Chapter 35 - No, Thank You
"Can you repeat what you say, boss?" Ling Yue pushed her glasses. This morning, Du Zhuang called her to his office to speak. With a very serious face, he explained all the consequences of terminating the contract, breach of agreement, disobedience, and other criminal penalties that Ling Yue had memorized by heart. Du Zhuang explicitly frightened Ling Yue if she refused what he was going to say later, and sure enough, Ling Yue was ready to reject it outright if Du Zhuang repeated his words just now.
"I said, you will be part of the King Empire legal team representing DuChen and from tomorrow, you will not need to come here again. King Empire has prepared a room for you there. They assume you have saved the company's image and asked you to replace An Ruan," Du Zhuang repeated each word slowly.
To be honest, he was not willing to 'lend' Ling Yue. But yesterday, his highly respected senior called and asked him to send Ling Yue to King Empire. If it wasn't for the debt he owed Senior Shi, he would have flatly refused the request. Ling Yue had just joined his firm, they only worked briefly, but Du Zhuang felt Ling Yue was one of his most precious diamond that hides its sparkle, waiting for the right time to shine. And Du Zhuang wants to see it under his supervision, not someone else.
"You will go there tomorrow," Du Zhuang submit a file containing a job offer letter at King Empire which he signed. Ling Yue ignored him.
"No, thank you. You have to tell them that their reasons doesn't make sense. I'm not trying to save the company's image or anything."
Du Zhuang strengthened his heart, then handed over the other files. The file contained the company agreement letter with Ling Yue when she first worked here that she had signed herself. Ling Yue saw the point which he marked.
"You can't do this boss. I don't want to go there. There are still cases that I haven't finished." Ling Yue half whined after seeing it. At the marked point wrote : The partner must be willing to represent the firm, take responsibility so as not to cause unlimited loss.
"You choose. Go there or go to prison."
Ling Yue stopped whining immediately. Her face was sullen, her expression turned ugly. Ling Yue didn't want to go to the new environment after she managed to adapt well here. She hates being in the 'new person' position the most. Something flashed on her mind and Ling Yue increasingly fidgeting.
"I don't know anyone there, " her voice squeaked. She knews Xi Jian, but he was the boss. There's no way Ling Yue'd dealing with her boss every day, right? If there was someone like An Ruan there, she believes there would be a second, third, or fourth An Ruan's. Competition in the upper classes was really sickening.
"When you join here, you also didn't know anyone. Now lift your butt, pack and take some rest. If necessary, go to the salon to ... " Du Zhuang moved his five fingers in front of his face. "...make a little change, if you look like that, they will treat you arbitrarily." competition between lawyers and paralegals in looking for faces at the top companies were no joke, Du Zhuang wants Ling Yue leave and return in one piece.
Ling Yue pushed back her chair, stood up and came out without turning her head. She will go there anyway like this. If they were not satisfied with her appearance, then Ling Yue would be sent back as soon as possible. With thoughts like that, she packed up and left the office.
