Chapter 349 No wonder Cui Xiao acted like a dog

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to this young woman in her early twenties.

Other titles don't matter, but everyone knows how valuable the title "Sister Cui Xiao" is.

Several of Cui Xiao's close colleagues curiously stepped forward, looking Sun Lu up and down. One of them said, "Are you really Cui Xiao's sister?"

Sun Lu smiled, revealing a perfect smile. "Yes, I am Cui Xiao's half-sister. My name is Sun Lu, but you can call me Lulu."

Someone chimed in, "No wonder she's Assistant Cui's sister, she's so cute."

Sun Lu enjoyed hearing these compliments, and she was very pleased with them.

However, some people noticed something amiss: "How come I've never heard Assistant Cui mention having a younger sister before?"

Sun Lu smiled gently, "My sister has always been independent, so it's normal that she doesn't talk about her family. By the way, where's my sister?"

Sun Lu's appearance caused an uproar throughout the law firm, and the HR manager personally came out to see what was going on.

The HR manager said, "Are you really Cui Xiao's sister? If you are, how come you didn't even know she resigned?"

Cui Xiao actually resigned?

Was he fired?

I thought Cui Xiao was so capable, but it turns out she couldn't escape being fired either. It seems her abilities were all just talk.

Sun Lu looked down on Cui Xiao in her heart, but always appeared harmless on the surface. "My sister actually resigned? She didn't tell the family. Maybe she was afraid they would worry."

The HR manager raised an eyebrow. "Really? Cui Xiao changed jobs, she didn't lose her job. Why would she be worried about her family?"

Sun Lu looked embarrassed, her smile almost faltering. "I don't know about that. My sister always has her own reasons for doing things."

The HR manager glanced at her again.

Over the years, Cui Xiao has never mentioned anything about her family, which suggests that she doesn't have a good relationship with them.

She didn't say much, but the person next to her reminded her, "Isn't there still no one to choose an assistant? Why don't we ask Lulu?"

Sun Lu's eyes lit up when she heard that.

Before the HR manager could speak, she eagerly asked, "Is the law firm hiring assistants? If so, I'd love to try it out. I'm sure I'll do a great job."

The HR manager hesitated.

I jokingly said before that it would be great if Cui Xiao had a younger sister.

But this younger sister in front of me doesn't seem like she has any ability at all.

Do you have work experience?

Sun Lu said sincerely, "I just graduated from university this year. Although I have no work experience, I have a strong learning ability. As long as you are willing to give me this opportunity, I will definitely not let you down."

The HR manager didn't speak, but frowned slightly.

Just then, Zhou Mubin came downstairs and saw this scene.

Sun Lu spotted Zhou Mubin at a glance.

He wore a sharply tailored dark suit, his shoulders were straight as a pine tree, and he stood upright. He seemed to be surrounded by an invisible low pressure, not a coldness of aloofness, but an aura of control. Even the casual movement of his fingertips on his cuffs revealed an undeniable sharpness.

His eyebrows and eyes were deep and dark, like an ink-stained pool. The corners of his eyes were slightly upturned with a hint of sharpness. His nose was high and straight, like a carefully carved piece of jade. His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and the lines were cold and hard. Yet, his jawline was clean and sharp.

Sun Lu stared intently, and at the same time, Zhou Mubin's gaze also turned towards them.

Everyone called out "Lawyer Zhou," and only then did Sun Lu realize that this was Zhou Mubin, a renowned lawyer in the legal circle.

He was also Cui Xiao's former boss.

No wonder Cui Xiao followed behind her like a dog; she admired such a divine appearance.

Sun Lu immediately stepped forward. "You must be Lawyer Zhou. I've often heard my sister mention you. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Sun Lu."

Zhou Mubin was a little confused, his expression cold and even irritable.

The HR manager then introduced her, saying, "Zhou Lu, she is Cui Xiao's younger sister."

Her sister?

Zhou Mubin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

His gaze lingered on Sun Lu for two seconds, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The girl in front of me wore a pale yellow dress, and when she smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, radiating vitality. She was the complete opposite of her sister, who always wore dark suits and exuded a serious and meticulous air in her speech and actions.

"Um."

Zhou Mubin gave a faint reply, his voice still tinged with the unease of his thoughts being interrupted, and continued walking forward.

Sensing this distance, Sun Lu took another half step forward, her backpack slung over her shoulder, and asked excitedly, "Attorney Zhou, my sister said you're incredibly skilled and have never lost a case. Is that true?"

As Sun Lu spoke, she subconsciously puffed out her chest, as if showing off her prized asset.

The HR manager, watching from the side, felt somewhat awkward. She gently tugged at Sun Lu's arm and whispered, "Sun Lu, Attorney Zhou is leaving now, you..."

"Huh? Are you going to have lunch?" Sun Lu smiled and took out a piece of beef jerky in a transparent bag from her canvas bag, handing it to him. "Zhou Lu, this is beef jerky my mom made herself. You can have some to tide you over."

Zhou Mubin never eats products with no production date or product name on the transparent bag.

His brows furrowed even more, and just as he was about to refuse, Sun Lu said again, "My sister loves my mother's homemade beef jerky the most. Zhou Lu, it's delicious, you should try it."

What is Cui Xiao's favorite beef jerky?

Suddenly, Zhou Mubin wanted to try her favorite flavor.

He looked down at the bag of beef jerky and, for the first time ever, took a bite.

The beef jerky was hard and had a strong flavor, not to Zhou Mubin's liking. However, it was Cui Xiao's favorite flavor.

Thinking about it, Zhou Mubin took another piece.

Seeing this, Sun Lu's smile widened, and she seized the opportunity to say, "Attorney Zhou, I heard that your law firm is hiring assistants. Can I give it a try?"

Zhou Mubin's lips stiffened, and the emotion on his face faded somewhat.

The HR manager quickly smoothed things over, "Sun Lu, the assistant position might require some experience. You just graduated and need more experience. If you're looking for a job, I can keep an eye out for interns at other companies for you."

She wouldn't go to other companies to start as an intern; not only would she not get paid, but she would also be bullied by senior employees, which would be both bitter and tiring.

Seeing that Zhou Mubin hadn't made a statement, Sun Lu continued to plead for herself, regardless of what the HR manager said. "Attorney Zhou, please, just give me this chance, okay? If I don't do well, you can fire me. You won't lose anything."

Zhou Mubin looked at Sun Lu, having his own plans in mind.

Without further hesitation, he said, "Let's give it a try."

Sun Lu danced with excitement, "Thank you, Lawyer Zhou, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Then, Zhou Mubin walked straight ahead to the elevator door, pressed the down button, but out of the corner of his eye he saw that Sun Lu was still standing there.
