The younger generation, starting from where the wind blows...

Chapter 336 You used to be a secretary, and you're still a secretary now? Didn't you resign for nothing?

After dinner, Hu Yifei returned to her apartment.

All the doors were tightly closed.

Liu Wenjing is probably studying behind closed doors, while Huo Mei usually doesn't get home until after eight o'clock every day.

As for Li Na, who just moved in, she's probably working overtime again today.

As Hu Yifei was thinking this, the door to the room closest to her suddenly opened.

When Hu Yifei saw Li Na come out of the room, her eyes widened in surprise.

I wasn't so much scared as I was just surprised.

When Li Na saw Hu Yifei, she forced a smile.

"Yifei, you're back."

"I—" Hu Yifei suddenly ran out of words, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after racking her brains.

"did you eat?"

Li Na shook her head.

Seeing this, Hu Yifei didn't know what to say.

I've already eaten at the school cafeteria, I can't possibly eat another meal with Li Na, can I?

"By the way, Yifei, I changed my phone number. Write down my new number."

Li Na took out her phone.

Hu Yifei, on the other side, remained frozen in place.

Why did you change your number? Did you lose your phone or—

"I resigned."

Li Na's answer completely shut down what Hu Yifei was about to say.

After regaining her senses, Hu Yifei stepped forward, grabbed Li Na's hand, and pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

"What happened? Why would you resign for no reason?"

Li Na did not explain the reason.

"Yifei, I'm so sorry."

These words confused Hu Yifei.

Why are they apologizing again?

"I lied to you before."

Li Na looked sincerely at the bewildered Hu Yifei and said, "The reason I moved was not because the landlord's son was getting married, but because my dad found a place for me to live."

"Your father?"

Hu Yifei's brain CPU is almost burned out.

When I was in college, all I knew was that Li Na came from a single-parent family and had always lived with her mother.

During her sophomore year, Li Na's mother passed away.

However, the school also launched a fundraising campaign for Li Na, but Li Na refused it.

It was because of this incident that Hu Yifei learned about Li Na for the first time.

Where did this father come from?
Li Na briefly recounted Li Weizheng's experiences over the years and his recent actions.

Hu Yifei was stunned when she heard that Li Weizheng had actually found Su Mingyu's father to help based on the news.

Is it such a coincidence?
Li Na noticed that Hu Yifei's expression changed when she heard Su Mingyu's name, and asked her curiously.

"Do you know?"

Hu Yifei sighed.

They were more than just acquaintances; Su Mingyu was introduced to Yang Muye by her.

At first, I just wanted to find a tutor for Liu Wenjing, and I never expected that it would involve so many things.

What was even more unexpected was that this matter would eventually become related to Li Na again.

After hearing Hu Yifei's explanation, Li Na was also taken aback.

Come to think of it, I've never even formally met Yang Muyi, who lives next door.

As a result, so many "connections" have already been created.

Hu Yifei took Li Na's hand again:
"Your boss has already stood up for you, and your dad... ptooey, that guy doesn't deserve to be your dad at all. Li Weizheng has been arrested and put in detention, so things should calm down for a while. Wouldn't resigning be a betrayal of your boss's good intentions?"

Li Na shrugged.

Knowing that Luo Bin meant well, I felt I should resign, both for my own sake and for public reasons.

"The most important thing for a lawyer is his reputation. Once there is any stain, his career is basically ruined. The key is that the partners in the firm are not of one mind. If I continue to stay in the firm, it will easily become a handle for other factions to attack Luo Bin and his faction."

"Another one is Luo Bin's girlfriend. She's actually quite bothered by my presence. Recently, she and Luo Bin have reached the point of discussing marriage. I don't want to cause any resentment because of me, since marriage is a major life event."

After giving two reasons, even Hu Yifei couldn't say "no".

As Homei said last time, that's how the workplace is.

Women have always been in a relatively disadvantaged position.

The more career-driven a person is, the more acutely they will perceive this unfair position in the workplace.

So what are your plans for the next step?

"I've already started looking for a new job."

Hu Yifei's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Li Na has been working at the law firm since her internship. Now, she has resigned after only a few months of being a full-time employee. Even if she applies to a new company, the HR will have doubts when they look at her resume.

Why would someone who was doing so well at the law firm suddenly want to resign?

Furthermore, it's believed that since Li Na has chosen to leave Quan Jing, she will not pursue a career in law-related fields again.

In this way, her previous work experience and expertise are useless, making her no different from a newcomer to the workplace.

However, Hu Yifei herself is still in the ivory tower and is confused about her future career, so she really doesn't have any good advice to give Li Na in this regard.

When Huo Mei returns, I can tell her about Li Na's situation.

Perhaps Homei can be of help.

Just as Hu Yifei was thinking this, her phone suddenly rang.

When I picked it up, I saw it was a call from Homei.

Hu Yifei answered the phone immediately.

Before he could speak, Homei's voice came first.

"Yifei, have you gone back to your apartment?"

"I just came in, what's wrong?"

"Check if Li Na is in the room."

"No need to look, she's right beside me."

"That's good. I was a little worried because I couldn't get through to her on the phone."

"You already know about her?"

"She told you everything?"

"She suddenly changed her phone number, and then I asked her... How did you find out?"

“A man named Luo Bin just called me, claiming to be Li Na’s boss. He learned from Li Na that I share an apartment with her, but he couldn’t get through to her on the phone, so he came here.”

Seeing Li Na frantically shaking her head at her, Hu Yifei hurriedly asked, "Did you give them your apartment address?"

"Even if I don't say anything, the other party will find out on their own very quickly."

Upon hearing this, Li Na, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately became uneasy and conflicted.

The person she least wants to face right now is Luo Bin.

Hu Yifei hung up the phone and then comforted Li Na.

"Don't worry, even if Luo Bin knows your address, he won't come looking for you right now."

Luo Bin had already finished get off work, so he definitely needed to spend time with his girlfriend.

Little did they know that this attempt to comfort them would have the opposite effect.

Li Na knew in her heart that, given Luo Bin's personality, he would definitely come to Love Apartment to find her tonight.

Just as she was rapidly thinking about how to deal with Luo Bin when she saw him, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Before Li Na could react, Hu Yifei suddenly stood up from the sofa.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Before opening the door, Hu Yifei deliberately peeked out through the peephole.

Hey!
Hu Yifei suddenly opened the door, startling Zeng Xiaoxian, who was fixing his hair in front of the door.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, are you crazy? You scared me half to death!" Hu Yifei complained, clutching her chest.

Zeng Xiaoxian's mouth was wide open.

You were the one who suddenly opened the door and startled me.

This is turning black into white! Is there no law left? Hu Yifei didn't have time to waste words with Zeng Xiaoxian and immediately prepared to close the door.

Zeng Xiaoxian reacted quickly and reached out to hold the door shut.

With the other hand, she picked up the pizza she had just bought.

"Do you want to come along—"

Before the word "eat" could even be uttered, the door was slammed shut by Hu Yifei, accompanied by an angry shout of "I won't eat!"

Pshaw, you're crazy!
Zeng Xiaoxian gave a disdainful snort.

Then he remembered there was a peephole on the door, just in case Hu Yifei saw what he looked like just now—

Zeng Xiaoxian was startled.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

Get out of here right now!

Just as Hu Yifei returned to the living room and told Li Na that it was just a false alarm, Yang Muye arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

As I entered, a shout came from behind me.

"Mr. Yang, please wait!"

Yang Muye turned around and saw a man and a woman walking towards him.

The woman was holding the man's arm; they appeared to be a couple.

Xu Sanduo glanced at the two men and, confirming that they meant no harm, refrained from interfering.

Yang Muye watched as Luo Bin walked up to him with his girlfriend. Although he had already guessed who the other party was, he pretended to be confused.

"you are?"

He asked while wearing a mask.

The man offered his hand.

"Luo Bin, senior partner at Quan Jing Law Firm, this is my girlfriend, Lan Hong."

In the afternoon, Su Mingyu had already called Yang Muyi to convey Luo Bin's greetings.

Right now, Yang Muye couldn't pretend he didn't know him.

He took off his mask, revealing a lean and handsome face.

When Luo Bin and Lan Hong saw Yang Muye's face clearly, they couldn't help but secretly admire him.

Luo Bin was a recognized campus heartthrob in school, and after entering the legal profession, he became a recognized handsome man in Shanghai's legal circle.

But compared to Yang Muye in front of him, he seemed rather ordinary.

During their handshake, Yang Muyi succinctly revealed the purpose of Luo Bin's trip.

"Attorney Luo, you didn't come here specifically to see me, did you?"

“I came to see a friend, but I didn’t expect to run into Mr. Yang at the door. Speaking of which, my friend is Mr. Yang’s neighbor.”

As he spoke, Luo Bin took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Muye.

"I just finished a phone call with Ms. Huo Mei, the person in charge of Cainiao Station. She helped me out, and I plan to treat her to a casual meal later. It would be an honor if Mr. Yang could also join us."

Yang Muye nodded.

He had a fairly good impression of Luo Bin.

As for eating together—

Let’s talk about it then.

Xu Sanduo, who was standing to the side, took Luo Bin's business card.

The four of them entered the residential complex together and took the elevator upstairs.

After exiting the elevator, Yang Muye shook hands with Luo Bin to say goodbye.

“Attorney Luo, your friend lives in 3601, and I live in 3602, so I won’t be able to go with you.”

After watching Yang Muye and Xu Sanduo enter, Luo Bin and Lan Hong headed towards room 3601.

"Ding dong!"

Lan Hong rang the doorbell.

After a moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, I've already told you—"

Hu Yifei, who came to open the door, was stunned when she saw Luo Bin and Lan Hong outside.

The next second, she realized that Luo Bin must be the boss that Li Na was talking about.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was just another neighbor knocking on the door. You must be Attorney Luo. Huo Mei just called me and told me to come in."

Hu Yifei stepped aside and warmly welcomed Luo Bin and Lan Hong into the house.

Li Na stood up from the sofa, looking at Luo Bin with a complicated expression... and Lan Hong beside him.

"Attorney Luo, what brings you here?"

"Didn't you just move? I came to check on you. I personally recruited you into the firm, so what, you won't even call me 'boss' now?"

Luo Bin teased in a familiar tone.

In front of Li Na, he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

"Attorney Luo, Director Feng has approved my resignation."

Luo Bin shrugged nonchalantly.

“That’s right, Director Feng approved it, but I didn’t. You know the rules of the law firm. I’m a senior partner of the firm, and you were hired by me. Your resignation needs my approval, otherwise it won’t count.”

"Then I'll send my resignation letter to your email address later—"

Before Li Na could finish speaking, Luo Bin interrupted her, saying:
"It needs to be in paper form and submitted in person."

Most importantly, I will not approve it!

Although Luo Bin didn't say it aloud, Li Na understood perfectly well what he meant.

"I'll go print it now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Hong released her arm that was tightly holding Luo Bin and stepped forward to pull Li Na away.

"Alright, you two stop sulking like children. Aren't you being childish?"

"Li Na, listen to me, it's all over now. You should go back to work at the law firm as usual."

Li Na knew that Lan Hong's magnanimity at this moment was entirely for Luo Bin's benefit.

In Lan Hong's heart, how could she not mind continuing to be Luo Bin's secretary?

If she really didn't mind, Lan Hong wouldn't have come to find her with Luo Bin.

That's because I'm still worried.

“Ms. Lan, I appreciate your kindness, but I would like to ask you to help persuade Attorney Luo to stop bothering me. My resignation would be better for everyone.”

Before Lan Hong could even speak, Luo Bin objected.

"I painstakingly trained you from an intern, and now you just quit like that, and I'm the one harassing you? Let everyone judge, is this reasonable?"

Lan Hong also joined in trying to persuade Li Na, saying that Luo Bin had just had a big argument with Feng Yin that afternoon and really needed Li Na to go back and help him.

Li Na's attitude became increasingly resolute.

“Attorney Luo, I will always remember your care and guidance. However, I recently heard a saying that employees resign for only two reasons: either they are underpaid or they have been wronged. Which one do you think I belong to?”

Luo Bin frowned.

The salary I paid Li Na was already quite high.

There was no question of being wronged, since she had already stood up for Li Na and settled things with Li Weizheng.

This care and affection is enough to make even his usually understanding girlfriend jealous. Isn't that enough?

"Don't give me that nonsense. Just tell me when you're going back to work."

Li Na made a surprising statement:

"I'm not going back because I've found a better job."

Luo Bin smiled.

He was quite certain that Li Na's idea of ​​resigning came about after Li Weizheng caused trouble today.

She resigned in the afternoon and said she had found a new job that evening.

What about the liar?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Hu Yifei took the opportunity of bringing water to Luo Bin and Lan Hong to step in and smooth things over.

"Everyone, please sit down and let's talk."

Luo Bin listened to advice and sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked up at Li Na, who had been dragged down to sit with Hu Yifei.

"Tell me about any better job you've found."

"Still the same as before, working as someone's secretary."

Li Na's answer surprised everyone present.

The one who reacted the most was Luo Bin.

He stared wide-eyed at Li Na.

You were my secretary before, and you're still working as someone else's secretary now. Didn't you resign for nothing?

The key question is, who is your new boss?
How can you possibly think that being their secretary is a better career prospect than being mine?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
