novelTravelling to M Mall
| ← Ch.028 | Ch.030 → |
Assistant Wang realised that Hou Yi was angry, by the time he had gotten into the car, and realised that getting him and Anna Jones away from Fengs, and to M Mall was a priority.
Anna, could see that Hou Yi, was angry about what had happened in Fengs. She was terrified that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin would force their way into the room, find her there with Hou Yi, physically hurt her, and find out about her and Hou Yi's, marriage. Keeping the latter from there was highly important as she wanted her revenge on her timetable, not dictated by the.
She turned and touched Hou Yi on the arm, and with that he looked directly at her "Do you want to tell me what happened?"
"Let us just say, Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin showed their true colours, acting like the spoilt entitled children, rather that mature adults. Yang Lin, even demanded when she was told that the ring set she wanted had been sold to someone else, who paid for it, that they had to return it, purchase for themselves another set and she receive the set she wanted for free simply as she was inconvenienced. I told them to stop abusing staff, and that the would not get what they wanted. As you can imagine they threatened me."Hou Yi paused, and then continued "The more they keep doing this the more I cannot wait to help you bring them down!Do you have any plans yet?"
"Well ... I was thinking that we should not do much initially. I am guessing Lu Jinhu is expecting as of tomorrow to own your family's company, so just knowing for the moment he did not get something he felt was his is good enough to start. It will annoy him so much to figure out that you are married, but not who you are married to. I do not want him to realise that it me at the moment. Keep him wondering for a while. Knowing him, he will take out his frustrations on Yang Lin, whether verbally or physically, and that will mess with her sense of entitlement. In denying them what they wanted at Fengs, it has added to their frustration. As will finding out tomorrow I am not on the flight that they demanded that I be on, or they would have me arrested. The rest will come in the future."
"True. They will not take well to having what they want denied." Replied Hou Yi."Changing subjects, I recall earlier you said you where a lawyer. Do you want to tell me a little about your work, as we have a few minutes before we reach M Mall?"
"Well I completed my combined Commerce and Law degree, 5 years ago when I was 21. I was bright enough that in primary school I skipped a grade, meaning that I was 17 when I finished high school and started university. As I took enough summary school classes and had permission to do course overloads, I was able to complete, and due to taking summer school courses, some through other universities, I was able to complete the requirements to be awarded my degree in 4 years, rather than the normal 5 years. I was lucky that not only did I secure a job at ANX Lawyers, in Melbourne, but I was able to quickly complete the professional course necessary to be, what is called 'admitted', but which is a fancy way of saying that the legal system recognised that I had he education and skill to be recognised as a lawyer. I have worked at ANX Lawyers, since then starting was a junior lawyer and working my way up within the firm. There is a potential that the partners of the firm would look within the next couple of years of inviting me to become a partner of the firm."
What she said, absolutely eliminated any doubts for Hou Yi, if he had any by now, that Anna was the woman he had seen and fell for 6 months ago when he visited ANX Lawyers."What sort of work do you do?"
"Well the firm's general speciality is commercial law, dealing with international issues for local clients and assisting international clients in Australia. But it also covers most aspects of what we call Commercial Law, sales, purchases, taxation issues and anything else that might be associated with it. However, the firm's founding principals realised that those issues are not in isolation. We can be representing clients that have other issues, for example criminal charges, immigration issues, needing to protect assets, marriage breakdowns, and created a small generalist practice that ran alongside the commercial practice and complements this. I work in that area, and I love it constantly changes, and usually I can make a difference working there. I try and avoid the commercial work, as I cannot stand it, but that is not always possible."
"So, which is your favourite area of law?"
"I love ..."
"Before Anna could continue, Assistant Wang interrupted them."Young Master, Young Madam, we have arrived at M Mall."With that he stopped the car and opened the door for Hou Yi to get out first. Hour Yi turned and helped Anna. 𝐟rℯℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝓷o𝘃e𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
"Assistant Wang, could you part the car, and then come and find me to give me the keys. I have one task I need you to do back at the office, and they you can go home for the night. I will send you a message with the task to your phone."
With that, he escorted Anna to a door which had a buzzer next to it and pressed the buzzer."M Mall VIP Service, how can I help you?" came an almost robotic reply.
