Under the Stars of Van Gogh

Whether it is a man and a woman, or a man and a man, it is inevitable that lovers will have some intimate actions together.

On this point, Qin Ankang and Ren Jianing are no exception.

But it was Qin Ankang who basically took the initiative every time, and they were all limited to holding hands. Hugs and kisses only happened in extremely rare cases.

Ren Jianing's attitude towards this kind of matter is lukewarm, neither completely resisting nor proposing.

Every time Qin Ankang finds an opportunity to touch here and there, and take the opportunity to eat Ren Jianing's tofu.

Essentially nothing was done.

Just when Qin Ankang was thinking hard about how to completely subvert their current "pure" lover relationship, something happened that really subverted their relationship.

The matter is very simple. A part of a rather abstract body painting by Ren Jianing was used in the logo of a brand trademark of a company dealing in health care equipment, but without Ren Jianing's consent, this constituted an infringement.

The first person to know about this was a teacher of the college. A relative of his family bought this brand of health care equipment. When he saw the logo, he thought it looked familiar, but later he remembered that it was a work by Ren Jianing.

Early the next morning, he told Ren Jianing.Of course Ren Jianing was very angry. Apart from being angry, he was very surprised. He couldn't figure out why a company that sells health care equipment would choose his painting trademark. It's impossible to beat!

Needless to say, Ren Jianing, the leaders of the college first stood up to express dissatisfaction and shock, and immediately organized a meeting. The banner was how to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights. The main content of the discussion was how to deal with this problem. Unanimously decided to use legal means to resolve.

What a creator values ​​most is reputation, so the academy proposed to publish an apology in the newspaper and compensate a certain amount of mental damage.

Ren Jianing didn't want to make things big in his heart. If possible, it's better to negotiate with the manufacturer in private to achieve the goal of privacy.

However, the person in charge insisted that they did not steal Ren Jianing's work, which was completely a coincidence.

This explanation was obviously too far-fetched. Later, under the pressure of Ren Jianing, the person in charge stuttered and couldn't say anything. In the end, he even accused Ren Jianing of plagiarizing their trademark and wanted to sue him.

Ren Jianing is a person who doesn't get angry easily, but this time he was trembling with anger.It seems that there is no other solution except to file a lawsuit.

This matter seems to have nothing to do with Qin Ankang, but it happened that this company handed over the case to Qin Ankang's office, and it happened that Director Zhao handed over the case to Qin Ankang.

"Director Zhao, I can't take this case." Qin Ankang pushed the documents back to Director Zhao.

Director Zhao looked very surprised and asked, "Why?"

Of course, Qin Ankang would not be so stupid as to reveal his relationship with Ren Jianing, so he had to find another excuse, saying: "I still have a case at hand here. And I also helped Lao Li's case, it is really useless .”

"Oh. Old Li's case has been handed over to Xiao Chen. Newcomers should also exercise a bit. Isn't the case at hand about to be closed?" Director Zhao knows the work progress of all the lawyers in the firm like the palm of his hand.

"Ah." Qin Ankang had nothing to say now, so he responded.

Director Zhao pushed the case file to Qin Ankang again, and said: "I know this case is difficult, the evidence is not very sufficient, and the advantage lies with the other party. But Mr. Sun believes in your strength. In the previous such a complicated economic case, you Aren't they all coming back to life at the last moment, seeking victory in danger?"

Qin Ankang smiled wryly, thinking: Can this be the same?

Now it's not about ability, but he and Ren Jianing have this kind of relationship. Logically speaking, he can be regarded as an insider who has a joint relationship and shouldn't be involved in the case. However, his identity as an "insider" cannot be clearly stated. I can't tell the pain.

"So, the firm still attaches great importance to you. Take the kickback incident last time as an example. Mr. Sun has always been stern and selfless, and he was extra merciful to ask you to accept it. It can be seen that you are in his heart Xiao Qin, in our office, I have always been optimistic about you, and next time I vote for directors, I will definitely be you." Director Zhao pointed out something in his words.

What else could Qin Ankang say, if he refused again, he would be a bit disrespectful, and he couldn't find a reason for the refusal, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, I understand."

When Qin Ankang returned to his desk, Xiao Chen came over to handle the handover procedures of Lao Li's economic case with him.

After completing the handover absent-mindedly, Qin Ankang sat on a chair in a daze, staring at the file on the table. He didn't know how to explain to Ren Jianing when he got home, and he couldn't explain it no matter what!

Ever since he was with Ren Jianing, every day he was looking forward to the time passing faster, coming home from get off work earlier, seeing Ren Jianing earlier, and eating his meals earlier.

But now it's past the time to get off work, and Qin Ankang is still sitting at his desk, showing no intention of leaving.

The colleagues around him packed up their things and left one after another. They passed by him and said hello, "Lawyer Qin hasn't left yet?"

He had no choice but to play sloppy and say, "Well, leave after reading this case."

Someone came over and said, "Hey, it's rare to see lawyer Qin working overtime recently."

Qin Ankang smiled embarrassedly, but did not speak.

He was the only one left in the office. He looked up at his watch. It was already 7 o'clock. The sky outside the window was completely dark.

Ren Jianing must be sitting on the sofa at this moment, waiting for him to go back to eat.

He took out his mobile phone, there was neither a call nor a message.

Ren Jianing seldom called him when he was working, and if he had something to do, he just sent a message.

If he can't go home for dinner on time, he will take the initiative to call him.

After a while, he packed up his things and came to the parking lot. The uncle who was in charge of watching the car still greeted him warmly: "Lawyer Qin, it's late today. Go back quickly, or my wife will be in a hurry."

Qin Ankang smiled and said, "You should eat earlier, too."

Qin Ankang can speak well, and he is very popular no matter in the work unit or in the community, especially the elderly, who prefer to chat with him.

Even though it was a slow drive, we got home quickly.

Standing downstairs and seeing the lights on at home, Qin Ankang really didn't want to go up.

Qin Ankang walked to the door and opened it by himself as soon as he took out the key. Ren Jianing immediately came into sight, Qin Ankang avoided his gaze like a guilty conscience.

"Why did you come back? Is there a traffic jam? Or did you work overtime?" Ren Jianing asked with concern.

Qin Ankang said while changing his shoes: "Work overtime." The mood was obviously not high.

Ren Jianing didn't notice the change in his mood, and went to the restaurant to heat up the food.

When Qin Ankang changed his clothes and came out, the food was already hot.

The two sat opposite each other and ate in silence.

Qin Ankang was preoccupied, and mechanically chewed the rice in his mouth. Ren Jianing put a piece of braised pork in his bowl and said, "Why don't you eat it? Didn't you say you want to eat braised pork?"

"En." Qin Ankang quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice, and responded awkwardly, but the piece of meat didn't reach his mouth either.

Ren Jianing saw that something was wrong with him, so he didn't ask any more questions, thinking that he had encountered some difficult case at the firm, and they never asked each other about work, so it was a tacit understanding.

After dinner, Qin Ankang sat in the living room watching TV as usual, while Ren Jianing cleaned up the kitchen.

Qin Ankang clicked on a few TV stations at random, and the programs were all so-so. He was so upset that he couldn't watch anything. He even lost interest in his favorite football.

He got up, went to the kitchen, hugged Ren Jianing who was washing dishes in front of the sink from behind, and buried his head deeply in his neck.

"Don't make trouble, I'm washing the dishes." Ren Jianing bumped him with his elbow, trying to tell him to let go, but Qin Ankang hugged him tighter and refused to let go.

Ren Jianing smiled helplessly, turned on the faucet, washed off the foam on his hands, turned around and raised Qin Ankang's head and asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Or something happened to the office?"

Qin Ankang lowered his head stubbornly and said, "No."

Ren Jianing smiled and said, "Then what's wrong with you?"

Qin Ankang raised his head, looked closely at Ren Jianing and said, "Jianning, I love you."

Ren Jianing said, "Ankang, I know."

Qin Ankang said quietly: "It's good that you know, I won't do anything to sorry you, you have to trust me."

Ren Jianing frowned. He didn't know what happened to Qin Ankang at the office today. He acted strangely when he came home, and his behavior was very different from usual. Now he said such words again, people couldn't understand , I couldn't figure it out, so I had to coax him and say, "I know you are good to me, why would you do something wrong to me? Of course I believe you."

Hearing what he said, Qin Ankang felt even more uncomfortable, and said, "Well, then you can leave after washing in a while, it's too late, it's not safe to go back."

Ren Jianing didn't think much, nodded, turned around and continued to wash the dishes.

That night, Qin Ankang suffered from insomnia again.
