Chapter 50.1: “Maybe your son needs to find a bad one to beat him three times a day to feel comfortable!”

In one night, she bought a mobile phone and snacks, then ate this and that. She was so distracted by Ji Lin that Bai Duanduan completely threw the matter of Lin Hui out of the window and didn’t remember to call him back at all.

When she got up after a good night’s sleep and got a new phone, she completely forgot about it. When Bai Duanduan remembered again, it was already the afternoon of the next day. So she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and called him and the phone was connected after a few rings.

“Duanduan, are you free lately? It’s that time of the year when hairy crabs are on sale, and my client has sent me several boxes, so you should come over and take them away.”

Bai Duanduan liked hairy crabs, but Ye Zhaoxia and Lin Hui were not too fond of hairy crabs, so whenever someone sent hairy crabs in the past, they all went to Bai Duanduan.

Crabs were not easy to let go, so Lin Hui and Bai Duanduan finally made an appointment to meet that night and give Bai Duanduan the crab.

Bai Duanduan hung up the phone and was called to the office by Ji Lin on an intercom to discuss a new executive departure dispute. After communicating about the case, Bai Duanduan looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to leave work, “I have finished today’s work, so I won’t work overtime, okay?”

Ji Lin didn’t even raise his head and said, “I’m working overtime, you’re not working overtime tonight.”

Bai Duanduan was happy that after working overtime for so long, she was finally getting off work normally, “That’s great! I have a date with Lin Hui tonight. He brought me several boxes of hairy crabs. Do you like them? I can share half of it with you if you like, I still know how to cook hairy crabs, I just need to steam them ……”

“I haven’t finished my sentence.” Ji Lin slyly interrupted Bai Duanduan.

“?”

“I have to work overtime, and it’s impossible for you not to work overtime tonight.”

“……”

Bai Duanduan was on the verge of choking up, “What about my crabs?!”

“How many boxes of crabs did he bring you?”

“4 boxes!”

“Good, then I’ll buy you 8 boxes. You can work overtime in peace.”

“Don’t you think it’s a waste of money? Why don’t you let me go and let me collect the 4 boxes of crabs? I can even split 2 boxes with you, can’t I?”

Ji Lin gave Bai Duanduan a cold look, “How much is 8 boxes of crabs? Can you calculate the income you can generate after this case? As for sharing 2 boxes with me, I don’t care to eat crabs sent to me by others. You should have backbone. If you want to eat crabs, you should buy them yourself.”

This was a favor to send a crab, how also related to the backbone ah……

———–

In the end, no matter how much Bai Duanduan fought, Ji Lin still refused to let her sneak out on the grounds that work was important, but the only conscience was that this man gave Bai Duanduan another case of 1,000 layoffs and the closure of the entire China factory, involving a bid amount of nearly 60 million yuan, and the lawyer’s fee was a bargain. Bai Duanduan calculated that with these few cases, she would probably be able to generate very good revenue this year.

Although people think of labour lawyers as lawyers who are involved in disputes between companies and individual workers which they think was a low-end and don’t make much money. But in reality, once they make a name for themselves, they can earn a lot of money by taking on a few large redundancy cases and executive exit disputes like Ji Lin.

There was no other way. For the sake of money, Bai Duanduan called Lin Hui and politely declined to meet him that night, asking him to give the crab to someone else, as this type of fresh food cannot be left behind for long. But as a result, Lin Hui did not say anything, asked for Bai Duanduan’s address and still sent it to her community’s gatekeeper.

After returning from overtime work, Bai Duanduan, who happened to be in Ji Lin’s car, received Lin Hui’s text message, and went to the guard to pick up the crab, and Ji Lin, a little embarrassed, followed her all the way. His face was not good, and he looked at the crab as if he was looking at an enemy. Was it because he wanted to eat it too?

“You can’t keep crab for too long, I’m going to steam a few for dinner tonight, do you want to join me?”

“I’m not eating.”

The result was that Ji Lin threw down these words and turned around and left. Although his face was expressionless and his tone was still cold, Bai Duanduan somehow felt that this guy seemed a bit angry, and she didn’t know what he was angry about.

But all in all, Ji Lin should not have been in a good mood that night, because soon the next few days, he had Bai Duanduan’s work schedule full again. In addition to working overtime, there was no time to find Lin Hui to have a meal to thank him for those crabs. On the contrary, Lin Hui again did not know which client had sent the crabs, so he contacted Bai Duanduan again.

“Duanduan, have you finished the crabs from last time? I’ve got some new ones here.”

“No, no, it’s really not necessary, I’ve been working overtime lately.”

It is said that distance creates beauty. When she left her job, she and Lin Hui had torn their faces apart, but now that they are not in the same law firm and after such a long period of time, their relationship has eased up a lot.

Lin Hui’s voice was gentle, as if he had returned to the old Teacher Lin, and he said with some consternation, “You’ve been working so much overtime lately? It’s okay, if you’re not free, I’ll just leave it to your community’s guardman.”

“No no, it’s really not necessary, I also have quite a lot of hairy crabs on my side, you’d be sending too many again, I can’t finish them, it’s a pity that the crabs died, it’s too wasteful.”
