Chapter 1907: The System
Ning Shu couldn’t understand why her colleagues called her an old hag. She hadn’t offended these people much, nor had her performance at work caused any trouble. She had done everything that she should.
As an intern, any employee could direct her to run errands for them. Some people just thought that she wasn’t pleasing to the eye.
Some people just liked to attack others. They gained satisfaction in hurting those who were weaker than themselves.
There was a hierarchy in the law firm, and the gold level lawyers who went to court were at the top.
Clerks like these women were at the lowest level of the system. Right now, Ning Shu was just a trainee lawyer. She was called a lawyer, but in fact, she was just someone who did all kinds of odd jobs. She would do anything. Moreover, she was also a divorced worker who took her child to work, and who always smelled of milk.
These people felt that they were nobler than Ning Shu, and they found a sense of superiority in looking down on her.
Ning Shu said expressionlessly, “I am an old hag, but I don’t believe that you guys won’t ever grow old. Soon, you’ll all be old witches too.”
Ning Shu went to the sink, washed her hands, and left. If you had free time, you might as well do more work. As long as she completed the internship, Ning Shu could receive a lawyer’s certificate.
Sister Li occasionally asked Ning Shu how her work was going. Ning Shu just nodded and said that all was well.
Ning Shu worked as an intern for more than half a year. After that time, Sister Li told Ning Shu to test for a certificate.
Sister Li took the initiative to help Ning Shu look after her child while she went for the exam.
Nannan was now 12 months old. She was able to crawl around and could walk a couple steps by herself with the support of a wall. Compared to the baby who died after half a year in the plot, this child was doing much better. At least she was alive.
Now that the child was weaned and was able to have milk powder and some complimentary food, Ning Shu released a sigh of relief. To be honest, she really didn’t like breastfeeding her child.
Ning Shu’s exam went very well. It didn’t take long for her to get her lawyer’s qualification certificate.
Ning Shu couldn’t hide her excitement when she received her certificate. She had now taken the first steps in changing her fate. Things would definitely improve in the future.
At this time, lawyers could still make money as long as they had strong professional skills. To be honest, the law was just something for the rich to play around with. The rich and powerful had the tools to win any lawsuit and gain a lot of benefits.
After obtaining her lawyer’s qualification certificate, Ning Shu invited Sister Li to dinner. Sister Li didn’t refuse. However, probably because she was worried that Ning Shu didn’t have that much money to treat her to a meal, Sister Li asked Ning Shu to just casually find a restaurant.
Ning Shu found a Chinese restaurant with a pretty good environment. When she saw the place, Sister Li raised her eyebrows and said, “You have the money to invite me to this kind of place? The food here isn’t cheap.”
Ning Shu held the child and smiled. She said, “To thank you for giving me this opportunity, I must treat you to a meal.”
“It was nothing much. My firm lacks good lawyers anyway,” Sister Li said indifferently. “It’s hard to care for a child by yourself, right?”
“It’s pretty hard, but I can only continue on like this,” Ning Shu said. With a child, her hands would be tied no matter what she did.
It was said that with a child, a woman’s career would stagnate.
“It’s hard being a woman,” Sister Li said with a sigh.
Ning Shu laughed. “Actually, I envy you.”
“What’s there to envy? I have to worry about the firm’s work every day and to tell you the truth, I’m also divorced,” Sister Li said.
