others." Chen Shuo refused to believe that this old fox couldn't have noticed anything!
Han Zhitong was not a veteran of Liangcheng Martial Arts Institute, or rather, he wasn't there from the very beginning. Liangcheng Martial Arts Institute was founded by Mei Daliang and his several apprentices.

How similar is this bankruptcy reorganization of Wanhe Group to the previous Zhucheng case?

Chen Shuo knew very well that Mei Daliang had made her move. The Wanhe Group bankruptcy reorganization project, which she had orchestrated behind the scenes, was officially competing with Liangcheng Law Firm. Of course, Xu Zhuo of Zhuoyue Law Firm was the one in front of her.

Xu Zhuo is such a smart person!

How could he not know that Mei Daliang was putting him in front as a pawn? After all, they had known each other's personalities for so many years, and in the end, he probably wouldn't gain any benefits and might even offend a lot of people.

They simply went with the flow and pushed Luo Yingzi to the front, ostensibly to train her so she could lead a team herself in the future, but in reality, they just wanted her to take the hits.

Liangcheng Law Firm's conference room.

"Everyone, now it's just us left. Let's discuss how to proceed with this project, or what ideas we have. You can also share your thoughts behind closed doors!" Fang Lihong smiled at everyone, much like a farmer feeding his flock.

With a market value of 16 billion, Wanhe's bankruptcy reorganization is definitely a lucrative opportunity. Every single partner present would be interested.

Only a fool would complain about money being too hot to handle.

So everyone scrambled to grab a piece of this juicy meat, each wanting to put it in their own mouth.

"Lawyer Chen, what do you think?" Fang Lihong didn't immediately decide on a candidate because she noticed that Chen Shuo had been silent all along, and she felt that something was off.
