Xiaomeng was surprised, "Brother, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Have you eaten?"

"I was on a business trip in the UK next door. I finished my work and just stopped by for dinner. What are you doing here?" Attorney Lang loosened his buttons and sat down in the chair his assistant had pulled over. The assistant tactfully placed the chair next to Cui Ling, making Xiao Meng move aside for him.

Xiaomeng said, "I was competing in France today. I finished my competition this morning and came over here."

"Did you come by plane? Where's your horse?" Attorney Lang asked casually.

"No, it's not that far. I brought a driver and rented a car to take the highway back. The horses are with a shipping company; they'll be flown back to the horse farm in Hong Kong tonight." Xiaomeng thought the geographical location of the Windmill Country was really quite wonderful, being very close to several developed countries and connected by highways. Although it's called going abroad, it's actually more convenient than crossing provincial borders within China.

The waiter brought new cutlery for Attorney Lang and his assistant. Downstairs, the chef, having received Cui Ling's order, added oyster sauce bok choy to the table.

Attorney Lang ate a bowl of white rice and only ate the dish of freshly stir-fried bok choy. Xiao Meng asked him if he wanted any other dishes. Attorney Lang replied, "This dish of vegetables is enough for me."

"Seriously? Can't you find a single restaurant in the UK that sells bok choy? Why would we need to come all the way back to eat it?"

"Yes, but very few, and they're expensive. So I'd rather come back to eat here."

"How expensive can stir-fried bok choy be? I don't believe it."

"20 euros a plate, and the portion is even smaller than this. I'm asking you, would you like to eat it?"

"20 euros? Really? Are the prices over there really that outrageous?"

“20 euros is an understatement. Bok choy is a rare vegetable here; you might not even be able to find it if you want to.” Lawyer Lang shook his head helplessly. “So when I was studying here, it was more like dieting than dieting.”

Seeing how pitiful he sounded, Cuiling felt sorry for him and quickly put some food on his plate.

After dinner, knowing that the group was working on a group project, Attorney Lang became interested. He looked at what they had written, offered some suggestions for improvement, and essentially helped them patch things up.

Lin Cuiling was very impressed with him. "Lawyer Lang, I didn't expect you to be so good at business. I thought you were only good at law."

Attorney Lang appeared very humble, wearing the smiling mask of a business elite, "Because my main practice is in commercial disputes, I have seen all the cases in your work, and I have seen how people effectively solve problems in real-world operations."

"My God, I didn't know being a lawyer required such versatility."

"Not every lawyer can achieve this level; it also depends on an individual's overall abilities."

Generally speaking, lawyers in the same law firm may have different areas of expertise.

Some people excel at divorce cases, some at mediating civil cases, and some at criminal cases; everyone has a different area of ​​expertise.

Watching Attorney Lang and Lin Cuiling chat so enthusiastically, Xiaomeng felt inexplicably uneasy. She sensed that Attorney Lang seemed quite different abroad than he had back home. He was getting a little too close to her older sister; when had they become so intimate?

But then I thought about it again, we are all Chinese and living abroad, so it's probably normal for us to stick together for warmth.

Cuiling and her classmates corrected the assignments and sent them to the teacher's email address via the internet.

After finishing their homework, it was getting late, and some students tactfully said goodbye and left. However, one or two girls lingered, reluctant to leave.

Xiaomeng saw them crowding around Attorney Lang and his assistant with great enthusiasm, asking all sorts of questions, almost practically sticking to them.

Xiaomeng was very surprised. Wasn't it said that Western women weren't interested in Eastern men? Why were these Western women so eager to please Attorney Lang? Did his haute couture suit really make him stand out?

Xiaomeng was still young and naive. She didn't know that some people's pursuit of the wealthy transcends skin color and nationality.
