It’s time to board the ship...
The moment these words fell.
The people in the lounge stopped speaking, and several showed smiles on their faces, their eyes filled with anticipation, feeling dry and thirsty.
"President Hu, is it now?" Zhao Feng stood up and quickly asked.
"That’s right, the ship has docked, now is just the right time to go."
Hu Wei nodded, not saying much more.
"The car responsible for transportation has been arranged, please wait in the waiting hall for a few minutes."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone became excited, immediately stood up, and took their personal belongings with them, whether it be their wives, daughters, or adopted girls.
A few people walked out in order.
As they exited, they arrived in the waiting hall and happened to see a figure standing up.
In the reception area.
Xu Liang slowly stood up at this time, he slightly adjusted his suit jacket.
Upon hearing footsteps behind him, he turned slightly to glance back.
It was just that quick glance.
He happened to make eye contact with the people walking out of the lounge.
The moment they saw him, everyone, including Zhao Feng and Wang Fuhao...
They hesitated slightly, their minds comparing this young and familiar face to the recent news...
"Xu Liang!?"
Zhao Feng from Stone Peak Bank suddenly exclaimed, his pupils contracted abruptly, cold sweat broke out on his back, instinctively wanting to run away.
Earlier he had seen this person through the glass and thought he looked familiar, originally assuming it was some acquaintance, but now looking at him...
This is no acquaintance.
This is clearly the Grim Reaper!!!
Upon hearing his exclamation, the few nearby people’s expressions changed collectively, struggling to control their desire to escape.
Though the instinct to run was suppressed, cold sweat still dripped from their foreheads, and their brains racked for thoughts.
’Why is he here!?’
’Damn it, who provoked this calamity...’
’Oh no, are we exposed... could he know about the Cross Ferry issue...’
’How does Hu Wei manage things!’
’...’
Several people cursed inwardly.
Man’s fate, trees’ shadows.
Even though Xu Liang has not formally taken root in Upper City, everyone has already heard of his reputation.
What reputation?
Put it this way.
Firstly, once a good lawyer becomes famous, he will never lack money, nor contracts, because countless companies and tycoons will wave cash wanting him to handle things!
But Xu Liang doesn’t have this, even though he monopolized the headlines for nearly a year, few companies sought cooperation with him.
There was no choice.
This person’s positive reputation was too strong!
Big companies paying money could hardly be entirely clean, asking Xu Liang to handle things is like walking into their own grave?!
Zhao Feng and Wang Hao even dared not contact him, fearing that even a glance would lead Xu Liang to persistently hassle them like a badger...
They have hidden to this extent.
Yet an hour before boarding Cross Ferry, they still encountered him!?
This....
Everyone’s face was extremely ugly, as if they swallowed pounds of greenhead flies, their breathing a bit labored, yet also daring not to run.
However, those they brought.
Like Su Yao next to Xu Liang, didn’t notice anything wrong with the atmosphere.
"Heh."
Xu Liang glanced at them quickly, without any emotion, then retracted his gaze and continued adjusting his clothing.
Until...
"The car is here, the car is here."
Hu Wei’s figure suddenly appeared from outside, his face still wore that perennially smiling expression.
And as soon as his voice sounded.
Zhao Feng and the others immediately turned their gaze to him, their eyes unfriendly.
Hu Wei paused, then glanced at Xu Liang, gaining some understanding of what had happened on the scene.
"Haha, let me introduce."
Hu Wei laughed to smooth things over, speaking to ease the situation, he extended his hand respectfully pointing at Xu Liang.
"This is the renowned Xu Liang, Lawyer Xu."
"I believe you all have heard of him, a young prodigy, yet standing at the top of the profession, truly a dragon among men."
"Chairman Zhao, no need to worry, Lawyer Xu is also here to board the ship and join the Cross Group."
"Perhaps later you might find some common topics."
Also boarding?
Zhao Feng and the others paused, finally sighing in relief, showing gentle smiles on their faces.
They did not doubt the truth of these words, even though it doesn’t match the reputation of the other party.
But the problem is... they have seen such incidents far too many times.
They themselves were examples!
Zhao Feng, who brought a girl, has a glorious image on the outside.
Hu Wei is hailed as a charitable ambassador.
Of course.
Su Yao and the others didn’t feel anything, at this time her mind was entirely on boarding, participating in the ’Eastern Western banquet’ Hu Wei had mentioned to her.
She saw the car parked outside, immediately suppressing her internal discomfort, linked arms with Xu Liang.
Then, Su Yao showed a polite smile on her face, hurriedly said:
"The car is here, why not get in first?"
Zhao Feng originally wanted to chat with Xu Liang, but upon hearing these words, his brow furrowed, his gaze landed on her.
’Who is this? Is she even entitled to speak?’
He dared not ask, but thought maybe she is Xu Liang’s friend, so he held back and immediately agreed:
"That’s right, let’s get in the car first, don’t keep the Group waiting too long."
"I agree."
"Okay."
Everyone unanimously agreed.
Immediately, they walked out harboring their individual motives.
"Squeak~"
The hall door was pushed open, several business cars were neatly parked outside.
The light-dressed Su Yao’s eyes lit up, her heart thumping uncontrollably, her mind instantly calculating the price of these cars.
"Please get in the cars." Hu Wei said with a smile.
Upon hearing this.
Xu Liang nodded, internally calm, casually choosing a car, however...
Hu Wei noticed until he reached the car, the door was still closed, unconsciously glanced at Su Yao beside him.
