Re-employment after powder removal

They talked on the phone twice before the meeting to determine the specific time and place to meet.

This girl named Le Xinan now lives in the suburbs of a third-tier city that is not too close to him. After getting off the plane, she has to take a car, which is inconvenient.In order to reserve enough time for the conversation, they set the time three days later, and the location was in a small local private restaurant.

Le Xinan said on the phone that the store is quite broken, but it is already the best place nearby. I hope the big stars don't dislike it.

Qiao Lin said of course not, she asked again, do you really want to see me because you trust me?

After giving an affirmative answer, she was not happy at all.

"I don't believe it. You must believe in Chi Xiangzhen. You just want to find a flaw in me to prove your trust."

Qiao Lin couldn't help asking her back: "Then why do you still see me?"

"I want to prove you wrong," she said.

Qiao Lin had seen Le Xinan's face before, after all, he had never let go of any of Chi Xiangzhen's movies in the past.

In my impression, it was a very beautiful girl, with a light figure, quick eyes, and a frown and smile with the unique charm of a girl.At least in that movie, it looked pretty good.

As a boy of the same age as her, Qiao Lin still remembers it vividly after several years.

When the turmoil broke out three years ago, the sentence he used to secretly slander in his heart was, how could such a beautiful girl be so vicious.

So, finally seeing the other party's current appearance with his own eyes, Qiao Lin was really surprised.

He suddenly understood why Chi Xiangzhen guessed that there was something else going on.After all, that didn't seem like a vicious perpetrator should be.

The restaurant that Lexi Nan booked was more grand than what Qiao Lin had expected. It had two upper and lower floors, and it even had a bold name like "Fugui Restaurant". Both the exterior and the interior decoration style were full of the peculiarities of small towns. The temperament is bright and old.

Walking up the narrow wooden stairs to the second floor, you can see two private rooms with open doors on the left and right at a glance.

Just as Qiao Lin was about to look inside, he heard a girl's crisp voice.

"Qiao Lin?"

He turned his head, and a girl in the private room on the left stood up and waved to him.

"Qiao Lin, right, come in."

As she spoke, she probably wanted to smile, but unfortunately, even if the corners of her mouth were moved, her face could not show any joy, instead it made people feel scared.

Contrary to expectations, she seemed to be in a good state of mind. Just looking at those eyes, the pupils were dark and bright, propped up in the big eye sockets, still carrying a bit of the old look.Unfortunately, with the obviously sunken cheeks and excessively thin body, it looks extremely unnatural, even a little scary.

She was as thin as a skeleton wrapped in skin, she couldn't tell her age at first glance, and she was so haggard that she would fall to pieces when the wind blows.

"Hello," Qiao Lin was very nervous. After walking in, he didn't take a seat immediately. He stood by the table and rubbed his hands on his body unconsciously. "Why are you alone?"

"Aren't you alone too?" Le Xinan stopped forcing himself to keep smiling, and raised his hand to signal, "Sit down."

When Qiao Lin took her seat, her eyes subconsciously fell on her left wrist.

There was gauze on it.As if to cover it up, she wore a relatively brightly colored bracelet, but unfortunately, trying to cover it up, it probably only serves as a self-consoling effect.

"I'm not alone. My assistant accompanied me. He's opposite." Qiao Lin pointed out the window.

There is a teahouse across the road, Zhuo Dongliang is waiting for him there.

"What about Chi Xiangzhen, didn't you come together?" Le Xinan asked.

"If he also comes, can you still trust me?" Qiao Lin said, "I really don't want to spy on you, otherwise there is no need to be so troublesome."

"Actually, I'm not alone. My friend is downstairs," Le Xinan said, taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, "Stop talking nonsense, let me show you something."

She said, clicked on the photo album, and pushed the phone in front of Qiao Lin.

Just as Qiao Lin was about to pick it up, a middle-aged woman's voice came from outside the door.She spoke with a strong local accent, and Qiao Lin couldn't understand her at all.

After replying a few words in dialect, Le Xinan said to Qiao Lin: "I ordered some random things before you came, and they are going to serve the food now. Put your hat on, what if people recognize you?"

Before entering the private room, Qiao Lin not only put on a hat, but also put on a pair of plain glasses, and took them off after taking a seat to show politeness.Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, and only put his glasses back on.There is still a hat in the interior, which is too unnatural, but attracts attention.

"With your appearance and attire, in such a small place, you are in a mess." She said again.

Qiao Lin smiled, picked up the phone, and looked it up.

He frowned quickly.

"Is this the evidence you presented in court?" he asked.

In the screenshots of the conversations, the portrait on the left is indeed Chi Xiangzhen's unknown geometric figure, but what he can say is really unbelievable that it came from Chi Xiangzhen's mouth.

"Well," Le Xinan nodded, "I haven't posted these on the public platform. There will be more later, all of them."

It seems that she did not expect that Chi Xiangzhen had mentioned this to him long ago.

"I have a question..." Qiao Lin put down the phone and licked his lips, "Why did you only provide screenshots? With complete chat records as evidence, the effect will definitely be better."

"So, you think I'm cheating, right?" Le Xinan asked.

"No," Qiao Lin said, "I just want to know the reason."

"Because it was deleted," Le Xinan said, "I screenshotted these for my friend to see before, and the friend saved them. After falling out with him, I deleted all his contact information in a fit of anger, and blocked his phone number."

"Maybe you can try to apply to the service provider?" Qiao Lin suggested, "I heard that the chat records of all users are actually stored in the cloud database."

Le Xinan moved his lips, but did not make a sound.

"Listen to me," Qiao Lin looked at her seriously, "I'm really not suspicious of you. You may not guess the reason, but it's because Chi Xiangzhen told me that he doesn't think you're lying."

Le Xinan's eyes widened in an instant: "...What do you mean?"

"He told me that you are not such a vicious girl," Qiao Lin said slowly, "He suspected that you were deceived, and someone used his identity to contact you."

"How is it possible? The contact information we exchanged in person," Le Xinan said with a smile on his face, "He happened to give all the contact information wrong, and the wrong person was still the same person, and that person happened to know the identities of both of us Taking advantage of the trend to deceive? Do you believe this kind of words? Do you have the ability to judge?"

Since Qiao Lin entered the door, her attitude has always been quite peaceful, but now her mood has gradually fluctuated with her words, and her voice and tone have become agitated.

"You believe everything he says, why do you still come to me?"

"No, um, calm down," Qiao Lin was not good at coaxing girls, he was flustered, and tried to reason, "But think about it, if he just lied to me, and I believed him in everything, Then he only needs to insist that you are not a good person, isn’t that all right? Why do you have to fabricate such lies to make me think of coming to you? Isn’t it too redundant? It’s completely leaving hidden dangers for yourself, right? ?”

The seemingly excited Le Xinan listened.She was a little out of breath because she spoke excitedly just now, her eyes drooped slightly, and after sitting in a daze for a while, she finally looked at Qiao Lin again.

"He... Chi Xiangzhen said, I'm not such a vicious person?" Her tone seemed amused.

Qiao Lin nodded.

"What else did he say about me?" Le Xinan asked.

Before Qiao Lin could speak, the door of the private room was pushed open.The waiter brought four cold dishes and placed them on the table one by one.This restaurant looks vulgar, but the dishes are presented decently.

Taking advantage of this time, Qiao Lin carefully organized his words: "He said, you hate him very much..."

"Of course I hate him," Le Xinan interrupted, "Shouldn't I hate him?"

"But he really didn't do those things, and he is willing to believe that you are definitely not... a bad girl. Seeing that you hate him so much, he will guess that there may be something else going on." Qiao Lin said.

Le Xinan seemed to be in a daze.

Her face had always been a bit of an imposing manner that might have been pretended, and her appearance was not as fragile and helpless as described by the girl who posted on Weibo.If you look closely, you can find that she has specially put on makeup to make herself look more energetic.

Le Xinan may have regarded today's meeting as a negotiation or even a demonstration.

But what Qiao Lin said gradually brought her back to her original form.

Le Xinan frowned, clenched his lower lip hard, looking at a loss.This made her already overly thin body look even more slender.

After a while, she shook her head: "...I don't believe it. He must have another purpose."

Compared with Cai Cai's bluff just now, the bewilderment in his tone is obvious.

Qiao Lin was helpless.

It's unbelievable.After Zhuo Dongliang heard what they said that day, he privately told Qiao Lin that Chi Xiangzhen was really amazing, and if he hadn't been extremely scheming, he would be a kind person who is rarely seen in a thousand years.Otherwise, who would be persecuted like this and still be willing to stand on the other side's side and think about whether they have other difficulties.

But how could Chi Xiangzhen have any scheming? Listen to the stupid things he usually said.This person is far more than scheming, he is simply short-sighted.

Qiao Lin couldn't think about this matter, it hurt her heart if she thought about it too much.

"Have you ever thought about it, if, even just in case, he is really wronged, wouldn't that be too pitiful," Qiao Lin said very seriously, unwilling to give up, "People who have done nothing wrong should not To be treated like this?"

Le Xinan lowered his head, and after a few seconds of silence, he said softly: "Then what did I do wrong?"

She read a question into a statement.

When the last word was pronounced, big teardrops fell on her tightly clenched fingers, and her slender and white knuckles trembled slightly.

But in just 5 minutes, this seemingly tough and strong girl suddenly shed tears.

Qiao Lin quickly took out two tissues and handed them over.

"I didn't mean that... I..."

"I don't want to wrong a good person either." Le Xinan took a tissue and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, "but if you want me to believe it, at least you have to show some evidence other than speculation."

what should we do.

The waiter pushed the door in with a plate again, glanced at the few cold dishes on the table that hadn't touched chopsticks at all, and spoke in dialect again.

This time, Le Xinan replied in Mandarin: "No, there is no dislike."

The waiter served two hot dishes and left.

"Eat something," Le Xinan greeted him, "It's all here, don't waste it. But it may not suit the taste of big stars."

"How could it be?" Qiao Lin picked up the chopsticks, "When I was young, I didn't see each other during Chinese New Year, so I could go to a restaurant like this to have a meal."

The two took a few mouthfuls of food quietly, the atmosphere was dull and weird.

"Want a drink?" Le Xinan asked.

"No, I'll drink tea." Qiao Lin put down the bowl and chopsticks, "I...I thought of a circumstantial evidence, I don't know if you want to believe it."

"Tell me?"

"The chat record you showed me just now... There are some words in it, which are really not Brother Zhen's style."

Le Xinan sneered: "No matter how good you are with him, do you know what he will say when he flirts?"

Qiao Lin licked his lips, nodded stiffly.

"...What do you mean?" Le Xinan frowned.

"He...wouldn't ask people for photos," Qiao Lin said.

Le Xinan looked at him.

"Because...because..." Qiao Lin clearly realized that her face had turned red, but she could only bite the bullet and continue, "He never asked me for it...and he wouldn't follow me like this usually Let me talk. Brother Zhen is quite... quite shy in this regard. "

Le Xinan still looked at him, but his eyes opened wider.

"Look, I even told you this," Qiao Lin suppressed an awkward smile at her, "I trust you a lot, don't you?"

"You..." Le Xinan finally had some expression on his face, and repeated, "You..."

Seeing her unbelievable appearance, Qiao Lin decided to strike while the iron was hot and tell a lie.

"So, it's really impossible for Chi Xiangzhen to do that to you," he lowered his voice, "...he's gay."
