Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 299

The weather was a little gloomy on the streets of London, England in October.

The man was in a black woolen coat with a light khaki turtleneck sweater inside. His straight thin woolen trousers revealed his beautiful ankles. He was in a pair of dark British leather shoes.

His black hair was unkempt, fluttering in the wind casually, and his impressive features stood out even among the foreigners on the street.

Li Han went to this bustling but retro city during the rainy season. Instead of staying in a hotel, he chose a high-end homestay. Every morning, he got up to feed doves in the square, ate brunch like the locals, and sat in a coffee shop for a long time in the afternoon. At night, he liked to go to the beach for a breeze. He often carries a financial newspaper in his hand to show that he is not so lonely.

He walks alone on the street, enjoying the state of not being disturbed.

He stayed there for more than a week, and Pei Yu once called him, saying that Junze was furious after knowing Li Han would fly to London the next day and threatened that he would never care about Li Han again.

Li Han listened calmly. He knew Ling Junze's kindness to him but he could do nothing, so he could only ask Pei Yu to comfort Ling Junze.

Life was quiet and boring, and many times he even doubted whether he was really alive.

Until two weeks later, the assistant called him in one morning for urgent business, "Mr. Li, I just received an invitation. BIT Company in London is going to hold a FULLHOUSE party the night after tomorrow. It's about the investment last month. Because it involves charity and public welfare, this is also an opportunity to get to know more relative people."

BIT Company was a newly listed green technology company. A month ago, the company was in trouble because of financial problems. With Li Han's investment, the company managed to go public and its share price ballooned. However, the real reason why Li Han invested in it was that the company's projects were beneficial to charity.

He hadn't been philanthropic, but his state of mind had changed drastically over the years, so he was enthusiastic about charity and public welfare. When he heard what his assistant said, his first thought was to refuse, but he thought of the reason why he came to England. After a few seconds of silence, he answered, "Okay, I'll go."

Hearing that he agreed so readily, the assistant was shocked and said, "You, you mean to attend this party, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay! I'll send the invitation to your email later, and I'll get the person in charge of the party to contact you for the follow-up."

After hanging up the phone, the man scooped up a spoonful of ground coffee and put it into the coffee machine. Not long after, there was a strong smell of coffee. He lowered his eyes, picked up the cup, and took a sip. It was so bitter that it gave people goosebumps, but he had loved it for five years.

[...]

At the same time, Shu Tian drove Shu Xiao to the kindergarten and rushed back to the company. After more than a year of hard work, the law office was thriving and she didn't need to worry about the business.

She had more and more personal affairs and they were getting more and more complicated. So she had to redistribute them. She hired an assistant and left the trivial matters to her.

As soon as she entered the office and put down her bag, she heard the assistant remind her, "Suran, I received news today that BIT Company is going to hold a FULLHOUSE party the night after tomorrow."

Shu Tian raised her eyebrows. She was no stranger to this Company. It was a green technology company and was considered a new upstart in London's green technology industry. It had been operated for eight years and was successfully listed last month. In the eyes of outsiders, it was definitely a great company.

However, this company did not leave a good impression on Shu Tian.

A period of time ago, a white man came to her law office and said that his left eye vision was almost lost because of a work injury. After he made the compensation request, BIT Company delayed it several times and did not deal with it. The person in charge did not make any statement, so he came to the law office to ask for their help. The white man was an official employee of BIT Company.

The company was very powerful, so the lawsuit was difficult. To solve it, Shu Tian had to see the person in charge of this matter.
