President, don't be arrogant!

Impossible, I must have thought too much, how could it be him.

Qiao Ran sighed lightly, shook off all the messy things in her mind, and calmed down to focus on her work.

Master is very strict, and you can't let your work attitude slacken just because you won this lawsuit.

She has no love, and if her work fails, her life will really be over.

Xu Zhiyan originally wanted to chat with Qiao Ran, but he gave up after seeing her serious work.

It seems that her ability to self-regulate is not bad, and she didn't let her personal feelings affect her work. She is a good seedling. As long as she cultivates it carefully, she will be better than blue in the future.

That little bastard really didn't cheat himself!

………………

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiao Ran has completely stabilized in the new working environment. She gets along well with her colleagues, and her work is gradually on a new track.

Because the first lawsuit was won very well, and the other two inheritance dispute cases went smoothly, and her reputation in the circle is getting better and better. No one would have thought that she would leave Lu Xiangbei's law firm. The decline has made rapid progress, not to mention that she has become Xu Zhiyan's apprentice. Now even the most senior lawyers in the whole circle will give Xu Zhiyan three points of courtesy for the sake of Xu Zhiyan's face, and will not embarrass her too much.

Some young guys like her gentleness and tenacity in court, and they will show their affection from time to time, asking her out for dinner and movies.

Qiao Ran rejected all of them without exception.

On the surface, she seems to be living well now, but she knows in her heart that there is a big hole somewhere in her body, like a black hole that cannot be filled. her soul.

Qiao Ran never thought that one day she would love a man so deeply. Back then, Chi Chengjin never made her suffer like this. It was unforgettable and hard to let go.

Only by putting herself into work can she forget the wound Lu Xiangbei brought her, forget that the thoughts from insomnia engulfed all her reason like sea water, she wished to find him, hug him, and tell him how much she loved him.

She couldn't do that because it was the only bit of self-esteem she had.

Xu Zhiyan was originally worried that she would not be able to work seriously, but now that she saw her work without sleep and food, she was even more worried. During the meal, she specially reminded her: "Although work is very important, so are your life's events. If you have good young people around you Just getting along more and making more friends is not a bad thing.”

Qiao Ran understood what he meant, and smiled faintly, "Master, I still have a lot to learn from you. I don't have time to make friends, and I don't want to waste this time."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Xu Zhiyan sighed lightly and stopped persuading her.

Qiao Ran didn't know if Lu Xiangbei was with You Lan, and she didn't want to know. Even when she met Wei Zixi, she deliberately ignored Lu Xiangbei's news.

This city is so big that two people can't meet each other even if they live in the vast sea of ​​people. This city is so small that they run in opposite directions, and when they turn around, they still see each other.

Qiao Ran met Lu Xiangbei again outside the court.

She took a case where a voluntary aid lawyer helped the workers to collect their wages. Xu Zhiyan didn't want her to take this kind of case, but she saw that the workers had worked hard for a year and couldn't get the last penny, so she really wanted to Distressed, I still took it. Although I have no money, if I have the ability to help others, why not help others.

Xu Zhiyan had no way to stop her, so he had to tell her to be careful. Generally, this kind of lawsuit is prone to accidents, and both parties are not good. Her lawyer is often the easiest target for others.

The result of the first court session was not very satisfactory, the judge temporarily adjourned the court, and they had to go back and wait for the date of the next court session to be notified.

As soon as she came out, she was surrounded by those workers.

The workers were worried that they would not get their wages, they were not in a good mood, they spoke very aggressively, and even had some physical collisions.

Qiao Ran didn't show any impatience or bad mood. Instead, she explained to them calmly and gently, reassuring them that even if she lost the case, she would appeal for them.

As soon as they heard that they might lose the lawsuit, the worker's mood became even worse, and his movements were a little too big. Qiao Ran couldn't stand firmly in his high heels, and was pushed back and forth by them, like a duckweed on the sea, unable to control himself.

Dai Mei frowned slightly, and just when she was about to calm them down, a hand in the crowd grabbed her arm and dragged her out forcefully and domineeringly.

Qiao Ran was caught off guard and crashed into a fleshy wall. When the familiar breath caught her nose, her whole body froze, and she didn't even dare to lift her head.

Lu Xiangbei looked solemn, and said in a calm voice: "This is the court, please keep quiet, and she is your lawyer, you should trust her, she hopes to win the lawsuit more than anyone else and help you get back your wages! You should treat her Be polite and respectful!"

The workers were all men in their 40s and [-]s. They were suddenly scolded, very unconvinced, and pointed to their noses and asked, "Who are you? Why are you talking to us like that! Meddle in our affairs!"

"I'm……"

"Lawyer Lu!" Qiao Ran came to her senses, pulled his hand away and took a step back, leaving his embrace, keeping a certain distance, raised her delicate face with a calm expression, her brows were cold and distant, "This is Don't bother you about the matter between me and my client!"

Lu Xiangbei frowned, and glanced at those tall and thick men, and then at her thin arms and legs. I really don't know what that old antique was thinking, and let her take such a case.

"That's me meddling in my own business." He dropped this sentence lukewarmly and walked away.

Qiao Ran's heart felt like a pinprick, and the pain was dense, and the fingertips of the arm hanging by his side pinched into the flesh of the palm, trying to maintain his composure.

I was saying in my heart not to look at him, not to care about him, but my eyes couldn't help but drift towards the back that was fading away.

He seemed to be thinner again, just glanced at him, his face was pale, as if he was not feeling well.

Is he sick?

Youlan didn't take good care of him?

Qiao Ran bit her lip hard, tasted the blood, and then came back to her senses, facing the workers' inquiries, she said softly: "Don't worry, I will be responsible for this case to the end, and I will do my best to help you settle the matter." Get back your salary, everyone go back today."

Seeing her sincerity, the workers believed her words and left one by one.

Qiao Ran's eyes looked in the same direction again.

Lu Xiangbei walked to the corner of the corridor, but he couldn't hold back after thinking about it. He took out his mobile phone and dialed the number. As soon as the call was made, the other party yelled like a machine gun, "Old man Xu, your firm is going to close down. Do you accept the case? If there is no case, you can tell me, I can introduce a lot of cases to you, what is the matter if you let her a delicate little girl hang out with a group of old men? What if she Something went wrong, believe it or not, I'll just kill you!"
