Chapter 1909: Slow Steady Progress
Chapter 1909: Slow Steady Progress
After a few cases, Ning Shu gradually gained more money and her life became richer. When she was free, she would go online and work as a free legal consultant to improve her reputation.
This world had entered the age of the Internet. When people encountered problems, many would look for answers online. Lawyers could answer some of those questions for them.
Ning Shu only occasionally went to office parties since it wasn’t convenient to have a child with her. Sister Li also didn’t force Ning Shu, knowing that she had to take care of her child.
But for important gatherings, Sister Li wanted Ning Shu to go. When that happened, Ning Shu would take Nannan to a nursery for a few hours and then take her home after the gathering.
Currently, Ning Shu’s lawsuits were assigned by Sister Li, but in the future, she’d have to find customers herself. When Ning Shu attended a banquet, she always brought a large stack of business cards with her. If someone came to her for advice, Ning Shu would generously tell them a few ways to handle a lawsuit and even give them some predictions as to how it would go.
Sometimes, the people were just asking for advice, they didn’t necessarily want to hire her. Ning Shu didn’t care. After all, they might look for her next time.
Life wasn’t easy, no matter which circle you lived in.
After being born, the only difference was whether the conditions were comfortable or uncomfortable. Even if a job wasn’t enough to live off of, if you enjoyed it, you would still feel happy. If the job wasn’t enough to support you and also didn’t make you happy, there was no reason to continue that work.
During the rest of her work time, Ning Shu stayed with Nannan. Now, Nannan could call out “mommy.” She was white, tender, and very cute.
Sister Li also liked Nannan a lot. Every time she came to visit, she brought some small things for her.
When there were no other weekend obligations, Sister Li and Ning Shu would go shopping. They would rush around the mall, trying on one piece of clothing after another, or buying them for Nannan. It was super cute to see Nannan all dressed up.
Sister Li was quite willing to spend money. Every time they went out, she bought a lot of brand-name items. In her words, the reason for her to make so much money was so she could spend it.
Ning Shu smiled. She also spent some money to buy a couple of relatively expensive outfits and bags. Firstly, it was because she could now afford it. Secondly, in the lawyer industry, she was always in contact with rich and powerful people. Dressing neatly but comfortably was also basic etiquette.
After shopping, the two went for beauty treatments. They spent their own money and lived well.
Sister Li said that hoping to marry a good man wasn’t as nice as being realistic, earning more money, and enjoying it.
Ning Shu agreed, saying that although everyone said that getting a good job was worse than a good marriage, the problem was whether or not you could meet a good man.
Many women encountered scumbags over and over again and got hurt over and over again. These circumstances could be described cruelly with the saying: birds of a feather flock together. Lonely people would find other lonely people, but they would still claim to be alone. Instead of trying to change their circumstances, they just languished in their self-made misery.
Ning Shu was not the lawyer with the most requests on the company list, but she had the highest success rate and the cases that went to her were basically guaranteed to win.
Sometimes, Sister Li would hand over a more important case to Ning Shu, and the two would discuss it over and over again.
Law firms made most of their money from large commercial cases. There were also some divorce cases between wealthy people, and those usually involved the two sides tearing into each other.
Ning Shu had been in the city for more than two years and had slowly gained a foothold within the community.
Those two years were very short, and during that time, Ning Shu had pretty much cheated. Since she had previous experience as a former lawyer, she could effortlessly act as a lawyer again.
It was a good thing she earned all of that knowledge herself. Things like this might not appear to be of much use at the moment, but they may play a huge role at some point.
Just like in the current task, if she didn’t have her skills as a lawyer, she wouldn’t be living so easily.
