Chapter 14: Self-righteousness
Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and the atmosphere on the floor was a little gloomy.
Ji Ning suddenly stopped, and the crisp sound of high heels stopped abruptly. Everyone's hearts were raised in their throats, and they didn't dare to let out the atmosphere, thinking that Ji Ning would leave quickly.
"Who orders takeout at noon?" Ji Ning's cold voice sounded suddenly, and some people hadn't reacted yet, because no one was silent. Ji Ning was not annoyed, and slowly repeated what she had just said.
Finally someone realized that it was Ji Ning who was talking, and the girl who was closer to her stood up, trembling, and her voice couldn't be smaller: "I, I'll order takeout." ”
Because he was afraid of Ji Ning, he didn't dare to look at Ji Ning when he spoke.
She has never seen Ji Ning get angry or scolding or anything like that, she only knows that someone in the company is rumoring that Ji Ning is not easy to get along with, and she is a lawyer, and what she is best at is finding out the shortcomings of others. She is Ye Shaochen's new wife, and many people are afraid that their shortcomings will be revealed to Ye Shaochen by Ji Ning.
To put it simply, it is rumored that Ji Ning will wear small shoes for everyone.
In addition, Ji Ning is not smiling on weekdays, and she does things vigorously and resolutely, without personal feelings, so everyone naturally wants to believe such rumors.
Ji Ning paused, lowered his voice, and said to the girl, "Can you trouble you, and help me order one by the way when I order takeout?" "The tone is very polite, but also rusty. But there is no uncomfortable feeling, and it is not as domineering as the legend.
The girl was stunned for a moment, hurriedly picked up the notepad, and stammered: "Yes, yes, but we ordered a wooden barrel of rice, do you want it?" ”
They are all ordinary white-collar workers, and the takeout they usually order is very ordinary, and they only occasionally go out for a good meal. And Ji Ning, who looks like a person living at the top of the pyramid, should look down on ordinary takeaways.
However, Ji Ning's answer once again broke everyone's concept of her.
Ji Ning nodded: "I want a hand-torn cabbage, thank you." "I didn't even have to look at the menu, I just reported the name of the dish, and it was the cheapest one.
Realizing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Ji Ning smiled: "What's wrong?" Do I look like someone who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world? "It's just a quick snack, how can everyone be like seeing the wonders of the world?
She has a heavy burden on her shoulders, and although she earns more money than anyone here, her expenses are also very large, and even her salary cannot cover such expenses, so she is also very frugal.
Unless it is Ye Shaochen who has a treat, she will not go out to eat too good things, and it has always been as simple and cheap as possible.
"It's nothing, it's just a little bit unslowing." The girl smiled, then quickly wrote down the name of Ji Ningbao's dish, and said to her, "I'll deliver it to your office when the takeaway arrives." ”
Ji Ning shook his head: "No, I'll just come out and get it myself." "Everyone works very hard, and there is no need to send food in for her.
"Oh, good."
gave the takeaway money to the other party first, and then Ji Ning went to the pantry to get his coffee cup.
As soon as she left, the people just now exploded, talking about Ji Ning's actions just now.
It turns out that Lawyer Ji is so down-to-earth, he actually orders takeout with them! And although Lawyer Ji looks cold on the outside, he is actually very easy to get along with.
Ji Ning only said a few words just now, and the stay time was only ten minutes. But her every move and every sentence are very decent, and it will not make people feel depressed. It feels like a normal communication between people who have only seen each other in different departments, which is normal.
The most important thing is that Ji Ning smiled just now!
She really looks good when she smiles, no wonder the president likes her.
Ji Ning didn't know that people outside were talking about her, she called her mother, but the other party didn't answer, and sent a message asking her to take care of herself, but the other party didn't reply. Looking at the instant coffee in his hand, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
Think about the time when her dad didn't have an accident before, she was a person who didn't drink freshly ground coffee. At that time, I still knew what kind of taste and craftsmanship I was pursuing, and I didn't care if it was expensive or not, because their family was rich.
Her father had an accident again, she had just graduated, and her family was destitute. Nightmares followed, all kinds of breathless debts continued, my mother fell ill because she worked too hard, my sister had to study, and everything had to be paid.
Ji Ning is a girl, gritting her teeth and carrying everything.
Over the years, she has been busy like a spinning top, as long as it is a case that can make money, she will take it, whether it is good or bad, so in recent years, she has made a name for herself in the industry, and her price is getting higher and higher.
Later, she was appreciated by Master Ye and asked her to work in the Ye Group. The family's life has improved, but the cost is still high, and she has become accustomed to the days of frugality.
It's like instant coffee in your hand.
A bag of dozens of dollars can be drunk for a long time.
Just as he was in a trance, the door of the pantry was pushed open, and a clear voice sounded: "What kind of attitude does Ji Ning have, do you think it's great to become the president's wife?" After all, isn't it just a sparrow flying on the branches, and still trying to become a phoenix? Amusing. ”
As the sound stopped abruptly, the footsteps outside the door also stopped, and the air was still for a moment.
Ji Ning put down the coffee cup, and the bottom of the cup collided lightly with the tabletop, making a crisp sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet pantry.
Ji Ning didn't look back, and when she heard the voice, she knew that the other party was Lin Ruan.
Lin Ruan's recent visit to the president's office is very diligent, as if he is going back to his own home. If you have nothing to do, I will find someone to drink tea and chat with, but I am also very familiar with the people in the president's office.
Lin Ruan held her breath and waited for Ji Ning's reaction, she spoke in a loud voice just now, Ji Ning must have heard it. The people who were with Lin Ruan were even more worried, and they didn't say anything, and they didn't know if they would be punished jointly.
After waiting for a while, I didn't see Ji Ning react. Looking closely, Ji Ning was playing with her mobile phone, probably because she was too engrossed to hear what she just said.
Ji Ning contacted the private detective again and asked them to investigate the information she wanted clearly. The other party didn't ask Ji Ning why he changed his mind again, so he just did it.
After sending the message, Ji Ning transferred another sum of money to her sister and asked her to study hard at school.
This time was nothing to her, but it was a century-long torment for the two people at the door. They didn't dare to move, and they kept thinking about how to deal with it.
When Ji Ning got up, Lin Soft was startled.
Ji Ning picked up the coffee cup, poured out the rest of the coffee, and washed the cup slowly and methodically, treating Lin Soft as air the whole time.
Seeing that Ji Ning didn't care, Lin Ruan's fear just now disappeared, and the expression of villain's triumph appeared on his face again. What if you marry Ye Shaochen? No, or no real power?
"The most important thing in being a human being is to have self-knowledge and recognize your identity. Cinderella is always Cinderella and cannot become a princess. ”
When Ji Ning walked to the door, Lin Soft said in a weird manner, full of mockery. Although it was said to the people around him, it was obvious that these words were deliberately said to Ji Ning.
The person next to him looked embarrassed and did not respond to Lin Ruan.
Lin Ruan was still triumphant, and she was sure that Ji Ning would not respond, because she did not name her, and if Ji Ning responded, it would mean that she herself admitted that she had climbed the high branches. She was complacent about her art of speaking, and finally choked Ji Ning once.
The person next to her found that Ji Ning's hand holding the coffee cup tightened, but it was also an instantaneous thing, and when she paid attention to it, she couldn't find anything abnormal.
Afraid that Lin Ruan would continue to speak, the man bumped Lin Ruan's arm and motioned for her to leave quickly.
Lin Ruan disagreed: "Marrying into a wealthy family and living a good life will only appear on TV." The door is not the right household, and marrying into a wealthy family will only open up the hierarchy of both parties. She glanced at Ji Ning if she didn't have it.
Although she is only a trainee lawyer, her family conditions are very good, although she is not a wealthy family, she can also be familiar with the upper class, so in front of Ji Ning, she has a great sense of achievement.
The atmosphere became more and more solemn, and Ji Ning turned his head sideways, looking at Lin Soft with an uncertain meaning. That glance was too sharp and direct, as if it could see through people in an instant, which made Lin Ruan shudder.
"I don't agree with what Lawyer Lin said." Ji Ning stomped two steps and looked directly at Lin Ruan. The aura on her body is in full swing, just like her in the courtroom.
"The sparrow that flies on the branch has the ability to change itself when it flies, and constantly integrates into the collective of the phoenix. And Cinderella, herself is an elegant person, she has become a princess, why should she care about the identity of the princess? ”
Ji Ning chuckled, and her words were full of disdain for Lin Soft.
It was obvious that he didn't say anything heavy, but it made Lin Ruan's face red, as if he had been scolded for being bloody.
She was about to refute, but Ji Ning spoke one step ahead of her, blocking what she was about to say, Ji Ning: "As for the last one, it's even more ridiculous." Lawyer Lin can also be regarded as a wealthy person, doesn't he understand the criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family? Do you wealthy families like to catch a random person on the road to get married? ”
Ji Ning's voice was determined, and every word was a thousand-pound hammer, so that Lin Ruan didn't know how to react.
"If it weren't for that person's excellence, enough to impress people from wealthy families, how could he marry into a wealthy family?" Ji Ning looked at Lin Ruan with a burning gaze, and continued: "On the contrary, not all wealthy families have excellent people, because they have a good living environment, so they have created some people's self-righteousness, but they don't know that their behavior is even more ridiculous than clowns. ”
After a pause, Ji Ning asked Lin Ruan: "Am I right?" Mr. Lim. ”
"Right...... Right. Under Ji Ning's direct gaze, Lin Ruan subconsciously responded.
After answering, Ji Ning laughed, and the people next to her also laughed. Lin Ruan realized it later, and realized that those words were scolding her!
"Ji Ning, ...... you" Lin Ruan pointed at Lin Ruan with his finger, so angry that he couldn't speak: "Who do you say is the clown?" ”
