He Xiang looked up and realized that it was someone she knew.
She immediately stood up and greeted him.
“Lavvyer Chu.”
Chu Gushen strode into the villa just now.
However, after seeing He Xiang, he slowed down for a moment and asked, “Miss Lin is here?”
“Yes, Sister Lin just went upstairs.” He Xiang replied honestly, “She is discussing something with Teacher Huo.”
Chu Gushen pondered for a moment and nodded at He Xiang. “I’m going out to make a call.”
As soon as he stepped out, Chu Gushen’s relaxed expression turned solemn.
He found Huo Xunzhou’s number and dialed it.
The phone rang a few times before Huo Xunzhou picked it up.
Without waiting for Huo Xunzhou to speak, Chu Gushen said anxiously, “I saw Miss Lin’s assistant downstairs. Miss Lin is here? I won’t go upstairs then. I’ll come back after she leaves.”
Huo Xunzhou fell silent for two seconds before he said, “It’s okay. I’ve already explained it to her. Come upstairs.”
“Really?” Chu Gushen could not discern if Huo Xunzhou was telling the truth, but based on his understanding of Huo Xunzhou, he somehow felt that Huo Xunzhou would trick him.
After a moment of silence, Huo Xunzhou replied, “We’ve been working together for so long. Don’t you even have a little bit of trust in me?”
Chu Gu felt that what Huo Xunzhou said made sense. “Alright, I’ll believe you this time.”
Huo Xunzhou hung up the phone. Then, he turned to Lin Shanchu with a gentle expression and said, “Chu Gushen will be here soon.”
Lin Shanchu sat on the sofa with her arms crossed in front of him, glaring at him.
Huo Xunzhou’s expression looked natural and gentle as he slowly curled his fingers up on his knee.
Lin Shanchu looked so cute when she was angry.
He wanted to pinch her face.
Unfortunately, the current situation was not suitable.
In fact, Lin Shanchu had just kicked the door and come in. When she saw Huo Xunzhou’s calm expression, her anger almost subsided.
However, she was putting on airs, so she could not just drop the angry pretense.
Then, she would lose face.
After clearing her throat, Lin Shanchu raised her chin slightly and said, “I’m really angry. I already told you that I don’t know how to do business! You even gave me all the shares you bought! You’re forcing me to do things beyond my power!”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t intend to do this at first, but Chu Gushen said that he had a way to get you to sign the entrustment agreement. Even if you don’t show up, we can still carry out the share transaction…”
Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and lowered his eyes with a sincere expression of repentance.
Lin Shanchu had never seen him like this before. Her heart softened and she almost said, “It’s fine.”
Knock! Knock!
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Lin Shanchu’s thoughts.
“Come in,” Huo Xunzhou said loudly.
Chu Gu pushed the door open and entered the study.
Lin Shanchu smiled politely and asked, “Lawyer Chu, you met my assistant downstairs, didn’t you?
Chu Gushen’s expression stiffened slightly before he turned to look at Huo Xunzhou in confusion.
Huo Xunzhou lowered his head and poured tea for Lin Shanchu, as if he did not notice that Chu Gushen was in the study.
Chu Gushen suddenly realized that Huo Xunzhou had probably sold him out.
What happened to the so-called trust?
Chu Gushen resigned himself to his fate and sat opposite Lin Shanchu.
“Yes, Miss Lin. I met your assistant downstairs.”
“When you called Huo Xunzhou just now, I was right beside you. I heard everything you said.”
Chu Gushen gritted his teeth and glanced at Huo Xunzhou.
This traitor!
“I’m very sorry about the entrustment agreement. I’ve known President Huo for many years and worked with him many times. He said that he wanted to give his girlfriend a gift, so I helped him come up with a bad idea. Indeed, I am at fault in this matter.”
Chu Gushen’s tone was calm and sincere, but he had a helpless look on his face.
Lin Shanchu glanced at Huo Xunzhou and said, “Lawyer Chu, you’re too humble. You’ve done me a great favor this time. How can I blame you for such a small matter?”
“Thank you for your understanding, Miss Lin,” Chu Gushen said as he forced a smile.
Lin Shanchu covered her mouth and coughed softly, trying to suppress the smile on her face.
“Lawyer Chu, you must have come to discuss something important, so I’m not going to disturb you two. Take your time for discussion.”
It was better to leave the battlefield to these two scheming men.
She more or less figured out what had happened.
When Huo Xunzhou first tried to ask her if she wanted Lu Corporation to change its name into Lin Corporation, she rejected him. However, he did not give up.
The equity transaction required the presence of the shareholder or their proxy. Huo Xunzhou knew that it was impossible for her to be present in person, so he asked Chu Gushen to tamper with the entrustment agreement she signed previously.
Huo Xunzhou had a face that could make people lose their heads over lust, but she could not just be muddle-headed and believe his nonsense.
She really did not expect that this scheming man, Huo Xunzhou, would shamelessly shift the blame onto Chu Gushen.
Chu Gushen swallowed his anger and accepted the blame.
Lin Shanchu did not understand him, but she had a vague feeling that his image was ruined.
She somewhat understood Wen Huan’s feelings.
The atmosphere in the study changed right after Lin Shanchu left.
Chu Gushen stood up furiously and yelled at Huo Xunzhou while tugging at his tie without any regard for his image.
“Huo Xunzhou, are you still human? Who begged me to think of a way to get Lin Shanchu to sign the entrustment agreement?”
“It’s me,” Huo Xunzhou replied calmly.
Chu Gushen became angrier as he shouted, “And you made me a scapegoat! I want to terminate the contract with you! I’ll terminate the contract now!”
“In the next ten years. the legal fees will double.” Huo Xunzhou said calmly.
A trace of hesitation flashed across Chu Gushen’s face.
He silently sat on the sofa and did not relent. “Forget it. I’ll terminate the contract when it expires.”
Huo Xunzhou glanced at him. “Double.”
Chu Gu did not say anything.
Huo Xunzhou added, “Triple.”
Chu Gushen already started to calculate his profits for the next ten years.
“Since…
“Since you’re so sincere, let’s redraft the contract!”
Chu Gushen had a reluctant look on his face, but he already impatiently took out the computer from his handbag to draft the contract on the spot.
It was as if he was afraid that Huo Xunzhou would go back on his word.
Chu Gushen drafted the contract on the spot and stared at Huo Xunzhou as he signed it.
After Huo Xunzhou signed the contract, he watched Chu Gushen carefully put it into his bag with a faint smile.
Chu Gushen raised his head and glanced at him. “Did I miss something?”
Huo Xunzhou slowly poured him a cup of tea. “Have a cup of tea to cool down first.’
Chu Gushen took the cup of tea. Just as he was about to place it near his mouth, an idea flashed in his mind. Then, he abruptly turned around and looked at Huo Xunzhou.
“How much did you spend to buy Lu Corporation’s shares this time?”
“You were the one who helped me work out the accounts. No one knows my financial situation better than you.”
A slight change of expression appeared on Chu Gushen’s calm and steady face..
