Chapter 97: Recruitment, the Law Firm Expands Again, Xuezhen, Surely You Do Not Want to Be the Proprietress?

Published: June 27, 2026 | By Error404BrainNotFound

When asking Su Bai, Li Xuezhen’s small face carried expectation.

Her eyes blinked as she looked at Su Bai.

Su Bai: ……

Tsk tsk.

You are using this to test a cadre? What cadre could withstand this kind of test?

Cough cough.

Su Bai coughed lightly twice, restrained his expression, and continued speaking:

“Lawyer Li, do you remember what I told you the last time you joined the law firm?”

Li Xuezhen’s small face showed confusion, her lips slightly pursed:

“What did you say, Lawyer Su?”

Su Bai rubbed his temples: “Did I not tell you earlier.”

“That after you became fully qualified, you could be promoted to partner?”

“And become the number one partner of our law firm!”

“Now that you are asking this question, do you think I was merely drawing you a pie in the sky?”

Li Xuezhen’s eyes slightly narrowed, her face full of a smile:

“Oh, all right, Lawyer Su, I remember now!”

“No, Lawyer Su, I did not think that.”

Su Bai gazed at Li Xuezhen, judging from her appearance, she definitely had not only just remembered.

Nor did it seem that she was worried he was merely drawing her a pie in the sky.

As for the purpose behind Li Xuezhen asking this matter.

Su Bai slightly shook his head, he also did not understand why Li Xuezhen would suddenly ask this question, and therefore did not continue thinking about it.

Only.

He increasingly felt that he could no longer quite grasp Little Li’s thoughts.

What happened to the foolish yet clear eyed female university student as promised.

Had she grown more calculating?

As for Li Xuezhen, her face was full of smiles and joy, and she happily left the office with quick little steps to go handle her own work.

Outside the office.

She happened to run into Xu Xiang, who had come looking for Su Bai.

Tsk tsk.

Seeing Li Xuezhen’s face full of smiles, Xu Xiang slightly shook his head and let out a long sigh in his heart.

Teacher Feng, please pay a little more attention, the fine little cabbage is about to be picked away.

The matter of recruitment was still ongoing.


Nandu University of Law.

Inside the female dormitory.

Li Xuezhen filled in the recruitment information according to the content Su Bai had given her.

Recruitment content: intern lawyer, salary 4,000 to 10,000, specifics to be discussed.

Job content: …

Working hours: …

Li Xuezhen filled in all the conditions that needed to be filled in.

Immediately, several people greeted Li Xuezhen on the recruitment software.

In Nandu, an intern lawyer salary of 4,000 was already not low, most small and medium sized law firms could not reach this level, and most recruitment notices wrote 3,000 to 6,000.

Baijun law Firm’s 4,000 to 10,000 therefore appeared very attractive.

Very quickly, as a professional intern lawyer, Li Xuezhen rejected certain people who had submitted résumés.

The main reason was that some people were not sufficiently proficient in certain professional legal knowledge, and had not yet passed the legal qualification examination.

So they were naturally rejected.

After all, in the future she was going to become a partner of Baijun law Firm.

Therefore, with respect to the matter of recruiting intern lawyers for Baijun law Firm, she took it especially seriously.

Of course, among those who submitted applications there were also some résumés that looked quite good, and Li Xuezhen immediately sent out interview invitations.

Very quickly, two days passed.

Li Xuezhen successfully submitted a file of interviewee materials.

After receiving these materials, Su Bai nodded with satisfaction and praised her:

“Not bad, you did very well, if our law firm were without you, there truly are some things that would be difficult to handle.”

After being praised, Li Xuezhen’s eyes curved into a thin line from smiling: “Lawyer Su, all of this is what I ought to do.”

Su Bai smiled slightly and nodded, then added part of the materials he had screened himself on top of the interviewee materials submitted by Li Xuezhen.

“These are the ones I screened when I had some free time, let us interview them together then, and set the interview time for the day after tomorrow, there is no problem with that, correct?”

“There is no problem, Lawyer Su.”

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously and solemnly.

Nandu University of Law female dormitory.

Wang Kexin’s little meatball hairstyle looked droopy and dispirited.

Looking at Wang Kexin’s state of mind, Li Xuezhen felt somewhat puzzled. Since returning from Beidu last time.

Wang Kexin had continuously asked her how the litigation with Su Bai had gone, and whether anything had happened in the process.

At that time Kexin had still been very energetic.

What had happened now?

“Kexin, what is wrong?”

Li Xuezhen asked softly. At this time Wang Kexin, with the little meatball hairstyle, softly spoke:

“Xuezhen, we are almost graduating, and only now have I realized that I need to go do an internship.”

“During this period, I applied to several big law firms for internships, and none of them wanted me, so then I found another law firm that looked rather decent.”

“The internship salary is also not low, and the interview is in a couple of days.”

“But I am afraid. I am afraid that they will reject me again.”

Faced with this issue.

Li Xuezhen frowned slightly. Wang Kexin’s legal level indeed did not reach the standard for entering a large law firm.

However, she comforted her close friend:

“There is no need to worry, do not worry, for a small law firm, there definitely will not be any problem with the internship.”

“After all.”

“The name of our Nandu University of Law is still very prominent!”

“But can one learn things at a small law firm?”

After hearing Li Xuezhen’s consolation, the little meatball hairstyle regained much of its spirit, but there was still somewhat uncertain concern in her tone.

Hearing this, Li Xuezhen thought of Baijun law Firm and reassured her:

“Do not worry, some small law firms are still very formidable!”

“Perhaps you will happen to encounter one, and you will certainly be able to learn quite a lot of professional legal knowledge.”

“Oh, right!”

Li Xuezhen’s small face tightened, suddenly remembering something very important, and asked:

“Which law firm did you apply to? I might even know it.”

“It is an ordinary small law firm.”

“What is its name. Baijun law Firm. I have looked into it, although this law firm is not large in scale, its internship salary is not low, and its reputation in the Nandu legal circle is also not low.”

“??”

Li Xuezhen froze for several seconds: “What did you say?”

“Which law firm?”

“Baijun law Firm. Xuezhen, what is wrong. Is there any problem?”

Baijun law Firm.

Was that not the law firm where she herself was currently interning?

It could not be said that there was no problem, only that the problem was not very great.

Wang Kexin had applied to Baijun law Firm, and she herself was also interning at Baijun law Firm.

This was somewhat coincidental.

Li Xuezhen frowned slightly, not knowing how to say it.

After all, Kexin had originally always thought that she was interning at a large law firm.

Forget it, Kexin would recognize her during the interview anyway, during this period she would first give Kexin some advance psychological preparation and not tell her yet.

After making up her mind, Li Xuezhen spoke:

“There is no problem, it is simply that according to what I know, this Baijun law Firm is a very formidable law firm.”

“If you go to interview there, there definitely will not be any problem!”

“Xuezhen, how do you know that this Baijun law Firm is very formidable?”

“In a few days you will know.”

“Oh, all right then.”

Wang Kexin did not ask further, only the little meatball hairstyle on top of her head became spirited again.

Two days passed very quickly.

The interview day for Baijun law Firm soon arrived.

On the day of the interview, Wang Kexin dressed very formally, and before leaving she deliberately asked Li Xuezhen:

“Xuezhen, do you think my outfit today is suitable for the interview?”

When she spoke, Wang Kexin’s little meatball hairstyle even swayed lightly in the wind.

“It is suitable!”

Li Xuezhen nodded solemnly with her small face and answered without any hesitation.

Immediately afterward.

Her small face fell, and she let out a deep sigh, silently reciting.

“I do not know what Kexin’s reaction will be when she sees me.”


Integrity Building.

Fifth floor.

There were about ten people who came for interviews at Baijun law Firm.

The interviewees this time were all selected by Li Xuezhen and Su Bai, and the requirements were relatively high.

Very quickly.

As the interviewees entered the interview room one by one and then came back out.

Some people’s expressions carried disappointment, while some carried excitement.

Seeing this, Wang Kexin’s little meatball hairstyle kept swaying, and her small face was also full of nervousness.

Very quickly, accompanied by a voice from inside saying, “Next, Wang Kexin.”

Wang Kexin walked into the interview office with quick little steps.

There were four interviewers.

Su Bai, Li Xuezhen, Xu Xiang, and Duan Liang.

This.

After Wang Kexin entered the interview office, her eyes widened tremendously, and the little meatball hairstyle shook vigorously.

Of the four interviewers, she knew two!

There was no need to say anything about Xuezhen, her roommate, she definitely knew that one.

She also knew Xu Xiang!

Xu Xiang was Xuezhen’s senior, and she had seen him twice before when she was still at school.

As for the other two, she did not know them, but could broadly guess.

At a glance, Duan Liang was clearly a middle aged man who was already married.

Li Xuezhen had said that the lawyer who initially guided her was a young lawyer.

Therefore, the lawyer guiding Xuezhen could only be Su Bai.

Yes!

He was very handsome, matching the description in novels!

Tsk tsk tsk.

However, recalling that Li Xuezhen had not previously revealed to her that she worked at Baijun law Firm.

Wang Kexin also understood that during the interview she certainly could not reveal the relationship between herself and Xuezhen.

The little meatball swayed lightly, and after letting out a small breath and adjusting her emotions, Wang Kexin spoke:

“Greetings to all interviewers.”

Wang Kexin was in the middle of giving her self introduction.

Su Bai had already noticed Wang Kexin’s little expression just now, and his gaze subconsciously turned toward Li Xuezhen.

Nandu University of Law, fourth year student.

That expression just now clearly showed that she knew Li Xuezhen.

This.

Xu Xiang was Li Xuezhen’s senior, and this time yet another classmate had come, tsk tsk tsk, Su Bai was already beginning to suspect whether in the future this law firm would still belong to him.

This was entirely becoming Little Li’s network of personal connections.

The above was merely a joke, of course this law firm would still belong to him.

However, recruiting an intern lawyer with some connection was not a problem.

As long as she was practical, diligent, and seriously worked as an intern lawyer, then there was no issue.

Moreover, this Wang Kexin’s résumé had been screened by Su Bai himself, she was graduating from Nandu University of Law, and there should not be any great difficulty in handling the work of an intern lawyer.

The interview ended very quickly.

With respect to the selected candidates for intern lawyers, Duan Liang had no objection, Li Xuezhen also had no objection, and as for Xu Xiang, he had even less objection.

Based on the interview circumstances, Su Bai very quickly determined the recruitment candidates.

One was Wang Kexin with the little meatball hairstyle, and the other was a male student.

A student from Nandu University’s law department, named Wang Kangjie, about 1.78 meters (5 ft 10 in) tall, and in good physical condition.

The result of assigning the intern lawyers was this.

Duan Liang touched his shiny bald head and said that he needed a male intern lawyer.

After all, in civil cases certain dispute situations sometimes arise, and only a physically strong intern lawyer can ensure safety issues.

After hearing this, Su Bai nodded heavily, for this kind of matter he had deep personal experience.

Therefore, without any hesitation, he assigned Wang Kangjie to Duan Liang as an intern lawyer.

As for Wang Kexin, she was assigned to Xu Xiang as an intern lawyer.

With the addition of two intern lawyers, the number of lawyers at the law firm suddenly expanded to six.

Moreover.

At present, the law firm was not lacking in small cases, and the staffing was sufficient.

Baijun law Firm could now be considered to have embarked upon the road of expanding its scale and was beginning to flourish.

At the same time.

The female dormitory at Nandu University of Law.

After returning from the interview and asking Li Xuezhen about Baijun law Firm and Su Bai, the intern lawyer, Wang Kexin spoke in a secretly excited tone:

“Xuezhen.”

“You did not even tell me that you were serving as an intern lawyer at Baijun law Firm.”

“I made inquiries, and this Lawyer Su Bai has quite a high degree of reputation within the profession, and the several cases he has litigated were all very impressive!”

“Heh!”

Faced with Wang Kexin’s question, Li Xuezhen’s small face froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Immediately afterward, Wang Kexin continued speaking with a smile:

“Xuezhen, look.”

“Does not Lawyer Su’s dominant male lead persona pair very well with your role as an intern lawyer?”

Li Xuezhen: “?”

“Ahem, all of this comes from the novels I read.”

“And do you not think that being the proprietress is better than being a partner?”

Partner.

Upon hearing the word partner, Li Xuezhen’s eyes lit up.

After hearing the latter half of the sentence, Little Li’s small face fell, and it was unclear what she was thinking in her heart.

Seeing this, Wang Kexin patted Li Xuezhen on the shoulder, her small face full of the seriousness of someone earnestly following gossip:

“Xuezhen, do not worry, according to my countless years of reading novels, I can definitely help you!”

Wang Kexin could truly be regarded as an experienced enthusiast of romantic fiction.

When Li Xuezhen had originally gone to Beidu, Wang Kexin had already begun obsessively reading novels and shipping Li Xuezhen with her supervising lawyer.

Now that she had joined the firm.

After understanding the specific circumstances, the restlessness in her heart burned even more strongly.

Su Bai: “???”

Was it not said that university students are all clear eyed and pure.

No, how did they all go astray?
