Chapter 88: 80. Daily Life of a Law School Freshman

Le Ying Law Firm.

"Xiao Shang, this is Guan Yongyi, also your junior. She has recently started interning at our firm. Please take good care of her."

Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics is one of the so-called "Top Five Institutions and Four Law Departments."

The Top Five Institutions for legal education in the country, along with four renowned law schools, form an impenetrable small circle within the legal education community.

As a professor at the Law School of the Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics, Li Suying holds multiple positions.

Not only is she the vice president of the Jiangcheng Law Society, but she is also a senior partner at the Le Ying Law Firm.

Early in the morning, Director Li, accompanied by a young short-haired girl, approached Shang Lingzhi.

"Got it, Director Li."

Attorney Shang Lingzhi, with her neatly trimmed straight hair, was the most prominent up-and-comer in civil and commercial law at the firm.

She nodded, sizing up Guan Yongyi who was standing next to Li Suying, and smiled as she led her towards the workstation.

"Junior, this way. I heard from the director yesterday that I was going to get an intern, but I didn’t expect it to be you."

"Are you in your third or fourth year? You look so young."

Today, Guan Yongyi, even from afar, exuded a strong presence, and although there was a hint of greenness between her brows, she subtly possessed the demeanor of a legal elite.

Upon hearing Shang Lingzhi’s voice, Guan Yongyi paused.

"I just started my freshman year."

She only carried a brown leather clutch, casually draping a houndstooth blazer over her shoulders, wore a dark green pencil leather skirt, a tea-colored silk blouse, and dark red high heels that clicked on the marble floor.

"Freshman?"

Shang Lingzhi blinked her expressive eyes, and her legal mind immediately began to expand.

How could the ever meticulous Director Li allow a freshman to intern at the firm?

What could she possibly do?

No, there must be a deeper reason behind this.

Either this junior has experience or has connections!

"I mainly handle civil and commercial cases. Do you have any knowledge in this area?"

As Shang Lingzhi led Guan Yongyi into the hall, she pointed to the vacant workstation beside her and tentatively asked.

"Mhm."

Guan Yongyi nodded gently.

"I interned at Junhe during the summer, working as a legal assistant in civil and commercial law."

"Oh, then that makes things easy!"

Shang Lingzhi, all smiles, helped her log in with the account password, personally brought over a stack of case files, and carefully advised her on various details.

Connections.

Nothing more needed to be asked.

In Jiang City, the provincial capital of the region, getting into Le Ying Law Firm as a master’s student from one of the Top Five Institutions would be considered a decent choice.

But despite her master’s from Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics, just because her undergraduate background wasn’t pure, she couldn’t even get through the resume screening at the Red Circle Firm!

What kind of background allows a high school graduate to directly work as a legal assistant at Junhe?

The socially adept Shang Lingzhi was much quicker to react than Guan Yongyi’s roommates.

Perhaps, this junior was a big shot!

...

...

Guan Yongyi didn’t need much guidance.

She had spent three months at the Red Circle Firm, handling clerical work like document delivery, drafting simple legal documents, and organizing case files flawlessly.

"Guan Guan, come and assist me with receiving the clients!"

After a morning’s work, Shang Lingzhi was surprised to find that many tasks didn’t need her attention, significantly boosting her work efficiency.

In the reception room, the clacking sounds of high heels approached.

An elegant and poised lawyer and a young and beautiful legal assistant—the two of them entering the room was a sight to behold.

In this era, legal services also needed a face to represent them.

"Hello, I’m Shang Lingzhi."

Shang Lingzhi handed over her business card and sat face-to-face with the client.

"I’d like to consult about, yes, primarily issues related to family law."

The client was also a beauty.

Her hair gathered into a bun adorned with a green jade hairpin, she exuded an extraordinary demeanor.

"Take your time, no rush."

"I’d like to know how I can..."

The paralegal, Guan Yongyi, was in charge of taking notes.

Her signature pen was continuously dancing between her fingertips, but the two kept digressing and were slow to get to the point.

What’s the problem with the marriage, to divorce or not, how to divide the property—come on, just spit it out!

Young people are most lacking in patience.

"Do you know any lawyers who specialize in contract disputes?"

The smartphone screen beside her lit up—it was Lu Jincheng.

"What’s up? I actually do, I’ve been interning at a law firm recently."

It seemed that the client was having a hard time articulating her issues, so she simply lifted her phone and prioritized replying to Lu Jincheng’s message.

"...otherwise, you might as well come in for a consultation, we’re doing a general reception this afternoon."

"Location (Le Ying Law Firm)"

After Lu Jincheng sent an "ok" emoji, Guan Yongyi put down her phone and finally heard a topic of interest.

"So, are you saying you want to divorce because your husband cheated during the marriage?"

"Yes, he firmly disagrees; I have no choice but to proceed with legal actions."

The client nodded, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, as if hiding a myriad of sorrows.

"Ms. Guo, what is your main demand then?"

Shang Lingzhi asked.

"I just want to get divorced as soon as possible."

The visiting client sighed deeply.

Life at home had been chaotic since Guo Minjie made an unexpected discovery; they had argued more than once.

Just as Lu Jincheng had said, her husband firmly disagreed with the divorce, just refused to consider it.

She recalled the advice from her students, mustered her courage, and came to this reputable law firm in Jiang City, hoping to use professional help to decisively sort out the mess.

"As soon as possible... The judge might not directly grant the divorce unless you can prove the marital relationship is irreparably broken."

"Do you have any evidence that your marital relationship is broken?"

Shang Lingzhi asked.

"Does this count?"

Guo Minjie hesitated for a few seconds, biting her upper lip as if she had made up her mind.

She took out her phone, opened the gallery, and showed the lawyer and assistant.

"..."

The experienced Shang Lingzhi managed to keep her composure, but Guan Yongyi couldn’t help moving closer, then suddenly gasped and widened her eyes.

What in the world is this?

Filled with...

Gibberish and disturbing images...

Ah, so disturbing!

It was utterly disgraceful!

Guan Yongyi quickly averted her eyes.

...

"Ms. Guo, please proceed to the front desk to sign the engagement contract, and keep in touch with us if you have any questions."

After the consultation, Shang Lingzhi led the client out of the meeting room to the front desk to handle the engagement procedures.

"Thank you for taking care of the rest."

Guo Minjie signed the document, dipped her thumb in ink, and pressed down a red fingerprint.

"Not at all, this is what we’re supposed to do."

Shang Lingzhi turned her head: "Guan Guan, add Ms. Guo’s contact information and set up a group for easy case progress updates."

"Sure."

Guan Yongyi nodded, ready to pull out her phone, when suddenly a familiar figure appeared at the door.

Tall and well-built.

It was Lu Jincheng.

But the man, despite clearly seeing her, didn’t greet her immediately, instead looking past her shoulder.

"Eh, Teacher Guo?"
