Chapter 338: I Want to Be Looked Upon
ββIt's Qiao Jingjia's call.
Mu Zening frowned and answered the phone.
Qiao Jingjia asked him to meet.
Mu Zening had just finished the call with Murong Cheng, and now his mind was full of those time bomb-like photos, and he was really in no mood to go to the appointment.
But Qiao Jingjia choked up and said, "Ze Ning, now only you can help me......"
He remembered Qiao Jingjia's dedication to him, and remembered that Mu Zi said that Qiao Jingjia had left the procuratorate, so he finally sighed and agreed to meet.
Half an hour later, Mu Zening drove to a cafΓ© in the city and met the haggard Qiao Jingjia.
Although the clothes and makeup are still exquisite, a person's eyes and momentum are difficult to disguise, and Mu Zening can see Qiao Jingjia's frustration and decadence.
"What happened?" Mu Zening asked her, "I heard that you resigned?" β
Qiao Jingjia's eyes were red, and before she could answer, tears poured up first, crystal tears hung on the edge of her eyelashes, trembling slightly and not dripping, looking like I was pitiful.
Mu Zening took a few tissues from the table and handed them to her.
Qiao Jingjia wiped away her tears before saying, "...... After the demotion, I wanted to work hard, but ...... I just can't stay any longer, and the procuratorate has no place for me. β
As he spoke, he looked like he was going to cry again.
If it was usual, Mu Zening would probably comfort a few words, but he was really irritable today, and asked in a hard tone: "What's going on?" β
Qiao Jingjia knew Mu Zening's temperament very well, she accepted it when she saw it, no longer blindly pitiful, and explained to him in a soft voice-
In Xia Chen'an's case, she said that she was taking the blame for the chief prosecutor, and after becoming an intern, she said that she not only encountered gender discrimination in the workplace, but also suffered from the pain of harassment in the workplace, and had no way out, so she had to resign and leave.
She cried and cried, and was aggrieved in every way.
In the past, whatever Qiao Jingjia said, Mu Zening would believe it.
But what has happened recently is one after another, Qiao Jingjia's reputation has been consumed by most of it, and Mu Zening has a half-believing attitude towards what she said, whether it is discrimination or harassment.
Regarding her resignation from the procuratorate, Mu Zening didn't know what to say, so she only said lightly: "You have an academic background, a beautiful resume, and it's not bad to change careers to do other jobs, I heard that many prosecutors have changed careers to become lawyers." β
Lawyer?
Qiao Jingjia frowned subconsciously.
The same is engaged in law-related work, and when it comes to social status, lawyers are far inferior to prosecutors!
When it comes to lawyers, people always have the impression of being philistines and money first, because those who can afford to hire a lawyer seem to be rich, and as long as the price is high enough, no matter how vicious the criminal, there will be a lawyer willing to defend him.
This is not the case with prosecutors, a profession dedicated to fighting all evils, born with an aura that satisfies people's illusions of nobility and justice.
Qiao Jingjia wanted to be looked up to, so she chose this profession, but unfortunately she lost in the end.
But even if she loses, she doesn't want to give up on her original intention.
"Can I ask my eldest brother to introduce you to a suitable law firm, or are you planning to do other work?" Mu Zening asked her.
He thought that Qiao Jingjia was looking for a job, so he called him for help.
Qiao Jingjia didn't mean this, and said in a hesitant tone: "I have already made some arrangements for work, and I am looking for you today because my father wants to see you." β
"Mayor Joe wants to see me?" Mu Zening was puzzled, "Why?" β
Qiao Jingjia's cheeks were slightly red, "Dad, he'...... He thought we were dating and had always wanted to meet you officially. β
