However, there's no need to bring up the past. If she mentioned it again, someone might just cough up blood!
After a melodious ringtone, the call connected.
Lu Mingjun's throat tightened with excitement—she could barely speak.
In the end, it was Professor Jiang who spoke first.
His voice carried obvious joy. "Mingjun, you're calling me at this hour—have you made up your mind? City S is a great choice. The economy there…"
Before her mentor could finish, Lu Mingjun immediately said, "Boss, I want to go!"
For Lu Mingjun, the words I want to go had come a lifetime too late.
There was a moment of surprise on the other end before Professor Jiang laughed heartily.
"Good, good! Lu Mingjun, I can tell you with full confidence—you've made an extremely wise decision!"
In Professor Jiang's view, with Lu Mingjun's comprehension and ability, he was certain he'd hear good news from her in less than five years.
"Mingjun, five years—just five! I bet you'll become a well-known lawyer," Professor Jiang said with conviction.
After all, the director of the law firm he was recommending her to was also one of his former students. And when it came to his students, they were like family—how could he not look after her?
Thinking of that particular student, Professor Jiang felt a familiar sense of pride.
It had been just over ten years since that student graduated, and now they had already founded a respectable firm. As expected—his students were all outstanding!
Hearing this, Lu Mingjun felt a moment of trance.
Professor Jiang had said similar things to her many times in her previous life. But back then, she lacked the confidence and wasn't sure whether she could really succeed.
Sigh… it was she who let Boss Jiang down.
Now, hearing his encouragement again, Lu Mingjun responded firmly, "Boss, believe me! In three to five years, I will definitely achieve something!"
After being reborn, she carried with her more than ten years of work experience in a multinational company. She now had full confidence in herself.
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Professor Jiang burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha! Kid, you've changed so much in just a few days! Good—you should be more confident!"
"Go do what you want to do. If anything goes wrong, call me. I'll be there to help you!" he said generously, extending his full support to his favorite student.
Hearing this, Lu Mingjun's heart tightened a little. Her boss had always treated her well.
It was such a pity she hadn't known how to cherish it in her previous life.
Just like that, with Professor Jiang's help, Lu Mingjun's path to rebirth officially began.
The law firm that Professor Jiang introduced her to was a rising star located far away in S City Park.
The director of the firm, Jiang Xinxin, was also one of Professor Jiang's students—making her Lu Mingjun's senior.
Lu Mingjun looked up general information about the firm online.
It was a newly established practice, located in the Financial Building of S City Park, and currently had 19 practicing lawyers.
Among those, 7 had resigned from the courts and started their own careers. These individuals brought with them strong networks and resources, making it much easier to establish themselves.
The remaining 12 hadn't left the system but, as Lu Mingjun discovered through her research, all had fairly deep connections within the local scene.
It could be said that this was a small but powerful firm.
They were never short of cases, which made it the perfect environment for someone like Lu Mingjun, who had no background or support.
Without delay, Lu Mingjun had a brief phone call with Jiang Xinxin, the director of S City's Xinxing Law Firm.
Of course, they both understood that this was more than a simple conversation—it was essentially an interview in disguise.
