Chapter 8: The Hidden Weakness (Part II)
After the initial panic, Ji Si'an began to organize his thoughts under the cover of drinking water. What went wrong?
Slowly, she calmed down from the panic she had just had, and carefully reflected on Lori's reaction after entering the door. She suddenly laughed, "Lily, did you misunderstand?" ”
"Huh?" Luo Li thought that Ji Si'an didn't want to talk about the topic just now, and her question made her not react for a while.
"Do you think I have a boyfriend?" Ji Si'an has returned to his previous calm and self-control.
The corners of Luo Li's eyes were slightly raised, and there was a taste in her eyes that I understand, you don't need to say.
Ji Si'an sighed, it seems that she still needs a lie to cover up what happened the day before yesterday. "The old men's leather shoes at the door were put by Yuan Murang, a community police officer here."
As she spoke, she flipped out the photo from her phone, "It's her."
"Why did she let you put this? Ward off evil? Lori asked.
Ji Si'an looked at this guy whose mind was full of superstitious thoughts and said, "What kind of evil is to ward off thieves." The night before, when I came home, I found someone sneaking in front of my house, apparently trying to pry the door, I was terrified, ran out for help, and accidentally fell down a few times along the way. I'm still scared when I think about it. ”
"Thief? There are thieves here? ”
Luo Li lives in Chenghuang City, a high-end community, a complete monitoring system, coupled with a dense population, responsible for property, security, and many police stations, it is naturally rare to hear of thieves burglary.
"It's too remote here, and there will be some wandering crimes. I didn't let you come at night because I was worried that it wouldn't be safe. Ji Si'an said.
"Then you still have to pay attention to safety. If...... If you can, it's better to move to a safer place, after all, it's too far from where you work. Lori carefully watched the wording.
Ji Si'an didn't understand these truths, but the salary during the probation period was too low, and she could only afford to rent a house here except for the necessary expenses.
"Actually, you can consider sharing a house." Luo Li suggested.
"It's not always safe to share a house. There are many people and miscellaneous, and it is more troublesome to get along with, so it is not as comfortable as here. Ji Si'an said.
Luo Li obviously understood the problem and sighed: "It seems that it is better to have a university dormitory, which is economical and affordable." ”
Ji Si'an didn't want the atmosphere to be so low, so he changed the topic and said, "Have you had breakfast?" I'll take you out for a bite to eat."
"I almost forgot, I bought breakfast, double serving, let's eat together." Luo Li put the bag in her hand on the table and skillfully took out the food to share with Ji Si'an.
"This braised egg is for you, I remember you like to eat this the most."
Ji Si'an looked at the enthusiastic Luo Li, and felt a little guilty about hiding from her.
Luo Li didn't notice her strangeness at all, and concentrated on the advice Yuan Mu gave her. "Don't say it, the trick of putting shoes at the door can really deceive people, and even I was almost fooled."
Ji Si'an is not so optimistic, "She said that she can only deceive the thieves who are running around to commit crimes."
"Don't think too much, you can bluff one is one."
"When we become regular and can take on cases independently, the salary will be higher, and then you can move." Lori said.
Ji Si'an lowered his head and said, "I don't know if I can turn positive." ”
Luo Li knew that Ji Si'an was talking about her and Lawyer He. "Don't be too stubborn. If you take the initiative to go to Lawyer He to admit your mistake, he will definitely not bother with you if he has a good reputation. ”
Ji Si'an pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word.
Luo Li looked at Ji Si'an, whose back was straight, and sighed again. "Xiao An, we are in the workplace now, all for life, if you want to do this in the future, you need to adapt."
"I don't want to eat human blood steamed buns." Although Ji Si'an's voice was soft, his words were extremely hard.
Lori choked on her. "I ...... Why didn't I find you so annoying? ”
"When we're new to the workforce, there are some things that we don't have a choice about. When you have worked for a long time and have fame, you will naturally be able to choose cases, but until then, you are not qualified to choose. ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Ji Si'an found that Luo Li's face was a little vicissitudes when she said these words.
"Thank you for telling me this." Ji Si'an said sincerely.
Lori glanced at her, knowing that she didn't take her words very seriously. "I passed by the director's office that day and saw him touching Lu Qi's back ......."
"Don't look at his usual appearance of a decent gentleman, in fact, he often takes advantage of girls. I see that you don't usually attend the party organized by the company, have you also noticed? ”
Ji Si'an didn't dare to look at Luo Li's eyes like a frightened bird, and her hand unconsciously touched her short hair.
Lori deliberately turned her gaze away, pretending not to notice anything unusual about her. "I participate in club activities more at school, so I have seen these situations as well."
"Your contract is still in his hands, and it's not a way to avoid it. Just pay attention to drinking less alcohol at parties, watch your glass, and don't dress too ......coolly. Luo Li reminded as she pondered her words.
Ji Si'an's eyes were red, the muscles of his throat were tightened into a pimple, and he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Luo Li stroked her back: "It looks like lawyer He is still good." At least he did a lot of bad things for you when he was there. What do you think? Go and apologize to him. If you think about it from another angle, people have helped you so much, and you have to thank him no matter what. ”
Lori...... Actually, everything is understood. The funny thing is that she has always prided herself on being mature and transparent, but in fact, she is the real transparent.
"Thank you for telling me this." Ji Si'an finally regained his voice.
"Thanks for what? Aren't we friends? Lori laughed.
Ji Si'an nodded vigorously, and suffocated the dampness in his eyes by stuffing bread into his mouth.
Luo Li patted Ji Si'an's shoulder like an elder and said, "Hurry up and eat, I'll take you out for a walk in a while, the sun is very good today, I'll accompany you to bask in the sun to get rid of mildew." ”
In fact, what Luo Li hates the most is sunbathing, she is afraid of tanning ....... Ji Si was relieved to miss Luo Li's goodness, but his voice couldn't make a sound, and he only nodded vigorously.
"You don't have to push so hard, I'm really afraid you'll accidentally twist your neck." Luo Li said angrily. The tone turned out to be a bit like ...... Yuan Mu.
Sure enough, as Luo Li said, the sun is hot today. Ji Si'an enjoyed the feeling of being burned on his back. Luo Li ran early to wait for her in the shadows at the entrance of the subway station.
The western suburbs under the sun sweep away the haze, every inch of the corner is bathed in streamers, the first red is new, the new green is fully displayed, everywhere is full of the breath of the new year, compared with the night is simply not the same place. Ji Si'an still wanted to enjoy the scenery again, and Luo Li had already begun to urge her. Ji Si'an agreed, and trotted with her to the subway station. They made an appointment to go shopping.
Ji Si'an never knew that the subway station could be so noisy on weekends. She looked at the crowd and thought she was on the wrong track. Lori pulled her to the back of the car, and the dark corner was indeed much less crowded than the other doors.
Ji Si'an rubbed the pillar and wanted to go around from behind, but she almost stepped on someone else's foot, she was startled and hurriedly apologized. A pair of dirty little hands had reached out in front of her, "Sister, it's okay, give me some money for food."
