Chapter 157: Appointment & Stop by

Qiu Yihui was taken away while being sent to the hospital, and later Mu Lin suddenly died. On the surface, these two events seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they are equally incredible.

It was hard for Jiang Wan not to connect the two things together, especially the latter, which made it impossible for her not to care.

In her opinion, there was basically no possibility that Mu Lin would commit suicide, so there was obviously something fishy going on.

After the message was sent, the other party quickly confirmed with her whether he would pick her up directly downstairs of her house.

Jiang Wan hesitated for a moment, but still sent the address and location of Shaw Group to Shen Yan.

This address was obviously beyond Shen Yan's expectations. The top of the dialog box showed "input in progress" several times before a message was finally sent.

[Do you have any business at Shaw Brothers? ]

Jiang Wan's eyebrows moved slightly, but she didn't hide it deliberately, and replied: [Ayan, I am working at Shaw Brothers now. ]

Shaw Brothers?

Shen Yan's eyes suddenly paused. He really hadn't thought of this as the answer.

He remembered that he had asked Jiang Wan if he was interested, he could consider coming to Zhihe.

The girl politely declined at that time.

But Shen Yan still didn't expect that she would suddenly join Shaw Brothers.

Like Shaw Group and Junjian Capital... they are not easy companies to enter.

Even from Kyoto University, probably only the most outstanding graduates with letters of recommendation from the college can participate in the interviews of these two companies every year.

Jiang Wan hasn't even enrolled in school yet, so logically speaking, he doesn't meet the requirements to enter Shaw Brothers.

Shen Yan quickly realized that something was wrong, but without any basis, he did not directly associate it with Shao Ting.

Of course he wanted to ask Jiang Wan directly how he came to work at Shaw Brothers, but after a long silence, he finally did not ask.

It took Jiang Wan several minutes to receive Shen Yan's reply.

Shen Yan: [Got it. I will pick you up downstairs of your company ten minutes in advance. You can come down directly after get off work.]

Jiang Wan lowered his eyes slightly, replied OK and put down his phone.

Unexpectedly, at around five o'clock in the afternoon, the company's front desk suddenly called.

Jiang Wan directly pressed the answer button, and as soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard the voice of Xu Anran, with whom he had briefly dealt with before.

The other person's voice was brisk, with a hint of smile in it.

"Secretary Jiang, do you still remember me?"

Jiang Wan's eyebrows curved slightly: "Of course I remember, what's the matter, An Ran?"

Xu Anran chuckled.

"I haven't seen you on the 31st floor recently, and I haven't had the chance to share the good news with you. The application report I submitted for transfer to the Personnel Administration Department has been approved."

Jiang Wan had always admired Xu Anran, so she was naturally happy for her when she heard the news.

"Congratulations, An Ran. I've been eating in the office lately and haven't been to the staff cafeteria."

Xu Anran didn't delve into it, and just said gently: "Actually, the main reason I called you was because of work."

"A partner of our company is looking for you. He is waiting in the reception room on the 30th floor. I thought I would not be at the front desk anymore. When I heard it was for you, I asked our supervisor to let me call you."

Partner?

Jiang Wan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked Xu Anran about the other person's identity.

Xu Anran smiled and said, "The other party said that you will know when you arrive. It happens that it is almost time to get off work, so you can come down and take a look."

Of course, Xu Anran said this only after confirming the other party's identity. Although Jiang Wan felt confused, he did not continue to ask. After hanging up the phone, he took the elevator downstairs.

But when he reached the door of the reception room and saw the other person's figure, Jiang Wan suddenly stopped and showed surprise for the first time.

"Brother Xu?"

Who else could the man sitting on the sofa with particularly deep eyebrows and a strong sense of distance be other than Jiang Xu?

Jiang Xu seemed to bend his lower lip slightly.

"You didn't expect it to be me?"

Jiang Wan nodded and sat down on the sofa chair opposite him.

"I heard from our front desk that it was our company's partner who was looking for me, but Brother Xu, you are not..."

She paused in the middle of her sentence, finally remembering something.

"I forgot. Although our company has a team of lawyers, we do ask other law firms to cooperate in certain projects to advance them."

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Xu, you didn't deliberately not tell me last time, did you?"

Jiang Xu's eyes fell on her quietly, without answering immediately.

He had actually previously intentionally avoided cooperating with companies with overly complicated backgrounds, such as Shaw Brothers and Jun Jian.

But as long as he is willing, it would be almost effortless with the qualifications of the law firm.

Looking at the girl's dark and clear eyes, his throat rolled slightly, and he changed the subject calmly.

"It's actually the same if I tell you now, but I didn't expect the meeting to last this late. If it was any later, you would probably have already left work."

Jiang Wan's eyes paused for a moment, then he remembered what this moment meant.

As expected, a man's deep voice soon came to my ears.

"Wanwan, let me take you home. I just heard that there's a nice restaurant that just opened near Beijing University. Let's go try it together?"

Jiang Xu's residence was originally near Zhong Rongfu, which happened to be on the way from the company to Zhanjiang where Jiang Xu was, so it was reasonable for the man to offer to take her home.

But she had just agreed to have dinner with Shen Yan, so it would be difficult to break the promise at the last minute.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wan pursed his lips, his eyes apologetic: "I'm sorry, Brother Xu, if I could take your ride home normally, I would be so happy that I would definitely agree directly."

"But I do have an appointment tonight, which was just scheduled an hour ago."

Have a date?

Jiang Xu's eyes suddenly deepened. Although he couldn't help but think of something, he still didn't have the heart to embarrass her.

"It's okay. We can go next time when you're free."

He raised his hand to check the time, and asked her in a low voice, "You're off work, so we can't have dinner together. So, why don't you take me downstairs?"

Jiang Wan was amused by this sentence.

"this is necessary."

She stood up with her bag and smiled, "Let's go, Lawyer Jiang."
