Chapter Ninety-Five: Refusal of Invitation
Chen Mu's face straightened, not like he was joking at all: "I'm serious, I've thought about it for a long time, and I think you can help me the most, Ah Ning, are you willing?" His tone was serious.
Suddenly, when she was asked this question, Ji Ning didn't know how to answer.
She hadn't worked in a law firm for a long time, and as the chief lawyer of the Yip Group, she was free most of the time as long as she supported the cases handed to her by the company.
She is also used to this kind of freedom, and it will be difficult to change this habit for a while.
And when she becomes a member of a law firm, she can't do what she wants, and in order for the company to continue to open or develop better, she may have to take on some cases that she doesn't like at all.
Then he lived a busy life, and ended up being like a professional lawyer in other law firms.
This was what Ji Ning didn't want, so she hesitated and didn't give Chen Mu an answer right away.
"I know you're going to hesitate, it's normal, my office didn't open so quickly anyway, you have plenty of time to think it through. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you, anyway, we will still be good friends in the future, and you can still come to me for help if you have any problems. ”
Chen Mu didn't force Ji Ning, and tried his best to think about the problem from Ji Ning's point of view when he spoke, as if he was thinking about Ji Ning very much. And between the lines, he revealed his good impression of Ji Ning, which made Ye Shaochen very uncomfortable.
Now in this posture, Ye Shaochen believes that if it weren't for Ji Ning being married, Chen Mu might kneel down and propose! This is not an exaggeration, Chen Mu's thoughts about Ji Ning are already very clear, as long as he is not blind, he can see it.
The atmosphere became solemn again, and at this time the waiter came to serve the food, and the three of them did not communicate without any communication, and the atmosphere was quiet and a little weird. It wasn't until Ye Shaochen gave Ji Ning vegetables that he opened his mouth to break the silence.
Ye Shaochen sandwiched the fish meat for Ji Ning, and before putting it in Ji Ning's bowl, he specially removed the fish bones, and did a series of actions meticulously, more serious than when he read the contract.
I only heard Ye Shaochen say slowly: "Don't worry, Ning Ning and I just got married, and the two-person world between the two of us hasn't finished yet, do you want to break us up so soon?" Ye Shaochen pretended to look at Chen Mu casually, and there was a suspicion of sprinkling dog food between the lines.
Ji Ning ate a piece of fish, which was very sweet, and looked up to see Ye Shaochen sandwiching another piece for himself. In addition to fish, there are others, all of which she loves to eat. In a few moments, a small mountain was piled up in her bowl.
"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." Ye Shaochen instructed Ji Ning. Ji Ning let out an "oh" and ate seriously, her mouth was very busy, and she had no time to speak, so she could only let Ye Shaochen be her messenger.
Ye Shaochen also began to eat: "And our current savings are enough to condense and live a good life, money or anything is not tempting, even if condensation doesn't work, it doesn't matter." We are not young, and we are going to have children in the past two years, I hope that Ningning can rest more and not work too hard. ”
Ye Shaochen said a lot of words in one breath, and every sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing Chen Mu's heart mercilessly, almost spurting blood.
"You're still young." Chen Mu said this dryly, and he also ate a piece of fish. Obviously, he saw that Ji Ning ate so rurally, it seemed to be delicious, but he ate it himself, but he tasted the same wax, and he couldn't swallow it.
Just put down your chopsticks and let yourself relax. said: "Ning Ning has been in a relationship with me for so many years, and she is my junior sister, how could I make her work too hard." "He's still making his last struggles.
Ye Shaochen smiled and said lightly: "No matter how easy it is, it is not as attractive as seeing me every day." Ningning's office is next door to me, and you can see me when you miss me. What if she goes to you and she wants to see me? There are also those little girls in the department, Ning Ning is not reluctant. ”
It is rare for Ji Ning to mingle with the employees of the president's office, and he began to get used to his current work and life, and he will not give up easily if he wants to come. According to her temperament, she went to a new environment, and it is estimated that it is not so fast to have a good relationship with her colleagues. Not to mention what if those people were jealous of Ji Ning and secretly stumbled Ji Ning?
This kind of thing doesn't happen often, Ye Shaochen doesn't want Ji Ning to suffer and hide it himself. Anyway, it's the best arrangement to let her stay by her side. Whoever dares to bully Ji Ning in front of him will be impatient.
At this time, Ji Ning finally finished eating the things in front of him, and his mouth was finally empty. Just when Chen Mu wanted to say a few more words and persuade Ji Ning, Ji Ning finally spoke: "I think Shao Chen is right, the work of the firm is not suitable for me." I've been lazy for the past few years, and if I were asked to work hard, I wouldn't be able to do it. ”
Since even Ji Ning said so herself, it was useless for Chen Mu to continue, so he could only smile bitterly: "Okay, I respect your choice, it's good to rest more, you've pushed yourself too hard this year." ”
Chen Mu picked up the chopsticks again and took a bite of food, but he still felt that he had no appetite, and he felt very uncomfortable.
At the end of a meal, I didn't eat much except for the dog food for two people all the time, and there were a lot of leftovers as a result. Ji Ning said that these two people were wasteful, and left.
Ye Shaochen was going to drive Chen Mu to the hotel, but Chen Mu said no: "It's late, you still have to go to work tomorrow, let's go back early to rest, I'll just take a taxi myself." He didn't want to continue to watch two people show affection.
"Let's take you back, it's so late, it's hard to get a taxi." Ji Ning was a little relieved. On the other hand, I am also afraid that Chen Mugang will return to China, and I don't know much about the situation here, and I am afraid that he will be cheated by a taxi driver.
However, Chen Mu insisted on refusing, and said in the end, somehow, as soon as his brain twitched, he said: "Actually, I have to meet someone in a while, and she will come to pick me up later, so I don't need to trouble you." ”
Ji Ning suddenly showed an ambiguous smile, and said thoughtfully: "Oh, what Senior Brother wants to see is a woman." Seeing her smile like this, Chen Mu knew that Ji Ning didn't understand his heart for him. Thinking like this, Chen Mu's heart became more and more bitter, and he didn't know what to say.
In order to save his face and solve the current embarrassment by the way, Chen Mu could only bite the bullet and say, "Well, female friend." She has a special job and doesn't want too many people to know about her, so she ......, "So let Ji Ning and Ye Shaochen leave now."
Speaking of which, if Ji Ning and Ye Shaochen don't leave, they really don't have an IQ. Ji Ning said a few words to tell Chen Mu to pay attention to safety, and then got into the car with Ye Shaochen. Ye Shaochen didn't say much, the friendship between men is not so fragile.
When the car started, Ji Ning leaned back in the seat, his head sideways to the window. Ye Shaochen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Ning, and then the whole person seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
Ye Shaochen raised his eyebrows: "Very tired? ”
"Sort of." Ji Ning nodded, and only spit out these two words. Then she turned around and looked at Ye Shaochen's angular side face, looked at it for a while, and didn't say anything after all. After a pause, he changed his words and said, "I'll sleep, and you'll call me when I arrive." ”
Ye Shaochen let out a "hmm" and concentrated on driving, without looking at Ji Ning's expression.
Ji Ning closed his eyes and didn't fall asleep. In fact, Chen Mu is aware of her feelings, she is not stupid, she can see a little bit of the gunsmoke between Ye Shaochen and Chen Mu, and combined with Chen Mu's performance, she knows that she must keep a distance from Chen Mu.
The words she asked Chen Mu just now were also deliberate, only in this way could Chen Mu be sober. But taking into account Chen Mu's self-esteem, she could only pretend that she didn't know anything, and let this matter go away with the wind.
The street lights outside flickered and flickered, and after the car window was closed, the lights dimmed all of a sudden, and there was no noise in his ears, and Ji Ning fell asleep unconsciously.
……
The work is still going on, and Su Qin's affairs have taken another turn.
The man took out a piece of evidence, saying that Su Qin still maintained an ambiguous relationship with the opposite sex in the circle after getting married, and also said that she was indecent. even secretly took a lot of photos as evidence, and the man suspected that Su Qin was also cheating in marriage.
These evidences are very unfavorable to Su Qin, since both parties are at fault, it means that the marriage has existed in name only, and the man does not have to bear any responsibility for Su Qin, and it is difficult for Su Qin to get the compensation after the divorce.
Ji Ning was very concerned about this big reversal, and immediately contacted Su Qin, wanting her to explain this matter clearly, otherwise it would be difficult for her to find information.
But Su Qin's phone has not been answered, and no one has replied to the message. On the contrary, Su Qin's sister Su Xin contacted Ji Ning, and Ji Ning didn't have a good impression of Su Xin, but in order to solve the case smoothly, she still agreed to meet Su Xin.
At this meeting, Su Xin was still dressed very eye-catching, and when Ji Ning passed, Su Xin was flirting with the waiter. The waiter may have just arrived, looking very young, his face flushed from being teased by Su Xin, and he stood there at a loss.
Ji Ning walked over: "Please help me get a glass of boiled water, thank you." "She said to the waiter, it was kind of to relieve the waiter.
Hearing Ji Ning's words, the waiter hurriedly said hello, cast a grateful look at Ji Ning, and then turned to leave.
Su Xin was a little dissatisfied with Ji Ning: "Lawyer Ji seems to like ruining other people's good deeds. She said lazily, taking a sip of the coffee in front of her. Even the action of holding coffee is so amorous, Ji Ning thought, if it was a man sitting opposite her at the moment, it would probably be drooling.
"You seem to like to get into trouble everywhere." Ji Ning didn't answer Su Xin's question directly, but the bull head said such a sentence to the horse's mouth, so that Su Xin almost choked on the coffee.
