Chapter 42: The Provocation Comes to the Door

Xu Xiaxi's movements froze, looking at the man's focused expression, his small mouth couldn't help but open slightly, but there was no sound.

This stupid little appearance is really interesting, Fu Lichen couldn't help but rub her hair again, and slowly seduced: "Now you are willing to eat well, right?"

"Ahh Xu Xiaxi's mind was still confused, and he subconsciously responded.

But she came to her senses immediately, obviously she had already decided not to pay attention to what the other party said, why did Fu Lichen be a little gentle with her, and she agreed in a daze?

Xu Xiaxi almost wanted to knock himself to death, he was really stupid!

was about to regret it, but Fu Lichen had already restrained his smile and said solemnly: "Eat first, and I have something to tell you later."

Xu Xiaxi had no choice but to sit obediently at the table and dine with Fu Lichen.

She was hiding something in her heart, and she ate a little absent-mindedly, and when the two of them finally finished eating, Xia Xi didn't rush to leave.

After looking at Fu Lichen several times, she barely mustered up her courage and asked in a low voice, "What did you mean by that just now?"

It's too much to say something as misleading as 'it's just her', and it makes her feel like a roller coaster, and it makes her feel very uncomfortable

She didn't like this feeling, and she didn't like Fu Lichen to lie to her.

There are so many traces in this room, she doesn't believe that Fu Lichen is the only one living here.

But Fu Lichen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Literally."

Then he didn't wait for Xia Xi to ask again, and said, "Xi Xi, when did I lie to you?" ”

Xu Xiaxi was slightly stunned, and the strange feeling steamed again, but she was quickly pressed down.

She pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Fu Lichen said lightly: "I prepare the shoes and aprons by myself, and there is no one else."

Xu Xiaxi's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked suspiciously, "Why are you preparing these?"

How did she not know that Fu Lichen still had such a peculiar hobby?

Fu Lichen's eyes were gentle, and he smiled without saying a word.

Xu Xiaxi didn't know whether to ask or not.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Fu Lichen suddenly smiled and said.

Xia Xi blinked suspiciously, not understanding what Fu Lichen meant by what he was talking about, so he saw Fu Lichen take out a voice recorder and put it in front of her.

"What?" Xu Xiaxi was even more confused.

"Listen."

Xu Xiaxi obediently picked up the recorder and pressed the play button.

At the beginning, Fu Lichen's indifferent voice began: "On the school wishing stone, your name was engraved by you?" ”

"How do you know?" Yang Yujun's voice was a little surprised.

There was a pause for a moment, and then an embarrassed voice: "People like you!" Besides, it's just a name, and it's not that good, you won't be angry with me for this little thing! ”

The conversation before and after lasted no more than three minutes, but he perfectly and rudely answered the reason why the names of him and Yang Yujun appeared on the wishing stone for Fu Lichen.

The kind of evidence that is conclusive.

It is much simpler and faster than Fu Lichen personally explaining.

The expression on Xu Xiaxi's face also changed from suspicion to shock, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

This fuse that led to the estrangement and even separation between the two had such an inside story, which really made her not know what to say.

Couples on the wishing stone carve each other's names for a long time, which is originally a metaphysical theory and has no scientific basis.

Before Natsuki heard this recording, she couldn't imagine that anyone would think of cheating on such a thing, and she was speechless.

Fu Lichen waited for Xu Xiaxi to recover from the news before he said calmly: "I have nothing to do with Yang Yujun, I didn't know about the wishing stone before. Whatever she told you, it wasn't true. ”

Be concise and to the point.

Sure enough, it was Fu Lichen's answering style.

"I ......" Xu Xiaxi opened his mouth, his voice was bitter, but he found that he didn't seem to have anything to say.

At that time, she would accept her mother's arrangement to study abroad, although it was not entirely because of this incident, but she knew in her heart that it was definitely a very important driving force.

Now he told her that everything was Yang Yujun's misdirection and her misunderstanding.

The conclusive evidence was spread out in front of her, and Natsuki still didn't feel real.

It's one thing to have a sudden realization, but then what?

Xu Xiaxi lowered her head, she didn't seem to have anything to say, and finally replied happily, "I know." ”

A misunderstanding may be a misunderstanding, but it has been missed.

————

This time, the quarterly assessment standard of Wanzong Law Firm is mainly the number of cases accepted by individuals.

Xu Xiaxi performed well in Chen Jing's case, and Ye Qian gave her some cases, she actually took on six or seven cases.

This score is not the worst among all paralegals, and in terms of efficiency, Xu Xiaxi is not worse than Tan Zhi, but it can't stand the sum of others!

I don't know who told her about the bet between her and Tan Zhi, and the whole law firm knew about it, and some people even opened a table to bet on who would win in the end.

But the bets were reversed, and all of them pressed Tan Zhi to win, and Xu Xiaxi's odds reached one to twenty, which is still a fart!

There are less than two days left before the time of the assessment, Xu Xiaxi has almost no chance of winning, and Tan Zhi finally couldn't help it.

No, she just poured a cup of coffee and returned to her booth, Tan Zhi ran over again, pretending to be concerned, "Xia Xi, the assessment will be taken tomorrow, how many cases do you have on hand now?" Need my help? ”

said so, but it's strange that Tan Zhi will help, and it's good if you don't make trouble.

Xu Xiaxi didn't want to pretend to be with Tan Zhi, nodded vaguely, and said casually: "It's already speeding up."

There are only two days left, and Tan Zhi doesn't believe that she can really surpass herself.

Xu Xiaxi must be bluffing.

Tan Zhi laughed at all kinds of ridicule in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to speak: "You can't do this, as Lawyer Fu's assistant, is it really okay to get this kind of achievement?"

Then without waiting for Xia Xi to answer, she continued: "But you don't have to worry, even if you really can't meet Lawyer Fu's requirements, there is still a shortage of assistants in the firm, and it will not be a problem for you to stay, don't be too discouraged!"

This tone seems to be regretful, but both inside and outside the words are mocking Xu Xiaxi's incompetence.

If this is comfort, it is better not to say it.

Xu Xiaxi looked at Tan Zhi depressedly, speechless.

This person is so big-faced, not to mention that Tan Zhi is just an assistant, and he is not qualified to discuss her whereabouts and stays, and the most important thing is that it is not yet the end of the month, how can Tan Zhi conclude that she will lose?

She was depressed, but she still politely said thank you.

As for the nonsense that the other party said, she didn't pay attention to it at all and continued to study the information she had at hand.

Seeing this, Tan Zhi became even more energetic, and then said: "Xia Xi, I know you have a good memory, but the profession of law can't be done by rote memorization alone, you still have to go out and walk more often, and you can really learn things by hitting the wall."

Don't think that you look serious, I can't tell that you spent a month sorting out the information before you sneered at me.

She didn't bother to argue with Tan Zhi about her gains in the archives for more than a month, pulled the corners of her mouth, and said perfunctorily: "Thank you for your concern, I will grasp all kinds of learning opportunities myself."

deliberately accentuated the word 'self', and Xu Xiaxi almost didn't say directly, 'You don't need to be nosy!' ’

But Tan Zhi obviously enjoyed her 'annoyance and anger', that is, she didn't leave in front of her, and even took a magazine and flipped it in front of her.

He said leisurely: "Eh, I'm not so lucky, I've been working hard for almost two months, and it's time to rest for a while."

Xu Xiaxi couldn't help but blacken his face, this person shouldn't be mentally retarded!

She couldn't figure it out, Tan Zhi didn't just get a few more cases than her, it was temporary!

Where did this inexplicable sense of superiority come from?

It's irritating!

But she still had to take care of her colleague relationship, so she had to pretend that she didn't hear anything, bow her head and continue her work.

No matter what Tan Zhi says, she doesn't talk anymore.

None of them noticed that the conversation between the two just now was all listened to by Duan Ze, the accountant of the law firm, in full version.

It is said that a few women are a play, Duan Ze didn't expect to hear such a good show when he passed by.

Xu Xiaxi PK Tan Zhi!

As the chief accountant of Wanzong Law Firm, how could Duan Ze miss such a good show.

- In fact, he is the biggest expert on this gambling.

However, seeing Tan Zhi unilaterally 'abuse' Xu Xiaxi in such a scathing tone, Duan Ze rolled his eyes and naturally walked into Fu Lichen's office.

Do your due diligence and make small reports.

Fu Lichen's reaction was flat, he just squinted at Duan Ze, "Finished?" ”

Duan Ze was stunned, and then exaggeratedly shouted: "Fu Lichen, aren't you!" Watching your woman being bullied and not speaking is not like you. ”

Fu Lichen glanced at him impatiently and snorted, "Which eye did you see her being bullied?" ”

"It's not called bullying, then you're really generous." Duan Ze's eyes were round, and he didn't know what to say!

Yes, Tan Zhi's words do sound fine on the surface, but people with a little emotional intelligence can hear her sarcasm.

In and out of the words, they are talking about how Xu Xiaxi is inferior to her, if Tan Zhi really relies on her own ability, then there is nothing to say.

But Duan Ze knew that at least more than half of Tan Zhi's performance was pulled from Yu Yingying, if Xu Xiaxi was like her, Fu Lichen could take on dozens or even hundreds of cases casually.

I don't know what Tan Zhi is so good about?!

Thinking of this, Duan Ze couldn't help frowning and asked, "Yingying, what is this doing?" I didn't know Tan Zhi's intentions before that Tan Zhi 'cheated' some cases, but why didn't he come back later?

Even if Tan Zhi doesn't target your family, this style shouldn't be prevalent in law firms, right? ”

If every assistant who has no case source relies on coquettishness to his boss to fight for the source of the case, won't the entire competition mechanism be chaotic?

As a partner of a law firm, Yu Yingying shouldn't know about this?!

Fu Lichen shrugged indifferently and said casually: "She thinks Tan Zhi is too pitiful, so she wants to help Tan Zhi so that the other party can work with peace of mind." ”

So why don't you care?

Duan Ze glared, and when he was about to ask the question, there was a familiar commotion at the door.

It was Director Long Kun who came out to speak.

The two looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Long Kun has always liked to keep a low profile, and when he is in the institute, in addition to showing up when recruiting new recruits, he will only come out to say a few words when he is assessed at the end of the month.

But it's not the end of the month, is it?

When they walked to the conference room, they learned that because Long Kun had a case and needed to go to the field immediately, in order not to affect the assessment, the assessment time was advanced by two days.

As soon as the news came out, several assistants couldn't help but wail.

Duan Ze also stabbed Fu Lichen with his elbow, squinting: What should I do this time? With Tan Zhi's pee, I'm afraid your woman will be humiliated by her in public!
