Li Tangyan went back and thought about it, figuring that Wen Zhaonian might really be short of talent and that's why he approached her.
After all, given his personality, he wouldn't do something like settling personal scores.
In addition, it was only half a month, which passed in the blink of an eye.
With that in mind, Li Tangyan didn't hesitate and replied to Wen Zhaonian that very evening.
Little did she know that after only two days at the law firm, Li Tangyan's initial idea was ruthlessly shattered.
At this moment, she seriously suspected that Wen Zhaonian had lured her here just to settle a personal score.
It's the kind of job where you do manual labor.
From pouring coffee to following him around everywhere.
Aside from the time she spends resting at home, Li Tangyan feels no different from Wen Zhaonian's accessory.
Take it with you wherever you go.
Fortunately, Wen Zhaonian still had some conscience left, and on Wednesday he finally gave her a chance to catch her breath.
At that moment, Li Tangyan was entering data into the computer in front of her.
Across from her, Zhou Sui had already placed her hands on the table, tilted her head, and leaned closer to her through the computer screen.
"Chestnut, aren't you going out with Attorney Wen today?"
Li Tangyan raised her eyes and soon noticed the teasing in them.
He glanced at her and chuckled, "Can't you wish me something good?"
"Even free labor shouldn't be exploited like this."
In response, Zhou Sui smiled and glanced in the direction of Wen Zhaonian's office.
With a pointed remark: "Hey, look at what you're saying. I've never seen a free laborer who needs to be with him every day."
"They usually stay at headquarters to do odd jobs, right?"
"so?"
Li Tangyan raised an eyebrow, put down what she was holding, crossed her arms, and prepared to see what else she wanted to say.
However, this only earned him a forced, exaggerated repetition of his own words.
So~
Looking at her cheeky expression, Li Tangyan was both amused and annoyed. She grabbed some snacks from the side of the bag and was about to throw them at her: "Can't you shut up with something to eat?"
However, just as his hand was raised halfway into the air, someone snatched the bag of snacks from behind.
Li Tangyan turned around and realized that Wen Zhaonian had been standing behind her at some point.
Standing next to her was Pan Le, whom she had met at the bar last time.
A hint of darkness flashed in his bright eyes, but it vanished in an instant.
Li Tangyan pouted, then reached out to take the thing back from his hand: "What are you doing? That's for my first birthday."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Zhao glanced at Zhou Sui across from him.
Qing Lingling's gaze fell on him, causing Zhou Sui to shudder inexplicably, and he immediately waved his hands.
As she spoke, she pretended to cover her face again: "I have a toothache recently, so I can't eat."
Li Tangyan was taken aback by her sudden change of words.
Then she turned back to look at Zhou Sui, smiling, but it seemed like she was speaking through gritted teeth: "Oh, how come I didn't notice just now?"
"It just hurt a moment ago."
"..."
"In that case, for the sake of your dental health, this package will be confiscated."
At that moment, Wen Zhaonian's voice rang out again.
Li Tangyan turned around, about to say something, but saw that he had already grabbed the bag of snacks and was about to walk towards the office.
Seeing this, Li Tangyan felt a pang of regret, thinking that chasing after them would seem petty. She then puffed out her cheeks and prepared to sit down again.
On the other end, Wen Zhaonian suddenly paused.
He turned around, his gaze falling on the listless figure, and as he spoke, a barely perceptible smile appeared in his eyes: "Chestnut Porridge."
"What?" Still immersed in the sadness of having her bag of snacks confiscated for no reason, Li Tangyan did not notice his form of address.
And Pan Le also looked over with a slightly scrutinizing gaze.
She turned her head and glared at him unhappily.
"Make me a cup of coffee later."
"Don't you have hands?" Li Tangyan said irritably, but at the same time she still stood up and obediently walked towards the tea room.
Behind her, Wen Zhaonian's smile deepened. After watching her turn into the other side, he turned his gaze to Pan Le and said, "Let's go."
*
When Li Tangyan brought the coffee into the office, Wen Zhaonian and Pan Le were inside discussing a recent case.
Seeing this, Li Tangyan didn't linger and left after putting down her things.
As soon as I sat down, I heard people talking quietly on the other side.
—Attorney Pan just got off the plane last night, right? I thought she would rest for a day before coming back, but who knew she went to work on a case with Attorney Wen early this morning.
—They are truly model workers.
—Hahaha, after all, a law firm's 1-to-1 ratio is just a casual remark, right?
...
Li Tangyan didn't care how the conversation gradually turned out.
All she remembered was that when she came to her senses, she saw a message that Zhou Sui had just sent.
[They haven't been here long, so they're just making things up. Don't get confused. Attorney Wen and Attorney Pan are just ordinary colleagues, nothing more.]
Seeing this, Zhou Sui's winking and gesturing expression also happened to fall into her eyes.
For a moment, Li Tangyan felt like laughing, but she still moved her fingertips and quickly typed a sentence in the chat box.
However, the content had absolutely nothing to do with what she wanted to say.
What I'm more concerned about now is when to take you to get that tooth pulled! (smiley face)
[...]
Just before she was about to leave work, Li Tangyan received a message from Zhao Ju, who said he wanted to chat with her.
Upon seeing this, Li Tangyan unconsciously frowned.
While he was still considering whether to agree, Zheng Chuanyi had already walked out of the office.
With shallow dimples on her face, she seemed to be in a good mood: "I'll pay for dinner tonight, anyone want to come?"
The work atmosphere here has always been good, so as soon as Zheng Chuanyi finished speaking, many voices of agreement quickly followed.
Zhou Sui had walked over at some point and asked, "Chestnut, want to come along?"
"I..."
Li Tangyan opened her lips, but before she could finish speaking, her gaze involuntarily fell on Wen Zhaonian and Pan Le, who had just come out together.
Her eyes flickered, but she looked away before Wen Zhaonian could look at her.
She shook her head, looking somewhat apologetic: "No, thank you. I have something to do later."
"Are you going on a date with your boyfriend?" Not far away, the girl who was discussing the pair of A's that morning had come over after hearing the voice.
She has a rather carefree personality, and since she didn't deliberately lower her voice, what she said didn't have much difficulty reaching other people's ears.
In an instant, gazes carrying different meanings quickly fell upon her.
There were many teasing remarks, and after hearing them so many times, even if Li Tangyan really wasn't going on a date, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"It's not what you think."
Li Tangyan waved her hand, but her gaze met Wen Zhaonian's in mid-air.
The cool, refreshing sensation instantly dissipated most of the heat from her face.
