Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

On Monday, three colleagues from Haotian Institute went to Lutong Group together.

In the workplace, Lu Yanli and Fang Youxi seamlessly transitioned into work mode, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries without becoming overly overly friendly despite the long-standing friendship between the Lu and Tang families.

Lutong Group is also a traditional industrial company. They had a lot of business dealings with the Tang family before. In recent years, they have focused on developing overseas business. Their ventilation equipment, medical devices and building templates have sold very well in overseas markets. Naturally, they have been involved in more foreign-related legal services. They were not very satisfied with the law firm they had previously cooperated with, Lu Yanli. It just so happened that Tang Yi mentioned Haotian Law Firm when they had dinner together that day. He asked his assistant to look into it and found that it was one of the top five law firms in Beicheng. So he agreed to work with them.

Qin Yifan is forty-seven or forty-eight years old. He has the appearance of an elite and is well-known in the industry for being good at handling things and getting along with people.

Fang Youxi wore a thin black wool coat today, with a simple shirt and trousers underneath, looking mature and capable. She looked quite different from the one he saw at the Tang family's old house the day before yesterday. Lu Yanli's lips curled up. He had specifically inquired about Fang Youxi yesterday. This youngest daughter of the Tang family had never been in Beicheng. It was said that her mother had remarried, which was why she had returned.

The Fang family in Suzhou is quite well-known.

It is said that Tang Zhanghe went to Suzhou to cooperate with someone to develop a piece of land. He met Fang Keying there, and the two got married in less than a month. However, they divorced before their daughter was even two years old, citing incompatibility. After that, Fang Keying went abroad and settled in Australia.

Fang Youxi was brought to live in Australia by her mother when she was eight years old, and she is now twenty-four years old before returning. Lu Yanli has now become quite interested in this marriage prospect.

Lu Tong currently has several collaborations to advance, as well as two international disputes. In the meeting room, besides Lu Yanli, there were also colleagues from Lu Tong's legal department, Lu Yanli's assistant, and others. Everyone was discussing the relevant matters one by one.

Fang Youxi could feel Lu Yanli's rather impolite gaze, but given that he was the client, she tolerated it.

She is always meticulous when it comes to her work. Her profession is the foundation of her livelihood. Fang Youxi did a very good job at the law firm she worked for before, which is one of the few things she takes seriously and values.

"President Lu, do you want to set up a new company, put the overseas business into this company, and then separate the assets from the head office?" Qin Yifan seized on the biggest issue discussed in the meeting. Handing this matter over to Haotian Law Firm and charging a service fee on an annual basis would be a considerable expense.

"Yes, the group company has already passed the resolution. Considering that this company can be listed independently in the future, we should start preparing now." Lu Yanli asked, "It is also possible to hand it over to you, but you must have an experienced lawyer specifically responsible for Lu Tong."

Qin Yifan looked at Fang Youxi: "Lawyer Fang, you used to specialize in this, so it should be your area of ​​expertise, right? Why don't you take over?"

Fang Youxi readily agreed: "Okay."

Lu Yanli objected: "Fang Lu looks so young, don't you know her?"

"My previous employer, Allens Linklaters, has a history of over a century. During my time there, I specialized in this type of business. If I am unprofessional or fail to meet Mr. Lu's requirements, your company can request Haotian to replace me." Fang Youxi looked directly at Lu Yanli. "However, my service fee is not low either. It depends on whether Lu Tong has the relevant budget."

She remained neither humble nor arrogant, but instead subtly put Lu Yanli in a difficult position. Her words sounded like: If you have money, you can provide any service; if you don't, don't pretend to be a big shot.

Lu Yanli's assistant lowered his head silently. This lawyer from Haotian Law Firm was both beautiful and cool. Lu Yanli was taken aback, then smiled silently and shrugged in agreement.

After a day of meetings, including a lunch in the office, the work was quite successful. The basic framework has been finalized. Fang Youxi will be required to come to Lutong's office one day a week to have a meeting with the colleagues in charge of liaison with Lutong's legal department and to report on the progress of the work to Lu Yanli.

After these things were finalized, it was almost time to leave work, so Lu Yanli invited the three lawyers from Haotian Law Firm who had come today to dinner.

The location was set at the nearby Rosewood Hotel. Accompanying them was a partner from Haotian Law Firm. He didn't know Fang Youxi's specific background, but he knew that the reason she was put in charge of this deal must be because she had some connection with Fang Youxi.

Qin Yifan is a man who always gets things done. That's how the Red Circle has always been: whoever has more resources is more trusted, especially in Beicheng. You never know who you'll be hit by a brick falling from the sky. There are many hidden talents and no one can be underestimated.

However, when I return to the law firm tomorrow, I'm afraid rumors will spread that Boss Qin is biased.

During the meal, it was unclear who had deliberately arranged it, but Qin Yifang was seated to Lu Yanli's left, while Fang Youxi was seated to his right.

Lu Yanli lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Fang Lu is quite good at pretending. He's been pretending for a whole day that we're not familiar with each other. We just had dinner at your house the day before yesterday."

Fang Youxi smiled ingratiatingly, but her words were blunt: "When I go back to my grandfather's for dinner, it's like going home. You're his guest, that's all. It's only the second time we've met, so we're not exactly close."

Lu Yanli retorted calmly, "You're quick-witted, but I hope your professional skills won't falter in the future."

"Don't worry, I won't give President Lu the opportunity to replace me."

To onlookers, the two seemed to have an inexplicable romantic connection, with a hint of ambiguity.

Lu Yanli looked at her profile. Her eyelashes were curled, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were full. She was indeed exquisite and pleasing to the eye.

Tang Zhang and his three children all resemble their mother. The eldest son is of above-average appearance and is serious and mature. The second son, Tang Ze, is quite popular with young girls, but he has a bit of a roguish charm. Looking at Fang Youxi now, one can see how beautiful Tang Zhang and his third wife must have been when they were young. No wonder they got married in less than a month after meeting. However, passion comes and goes quickly, and they spend little time together, which destined this marriage to be short-lived.

He was quite curious as to why Fang Youxi, after staying in Australia for so long, had chosen to return to Beicheng. Had she suffered a heartbreak there?

If he really wanted to marry her, he didn't care whether she had dated before or how many relationships she had. After all, a young, beautiful girl with a good family background would be popular anywhere, especially with so many rich kids in Australia.

Moreover, they can each do their own thing after marriage without interfering with each other.

Fang Youxi is beautiful and has a good job. The two families are old friends and have business dealings. It would be respectable to have such a wife out, and he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

While Lu Yanli was eating, his mind was racing. Fang Youxi, on the other hand, thought the food at the restaurant was good and she was in a good mood because she had landed a big job today.
