Chapter 360: I Don't Need Your Help

ly slept all night, having broken dreams on and off.In her dream, many years ago when they were still in love, Zhuo Yu'an had asked her what she hoped their future child would be, a boy or a girl. She..."No need." Shū Tínglan had gone through several interviews after being rejected. While she wasn't discouraged, she was a bit tired. She had an indomitable spirit, stubbornly refusing to use her connections to secure a job. She wanted to see just how difficult it would be for a mother to find work without any resources.

The law firms she interviewed with these days made her deeply feel how much ridicule and scorn a stay-at-home mom faces when trying to re-enter the workforce. Even though she had been working before becoming a stay-at-home mom, she still experienced discrimination because of her child during her job search.

"Got a goal"

"Well, I'm aiming for Lan Yuan Law Firm." She was confident she could get in, even though she got rejected in the first round of interviews today.

Zuo Yu'an originally wanted to say that they could introduce her to Lan Yuanlü since all their collaborations were within reach, it was just a matter of his saying a word, but he anticipated she wouldn't accept, so he simply said: "Let me know if you need any help."

"Having said that, he couldn't help but emphasize again: "Tinglan, we are a family."

Shu Tinglan didn't retort any further. They now lived under the same roof, with the children's father and mother calling out to each other, and even sleeping in the same bed every night. If she were to argue again, it would seem petty.

As for going to Blue Yuan Law Firm, she had her own plan. Going for an interview was just a way to scout the place. In fact, because she had handled two cases in Senzhou before and knew Han, the head of the Senzhou Lawyers Association, through Lawyer Sun's introduction, she went to visit Han during her recent trip there.

He is no longer the self-righteous person he used to be, of course, relationships that need to be maintained should be maintained. When Director Han heard she wanted to go to Lan Yuan Law Firm, he immediately said happily,

“Not bad, Xia Shu has a good eye. The scope of operations at Lan Yuan Law Firm is most suitable for you. Your handling of that wrongful case from 18 years ago was outstanding. Lan Xiao Shan, the founder of Lan Yuan, had inquired about you before, wanting to recruit you. Unfortunately, you were unwilling to develop in Senzhou back then.”

At that time, Director Han wanted to introduce her to Lan Xiaoshan of Blue Yuan Law Firm. However, Lan Xiaoshan was on a business trip out of town and would have to wait until he returned to meet. So Shu Tinglan went ahead and sent her resume for an interview to see, but she didn't expect to be rejected in the first round by HR.

Zhu Yu'an was a little unhappy.

“You go ask Director Han for help, you don't even need my help”

"Director Han is well-respected among us. It's only natural that I'd ask him for an introduction, since you're not in the same circles. Asking someone like you, who isn't part of our industry, would be considered using your position for personal gain."

"That's a twisted argument! Asking Director Han for help is abusing power, but asking me for help No one can say anything about that."

I am you, and you are me; in his heart, we are one.

But she didn't think so. She kept everything separate from him, rejecting his work arrangements, his introductions to resources. For as long as she'd been back in Senzhou, every time she passed by the Zhuo Yuan Technology building, she wanted to take a detour.

... to the point that Cui Jie couldn't help but ask him, "Miss Shu really lives with you" ...

Well, living together like this was actually a bit cruel for him. Every night, the two little ones would insist on him lying down with them to tell them stories. Neither mom nor dad was allowed to leave, so the four of them squeezed onto one bed. He could hold them every night, but because of the kids around, he couldn't do anything. Especially since someone wasn't cooperating at all.

Ms. Cui, being experienced, probably understood the situation at a glance. She smiled and instructed her secretary's assistant

"Go to the pharmacy and buy a box of Longdan Xiegan Wan."

Assistant asked: "Ms. Cui, are you on fire"

Secretary Cui: "No, Director Zhu has a fever. You didn't see the pimple that popped up on his cheek"

Her words happened to be heard by Lu Kuo, who was visiting Zhuo Yu'an. Lu Kuo had a look of schadenfreude on his face.

"Oh, Ms. Cui, you've been abroad for a long time but haven't forgotten the vastness and profundity of our traditional Chinese medicine. The Longdan Xiegan Wan is good, it can clear liver fire and improve vision. Also, buy some more Niuhuang Jiedu Pian, Huanglian Shangqing Wan, and honeysuckle, just in case your Mr. Zhuo needs them."

Sister Cui was giggling from the side, while the little assistant looked confused, wondering what to buy.

After teasing, Lu Kuo still acted fearless and deliberately leaned in front of Zhuo Yu'an, sizing up his face from left to right while muttering disapprovingly.

“It's not just the acne on your face, these dark circles tell me you haven't been getting enough sleep.”

"You **ing get out!" Zhu YUAN couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed a pen from the pen holder on his desk and threw it at Lu Kuò. There was no one as gloating as him.

Lu Kuo stretched out his hand and caught the very expensive pen, then casually put it into his pocket. He would take it back later to give to his old man at home.

He was so depressed. Zuo Yu'an suddenly had these adorable twins, his father was practically crying tears of joy. Now whenever he sees him, he urges him to find a partner and get married ASAP. He used to have all sorts of demands for his future wife, but now, it doesn't matter. As long as she has a decent family background, is female, alive, and can give birth to twins, that's good enough.

The first few were easy to find, but what the heck is having twins Is that something he can control

So seeing this culprit, Zhu Yu'an, made me very angry.

"Do you know how Teacher Cheng brags about your child in the Beijing circle It made my old man green with envy."nitely playing a game. He meant something more than just the alcohol.Remembering that Lawyer Shu had lived in Senzhou for so many years and was also the M&A lawyer for Zhuoyuan Technology, it's normal...
