Chapter 2: It suits you very well

“Okay, I’ll go there later. Thank you.”

Xie Chengyun nodded, closed the lid of the cup, and left the tea room.

“Lawyer Xie should be busy, but I didn’t hear him say that there’s a new person in our group.” Chen Xinyu stood at his workstation and handed a notebook and a pen to the person in front of him. “I’m Chen Xinyu, a fourth-year lawyer. Your name is Qi Yanze, right?”

“Hello, that’s right.”

Xie Chengyun saw the young man stand up and stretch out his hand. He was very tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist from behind. His shirt was very snug and could depict his strong and upright figure. If this weren’t a workplace, it would be quite tempting.

“Oh, Lawyer Xie is here.” Chen Xinyu had just finished shaking hands before he noticed Xie Chengyun walking out of the tea room.

“Xiao Chen, you’ll give him a rundown on the progress of several of our current operations later. I’ll have a word with him first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man turn his head back.

It was no wonder that Sister Lin gave such a high evaluation in the tea room just now. When Xie Chengyun saw this face clearly, he was also surprised. The facial features of the man in front of him were impeccable, with deep eyebrows and eyes, a high and straight nose, a thin upper lip, and a slightly thicker lower lip, but with a full and sexy look. His facial features were as three-dimensional as if they were carved with a knife. He looks clean and refreshing, and his smile suggests a gentle and harmless nature. In addition, he seems to be more proactive than most young people who have just entered the society. He’s a person who could easily attract goodwill from others.

“Lawyer Xie.” Qi Yanze nodded to him politely, “My name is Qi Yanze. I am here for an internship during the gap period. Thank you for your care in the future.”

“Lawyer Wang has told me about you. Why don’t you come into my office first?”

“Okay.”

After the glass door of the office was closed, the rustling noise outside was blocked. Xie Chengyun took a sip of tea and looked up at the person in front of him. Although the other wasn’t his type, who could refuse to work with someone who’s capable and good-looking? Just thinking about it was pleasing to the eye.

“Lawyer Wang interviewed you before. He told me that he wanted you to follow me during this period because something came up on his side.”

“I didn’t expect to follow Lawyer Xie.” Qi Yanze raised his lips, “I heard of Lawyer Xie’s reputation a long time ago.”

“Oh? What kind of reputation?”

“You helped domestic Internet giants go public on the Hong Kong stock market a few years ago.”

“I’m just one of the many people on the HK side. I wasn’t even the person in charge at the time. I can’t be considered to have a great reputation.” Xie Chengyun smiled and shook his head. He was surprised that Qi Yanze knew this. He remembered what Wang Zhihe said and spoke in a somewhat implicit way, “I heard from Lawyer Wang that you have an excellent personal background. Most of the non-litigation internship is dirty work, which is highly repetitive and tedious without much to offer in return. You can do due diligence training to understand the basics first, and you can follow me later if you have the opportunity.”

He only said that his personal background is excellent but didn’t mention his relationship with a brokerage firm. Anyway, Wang Zhihe’s words implied that he shouldn’t treat the young master as a water intern.

“Is that so? Actually, it doesn’t matter. Internships are supposed to start from the basics.” Qi Yanze smiled and took the initiative to bring it up, “Perhaps because my uncle and Lawyer Wang are old classmates, that’s why he looked for you. I’m sorry to trouble you.”

Seeing that he didn’t evade the topic, Xie Chengyun was no longer reserved. He was a little curious about how the nephew of a brokerage firm boss became a lawyer: “Your family has a brokerage firm, and I see that you also studied finance in your undergraduate degree. Normally, you should also go to investment banks, so why do you come to the legal industry?”

“Oh, it’s my uncle who owned the business; it can’t be considered a family background. Besides, I’m not interested in those.” Qi Yanze shrugged, “To be honest, my family is the same as Lawyer Xie’s, engaging in engineering construction. Didn’t you also choose to work in the legal industry?”

Qi Yanze had a smile in his eyes when he spoke, and he looked harmless. Although his family background was no secret, Xie Chengyun instinctively frowned when an intern said this, “Oh? How do you know what my family does?”

“Don’t be nervous, Lawyer Xie.” Qi Yanze blinked, looking somewhat innocent. “My uncle heard that I was going to do an internship at Hengli, so he mentioned to me once that Lawyer Xie’s family and my family used to be in the same industry.”

“So that’s it.”

Xie Chengyun didn’t doubt his explanation; he just didn’t expect that Qi Yanze’s family wasn’t engaged in finance but in engineering construction like his father.

He suddenly remembered that he had to reply to the client later, so he stood up and prepared to look through the files for the afternoon meeting. “Then go back to your workstation first, and let Xiao Chen take you to familiarize yourself with the work and progress at hand. I have something else to do. If you have any questions, you can ask Xiao Chen first.”

After saying that, he turned his back and began searching for the file bag on the bookshelf. Qi Yanze didn’t move immediately behind him but just stood there and began tracing Xie Chengyun’s body with a meaningful look in his eyes.

The man’s back looked broad and steady, especially after taking off his coat, revealing only his body wrapped in a suit vest. It was evident that his busy work schedule hadn’t caused him to neglect his physical health. This dedication to fitness was a unique and alluring characteristic of a mature man. Qi Yanze whistled inwardly, and his gaze shifted downwards to the round and delicate buttocks wrapped in suit pants. The indoor light shone on it, and he could see the ravines at the junction of light and dark that one’s mind thronged with thoughts.

Although he didn’t like to do that with men, and he had no interest in men older than himself, he had to say that Xie Chengyun was indeed not bad in terms of appearance. He was calm, handsome, and self-disciplined. Qi Yanze felt that even if he had to rely on pills one day, it wouldn’t be impossible.

After Xie Chengyun took the file bag, he turned around to see Qi Yanze standing there without moving. The young man was looking at his cup with interest.

“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”

“No, I’m just surprised that Lawyer Xie actually likes to drink tea like other older lawyers.”

Xie Chengyun was choked up on this rare occasion. He didn’t really like to drink tea, but because he was relatively young in the top firms when he became a partner, he was also afraid of being gossiped about. He had been dealing with senior executives in their 40s, 50s, and 60s for a long time, so he got used to pretending to drink tea in the workplace, as if to integrate into the older group, disguise himself to learn from them, and prove his “ability.”

“I’m not young anymore, and drinking tea is good for the body.”

Qi Yanze knew Xie Chengyun’s age, but he didn’t think that this number was big for a man.

“Indeed, drinking tea is good for beauty. No wonder Lawyer Xie is so well maintained.” He put on a smile and then stretched out his hand frankly. “Then, Lawyer Xie, please take care of me in the future.”

Xie Chengyun lowered his eyes to look at the young man’s large, broad hand that he extended and quickly shook it back, “You too.”

After the two palms touched, the temperature was passed to each other. This was obviously a very ordinary handshake, but Xie Chengyun felt that the palm of his hand was burned by the other person’s temperature. He subconsciously wanted to pull his hand out, but the other party seemed to have used some force. He frowned slightly and was about to speak, but the other party quickly let go of his hand, as if the force just now was just his illusion, but before he could react, he felt that the skin of his purlicue was rubbed twice by someone’s finger in an ambiguous way.

“Lawyer Xie, the red tie suits you very well.” Qi Yanze lowered his voice and leaned over to Xie Chengyun’s ear. The hot and humid breath sprayed on his earlobe, tickling his heart.

He turned his head and met Qi Yanze’s cunning gaze. The licentious boldness and purposefulness in the young man’s eyes were unmistakable, like a giant python spitting out its tongue. His eyes sparkled with the gleam of seeing prey, completely different from the harmless look he showed before.

Xie Chengyun’s temples jumped twice, thinking that he had misread the situation. Before the polite and restrained thank you could be said, Qi Yanze retracted his gaze and returned to the appearance of an innocent college student, saying in a reserved tone, “Then I will go out first, Lawyer Xie. I won’t disturb your work.”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Xie Chengyun to respond and went out directly.

When the glass door was closed again, Xie Chengyun pulled his collar and breathed a sigh of relief. He could no longer distinguish whether the other party’s gaze was serious or it was just an illusion caused by his long period of absence; that’s why he doubted an intern because of a simple compliment.

But it’s undeniable that the other party seems to have a good personality, and the key is that he has a superior appearance. Having such an intern following him in the future can be regarded as a way to adjust the boring work mood.
