Chapter 12 The Peak Chapter

"Lawyer Lin, shall we go eat pizza?"

When the whole team took the elevator downstairs, Emily asked on behalf of everyone.

Lin Qiao's head was full of black lines: "Aren't you tired of eating? From Pudong to Puxi, I have been there four or five times this year."

"Isn't this trying to save money for the boss?" Emily said with a playful smile, "The pizzeria dare not charge you money."

"Respect the laws of the market, okay?" Lin Qiao coughed lightly, "Can't cancel your discount card any longer."

These words instantly ignited the complaints of the girls in the team. Several women chattered and said that He Jing, who was standing at the elevator entrance, listened for a while, and his head swelled a little.

Taking a peek at Lin Qiao, I saw him calmly looking at the electronic display screen of the elevator, not listening to the buzzing noise in his ears.

With a sound of "Ding!", the elevator reached the lobby, Lin Qiao led the way out, and He Jing quickly followed.

The two walked ahead of the crowd, Lin Qiao whispered to him, "Just get used to it."

The team dinner is in the western restaurant of the hotel next to the office building. Looking down from the height of the [-]th floor, the scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River is charming.

The set meal at noon in the restaurant is a semi-buffet style, with one main dish per person, unlimited appetizers and desserts.It was the first time for He Jing to eat here, and he seemed somewhat restrained. The female colleagues around him were all chatting with each other, and no one thought of taking care of him.

"Don't bother chatting, take He Jing to get something to eat." After ordering the main course, Lin Qiao ordered.

When everyone heard the words, they got up one after another. Emily generously took He Jing to the dining table, and introduced him to the delicious dishes of this restaurant one by one while queuing.

When everyone returned to their seats after taking the food, they saw Lin Qiao sitting alone at the table, sending a voice message.

"Did you have too much fun at the Imperial Capital Nightclub, and you can't remember coming back?"

His tone was a little sarcastic, but there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Looking up to see everyone coming, Lin Qiao put away her phone and stood up: "I'll get something, you guys eat first."

He Jing took his plate and sat down on the seat cautiously. He thought that his colleagues would still chat on their own as before, but he didn't expect that as soon as Lin Qiao walked away, someone asked, "How old is He Jing?"

"22." Just as He Jing finished his answer, he suddenly found that the eyes of a table of women were all focused on him.

"Wow, post-[-]s!"

"So tender!"

There were chattering comments one after another, occasionally mixed with descriptions like "little fresh meat".

"I heard you were transferred from Lawyer Yang's team?" After some whispered discussion, Jennifer, who was sitting opposite him, finally asked a serious question.

He Jing nodded, thought for a while and added: "Actually, there is no vacancy in Lawyer Yang's team. When I was fired last week, I happened to meet Lawyer Lin. He asked me about the situation, and then asked HR to notify me to come for an interview. "

"Well...he's always wanted to hire a senior lawyer," Jennifer shrugged, "You're lucky."

"Lawyer Lin said the same thing during the interview." He Jing couldn't figure out the meaning behind Jennifer's words, so he added cautiously, "I will work hard."

"Don't be nervous," Jennifer smiled. "Lawyer Lin will train you well when he recruits you. He won't expect you to be able to do what senior lawyers do all of a sudden."

He Jing smiled at her: "Lawyer Lin is really nice."

After he said this, the colleagues around him laughed.

"This is a good time for you," Emily pursed her lips. "You are a very good person, but you have a big temper. You only get better after you get married."

Hearing what she said, He Jing suddenly thought of the diamond ring on Lin Qiao's hand: "Lawyer Lin looks so young, already married..."

"I just got married in the United States this fall." Emily picked up a piece of abalone from the seafood salad. "The boss provides all board and lodging, so we all went."

"America?!"

Emily nodded with a smile: "We went there for a week, and he just came back from his honeymoon in Tahiti."

Where is Tahiti?He Jing thought about it for a long time, and vaguely felt that it should be an island.

"He Jing should be transferred to our group sooner so we can go to America together," said someone next to him, "The wedding was so touching, I cried watching it."

"So lawyer Lin's wife is a foreigner?" He Jing couldn't help asking.

"Forget it, half-breed," Jennifer answered, and then took care, "Don't mention 'Mrs.', he will be embarrassed."

He Jing winked at her.

Jennifer lowered her head and took a sip of water: "You will know later."

As soon as the time for gossip at the dinner table came to an end, Lin Qiao came back with a plate.

"It's over?" Putting down the dinner plate on the table, Lin Qiao spread a napkin on his lap, "Did you ask clearly about the number of people, cows, and mu of land in the family?"

Everyone laughed when they heard him tease.

"No, the process is slow," Emily said. "At present, I only know that He Jing was picked up by you, and you didn't even ask if you have a girlfriend."

Lin Qiao twitched her lips, and said to He Jing beside her, "You haven't signed the labor contract yet, if you can't stand them, you can go back on your word."

He Jing shook his head in fright, which amused the female colleagues around him.

Everyone chatted and laughed while eating, saying that a male lawyer finally came to the team, and he had a lot of outstanding girls in his hands.He Jing lowered his head and ate the food on the plate, not daring to answer rashly.Fortunately, after the main course was served, the topic finally turned to Lin Qiao.

"Lawyer Lin, Mr. Xie hasn't come back from Beijing yet?" Emily asked him.

Lin Qiao was slightly taken aback: "How do you know he went to Beijing?"

"The administrator upstairs and I are best friends," Emily laughed. "To serve the two bosses well, of course we need to communicate more."

"It's less grandiose," Lin Qiao teased as he cut the lamb chops, "You miss the free afternoon tea, don't you?"

"Lawyer Lin is good or bad, don't talk about it..."

Amidst the coquettish voice, He Jing, who couldn't understand, also smiled beside him at the right time.

The atmosphere at the lunch was very good, probably because Lin Qiao was young, and his team was much more relaxed than that of He Jing.

After eating, He Jing made an appointment with Lin Qiao to go to work tomorrow, and left after saying goodbye to his colleagues in the lobby.

On the way home, as usual, the subway was transferred to the light rail. Looking at the scenery outside the light rail, He Jing thought of the embarrassing night a few days ago, and suddenly felt like a lifetime away.

Mountain darkly, vista.

"Things are indeed impermanent, but not always bad changes..."

Thinking of Han Zhao's appearance when he said this to him, He Jing couldn't help raising the corners of his lips.

■

"Honey, where are you?"

He Jing didn't see Han Zhao when he got home, so He Jing sent a cheap message.

Soon there was an echo from the phone.

"Go to work, come back at night, how was the interview?"

He Jing embraced the cat with one hand, and lay on his back on the sofa holding the phone in the other.

"Hey, come back and tell you."

When Han Zhao opened the door and entered the room, the light in the living room was not turned on, only a black shadow and a group of white shadows rushed towards him from a corner of the living room.

Before he had time to close the door, he hugged He Jing who rushed over, and kissed his forehead.

"Why don't you turn on the light?"

"While surfing the Internet...waiting for you..." He Jing raised his head to find his lips, and said intermittently between kisses, "I didn't notice that the sky was getting dark..."

Fearing that the cat would run out, Han Zhao hooked the door with his foot, and after a while with He Jing, he stretched out his hand and turned on the light.

"Meet the new boss?" Han Zhao asked as he sat down on the sofa, "Are you satisfied?"

"I couldn't be more satisfied." He Jing kicked off his slippers, turned and knelt down beside him: "The new boss is the youngest partner in our firm. When I was kicked out of the office last week, he sent me to the subway station. Then He happened to be recruiting, so he asked HR to notify me."

"Did the salary negotiation go well?"

"Yeah, the standard contract for a first-year lawyer, the monthly salary is [-] before tax." He Jing's eyes flashed, "I'll go to work tomorrow."

"It's very generous. It's not bad for the new assistants in our office to earn [-] yuan a month." Speaking of this, Han Zhao pinched his face. "By the way, I always forgot to ask, which office are you in?"

"Hewei," He Jing put his arms around his neck, "Didn't I say that?"

Han Zhao froze: "No."

"The boss invited the whole group of colleagues to have dinner together at noon," He Jing continued, "Although the colleagues are all women, I can't understand the gossip, but they all seem to be easy to get along with."

Han Zhao in front of him looked over his shoulder and fixed on the open laptop screen not far away on the desk.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken to him for a long time, He Jing followed his gaze and looked back suspiciously.

"Ah, this is my new boss, isn't he young?" Pointing to Lin Qiao's photo on the website, He Jing said, "His name is Lin Qiao, I just checked, and it turns out that he has done many big projects of listing and mergers and acquisitions." , from this point of view, at least thirty?"

Han Zhao still looked at the screen and didn't answer him.

"I heard from a colleague that he just got married." He Jing turned around and gently rubbed Han Zhao's face, "His wife..."

"Let's go out to eat," Han Zhao interrupted him, "to celebrate."
