Volume 7: Mr. Love, Elite Lawyer, and Two Conjectures about Marriage Chapter 474 Why Rabbits Don't Eat Grass Near Their Nests
"Meiwei, are you okay?"
Just after Yuan Xudong added Wu Meiwei on WeChat, Dai Xi came over in her coffee shop work clothes and asked with concern. Wu Meiwei glanced at her and smiled:
"I'm fine, Dai Xi, why are you here?"
"Let me see what's going on with you."
"It's okay, I spilled coffee on someone. Hey, can you transfer 10,000 yuan to me via WeChat first?"
"Ten thousand dollars?"
"Keep your voice down so he doesn't hear you. I'll pay you back next month, okay?"
"Really? Why are you so unlucky lately?"
"How should I know?"
While Dai Xi was talking quietly with Wu Meiwei, she looked up at Yuan Xudong and saw that it was the person who helped her in the elevator this morning. She couldn't help but said with some surprise:
"Mr. Yuan, we meet again!"
“It’s you!”
Seeing Dai Xi, Yuan Xudong glanced at Wu Meiwei who was standing next to her and said with a smile:
"Your friend?"
"She is my best friend, her name is Wu Meiwei, and she is a designer."
Dai Xi introduced with a smile. Wu Meiwei didn't expect that Dai Xi would know Yuan Xudong. She immediately smiled and said:
"So you two know each other?"
"You have to pay compensation even if you know me, but I can let you pay less."
Yuan Xudong said seriously. Seeing him like this, Wu Meiwei's face fell and she couldn't help but said angrily:
"You are so stingy. How much should I compensate you?"
"Since you are Dai Xi's best friend, I'll give you a 5% discount. How about 9,500 yuan?"
As Yuan Xudong spoke, he took off his suit and put it on his arm. He was only wearing a white shirt. Looking at his perfect figure hidden under the white shirt, Wu Meiwei couldn't help but slightly widen her eyes looked at him twice more.
"Can I help you clean that?"
Looking at Wu Meiwei, who was a bit of a nympho but actually quite pretty, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"That's fine, if you buy me a cup of coffee."
"Okay, what kind of coffee would you like?"
"Macchiato."
…
In the coffee shop where Dai Xi worked, Yuan Xudong and Wu Meiwei sat opposite each other in a window seat in the back row.
While drinking the macchiato coffee in the cup, Yuan Xudong looked at Wu Meiwei opposite him and smiled:
"Miss Wu, I'd like to ask, do you have a boyfriend?"
"ah?"
When Wu Meiwei heard Yuan Xudong ask her this question, her face turned red and she said:
"Not yet. Why are you asking me this?"
"Don't get me wrong, I'm actually single too and I'm planning on going on a blind date, so I wanted to ask you girls for your opinions."
Seeing Wu Meiwei suddenly feeling a little shy, Yuan Xudong said:
"I heard that girls nowadays are very materialistic, especially houses. To be honest, I still rent a house in Beijing, and I am a little worried that no girl will be interested in me. Do you think my worry is unnecessary?"
"It depends on the person. Everyone is different. But if it's a blind date, girls should pay more attention to the man's material conditions. After all, there is no emotional foundation between the two people."
At this point, Wu Meiwei looked up at Yuan Xudong and said with some doubt:
"You are very pretty, how come you don't have a girlfriend?"
"You are pretty, so why don't you have a boyfriend?"
Yuan Xudong did not answer but asked instead. Wu Meiwei could not help but roll her eyes at him and said with a smile,
"You're so smooth-talking, you must be lying to me, right?"
"No, I learned this from my colleague. He often falls in love, so he taught me a few tricks when he had time."
"real?"
"Really? Anyone who lies to you is a puppy!"
"The puppy doesn't lie!"
"I won't lie!"
…
At the counter not far away, Wu Meiwei and Yuan Xudong were seen sitting in the corner of the coffee shop, laughing and joking. Dai Xi's boyfriend Mai Fei, who was also Wu Meiwei's attorney and a salaried lawyer at Long Ke Law Firm, was lying on the counter, looking at Dai Xi standing inside the counter and asked curiously:
"What's going on? Who is that man?"
"Mr. Yuan, I just met a friend who works at Tengfei Capital on the 12th floor!"
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong and Wu Meiwei who were chatting happily, Dai Xi looked at her boyfriend Mai Fei and said with a smile:
"I think Mr. Yuan likes Meiwei, and Meiwei also likes Mr. Yuan very much. There is definitely a chance for the two of them!"
"Oh my, is this called love at first sight, or lust at first sight?"
"screw you!"
Dai Xi rolled her eyes at Mai Fei who was joking around, and couldn't help but warn him:
"I'm warning you, don't ruin Meiwei's good fortune, do you hear me?"
"I see. Your best friend is troublesome and stingy. I don't want to bother with her. It's better for you to find a boyfriend as soon as possible so that she won't pester you all day long."
"Don't say that about Meiwei. It's not easy for her to be alone in Beijing, and she doesn't have much money."
"Yes, yes, she is very pitiful and has no money to sue. I, a small lawyer, deserve this. Not only do I have to work for free, but I also have to do the job until she is satisfied. Can you tell her to change lawyers?"
"Then who do you want her to replace? She has no money. Besides, which lawyer is willing to represent her for free?"
"As for me, isn't my unlucky lawyer free?"
"Don't all you lawyers want money?"
"yes!"
"Whoever pays will speak for him?"
"Yes, that's what our profession is like. Justice has a cost, and lawyers also charge fees for lawsuits. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I get it. I'll pay for Meiwei's lawyer fees. Are you satisfied now?"
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore!"
With a blank look, Mai Fei knew that Dai Xi was protecting her best friend. He glanced at the entrance of the coffee shop and whispered:
"Liu Yingmei is here, I'm going to meet him!"
"Be careful!"
"Don't worry, I'm the genius lawyer Mai Fei!"
…
After Jose offended Ren Xiaonian, Ren Xiaonian's assistant and lover Sasha helped him find a new litigation lawyer, who was Liu Yingmei. Liu Yingmei was Jose's brother-in-law and the son-in-law of legal giant He Jiayi. He called Wu Meiwei and wanted to talk to her attorney Mai Fei. It was because of this that Wu Meiwei came to the coffee shop where Dai Xi worked at this time today, and then ran into Yuan Xudong by chance. From then on, her life was no longer ordinary.
When Liu Yingmei came in, Mai Fei found a place to sit with him and said straight to the point:
"Lawyer Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it to my face. I'm listening!"
"Well, I'll just say what I want to say!"
"you say!"
Looking up at Mai Fei, Liu Yingmei said in a low voice:
"I am a friend of Mr. Ren. Mr. Ren has a large family and a large business. Over the years, there have always been some people who have tried to sue him, saying that their company has plagiarized other people's ideas and infringed on other people's intellectual property rights..."
"I'm sorry, Lawyer Liu, I have something else to do later!"
Seeing Liu Yingmei talking about these useless words, Mai Fei couldn't help but interrupt him, and seeing that Mai Fei looked a little impatient, Liu Yingmei said directly:
"Then I'll make it short. Mr. Ren is the chairman of a listed company. He has invested in more than 20 companies and is also a shareholder of these 20 companies. The best thing about our profession as lawyers is that we will collect attorney fees regardless of whether we win or lose the case. Sometimes, we can earn more from losing a case than from winning."
After listening to Liu Yingmei's words, Mai Fei pretended to be confused and smiled:
"But I still don't know what you are talking about."
After looking at Mai Fei, Liu Yingmei continued:
"A person may only have one lawsuit in her lifetime, and she usually won't have any legal needs. So whether you help her win or lose, she won't be your repeat customer. But for a boss like Mr. Ren, it's different. He has legal needs all year round, and he has countless complaints. If you can just give you one, that's enough for you, right?"
"Oh, so what you mean is that my client has no money and no fame. If I represent her, I won't make much money. Even if I win this lawsuit, it will only be a one-time deal because she won't sue all the time. So I might as well just do it for her and let her lose the lawsuit, but you will compensate me so that I won't lose in vain. Do I understand correctly?"
"you……"
After Mai Fei finished speaking, Liu Yingmei was about to say something, but when he saw Mai Fei's phone still on the table, his face changed and he asked:
“You recorded it?”
"Yes!"
Seeing that Liu Yingmei had discovered that he was recording, Mai Fei simply admitted it openly:
"Go back and tell your friend Ren Xiaonian that if he doesn't want to lose to us, there will be a more decent solution. Admit the plagiarism, apologize publicly, remove all the infringing works, and pay my client 5 million in compensation!"
"You are blackmailing me. Even if the court sentences me, it can't possibly sentence me so much!"
"Then see you in court!"
Seeing the breakdown of the negotiations, Liu Yingmei poured the coffee he was drinking onto Mai Fei's phone, then accidentally dropped the phone to the ground and stepped on it twice. Only when the phone was broken into pieces did he find the memory card inside and broke it, laughing:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'll give you a new one!"
Seeing that Liu Yingmei had blatantly and deliberately broken his phone, Mai Fei was so angry that he grabbed his collar and wanted to beat him up . Liu Yingmei still smiled calmly and said:
"I have a serious heart disease, you'd better think carefully before you do anything!"
"good!"
Seeing Liu Yingmei clearly trying to act like a rogue, Mai Fei could only hold back his anger. He was still very young, and there was no point in bothering with someone who was already destined to go downhill. He even helped Liu Yingmei tidy up her clothes and patted his chest, looking like a good friend. Liu Yingmei also smiled and said:
"Thank you, bye!"
…
Yuan Xudong was not interested in the contest between Mai Fei and Liu Yingmei. He was more interested in Wu Meiwei, a young and beautiful woman who had never been in a relationship and had a good figure. Perhaps she had watched too many idol dramas and had some attributes of a fanatic and a rotten girl. Yuan Xudong was almost 100% sure that this woman had a good impression of him. The same was true for Yuan Xudong. He felt that he might be sick, as if he had a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. He had a strong desire to collect and wanted to collect many beautiful women.
After finishing his coffee, Yuan Xudong looked at Wu Meiwei who was sitting opposite him and said with a smile:
"Ms. Wu, it's still early, how about we take a walk around here?"
"OK!"
After saying hello to Dai Xi and her boyfriend Mai Fei, Yuan Xudong took Wu Meiwei out of the coffee shop. Without any intention of hiding anything, he took Wu Meiwei directly to the underground parking lot. When Wu Meiwei saw that Yuan Xudong was driving a luxury car worth millions, she said hesitantly:
"Mr. Yuan, did you buy this car yourself?"
"No, the car was given to me by the company, but the company is mine!"
Looking at Wu Meiwei with her eyes slightly wide open, Yuan Xudong opened the passenger door for her and said with a smile:
"Come on in the car. If you have any questions, you can ask them directly. I will tell you everything I know!"
"good!"
…
As night fell, Yuan Xudong drove Wu Meiwei to the residential building where she lived. Compared with the daytime, Wu Meiwei was now wearing a brand new Gucci dress of the latest model. This silk dress was naturally bought by Yuan Xudong as a gift to her in the name of compensation. Although Wu Meiwei whispered to Yuan Xudong that her dress was a high imitation, Yuan Xudong still insisted on giving her a real one.
After buying the skirt, they went to the nearby Hilton Hotel for a meal and then went to the cinema to watch a movie. Although they were not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, it was almost like a date. Yuan Xudong and Wu Meiwei both enjoyed this kind of ambiguous relationship.
"Here it is. We're here. Thank you for today!"
"fine!"
After getting off the car, Yuan Xudong and Wu Meiwei stood downstairs of her house and chatted for a while. At this time, Wu Meiwei looked at Yuan Xudong and whispered:
"Then you should go back early and be careful on the road!"
"Okay, you go up first, I'll leave soon!"
"Well, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Before Wu Meiwei could take a few steps, Yuan Xudong called her again:
"Meiwei!"
Seeing Wu Meiwei looking back at him, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Wait a minute, just give me a minute!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong say this, Wu Meiwei looked at him curiously, and saw Yuan Xudong take out a gift box from the car, opened it, and took out an Hermès scarf from the gift box. He walked up to Wu Meiwei, draped the scarf on her shoulders and said with a smile:
"I know you girls like to wear this kind of beautiful and fashionable clothes, but I don't like you to expose your shoulders. This Hermès scarf is also very beautiful. It matches your Gucci skirt very well. Can you use it to cover it up a little bit in the future?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong personally putting on the Hermès scarf for her, Wu Meiwei blushed and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan. Don't you like girls wearing clothes like mine?"
"No, actually I like it very much, and you look really pretty in this dress, very beautiful!"
As Yuan Xudong spoke, he couldn't help but touch Wu Meiwei's arm. He looked into Wu Meiwei's eyes and whispered:
"I just don't want others to see you like this, do you understand me?"
"What do you mean?"
Wu Meiwei pretended not to understand, Yuan Xudong just smiled and did not continue to explain, but changed the subject and said with a smile:
"Meiwei, can I hug you for a minute? Just one minute, okay?"
Although he didn't hear Wu Meiwei agree, he also didn't hear her refuse. Yuan Xudong naturally knew what to do. He directly hugged Wu Meiwei into his arms. After about a minute, looking at Wu Meiwei who was so close, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but kiss her lips gently and said softly:
"Good night!"
"Good night!"
Wu Meiwei blushed immediately when Yuan Xudong suddenly kissed her, and her heart was beating fast, but she did not feel disgusted. She just said good night and ran to her home. After she ran into the building and disappeared, Yuan Xudong drove away. The corner of his mouth curled up with a wicked smile. This Wu Meiwei seemed to taste good.
