Chapter 1905: Not Every Woman Lived the Life That Everyone Else Had to Live

The female boss glanced at the business card. She swept her gaze over Ning Shu, her eyes pausing on the child Ning Shu was carrying.
“I don’t know you. If you’re looking for something, I must apologize. I’ll be going to court to present a case soon.” She took her bag and left gracefully. She looked very pretty, but her beauty came second. The woman had unparalleled self-confidence. The beauty of her confidence surpassed the beauty of her face.
The boss of the law firm had said that she was going to court later, so Ning Shu planned to go and listen.
In the courtroom, the female boss had changed into a fiery red skirt and matching suit, her hair neatly combed. She spoke frankly and with confidence, with articulation as sharp as a knife. Ning Shu was captivated watching her.
If she was a man, Ning Shu would’ve desperately chased this kind of woman. Not every woman lived the life that everyone else had to live.
Looking around the courtroom, Ning Shu couldn’t help but fidget with excitement. She hadn’t been in court for a long time. The verbal battle taking place was just too cool.
The confrontation between the two parties did not involve any cursing or violence. Instead, they both relied on professional skills to find the other’s shortcomings and overwhelm the opposition.
The female boss had taken over a commercial case, and the course of events was relatively relaxed.
The lawsuit lasted over two hours. In the end, the other party requested a private settlement. If it couldn’t be settled, then they would appeal.
The female boss left the room. Ning Shu picked up her child and hurried after her.
“I’m quite thirsty, can I invite you for coffee?” The female boss looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu nodded. “Okay.”
They went to a cafe and the female boss asked her, “What do you want to drink?”
“A latte please,” Ning Shu said.
The female boss glanced at Ning Shu. “So casual, are you sure?”
“Actually, I don’t drink coffee,” Ning Shu said. “I still have to breastfeed my child.”
“Waiter, give me a latte and a glass of juice.”
“Tell me, why did you want to see me?” the female boss asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu said, “I want to apply for a trainee lawyer position in your law firm, and I also want to take my child to work.”
The coffee was served. The female boss stirred her coffee, then took a sip. She said, “Why should I hire you? If you have to take your child with you, wouldn’t it be better to wait until the child grows older?”
“I am divorced, so just take it as me playing the pity card. This child was left with me. My hometown is the next city over, and I am here alone,” Ning Shu said with a smile.
“What value do you have for me to allow you to take your child to work?” The female boss asked flatly while stirring her coffee.
Ning Shu said, “As long as I can intern in your law firm, I can go to court immediately after I pass the exam and get a lawyer’s qualification certificate.”
“So confident.” The female boss raised her eyebrows. “What if you can’t?”
“You have nothing to lose in trying. If I fail, you can fire me,” Ning Shu said directly.
“Well, let me test you a bit on legal clauses and cases. Tell me how I should fight a lawsuit.” The female boss asked Ning Shu a question.
Ning Shu listened carefully and gave her answer and a specific plan.
The two women stayed at the cafe for a long time. The female boss showed Ning Shu the cases on her laptop. There were commercial cases, criminal cases, divorce cases, inheritance disputes, and various others.
She randomly picked a case and asked Ning Shu how she would handle it.
