"Sorry, I'm very busy. I'm afraid I don't have time to chat with President Nalan!"
"Don't worry, it's not just chatting! Of course it won't take up a lot of your time, it will only be ten minutes at most."
Nalan Si said in a calm tone, even though there was no unnecessary expression on his handsome face, his eyes exuded an aura that was irresistible.
He definitely did it on purpose! If she didn't agree, it would be a bit pretentious.
What's funny is that his oppressive expression may have worked on her six years ago, but it just didn't work on her now.
Not wanting to pay attention to Manager Qian who kept winking at her, Huangfu Jing lightly twitched the corners of her lips. Today she was going to be pretentious to the end.
"Sorry, ten minutes..."
"Ten minutes is no problem, ten minutes is definitely no problem!" Seeing that Huangfujing didn't give Nalansi any face, Manager Qian quickly stepped forward and tried to smooth things over, "President Nalan, it doesn't matter if you and Lawyer Huangfu talk alone slowly, I
Get out right away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Qian ran out quickly, not forgetting to close the door of the living room before leaving.
“…”o__o”…
This damn fat man! He was allowed to make his own decisions. Huangfujing stared at the closed door with extreme displeasure, wishing she could go out and peel off his skin right now.
But what made her even more unhappy was the owner of those two looks cast on her!
She clenched her pink fist lightly, bit her lower lip secretly, and the moment she turned around, she had already put on her usual signature smile.
"May I have any advice from President Nalan?"
"President Nalan?!" Nalan Si's tall body stood up from the black sheepskin sofa, "Why do you need to scream so openly? My ex-wife!"
"Haha! President Nalan really loves to joke. If I remember correctly, this is our second meeting. Please don't make fun of me on purpose!"
She deliberately chuckled, and there was a lot of sarcasm behind her signature smile.
What was he like? He refused to let her go once or twice. Did he think the revenge six years ago was not enough?
"You have changed!"
Nalan Si strode up to her, staring at her delicate and pretty face with his deep eyes.
Before such a move, she would have backed away with a face of fear, but now she was able to look at him without fear. Her change caught him off guard, and also made him find it...interesting!
Interesting...very interesting indeed.
What's even more interesting is that she actually chose to marry Huangfu Ao, the man with whom she had been at odds since childhood!
"Why did you marry Huangfu Ao?" The words came out unexpectedly.
"Is this what President Nalan wants to discuss with me alone?" Huangfu Jing asked without answering.
There was still the same hypocritical smile on her little face. She was not interested in knowing the purpose of his asking, because why she married Huangfu Ao had nothing to do with him, a stranger.
Surprisingly, I discovered that her stubbornness has not changed at all!
Nalansi suddenly raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Of course not. Manager Qian just said that I would like to ask you to be the legal advisor of Nalan Group!" He turned around and sat on the soft sofa again, and said in a businesslike tone.
The subtle atmosphere is no longer there, and the brief "reminiscing about the past" just now seems to be just a small interlude.
"Sorry, I just said that I'm afraid I'm not qualified for this job."
The feeling of oppression in front of her disappeared, and Huangfujing declined his job invitation calmly.
Her answer remains the same, nothing but sayno! There are so many top lawyers in the firm, and there are many talented people who want this job except her.
The most important thing is that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him again!
"How many years have you been a lawyer?"
Nalansi picked up the coffee on the table and brought it to his lips to take an elegant sip, deliberately ignoring her refusal.
"Four and a half years!"
Why is he asking this?!
Huangfujing frowned, her face clearly showing that she was unhappy that he had changed the subject.
A minute ago they were clearly talking about work issues!
"In four and a half years, he became the most sought-after barrister in Asia. Such an achievement makes me curious."
His tone was very soft and calm, but she, Huangfu Jing, was such a smart woman that she could easily hear the underlying meaning in his words.
"What's the meaning?"
She removed her extra smile and asked straight to the point.
"Don't you know very well what I mean?" He put down the exquisite coffee cup in his hand and showed an undisguised interest in her, "I just want you to be my lawyer consultant!"
This is a threat in disguise!
What he was curious about was not how she became a golden lawyer. What really interested him was why the Huangfu family took her in...
The sharp nails dug deeply into the palm of his hand. Huangfujing knew very well that he had a character that meant what he said. If he didn't agree today, he would probably really investigate this matter!
"Okay, I promise you!"
No matter what, she couldn't risk the Huangfu family and their two treasures. Since Nalansi wanted to get entangled, she had no choice but to stay with him until the end.
She will let him know that the woman standing in front of him today is Huangfujing and not Li Tianai!
