Ling Li scratched the tip of her nose in embarrassment and squeezed out a smile: "Master, it's so obvious?" ”

Zhu Jinchuan's face remained unchanged: "I see that you are lacking sleep, what's wrong?" Do you stay up late reading novels or scroll through the circle of friends until you forget the time? There are also assistants for the four small cases, so they won't be tired like this, right? ”

His words didn't leave a way for Ling Li to retreat, which made her suddenly feel resentful.

Zhu Jinchuan himself is a veteran who has been doing it for so many years, and naturally knows that before the trial, in addition to reading the file records, cross-examination opinions, asking questions and presenting evidence outlines, debate outlines and so on, after the trial, there are defense statements to prepare, and it is possible to submit legal opinions, which are not very complicated, but they are all work that takes time to pile up, and she has four cases in her hands at once, and they all have to be heard in the same month, why don't you have to stay up late?

It's really standing and talking without back pain!

Ling Li lowered her head, threw the pen in her hand, and said angrily: "I'm stupid, there's no way, who is like you with a glance and ten lines?" ”

After saying all the complaining words, she reacted, this is not a confrontation with Zhu Jinchuan in public, what is it?

It's over, the head is very unawake if you don't get enough sleep, just bow your head and admit your mistake at this time, why do you still want to provoke Zhu Dazhi? If he gets angry and has a poisonous mouth, one word can make her defeat like a mountain.

Fortunately, Zhu Jinchuan didn't mean anything more serious with her, and looked at her with a smile: "I see that you are quite resentful, is the weather too hot so you are short-tempered?" ”

Ling Li drooped, glanced obliquely at the nearby window, and said, "It's too hot." ”

Following his words, he symbolically softened.

Zhu Jinchuan glanced at her a few times, suddenly smiled, and then took out a car key with the W logo from his pocket and threw it on her desktop.

Before Ling Li could react to what was going on, he explained: "You use this car temporarily, drive it when you go out to run business, save time, and avoid affecting your temper." ”

She was pleasantly surprised and was about to say thank you, but Zhu Jinchuan had already added with a smile: "The fuel fee can be reimbursed, and the rent will be deducted from your salary, which will take effect next month." ”

Ling Li was stunned for a moment, and then wailed: "No, I'm poor enough. ”

And Assistant Min, who was standing aside, had a reluctant smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face was unnatural.

At lunchtime, Lu Xiaoxiao stared at her and kept snickering.

Ling Li couldn't understand what she was happy about, so she stabbed her in the face and asked, "Did you pick up five million today?" ”

Lu Xiaoxiao knocked her hand off and said, "Don't you see the wonderful expression of your little assistant, you can simply develop a 'envy, jealousy and hate' emoji." ”

“？？？” Ling Li had a straw in her mouth, and she didn't understand where her words came from.

Lu Xiaoxiao threw down her chopsticks and told her with gossip on her face Today, she secretly observed from her office that someone was trying to meddle in the matter between Zhu Jinchuan and Ling Li, the master and apprentice.

According to Lu Xiaoxiao, she could see it clearly, and Assistant Min obviously picked up the defense statement and said that Ling Li had corrected it wrong after seeing Zhu Jinchuan's shadow passing through the door.

Her intention to do this was obvious, that is, to point out Ling Li's mistakes in front of Zhu Jinchuan, not only to prove that she was serious and diligent, but also to faintly pit Ling Li, so that Zhu Jinchuan knew that she had made a mistake carelessly.

This is what is commonly said, stepping on someone else's upper position.

Lu Xiaoxiao said playing, and couldn't stop sneering: "Now the little girl is really good, don't you improve your business ability and read more books, and put your eyes on the male lawyer every day, this one has only been in for a few days, and I know that I will use your feet to find a sense of existence in front of Lao Zhutou, just a small assistant, if I become a lawyer in the future, then I don't come to you every day to slap your face?" ”

Ling Li twitched the corner of her mouth: "But it's just a typo, how can it be?" Do you think too badly of people? ”

"What do I think bad? Have you forgotten Qi Wan's white lotus? It's just a typo, and she can fix it, so why bother to point out your mistakes while the boss is there? ”

When Lu Xiaoxiao said this, she slapped the table unconvinced, and said bitterly to the little white flower in front of her: "You must know that your colleagues are basically the most slippery people in this society who like to take advantage of loopholes. ”

However, Ling Li still waved her hand indifferently: "It's too trivial, in short, I just need to be careful about myself, and I don't care if she wants to calculate me every day, it's too tiring." If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if she comes to provoke me, I'll be like stepping on a hot old fritter anyway, who is afraid of whom? ”

"If you are really an old fritter, I won't worry," Lu Xiaoxiao poked a finger at her eyebrows, and then looked at her for a long time, "The little slut who covets Lao Zhu's beauty must be a wave, but whoever has a little idea about him, your embarrassing apprentice is the one who bears the brunt, either wooing you or suppressing you, and I am afraid that there will be no shortage of open guns and hidden arrows and sugar-coated shells in the future." ”

Ling Li's eyes were turned around by her, and she suddenly became a little curious after recovering her mind.

So he approached Lu Xiaoxiao, lowered his voice, and asked, "Why do I think that my master seems to be very good in your mouth, but I don't see where he can attract women?" ”

"Do you need to say?" Lu Xiaoxiao picked out the green and red peppers that she didn't eat without raising her head, threw them into Ling Li's bowl, and then rolled her eyes, "Are you blind or stupid, what does your master look like, don't you count it in your heart?" ”

Ling Li was choked by her, and carefully recalled Zhu Jinchuan's face.

If you want to say handsome, she admits it, but she is not so handsome that everyone is angry, and he is old and divorced, although there are no traces of time on his face, how can a little girl in her twenties like Assistant Min be interested in him?

It's a bit of a, right?

"Do you understand the frigidity?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her twice, and knew that Ling Li couldn't figure it out.

She took a sip of the chicken soup and said slowly: "The little girl loves this kind of unsmiling hypocrisy the most, so she dresses up every day, and doesn't pee and look in the mirror, and see if she can earn a few dollars for Lao Zhu and want to warm his bed?" Bite off more than one can chew. ”

Ling Li listened to her more and more disliked, and hurriedly crossed her hands in front of her chest and compared an X: "Stop, aren't you afraid that I will sell you one day?" Every day I say that my master is a hypocrisy, and I think you are not serious. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao pursed the corners of her lips, glanced at her, and pinched the orchid finger: "I'm not improper, I'm not improper, I was specially sent by the Buddha to ignite your elm head, and it is not as good as your family facial paralysis master will only let you go." ”

Hearing the word facial paralysis, Ling Li couldn't help laughing, which was also her earliest impression of Zhu Jinchuan.

Gradually, though, she changed her impression.

It's not that he has no expression, but he is relatively calm, so that he will not be seen through in an instant, and it is probably a skill he has honed as a lawyer for many years.

At least, when he took her to handle Tang Aoxue's case, he showed a lot of emotions, including anger, sadness, and decisiveness, and she even saw Zhu Jinchuan's complex emotions when facing Yu Wenzhong and Xue Yin, as well as the involuntary smile on the corner of his mouth when he recalled Ling Ling, and the tenderness in his eyes.

can make him smile so gently after many years of mourning, their relationship back then must be very beautiful, right?

Lu Xiaoxiao was first dazzled by her stretched and relaxed smiling face, and then infected by the faint sadness between her eyebrows, only to feel that the little rookie in front of her seemed to be different.

She suddenly remembered the previous unclear public case, and knocked her hand on the table, with some curiosity in her eyes: "Anyway, after that night of drunkenness, spit out the truth, Comrade Little Cabbage, did you show any special love for you?" ”

Hearing her mention Nan Zhiyi, Ling Li's mood sank a little.

Since that drunkenness, she has been holding back a lot these days.

After that drunken scene, she could feel Nan Zhiyi's very obvious estrangement, except for regretting how she wanted to make a farce of drinking and spitting out the truth, she couldn't help but think of the warmth he once gave her.

At that time, he was vicious and disgusting, but he was very arrogant and did not defend her at all, not at all like he is now polite but indifferent and alienated.

On the one hand, I was fed up with his imminent departure, and I really wanted to leave like this. But on the other hand, as long as she remembers his former gentleness, a heart can come back to life, and it seems that a little warmth in his palm can help her survive the whole winter.

In the past few days, she has been tormented repeatedly in two completely contradictory emotions, and she is very sad, so her work state is very low.

It was rare for someone to ask about this, so Ling Li told Lu Xiaoxiao what happened after that night, 1510.

The more Lu Xiaoxiao listened, the more bizarre she felt, if it weren't for the fact that she was in public, she would have screamed if she couldn't keep it.

She didn't understand Nan Zhiyi's hot and cold attitude, but Ling Li was a little indifferent.

She smiled wryly: "After all, I haven't experienced his world, so I don't know if moodiness is the standard for people like him." Anyway, now, I feel a little warm in my heart, and I still keep it when he doesn't let me hand over the key to 1801, but I don't know how long this enthusiasm can be maintained. ”

Lu Xiaoxiao patted her heart with palpitations: "Fortunately, I stopped the loss in time at that time, and saw the essence of this strange person through the box of bugs." I don't dare to give you ideas, ordinary routines don't work on him. ”

Ling Li nodded and never said anything more.

However, the ripples in her heart that she said lightly just now could not be stopped at once, and her mood was affected.

At least one afternoon, she would think about it in her head from time to time, which caused her to not be in such a good state of work.

Zhu Jinchuan saw her listless appearance, and took the initiative to let her go home to rest.

Ling Li didn't shirk anymore, hastily packed up her things, took the file that was about to be used in court and carefully packed it in a cloth bag, and took it home to take a good look at it.

The case is very simple, and she can't make mistakes, and while reviewing the case, she can also fill her time with work and avoid cranky thoughts.

When she came home from work, she had dinner when she passed by her uncle's house, and then put on her headphones and listened to the white noise of running water or waves inside, and worked overtime intently.

After browsing the prosecution's materials almost word by word, Ling Li breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to spread out the notebook to sort out the defense ideas again, when the room suddenly darkened.

Only the light of the laptop screen was left in the huge space, faint blue, and it could not spread far in the darkness.
