Chapter 337: Grandson-in-law (1)
Xiang Yin sneaked a glance at Xiang Yi, only to discover that…
Shi Sui had handed Xiang Yi a bottle of water and even helped her unscrew the cap.
Xiang Yin squinted and kept his eyes fixed on Shi Sui.
He was quite pleased with Shi Sui just now, but he found him to be really loathsome and detestable at this moment…
However, Xiang Yi’s grandmother mistakenly thought that Shi Sui and Xiang Yi were dating. Perhaps because she had just seen Li Jianyu and Old Zhang on the merry-go-round, Shi Sui seemed to be much more pleasing to her eye in contrast to them.
…
…
In the manor.
Xiang Chen slept in until nine o’clock in the morning, which was a rare indulgence for him.
As per normal, he habitually read the headlines of the financial news section while drinking some black coffee before looking at the stock chart.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Chen started reading and replying to his emails.
Although he was on vacation, he inevitably had to respond to some matters regarding the work that he was responsible for.
Halfway through replying to the emails, his cellphone vibrated. He picked it up to see that it was a text from “Guardian of Xiang Yi Who’s The Best Girl in This World” whom he had previously added on Weibo.
[Guardian]: Sorry to disturb, but I’ve collated all the details of the case. Can I send the document to you directly?
Xiang Chen answered with a simple “yes”.
Soon, “Guardian of Xiang Yi Who’s The Best Girl in This World” sent the document.
Xiang Chen opened the file and skimmed through the content before sorting through details carefully one more time.
It was roughly about Guardian’s close friend, who was a Chemistry major and had just graduated from college this year. During her written job interview, she had the best score among her fellow candidates, but she didn’t end up getting recruited. Instead, a boy who scored lower than her got the job offer.
She called the Human Resource department to inquire about it, only to be told that that job position was more suitable for men.
Guardian’s friend was furious; but being a fresh graduate, she didn’t have enough money to file a lawsuit against the company so Guardian wanted to stand up for her. She suddenly thought of sourcing for a pro bono lawyer on Weibo and decided to give it a try.
She didn’t expect to get a reply from Xiang Chen.
She was extremely grateful and after finding out that Xiang Chen was Xiang Yi’s eldest brother, she was even more embarrassed because she felt that she was causing an inconvenience to Xiang Chen and, indirectly, for Xiang Yi.
[Guardian]: Is this case easy to handle? If it’s going to be a waste of time, forget it… My friend is trying to search for a new job now.
[Guardian]: Pitiful.jpg
In the beginning, she and her close friends were indeed furious but over time, she had no choice but to accept it helplessly.
After all, there are too many inequalities in this society.
They were just ordinary fresh graduates who couldn’t fight against those cruel rules of society.
[CHEN]: I will arrange for someone to follow up.
[CHEN]: Do you have more stickers?
Guardian was stunned for a moment before finally realizing that the sticker that she had just sent him was made with Xiang Yi’s photos.
[Guardian]: Yes, there are.
She hurriedly sent the dozen or so Xiang Yi sticker packs that she had made to him.
Xiang Chen stared at his screen seriously with a straight face…
He saved each and every sticker pack.
[CHEN]: On the account of the stickers, I’ll handle this case personally. We’re estimated to go to court in three days, get yourself and your friend prepared.
Guardian was dumbstruck.
‘My eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, are they? The top attorney in the country, who usually only takes on multi-million-dollar cases, is actually willing to personally take this case?!]
Guardian immediately chickened out a little. ‘Ah… he didn’t have to go to such lengths…’
Besides, Xiang Chen wasn’t a pro bono lawyer who provided services for free. He charged extremely high fees for his service; and even if he might not want to take any money from Guardian and her friend, they ought to still pay him some money. She reckoned that she and her friend would have to scrimp and save for the next few months…
*Buzz*
She looked down at her cellphone…
[CHEN]: Send me all Xiang Yi sticker packs immediately after you create them in the future. Thanks.
After locking his phone screen, Xiang Chen restored his cold and aloof expression.
