33 Meeting

Lin Yilong usually goes back to the only office of his law firm.

He wouldn't be alone in an empty forest farm, nor would he be alone in an office daze - the only reason to stay in the office for half the year was Bonnie.

After graduating in June, Bonnie returned to Yenching to visit family before returning to Wales. Sitting 9 to 4 at the front desk of the store every day – although there won't be many customers coming to the door.

Because Bonnie, as an intern with work experience, took most of Lin Yilong's work. Lin Yilong's daily work is limited to sending and receiving mail or taking care of his own business - the rest of the time is just going back and forth between the sisters of Yeon, Kingston upon Thames, and Mastach's parents' house.

"So, there's no way I'm going to break the current advisory. At noon on Friday, Lin Yilong politely rejected Samantha's father's request for a job succession, that is, Uncle Tian, who went to London, to terminate the consultant contract and return the consulting fee, "Our consultant has about one year left, and you are welcome to ask questions at any time according to the previously agreed consultation scope, and we will answer them as much as possible." ”

"It's a lot of legal fees. Hanging up, Bonnie, who was in charge of the record, asked.

"It's not too much, around £90,000 a year. Lin Yilong replied in an indifferent tone, "There are only some questions about their financing and investment, and agency fees in other fields are paid separately." ”

"That's not a small amount. ”

"I'm paid to do things. Lin Yilong replied, "You can do what you have to do." ”

"Yes. ”

Because Bonnie is a fellow Yanjing compatriot, and there are only two people in the office, she and Lin Yilong. Lin Yilong also did not strictly follow the office rules of "must speak English when going to work", and the two spoke relatively casually, not only their neighbors, peers, but even their compatriots studying abroad thought that this firm, which had no oriental elements, was an undoubted "mom-and-pop shop" - the two always had lunch together, and passers-by could see Bonnie's extremely gentle look from the window of the reception room of the law firm.

"I have reason to suspect that your relationship with Bonnie is not pure. On Friday afternoon, Ms. Lin and Katie finished dinner at Shangri-La at The Shard, and before dinner they waited in what claims to be the highest lounge in Europe, Katie complained.

"There is no doubt that it is not pure. Lin Yilong said, "I have already told you my thoughts in advance. ”

"But I'm still a little uneasy. ”

"There's nothing to worry about. Lin Yilong replied, "If I want to, the old love has been rekindled the year before last." ”

“...... Why don't you tell me about the ballerina?" asked Katie directly.

"I remember we talking about it. Lin Yilong replied, "Are you sure you really want to meet Amy?"

"I haven't even seen her much, so how can I settle down—if we're going to get along for a long time, at least let me talk to her and see each other. ”

"Isn't it on the opera performance website, doesn't there be Amy's personal information?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically, "And Katie, as a councilor, should be easy to meet Amy inadvertently?"

"But in that case, you won't see anything. Katie was a little anxious, "I really want to know Yilong's aesthetic standards." ”

"Pretty looks, less empty head, and don't be too sensitive. Lin Yilong replied, "Moreover, there is another request that is slightly found strange by others. ”

"What's that?" asked Katie, "it can't be easily controlled by you." ”

"Although that's what I'm considering, it's not much of an 'aesthetic standard'. Lin Yilong replied, "Actually, Katie should have noticed, but she didn't say it." ”

"That is, this aesthetic standard can be seen in Nadia, Vera, and me, but not in Bonnie. Katie muttered to herself, not expecting for a moment any criteria she had overlooked.

"If you think so, I can invite Amy to come and have dinner with us later. Lin Yilong gave Katie this option, "You see Amy, compare it with Bonnie, and you'll know." What do you think of this option?"

"Yes. Katie couldn't contain her curiosity, and then, as if she had thought of something, exclaimed, "Oh hell, if I agree, doesn't that mean I've been tricked?"

"It's fine. Lin Yilong replied, "What other benefits or harms does this have? ”

"It's not okay for me to be amorous. Katie puffed, "Still, I admit I'm curious—curious about that obvious 'aesthetic standard' of yours that you can't think of for the time being." ”

"'Katie, you're in a blind spot'. Lin Yilong magically learned the tone of "Sherlock" and said.

"If you're describing the ballerina in this blind spot, it's really my fault - how could I have confused her with Samantha at the time. Katie exasperated, "If I had been more careful to investigate, there wouldn't have been any of this." ”

"That's right!" Lin Yilong said with a smile. "But, to get back to what we talked about at the beginning—while I can't guess what Bonnie was up to, I have to say that Bonnie wasn't aiming for me. ”

"Why?"

"Because I asked!" Lin Yilong replied, "Or rather, she asked me." ”

"You refused?"

"Katie, you're a little confident in yourself!" Lin Yilong said, "When a competitor whose appearance, figure, and even proud mind are completely defeated appear in front of Bonnie, how can she still have the courage to compete?!"

"I'll just take it as a compliment you have for us. Katie laughed.

"So, do you still want to see Amy tonight?"

"See you still have to see. Katie replied.

"She happened to be performing Manon this afternoon, and it was her first appearance as a principal dancer with the company. Lin Yilong looked at his Line, "Regent's Garden plays an opera at night, and it just so happens that she has nothing to do, so it's okay to ask out and chat with Katie." ”

"Here it is. Katie agreed to Lin Yilong's plan, "Although it was supposed to be me and you, in order to satisfy my curiosity, I gave it up!"

After Lin Yilong got Amy's approval, he changed his meal time and increased the number of people from two to three.

Only 40 minutes later, Amy arrived, wearing a fringed knit with a long skirt, which happened to be very similar to Katie's fringed dress.

"This is Katie, this is Amy. Lin Yilong gave a formal introduction to the two, and no matter how embarrassing the scene was, he still looked as usual.

Both Amy and Katie closed their lips tightly and didn't do much to say anything other than say hello to each other - the two looked at each other curiously, trying to open a breakthrough in each other.

"If you have anything you want to say, you can say it, and if you don't want to say anything, I'll be in charge of translating. Lin Yilong smiled flatteringly.
