On the same day, Cheng Yao almost lost her mind and went home. She entered Qian Heng's WeChat dialog box one after another, and then exited again. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
With Li Chengxuan's business card in hand, Cheng Yao picked it up and put it down again.
There was a vague decision in her heart.
She can't indulge in Qian Heng's fantasy and love for a long time, just like boiling a frog in warm water, after a long period of gentle wind and light rain, a person loses the fighting spirit to break through.
And at this time, Qian Heng's video invitation was sent over.
"I'm going back to China tomorrow." Qian Heng just opened his mouth when he realized something was wrong with Cheng Yao. He frowned and his voice became tense, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable or something happened?"
Hearing Qian Heng's familiar and deep voice, Cheng Yao wanted to cry for a moment, but she finally held back.
"Qian Heng, let me ask you, are you really absolutely not going to get married?"
Qian Heng was obviously relieved: "I thought something happened to you." He smiled, "I won't get married, I promise not to get married, there will never be such a thing as getting married halfway..."
"Then if I don't get married, I will break up with you. Are you still not married?"
Qian Heng's voice was very firm: "You won't break up with me." He looked at Cheng Yao with a confident and handsome smile, "You like me so much, you won't be willing to break up with me."
Cheng Yao pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.
"Marriage doesn't do any good. It's just a formality, it's totally unnecessary. You're too young to understand."
"Qian Heng, I want to get married."
"No, you don't want to." The straight man Qian Heng didn't realize the unusualness in Cheng Yao's tone at all, and he said calmly: "Whether marriage is for men or women, it is essentially a kind of exploitation, and people can't be completely for themselves. People have to accommodate another person, and while forming a community of interests, they have to give up some of their own persistence."
"I'm different from you. I believe in love, and I believe in marriage. Two people live together for a long time, and they must adjust and adapt, and they must put away their thorns. But I don't think that marriage will destroy a person's freedom, and it will also destroy one's freedom. It will not limit a person's personality and development. I don't think marriage is the grave of love."
Qian Heng smiled: "Cheng Yao, don't try to convince me, you can't beat me in this matter of debate. Your thinking is too naive."
After Qian Heng finished speaking, he actually took on the posture of arguing in court. What Cheng Yao said, he immediately refuted it logically and clearly from the subjective and objective levels...
Simply unreasonable!
The recent pressure, confusion, panic and grievances poured on Cheng Yao, and she was simmering with anger, while Qian Heng on the phone was still predicting that the marriage system would die by the end of this century, and Cheng Yao was about to explode. .
"Qian Heng, do you know a popular saying in our usual school?"
Qian Heng did not suspect him: "En?"
"You become stronger, but you also become bald."
Qian Heng said relaxedly: "Don't worry, I have lush hair, and I will never go bald. No matter how strong I am, I won't go bald."
"No, that's not what I want to give you." At this moment, Cheng Yao calmed down, and she said with a blank expression, "You have become stronger, and you have become single."
Qian Heng:
"I hereby inform you that you have been laid off."
"what?"
"I am so naive, I don't deserve to be with you who are thoughtful. From today onwards, you will be free again. You don't have to worry about being forced into marriage by me in the future, and you don't have to worry about me plotting you to have children. As my boyfriend, you have been expelled." !"
Qian Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned slightly: "Do you think that if you don't marry a DINK, the woman is at great risk? I've already considered this issue, and I'm going to buy it for you in your name after I return to China." A villa, so that you don’t have to worry about the future. In addition, regarding the child, you don’t have to worry about having an abortion or taking contraceptives frequently. Although my protection measures are in place, it’s true that I can’t guarantee contraception 100% .So I thought about it, I can have a sterilization, so that I will never have children, and you don't have to worry about me suddenly changing my mind and looking for someone else to have children in the future... "
"Qian Heng, didn't you understand? Then I'll say it again, I'm quitting!" Cheng Yao said with a stern face, "I'm officially telling you that you were dumped by me."
Qian Heng obviously did not accept this rhetoric, his face showed a bit of helplessness and connivance, as if Cheng Yao was playing petty temper: "Stop making trouble, I have been on a business trip for a long time this time, and I will compensate you when I return home. I can ask for annual leave to accompany you. Do you want to go to the beach? Take you there." There was some noise around him, "It's about to board the plane, wait for me to come back, be good."
What's the fuss, Cheng Yao thought, I don't know where Qian Heng got the confidence that he wouldn't dump him? It's time to give him a socialist beating!
Different paths do not conspire with each other, I want to get married, but Qian Heng does not, I like children, Qian Heng even wants to have a sterilization, can this kind of boyfriend stay for the New Year regardless
Almost as soon as he hung up Qian Heng's video call, Cheng Yao picked up Li Chengxuan's business card and called the other party: "Lawyer Li, I'm Cheng Yao, and I just want to ask you what you said last time. ?"
…
—
Cheng Yao never thought that she would handle the whole process of breaking up and job-hopping within half a day. Li Chengxuan agreed with her "repentantly repenting and abandoning the dark and turning to the bright", and after scolding Qian Heng again, he made a heart-warming offer to Cheng Yao.
"Your salary will be doubled, and the year-end bonus will also be increased. In addition, you will be assigned an independent office. Although your qualifications cannot teach other lawyers at present, you will be assigned two interns. Is there any way to copy documents and bind case files? Live, you just order them."
Li Chengxuan is indeed very sincere: "Although our BRICS is smaller than Junheng and we don't generate as much income as Junheng, we cherish every good lawyer very much. We don't care about seniority. Whoever has the ability will win. You did it before. I have paid attention to several cases. In terms of ability, there is no problem at all. In our small law firm, although there are not as many cases as Junheng, the advantage is that it is easy to get promoted to par here, and you have to work hard. , In a few years, if the income reaches the standard, I can also be promoted to PAR." When Li Chengxuan said this, he remembered something, "Before we, Liang still jumped to Junheng, so we just joined a new partner, you should know him, Gu Beiqing, You graduated from the same school."
Cheng Yao was surprised that Gu Beiqing also jumped to BRICS, but she was very pleasantly surprised. She hung up Li Chengxuan's phone and called Gu Beiqing again. The three of them made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow night.
—
After doing all this, Cheng Yao began to write the resignation letter.
She really turned on the computer and typed the words "Resignation", and the real feeling of resignation finally swept over her. For a while, Cheng Yao had mixed feelings. She liked Junheng and loved this group, but now job-hopping may be the only breakthrough for her career development.
I and Qian Heng have too much disagreement about marriage and future. Qian Heng is unwilling to change the principle, and Cheng Yao is unwilling to force herself to accommodate. If this continues, instead of exhausting the last trace of love in constant quarrels, it is better to make a decision immediately. broken.
Once he broke up with Qian Heng and continued to stay in Junheng, it would be really embarrassing to see him all day long. Liang is still full of hostility towards him, and Cheng Yao has already suffered a dark loss in Wu Jie's case, so he continues to stay at Junheng, is it waiting for Liang to sharpen his sword
Although resignation and job-hopping were done in one go, Cheng Yao did not make the decision impulsively, and she had a lot of consideration in her heart before.
Most of Junhengli's colleagues are still very friendly to him, but after Liang Yiran's operations in waves, and the deliberate instigation of Li Meng and others, I am afraid that more and more people will feel that they are only relying on Qian Hengli. Achieved.
Cheng Yao is a strong person, she doesn't want to be Qian Heng's accessory. She doesn't want to be introduced ambiguously as "Qian Heng's girlfriend" or "Qian Heng's ex-girlfriend" when people mention it. She is her, her own sun, and she doesn't need to rely on anyone's light.
Jumping out of Junheng is a challenge and a freshman. She wants to take off the label of Qian Heng from her body so that everyone can clearly see her ability as Cheng Yao. Cheng Yao has to take all the grades in an upright manner.
—
Cutting through the mess quickly, Cheng Yao handed in her resignation letter to Liang Yiran almost early the next morning.
Although Liang Yiran was surprised, Cheng Yao voluntarily resigned and quit the battle. She felt a little elated in her heart, but she still pretended to stay: "Cheng Yao, you are still young, so don't be so impulsive." She beat around the bush and said, " What's more, have you discussed with Qian Heng about resigning?"
"Any decision on career development is my own business, and I don't need to report to anyone." Cheng Yao smiled and said in a calm and candid tone, "Besides, Liang Par, I have already broken up with him."
Liang was still surprised: "You two broke up?"
After she finished speaking, she realized that she regretted it, because Cheng Yao was looking at her subtly with a sarcastic expression, neither humble nor overbearing, full of aura.
Liang still wasn't surprised by Cheng Yao's resignation. She knew that with her seniority, she couldn't bear the pressure she put on her. Although I am a bit despicable in the process, in the war of love, people do not fight for themselves, whether in relationships or in life, opportunities are fleeting, and no one pays attention to humility and first-come-first-served with you. Skills are not as good as people, only to lose.
In Liang Yiran's heart, there was secret happiness and elation at last.
She brushed her hair together: "Lawyer is a very hard job, and being a partner's girlfriend is also really hard. After all, the other party doesn't have so much time to accompany you. Although I am sorry that you quit this industry, but the little girl's family, looking for It would be nice to have a stable job and relax." She smiled, "I wish you smooth sailing in the future."
Cheng Yao still smiled: "I didn't quit." Her eyes were bright, her complexion was rosy, and her whole body seemed to be glowing, "I'll see you later, I'm the opponent."
The girl in front of her was dazzlingly beautiful, and her tone was so proud that she was even arrogant. She stared at Liang Yiran: "I won't show mercy."
Even though he was a rookie with much less seniority than himself, Liang Yiran couldn't hold back the stagnation in his heart. Faintly, Cheng Yao's temperament similar to Qian Heng made her a little surprised and flustered.
—
Qian Heng returned to Junheng almost calmly. He didn't take Cheng Yao's words about breaking up on the phone seriously. Cheng Yao has such a good relationship with her, why did they break up? Probably because I haven't been with her for so long, the little girl felt wronged and acted like a baby.
Qian Heng carried a suitcase gift he bought for Cheng Yao in the United States, restrained his miss for her, and entered Jun Heng. As a result, when they arrived at the institute, they turned around and did not see Cheng Yao.
He caught someone and asked, "Where's Cheng Yao?"
Tan Ying's eyes widened, and she hesitated a bit: "Don't you know about Qian Par?"
"what?"
"Cheng Yao resigned this morning."
"..."
Qian Heng frowned, his face darkened, and his lips pursed. He took out his mobile phone and clicked on Cheng Yao's profile picture.
After writing and deleting, deleting and writing, Qian Heng, who is equivalent to RMB 166.66 infinity in one minute, deliberated for a long time, racked his brains, and spent more energy than handling a billion-dollar case before sending out the message.
"Yaoyao, I'm back. Let's have dinner together tonight? I bought you a lot of presents."
Qian Heng thought, don't ask about resignation, it will make you look impatient, just an understatement is enough. To be a man, of course you have to be calm. The woman you like is awkward, how can you be eager as a man? Of course, you must be calm, you must have the demeanor of a general, you must not change your face when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you must...
Unfortunately, as soon as Qian Heng sent this message, his mentality collapsed.
There is only this one displayed in the WeChat dialog box—
"Cheng Yao has turned on friend verification, and you are not his (her) friend yet. Please send a friend verification request first, and the other party can only chat after the verification is passed."
"..."
Qian Heng stared at the line of words in front of him, almost so angry.
Not only did you resign, but you also deleted yourself as a friend? ?
Cheng Yao, you really ate a bear's heart and a leopard's guts!
"Qian par, in fact, you are not here these days. A lot of things have happened. Cheng Yao did not resign impulsively..." Tan Ying looked at Qian Heng's face, and said cautiously but still summoned up her courage, "She just handled it. A case, but…”
…
After listening to Tan Ying's narration, Qian Heng found out in astonishment that so many things had happened to Cheng Yao these days, she didn't say anything, and carried such a huge pressure by herself.
"Did she jump to BRICS? Go find out where she is and what she is doing tonight." Qian Heng pursed his lips, glanced at Tan Ying, and added, "Don't let her know that I asked."
Tan Ying doggedly took the order and ran away.
—
Liang returned to the office after the court session, only to find that Qian Heng had already returned to China, and it seemed that he was still waiting for her. Her heart was a little sour and a little joyful, thinking that this man had a conversation with Cheng Yao, she always felt a little uncomfortable, but at this moment he was single again, which was finally a blessing in misfortune.
She smiled and spread her palm towards Qian Heng: "Bring it here."
Qian Heng:
Liang still wasn't annoyed, her eyes were bright, and her tone was subconsciously coquettish: "You are stupid, I asked you to bring me lipstick before you went abroad."
Qian Heng was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "Oh, that, I'm sorry I forgot."
So confident, so honest.
Liang was still stunned: "But I heard from Bao Rui that you bought a lot in the United States, and almost bought out the container..."
"Oh, I don't really know what Cheng Yao likes, so I bought everything." Qian Heng apologized without sincerity, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to buy for her, and I don't care about the things other people asked me to bring." Forgot all."
"..."
Liang still adjusted his emotions for a long time before he could calmly say: "Cheng Yao came to resign in the morning, you know, I heard from her that you broke up? What's going on?"
"We didn't break up." Qian Heng pursed his lips, "It was just a little awkward." He thought for a while, and added very solemnly, "We will reconcile soon."
"..."
—
Tan Ying did not disgrace her mission, and quickly reported Cheng Yao's whereabouts to Qian Heng: "Qian par, after my inquiries, Cheng Yao invited a new colleague of BRIC to have dinner at the Hutaoli western restaurant tonight."
Qian Heng nodded: "OK."
Seeing the situation, Tan Ying said, "Well... Qian par, I was wondering if I could take an annual leave recently..."
"accepted."
"Thank you Qian par!"
—
Qian Heng stayed in Los Angeles for more than half a month. After returning to China, he also accumulated a lot of work on hand. However, after Tan Ying left, he couldn't calm down. For the first time in his life, he was completely unable to enter the working state. After finally sitting down to get off work, he ignored Liang Yiran's invitation to dinner, waved his hand, dragged the box of gifts for Cheng Yao, and got into the Bentley.
The partners of Golden Bricks Law Firm and the senior lawyer Qian Heng basically knew each other. He arrived in Hutaoli early and was thinking about how to pretend to meet by chance, when the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Cheng Yao smiled picturesquely. Walking in, followed by Li Chengxuan, and...
And Gu Beiqing? !
At this moment, Qian Heng only felt the adrenaline rushing wildly. He didn't remember the principle of pretending to meet him by chance at all. He pulled away the chair and walked towards Cheng Yao.
—
Cheng Yao is in a good mood tonight. She was busy with work when she was in Junheng, so she didn't have much time to catch up with Gu Beiqing. The two of them will become new colleagues in the future, so they took the opportunity to contact each other, talking about the past few years and exchanging work and life The experience is emotional and happy, and Li Chengxuan is also very kind, interjecting a few words from time to time, and the three of them are talking and laughing.
It's just that she just opened the chair and sat down when a sinister voice suddenly sounded from behind——
"Cheng Yao."
Cheng Yao turned her head, and the person standing behind her was not her. Who was the straight male cancer boss's ex-boyfriend
"Is there a problem?"
Qian Heng was obviously choked by her cold and alienated attitude. He cleared his throat and said subconsciously: "There are a few cases that I want to discuss with you."
"Qian par, do I need to remind you? I have already resigned."
"..." Qian Heng paused, then continued, "There are a few cases that should be handed over..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yao interrupted him: "I have completed the handover of all cases. Do you have anything else to do?"
Being stared at by Gu Beiqing curiously, Qian Heng felt ten thousand upset, but for some reason, he endured it: "I am back from America."
"kindness."
Qian Heng pursed his lips: "I brought you a gift."
Cheng Yao's eyelashes trembled, but her tone was still polite: "Thank you."
"The gift comes with a suitcase." Qian Heng paused, "I brought it."
Cheng Yao finally raised her eyes this time, she glanced at Qian Heng, and finally her tone became lighter: "Thank you."
Just when Qian Heng thought she was about to say something touching, Cheng Yao's rosy lips parted slightly: "You leave the suitcase, you can go."
"..."
Fortunately, in the end Li Chengxuan couldn't stand it anymore: "Qian Heng, sit down. Although Cheng Yao has resigned, we are all in the same circle. In the future, we still need to communicate more often and help each other. We just met, why don't we eat together?" After Li Chengxuan finished speaking, he winked at Cheng Yao. Although he didn't know why, he probably guessed that Cheng Yao had some conflicts with Qian Heng, and Cheng Yao left his job to change jobs.
Qian Heng didn't hold back, and sat down unceremoniously. He pulled up a chair and sat between Gu Beiqing and Cheng Yao.
Li Chengxuan scolded Qian Heng behind his back the most, but now that he saw Qian Heng, he was also the most enthusiastic: "Come on, Qian Heng, it's a rare get-together, do you want a drink? I'll treat you tonight!"
As a result, after Qian Heng glanced at him, he turned his head to look at Cheng Yao, and he pursed his lips: "What kind of treatment will Li Chengxuan give you, I will double it, you come back."
"I will give you 20 days of paid annual leave every year, and I will agree to any other requirements. You will come back to work tomorrow."
Li Chengxuan reacted, and immediately protested: "Qian Heng! I just dug someone! What do you mean! Prying the corner of the wall in front of me?!"
Qian Heng took a cool look at Li Chengxuan: "She is mine in the first place, there is no such thing as prying the wall."
Gu Beiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at Qian Heng: "Could it be that Junheng is slavery? It's just a job, and you have signed a contract of sale? Everyone's career plan is different. Cheng Yao thinks clearly and wants to change jobs, it must be from before. The position is not suitable, and it is meaningless for you to be so reluctant."
Qian Heng dropped a bombshell with a cold expression: "Cheng Yao is my girlfriend."
Gu Beiqing was surprised, Li Chengxuan was shocked...
Cheng Yao put down her chopsticks, and explained concisely: "It's divided."
"No points."
"separated."
…
