You are my proper foothold

Originally, only Jiang Xin knew about Hui Xiaoyou's resignation from G University.

He didn't tell Chen Jiashu and Wei Zhiyu about this immediately because the reason for his resignation was hard to explain, and he didn't want them to worry about it.

Especially Chen Jiashu.Hui Xiaoyou knew that his family had a deep background, and he might still be in touch with that student's family, if that was the case, Hui Xiaoyou would be even more reluctant to involve him.

Between friends, there are trusts and distrusts.No matter how good the relationship is, there are boundaries that cannot be crossed. Only by grasping this point can friends last long.

However, Hui Xiaoyou never expected that Chen Jiashu's news channels would be so wide.

Or to change it to another word, it's such a coincidence.

After the three-day holiday on New Year's Day ended, Hui Xiaoyou and Jiang Xin came to Jiaxin on the morning of the [-]th. When he opened the office door, he found Chen Jiashu sitting inside with his legs crossed, reading the news on his mobile phone.

"Hey, here we come." Hearing the voice, Chen Jiashu raised his head and looked at them, with a strange expression, neither smiling nor angry.

"Senior Brother Chen, did you come to find me so early?" Jiang Xin asked while helping Yan Xiaoyou take off his coat.

Chen Jiashu shook his head, raised his eyebrows at Yan Xiaoyou again, and said, "I'll look for him."

"Looking for me?" Hui Xiaoyou sat down beside him with his collar straightened, and asked strangely: "What do you want me for? Just tell me."

Chen Jiashu stared at him for two seconds and asked, "Xiaoyou, how many professors of quantitative finance are there in your center?"

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and then said after a pause, "Ah, what's the matter? You also want to be a professor?"

"No." Chen Jiashu lowered his gaze and fixedly looked at him, "Tell me the truth, have you resigned?"

"...Huh?" Hui Xiaoyou felt guilty for the first time in front of Chen Jiashu.

As soon as Chen Jiashu saw his reaction, he knew that there was no need to ask any more questions, and said directly: "You didn't even mention half a word to me about such a big matter as resignation, are we still buddies?"

"...What a big deal it is to resign..." Hui Xiaoyou stared, looking like a stern paper tiger, "I just want to change jobs, there's no need to brag about it."

"You just want to change your job??" Chen Jiashu repeated his words word for word, "Are you kidding me? I think I almost wore out my lips back then, and you refused to agree to change jobs. Now, who are you lying to with such an understatement?"

Hui Xiaoyou was speechless by what he said, after thinking about it, he decided that defense is worse than offense, so he sat up straight and said, "Chen Jiashu, I just resigned and didn't tell you, are you going to worry about such a trivial matter with me?"

"That's all?!" Chen Jiashu glanced at Jiang Xin quickly, and said with a half-smile: "You didn't even hide the fact that you liked him before, why didn't you tell me this time when you resigned? Do you think I'll believe that you just didn't have a chance? Do you want to change jobs for no reason?? If you can’t handle something in school, just tell me and it’s over! Why should my brother be run away by others when he devotes himself to teaching!!”

Yan Xiaoyou: "..."

At this moment, Jiang Xin couldn't stand it anymore, so she persuaded: "Senior brother Chen, don't be angry, brother didn't tell you that he didn't want to cause trouble for you—"

"Others cause trouble, but can his affairs be considered trouble?" Chen Jiashu seemed to get angry as he talked more and more, suddenly turned his head to look at Hui Xiaoyou, and said angrily and aggrievedly: "Xiaoyou, I put You are a real brother, if you still treat me like this, I will, I will..."

"That's it?" Hui Xiaoyou pursed his lips and looked at him after asking.

"I won't talk to you for three days!" Chen Jiashu panted heavily and turned his head away.

But Xiaoyou couldn't help but secretly laughed.

He was actually very touched in his heart, because he could make such a heart-to-heart friend.But the phrase "I won't talk to you for three days" that Chen Jiashu just said made him really want to laugh. He felt that this was already a very serious threat to the good-tempered classmate Chen, but no matter how he heard it, he felt like a schoolboy bickering.

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Xin, and found that Jiang Xin was also suppressing a smile, and when he saw him looking over, he gave him a wink, signaling him to coax Chen Jiashu.

Hui Yue nodded a little, turned around and pulled his friend back with a smile, and said in a very gentle voice, "Jia Shu...are you really angry with me?"

Chen Jiashu trembled uncontrollably, his face was a little tense, he deliberately coughed a few times before saying stiffly: "Well, I'm angry."

"Don't be angry." Hui Xiaoyou rubbed his arms back and forth on the sofa like noodles, and said flatteringly: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have had sex with you... next time I'll be sure The matter will bother you immediately! Oh no, it’s not called trouble, I will order you to help me settle it right away, okay? Okay—no—ok—well——jia—shu—”

"Stop, stop, stop!!!" Chen Jiashu couldn't resist anymore, he felt that if he continued to resist, it would be more than just getting goosebumps, so he had to surrender and said: "Dude, buddy, don't be like this... you That's right, I was wrong...I shouldn't be angry, you must never be like that again...I want to live a few more years..."

"What do you mean? I've cut your life for being nice to you?" Hui Yue raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chen Jiashu smiled so much that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, folded his palms together and begged for forgiveness: "No... I'm very happy that you treat me well! Really!! But now, I'm not used to two people being gentle to me...you alone , give one..."

"...Chen Jiashu, there is no one else with your M-shaking ultimate body." Hui Xiaoyou pretended to shake his head helplessly, and asked again: "By the way, how did you know that I resigned?"

When Chen Jiashu heard this question, he immediately got excited again, patted the armrest and said, "Let me tell you, the world is really too small! Just yesterday, our family and your successor's family were sitting at the same table for dinner! "

"You mean Yan Shu?" Hui Xiaoyou was slightly surprised, "The one who can sit and eat with your family should not be an ordinary family... Wait! Could it be that Yan——Yan's family??" Hui Yue stretched out a finger and pointed upwards.

Chen Jiashu had an expression of "you understand", smiled inscrutably and said, "The surname Yan is quite rare. Xiaoyou, tell me honestly why you resigned this time? Yan Shu told me yesterday that he The reason why I went to the Economic Center of G University as a professor of quantitative finance was because the previous professor had a problem with his style of work, and he voluntarily applied for resignation, and then the vice president of the center, Chen, hired him. Let me tell you that I almost heard here Just blow it up! What kind of bullshit?! Is there a problem with style?? The brains of people who say this kind of bullshit should be taken out to wash and dry!"

Hui Xiaoyou saw that Chen Jiashu was going to get angry again while talking, so he quickly persuaded him, "Don't worry, I think it's a light thing to say that I have a problem with my style, they have to find a decent reason for themselves, I guess Within. Don't be angry, don't be angry."

Chen Jiashu had to take a deep breath to calm himself down, then looked at Hui Xiaoyou seriously and said, "You haven't answered me yet, why on earth?"

Hui Xiaoyou knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he couldn't help sighing slightly, and then simply explained the reasons why he left the center.

And Chen Jiashu's first reaction after listening to it was two words: "Fuck!"

"What the hell are you trying to do?! The bullies are all bullying us!! What's the name of the student? You tell me, I'll look it up, I'd like to see who's face is so big!" Chen Jiashu rubbed He stood up suddenly and paced quickly in the office.

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help but looked at him and smiled helplessly, "Sit down first, okay, I'm dizzy."

"No!" Chen Jiashu stared at Jiang Xin again after finishing speaking, "What's wrong with you, your wife is being bullied like this and you're still angry?? It's fine if he coaxes him to swallow it, you have to tell me!!"

Jiang Xin smiled even more helplessly than Yan Xiaoyou. He stood up from his seat and walked between them, leaning on his desk with his hands in his pockets and said, "I'm angry, but I agree with senior brother's way of handling it. Senior brother Chen , This kind of thing has always been getting darker and darker. It's hard to tell how many people and how many layers of relationships are involved in it. How many people really dare to listen to it? After hearing it, can it really be done? Just do it It must be true? You should know these things better than us."

Chen Jiashu curled his lips when he heard this, "Then it depends on who speaks more effectively. Isn't it just a relationship, who said our relationship can't be tougher than them?"

"Then let's make this matter bigger and bigger." Hui Yue looked at Jiang Xin, then said to Chen Jiashu, "I don't want to make the atmosphere of the school even worse because of this matter. Yan Shu should be He is a good teacher, as long as he continues to teach this class, based on his background, those people should not dare to play tricks in front of him in the future, and return the school and students to a quiet place, and I will not feel wronged when I leave."

Jiang Xin nodded in agreement at this time, and said with a smile: "The environment is not suitable, and it may not be a good thing to force them to stay. However, if there is an opportunity to retaliate against relevant personnel in the future, I will not miss it."

"..."

Hui Xiaoyou and Chen Jiashu looked at each other silently, they both felt a chill from Jiang Xin's words just now.

Hui Yue even pictured Jiang Xin taking out a small black notebook from his pocket while smiling, and gracefully writing down names on it.

What Chen Jiashu thinks is that if Junior Brother Jiang can spend 14 years chasing a person, then he probably can really implement the concept of "a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late".

kind of scary...

Fortunately, after Jiang Xin finished speaking, she returned to her usual gentle tone, looked at the two of them and smiled, "Can this matter come to an end temporarily? Today is the first day of the new year when the market opens. Shouldn't your focus be Put it on K-line?"

"Oh..." Chen Jiashu responded first, then pointed to the door, and said, "Then I'll go back to the office first, let's analyze what's going on later."

"Well, there is a discussion meeting for all fund managers at 03:30 in the afternoon. Brother Chen is also on the mailing list. Welcome to come and guide me then." Jiang Xin returned to her seat and said.

Chen Jiashu nodded and opened the door to go out, while Hui Xiaoyou was still looking at Jiang Xin thoughtfully.

Jiang Xin noticed his gaze, and waited for a while before laughingly said: "Brother, even if I am handsome, you don't have to keep staring at me."

"...Why are you so smug!" Hui Xiaoyou laughed, walked up behind him and pressed his shoulder and asked, "Mr. Xin, you probably didn't mean it when you said you were going to retaliate, right?"

Jiang Xin couldn't help smiling, and made a gesture of "come with your ears" to him.

Hui Xiaoyou bent down obediently when she saw it, and put her ear to his mouth, but Jiang Xin turned her head and bit his earlobe lightly, then said with a smirk, "Of course I'm serious."

"Hey..." Hui Yue rubbed his reddened ears with his fingers, and looked at him worriedly, "Don't be silly, this matter is over, don't worry about it in the future."

"Then how can I do that?" Jiang Xin looked outside the office and found that the assistant was not in the position for the time being, so he pulled Yan Xiaoyou to sit on his lap, pulled him into his arms and said with a smile, "Senior brother, what do you say about me?" My wife is being bullied, so what kind of husband am I if I don’t express myself at all?”

Hui Xiaoyou: "...don't make trouble, I'm telling you the truth, I'm not joking."

"I'm not joking either." Jiang Xin's smile subsided slightly, "Brother, it's true that I want to retaliate, and I don't need to wait for the future, it's now."

Somehow Hui Xiaoyou always felt terrified when he heard his words, wanted to stand up but was held down by Jiang Xin, so he could only frowned and asked seriously: "Tell me what you did?"

"I didn't do anything. It's just that I have a friend who works in the procuratorate. At the end of the year, there are no cases. Just recently, the superior ordered them to strictly investigate corruption, so I told him roughly what I know." Jiang Xin said casually.

But Hui Xiaoyou couldn't sit still anymore, his eyebrows were almost knit together, "You mean, you asked him to investigate that student's parent? How can you be sure that he must be corrupt??"

Jiang Xin narrowed her eyes slightly, and smiled, "This kind of person is generally not clean. And Chen Mingjie, if he confiscated other people's money, I don't believe that he is willing to do things for others with all his heart."

Hui Xiaoyou: "...Didn't you just tell Chen Jiashu that it would be useless to investigate this matter?"

Jiang Xin: "I'm talking about investigating the fact that they forced you to resign. If anything is found out, the consequences will not be serious. But corruption and bribery are different. Now that the state is so strict on this aspect, who would dare to If you step on this line, you are going to get into the prison, and no matter how deep the background is, it will not work."

"But if that's the case, the school..."

"Senior brother." Jiang Xin held Hui Xiaoyou's hand, and her voice was deliberately lowered, "I understand that you don't want these things to affect the students, but I personally think that the problem can only be solved if the cancer is completely removed." It’s just a bad idea to cover it up. Although even if Chen Mingjie leaves, it won’t change the overall situation much, but I think at least in a short period of time, things like ‘students bribe teachers to modify their grades’ should be curbed .”

"I know..." Hui Xiaoyou lowered his head in some hesitation, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "But is it really appropriate for us to do this? Does this count as being behind people's backs..."

"Forget it, it doesn't count." Jiang Xin smiled softly at him, "If the final investigation has no results, then I'm too mean. But if the results are found out, it doesn't matter what they are about to face Injustice."

Hui Xiaoyou nodded silently, but he was still not sure whether he should agree with Jiang Xin's actions.

Of course Jiang Xin understood what he was thinking, and after thinking for a while, she said to him seriously: "Brother, I know you may think that I am doing this unkindly, but let me justify myself, the procuratorate's investigation is a formal judicial procedure, We don't have to fight for relationships and backgrounds. The results of the investigation are what they are, and I will accept them. But I don't want to watch these people continue to rely on their own power to run amok and lawless, especially when they hurt Someone I care about."

"I understand what you mean." Hui Xiaoyou raised his head to look at him, his gaze was still a bit serious, "But such a fake hand..."

"You mean to say that killing someone with a borrowed knife." Jiang Xin met his gaze with a smile, "Brother, you don't have to worry about my thoughts. In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that someone borrowed a knife to kill someone, but I prefer the idea of ​​mutual benefit and win-win. The procuratorate has set an annual case acceptance quota, and if there is less, there will be punishment. In this case, it happens that my friend lacks a case and I lack the means. It is not a violation of discipline to help each other. Besides, if the case is finally settled, I will report it meritorious service."

"Hmm..." Hui Yue let out a long sigh after responding.

In fact, he didn't understand that Jiang Xin was right.If both the parent and Chen Mingjie have committed corruption and bribery, it is reasonable and reasonable to be punished after being reported and verified.But when he thought that the whistleblower was Jiang Xin, and there was a dispute over his previous resignation, Hui Xiaoyou inevitably felt a knot in his heart.

Reporting others for revenge, the purpose is no longer pure.

Even if it turns out that the other party is really wrong, is this behavior of oneself correct?

No matter how he thought about it, he felt uneasy.

And Jiang Xin suddenly said again at this moment: "Brother, kindness is a good thing, but being too kind will make your life very tiring."

Hui Xiaoyou: "...Are you saying that I am too kind?"

Jiang Xin didn't answer him directly, but said: "I hope you can live a little easier. I don't want you to go through things like your father's before."

"This is completely different!" Hui Yue stood up from Jiang Xin's lap.

"Brother," Jiang Xin grabbed his wrist, her eyes were serious, "Are you going to be angry with me for something I didn't do wrong?"

"Are you still reasonable??" Hui Yue couldn't help raising his voice for a while, although he quickly suppressed it, Jiang Xin's expression still froze for a moment.

Hui Xiao didn't speak for a while, but Jiang Xin also stood up and looked directly at him, and said in a firm tone: "Brother, maybe you don't like what I do, but I do have my reasons. I can't help it." Convince you, but I will not admit my mistake to you."

Hui Xiaoyou: "...Jiang Xin, do you still remember how you reacted when I kept something from you? You were not happy, so now you think I will be happy if you keep it from me now?!"

Jiang Xin's eyes were slightly shaken when she heard his words, and she waited for a few seconds before saying, "I kept it from you because I knew you would definitely not agree to me doing this."

"So you did it resolutely and knowingly that I would not agree? You still say you are right, so is it my fault? I deserve to be hidden because I am too kind , Should you find anger for yourself after you find out?!" Just as Hui Xiaoyou finished saying these few sentences, he suddenly felt his stomach twitch violently.

He subconsciously bit his lips tightly, and firmly grasped the edge of the table with his hands. He only felt that his eyes were bright and dark, and he didn't even notice that his body was shaking slightly.

"Senior brother...Senior brother?!" Jiang Xin didn't expect him to turn pale suddenly, hugged him quickly, helped him to sit on the sofa, and then held his hand and asked nervously, "How are you, senior brother? Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to the hospital now??"

Hui Xiao leaned on the armrest feeling exhausted, shook his head very lightly, and didn't make another sound for a long while.

And Jiang Xin's face was already full of self-blame.

He half squatted beside Hui Xiaoyou, waited for quite a while before whispering: "Senior brother, I'm sorry."

"...I'm just sorry?" Hui Yue asked while still lying on his stomach.

Jiang Xin hummed, and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so tough."

"..."

Hui Xiaoyou lay on the ground for a few more minutes, and finally felt better, so he sat up, looked at Jiang Xin with tired eyes and said, "Go to work, don't you still want to watch the stock market?"

Jiang Xin nodded after two seconds, "What about you?"

"I'll watch it too." Hui Yue pointed at his laptop.

"...Okay." Jiang Xin stood up, took another cup of hot water and put it in his hand, then quietly returned to her chair and sat down.

The computer screen completely blocked his face, which also prevented him and Hui Yue from seeing each other's expressions.

But if you can't see it, you still have to guess.

Guess if he is the same as himself, he is also a little sad.
