In the evening, the house became even more lively. Ran Zhen came over with his child Ran Yifan, and even brought a bag of snacks for the children, which made Lu Beicen dumbfounded.
"Auntie, mom said you have a little brother in your belly. She asked me to give my walnuts and almonds to my little brother. Grandma bought them for me. I think walnuts and almonds are not as delicious as hazelnuts and pine nuts, but aunt
, I want a little sister to play with me more, can you give birth to a little sister to play with me?"
The adults in the room couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the serious look of the children. Ran Zhen didn't feel embarrassed at all. Lu Beicen smiled and chatted with the children: "You gave me the snacks, what do you eat?"
"I have other things, chocolate jelly and candies, but grandma and mother don't allow me to eat more."
Jiang Zhongze naturally held Yifan's hand: "Uncle, let's take you out to play, and then buy you ice cream."
Yifan glanced at his mother excitedly, and said quickly to please: "Uncle, can you buy me a small cone, the smallest one? Mom said eating ice cream makes you easily sick."
When the child saw that Ran Zhen didn't stop him, he knew that he had been approved. He dragged Jiang Zhongze out of the door to find the ice cream he longed for.
Ran Zhen watched the older one and the younger one go out and pouted: "Your boss Jiang will definitely be a good father in the future. He is patient and willing to play with his children."
"Yifan is so cute, we are all willing to take him, okay?" Lu Beicen said with a smile.
Fang Nan nodded: "I wish I could be so well-behaved and sensible."
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Ran Zhen asked curiously.
"It's a boy. Our boss said he didn't care at first. I told him he didn't care and he went to ask. He said he was just curious. But I saw that he was so happy that he even called his parents specifically." Fang Nan pouted.
Pouted.
"I heard them say that most men want a son, but if they give birth to a boy and a girl, they will be particularly good to their daughters." Lu Beicen was a little confused about the psychology of this.
"How normal is this? The daughter is the little lover of the father in the previous life and must be pampered. The son is the continuation of life and the hope of making up for regrets, so why not train them hard?" Fang Nan said with a clear look.
.
Ran Zhen laughed out loud: "It seems that I have read a lot of guides for pregnant women recently, I am clear!"
"No, Xiaobei, do you want to see it? Our connection can be considered seamless."
"is that useful?"
"Who knows, if there are dates or no dates, if I hit a pole with it, what if it is useful?" Fang Nan picked up a bunch of grapes and said while eating.
Lu Beicen was a little confused, but suddenly remembered that Lin Fei asked her to ask the lawyer for help, so he looked at Ran Zhen and roughly explained the matter.
Ran Zhen and Fang Nan have both bought buns and dumplings from that store. They can't say they are familiar with it, but they have a good impression of the diligent and kind woman. Ran Zhen said noncommittally: "Are you sure you want to introduce a lawyer to them? For us, it is an introduction.
But for her, when it comes to pension matters, don't blame us if she doesn't do something wrong."
Lu Beicen didn't say anything, but Fang Nan spoke first: "That's not true. I think she is quite enthusiastic and cheerful, so she shouldn't have such thoughts."
"How can I make it clear? The information she provided has not been verified. Besides, it has reached the point of filing a lawsuit. This matter cannot be simple. She does not want to report her husband to the police for bigamy. This evidence cannot be fixed. If her husband wants to
Divorce has to be delayed for a long time, and in our industry, we never make promises with the parties involved." Ran Zhen analyzed it realistically.
Lu Beicen pondered for a moment and then said: "That's easy. If you have a suitable person, just give her the contact information. I will also ask Sister Fei to explain it clearly to her. She can also choose."
Ran Zhen nodded: "That's what I mean, don't get involved too deeply. After all, this is a family issue. She has no problem finding a lawyer to file a lawsuit. If you reporters get involved, you will be easily criticized.
, when her husband comes to visit her, she will have to bear all the scoldings."
Having said this, Ran Zhen smiled and shook his head, and said helplessly: "I can't tell when Lin Fei is still so enthusiastic. I always think she is a very calm person. After seeing so many things, she can still be so...
Enthusiasm is so rare.”
"Sister Fei is truly cold-faced and warm-hearted. She is different from us. She is the reporter among our group who truly has professional ideals. She has compassion in her heart and is full of expectations for the world." Lu Beicen
said softly.
The topic suddenly became a bit heavy. Ran Zhen was a little surprised by Lu Beicen's sudden abnormality: "You are not right today. You are too negative. The enactment of all laws is lagging behind because of some kind of crime."
Only then can we formulate laws. The improvement of social order can only be actively promoted by solving problems after discovering them. Aren't you the group that discovers problems and finds them out? Why are you so negative all of a sudden?"
Lu Beicen shook his head helplessly: "The major events that have happened in recent years seem to have been resolved on the surface. In fact, not many people know how tortuous and difficult the internal situation is, and even fewer people know that they can still maintain their original aspirations.
Without it, this industry, hey, I feel that the polarization will become more and more serious. Forget it, some things are unclear, so just don’t say them..."
Fang Nan finished off the hanging grapes, wiped his hands with paper, and patted Lu Beicen's arm with his chubby hand: "Come on, come on, you are a person who wants to resign, why are you so worried about the country and the people? What are you doing?"
Aren't you creating value for society? You can raise your child with peace of mind before your eyes and give birth to the next generation for the motherland. It is the most glorious duty of every mother!"
Lu Beicen laughed at Fang Nan's gag, and he also grabbed the grapes and started eating them.
Ran Zhen laughed: "Are you finally going to resign?"
Lu Beicen swallowed the sweet and sour grapes in his mouth: "I can't go on a business trip, so I don't dare to enter the computer room. There are a lot of things here. I am pregnant and work too long. The elderly at home are still worried, so I should make a decision early."
Ran Zhen nodded: "Just in time, I also have something to talk to you about. I may have to change firms, and your legal consultant's contract may need to be re-signed later."
Now it was Lu Beicen and Fang Nan who were surprised. Lu Beicen had just squeezed out the skin of a grape, and the whole grape flesh rolled into his throat. He choked and coughed instantly. Fang Nan hurriedly patted her on the back with a piece of paper. Ran Zhen
Seeing the two of them in a mess, laughing a little heartlessly, Fang Nan glanced over inadvertently, only to find that there was something inexplicable in her eyes.
Ran Zhen didn't wait for the two to ask again, and explained directly: "Fan Qigang has made a move to acquire our firm. As their branch in Zhongjiang, the other partners are quite satisfied with the acquisition conditions, and it should be launched soon.
The acquisition is in progress.”
"He's coming for you? What does he mean?" Fang Nan asked Lu Beicen's question.
Ran Zhen shrugged his shoulders and laughed, with a trace of ridicule in his smile. He didn't know whether he was mocking himself or Fan Qigang: "If I am more narcissistic, I can think so. Of course, it is more likely because of the child."
"But if I were in his position and wanted to acquire a law firm in Huxia, our firm would definitely be one of several target firms. Many of our firm's indicators are suitable. The most important thing is that we have not been established for a long time, but we have a few
The capabilities of each partner are pretty good, and the source of cases is also good. They are good at corporate mergers and acquisitions and economic cases, and there are many legal consulting companies, so..."
"Then if you leave like this, wouldn't it be a waste of all your hard work?" Lu Beicen asked.
Ran Zhen smiled and shook his head: "A unit like a law firm is not the same as other units. In fact, it's like everyone renting an office together, paying rent for each case, getting a stall, and then starting to show off their talents.
, if you don’t have a case source, everything is too much. As long as you have a case source, the practice will not be the same in any place, it’s just about how much rent you pay.”
Seeing the disbelief and worry on Fang Nan and Lu Beicen's faces, Ran Zhen smiled and explained:
"Don't worry, if I can't survive in Zhongjiang, then I won't do this. I went to my father's friend's office. I used to be young and thin-skinned, but now I have my own case, so I go there to be a helper instead of a helper."
I'm a new employee, but no matter what, your contract must follow me. I will negotiate it with the institute. I won't delay their wishes, and they can't stop me from taking away what belongs to me."
How could Fan Qigang, such a strong person, have watched Ran Zhen slip out through his fingers since he had made this move? Both of them felt that since the matter had progressed to this point, Ran Zhen must not have been able to do anything during this period.
To avoid suffering, Lu Beicen knew a few major offices in Zhongjiang Province and casually asked: "Which office should I go to?"
When Ran Zhen heard Lu Beicen ask this question, he knew that she had understood what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "How about Ward's House with your back against a big tree to enjoy the shade?"
Lu Beicen finally let go of his concerns, looked at Fang Nan who was confused and explained: "The first one in Zhongjiang! It's okay, there is a future!"
Ran Zhen laughed out loud and was about to speak when the phone suddenly rang.
"Zhenzhen, where are you?" A familiar voice came from the receiver of an unfamiliar phone number.
Ran Zhen bit the corner of his lip: "I work overtime. If you have nothing to do, don't change your number and call me again. Hang up."
"Wait a minute, I really have something to ask you for. How about we come out and meet you?"
"You can tell me if you have something to do. I'm not free and I can't get out."
"Do you have to reject me thousands of miles away?"
"If you have something to say, if nothing happens, I'll be dead."
At this time, Lu Beicen and Fang Nan looked at each other and both understood who made the call.
"I heard that you are going to transfer. Can we sit down and talk about this matter? You should know that the main reason why I can give your institute such generous merger conditions is because of you, so..."
"You don't have to put it so nice. I remember a teacher taught me before. This job is just a business. When doing business, you must not mix your personal feelings into it and make it into a business. What do you think of the value of all our acquisitions?
I need a new working environment, if you agree with me, everyone will be happy, it’s no big deal.”
"Zhenzhen, the situation was the same back then. Besides, you and I are different from others. It's not easy to lump them together."
"Teacher Fan, we have fundamental differences about this job, so I think it will be difficult for you and I to work together. I'm sorry, that's it! I'm hanging up!"
"The last sentence, Zhenzhen, if you don't want to come out, then I have to go and sit at home. In fact, I have wanted to chat with my uncle and aunt for a long time..."
"Fan Qigang, do you have to push everyone against the wall? I can't even hide from you? Don't go too far!" Ran Zhen was completely furious and hung up the phone, his face turning red.
Lu Beicen quickly stood up and took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ran Zhen: "Drink some water first and calm down."
Ran Zhen took the water and drank half of the bottle. His face suddenly turned gray, a bit like a deflated ball. Holding the bottle in his hand, he became a little dull.
Fang Nan was a little worried and asked softly: "Sister Zhen, are you okay?"
Ran Zhen took a deep breath, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "That's how he is. As long as he wants to get something, he has to do whatever it takes, leaving no room for others or a chance to breathe. I don't want to work with him. I
I don’t like his style of doing things, I..."
"Sister Zhen, if you haven't let him go yet, why don't you give him a chance?" Lu Beicen asked something very abruptly that she would never have asked before.
"Sister Zhen, your tone and expression when you talk to him are very much like a angry child, so I think you can give yourself a chance to breathe. In fact, you haven't let him go." Lu Beicen added.
Ran Zhen asked unconsciously: "Impossible, do I have it?"
Fang Nan added at the right moment: "Sister Zhen, that's a bit interesting. Normally, you wouldn't talk to people like this."
"What did I say?" Ran Zhen still didn't want to admit this reality.
"Sister Zhen, you think about it yourself, you don't need us to repeat it again." Fang Nan pouted and said.
After a long silence, Ran Zhen shook his head in a daze: "It still doesn't work. I don't dare to take the risk. If he comes for the child, I, I can't bear the price, and my parents can't bear it..."
Fang Nan and Lu Beicen had no choice but to let Ran Zhen think about this matter on his own. After all, neither of them knew Fan Qigang well, let alone what he was thinking.
The room fell into silence again for a while, but I heard the child and Jiang Zhongze asking and answering questions, walking in laughing and talking. The child held a very small ice cream cone and handed it to Ran Zhen like a treasure: "
Mom, look, I asked Uncle Jiang to buy me such a small ice cream."
Ran Zhen took out a tissue and wiped the sweat on the child's forehead, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously: "Yifan is the best, let's go home after eating the cone, take a bath and sleep, okay?"
The children nodded quickly and said a few words. Fang Nan and Ran Zhen got up and went home with the children. However, Jiang Zhongze looked at Lu Beicen: "Can you stay at home by yourself? Lao Fan is here and asked me to go out to see you.
Face."
Lu Beicen shrugged his eyebrows and briefly told about the phone call between Fan Qigang and Ran Zhen just now, and about Ran Zhen's transfer. Jiang Zhongze shook his head after hearing this: "I'll go ask him what he really thinks.
