After thinking for a while, Jiang Xinxin said, "Let's put the Shunde Real Estate case aside for now. I've looked at it. We can deal with it after the National Day holiday. It won't be a big problem."

Wang Lulu did not refute, but nodded, and then said: "You were originally scheduled to meet with Mr. Li and others in the afternoon, but now the matter has been completed. Look, what about Dean Chen's matter..."

Jiang Xinxin frowned in disgust, then asked, "How is Miao Qingchuan doing recently?"

Wang Lulu replied calmly, "Four words: average. She has lowered her head these days. However, her professional ability is still not good enough. Lawyer Jiang who is in charge of her has complained about it several times."

Jiang Xinxin nodded and said, "Please make an appointment for me with Dean Chen to visit at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Wang Lulu nodded, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, Jiang Xinxin said, "Ask Miao Qingchuan to come over!"

Wang Lulu paused, but still advised: "Some people don't want to take the right path, but prefer to take the crooked path. You should just ignore them."

Jiang Xinxin shook her head: "Don't worry about it, just call her over!"

Although Wang Lulu was a little puzzled, she still followed Jiang Xinxin's instructions and turned to leave the office. After a while, Miao Qingchuan came to Jiang Xinxin's office.

Miao Qingchuan seemed a little nervous. She stood at the door, knocked gently, and then walked in cautiously.

Jiang Xinxin looked up at her, with no emotion in her eyes.

"Qingchuan is here, please sit down." Jiang Xinxin pointed to the chair opposite and motioned her to sit down.

Miao Qingchuan sat down carefully, clasping his hands together, looking a little uneasy.

Jiang Xinxin looked at her, sighed softly, and then said, "Qingchuan, how long have you been in our office?"

Miao Qingchuan's eyes turned red when she heard this. She lowered her head and said softly, "Director Jiang, I have been here for more than a year..."

"You've only been a trainee lawyer for over a year," Jiang Xinxin interrupted her. "Lawyer Jiang hasn't let you graduate yet. Isn't that too harsh on you?"

Miao Qingchuan raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes. She choked and said, "Director Jiang, I tried very hard, but Lawyer Jiang's requirements were too high..."

Jiang Xinxin looked at her, and the disappointment in her eyes became more and more obvious.

Miao Qingchuan was not stupid. Seeing Jiang Xinxin's disappointment, she lowered her head and her voice gradually disappeared.

Jiang Xinxin sighed when she saw this, and she said softly: "Qingchuan, you are not cut out for this job."

"Director Jiang, I..." Miao Qingchuan raised his head suddenly and asked anxiously, "Director Jiang, I will change it!"

Jiang Xinxin shook her head, she stood up and walked to the sofa by the window, and motioned Miao Qingchuan to sit over there.

When Miao Qingchuan sat on the sofa, the bruises on her knees and the cigarette burns on her knees were exposed to the two of them.

Miao Qingchuan was embarrassed for a moment, and she tried her best to pull up the hem of her skirt to cover it up.

Jiang Xinxin shook her head, pointed at the scars on her body, and said, "Qingchuan, you can certainly cover these scars with clothes. In fact, as long as you stop asking for trouble, these scars will disappear over time. But tell me, can you control yourself? Or, do you think you can hide your heart?"

After hearing what Jiang Xinxin said, Miao Qingchuan's face turned red.

Jiang Xinxin spoke so bluntly, so bluntly that she felt Jiang Xinxin already knew everything!

The light in her eyes gradually faded, and she became like a porcelain doll that was about to break at any moment. She said softly, "Thank you Director Jiang for your reminder. I won't bother you anymore!"

Jiang Xinxin sneered when she heard this: "Qingchuan, it's been so long, haven't you noticed the strange look in other people's eyes when they look at you? You don't think that those things are well hidden, do you?"

Miao Qingchuan was struck by Jiang Xinxin's words. She sat there helplessly like a punctured balloon, with tears in her eyes unable to stop falling.

She tried to defend herself with a trembling voice: "Director Jiang, I... I really didn't..."

Jiang Xinxin waved her hand and interrupted her: "Qingchuan, I'm not here to listen to your explanation. I came to you to tell you what is the most important thing for a lawyer? It is integrity, honesty, and adherence to the bottom line of the law. It's not like you, who does whatever it takes to get close to some people, even hurting yourself."

Miao Qingchuan lowered her head and clenched her hands, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She knew she couldn't refute it because what Jiang Xinxin said was true.

"Qingchuan, please go." Jiang Xinxin's voice turned cold, "I don't need someone like you here."

Miao Qingchuan raised her head, her eyes full of shock and despair. She didn't expect Jiang Xinxin to let her go so directly. She asked in a trembling voice: "Director Jiang, I...Is there really no chance for me?"

Jiang Xinxin shook her head: "Qingchuan, you still have a long way to go. I hope you can find a path that really suits you and don't go the wrong way again."

Jiang Xinxin did have good intentions, but unfortunately, Miao Qingchuan didn't buy it.

She suddenly stood up, pointed at Jiang Xinxin and laughed, "You, why do you want to chase me away! Didn't you get to the top this way yourself? What right do you have to say that to me!"

However, in Jiang Xinxin's eyes, Miao Qingchuan's hysteria was like a joke.

She leaned back on the sofa and looked at Miao Qingchuan calmly: "I have come to where I am today because of my ability, my hard work, and my respect for the law. I have never done anything that violates morality or the law."

Miao Qingchuan sneered: "Isn't it too late for you to clear yourself now? Everyone knows how you, Jiang Xinxin, served the former Dean Zhao so submissively."

Jiang Xinxin laughed again when she heard this: "This is what Chen told you, right? Is this how he brainwashed you and made you slowly lose your self-esteem?"

Miao Qingchuan stood there stubbornly, not saying a word. However, silence was already the best answer.

Jiang Xinxin sighed, and then said: "Mr. Chen only told you that I picked up food for the former Dean Zhao and helped him go home. Did he tell you that the old Dean Zhao was my uncle..."

When Miao Qingchuan heard this, her pupils dilated instantly. She seemed so shocked by this sudden news that she was speechless.

After a long while, she stammered, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible..."

Jiang Xinxin looked at her, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "Qingchuan, you don't understand me, nor do you understand the rules of this industry. Do you think what you see is all? Do you think that clinging to the powerful is a shortcut to success?"

Miao Qingchuan lowered her head, her heart filled with confusion.

Jiang Xinxin continued, "Qingchuan, you are not cut out for this job. What's more, your reputation in this circle is already ruined. I advise you to leave S City and start over!"

Seeing that Miao Qingchuan was silent, Jiang Xinxin shook her head and decided to reveal another story: "Do you know how I know about the relationship between you and the guy named Chen?"
