Teng Zhongqian was right, Tang Xien wanted a career the most.

The sense of accomplishment brought by career success and the social status brought by it are incomparable to no matter how sweet love is.

The more children she has, the more limited time she has to devote to her career, and the narrower the direction of her future career will be.

She worked so hard to come out of Ruanjia Village, crossed the ocean to the United States, endured so many hardships, and studied so much, not to marry into the Fu family and help the Fu family inherit the lineage.

The news brought by Teng Zhongqian did make Tang Xien a little unhappy, but she would not complain about the Fu family's wrongs in front of Teng Zhongqian.

She eased her emotions a little and said, "I will discuss this matter with Shi Yu." And, you know my character, he can't force me to do anything. ”

Teng Zhongqian looked at her with disappointment in his eyes: "En, you know what Dad means, it's definitely not just dissatisfaction with the Fu family asking you to give birth to three boys." You're so smart, why don't you look at the essence? ”

Tang Xien avoided his gaze.

"I'll just say two things-" Teng Zhongqian's attitude calmed down, "The forced palace of the female lawyer surnamed Jiang, and the accidental death of the daughter of the Jian family." In these two things, how did the Fu family behave? They behave as if they didn't even consider your feelings and asked you to have three boys. When something happens to you, they shrink up; You're all right, and they smile and follow as if nothing had happened. ”

Teng Zhongqian said a little too much, Tang Xien was emotional, and shouted in a high tone: "Dad! Can you stop saying that? ”

This "Dad" shouted Teng Zhongqian off guard.

He looked at Tang Xien in astonishment at first, but after a while, his face, which was still a little angry, suddenly laughed, and above his head, there seemed to be a large colorful salute ringing out.

He was so happy that his tone lowered: "Okay." ”

Tang Xien also realized that he suddenly shouted just now, confronted Teng Zhongqian for a moment, lowered his head a little uncomfortably, and took a sip of coffee to relieve the embarrassment.

The father and daughter sat silently for a while, and then Tang Xien said lightly: "Aunt Liang has come forward to deal with the matter of the female lawyer surnamed Jiang forcing the palace, and her attitude is very strong. It is inevitable that the old man will be soft-hearted, one eats fast and recites Buddha and does not dare to kill, and it is inconvenient to say more about women's affairs, and it is okay to hand over the handling power to me, a person who has not yet passed the door. ”

"What about the Jane family?"

"That's not to blame the Fu family for not doing anything. The Fu family is in business, and has always been low-key, although they didn't run for my affairs, but they also went to the Jian family privately and proposed huge compensation. A lot of times, it's not that they don't do it, it's that they don't have the ability. ”

Seeing that Tang Xien was defending the Fu family every word and excusing the Fu family's inaction, Teng Zhongqian shook his head heartache and helplessly, he wanted to say "the female is not staying", but he was afraid that this sentence would arouse Tang Xien's disgust, so he swallowed it in the end.

He asked instead, "How is your mother?" The doctor told him to get out of bed and move around less, did he follow it? ”

"Yes."

"Remember to go back for a review in a month."

"Yes."

Tang Xien wanted to ask Teng Zhongqian how he knew what the doctor had explained, but when he thought that the chief doctor was all asked by him to operate on Li Miaolian, he probably understood that he had learned about the situation from the doctor.

After sitting for a while, Teng Zhongqian asked, "What are your plans next?" ”

Tang Xien said: "I have submitted a few resumes in the past few days, and when the time comes, I will see if there is a law firm that wants me, if so, I still want to engage in foreign-related business, if not, I plan to work in a classmate's American-funded group." ”

Teng Zhongqian nodded: "If you need Dad's help, feel free to say it." ”

"Okay, I will."

"When you go to work, who will take care of your mother?"

"I have a caregiver during the day, and I can take care of it at night."

The two later chatted about Li Miaolian's physical condition, and it was almost evening, Tang Xien hurried back to cook for Li Miaolian, and Teng Zhongqian also set off back to City B.

When he went upstairs, Tang Xien remembered that he forgot to ask Teng Zhongqian if he had quarreled with his wife and daughter because of her affairs after returning from the Fu family in the second year of junior high school.

But then I thought about it, it didn't make sense to ask that, Teng Zhongqian would definitely not tell her the truth, so he didn't bother anymore.

-

After a few days, Tang Xien received several calls informing her of interviews, which were mostly from some local offices in Z City.

Since there is neither a port nor any enterprises specializing in exporting products, these small local offices have almost no external and no foreign business.

interviewed her law firm partner, and saw that she was a Harvard JD, and her education and previous qualifications even exceeded the partner herself, and most of them felt that her conditions were too good, and the temple could not afford her big Buddha, so many of them politely rejected her.

Therefore, Tang Xien participated in countless interviews in a week, but in the end, he did not find a law firm willing to ask her. Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly flipped through Jiang Yao's business card in her bag.

She tried to call Jiang Yao and explain the situation, and Jiang Yao promised to reply to her as soon as possible. In less than half a day, Jiang Yao sent her the coordinates and asked her to bring her resume to their company for an interview at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Tang Xien got up to help Li Miaolian prepare breakfast and lunch, explained some things to take care of, and set off from the apartment at nine o'clock to go to Jiang Yao.

The relationship between her and Jiang Yao before her sophomore year of high school was very average, and it can be said that it was just a passer-by relationship. It's just that as one of the few top female students in the science class, an incident happened in 2006 that brought them closer.

In July 2006, she and Jiang Yao represented the school respectively, one went to City B to participate in the Olympiad and the other went to Wuhan to participate in the World Robot Competition.

Unsurprisingly, she and Jiang Yao both brought back the champions of the junior group of the competition.

The school held a commendation meeting, and the two of them sat backstage waiting to speak on stage. The two top students stayed backstage at the same time, so that the air in that small backstage was much thinner.

Since then, they have become classmates with whom they have a good relationship. It's just that after the college entrance examination, Tang Xien went to the University of Hong Kong to study law, and Jiang Yao went to Germany to study machinery. Both of them studied hard, one went to the library every day, the other went to the laboratory, and they didn't have time to contact each other more, but Tang Xien went back to Z City to participate in the class reunion in the past two years, and only then did he get in touch with Jiang Yao, who had just returned from Germany.

The car arrived at an industrial park in the suburbs, and Tang Xien found a company listed as "ST Industrial Co., Ltd." according to the navigation.

The enterprise looks very large, and the yard in front of the building alone is at least seventy or eighty acres.

After Tang Xien called Jiang Yao, he waited for her in the car, and after a while, he saw Jiang Yao wearing a light gray engineer costume walking out of it.

She was about to open the door for a while, so she drove the car in, when suddenly a call came in from her mobile phone. Seeing that it was a local landline number from City B, she pressed the answer button on the steering wheel: "Hello, I'm Tang Xien." ”

"Lawyer Tang?"

The man on the other end of the phone, his voice was in the middle of the pitch, and when he heard it, he was much older than Tang Xien, and Tang Xien quickly changed his title: "I am, may I ask who you are?" ”

The other party said: "I am Director Li of the Department of Treaty and Law of the Ministry of Commerce, do you have time to meet?" ”
