Chapter 1735
When the two of them finished, Xin Dazhu retired with his pipe in his mouth.
Once he left, there were only Han Jae-woo and I in the office.
“This desk will be yours from now on.” Han Jae-woo said, pointing to the empty table at his hand.
I looked at the table and then at him, a little puzzled.
Two people facing each other?
“That’s not very nice, is it, Counselor Han.” I tried to be as gracious as possible, “I’m a newcomer, and I’ve enjoyed so many privileges before, and having an office as soon as I arrive will make my colleagues gossip.”
Han Jae Woo stared at me for a couple of seconds, seemingly in thought, and after a moment, spoke again, “So you think you’re as ordinary as those people out there? Then why did I have to make more concessions and poach you to the company?”
The words made my face burn, and I couldn’t say a word because the words were stuck in my throat.
Han Jae Woo ignored my embarrassment and turned to take a document from the table and handed it over, “This is the divorce case file of Gan Jiabao, a wealthy man in the city, familiarise yourself with the information as soon as possible, we’ll be accompanying Master to court in a couple of days.”
“Gan Jiabao? Didn’t the media say he was always single, when did he get married?” I opened the file and took a look, my three senses were shattered, “There are actually three children, or cheating in marriage!
The gossip came at a bad time, and after I said that, I obviously felt that Han Jae Woo was looking at me strangely, and I wanted to find a hole in the ground right now, but in reality, all I could do was to silently put the file away and go back to my seat to read the information.
I was about to leave and go back to see the kids when Han Jae-woo came in with a pile of papers and met me right in the middle of it.
I was a little embarrassed when I looked at him, and Han Jae Woo was frowning, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
After a long time, he spoke up to break the silence, “You’re getting ready to leave work?”
“Yeah,” I said, suddenly at a loss for words, pointing at the wall clock, “It’s six o’clock, isn’t it?”
Han Jae Woo glanced up at the clock, his eyes even colder, “My first day at the law firm, I stayed up until 6pm the next day, Miss Shen, I hope you understand what kind of existence Seok Dong is, and that lawyers don’t just become lawyers by paddling around.”
He seemed to have exasperated himself, and after he finished clutching his papers he went back to his desk, the temperature in the room dropping to freezing in a flash.
Who would have thought that I would be thirty years old and have to be scolded by a man younger than myself.
In my shame, it was clear to me that Han Jae-woo was right, a lawyer is never an easy job.
Throwing my bag back on the table, I walked out and asked my assistant to find the case files for me for the past year, determined to make up for my lack of experience.
As I watched my assistant and I return to the office with a mountain of files, Han finally looked up, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
But it didn’t matter to me, I was doing it for myself, for Fu Shenyan, and even more so for the child, and I didn’t need to pay attention to what others thought.
But soon, I found out that things were not as simple as I thought. Han Jae-woo, really, was not a normal person, and the hour hand of the wall clock was pointing to eleven, and he actually showed no sign of being ready to leave work.
Although I was not convinced, I was getting a little irritated. Frankly speaking, reading information was boring and tedious, and the fact that I hadn’t been sitting in an office for a long time was torturous for me.
Finally, at half past eleven, a heavenly voice rang out from outside, “Shen Shu? Where is it!”
It was Shen Yu!
Chapter 1736
“Here!”
I was like a man in the water who saw the straw that saved his life, jerking up and looking out, almost rushing out.
I was lucky he was smart enough to find me, otherwise I probably would have had to wait until I saw the sun tomorrow.
The air had a hint of saber-rattling when Shen Yu heard the sound and pushed open the door to his office to survey the situation inside, and Han Zaiyu dropped what he was doing.
“You are Xiao Shu’s boss?” Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, his face was a look that was not easy to provoke.
“You misunderstand, I’m just Shen Shu’s colleague.” Han Jaiyu had his hands in his pockets, his face as normal.
“That means it doesn’t count,” Shen Yu dangled his eyes and looked at me sideways as he lifted his chin towards the outside, “Let’s go, go home.”
Shen Yu, who was born with the aura of a leader, did not identify himself at this moment, but his arrogant attitude already showed his status as a wealthy man, and any smart person would know to avoid him.
However, there is another kind of smart person in this world – one who knows everything about the current situation, but just has to carry out his principles and walk outside the unspoken rules.
“As Shen Shu’s family, we should be happy that she is pursuing advancement, not holding her back!” Han Jae Woo’s voice was powerful, instantly setting the office alight.
My hand stopped in mid-air as I reached for my bag, speechless and squirming.
It was true that Han Jae Woo was trying to be progressive, but at the moment he was being a bit nosy, more like an unscrupulous bourgeois, a completely different person from the one I was getting along with before, leaving me with the feeling that I had been duped.
“I’m sorry, Counselor Han,” I said before Shen Yu could speak up, walking over to him and looking at Han Zaiyu solemnly, “I think you’d better understand that Shen Yu is the closest thing I have to a person and has nothing to do with you, and even if you’re a senior here, that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to judge people at will. ”
Han Jae Woo probably didn’t expect me to have such a tough attitude despite my soft exterior, and unexpectedly frowned without answering.
I wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to the straight man’s doubts, I directly turned around and took Shen Yu’s hand towards the outside, “Brother, let’s go home! I’ll be the salted fish today, our family can still afford me, right?”
“Of course, what a bullSh*t law firm, the office is not as spacious as our toilet, tomorrow I will open a big one for you, let you be your own boss!” It was rare for Shen Yu to see me being so forthcoming, so he was happy to cooperate.
I was so happy to be able to help.
When I got into Shen Yu’s car and remembered what had just happened, I stroked my chest in hindsight.
After I had my baby, it was like I had gone back to the old days, when I couldn’t see my closest people being aggrieved.
“Goo ……” The sound of my stomach protesting brought me back to reality.
“Let’s go get a snack I’m hungry …… I’m starving,” I shot up and turned my head, only to find Shen Yu staring at me with interest, “Why are you looking at me like that, do I have something dirty on my face?”
Shen Yu sidled up and leaned against the steering wheel, smiling, “Nothing, it feels as if my little Shu has come to life again.”
“Strange,” I couldn’t stand the melodramatic scenes and grumpily rubbed my stomach to change the subject, “Take me to eat something first, I haven’t eaten anything so far this afternoon and I’m really close to being deflated.”
