Chapter 1625: Pressed to the Ground and Rubbed
Mahadi Saliyev Law Firm has become the largest full-service law firm in the eastern United States since its establishment.
Their clients include political parties from D.C., large and medium-sized enterprises across the country, emerging giants and multinational capital.
It is an honor to mention the name Mahathir Saliyev in the judicial circles.
Fresh graduates from the Ivy League are proud to be able to intern at law firms, and the recruitment of interns is only open to graduates from higher education institutions.
With Li as a major client, the development of Mahadi Saliyev Law Firm has been stable.
First, he bought a five-story building near Wall Street as his own office, and then opened branches in Chicago, Los Angeles and D.C.
Mahathir is even more high-spirited and has a successful career. Although he has not yet started a family, his life is very nourishing.
Until a chance encounter led him to meet his school dream girl, Daniela Van Gaal.
It was a very ordinary day. Mahathir went to the office to hold a partners’ meeting and was about to leave after it was over.
The person who walked out of the elevator happened to be Daniela Van Gaal who had come to apply for the job.
"Van Gaal?"
"Mahathir?"
"Long time no see, are you here?" Mahathir looked at her curiously, feeling a little excited inside.
When she was in school, Daniela Van Gaal was the first in her class and her performance was particularly outstanding. In addition, she was beautiful and left a deep impression on Mahathir.
However, she got married soon after graduation, making those guys who had just graduated and were still struggling lose hope.
More than 20 years have passed, and she is still beautiful and charming. Not only has she not become older, but she has gained a bit more mature charm.
"I'm here to apply for a job, what about you?" Looking at Mahathir's clothes, Van Gaal smiled in embarrassment.
Mahathir smiled and said; "I work here." He then pointed to the signboard behind the front desk, "Mahadi Saliyev."
"Are you Mahathir?" Daniella Van Gaal looked at him in surprise.
"If you mean the one on the sign, it's me." Mahathir smiled extremely happily.
Being able to show off in front of the goddess of that year made him feel particularly excited.
Daniella Van Gaal looked at him with a strange expression, with mixed feelings in her heart.
When she gave up her career and chose to get married, everyone envied her for marrying a good husband.
Looking back, her life was in a mess, and those who envied her at the beginning have now become the objects of her envy.
The little man who used to be an unattractive man became the named partner of the largest law firm in the eastern United States. How did he do it?
The two did not chat for long. Mahathir was still rushing to meet his clients, and the Democratic Committee from D.C. was waiting for him.
After saying goodbye in a hurry, Mahathir could no longer forget her presence.
When she returned to the company, Daniela Van Gaal had already left.
"Bring me your resume for today's application." After asking his assistant to bring the resume, Mahathir asked casually, "Has the internship name been added?"
As usual, they will select five interns at a time for a three-month internship period.
After the three months are over, 1 to 2 people out of the five will be left and will be decided based on performance.
The assistant pointed to the five resumes and said, "They are all here."
After Mahathir looked through his resume, he found that Daniela Van Gaal's name was not in it. "Are the other people's resumes still there?"
"Here, do you need me to bring them?" Seeing the boss nodding, the assistant quickly brought back the other 20 or so resumes.
These resumes were originally meant to be taken to the archives room, from which replacements could be selected for emergency response when necessary.
Because I was too busy today, I didn't have time to put them into files, so I put them all on her desk.
I found Daniela Van Gaal's resume, and the X stamped on it was particularly eye-catching. This X meant that she had been completely excluded.
Even if none of the five interns qualified, there would be no place for her on the candidate list.
Compared with fresh graduates who are young and energetic and can devote themselves to their work.
Daniella Van Gaal, who has stopped working for 20 years and has two children, has no advantages at all.
"Ask her to resubmit a resume." Handing her resume to his assistant, Mahathir casually picked one out of the five winners, "This one is not suitable!"
The assistant didn't understand what was going on, but she knew that the unlucky ones who were chosen lost their chance of working at the law firm.
And the ‘older woman’ who was least favored by the partners was favored by her boss and got this rare and valuable internship job.
In this way, with Mahathir's help, Daniela Van Gaal successfully joined the law firm and restarted her career after 20 years.
When she received the call, Daniela Van Gaal couldn't believe her ears.
She had heard too many 'rejections' from smaller law firms, or even small workshops with only one office, all rejecting her resume.
She has not had a job for 20 years, is past her energetic grade, and has two children at home. These conditions are all barriers that prevent her from returning to the workplace.
Not to mention the company boss, even Daniela Van Gaal knows very well that she has no advantage over those highly educated young people.
But now she actually got a long-coveted job, and Van Gaal specially opened a bottle of $99 red wine to celebrate.
From the first day she started working, Van Gaal knew she had to work harder than everyone else, and she didn’t want to be eliminated after the internship.
Her performance is pretty good, she works very hard, and with Mahathir's care, it can be said that she is somewhat beyond the expectations of the partners.
But compared to others, the partners didn't think she had any reason to stay, so moderation was not a good option.
The other four people have their own specialties.
What's more important is that they are in their prime, are not burdened by family, have more time to devote to work, and have greater room for learning and progress.
It was also Mahathir who approached the managing partner and asked him to change his mind before the vote. Only then did Van Gaal get his wish and stay and officially join the law firm.
Mahathir took her almost step by step, from intern, to full-time employee, to partner, and named partner.
She is just one step away from taking the position of managing partner, on an equal footing with Mahathir, and becoming the head of Mahathir Saliyev Van Gaal's law firm.
A lot of things happened during this period, including Van Gaal's divorce, and there were some disputes about their relationship and getting along with their children.
No matter what, Mahathir never expected that at the most critical moment, the woman who stabbed him in the back would be the woman he thought would accompany him for the rest of his life.
He really thought he would walk into the church with Van Gaal. He even had the ring ready, but in reality he was pushed to the ground and rubbed hard like a bitch.
