Chapter 1007: Recruitment Offer
“Lawyer Xu.” Chu Xiaoran called out to Ning Shu who was walking past him without even looking at him.
Ning Shu paused and turned to look at Chu Xiaoran. “Chairman Chu, what is it?”
Chu Xiaoran walked up to Ning Shu. He was a bit taller than Xu Wenlang. Ning Shu could sense that he was sizing her up, scrutinizing her with animosity.
Chu Xiaoran narrowed his eyes. This man was probably the Big Brother Wenlang that Xia Xiaoman had been talking about. As she was lying below him, she had purposefully tried to make him angry by calling for Big Brother Wenlang.
Chu Xiaoran sized up this man. He had a scholarly aura and gave people a very comfortable feeling like gentle jade. His looks also weren’t bad. Chu Xiaoran narrowed his eyes darkly.
“Chairman Chu, is there something you wanted to see me about?” When Ning Shu saw that Chu Xiaoran was just looking at her while towering over her, she spoke again.
“Lawyer Xu knows me?” Chu Xiaoran spoke as if he was just making idle conversation.
Ning Shu said, “Chairman Chu’s grand reputation is very well known in T City. It’s actually a surprise that Chairman Chu knows a nobody like me.”
“A nobody? To me, you’re nowhere close to being a nobody.” Chu Xiaoran took out a name card and handed it to Ning Shu. “You’re pretty skilled. It’s truly a shame for someone with your talents to stay at that small firm. Come to my company and be my lawyer. The salary will definitely be better.”
Ning Shu was a little surprised. What did Chu Xiaoran mean by this? Ning Shu had no delusions that he was trying to promote her. There was no way he would promote her.
Ning Shu accepted the card with alienating politeness. “Many thanks for such high regard, Chairman Chu.”
Chu Xiaoran’s lips hooked in a dark smile as he patted Ning Shu’s shoulder. However, he did patted with so much force that Ning Shu’s shoulder was almost pushed askew.
Ning Shu’s expression didn’t change in the slightest and she simply continued to look at Chu Xiaoran indifferently. Chu Xiaoran met Ning Shu’s gaze, then opened his car door as he said, “Lawyer Xu, we’ll definitely see each other again.”
After Chu Xiaoran said that, he got in the car and drove off.
Ning Shu glanced down at the elegant name card, then with a faint smile, tore it apart.
Based on Chu Xiaoran’s attitude, he was probably very dissatisfied with her status. He didn’t like her past relationship with Xia Xiaoman.
If he had been serious about running all the way here because he appreciated her talents, she’d just twist her head off.
That arrogant manner made it clear that he had been here to give a show of power.
Ning Shu knew that she currently didn’t have the ability to take revenge on Chu Xiaoran, but there would definitely be a way. Although Chu Xiaoran was strong, there was bound to be someone stronger than him.
When Ning Shu got back home, she was just about to rest when Father Xu who was reading a newspaper in the living room called out to her.
Father Xu and Mother Xu were now both retired. Their retirement wages were very high and Father Xu was still a director of a company, so the Xu family’s lifestyle was pretty good. It was a simple and warm home.
If Xia Xiaoman had married over, she definitely would’ve had a good life.
A life that should’ve been blessed had been ruined by Chu Xiaoran. He had made the Xu family parents send off their son before their hairs had even turned white with age.
Their only son had been killed, and it had even been because of Xia Xiaoman, so the Xu family completely fell out with the Xia family.
Ning Shu endured her exhaustion to sit down in front of Father Xu. “Dad, what is it?”
Father Xu took off his reading glasses and said, “When are you and Xiaoman getting married? You’re not young anymore. Hurry and set things with that girl. Both families know each other well, so you should take advantage of this time while your mom and I are still young and can still help you guys out.”
Ning Shu pressed her lips together. “Let’s talk about this later. For the time being, I have no plans to get married.”
