Chapter 34: I'll Help You Paint

Yu'an handed it to her, there were several missed calls and WeChat messages, some from Lin Zhihao and some from Cheng Zhimin, who had sent a video request. It was probably the children who wanted to...Sunday night, before bed, Zhuo Yu'an said

"Tomorrow morning, take my car to the company" 。"I'll take the subway, no traffic jam, so I won't be late." 。"

They won't start until I get there, since I'm not late." 。"Oh, could Mr. Client's father take care of us a little more tomorrow" 。Shuting Lan was joking. 。Well, seeing your performance tonight... 。He flipped over and pressed down on her again. 。"So this is the unspoken rule..." has been conquered. 。On Monday morning, Zhu Yu'an was still asleep. Shu Tinglan didn't turn on the light and tiptoed across the carpet to the bathroom to wash up and put on makeup. 。When she went back to the bedroom to change clothes, Zhuo Yu'an didn't know when he had woken up. He was leaning against the headboard looking at her calmly. 。Shu Tinglan ignored him, finding a suit to wear in the closet. 。Her wardrobe consisted solely of plain and ordinary work clothes. Lin Zhifei had bought her several sets of work clothes with a bit of thoughtfulness, but they were all left untouched in the closet. 。She was blessed with a good figure and temperament, even in ordinary attire she could wear her own style. Every time Lin Zhiyao saw her, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Heaven is jealous of others."

Especially today because she was going to attend a bidding meeting at Zhuo Yuan Technology, she put on makeup, styled her hair, and every gesture was full of the aura of a workplace elite. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was also satisfied. As Mr. Xiao and Teacher Zhou said, when being a lawyer, spirit is a must-have condition. 。Zhuo Yu'an had gotten up and stood beside her in front of the mirror, carefully looking at her. Shu Tinglan saw his thoughts in his eyes. 。Although they didn't talk about their feelings, they had spent several nights together. He could convey his intentions with just a glance, and she could always understand them. 。This person's eyes were blazing with lust. 。She hurried out the door, not having time to play with him, so she moved a few steps aside to put some distance between them. 。He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, looking at her face-to-face. He held her waist in one hand and with the other, he reached out his thumb and gently wiped away the lipstick from her lips, bit by bit. 。"Hey..." Shu Tinglan was furious. This was her carefully drawn lip makeup, she could lose her head or bleed, but her makeup couldn't be ruined. 。But Zhuo Yu'an remained calm and composed, looking very satisfied at his cleaned lips, he calmly said: "The lipstick color is too bright, it doesn't suit you" 。"This straight guy doesn't understand a thing," Shu Tinglan couldn't help but curse in her heart. 。Zuo Yu'an precisely retrieved a colorless lip balm from her dressing table:

"Your lip color is already beautiful, you just need to apply a touch of lip balm." 。Moreover, at an audition, if your lipstick is too vibrant or too noticeable, the judges' attention might be diverted when you speak. 。He explained it seriously, and he had a point. 。He leaned down slightly, cupping her face in his hand. "

" 。Shutinglan was forced to tilt her face up so he could apply it. 。As a result, for quite some time, he held the lipstick in his hand without putting it down. Instead, his eyes darkened, and he spoke in a low voice:"Before that, I think I need to do something else first." 。His lips had fallen, starting with a gentle lick, then growing deeper and more insistent. Shu Tinglan nearly suffocated before he finally released her. 。Seeing Shu Tinglan's face flushed red, smiling so happily. 。"Hold still, I'll help you apply..." 。Finally, Shu Tinglan successfully arrived late. When she got to Zhuoyuan Technology, Director Xiao and Teacher Zhou had already been there for more than half an hour along with Jiajia. 。Three people were discussing a bidding matter in the small lounge on the first floor. 。"What's going on We agreed to arrive an hour early." 。Director Xiao gave her a sharp, piercing look. 。。Shutinglan admitted his mistake and hurriedly took out his computer to catch up on their discussion progress. 。"Tinglan, and Jiagjia, this is your first time participating in a bidding conference. Just listen in and learn from it. Learn not only from Director Xiao but also from the opposing lawyers. In the future when you do your own projects independently, there will be endless bidding conferences to attend." 。Zhou Ming, on the other hand, was smiling politely. 。Okay 。" Jiajia, especially you, don't say a single word out of place. " 。Director Xiao last instructed 。Don't worry, boss.

After a while, lawyers from other firms also arrived and greeted each other. 。As the most powerful contenders in this bidding, Director Xiao and Zhou Ming are the most watched, with lawyers frequently coming to inquire about information. 。Everyone here knows each other, we're all part of the same circle. Zhou Ming said with a smile,

"You guys are being too much, don't try to get information from me" 。"Do you guys not know about Zhuo Yuan Technology There's information we don't have access to either." 。"Fair competition, fair competition" 。About half an hour later, just before the bidding time, personnel from Zhuoyuan Technology's legal department, technical department, finance department, and operations department all arrived one after another. The project leaders of several major law firms participating in the bidding also arrived one after another. Only Dazhu YUAN arrived late, 15 minutes behind schedule. 。Shuting Lan sat in a position by the door. As Zhuo Yu'an entered, the large conference room instantly fell silent, pin-drop quiet. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button. Everyone held their breath and looked at him. 。Even Lian Shu couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. Dressed in a meticulously tailored suit and trousers, he looked incredibly distinguished and aloof. 。He didn't look at anyone, and sat directly in the middle position. His expression was serious and focused, uttering a cold sentence:

"Let's begin." 。As soon as the start button was pressed, a rustling of papers and the clinking of reports being submitted filled the conference room. 。The bidding meeting was presided over by Zhang, a lawyer from Zhuo Yuan Law Firm. The process was very conventional. Each law firm participating in the bid sent a representative to give a speech in turn. 。Law firms that ultimately make the shortlist are industry leaders. They excel in both their work and their ability to present it, creating a captivating atmosphere. 。Shu Tinglan listened carefully to every speech, wishing she could take notes on their brilliant remarks. 。Zhu Y uan sat in the center, always with not too many expressions. Only when he talked about things he wasn't interested in would he raise an eyebrow slightly. 。This subtle expression was quickly caught by those below, and during the speech, they deliberately avoided related topics. 。Director Xiao was the last to take the stage. As the strongest contender, other law firms were paying special attention to him. 。Shu Tinglan couldn't help but feel nervous, her eyes fixed on Director Xiao onstage, her palms sweating. 。This was her first time participating in this kind of bidding meeting, and it was also Director Xiao's first time truly leading a project with her. She wanted to win more than anyone else. 。Director Xiao opened 。Shutinglan's heart skipped a beat. This was the one she had made, the one Zhuo Yu'an had seen. 。Xiao's direct use of her work was a huge affirmation, filling her with both nervousness and excitement. She couldn't help but glance at Zhuo Yunan before her. 。Remembering that night, he assured me her proposal was perfect and didn't need any changes. Does that mean he was also very satisfied But this person is deep and insincere, who knows if he was truly happy or just making excusesng her smile, he raised an eyebrow at her and gave her a warning look. He was trying to figure out if there was any truth to what she said about them still being in contact. This girl was starting to...
