In the end, Shen Xiu and Chen Qianye didn’t have a pleasant chat.
Jiang Tong also seized the time to deal with the follow-up work of her cases.
She finally finished all her work before noon.
Sitting in her office chair, she stretched lazily and glanced at the clock on the wall.
13:12
The school anniversary speech at Hengchuan Middle School starts at 14:00, she should still have enough time to make it, especially since she doesn’t have any classes this afternoon, she could leave now.
Thinking this, she stood up and walked out of the office hall, clocking out.
At the corner, she ran into Shen Xiu again, who was grinning mischievously.
"Sister Tong off work? Leaving this early to see Minister Bo?"
Jiang Tong gave him a faint glance, lips slightly curled, "You sure have a lot to say lately, is it because you have no documents to work on, just so I..."
"Huh? What!? Mr. Xu seems to be calling me over, bye for now, Sister Tong."
At the mention of overtime to do documents, Shen Xiu was instantly too scared to say anything, and disappeared in a flash as if he had greased his heels.
Regarding him, Jiang Tong could only shake her head helplessly.
...
Hengchuan Middle School.
Because of Chen Changlu’s reminder, Jiang Tong particularly paid attention to the files sent over by Hengchuan.
So this time she didn’t carelessly lose the invitation.
The black BMW THX X1 slowly drove into the familiar yet unfamiliar school road.
Jiang Tong squinted her eyes slightly, opened the car door, and stepped onto the campus road.
The school road was beautifully decorated with star lights hanging on the surrounding trees.
There was also a row of wish cards stretched around the tree trunks, and several students in school uniforms gathered around, giggling; they were probably discussing what to write on the wish cards.
Jiang Tong sighed, feeling a bit sentimental at the scene before her.
Time truly flies.
Back in her day at Hengchuan Middle School, she was the wildest one of her batch.
But that’s all in the past now.
She shrugged her shoulders, intending to leave the school road, when she suddenly heard a tentative call from behind.
"Jiang Tong?"
Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Tong was slightly stunned, and it kept overlapping with the authoritative voice in her memory.
She turned around and saw the already aged woman in front of her, the corners of her eyes turning red, "Teacher Duan..."
This was her politics teacher in her senior year, also her homeroom teacher.
If it weren’t for her, she might have given up on the college entrance exam because of that incident back then...
Duan Yujie was still holding a textbook, and pushed up her reading glasses, "Jiang Tong, it really is you, it’s been such a long time."
"Long time no see, Teacher Duan."
Reuniting with her mentor after all these years stirred even more emotions in Jiang Tong’s heart.
"Haven’t seen you in so long, you became a prosecutor?" Because Jiang Tong rushed over in a hurry, she hadn’t changed her clothes, so Duan Yujie could see at once.
Upon hearing that, Jiang Tong awkwardly scratched her head, "Yeah."
Back then, she didn’t aspire to be a prosecutor as much as a lawyer.
It was due to certain changes that she chose to become a prosecutor.
Duan Yujie smiled, "That’s wonderful, I saw your name on the school’s honor board last time, never expected my student to be so outstanding."
"Teacher, you’re flattering me, you’re making me embarrassed."
Being praised heavily by her mentor, Jiang Tong’s cheeks gradually turned a light shade of red.
"Hahaha, don’t be shy, you’re indeed outstanding, otherwise you wouldn’t have been the top scorer in the Beijing college entrance exam that year, but if Bao Nan from your batch had also taken the exam, maybe you two could have competed for the top scorer title..."
