Chapter 22: The Three Forks

We went to Zhao Chuan's law firm, and Beibei said that this office is quite famous in the city, and you have to make an appointment to register when you visit.

We met Zhao Chuan, who is currently working as a paralegal here, and he came to work in this law firm because he was introduced by his seniors in college. The legal profession has always been senior. He seems to have a lot of chores on his hands, and Beibei and I are waiting for him in the reception room.

I haven't seen Zhao Chuan for many years, and Zhao Chuan glanced at me when he came in: "Yang Yinglin, right." ”

"yes, it's been so long to recognize it."

"You've changed a lot, and if you look closely, you haven't changed much, but you seem to have gained a lot of weight."

I know he's such an upright person, "Still, you're not very fat, and you're well-proportioned, just right." "This is probably what social life has entrusted us to learn to be tactful.

"But Zhao Chuan, if I don't come with Beibei this time, I really won't be able to recognize you, you have grown a lot taller, from short and fat to a slender version." Zhao Chuan smiled, "Why didn't you come to the last class reunion." ”

"The company is on a business trip."

"You two classmates, can you talk about it next time?" Zhao Chuan and I looked at each other and smiled, Beibei has been in a temper since she was a child, and this has not changed much.

Beibei talked to him about the situation in detail, and Zhao Chuan listened patiently and gave some opinions from time to time. At first, I actively participated in the discussion, but then I encountered some legal matters that became more and more professional, and I became a little distracted.

"Zhao Chuan, the boss is looking for you." Zhao Chuan's colleague came over, and Beibei got up: "Zhao Chuan, thank you today, you are so busy with work, and you are still disturbing you for so long to invite you to dinner another day." ”

"Look at you're polite, everyone is a classmate, and you can come to me at any time if you have any questions."

"Yinglin, let's go." Beibei and I walked to the door, just in time to see Zhao Chuan following his boss as if preparing to receive work, I seemed to see my former self, it is not easy for newcomers to enter the workplace, but this Zhao Chuan has to receive a big customer, and Beibei and I are a little embarrassed to see it.

Beibei slapped me jokingly: "Yinglin, why are you so coincidental, look at who appeared." I glared at Beibei, this is probably the reason why the boss asked Zhao Chuan to accompany him to receive him, because everyone is classmates, if I am not mistaken, the relationship between Zhao Chuan and Liu Zhen seems to be not bad back then.

"I can't see that Liu Zhen is mixed like a person now, he was not ordinary before, now it seems that he may be the best among our classmates, you see that they all have style, no wonder they don't see the class reunion, think about how they can look at us, right, Yinglin."

I looked at Beibei's gossip on her face: "It's because you're thinking too much." ”

Beibei became more and more energetic, "Did you see that person, a little embarrassed, I haven't seen him for many years, I'm not embarrassed, but I won't care about us when I see him like this, Yinglin, you said such a person, why didn't you grasp it back then." ”

"Beibei, you're okay, everyone was a middle school student back then, and they were all so precocious like you, don't make fun of me."

Beibei sneered: "Look at you like this, okay, I know, you are really angry, the consequences are very serious, I see that he didn't notice us, what do you want to eat, I invite you to eat." ”

"Okay, I'm going to slaughter you and eat Western food."

"Yinglin, you just come to eat when you mention it."

We walked to the elevator and waited for the elevator. Someone patted me from behind: "Yinglin, how did you get here?" ”

I really couldn't hide if I wanted to, so I finally pressed Beibei's gossip and turbulent heart. Liu Zhen appeared behind us, and next to him was Zhao Chuan and his boss.

Beibei greeted with some excessive enthusiasm: "This is not classmate Liu, I really dare not admit it." Liu Zhen just smiled at her lightly and looked at me: "It's to accompany Beibei to come to Zhao Chuan to consult some things." ”

"I thought it was your business, how did you recover?"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"Yinglin, when did you get in touch, you must have met again, and he even knows about your injury, why haven't I heard you mention it."

I pinched Beibei: "We still have something to do, so let's go first." ”

Liu Zhen smiled: "What can happen at this time, finally everyone gets together today, how about our classmates have a meal together tonight." ”

"I don't need to." As soon as I finished speaking, Beibei slapped me in the face: "Okay, we're okay anyway." ”

"Then you can wait for me here for a while, it's decided, it shouldn't be a long time."

Zhao Chuan took me and Beibei to the reception room again: "I'll go to Liu Zhen's side, you guys wait here for a while." After speaking, he glanced at me, and his eyes seemed to have something to say.

"What's the situation between you and Liu Zhen, when did you meet, it won't be a broken thread, I remember telling you before, his reputation is not very good, you have to count, he is not the same as before."

As soon as Zhao Chuan left, Beibei couldn't wait to ask me. "I have nothing to do with Liu Zhen, I accidentally saw me once before, and then I didn't have much contact, I didn't expect to meet him here today, I know in my heart, but why do you want to do this."

Beibei smiled: "Isn't it just that classmates have a meal together, and I just want to remind you." ”

We didn't have to wait too long, Liu Zhen came to the lounge, and the boss of the office looked at us: "I really envy the relationship between your classmates is so good, I also want to do my best to invite you to a light meal." ”

"You're polite, I'm afraid they won't get used to it, so next time, I'll invite you." Liu Zhen looked at me, let's go. The three of us were with Liu Zhen, but I didn't expect Liu Zhen to really have a style and a special driver.

"Let's go to the revolving restaurant." Beibei leaned in my ear: "You really have a tacit understanding"

"Don't let us hear what you say." Liu Zhen said jokingly.

Zhao Chuan explained: "It's just that Yinglin just said that she was hungry and wanted to eat Western food, and everyone has such a tacit understanding. ”

Liu Zhen looked at me with a smile, and for some reason I saw the pampering in his eyes: "I have already set a position, I can order whatever I want, don't be polite, I still have some things to deal with, you don't have to wait for me to eat there first, I'll go over when I'm done." ”

Beibei looked at me with bad intentions, which made me feel the urge to flatten her.

The three of us came to the revolving restaurant, and it was really tall, I didn't even think about coming to this place before.

Liu Zhen helped us set the location, this time may be early before dinner, or it may be here to make an appointment for high consumption, there are not many people coming, and the environment is very good.

We glanced at the menu, it was really super expensive, and any simple dish felt that it was not something that our ordinary salarymen could afford, and we euphemistically expressed that the people were not even, and we ordered it again after a while, and set aside the waiter.

"The high consumption here is well deserved, although Yinglin has always wanted to come here for a meal before, so I just want to get a touch of it with you today, but this price is really burdensome." Beibei looked at me with some embarrassment.

In fact, since Liu Zhen said hello to me, I felt that Zhao Chuan's eyes were a little strange when he looked at me, and he wanted to stop talking. The three of us were embarrassed because of this very expensive Western meal.

I finally couldn't hold my breath: "Wait for Liu Zhen to come, I don't know when, I'm hungry, and I don't want to owe favors for no reason, I'll invite this meal, but I'm not as rich as him, let's order the cheapest one to eat." "Because we're all acquaintances, I don't feel ashamed.

Beibei sighed, "Say it earlier, today was originally because you are the hero, I knew that we wouldn't be here because of this, and this place is not suitable for us." ”

Zhao Chuan looked at me: "We don't have any money, whoever asks for it has a burden, since we have come here to eat, let's AA"

"Okay, I agree, I should have had a treat today, and I'll make it up to you next time." Beibei agreed.

When the three of us agreed, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. Each of us simply ordered what we wanted to eat, but the atmosphere was relaxed and lively, and the classmates inevitably chatted about private matters and gossip, and finally it came to Liu Zhen.

Zhao Chuan looked at me and stopped, I could already feel that he had something to say to me, he was a little hesitant: "Yinglin, in fact, I was still a little worried when Liu Zhen came, especially when I saw Liu Zhen's warm look towards you, I wasn't sure what you thought here, but now I think you haven't changed, it's still the same as before, but as a classmate, I still remind you that Liu Zhen is not the same as before." ”

Beibei looked at me, and then looked at Zhao Chuan: "Zhao Chuan, if you have anything to say, the last time we attended the class reunion, I heard everyone say that Liu Zhen's reputation is not very good, and there seems to be a style problem in his private life." ”

We know Zhao Chuan's personality, he has always been a frank and unrestrained person, he doesn't like to discuss right and wrong, and he is a little upright.

Zhao Chuan looked at me and sighed: "I don't want to talk more about him, but Yinglin, I mainly think that you and him, give you a reminder, but don't talk about these things, after all, they are all classmates, and they are all old things." ”

"I went to the University of Political Science and Law with Liu Zhen, he was not such a person before, after going to college, his life was a little indulgent, he had a lot of girlfriends, and he has always been more popular with girls. He was not such a person in his private life before, but then somehow he didn't refuse, and even a few of them had abortions for him, but he was still very powerful, and he solved them all and didn't make any big trouble. In the year of graduation, he was with the daughter of the dean of our department, so he won a lot of awards as an outstanding graduate, and even a place in the research institute, but Liu Zhen did not choose to continue his graduate studies like me, but went to work in a law firm in advance. ”

"Oh, there are a lot of people who take shortcuts now, which can only show that Liu Zhen is realistic." I sighed softly.

"Liu Zhen and the dean's daughter are talking about marriage, but not long after Liu Zhen came to our office, he received the demolition project, and somehow met the daughter in charge of the investor of the project, and then he quickly caught up with the girl."

"Then he's not splitting his legs, this is a scumbag." Beibei said with some righteousness.

Zhao Chuan sighed, "That's why I don't appreciate Liu Zhen very much now, I think he can succeed with his own efforts, but he chooses this way."

"What happened to him later?" I asked.

Zhao Chuan's face was a little embarrassed: "After the dean's daughter knew, Liu Zhen simply broke up with her, the woman was unwilling and came to our office to make a big noise, and Liu Zhen resigned not long after." Later, I heard from my classmates that the dean's daughter still liked Liu Zhen very much like she didn't give up, and she still pestered him to get back together, but Liu Zhen refused with a tough attitude, and the woman's fierce suicide caused this matter, and in the end, the other party came forward to settle it. ”
