Chapter 597: Criteria for Choosing a Girlfriend

Ji Chuan: "Then you need to train more."

He said this with a cold face. Xu Hui didn't expect him to be serious. Could it be that asking her to work at the front desk was a cover and he wanted her to act?

"How can I train for this? It's beyond my scope of work. I've never acted out this kind of office romance before."

Xu Hui's tone was half teasing and half helpless.

Who can do this? Anytime, anywhere, acting out as they please. It won't last just one or two days. How long will it take? You never know when it will show its flaws.

He said calmly, "I didn't ask you to be the lead actor, just cooperate."

Xu Hui looked troubled. "How long will this performance last?"

"Who swore to me so confidently that they would be loyal and never give up? You just said it last night, and you forgot it after one night's sleep?"

His tone was not very good.

Xu Hui thought of the fixed monthly salary of 50,000 yuan and immediately adjusted his mindset. "Of course I forgot. I didn't say I was quitting. I was just worried that I wouldn't cooperate well and would be exposed. Okay, I'll try my best to get into the role as soon as possible."

He frowned for two seconds and then suddenly said, "Are you afraid of her?"

"What did she say to you when she came in just now?"

Xu Hui was trying to show her determination by speaking in a very tough tone. "Why should I, your legitimate girlfriend, be afraid of her? She just has a crush on you, but can't get your love, so she's just a little hostile towards me. She recognized me and said I was Sui Zhongyuan's mistress. I think she might spread my dark history."

"She doesn't dare."

Xu Hui: "I don't mind. The main thing is that it will bring shame on you. You are a well-known lawyer, clean and honest, and your girlfriend has been someone else's lover. If everyone in the firm knew about this, what would they think of you? They would think you were a big shot."

After she finished speaking, he didn't respond for a long time. He just stared at her deeply. Xu Hui couldn't tell what he was thinking. After waiting for a while, she heard him ask her, "What kind of girlfriend do you think I should find?"

Xu Hui's heart felt like it was suddenly poked. The corners of his mouth twitched stiffly, and he smiled, "That's a question... Putting aside family background, education, and work conditions, at the very least, she has to be clean and have a clean record, right?"

He stared at her straight, until the fake smile on her face slowly faded.

He averted his gaze, his eyes lowered, and his voice dropped a bit. "I've been a lawyer for ten years, handling hundreds of cases. What I've witnessed most is the complexity and diversity of human nature. Beauty, ugliness, good, evil... All worldly standards of judgment have long been shattered by me. Do you think I'd care about my girlfriend's background and origins when I look for a girlfriend?"

Xu Hui felt her cheeks burning hot, as if they were heated by a scorching breath. She could feel from the corner of her eye that he was looking at her, but her heart was so anxious that it felt like several wild horses were running around, and she didn't dare to look up and look at him.

She said bitterly, "The realm of a great lawyer is different from that of ordinary people. I'm just too vulgar."

After she finished speaking, she immediately changed the subject: "By the way, you haven't told me why you called me in just now?"

He slowly shifted his gaze from her face and was silent for a long time before Xu Hui heard his voice: "I'm going out this morning. There's a case going to court today."

Xu Hui nodded, "And then?"

His calm eyes swept across her face, and he said calmly, "These people are too curious, and they will inevitably come to you to ask questions. You don't have to pay attention to them. If you have anything, send me a message."

Xu Hui: "Okay, don't worry, I won't reveal any flaws."

He raised his eyes and looked at her seriously, "Get out."
