comet tail

!I'm already 22!Don't keep using this to perfuse me! "

Her roar made Jiang Li tremble involuntarily, and he couldn't help but cast a glance at Lin Zixin beside him. The little girl pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows so angry, but her slightly red eyes were full of tears. The stock is stubborn and wronged, which inexplicably makes people feel unbearable.

Feeling guilty and guilty, she had to admit that Lin Zixin was right to scold her. She always used the "age" as an excuse on her face, but in the end, the word "age" was just something she found for herself. An excuse that doesn't work.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the little girl through the car window, making her menacing expression look so vivid that it made my heart feel soft and painful.

Jiang Li suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Lin Zixin had stood so stubbornly in the sunset, and standing opposite her at that time, he suddenly felt ashamed.

The hand holding the steering wheel couldn't help but tighten, Jiang Li lowered his voice and apologized sincerely.

Lin Zixin didn't expect her to do this, she was a little surprised, but in the end she didn't want to be unreasonable.

It's just that the atmosphere is dead, the two seem to have their own thoughts, and no one speaks again along the way.After Jiang Li sent her to the school gate, Lin Zixin suddenly stopped her when she got off the car and was about to walk inside.

Lin Zixin turned to look at her. Although she was no longer angry, her expression was still a little unhappy.

"You really don't plan to come to my class?" This was said in a joking tone, but Jiang Li's expression was not relaxed, and even vaguely begged.

Although Lin Zixin's heart softened a bit, she finally nodded sullenly and squinted at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li struggled for a while with his head lowered, finally sighed helplessly, and took care of him: "If you really just want to accumulate some social experience, I have nothing to say, but in BAE, there are some things, don't be too curious."

Lin Zixin watched her majesty go away, and couldn't help snorting——some things, the more you stop them, the more you want to explore them.

Jiang Li at the other end returned home, ate something casually, and then turned on the computer to write a report, but the more she tried to type, the more she lost her mind, which made her a little annoyed. She pushed the computer, hugged Folding his arms, he leaned back on the sofa depressedly, lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking, and finally let out a little irritated and resigned: "Really, it's not easy to worry about!"

Then he felt sullen for a while, then slowly picked up the phone and dialed Luo Ning's number.

The "beep" on the other end rang a few times and was picked up. Luo Ning's steady voice came from the receiver.

"Teacher," Jiang Li called out, paused, seemed to be hesitant, but in the end, he was a little embarrassed and asked, "If the case with BAE is settled, can I be held responsible? "

Luo Ning was silent for a while, and said: "I asked you to talk first today. The original intention is to take advantage of your relationship with BAE. If the negotiation is successful, of course you will be allowed to participate."

One is "responsible" and the other is "participation". Comparing the two, the difference is obvious.

Jiang Li paused.

In fact, it is more than just a big company, and the power relationship in the academy is not necessarily that simple.Jiang Li's academic background is not the most gorgeous, she knows that Luo Ning actually took some effort to introduce her to her college, presumably she borrowed some of the same excuse from BAE to talk about cooperation, and just let her play a role in this matter It takes a while, but if you really want to give it to her completely, it is not something that Luo Ning alone can be in charge of.

"Is there any special reason?" Out of concern for the students, Luo Ning still asked.

Jiang Li bit his lower lip, and finally shook his head lightly: "Forget it, teacher, just pretend I didn't mention it. Oh, today Steve and I..."

Taking advantage of the situation, she changed the topic. After all, it was difficult for her to speak out because she was worried about Lin Zixin.

What's more, she thought about it carefully. Lin Zixin is just an intern. Although she is at the bottom of the biological chain, to be honest, she can't be regarded as a link in the biological chain, so...how can she really be caught? Well, on the contrary, it would be nice if she could go back to school honestly.

only……

"She probably won't know." After hanging up the phone, Jiang Li sighed somewhat consolingly.

Lin Zixin went home on weekends.

Lin's family is actually in the city, and she was quite diligent in going back when she was an undergraduate, compared to the fact that she went back less frequently after she was a graduate student.

As soon as she entered the door, Mother Lin greeted her with exaggerated strides. While complaining aggrievedly, "You can still remember to come back", she took her daughter's hand and looked up, down, left, and right. She was dissatisfied. Frowning: "I've lost weight, Mama Zhang, is the chicken soup in the kitchen ready?"

"Oh, Mom, I don't want to drink chicken soup." Lin Zixin immediately refused with a frown.

Lin's mother ignored her and pushed her on the sofa. At this time, Zhang's mother brought out the chicken soup efficiently. Lin's mother took it, and forcefully handed it to her: "No bargaining, drink it up. "

Lin Zixin had no choice but to take it and drink it with a bitter face, but said in her heart, "That's why I don't bother to come back, and cook something I don't like to drink every time."

After drinking the soup bitterly and bitterly, she asked about the arrangements for the elder brother's birthday party in the evening. Lin Zixin used the excuse that she still had a thesis to write, and Shi Shiran went upstairs to avoid further nagging from her mother.

Back in the bedroom, she casually threw the backpack on the bed, and the whole person jumped on it.She buried her head in silence for a while, then got up, and took out the magazines in her bag one by one—all outdated periodicals she had borrowed in the BAE reference room.

These periodicals were scattered with some articles about Jiang Li or Xie Canglan. Lin Zixin discovered a very strange phenomenon when searching on the intranet. The two were clearly in the R&D center, but they never appeared in the same room. In this article, there seems to be some... the feeling that the parties involved are deliberately avoiding

There is a small interview about Jiang Li in the book at hand, and there is a small mention of the years when she was still at the headquarters, and it is mentioned very implicitly, "A colleague who also came back from the headquarters gave me a lot in the first time. Help and support, no matter what, I am grateful to her."

This is very intriguing.According to the timeline in Rickey's few words, Jiang Li and Xie Canglan knew each other when they were at the headquarters. Although there are quite a few people who were transferred from the headquarters to the Asia-Pacific region together, the only ones who can accurately deserve the word "come back" are those who are also from this country. Jiang Li and Xie Canglan from the city.

So, they had a very good relationship for a while.When this conclusion appeared in her mind, Lin Zixin felt a little sour for some reason.

So when Lin Ziyan knocked on the door and came in, he saw the younger sister lying on the bed, holding a book in both hands, but she had an angry expression on her face.

"Why are you so unhappy to go home?"

"How come, big brother's birthday, of course I'm going to come back to celebrate. Oops, I forgot to buy a gift, what should I do!"

Lin Ziyan walked over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and replied, "Your return is the greatest gift. What are you looking at?"

While talking, the elder brother went to get the magazine on the bed, "BAE? We have an agreement with them.".

Lin Ziyan didn't think there was anything special at first, on the contrary, he was a little surprised that his younger sister would care about these things. The Lin family has a strong family background, and they have connections in politics and business, but Lin Zixin has never been interested in these things.

Until he suddenly saw the cover of one of them, he was a little surprised, "Huh?", paused, and asked a little uncertainly, "This isn't the one you had in junior high school..."

Lin Zixin glanced at it, and it was Jiang Li who was on the cover, so she nodded with a bit of resentment: "Well, it's her, hmph, I won't let her escape this time!"

Lin Ziyan smiled wryly at first, then patted his younger sister's head indulgently, and said, "Yes, yes, whatever my Zi Xin likes, I can't get it, what do you want my brother to do?"

"Uh..." Lin Zixin actually thought about it seriously, then smiled slyly, "There will be."

Tentative

"Ah!"

Holding the coffee cup in her hand, Jiang Li sneezed for the third time in about 10 minutes. She took a tissue and wiped it off, thinking to herself: Is that guy talking bad about me behind my back?

Lin Zixin's sweet smile appeared in front of Shuran's eyes, Jiang Li shook his head, but the smile on his face was vaguely sweet.

It was raining heavily outside, more and more people went into the coffee shop to hide from the rain, and gradually, there were not enough seats.

"Miss, I'm sorry to bother you, but are you alone here?" the clerk wearing a red apron asked politely.

"Uh, yes."

"Then, can I share a table with this young lady?"

"Oh, yes... En?" Originally agreed casually, when Jiang Li turned his head and saw the person following behind the clerk, he was slightly taken aback.

The lady clerk over there had already arranged for him to sit, and she ordered a glass of double expresso as usual, with a calm expression, as if Jiang Li who was sitting across from her was just a stranger.

Tsk, really...

Jiang Li smiled wryly in his heart, but remained calm, drinking his cup of latte quietly.

There is a slight "pop" sound of raindrops hitting the glass windows, mixed with the background music of the coffee shop, which makes people feel a bit bleak for no reason.

I don't know how long it took, but the person on the opposite side suddenly spoke, the voice was so clear that Jiang Li almost missed it.

"I didn't expect you to teach."

Jiang Li held his chin in one hand, looked at the liquid in the cup, and said with a relaxed tone, "There is always something to do."

"Yeah, no matter
