Chapter 1020: Government’s Acknowledgement
As Ning Shu’s studies progressed, she was able to grasp the basics of debate methodology. This allowed her win rates during the mock trial class to gradually increase.
More people also started to come to Ning Shu for help with lawsuits. Actually, the success rates in filing a lawsuit weren’t very high for Chinese people in this foreign country. After all, the nation’s law favored the natives, so Ning Shu had to do her best to obtain victory in lawsuits that were biased before the court session even began.
As of now, all that was in Ning Shu’s brain was laws, laws, and more laws. She felt like she gone into qi deviation.
It was her first time ever being this dedicated to something aside from the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. Not only did the process of debate test one’s reaction ability and courage, most importantly, it required a calm heart. No matter what the situation was like, you had to stay rational in order to turn the tide and obtain victory.
Ning Shu discovered that over the course of all these debates, she was now able to stay calm without even needing to recite the heart-clearing chant.
As the number of times Ning Shu went to court increased, a lot of the natives started asking Ning Shu to fight lawsuits for them, but Ning Shu politely refused all of them. She usually only fought lawsuits for Chinese people.
Ning Shu even received an invitation from the Chinese consulate. They asked her to become one of the Chinese consulate’s lawyers and work with the other lawyers to help the Chinese people that came to the consulate for help.
Ning Shu happily accepted this job. The nation stood behind the Chinese consulate and having this work experience on her resume would definitely add honor and glory.
The sharp weapons of a nation weren’t for an individual to possess. No matter how strong Chu Xiaoran was, there was no way he was stronger than a nation.
Aside from this, Ning Shu also used the money in her possession to invest in a Chinese restaurant. The chef was a man Ning Shu had helped fight a lawsuit for. Although they had managed to win the lawsuit by a narrow margin, he still lost his job.
So Ning Shu invested in a Chinese restaurant for him and his wife to run. The business was alright. Since Ning Shu was a lawyer of the Chinese consulate, very few people came to cause trouble for the restaurant. Some people dared to bully Chinese people, but they still didn’t dare to outright oppose the consulate, to outright oppose a country.
This allowed Ning Shu to gain steady income. One pleasant surprise was that the profits increased each time. After a while, Ning Shu ended up with a good sum of money.
Originally Ning Shu had planned to return to China after two years, but things ended up dragging on to three years. The deeper and thicker she made her root here, the easier it would be for her to defeat Chu Xiaoran when she went back.
Right now, all that was on Ning Shu’s mind was to work hard at the consulate. She fought to help the Chinese people who came for help win their lawsuits in this extremely unfair situation.
The moment that the three years’ time was up, Ning Shu returned to China with the recommendation letter of the consulate. This recommendation letter had the seal of the consulate, so it was more valuable than anything. It represented the government’s acknowledgement of her.
Once Ning Shu got off the plane, the first thing she did was go home. She consoled Mother Xu who had cried for a good while, then said to Father Xu who was forcefully suppressing his excitement, “Dad, I’m back.”
“It’s good that you’re back.” Father Xu nodded.
Mother Xu made a lot of food for Ning Shu, saying that she had suffered abroad and that she had to eat more.
Ning Shu ate all the food Mother Xu got for her. When she saw that the Xu family parents were healthy and well, she inwardly sighed in relief.
Although the Xu family parents always said that they were fine whenever she called, she had still been uneasy.
