Chapter 66 Food Tasting
Nan Xuqiu walked down the stairs and looked back at Chi Jinjin's empty window.
Although they are together now.
But Nan Xuqiu always felt that there seemed to be something between them. He could clearly see her and touch her, but she seemed very far away.
Take your time...
Nan Xuqiu drove away from the residential complex where Chi Jinjin lived.
After hearing his car start, Chi Jinjin slowly walked to the balcony and watched Nan Xuqiu's car drive away.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
When Chi Jinjin opened the door, she saw two girls who were about her age.
"Hello, have you just moved here?" the girl asked.
Chi Jinjin nodded.
The two girls introduced themselves and it turned out that they were neighbors living across from her.
Seeing her move in, he came to say hello and gave Chi Jinjin a box of fruit.
Chi Jinjin hurriedly introduced herself and gave a gift in return.
"That tall and handsome guy just now, who is he to you?" Xiao Shen asked curiously.
Chi Jinjin blurted out subconsciously, "My friend."
"Oh, your friend is really handsome and a nice person. He helps you do so many things." Xiao Shen praised him.
Chi Jinjin agreed and laughed, "He is indeed a very nice person."
"Then we won't disturb you anymore. Have a good rest. Bye." Xiao Xu Yan.
Chi Jinjin nodded, "Bye."
After returning to the room, Chi Jinjin realized that she seemed to have made a wrong introduction just now. Now Nan Xuqiu was not her friend, but her boyfriend.
Sometimes she says she is used to it and she can’t change it for a while.
But it shouldn't matter.
Chi Jinjin thought to herself.
In the evening, Nan Xuqiu sent a message asking, "Have you eaten yet?"
Chi Jin Jin Hui: [I ate it.]
Nan Xuqiu: [Okay, I was thinking of ordering you some food.]
Chi Jinjin: [Have you eaten? ]
Nan Xuqiu glanced at the food on the table and replied, "Not yet."
Chi Jinjin: [Then I'll order you some food. What do you want to eat?]
Nan Xuqiu: [Anything is fine. You know I'm not picky about food.]
Chi Jinjin: [Yes, please send me the address.]
Nan Xuqiu sent her his address.
Chi Jinjin ordered a meal for him.
Chi Jinjin: [I've ordered the meal, it will be delivered shortly.]
Nan Xuqiu: [Okay.]
Nan Xuqiu stood up, took the food on the table, and gave it to the person on the bed next to him.
"Why give it to me? Don't you want to eat it?" The person next to him looked at him flattered.
Nan Xuqiu shook his head and said with a smile, "No, I'm waiting for my girlfriend's meal."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Another boy immediately said sarcastically, "Now that my girlfriend has ordered food, the food I brought doesn't taste good anymore. Forget it, I guess I don't have to bring any in the future."
At this time, Nan Xuqiu's phone rang. It was a call from the takeaway.
Their school has a rule that takeout can only be delivered to the dormitory door at most.
Nan Xuqiu went downstairs to get takeout.
When he was picking up the food, a girl from his class happened to pass by and saw him picking up the takeaway. She said with a smile, "So, you also order takeout."
"This is not what I ordered, it was ordered by my girlfriend." Nan Xuqiu smiled and walked into the dormitory building.
When the girl heard the word "girlfriend", the corners of her mouth froze, and the light in her eyes dimmed in an instant.
Chi Jinjin got up on time the next day, changed into appropriate clothes, and went to the law firm.
She cannot start work directly yet. According to regulations, Chi Jinjin must first intern for three months before becoming a formal employee.
Chi Jinjin got out of the car and came to the law firm. She looked up at the door of the law firm, let out a long sigh, straightened her clothes, and then walked in.
After entering the elevator, she suddenly froze.
She actually met Gao Yi in the elevator!
How come he is here?
Chi Jinjin wanted to get out of the elevator, but the door was closed, so she could only wait for the floor to arrive.
Gao Yi didn't say anything.
Chi Jinjin didn't say anything either.
She glanced at him and saw the same work badge as hers hanging in front of him.
Only then did she realize that Gao Yi had also applied for this law firm.
They haven't spoken since that time.
Now there were only the two of them, and the elevator was suddenly filled with a thick sense of awkwardness.
Chi Jinjin pretended nothing happened and looked down at her watch.
Finally, the floor arrival prompt sounded. Chi Jinjin felt as if she had heard the voice of salvation. As soon as the door opened, she hurried out.
Fortunately they are not on the same floor.
Chi Jinjin first met with Director Xiang, who then brought her to lawyer Wang Qing.
"Wang Qing, this is Xiao Chi. I told you, you'll be the one to teach her from now on," Director Xiang said, introducing her to Chi Jinjin. "She'll be your teacher from now on. You'll be working with her for the next three months. Lawyer Wang is one of the elite members of our law firm."
"Director, don't worry, I will take good care of her." Wang Qing stood up and said to the director with a smile.
He nodded to the director, took the old cadre's teacup and returned to his office.
Chi Jinjin bowed to Wang Qing and said, "Hello, teacher. My name is Chi Jinjin. Please take care of me in the future."
"Yeah." Wang Qing's gentle smile suddenly disappeared, and she said coldly, "Sit over there."
"Thank you, teacher." Chi Jinjin sat down stiffly in the seat she designated.
Wang Qing was typing on the keyboard without saying a word to Chi Jinjin.
Chi Jinjin could only sit aside awkwardly.
After sitting there for more than two hours, Wang Qing finally turned to her and said, "Go to the tea room over there and make me a cup of coffee."
"Okay." Chi Jinjin got up to make her coffee, but she couldn't find the coffee powder in the tea room, so she came back and asked, "Teacher, where do you put the coffee powder?"
"If I know this, can't I find it myself?" Wang Qing frowned.
Chi Jinjin could only smile awkwardly, went back to look carefully, and finally found it in a corner.
After making the coffee, Chi Jinjin brought it to her.
Wang Qing drank his coffee slowly.
Chi Jinjin looked at her notebook.
Wang Qing immediately closed his notebook and said, "Didn't anyone tell you not to look at other people's computers casually?"
"I'm sorry, teacher." Chi Jinjin apologized quickly.
She sat down on the side.
Wang Qing frowned again and said, "You came here for internship just to sit here and waste time all day? Can't you see that the teacher's desk is a mess? Can't you help tidy it up?"
Chi Jinjin hurriedly tidied it up for her.
Wang Qing looked at her busy figure, frowned and shook his head.
After finishing her coffee, Chi Jinjin cleaned up the desk. Wang Qing handed her a thick document and asked her to copy it.
When she finished copying and came back, Wang Qing was nowhere to be seen.
Chi Jinjin could only sit down on the chair and wait for Wang Qing to come back.
But this wait lasted until five or six in the afternoon.
At this time, another teacher in the institute passed by Chi Jinjin. He glanced at Chi Jinjin and asked curiously, "Classmate, you haven't finished get off work yet?"
"I, I'm waiting for my teacher." Chi Jinjin replied.
The teacher laughed and said, "What are you waiting for, teacher? She left work a long time ago. Didn't she tell you?"
Chi Jinjin shook her head.
The teacher said, "Go home, or we'll lock the door later."
"Okay, thank you, teacher." Chi Jinjin stood up and packed her things.
Why didn't she tell me?
Chi Jinjin always felt that this teacher didn't seem to like her very much, but she didn't offend her in any way.
Maybe the teacher was too busy and forgot.
Chi Jinjin, don’t think too much.
Sitting on the bus, she thought to herself.
At this time, Nan Xuqiu sent a message: [Are you off work? ]
Chi Jinjin: [Hmm]
Nan Xuqiu: [Have you eaten?]
Chi Jinjin: [No, I’ll eat it when I get home.]
After a while, Chi Jinjin arrived home. When she walked to the door, she found that Nan Xuqiu had ordered food for her.
And the timing was just right. The delivery guy arrived at the door just as she did.
Chi Jinjin took the takeaway and walked into the house, sending a message to Nan Xuqiu: [You don't have to order takeaway for me, I can cook for myself.]
Nan Xuqiu: [You're so tired every day, and you still have to cook when you get home at night. Wouldn't that make you even more tired? Wouldn't it be better to save time cooking and get more rest? Besides, I ordered takeout for another purpose.]
Chi Jinjin: [Purpose? What purpose?]
Nan Xuqiu: [Is there a box of sushi in the takeout?]
Chi Jinjin opened the bag and found a box of exquisite sushi inside.
Chi Jin Jin Hui: [Yes, there is a box.]
Nan Xuqiu: [I heard from others that this sushi place is delicious. I haven't tried it yet, so I'm not sure. I don't like it either. Why don't you try it for me? Let me know if it's good.]
Chi Jinjin understood that he wanted to treat himself as a food taster and appraiser.
However, the benefits are pretty good.
Chi Jinjin smiled, opened the box, ate a piece or two, tasted it carefully, and replied to Nan Xuqiu: "It's delicious, not greasy, and has a light fruity aroma."
Nan Xuqiu: [Got it. From now on, if there's anything you want to eat but I don't want to try, can you please try it for me?]
Chi Jinjin thought, he had helped her so much, and she was worried about how to repay him, so she could happily agree.
"Look."
Someone next to Nan Xuqiu was surprised, "The sun is rising from the west, and Nan Xuqiu isn't reading during evening study. Instead, he's quietly playing with his phone, and smiling so... charmingly."
"You don't know this, right? He's chatting with his girlfriend." said one of Nan Xuqiu's roommates.
"Girlfriend?" Another person shook his head and sighed, "Then our class, oh no, our school, will be filled with heartbreak."
A girl sitting behind him heard this. After class, she walked over to Nan Xuqiu with her book, sat down in the empty seat next to him, and asked him a question.
Nan Xuqiu gave her a brief explanation.
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Nan." said the girl.
Nan Xuqiu replied politely, "You're welcome."
"Um..." The girl asked tentatively, hesitantly, "I heard that you have a girlfriend? Is this true?"
"Really." Nan Xuqiu replied.
The girl's smile froze, and she asked again, "Which class is your girlfriend in?"
"She's not our school." Nan Xuqiu said.
"No, then... is she from a vocational school?"
Nan Xuqiu was scrolling through his phone while looking at the chat with Chi Jinjin, and replied nonchalantly, "No, she's from Fuhua."
"Oh shit, your girlfriend is from Fuhua!" Nan Xuqiu's other roommate was surprised when he heard this. He then said, "Could it be the girl who helped you carry your things last time when we were playing basketball? The one from the law department?"
Nan Xuqiu nodded, a smile on his face.
The girl asked his roommate, "Have you seen it?"
"Yes, he even drank her water back then," the roommate replied, and then questioned Nan Xuqiu, "Tell me the truth, were you in love with her at that time and had bad intentions towards her?"
The girl clenched the pen in her hand, her face a little embarrassed. She stood up and returned to her original seat.
The next day, Chi Jinjin came to the office early and helped Wang Qing sort out the messy documents on the desk.
Wang Qing arrived late and saw that her desk was neatly arranged. She asked, "Did you do all this?"
Chi Jinjin nodded.
I thought she would be happy.
But unexpectedly, the next second, Wang Qing said unhappily, "Who told you to touch my things?"
"But, yesterday, teacher, you asked me to organize your things..."
Chi Jinjin didn't expect that she would be unhappy.
Wang Qing looked speechless and said, "That was yesterday. Did I ask you to move today? I'm telling you, from now on, you move when I tell you to. If I don't tell you to, you have no right to move at all. Got it?"
Chi Jinjin nodded.
"Really? It's so annoying!" Wang Qing threw the things on the table, took the water cup, rolled his eyes at Chi Jinjin, and went to the tea room to get some water.
Chi Jinjin sighed helplessly.
Wang Qing didn't say anything to her the whole morning and even put the information on the chair. Chi Jinjin had no choice but to stand by.
It was not until the afternoon that Wang Qing asked her to copy some documents. Chi Jinjin took over and made the copies, but when she came back, she was gone.
Chi Jinjin sent her a message, but she didn't reply.
She learned from other teachers that Wang Qing had gone out to find the client and obtain evidence.
Logically speaking, at this time, the teaching teacher should take the intern to attend the class.
But Wang Qing didn't.
Chi Jinjin could only wait for her to come back in the office.
This continued for several days. Wang Qing never told her what he did and never called her after get off work.
She was not allowed to see the case materials.
Chi Jinjin could only stay in the office awkwardly all day.
Tang Shi is going to teach soon, and before leaving, he asks Chi Jinjin to go have barbecue together.
"How is your relationship with Senior Nan?" Tang Shi asked while grilling meat.
Chi Jinjin replied, "It's fine."
"What about you? Are you and Song Ci okay?" Chi Jinjin asked back.
Tang Shi sighed and said, "Song Ci and I have a good relationship, but... his family doesn't like me very much. We were planning to get married right after graduation, but now it's too late..."
"Ah? Why don't I like you?" Chi Jinjin was puzzled.
Tang Shi said, "It's all about family background. His family despises my family's low social status and wants Song Ci to be with the daughter of one of their friends. I think no matter how long this goes on, whether in ancient or modern times, in China or abroad, it will never get over the threshold."
The threshold for Tang poetry is low, so my own...
Chi Jinjin couldn't help but think of herself and Nan Xuqiu.
At this moment, she suddenly saw Wang Qing and several teachers from the institute coming over.
But they didn't notice Chi Jinjin.
The boss arranged for them to sit behind Chi Jinjin and the others, separated by a wooden roller shutter.
