Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian Chapter 1956 - I’m Sorry, I Can’t Come to Pick You up

Chapter 1956: I’m Sorry, I Can’t Come to Pick You up

“Of course I do.” Xuan Yuanlang chuckled. “But he’s not from Xia City. I just entered Xia City, and I hope that the lawyer is local. It’s easier to settle things. After all, he’s a foreigner.”
“You trust me so much?” An Lan understood his point, and she also thought that his concerns were reasonable.
“I’ve heard some stuff about you. You’re the money-snatching Lawyer An,” Xuan Yuanlang said teasingly. “I admire people who love money as much as I do. People like you are very capable.”
An Lan smiled and said, “alright, let’s have lunch together tomorrow.”
…
At noon the next day, the two of them arranged to meet at a high-end Western restaurant nearby. It was open-air, and outside was Victoria Harbor, which gave them a wide view.
An Lan listened to Xuan Yuanlang talk about his new project in Xia City. She couldn’t help but to be amazed by the foresight of people like Nian Junting and Xuan Yuanlang, who were always at the forefront of others. They weren’t predicting the future development of the market, instead, they were driving the direction of the market.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Mr Nian about your project when I get back?” An Lan said half-jokingly.
“You definitely have work ethics,” Xuan Yuanlang said with a half-smile while holding a glass of red wine. “Unless you don’t want to work in this industry anymore.”
“You’re so ruthless. I’m your junior after all,” An Lan sighed lightly.
“Not when you decided to betray me,” Xuan Yuanlang picked up his knife and fork, his gaze was sharp. “But you won’t. Based on my understanding of Nian Junting, he’s not interested in these projects. Besides, I won’t let you be responsible for some confidential agreements and contracts. Those are all drawn up by my legal consultant. You only need to be responsible for setting up the company system, preventing and resolving some legal risks and problems with the labor contract. Of course, if there are some negotiations and disputes involved, you need to step up.”
“I can’t do it alone. I need to bring my law firm with me,” An Lan said, “after all, your project is quite big.”
“Deal.”
Xuan Yuanlang clinked glasses with her and said, “I’ll see you in Xia City.”
An Lan was in a good mood during the meal. After she went back, she called Li Yuchen and told him about it. Li Yuchen was overjoyed, “Tsk, tsk, An, you’re really my God of Wealth. I didn’t expect you to not only know Nian Junting, but also connect with Xuan Yuanlang. Once this project is done, he’ll definitely work with us again. I knew that I could get abalone if I work with you…”
“Stop,” An Lan said rudely. “If you really think that you can get abalone by working with me, then don’t become Xu Baohan’s spy, okay? You were the one who tipped him off about the flowers last time.”
“Don’t say that. Chief Judge Xu will become your husband sooner or later,” Li Yuchen chuckled. “I’m trying to build a good relationship with your future hubby in advance. Besides, I’m doing this so that your relationship won’t be misunderstood.”
“Forget it.” An Lan didn’t want to talk about him anymore.
In the afternoon, the group took a plane back to Xia city.
Before boarding the plane, An Lan and Xu Baohan had a phone call. In the court, Xu Baohan was preparing for a trial. When he received the call, he was helpless. “An Lan, I’m sorry, I can’t come to pick you up.”
Sometimes, as a judge, he was really helpless. Unlike other public servants who could leave after taking a leave of absence. He basically had an open a court session every day, so he couldn’t take a leave of absence.
“It doesn’t matter. In the afternoon, you can just leave work on time and cook the dishes that I like to eat,” An Lan said with a smile. “I’m tired of eating the delicacies in Hong Kong every day. I kind of miss your simple meals.”
