At first, Lin Wei thought something had gone wrong at the firm, until Zheng Yuan sidled up to her at lunch and stuttered her name several times. Only after Zheng Yuan haltingly explained the situation did Lin Wei realize the office's strange atmosphere that morning was entirely because of her.
Zheng Yuan admitted that she was initially quite baffled by the situation in the office until she overheard a conversation between two senior female colleagues in the restroom later that morning, which cleared things up.
They were discussing Lin Wei having a boyfriend who was much older than her, old enough to be her father.
Moreover, they claimed he was a married man. Therefore, he could hardly count as Lin Wei's boyfriend. According to them, Lin Wei was merely a mistress only with him for his money. They insisted that the only reason an intern like her could get involved in the law firm's big project was due to her so-called boyfriend's influence.
