mutual benefit [gl]

Two years later.

Today's weather is good, and it is not easy to meet such a sunny day in the rainy summer.

In the morning, Ji Cixi was to be picked up to go to work in the group, and while walking on the road, Zhou Ming bought a hand pancake and planned to eat it while walking.

The aroma of the freshly made finger biscuits was overflowing, Zhou Ming took the biscuit from the proprietress's hand, and immediately took a bite.

The pancake was still steaming, Zhou Ming grinned his teeth as he ate it, and the corners of his mouth were covered with sweet sauce, which was really not very elegant.

Inadvertently, he turned his head. It was an unconscious movement, but the moment he looked back, he froze in place.

While chewing the food that was still hot in his mouth, while squinting his eyes to look over, his brows suddenly began to frown.

Again.

At the bus stop not far behind, there is a shy figure of a girl.

Zhou Ming scratched his head a little irritably, then walked over.

After stalking the other party, she was caught by someone. The girl turned her face away in embarrassment, not daring to look at Zhou Ming.

"I'm talking about this lady." Zhou Ming stood in front of the girl and said helplessly.

"You've been with me for a week and I get caught every time. What the hell are you trying to do?"

The girl lowered her head and twisted the strap of her handbag uneasily with both hands, looking very disturbed.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be very scared, Zhou Ming's heart also softened. He softened his tone and said in a low voice:

"Stop following me, huh?"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Ming turned around to leave, but just as he turned around, he felt his arm being gently grabbed.

He turned around and saw that it was the girl.

The girl's flushed face was like a peach blossom in full spring. She tremblingly took out something carefully wrapped in floral cloth from her bag, and stuffed it directly into Zhou Ming's arms.

"So, don't eat these things in the future." The girl whispered timidly.

Before Zhou Ming realized what was going on, the girl ran away shyly.

Zhou Ming had never been in a relationship before, so he didn't understand what was going on with the girl's advance, so he just felt inexplicably stunned.

When he received Ji Cixi, he took it as an anecdote and told Ji Cixi in the car.

Ji Cixi, who was sitting behind him, was still reading documents, when she heard Zhou Ming smile and say: "Isn't this little girl quite interesting? Give me back my things, probably because she's afraid of me."

Ji Cixi raised her head, supported her forehead and said, "Zhou Ming, I advise you not to only know about work in the future."

"Huh?" Zhou Ming, who was driving, glanced at Ji Cixi through the rear window, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? I'm very happy at work."

Ji Cixi waved the hand holding the pen, then continued to look down at the document.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..." Her voice became lower and lower, and finally she whispered in a voice that even Zhou Ming couldn't hear clearly: "Which girl is so unlucky to have a crush on this piece of wood..."

"Huh? General Manager, what did you say?" Zhou Ming asked innocently.

Today is a big day for everyone.

After finishing all the work in the morning, Ji Cixi looked down at his watch, it was already eleven o'clock at noon.She packed up her things and was about to leave when Gao Xiu pushed open the door of her office.

"President Ji," Gao Xiu walked to her desk, smiling like a dog.

"I'd like to ask for half a day off, will you allow me?"

Ji Cixi looked at him and sneered, "No."

Gao Xiu immediately became anxious when he heard the words, "Hey, why? I have a date in the afternoon, so you can't let me let others go."

"Let's just let it go." Ji Cixi tossed her hair, "Anyway, Lawyer Gao, each relationship of yours doesn't exceed two months, so it's fine even if it's a month and a half earlier this time."

After saying that, Ji Cixi bypassed him and was about to walk towards the door, when Gao Xiu saw this, he hurried forward and blocked her way.

Looking up at him again, Gao Xiu has changed his appearance.

"Is it today?" he asked with a smile.

Ji Cixi nodded, she patted Gao Xiu's shoulder.

"So today, you help me guard in the group."

"Cut." Gao Xiu couldn't help laughing, he was copying the pockets of his trousers, looking cynical.

"Remember to bring a message for my 'ex-wife', saying that I am very happy that she is back."

Hearing this, Ji Cixi smiled and made a gesture to hit him, then she waved her hand and walked out of the office.

In the car downstairs of the group, Gao Xiu and Liao Tezhu were already waiting in the car in advance, Ji Cixi walked to the front of the car, and she couldn't help frowning when she saw Liao Tezhu sitting in the co-pilot.

She stretched out her hand to open the car door and complained, "Why are you here? You are looking at someone who is about to give birth."

Hearing this, Liao Tezhu smiled and lowered his eyes and touched his swollen abdomen, then shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Seeing her insistence, Ji Cixi no longer forced her, but told Zhou Ming several times to drive carefully today, then she opened the back door and got into the car.

It was almost two hours' journey from the group to the prison, looking at the familiar scenery along the way, Ji Cixi not only pursed her lips and smiled.

This time she finally didn't have to come back alone.

When several people arrived outside the prison gate, a floating cloud happened to pass by in the sky, covering the scorching sun.

With a crisp sound of "clang clang", the tall and thick iron door in front of him was slowly pushed open, Ji Cixi opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to freeze the scene in front of him forever in his heart.

She saw Chen Yuanzhen walking out of the prison in the same clothes as when she parted with her two years ago.

If Ji Cixi hadn't seen her hair cut to the level of her earlobe, Ji Cixi would have thought that everything was just a big dream of her own.

Two years seem like a lifetime away.

Ji Cixi shed tears again.

Chen Yuanzhen walked towards her with a smile, she gently hugged Ji Cixi, and whispered in her ear:

"I'm back."
