Kuo was startled by this statement and slammed on the brakes. A picture flashed in his mind – Cheng Chen asking him before leaving Shenzhou, "Can we still be together"Thinking of that scene, there was...Xiaoxin saw it first. She tugged at Shu's lawyer's clothes.

"Why is Mr. Zhu here" In her eyes, Mr. Zhu was from a completely different world than the legal professionals present. He was a business elite, while the lawyers at the Bar Association were all a bit old-fashioned or had an image of being veteran cadres.

To see him sitting there calmly, with Director Han and Judge Liu on either side, was simply amazing.

Shu Tinglan was still relatively calm. Given her understanding of Zhuo Yúan, it wasn't surprising that he would attend any event.

When the director Han saw her arrive, he greeted her:

"Xiaoshu, here you are."

She was the star of the celebration, so she received a lot of attention. All the lawyers present turned to look at her. Many of them had only heard her name but never met her before. Seeing her now, they couldn't help but...

"I didn't expect Mr. Shu to be so young."

She's not only young but also very beautiful. If it weren't for her excellent performance in the Xu Wei case, they would have just seen her as a pretty face. This is probably a stereotype about beautiful girls.

Although she was the star of the celebratory banquet, in terms of seniority, everyone at the table was her senior. So, there was a lot of consideration put into seating arrangements. She proactively chose to sit opposite both Director Han and Judge Liu, which also meant sitting directly opposite Zhuo YUAN. Xiao Xin, who was accompanying her, sat beside her as well.

Being capable and down-to-earth while also being so beautiful, naturally everyone has a good impression of her.

"Truly, there are always talented individuals emerging in every generation. We can rest assured that we can pass on this responsibility to the lawyers of this generation."

"Yes, the young are to be feared."

Shù Tīng Lán, being praised so directly, was a little uncomfortable. He quickly humbled himself and said...

“The progress of this case is a result of the hard work of the seniors. I'm just following the path paved by them, and it’s nothing special.”

"Lawyer Xia Shu is too modest." She's really getting better and better the more I look at her.

All the lawyers present are shrewd. After praising her, they naturally began to praise Director Han and Judge Liu as well.

"It was Director Han's sharp eye that recommended young talents like Xiao Shu to take charge of this case. It was also Judge Liu, as a legal professional, who took responsibility and stood firm under pressure to retry the case. Without any link in the process, it wouldn't have worked. On behalf of everyone, I thank you."

He raised his glass to toast, finishing it in one go. However, he was a gentleman and didn't pressure anyone else to drink; everyone chose to partake as they pleased.

And the organizers were thoughtful, knowing there were girls present, they also set out a few bottles of fruit wine. But Shu Tinglan only took a small sip, fruit wine is still wine after all, and instead, Xiao Xin next to her thought it was delicious and drank several more sips.

Then came the praise for Zhu YUAN, the only outsider present. Although no one except Director Han and Judge Liu knew why he was there, look at his position – sitting between the most respected Director Han and Judge Liu, his status was self-evident.

These people are shrewd, they can praise someone in every possible way.

“I raise my glass to Mr. Zhu, it is precisely because of the attention of such a righteous and socially responsible person like Mr. Zhu that this case has gained such influence. This influence is what will be passed down through generations, able to deter the public, prosecutorial, and judicial sectors, benefiting society as a whole. The merit is immeasurable, immeasurable.”

For some reason, Shu Tinglan sitting opposite Zhu Yu'an found it amusing when someone described Zhu Yu'an as having boundless merit. The four characters simply didn't seem to fit him at all.

She was very restrained, even when she found something amusing, only the corners of her lips would twitch and her eyebrows would raise slightly. However, unbeknownst to her, this expression was seen by Zhou Yu'an across from her.

She hid a smile and when she glanced at him unintentionally, he glared at her fiercely. He must have been quite annoyed too; being complimented with that term all of a sudden made him feel like an old geezer.

After all the praise was given, the theme of this celebration was complete, and that's when the atmosphere started to relax.

Director Han asked her:

"Has Lawyer Xiao Shu considered staying in Senzhou to develop It's a pity for such talent to be in a city like this." After all, it's not a first-tier city.

Zuo Yuyan listened to Director Han's question, her gaze fixed on her, as if waiting for an answer. Xiao Xin beside her also placed the cup of fruit wine in her hand, waiting for the response from her family lawyer Shu.

Only Shu Tinglan said: "Thank you, Director Han. I haven't considered it yet."

“Are you afraid of Mr. Sun, the lawyer I can help you talk to him. Young people should think about the future. There are many opportunities in Senzhou.”

"No, because my family is in the city and I haven't thought about leaving them for now."

When she talks about family, she mainly refers to the two little kids.

However, to Zhu Yuyan's ears, the family she was referring to was Yi Mu Yang. She was willing to give up a better job opportunity to stay in the city for that man.

His eyes darkened, his hand unconsciously turning the water glass on the table, looking at Shu Tinglan. The aura around him involuntarily dropped a few points. Shu Tinglan pretended not to see it.

When the gathering ended, she personally escorted each lawyer to the door, bidding them farewell one by one. She was very considerate in terms of social etiquette. As for leaving last were Han Director and Judge Liu. They stood at the door talking to Zhuo YUAN, who nodded. When they passed by Shu Tinglan, he paused.

“Xiao Shu, if you want to develop in Senzhou, feel free to contact me.” Director Han cherishes talent and doesn’t forget to continue recruiting her.

"Well, there will certainly be many more opportunities for cooperation in the future." she replied respectfully.

Judge Liu simply nodded at her, said goodbye, and left. He didn't say much throughout the entire evening. After all, being in his position, he wasn't particularly keen on interacting with lawyers. He was only there tonight for Zhuo Yu An.

Everyone left, only Zhuo Yu'an was left, and he asked her.

"How do I get back"

"Get a taxi," she thought, not wanting to engage with him any more than necessary.feel real.Because Chen Chen was with me, we were very efficient. We finished shooting all the locations in just an afternoon on Saturday. I originally planned to stay in a hotel so as not to disturb C...
