Lin Zixuan looked at Zhang Yu, who was smiling warmly, and understood a little, "But Mom, why are you saying this?"
"He is uncertain about his future now, of course he’s panicking. There’s no one to help him now, so he’ll definitely cling to ."
"And he’s your father. Even though you don’t need his support, if his life doesn’t go well, he’ll absolutely rely on you."
So people, when they’re on top, act with dignity, but once they hit rock bottom, face-saving, etc., all beco unimportant; the only thing that matters is money.
"Now that I’ve advised him, he will definitely try to make connections, aiming to beco a so-called stock expert on TV." Don’t just listen to those few career paths I ntioned, Lin Yu will certainly choose this one.
Lin Zixuan didn’t understand why Zhang Yu was so certain, "He didn’t say that."
"So things really don’t need to be said straight; you can guess a bit and figure it out. Starting from scratch by visiting clients is very rare now. Even if there are opportunities, he can’t bring himself to do it."
"Back when we were just college students, even if we found it embarrassing, we had no choice; to secure a footing in the unit, you must put aside your pride, unless your family is strong enough to provide direct projects for you."
"At that ti, your dad really worked hard, visited many clients every day, faced quite a few rejections. Don’t just listen to him boasting to you and the newbies saying he often uses those days to encourage himself."
"I’m telling you, it’s all just supposedly motivational talks to fool you newbies. If your dad tried now, he absolutely couldn’t put his pride aside and besides, it would spread everywhere, maybe before he grabs a project, he’d be notorious in the financial circle again."
"Teaching at a university, that’s even more impossible. He’s just a graduate himself, how could he educate students?"
"If he mixed well in the circle, getting an honorary professor title at an ordinary university was possible, but the university giving him this honor definitely has its own motives."
"For example, arranging internships for finance students through his connections, and if possible, securing a few job placents, etc."
"He may not have had the strength for this before, let alone now, so this path definitely won’t work."
"As for living a retirent life, that’s even less likely, he probably doesn’t have enough capital, and over the years, he’s been spending capriciously. Suddenly relying on stock market earnings to live, he may not adapt."
Zhang Yu actually thinks Lin Yu may not be able to guarantee his stock market returns, might even get trapped, so how could he dare, "Money, as they say, only devalues."
"Once you’ve been away from the finance circle for a long ti, returning is very difficult, people connections are virtually gone."
Lin Zixuan quietly listened on the side, suddenly bursting out, "Mom, if I don’t work in finance, will our family lose connections in the financial circle?"
Lin Zixuan couldn’t help but worry if his choice was the right one.
Seeing the anxious young man, Zhang Yu burst out laughing, patting his head, "You have to know that even if you mix in the finance circle, if your skills are lacking, it will fade just the sa."
"Your dad and I have told you before, this circle is very real; once you fall, many are just waiting to take a bite out of you, and the chances of soone helping are slim."
"If you’re capable, even if you’re not in the sa circle, they’ll be delighted to get to know you, and be in touch, you never know when you might be of use."
"Son, you should know, the financial circle and legal circle are connected; financial players really need lawyers." For instance, signing contracts, litigation, "and having a legal advisor."
"A lawyer proficient in law has a promising future." Zhang Yu knows the young man has studied this area.
"Knowing a bit about everything is not as good as specializing in one field, like divorce, economic disputes, and criminal matters, etc."
Lin Zixuan nodded continuously, then suddenly said, "Mom, during the sumr vacation, I want to work at a law firm."
Ah, working at a law firm, Zhang Yu was a bit surprised by the young man’s choice but of course fully supportive, "Do you want to drop a word to the lawyers there?"
Generally, law firms welco interns, though Lin Zixuan can’t help with professional matters, he can run errands, copy docunts, etc.
Lin Zixuan shook his head, "No need, I’ve already discussed it with Mike; during the sumr break, we’re going to work at his dad’s law firm."
Wow, Zhang Yu didn’t expect her son not only had ideas but had already taken action and secured an internship, "I rember Mike’s dad’s law firm is quite large, isn’t it?"
Usually, such large law firms don’t lack interns, Lin Zixuan, a high schooler, might not learn much, it’s purely going to do manual work.
"It’s decent, Mom. As a high schooler at a law firm, I can only do errands, serve tea, copy docunts, go wherever needed. I definitely can’t handle professional matters, those are for law interns."
"I’m just going ahead to experience the bustling of a law firm." The young man clearly knows his position.
A clear-headed young man, "Alright, by the way, as an intern with a connection, will you be paid?"
Zhang Yu figured even if there’s paynt, it won’t be much, most likely just minimum hourly wage.
"Yes, minimum hourly wage, als are self-funded." Lin Zixuan guessed it would barely cover al costs.
Being able to cover als, Zhang Yu found it quite surprising, "Not bad, I was already prepared to pitch in money where needed."
Zhang Yu quickly finished her airplane al and then prepared to rest her eyes, "Alright, rest, we’ll be there when we wake up."
There are things to handle after landing, "Tomorrow you go to practice by yourself, I have work to do." Initially thought she had no work on weekends, but then she got an urgent task.
No choice, being a freelancer, if soone cos to you, you absolutely can’t turn work away, otherwise who will look for you later.
Let alone, urgent tasks pay faster, there’s no reason to push them away, they must be taken.
Lin Zixuan was already used to Zhang Yu’s sudden busy state, after eating, he quickly lay down too, only unlike Zhang Yu who fell straight asleep, he was listening to French lessons in his headphones.
Listening, the young man quickly dozed off. When Zhang Yu woke halfway through the flight, she found the young man asleep with headphones still on, so she went over and casually turned off the lessons; as for the headphones, let him wear them.
Turning on her device to deal with affairs, she simultaneously hailed a passing flight attendant for a cup of i Ka, ah, the working life’s tough.
