Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 103, Section 101: A Young Man Arrives at the Law Firm
Nanhu Creative Industry Service Park is a magical place.

To some extent, this represents just the tip of the iceberg of the next stage of development plans for Jiangcheng, a major city in education.

More than a decade later, extending university research projects to industrial parks and enterprises will become a daily routine for teachers and students at several schools in Nanhu.

The area surrounding Nanhu Lake is home to several universities, including Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics, Nanhu University, Textile University, and Jiangcheng Vocational College, forming an open, park-like educational environment.

In Nanhu Industrial Park, a unique "school + park + city" employment and education cycle ecosystem has been formed.

Each company that moves into the park will sign a school-enterprise cooperation agreement with the park.

It accepts students from several universities near Nanhu for work-study programs, internships, and practical training, and jointly develops courses, research and development projects, and formulates talent training programs.

Of course, these are all for later.

At this time in 2014, Nanhu Industrial Park was in its infancy, with most office buildings vacant and everything still in its nascent stage.

The office buildings in the park are actually used most frequently by entrepreneurial projects derived from the surrounding universities, as well as various research projects led by professors.

In Nanhu Industrial Park, near Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics, in Building 1 of Block B, a long-established law firm has opened its doors.

—Leying Law Firm.

"Xiaxia, this is Li Zhi. She's interning with us for a while now. Please mentor her."

"She also has prior experience in administrative work, so she can be your assistant."

At nine o'clock in the morning, Han Qiulan, a senior partner at Leying Law Firm, pushed open the door, followed by a quiet, short-haired girl.

"No problem! Don't worry, Director Han."

Upon hearing the voice, practicing lawyer Zhuo Luxia stood up, walked over with her small leather shoes clicking, and smiled as she looked at the new assistant in front of her.

"You're Li Zhi, right? Come this way with me~"

Zhuo Luxia, 29 years old this year, is recognized by Leying Law Firm as an elite with outstanding business capabilities.

In addition to her professional skills, she also has a knack for judging people and situations.

The first glance at Li Zhi gave me a general impression.

An intern, a beautiful intern.

A person with connections or influence.

Although Han Qiulan is a senior partner in the firm, she also has several other social identities.

For example, a professor at the law school of Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics.

For example, a key member of the Jiangcheng City Law Society.

Professor Han has countless students, and many interns come to the law firm under his guise, but very few are personally brought there by him.

"Please sit next to me; it'll make it easier for us to communicate."

Zhuo Luxia was very friendly, smiling as she pointed to the workstation not far away.

"Just tell me what you need, and I'll apply for it for you in advance. The password is xxxxxx."

"Thank you, Attorney Zhuo."

Li Zhi, with her sharp eyes, had noticed the name tag on her chest early on and politely thanked her with pursed lips.

"No need to be so polite. I'm not much older than you. Just call me Sister Xia."

Zhuo Luxia chuckled, appearing completely approachable and friendly, without any airs of superior or subordinate.

"Okay, Sister Xia."

The short-haired girl responded, rolled up her sleeves, pulled out a wet wipe, and wiped the table.

"Little sister, which school did you graduate from?"

Zhuo Luxia crossed her arms and stood smiling next to Li Zhi's workstation, asking the question.

"Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics. But I haven't graduated yet."

"Oh, so she's my direct junior!"

The first step of the networking was successful.

Zhuo Luxia smiled and took a bag of wafer biscuits from the drawer, handing it to Li Zhi.

Are you a junior, senior, or pursuing a master's degree this year?

Jiangcheng University of Economics and Law is one of the so-called "Five Institutes and Four Departments" and is also the highest institution of law in Central China.

Despite not being a 985 university, Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics' law program once ranked among the top 4 in the country, surpassing Tsinghua University's law program. This is the "insider" circle of the five colleges and four departments.

Top-tier law firms emphasize alumni background, while ordinary law firms, though not as strict, inevitably touch upon this topic during casual conversations.

"I?"

Upon hearing Zhuo Luxia's voice, Li Zhi was slightly taken aback.

"I'm a freshman this year."

She only carried a brown leather clutch, and her fitted tan suit jacket was draped over her shoulders. The moment she turned her head, she exuded a subtle aura of a legal elite.

"Freshman year?"

Zhuo Luxia bit her lip, looking at Li Zhi with a half-smile, hesitant to speak.

After gathering enough information, she immediately began to reason, as was her habit.

Why would Han Qiulan let a freshman be her assistant?

She knows perfectly well how busy she is!
Where do I find the time and patience to teach newbies?
unless
This female student in front of me has connections!
"Director Han just mentioned that you've done administrative work?"

Zhuo Luxia rubbed her cheeks, subtly continuing to probe.

"Yes."

Li Zhi nodded gently.

“I interned at the court when I started school. I was assigned to the case filing division and usually sat at the window of the litigation service center.”

"Okay~"

Zhuo Luxia smiled and snapped her fingers, immediately offering praise.

"Then you're from a regular military background, so you'll definitely have no problem with filing, archiving, and organizing materials!"

"But hey, little sister, you're really ambitious."

"You're only a freshman! Instead of enjoying your college life and dating, you're running around to courts and law firms. Why make yourself so tired?"

The approachable lawyer, arms crossed, looked at the short-haired girl with a smile.

"I don't want to either."

The latter pouted, "I have no choice in the matter."

"Hahahaha"

Immediately afterwards, silvery laughter rang out from the workstation.

"Come, come, let me show you around the institute!"

In just a few words, Zhuo Luxia was 100% certain.

This younger sister named Li Zhi definitely has a very powerful background.

Out of politeness, she refrained from asking further questions about the details.

But having been immersed in the industry for so long, she certainly understands.

What does it mean that freshmen can be parachuted into court internships and then seamlessly transferred to Leying Law Firm?

Planning, advising, and strategizing.

The fact that her family could start planning during her freshman year of college and easily get involved in relevant departments demonstrates a certain level of capability.

not to mention.
Zhuo Luxia, upon entering society, had a keen eye for detail.

She immediately recognized the brown leather clutch that Li Zhi had casually placed on her workstation; it was a new seasonal product from a luxury brand.

Let's take a look at the short-haired girl's outfit, demeanor, and speech.

What's wrong with teaching newbies?
Zhuo Luxia took a deep breath, patted her cheeks, and made her smile even brighter.

All morning, the clattering sound of high heels echoed throughout the entire office.

An elegant and composed female lawyer and a young and beautiful legal assistant quickly became close friends, and they were a sight to behold even sitting at their desks.

Zhuo Luxia personally brought over a stack of case files, rolled up her sleeves, and began to teach Li Zhi the various work details, word by word.

The kind-hearted lawyer sister loves mentoring newbies!
