Chapter 45 Dawn - Awakening
Walking out of the office building, the moment the door is opened, there is a heat wave.

Jiang Limei was wearing a Hong Kong-style hanging neck camisole today, her slender arms and back were exposed in the air, and she was immediately enveloped by the heat and sweated a little.

It's really hot tonight.

Ren Yu stood under the shadow of the tree, wearing white T casual pants, with a slender figure, as if he wanted to compete with the tree trunk to see who could stand straighter.Jiang Limei thought it was funny, are there still people who stand like this now?

Seeing her coming, Ren Yu stepped forward to meet her, and Jiang Limei saw the fine beads of sweat on his forehead through the light of the streetlight.

"Aren't you a bit stupid." Jiang Limei raised her chin slightly, not realizing the coquettishness in her tone: "Is it hot? Don't suffer from heat stroke, and go buy you a bottle of water."

"It's okay." Ren Yu smiled and touched the bridge of his nose: "You have a bad stomach, so you should eat less spicy food."

"?"

Jiang Limei was stunned for a moment, tugged at the hem of her clothes, raised her arms to smell it, and couldn't help frowning:

“I ate with my colleagues at noon, the smell of hot pot is too hard to dissipate”

"Is today a special day?"

Jiang Limei shrugged: "No, it's just an ordinary working day. There are many young people in our company, the atmosphere is good, and we often have dinner together."

It's not just a dinner party, I will also go to experience the escape room with young people in a while.Jiang Limei thought to herself, the phone vibrated just now, it was a wechat message sent to her by her junior, saying that a friend had a traffic jam, and it would take an hour before the scheduled time to play, so she told Jiang Limei not to worry, take her time.

A delivery man passed by them, and the headlights of the motorcycle illuminated Ren Yu's side face. Jiang Limei's gaze traveled from the arc of his jaw to his neck, his slightly protruding Adam's apple, and then to his slightly sweaty collarbone, winding to the collar of his collar. Down.

Jiang Limei looked away calmly, only feeling that the summer night was getting hotter and hotter.

"Let's go, I'm thirsty, go buy something to drink."

The two were walking on the way to the convenience store. Jiang Limei clutched the bag on the chain and said to Ren Yu:
"I have an appointment with my company colleagues tonight, so I can't have dinner with you."

She actually thought about whether to bring Ren Yu with her. It shouldn't be a big problem to escape the secret room and add someone temporarily, right?But thinking of the bad habits of gossip among colleagues, maybe next Monday she will become the center of the topic in the office.

Besides, Ren Yu didn't seem like someone who would like to play chamber of secrets.Think about it or give up.

She took a bottle of diet soda from the shelf.Originally, I wanted to take something from the freezer, but because there was a nagging doctor nearby, I withdrew my hand again.Ren Yu took the same one, and Jiang Limei took his, and they scanned the QR code to check out together.Ren Yu didn't fight her.

Convenience stores have window seats, which are convenient for customers to eat bento here. At this moment, after lunch, the seats are empty.

They sat side by side. Outside the transparent glass, the deliverymen and couriers were busy with their own activities. Motorbikes carrying boxes came and went, and some people who had just got off work hurried towards the subway station.

The street lamps mottled their shadows together.

This is Ling City, and working overtime until [-] or [-] o'clock is so common that it can't be more unusual.It didn't take long for Jiang Limei to adapt to the rhythm of the city.

It may be because of her strong and exuberant vigor and vitality, or it may be because there is no one behind her, so there is no concern.

"Sorry, I can't have dinner with you today, so I can only buy you a bottle of water."

"It's okay, I didn't make an appointment with you in advance." Ren Yu said lightly.

If an appointment is made in advance, will she readily attend the appointment?Jiang Limei knew it well, she wouldn't.

She was actually thinking about whether to find a suitable time to talk to Ren Yuche again, to explain the real reason why she rejected him, and not to waste each other's time.

Ren Yu's persistence was beyond her expectations.

It's not that she has never met a stubborn suitor. There was once a young man who opened a restaurant who ordered her flowers for a month in a row. Every day, she carried the flowers from the office to the trash can downstairs, and then After taking a photo and sending it to the other party for a month, the other party finally died down.

Jiang Limei asked herself that she couldn't do this to Ren Yu.

Ren Yu has a sense of proportion, and miraculously only appears when she needs it.His pursuit didn't bother her much, and she couldn't tear her face apart.

The soda water was bubbling and bubbling, and my thoughts fluctuated with the bubbling.

Jiang Limei quietly looked at the dim lights outside the glass, and suddenly sighed: "This is the hottest summer in the years I have been in Ling City."

Ren Yu's eyes fell on the same place as her: "Well, high temperature warnings are very frequent this year."

High temperature warning?Jiang Limei smiled: "I went to university in Yangcheng. You should have an idea of ​​Yangcheng. The degree of heat is not the same as that of northern cities."

She tried to make Ren Yu understand how terrifying the midsummer in Yangcheng is: "In the hottest summer, it rains for half of the time, and the raindrops that fall are hot, and it takes only a few minutes to walk outside and you will sweat all over, just like in a sauna. There's no way to breathe in the room."

She turned her mouth and looked at Ren Yu: "Have you ever been to Yangcheng?"

Ren Yu's hand holding the bottle tightened, and the plastic bottle made a stagnant sound.

"No. I haven't been."

"That's a pity. Yangcheng is hot, and there are many delicious ones. Tingzi porridge, rice rolls, Laohuo soup, and many desserts. There is an Egg Tart King in front of our school. It is absolutely amazing."

Yangcheng Academy of Fine Arts is a good school. Although it was not what she dreamed of going to at that time, it can be regarded as a fulfillment of her four years of college.

She and Ren Yu talked about the scenery of Yangcheng, and Ren Yu was, as always, a perfect listener.Speaking of the big difference between the old city and the new city of Yangcheng, Jiang Limei's cell phone rang, and it was Wu Yusi.

Wu Yusi told her that the curatorial company called her and said that some of the design drafts that had been delivered had not been reviewed by the client and needed to be overturned and restarted.Wu Yusi refused, saying that the manuscripts between the two parties have been confirmed to be backed up, and it is not their responsibility to temporarily overturn them.If they redesign, their construction period and cost will be doubled.

"Jiang Limei, do you think they did it on purpose?"

Does that even need to be said?
He didn't save any sympathy, and didn't think about meeting Jianghu in the future. He clearly felt that Jiang Limei and the others were a small studio, and he was sure that they would give in after weighing it.

"Don't go back to them first, just say that we have a meeting to study, and we don't work on weekends. What to do, I'll talk about it after I see the lawyer."

After hanging up the phone, she realized that Ren Yu was looking at her, and shook the phone: "It's nothing, it's about work."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Jiang Limei is a little angry, and soda water can't quench her anger.She boasts that she has seen countless bastards. It is not easy to make money these days, but there will always be someone more shameless who will refresh her knowledge and let her see the dangers of the world.

She described it to Ren Yu in concise words. In fact, storytelling was only secondary, and she was also venting through storytelling.

When talking about this extremely thin profit, Jiang Limei laughed bitterly at herself: "Can you believe it? If there is a lawsuit, my profit from this order is not even enough to pay the lawyer's fee."

Ren Yu listened quietly, without saying a word, but when she took a break to drink water, she sent Huang Youhui a wechat message with her mobile phone.

"Does your company have legal counsel?"

"Yes, it's a name, you can't count on it, you understand?" Jiang Limei raised her eyebrows.

Ren Yu nodded.

"You got a lawyer?"

"Yeah, we will meet and talk tomorrow, so the physical examination will be postponed to the day after tomorrow, maybe next week."

Ren Yu tapped twice on the phone, then put it on the table and pushed it to her, with the screen facing her direction:

"If your time is convenient, you may be able to see another lawyer after meeting your appointment tomorrow. After all, whether or not to fight this lawsuit, and how to fight it, you still have to think more about it. It's a good thing for multiple people to give advice."

Jiang Limei saw Ren Yu's mobile phone screen stopped on the chat interface, Ren Yu only said that there was a company contract dispute, and the other side replied almost instantly:

【your friend?Okay, when we meet, I will tell my wife. 】

She looked at Ren Yu puzzled.

"My junior brother and his wife are lawyers in a well-known law firm. They are good at commercial disputes, so they should be able to help."

Seeing that Jiang Limei was hesitating, he said again:

"Don't worry about favors, we don't need to consider these between us."

Jiang Limei didn't know for a moment whether the "we" Ren Yu referred to meant him and herself, or him and his friends.

After a moment of hesitation, WeChat rang again:

【Is it okay tonight?Make an appointment for supper?Tomorrow I'm going to go to the hot spring with my wife. It's a rare day off. We haven't been together for a month. Can you be considerate? 】

Ren Yu's suggestion actually helped Jiang Limei a lot. For a lawsuit, it is better to have a familiar and professional person give advice than a lawyer who pays the consulting fee on time. Some things, they will speak more straightforwardly and put themselves in the situation.

She folded her hands without too much entanglement.

Now is not the time to be pretentious.

"wait a moment."

Jiang Limei sent a message to the elementary school brother, and it was really useless to miss the appointment. She apologized to the elementary school brother: [You guys have fun, I will pay for the secret room and supper tonight. 】

The elementary school brother replied to her, what's the matter, it doesn't really matter that there is one more person and one less person tonight, boss, you are busy with your work.

After Jiang Limei calmed down here, she opened Dianping to find a restaurant.

"Where are they? Let's go now. It's past the evening rush hour at this time, and there will be no traffic jams."

She looked up and saw Ren Yu staring at her:
"What do your junior brother and the others like to eat?"

Jiang Limei, a high-end restaurant that is still open, flipped through the pages of Dianping, and then clicked on the details of the store to see the opening hours. She grabbed her wrist with one hand, and the warm touch overwhelmed the turbulent air conditioning in the convenience store.

"Let me arrange it." Ren Yu said.

"No." Jiang Limei refused: "I ask someone to help, of course I want to come."

"It's really not necessary."

Ren Yu didn't let go of her hand, just wrapped her wrist like that, with a helpless smile:
"Listen to me this time, we don't need to talk about that between us, pomp and the like are even more useless."

Jiang Limei finally asked: "We? Who?"

"Yes," Ren Yu looked at her, "You don't need to be polite to me, I'm glad I can help you."

At this time, Jiang Limei was caught in the headache of her career, and she didn't realize that the boundary between her and Ren Yu was already in jeopardy, and the line that drew the relationship had been torn off by herself.

Ren Yu silently led her into his world, his social circle step by step.

And she doesn't know it.
