After the scumbag Bai Yueguang returned to China, the rich daughter stopped pretending

There are many high-end Chinese restaurants around Shengke Law Firm.

Except for the top VIP box, all other boxes were filled with people from Shengke Law Firm.

In the box where Ruan Chutang was sitting.

"Lawyer Ruan, you're so generous! Your every move is enough to fill the house with good fortune." A young female lawyer said with a smile, "The last time I came here was last year when the big boss treated me to the law firm's annual meeting."

Yang Xiaojing smiled and joked, "Lawyer Ruan is young and promising. It seems he's made a lot of money over the years. Our law firm has over a hundred people across several departments. Lawyer Ruan is going to make a lot of money tonight."

Zhang Tianxin replied with a smile, "Lawyer Ruan is so capable."

A young woman said sarcastically, "Hey, Lawyer Ruan, is this even possible? The average cost per person at Xiang Man Lou is two to three hundred yuan, and with the drinks, this meal tonight will probably cost you three months' salary. If this doesn't work, let's go somewhere else. Stop trying to be so conceited."

The woman was a lawyer in the litigation department. Chu Tang remembered her name, Chen Yangyang.

Chu Tang thought Chen Yangyang looked mean the first time she saw her on her first day at work. It seems her first impression was right. Chen Yangyang is indeed difficult to get along with.

Chu Tang smiled and said, "It's okay, I can afford it."

Chen Yangyang continued in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, it seems Director Yang is right. Lawyer Ruan has made a lot of money in recent years. If you have any ways to make money, please share them with everyone."

Chu Tang replied calmly, "What can I do? We're all lawyers, so we all know this. Bigger cases mean more money, smaller ones mean less. Besides, I don't make as much as you, Lawyer Chen. I've been working for three years and still haven't bought a car. I heard you bought a house in Jiangcheng."

She was telling the truth.

The little money she earned from working was indeed not enough to buy a decent car.

But she doesn't need to save money to buy a car.

The Porsche 911 and Rolls-Royce Phantom that Ruan Shaodong bought for her are still gathering dust in the garage of the Ruan family's old house, and she hasn't driven the Maserati that her cousin Su Yu gave her for a long time.

She has been driving the glacier blue Bentley Continental that Jiang Shixu gave her recently.

Of course, Chen Yangyang didn't know Chu Tang's family background.

She only took the surface meaning and thought Ruan Chutang really didn't have money to buy a car or a house.

Chen Yangyang seemed to benefit greatly from Chu Tang's words.

She looked at Ruan Chutang with contempt.

He has no money but still tries to pretend to be rich to please his colleagues in the law firm. How vain.

That's how this little episode ended.

Ruan Chutang smiled and said, "Let's order. Everyone, take a look and order whatever you want."

"Then I won't be polite." Chen Yangyang picked up the menu, paused, and handed it to the supervisor, "Manager Yang, you order first."

She is very shrewd when it comes to social skills.

This private room is occupied by colleagues from the litigation department. Based on the principle of "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", there is only one leader in each room, and the person with the highest status in this room is the supervisor Yang Xiaojing.

Yang Xiaojing took the menu and thought of Xu Jingxuan's words about taking good care of Ruan Chutang. She didn't hesitate and pointed at a few items on the menu. "This, this, and this."

The waiter stood by and wrote down the names of the dishes.

Yang Xiaojing ordered three of the most expensive signature dishes.

These three dishes alone cost over a thousand.

After ordering the dishes, Yang Xiaojing handed the menu back to Chen Yangyang.

Chen Yangyang also picked two expensive dishes.

Yu Jiaojiao, the new intern lawyer, sat next to Ruan Chutang, looking embarrassed. Blushing, she gently tugged at Ruan Chutang's sleeve and whispered, "Lawyer Ruan, I... the prices here are too high. I can't afford it."

She thought that today's meal was a treat for everyone by her and Ruan Chutang.

She panicked as soon as she came in and saw the menu.

After this meal, all her work for the whole year was wasted.

The little girl was almost crying.

Ruan Chutang gently patted the back of Yu Jiaojiao's hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I'll treat you to this meal, you don't need to A."

"Really?" Yu Jiaojiao blushed. "Then... then thank you, Ruan Lu."

After ordering the dishes, the ten people in their private room ordered more than 5,000 yuan worth of dishes and more than 3,000 yuan worth of drinks.

Chu Tang curled her lips slightly when she saw the receipt.

This is not based on per capita consumption at all. It's clear that they are treating her as a sucker and charging whatever is more expensive.

But now Ruan Shaodong has restored her bank card, so this amount of money is nothing to her.

Just think of it as paying a favor.

Halfway through the meal, Ruan Chutang got up to go to the bathroom.

Chen Yangyang started jokingly again, "Lawyer Ruan, where are you going? Are you running away because you can't afford it? Hahahaha."

Ruan Chutang had no expression on her face and said calmly, "I'm going to the bathroom. What's the matter? Chen Lu is so worried about me? Do you want to come with me?"

"How could that be? I was just joking. If you take it seriously, it's your fault." Chen Yangyang said slowly.

Chu Tang ignored her, opened the door of the box and went out.

When Chu Tang passed by the elevator on the way to the bathroom, he turned around and met a pair of familiar eyes.

Jiang Shixu asked in surprise: "Tangtang? Why are you here?"

He was surrounded by several elite men in suits and ties.

The private room where Chutang was having dinner was on the first floor. Judging from Jiang Shixu's appearance, he should have just finished his meal.

As he spoke, Jiang Shixu took a few steps forward.

Chu Tang smiled and said, "Brother Shixu, what a coincidence! I'm treating my colleagues to dinner here today."

Jiang Shixu knew that Ruan Chutang had joined Shengke Law Firm.

He nodded slightly, his expression gentle, and asked her, "Are you used to your first day at work?"

"Well, it's all good."

Chu Tang did not tell anyone that Chen Yangyang and several of his colleagues had taken advantage of her.

Jiang Shixu asked again, "Is the dinner party about to end? I'll take you home."

Chu Tang shook his head, "It's still early, you should go back first."

"Okay then." Jiang Shixu thought of something and added, "This place is quite far from your home. Have you contacted your family driver to pick you up?"

"No, I'll go back to the nearby apartment in a bit."

"Okay, stay safe."

"Uh-huh."

Chu Tang said goodbye to Jiang Shixu and returned to the box.

After dinner, Ruan Chutang went to the front desk to pay the bill.

The clerk told her that someone had already paid.

Who else could it be besides Jiang Shixu?

She took out her cell phone and sent a message to Jiang Shixu.

【Thank you, Brother Shixu.】

Jiang Shixu replied to her quickly.

【You don’t need to say thank you to me.】

[Tangtang, are you done with that? I'll be waiting for you in the open-air parking lot on the left. I'm still worried about you going home alone so late at night.]

Chu Tang felt warm in his heart when he saw this message.

[It's almost over. I'll come find you later.]

After sending the message, colleagues all came out of the box.

Several male colleagues were drunk, so Chutang called a taxi for them.

Chen Yangyang came by car and did not drink.

She got into her Honda Civic, rolled down the window, and smiled at Ruan Chutang with a rather smug expression. "Lawyer Ruan, I'll be leaving now. You can take a taxi back by yourself. Bye."

Chu Tang smiled good-naturedly, "Bye."

Most people had left, leaving only Yu Jiaojiao.

Chu Tang asked her, "Where do you live? Let me call a taxi for you."

The girl quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I rented a house nearby. I can just walk back."

Chu Tang was a little worried, after all, Jiaojiao was a girl.

"Can you do it alone?"

"Yes, there are stalls all along the road at this time. It's very safe. It's not far away, only about 700 to 800 meters. Don't worry."

Chu Tang said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

Yu Jiaojiao walked for a while, then suddenly turned around and trotted to Chu Tang.

"Ruan Lu, thank you so much for today." The girl seemed a little shy. "You're really nice. I heard you don't have an assistant right now. If you need me for anything, just let me know. I can do paperwork or organize materials."

Chu Tang smiled and said, "Okay."

After Yu Jiaojiao left, Ruan Chutang went to the parking lot to find Jiang Shixu.

After getting in the car, Chutang gave an address.

Very close, just a few minutes' drive.

Jiang Shixu sent her to the gate of the community.

Chu Tang said, "I plan to live here from now on. It's convenient for work."

Jiang Shixu nodded, "Okay, I will come to see you often."

"Okay, I'll be going upstairs then. Bye."

Chu Tang was about to get off the car.

The phone rang.

She took out her cell phone and took a look at it, frowning.

[Ruan Chutang, I'm in Jiangcheng now. Want to meet me?]
