"Being red apricot out of the wall? Is that your girlfriend Shen Qian? Hong Yan asked with interest.

"Ahh I couldn't help but sneer.

When Hong Yan wanted to continue to ask questions, I stopped when I said, "Stop, stop it." ”

"Actually, I just broke up with my partner." Hong Yan stared at me calmly as she spoke, trying to judge from my eyes whether I was interested in her. This is a hint in the first place, obviously.

"That's right, let's get together." I jokingly tempted.

"Okay, I'll see it."

"Can you be a little more sloppy?"

……

Hong Yan and I came together inexplicably from a joke, without twisting, without confession, and without even making our relationship clear. We tacitly walked together and shuttled through the streets and alleys of Hohshi, eating together and looking for a job together. With a companion, I didn't feel so sad in my heart, and my nostalgia for Shen Qian began to become more and more weak. My focus began to return to work, and I set my sights on a large partnership law firm called Zhongdao. Maybe it's the meaning of "golden mean", who knows?

This law firm is one of the leading authorities in Hohhot, with many well-known and mature lawyers with excellent business under its name. The studio has offices in Zhongshan West Road and Wanda (East) Plaza, the most prosperous areas in Hoh: such as Victoria Commercial Building, Hailiang Plaza, Moore City, etc. This circle is not big, I missed my favorite place, not so much betrayed by Shen Qian, but by the fact that my self-esteem was stung by reality. I don't think about the small law firm anymore, I almost put all my mind on the middle way in a desperate way. Maybe I'm whimsical, crazy, and obsessed, but if I can successfully settle in the middle way, whether it is the current welfare package or the future career planning prospects, it will be smooth sailing.

Every day I always take the time to stand at the foot of the huge neon sign and look up at the golden sign of the middle way, it has a magical power that always fascinates me. The founders of the firm are three senior lawyers in the industry, a man named Zhang Shiren is well-known in the legal industry, and many shareholders have poured in funds as investments. Whether it is the scale, management or team, it is impeccable, and when I introduced Zhang Shiren to Hong Yan, I was inexplicably excited. Hong Yan quipped and said, why is it more exaggerated and hard-working to introduce others than to brag about yourself? I said that Zhang Shiren is a god-like existence in our lawyer's profession and my idol in the scope of Hoh. To exaggerate, it is like Bill Gates in the Internet circle, Yao Ming in the Chinese sports superstar basketball world, they are all unprecedented in the industry to which they belong.

Zhang Shiren, young and promising, talented in his forties, self-made. Whether it is personal ability or the network of funds introduced, it is out of reach of us. Although I was fortunate enough to attend a large interview organized by the Middle Way, it was like fishing for the moon in the sea and there was no movement.

I wasn't discouraged, and I expected that such an ideal place would be difficult for ordinary people to enter. I had a way out for myself, I was ready for my next home, and before my savings in Kunming were gone, I couldn't find a more suitable job, so I had to settle for the next best thing. Of course, this is not the same place I missed in the first place.

When I accompanied Hong Yan to Wanda Cinema to watch a movie, I seemed to see Shen Qian's figure, but I hurriedly got into the corner of the well-versed corner. "What are you looking at?" Hong Yan asked me. I thought to myself, maybe I owe Shen Qian an explanation, even if it is a breakup, we should make it clear in person. But I never made up my mind to take the initiative to contact Shen Qian, and I think Shen Qian and I can only slowly forget about it with the passage of time.

My days, in the company of Hong Yan, were as plain as water and lackluster. Hong Yan and I look no different from ordinary couples, but I never take the initiative to ask her for emotional feedback, and of course I never refuse her considerate care of my life. She found an unsatisfactory job, working as an assistant to an elderly man in a private psychiatric clinic. This helped me think of another breakthrough, I took the initiative to call the personnel of Nakado, and I enthusiastically conveyed my willingness to work as an assistant in the law firm, although I gave my personal information in detail and tried my best, but there was still no response. People are always easy to get along with people, Hong Yan's work began to get on the right track, step by step, my days are not a way to go on day by day, I immediately decided to settle down first, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Just when I was reluctant to prepare to go to work at the law firm the next day, things took a turn for the better. One weekend night, I received a private call from the HR department of Zhongdao Law Firm. At first, I thought it was a scammer, and I couldn't help but suspect that the private phone call was made at night when it was not working hours.

The HR manager told me that because of my mediocre education and low qualifications, the management of the HR department of the law firm decided to train me as a young and the only newcomer recruited this year. I have repeatedly confirmed that the personnel manager took the trouble to explain, you really passed the interview, congratulations, Qin Yuan, you were admitted.

"Really? Are you really not lying to me? Where are you located? ”

“…… Really, congratulations, and welcome to officially become a member of the Middle Way. ”

I excitedly agreed to report the next day, and then told Hong Yan. She seemed more excited than me, and she had to come to a small celebration immediately, so we bought meat, vegetables, wine and hot pot base and decided to go to Zhang Zheyi's rental house to share the joy. Zhang Zheyi is not a local, he belongs to Jining District, Ulanchabu City, Linbian, Hoh, at that time, he had just gone to work, and rented a one-bedroom apartment not far from the unit.

The three of us gathered in the rental house, picking vegetables, boiling water, and tidying up pots and pans, and soon the steaming mutton was on the table. During the banquet, at the instigation of Hong Yan and Zhang Zheyi, I drank a little more wine, and drank a small glass of low-alcohol Mongolian kings. I found out that Hong Yan is a man with an extraordinary amount of alcohol. Half of the meal was eaten, and the wine was over. A false illusion of harmony began to be revealed.

"Why are you two so girly, two old men and one small cup each?" Hong Yan made fun of me and Zhang Zheyi.

"It's rare that I haven't vomited until now, pour some for Zhang Zheyi, he has a little bit of alcohol." I smoothly turned my attention to Zhang Zheyi alone.

Zhang Zheyi obediently poured another small glass, and he was already slightly drunk and talked more. "Something is wrong with you two, what are you holding back? Didn't I help you celebrate, Qin Yuan? I'll tell you the truth, I also went to the interview for the middle way you voted for. People didn't want me, but it's normal, the threshold of the middle way is high. Qin Yuan, in all fairness, let's put our resumes on the table, who can people fancy? ”

I didn't pay attention to it, these words were a bit harsh, and I watched Zhang Zheyi eat and drink while eating, and his face was flushed. I'm not sure if he's drunk and spouting the truth or if he's working hard all day long and has nowhere to vent. He began to mess around: "I don't look down on you for our grades in school, Qin Yuan, my grades in school are among the best." The four-year national scholarship didn't run at all, I said second, who dares to say first? I didn't want to deal with him, so I turned over angrily, and Hong Yan began to take my hand and comfort me after observing the words. Zhang Zheyi didn't talk about it at all, and then said: "Besides, this year's internship, what do you have in the Kunming law firm, is it reliable for you to run so far with your children's love?" I was interning at a big law firm, and you said it yourself, Qin Yuan, let's compare the two of us on the table at present, who will be chosen among the people? Cut, Qin Yuan, your life is really good! ”
