Chapter 79 "Everything about her..."

Lin Chaoyue walked out of the restroom a step later, but Nie Shanshan was already gone.

A long-haired girl walked by, but two corridors away.

The person looks somewhat familiar.

By the time Lin Chaoyue wanted to take a closer look, she had already gotten on the elevator.

"Did I not sleep well last night? Am my eyes playing tricks on me?"

Given the tense relationship between Pei Shuwen and the Pei family, why would Pei Xue appear at the law firm?

It's definitely not her.

Lin Chaoyue didn't pay attention to this little incident and went back to her workstation to open Word.

She was overjoyed at the thought of her account balance. She had written a thousand words of reflection on the movie Pei Shuwen had assigned her yesterday.

First, she expressed her highest respect for the anti-fraud work, and then she expressed her gratitude to the public servants who helped her recover the huge sum of money, saying, "Thank you, police officers!"

After finishing, she nodded in satisfaction: "Hmm, it's really well written."

Pei Shuwen told her to finish writing and hand it directly to Secretary Wu, but she felt it was very necessary for her to show it to Pei Shuwen in person.

To express my gratitude.

Lin Chaoyue hummed a little tune as she happily connected to the computer for printing.

As soon as the printer started running, Qin Wen from the Human Resources Department arrived on this floor with an imposing presence.

Almost everyone fell silent the moment they noticed her arrival.

"Come with me in a moment."

When Lin Chaoyue heard that Nie Shanshan was being mentioned, she immediately shrank back, completely unlike the energetic person she had been when she first arrived that morning.

"Okay, I'll go with you now."

Qin Wen walked ahead in ten-centimeter high heels, while Nie Shanshan followed quietly behind like a kitten. The two of them happened to pass by Lin Chaoyue.

Nie Shanshan originally wanted to make a face at Lin Chaoyue while looking mournful.

Qin Wen turned around abruptly: "The office area needs to maintain a serious atmosphere. Lawyer Nie, you go and wait for me."

Nie Shanshan slipped away very quickly.

Just as Lin Chaoyue was wondering what Qin Wen was going to do next, she found herself standing right in front of her.

"Lawyer Lin, your business trip this afternoon has been approved. Remember to sign and confirm online before noon."

"Me? On a business trip?" How come she didn't know?

Qin Wen didn't explain, but casually said, "Check your emails promptly. If you have any questions, you can ask your direct supervisor."

According to the current organizational structure.

Lin Chaoyue's direct superior should be Pei Shuwen.

Qin Wen arrived with an aura of complete confidence, and left with the same aura of complete confidence.

Lin Chaoyue returned to her workstation with a puzzled look and opened her work email.

There was indeed a business trip application. She clicked on it and found that the applicant was Secretary Wu, and the business trip location was the Intermediate People's Court in the South Third District.

South Third District?

That's the district where Mom's company is located.

I checked the location on the map; the courthouse is three kilometers away from the restaurant my aunt booked for lunch today.

Then she doesn't need to rush back if she goes there today.

I just don't know what specific work has been assigned to her.

But no matter what kind of work it is, it must be Pei Shuwen's 'special care', since this person clearly said this morning that he wouldn't ask for leave for himself.

Lin Chaoyue silently gave Pei Shuwen a few more "good guy" cards in her mind, and happily carried her review upstairs.

Her workstation is on the seventh floor, Pei Shuwen's office is on the twelfth floor, and recently the entire human resources department also moved to the twelfth floor.

As soon as Lin Chaoyue stepped out of the elevator, she saw Nie Shanshan walking out of the new HR office with a dejected look on her face.

"You're back so soon!"

"If I stay here for another two minutes, I can go and die."

As she spoke, Nie Shanshan shoved the papers in her hand into hers: "Here, a warning letter. I was planning to come in the afternoon, but I was forced to sign it this morning. That's the downside of working at a law firm; the HR department is full of people who are all majors in labor law."

It's called a warning letter, but it's really just a notification.

Lin Chaoyue quickly scanned the text, mainly focusing on Nie Shanshan's repeated irregularities in submitting approvals for fieldwork.

The rule about not discussing personal matters during work hours was mentioned, but it felt more like a template.

"Is this the email warning you received this morning? Where does it say you shouldn't gossip?"

Not seeing the front, Lin Chaoyue flipped it over to check the back.

Still haven't seen it.

“You don’t understand. Pei Lu is subtly warning me through the personnel department. It’s a strategy to avoid giving me any leverage.”

"..." Lin Chaoyue: "Are you sure you're not just making things up because you feel guilty?"

"Go away, no way! From now on, I'm going to turn over a new leaf and start anew. I'll never gossip again. From now on, I'll be immune to gossip. My life will consist of nothing but work. Attorney Lin, aren't you going to deliver documents to Secretary Wu? I'm too busy to keep you company."

Let's be reasonable.

Lin Chaoyue didn't believe a single word of any of these statements.

She shrugged and was about to go to Pei Shuwen's secretary's office when Nie Shanshan hurriedly followed her.

"Wait for me."

Lin Chaoyue teased, "Aren't you so busy with important matters? You still have time to make me wait?"

"Look, look! Wasn't that Pei Lu just walking by? And that woman next to him, could she be Pei Lu's fiancée?"

The person who said they would stay away from gossip is now looking like they're all gossipy.

"I think it's because she has such a great figure, no wonder she's a rich heiress. How come we don't have that kind of temperament?"

Nie Shanshan clicked her tongue twice, then stared at Lin Chaoyue and clicked her tongue twice more.

The meaning behind that tone was self-evident.

Lin Chaoyue chuckled: "Not all rich heiresses have class."

In their circle, apart from Yao Yao who has a good temperament because she plays musical instruments, there aren't many others who have such temperament. Among a group of rich second-generation kids, there are those like her who are lazy and do nothing, and those like Mu Qiao who are indiscriminate in their private lives.

Those who were more ambitious went to work in factories to inherit the family business, while others spent their days working at the grassroots level, looking disheveled and exhausted.

Nie Shanshan: "You don't understand. You'll understand when you have money in the future. Right now, we're only considered well-off. If we work hard and become rich, our aura will definitely skyrocket."

Lin Chaoyue shrugged: "I don't understand, you, Attorney Nie, do."

"Alright, learn and observe more. I don't easily pass on my skill of recognizing people; I charge tuition for it."

Lin Chaoyue didn't need to look to know that it definitely wasn't Pei Shuwen's fiancée.

She didn't take it too seriously and went straight into Secretary Wu's office.

Secretary Wu probably didn't expect Lin Chaoyue to come up directly. She was stunned when she saw her, and only after glancing outside and seeing that no one was in Pei Shuwen's office did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Chaoyue: "Pei Lu asked me to give this to you."

Secretary Wu glanced at the contents and put it down: "Okay, I'll send it to Lawyer Pei later."

Lin Chaoyue: "I saw the email about the official trip. It was Pei Lu who applied for it for me?"

"Yes, there's some information I need you to deliver to the Intermediate People's Court of the Third District of South," Secretary Wu said, taking a sealed kraft paper bag from the side.

There was a thick stack inside, which looked like submitted evidence.

Lin Chaoyue took it and weighed it in her hand; it wasn't heavy. "Is this all?"

"Yes, that's all. It's not convenient to write specific information on the approval form for official travel applications. Please wait a moment while I send you the contact information of the court staff to your email privately."

“I was supposed to make the trip today, but Pei Lu said it’s on your way, so I’ll trouble you to make the trip.”

Lin Chaoyue: "It's alright. I have something to do in the South Third District at noon, so I won't be in a rush to come back this afternoon. Besides, Pei Lu is entertaining guests, so it's inconvenient without you here."

Secretary Wu smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything.

Although Lin Chaoyue found Secretary Wu's unusual behavior a bit strange, she didn't ask any further questions and walked out with the file bag in her hand.

Nie Shanshan hadn't left yet.

Seeing Lin Chaoyue come out, he waved wildly at her from the stairwell.

Lin Chaoyue was puzzled when Nie Shanshan pulled her inside: "Shh, don't talk, just look."

What are you looking at?

Nie Shanshan pointed with a smug look on her face: "Look, I told you that's Pei Lu's fiancée. The two of them are almost hugging each other."

?

Pei Shuwen's office door was open, and this time she saw it clearly.

It really is Pei Xue.

Lin Chaoyue squinted and didn't move. As Pei Xue approached little by little, she hugged Pei Shuwen just as he was about to dodge.

Holy crap! That's amazing!

Nie Shanshan took out her phone to take a picture.

But remembering the warning he had just received, he reluctantly stopped before even opening the camera, his tone full of regret: "What a pity, what a real pity. Such a juicy piece of gossip can't be shared with the forum members. If I had known, I wouldn't have said I would stake out Pei Lu's house. With my luck in gossiping, I wouldn't have needed to go through all that trouble. I could have just picked up the gossip without a second thought."

Nie Shanshan muttered a bunch of things.

Lin Chaoyue, who was standing to the side, remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't worry, this place is so far from Pei Lu's office, and the stairwell door is closed. Keep your voice down, they definitely won't hear you."

But Lin Chaoyue remained silent.

When she turned around again, she saw Lin Chaoyue first curse "shameless" expressionlessly, then forcefully push open the door and walk straight towards Pei Lu's office.

"No, wait a minute..." No.

Lin Chaoyue's appearance was unexpected by Pei Xue.

Since Pei Shuwen took what she wanted from the Pei family, she has never gone back, nor has she answered any calls from the Pei family.

She had no choice but to come for the sake of Pei's shares.

Otherwise, she would have no value to the Pei family whatsoever.

A person who has no value is not worthy of controlling their own destiny.

She doesn't mind using certain methods when necessary.

Pei Xue feigned pitifulness: "Sister Chaoyue, I..."

"Don't call me 'sister,' I'm not necessarily older than you."

After Lin Chaoyue went inside, she closed the door to Pei Shuwen's office.

"I feel I need to emphasize this again." Lin Chaoyue paused, her tone unusually serious: "Neither you nor any member of the Pei family can force Pei Shuwen to marry anyone."

"No, I just hope my brother won't misunderstand me. Besides... besides, my brother and I are not related by blood, and I am no longer an adopted daughter of the Pei family."

As if to prove it, she even produced a separate household registration booklet.

Lin Chaoyue said coldly, "So what are you trying to say? That way you can marry him?"

The woman in front of him remained silent, only looking at Pei Shuwen with a wronged expression.

Lin Chaoyue almost laughed out of anger: "Fine, even if it's possible, he's already my boyfriend. You wouldn't be so blatant as to steal someone else's boyfriend."

Before returning to China, Pei Xue had inquired about Lin Chaoyue. It was precisely because of her understanding that she always felt that Lin Chaoyue was just a shield brought in by Pei Shuwen. Only now did she realize that the two of them might be serious.

"Brother, how could you like her! You know she's overseas..."

“I know,” Pei Shuwen finally said calmly, “I know everything about her.”

"If she can do it, why can't I? Just because I'm your sister in name only? But I'm not anymore!"

"It's still because her surname is Lin, and she's the daughter of both the Zhong and Lin families, but her family is clearly already..."

"Shut up and get out," Pei Shuwen said sternly.

Rebirth in the 1980s: The Fabric Tycoon

Xia Xiaoqin was reborn in 1986, before You Lang was crippled in the accident and before she married her lazy ex-husband.

In their past lives, two miserable souls huddled together for warmth in middle age. Although they were a couple who married later in life and had little affection for each other, they ran a fabric shop together. They weren't rich or powerful, but they lived a harmonious and stable life.

After packing her bags, she resolutely headed south.

I heard that You Lang and her friend bought a pickup truck this year and are planning to go to Guangzhou to run a fabric freight business. If she makes it in time, she might be able to make a big splash once she arrives.

The ideal was wonderful, but as for reality... Xia Xiaoqin kicked the broken-down car that was stuck on flat ground and leaking rust, as well as the fierce-looking man with a buzz cut in front of her. Her little face was scrunched up in disbelief: "Is this the luxury car you were talking about, the one that can take away half of Guangzhou's fabric in one go?"

"Three hundred yuan dowry, a bicycle. Marry me if you want, leave if you don't."

The man mistook her for someone his family had introduced him to, assuming she was looking down on him. Xia Xiaoqin blinked and went along with it: "I'll marry you, I'll marry you right now."

--

Xia Xiaoqin's idea of ​​finding You Shanglang was simple: to expand and strengthen the business she had built in her previous life and create new glories! As for rescuing her husband and getting a marriage certificate, that was just a side effect.

But the other party clearly doesn't think so.

After repeatedly confirming with her hometown, Xia Xiaoqin learned that the person she was supposed to meet in Guangzhou was someone else.

You Lang panicked completely.

One day, Xia Xiaoqin went to meet her ex-husband, whom she had arranged a blind date with, and casually discussed a freight business deal between Jiangsu and Zhejiang. She didn't return home for half a day.

The man, who was usually a troublemaker, sat obediently at the alley entrance for a whole day.

Seeing her return, his usually cool and aloof face showed a rare hint of panic: "Don't even think about divorce!"

#They were a poor couple who lived a hard life in their past life, may they be happy from the very beginning of this life!!

#The female lead is a resilient rose, career-minded in both lifetimes; the male lead is slightly love-obsessed, but also very smart!
