He subconsciously touched his pocket, wanting to take out the business card to check, but found that he had changed his clothes and the business card was not with him. He tried hard to recall and the business card seemed to be the one with this firm.

He looked up and saw that the lights were still on in the office, but they were immediately turned off. Did the people inside get off work? Then...

Zhao Chengsu wanted to go home right after finishing her work, but after a while she felt hungry, so she wanted to go out to find something to eat, then she turned off the lights and left.

After leaving the office, I saw Xue Shaojun standing at the door.

They met again like this. Xue Shaojun smiled first. After recognizing him, Zhao Chengsu was also very surprised: "It's you? Why are you here? Are you looking for me? Did the last incident really cause you trouble?"

Zhao Chengsu was quite nervous when he realized this. He didn't even call her, so now he came to her house so late. Did he get him into big trouble?

"No, no, I just happened to be passing by here."

Just passing by?

"What a coincidence?"

"Yes, it was too boring in the army, so I came out for a walk. While walking, I came to your place. Is this where you work?" Xue Shaojun asked.

"Yes, it's where I work." Zhao Chengsu thanked him again, "Thank you so much for what happened last time. It's all thanks to you for letting me in, otherwise the consequences would be really serious."

Under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for Zhao Chengzhi to give in. If she really angered Zhan Junlin, the consequences would be very serious.

"You're welcome, it's easy."

"I was in such a hurry last time that I didn't even ask your name."

"Xue Shaojun."

"Xue Shaojun? Noted." Zhao Chengsu also hurriedly introduced himself, "My name is Zhao Chengsu, and I'm a lawyer."

"I see. You're off work so late?"

"Well, I just happened to be busy with something."

"have to go home?"

"No, I came out to find something to eat." At this point, Zhao Chengsu said, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll treat you. I'm so grateful for what you did last time. It just so happens that we met today, so I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

Did he eat?

He had actually eaten, but he didn't know why he lied.

"Not yet. I'll treat you."

"No, let's not talk about men and women eating together. Men should pay and men should speak like gentlemen. Men and women are equal now. I'm treating you to this meal simply to thank you for helping me last time. Let's not talk about anything else."

Zhao Chengsu spoke quite straightforwardly, and Xue Shaojun nodded: "Okay."

"Thank you for your kindness. What would you like to eat? I am treating you to a meal to thank you, so I will follow your taste."

"I'm fine with either. I'm not familiar with this place."

"Is that so? Then let's go to a store that's close by. The food there tastes pretty good."

"can."

Since it was nearby, there was no need to drive, so the two of them just walked there. It was a Chinese restaurant with very stylish decoration. Since Zhao Chengsu was a regular here, the waiter and the owner knew her.

"Lawyer Zhao, why are you here so late today?" The waitress said, then looked at Xue Shaojun next to her and asked, "Did you bring your boyfriend here today?"

"Not a boyfriend." Zhao Chengsu quickly explained, "Just a friend."

After hearing her explanation, the waiter smiled as if he didn't believe it, helped them set the table and left.

After the two of them sat down, Zhao Chengsu said first: "If the waiter hadn't mentioned it, I would have ignored this question. Does Mr. Xue have a girlfriend? If so, don't let her misunderstand."

"No." After Xue Shaojun answered, he also asked her, "Then you...?"

"I don't have a boyfriend either."

"Oh."

"I picked the place, you can order whatever you want to eat."

"You are a frequent customer here, and you know what is delicious here. You should order some. I can eat anything." Xue Shaojun said.

"Well, how about ordering some of the signature dishes here and having a try?"

"it is good."

After placing the order, they had to chat while waiting for the food to be served. Xue Shaojun asked first: "Being a lawyer, you must be very busy, right?"

"I'm busy at certain times. I'm very busy for a while. I'll rest when I have free time, but I still need to study more because there are some newly promulgated laws and some amendments to the previous laws that I need to absorb at any time. What about you? Last time you said you were researching weapons. This touched on my blind spot in knowledge. Are you engaged in weapons research and development?"

"Yes, it is to engage in weapons research and development, and then to carry out various improvements and upgrades on existing weapons. This is the main content of the work."

"That's a senior scientific researcher, very impressive."

"It's just a job, nothing special."

"How could that be? Developing new weapons can enhance national security. This is amazing. It's really amazing."

Xue Shaojun smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I admire you very much. My work environment is relatively closed, but yours is different. You have to meet various parties and suspects, and you have to defend them in court. You not only need to be familiar with various legal knowledge, but also have to react quickly and have careful logic. You are really amazing."

Hearing his compliments, Zhao Chengsu smiled embarrassedly: "Then I also thank you for the compliments. Okay, let's end the business compliments. Let's eat first?"

"it is good."

The meal was served and they started eating. They unexpectedly discovered that they had the same taste in food: they both liked spicy food.

Just after finishing her meal, Zhao Chengsu's phone rang. It was her mother calling.

"Hey, Mom."

"You haven't finished socializing yet?"

"It's almost over. My sister is gone?"

"Your sister and your brother-in-law left after dinner. You should hurry back. What kind of social event would require you to attend so late? It's too late. It's not safe for a girl like you to be out there."

"Got it, Mom. I'll be back right away." After putting down the phone, Zhao Chengsu said to Xue Shaojun, "My mom always treats me like a child when she calls."

"No matter how old a child is, he is still a child in the eyes of his parents. It's getting late, so shall we go?"

"Okay." Zhao Chengsu shouted to the waiter, "Pay the bill."

Zhao Chengsu paid the bill, and the two walked out of the restaurant. Xue Shaojun said, "Although this meal is to thank me, you should also reciprocate. I will treat you to dinner again when there is a chance."

"Sure." Zhao Chengsu said generously, "Then add me on WeChat. My mobile number is my WeChat ID. Do you still have the business card I gave you last time? If not, I'll give you another one now."

"It's useless. I'm still keeping it."

"Oh, okay, then we'll see you later." After saying that, Zhao Chengsu waved at him and got into the car. Xue Shaojun watched her car leave before he looked away.
