Chapter 359: Divorced with Children
charge, and are your fees high If they're expensive, forget it. I have a lawyer friend who's free. I just don't want to owe him a favor, you know, favors are the hardest debts to repay.""Whether my fe...Zuo Yu'an said very seriously, "The situation is different. Even if we return to Senzhou, we can't be careless. We must ensure their 100% safety."
We still don't know what's going on with Yi Muyang's side. He hasn't figured it out yet, so we don't know what dangers Tinglan and the children might face. It's better to be cautious.
Shu Tinglan didn't say anything more. The day after arriving in Senzhou, she went to look for Lao Ding, a friend of Yi Muyang in Senzhou, who was also Ding Zhi's cousin.
Old Ding asked three questions without knowing the answers. He asked if he knew about Yi Muyang's former enemies
Lao Ding seemed to be hearing a story from the East.
“Sister, are you joking That guy may have a bad temper and be sarcastic, but he always believes in making friends and doing good deeds. Many people consider him a benefactor and wouldn't hold any grudges against him.”
Making good connections and doing good deeds Shouldn't you praise him as a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering Shu Tinglan thought of Yi Muyang's appearance and couldn't connect those words with him. She then asked,
"Have you been in touch with your cousin Ding Zhi recently"
"No, he's always been a loner. We don't keep in touch very often." After finishing his answer, Lao Ding glanced at Shu Tinglan and then realized...
“Sister, why are you asking me about Achang If you have any questions, just ask him directly.”
"We broke up."
Old Ding's face was full of shock. He opened his mouth, wanting to speak but stopped himself, and finally said
“My cousin has been involved in border activities for the past few years. If A Chang is with him, nothing good will come of it.”
Old Ding didn't want to say much, although the whole family knew that Ding Zhi wasn't doing anything serious over there. He lost his job, his girlfriend left him, and he hadn't been home to see his parents in years. But after all, he was his own brother, so he didn't dare to speak out of turn.
"What does that mean" Shu Tinglan asked. At the border, could it still be related to the poaching gang Scarface from last time The black car and three people inside it that I saw in the car that day were indeed out of place.
"I'm not sure either, but rest assured, Aoyang knows what he's doing and wouldn't do anything reckless."
"Hmm."
As for Yi Muyang's predicament, Shu Tinglan was frantic but helpless. He wanted to conceal it and sever all ties with her, to disappear from her and the children's lives completely.
Even Liu Yi and Fu Tai didn't know what he was doing, they just said that he went to an out-of-town training camp with his team. No one at home suspected anything because he often disappeared for several months in the past.
worried about him, yet determined to start anew in Senzhou.
Zuo Yu'an wanted to arrange a job for her in the legal department of Zuo Yuan Technology, but she refused. Xiao, the director of Hongzheng Law Firm, and Zhou Ming knew she was back and enthusiastically extended an olive branch, welcoming her return, but she also refused them.
It wasn't that the conditions they offered weren't good enough, but rather that it didn't align with her career development. She had been primarily focusing on litigation cases these past few years and found value in that area, so she didn't want to give it up just like that. That's why she officially joined the ranks of job seekers.
There are many law firms in Senzhou, but only a few reputable red circle firms. As always, she wanted to join a red circle firm, but her academic qualifications were not as advantageous as others, and now she had several more fatal disadvantages compared to a few years ago.
She didn't leverage her previous resources to find a job at first, she just followed the usual process of applying for jobs through online platforms, getting invited for interviews. As a result, after interviewing with several companies, the questions were always the same, repetitive and uninspiring.
Today's interview was at Lan Yuan Law Firm. Although its overall strength is slightly inferior to Hong Zheng Law Firm, it excels in litigation, particularly commercial lawsuits, surpassing Hong Zheng Law Firm in this area. This aligns perfectly with Shu Tinglan's career aspirations, making her highly attentive to today's interview. After sending off her two children this morning, she rushed over.
The person interviewing her was from human resources, about the same age as her, dressed in a stylish and sophisticated urban woman's outfit, very professional.
After looking at her resume, the questions asked were similar to those from several previous interviews.
"Mr. Shu, you seem to change jobs quite frequently, almost every three years You went from corporate legal affairs to mergers and acquisitions at Hongzheng, then jumped to a litigation firm in the city. Could you tell us about the reasons behind each departure"
If it weren't for the difficulty in recruiting, HR wouldn't even want to glance at this resume. The most important thing in being a lawyer is to be patient and focus on one area of law, that's how you can develop. But her experience jumps around with no clear focus.
Shu Tinglan resigned from her first job proactively, but the other two at Hongzheng Law Firm and Sun's Law Firm were due to unavoidable circumstances that she couldn't explain. All she could say was that it was for personal reasons.
This excuse just seems very superficial because of the personal reason.
"Is Lawyer Shu divorced now and has two children Does that leave her with enough energy to devote to work Legal work is very demanding."
There is nothing wrong with her personal qualifications. From her resume, none of her hardware conditions are advantageous at all. Let alone entering a top-tier law firm, even ordinary firms would have to consider it carefully.
She also hopes that HR will look at her work experience, the influential cases she has handled, and the client resources she could bring directly if she joins.
She patiently showed the second half of her resume to HR, introducing her advantages.
The Human Resources manager, Guo Ran, glanced at the latter half of the case introduction with a hint of sarcasm.
"If Lawyer Shu has such extensive work experience, he should be a partner."
She was probably too young and pretty, plus she changed jobs frequently and was a single mother raising a child. HR Manager Guo Ran didn't believe at all that she had handled those cases independently. Guo Ran had worked at Lan Yuan Law Firm for nearly ten years, reviewing countless resumes and interviewing countless people. She was well-versed in the field and knew many applicants tended to exaggerate their past work experience during interviews. Even if they were just assistants helping lawyers with clerical work, they would boldly claim they had handled cases independently.
She looked at Shu Tinglan's case files. There were several complex cases of innocent defense, and she didn't believe for a moment that Shu Tinglan had completed them independently.
"Lawyer Shu, then that's all for today. You go back and wait for our notice." Guo Ran said this, meaning she had failed the interview at this stage and didn't even get a chance for a second round.
Shu Tinglan wasn't angry either. She calmly took back her resume and said goodbye to Guo Ran.
Her goodbye meant she would definitely see them again.
Zhuo Yu'an knew she had been looking for a job recently, going out for interviews frequently. It seemed like she had been facing constant setbacks, so she looked rather listless and downcast. He could understand, actually. The workplace pressure on women now was immense, especially those like her who seemed to have unstable work histories and were young mothers with two children. Employers would often view them through a biased lens, regardless of their actual abilities.
I felt sorry for her, so I couldn't help but ask.
