Chapter 80.2 “Do I need some replenishment? You’ll find out in the future.”

There were mixed opinions on Ji Lin borrowing money for studying abroad, but most people just watched and made fun of him. However, Xie Miao was more thoughtful. He had some extra income that he could lend to Ji Lin, and he wasn’t in need of money himself. As someone in the IT software industry, he had more opportunities for side jobs than Ji Lin in the legal and humanities fields.

After thinking it over, Xie Miao managed to get Ji Lin’s contact information and reached out to him. In hindsight, Xie Miao sometimes questioned his own kindness, but regardless, Ji Lin’s stubborn and tough demeanor had won him over. Although they weren’t familiar with each other, Xie Miao still lent Ji Lin his 200,000 yuan. Ji Lin had received a scholarship from his school, but he still had some living expenses and a deficit, which was exactly the amount Xie Miao lent him. Ji Lin insisted on writing a promissory note and even offered an interest rate higher than that of a bank, despite Xie Miao repeatedly declining any interest.

Ji Lin said, “I’ll pay you back next year.”

Actually, Xie Miao hadn’t taken it seriously. The moment he lent the money, he had already prepared for the fact that he might never get it back. He didn’t expect Ji Lin to repay him. He did it out of sympathy for Ji Lin’s situation and a personal understanding of poverty. Therefore, he decided to do this good deed.

At first, when Xie Miao saw Bai Duanduan, he only thought that she was beautiful, but her beauty was too sharp, so Xie Miao did not really think highly of her and Jilin. However, to his surprise, the two of them were actually a perfect match. He watched as Bai Duanduan approached Jilin and her eyes seemed to light up. Xie Miao couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

Now that the Tian Mu case has been unexpectedly and predictably resolved, and the bottleneck in his career has been resolved, it may be time to deal with his lifelong matter. Xie Miao thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and started calling Xue Wen. There are some good movies recently released, and he wants to invite her to watch.

The missed opportunities in the past are already gone, but the future is still promising. There is still a lot of unknown happiness and joy waiting ahead in life.

After looking at the time, Bai Duan Duan realized that it was still a while before dinner, and remembered that there was a small email she hadn’t replied to at work. After some consideration, she decided to follow Ji Lin back to Sheng Lin.

Bai Duan Duan was holding Ji Lin’s hand, ready to walk to the office, but unexpectedly saw an unexpected guest at the entrance of Sheng Lin.

The man had a clean and tidy buzz cut, was wearing a suit, carrying a briefcase, and had a handsome and sharp appearance with bright eyes.

When Bai Duan Duan arrived, he seemed to be hesitating whether to go in, but when he looked up and saw her, he smiled in surprise.

“Lawyer Bai! I finally found you! You really are here!”

Bai Duan Duan stared at the face in front of her for a few seconds before recognizing that it was Xu Zhixin.

The last time she saw him, he looked haggard and depressed after his father’s death, and he had been fired for taking sick leave and had also caused trouble for his girlfriend, owing external debt. Even though he tried to lift himself up by saying he wanted to start a business, he still looked like a wilted eggplant. However, Xu Zhixin seemed to have completely transformed. He was now confident, energetic, stable, and optimistic. Even his dressing style had become more stylish, and he had a new hairstyle. At first, Bai Duan Duan didn’t recognize him.

He was very excited to see Bai Duan Duan and said, “Lawyer Bai, my phone broke before and I lost all my contacts. I couldn’t get in touch with you, so I went to ZhaoHui Law Firm to try and find you. But they said you had resigned and moved to Sheng Lin. So I hurried over here. I was worried that I wouldn’t see you today, but I didn’t expect to bump into you at the entrance.”

Xu Zhixin took a few steps towards Bai Duan Duan and only then saw Ji Lin standing behind him. The intimidation and psychological shadow that Ji Lin had once brought to him were still apparent, and even though the two had nothing to do with each other at the moment, Xu Zhixin still unconsciously hesitated and showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Ji Lin naturally had no intention of greeting him and catching up with old times. He just pursed his lips and looked at Xu Zhixin coldly.

Xu Zhixin didn’t know how Bai Duan Duan ended up with this Ji Lin, but since the other party had no intention of leaving, he could only face Ji Lin’s gaze and finally took out a thick envelope from his briefcase without any hesitation. He then stuffed it into Bai Duan Duan’s hand and said, “This is for you. When you lent me money back then, I never expected that I would be able to pay you back now.”

Fortunately, Bai Duan Duan’s smile after a moment of hesitation put Xu Zhixin at ease. He awkwardly scratched his head and said, “Bai Lawyer, you may think it’s cliché, but I really appreciate your help. You didn’t look down on me when I was in a bad state of mind, and you were willing to lend me money and even refunded your lawyer’s fees to me. It really helped me a lot.”

Bai Duan Duan’s voice was very soft, “It’s nothing, and I didn’t lend you that much money.”

Xu Zhixin had come to thank her today, and after speaking, he felt much more relaxed. “At the time, my mentality was not good, and I thanked you for not looking down on me. The money you lent me solved my urgent need, and it was also the first start-up capital for my business. It really meant a lot to me.”

He chatted with Bai Duan Duan with a smile, and Bai Duan Duan finally learned that after he had prepared a project plan for his electronic and mechanical patents during his college years and promoted it everywhere, a leading enterprise in the industry had taken notice and not only bought his patents at a high price but also gave him an investment to continue his research.

“This patent fee and investment allow me to focus more on entrepreneurship and technology research now, returning to the field that I am interested in and being a solid person,” Xu Zhixin said with some embarrassment. “And I finally paid off all my previous debts.”

Bai Duan Duan didn’t usually follow up on the current lives of her clients, but when she heard about Xu Zhixin’s recent situation, she was genuinely happy for him. “That’s great!”

One person making a mistake is not a capital offense. After correcting it, they can still have a bright future.
