no longer ordinary friends

During Zhou Bingcheng's break this time, as usual, he sent a message to Jiang Li, succinctly: "Appointment?"

But she hasn't replied to his message, she should be busy with work.

Jiang Li is the most hard-working person he has ever seen. After the two were lingering before, he wanted to hug her to sleep, but she would immediately get up to work because of a sudden thought of a legal opinion revision. There will still be non-stop news at four or five o'clock. Usually, it is one or two o'clock in the morning when she leaves the law firm or the project site.

He was worried about her body, but he didn't know how to persuade her, because she had a very clear understanding of her career plan.

She said: "This is the job I chose. Low-level lawyers can only choose to sacrifice their own time in exchange for rapid growth in their career path. It's good to get through it. There is only this high-level job with a starting salary of [-] yuan after graduation." , can give me the confidence to stay in Beicheng."

If he wanted to say something else, she would smile coldly and say, "Captain Zhou, thank you for your concern, but this is not what we should talk about. I am different from you. I have no way out. Capital involvement is the norm." , I don’t want to be eliminated, so I can only work under high pressure.”

He understood what she meant. Almost everyone in this kind of capital firm has a shining academic record, first-class learning ability and foreign language proficiency. What she lacks, the only thing she can do is to work hard.

Zhou Bingcheng felt distressed seeing them, both of them are hotel experts and trapeze experts, flying is his job, and staying in a hotel is his rest time.

But for lawyers like Jiang Li, as long as they have a computer, they can work anywhere. They have no time to enjoy the business class, first class and five-star hotels booked by the law firm. Desks and chairs are the most comfortable for working.

Sometimes when Jiang Li is in a good mood, he will lie on him and tell him about the confusion of women in the workplace.

For example, her physical fitness gradually failed to keep up with the high-pressure work. For example, the client’s overtrust made her feel a lot of psychological pressure. For example, her partner was nearly forty and wanted to have a child, but was too tired to have a miscarriage. For example, a senior female lawyer collapsed and resigned. , Go back to third-tier cities to do low-quality business, but get a high-quality life.

He really wanted to give her the bank card so that she wouldn't be so tired, but he was also worried that she would refuse him because he had too little money.

She will be resurrected with full blood after sleeping, and become the mature and cold lawyer Jiang again. Before leaving the hotel, she half-bends and puts on her high-heeled shoes at the entrance. sexy.

Then he turned his head and said slowly and indifferently to him: "See you next time, Captain Zhou."

Work-oriented lawyer Jiang will never allow men to hinder her from making money.

Therefore, tonight Zhou Bingcheng also took it for granted that Attorney Jiang was too busy with work to reply to his messages, so he simply went downstairs to Jiang Li's apartment and waited for her.

He thought wildly, once she was working overtime in the hotel, he couldn't wait and asked her what she was doing, and she said in a yellow accent: "doing dirty work, but what I want to do is dirty talk."

He couldn't stand the excitement at all, and it was the first time he knew that she liked rough sex.

He used to be very gentle to her, because he felt sorry for her and was abused by her mother with all kinds of obscene words.

She didn't admit it afterwards, only that the insula area of ​​her brain was too excited to be so crazy.

But Zhou Bingcheng never thought that he would see her get off another man's car. After the two said goodbye, that man stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

The man's other hand caressed her lips.

Zhou Bingcheng's hearing is very good, and he heard a man ask: "How long have you been in love?"

Jiang Li didn't speak.

"Li Li, I miss you very much." He smiled, "Because of a job change, I couldn't stay in Beicheng. Now I am the same as I was back then. As long as you are willing to follow me, the conditions are up to you. I can give you anything. What you want, jobs, projects, money, houses and marriages."

Before his kiss was about to fall, Jiang Li pushed him away.

After the man left, Jiang Li raised his eyes and suddenly saw Zhou Bingcheng.

Zhou Bingcheng really wanted to see different expressions on Jiang Li's face, such as guilt, regret, and shock, but there were none. She just frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Bingcheng had a cold face and sharp eyes, jealousy was about to erode his rationality: "Who is he? Jiang Li, do you need money that much?"

As soon as this sentence came out, he regretted it.

But it was too late. Lawyer Jiang was more rational and cruel than him. There was no expression on her face: "Yeah, I am short of money and crazy. Don't you know? Otherwise, why would you give me a gift every time you are satisfied? A big gift from me?"

"Who is he?" he asked.

"First love."

"He is several years older than you..."

She smiled sarcastically and interrupted him: "Aren't you too? My preference is to like old men. Without you, there will be others."

She seemed to be very tired, looked at the time, and said lightly: "If you came to quarrel, the relationship between us would not be so good, if you came to do it..."

He can't ask, isn't he a little special?

He suppressed his anger, turned around and left, but her hoarse voice came from behind: "Zhou Bingcheng, let's end it."

"Because of that man?"

She didn't answer.

"You can't forget that he is your first love, or is it because he can give you better conditions..."

She only said: "You are Chengcheng's elder brother, we get together so well, and I will be Chengcheng's good friend in the future." She paused, her voice seemed desolate and cold in the autumn night in Beicheng, "It took me a long time to get together Leave my home and never go back."

Zhou Bingcheng didn't know how he got back to the company's dormitory. His mind was blank, like a walking corpse. He drank a lot of wine by himself. He wanted to call her, but hung up abruptly. He was indeed not qualified. They always said Unclear relationship, she said a long time ago that she would not marry him, and would not establish a relationship with him.

He had a headache and a sore throat, so he could only call Jiang Xianghuai: "She wants to go up, shouldn't I stop her?"

Jiang Xianghuai's voice was far away: "If that's what she wants."

"Is first love unforgettable?"

Jiang Xianghuai: "Do you still remember your first love?"

Zhou Bingcheng's first love was from the university next door. After a short chat, he went abroad to learn to fly. The two of them get together less often and leave more. Regarding each other's affairs, when they were in different places, he hardly took the initiative. As a result, he was not very sad when he was dumped.

He replied honestly: "I remember, but I don't feel anything."

"Then who is your unforgettable ex?" Jiang Xianghuai sat down on the sofa by the window, quietly admiring the night view of Nanri from here, he saw the beach, he can take Chengcheng to play next time.

Zhou Bingcheng and his other girlfriends broke up peacefully after getting along for a while, and there was nothing memorable about it.

Jiang Xianghuai persuaded him: "Then tell yourself, there is nothing memorable this time, and you should treat it as a peaceful breakup."

"Different."

He and Jiang Li have been on and off for several years. She is different. When they are separated, he will miss her. The picture of being with her is still very clear even after several years. He wants to contact her when he has time. To talk to her, to hear her voice, even if she would never admit to their relationship.

When other girls propose to him, he will also refuse. He is not single and has a lawyer girlfriend.

Jiang Xianghuai: "If you break up, it's good to break up... That girl is Chengcheng's good friend, don't make it difficult for Chengcheng to be a man."

Zhou Bingcheng's muddled mind suddenly came to a realization: "Are you my brother, or Zhou Zhicheng's brother? I'm so sad to be dumped. Are you still worried about the insignificant Zhou Zhicheng?"

He hiccupped: "Speaking of it, you two are really strange. You care more about her than your own sister. She came back from Beicheng and was very sad to be broken up. Is his ex-boyfriend from your law firm? "

"It just so happens that I'm in a bad mood right now. I'm on vacation tomorrow. Do you know who it is? I'll beat him up to vent my anger."

Jiang Xianghuai didn't know how to tell Zhou Bingcheng that the person was himself.

Zhou Zhicheng also received a call from Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was very calm: "My mother got Qiu He's contact information, because I didn't answer her calls for a while, and I stopped sending her money. Did Qiu He go back to the county to see his child a while ago? After he came back to Beicheng , In the past two days, I specially helped my mother to send me a message, teaching me to be a filial daughter, I really wanted to kill him and make him troublesome, many colleagues heard it at the time."

Qiu He was the No. [-] scholar in the class who asked Zhou Zhicheng for divorce. When he was in high school, he even chased after Jiang Li, but Jiang Li didn't give him a second look.

"After he divorced at the beginning of the year, he started looking for me again, and he doesn't know what kind of ghost he is when he makes some money." Jiang Li said this, a little tired, "He probably thinks that he is the only one who is willing to sacrifice 100 million betrothal gifts Marry me, and said that even though he is married twice, he is willing to spend so much money."

Zhou Zhicheng smiled: "My brother is also willing."

The other end was silent for a while: "Chengcheng, I broke up with your brother." She continued, "I can't get involved with any man in the county, otherwise I will never get rid of my mother, she will always use me , go to other people to ask for money, Qiu He said in front of my colleagues yesterday that he gave money to my mother, I really don’t know where he got the face to claim credit, what a fool.”

Of course Zhou Zhicheng stood up to Jiang Li: "Then don't Zhou Bingcheng, don't be sad, you've enjoyed it anyway."

Jiang Li smiled lightly: "Not sad." She said, but the ending gradually faded away, took a deep breath, and held back her tears, "I don't have time to be sad, I want to work and make money, There will be a morning meeting at [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, and I will be on duty at the project site at [-]:[-] to answer questions. After lunch, I will go on a business trip to the next city to visit and verify, and there are two materials written by trainee lawyers that will be reviewed tomorrow night."

The voice was a little choked up.

She said: "Chengcheng, why am I so sad? Why can't I live a bad life?"

Zhou Zhicheng didn't speak, and she cried quietly with her. After the call was over, she sent Qiu He a WeChat message, scolding him: "Stupid."

Qiu He, a big financial man who thinks he is a master but is still working hard at this point, quickly replied: "Lawyer Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Zhicheng cursed again with a blank face: "Silly bird, silly fork."

Then, directly block him.

Qiu He can also be regarded as her former client. Normally, she can't scold clients, and she won't blackmail clients, but this person really deserves to be scolded.

The next day was Sunday, and Zhou Zhicheng was sleeping soundly when she was lazy. He Kailun's phone call woke her up. He was shocked and said, "Chengcheng, why are you swearing? Qiu He said that if I don't deal with you, he will Go to the Lawyers Association and report you."

Zhou Zhicheng turned over: "Go."

Worker Qiu was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night, so he started complaining to her early in the morning.

Zhou Zhicheng smiled, got up refreshed and had breakfast.

Cai Mei boiled the paste on the side of the pot, fried fried dough sticks and triangular cakes early in the morning, marinated a pot of chicken feet and tea eggs, because Zhao Yanjia said last time that she likes to eat glutinous rice balls made by grandma, and she specially made them for him. He also said that he wanted to eat Nanri's special salty rice dumplings. He heard that the bread was filled with seafood ingredients. If it wasn't for the lack of time in the morning, Cai Mei could not wait to make rice dumplings for him right away.

Jiang Xianghuai felt a sense of crisis as he watched Zhao Yanjia flourish.

Zhao Yanjia over there still doesn't know anything, and his mouth is so sweet: "Grandma, the first time I ate your cooking, I knew that you cook better than Grandpa Zhou."

Cai Mei pretended to be modest: "How come? Your grandfather Zhou used to be a cook."

"You are the taste of love, without a touch of craftsmanship."

"Then Grandma will make it for you next time. Do you want to eat Buddha Jumping Over the Wall? Grandma also has a special skill, noodle paste, so delicious that you swallowed your tongue."

"Eat, I can also cook. Next Sunday, I'll get up early and come over to make breakfast for you." Zhao Yanjia smiled, "Western breakfast, let's have a Western style!"

Cai Mei was really touched when she heard that, none of her granddaughters and grandsons said they would cook her breakfast.

Jiang Xianghuai looked at it with complicated emotions, he hesitated for a long time, and then walked over: "Grandma, I will cook for you too."

Zhou Guohua came over with a fly swatter and slapped him on the shoulder: "Stay away from my old woman."
