There is always some truth to the old saying that good things come in pairs.

These days, Ling Li's love life has been smooth sailing, and gradually, her work has improved.

Half a month has passed, and Ling Li's "stranger visit" has been effective.

A newly established technology company actually signed a consulting contract with her when she came to her second visit.

The young boss said that he belonged to the entrepreneurial stage, and he didn't think about what legal consulting business he needed, but at that time, out of politeness, and seeing that Ling Li honestly seemed trustworthy, he thought it would not hurt to hear it.

As a result, I was gradually attracted by the case mentioned by Ling Li, and suddenly realized that start-up enterprises should also strengthen their legal awareness. Not to mention anything else, the contract signed with the outside world will not be harmful after being reviewed by a lawyer.

As a result, Ling Li got the contract she got by herself for the first time in her life.

Although the consulting fee is only 50,000 yuan per year, it is not even a drizzle with Zhu Jinchuan's consulting company, but seventy percent of it belongs to Ling Li.

Ling Li held the contract and began to think about it - if she could have such an order every month, it would be 35,000 a month, and even if she deducted some taxes, she could offset her income for ten months a month.

If it's like this all year round, it's just bubbling.

"What do you think!" Zhu Jinchuan, who was reviewing the consulting contract, suddenly spoke, but couldn't stop the corners of his lips from rising, "It's a good start, but you have to make the client feel that you are worth the money, don't just sign for a year and run." ”

Ling Li hurriedly replied, "Well, I remember." ”

Zhu Jinchuan nodded, satisfied with her attitude, looked at the time again, and said, "You spent half an hour reporting this matter to me, and I will consider billing you in the future." According to the price of my external consultation, an hour is 4000, and you will be deducted 2000 this month? ”

Ling Li was taken aback by this price, and her eyelids couldn't stop jumping, for fear that Zhu Jinchuan would really deduct money for her.

Zhu Jinchuan looked at her as if she was about to explode, and became a little funny: "Just kidding, don't be scared." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard the alarm on her mobile phone start ringing.

She immediately remembered that today's recipe was red date milk stewed fish maw, and she had to go home on time to put the soaked fish maw into the pot.

So, she said goodbye to Zhu Jinchuan: "Master, if there is nothing to do, I will go back first." ”

Thinking about the fish maw soaked at home, she didn't wait for Zhu Jinchuan to respond, she hurriedly turned around, her movements were brisk, her long hair flew in the air, undulating with her steps.

Zhu Jinchuan's face changed, and he called out to her before she left the office.

Ling Li turned around: "Is there anything else, Master?" ”

He pursed his lips: "Are you leaving work a little too early?" ”

Ling Li glanced at the clock: "That's right, five o'clock." ”

Zhu Jinchuan's eyes sank: "I remember that you never got off work on time before, and you must know that there is no commuting time in lawyer work, and if you want to make a big improvement in your work, the first thing you need to do is to keep the unsolved problems in mind anytime and anywhere." ”

Ling Li was slightly stunned, and the next second she pursed her lips, faintly resisting in her heart.

Zhu Jinchuan was still saying: "I know that I am a little suspicious of pouring cold water, but I just want to remind you once again that you have great potential, and you should not be tripped up by others and accommodate the other party with your own sacrifice." ”

His voice was so calm that he could barely hear any emotion, but Ling Li keenly sensed what he was saying this for.

He struck her again and again, warning her not to slow down her progress for the sake of Nan Zhiyi.

After being silent for a long time, Ling Li finally suppressed the depression in her heart and replied lightly: "Okay, I understand, Master." ”

Zhu Jinchuan nodded slightly and took a few steps back: "It's good to understand, let's go back." ”

She was panicked in her heart, she thought that she would be in a better mood when she went home to see Nan Zhiyi, but who knew that the house was empty, only rice grains and Guli.

Stewed fish maw, went out to walk the dog, and had a simple meal after returning home, and waited until eleven o'clock before Nanzhiyi went home.

During this period, he did not have a single phone call or message.

But Ling Li knew what he was doing. She was confident that she knew Nanzhiyi well enough to believe that nothing else could divert Nanzhiyi's attention from her except his experiments and his projects.

Sure enough, as soon as Nan Zhiyi entered the door, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and kept complaining that he had to redo all the mistakes of a group of data because a student made a mistake, and kept wailing that he had been so busy since the afternoon that he didn't have time to drink a sip of dinner and instant noodles, and he was about to die, hoping that his wife would give him some comfort so that he could be resurrected with full blood.

And when he ate the stewed milk fish maw that had become frozen in gelatin, his eyes lit up for a moment, and he pulled Ling Li, who was guarding next to him with an expectant face, and also fed a spoonful into her mouth.

"Delicious, right?" He asked.

Ling Li couldn't help nodding, and sighed in her heart that sure enough, there was a big difference between three thousand and sixty-one catties of fish maw and six hundred and one catties. It's fragrant and strong, and there is no fishy smell at all, so it's no wonder that Nan Zhiyi, who has never loved milk, can eat it.

It's because it's too expensive, so she doesn't want to eat it, and she wholeheartedly leaves it to him because he works too hard.

Nan Zhiyi stared at her thin white face, knowing very well what she was thinking.

After that, he pulled her to sit in his arms, put the spoon to her mouth again, and smiled slightly: "You have a spoonful, I have a spoonful, no one eats more, no one can eat less, understand?" ”

Ling Li pursed her lips and smiled, obediently doing as he said, and the two finished sharing a small bowl of fish maw.

She thinks of him well, she wants to give him the best, and how can he not be like this?

Feelings, such as people drinking water and knowing themselves, whether outsiders think she is not worthy of Nan Zhiyi, or Zhu Jinchuan thinks that she has sacrificed too much for Nan Zhiyi, it is all the opinion of others, and the relationship between them has nothing to do with it.

————

In April, when the spring is cold, there will occasionally be cold air from afar, bringing a cliff-like cooling, but this kind of spring cold is more fatal than the winter cold.

Ling Li was tricked in such warm and cold weather and contracted the flu.

During this time, she was a little busy, not only did her best to keep Nan Zhiyi from worrying about her family, but also tried her best to make him eat nutritious and healthy, but also worked overtime from time to time because of the change in her work pattern.

She is willing to live like this, but her body can't stand it, and the continuous staying up late makes her resistance worse, so she naturally fell into this wave of flu.

Although the wind was blowing in the willows, it was really uncomfortable to wait for him at the door of Nanzhiyi's laboratory in the afternoon and get a headache from the wind.

She didn't know when the door would open, only that she was afraid that in just a few days, his experiment would have results.

Lu Jinran is worried about their marriage, but because the wedding date has not yet been decided, many things cannot be decided.

Ling Li's heart is also up and down.

The project that was going smoothly was originally going well, but because of a series of accidents during the Spring Festival, the competition with the other party is almost stalemate, and the result is difficult to say.

Therefore, at this last critical juncture, Nanzhiyi can be regarded as moving to the laboratory and rhythm.

She hadn't seen Nan Zhiyi for five days since she came home last week to get some change of clothes.

Ling Li thought so badly in her heart, but she still had to desperately suppress the idea of wanting to be coquettish in the phone call he gave her every morning and evening - the experiment was at a critical point, and she couldn't let him be distracted.

When it was almost six o'clock, there was suddenly a faint movement behind the door.

Ling Li pricked up her ears and listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer behind the iron door, and then heard a squeak, and the door opened.

Students came out of that door one after another, some of them were familiar to Ling Li, and some of them seemed to have never seen before.

They didn't leave immediately after they came out, but stood quietly at the door one by one, as if waiting for someone.

And because she was wearing a big scarf and being some distance away from them, no one recognized her.

Ling Li hugged the thermos bucket in her hand, her eyes full of anticipation. She knew who the student was waiting for, and she was waiting for that person.

Dozens of seconds later, she watched Nan Zhiyi and Tao Xing step out of the door together, and saw Tao Xing raise her hand and naturally pat Nan Zhiyi's shoulder with a little ash, and her heart tightened.

While telling himself that "this is a coincidence", he pricked up his ears to hear what they were saying.

"Yes, your proposal makes sense, let's do it tonight." He said to Tao Xing, "Thank you for your hard work, when the project is really over, everyone will have a big red envelope." ”

After the students cheered and relaxed, someone asked, "Teacher, will you go back after dinner and supper?" We also celebrate being one step ahead. ”

Nan Zhiyi raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, frowning slightly: "No, I have to go home, your master will be in a hurry." You know, she's fierce, one can beat you weak chickens ten. ”

A bunch of students were babbling "Don't be afraid, unity is strength" or "No problem, the master will leave it to us", but they didn't get Nan Zhiyi's reply.

His gaze crossed the crowd and stared straight at Ling Li a few meters away, a little surprised, more surprised.

"You're here," he beckoned to her, "come, come here." ”

Ling Li walked over and took off the scarf, which was a big sneeze.

Fortunately, she twisted her head in time and hit where no one was, so that she didn't lose her temper too much.

Nan Zhiyi covered his nose in disgust, a little yin and yang: "A spark can start a prairie fire, pink girl, I see that you, a person who can bring down a laboratory with a sneeze." ”

Ling Li was stupid: "Huh? ”

Nan Zhiyi's heart softened for a while, and in front of so many people, he rubbed her hair without hesitation: "Fortunately, the experiment has been completed, and it doesn't matter if you are all sick." ”

"Wow!" Lu Peng covered his heart and began to coax, "Sprinkle dog food in public, the teacher is so cruel." ”

In a small restaurant not far from the south gate of the school, during a whole dinner, Ling Li was finally able to determine that Nanzhiyi's project had a result, and looking at his relaxed face, he should have won.

Sure enough, the echoes and laughter of the surrounding doctoral students also confirmed her conjecture.

Another thing that made her happy was that Nan Zhiyi announced that they were going to get married in front of all the students.

Lu Peng was the one who reacted the fastest, and immediately asked, "Is the wedding date engaged?" ”

"Not yet, but it should be soon." Nan Zhiyi squeezed Ling Li's hand under the table and smiled easily.

Then, Ling Li's cheeks were slightly red, and she accepted the circle of students around her and said congratulations to them.

Everyone is beaming, and Tao Xing, who is sitting at the opposite corner of the table, although her eyes are a little tired, the corners of her mouth are always upturned, and she looks like she is in a good mood.

A circle of people expressed their blessings, and Tao Xing was no exception.

She neither showed excessive enthusiasm, nor did she have the cold mood when facing Ling Li in the past, when it was her turn to say blessings, she stood up and looked in the direction of Ling Li and Nan Zhiyi, smiled and said, "Teacher, teacher, congratulations on your lovers finally becoming married." ”

Nan Zhiyi also smiled and accepted the blessing as he did with other students, but the moment Ling Li met Tao Xing's eyes, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping.

Even though Tao Xing was smiling, even though her pleasing face was the same as before, Ling Li felt that the indescribable emotions hidden in Tao Xing's eyes made her feel a little uneasy in her heart.
