Chapter 192
Jian Li's complaint against Zhong Qiang caused quite a stir on campus.
Some people who knew about this applauded, while others thought that Jian Li was too frightening.
Those who felt that Jian Li was too unreasonable could not help but post on the BBS.
[I know Zhong Qiang deserves what he has done, but is this price too high?]
【After all, this is just a verbal dispute. Is it really necessary to escalate it to legal action?】
As soon as the post was published, the first group to appear was the stray cat protection group.
[Price? How can this be called a price? This is called backlash.]
Zhong Qiang was already despised on campus, not only because of his double-dealing, but also because of the divisive face he showed on the Internet. The club that protects stray cats on campus at Kyoto University was filled with indignation when they saw those contents.
Every year they spend a lot of time protecting cats on campus, and when some stray cats get sick, they take the initiative to contact students from the medical school to treat them.
Zhong Qiang's answer of buying some medicine to kill the stray cats undoubtedly hit the most annoying point of the community. So the members of the stray cat community started to argue on the BBS, refuting those who spoke up for Zhong Qiang.
[I think the victim did nothing wrong. Although the public backlash is inevitable, he still cannot escape the legal punishment.]
[Haha, it's not included in the file. When the person's name is changed, there will be no trace left. ]
The cost is not high, so where does the warning come from?
The light from the screen reflected in Tao Xingjian's glasses, and he silently gave a thumbs up to the person who replied.
After getting off the computer, Tao Xingjian took out his cell phone, thought for a moment, and called Jian Li.
"Xiao Li, are you free this weekend?"
Jian Li said cheerfully, "Brother Jian, I'm free!"
After more interactions, Jian Li felt that calling him brother was a bit strange, so she started to address him the same way as other junior students who knew Tao Xingjian.
Tao Xingjian stroked the mouse in his hand: "Let's meet up somewhere this weekend? I need to go over the case with you."
Jian Li responded quickly: "Okay, that's just right, my parents also said they want to treat you to a meal. Invite Cheng Yu over this weekend."
Tao Xingjian's back, which was originally leaning slightly on the chair, straightened up instantly.
Jian Li didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. But her parents were worried and insisted on discussing the case with their attorney.
Isn't this normal?
Tao Xingjian's voice remained unchanged, but his expression became more serious, which he himself did not realize.
"I'll decide the location."
"Before Cheng Yu asked your parents to take care of him, it should have been us who treated them to dinner." Tao Xingjian said very quickly.
Jian Li refused several times but failed to turn it down.
Tao Xingjian showed his strength in this matter: "How about this, I am familiar with this place, can we set it on Saturday night?"
Jian Li said helplessly: "Okay."
My parents will return to Taocheng on Monday.
Tao Xingjian hung up the phone and opened the closet.
Soon, his roommate looked at his pager in confusion and picked up the phone.
"What? You said you wanted to go shopping for clothes?"
My roommate looked at the sky outside and said, "No, man, it's Beijing right now. It won't be long before we buy summer clothes. Why would you buy clothes now?"
The temperature this year is a bit strange. It is almost April, but the cold snap is still here. The spring and autumn in the capital are always short, so many college students would rather buy fewer clothes and hold on until it is warm after May Day.
It was unknown what Tao Xingjian said, but his roommate looked as if he had seen a ghost. He silently agreed and hung up the phone.
Another roommate who was writing furiously asked casually: "Why did Lao Tao suddenly think of buying clothes?"
During his college years, Tao Xingjian rarely paid attention to his clothes except for those bought by his parents.
The roommate who answered the phone: "...He said he had an important meeting this weekend."
"What meeting? Interview?"
Isn't this kid doing well? He got an internship at a prestigious firm before he even graduated, and his future looks bright.
The roommate who answered the phone had a mysterious look on his face: "I think... this guy must have a lucky star moving."
"Huh?" This speculation was greeted with a roll of the eyes: "I would rather believe that Tao Xingjian wants to change jobs."
College is four years, and this kid took a year off.
During the five years, Tao Xingjian had never been in love. How could such a man find love?
It’s fake, it’s fake, it must be fake.
******
On Saturday night, Jian Li and her parents arrived at the agreed place early.
Tao Xingjian had already arrived, and Cheng Yu looked at his brother with suspicion. Today, Tao Xingjian was wearing a black coat, his glasses were off, and his hair was neatly combed. He didn't look as daunting as before, but a safe and reliable person who followed the rules.
Cheng Yu held her chin and looked around, and came to the conclusion that something was wrong with her brother.
It was the first time for Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei to meet Tao Xingjian. After exchanging greetings, they sat down.
Inspector Tao handed over the menu: "The dishes here are more homely. I'm worried that you two might not be used to the local specialties, so I've chosen more fusion dishes."
Wang Mengmei took the menu and was quickly attracted.
For someone working in the catering industry, many of the dishes on this menu are something Wang Mengmei has never seen before.
"Thank you for your trouble."
As she spoke, Wang Mengmei looked at Jian Li. It was like she was teaching someone to "look at other people's children".
Jian Feng and Tao Xingjian chatted casually. No matter what Jian Feng said, Tao Xingjian could always add a few words.
Before the food was even served, Jian Li and Cheng Yu felt bored.
Tao Xingjian: "There is ice cream and fruit in the lobby."
The two girls went out hand in hand and each ordered a scoop of ice cream.
Cheng Yu licked it a few times, but couldn't help saying, "I think my brother has been acting strange lately."
Jian Li: "Why is it strange?"
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "He really cares about his image recently! The day before yesterday, I saw several bags piled up in his room. They were all filled with new clothes. Not only new clothes, he also had his shoes polished and bought perfume. He even went to get a haircut yesterday!"
Cheng Yu found it unbelievable.
Most of the time her brother would wear whatever clothes were available. His parents would often go abroad and occasionally buy him some clothes, but he didn't care what the brand was and would just put them on.
Cheng Yu found it unbelievable that such a person would suddenly spend time on his image.
Jian Li ordered a chocolate-flavored ice cream and ate it absentmindedly: "It's not a big deal, maybe your brother is in love recently?"
Cheng Yu flatly denied: "Impossible!"
"Who is so blind as to fancy him?"
Others thought Tao Xingjian was good in every way, but Cheng Yu always thought his brother was a bad guy.
Jian Li finished a ball of ice cream, smacked her lips and wanted another one: "Why not? Your brother is very famous in our school."
Just from what Jian Li knows, there are two or three people who haven't given up and are still pursuing someone.
Tao Xingjian was good-looking, had good grades, and came from a good family. It was no surprise that someone liked him when all these factors were put together.
Cheng Yu suddenly became uncertain. She stood there hesitantly, with the ice cream in her hand half melted and she had no appetite to eat it.
After a while, she finally started to wonder, "He didn't even tell me that he was in love?"
Jian Li couldn't understand the love-hate relationship between two children who were not only children. She patted her best friend on the shoulder and said, "They will talk sooner or later. They are probably in love right now. It's normal."
Cheng Yu stopped talking.
The two of them went to order some fruit and each returned to the room with a cup of ice cream.
In just a dozen minutes, Tao Xingjian was already chatting enthusiastically with Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei.
Jian Feng was chatting enthusiastically and asked Tao Xingjian: "Can you have a couple of drinks?"
Tao Xing paused and said, "Yes."
Jian Feng didn't go too far and opened a bottle of red wine.
Jian Li secretly asked her mother: "What did you talk about?"
Wang Mengmei still had a smile on her face: "Speaking of finding a lawyer, your father and I originally wanted to find a consultant. The prosecutor said it was not a big deal and that he would contact us when he returned to Taocheng and help us check if there were any omissions."
In recent years, the scale of their business has grown a bit, and sometimes it is inevitable to encounter some malicious people.
The small business owners around me have also suffered a lot of losses because they don’t understand the law.
Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei discussed it and decided not to save money on this. But after consulting the price of a legal consultant, they couldn't help but hesitate.
Now it's all right, Tao Xingjian's reputation as a Beijing Dafa student is still loud and clear. Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng immediately had a very good impression of him.
Wang Mengmei: "Cheng Yu's parents really taught her well. Both Yu Yu and Xiao Jian are very sensible."
Jian Li bit into the watermelon with a crunching sound: "That's what I said. I'm also very sensible."
When it comes to Tao Xingjian, Jian Li feels a little jealous of the gifted one.
As the mother and daughter were talking, Tao Xingjian's ears gradually turned red.
By the end of the dinner, Jian Feng had heard a definite word from Prosecutor Tao, and he knew that the boy who spread the rumor would be severely punished sooner or later.
Jian Feng's mood improved.
"Please take care of Xiaoli's matter. When you return to Taocheng, please come to my house as a guest."
Tao Xingjian looked calm and said, "Okay, you and Auntie will go home the day after tomorrow. Be careful on the road and have a safe trip."
Even after getting into the taxi, Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei kept praising Prosecutor Tao Xing for his generosity to Jian Li.
Little did he know that after the car drove out of sight, Tao Xingjian called his sister back home.
Cheng Yu: "...Brother, I'm here."
What are you calling "sister" to a crooked tree?
Tao Xingjian's eyes were filled with mist, and the redness of his ears spread to his neck. From his neck, the redness spread all the way down and disappeared into his black half-high collar cashmere sweater.
Without turning around, Tao Xingjian patted the crooked tree and said, "Look at you. What's wrong with you again? Let's go."
Cheng Yu:!!!
After dragging his half-drunk brother into the car, Cheng Yu was speechless.
You dare to drink when you can’t drink, what a pretentious brother!
*****
Jian Li returned home with her parents, but suddenly received a call from Chen Lanyu, saying that there was a group assignment to be handed in.
So I rushed back to school without stopping.
Downstairs in the dormitory, she saw a familiar person.
"... Kong Fei?"
Kong Fei's heart was in his throat.
When he went back home for the Chinese New Year this year, his mother asked him what he really thought. Kong Fei hesitated for a long time, and finally told his mother before school started that he still liked Jian Li.
Lin Hui was so upset that they couldn't make it: "If you like it, just go after me!"
Kong Fei was scolded by his mother. When school started again, he learned his lesson and prepared to take action.
After not seeing each other for several months, Jian Li saw Kong Fei again, but she didn't think much about it and thought he was looking for someone else.
Kong Fei clenched his fists and then unclenched them, mustering up his courage: "Well, I came to see you... some classmates from our high school said we want to get together and climb the Great Wall next weekend."
Kong Fei looked at Jian Li expectantly: "Are you going?"
