Lawyer's character

"By the way, Sister Lan, which company are we discussing cooperation with today?" Fang Yi asked, changing the topic.

"It's a construction company under the Defa Group. They recently took over two real estate projects. We plan to cooperate with them and get some business." Sister Lan said.

oh! It's Defa Group again. No wonder Director Sun is working so hard to please Zhou Defa. Even well-known entrepreneurs in the county like Sister Lan follow him. It seems that Defa Group is amazing!

"I heard that Defa Group is headquartered in Beijing and has a subsidiary in the city. Is it the company you said you want to cooperate with?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, it turns out that the headquarters of Defa Group is in the city. Later, it developed and was registered in the province. Every year, leaders from the province visit their company.

Later, for better development, Mr. Zhou bought a building in Beijing and moved the company's headquarters directly there. What remains in the city is their wholly-owned subsidiary and the headquarters of their construction sector.

In addition, the headquarters of the cultural sector is also in the city. However, the headquarters of financial companies and education sectors are both in Beijing.

This is the first time we have cooperated with each other. Whether we can succeed or not can only be determined step by step. After all, there are too many people looking for cooperation with them. "Sister Lan said.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Sister Lan took her assistant and Fang Yi to an office in the Defa Construction Office Building. The door of the office was open.

"Mr. Liu, long time no see." Sister Lan knocked on the door and walked in.

There was a fat black man with a big nose and a broad forehead sitting behind the desk in the room, writing something at his desk. Seeing Sister Lan entering the door, he stood up and said, "Mr. Gao, please sit down quickly. Why are you here in person?"

"This is the first time that our two families have cooperated. For such a big thing, I wouldn't be able to do it. These two are lawyer Fang and my assistant." Sister Lan introduced.

Mr. Liu nodded to Fang Yi and the assistant as a greeting, and the two sat on the sofa and started chatting.

"Mr. Liu, what I mentioned last time..." Sister Lan didn't say it clearly, but it was obvious that the two parties had met before. Sister Lan made some requests and was waiting for Mr. Liu's reply.

"Originally, your Shengfeng Group was considered a large construction company in the county and a prominent enterprise in the city. However, the two real estate projects we recently acquired are very famous, and many construction companies came over to get a share of the pie. This matter is a bit difficult to handle..." Mr. Liu was confused. After saying that, he leaned on the chair and smoked a cigarette.

"Hey, look at my memory. Xiao Qiao, go downstairs to the car and bring up the latest materials we prepared." Sister Lan winked at the assistant.

The assistant was also a person with clear eyes and eyebrows. He immediately understood what Sister Lan meant, agreed and walked out.

Seeing that Sister Lan deliberately dismissed the assistant, Fang Yi was also very discerning and stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

Fang Yi and his assistant went out together and came downstairs. About half an hour later, Sister Lan and Mr. Liu came to the car talking and laughing.

Mr. Liu got into his Audi car, followed Sister Lan's car, and went directly to a restaurant near the company. This restaurant was decorated very high-end, and you could tell at a glance that it was a high-consumption place.

In the private room of the restaurant, Fang Yi basically played the role of accompanying everyone to eat. He felt very bored, but he had to accompany him without smiling and pretending. For the first time, Fang Yi felt that inviting someone to dinner was so tiring.

The assistant came out to pay the bill, and he also made an excuse and ran out. He was thinking of finding a place to smoke a cigarette and relax, but he didn't expect to run into an acquaintance.

"Lawyer Fang, what a coincidence! Are you here for dinner too?" came a familiar voice.

Fang Yi turned around and saw that it was Lawyer Zhou whom the old lady of the Zhou family met at the bun shop one day when she was doing some errands.

"Hello Lawyer Zhou, I'm here with a friend. Have you finished eating?" Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Well, do you want to smoke one? There is a terrace in front." Lawyer Zhou smiled and took out a box of Su cigarettes and looked at him.

"Okay." Anyway, he was a transparent person in the private room, so he just made room for Sister Lan and Mr. Liu to talk alone.

The terrace that Lawyer Zhou mentioned was more than 30 square meters in size, with some flowers and plants placed on it, and a few tables placed under umbrellas. Because the weather was already cold, there was no one on the terrace.

The noon sun was warm on their bodies. Fang Yi and Lawyer Zhou stood on the edge of the terrace, smoking and chatting.

"Lawyer Zhou, do you practice law in the city?" Fang Yi asked.

"No, I practice law in the capital. I have something to do these days, so I will always be here. What about you? How is the business in the county?" Lawyer Zhou asked.

The two of them were not familiar with each other, and they had only met each other twice this time, but Fang Yi felt very comfortable chatting with each other, and Lawyer Zhou also felt that the two of them got along very well. Maybe this was fate.

"The business in the county is not as good as yours in the capital, we just make ends meet. By the way, can't you tell me your name? After chatting for a long time, I don't even know your name." Fang Yi said casually.

"Zhou Shen." Lawyer Zhou took out a business card and looked at Fang Yi with a smile.

Fang Yi took the business card: "Sorry, I didn't bring my business card."

Then he straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "My name is Fang Yi. Nice to meet you."

"My name is Zhou Shen. Nice to meet you." Lawyer Zhou also imitated him and said.

After a while, the two burst into laughter.

"Okay, don't be so serious, as if the two countries have established diplomatic relations. I still owe you a meal. While I am here during this time, call me when you are free, and I will treat you to a meal. Zhou Shen laughed.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a meal. If you go to the capital, I can find you." Fang Yi shook the business card in his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay! When you come to the capital, I'll treat you to a big dinner." Zhou Shen patted Fang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Did you go to university in Hebei Province?"

"No, I majored in law at the Law University in Beijing. Later I studied for a bachelor's degree, a master's degree and a Ph.D., and I was a bookworm for several years." Fang Yi laughed at himself.

"Ouch! I didn't expect that we are alumni. I studied at French University for my undergraduate degree, and then went to Yale for my JD degree." Zhou Shen said in surprise.

"Alumni, you are awesome. Yale Law School is relatively small and very competitive. The number of students enrolled each year is only about two hundred. I also wanted to apply back then... I am so envious!" Fang Yi's eyes showed envy. light.

"You are also a doctor, and I am also a doctor. There is nothing to envy." Zhou Shen smiled and looked at his watch: "It's getting late. I have plans for the afternoon, so I won't talk more."

"Okay, I should be almost there." Fang Yi said.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and returned indoors one after another.

Ever since they found out they were schoolmates, the relationship between the two seemed to have become even closer. Zhou Shen was three years ahead of Fang Yi, so he was naturally his senior brother.
