Ning Shu was able to come up with solutions for anything according to the provisions of the law. The two women debated like they were competitors in court.

  They stayed in the cafe for a long time.

  Ning Shu very much respected the female boss. She led a life that many women would envy and admire.

  Both of them talked for so long that they became thirsty again. After drinking two glasses of water, the female boss said to Ning Shu, “You can go to work in the law firm tomorrow. At your level, you could go to court. After the internship period is over, you should quickly take the exam for your lawyer’s certificate.”


  “Thank you, boss,” Ning Shu said gratefully.

  “My name is Qiu Li. Everyone calls me Sister Li, so you can call me that too,” Sister Li said.

  Ning Shu said with some surprise, “Sister Li, I may be older than you. I’m almost 30.”


  “I’m thirty-two,” Sister Li said.

  Ning Shu smiled and shouted, “Sister Li.”


  Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally able to go to work. She could even take her child with her. Ning Shu was glad that she was a capable lawyer. If she couldn’t pass Sister Li’s test today, she wouldn’t have been able to enjoy such treatment.

  Sister Li told Ning Shu to go to the law firm tomorrow and not to be late, then she left.

  Ning Shu also left the cafe and went to the mall to buy an OL suit, which made her look capable and experienced.

  The law firm was in the city center and Ning Shu’s house was in the suburbs. Due to the distance, it took half an hour to get from one location to the other by car.

  Sister Li was a very capable woman. The land in the city center was very expensive, so the building must have cost a lot of money.

  Early the next morning, Ning Shu made sure that everything was in order and took the child with her to work.

  Ning Shu took a deep breath. She’d already taken her first step forward. Things would definitely get better and better in the future.

  Ning Shu went to work with the child on her back. She attracted a lot of weird looks.

  As a trainee lawyer, Ning Shu’s job was mainly to run errands and organize documents.

  Sister Li didn’t give Ning Shu any special treatment either. When she saw Ning Shu, she pretty much ignored her.

  Ning Shu didn’t care. She currently brought nothing of value to the firm, so being accepted was already a good start.

  However, it was exhausting having the child at work. She would start howling for different reasons, sometimes because her diaper needed to be changed, other times because she was hungry.

  As soon as the child cried, Ning Shu would take her out of the office. It disturbed the other workers, who ended up complaining.

  After a week, many people went to Sister Li to complain about Ning Shu, but Sister Li shut them all down.

  Ning Shu would sometimes hear women badmouthing her in the bathroom, saying that she was so poor and crazy that she brought her child to work, which affected everyone else’s ability to work.

  Ning Shu was speechless. These people weren’t polite when working with her, but she still carried out all of her tasks properly.

  Most of the attacks women encountered came from other women.

  Ning Shu opened the door. She looked at the women who were putting on makeup and said lightly, “Although I’m poor and crazy, I don’t believe that you won’t also get pregnant and have children in the future.”


  The women looked at Ning Shu with contempt. As a matter of fact, these women weren’t very capable people, at most they were clerks or handled the paperwork.

  The truly capable people simply had no time to gossip. They were busy taking cases, going to court, and negotiating with their clients.

  As long as she could survive through the internship period, Ning Shu could get a lawyer’s certificate and work as a lawyer.

  “Why’s a divorced woman being so haughty? You’re just an old hag who’s past her prime,” a woman said disdainfully. “Were you hiding in there to breastfeed your child? Pfft…”
