"Are you planning to study abroad after graduation?" Wang Yi asked casually.

"That's how it's planned for the time being. However, as you know, students in social sciences are not as motivated to go abroad as they are in science and engineering, and many people are more inclined to work directly after graduating from a bachelor's degree. ”

"Which country are you going to go to?"

"Actually, it's not completely decided, but now it's more inclined to go to the United States."

"I also plan to study in the United States. Would you like to have dinner together? ”

"Not today, I'm still waiting." Chen Ying saw the slightly disappointed expression on his face and said, "Next time you have time to go together." ”

"Okay, then—goodbye." He finished slung his bag over his shoulders and walked down the stairs, and the figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs. Chen Ying returned to her seat to study the content of tomorrow's tutor. Martin has reached the sprint stage before the high school entrance examination, and he can't be sloppy at all. She repeatedly read past papers and mock exam papers, trying to outline the key points and difficulties in the exam syllabus. She made strict annotations next to each big question, pondering the questioner's train of thought. Qin Hong hadn't come to the message yet, and her stomach had already begun to protest. She looked out the window at the fading and blurred landscape, and she couldn't sit still. She closed the book, turned on the computer connection gateway, and logged on to the website of the training class to search for the information Wang Yi said. In the colorful photos and various admissions information, and the introduction of the test-taking experience of outstanding candidates, she finally found the title of the message he said. Opening the link, she sees the announced list of winners.

The first place is her. The student number at the back is the student number she took last year, and she remembers it very well and will not make a mistake. At the bottom of the list is a description of the award, and the prize money is 1,000 yuan.

If it weren't for the library, Chen Ying would have almost sung out loud with joy. She couldn't hold back her excitement, explaining that she had no patience to continue reading the copyright ownership and award instructions in the future. She looked at the list in front of her repeatedly, and yes, it was herself. She looked around at her classmates who were still reading, and if she could, she really wanted to share the news with everyone in the room.

"I'm sorry to come back late, the road is very congested." Qin Hong sat in the empty seat next to her, leaned over to her computer and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

She proudly turned the computer screen over to show him the important announcement. She was so happy that she couldn't confess, and he came just in time.

"Won't it?" He said in disbelief, "Are you sure?" ”

"Of course, you can see that there is my student number behind it, so as to avoid misunderstandings caused by duplicate names." She said cheerfully.

"That's good, a thousand dollars." He said wryly, "Go eat, I have good news for you." ”

"What's the good news?"

"I'll talk about it while I'm eating."

Chen Ying packed her things, and Qin Hong helped her carry her bag. The two went downstairs and out of the library. Chen Yinggang wanted to walk in the direction of the cafeteria, but Qin Hong pulled her over, pointed to the east gate of the campus and said, "I'll take you to eat something good today." ”

"Don't break the bank, it's been a lot of money lately." She said with some hesitation.

"It's okay, just this once. I invite you. ”

He took her shoulders and walked out of the school. They passed by the School of Physics and the School Press at the east gate, passed by the All Saints Book Garden, and finally came to a rather bustling intersection. To the north of the intersection are high-end office buildings with glass curtain walls, which are filled with high-tech companies and, of course, shopping malls, training centers and restaurants. The intersection is full of people and traffic, and the traffic lights change repeatedly. The shops on the street are lit up, and together with the street lights, the area is lit up as if it were daylight.

"It's almost there." Qin Hong said when he saw the puzzled look on Chen Ying's face.

He took her by the hand and walked to the door of a restaurant with two long red lanterns hanging from it. The shop is decorated in an Oriental style, and a row of small dark blue curtains are hung on the wooden door frame at the main entrance. The names of various fish were printed on the door curtain with white paint, and Chen Ying did not recognize several words. The floor of the aisle is paved with squarely cut bluestone bricks, which are immaculately cleaned. Each table and matching chairs are yellow and wooden, and the surface is evenly varnished. The seats are paved with black pebbles underneath them, and the feet are slippery on them. A dozen wooden plaques hang on one wall with the names of various dishes written in calligraphy. It's already time to eat, there are not many people in the restaurant, and many tables are empty. Qin Hong took her to choose a position inside. There is a fish pond next to the seat, and there is a rockery next to the fish pond, and an electric small water wheel brings the water in the pool to a high place, and then flows down the rockery, and falls into the pool to make a roaring sound. A few rulers of koi fish in the pond are leisurely spitting bubbles. There are also two small shrimp curled up and hiding in the corner at the bottom of the pool, motionless.

"I heard Wu Yun say that it's quite expensive here." Chen Ying whispered.

Qin Hong opened the menu with the black cover as if he hadn't heard it, and began to order. Chen Ying looked around apprehensively, and most of the other customers were like white-collar workers working in the surrounding area, and there were almost no students.

"Another pot of brown rice tea, that's all." After Qin Hong finished speaking, he returned the menu to the waiter.

"Okay. Serve you food right away. After the waiter finished speaking, he took out a small hourglass from the apron in front of him and placed it between them, "At this timer, we promise to serve you all the dishes within the specified time." ”

"Okay." Qin Hong said.

"Say, what good news." Waiting for the waiter to walk away, Chen Ying asked.

"Guess."

"I think you've found a satisfying job."

"That's right. I went to the interview this afternoon and talked to the examiner for almost an hour. After the interview, she called me to the office for half an hour, mainly to talk to me about the development of the law firm and the direction in which it is good at. After hearing this, I felt that it was quite in line with my interests, and it was a well-known law firm, so I would like to join them. ”

"How's it going?"

In terms of salary, she said that there is a certain guaranteed salary every month, and other performance depends on work performance, mainly lawyer fee income. I've just started in the industry, and it's definitely not too high, and after working for a few years and accumulating a certain amount of contacts and case sources, it should be pretty good. Many of the people in this law firm graduated from our school, and I met a senior brother in our upper class in the corridor and chatted with him for a few words. ”

"Sounds good, congratulations." Chen Ying smiled comfortably.

"yes." Qin Hong yawned and lifted a strand of her long hair draped over her shoulders, "In the past few months, I have submitted resumes, run interviews, guarded my mobile phone every day and waited to answer the phone, and I haven't been able to sleep lazily for a day, I'm really tired." ”

"Nothing, here's your training card. I'll help you sign up in the afternoon. She took out the white plastic card in the pocket of her trench coat and placed it in front of him, "Fortunately, I went early, otherwise there would have been no place." ”

"You're still the best for me." He took her in his arms and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Everything you order is what you like to eat, you are wronged and wait for me every day, don't worry about money, try to eat as much as possible." ”

"Hmm." With black chopsticks, she picked up a California roll with orange-red crab roe, dipped it in soy sauce and put it in her mouth, chewing happily.

You get what you pay for, and the food here is exceptionally delicious. After being hungry for a while just now, Chen Ying's appetite has increased greatly, and she eats up the food served on the plate without hesitation. Qin Hong ate a bowl of steaming udon noodles next to him, and pushed the plate of grilled and juicy eel in front of Chen Ying.

"Don't worry, eat slowly, it's all yours." He said lovingly, touching her thin shoulders.
