"An outsider. A... former friend, but we're not in touch anymore," Ling Yiran said with a wry smile.
Lawyer Gu said thoughtfully, "You'll have to thank your friend. Without this person, you wouldn't be able to go back to working as a lawyer now."
Ling Yiran was relieved when she got out of Lawyer Gu's office. To be honest, she was worried that her new boss would insist on finding out who had helped her to reverse the case.
Back at her desk, Ling Yiran started getting used to the task at hand.
She had also worked as an assistant for half a year when she first joined the industry. She could adapt to the job quickly now that she was back at it. It may be a bit trivial, but it was not difficult.
Guan Lili sauntered up to her desk to say hello and beat around the bush about Yi Jinli, which Ling Yiran ignored.
At the end of the day, Ling Yiran was about to leave when Guan Lili said, "Hey, Ling Yiran has just joined us today. How about we hold a welcoming party for our new colleague?"
Someone chimed in at once, "Yeah, yeah! Let's welcome our new colleague!"
"Yes, it's rare to have a woman join us. We must welcome her well!"
"Let's go together!"
Ling Yiran was too embarrassed to refuse. After all, she was a newcomer, and some socializing was necessary. If she did not fit in on her first day, she would find it hard to stay in this job.
Besides, networking mattered for lawyers.
Therefore, even though it was Guan Lili who suggested it, which was clearly a hostile move, Ling Yiran had no choice but to agree.
