Chapter 219: Side Drums

This excellent location and open view make the South Lake like a pearl, inlaid in a dark gray frame, sparkling in the sunset, and breathtaking.

Ling Li was fascinated by it, and it was easy to retract her gaze, and suddenly noticed a pot of bright and eye-catching plants by the glass window.

The palm-wide leaves are upright at the root, dark green and fat, with a straight flower stem in the middle of the leaf, and the flower at the top has just bloomed. The petals are light green to dark orange, and the corolla narrows from wide to narrow, resembling a bird's beak. And the top cluster of orange petals resembles the crown of a bird.

Ling Li had been here many times, but she had never seen this bird of paradise before, and she never thought that this plant could also be used for indoor greening, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Seeing that Ling Li's attention was attracted by flowers, Xie Keer put down the teacup and suddenly spoke: "The bird of paradise is not just a flower, there is really such a bird. In some places it is called the Bird of Paradise, and in some places it is called the Bird of Paradise, with its colorful feathers and coquettish crown, and Lu Bu is slightly inferior to them. ”

The boss first opened his mouth to find a topic, and Ling Li was not too uninteresting, so he turned his face and smiled stiffly: "Really?" ”

Xie Keer smiled slightly, seemed to be very interested in this topic, and continued: "It is because of the beauty of the feathers that these birds are about to become endangered animals. At present, there is also a species of Elysium in Africa, with orange feathers and a blue crown, which is very similar to this flower. ”

"Oh!" Ling Li continued to cheer, but she didn't know much about the plant called the Bird of Paradise or the animal called the Bird of Bliss, and she really didn't know what to do to keep the sky from being talked about to death.

The big guy on the sofa opposite was full of relaxation, propped up Erlang's legs and nested comfortably on the sofa, and said coldly: "Speaking of Africa, it just so happens that one of our projects in Tanzania has entered the stage of negotiation with the government there, are you interested in going over to investigate together?" ”

After a pause, he added, "As a legal advisor." ”

"I, I, I, I don't want to go to Africa." Ling Li replied with a look of surprise.

Any flower can also be extended to the project, and she also made an offer to go to Africa, Xie Keer's thinking is too divergent, right? Moreover, I always feel that he has another deep meaning.

The words came out, and she realized that her tone just now seemed to be a little stiff, and hurriedly added: "Mr. Xie, don't be joking, I know that my ability is not up to such a job, involving the negotiation of international economic law and private international law, I am afraid that I must have a professional lawyer team." Besides, Africa is an area that I never thought about. ”

"What? Are you afraid of Africa? He curled the corners of his mouth, "Afraid of lions?" Alligator? Or Ebola? Two months past to catch the wildebeest migration, once a year is very spectacular, it's a pity not to see it. ”

It's not because I'm afraid of you! Ling Li muttered in her heart.

"People have the stereotype that Africa is a wild continent, poor and backward with all kinds of infectious diseases, and these prejudices make it easy to lose sight of the magnificent side of the continent. In fact, many things are like this, not really close, without personal experience, just by experience and habitual thinking, into the misunderstanding of the crowd, it is easy to miss another scenery. ”

Xie Keer was still talking, and his eyes were covered with clouds, so that Ling Li couldn't see clearly whether he was simply talking about Africa or whether he meant something.

Ling Li didn't dare to think deeply about what he was hinting at, and secretly decided that she couldn't go around with him like this, and she had to get to the point quickly.

She cleared her throat and said: "Mr. Xie, now is not the time to discuss African animals, the African project you just mentioned involves the scope of private international law and international economic law, which is not the main project of Chengda, and besides, having a government-led lawyer will not play a big role, your time is precious, so you don't need to waste time on this issue." ”

In this way, she stubbornly avoided the topic of Africa or Africa.

"You don't ask your master and turn off the business yourself?" Xie Keer was a little stunned, and raised his eyebrows again: "Reject a big business in dozens of seconds, that's how lawyer Zhu teaches you to do things?" ”

At the end of the day, there seemed to be a bit of gloom in his eyes.

Ling Li blinked and didn't know how to respond. With her elm head, she couldn't tell which of Xie Keer's words was true and which was false, plus he was usually not serious most of the time, so she didn't take what she said to heart at all just now.

If Xie Keer really has this meaning, what if Zhu Jinchuan also wants to practice next?

She said cautiously, "If you really have this intention, I will convey it to my master, I really can't make decisions about such a big matter." ”

"Well," Xie Keer nodded, "but I have one more condition, if your law firm wants to take over this business, you must first take the lead with me." ”

Ling Li's eyes widened, once again unable to determine whether Xie Keer was joking or serious.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Keer hooked the corners of his mouth: "If you don't want to join the project as a lawyer?" And what about as a friend? Interested in going out? Not only is the savannah scenery beautiful, but the most rare thing is that it has a long coastline and more than 20 islands, and it is also rich in gems. The heart of the ocean in the Titanic, some people say that it is not actually a sapphire, but a tanzanite blue produced there. ”

He paused, and his voice was gentle: "Tanzanite is not blue-purple originally, most of the rough stones are brownish-green. Actually, I prefer the original color of tanzanite, unpolished brownish-green, faint but pure. ”

He suddenly raised his eyes, and a smile rippled in his eyes: "It's as beautiful as your eyes." ”

Ling Li couldn't bear it anymore.

Sitting here and listening to him talk about all kinds of inexplicable topics, the problem is that every word he says seems to have another deep meaning, so that she can't help but think crookedly, and at the same time keeps telling herself that the person in front of her is not blind, she won't be so blind that she can't think about it, and a few more times I'm afraid that she will split her personality.

She sighed and shook her head, and finally covered her face: "Mr. Xie, I just want to take the lawyer's fee and go back to pay the errand, don't you need to embarrass me like this, right?" Wasn't it a pleasure to work together before? ”

Xie Keer pretended to be serious: "Didn't I want our relationship to be more pleasant? ”

"I ......"

Ling Li couldn't help but want to be crooked again, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and she only felt that she had nothing to love.

It wasn't until she found a vague smile on the corner of his mouth that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Xie." Ling Li said with a little helplessness: "Please, can you change back to a normal way of speaking?" ”

She really couldn't stand it now, and every time he said a word, she had to think carefully about the way she figured it out. How good it used to be, talking about dogs, food, and cases, except for the case, you can usually talk without thinking, not at all like now, you can only talk awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" Xie Keer had a ridiculous expression on his face, "Then you say, how can I chase you to be normal?" ”

"I ......" Ling Li only said one word again, and then couldn't continue.

It's spicy! What did Sheker say? He's chasing her?

She thought she was thinking too much, but she really didn't think much about it.

Although she was aware of Xie Keer's abnormality after returning from Gyeongju, and she had more or less such speculations, she was more inclined to actually Xie Keer just teasing her on a whim.

To say that he really wants to have a relationship with her, even she herself will not believe it.

I couldn't imagine that he could be caught off guard like this, and Chi Guoguo put his intentions in front of her.

Ling Li looked completely defeated, her mouth was slightly open and she couldn't speak, only blinking her eyes blankly.

It took her a long time to say weakly: "Mr. Xie, I really don't think this joke is funny." ”

It's a sentence she racked her brains to come up with.

If you can take yourself out, you can also give Xie Keer a step down, and let the words just now pass like this, as if it never happened.

Xie Keer looked at her obvious head jam, and couldn't help laughing.

Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity of her to get the lawyer's fee today to formally propose an invitation to the African project, but I received an urgent notice from the National Development and Reform Commission to convene a discussion with enterprises, and I had to miss the meeting.

Xie Keer didn't know how many times he had attended such a meeting, he thought that he had been with his father since he was a child, and he was used to seeing ups and downs and calculations, but after all, he still overestimated his ability to bear it.

To live a business, there are too many people who can't help themselves, and he carries thousands of people's jobs on his shoulders, and this burden is so heavy that sometimes he can break out in a cold sweat when he dreams back at midnight.

After such a busy day of work and tedious affairs, he began to wonder whether it was right or wrong for him to finally succumb to his responsibilities and give up his insistence in the face of responsibility and inheritance.

All afternoon, I was in a conference room with very poor air circulation, and I talked to a group of old foxes and snakes, and listened to a certain leader say some clichΓ©s that were not leaky, logical, but had no content.

At the end of the meeting, he was about to fall asleep but had to hold on, thinking of the mess of documents to be signed in his hand and missing the meeting with Ling Li, he couldn't hide his exhaustion and fatigue, so much so that at the end of the meeting, a certain director who presided over the meeting specially asked him if he was not feeling well.

Who would have thought that when he returned to the company at the end of work, he could catch this stupid little rookie, but it was an unexpected joy.

In that moment, all the tiredness and boredom vanished.

In any case, this work is still a little interesting after all. I see all kinds of people every day, watch their hard performances or a day when my true form is revealed, and I can meet such a clear and transparent and cute girl.

He already knew that he was tempted, and he thought that there were enough hints from Ling Li in WeChat these days.

At first, he thought that she was really too dull to notice it, but when they met today, from her dodgy gaze and the embarrassment of not knowing where to put her hands and feet, Xie Keer immediately understood, she didn't understand, but she didn't believe it, she didn't know what to do, and she might be a little scared.

Especially when she saw him just now, she wanted to run away, it was really funny, he almost laughed at the time, but fortunately he finally held it, and did not smash the brand of "Xiao Xie is always insidious and cunning and moody" that he painstakingly created in front of the staff.

He is not a scumbag who loves to play ambiguously and dares to say and dare not do, nor is he an orphan who is ignorant and ignorant and does not know what it is.

He knew very well what he wanted, and he understood that it was not so easy to find a feeling of excitement after reading a thousand sails.

So, since she is special, it is natural that it is time for him to get serious.

So, he put down the teacup in his hand, crossed his hands on his chest, bent down and moved closer to Ling Li's direction, and looked straight into her eyes: "Am I kidding, lawyer Ling, don't you know?" ”
