Chapter 219: Meeting an Old Schoolmate

a long-distance relationship now." 。"Shu Tinglan was filled with remorse: "After this case is over, I'll never take any out-of-town cases again." 。"Yi Muyang sent a "touching" emoji and then said: “I...Yi Muyang has always been pampered, especially after his leg was broken. He really treated himself as a disabled person, unable to move, lying in bed all day, wishing he could have someone feed him water and meals.

When the renovation company people came, he grumbled.

"I went to court yesterday, I'm so exhausted. You better be able to wrap things up today. Talk to my lawyer." He leaned against the bed, his plaster-covered leg resting beside them, looking especially swollen.

Even the renovation company people don't want to waste too many words, getting straight to the point.

“Your offer of 1.6 million yuan is definitely unacceptable to me. Our company has paid for the upfront labor costs and materials, and we have suffered heavy losses.”

"What does that have to do with me" Yi Mu yang, who had said he would only be an observer, couldn't help but retort.

"Well, I can only offer you a full price of 1.2 million. We both make a concession."

This decoration company is well-known in the industry, specializing in interior design. It's a nationwide chain with several branches. Now that its account has been frozen, the impact is huge. They have no choice but to make concessions.

"Mr. Shu, do you think there's any room for negotiation I'm so tired, if you're not here in good faith, please don't bother me while I'm sick."

He shouted again, and the caregiver poured water for him to drink and gently massaged his shoulders, acting like she was serving an emperor.

Shu Tinglan glanced at him and said to the decoration company's people: "I'm sorry, our 1.6 million was calculated carefully. This extreme sports gym, the monthly rent is 300,000 yuan. It has been delayed for more than a month now, not to mention the benefits generated in a month. This 1.6 million is the minimum."

Even the head of the renovation company couldn't budge on the price, there was no room for negotiation.

"1.4 million."

Shu Tinglan shook her head.

1.45 million

Still shook his head.

The other party gritted their teeth.

"1.5 million, that's the maximum."

On the hospital bed, Yi Muyang smiled and said: “Alright, I’m not being unreasonable. I’ll take a little loss. Lawyer Shu, sign the agreement with him.”

Then, in the hospital room, he signed the agreement immediately and waited for the other party to transfer the funds.

Things went surprisingly smoothly. After the other party left, Yi Muyang gave her a thumbs-up.

"Mr. Shu is really amazing. Actually, my target price was 1.2 million, but I didn't expect Mr. Shu to actually help me negotiate for 1.5 million."

Shu Tinglan remained noncommittal. This case had been much smoother than she'd anticipated. The real challenge lay ahead. She wanted to become the long-term legal counsel for Yi Muyang's extreme sports challenge center, and that meant maintaining a good relationship with him.

Put all the case-related content into the bag. I thought I'd take another look at it tomorrow. But Yi Muyang called her out.

"Lawyer Shu, please wait a moment. Let me introduce you to a friend of mine. He'll be here shortly." This friend was the one he always mentioned, the black-hearted lawyer whose soul had been corrupted by the capitalists, Tang Weijun.

When Tang Weijun came in, he was dressed in the usual lawyer's attire, a finely tailored suit and tie. He didn't seem to be aware that he was visiting a patient at all. He leaned down and examined Yi Muyang's broken leg up and down, then said with a venomous tongue:

“I said, how are you still bouncing around Only one leg is broken” There was a hint of pity in his words. If both legs were broken, that would be better. He’d be completely disabled, unable to bounce around at all.

Yi Muyang was furious, about to curse, but seeing a girl beside him, he grudgingly picked up the orange in his hand and threw it at Tang Weijun. Tang Weijun was quick-witted and dodged slightly. The orange hit Shu Tinglan instead, almost shattering her glasses.

"Sorry, sorry..." Tang Weijun apologized hastily. Seeing Shu Tinglan, he felt a bit familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

“Lawyer Shu, I’m sorry. If you want to scold someone, scold him. He dodged it and innocent people got hurt.”

Shu Tinglan casually rubbed his forehead without speaking. He had a vague sense of familiarity with Yi Muyang's friend, wondering if he had met him in some case before

Yi Muyang then seriously introduced them.

“This is Shu Tinglan, the lawyer. She’s handling my renovation dispute case. She charges more than him and provides better service.”

"Mr. Shu, this is the dishonest lawyer Tang Weijun I mentioned to you."

After hearing Yi Muyang's introduction, the two suddenly realized.

"Shu Tinglan"

"Tang Wei-jun"

It turned out they were university classmates. The world really is small. After so many years, they were both a little surprised to see each other again.

“Do you know them” This time, Yi Muyang was completely confused.

"We were classmates, Tinglan was our school beauty back then." Tang WeiJun wondered what kind of fate this was It had been so many years since they graduated from university, and he actually saw Shu Tinglan here at Yi MuYang's place.

Class flower

Yimu Yang took a look up and down at Shu Tinglan, who was dressed in all black. She thought to herself, "Your law school is really lacking in girls, isn't it"

Shu Tinglan didn't say much, just exchanged WeChat contacts with Tang Weijun and said they should stay in touch.

Back then, when she was in college, she didn't socialize much with her classmates. After classes every day, she would go straight to work. Over four years of university, many classmates were just acquaintances, barely familiar. After graduation, they practically had no contact, so she only had a vague impression of them.

Tang Weijun is quite talkative. After adding WeChat, he said,

“Tinglan, I remember you were doing non-litigation work before” Although they didn’t know each other personally, as classmates who were all legal professionals, they would hear some news about each other. He knew she had transitioned from a company to Hongzheng Law Firm, which was a well-known “red circle” firm, and he knew a bit about her through the grapevine.

"Well, let's move on to litigation now." Shu Tinglan replied calmly.

It has been many years since we graduated from university. Everyone has gone their separate ways, each walking their own path in life. Some have stumbled and made mistakes, while others have climbed the ladder of success steadily. It's a bittersweet feeling to see how things have changed.

Tang Weijun has always been a gifted talker. Back in his school days, he was a key member of the debate team. After graduation, he dove headfirst into the world of commercial litigation and quickly made a name for himself. Naturally, he became quite confident and boisterous. When he ran into his old classmate Yi Muyang, he immediately started chatting him up excitedly.

Shu Tinglan is not like she used to be a few years ago, preferring to keep to herself. Now, even if she dislikes socializing inwardly, for work's sake, she still puts on a good show. Whatever Tang Weijun talks about, she talks about it too, at least preventing the atmosphere from becoming cold.

Only the "disabled person" on the hospital bed glared angrily at them, what did that mean

He wanted to use Lawyer Shu to temper Tang Weijun's sharp edges, but instead, he ended up connecting the two old classmates and establishing a social bridge between them. He was furious and would periodically make some noise to get their attention.

When old classmates meet, the best way to bridge the gap and break the ice is to talk about former classmates. Tang Weijun kept in touch with most of his classmates, so he talked about many of their current situations. Shu Tinglan just listened, occasionally nodding in agreement, until Tang Weijun mentioned Lin Zhi's name.

“I remember that your best friend in college was Lin Zhifei, right You two were inseparable, like sisters.” Tang Weijun had a deep impression of them because both she and Lin Zhifei were beautiful. Every time they walked together, they were the most beautiful scenery on campus.

She is getting married next month.arly wasn't interested in her. 。"Chase after him, the more he avoids me, the more it proves that I've affected him. Otherwise, if his heart were truly at ease, why would he avoid me" 。"Well, that's a...
