Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

A few days later, Lu Xuan visited his father in his office as it was his old man’s birthday. His mother made sure that he still remembered that it was his dad’s birthday and he went to meet him. He was actually thinking of driving to Lu house to wish his father but then he found out that his father devised to celebrate his birthday by working to death.

“Happy birthday, dad, “Lu Xuan wished and hugged him. “I wanted to see you at Lu house but Auntie said you are still working on your special day. Can you please pay attention to your health? You are not young anymore. You need to work less now.”

He was very worried about his father who had no care for his health. He couldn’t help but stress about it.

“Thank you, Ah Xuan, “Lu Zhaolin smiled and took the gift that his son brought for him, completely ignoring the lecture. “This year, I’m too busy for a birthday party. I thought no one would remember my birthday.”

“I agree that I have a bad memory but not that bad, “Lu Xuan grunted. He added as he saw his father checking the time, “You look as if you are in a hurry.”

“Oh no, I can spare a few minutes for my son who is too busy with his work to visit me, “Lu Zhaolin immediately said.

“Same goes for you, dad, “Lu Xuan argued.

Lu Zhaolin sighed and adjusted his glasses. “You are right. I want to retire but I feel empty without work. I have worked too much in my life that I can’t stay away from it now. Today, we are interviewing for several posts.'”

“Then, I must be taking your time, “Lu Xuan replied.

“Oh no, “Lu Zhaolin waved his hand as if it was not a big matter. “The first interview shift is for interns. My staff can interview them. It’s just the interview at noon that’s important. We are hiring for senior-level posts.”

“I heard Mr Cao left the firm, “Lu Xuan commented.

“Yes, Mr Cao is moving to Shanghai. He got a good offer and left, “Lu Zhaolin nodded his head. “Good criminal Lawyers are hard to find these days.”

“Your firm is the best here, “Lu Xuan said with a smile. “I’m sure many people will be eyeing the position Mr Cao left. “

Lu Zhaolin chuckled. “Is that why you chose business over law?”

“Dad, you know the law is not for me, “Lu Xuan sighed.

“Yeah, you will make a terrible lawyer. You love breaking rules, “Lu Zhaolin replied with a nod.

“Thanks for the praise, father, “Lu Xuan sarcastically said.

Lu Zhaolin realised late that his son was not made for law. He just wanted his child to carry forward his legacy but he soon realised that Lu Xuan wasn’t going to be a good lawyer. It would be better if he entered the field he was good in.

He was glad that An Xiulan took law. The girl had a talent for words. She could make an impressive lawyer. Her GPA of law school was enough to tell him that he was right. The girl improved herself by leaps and bounds in college. She was not the same silly and naive girl like she was in high school.

The father and son talked for about half an hour and then Lu Xuan left as he had an important meeting.

“Sir, the CEO wants to know if you are joining the interview panel, “The secretary asked as she entered the office.

The NL law firm was founded by Lu Zhaolin and his partner Ning Wai around twenty years ago. Ning Wai and Lu Zhaolin were top lawyers at that time and they chose to focus on cases while they appointed Ning Wai’s wife, Kelly as the CEO at that time. Today, Kelly has retired and the Ning couple’s only daughter Amanda Ning is the CEO of the NL firms. Lu Zhaolin’s father was a great lawyer back in his days and he was the reason why he established the law firm.

“Yes, I will be joining them in a moment, “Lu Zhaolin said.

“Miss Ning is joining the panel too, “His secretary let out.

“Why?” Lu Zhaolin furrowed his brow.

“She wants someone capable to succeed Mr Cao, “The Secretary answered.

“Cao Shuang was good, no doubt. But not so good that NL won’t find anyone to replace him, “Lu Zhaolin said. “We still have Mr Long and we shouldn’t forget that Cao Shuang learned everything from him.”

“Yes, sir, “The secretary said but she didn’t look very convinced. It seemed she shared the same thoughts as Amanda Ning.

Amanda and Lu Zhaolin met on the way to the interview room.

“Mr Lu, what do you think about Mr Ming?” Amanda asked as they walked together. “It will be great if he joins us.”

“If you had already selected the candidate, what’s the point of conducting an interview?” Lu Zhaolin asked her. He didn’t care if his words hurt anyone. He was just too blunt and straightforward.

Amanda didn’t say anything more. Handling some as blunt and too straightforward as Lu Zhaolin wasn’t an easy feat. As one of the partners and prestigious lawyers of the law firm, his influence was immeasurable. Moreover, her family respected him too much. He had a part in the decision-making of the company. If he refused her decision, she wouldn’t be able to do anything. After all, her parents would agree with him. For now, she was a CEO with no real powers as she didn’t hold any shares in hand.

The door to the interview room opened and both of them entered the room where they met the other three interviewers who held important posts in the company.
