Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Threw Her Resume into the Trash

Qin Xiaoshuang sighed, "Sis, you really trust brother-in-law a lot."

Qin Xin tapped his forehead again, "Haven’t you always admired him? Why are you still thinking of these useless things?"

Qin Xiaoshuang stuck out his tongue, "Brother-in-law is really, really good, but the most important person in my heart will always be you, sis."

Qin Xin said helplessly, "You’ve defeated me, you little brat. Since when did your mouth get coated with honey, becoming so sweet-talking?"

Qin Xiaoshuang thought for a moment, "Maybe it was brother-in-law who inspired me?"

Qin Xin: "..."

Your brother-in-law is not that kind of sweet-talking type!

He... is a man of action.

Not a man who wins you over with sweet talk, but one who silently stands behind you, providing steady support, a man who nurtures quietly.

This kind of man has been tempered and seasoned by time, and only through deep interaction can you truly feel his unique charm.

Imperial Mansion, presidential suite.

Huo Tingzun was in the study, reviewing partner information.

Huo Law Firm was once the largest law firm in the empire, with more than a hundred branches nationwide.

Three years ago, he had an incident, leading to internal strife and chaos within the firm.

The first thing he did after returning to the country was to reorganize the Huo Law Group.

The first step was, naturally, to select loyal partners.

As he continued flipping through, some odd items fell out of the folder.

"Paralegal Job Application"

There were several application forms and resumes of job applicants.

Huo Tingzun’s expression turned cold, "Why show me such low-level stuff."

His position only required deciding on senior partners, without concerning himself with the recruitment of the lowest level assistants in the firm.

The secretary beside him trembled with fear and hastily apologized, "I’m sorry, President, these are the job applications received today, collected in a hurry. I mixed them up. I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

"If all you can say is sorry, you don’t need to come to work tomorrow." Huo Tingzun’s face was icy.

He had only been away for three years, and the people handling affairs had become incompetent.

The secretary was almost in tears, scrambling to gather the resumes, "Report to the President, I’ll sort it out right away, right away!"

"Wait!"

Huo Tingzun suddenly spoke, pointing to one of the resumes, picking it up to read, "Xiao Bailu..."

He couldn’t help but read the name on the resume out loud.

A black and white ID photo, an inch in size, was at the top right corner of the resume.

The girl had a long ponytail, exuding youth and a pure smile.

Even though she looked vastly different from the enchanting curly-haired woman who had spilled icy coffee on him today, he still recognized her, "It’s her..."

The secretary’s heart skipped a beat.

This girl was so pure and pretty, could it be that the President was interested? Wanting to recruit her as a paralegal?

However, law firms valued ability, looking good was of no use.

The President should surely know this fact.

The secretary speculated.

However.

Huo Tingzun frowned, skimming through Xiao Bailu’s resume.

Then, coldly, he casually tossed the resume into the trash bin.

"Get out."

The secretary froze, hastily taking the remaining resumes and scurrying out. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

He had guessed wrong.

The President hadn’t been swayed by that woman’s looks and had directly tossed her resume into the trash.

Cough, cough, as a secretary, it wasn’t appropriate to start scavenging through the trash, anyway, if the President didn’t want it, the cleaning lady could just take it away.

Anyway, resumes of such minor figures didn’t require privacy protection.

Nalan Group.

Nalan Ye Jue finished his work and it was already eleven o’clock at night.

He was just about to drive back to Xinghe Bay.

Lu Yi rushed into the office to report, "Young Master, the Little Miss... hasn’t attended school for several days!"
