After he finished speaking, he ignored Judge Zhao’s pained expression and walked away.
At Zhenyuan Law Firm, An Lan was discussing a case with a client in the reception room.
Li Yuchen was lighting incense and offering fruits to the God of Wealth.
Yan Wen and the other new interns were chatting with another female lawyer of the law firm, Ma Shuanghua, about the trendiest entertainment gossips.
While everyone was tirelessly sharing the gossip, Yang Yuandong, an intern lawyer, suddenly gasped. “Oh my God, are my eyes playing tricks on me? Who did I see…”
Yang Yundong patted his colleagues around him on the shoulders.
“Who did you see? Is Ji Nuanyi in our law firm?” Yan Wen turned her head and saw a tall and lean figure walking in. His eyes were sharp, his expression was stern, and he was wearing a black jacket over a white shirt and a pair of dark brown casual pants. He walked in with an imposing aura.
Everyone’s minds went blank in horror.
Yan Wen stuttered, “I seem to see Chief Judge Xu in our law firm?”
“You are right.” Ma Shuanghua’s forehead was drenched in cold sweat. In the first half of the year, she had bumped into Xu Baohan a few times in court and she was still afraid to see him.
What was this big shot doing here?
Oh right, the rumors said that he was having an affair with An Lan.
Ma Shuanghua, as the most senior lawyer in this group, had no choice but to buck up and force out a smile. “Chief Judge Xu, what brings you here?”
Xu Baohan pursed his thin lips as he looked around the law firm. The office was quite big, clean and tidy, and neatly divided into sections. There was also a faint fragrance in the air, which smelled a little like the scent from An Lan’s body.
He glanced at the sandalwood incense at the door and instantly understood.
The law firm seemed to have ten plus employees. The oldest one was a woman her forties. The rest were even younger. The women wore exquisite makeup, the men wore suits. Looking at them, he wondered these people were lawyers or models.
He frowned.
No wonder this law firm lost cases. To be a lawyer, one must have some abilities.
And the man wearing a sweater was even holding incense and worshipping God in the furthest corner of the office.
Could God help him win cases in court?
The people in the office felt that his gaze was like a radar, scanning their insides.
Ma Shuanghua, who was standing in front of him, was trembling in fear. She was screaming silently, ‘Lawyer Li, why are you still worshipping God? Come and meet the big shot.’
“I’m here to see An Lan,” Xu Baohan finally spoke, his voice calm. “I’ve asked her out for dinner.”
“I see.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up, admiring their their big sister Lawyer An for daring to have dinner with such a devil.
“Lawyer An is discussing a case with a client,” Yan Wen said hurriedly. “Do you want me to show you to her office? You can wait in there.”
“There’s no need. I’ve never come here before. I’d like to look around,” Xu Baohan said calmly.
“Alright.” Ma Shuanghua braced herself and shouted at Li Yuchen, “Lawyer Li, Chief Judge Xu is here. Stop praying.”
Li Yuchen’s hand that was holding the incense trembled and he turned to look at Xu Baohan who was standing behind him. He froze.
A few seconds later, he strode forward with a smile on his face, “Chief Judge Xu, it’s such an honor to have you come to our law firm. I am Li Yuchen, one of the law partners here.”
