The President is Being Shameless Again

Chapter 381: Yu Zi Was Mystified. Was There Anything Wrong With Her Getting Engaged Today?

At Yan Hui Corporation, Yan Huaian stood up and shook hands with Yu Zi.

This was not the first time, but the softness of her palm still made him pause almost imperceptibly before he finally and reluctantly pulled back.

His fingertips accidentally brushed her fingers, and the soft smooth sensation lingered on his fingertips like electric sparks.

Yan Huaian’s eyes darkened, but he kept his emotions in check as he said in a voice as clear as a stream, “Sorry I had to call you out here on a Saturday.”

“Don’t be sorry. This is my job, after all,” Yu Zi said with a hearty laugh.

She had always been very grateful to Yan Huaian.

It had only been two years since she joined the law firm, and before this, she had always been tailing her mentor, helping him with his cases by handling the trivial details.

With her lack of experience, it was rare enough for her to receive even the smallest cases. Most of the time, she had to take the scraps from her mentor’s pile of cases.

She came from a family of lawyers. Her father was a famous advocate, and her mother was the head of a procuratorate. She had an older brother too, and he was slowly making a name for himself in the field. Whenever anyone mentioned her brother, they would always say, “Like father, like son.”

Yu Zi grew up in such a household, so she was influenced by it and naturally went on to study law. After she passed the bar exam, she hid her family background and underwent the proper hiring process, including a written test and an interview, before she was finally hired by a reputable law firm, Ding Hui.

Nobody knew that she came from a famous family of lawyers, and they just treated her as they would any junior lawyer. Thankfully, her mentor was quite kind. He never made things difficult for her on purpose, and he guided her sincerely too.

Just like that, she was working as a regular junior lawyer. Once, she followed her mentor to Yan Hui, and after a few more meetings, her mentor would send her in his stead if he was caught up with some other important case and was confident that she could handle the issues on this end herself.

As a result, she ended up growing quite accustomed to Yan Hui’s cases.

That carried on until one day, Yan Huaian suggested that she take on the role of Yan Hui’s legal consultant.

Yu Zi, her colleagues at the firm, and even her mentor were all shocked.

A large corporation like Yan Hui was usually involved with matters of finance, but their scope was extremely vast, with many fingers in many pies. They also experienced unexpected emergencies, so their ship required the guidance of an experienced lawyer. For corporations of this size, their lawyers were often well known within the field as well. No company like that hired a mere junior lawyer like her.

Of course, she was not Yan Hui’s only legal consultant. Each lawyer was in charge of a specific area.

That was why Yu Zi gathered up the courage to agree. Since she was in charge of only one specialized area, Yu Zi was confident she could manage it.

She had been doing pretty well so far, too. When she represented Yan Hui, she did not cower like a junior lawyer at all. Instead, she held herself with confidence and swagger.

That was why she had always been grateful to Yan Huaian for giving her the opportunity.

Yan Huaian packed his things and left together with Yu Zi.

In the elevator, Yan Huaian tilted his head slightly. Taking advantage of the fact that he was more than a head taller than Yu Zi, he used the corner of his eyes to look at her.

She was standing quite some distance away from him, but he could still seem to feel the warmth emanating from her. It was both rather warm and scorching, and it made him somewhat ill at ease.

“Where do you want to go, Lawyer Yu? I’ll give you a lift.” Yan Huaian’s tone softened instinctively, and he turned his head to look at her boldly.

“I’m going to Sheng Yue,” Yu Zi said. “But I can just call a cab.”

Although her parents bought her a very cheap car, it still did not sit down well with her.

“Do you have another job later?” Yan Huaian asked casually.

Yu Zi shook her head and looked a little awkward as she said quietly, “I’m getting engaged today, so the two families are meeting for a meal.”

Yan Huaian paused in his tracks. He knew that Yu Zi had a boyfriend, a houseman, but he did not think that they would be getting engaged so soon.

How old was she? She was still so young.
