Chapter 1027: Hard to Survive in this Society

With the support of the government, Ning Shu’s firm gradually got on the right track and started gaining a good footing in T City.
This was the difference between fighting on your own versus having someone to support you. And the party supporting Ning Shu wasn’t just a person.
Ning Shu had fought a lot of free lawsuits, but the firm still made a profit.
Right now, Ning Shu was the one the government recommended to those who needed the help of law. As long as she didn’t cross the bottom line, her law firm would slowly start to grow stronger.
As of now, Ning Shu could attend some high-class parties. This indicated that her social status was steadily rising.
Ning Shu could sense that even if she didn’t manage to complete the task, she had still helped the original host counterattack and obtain a beautiful life. He was now someone who stood on equal footing with Chu Xiaoran.
Ning Shu felt very accomplished.
As she attended the dinner parties, she’d occasionally encounter Chu Xiaoran. When Chu Xiaoran saw Ning Shu, he remarked antagonistically, “You really are quite good at angling for fame. You actually became a philanthropist.”
Ning Shu smiled, “Even if I was angling for fame, I did do those things.”
Chu Xiaoran’s aura was very strong as he met Ning Shu’s gaze with a ruthless smile. “You really are an interesting person.”
“You’re also very interesting.” Ning Shu lifted her glass of red wine and tapped it against Chu Xiaoran’s glass. “A toast to you.”
Chu Xiaoran’s pupils dilated, then he tilted his head back and drank the wine. As he lowered his head to look at the wine glass, he actually started feeling a bit afraid of this man. He had only made a symbolic move but he had actually been given a warning for that small incident. Exactly what background did this man have?
Chu Xiaoran smiled as he said to Ning Shu, “We can collaborate in the future.”
“There’ll definitely be chances to collaborate,” said Ning Shu with a firm nod.
Chu Xiaoran glanced at Ning Shu one last time, then left. Ning Shu watched him leave indifferently.
Chu Xiaoran and Ning Shu were both clear on the fact that they were irreconcilable enemies. Although they were polite on the surface, what they wanted to do the most was to destroy the opponent and make it so that the opponent could never recover.
Chu Xiaoran relied on his influence to take whatever he wanted, so let’s see what he would do once he lost the capital to be so willful?
Chu Xiaoran had sent people to smash up Ning Shu’s firm last time because he disliked her, and Ning Shu also disliked Chu Xiaoran, so this time she acted as the Tax Bureau’s visiting lawyer and went with the tax inspector to Chu Xiaoran’s company to check the accounts.
Chu Xiaoran’s company was very large and was ranked as one of the wealthiest in T City. For the sake of showing how all-powerful Chu Xiaoran was, it was said that he ruled T City’s economy. If he stomped, T City’s economy would tremble in response.
He was undefeatable in T City. Everyone bowed under Chu Xiaoran’s authority and wagged their tails to beg for pity. It was like these businessmen only had food to eat if Chu Xiaoran gave them a bit of alms.
He was mind-bogglingly powerful.
Towards this, Ning Shu just smiled faintly.
She tilted her head back to look at the tall skyscraper, then rubbed the back of her neck. How much must this building have costed?
Ning Shu followed the tax inspector into Chu Xiaoran’s company. Chu Xiaoran didn’t show up and just had his secretary meet with the tax inspector.
At big companies like these, there were a lot of people in the finance department so the finances were done very well. Even if there were some leaks, they were left there purposefully for the inspector to find so that they could pay a bit of penalty and just skimp over the issue.
Ning Shu sat nearby as she watched these people check the accounts. This time, the check was very thorough. The inspector’s attitude was completely different from before. They were serious this time.
Even if just a single item was wrong, the inspector would get to the very bottom of it. Chu Xiaoran’s secretary soon noticed that something was off. The Chu family company has always been a large taxpayer. Even with the routine checks, these little leaks were only left here to give the tax inspectors a bit of a bonus.
However, now the tax inspector was being so serious about it. Chu Xiaoran’s secretary immediately notified Chu Xiaoran. It was better to leave these kinds of things for Chu Xiaoran to handle.
When Chu Xiaoran arrived, he saw that Ning Shu was sitting on the sofa and leisurely drinking tea. He glanced at the inspector, then walked over to sit in front of Ning Shu and lifted his brows. “Lawyer Xu isn’t just a lawyer, but also an accountant?”
“It’s hard to survive in this society. Every additional skill is one more mouthful of rice.” Ning Shu took another sip of the coffee, then smacked her lips as she replied.
Chu Xiaoran narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ning Shu. His lips hooked slightly in a faint careless smile. It was hard to read what he was thinking.
However, Ning Shu was pretty sure that this guy was currently considering how to kill off her, this bouncing flea.
