Chapter 312: She doesn’t have this ability. Chapter 312: She doesn’t have this ability. That night, after returning home, An Li’en, as usual, put the children to bed and was intimate with his wife. However, he could never have anticipated what was to happen.
The next morning, as he entered the law firm, he was immediately summoned into the office by the person in charge.
“Li’en, about the matter on the internet, it’s been several days now…”
“Mr. Yang, rest assured, I will resolve this matter very soon,” he responded.
“It’s not that,” the other party interrupted An Li’en. “We’re not questioning your character. It’s just that your situation has caused significant reputational damage to our firm, do you understand? Everyone needs to make a living, and because of your incident, our business has been dismal lately, putting pressure on all of us. So I’m sorry, but the firm probably cannot keep you on.”
Upon hearing these words, An Li’en’s smile instantly froze on his face.
“I’ve already had finance calculate your salary. Consider this as helping everyone out, alright?” With that, the person pretended to be busy and said, “That’s all. You can hand over your work and leave. I have other matters to attend to, so please go ahead.”
An Li’en clenched his fists tightly, his face darkening as he left the charge person’s office.
Only then did the person in charge pat his chest and say, “Such a person, I dare not keep. The entire industry has sent down a blacklist order. No one would dare to hire him; that would be courting death.”
This was the handiwork of General Yan.
A capitalist’s matter of a mere phone call.
Since An Li’en didn’t want to engage in “mortal world” matters with Shi Lan, then they were all too willing to play dirty.
An Li’en thought it was just his company’s problem. Therefore, even after being dismissed from the firm, he was not in a hurry, seemingly unaware of the gravity of the situation.
Shi Lan had already given him a chance to come clean, but he did not cherish it.
So, even if he wanted to speak out in the future… there would be no chance.
On the same day, his wife was also dismissed by her company. Even though she was a manager at a cosmetics company, the higher-ups found a trivial excuse to send her home. If the dismissal of An Zijun and his wife was due to An Zijun tarnishing the hospital’s reputation, then An Li’en and his wife didn’t even know what they did wrong. Especially An Li’en’s wife, who had kept a low profile and wasn’t involved in the online vitriol, saw her years of career ruined overnight.
An Li’en’s wife returned home extremely dejected, only to see her similarly silent husband.
Before the couple could speak, the door was pushed open by their parents, as the kindergarten had refunded their fees and would no longer take in their child.
It was at this point that An Li’en realized someone was deliberately messing with him from behind the scenes.
This must be An Lan’s doing, but how could An Lan have such power?
“Stay at home and don’t go out for the next few days. I’m going to find out what exactly has happened,” he told his family.
After instructing his family, An Li’en called a close friend. It was then, through his friend, that he learned about the industry-wide blacklist order.
“Li’en, you had better find out exactly who your little cousin is. I feel like you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have. I’ve never heard of such an industry-wide blacklist order, but apparently, every law firm large and small has been notified that hiring you would mean certain doom,” the friend said.
An Li’en simply didn’t believe it.
“She doesn’t have that kind of pull. I’ve already checked; she still owes a breach-of-contract fee to Heavenly King,” he asserted.
“Believe it or not, that’s your choice, but I’ve delivered the message,” the friend said on the phone.
