Wen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat, she knew she had touched He Zhichu's bottom line …
She regretted what she had done with Gu Nianzhi, but He Zhichu hadn't said a word to her after listening to the recording. She thought she had gotten away with it, but it turned out He Zhichu was just hiding it and waiting for her.
That made sense, how could someone like He Zhichu let others see through his true intentions?
If he wanted to mess with someone, he wouldn't let anyone see the real reason or reason.
Two years ago, he had become a partner at the largest law firm in the United States at the age of 26, and not just because of his superb legal skills.
"Professor He, I was wrong." Wen Shouyi quickly stood up, "But are you going to take this job or not?"
"No." He Zhichu stood up impatiently, "What kind of messed up case is this? Assistant Wen, is it because you've been too tired lately that your work has deteriorated? Do you want me to give you a long vacation, or resign and be done with it? I can find another teaching assistant. "
Wen Shouyi's calm expression was swept away, she was suddenly panicking, she had never imagined He Zhichu would actually send her away!
"Professor He! Please forgive me this once, on account of my years of loyalty to you? "Tears welled up in Wen Shouyi's eyes, she was on the verge of kneeling before He Zhichu.
Her previous gentle composure was gone, her face was full of panic, her whole body trembling, her plump lips trembling.
He Zhichu looked at her quietly for a while, then reached out and brushed his cool fingertips over her face, wiping away a few tears. His voice was clear and slow, "Ok. But there won't be a next time. "With that, he turned to leave.
Wen Shouyi sighed deeply, her legs were so weak she could barely stand. She quickly braced herself against the corner of the desk.
She reached out to touch the spot on her face where He Zhichu had wiped away her tears, warning herself not to make any more mistakes.
She knew better than anyone else how cold-blooded He Zhichu was.
…
Gu Nianzhi happily walked out of the Faculty of Law building and rushed to Mei Xiawen, who was waiting for her under the car shed nearby. She showed him the acceptance email she had received on her phone. "Professor He has accepted me!"
"On the spot?" Mei Xiawen laughed and looked at the email on her phone. "Eh? It really is an acceptance letter from the B University Faculty of Law Graduate School of Law. Congratulations, Nianzhi! "
Mei Xiawen took the opportunity to hold Gu Nianzhi's hand, then wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into the car.
Although Gu Nianzhi was a bit uncomfortable, Mei Xiawen let go of her as soon as they were in the car. He had a good sense of propriety, but when he reached over her to fasten her seatbelt, Gu Nianzhi quickly pushed his hand away. "I'll do it myself."
Mei Xiawen didn't insist. He started the car and drove to the dormitory area, smiling as he said, "I just so happened to have booked a sumptuous hotel dinner today. We'll go out tonight to celebrate your success in the postgraduate entrance exam!"
Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Class Rep!"
As she spoke, Gu Nianzhi's phone rang. It was Yin Shixiong.
He laughed heartily and congratulated Gu Nianzhi over the phone. He also said, "… Huo Shao will be very happy to know. I've already passed the news to him."
"Thank you, Brother Xiong." Gu Nianzhi smiled.
As soon as she ended the call with Yin Shixiong, a text from Chen Lie came in. "Congratulations, Nianzhi! When you get back, Brother Chen will take you to celebrate! "
"Brother Chen will keep his word. I'll remember that." Gu Nianzhi replied.
Chen Lie immediately followed up with a text. "Of course, when has Brother Chen ever gone back on his word? Oh right, are you going back to the apartment this weekend? "
Gu Nianzhi sent a "?"
Because Huo Shaoheng wasn't in C City, Gu Nianzhi didn't want to go back to the apartment.
Chen Lie texted, "You still need to have a checkup every week for at least a month."
"Oh, got it. I'll go back this weekend. "Gu Nianzhi felt that Chen Lie was making a big deal out of nothing.
She didn't feel any discomfort, nor did she have any feelings for men. She didn't know why Chen Lie kept checking like he was facing a formidable enemy.
She pouted and put her phone away. She began chatting with Mei Xiawen. "Class Rep, aren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance exam?"
Mei Xiawen shook his head. He took out the Greek yogurt he had prepared for Gu Nianzhi and handed it to her. "My family wants me to go back and help them. I passed my law exam, so I'll be able to practice law after a year of internship."
The Mei family's business was mainly in C City. This meant that he would be staying in C City after graduation.
And Gu Nianzhi would be going to the Imperial Capital next spring for her postgraduate studies.
Wouldn't that mean they would have to split up?
Mei Xiawen seemed to know what Gu Nianzhi was thinking. He smiled. "My family is going to the Imperial Capital to expand our family business. When you go there, I'll ask my family to send me there."
She could also study with her sweetheart.
What a considerate Class Rep …
Gu Nianzhi blushed. She turned her head awkwardly to look out the window, but the corners of her lips curled up.
Mei Xiawen's car had just stopped outside Gu Nianzhi's dorm when his phone beeped. There was a text message.
[Weinan]: Class Rep, I haven't been feeling well lately … sob sob sob sob … Class Rep, I want a hug and comfort …
Mei Xiawen glanced at it and quickly answered the call. His voice was relaxed. "Weinan, you're such a tomboy. I didn't know you'd act like a little girl. Tell me, what's up? "
"Something happened to my family. Class Rep, can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back as soon as the money from my dad's business comes through! "
"No problem. Tell me, how much do you need? "
"… 150,000 will be fine. It's to pay off the bank interest. I just need to last a week."
"150,000? Ok, give me your bank account number. I'll transfer it to you. " Mei Xiawen didn't say anything else. He unlocked his phone and looked at the balance in his bank account.
The other party sent him a string of bank account numbers. Mei Xiawen swiped his finger and transferred 150,000 to the other party.
"Thank you, Class Rep!" A woman's bright and clear laughter came from the other end. She was very happy.
Mei Xiawen hung up and saw Gu Nianzhi looking at him in confusion. He took the initiative to explain. "It's my high school classmate. Something happened to her family, so she asked me to borrow some money." Gu Nianzhi opened the car door and got out. She was shocked that Mei Xiawen would borrow such a large sum of money without hesitation. "… Is it really your classmate? It's not a phone scam, is it? "
She had seen this kind of thing happen a lot on the internet.
Mei Xiawen smiled and patted her head. "Nianzhi, are you worried about me?"
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes at him. "I'm worried that you've really been scammed. Our dinner tonight is ruined again." She paused. "… How about I pay the bill tonight? I want to treat the girls in the dorm anyway."
