Once Upon A One Night Stand

Chapter 41

Shu Tian's hand, which was hanging by her side, tightened a little. She looked nervous. "Hello, Mr.

Fan."

Ye Junting cast an inquiring gaze and his eyes darkened. "It seems that Mr. Fan and my assistant are

old acquaintances?"

Fan Ming pretended to laugh heartily and waved his hand. "Not really. I saw her a few times when she

was in college, but..."

At this point, Fan Ming paused and looked at Shu Tian meaningfully.

Shu Tian didn't know what he meant and simply said, "It's not a good memory."

Fan Ming's expression changed slightly, but he still wore a fake smile. "Yes, but it's all over."

The atmosphere in the private room became a little delicate because of this inexplicable conversation.

Who was Ye Junting? He was an acute lawyer. He sensed that the topic was not friendly, and motioned

for Fan Ming to take a seat. "Since you know each other, I won't make any more introductions. Mr. Fan,

please sit down."

Ye Junting and Fan Ming quickly got to the point. Shu Tian sat next to Ye Junting. As he said, she didn't

need to say anything at all. From time to time, she helped him record what Fan Ming said and some

details.

As the legal representative of Baoyou Group, Fan Ming was merely negotiating further on Mr. Li's

compensation request. He came to Ye Junting to see if they could meet halfway and achieve the

maximum reconciliation.

"Lawyer Ye, you also know that although Li Wei has worked for Baoyou Group for half his life, he is just

an exploration agent and not a worker of management. You may feel I am heartless by saying this. But

in today's economic society, everything should take benefits and values into consideration. He wants

more than one million yuan of compenstion. It's not impossible if we negotiate properly. But now the

thing is in a mess, and it's not easy for the group to deal with it." Fan Ming made the tea as he said. His

slightly swollen face was smiling and greasy as if he was saying something very easy.

When Shu Tian thought of Li Wei's broken finger, the polite smile on her face almost disappeared.

Becauseof this, Li Wei was likely to be ruined for the rest of his life. However, it seemed that it was just

an insignificant thing according to what Fan Ming said.

Shu Tian couldn't help but feel a little angry. On the contrary, Ye Junting didn't have any reaction. He

just listened to Fan Ming calmly and said slowly, "Mr. Fan, I understand what you said. The group has

its own position, but ----"

Ye Junting took a sip of tea and put down the cup. "You should know very well whether compensating

one million yuan is reasonable or not."

Fan Ming squinted with his small eyes behind the lenses and asked Ye Junting, pretending to be

puzzled, "Lawyer Ye, What do you mean?"

The man tapped on the table with his long finger. "I mean that this compensation, no matter what the

group's position is, is within reasonable limits and must be paid."

If what they said just now could only be considered as official words, Ye Junting had already expressed

his position and preparation by saying this sentence.

As he finished speaking, Fan Ming no longer looked as confident as before and smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, Lawyer Ye really hit the right nail on the head. That's why we're sitting here. I mean, the

compensation is not impossible. The most important thing is that Li Wei exposed this matter, which has

caused a lot of negative impact on the group. After we pay the compensation, we still need Li Wei to

cooperate with us in this respect."

"Then how do you want Mr. Li to cooperate with you?" Shu Tian couldn't help but ask.

The clear voice broke in, causing both of them to be stunned.

Ye Junting looked at the woman beside him. Her clear eyes were now looking at Fan Ming sitting

across from her seriously.

Fan Ming reached out to help the glasses on the bridge of his nose. "We also know about Li Wei's life.

He has a daughter who is still in junior high school, and his family condition is not very good. His single

father is counting on him to provide for the elderly and raise a child alone. Now he makes things like

this because he wants money. One million yuan is nothing to Baoyou Group. Our only request is that

after the compensation is paid, Li Wei should obey our requirements regarding this matter."

"Your requirements..." Shu Tian repeated and closed the memo used to record in the phone. "Mr. Fan,

we can only ensure that Mr. Li will describe accoding to the truth. As for your so-called requirements,

we, as lawyers, have no right to interfere."

"Of course." Fan Ming changed the subject. "But we came out with the aim of negotiating today. Let's

not speak these official words, shall we?"

"You mean..." Before Shu Tian could finish speaking, Ye Junting interrupted her.

"If this is Mr. Fan's current condition, we need to negotiate with the party before we can inform you of

the results."

Fan Ming nodded happily. "No problem. Take your time. I'll wait for news from Lawyer Ye."

Shu Tian frowned, lowered her eyes and picked up the teacup on the table. Her fingers tightened

secretly. She drank up the best Longjing green tea in one gulp. The warm liquid flowed down her

throat, across her esophagus and made her whole body warm, but there was no warmth in her heart.

Ye Junting talked to Fan Ming about some more questions. Before he left, Fan Ming suddenly looked at

Shu Tian. A light flashed in his eyes behind the glasses. "I heard that Miss Shu was married. I didn't

have time to attend your wedding ceremony at that time. Let's have dinner together if there is a

chance."

Ye Junting looked at her in surprise. Shu Tian's eyes darkened and her tone changed. "Don't bother Mr.

Fan about my personal matters."

Fan Ming laughed and didn't care that Shu Tian didn't respect him at all. "Like father, like son. I didn't

expect Miss Shu to become a lawyer. Maybe there will be many opportunities to meet you in the future.

Miss Shu, please advise."

Shu Tian pursed her pink lips and quickly let go. "Mr. Fan is a senior. I don't dare to give you advice."

Fan Ming didn't say anything. He just looked at her and smiled. He turned around and walked out of the NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

room with his briefcase.

Shu Tian stared at the man's back as he left, standing there in a daze until he was completely out of

sight.

Ye Junting raised his eyebrows and stepped forward to block her eyes. "Did you know Fan Ming

before?"

Shu Tian shook her head. After shaking her head, she felt that something was wrong. "I think I know

him. He was in charge of my father's case before. There was no other intersection between us."

"Your father?"

"Yes." Thinking of the past, Shu Tian's heart was filled with indescribable uneasiness. Thinking of the

conversation just now, she couldn't help but ask him, "Lawyer Ye, why didn't you directly reject Fan

Ming's offer just now?"

Ye Junting's eyes became serious. "We're just lawyers. We're in charge of the lawsuit. As for how to

make a decision, it's up to the parties to decide."

The implication was that if Li Wei could accept Fan Ming's offer, there was a good chance that the two

would reconcile, even if it was wrong.

If Li Wei really agreed, it would mean that Baoyou Group used more than a million yuan to buy a

statement that deviated from the truth.

What was the difference between this and spending money to keep it a secret?

But this depended on Li Wei's choices, and they, as lawyers, had no right to interfere.

Shu Tian understood everything, but she still couldn't get over it. "I'm going to the bathroom."

As she spoke, she walked out. Before she could reach the door, Ye Junting suddenly reached out and

grabbed her wrist. "Are you married?"
