ng recommended Blue Mountain Law Firm, Wang would also pay special attention to Lawyer Li Anna. Anyway, if the professional level of all major law firms is roughly the same, then naturally, Blue Mount..."Are you hungry" Song Jingye asked, feeling a bit awkward, as if it were some kind of hint.
"Uncle, are you hungry I can go get some late-night snacks with you."
Song Jingye
After hearing her words, his heart felt a bit agitated. Or perhaps he had been feeling agitated all night. And the way she called him "Uncle," each syllable laced with an unexpected tenderness, was more than usual. This damn night made one weak-willed.
He cleared his throat and glanced at her, "Would you like to change your clothes"
She just went downstairs wearing only a jacket over her pajamas, it wasn't suitable for going out.
"Wait for me, Uncle," she said. Then, she got out of the car and ran up the stairs to change her clothes.
Song Jingye sat in the jeep, watching the lights in her house turn on and off. Time passed quickly; unlike other girls who took a long time to get ready, she just threw on a casual chair and put her hair up. She was fresh and simple.
In the late hours of the capital city, there were few places to find a proper late-night snack. So, Song Jingye drove her directly to the chef's canteen, having asked him beforehand to prepare some light dishes.
At the time, I didn't think much of it. When I arrived at the restaurant, I remembered that I had attended Zheng Ke's wedding here last time and had gotten drunk, returning home with her.
He shook his head gently, everything he could think of was reminiscent of that night, and he had to admit defeat.
The class monitor has a few guests to entertain tonight, so he can't stay with them the whole time. He brought out a pot of bamboo shoot and old duck soup. "You two are lucky tonight, I simmered this soup for 6 hours over low heat. I was originally going to drink it myself after work because it's especially good for your health."
The soup was golden in color and tasted sweet. Song Jingye took a sip, just about to take a second when he heard the squad leader
He said that it was particularly nourishing, and he immediately put down his spoon and didn't dare to drink another mouthful.
He should not eat any tonifying food tonight.
Chen Ning said this girl is really a good eater. She ate a lot at dinner, and now she's out, saying she's accompanying him for a late-night snack, and she's also eating quite a bit.
Song Jingye, in order to distract himself from his jumbled thoughts, proactively ladled a bowl of soup for her: "Eat more, after going to X country, I'm afraid even basic sustenance will be a problem."
He wasn't exaggerating. Talking to his father that evening about the situation in the northern countries, he said if war broke out, as a major African food exporter, its export capacity would inevitably be greatly affected. Then, not to mention countries like X, even the whole of Africa would face a food shortage.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but ask again: "Are you really going to x country Can't you wait a few more years to go"
Chen Ling sipped her soup, not daring to look up at him. She was afraid of seeing reluctance in his eyes; she would be reluctant to leave if she did, so she nodded: "It's already been arranged."
Their appointments are no joke, and they are there to carry out missions.
Have you finished all the procedures for going out
"It's done, it was approved by the department, the process was simple."
Next Friday, she will be leaving for her trip, so Chen Ning has a lot to do. Not only are there personal matters to attend to, but she also needs to accompany Zhang Zan to prepare for the new museum construction in Country X.
She had originally planned to visit her uncle and aunt back home before going abroad. She hadn't been back in years and hadn't been completely indifferent, but she simply couldn't spare the time and could only briefly say goodbye over the phone.
Uncle and Aunt didn't understand what a developed country or a backward country was when they heard she was going to work abroad. All they knew was that she was going overseas.
"Our homegrown talent has made it big! It's wonderful, simply wonderful!"
That night, although Song Jingye still hadn't eaten his fill, Chen Ling had eaten well. Seeing her like this, he let out a sigh of relief: "It seems I don't have to worry about you going hungry. As long as there's something to eat, you can put it in your mouth."
She smiled: "Just treat it as my uncle praising me."
A person who has experienced hunger, with a mouth that craves food, of course needs to eat hard to maintain their strength, so they can be ready for battle at any time.
That bowl of bamboo shoot and duck soup, most of it went into her stomach. The rest, Song Jingye didn't dare to drink, only failing the squad leader's good intentions.
After I walked her home, it was almost 1 am. The entire apartment building was quiet, with only a few rooms still lit up.
"Go on then." He didn't even get out of the car this time, sitting very seriously in the driver's seat.
Chen Ning nodded and silently unbuckled her seatbelt, getting out of the car.
She wasn't completely oblivious to the atmosphere; it was even more intense than the feeling she'd had at his place the other night. But she wouldn't fall into the same trap twice, so after getting off the car, she walked straight into the elevator without looking back.
I messaged him when I got home, and just saw his car driving out of the apartment complex.
For the next few days, her main task was to prepare for her trip abroad. She completed all the necessary procedures, got vaccinated, and helped Zhang Zanzan with preparations for his position in the management department. In between, she also had dinner with Zheng Ke and his wife as a farewell.
The days of departure were drawing near, although she had a thousand reluctance in her heart, she suppressed them one by one, not thinking too much about it.
Two, three, or five years, who knows. One wonders if by the time she returns, her uncle will already have a happy family
No matter where or when, she
I hope he is happy.
Friday came quickly, the night before she told Song Jingye and Xu Haocheng that they didn't need to come see her off. She didn't like farewells, so she packed simply, kept things light and set off with a carefree mind.
But early that morning, when she arrived at the airport, Xu Haichen had already gotten there ahead of her, waiting for her with a bag in his hand. As she got closer, she realized it was a medical bag.
He handed her the bag: "It's better to be prepared. I went there on vacation before, and the mosquitos were rampant."
Chen Ling gratefully received the medical kit: "Thank you."
She had already bought many medicines according to the list provided by Zhang Can a few days ago and sent them to the embassy next door in advance.
After a while, Zhang San also arrived and was preparing to go to the security checkpoint.
Chen Ning wanted to look towards the hall outside, though she'd insisted yesterday that he didn't need to send her. Seeing Xu Haochen come without him, she couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.
Song Jingye was listening to her words, he truly didn't intend to see her off. He disliked these farewell scenes. Everything that needed to be said had been said beforehand, but he hadn't slept soundly all night. He always felt like there was something he hadn't done. In the early morning, he suddenly remembered, did she have enough money on her person
She had just graduated, her salary wasn't high to begin with, and on top of that, she had student loans to pay back. Each month, she probably had very little left over.
He scrambled to his feet, searching for the card she had exchanged earlier. He intended to put some money into it for her to take with her, so she would have some spending money on hand.
It took me a while to find the bank card because it was from a long time ago. Back then, it wasn't linked to his phone and mobile banking wasn't set up, so it took quite some time to figure it out.
When he transferred the money and saw the balance, he thought he was seeing things. He counted it three times before confirming that there were over 200,000 in there. All the living expenses he had given her over the past few years, she hadn't spent a single cent.
Looking at the amount inside, his heart clenched with a dull ache. Such a foolish girl.ightness in her chest eased, and a chill ran down her spine. She forced herself to remain composed: "I missed him, and I happen to be in Beijing on business today. I'll go pick him up.""Okay, come he...
