After a busy morning, Ling Li sorted out the materials for the afternoon meeting, and it was time for lunch in ten minutes.

Lu Xiaoxiao was absent-minded and had been grinding foreign workers all morning, and had been secretly poking and observing Ling Li's every move from the crack in the door. At this time, I saw her close the notebook and take a long breath, and ran to her desk like a wild dog that had taken off the reins: "Go, eat, I'm really thirsty and hungry!" ”

In the fast food restaurant downstairs, Ling Li and Lu Xiaoxiao sat face to face. The waiter came over to take away the menu, and Lu Xiaoxiao immediately began to gossip.

"Who gave you the flowers?" Being thirsty and hungry is not only Lu Xiaoxiao's stomach, but also her restless gossip heart that has been pressing all morning.

Ling Li pretended not to hear her words, and Gu Zuo said to him: "I don't know if the soup noodles in this house are delicious." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao snorted lightly, knowing that she didn't want to say it, but she couldn't pry her mouth open, glanced at her and laughed secretly, and stretched her voice: "Okay, anyway, I only know that it wasn't sent by Nan Zhiyi." ”

This pot doesn't mention the attributes of which pot, it's very good, it's Lu Xiaoxiao.

Ling Li pursed her lips and didn't answer at all. She has too many things to worry about right now, and she doesn't want to dwell on these trivial matters.

Besides, there is a regular meeting to be held in the afternoon, and Zhu Jinchuan, who took advantage of her injury and took a long vacation for more than 20 days, has to personally go into battle to test whether she has waterproofed herself.

Before the order came, the two of them turned their heads to look at the TV hanging on the pillar.

It is no surprise that the TV channel dialed the entertainment channel with the widest audience, and it is no surprise that the entertainment channel is broadcasting the news about Tang Chu's announcement of his retirement from the entertainment industry that has been frantically swiping the screen since yesterday.

This is also very sensational news, a well-known paparazzi in China did not receive the news in advance, the party came out to break the news as soon as possible, there was no middleman to make the difference, and the people who ate melons were all happy.

Ling Li didn't pay much attention to these gossips before, but because of the cases of Yinghong and Qingyin, she learned a little about Tang Chu when she checked the information.

In the past two years, Tang Chu has almost turned red to purple, and the endorsements have been made one after another, and the film appointments have been scheduled for the year after next. This does not take advantage of the popularity of people to make more money, but does not hesitate to breach the contract and wait for a huge amount of money to be claimed, which is really incomprehensible.

Lu Xiaoxiao was obviously also interested in this hottest topic at the moment, and couldn't help but comment.

However, of course, her opinion is different from that of the idle and bored aunts in the morning: "Don't think people are crazy, these people know very well what they are doing." To say that he is sober-minded, Tang Chu is much smarter than those little fresh meat who don't know the height of the sky when they are praised for it. When he was popular, he bravely retired and took the time to learn and improve, which not only succeeded in transformation, but also avoided being targeted by capital and tying too many interests, and later set up his own door step by step. It's a bit harder, but it's much freer. Now you can retreat as soon as you say it, and you need confidence. ”

Ling Li answered without a match: "It's not a mother's treasure ...... if you are sober-minded."

After saying two words, she suddenly realized that she had stepped on Lu Xiaoxiao's thunder point, and she was busy closing her voice and acting honestly.

Lu Xiaoxiao knew very well that Ling Li was unintentional, and she didn't care.

She continued to say her opinion of Tang Chu: "Do you also believe in entertainment news? You know it's not reverse hype? Why does he have a bad mother at home, so women don't get close, in fact, he just doesn't want to be hyped up by those third-rate and fourth-rate actresses who smell fishy and tie up CP to rub the heat. Moreover, according to people familiar with the matter, Tang Chu has a girlfriend, but it has not been exposed, and it is not the rhythm of a good friend who is single for a lifetime that the people who eat melons are keen on......"

As she spoke, the waiter brought something over, so she stopped talking about it.

Ling Li's mushroom and cabbage soup powder, Lu Xiaoxiao's sour soup and fat beef rice, both of them wanted a super large portion, and two bowls the size of an adult's head were placed in front of them, attracting the attention of others.

One eats as much as a cow, and the other eats two people to make up for it, which are all proper and just needed, and they naturally don't care about other people's eyes.

Just after taking a bite, Ling Li's mobile phone on the desktop rang and a text message came in.

Swallowing the hot and fresh powder that had just been sent to her mouth, she picked up her phone and frowned after only one glance.

"Medical Examination Notice?" Ling Li was a little foggy.

Lu Xiaoxiao had just received the news at this time, and she lowered her head and looked at the physical examination notice and exclaimed, "Or is it so urgent tomorrow?" Make no mistake! ”

"Yes," Ling Li nodded in agreement, with a little puzzled on her face: "How can I only notify you today for tomorrow's physical examination." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao muttered to express her dissatisfaction: "I only checked it in October last year, and it's been less than a year since I came again, how can I get fat?" And why didn't Zhu Tou discuss it with me? In this way, if you come here, won't you miss it if you go on a business trip? ”

Reminded by this sentence, Ling Li suddenly remembered her work schedule.

"Looks like I'm going to have to miss it too." She shrugged regretfully: "I made an appointment with the client tomorrow morning, and the time period coincides with the physical examination time, so I can't go." I don't know if there will be a make-up test. ”

And Lu Xiaoxiao was still frowning and thinking about why the physical examination came, and suddenly her face changed: "Could it be that who found out about this matter, so you want to up with the medical examination?" It's no wonder that lately, I always feel that someone is talking behind my back and pointing fingers. ”

After a pause, she stared at Ling Li suspiciously: "Could it be that you betrayed me?" Did Li Guo come to the door? ”

Ling Li was speechless for a while.

Since the child, Lu Xiaoxiao was a little suspicious, and Leng Buding would pull Ling Li to warn her not to disclose her pregnancy, especially not to let Li Guo know, otherwise trouble would be hit.

Although Ling Li has no experience in this area, she can still understand her current psychological situation of gains and losses. Judging from the fact that Li Guo can now sit in the position of the head of the criminal police at a young age, he is definitely not a submissive person.

After Lu Xiaoxiao and him rekindled their old relationship, they could still break off so simply without the original obstacle between the two, which was nothing more than his deliberate connivance and long-term meaning.

But if he knew about Lu Xiaoxiao's pregnancy, he was afraid that he would come back and press him step by step.

But Lu Xiaoxiao has no expectations for Li Guo to be a couple for the rest of her life, so the result of this incident being exposed, if you can't all be happy, it is doomed to a lose-lose end.

Afraid that the Queen's unusually sensitive nerves due to hormonal changes and her always unbridled imagination would have a more unpredictable comprehensive effect, and she said something even more illogical, Ling Li hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop, who cares if you have it?" You're currently the queen of the topic because you've just been promoted to partner, okay? ”

Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a few seconds, nodded approvingly, put on a calm expression, and shook her hair with a little smugness: "That's right, the work performance of this queen is much more exciting than her private life." ”

After taking a sip of rice soup, she raised her eyebrows again: "But I won't go to this physical examination, it doesn't matter if you take blood or something, if you refuse to do an X-ray, you will be suspected." ”

"I can't hide it for long!" Ling Li continued to nibble on the beef sandwich: "In another month or two, everyone will be able to see it." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao took her worry as a deaf ear, threw a flattering glance over, and continued to lower her head to solve the small half-catty meal on the plate.

After the lunch break, it was the regular work meeting presided over by Zhu Jinchuan himself.

Ling Li sat at the end of the long table in the conference room, looking at Zhu Jinchuan who was looking down at the information at the other end of the long table.

He came to work close to one o'clock at noon, the gauze on his arm had been removed, and he didn't seem to have any mobility problems, as always, in a suit and leather shoes, as always, his face was calm as usual, and he still had the same light and breezy expression as before, his eyes were light, and he didn't say a few more words, let alone mention to her that night when she cried until she was about to faint.

And there are not many people in the institute who know about Xue Yin, and insiders such as Sister Lin and Xiaocheng also honestly keep their mouths shut, and they will never say a word to anyone about the events of that day and Zhu Jinchuan's past.

As for the gossip queen Lu Xiaoxiao, she was still too busy to take care of herself during this time, and she didn't even pay attention to why Zhu Jinchuan didn't go to work.

Silence and self-control are like wishing Jinchuan, and he will not take the initiative to mention the past that he is used to burying in the depths of his memory until the necessary moment. From that night when he was forced up by Xue Yin and Qi Wan, he had no choice but to explain the cause and effect to Ling Li.

After that night, as if nothing had happened, he did not say anything about the case, nor did he even comfort her.

Not a phone call, not a text message, not a single soothing look.

It's as if nothing had happened. It's true that nothing happened.

For Zhu Jinchuan, whether it is Ling Ling or Xue Yin, it is already in the past. The two of them ended up dying and going crazy, even if it had little to do with Zhu Jinchuan, he definitely didn't want to take the initiative to mention it.

Zhu Jinchuan, who has experienced such a tragic relationship, even if he can't say that his heart is like ashes, he is probably already in a state of backwater, so the reaction to the fragrant thing of Lu Xiaoxiao's best friend throwing him into his arms will be so strong that he would rather be seriously injured than push the boat downstream.

The only thing he is concerned about now and wants to do well with all his heart is the profession of lawyer.

No wonder, no matter what kind of case, he can make the most accurate judgment decisively and calmly, and he can always figure out the key points at the first time, and for Ling Li, who is implicated in Ling Ling, he can also choose the case he thinks is the most suitable for her among many cases for her to handle.

"Ling Li, it's time for you to talk about the situation of the case in your hand."

She was still stunned, Zhu Jinchuan had already knocked on the long table to remind her, seeing that there was no focus in her eyes, her voice was not loud or small, just enough for everyone present to hear.

"Oh!" Ling Li woke up like a dream, and hurriedly lowered her head and began to flip through the notes that recorded the progress of the case.

But under the gaze of more than 30 pairs of eyes at the regular meeting, she couldn't help but panic. For a while, his face became more and more red, and by the time he found the pages of the progress of the case from the thick pile of materials, it was already half a minute later.

Stabilizing her mind, she explained the case succinctly.

"Regarding the contract dispute between Yuchuang Investment Company and Baishi Optoelectronics Company, it can be said that it is a VAM agreement or a private loan, and the contradictions between the two parties are relatively acute and cannot be reconciled. Our client's request to move the case in the direction of the VAM is contrary to the judicial interpretation of the Supreme People's Court. At present, it seems that some difficulties are not impossible, at least we can work in the direction of the conflict between company law and contract law, and I will make an appointment with the client tomorrow morning to talk about this idea at that time. ”

Zhu Jinchuan frowned slightly, and said lightly after a few seconds of silence: "You can still do your homework before, but this direction was feasible half a month ago, but the Supreme People's Court has just issued a communiqué case, and this form of VAM with the company is no longer recognized as a VAM agreement." ”

Ling Li was slightly stunned: "Huh? When? How did I not know? ”

The sentence she subconsciously asked in a stunned manner completely revealed that she had not done her homework, and the lawyers present were still stable, but several senior assistants had already whispered.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Zhu Jinchuan's eyes: "I'm going to see the person concerned tomorrow, but you are completely in the wrong direction?" ”
