Chapter 901 It’s a Rare Thing
Teng Zijing took Yu Fei out of Fengteng International Building. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling.
He raised his hand to loosen his tie, walked straight to the Maserati parked on the side of the road, unlocked it with a "click", opened the door and got in.
Although Yu Fei was reluctant, he knew that the only way to find out what was going on with Antai Technology was to follow Teng Zijing. He opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.
The engine let out a low roar, and the Maserati merged into the traffic like a silver arrow, and soon stopped steadily downstairs of Zidong International Law Firm.
The building is made of glass curtain walls, reflecting a cool luster under the sunlight. The building is towering into the clouds.
The bronze sculpture at the entrance exudes solemnity and dignity, and you can tell at a glance that it is the style of a top law firm in the industry.
Yu Fei pushed the door and got out of the car. He looked up at the majestic building with a frown on his face.
He turned his head and glanced at Teng Zijing, his tone full of vigilance: "Why did you bring me here?"
Teng Zijing locked the car, glanced at him, and sneered unhappily, "I'm not wrong to call you a pig-brained person."
"You..." Yu Fei was choked and speechless, his cheeks flushed red, but seeing Teng Zijing striding into the hall with his long legs, he could only grit his teeth, and followed him in angrily.
The lobby of the law firm is decorated in a simple and elegant style, with a light grey marble floor that is mirror-clear.
The background wall behind the front desk is a whole wall of law book display racks, exuding professionalism and solemnity.
The receptionist was wearing a well-tailored business suit and had delicate makeup on. When she saw Teng Zijing coming in,
He immediately stood up, a perfectly professional smile on his face: "Hello, Mr. Jing, how can I help you?"
"Is Lawyer Gu Qinming here?" Teng Zijing asked in a flat tone, his eyes sweeping across the hall with the composure of someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
"Lawyer Gu is here, but he's currently hosting a legal seminar on a cross-border merger and acquisition case."
The receptionist explained in a steady voice, picking up the intercom. "Mr. Jing, the president of Fengteng International Group, is visiting. Please notify Lawyer Gu immediately."
The person on the other end of the phone was brief and to the point. The receptionist nodded slightly and then hung up.
He said politely, "Mr. Jing, please take a seat this way. Lawyer Gu has been notified of your visit. Please wait a moment."
Teng Zijing nodded and turned to walk towards the reception area. There were several groups of Italian leather sofas.
The floor lamp next to it emits warm yellow light, and the green plants in the corner are meticulously trimmed.
He sat down leisurely, his long legs crossed, his posture lazy but with his own aura.
Yu Fei followed and saw Teng Zijing's demeanor, which was completely different from his usual decisive and vigorous demeanor.
She looked him up and down as if he were a stranger, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips: "Did the sun rise from the west?
It's so rare to see Jingye actually have the patience to wait for someone."
Teng Zijing ignored him, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, and lit the lighter with a "clang". He lowered his head to light it, took a deep breath, and the smoke swirled around his fingertips.
"Do you think everyone is like you?" He blew out a smoke ring and glanced at Yu Fei with a cold look.
"Like a headless fly, running around aimlessly?"
After saying that, he took another slow puff, and the rich aroma of the cigarette spread freely in the air.
Not long after, the receptionist came over with two cups of freshly brewed coffee.
The cup was gently placed on the coffee table in front of the two of them, and fine water droplets condensed on the wall of the cup.
"Mr. Jing, please enjoy your coffee. Lawyer Gu has already been informed of your arrival.
Said the meeting was almost over and he would be down to meet with you in a few minutes."
Teng Zijing nodded slightly, and the receptionist retreated quietly in her high heels.
Yu Fei had just run all the way from the airport to Fengteng and made a fuss for quite some time, so he was already thirsty.
When he saw the coffee brought by the receptionist, his eyes lit up immediately and he picked up the cup without thinking.
He tilted his head back and gulped down the coffee in one gulp, not even leaving the coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup.
Teng Zijing looked at him wolfing down his food, frowning with disdain on his face.
"Please pay attention to your image in public, okay? This is Zidong International Law Firm.
The people coming and going are all important figures, not just your backyard."
"I'm just an ordinary person, why should I be so particular?" Yu Fei put the empty cup on the coffee table.
There was a slight "dang" sound, and he glanced at Teng Zijing with a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Can your image be used to make a living? Or can you rescue Sister An Yu?"
Teng Zijing didn't say anything more, just held the cigarette between his fingers and ignored him.
His eyes fell on the law firm's honor roll on the wall of the hall. His eyes were deep, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
In the meeting room of the law firm upstairs, the blinds were half-open, and sunlight shone through the gaps.
Mottled light and shadows were cast on the long mahogany table, and the air was filled with the sound of flipping papers and the faint aroma of coffee.
Gu Qinming pushed a stack of documents in front of Dou Jinde. The papers rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound. On the top page, several key data were circled in red pen.
"Take your team and review the key points of these documents," he said in a clear and calm voice, with an unquestionable professional aura.
“Focus on evaluating the possible defenses raised by the other party and make a new risk assessment plan.
Also, call Guo Binyan and tell him to get the other party's original financial statements by tomorrow morning—this is firsthand, core evidence, and there can't be any mistakes."
He paused, tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and glanced at the lawyers present:
"The trial will begin next Wednesday. We must ensure that there are no omissions and that we hit the target with one blow. We must not give the other party any breathing space."
Dou Jinde took the document, his fingertips tracing the gilded law firm logo on the cover. When he looked up, there was a hint of his usual mockery in his eyes:
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task. But then again, Jingye, the 'God of Wealth', came to my door today.
How much consulting fee are you going to give you? I guess it's going to be at least seven figures, right?
Gu Qinming was sorting out scattered pens. Upon hearing this, she turned around and looked at him with a faint smile on her lips: "You seem to know why he came?"
"Do we need to guess?" Dou Jinde spread his arms, leaned back in his chair, and said with a firm tone,
"The Antai Technology incident has caused a huge uproar in the city. An Jinsong has been taken away by the police for investigation, and the topic of Miss An is almost overshadowing the stock market crash.
As her public fiancé, Teng Zijing could just sit back and watch and do nothing?"
He picked up the phone on the table, swiped the screen and pulled up a few trending searches: "Look, the internet is going crazy.
Some people say that Miss An has just notarized her marriage and property agreement with Mr. Jing.
As for the various deficits that occurred at Antai Technology, An Jinsong should have planned it in advance.
Some people also speculated that the young master of Fengteng International would definitely come to the rescue in order to win the beauty's arms...
There are so many different versions of the story, and it's hard to believe he could sit still after waiting seven years for the final version."
Gu Qinming chuckled when he heard this and picked up the suit jacket on the back of the chair:
"Okay, let's stop guessing. He's right downstairs. Once he sees him, everything will become clear."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the conference room door. Just as his hand was on the door handle, he turned back and reminded, "Give me the estimated court session plan before 5 pm. Don't be lazy."
"Understood, Attorney Gu." Dou Jinde saluted and watched him open the heavy wooden door.
The door hinge made a slight "click" sound, and then the sound of focused discussion in the conference room resumed.
Gu Qinming didn't dare to delay and walked out of the meeting room quickly. His leather shoes made a crisp "tapping" sound on the marble floor of the corridor, and he ran straight to the elevator.
As he pressed the down button, he raised his hand to adjust his tie, his fingertips brushing across the slightly wrinkled cuffs of his shirt.
The meeting just now was held in a hurry, and now there is still a sense of urgency due to the busy work.
The elevator door slid open with a "ding" sound, and he stepped in. His fingertips tapped the number keys, and his eyes fell on the constantly jumping floor number.
When he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, he almost immediately raised his eyes and glanced around, his sight accurately catching sight of Teng Zijing in the reception area.
When passing by the front desk, the receptionist quickly stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Lawyer Gu, Mr. Jing has been waiting there for a while."
As she spoke, she led the way. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground and the sound of Gu Qinming's leather shoes intertwined, and soon they arrived in front of Teng Zijing.
Teng Zijing stood up immediately after hearing the voice, and stretched out his hand to shake Gu Qinming's. The warmth of his palms came through the contact.
With a bit of politeness, he said: "I came to your house suddenly without saying hello in advance. I am presumptuous."
Gu Qinming returned the handshake with a steady and powerful hand, a proper smile spreading across his face: "Mr. Jing, that's a bit too formal."
He leaned over and gestured "please." "The office upstairs is quiet. Shall we go up and discuss it in detail?"
"No need." Teng Zijing said directly, retracting his hands and habitually putting them in his pockets, his tone was full of unquestionable decisiveness.
"I came here today to ask you to help me sort out An Yu's case.
I think Attorney Gu also understands part of the situation between us. An Yu originally left Kuncheng when she was in college.
Afterwards, I had no contact with my family, relatives or friends, and therefore, I had no contact with the business dealings of various departments of Antai Technology.
I need you to help me collect information as quickly as possible and submit it to the police to prove Antai Technology's core business transactions and project contract approval records for the past seven years.
There are also financial documents related to her personal name and the company - she may not be aware of these. "
He paused, his eyes darkened, and he spoke slowly but clearly: "The most urgent task is to sort out all these materials.
Prove that she has nothing to do with the company's illegal operations, and strive to get her released on bail.
As for Antai's other messes, they should be investigated by the judicial authorities, and we will follow the procedures."
After hearing this, Gu Qinming's smile deepened. He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes revealing professional prudence.
"I understand. Ms. An's suspicion of involvement in the case stems primarily from her family connections. As long as we can sever the chain of evidence linking her to the company's core violations, there's a high chance she'll be granted bail."
He glanced at his watch. "I'll arrange for the team to liaise right away. Prioritize retrieving her bank statements, contract records, and her performance records. I'll give you a detailed update within three days."
"Thank you for your trouble, Lawyer Gu." Teng Zijing nodded slightly, without any extra greetings, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the hall.
The hem of the black windbreaker swayed gently with the steps, and the back figure was neat and tidy without a trace of drag.
It seemed as if the few conversations just now had finalized all the key issues.
Gu Qinming stood there, watching his figure disappear outside the revolving door, her fingertips unconsciously stroking her chin, a trace of thought flashing in her eyes——
There is probably no one else except An Yu who can make Teng Zijing so anxious and clear-eyed.
