Chapter 4 Devil Special Training 3564
On the floor where the team is located, as soon as they walked to the work area where the team was located, everyone immediately gathered around and asked about the situation.
The age structure of the team led by Fan Xiaoxue is very young, and most of the members are in their early 20s. Fan Xiaoxue, who is a few years older, never puts on leadership airs, so the employees below have no scruples about talking to her.
Du Wei, who was the most tactful, pushed a computer chair in front of Fan Xiaoxue: "Sister Fan, sit down and rest your feet first, and tell everyone about the current situation and what the higher-ups plan to do?"
The short Gao Qiqi wrung her fingers and asked timidly: "Sister Fan, will the company hold me accountable for this?" Gao Qiqi read the novel suspected of plagiarism on the Internet and recommended it to the team. After knowing what had happened, she was always in a state of anxiety, and couldn't sleep well for several days.
Fan Xiaoxue squeezed out a smile, and comforted her: "Qiqi, don't worry too much. You can't blame you for this. The company purchased the copyright at the beginning. It was reviewed and approved by the company. Besides, there are a few similar sentences in this million-word novel. It’s also hard to tell whether it’s plagiarism or everyone is playing the same stalk.”
"It's just..."
"...We are not engaged in paper screening."
Looking at these young faces around her, Fan Xiaoxue stabilized her mind and silently told herself that she is the backbone of the team, and the more critical the time is, the more calm she must be.
Fan Xiaoxue stood up, clapped her hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, this animation has condensed the hard work of our team for nearly a year. I know that everyone has worked hard over the past few months for the animation to go online as scheduled. I, like everyone, have not seen it for a long time." I was able to get off work on time and have a good rest. Needless to say, the quality of this animation is one of the best in the current Guochuang. In order to let everyone's hard work not go to waste and ensure the normal broadcast of the animation, some changes may be made in the later stage .I'm afraid it will be difficult for everyone in the next period of time."
"Is there a big change?" Cao Dong, the original artist, asked worriedly.
Fan Xiaoxue: "We still need to listen to the lawyer's opinion. Mr. Wang means not to change it as much as possible. We will wait for the notification on the follow-up arrangement. Just do whatever you need to do now!"
The sky was falling, and Fan Xiaoxue had more things to deal with than the low-level employees.
She gritted her teeth and made a phone call to Han Xiaoxiao, threatening to breach the contract and pay huge compensation, successfully bluffing the other party into agreeing to fly to Yuzhou the next day.
Then he ran to find Huang Jie in a ding ding dong dong, urging him to finalize the cooperation lawyer as soon as possible.
Don't say that the workplace is a man's world, sometimes if a woman explodes, it really doesn't matter to a man.
In just one and a half days, Fan Xiaoxue used both soft and hard tactics to get the author of the novel, the team of outside lawyers, the animation production team and other relevant personnel to gather in Qiyue.
Han Xiaoxiao, who caused the mess, was a somewhat decadent and lazy girl, with a plain face, short natural curly hair that looked fluffy and messy, drooping eyelids and lack of energy, her whole body exuded a detached aura of Buddhist youth.
What Fan Xiaoxue didn't expect was that the people who came to the law firm were also old acquaintances.
"I haven't seen Senior Gao for a long time. Xincheng is really sincere. He even sent a lawyer to take our small case."
Gao Cheng chatted together: "Long time no see Fan Xuemei, I know you are eloquent, so don't make fun of me."
Huang Jie next to him looked blank: "Manager Fan and Lawyer Gao know each other?"
Fan Xiaoxue explained casually: "We used to be alumni of the University of Political Science and Law. Let's go, let's go in and chat slowly in the meeting room."
----
By the time Fan Xiaoxue and his group came up with a preliminary plan, it was already dark.
Du Wei, a big guy who was not hungry, took advantage of the time when he was going to the toilet, quietly ran to the tea room and stuffed several pieces of meat floss to fill his stomach. Fan Xiaoxue saw it.
Fan Xiaoxue glanced at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, and said with a sigh: "Everyone has worked hard today, and I will be the host to invite everyone to have a light meal tonight."
As soon as Du Wei heard about eating, he immediately regained his energy: "Where is Miss Fan going to eat? I'll arrange a car."
"Is there anything Miss Han wants to eat?" Although Han Xiaoxiao caused so much trouble for everyone, but the other party flew a long distance for 3 hours before arriving in Yuzhou, and actively cooperated with Qiyue's work, Fan Xiaoxue Can't be too negligent.
"It's up to you. I seldom come to Yuzhou, and I don't know what to eat."
Fan Xiaoxue turned around and asked Gao Cheng who was packing up the materials: "Senior, do you have anything you want to eat?"
Gao Cheng raised his head and said to Fan Xiaoxue with a smile, "You are in charge of your territory, as long as you hurry up, I'm full of empty plans now."
It is close to the company, the food is served quickly, it has the characteristics of Yuzhou, and it is suitable for winter. Finally, the group went to a hot pot restaurant near Qiyue.
During the chat, Huang Jie was very surprised that Fan Xiaoxue was a student of the Law School of University of Political Science and Law.
"Manager Fan, you're hiding too much."
Fan Xiaoxue waved her hand and said, "What are you hiding? You're thinking too much. My family forced me to choose a major. I'm not very interested in it. I'm basically a soy saucer in college. I didn't learn much. Show off in front of Senior Cheng."
☆, in full bloom
During the college entrance examination season seven years ago, Fan Xiaoxue had a big fight with her family about filling in the application form.In the end, Fan Xiaoxue gave up her favorite animation design major, and her family no longer required her to study business administration, and instead applied for the economic law major of the University of Political Science and Law.
From the first day of enrollment in the fall, Fan Xiaoxue had no interest in her professional courses.At first, she would go to the classroom to sign in. After finding out the temper of the teachers in each subject, she would not go to those classes that were not called by name.
On the other hand, Fan Xiaoxue actively participates in various club activities to pass the time, such as animation club, debating club, photography club...everyone who is interested is left behind.
As for why he joined a symphony orchestra that he didn't have much interest in, it was because——
The second day after military training ends, 6:00 in the morning.
"Xiaoxue is going to get up soon, and it will be too late if I don't get up again." Roommate Fang Fang urged, patting the double-layer iron frame bed heavily.
"Hmm... what time is it?" Fan Xiaoxue asked in a daze with eyes narrowed.
"It's five past six!"
"It's only six o'clock, and I don't need military training today, let me lie down for a while, anyway, classes don't start until 08:30, so I don't have to eat breakfast..." After finishing speaking, Fan Xiaoxue pulled the quilt to cover half of her face.
Fang Fang said anxiously, "Oh sister, the military training is over, but we have to do morning exercises at 06:30. If you don't get up again, I won't care about you."
……
"Ah——" Fan Xiaoxue yelled and immediately sat up, lifted the quilt, climbed out of bed along the ladder, put on her slippers and rushed to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and washing her face as quickly as possible.
I glanced at the phone on the table again. I didn't have time. I simply put on a ponytail without putting on makeup. After changing clothes, I took Fang Fang and trotted all the way to the playground, and finally clocked in at the last minute.
"Oh my god, I really... really killed my aunt." Fan Xiaoxue gasped.
Fang Fang also yawned and said weakly: "This is the first time to clock in this semester, what should I do if the weather gets cold and I don't want to get up after a while?"
Fan Xiaoxue complained: "I don't know who is so wicked, the prescribed morning exercise card system, do you still have to live! Is there any way not to clock in?"
"Yes!" A clear voice sounded from behind.
Fan Xiaoxue turned around and saw that the boy behind him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't name him, as if he was from her class.
"Hello! Handsome guy, did you just say that there is no way to punch in?"
"As long as you are members of the school's four major clubs, you don't need to take the morning exercise card."
"Four major clubs?" Fan Xiaoxue heard this word for the first time. In recent days, there are clubs recruiting new students everywhere in the school, and she herself has applied for a few interested ones, so she doesn't know what the four major clubs are.
The boy pointed to the small square opposite the playground and said, "I passed by the square yesterday, and overheard a senior from some band introducing it to me. You can go and see."
"That's right, thank you."
For the sake of her laziness, at noon that day, Fan Xiaoxue rushed to the small square to inquire about the situation without even eating.
She asked several seniors and sisters to find out that the Chinese Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, Rhythmic Gymnastics Team, and Chorus are the four major clubs at the school level. As long as members participate in daily training, they don't need to register for morning exercises.
Of course, there are thresholds for these four major clubs. Take the two major orchestras as examples. They are not zero-basic interest classes. You must know the same musical instrument and reach a certain level before you can apply to join.
Fan Xiaoxue learned violin since she was a child, but high school was neglected for three years, her overall level was not bad among amateurs, and she passed the entrance examination easily.
After joining the symphony orchestra, Fan Xiaoxue discovered that the orchestra with more than 60 members is mainly composed of freshmen, freshmen and sophomores, and many of them quit the troupe when they reached their junior year.In addition to the undergraduates, there are seven or eight graduate students in the orchestra.
Fan Xiaoxue joined the symphony orchestra entirely to avoid morning exercises. Apart from rehearsals before performances, she only spends one or two hours a week to practice on weekdays to keep her hands in shape.
University life went by very quickly, and Fan Xiaoxue was promoted to sophomore in a blink of an eye, becoming what freshmen called "Senior Sister Fan".
One night, Fan Xiaoxue came out of the library after her self-study, planning to go to the regiment to take the violin for maintenance.
Roommate Fang Fang unscrewed the iron lock on the rear wheel of the bicycle and asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Fan Xiaoxue said: "No, you should go back to the dormitory and wash up first. Otherwise, it will be like last night. The lights have been turned off and you haven't washed your face and brushed your teeth. In the end, I need to use a flashlight to illuminate you."
"Okay, the road over there to the symphony orchestra is not good, so be careful when riding at night." After speaking, Fang Fang pedaled away on her bicycle.
The training venue of the Symphony Orchestra is in the back building of the Performing Arts Hall of the University of Political Science and Law.
Fan Xiaoxue parked her bicycle at the side entrance of the performing arts hall, and when she was about to lock the bicycle, she heard a faint quarrel in the nearby woods.
A high-pitched female voice came into Fan Xiaoxue's ears: "I said it's just ordinary friends for a meal... They promised to help me stay in school..."
Immediately afterwards, another man was speaking, his voice was slightly low, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.
On the university campus, all kinds of love, hate, and hatred are staged every day, and sometimes the level of gossip far exceeds that of popular romance dramas on TV.
Fan Xiaoxue wasn't in the mood to listen to gossip right now, she stepped lightly and entered the performing arts hall through the side door.
There are more than a dozen classrooms on the second floor of the performing arts hall, half of which belong to the folk orchestra and half to the symphony orchestra. Due to the poor sound insulation of the classrooms, the folk orchestra trains on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while the symphony orchestra trains on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Today happened to be Wednesday, and I could still hear the sound of sawing wood as I walked in the corridor, and I didn't know which rookie was playing the erhu.
Fan Xiaoxue walked straight to the door of the warehouse where the musical instruments were stored, took the key to open the door, took out her violin case from the tin cabinet by the light of the mobile phone and carried it on her shoulder, turned around and was about to go back to the dormitory.
"what--!"
When Fan Xiaoxue turned her head, there was a vague figure in front of the warehouse door. She instinctively took the flashlight of her mobile phone and shone it, trying to see who it was.As a result, under the light of the mobile phone, a pale face appeared in front of her eyes, like a dead person crawling out of a ghost movie, which made her scream in horror.
With a "snap", the light in the warehouse was turned on, and Fan Xiaoxue could see who was coming.
"What is the school girl doing in the regiment at such a late hour?"
Fan Xiaoxue patted her chest, took several deep breaths, and said, "It turned out to be Senior Gao Cheng, who scared me to death."
Gao Cheng smiled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to scare you. I just passed by and saw a light in the warehouse, so I came up to have a look."
Fan Xiaoxue weighed the piano case on her shoulder and said, "The National Day Art Performance is coming up soon, I plan to take the piano back for maintenance."
After she finished speaking, she thought to herself that the senior probably misunderstood that there was a thief, so she went upstairs to check, so she explained: "I took the piano and left, so I didn't bother to look for the light switch. It's getting late and I'll go back to the dormitory first. "
"The performing arts hall is too remote. It's best not to walk around here alone at night, it's not safe!" Gao Cheng reminded.
"Okay, thank you senior. Then I'll go first, bye!" Fan Xiaoxue just treated her casually as a senior, and didn't take the other party's reminder to heart.
At that time, Fan Xiaoxue and Gao Cheng could only be considered familiar.For one thing, the graduate school and the undergraduate campus are far apart, and there are not many club activities.Secondly, college is still a world of "looking at the face". Gao Cheng is not tall, with a round face and a slightly fat body. He has nothing to do with the most popular small v-face and long-legged Oppa.Therefore, the sense of presence among undergraduate students is not high.
It was only later that Fan Xiaoxue found out that Gao Cheng was actually quite famous in the law school (she skipped too many classes so I don’t know), her grades ranked first every year, and she won scholarships. ", and has published several articles in authoritative legal journals.
----
Every Friday, the symphony orchestra will arrange different instrument groups to be responsible for cleaning the venue.Fan Xiaoxue's violin group has three men and six women, a total of nine members.
This is a typical configuration where a woman acts as a man and a man acts as a dog.Fan Xiaoxue had to fetch water from the toilet at the end of the corridor with a bucket.
Fan Xiaoxue carried half a bucket of water in both hands and strenuously walked forward, not forgetting to have fun thinking that if she walked back and forth with half a bucket of water in her hands, the piece of cheesecake she just ate should be consumed.
"Let me do it." A hand stretched out from the side and took the bucket in Fan Xiaoxue's hand.
"Thank you—Senior Gao Cheng?" Fan Xiaoxue was slightly taken aback, and blurted out: "Isn't the violin team and the flute team on duty today? Did I remember wrongly?"
"It's true that the violin and flute teams are on duty. I'm just helping others. This is also my job, so you don't have to be polite."
Gao Cheng carried half a bucket of water into the training room in one breath, and then helped the other girls who were mopping the floor take the dirty water to the toilet to empty out.
Wang Juan, who was in charge of mopping the floor, held the mop pole with both hands and said, "Fortunately, Senior Gao Cheng came to help. I just fetched a bucket of water and my hands were blue."
"Don't be so sentimental, the seniors are not here to help us." Another girl named Wen Yi laughed.
Fan Xiaoxue rubbed the rag with clean water and said, "Senior seems to be on duty for a friend."
Wen Yi smiled ambiguously, and added: "To be precise, it is to help my girlfriend on duty."
When Wang Juan heard this, she changed from Lin Daiyu's powerless look just now, and the fire of gossip was burning in her eyes: "Girlfriend? Who is it? Is it also from our violin group?"
Wen Yi played it off mischievously: "Guess?"
"It should be Senior Sister Zhao Ting from the Graduate School." Fan Xiaoxue said with certainty.
Wang Juan was unhappy: "Xiaoxue, you know it too. It's not interesting not to tell me this kind of news!"
Fan Xiaoxue placed the cleaned tables and chairs neatly, looked up and smiled at Wang Juan, and said, "I guessed it too. Since it is on duty for someone else, I am afraid that the master may not be here today. Only senior sister Zhao Ting is absent today."
Wen Yi clasped her fists in both hands, jokingly said: "Admiration, admiration, as expected of a person from the law school, you can use reasoning in this!"
"It's easy to say!" Fan Xiaoxue laughed.
Wang Juan half-believingly said: "No way, Senior Sister Zhao Ting is the number one beauty in the Chinese Department. Senior Gao Cheng is a good person. Every time I see him, I always smile, but there is such a difference in appearance and height. .” As he spoke, he gestured for a short distance with his index finger and thumb.
"Superficial! How can you only look at people's faces? It's true that Senior Sister Zhao Ting is a flower in the Chinese Department, but Senior Gao Cheng is also a great talent in the Law School. She is a man of talent and beauty."
Luo Hao, the only boy who was assigned to clean the training room, finally couldn't bear it and joined the girls' gossip team.
Wen Yi, who is very well informed, shared some old stories with everyone: "Look, every big performance in our troupe has a small show for the two of them. I heard from seniors that they were arranged by the counselor at the freshman welcome party. We only got to know each other when we were performing together, and we often collaborated together later on, and we fell in love with each other after a long time."
Wang Juan still wants to express her opinion——
"Yeah——" Fan Xiaoxue cleared her throat, raised her voice, and said, "That—Senior Gao Cheng has worked hard, just put the bucket by the door."
Seeing this, the others immediately changed the topic.
☆、Hero saves the beauty
The National Day Parade is one of the major events of the University of Political Science and Law every year.Since September, all groups and individuals who have undertaken performance tasks are stepping up their training.
Although Fan Xiaoxue, the soy sauce party, did not sign up to participate in the personal small show, she must participate in the group's big ensemble.
After the team leader announced that the training was over, Fan Xiaoxue glanced at the time, and it was already 10:30 in the evening.
She went to the toilet, and then returned to the training room. Except for Gao Cheng who was still arranging the music scores, and a few team members who were in charge of cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches, the others had already left one after another.Fan Xiaoxue also hurriedly packed her things and went back to the dormitory.
"Oh——" Fan Xiaoxue yawned, and walked alone on the way back to the dormitory, thinking in her heart that the lights would soon be turned off when she returned to the dormitory, and she didn't know if Fang Fang helped her fetch more pots of hot water.
Suddenly, a figure sprang out from the green forest by the roadside, instantly covered Fan Xiaoxue's mouth from behind, and dragged her vigorously into the woods.
With the dim light on the side of the road, Fan Xiaoxue vaguely saw that the person attacking her was a burly man wearing a mask.
"Woo... help..." Fan Xiaoxue desperately struggled and called for help, hoping that someone nearby would come to rescue her, and at the same time kept kicking her attacker backwards.
Seeing this, the gangster still covered Fan Xiaoxue's mouth and nose with one hand, while the other arm strangled her neck and continued to drag her back. During the struggle, the piano case on Fan Xiaoxue's shoulder fell to the side of the road with a bang.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Fan Xiaoxue began to have difficulty breathing, her body gradually lost strength, and she was constantly pulled into a darker grove by the gangsters.
Fan Xiaoxue's heart was filled with despair and fear.
In the chaos, it seemed that someone rushed over, took some kind of "stick" in his hand, and hit the gangster's head violently.
After being hit a few times, the gangster let go of Fan Xiaoxue, and used his hands to block the attacker's attack, but he took out a dagger from nowhere and stabbed the attacker.
Fan Xiaoxue, who had a chance to breathe, felt a burst of ruthlessness from somewhere, staggered to the side of the road, picked up the piano box, and regardless of the murder weapon in the criminal's hand, picked up the piano box and rushed towards the opponent's abdomen, The forehead and other vital points were beaten hard.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the gangster squatted down to avoid Fan Xiaoxue's attack, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, threw it in the direction of Fan Xiaoxue and the other person, and fled into the depths of the woods quickly while the two blinked.
"Bah...cough cough...you fucking...!" Fan Xiaoxue couldn't help but swear, and wanted to chase after her, but was pulled back by the person beside her.
"Don't chase after the poor!"
At this time, Fan Xiaoxue's emotions were completely out of control, and she wanted to break free from the hand that stopped her.
"Fan Xiaoxue, calm down! See who I am?"
The person beside him yelled loudly, Fan Xiaoxue stopped struggling, and froze on the spot, at a loss.
Seeing this, the other party sighed, took Fan Xiaoxue's violin case and carried it on his shoulder: "It's dangerous here, let's go back to the right road first." After speaking, he helped Fan Xiaoxue to walk towards the road outside the woods.
After returning to the right path, Fan Xiaoxue realized that Gao Cheng was the one who rescued him, and what the other party was holding was not a "stick" but an iron lock of a bicycle.
At this time, Fan Xiaoxue seemed to have been drained of all her strength. If it wasn't for Gao Cheng's support, she might not even be able to stand firmly.She has always called herself a "female man", but after experiencing an accident, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears with a "wow".
Gao Cheng understood that Fan Xiaoxue needed to cry a lot to release his emotions. While comforting him in a low voice, he checked Fan Xiaoxue's condition in a low voice - her hair was very messy, her half-up ball head was loose, and her face was covered with bruises. There were mud and tears, and there were obvious red marks on the neck, which should have just been strangled by the gangsters, and the pants and shoes were also full of mud.
Fortunately, he acted in time and no irreparable harm happened. Gao Cheng silently breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pack of papers from his bag and handed it to Fan Xiaoxue: "Sister, wipe your face, I will ride you back by bike. "
On the bicycle, the head-on cold wind was inhaled into the nasal cavity and reached the lungs, which completely awakened Fan Xiaoxue's rationality. She tried her best to control her sobs, and asked Gao Cheng softly, "Senior, should we call the police first?"
After a while, Gao Cheng's dull and emotionless voice came: "It depends on how the school girl weighs the pros and cons."
"Weighing the pros and cons?" Fan Xiaoxue was very puzzled.
"There have always been rumors in the school. Many years ago, a girl was raped in this area. The school successfully sealed the victim's mouth on the condition of postgraduate insurance and full scholarship. About three years ago, the same On this side, another girl was robbed and stabbed by gangsters."
"So many things have happened, don't the school care?" Fan Xiaoxue said excitedly.
"Criminals were caught, and the school also arranged security patrols, but the situation in that area was very complicated. Those dilapidated small buildings at the end of the green forest were the family members of the school's faculty and staff built in the late 90s. Today, most of the old faculty and staff They all moved to other places, and these old houses were either sold or rented out to those migrant workers. The school built a low wall with red bricks over there, but it is not against gentlemen but against villains.”
Going uphill, Gao Cheng pedaled his bicycle with some difficulty. He waited until the gentle road section before continuing: "You definitely wouldn't live in that kind of old house with conditions like yours. It's usually low-income people, and It’s the one with the higher crime rate.”
"What if I call the police?"
"I don't know what's going on behind the No.2 girl I mentioned just now. There are rumors that she was raped by someone in the school. The girl couldn't bear it and jumped from the second teaching building. The school compensated her parents hundreds of thousands pacification fee, and used her relationship to suppress the matter, declaring to the outside world that she committed suicide due to excessive study pressure."
Gao Cheng told the secrets of the school in a flat tone. Fan Xiaoxue knew that these were different from the campus "legends" she had heard before. In all likelihood, they were not rumors, but cases that actually happened in school.
"The school will give me benefits in order to suppress this matter, and let me calm down, and this matter will affect my reputation, right?" Fan Xiaoxue finally understood Gao Cheng's meaning.
"Yes."
Gao Cheng's reason and calm made Fan Xiaoxue inexplicably angry.
"If you were a senior in this situation, how would you choose?" Fan Xiaoxue threw the question to Gao Cheng again.
"I'm not short of money. With my strength, I can easily be admitted to the graduate school of this school, but if I want to make a difference in the local legal field, I can't get too angry with the school." Gao Cheng didn't answer Fan Xiaoxue directly. However, Fan Xiaoxue already understood his compromise.
At that time, Fan Xiaoxue was young and energetic, and her thinking about people and things was not mature enough, so she was prone to fall into a black and white situation.In addition, her character has always dared to love and hate, and she has a strong sense of justice.So even though she was very grateful to Gao Cheng for taking the risk to save her, she still felt that this man was too utilitarian and only considered gains and losses in everything, and she didn't want to have too much interaction with him.
Of course, she took note of today's life-saving grace, and she will definitely repay it if she has the chance.
With a squeak, Gao Cheng landed on one foot and stopped the bicycle.
"what happened?"
"I'm going to the dormitory soon, so I'm going to tidy up your hair. If you don't plan to report the crime, if someone asks about the dirt and injuries on your body, just say that I accidentally knocked you down in the grass when I was riding a bicycle." .”
"You saved me, how can I let you take the blame?"
Gao Cheng sighed helplessly, then smiled wryly: "Fan Xuemei, you have to give me a valid reason to drive you back to the dormitory by bike. I have a girlfriend, so I need to avoid suspicion."
"Oh——" Fan Xiaoxue seemed to have discovered something new and strange, and her cold air faded, she raised her eyebrows and teased: "You are afraid that senior sister Zhao Ting will be jealous!"
"I'm just afraid of trouble."
Fan Xiaoxue hummed in her heart, thinking she was stupid, if she was afraid of trouble, she would have just called the police and left, why bother to save someone herself, she was obviously just trying to scare her ears because she was afraid of her girlfriend.
Back in the dormitory, Fan Xiaoxue didn't have a chance to use the pre-made excuses.
The roommates all went to bed early and lay down, playing games and making phone calls, and didn't notice her abnormality at all.
Lying on the bed, Fan Xiaoxue tossed and turned and thought about it all night, and finally told the class teacher about her attack the next day.
"...At that time, two or three people happened to pass by. I don't know who called the police. The gangster let me go and ran away in a panic."
Fan Xiaoxue untied the silk scarf, revealing the purple strangle marks on her neck, which really frightened the young head teacher.After confirming again and again that Fan Xiaoxue had not suffered other abuses, the head teacher quickly reported the matter to the school leaders.
Fan Xiaoxue didn't want to take advantage of this matter to gain anything for herself. Her family is not short of money, and the graduate students from the University of Political Science and Law are far less attractive to her than the design majors from the Academy of Fine Arts.She just wanted to try her best not to let this happen again through her own efforts.
Not long after, the school replaced the forest with a lawn in the name of landscape renovation, raised the fence between the old faculty and staff quarters, erected power grids on the fence, and installed surveillance cameras.
Even so, until graduation, Fan Xiaoxue never walked that road again.
After Gao Cheng knew about this, he didn't say anything.
Only he knew that that night, when Fan Xiaoxue ran out of the grove, he thought that the other party would abandon him and run away alone.At that time, he only hoped that Fan Xiaoxue would have a little conscience and call the police, or call the security guard at the gate of the campus.
But unexpectedly, this thin little girl picked up the violin case and rushed to fight the gangsters. His courage really shocked him.That's why on the way to send her back to the dormitory, I was willing to remind her a few more words.
What's even more surprising is that Fan Xiaoxue didn't take the opportunity to reap the benefits for herself. Instead, she used both soft and hard tactics to force the school leadership to finally decide to spend money to upgrade the security of the old campus.
From then on, in Gao Cheng's mind, "Fan Xiaoxue" was no longer just a familiar school girl.
☆, overcoming difficulties together
After dinner, everyone walked out of the hotel. Fan Xiaoxue asked Xiao Du to take Han Xiaoxiao back to the hotel to rest, and then ordered the company's driver to take Gao Qiqi and other girls home.
Gao Cheng stood aside, watching Fan Xiaoxue making various arrangements in an orderly manner, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Fan Xiaoxue looked left and right to see that other people had left one after another, and then she remembered Gao Cheng, turned her head and said to Gao Cheng behind her, "I have already called a substitute driver, I may have to wait a little bit."
"Don't worry, let the driver drive you home later, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to take a taxi alone."
"No need, my friend will pick me up by car. The senior has worked hard today, so let's go home early and rest. I'm afraid I will trouble you a lot in the next few days."
"I work hard to lose weight, but school girls should pay attention to rest, often staying up late will make you old quickly."
Fan Xiaoxue couldn't help taking out her mobile phone as a mirror to look at her face, and muttered, "It shouldn't happen in just a few days."
The two stood in the parking lot in front of the hotel and chatted for a while, and soon the surrogate driver arrived as scheduled, and after confirming that it was Fan Xiaoxue's order, he took the car key from Gao Cheng.
"Is your friend here yet?" Gao Cheng asked worriedly.
Fan Xiaoxue took out her mobile phone and was about to make a call.
Drop drop-
There was a sound of car horns at the entrance of the parking lot.
"Oh, my friend is here. Senior, I'll go first, see you tomorrow."
Gao Cheng's brows and eyes moved slightly, hiding all kinds of emotions under his smile quietly: "Be careful on the road, goodbye!"
After returning home, Gao Cheng found that the window of the study was still open, and the whistling north wind blew into the room with a chill, blowing the archives on the desk all over the floor.
Gao Cheng bent over to pick up the paper on the ground, and a photo just slipped out from between the two pages.On the photo was Fan Xiaoxue, with a gentle man beside him.
----
In the next two weeks, Fan Xiaoxue and the others were so busy that they were so busy every day that everyone was exhausted. They even skipped the greetings when they met, and went straight to the topic.
In the words of the original artist Cao Dong: "I'm so tired that I can't even squeeze out a fake smile."
Han Xiaoxiao regretted it 180 times in his heart. Back then, he ran to "learn" other people's works because of his hand.
Of all people, only Gaocheng seems to be unaffected by this high-intensity work.Every morning at nine o'clock, wearing a well-pressed formal suit on time, he appeared energetically in the temporary office arranged by Qiyue Company.
"It's normal. After all, the nature of the work is different. I have to see clients most of the time. It is impossible to dress too casually. It will look unprofessional and affect the client's trust in me. Besides, Xincheng often encounters some difficult cases. , basically this kind of work intensity, I'm used to it." Gao Cheng explained with a smile.
The cultural atmosphere of Qiyue Company is somewhat scattered.Most of the male compatriots look not too different from those college students who sit in smoky Internet cafes all day long and play games.
Such a comparison, just sets off Gao Cheng as a rich man full of mature masculine charm, which arouses the enthusiasm of the strange girls.
"Did you know that Lawyer Gao actually smiled at me at the elevator entrance today? Do you think he is interested in me?"
"Cut—don't be so sentimental, Lawyer Gao will smile politely when he sees everyone."
"Hey, don't you think that Lawyer Gao is not handsome enough, but he tidies himself up every day, and he speaks and behaves gracefully, unlike those men in our company who are hunched all day long and play with When the game is excited, it will explode with foul language."
"The key is that Lawyer Gao is very easy to get along with. I don't know if he has a girlfriend?"
"He is quite familiar with Sister Fan, why don't you ask Sister Fan at lunch time. I heard that Lawyer Gao Cheng is Xincheng's partner, and his annual income may reach seven figures."
"That's right, even if you don't look at his car, it's enough to buy a suite in the outskirts of the city."
……
Gao Cheng himself does not know that he has become the "blue chip stock" in the hearts of Qiyue's female employees.
In the temporary office arranged by Qi Yue, Gao Cheng and Han Xiaoxiao's lawyers fought all day long before negotiating the matter of compensation for breach of contract.
After seeing off the unsightly-looking guests, Gao Cheng returned to the office and closed the door, took out a piece of mousse cake from an inconspicuous paper box beside the table, and sat in front of the French window to enjoy today's afternoon tea.
Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, Gao Cheng let his thoughts wander.During this period of time, Qiyue worked with Fan Xiaoxue, which always reminded him of their days at the University of Political Science and Law.
In his third year of research, Gao Cheng's parents divorced, and they didn't care about their son who was about to graduate.
Gao Cheng himself doesn't care, anyway, his parents have been separated for many years, and sooner or later there will be such a day.
After graduation, he plans to work for others for a few years to accumulate a certain network and capital, and then find a few like-minded friends to open a law firm.Girlfriend Zhao Ting has been planning to stay in school as a teacher after graduation, and will stay in Yuzhou in the future. If it goes well, the two can get married within 2 to 3 years after graduation, and have a child when his career is more stable.
All the ideas are beautiful, but it is a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.
One day, his friend Yang Xinyu came to look for him, and mysteriously dragged him to a secluded place, with a troubled look on his face, hesitating for a long time but couldn't speak.
Seeing his appearance, Gao Cheng knew it was not a good thing.
He knows that Yang Xinyu is very business-minded, and has been messing around with investment and financial management since his senior year, but he is too courageous and has a lot of leverage.
The age structure of the team led by Fan Xiaoxue is very young, and most of the members are in their early 20s. Fan Xiaoxue, who is a few years older, never puts on leadership airs, so the employees below have no scruples about talking to her.
Du Wei, who was the most tactful, pushed a computer chair in front of Fan Xiaoxue: "Sister Fan, sit down and rest your feet first, and tell everyone about the current situation and what the higher-ups plan to do?"
The short Gao Qiqi wrung her fingers and asked timidly: "Sister Fan, will the company hold me accountable for this?" Gao Qiqi read the novel suspected of plagiarism on the Internet and recommended it to the team. After knowing what had happened, she was always in a state of anxiety, and couldn't sleep well for several days.
Fan Xiaoxue squeezed out a smile, and comforted her: "Qiqi, don't worry too much. You can't blame you for this. The company purchased the copyright at the beginning. It was reviewed and approved by the company. Besides, there are a few similar sentences in this million-word novel. It’s also hard to tell whether it’s plagiarism or everyone is playing the same stalk.”
"It's just..."
"...We are not engaged in paper screening."
Looking at these young faces around her, Fan Xiaoxue stabilized her mind and silently told herself that she is the backbone of the team, and the more critical the time is, the more calm she must be.
Fan Xiaoxue stood up, clapped her hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, this animation has condensed the hard work of our team for nearly a year. I know that everyone has worked hard over the past few months for the animation to go online as scheduled. I, like everyone, have not seen it for a long time." I was able to get off work on time and have a good rest. Needless to say, the quality of this animation is one of the best in the current Guochuang. In order to let everyone's hard work not go to waste and ensure the normal broadcast of the animation, some changes may be made in the later stage .I'm afraid it will be difficult for everyone in the next period of time."
"Is there a big change?" Cao Dong, the original artist, asked worriedly.
Fan Xiaoxue: "We still need to listen to the lawyer's opinion. Mr. Wang means not to change it as much as possible. We will wait for the notification on the follow-up arrangement. Just do whatever you need to do now!"
The sky was falling, and Fan Xiaoxue had more things to deal with than the low-level employees.
She gritted her teeth and made a phone call to Han Xiaoxiao, threatening to breach the contract and pay huge compensation, successfully bluffing the other party into agreeing to fly to Yuzhou the next day.
Then he ran to find Huang Jie in a ding ding dong dong, urging him to finalize the cooperation lawyer as soon as possible.
Don't say that the workplace is a man's world, sometimes if a woman explodes, it really doesn't matter to a man.
In just one and a half days, Fan Xiaoxue used both soft and hard tactics to get the author of the novel, the team of outside lawyers, the animation production team and other relevant personnel to gather in Qiyue.
Han Xiaoxiao, who caused the mess, was a somewhat decadent and lazy girl, with a plain face, short natural curly hair that looked fluffy and messy, drooping eyelids and lack of energy, her whole body exuded a detached aura of Buddhist youth.
What Fan Xiaoxue didn't expect was that the people who came to the law firm were also old acquaintances.
"I haven't seen Senior Gao for a long time. Xincheng is really sincere. He even sent a lawyer to take our small case."
Gao Cheng chatted together: "Long time no see Fan Xuemei, I know you are eloquent, so don't make fun of me."
Huang Jie next to him looked blank: "Manager Fan and Lawyer Gao know each other?"
Fan Xiaoxue explained casually: "We used to be alumni of the University of Political Science and Law. Let's go, let's go in and chat slowly in the meeting room."
----
By the time Fan Xiaoxue and his group came up with a preliminary plan, it was already dark.
Du Wei, a big guy who was not hungry, took advantage of the time when he was going to the toilet, quietly ran to the tea room and stuffed several pieces of meat floss to fill his stomach. Fan Xiaoxue saw it.
Fan Xiaoxue glanced at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, and said with a sigh: "Everyone has worked hard today, and I will be the host to invite everyone to have a light meal tonight."
As soon as Du Wei heard about eating, he immediately regained his energy: "Where is Miss Fan going to eat? I'll arrange a car."
"Is there anything Miss Han wants to eat?" Although Han Xiaoxiao caused so much trouble for everyone, but the other party flew a long distance for 3 hours before arriving in Yuzhou, and actively cooperated with Qiyue's work, Fan Xiaoxue Can't be too negligent.
"It's up to you. I seldom come to Yuzhou, and I don't know what to eat."
Fan Xiaoxue turned around and asked Gao Cheng who was packing up the materials: "Senior, do you have anything you want to eat?"
Gao Cheng raised his head and said to Fan Xiaoxue with a smile, "You are in charge of your territory, as long as you hurry up, I'm full of empty plans now."
It is close to the company, the food is served quickly, it has the characteristics of Yuzhou, and it is suitable for winter. Finally, the group went to a hot pot restaurant near Qiyue.
During the chat, Huang Jie was very surprised that Fan Xiaoxue was a student of the Law School of University of Political Science and Law.
"Manager Fan, you're hiding too much."
Fan Xiaoxue waved her hand and said, "What are you hiding? You're thinking too much. My family forced me to choose a major. I'm not very interested in it. I'm basically a soy saucer in college. I didn't learn much. Show off in front of Senior Cheng."
☆, in full bloom
During the college entrance examination season seven years ago, Fan Xiaoxue had a big fight with her family about filling in the application form.In the end, Fan Xiaoxue gave up her favorite animation design major, and her family no longer required her to study business administration, and instead applied for the economic law major of the University of Political Science and Law.
From the first day of enrollment in the fall, Fan Xiaoxue had no interest in her professional courses.At first, she would go to the classroom to sign in. After finding out the temper of the teachers in each subject, she would not go to those classes that were not called by name.
On the other hand, Fan Xiaoxue actively participates in various club activities to pass the time, such as animation club, debating club, photography club...everyone who is interested is left behind.
As for why he joined a symphony orchestra that he didn't have much interest in, it was because——
The second day after military training ends, 6:00 in the morning.
"Xiaoxue is going to get up soon, and it will be too late if I don't get up again." Roommate Fang Fang urged, patting the double-layer iron frame bed heavily.
"Hmm... what time is it?" Fan Xiaoxue asked in a daze with eyes narrowed.
"It's five past six!"
"It's only six o'clock, and I don't need military training today, let me lie down for a while, anyway, classes don't start until 08:30, so I don't have to eat breakfast..." After finishing speaking, Fan Xiaoxue pulled the quilt to cover half of her face.
Fang Fang said anxiously, "Oh sister, the military training is over, but we have to do morning exercises at 06:30. If you don't get up again, I won't care about you."
……
"Ah——" Fan Xiaoxue yelled and immediately sat up, lifted the quilt, climbed out of bed along the ladder, put on her slippers and rushed to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and washing her face as quickly as possible.
I glanced at the phone on the table again. I didn't have time. I simply put on a ponytail without putting on makeup. After changing clothes, I took Fang Fang and trotted all the way to the playground, and finally clocked in at the last minute.
"Oh my god, I really... really killed my aunt." Fan Xiaoxue gasped.
Fang Fang also yawned and said weakly: "This is the first time to clock in this semester, what should I do if the weather gets cold and I don't want to get up after a while?"
Fan Xiaoxue complained: "I don't know who is so wicked, the prescribed morning exercise card system, do you still have to live! Is there any way not to clock in?"
"Yes!" A clear voice sounded from behind.
Fan Xiaoxue turned around and saw that the boy behind him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't name him, as if he was from her class.
"Hello! Handsome guy, did you just say that there is no way to punch in?"
"As long as you are members of the school's four major clubs, you don't need to take the morning exercise card."
"Four major clubs?" Fan Xiaoxue heard this word for the first time. In recent days, there are clubs recruiting new students everywhere in the school, and she herself has applied for a few interested ones, so she doesn't know what the four major clubs are.
The boy pointed to the small square opposite the playground and said, "I passed by the square yesterday, and overheard a senior from some band introducing it to me. You can go and see."
"That's right, thank you."
For the sake of her laziness, at noon that day, Fan Xiaoxue rushed to the small square to inquire about the situation without even eating.
She asked several seniors and sisters to find out that the Chinese Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, Rhythmic Gymnastics Team, and Chorus are the four major clubs at the school level. As long as members participate in daily training, they don't need to register for morning exercises.
Of course, there are thresholds for these four major clubs. Take the two major orchestras as examples. They are not zero-basic interest classes. You must know the same musical instrument and reach a certain level before you can apply to join.
Fan Xiaoxue learned violin since she was a child, but high school was neglected for three years, her overall level was not bad among amateurs, and she passed the entrance examination easily.
After joining the symphony orchestra, Fan Xiaoxue discovered that the orchestra with more than 60 members is mainly composed of freshmen, freshmen and sophomores, and many of them quit the troupe when they reached their junior year.In addition to the undergraduates, there are seven or eight graduate students in the orchestra.
Fan Xiaoxue joined the symphony orchestra entirely to avoid morning exercises. Apart from rehearsals before performances, she only spends one or two hours a week to practice on weekdays to keep her hands in shape.
University life went by very quickly, and Fan Xiaoxue was promoted to sophomore in a blink of an eye, becoming what freshmen called "Senior Sister Fan".
One night, Fan Xiaoxue came out of the library after her self-study, planning to go to the regiment to take the violin for maintenance.
Roommate Fang Fang unscrewed the iron lock on the rear wheel of the bicycle and asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"
Fan Xiaoxue said: "No, you should go back to the dormitory and wash up first. Otherwise, it will be like last night. The lights have been turned off and you haven't washed your face and brushed your teeth. In the end, I need to use a flashlight to illuminate you."
"Okay, the road over there to the symphony orchestra is not good, so be careful when riding at night." After speaking, Fang Fang pedaled away on her bicycle.
The training venue of the Symphony Orchestra is in the back building of the Performing Arts Hall of the University of Political Science and Law.
Fan Xiaoxue parked her bicycle at the side entrance of the performing arts hall, and when she was about to lock the bicycle, she heard a faint quarrel in the nearby woods.
A high-pitched female voice came into Fan Xiaoxue's ears: "I said it's just ordinary friends for a meal... They promised to help me stay in school..."
Immediately afterwards, another man was speaking, his voice was slightly low, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.
On the university campus, all kinds of love, hate, and hatred are staged every day, and sometimes the level of gossip far exceeds that of popular romance dramas on TV.
Fan Xiaoxue wasn't in the mood to listen to gossip right now, she stepped lightly and entered the performing arts hall through the side door.
There are more than a dozen classrooms on the second floor of the performing arts hall, half of which belong to the folk orchestra and half to the symphony orchestra. Due to the poor sound insulation of the classrooms, the folk orchestra trains on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, while the symphony orchestra trains on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
Today happened to be Wednesday, and I could still hear the sound of sawing wood as I walked in the corridor, and I didn't know which rookie was playing the erhu.
Fan Xiaoxue walked straight to the door of the warehouse where the musical instruments were stored, took the key to open the door, took out her violin case from the tin cabinet by the light of the mobile phone and carried it on her shoulder, turned around and was about to go back to the dormitory.
"what--!"
When Fan Xiaoxue turned her head, there was a vague figure in front of the warehouse door. She instinctively took the flashlight of her mobile phone and shone it, trying to see who it was.As a result, under the light of the mobile phone, a pale face appeared in front of her eyes, like a dead person crawling out of a ghost movie, which made her scream in horror.
With a "snap", the light in the warehouse was turned on, and Fan Xiaoxue could see who was coming.
"What is the school girl doing in the regiment at such a late hour?"
Fan Xiaoxue patted her chest, took several deep breaths, and said, "It turned out to be Senior Gao Cheng, who scared me to death."
Gao Cheng smiled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to scare you. I just passed by and saw a light in the warehouse, so I came up to have a look."
Fan Xiaoxue weighed the piano case on her shoulder and said, "The National Day Art Performance is coming up soon, I plan to take the piano back for maintenance."
After she finished speaking, she thought to herself that the senior probably misunderstood that there was a thief, so she went upstairs to check, so she explained: "I took the piano and left, so I didn't bother to look for the light switch. It's getting late and I'll go back to the dormitory first. "
"The performing arts hall is too remote. It's best not to walk around here alone at night, it's not safe!" Gao Cheng reminded.
"Okay, thank you senior. Then I'll go first, bye!" Fan Xiaoxue just treated her casually as a senior, and didn't take the other party's reminder to heart.
At that time, Fan Xiaoxue and Gao Cheng could only be considered familiar.For one thing, the graduate school and the undergraduate campus are far apart, and there are not many club activities.Secondly, college is still a world of "looking at the face". Gao Cheng is not tall, with a round face and a slightly fat body. He has nothing to do with the most popular small v-face and long-legged Oppa.Therefore, the sense of presence among undergraduate students is not high.
It was only later that Fan Xiaoxue found out that Gao Cheng was actually quite famous in the law school (she skipped too many classes so I don’t know), her grades ranked first every year, and she won scholarships. ", and has published several articles in authoritative legal journals.
----
Every Friday, the symphony orchestra will arrange different instrument groups to be responsible for cleaning the venue.Fan Xiaoxue's violin group has three men and six women, a total of nine members.
This is a typical configuration where a woman acts as a man and a man acts as a dog.Fan Xiaoxue had to fetch water from the toilet at the end of the corridor with a bucket.
Fan Xiaoxue carried half a bucket of water in both hands and strenuously walked forward, not forgetting to have fun thinking that if she walked back and forth with half a bucket of water in her hands, the piece of cheesecake she just ate should be consumed.
"Let me do it." A hand stretched out from the side and took the bucket in Fan Xiaoxue's hand.
"Thank you—Senior Gao Cheng?" Fan Xiaoxue was slightly taken aback, and blurted out: "Isn't the violin team and the flute team on duty today? Did I remember wrongly?"
"It's true that the violin and flute teams are on duty. I'm just helping others. This is also my job, so you don't have to be polite."
Gao Cheng carried half a bucket of water into the training room in one breath, and then helped the other girls who were mopping the floor take the dirty water to the toilet to empty out.
Wang Juan, who was in charge of mopping the floor, held the mop pole with both hands and said, "Fortunately, Senior Gao Cheng came to help. I just fetched a bucket of water and my hands were blue."
"Don't be so sentimental, the seniors are not here to help us." Another girl named Wen Yi laughed.
Fan Xiaoxue rubbed the rag with clean water and said, "Senior seems to be on duty for a friend."
Wen Yi smiled ambiguously, and added: "To be precise, it is to help my girlfriend on duty."
When Wang Juan heard this, she changed from Lin Daiyu's powerless look just now, and the fire of gossip was burning in her eyes: "Girlfriend? Who is it? Is it also from our violin group?"
Wen Yi played it off mischievously: "Guess?"
"It should be Senior Sister Zhao Ting from the Graduate School." Fan Xiaoxue said with certainty.
Wang Juan was unhappy: "Xiaoxue, you know it too. It's not interesting not to tell me this kind of news!"
Fan Xiaoxue placed the cleaned tables and chairs neatly, looked up and smiled at Wang Juan, and said, "I guessed it too. Since it is on duty for someone else, I am afraid that the master may not be here today. Only senior sister Zhao Ting is absent today."
Wen Yi clasped her fists in both hands, jokingly said: "Admiration, admiration, as expected of a person from the law school, you can use reasoning in this!"
"It's easy to say!" Fan Xiaoxue laughed.
Wang Juan half-believingly said: "No way, Senior Sister Zhao Ting is the number one beauty in the Chinese Department. Senior Gao Cheng is a good person. Every time I see him, I always smile, but there is such a difference in appearance and height. .” As he spoke, he gestured for a short distance with his index finger and thumb.
"Superficial! How can you only look at people's faces? It's true that Senior Sister Zhao Ting is a flower in the Chinese Department, but Senior Gao Cheng is also a great talent in the Law School. She is a man of talent and beauty."
Luo Hao, the only boy who was assigned to clean the training room, finally couldn't bear it and joined the girls' gossip team.
Wen Yi, who is very well informed, shared some old stories with everyone: "Look, every big performance in our troupe has a small show for the two of them. I heard from seniors that they were arranged by the counselor at the freshman welcome party. We only got to know each other when we were performing together, and we often collaborated together later on, and we fell in love with each other after a long time."
Wang Juan still wants to express her opinion——
"Yeah——" Fan Xiaoxue cleared her throat, raised her voice, and said, "That—Senior Gao Cheng has worked hard, just put the bucket by the door."
Seeing this, the others immediately changed the topic.
☆、Hero saves the beauty
The National Day Parade is one of the major events of the University of Political Science and Law every year.Since September, all groups and individuals who have undertaken performance tasks are stepping up their training.
Although Fan Xiaoxue, the soy sauce party, did not sign up to participate in the personal small show, she must participate in the group's big ensemble.
After the team leader announced that the training was over, Fan Xiaoxue glanced at the time, and it was already 10:30 in the evening.
She went to the toilet, and then returned to the training room. Except for Gao Cheng who was still arranging the music scores, and a few team members who were in charge of cleaning up the tables, chairs and benches, the others had already left one after another.Fan Xiaoxue also hurriedly packed her things and went back to the dormitory.
"Oh——" Fan Xiaoxue yawned, and walked alone on the way back to the dormitory, thinking in her heart that the lights would soon be turned off when she returned to the dormitory, and she didn't know if Fang Fang helped her fetch more pots of hot water.
Suddenly, a figure sprang out from the green forest by the roadside, instantly covered Fan Xiaoxue's mouth from behind, and dragged her vigorously into the woods.
With the dim light on the side of the road, Fan Xiaoxue vaguely saw that the person attacking her was a burly man wearing a mask.
"Woo... help..." Fan Xiaoxue desperately struggled and called for help, hoping that someone nearby would come to rescue her, and at the same time kept kicking her attacker backwards.
Seeing this, the gangster still covered Fan Xiaoxue's mouth and nose with one hand, while the other arm strangled her neck and continued to drag her back. During the struggle, the piano case on Fan Xiaoxue's shoulder fell to the side of the road with a bang.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Fan Xiaoxue began to have difficulty breathing, her body gradually lost strength, and she was constantly pulled into a darker grove by the gangsters.
Fan Xiaoxue's heart was filled with despair and fear.
In the chaos, it seemed that someone rushed over, took some kind of "stick" in his hand, and hit the gangster's head violently.
After being hit a few times, the gangster let go of Fan Xiaoxue, and used his hands to block the attacker's attack, but he took out a dagger from nowhere and stabbed the attacker.
Fan Xiaoxue, who had a chance to breathe, felt a burst of ruthlessness from somewhere, staggered to the side of the road, picked up the piano box, and regardless of the murder weapon in the criminal's hand, picked up the piano box and rushed towards the opponent's abdomen, The forehead and other vital points were beaten hard.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the gangster squatted down to avoid Fan Xiaoxue's attack, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, threw it in the direction of Fan Xiaoxue and the other person, and fled into the depths of the woods quickly while the two blinked.
"Bah...cough cough...you fucking...!" Fan Xiaoxue couldn't help but swear, and wanted to chase after her, but was pulled back by the person beside her.
"Don't chase after the poor!"
At this time, Fan Xiaoxue's emotions were completely out of control, and she wanted to break free from the hand that stopped her.
"Fan Xiaoxue, calm down! See who I am?"
The person beside him yelled loudly, Fan Xiaoxue stopped struggling, and froze on the spot, at a loss.
Seeing this, the other party sighed, took Fan Xiaoxue's violin case and carried it on his shoulder: "It's dangerous here, let's go back to the right road first." After speaking, he helped Fan Xiaoxue to walk towards the road outside the woods.
After returning to the right path, Fan Xiaoxue realized that Gao Cheng was the one who rescued him, and what the other party was holding was not a "stick" but an iron lock of a bicycle.
At this time, Fan Xiaoxue seemed to have been drained of all her strength. If it wasn't for Gao Cheng's support, she might not even be able to stand firmly.She has always called herself a "female man", but after experiencing an accident, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears with a "wow".
Gao Cheng understood that Fan Xiaoxue needed to cry a lot to release his emotions. While comforting him in a low voice, he checked Fan Xiaoxue's condition in a low voice - her hair was very messy, her half-up ball head was loose, and her face was covered with bruises. There were mud and tears, and there were obvious red marks on the neck, which should have just been strangled by the gangsters, and the pants and shoes were also full of mud.
Fortunately, he acted in time and no irreparable harm happened. Gao Cheng silently breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pack of papers from his bag and handed it to Fan Xiaoxue: "Sister, wipe your face, I will ride you back by bike. "
On the bicycle, the head-on cold wind was inhaled into the nasal cavity and reached the lungs, which completely awakened Fan Xiaoxue's rationality. She tried her best to control her sobs, and asked Gao Cheng softly, "Senior, should we call the police first?"
After a while, Gao Cheng's dull and emotionless voice came: "It depends on how the school girl weighs the pros and cons."
"Weighing the pros and cons?" Fan Xiaoxue was very puzzled.
"There have always been rumors in the school. Many years ago, a girl was raped in this area. The school successfully sealed the victim's mouth on the condition of postgraduate insurance and full scholarship. About three years ago, the same On this side, another girl was robbed and stabbed by gangsters."
"So many things have happened, don't the school care?" Fan Xiaoxue said excitedly.
"Criminals were caught, and the school also arranged security patrols, but the situation in that area was very complicated. Those dilapidated small buildings at the end of the green forest were the family members of the school's faculty and staff built in the late 90s. Today, most of the old faculty and staff They all moved to other places, and these old houses were either sold or rented out to those migrant workers. The school built a low wall with red bricks over there, but it is not against gentlemen but against villains.”
Going uphill, Gao Cheng pedaled his bicycle with some difficulty. He waited until the gentle road section before continuing: "You definitely wouldn't live in that kind of old house with conditions like yours. It's usually low-income people, and It’s the one with the higher crime rate.”
"What if I call the police?"
"I don't know what's going on behind the No.2 girl I mentioned just now. There are rumors that she was raped by someone in the school. The girl couldn't bear it and jumped from the second teaching building. The school compensated her parents hundreds of thousands pacification fee, and used her relationship to suppress the matter, declaring to the outside world that she committed suicide due to excessive study pressure."
Gao Cheng told the secrets of the school in a flat tone. Fan Xiaoxue knew that these were different from the campus "legends" she had heard before. In all likelihood, they were not rumors, but cases that actually happened in school.
"The school will give me benefits in order to suppress this matter, and let me calm down, and this matter will affect my reputation, right?" Fan Xiaoxue finally understood Gao Cheng's meaning.
"Yes."
Gao Cheng's reason and calm made Fan Xiaoxue inexplicably angry.
"If you were a senior in this situation, how would you choose?" Fan Xiaoxue threw the question to Gao Cheng again.
"I'm not short of money. With my strength, I can easily be admitted to the graduate school of this school, but if I want to make a difference in the local legal field, I can't get too angry with the school." Gao Cheng didn't answer Fan Xiaoxue directly. However, Fan Xiaoxue already understood his compromise.
At that time, Fan Xiaoxue was young and energetic, and her thinking about people and things was not mature enough, so she was prone to fall into a black and white situation.In addition, her character has always dared to love and hate, and she has a strong sense of justice.So even though she was very grateful to Gao Cheng for taking the risk to save her, she still felt that this man was too utilitarian and only considered gains and losses in everything, and she didn't want to have too much interaction with him.
Of course, she took note of today's life-saving grace, and she will definitely repay it if she has the chance.
With a squeak, Gao Cheng landed on one foot and stopped the bicycle.
"what happened?"
"I'm going to the dormitory soon, so I'm going to tidy up your hair. If you don't plan to report the crime, if someone asks about the dirt and injuries on your body, just say that I accidentally knocked you down in the grass when I was riding a bicycle." .”
"You saved me, how can I let you take the blame?"
Gao Cheng sighed helplessly, then smiled wryly: "Fan Xuemei, you have to give me a valid reason to drive you back to the dormitory by bike. I have a girlfriend, so I need to avoid suspicion."
"Oh——" Fan Xiaoxue seemed to have discovered something new and strange, and her cold air faded, she raised her eyebrows and teased: "You are afraid that senior sister Zhao Ting will be jealous!"
"I'm just afraid of trouble."
Fan Xiaoxue hummed in her heart, thinking she was stupid, if she was afraid of trouble, she would have just called the police and left, why bother to save someone herself, she was obviously just trying to scare her ears because she was afraid of her girlfriend.
Back in the dormitory, Fan Xiaoxue didn't have a chance to use the pre-made excuses.
The roommates all went to bed early and lay down, playing games and making phone calls, and didn't notice her abnormality at all.
Lying on the bed, Fan Xiaoxue tossed and turned and thought about it all night, and finally told the class teacher about her attack the next day.
"...At that time, two or three people happened to pass by. I don't know who called the police. The gangster let me go and ran away in a panic."
Fan Xiaoxue untied the silk scarf, revealing the purple strangle marks on her neck, which really frightened the young head teacher.After confirming again and again that Fan Xiaoxue had not suffered other abuses, the head teacher quickly reported the matter to the school leaders.
Fan Xiaoxue didn't want to take advantage of this matter to gain anything for herself. Her family is not short of money, and the graduate students from the University of Political Science and Law are far less attractive to her than the design majors from the Academy of Fine Arts.She just wanted to try her best not to let this happen again through her own efforts.
Not long after, the school replaced the forest with a lawn in the name of landscape renovation, raised the fence between the old faculty and staff quarters, erected power grids on the fence, and installed surveillance cameras.
Even so, until graduation, Fan Xiaoxue never walked that road again.
After Gao Cheng knew about this, he didn't say anything.
Only he knew that that night, when Fan Xiaoxue ran out of the grove, he thought that the other party would abandon him and run away alone.At that time, he only hoped that Fan Xiaoxue would have a little conscience and call the police, or call the security guard at the gate of the campus.
But unexpectedly, this thin little girl picked up the violin case and rushed to fight the gangsters. His courage really shocked him.That's why on the way to send her back to the dormitory, I was willing to remind her a few more words.
What's even more surprising is that Fan Xiaoxue didn't take the opportunity to reap the benefits for herself. Instead, she used both soft and hard tactics to force the school leadership to finally decide to spend money to upgrade the security of the old campus.
From then on, in Gao Cheng's mind, "Fan Xiaoxue" was no longer just a familiar school girl.
☆, overcoming difficulties together
After dinner, everyone walked out of the hotel. Fan Xiaoxue asked Xiao Du to take Han Xiaoxiao back to the hotel to rest, and then ordered the company's driver to take Gao Qiqi and other girls home.
Gao Cheng stood aside, watching Fan Xiaoxue making various arrangements in an orderly manner, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Fan Xiaoxue looked left and right to see that other people had left one after another, and then she remembered Gao Cheng, turned her head and said to Gao Cheng behind her, "I have already called a substitute driver, I may have to wait a little bit."
"Don't worry, let the driver drive you home later, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to take a taxi alone."
"No need, my friend will pick me up by car. The senior has worked hard today, so let's go home early and rest. I'm afraid I will trouble you a lot in the next few days."
"I work hard to lose weight, but school girls should pay attention to rest, often staying up late will make you old quickly."
Fan Xiaoxue couldn't help taking out her mobile phone as a mirror to look at her face, and muttered, "It shouldn't happen in just a few days."
The two stood in the parking lot in front of the hotel and chatted for a while, and soon the surrogate driver arrived as scheduled, and after confirming that it was Fan Xiaoxue's order, he took the car key from Gao Cheng.
"Is your friend here yet?" Gao Cheng asked worriedly.
Fan Xiaoxue took out her mobile phone and was about to make a call.
Drop drop-
There was a sound of car horns at the entrance of the parking lot.
"Oh, my friend is here. Senior, I'll go first, see you tomorrow."
Gao Cheng's brows and eyes moved slightly, hiding all kinds of emotions under his smile quietly: "Be careful on the road, goodbye!"
After returning home, Gao Cheng found that the window of the study was still open, and the whistling north wind blew into the room with a chill, blowing the archives on the desk all over the floor.
Gao Cheng bent over to pick up the paper on the ground, and a photo just slipped out from between the two pages.On the photo was Fan Xiaoxue, with a gentle man beside him.
----
In the next two weeks, Fan Xiaoxue and the others were so busy that they were so busy every day that everyone was exhausted. They even skipped the greetings when they met, and went straight to the topic.
In the words of the original artist Cao Dong: "I'm so tired that I can't even squeeze out a fake smile."
Han Xiaoxiao regretted it 180 times in his heart. Back then, he ran to "learn" other people's works because of his hand.
Of all people, only Gaocheng seems to be unaffected by this high-intensity work.Every morning at nine o'clock, wearing a well-pressed formal suit on time, he appeared energetically in the temporary office arranged by Qiyue Company.
"It's normal. After all, the nature of the work is different. I have to see clients most of the time. It is impossible to dress too casually. It will look unprofessional and affect the client's trust in me. Besides, Xincheng often encounters some difficult cases. , basically this kind of work intensity, I'm used to it." Gao Cheng explained with a smile.
The cultural atmosphere of Qiyue Company is somewhat scattered.Most of the male compatriots look not too different from those college students who sit in smoky Internet cafes all day long and play games.
Such a comparison, just sets off Gao Cheng as a rich man full of mature masculine charm, which arouses the enthusiasm of the strange girls.
"Did you know that Lawyer Gao actually smiled at me at the elevator entrance today? Do you think he is interested in me?"
"Cut—don't be so sentimental, Lawyer Gao will smile politely when he sees everyone."
"Hey, don't you think that Lawyer Gao is not handsome enough, but he tidies himself up every day, and he speaks and behaves gracefully, unlike those men in our company who are hunched all day long and play with When the game is excited, it will explode with foul language."
"The key is that Lawyer Gao is very easy to get along with. I don't know if he has a girlfriend?"
"He is quite familiar with Sister Fan, why don't you ask Sister Fan at lunch time. I heard that Lawyer Gao Cheng is Xincheng's partner, and his annual income may reach seven figures."
"That's right, even if you don't look at his car, it's enough to buy a suite in the outskirts of the city."
……
Gao Cheng himself does not know that he has become the "blue chip stock" in the hearts of Qiyue's female employees.
In the temporary office arranged by Qi Yue, Gao Cheng and Han Xiaoxiao's lawyers fought all day long before negotiating the matter of compensation for breach of contract.
After seeing off the unsightly-looking guests, Gao Cheng returned to the office and closed the door, took out a piece of mousse cake from an inconspicuous paper box beside the table, and sat in front of the French window to enjoy today's afternoon tea.
Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window, Gao Cheng let his thoughts wander.During this period of time, Qiyue worked with Fan Xiaoxue, which always reminded him of their days at the University of Political Science and Law.
In his third year of research, Gao Cheng's parents divorced, and they didn't care about their son who was about to graduate.
Gao Cheng himself doesn't care, anyway, his parents have been separated for many years, and sooner or later there will be such a day.
After graduation, he plans to work for others for a few years to accumulate a certain network and capital, and then find a few like-minded friends to open a law firm.Girlfriend Zhao Ting has been planning to stay in school as a teacher after graduation, and will stay in Yuzhou in the future. If it goes well, the two can get married within 2 to 3 years after graduation, and have a child when his career is more stable.
All the ideas are beautiful, but it is a pity that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.
One day, his friend Yang Xinyu came to look for him, and mysteriously dragged him to a secluded place, with a troubled look on his face, hesitating for a long time but couldn't speak.
Seeing his appearance, Gao Cheng knew it was not a good thing.
He knows that Yang Xinyu is very business-minded, and has been messing around with investment and financial management since his senior year, but he is too courageous and has a lot of leverage.
