Ke Xue: An outlaw, a maniac who sets out to usurp the throne! Chapter 071

By the time Jiang Heng returned to the law firm, it was already four-thirty in the afternoon.

And the person who wanted to inquire about joining… seemed to have been waiting for a while.

After greeting the receptionist, Jiang Heng led the person directly into his office.

“Sit, tea or coffee?” Jiang Heng instinctively sized up the other person.

Actually, the person in front of him wasn’t young anymore, around forty years old…

Perhaps they had recently encountered something troublesome.

Despite the exquisite makeup covering her face, there was an undeniable weariness deep in her eyes.

“Just plain water, please.” Sakihara Megumi glanced at Miyano Akemi, feeling a little embarrassed.

Miyano Akemi instinctively looked at Sakihara Megumi’s state, thought for a moment—

Finally, she brought over a cup of orange-red liquid.

Sakihara Megumi instinctively took it, paused “ 780”: “This is?”

“You look like you haven’t rested well lately. This is a calming tea…”

“It helps regulate your mood.” With that, Miyano Akemi instinctively glanced at Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng merely smiled, and after gesturing for Sakihara Megumi to drink the tea, he thoughtfully said.

“Lawyer Yamamoto mentioned that you’re interested in joining the firm?”

Lawyer Yamamoto was a young lawyer at Jiang Heng’s law firm.

Although not as famous as Jiang Heng, he was also a standout among the younger generation.

Hmm… he specialized in resolving juvenile delinquency cases!

“Yes…” Sakihara Megumi instinctively straightened up.

She awkwardly pulled out a resume and handed it to Jiang Heng.

“To be recommended by Lawyer Yamamoto means your basic qualifications are sufficient.”

Jiang Heng shook his head: “However—”

Before he could finish, Sakihara Megumi interrupted: “I know…”

“I have indeed been a housewife for over ten years, but I haven’t forgotten my previous knowledge.”

“And if I can join, I can start from a general assistant position!”

“The law firm doesn’t need general assistants,” Jiang Heng said sternly.

As Sakihara Megumi’s gaze gradually dimmed, Jiang Heng immediately added: “But—”

“As long as you meet the basic requirements, no matter what your previous experience was like.”

“As long as you pass the entrance exam, you can join the law firm!”

“Of course, Yamamoto should have told you.”

“No matter who it is, when they first join the law firm, they can only start from the lowest level…”

“After that, promotions will be based on cases and ability.”

“I understand all of this, and I like it very much,” Sakihara Megumi’s eyes lit up.

“Then there’s no problem,” Jiang Heng nodded.

“However, you… probably don’t want to take the exam today, do you?”

“Yes…” Sakihara Megumi hesitated and nodded.

“Something happened in my family recently, which made me want to find a job.”

“But—”

Before she could finish, Jiang Heng directly and meaningfully took over: “The law firm isn’t afraid of trouble.”

“But, we also support you in resolving your own issues first.”

“If you encounter any difficulties in the interim that require a lawyer, you might consider contacting me…”

As soon as he said this, Miyano Akemi conveniently took a business card from Jiang Heng and handed it to Sakihara Megumi.

Looking at the light business card in her hand, Sakihara Megumi’s eyes lit up.

“I… I am so grateful. I’ve gained a lot today.”

“Please rest assured, I will resolve my family matters as soon as possible and then come to the law firm.”

With that, Sakihara Megumi stood up and bowed to Jiang Heng.

Then, she didn’t stay long with Jiang Heng and quickly left…

Miyano Akemi returned after seeing her out, looking at Jiang Heng with some confusion.

“Miss Sakihara… seems a bit old?”

Regarding the age issue, Miyano Akemi certainly wasn’t thinking of anything inappropriate, but rather—

In Jiang Heng’s law firm, although there were lawyers over forty, they were all famous in their field.

At the very least, they were very capable.

Compared to those people, Sakihara Megumi… seemed completely unremarkable.

She could even be described as somewhat ordinary.

“She is a bit old, but she still has a good foundation,” Jiang Heng tapped his fingers on the desk.

“Sakihara Megumi’s father was once a great lawyer.”

“Although he died at the peak of his career, his connections were not insignificant…”

“And these connections are now in Sakihara Megumi’s hands.”

Furthermore—

Sakihara Megumi, who seemed to have been “ordinary” by life’s struggles, also seemed to be someone brave enough to resist… 0

Jiang Heng was also looking forward to Sakihara Megumi’s future “efforts”… (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“I see,” Miyano Akemi nodded thoughtfully.

…

The next day was a rather special day, Valentine’s Day!

Although there were many Valentine’s Days in the world of Conan, it was still a good holiday for those with or without partners…

However, Jiang Heng didn’t specially prepare anything.

Instead, as he was about to leave the law firm, he received an invitation from Suzuki Sonoko.

[Suzuki Sonoko: Jiang Heng, are you free tonight?]

[Jiang Heng: Yes, what’s up?]

[Suzuki Sonoko: It’s like this, a brute invited Ran and me to a Valentine’s Day party. I’m afraid someone at the party might have ill intentions, do you want to come along?]

At the same time, Suzuki Sonoko, who had just sent this message, couldn’t help but chuckle twice.

This made Mouri Ran curious, and she instinctively turned her head to look…

After seeing the message Suzuki Sonoko had just sent, Mouri Ran couldn’t help but say helplessly.

“Sonoko, how can you say something like that to Jiang Heng?”

“Why can’t I say it to Jiang Heng?” Suzuki Sonoko blinked.

She looked at Mouri Ran teasingly: “Today is Valentine’s Day!”

“It’s the annual Valentine’s Day, don’t you want to spend it with Jiang Heng?”

“But, this…” Mouri Ran’s face turned red.

Of course, she wanted to spend it with him, but Mouri Ran was indeed too embarrassed to take the initiative.

Actually, in the morning, Mouri Ran had been tapping away on her phone.[]

She even… had chocolates prepared in her bag.

However, in the end, she was too embarrassed to send anything.

“But this party was invited by someone else.”

Thinking of what happened after school, Mouri Ran sighed slightly.

At that time, Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko were directly blocked on the road by a burly man—

He invited Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko to a Valentine’s Day party…

According to Mouri Ran’s original intention, she wanted to refuse.

However, Suzuki Sonoko, for some reason, directly agreed, bypassing Mouri Ran.

“What does that matter?” Suzuki Sonoko shrugged.

She smiled, somewhat lewdly.
