The next day, Chen Wenwei and her apprentice reached Qi Industries headquarters at the scheduled ti. Not a minute late or early.
However, at that ti, Qi Wren was ’busy’ with his wife in his office lounge and instructed his secretary to ask Chen Wenwei to wait or reschedule the eting being busy.
"This must be about Suyin. She’s really a greedy and vicious woman eyeing our money. Will she ever let us live in peace? I’m tired of her," Hui Chouming looked up from her husband’s naked chest, expressing her grievances, feeling bitter.
His hands run on Chouming’s back in slow motion as she lies on top of him, "I’ve told you not to be bothered by her. You’ve already. As far as this compensation is concerned, let her struggle. Thousands of court cases are filed every day, one more is just a drop into the ocean."
"But her lawyer is Chen Wenwei...."
"hahah.... Chen Wenwei attends a eting only if the client is a VIP, which I’m sure Suyin is not. She must have sent her apprentice. Let that asly apprentice be humiliated. I’m sure Chen Wenwei will take this out on Suyin."
Though he said that to comfort Chouming, his calculative expression said otherwise.
On one side Suyin announced that she had gotten over her ex and has nothing to do with him while on the other she’s sending a lawyer. Isn’t it just a way to get his attention!?
Well.... She had succeeded in it. Now all she has to do is to co to him personally and he might willingly give her the money....
.... and sothing more....
But before that, she needs a small lesson for acting arrogant and blocking his number. Her lawyer can keep on waiting for eternity.... Any further communication would take face to face and she has to co to the headquarters to et him.
"Busy?" Chen Wenwei cast her sharp glance at the secretary who ca to inform her. "By acknowledging the ti and place you implicitly agree to be there for the set ti for the eting. If your chairman doesn’t know the professional conduct, he should take lessons."
Her voice attracted the attention of all the people coming in and out of the lobby, giving a look of disdain to the secretary.
"Mind your words, madam. An ergency ca up and our chairman has to look into it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked you to reschedule the eting,"
Chen Wenwei stood there like a regal queen, her eyes didn’t move from the secretary who pretended to be confident but the beads of sweat on forehead said otherwise.
"Mam, this..." Chen Wenwei’s apprentice stopped. He saw her taking out her cellphone and walked away to speak to soone.
’Stupid man! People wait for month-long appointnts to talk to Miss. Chen and here he asked to reschedule the eting.’
Seeing the handso man beside Chen Wenwei giving a mischievous smile, Qi Wren’s secretary had a feeling of premonition.
Exactly a minute later the secretary received a call from Qi Wren, "You silly woman, why didn’t you ntion it was Chen Wenwei? Bring her up. NOW."
"Yes, sir." She looked at Chen Wenwei in horror. Who is she? Who did she call to make our chairman act like this? "Mam.... Please follow to the eting room." Her attitude changed.
However, Chen Wenwei glanced at her watch as she sat down on the couch near the window and didn’t say a word. The apprentice suppressed his laughter and said. "The eting ti was from 3:30 to 4. Twelve minutes have passed already. Eighteen more minutes and we’ll leave."
In the lounge, Qi Wren pushed Hui Chouming off of him and bolted up. "Get off." Grabbing his clothes, he wore them in record ti.
"What happened?"
"SHUT UP, it’s Chen Wenwei herself, dammit."
Hui Chouming was dumbfounded. "Chen Wenwei ca personally? Suyin is VIP? How? Why?"
He ignored her muttering and fixed his ssy hair with fingers. Though Chen Wenwei was just a lawyer, she was one of the top thirty powerful won of the country. Once you get into her bad books and she would fight every case against you. Be it for free.
A minute before he had received a call from one of the biggest investors of the company who threatened him to withdrew his investnts if they ended up offending Chen Wenwei. If possible, he should try making her the official lawyer of the Qi Group.
But is that possible?
Qi Wren rushed to the lobby on the ground floor upon receiving the ssage from her secretary.
"Miss. Chen...." He extended his hand. Though panting for breath, he stayed calm and smiled. The chairman had to maintain an image in front of employees, and cannot show he literally rushed here to et her.
Chen Wenwei remained seated on the couch and looked at his apprentice. "Mr. Ren... you may start,"
Qi Wren retrieved his hand, gritting teeth at the humiliation of being ignored in his own office. "It looks like Miss Chen is upset. My apologies to keep you waiting. It was an urgent eting with the managers. If my secretary had inford earlier----"
"Next ti, ask your ’managers’ to give you hickey where only you can see them." Her reply ca and Qi Wren unconsciously adjusted his collar.
"Miss. Chen, you are mistaken. It’s not---" he paused, and looked around, "Let’s discuss everything in the eting room. That would be more appropriate,"
"You lost your chance. Either it’s here or nowhere." She threw the papers on the table, "You lost the deadline to apologise to my client Zhao Suyin and ignored the reminder sent by my office. Any explanation?"
"Get this area interdicted." Getting the orders, the secretary called the security to secure the one-third portion of the lobby by forming a wall around it.
The makeshift eting room!
"It was entirely Hui Guozhi’s fault, why would I apologize and pay the compensation? As far as publishing of the divorce agreent is concerned, I was out of the country. How could you hold responsible if soone accessed my locker and posted the docunts?"
Qi Wren took the seat opposite her, while his group of three lawyers hurried to the spot and stood beside him. One of them passed a docunt to Chen Wenwei, which her apprentice accepted on her behalf. "This is my client Mr. Qi wren’s counter defense."
Apprentice skimd through the docunts and nodded at her. Other lawyers felt proud and shot a look to a lonely female lawyer sitting in front.
It’s three vs one!
However, what followed made everyone speechless....
