To you who are late

Chapter 19

The headquarters of Haisheng Company is located in the center of the bustling urban area. The temporary office specially assigned to Zhao Jiamin is located in a very high position, and most of the urban area can be seen at a glance.Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, in addition to the dizziness caused by fear of heights, there is also the illusion that you can control everything because of the surge of adrenaline.

The sun was shining brightly, and it was warm on the body.

"what happened?"

Zhao Jiamin raised his head from a pile of documents and looked at Ju Jingyi who was on the opposite sofa.

Originally, Nangongyi proposed to arrange a temporary office for Ju Jingyi, but Ju Jingyi refused.

She is still used to giving orders and asking others to run errands for her for specific things, so it doesn't matter where she works.

However, when he entered this temporary office for the first time, he surprised a group of people in the company.

Especially the few people I met in the tea room that day.

Facing them is like a rabbit meeting a wolf, running away at the sound of the wind, afraid of being caught by the two of them.

"Oh, just now Jiang Susu called me on Lao Bai's cell phone." Ju Jingyi glanced at Zhao Jiamin, as casually as if she was talking about something ordinary, "Well, about Xiao Xiao, she wants to talk to me."

Zhao Jiamin was taken aback, "Why did you agree?" This is not like Ju Jingyi's usual style of doing things.

"Anyway, I have time to spare."

is it?

Zhao Jiamin didn't worry too much about this question, but she still kept it in her heart, "I just want to ask you something."

The sun fell on Ju Jingyi's body, she narrowed her eyes, lazily like a kitten, "Say."

"Why do you want to help Haisheng?"

"Wang Qianya is not just dealing with Haisheng."

"Yujia, you don't care that much yet."

Ju Jingyi spread her hands, with a look of expression that you have seen through me and I have nothing to say, she lowered her eyes slightly, as if deliberately avoiding Zhao Jiamin's sight and not looking at her, "Okay, okay, I want to take advantage of He Hai Sheng cooperation opportunity to find out clues about APTX-1502."

Her 'honesty' made Zhao Jiamin at a loss as to what to say. Knowing that she would not tell the truth, she still couldn't help asking, "Is there really no other idea?"

"What other ideas can I have?"

Facing her rhetorical question, Zhao Jiamin withdrew his gaze and raised an arc at the corner of his mouth, "Okay."

If you say no, then no.

From the moment Ju Jingyi finished speaking, she shifted her gaze because she was afraid that Ju Jingyi would see the change in her eyes.

There was a bitterness in her heart, but she was still unwilling to open her heart to her.

"During this period of time, Ju Jingyi has been secretly asking people to buy scattered shares of Haisheng. I think it seems like a long-term plan for her. You'd better ask clearly." It may be a call from the elevator, Qiao Sen's The voice was intermittent, but very clear, "Get ready to hug your thighs, find the right time to be pitiful."

"When the time comes, don't count on me. I won't support you." Qiao Sen's tone became brighter as he spoke, "Otherwise, I'll be a good girl to her right now and just follow her."

"roll."

Even if Ju Jingyi really recruits a younger brother, it can only be her alone.

The meeting place was found by Ju Jingyi, and the time was also set by Ju Jingyi, who directly sent a text message to Jiang Susu Quandang to inform.

Of course, after she went out, she was accompanied by a follower named Zhao.

Jiang Susu never saw Zhao Jiamin again after the unhappiness last time.

Waiting in the private room, she was thinking deeply, when she saw Ju Jingyi enter the door, she quickly stood up, unexpectedly Zhao Jiamin was following behind her, she was almost startled.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Susu was not too surprised.

The last time I made a mistake, Zhao Jiamin exposed the secret that Zhao Jiamin had hidden for a long time. I don't know what will happen this time, so Zhao Jiamin will naturally be worried.

It's just that the other party is the person I like after all, so be wary of me, no matter how Jiang Susu understands rationally, he will still be hurt and sad emotionally.

Seeing Jiang Susu's dazed expression, Ju Jingyi's first reaction was that this follower surnamed Zhao was to blame.

The originally firm attitude softened a lot in an instant.

This little girl came to Xiao Xiao because she really thought about it. If she explained to her according to her original plan, she might be forced to collapse.

Thinking of this, Ju Jingyi rushed ahead of Jiang Susu and said, "Eat first, we will talk about anything after eating."

The three of them ate very quietly, and they were not of that lively personality. The silence in the whole box was terrifying.

Zhao Jiamin has never missed Qiao Sen so much, and at this time, he is still in urgent need of his talkative existence.

But think about it, if he is really here, I'm afraid I'm going to gag her.

After eating, Jiang Susu gave himself a psychological training, and finally he had the confidence to speak.

"Doctor Ju, what exactly did you tell Xiao Xiao?" She shook her head again, "No, it should be said, what exactly do you want to use Xiao Xiao for?"

Her eyes are pure, as if they had never been painted with a brush, and there is pure stubbornness in the eyes, or maybe, she just doesn't want to look at the filth.

Although she had no obligation to protect her from pollution, Ju Jingyi still hesitated for a moment.

Ju Jingyi frowned and thought for a while, then spit out four words, "It's hard to say."

"What do you want to do, I don't want to know." Jiang Susu's heart sank immediately, she already had a premonition that this conversation would end unhappy, "But I don't want you to use Xiao Xiao, she is so young, she, She hasn't seen the outside world yet."

"There are many unhappy children in this world, it's just fate."

Ju Jingyi's plain tone was like an ordinary fire stick, a straight poke without crutches, instantly aroused Jiang Susu's still-flammable heart of fire.

This time, it was completely lit.

Obviously, an introverted and gentle person like Jiang Susu would not get angry so easily.

"Fate?" Jiang Susu's voice trembled, "Yes, sometimes people can't help themselves to their own fate, but it is Xiao Xiao's own fate, and it should be chosen by her, not imposed by you."

Ju Jingyi raised her eyes and looked straight at her, her obsidian-like eyes were not moved by her at all, "I gave her a choice."

For the sake of freedom, Xiao Xiao chose to cooperate with her.

Although Jiang Susu didn't know what Ju Jingyi did or what deal she made with Xiao Xiao, she instantly remembered her previous self, and subconsciously said, "That's not a choice, that's a temptation."

"Yes, but that's also because you failed to keep your hearts." Ju Jingyi smiled, but it was a hypocritical smile, "Isn't it your own choice? The snake tempted Eve to eat it." Is the apple the snake's fault? Obviously it was Eve who couldn't help being tempted, and it was obviously Eve's own choice."

"It's temptation, but it's also her own choice."

"Isn't this using temptation to control other people's lives?" Jiang Susu felt that she couldn't say no to Ju Jingyi, but a voice in her heart kept telling her that this was wrong, and the belief she had been holding on to also told her that this was wrong. This kind of behavior is wrong, "Coercion and temptation, controlling others, this is not right."

"The snake tempted Eve to eat the apple. Eve was indeed wrong. She couldn't help the temptation, but was the snake that tempted her right?" Jiang Susu's mood gradually calmed down, and her eyes became firmer. , is wrong."

Seeing that Jiang Susu was not shaken at all by Ju Jingyi's words, Zhao Jiamin's eyes on Jiang Susu stopped for a moment and looked at Ju Jingyi.

"Different road non-phase plan."

"You are making excuses."

Jiang Susu was angry and impatient, she really didn't expect that Ju Jingyi would be such a rogue, it may be that there are few conspiracies around her, she always thinks of people in a good way, she thinks that Ju Jingyi shouldn't be Such a person, in other words, she has expectations of Ju Jingyi, so she will be angry when she hears Ju Jingyi's rebuttal.

"Do you really think you're doing the right thing?"

To her surprise, Ju Jingyi nodded, "I was wrong."

But before Jiang Susu's smile came to the corners of her eyes, she went on to say, "But that was just a moral mistake, or I should say, what I did was not very honest."

As she said that, she looked at Jiang Susu with gentle eyes, "We are different. I will not do something because of the so-called right or wrong, or I will not do something, I will only do what I want to do."

That's why she said that differences do not conspire with each other.

That's not a strong word.

Everyone has their own bottom line. Some people set the bottom line on the moral line, some set the bottom line on the legal line, and some even have no bottom line.

Jiang Susu can judge a matter based on right or wrong, Ju Jingyi can't, and neither can Zhao Jiamin.

Everyone has their own persistence, and Ju Jingyi hopes that Jiang Susu can think clearly about this.

This is also one of the reasons why she is here now and is willing to talk to Jiang Susu.

In fact, Jiang Susu has already figured it out.

It's just that she doesn't want to accept it.

She lowered her head, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, and couldn't help muttering, "But that's not right."

The inability to convince Ju Jingyi meant that she couldn't save Xiao Xiao.

As soon as she thought that the little girl would lose hope, her eye sockets couldn't help getting hot, and sour liquid came out.

"Maybe." Ju Jingyi said softly.

Looking at Jiang Susu with a complicated expression, she thought about it, but still didn't say anything.

Say what?

Even a night of nonsense can't save Xiao Xiao.

From the very beginning, when she chose to use Xiao Xiao, she knew what would happen.

In fact, what Jiang Susu said was right, she did something wrong.

If hesitation is hypocrisy, then it is perfunctory if you promise to fail to do so.

She clearly knows what Xiao Xiao wants, but she uses everything the little girl desires to draw a perfunctory big cake, which is still a hollow cake that can be broken with a single poke.

It's hard for the little girl to believe it.

While Jiang Susu was still depressed, Zhao Jiamin hooked Ju Jingyi's shoulders and walked out of the box.

When the autumn wind blew over, Ju Jingyi felt a sense of relief.

"It is always necessary for tragic things to happen, so that people can truly realize that misfortune is a kind of existence that makes people sad and painful." After walking a few steps, Zhao Jiamin popped out such a sentence.

Ju Jingyi laughed, but the laughter couldn't stop, and soon drifted away with the wind, "Are you comforting me?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jiamin considered her words, as if she was worried that it would affect her, and she didn't let go of her shoulder. It seemed like this could give Ju Jingyi a little to rely on, "So don't make yourself uncomfortable just because of her words." happy."

"No, I was just thinking about another sentence by Jiang Susu." Ju Jingyi shook her head, "No one can control other people's lives at will."

"Then do you think you are controlling Xiao Xiao's life?"

"How is it possible?" Ju Jingyi said, "I'm not a god, I just used a little cleverness, which affected Xiao Xiao's judgment. Speaking of it, I don't even count as cleverness. I'm just a child, and deception is very important to a child." Say, it's still too simple to bully."

"Actually, I think Jiang Susu wants to say that I'm too selfish."

As she walked, a lot of Ju Jingyi's long hair fell into Zhao Jiamin's hands. She couldn't help wrapping her fingers around a few times. It was soft and slippery, like satin, and she couldn't let go of her hands for a while.

It was unintentional, but it became intentional.

"Well, it's quite selfish." Zhao Jiamin said, "But you're not her, and you won't stop doing it just because she thinks it's wrong."

They are not in the same way as Jiang Susu, so no one can convince the other.

Only a person like Jiang Susu who always has hope will want to work hard once.

If it were Ju Jingyi, she wouldn't try it at all.

"Should I say that you really know me well enough?" Ju Jingyi looked up at her, "I don't need to say anything, you know what I think."

Zhao Jiamin also happened to look down at her, his eyes were gloomy, and seemed to be full of unfinished words, and his voice was low, "I naturally understand."

Accidentally bumping into her eyes, Ju Jingyi's heartbeat was out of rhythm for an instant, and her breathing stagnated.

I forgot everything I wanted to say.

For the sake of knowing you so well, tell me, what do you think?

Although I can guess it, I still expect you to speak to me yourself.

The warm yellow street lamp fell on the faces of the two, and the mottled shadows added a bit of mystery.The two of them have excellent looks. Standing in the night, it looks like a professionally shot poster. Only they can match each other, which attracts many passers-by to look back.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly for a moment, neither of them dared to speak first to destroy this rare peace.

Until an evil wind blew from bottom to top, Ju Jingyi's long hair covered Zhao Jiamin's face, ruining the beauty.

"Pfft." Ju Jingyi couldn't help but burst out laughing first, stretched out her hand to gather up her hair, and picked up a few strands of hair that stuck to Zhao Jiamin's face, "Don't pay attention."

Even she herself didn't realize that her movements were so gentle and outrageous.

Feeling the temperature of her fingertips, Zhao Jiamin had no time to think, reached out to grab Ju Jingyi's hand, lowered her head slightly, and printed her soft lips on it.

She didn't think about anything, she just wanted to do it, and she did it.

Ju Jingyi was caught by her hand, and before she could stop her, a strand of hair got out of control and flew towards Zhao Jiamin's cheek, entangled with Zhao Jiamin's hair a little wantonly.

It looks a little funny.

But this time, Ju Jingyi was not amused, she stared blankly at Zhao Jiamin's movements.

This kiss was obviously very gentle, but it was as if something had pierced through her tough outer shell, and the deepest soft place inside was gently touched.

She didn't know what was wrong, but when she saw her hair tangled with Zhao Jiamin's, she suddenly remembered the ancient times when husband and wife tied their hair together.

Get married and know each other, and you will live forever.

"Zhao Jiamin."

Ju Jingyi wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, her heart was full, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined, just like that hair.

Zhao Jiamin raised her head, but did not let go of her hand. Instead, she clasped her fingers together, put her hand into her pocket, and put her messy long hair behind her ear with the other hand, "It's a bit cold outside, Let's go home."

The wind at night is very cold, but her heart is as warm as a stove.

You don't need to raise your head to feel the warmth of Zhao Jiamin's gaze, Ju Jingyi pursed her lips, and a little anger suddenly appeared in her chest.

"Zhao Jiamin."

"Ok?"

"Don't do that again."

"it is good."

With nowhere to vent her anger, Ju Jingyi felt that she was going to lose her temper, "I'm going home."

As he spoke, he was about to take out his hand.

But Zhao Jiamin didn't let go.

"Zhao Jiamin." Ju Jingyi obviously wanted to be angry, but Zhao Jiamin conveyed her nervousness by holding her hand, and subconsciously softened her voice, "My hair is messed up, let me fix it."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiamin glanced at her, "No."

Just like a child.

"Hey."

"Don't let it go." Zhao Jiamin whispered, "If you let it go, there will be no chance."

Ju Jingyi understood the nonsensical words.

She didn't speak for a while, which made Zhao Jiamin's heart cool down bit by bit.

The smile on Zhao Jiamin's lips was bitter, "Me."

Forget it, she was asking too much.

She slightly let go of her hand in her pocket, but she felt that Ju Jingyi exerted a little force and held her hand back, interlocking her fingers.

"Come on, go home."

Zhao Jiamin suddenly lowered her head, but only saw the top of Ju Jingyi's head.

Her voice was muffled, as if she had taken a huge step back, she was aggrieved, "There will be no next time."

It's just as cute as a kitten that hides its paws and pretends to be fierce.

His chest warmed up again, Zhao Jiamin's eyes curled up, "Okay."
