Chapter 50 His Time Was More Valuable Than Gold

However, after they viewed the contract, Loren Taylor realized that he was wrong.

The lawyer Gloria Taylor brought was not a crappy one. Instead, the lawyer was very professional and cautious.

The lawyer ‘Leon Clarke’ lent her called Fu Tingxi. He looked very poised and cautious.

Fu Tingxi could feel that Loren Taylor silently despise him.

When Loren Taylor’s lawyer came up with the contract, Fu Tingxi noticed the loopholes.

Loren Taylor was not yet aware, but his lawyer already turned pale. He knew that the lawyer she brought was very good.

He hurriedly explained to Gloria Taylor, “Gloria, our company has been busy recently. It’s normal for the contract to have loopholes.”

Fu Tingxi sneered, “Is it? These simple loopholes can easily be noticed even by a fresh graduate intern, let alone your legal adviser who has been working for more than three years.”

Gloria Taylor was a bit surprised. How did he know that the lawyer brought by Loren Taylor had more than three years of experience?

How was it possible that lawyers’ eyes were so attentive?

Gloria Taylor hid her surprise and said softly, “Dad, you should change your lawyer.”

Loren Taylor turned his head and scolded his lawyer, “What did you do? You couldn’t even write a good contract. You’re so useless.”

The lawyer quickly bowed his head and said, “I’m sorry, Chairman. I made a mistake. I may have got the wrong contract.”

Then, he took a new contract from his briefcase.

Loren Taylor had been fighting in the market for so many years. He was quite skillful and well-prepared, so he had two contracts ready for this time.

One was the flawed contract and the other one was the normal contract.

Fu Tingxi took the contract and read it carefully. He nodded to Gloria Taylor, “No problem.”

***

After done dealing with the contract, Gloria Taylor ordered two packages of afternoon tea set for takeaway.

Of course, Loren Taylor paid for it.

Before they left Jin Ding, she gave one of the afternoon tea set for her lawyer, “Lawyer Fu, thank you for today.”

“No need to be so polite, Mrs. Clarke.”

Fu Tingxi usually didn’t accept such small cases, but he was employed by Kenny Clarke after all. He had a good relationship with him and Gloria Taylor’s case was not a difficult one, so he couldn’t just shrugged it off.

There was another reason though. He wanted to see how ugly the legendary Mrs. Clarke was.

Although she was dressed in a plain clothes, but from the perspective of a grown up man, she was not ugly.

There was a saying that suited her well, beauty lied in the bone, not in the skin.

When she laughed, her eyes were even brighter.

“Thank you so much for helping me. You must be very busy. This afternoon tea set is a little gift for you.”

Judging from his sharp style of work, he must be a very good lawyer. The more competent he was, the busier he should be.

Fu Tingxi saw her sincere face and received the gift.

He could take it back and give it to Carl Cook. That man was like a pig, he ate everything.

Gloria Taylor and her lawyer left. Loren Taylor and his lawyer followed.

Loren Taylor was really curious. Where did she find a powerful lawyer like that? He came forward and said, “Sir, can you please stay?”

Fu Tingxi who was about to leave looked at Loren Taylor and asked, “What’s the matter, Mr. Taylor?”

Loren Taylor set the table, gently coughed, and asked, “If you don’t mind, shall we have a cup of coffee?”

Fu Tingxi smiled, “Sorry, Sir. I don’t have time for that.”

The old man was not as smart as his daughter. He didn’t know that Fu Tingxi’s time was more valuable than gold. He couldn’t just sit down for a coffee. He was too busy for that.

The lawyer behind Loren Taylor asked politely, “What’s your name, Sir?”

“I’m surnamed Fu.” He replied shortly and left.

Loren Taylor’s lawyer murmured, “Fu, Fu…”

Suddenly, he clasped his hand, “In a big city like Shanghai and he knows well-known lawyers in the industry. He is sharp and fierce. He must be Fu Tingxi!”

Fu Tingxi. Loren Taylor had heard of him.

A few years ago, there was a commercial case that caused a sensation in Shanghai. No lawyer dared to take the case. Finally, Fu Tingxi took it over. It took several years to win the case and he came out glorious.

Gloria Taylor alone would not be able to hire such a powerful lawyer.

Kenny Clarke must have helped her.

At the thought, Loren Taylor had a silent moment for 15% shares that he just gave away.

Kenny Clarke treated Gloria Taylor well. He had a small hope that he could ask Gloria Taylor to persuade Kenny Clarke to invest his money on them.

Fu Tingxi went to Sheng Ding Media with his afternoon tea.

He went directly to the president’s office to find Carl Cook.

Carl Cook had been working overtime in the company recently and he was exhausted. He was jealous when he saw others could go out and enjoy their free time.

He knew that even Fu Tingxi had gone out on a trip before. As soon as he see Fu Tingxi coming in, he quickly asked, “Where have you been? Be honest with me or else I will deduct your salary!”

“Do you think you can do that?” Fu Tingxi shrugged him off.

Carl Cook pushed his glasses up to his nose bridge and pretended to lie dead on the desk.

Fu Tingxi was a top tier lawyer. Most people couldn’t afford to hire him. Carl Cook could threat him with his salary, but the one who could actually do that was Kenny Clarke.

Fu Tingxi put the afternoon tea set on the table and said, “Eat.”

Carl Cook resurrected and frowned, “Did you buy it in Jin Ding?”

Jin Ding was originally a hotel. Kenny Clarke took it over and spent a huge sum of money turning the place into a luxurious club.

Recently, Kenny Clarke hadn’t been going to his office. He would spend his time eating in Jin Ding every day. He was so bored that he felt like puking. Most of the time, he had no appetite to eat.

“This is from Mrs. Clarke.” Fu Tingxi said. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Gloria?” Carl Cook was surprised, “She bought you an afternoon tea set out of nothing? Oh my god. Is she having an affair with you? You and Kenny are brothers for years. Is she turning you and Kenny against each other? This is too much! This is vicious!”

Fu Tingxi smiled, “You should enter the entertainment industry to make a movie. Kenny will make you so popular.”

Carl Cook was joking. He knew who Gloria Taylor was and intuitively felt that she was not that kind of person.

“You have met Gloria, haven’t you? Now, you know how she looks like, but Kenny seems to fall in love with her. He is so attentive to her.” Carl Cook had no prejudice against Gloria Taylor. He simply felt that

Kenny Clarke had a strange taste.

Fu Tingxi thought for a moment and gave a pertinent comment, “She’s beautiful.”

“???” Carl Cook was at loss for words.

What did Kenny Clarke and Fu Tingxi do that their opinion became like this?
