Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

An Xiulan was studying her rivals’ faces as the result had yet to be declared. Among these ten people, only three would be selected to work under Mr Long. Her gaze stilled on a man in a dark suit who was sitting there with a cold expression on his face. She knew him. Actually, she knew of him. His name was Zhang Yiming. He topped the bar exam three years ago. He was poached by another law firm where he was not treated well.

Once the agreement with the firm ended, he left it for NL. She heard other people discussing that he had to leave because the CEO of his old firm was using him to establish the future of his daughter who had no talent for a lawyer. She really felt bad for this man. His talents were used by someone else.

If she was selected for the job, there was a high chance that they would be on the same team. She could certainly say that Zhang Yiming would be selected by NL. The firm would be stupid to let a talent like him go away.

A few minutes later, the interview panel left the room and one among them came to reveal the results.

“Zhang Yiming. Ming Jun. An Xiulan. You three are selected.”

A round of applause was heard from the three of them.

“For the rest of the seven contests. We wish you all the best for the future.”

The intern came with water once the result was announced. “Seems like you are selected. All the best.”

An Xiulan smiled at her and took the water glass.

The three of them decided to sign the contract the same day with the law firm. Since they wanted a job here, they didn’t mind signing the contract right now. Mr Long, the senior lawyer under whom the three of them would be working, came to meet the three candidates.

“Since you all are selected, come to work from tomorrow, ” Mr Long said without wasting any time. “I won’t bear any slacking.”

Amanda chuckled. “Mr Long, you are impatient.”

“Well, my desk is filled with cases. I need lawyers to deal with them, “Mr Long said and went back to his office. He really didn’t like wasting his precious time.

“Mr Long worships his work. He has nothing to do with anything else, “Amanda said to the newly hired employees. “Welcome to NL.”

The three selected candidates nodded their heads. There was a content smile on their lips which said they achieved their dreams.

Zhang Yiming was the first one to leave after signing the contract. Ming Jun went to talk to Amanda after that as he was the same candidate she had been talking about with Lu Zhaolin. Meanwhile, An Xiulan was still reading the contract agreement.

Lu Zhaolin sighed as he looked at his daughter who had gotten so big that she comes and goes according to her wishes now. She didn’t even think that it was important to inform him that she was interviewed in his office for a job. What could he even say to her? She was a big girl now!

An Xiulan was about to leave after signing the contract when she heard a strict voice, “Don’t even think about leaving, you brat!”

Amanda turned her head to look at a very angry Lu Zhaolin. She furrowed her brows as she didn’t understand what was going on. However, she could tell that something didn’t look normal with Mr Lu. He had been on pins and needles throughout the entire interview.

“If I don’t leave now, I will be disowned by your ex-wife, “An Xiulan said with a smile. She walked to him and hugged him, “Happy birthday, Daddy. How is your birthday gift?”

“Silly girl, “He hugged her back. He looked at her properly and said, “Next time please give me a head up. You come and go like a storm. I would have come to meet you at the airport.”

An Xiulan smiled widely at him. “Daddy, do you know what rhymes with criminalize? It’s surprise!”

“Do you know you still suck at rhyming games, ” He sighed. “How are you?”

“Amazing! By the way, daddy, do you mind giving your car keys to me?” An Xiulan questioned him. “I have an international driving license.”

Lu Zhaolin narrowed his eyes at her but in the end, took out his car keys from his suit pocket and handed them to her.

She broke the hug and sashayed away waving at him. “See you soon. Don’t spoil my surprise, daddy.”

“Mr Lu, are you acquainted with her?” Amanda asked. Even though she heard a bit of their conversation, she couldn’t say that this uptight man behaved so gently with a girl. It was something she hadn’t expected from a blunt lawyer like him.

“That heartless girl is my daughter, “Lu Zhaolin muttered. She was heartless enough to not spend time with him.

“Is that why you decided to not participate in her selection?” Amanda asked him in surprise.

“I don’t want anyone to say that my daughter entered through the back door or that she is using my influence, “Lu Zhaolin replied in a crystal clear tone. “She won’t like it. Moreover, I won’t like it. She worked hard to reach this place. I want her to achieve everything on her own.”

“I thought you only had two sons, “Amanda mumbled. “By the way, happy birthday to you.”

Lu Zhaolin nodded and went back to his office. He was thinking of completing his work early to take several days off. However, before that, he contacted the HR team and asked them to have the new lawyers work from next week.

An Xiulan must be jet-lagged. How would she join the office from tomorrow? Moreover, she had returned home after so long. She needed some time for herself and her family. The office could wait for a few days.

The HR department was surprised to find such clear-cut instructions from him.
