After hanging up the phone, Li Lin felt more relaxed than ever before.

He took a deep breath, as if to dispel the haze that had accumulated in his heart.

He didn't understand what Chu Yao wanted to express by calling.

It's over, it's over. He no longer has any expectations for this relationship...

So what if her father is the vice governor? Don't give me charity, and I won't flatter you.

I have been busy with work since I came to the provincial capital and have no time to contact my college classmates.

Today was a free day for him, so he took out his cell phone and called his college classmate and roommate Lu Tao.

"Hey Taozi, what are you busy with?" Li Lin's face was full of smiles, and his voice was full of kindness and expectation.

Lu Tao never expected that Li Lin would suddenly call him, and replied in surprise, "Damn, why did you think of calling me? I thought you forgot about me, a little lawyer, after you became the township secretary."

There was an undisguised excitement in Lu Tao's voice, as if he was pleasantly surprised by the sudden appearance of an old friend he hadn't seen for years.

"Don't be so joking. You are still a young lawyer. Who in the whole Hanjiang River doesn't know your law firm? Who doesn't know the name of your top lawyer Lu Tao... Where are you? Let's meet and chat later?"

Li Lin smiled, his eyes sparkling with joy as he recalled every moment he spent with Lu Tao in college.

When he just graduated, he interned at Lu Tao's office.

Speaking of this, Li Lin was still grateful to Lu Tao.

At that time, the employment pressure was great and it was impossible to find a job. It was Lu Tao who took the initiative to invite him to work in his office.

Moreover, Lu Tao knew that Li Lin's family was average, so he took special care of him and took him along whenever there was a case.

During that half year, I made a lot of money with him.

Lu Tao laughed loudly on the other end of the phone and said happily, "I'm in the office. Where are you now? I'll come find you."

Lu Tao's laughter is hearty and sincere, making people feel his inner joy.

"Dongsheng Hotel."

"Oh, you are doing well now, you are staying at Dongsheng Hotel? Are you making dirty money? Let me tell you, if you are in the political circle, you will be caught if you try... I don't have to visit you in prison when I want to see you... Hahaha..."

Lu Tao joked that although it was a joke, he knew very well that Li Lin had an upright character and would never do anything illegal.

"I'm a township-level cadre. Even if I want to be corrupt, I don't have the platform. This hotel belongs to my friend, so I don't have to spend any money." Li Lin said with a smile, his tone relaxed and natural.

However, this seemingly casual answer surprised Lu Tao. The background of Dongsheng Hotel is not simple. It is not easy for Li Lin to get connected with it!

The two chatted for a few words and hung up the phone.

Lu Tao immediately left the office and rushed to Dongsheng Hotel to meet Li Lin.

Roughly speaking, the two haven't seen each other for several months.

Lu Tao is a native of the provincial capital. He grew up in a wealthy family. He is fair-skinned and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. It is obvious that he comes from an educated family.

He always dresses fashionably and appropriately, and exudes confidence and composure in his every move.

When the two met, they hugged each other excitedly, asked each other about their recent situation, and chatted enthusiastically.

"Xiao Lin, how is your work in the countryside?" Lu Tao patted Li Lin on the shoulder and asked with concern.

"Although it's a bit busy, it's very fulfilling. How about you, is the business at the law firm going well?" Li Lin replied with a smile.

"Haha, it's still the same as usual. I'm very busy, but I also enjoy it." Lu Tao said with a smile.

There was no point in staying in the hotel, so Lu Tao suggested going to his alma mater, Hanjiang University.

"Let's go. I heard that the school has been expanded and a lot of new buildings and facilities have been added. Let's go around and reminisce about the past." Lu Tao said with a smile, his eyes full of nostalgia for the past.

The two used to go to their alma mater together to hang out, not to reminisce about the past, but to see the long legs of the pretty schoolgirl...

Li Lin did not refuse. Instead, he was quite interested in the expansion of his alma mater and wanted to see what changes had taken place in his alma mater.

After that, the two of them went downstairs together.

Lu Tao drives a top-of-the-line off-road vehicle, and you can tell just by looking at its appearance that this car is very expensive.

The smooth lines and shiny paint all demonstrate luxury and quality.

Hanjiang University is located in the East District University Town, and the two drove there in more than 20 minutes.

As soon as I got off the bus, I saw the main entrance of the university and young students coming in and out.

Their youthful faces and energetic figures made Li Lin and Lu Tao sigh that time flies and youth is gone!

The two chatted casually along the school sidewalk. Without the pressure of work and life, they both felt relaxed and comfortable at the moment.

Perhaps because the two were dressed too formally, the younger students mistook them for teachers from the school and kept their distance from them.

The two walked into the library side by side and were just about to find an empty seat to sit down and rest.

Behind a bookshelf right in front of me, a female student with a ponytail was standing on tiptoe looking for a book.

For some unknown reason, the bookshelf suddenly tilted, and the books on the shelf fell down like an avalanche, and it was dangerous.

Li Lin was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed forward, grabbed the girl's shoulders and took her away from the danger zone.

His movements were swift and decisive, demonstrating extraordinary reflexes.

As soon as the girl was taken away, the entire bookshelf collapsed and heavy books fell down...

If you were a step late, you might get hit by the books.

The girl was still in shock and her face was pale, but she was also feeling lucky. If someone hadn't pulled her back, she would have been buried under the pile of books at this moment, with disastrous consequences.
