Chapter 1685
“Wait a minute.” Fu Shen Yan called out to me, as if he had something to say.
“Something else?” I asked.
“As promised, there are no more secrets from now on, and there is something I have to tell you.” Fu Shen Yan’s expression was serious and earnest, and his voice sobered up considerably, “Huo Tian Lin’s people can no longer contact Gu Han, no one knows his whereabouts at the moment.”
My heart suddenly lifted.
It was a weak heart.
I wasn’t prepared to tell Fu Shenyan about Huo Tianlin’s private search for me, but he had no qualms about revealing Gu Han’s situation to me.
Then pursed his lips and sN*ggered at his own villainy.
Fu Shen Yan was a little puzzled, “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing.” I curbed my smile and pretended to be calm, “Why do you suddenly not mind me helping Gu Han?”
Fu Shen Yan took a sharp breath before speaking again, “After all that you’ve been through, you’re still willing to trust me, what else do I have to mind, you chose me in your heart, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” I was amused and helpless, honesty was also a rite of passage, if Fu Shen Yan hadn’t been forced to tell the truth, we might have spent a lifetime unable to truly trust each other.
“How are they doing with the kids lately, have they been torturing you?” Fu Shen Yan squeezed his eyes down a little, like he was coming through the screen and sticking to me.
I adjusted the camera so he could see where his stomach was and reached out to stroke it, “The baby is well behaved, not fussing, all very distraught with their mother.”
Fu Shen Yan didn’t answer for a long time, and when I lifted the phone to face myself, I realised that the camera on his side had turned to the ceiling at some point.
Probably too tired, Fu Shen Yan just looked at me and the child and unknowingly fell asleep.
I foolishly said good night to the phone, afraid that the sound of hanging up would wake him up, so I simply pressed the mute button, put the phone on the pillow next to me, lay down, and put my hand on the other half of the bed, just as if Fu Shen Yan was with me, and slept peacefully.
This night, even the baby was particularly quiet and I slept very Avray.
When I woke up, the phone had already turned itself off. It seemed that Fu Shen Yan had also slept for a long time, otherwise he would have hung up the phone when he woke up.
I lifted the blanket and got out of bed, taking my phone to the living room to charge it before I went to the bathroom to wash up.
Just as I came out of the bathroom, Sang Yun pushed in with a pile of papers in her hand and rushed in.
“Shou Shou Shou! Pass! You passed!”
“Calm down, what did you pass?” I was completely baffled.
“The judicial exam! Here!” Sang Yun shoved the notice in her hand at me, “The lawyer’s qualification was sent to you, and it came with an internship invitation from a law firm!”
“Really?” I was flattered and opened it to look at it, but I was more than a little overjoyed.
I’d waited so long that I’d forgotten about the judicial exam, and what a great surprise.
After I had calmed down, I opened the internship invitation, “Xidong Law Firm ……”
Why was this name so familiar, I thought I had heard it somewhere before.
“Oh? Sikdong?” Sang Yun perked up her ears and snatched the invitation up, browsing through it quickly in a serious manner and then gave her answer, “The address of this firm is actually in the busiest commercial street in the capital, a big firm, Xiao Shu, so you have already prepared your back way!”
With a puzzled look on my face, I snatched the invitation back and took a closer look at it, and that was really what happened.
How could a law firm of this caliber look at me, a budding lawyer who had just passed the judicial exam?
Chapter 1686
The invitation stated that it was valid for a month, and as I had two months to go before I could unload the goods, plus the fact that I was in my first month, there was no time to spare, so I ignored it.
After about three weeks, I had almost forgotten about it when I received a call early in the morning from a secretary claiming to be from Sidong Law Firm.
“Miss Shen? I’m calling to confirm with you that you have received an internship offer from our law firm?” The woman’s voice was polite, but did not sound sharp.
“Yes.” I nodded and took a sip of hot milk.
“So did you have another choice or was there some resistance to Siddons? ……”
“Neither, it’s just me, I’m pregnant and due soon so I can’t make it over to the internship, thanks for your kind words.”
I had privately researched Sidong, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the top law firm in town, a haven for everyone who passed their judicial exams, and to intern there would be a beautiful addition to a resume.
It’s a bit of a shame, but what does it matter? There’s nothing more reassuring than having a child born safely.
“Oh, well, we have considered that, and given that you are a professional who passed the judicial exam in one go, the company doesn’t want to miss out on talent and can arrange an online interview for you, what do you think?”
Hmm? It’s hard not to be tempted by such words.
But how could a company like Seodong be so humble as to try to retain talent?
I was sceptical, but after thinking there was no danger, I agreed.
The appointment with the secretary was at 9am the next day, and although I had no hopes, I got up early and waited in front of the computer half an hour early because of the baby in my belly.
The secretary who had contacted me before sent me a video call on time, and before I clicked on the answer button, I nervously fixed my appearance, but when I saw the interviewer’s face, I froze in my tracks.
Han Jae-woo?
I didn’t even leave his business card when I thought I wouldn’t see him again, but it was such a coincidence that he turned out to be my top boss at the same time?
Before I could react, Han Jae-woo had already changed the subject in a business-like manner, “Let’s get started.”
Hearing his public and private tone, I calmed down and officially entered the interview process.
Although I didn’t have much experience in interviewing, the two years I had spent reviewing made me answer questions like a champ, and Han Jae Woo didn’t seem to have any intention of making things difficult for me, and the interview was over in half an hour, “This is the end of the interview, I wonder when it will be convenient for Miss Shen to come to work?”
I was a bit flattered, “So you’ve hired me?”
Han Jae Woo sat down on the leather seat and spread his hands out in a generous manner, “Your abilities fully meet the company’s requirements, it makes sense to hire you, is there any problem?”
“No no.” I acted a little excited at suddenly being so highly regarded, but maintained my basic sanity and made my situation clear with some embarrassment, “Did Secretary Sally tell you that I’m about to give birth and it will be about three months before I can check in.”
Han Jae Woo froze for a moment, his forehead wrinkled, seemingly in some difficulty.
I was prepared for this and pursed my lips to show that I could accept it, “It’s okay, I can understand, after all, three months is indeed too long ……”
“Yes,” Han Jaiyu suddenly clapped his hands together and bargained very shrewdly, “Consider that you take your maternity leave early, and after you join, no more maternity leave for five years, can you accept that?”
