Chapter 20.2 This man can be so dazzling.

If it were usual times, Bai Duanduan would probably have sneaked a couple of extra glances, but at that moment she wasn’t in the mood, and the person she had made an appointment with had arrived. 

The other party was a man in his thirties, in charge of Cheng & Hui’s personnel recruitment, named Zhao Liang. He had a big back and he was wearing a suit with leather shoes. He does not look ugly, but looks very business-like, like someone who always looks a little greasy. When he saw Bai Duanduan and his eyes brightened up, “Lawyer Bai, you look more beautiful in person than the picture on your resume.”

Bai Duanduan frowned and ignored his importune words, only smiling implicitly.

“Come on, let’s order some dessert first. Would you like milk tea? Or hot cocoa?”

Although the other party was very enthusiastic, Bai Duanduan actually did not like this mode. She preferred a straightforward interview.

“I see that Lawyer Bai went to high school at A City called Experimental High School, so you’re a local to A City? Which area do you live in?”

……

After answering a few questions patiently, Bai Duanduan finally couldn’t take it anymore, “Is there anything you want to ask me about my job experience? Or do I need to do a written test first? Will there be an interview with partners afterwards? How many steps are there in the recruitment process?”

“Sleep with me.”

The request was so unthinkable and whimsical that Bai Duanduan didn’t even have time to get angry for a moment, other than being shocked, but Zhao Liang took her reaction by default as a signal to continue.

He smiled as if he was determined to win, “In fact it’s nothing really, don’t worry. I won’t pester you, I’m a man of good faith. On the contrary, the women I’ve been with always say they had a good time with me and become nostalgic, so I don’t even think about it…”

He didn’t get a chance to finish his last boast, because Bai Duanduan grabbed the hot coffee from the table and splashed it all over his face.

Zhao Liang shrieked as he was burned and jumped up from his seat. He was grimacing as he wiped his face and raised his hand towards Bai Duanduan in anger, “Bai Duanduan, how dare you hit me? Do you believe that I, Zhao Liang, will make it completely impossible for you to get any job in the A city’ legal circle? Shameless woman, do you think any law firm would dare to hire you with your current reputation? I gave you a good offer and spoke to you nicely, but do you really take yourself too seriously? How dare you hit me? Do you know who my father is?”

Zhao Liang, who was a man with a reputation for being a dog, obviously relied on his family’s background, and even though he had made such a brazen request, he had never suffered such direct resistance. Now he was furious as he was suddenly thunderstruck by Bai Duanduan, and he probably wanted to give her a slap in the face.

Bai Duanduan sneered in her heart and was ready to give Zhao Liang a good show, but Zhao Liang’s hand, which was about to fall towards her, was stopped by another hand just as it was about to approach her.

It was a man’s hand which was white and slender looking. It was so perfect in shape that one could not even find a flaw in its nail caps also.

Bai Duanduan looked up in surprise, and then saw a face which was completely unexpected – Ji Lin’s face.

He was very handsome, and the way he held Zhao Liang looked unusually light, but when Zhao Liang was pushed away by him, he subconsciously staggered two steps back. 

“Ji Lin?” Zhao Liang was taken aback at first. He frowned as he glanced at Bai Duanduan, then turned his eyes to look at Ji Lin, and then a disgusting, malicious and sticky smile appeared on his face, “I see, it turns out that some rumors are not just groundless rumors. It turns out that you two do have an affair. What a pleasant surprise.”

Zhao Liang seemed to have finally found a handle on Bai Duanduan as he glanced at her with contempt, “What? Was Lin Hui not enough for you? Despite your bad temper, Lin Hui is still kind and tolerant enough to keep you in high regards, but in the end you slept with Ji Lin, and finally were swept away by Lin Hui? Wonderful, I’d like to see what good things can happen to this pair of dog man and woman.”

Zhao Liang saw that he couldn’t get an advantage from Ji Lin, so after finishing his speech, he straightened his clothes and resumed his moral face, as if  the person who said “sleep with me” wasn’t him at all. He sheepishly turned around and walked away.

Bai Duanduan didn’t relieve her anger. She instantly had a dozen sparring moves ready in her head to entertain Zhao Liang, but just as she took a step, she was pulled back.

Ji Lin grabbed her hand.

Bai Duanduan had just experienced Zhao Liang’s “sleep with me” incident, and was now somewhat sensitive to the wind. When she saw that Ji Lin had dragged her, she immediately subconsciously frowned, “What are you holding onto me for? Quickly let go of me.”

It’s a pity that Ji Lin didn’t let it go. He just glanced at Bai Duanduan faintly and said, “Let go of you and let you hit him? And then? Then let him directly ask his partner cousin to represent him in his personal injury case, and then sue you? Let you and Song Lianjun get together in one nest? Bai Duanduan, calm down.”

“……”

Obviously in that situation, Ji Lin’s voice was still calm and devoid of any emotion. However, one one had to admit that it was this coldness in his voice that really made Bai Duanduan calm down quickly.

Yes, it’s not worth it for a piece of crap like Zhao Liang.

Bai Duanduan came to her senses and looked at Ji Lin in front of her. Her heart was somewhat moved and she sincerely said, “I didn’t expect you to be quite enthusiastic. Nowadays, in this society, there are not many men and women who know each other and who argue often are willing to intervene as a third person. Thank you.”

“No need.” Ji Lin let go of Bai Duanduan’s hand and smiled at her. At times like this when his face was paired with such a smile, even Bai Duanduan who had almost grown immune to him was still caught off guard and dazzled. This man can be so dazzling at times.

“Don’t thank me, just pay back the money you owe me.” Ji Lin glanced at Bai Duanduan, “Thank me with the act of paying back the money, and promise me not to hit anyone until the debt relationship with me is wiped out.”

Bai Duanduan was completely confused, “What does my paying back the money to you have to do with me beating someone or not??”

“Because once you hit someone, there is a great possibility that a civil compensation lawsuit will be filed against you. If the other party is injured, you will have to pay for it, which means you will incur new debts, and my debt will not necessarily be paid in priority.” 

Ji Lin said till this point and looked at Bai Duanduan, “You are now willing to come to even Cheng & Hui’s interview. It seems that you really can’t find a job and have no savings. Your hands are already tight, if another debt is added, it’s really dangerous if I can collect what you owe to me.”

“……” 

It’s not that he’s a bit dazzling, this man in front of her was too “dazzling”, so “dazzling” that her titanium alloy dog’s eyes were blinded by him.¹ T/n: “It blinded my titanium-alloy dog eyes.” — It is an internet slang used by an onlooker (usually not in a relationship; a “Single Dog”) fed up with a lovey-dovey couple’s PDA, because their Love is Too Bright for Human or Regular Dog Eyes.

When Ji Lin finished, he smiled and looked to the side at Bai Duanduan’s coffee cup, “There’s still half a cup, don’t waste it.”

“Huh?”

It’s already this bad, and you still want me to finish the half cup of coffee that’s left?

As a result, Ji Lin didn’t care about Bai Duanduan’s expression anymore and glanced at Zhao Liang’s back again, “He’s almost gone far away.”

He pursed his lips, looked at Bai Duanduan and said calmly, “Don’t hit people, be civilized.”

In a flash of lightning, Bai Duanduan finally figured it out in her heart in a blessed way.

All right, she can’t hit someone, but she can splash someone! Indeed, she shouldn’t waste the half cup of coffee she was left with!
