A room on the second floor of the villa.

Men's and women's clothes were scattered all over the floor, and their black stockings were torn and half hanging on the sofa, which was extremely obscene.

Fu Yuanzhou leaned against the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette lazily, with a look of satisfaction between his eyebrows.

The girl next to him had a flushed face and a seductive look on her face, still immersed in the crazy sex just now.

The phone vibrated, Fu Yuanzhou took a puff of cigarette and picked it up calmly.

Zhou Yu said respectfully, "Brother Zhou, the Ruan family just held a press conference announcing the dissolution of their engagement with the Jiang family. Also, there's a rumor online that Jiang Shixu checked into a hotel with a popular female star, suggesting he's cheating on her."

"Heh." Fu Yuanzhou laughed contemptuously, "I thought he was some romantic, but it turns out he's also a playboy, just like his father."

Zhou Yu said: "What about the Ruan family..."

Fu Yuanzhou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Keep watching, they might be faking a breakup and deliberately deceiving me."

"Okay, Brother Zhou."

"Pay special attention to Ruan Chutang's whereabouts and report any movement to me immediately."

"Yes."

......

Chu Tang rested at home for two days, adjusted his condition, and returned to work as usual at the law firm.

The past two days have been calm and there have been no inexplicable accidents. She and her family are all fine.

Chu Tang curled her lips, feeling bitter in her heart. It seemed that breaking off the engagement had its benefits. At least that madman Fu Yuanzhou would not hurt her and her family anymore.

As he entered the law firm, his colleagues greeted Chu Tang one after another.

Chu Tang responded politely with a faint smile and walked into the office wearing black mid-heeled leather shoes.

The office has a dress code requirement, requiring professional attire and black leather shoes to go to work. Chu Tang wore a black suit today, with her long hair tied up and pinned behind her head. She used concealer to cover her dark circles, and retro red lipstick to enhance her complexion. She looked completely different today than she did two days ago. No one could tell that she had just experienced a breakup.

The supervisor assigned Chu Tang three new cases, and he quickly got down to work and analyzed the cases.

After the previous supervisor Yang Xiaojing resigned, the new supervisor Chen Lili took over.

Chen Lili was not instructed by anyone to target Ruan Chutang, and she had no personal grudge against Ruan Chutang, so Ruan Chutang's work went much more smoothly.

After work that day, Chu Tang worked overtime on his own and finished the work at hand. He turned off the lights and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a faint crying sound coming from outside.

She frowned slightly, closed the office door and went out to find out what was going on.

The crying sound came from the assistant's office area.

Legal assistants do not have separate offices. All assistants work in the office area, with partitions separating the desks.

Chu Tang walked closer and found that the person crying was none other than Yu Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you?" Chu Tang asked softly with concern, "What happened?"

Yu Jiaojiao took two tissues and wiped her tears carelessly, "Lawyer Ruan, I, I'm fine..."

Chu Tang pulled a chair from the desk next to him and sat down. "Why are you trying to be so stubborn? Talk to me. I'll see if I can help."

The girl's eyes were red. She was silent for a moment before she sobbed and said, "It's not a big deal. I..."

At this time, two colleagues passed by them. Yu Jiaojiao was afraid of being heard, so she quickly stopped talking.

Chu Tang immediately understood, "Is it inconvenient to tell me? Do you have any plans tonight? If not, how about we have dinner together?"

“No arrangements have been made yet.”

"Okay, clean up and let's go eat."

......

Chu Tang chose a barbecue restaurant based on Yu Jiaojiao's preferences.

The decoration of this store is very stylish, the lighting inside is dim, and it has a great atmosphere.

Yu Jiaojiao had heard of the name of this restaurant. It was a high-end barbecue restaurant, and it was said that the average cost per person was several thousand yuan.

The girl's face showed a trace of embarrassment. "Lawyer Ruan, isn't this place too expensive?"

Chu Tang smiled and said, "I'm treating you. What's our relationship? Don't be polite to me."

After experiencing a series of events with the siblings Liu Ming and Liu Yue, Chu Tang and Yu Jiaojiao's relationship became closer. Now they are not just ordinary colleagues, but friends.

Yu Jiaojiao was still a little embarrassed, "This...this is not good, right?"

"You're in a bad mood, so as your friend, I'm going to treat you to a nice meal to cheer you up. What's wrong with that?"

The little girl pursed her lips gently, and in her heart she appreciated Chu Tang's kindness. "Then I would like to thank Ruan Lu."

"Why are you calling me Ruan Lu after get off work? It's so formal. Just call me Tangtang, or Sister Chutang is fine too."

Yu Jiaojiao smiled, "Okay, Sister Chutang."

Chu Tang found a seat by the window and sat down. "The view here is great. You can enjoy the night view."

"Yeah." Yu Jiaojiao sat down opposite Chu Tang a little stiffly.

"Order whatever you like." Chu Tang handed the menu to Yu Jiaojiao.

Yu Jiaojiao waved her hand, "Sister Chutang, just order whatever you want. I'm fine with anything."

Understanding the girl's reserve, Chu Tang nodded, took back the menu and ordered a few classic signature grilled meats and some vegetables.

The raw meat comes out quickly, and you don't have to do it yourself, the waiter will grill it for you.

After the waiter grilled the meat and put it on the plate, Chu Tang politely said thank you and asked the waiter to leave.

"Tell me, what happened?" Chu Tang asked.

There were no outsiders here, and the atmosphere was right. Yu Jiaojiao opened up and said, "It's not a big deal. I was just scolded by Lawyer Gao today."

"Gao Qichen?"

"Ah."

Gao Qichen is Yu Jiaojiao's supervising lawyer. Chu Tang doesn't have much contact with her, but she has heard from colleagues privately that Gao Qichen has a polarized personality and is moody. When she is in a good mood, she is particularly gentle, but when she is in a bad mood, she likes to take her anger out on her assistant.

There was a boy who joined the firm on the same day as Yu Jiaojiao. After being scolded by Gao Qichen twice, he simply quit his job and said he would resign.

The boy had not passed the bar exam yet and applied for the position of paralegal. He did not need to intern at the law firm and could leave at any time, which was very free and easy. However, Yu Jiaojiao was different. She passed the bar exam and got her certificate in April this year. She had to intern for a full year before she could leave.

That means she won't be able to leave until April next year.

Chu Tang asked, "Why did she scold you?"

"There was a very difficult client in a divorce case. It was extremely difficult to communicate with her."

Yu Jiaojiao sighed, a look of worry on her face. "I asked her to provide evidence, but she ignored me. I called her, but she was uncooperative. Lawyer Gao blamed me for not being able to communicate. The client wasn't satisfied with the complaint I wrote and kept asking for compensation for emotional distress, demanding 300,000 yuan right away."

"The key is that her situation doesn't qualify for mental damages. Not only can she not claim for it, but asking for a high amount of 300,000 yuan would also increase her legal fees. I explained it to her, but she wouldn't listen and insisted I write it. I've never encountered this situation before, so I asked Lawyer Gao about it, and she called me stupid, long-winded, and unable to communicate."

"Later, Lawyer Gao personally called the client and communicated with her. Her explanation was exactly the same as what I had explained to her before. Lawyer Gao then wrote a complaint herself, but the client was still not satisfied and made many inexplicable demands."

"I had already told Lawyer Gao that the client was difficult to deal with, but she just didn't believe me and kept accusing me of not being able to communicate well. Then, she got annoyed with the client and took it out on me. She called me to her office and had a huge tantrum. I was so angry that I tried to explain myself, but she accused me of talking back to her and started scolding me again."

As she spoke, Yu Jiaojiao started crying again out of grievance.

Chu Tang took out a few tissues and handed them over. "Okay, okay, stop crying. How about you be my assistant? I'll talk to the supervisor."

Yu Jiaojiao suddenly looked up and asked, "Is this okay?"

"Of course, you're registered at the law firm, not under the name of Attorney Gao. It's the same as any supervising attorney."

Yu Jiaojiao smiled sincerely when she heard Chu Tang say this, "Thank you, Sister Chu Tang."

"Okay, stop crying and be happy."

"OK."

After they finished eating, Chu Tang stood up to pay the bill.

I had just taken two steps when a man and a woman came towards me.

"Ruan Chutang?" The man greeted Chutang with a smile in his peach blossom eyes.

Chu Tang looked over, his eyes flashing with confusion, "Who are you?"
