Last time I met with Zhao Bailu's adoptive mother, Lucy Zhou, to finalize the investment cooperation intention in a few words.
Ms. Zhou has already begun to make full preparations for the establishment of the law firm. She has even initially determined the location of the office. It is in the Pyramid Building, the tallest building in San Francisco. The area is about 270 square meters, which will definitely be enough for the initial stage.
With Zhao Bailu's support of his parents, he could barely afford the cost of setting up a law firm on his own. However, at their age, they would not be so impulsive as to put their chips on the gambling table all at once. They should prepare for their future retirement.
Considering the future life, Lucy Zhou introduced her partner Chen Linzhi, and the two parties just hit it off.
In addition to taking a fancy to Chen Linzhi's investment money, Zhao Bailu's adoptive mother actually also had her eye on Chen Linzhi's network of contacts.
I once heard from my daughter that she met many children of important people when attending parties. The speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional. This made Ms. Zhou full of expectations for Chen Linzhi’s potential. In the lawyer profession, relationships are so important. Often the most profitable ones are
Enterprise-level customers, and in her eyes, Chen Linzhi is undoubtedly one of the well-known wealthy businessmen in Northern California.
There is no guarantee that when something happens to Chen Linzhi's friends, they will think of their law firm, or they will talk to someone in the business world to sign a long-term enterprise-level customer.
Zhao Bailu's personality is somewhat similar to that of her adoptive mother. They are more or less affected by their long-term relationship. They are both the type of women whose appearance is deceptive, but who are actually strong women.
Perhaps because he was worried that Chen Linzhi would change his mind, one day in mid-February, Zhao Bailu invited him to have dinner at a newly opened Hunan restaurant on his behalf.
The location is not in Chinatown, but in the Sunset District, where there are slightly more middle-class Asian groups.
Chen Linzhi was going to refuse at first, but she couldn't resist Zhao Bailu's request and told her that she might have to wait until the summer vacation to see each other again, and that he would soon return to the university campus to continue studying.
With his soft-spoken character, even if he guessed that there would probably be nothing to talk about when they met, he still agreed to Zhao Bailu's invitation...
During the day the next day, Chen Linzhi rushed to the hospital for a physical examination. She spent thousands of dollars and checked almost everything that could be checked.
Drinking, staying up late, smoking, unhealthy eating habits, and a chaotic private life are all breeding grounds for diseases. When you are addicted to alcohol, you don't even think about it. After you calm down, you will inevitably worry, fearing that your life will be gone before the money is spent.
It is good to spend more money to buy a set meal. The results of most of the test items will be returned quickly. When I learned that everything was normal in the evening, I immediately put my heart back in my stomach. I went to a Hunan restaurant in the evening and poured half a glass of red wine to taste it carefully.
The so-called quitting drinking after being drunk is really just a drunken talk. It is not a big problem to drink for pleasure.
"Mr. Chen, the menu is here for you to order. I asked the chef to prepare it just now, but I don't know if you can eat spicy food. The name of the dish will indicate whether it is spicy or not. I came here with a customer last time and the taste was quite good.
"
Just a polite word.
If she hadn't learned from Zhao Bailu that Chen Linzhi liked Chinese food, how could her adoptive mother Lucy Zhou have chosen a Chinese restaurant with an exquisite environment all the way.
Zhao Bailu was very calm when getting along with Chen Linzhi, but since it involves business, it is difficult for her adoptive mother to treat Chen Linzhi as a junior, so there is nothing wrong with being more formal.
Chen Linzhi is welcome. She really misses eating spicy food. After taking the menu, she smiled and asked the mother and daughter opposite if they could eat spicy food. Then she called the waiter and ordered four dishes and one soup.
The menu went back to Zhao Bailu's adoptive mother, and she added another dish: fish head with chopped peppers.
Chen Linzhi always felt awkward when he heard the other person say "Little Mr. Chen". While waiting for the food to be served, he said: "Don't call me Mr. Chen, just call me Xiao Chen. It's just a lucky chance to make some money. I
He’s not the boss of a big company.”
"Your Mandarin is really good. Where are your family's ancestors from?" Ms. Zhou then asked.
It was true that she was too bored and had nothing to talk about. We met only a few times, and Zhao Bailu did not have a personality that could liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table, so her adoptive mother and Chen Linzhi were left chatting awkwardly.
Chen Linzhi had the illusion that her household registration was being checked, and she answered honestly: "My parents died early, and I don't know exactly where. When I was a child, I lived in an orphanage with Zhao Bailu, and came into contact with all kinds of people, so my accent became complicated."
In order to do business on the other side, I even learned Mandarin."
Zhao Bailu had already remembered it when she was adopted, and there was no problem in talking about this topic in public. Now seeing that Chen Linzhi was obviously dealing with his mother, he smiled happily, thinking that once the two start a business together, there should be more opportunities in the future.
see him.
Men are easily attracted to outstanding girls, and in fact girls are the same. Zhao Bailu always met some naive classmates in school, who thought that having excellent sports skills and having money at home meant everything. Compared with Chen Linzhi, she was a judge of superiority.
.
Judging from the performance of the recent meetings, Zhao Bailu has actually been expressing his affection in his own way, but it was so subtle that Chen Linzhi didn't notice it.
It was her adoptive mother who could clearly detect the difference in her daughter. After all, Chen Linzhi was probably the only person of the opposite sex who was often mentioned by Zhao Bailu at home.
After chatting for a while, Ms. Zhou felt more and more that Chen Linzhi had a good personality, so she tentatively said, "It's inappropriate to call me Xiao Chen. Let's call you Allen. My daughter talks about you a lot at home. She
I don’t like to socialize, and I have very few friends. You two can move around more when you have nothing to do, and I’ll just learn how to invest from you.”
When Zhao Bailu saw that the topic suddenly came to her, she couldn't laugh for a moment. She had the illusion that she was about to be sold. Especially after she had heard that Chen Linzhi had a girlfriend, her expression looked slightly embarrassed.
Chen Linzhi agreed generously, and after the food was served, he took the initiative to ask about the details of setting up a law firm. He guessed why he was having this meal tonight. It was to give reassurance to Zhao Bailu's adoptive mother.
Chen Linzhi really didn't pay much attention to a small investment of half a million US dollars, but since he decided to invest in it, it would be better to ask about some details first.

It is said that they are planning to recruit people through a headhunting company, and several well-known lawyers have followed Ms. Zhou to change jobs and brought some client resources with them.
It didn't involve specific legal aspects, it was purely business management. Chen Linzhi understood it, and he agreed on the spot to replace the lawyer he was currently working with and instead hand over the order to the new company that was about to be established.
Including Newman, who is facing litigation, Chen Linzhi has already secured two business deals before the law firm is ready.
…
In the next few days, Chen Linzhi tried to quit smoking, refused to attend any parties, went to bed on time at night, and went out for a morning jog.
Except for the occasional run and rolling into bed with his female neighbor Mattia, his life has indeed begun to become healthier, his body has become lighter, and his thoughts have become clearer.
Under such circumstances, Chen Linzhi applied for a visa to the other side, calculated the date and booked a flight to Hong Kong City next week in advance... Last time, she and Lucy Zhou, Zhao Bailu's adoptive mother, finalized the intention of investment cooperation in a few words.
