Chapter Thirty-Six: Trying to Capture the Past
The short close encounter in the elevator made Jian Chi nervous, and he quickly returned to his usual indifference
Qin Zhi was reflecting on whether his eyes were well concealed just now, and whether it would expose his thoughts
The cautious lawyer Qin thought for a long time and decided to temporarily reduce his contact with Jian Chi in the next time, because he was afraid that he would lose everything if he made a mistake, and his eyes really couldn't deceive people
Jian Chi always thought of Qin Zhi holding her in the past two days and looking at her in the elevator, did there be any other thoughts hidden in it?
She subconsciously thought, let's keep a certain distance from Qin Zhi from tomorrow, after all, it seems that she took the initiative to contact him before, the man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, what if it causes Qin Zhi's misunderstanding?
It's just that she didn't expect that in the next week, she never met Qin Zhi again during her morning run, and there was no more traffic jam when he got off work at night and asked her to help keep the takeaway
She seemed to have returned to the life she had before she knew Qin Zhi
Except for occasionally meeting Brother Hong and sister-in-law Hong in the community, chatting a few words, Brother Hong sometimes asks why he hasn't met Qin Zhi recently, this person seems to have disappeared from the community
At this time, Jian Chi will feel how funny he was thinking about the idea of distancing himself from Qin Zhi before, maybe people want to stay away from you even more
You really feel so good about yourself, you think that if you meet a man, you will like you after a few contacts?
Jian Chi mocked himself, and made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, he would not think about it again
Qin Zhi didn't deliberately avoid Jian Chi, and even he didn't expect that the phone that he hung up on Saturday was a call from the customer Shi Qianqian introduced to him
He didn't answer when the unfamiliar number called, followed by Shi Qianqian's number, he didn't dare not answer, the phone was connected, but it was a strange man's voice on the other end
The other party communicated with him in broken English, and he realized that this was the customer introduced to him by Shi Qianqian, who was next to her at the time, and saw that Qin Zhi did not answer the other party's call, so he used his mobile phone to call him and asked the other party to communicate directly with Qin Zhi
This is an Italian company, and when it wanted to negotiate a patent transaction with a large domestic company, the executives of the Italian headquarters and a senior lawyer within it flew to China several times, but the transaction did not go smoothly
Shi Qianqian happened to be very familiar with the executive, and inadvertently mentioned that Qin Zhi was a commercial law lawyer proficient in the field of intellectual property, and immediately said that she wanted to have a phone call with Qin Zhi for preliminary communication
Qin Zhi listened for a few minutes and learned that the business between the two parties had not progressed due to the disagreement in the core transaction structure, and immediately gave the other party suggestions for solutions
After hearing this, the other party gained a lot, so he made an appointment with Qin Zhi to go directly to Qin Zhi's law firm to negotiate with the company's senior lawyers in two days, and if he could, he hoped that Qin Zhi could be fully entrusted with the patent transaction business
Qin Zhi did not dare to slack off, this was the first international patent transaction business since the establishment of Yizhi, and it involved a wide range of detailed rules, which he could not complete independently
In the next few days, he first communicated with the other party's executives and lawyers about their expectations for the patent transaction, and then arranged for Xu Jiayang to collect all the patented technology content of the domestic company for analysis
He also flew to City B to consult a senior of his peers on the process and methods of handling cases with similar transaction problems in the past
He was so busy that he was dizzy, and Chu Yan was afraid that Jian Chi would forget him, so he deliberately took happiness and ran to Jialan to find her
At half past six in the afternoon, Jian Chi put away the things on the table and put them in the drawer, and saw Chu Yan walking into the consultation room with a smile and a smile
She smiled and asked, "Bring happiness to do nursing again?"
Chu Yan smiled and nodded, touched the hair on her happy back and said, "I haven't had classes in the past two days, so I came back to accompany it."
Jian Chi gave a thumbs up to praise her for her intentions as a master
Chu Yan watched Jian Chi take off the doctor's robe and hang it in the cabinet in the consultation room, and asked weakly: "Sister Jian, can I follow you and go to your community to play?" I haven't seen my brother for a long time, I want to scare him."
Jian Chi happily agreed: "Of course it's no problem, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner"
Chu Yan jumped up and said happily, "I want to eat something delicious."
Jian Chi rubbed his happy head a few times and said loudly: "Let's go, take you to eat fragrant and spicy food"
One man and one dog happily followed Jian Chi
Jian Chi first called Xiao Chen, who was a private dishman, so that he didn't have to deliver takeout, and told him that she would take a friend to the store for dinner tonight
Xiao Chen also specially asked her: "Is it Lawyer Qin on the 23rd floor?"
Jian Chi said no, and he also muttered: "Lawyer Qin hasn't ordered a meal for more than ten days, is he not used to eating our food......?"
When she sat down in the restaurant, Chu Yan looked left and right, looking very novel
Jian Chi thought about it, and when the words came to his lips, he still held back if he wanted to ask, handed the recipe to Chu Yan and said, "Look, what do you want to eat?"
Chu Yan waved her hand and replied neatly: "It's okay, I don't pick, you can order it for me according to your taste, I also want to taste new flavors."
"Okay, then I won't care about you, just call the shots"
Jian Chi called three dishes that he usually thought tasted good, and when he returned the recipe to Xiao Chen, he didn't notice that Chu Yanzheng secretly sent a WeChat message to Qin Zhi
"Brother Zhi, Doctor Jian and I are having dinner at a restaurant next to your community, do you want to come?"
Qin Zhi, who was still discussing things with several lawyers in the law firm, glanced at the unread message, saw that it was Chu Yan's avatar, ignored it, put down his mobile phone and returned to the topic of discussion just now
Chu Yan waited for a long time and didn't see him reply, a little disappointed
Jian Chi saw that she was a little sullen, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chu Yan hurriedly shook her head and explained, "No, no, I just sent a message to Brother Zhi, and he hasn't replied to me, I'm just a little worried about him."
Jian Chi was puzzled: "He's such a big person, do you still need to worry?"
Chu Yan sighed and said half-truthfully: "You don't know, Brother Zhi doesn't know how to take care of himself at all, he hasn't been home for dinner for a long time, and his uncle is very worried about him......"
After saying a few words, she asked Jian Chi again: "Have you seen my straight brother usually, how does he look, is he in good spirits?"
Jian Chi smiled and said, "No, I haven't seen him recently"
Chu Yan thought to herself, what's the matter with Brother Zhi? Didn't he swear to chase Doctor Jian before? Why didn't he make any moves at all now, did he change his mind?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and after looking at WeChat, she still didn't reply, so she called Qin Zhi directly
"Now the client wants to ...... the licensing time Sorry, I'll answer the phone first."
Qin Zhi's speech was interrupted, he picked up his mobile phone and pressed the answer button "Hey"
"Brother Zhi, are you busy?"
Chu Yan asked cautiously, and Jian Chi, who was sitting opposite, glanced at her and turned his gaze away
Qin Zhi asked directly: "What's the matter?"
Chu Yan hurriedly said, "It's nothing urgent, it's just that I happened to be eating at the restaurant next to your community, I want to ask when you will come back, do you want to wait for you?"
"No, I don't know how long I'm going to be busy"
Qin Zhi just wanted to hang up the phone after answering, and asked again: "Are you alone?" Do you want to ask Qin Feng to pick you up?"
"No, no, I'm with Dr. Jane, she invited me to dinner, and after eating, I had fun in the community for a while, and I just took a taxi back."
Chu Yan smiled at Jian Chi as she spoke, and then said, "Brother Zhi, I won't bother you if you're busy, my uncle called you to go home when you were free...... Okay, let's do it first......"
Chu Yan hung up the phone and said with a sigh: "Brother Zhi is really a workaholic, I just heard the voice of a bunch of people talking to him."
She shook her head, put her hands on her cheeks and said, "I'll be a junior next year, and I'll have to work soon, time is really fast."
Jian Chi teased her: "You can find a rich man to marry early, so that you don't have to worry about food, clothing, and work."
"That's not going to work"
Chu Yan put down her hand and looked serious: "If you want me to do nothing at home, I won't do anything if I am killed, women, you still have to have your own financial resources, and you must not rely on men...... Besides, it's hard to find reliable men now......"
Jian Chi couldn't help but laugh softly when she saw that her young face was still childish, and the words that came out of her mouth were old-fashioned
Seeing her smiling happily, Chu Yan rolled her eyes and asked, "Doctor Jian, what do you think of my direct brother?"
Jian Chi looked up at her: "What? want to pull me in?"
Chu Yan nodded violently, Brother Zhi is not active, she has to take the initiative, otherwise what if Doctor Jian is abducted by someone else
Jian Chi looked at her with an expectant face, and replied with a smile: "As far as I know about Lawyer Qin at present, he is a good person and has a strong sense of dedication."
Chu Yan was overjoyed: "Then are you willing to be my brother's girlfriend?"
Jian Chi smiled: "Hey, you can figure it out, Lawyer Qin is good, doesn't mean I'm going to be his girlfriend, right?"
Chu Yan patted her chest, raised her chin, and said confidently: "Doctor Jian, you are beautiful, my brother will never object, it's ......"
Chu Yan thought for a while, moved a chair and sat next to Jian Chi, and said flatteringly: "Doctor Jian, think about it, my brother has never been in love, he is the same as my uncle, if you like anyone, you will only be kind to her in this life, it is difficult for you to find such a man......"
"Stop, Stop, Stop"
Jian Chitou made a stop gesture with his hand, and said seriously: "I think it's good to follow the fate of emotional things, you can't force it, your straight brother is so good, I believe he will definitely find someone he likes, you don't have to worry about him"
Chu Yan was unwilling to say more, Jian Chi gave her a boo look, motioned for her to sit back opposite, and just as the dishes were also served, she picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Chu Yan: "Eat, eat."
Chu Yan shrugged her shoulders weakly, took the chopsticks and concentrated on eating
After eating, Jian Chi and Chu Yan walked around the community a few times with happiness, and Chu Yan offered to leave
Declining Jian Chi's kindness to send her to the car, Chu Yan walked out of the door, thought about it for a while, and still called Qin Zhi
"Hey"
Qin Zhi's voice sounded
Chu Yan swallowed her saliva and asked directly, "Brother Zhi, don't you like Doctor Jian again?"
Qin Zhi asked puzzledly, "Why do you ask that?"
"I asked Doctor Jane, she hasn't seen you for a long time, do you want to give up and don't want to chase Doctor Jane anymore?"
Qin Zhi was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "Cousin, do you know what it means to want to be captured?"
