Chapter 1358 Two Classmates

The law firm is located on the seventeenth floor.

Pi Yangyang, Qiu Haitang and others came to the seventeenth floor, where renovation was being performed.

"Sister Qiu, do you think this is suitable? If you have any requests, you can tell Mr. Lan directly, and Mr. Lan will make the arrangements."

Pi Yangyang said after accompanying Qiu Haitang to look around.

"This is already pretty good! My law firm in Chu Nan doesn't have such a luxurious scale. It seems that the company's legal department can also be placed on this floor in the future."

Begonia said with great satisfaction.

"As long as you are satisfied. By the way, the accommodation for you and Miss Du has been arranged. For convenience, you will be on the same floor."

Pi Yangyang remembered something and said again.

Qiu Haitang asked in surprise: "Mr. Pi, you arranged a house for each of us?"

Pi Yangyang nodded and said, "Of course you should have your own private space, right?"

"No need. I'm single now, and Xiao Du is also single, so we can live together. This way, it will be convenient for us to discuss work after get off work. Moreover, our rent costs will be lower this way..."

Begonia shook her head and said.

"Rent?" Pi Yangyang was stunned and asked hesitantly.

"Of course we need to pay rent. We can't live here for free, right? My law firm has a preliminary plan of having no less than 20 people. Are you going to arrange housing for all of them?"

Begonia said as a matter of course.

"This... that's fine too..."

Pi Yangyang didn't force it, because he really hadn't thought about it that way, and he felt that what Qiu Haitang said made sense.

But he was a little curious in his heart.

Qiu Haitang is not young anymore, almost forty, but still single, which really surprised him.

A career woman like her, who is also a workaholic, may really have no time to fall in love or consider starting a family.

"Sister Qiu, excuse me, you are still single now. Is it because you are too busy with work and don't have time to think about it, or because you haven't met the right person yet?"

He still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Begonia's eyes flickered noticeably, and became somewhat deep.

"It's due to both reasons..."

After a moment, she spoke somewhat evasively.

Du Haiou on the side glanced at Qiu Haitang, but hesitated to speak.

Pi Yangyang naturally saw all of this.

He felt that Qiu Haitang seemed to have something in her heart that she was unwilling to say.

But this was her private matter, so he couldn't ask too much.

"The furniture will be ready here in two days. You can use these two days to have fun in Beijing... Once the law firm is open, you won't have time to have fun."

Pi Yangyang didn't ask any more questions, but said to them.

"No, let President Lan arrange a temporary office for us. Since the company has hired me as a full-time lawyer, I must sort out some rules and regulations of the legal department first. In addition, two of my classmates and several students have promised me to come to my newly opened law firm. Also, I have already publicly recruited, and someone will definitely come for an interview in the next two days..."

Begonia is still as busy as ever, as if it can't stay idle for a minute.

Pi Yangyang looked at Lan Bowen helplessly and asked, "Boss Lan, can you make the arrangements?"

"A temporary office space is not a big problem. We can use the small conference room No. 2 temporarily. In addition, the Sun's prescription you provided needs to be appraised and a shareholding agreement needs to be signed. This requires the help of Lawyer Qiu..."

Lan Bowen was not polite. He was thinking about putting the four prescriptions provided by Pi Yangyang into production as soon as possible.

The purpose of setting up a company is to make money. Now that you have the tool to make money in your hands, it would be a crime to delay it for even a day.

Pi Yangyang thought about it and said a little embarrassedly: "Of course, it's okay, but if that's the case, Sister Qiu will be too tired."

"It's okay. I'm afraid of having nothing to do. As long as there's something to do, there's no such thing as hard work."

Begonia said without hesitation.

Just then, Lan Bowen's cell phone rang.

"Boss Lan, two people came and said they were looking for Lawyer Qiu. They said they had an appointment with Lawyer Qiu... Please see..."

Xiaoying at the front desk asked.

"Oh, Lawyer Qiu is with me now, let me ask you something first..."

Lan Bowen answered, then looked at Qiu Haitang and asked, "Lawyer Qiu, someone is looking for you downstairs. They said they have an appointment with you..."

Qiu Haitang was surprised and said, "They are my two classmates, right? Why are they here so soon?"

Then, she hurried to the elevator.

"I'll go meet them."

She walked a few steps out, then turned around and said.

Du Haiou hurriedly followed.

Pi Yangyang and Lan Bowen looked at each other, smiled indifferently, and followed them downstairs.

On the first floor, a middle-aged man in his forties and a middle-aged woman were sitting in the lounge waiting.

The two men looked like workplace elites. They sat there, took the hot tea brought by the lobby staff, and nodded politely.

"Fang Cheng, you have done very well in Country U and have even become a shareholder of a large financial group on Wall Street. Why... are you returning to China and planning to work for Qiu Haitang's new law firm?"

The woman looked at the man with some curiosity and asked.

The man has a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and sharp features. He is not very handsome, but he has a manly fortitude.

He smiled, looked at the woman and said, "Xiaomei, aren't you married in Country E? Why are you back? If you leave, what will happen to your husband in Country E?"

"Sister Qiu called me, how could I not come back? When I was in college, she was my best friend! Moreover, we were bunk beds, and the whole school knew that we had a good relationship..."

Xiaomei's name is Mei Wanting. After graduating from university, she went to Country E for further studies.

As a result, she met her current husband Carl in Country E, fell in love with him, and stayed in Country E.

Carl is the young master of a large family in Country E. After getting married, he took over the family company and became a billionaire.

Mei Wanting has a daughter and a son, both of whom are studying in Country E. Logically, she should stay in Country E to help Carl.

But when she knew that Qiu Haitang was going to open a law firm on her own, she immediately discussed with Karl and said that she would go back to Huaxia to have a look. If Qiu Haitang needed help, she would consider staying in Huaxia.

Carl was a little reluctant at first, but when he thought about how his company had a lot of business in China and he often traveled to China on business, he didn't insist too much.

Fang Cheng is also their classmate, but he is one grade higher than them.

At that time, Qiu Haitang was the school beauty for four consecutive years in the School of Political Science and Law. Naturally, she had many suitors around her.

Fang Cheng is one of the many pursuers.

However, because Qiu Haitang came from a humble family and her entire family supported her to go to college, she cherished her study opportunity very much and devoted herself to studying, not considering marriage at all.

As a result, she became an ice beauty that no one could approach in the academy.

After Fang Cheng graduated, he once talked to Qiu Haitang and said that he wanted to take her to the United States for further studies and give her a new life.

But Qiu Haitang decisively refused. She chose to study in Country J and then return to China.

After Fang Cheng went to the United States, he obtained a doctorate degree and was spotted by a consortium, which hired him as a professional lawyer with an annual salary of one million dollars.

Later, through his own efforts, he obtained shares of the consortium and became a shareholder of the consortium.

In their circle of classmates, he and Mei Wanting were the most envied.

One is to marry into a wealthy family, and the other is to create a wealthy family of her own through her own efforts.

However, when these two people knew that Qiu Haitang was going to open a law firm, they came back at the same time.

"But you, you haven't let go of our beautiful Qiu yet, have you?"

Mei Wanting looked at Fang Cheng suspiciously and asked.

Fang Cheng smiled calmly and did not answer directly. Instead, he said calmly: "After wandering in the U country for so many years, I do miss my home country a little. I just happened to have such an opportunity, so I came back to take a look."

"Fang Cheng, you have never been married in Country U?"

Mei Wanting suddenly asked curiously.

"I was married once, but we broke up within a year." Fang Cheng answered naturally.

Mei Wanting couldn't help but be stunned, "Why?"

"It was probably because of our personalities. After all, we didn't receive the same education, and there were huge differences in culture and lifestyle. I didn't like her free-spiritedness, and she didn't like my rigidity and stubbornness, so we broke up very amicably."

The equation seemed to be telling someone else's story, without any waves.

Mei Wanting shook her head and couldn't help but chuckle, "You are stubborn, and it's true. You were famous for being stubborn in school back then."

Just then, Begonia came over.

"Xiaomei, Fang Cheng, what a coincidence, how come you came back together?"

Fang Cheng stood up, smiled and said, "What a coincidence, we met at the airport..."
