Before boarding the plane back to London, Lin Yilong forwarded all the information about the abandoned town of West Gramorgan to his superiors, and copied one copy to the Secretariat and one copy to Miss Whitehouse. After getting off the plane tomorrow, Lin Yilong will go directly back to the financial city to discuss with them face-to-face and digest the information he heard. A few serendipitous encounters saved him time to pivot his investigation, which allowed him to take a big step forward in his work and give him time to reconsider his goals in life during the next 14 hours of his return trip.

I have to say that Lin Yilong is very uneasy about the ideas that burst out of Yanjing by chance, although his current life is a distance from his goal, it is the most stable and appropriate, and the process and results of his efforts are his own. After accidentally becoming the owner of a lost spaceship, although his life remains the same, the accumulated "enterprising spirit" and the opportunity to sell the land in the coal mining town form a joint temptation that is difficult to resist. Whenever he wanted to make a judgment on a major issue, Lin Yilong would write down a question on a blank piece of printer paper with empirical legal logic and ask himself: "Personally, he, Lin Yilong, works hard for a comfortable life in the future, if there is such an opportunity for him to realize such a future, then does he need to continue to work hard? If external factors and human society change, can this life be guaranteed to remain stable?" Even if both questions can be answered in the affirmative, is there any other reason to prevent or limit him from getting answers to the opposite questions?"

The answer to the first question can get a very simple "yes", the second answer can also make an affirmative conclusion without hesitation after obtaining the technology of the lost civilization spaceship, and as for the third question, the only factor that can prevent Lin Yilong from giving up the fruits of his own struggle for several years is regret - as for the other factors, it is only the expected impact of his affirmative conclusion.

In the few hours on his return trip, Lin Yilong has actually been struggling with the last of these three questions: If you take an example as an analogy, it is probably the owner of a company with 10 million annual profits but little room for development, and he won the lottery jackpot and got 2 billion, so for him personally, should he give up his original career and focus on his personal life? Lin Yilong finally chose the latter between his unwillingness in his career and his private life. He then drafted a letter of resignation and, after making a lot of determination, finally clicked the "send" button in the lower left corner of the window.

Because of the computing power of the spaceship of the lost civilization, Lin Yilong easily got a sum of money, except for his small deposit, the rest belonged to the ownerless inheritance that was about to be confiscated by the loss of the legal heir. Years of legal education have made Lin Yilong have no interest in "directly plundering" public and private property, but he is still disrespectful and at ease with this so-called "no one loses" money.

Lin Yilong, who was physically and mentally exhausted, fell asleep with alpha waves in the dim light.

The flight from Pujiang to Heathrow arrived in London at 3:50 am GMT, five hours before the opening of Alan Binghamton. This time is enough for Lin Yilong to go back to his accommodation to take a shower, change his clothes and go to the breakfast stall next to the subway station to enjoy a full meal of English breakfast. By the time he returned to London 48 hours later, the city was still bustling.

Lin Yilong returned to his cubicle and took a moment to read the summary of the law firm's meeting as he left—it was clear that the subprime mortgage crisis was affecting the law firm's operations, and the already busy litigation and labor dispute departments were even more short of manpower, while the commercial development and Lin Yilong's commercial enterprise department had nothing to do. Obviously, some people are about to be transferred to different departments, and Lin Yilong, who has the qualifications to debate in the Supreme Court, must be on the list of personnel transferred, and unfortunately, he has chosen to resign.

"How's the business trip in Yenching?" asked Karen Whitehouse, who was supposed to be her first international trip as a trainee lawyer, but she was temporarily transferred to audit the accounts by another senior Margaret Evans in the department, leaving Lin Yilong, a junior assistant who had just left and no one to work with, to go to Yenching alone.

Incidentally, Karen Whitehouse graduated from Durham University and was recruited to Alan Binghamton (AB) as a trainee before completing her university studies, and after completing her legal practice course in Capland, she went straight to AB as a subordinate to Lin Yilong, who was also a newcomer to the law firm.

"It's not interesting, especially when you're flying on a plane for almost 30 hours straight without a break. Lin Yilong replied, "I really hope you can go with me." ”

That's right, the tall, well-eyed and tall Karen has lethal power to Lin Yilong, but he won't think about it. Because even if the two are in love, the whole thing will ferment into a workplace scandal, and Lin Yilong, who cherishes his feathers, will naturally not do that. Lin Yilong, who knows that he is hopeless, can maintain a certain degree of closeness with Karen more openly, and the two can talk about some private topics, and no one will gossip.

"Easy, Mr. Davis wants you to go to his office before the morning meeting. Lin Yilong's partner, Margaret Evans, heard the conversation between Lin Yilong and Karen in his compartment and knew that Lin Yilong was ready to go to work. As an old man in the company's legal department, as the head of this department, I have to keep in touch with my partner Davis even at other times.

Lin Yilong nodded to her, and then appeared in Mr. Davis's office.

"Good morning, easy. What's the matter, I'm tired from this trip to the Far East. Mr. Davis asked, it was clear that he had read Lin Yilong's resignation letter, "If you need some time to recuperate, you can bring it up." ”

The Far East gains represented by Mr. Lin are a new source of growth in Alan Binghamton's financial statements, which has been established for an infrequent period of time but has always been able to maintain a surplus, unlike the firm's office in the North of England, which is often in the red. Of course, the law firm is not willing to lose a comprehensive contact candidate like Lin Yilong, and must try to retain it.

"Thank you for taking care of me for so long, but I'm really quitting. Lin Yilong replied, "My parents are going to Wales to retire, and I don't want to live too far away from them. ”

This answer surprised Mr Davies: expatriate lawyers in the jurisdiction of England and Wales would choose to stay in London longer in order to earn a better income, even for pension or social welfare reasons, and would choose South West England rather than Wales.
