The Way To Escape the Scum - Chapter 31
Ling Xiao spent a few days recuperating in the hospital, and finally evolved from a serious injury to a minor injury, and his daily life has basically no effect.
She found a small house with one bedroom and one living room to rent, and took all the things that should have been taken away from the original house, which was not cheap at all. After cleaning up, I took Nan Nan over from Chen Cheng, interviewed several nannies one after another, and finally found a reliable one, but they have not been able to get through these days.
Ling Xiao explained the situation to Chen Cheng, and generously arranged various anti-accident devices in the new house, and also installed high-definition cameras, just in case – after all, dealing with children, and then You can’t be too cautious.
Then she took care of herself and started her “intern” career with great energy.
XX Law Firm is one of the best in the city, especially in the field of civil and commercial affairs. Many old lawyers are Lu Yuanyuan’s predecessors and alumni. The majestic office building shows its top status. The diamond-shaped mirror walls reflect the deep blue sky, and the white clouds seem to float in it. Lawyers in neat suits go in and out with briefcases in and out, making it a gathering place for the elite.
Ling Xiao suddenly felt a slight inferiority complex in her heart, which was the emotion from Lu Yuanyuan.
She couldn’t help but stop, smiled and touched her chest, mumbling words.
“What are you afraid of? Believe in yourself, you are also very good.”
Eight thirty in the morning. There was a lot of people in front of the busy office building, and there was a person standing at the door trying to get in, which was a little strange at first glance.
But that’s not a problem – the problem is that she is wearing a sassy suit, but she has a baby swaddle on her back.
Clients with children?
The girl at the front desk couldn’t help it and came out to ask if she needed help.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said calmly, “Oh, I’m a new trainee lawyer.”
Front desk:…
No, you don’t look like it!
Just as the little girl stopped her and wanted to inquire further, Lawyer Chen finally clicked down.
Chen Cheng came to work here after graduation, and climbed up step by step with his own abilities. He became a mid-level partner at a young age and enjoyed an independent office and a reception room. The front desk naturally knew this man of the year.
“It came on time,” she nodded slightly, but there was a tacit understanding in the distance, “Come with me.”
The little girl at the front desk widened her eyes in surprise: “…is she really your trainee lawyer? But she brought the child—”
“So there is a causal relationship between the two?”
Chen Cheng’s voice was not too loud, and his tone was still soft: “Didn’t we have a unified notice some time ago that colleagues are welcome to bring their children to work to better ensure the balance of family work? New mother and baby Are the rooms and children’s mini playgrounds decorations?”
These measures with humanistic care are also one of the reasons why Ling Xiao chooses to work here.
The little girl blushed and quickly apologized, saying that she didn’t mean that.
This is not a big deal, but it is enough to see that it will take a long time to eliminate the inherent impression of most people.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, “Nan Nan, see, your Aunt Chen is so handsome.”
Chen Cheng’s office is on the seventeenth floor. The two walked side by side, attracting a lot of strange eyes along the way – mainly Ling Xiao’s dress is really a bit inconsistent. When the two entered the office together instead of the reception room, bystanders almost dropped their jaws.
A man with glossy hair combed to the back, glasses, and a spotless suit, who looks like a successful elite at first glance, walks over. Behind him was a young man in his early twenties, with the same arrogance and curiosity on his face.
“Lawyer Chen, is this—?”
Chen Cheng said without changing his face: “This is my newly recruited trainee lawyer, named Lu Yuanyuan.”
Then Chong Lingxiao briefly introduced: “This is lawyer Liu Chenggong Liu, responsible for civil disputes, and also our alumni. The other is a trainee lawyer like you, everyone calls him Xiao Wang. “
Ling Xiao was about to greet her generously, but she saw Chen Cheng paused and dragged her to the office.
“However, we have no interaction with them, no contact, that’s all.”
Ling Xiao: Good guy, is it so straightforward?
Looking at those two people again, they seem to be jumping with rage!
The “no intersection” lawyer Liu strode forward, leaning on the door frame, blocking the way for the two of them. He even adjusted his tie and cleared his throat before saying:
“Chen Cheng, this is wrong.”
“Everyone is a colleague, why are you so unfamiliar? You are too strong, of course, I’m not saying it’s not good… But it’s not a good thing for a girl to be strong, especially—”
He glanced at Ling Xiao meaningfully, and said earnestly: “How can we do our business with children? Take good care of the family at home, or find a more relaxed life. What. Lawyers are hard and tiring, and work for men.”
Xiao Wang nodded in agreement and looked at his boss admiringly.
Wow, that’s more oily than his hair.
Ling Xiao watched Liu Chenggong’s eyes aim at Chen Cheng, a bit like a peacock opening the screen, and could not help but realize.
Hey, this is a competitor and a suitor!
However, Chen Cheng was unmoved, and threw a mockery with his backhand.
“Yes, Attorney Liu has more worthless pendants than us, but unfortunately genetic evolution has not kept up. Do the math, the income this year is less than half of mine.”
“If you have the time to ridicule me, you might as well go to the source of the case. After all, there are some clients who only trust male lawyers, which is in line with you.”
Bang – double kill.
Ling Xiao couldn’t help clapping her hands in praise.
Then she also greeted politely, and made up the knife in tacit understanding.
“It’s great, Attorney Liu, to have time to bring the interns over for education.” She expressed her admiration very green tea, with a wistful tone.
“Unlike our lawyer Chen, who is too busy. Tsk, I have to work with her on the first day of work.”
…that’s so annoying!
Lawyer Liu didn’t expect this newcomer to be so sharp and sharp – Chen Cheng hated him, he put up with it, but why is this little intern so arrogant?
In the back, Xiao Wang couldn’t help standing up for his boss: “What do you mean? Quarrel?”
Ling Xiao shrugged her grievance: “I’m just a newcomer back to the workplace, how dare I quarrel with my seniors on my first day at work.”
But this is clearly about to quarrel. Liu Chenggong was also very protective of the calf, so the artillery was aimed at the newcomer.
“With children, I thought this was a nursery.”
“The level of work is divided into high and low. Chen Cheng, I didn’t expect you to find such a person as your intern. Our little Wang is an excellent talent who just graduated from our school. Without the burden of family, I think it is much stronger than you.”
Chen Cheng’s expression turned cold.
The eyes met, and the air seemed to be filled with the sound of crackling sparks.
But I heard a timid question suddenly coming from beside me.
“That…who is Lawyer Liu?”
Liu Chenggong responded, but he couldn’t think of who this client was, so he couldn’t help looking up and down subconsciously.
The woman looks in her thirties, but she seems to have experienced a lot of vicissitudes. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes cannot be concealed, and she looks tired and melancholy.
The weather is very hot today, but she still wears a long trench coat for some reason, perhaps to hide her thin body.
“Well, I didn’t make an appointment, I just wanted to consult a few questions about marriage. The staff on the first floor told me that you are an expert in this field, and I happened to have time this morning, so let me come up and ask you.”
The woman pinched the corner of her clothes nervously: “I will pay the consultation fee well.”
Her clothes and handbags are simple and ordinary, which is different from Liu Chenggong’s standard. His creed is simple—clients and lawyers are two-way choices, and it’s a profitable business anyway, so what’s wrong with him choosing rich people as clients?
But obviously, this runs counter to Chen Cheng’s philosophy, coupled with his usual arrogant attitude towards women… Naturally, no matter how many pursuits, there will be no end in sight.
He was about to greet him reluctantly when he suddenly seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Ling Xiao.
“In terms of marriage, I do do a lot, but our lawyer Chen is also an expert in this field. Look, her intern is still an experienced mother. I’ll have more in a while I wonder if the two of you have time to receive this lady?”
Bright shirk.
Chen Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to such a person, and was planning to bring the woman to the reception room. But Ling Xiao suddenly opened his mouth.
“I have a proposal, I don’t know if it is appropriate.”
She politely nodded at the woman and asked gently:
“Both lawyers are excellent experts, how about consulting together? That way you’ll be more confident, and you won’t have to worry if someone says something wrong, right?”
“Relax, we charge the consultation fee according to the time, not the number of people.”
Liu Chenggong/Xiao Wang: ? ? What is this newcomer suddenly making up his own mind?
The woman raised her head in surprise, glanced unconsciously at the swaddling clothes behind Ling Xiao, and then held her hand tightly with joy.
“If so, that would be great! Can I really?”
Liu Chenggong pulled Ling Xiao aside, lowered his voice, and his tone was extremely unkind.
“Hey, newbie, what do you mean?”
Ling Xiao said strangely: “Didn’t you just say that there are high and low levels of work? Such a good opportunity, who is high and whose level is low, leave it to the consultation Isn’t it good for people to judge?”
She slowly pulled away her arms, ignoring the anger of the other party.
“I thought that work, regardless of gender, was all about ability to speak. Or – are you afraid?”
Chen Cheng has neatly led the woman to the reception room to wait, and just heard this sentence when he came out.
She smiled slightly, stepped forward to grab his tie, and looked at him calmly.
“Afraid?”
Liu Chenggong: Ah, she is so close, she must like me!
Afraid of them? What a joke!
“Okay, come!”
