no longer ordinary friends

After Jiang Xianghuai posted the showy circle of friends last night, three dots appeared on the icon of his circle of friends, and the number of likes and comments did not show the specific number because there were too many likes and comments.

When he first opened WeChat, there were so many messages in the chat box that it crashed immediately.

Suddenly receiving so many messages again, he was a little uncomfortable. He thought he was still working in Mindy, with endless work information and emails to deal with, so he could only treat himself as a precision instrument that kept running.

Zhou Zhicheng's appearance in high school has not changed from now, but anyone who knows her knows that Jiang Xianghuai is the one who sent her.

Naturally, Jiang Xianghuai's circle of friends only had blessings.

"Is this Zhou Zhicheng? Brother Jiang is happy for a long time."

"It's such a good match, remember to give us wedding candy when we get married."

"I've known my girlfriend since high school. It's so sweet. Is my girlfriend also a lawyer?"

Those who are close to him can't help but tease: "Is this why you should find a wife as soon as possible? Didn't you say that you are just a good friend's sister?"

"I asked you to go to the countryside to record a show. Are you in a relationship? Xia Par just said in the last meeting that he was disappointed with you and didn't work hard!"

"Congratulations to you for years of hard work, and finally embraced the beauty."

Xia Mingning left a message and said: "Finally, I see you showing your affection in public. Say hello to Chengcheng for me."

Zhao Yanjia commented meanly: "Chengcheng Huaihuai, hello~ I'm Jiajia."

Jiang Xianghuai looked at the blessings in the comment area, with a slight smile on his face, as if he had experienced the pleasure of showing affection, especially when he saw what they praised Chengcheng, he couldn't help but feel faintly proud. He is a man who wants everyone to see him A treasure hunter with treasure.

He imitated Xia Mingning's usual reply, and typed: "Unified reply: Thank you everyone, she is my junior sister, an excellent female lawyer."

There is a strong surfing atmosphere of outdated old people.

Zhou Zhicheng and Jiang Xianghuai's circles of friends overlapped. She liked Jiang Xianghuai's circle of friends, which was regarded as a confession of love. Some people chatted privately to bless her, and some students chatted hotly in the class group, or wished, or gossip.

"Beautiful girl Chengcheng, handsome brother Jiang, I don't know who to envy for a while."

"It's still Chengcheng who is the best. Senior Brother Jiang has only been in the countryside for a long time, and she has taken care of him again."

"Again? Have you done it before? Didn't Mei An say that Zhou Zhicheng's confession was rejected? Brother Jiang doesn't like her."

"My intuition...Senior brother Jiang used to come to see her often, and even went to dinner and movies with her...Is it different from her boyfriend? Or do you really believe in such close brothers and sisters who are not related by blood?"

Jiang Li: "You can also believe Xu Mei'an's words. She even wrote a love story between her and Brother Jiang for the sake of character design, but was slapped in the face by Brother Jiang himself. In fact, Brother Jiang has been secretly in love with Chengcheng for many years. Otherwise, who would do it for good brothers and sisters? For her high school graduation photo, she asked for leave from the law firm and took a group photo after flying for a few hours? Chengcheng’s own brother couldn’t even do it.”

Xu Mei'an is a person who cares about face, especially on the Internet. The halo of a highly educated investment bank beauty has attracted many fans to her.

She calmly appeared in the group: "Jiang Li, you seem to have misremembered, the Berkeley boy I mentioned was not Brother Jiang, but my current boyfriend, who is also from Berkeley, and later studied at Yale Business School , now it’s a hedge fund.”

"Oh, by the way, I still have to bless Chengcheng. Congratulations to her for finally chasing the male god. Fortunately, she has persisted in her secret love for many years."

As she spoke, she posted a photo of her and her current boyfriend. The man looked like a typical Asian-American, with an elite temperament of a financial man.

Xu Mei'an asked again: "Then Chengcheng, are you going back to Beicheng? Did Senior Brother Jiang arrange for you to enter Mingdi? I remember that you used to hate going through the back door the most, but now and then, you went back to your hometown and spent five years on yourself, wasting it." In five years, I have been unable to keep up with the capital market. If you submit your resume by yourself, if you are not a freshman, do not have enough education, and cannot show your resume, the HR of major firms will not even look at you... Fortunately, you have If you have a golden thigh, your boyfriend is a partner, so it's no problem for you to get a job."

Some students also said: "Definitely go back to Beicheng. Brother Jiang's career and family are all here. He has a house and a car and a local registered permanent residence. We stay here and work hard, isn't it just to settle down in Beicheng?"

"Yeah, working hard is also for the next generation to have a slightly higher starting point."

This is human nature, go bravely to a high place, like Jiang Li, put on her armor, and fight for a place in the capital market.

Zhou Zhicheng's situation is a bit special. She knows that she is not that great. Her original intention was to love her family and be with her grandpa and grandma. But later, she liked the feeling of staying in the county to work. She worked on very small cases. , Helping ordinary people, but gaining a lot of satisfaction.

She can remember most of the cases she has done, the vivid ordinary people in each case, the weeping mother in the marriage and family case, the desperate rural elderly, the juvenile delinquent who lacked care and went on the wrong path, she likes dealing with them and is willing to deal with them. Listen to their stories and sympathize with their pain. Cold legal provisions can never directly help the victimized parties, and county litigators must not only deal with superior laws.

For her, the existence of lawyers is to extract the tenderness of the law.

Many times, Zhou Zhicheng doesn't like people who claim to be legal elites. They often separate themselves from ordinary people because they are proficient in law, have superior academic qualifications and rigorous legal logic, and always think that ordinary people are victims of cases. When people show sympathy, lawyers should appear as cold-blooded and ruthless legal machines, and put forward views that are completely different from ordinary people, who think they are rational but lose their humanity. In order to maintain an elite and arrogant posture, they forget their It is a specific person, the law is a tool, but the person who uses the law is not.

Zhou Zhicheng wanted to know that if she publicly judged a social case from the perspective of sympathy and humanity, the first people to attack her would be legal professionals, and they would find out all kinds of flaws in her to attack.

"Is this about law, or about philosophy? Shame on you."

"Oh, the little lawyer in the county seat knows everything."

"Law is a mess, and I don't deserve to be a legal person at all. If lawyers are crazy and irrational like ordinary people, why do we need lawyers? Why read so many law books? She is a person who only sells miserably and attracts attention. Rubbish little lawyer."

In her sophomore year, at the end of the general theory of criminal law course, Teacher Luo gave her a sentence on the title page of her textbook: the light of the rule of law.

No matter how much light.

She emits her small but never-extinguishing light in Nanri County.

Xu Mei'an is still showing off her superior life in the group. She works in five-star hotels on business trips and handles hundreds of millions of funds. She has seen the lives of many high-class people. She herself will achieve financial freedom in a few years. Class-crossing, she often shares her work experience on Weibo, attracting countless small fans to regard her as an idol.

Zhou Zhicheng smiled and replied: "I won't go to Beicheng to work, and I will still be a lawyer in my hometown in the future."

The group was silent for a second.

"Are you stupid? Is it worthwhile to stay in your hometown? Don't you think it's a pity that you have such good grades?" Xu Mei'an was the most emotional, "Zhou Zhicheng, have you lost all ambition by your hometown? Bring out your previous hard work!"

Xu Mei'an sent two consecutive posts: "Senior brother Jiang is still unwilling to help you? Is he this kind of person? Why don't you let me introduce you to someone who can let you stay in a big city with dignity."

"You are wasting your beauty, education and ability. You are only 27 years old. If you go out to be gilded and come back, you can still enter the university."

Jiang Li sent a series of question marks: "Are you okay, Xu Mei'an, who told you to start licking our Chengcheng, Chengcheng is mine."

Xu Mei'an: "Who licked it? I'm scolding her."

Zhou Zhicheng: "Although you make me very happy, I really only want to be an ordinary county lawyer."

What she didn't expect was that Xu Mei'an chatted with her in private.

The two of them haven't chatted for many years. For a while, Xu Mei'an closed her circle of friends with Jiang Li. During that time, Xu Mei'an was at a low point in her life. She was sensitive and inferior, and often fantasized that others looked down on her.

Xu Mei'an: "Zhou Zhicheng, do you really want to stay in your [-]th-line village for the rest of your life? You climbed up to Jiang Xianghuai, and he has plenty of money. If you are worried about your grandparents, why don't you just take them with you?" ? Why bother to move yourself and stay in a small place to work.”

She added: "If you don't want to ask Jiang Xianghuai, I also know some partners. Let's see if I can introduce you."

Zhou Zhicheng didn't reply to her again.

She and Xu Mei'an couldn't be friends, not because of men, but because their values ​​were always inconsistent. Not only were their life standards different, but she also liked to use her own standards to belittle others. If Jiang Xianghuai had to be involved, she could only say, Xu Mei'an Use the so-called Brother Jiang as a tool that can scare her and defeat her.

Zhou Zhicheng silently looked at the tool man.

Jiang Xianghuai noticed her gaze, put down the complaint in his hand, met her eyes, walked up to her, and squatted down: "What's wrong?"

She looked at his short black hair blown by the wind, and stared at her with clear and gentle eyes.

Men are seductive.

She sighed: "Old vixen."

Jiang Xianghuai had a problem with the word "old" and frowned slightly.

Zhou Zhicheng's tone was sincere: "You are 34 years old, right?"

She showed him the chat records between her and Zhao Yanjia.

Zhao Yanjia shared a study in the American Journal of Nature, saying that people will grow old in an instant at the age of 34 or 60. He gloated: "My brother hugged me in the morning, and I can already see his wrinkles."

Jiang Xianghuai rolled up his sleeves silently, and went out to look for Zhao Yanjia, but he didn't see him for a long time. Normally, he should be working on filing a case and property collection materials now.

Zhao Yanjia regretted it now, regretted it very much, why on earth could he not think about answering his aunt's call.

He turned on the speaker and kept the phone away from his ear.

"Zhao Yanjia, you asked Jiang Xianghuai to answer the phone. What does the woman in his circle of friends mean? He dare not answer my call, does he feel that his wings are stiff? Is he so busy in the country? He is crazy and wants to go to the country. You also went to the countryside? What kind of poor place did you go to!"

Zhao Yanjia whispered: "Not poor."

His aunt's voice was sharp: "Will you go to the countryside to bring any help to your career? Your brother was bewitched by that woman, what about you? You are going to raise funds to go public in the future. Tell me, you have spent so many days What did you do in the country?"

"Riding a pig," he replied.

"what?"

He was serious: "Auntie, remember to watch the show in the future, and you will be able to see me and my brother riding a pig."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"No nonsense, riding a pig is very comfortable, just as exciting as riding a horse. However, riding a pig is very difficult to master the balance. Auntie, do you know my best record, 400 meters?"

He emphasized: "I rode a crazy boar for more than 400 meters. The village chief said that I broke the best record in their village for decades. Auntie, have you heard of Molizhi Tianzushi? The Taoist god of war, His mount is a pig, and I am the new generation of God of War riding a pig in Nanri County..."

"Are you sick?" His aunt hung up the phone angrily.

Zhao Yanjia: "..."

Who is sick.

Use magic to defeat magic.
