Chapter 779: Chapter 302: Visit, Intoxication, Interlude_2
"...Hahaha, Lawyer Qi, I’ve heard so much about you!"
As Jiang Qingkui walked closer, she saw Zhou Wang laughing heartily, constantly shaking hands with a beautiful woman in a professional dress, with mid-length hair, a charming figure, but distinctly reserved features.
The woman also wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, her full forehead and fair complexion making her appear particularly youthful, but Jiang Qingkui knew the woman was at least in her thirties, as the depth and experience in her eyes were undeniable.
"Come, Qingkui, let me introduce you."
Zhou Wang smiled and said, "This is Ms. Qi Jiayi, a senior partner and prominent lawyer at Yunshangyun Law Firm’s Beidou Office, and behind her is her assistant team... Lawyer Qi, this is my secretary, Jiang Qingkui."
"Hello, Miss Jiang."
Qi Jiayi smiled as she shook hands with Jiang Qingkui. While exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Qingkui felt increasingly puzzled.
She vaguely knew that Zhou Wang had some kind of long-term cooperation with the nationally renowned law firm Yunshangyun. After all, whenever Zhou Wang needed legal services, he always turned to this law firm, and when Xu Wenqian needed help in the Magic City for the charity fund procedures, they also enlisted this law firm for assistance.
But what was Zhou Wang doing, bringing a lawyer from Yunshangyun to Douyin Group?
Jiang Qingkui hoped Zhou Wang would at least give her a hint, otherwise she would appear to be a clueless secretary...
However, what annoyed Jiang Qingkui was that when she tried to give Zhou Wang a hint, he didn’t even glance at her, just staring blankly at Qi Jiayi.
Jiang Qingkui gritted her teeth...
I admit she’s very attractive and classy, but do you have to be so obviously out of it?
In fact, she really misunderstood Zhou Wang.
The reason Zhou Wang was in a daze was simply because Qi Jiayi’s demeanor and looks, along with those gold-rimmed glasses, suddenly reminded him of another woman.
A woman he met once at a high school reunion, the doctoral doctor Zhong Huilan from Jiahui Hospital in the Magic City, also wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
The two shared some similar features, if not for their different surnames, Zhou Wang would have wanted to ask if they were sisters.
Of course, being accustomed to seeing beautiful women, Zhou Wang’s self-control had improved; he quickly withdrew his gaze from Qi Jiayi, started moving forward, and asked:
"Lawyer Qi, is today’s procedure complex? What do I need to do?"
"Mr. Zhou, if it doesn’t bother you, just call me Jiayi."
Qi Jiayi gracefully tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled, "Most of the documents and contracts have already been signed on your behalf by me, including the most important shareholding agreement, so today’s procedure is quite straightforward. You just need to meet the board members and sign some internal documents to ensure the shareholder register is updated..."
While Qi Jiayi explained, Jiang Qingkui, listening intently nearby, was already left with her red lips slightly open, utterly bewildered.
What did she just hear?
Shareholding agreement? Shareholder register?
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
Jiang Qingkui promptly stopped her steps and looked up at the building in front of her, seeing the note logo and the large characters "Douyin" clearly visible at the top.
Jiang Qingkui just felt her head buzzing with numerous questions she wanted to ask Zhou Wang, the biggest being...
Mr. Zhou, did we come to the wrong place?
After all, while this was indeed one of Douyin Group’s buildings, there were also Shanhuo Engine, Guaxi Video, and others nearby, making it hard to say exactly which company Zhou Wang and Qi Jiayi were discussing.
Before Jiang Qingkui could sort out her tangled thoughts, the group had already reached the entrance of the building, where another group of people was coming to greet them in the lobby.
"Mr. Zhou, we meet again."
"Director Jin, how could you personally come to the first floor to greet us, this is too grand..."
Zhou Wang laughed heartily, stepping forward to shake hands with the leading woman.
Although Zhou Wang and Jin Lu had briefly met at the Peninsula·Furongli Restaurant that night, they weren’t actually familiar, having not spoken to each other. However, Zhou Wang had already had a phone call with her the previous day, granting them some prior acquaintance; thus, they weren’t too unfamiliar now.
"Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you. This is the board secretary Zhang Xuan, and this is your old acquaintance, Mr. Qi Lingtong. I suppose no further introduction is needed..."
Politely greeting Zhang Xuan and turning to Qi Lingtong, seeing his puzzled expression, Zhou Wang found it quite amusing.
"Old Qi, what’s up with this? Don’t you recognize me?"
Zhou Wang was truly grateful to Qi Lingtong, because, without that little "Izzy’s Treasure Map" exchange in Hang City, he wouldn’t be here today.
Of course, from Qi Lingtong’s perspective, it was hard to understand why Zhou Wang was appearing here.
It wasn’t that Zhou Wang lacked the credentials to visit Douyin Group, but how could Zhou Wang have Jin Lu and Zhang Xuan greet him together?
"It’s not that, Mr. Zhou, you... I..."
Seeing Qi Lingtong was almost flustered, Jin Lu decided not to tease him further and revealed the answer at the appropriate moment.
"Mr. Zhou, today is your first visit to the company as a shareholder. The time was short, and we didn’t prepare anything too extravagant. If there’s anything that doesn’t meet your expectations, we hope you’ll be understanding."
Jin Lu wouldn’t explain anything to Qi Lingtong at this point; she only faced Zhou Wang, smiling as she spoke.
