October 25-31, 2012

Lawyer Ma found out that Yi Xu's father left the country for Russia on October 12, 1989, when it was still the Soviet Union, and there was no record of returning to China. In other words, it has only been four days since Yi Xu turned old, and there is no longer a father. His father's name is Duan Caihuan, Yi Xu's original name was "Duan Yuan", and he changed his name to "Yi Xu" when he was five years old. When Yi Xu was born, I don't know what kind of wish his parents made for him, five years later, his mother asked him to take his surname and name "Xu", maybe he hopes that the surname continues, life continues, happiness continues, and wishes continue, I think the more important thing is that the disconnected family can continue, even if there are only two people in the family from then on.

Lawyer Ma also said that the police once again investigated the neighbors of Yi Xu's family. No suspicious characters were found. The neighbors in that building, upstairs and downstairs are not familiar with each other, and except for Yi Xu's family, they have all moved in in the past three or four years, so the neighbors who Yi Xu helped supervise in his first year of high school may have moved out a long time ago, but he just didn't know it. And now the grievances of the neighbors are quite big, two people died in one night, it is still a homicide, and the case has not been solved, they all feel eerie and terrifying, and they are afraid that they will turn into ghosts and come back to ask for the lives of others. The one upstairs in Yi Xu, who had just negotiated the price and was ready to sell the house, went to study in the United States for the sake of his children, and now no one wants a 20% price reduction. On the same floor, six of the nine households were empty, some of them borrowed from relatives and friends, and some simply rented houses elsewhere.

I have always insisted on writing letters to Yi Xu. Each letter was very short, and I told me that I missed him and asked him to come out and be reunited. Tell him I know he's suffering, come out quickly, I'm going to take good care of him. Tell him to actively cooperate with the police, to see a lawyer, and let everyone help together! I really wanted to ask about the case directly, but the detention center stipulated that the case should not be mentioned, otherwise the letter would be confiscated, and I had no choice but to give up. So there are thousands of words about concern, worry, and encouragement, but I really don't know which word to write more. There are always more tears than words.

I didn't wait for a reply, let alone the good news that Yi Xu spoke or asked to see a lawyer, the letters went in one by one, but the feedback was in vain.

The bird was dying, and there was still a song, but he never made a sound. Is man's desire to survive worse than a bird?

I would go to the detention center with the materials that needed to be translated, and I would sit on the ground with my back against a high wall, and my pen was much slower than that of a computer, and what I could do in three hours with a computer could take five hours with a pen. But that's what I want to do. Accompanying him like this is like I've been trying to do something. In fact, the longer I spent there, the more I missed, worried, and scared. But he was reluctant to leave. Besides, I also want to give Zhang Yi and Zhang Hengli more time to be alone. They have not seen them as often in the past two years as we did when we were students. Also, every time the three of us were together, my heart hurt even more. Before I came back, I thought it was a reunion of four people, but now it is only a reunion of three people, and Yi Xu is suffering alone elsewhere.

Zhang Hengli's bed was vacant, and the hospital informed him to go through the admission procedures the next morning. Zhang Yi asked Zhang Hengli not to tell the family, and it was not that there were no medical expenses or minor surgery, so don't let your parents worry about it.

I felt that it was inappropriate, so I persuaded Zhang Yi while Zhang Hengli was taking a bath. After all, it is an operation, and if you need to use a knife to cut the flesh and skin, it is best to tell his family that his parents have the right to know.

Zhang Yi was silent on the balcony for a long time, there was always some grief between her eyebrows, she said: "Okay, there are still a few days of time to recuperate before the surgery, and they will be notified when the date of the surgery is determined." ”

Zhang Hengli went through the admission procedures and went out to eat with his colleagues. Those former colleagues knew that he was going to have surgery, and they had dinner to cheer him up, and at the same time officially welcomed him out of the company.

Zhang Yi told him that he couldn't drink or was not at ease, so he called me to go with him, chose a position facing Zhang Hengli, and supervised him while eating. I think it's too exaggerated, how old is Zhang Hengli, and Zhang Yi still treats him as a child.

"You can order it." Zhang Yi said.

I laughed and said, "You're really changing sex today, and you actually said let me order first?" Won't I overturn them all? ”

"No, it won't." She said, "It's up to you to decide all the dishes today." ”

"Really?"

She lowered her voice and roared, "I really won't! ”

I quickly said, "Then I can bite whatever I want?" ”

"Hmm."

"One flavor shrimp, one spinach, one ant on the tree, do you think it's okay?" I said flipping through the menu.

"I want to have some drink." She said.

"Huh?" I was amazed. It was the first time in my life that I had heard her say that.

"We're more comfortable drinking."

"I can't drink it." I spread out my hands.

"You didn't have a period."

"Did you forget? I promised not to drink! ”

How could she forget? Didn't it happen at her house? She has always had such a good memory!

She sighed and beckoned the waiter over, "One flavored shrimp, one spinach, one ant on the tree, two rice, one bottle of orange juice and one bottle of two pot heads." Bring up the orange juice and wine first. ”

She poured herself a small glass of wine, held it up, and said, "Xijia, you like to drink." ”

What she said in her heart was, Xijia, you like to drink, right?

"Yes." I say.

"You can bear it."

What she wants to say is, can you hold back?

I said, "I can." I've been working in a bar for over a year, and I've managed to resist the temptation, and I'm absolutely literally literal!"

She raised her head and took a drink, and said, "Easy continuation is the menstrual period of your life." Because of him, you have to come back from Germany, you can't drink, you can't make close male friends other than Zhang Hengli, there are so many good men outside, you have to hang yourself with him! ”

"Not making close male friends other than Zhang Hengli is not a request from Yi Xu, I am such an awkward and unpopular person! Women have periods, which means that they are young enough, which is a good thing. ”

"But he made you experience menstrual cramps, and the painful teeth and claws died and came back to life." She poured another glass as she spoke.

"Drink slowly! Are you drunk and more uncontrollable than me and Zhang Hengli! ”

She looked towards Zhang Hengli's table.

"He didn't drink, don't worry." I say.

"The best way to solve menstrual cramps, I'm going to tell you."

"I know, have a baby! I'll give birth when I come out! ”

I digress and I don't have menstrual cramps. Zhang Yi just made an analogy.

"Divert attention." She said, raised her head and drank again, "You go to Shenzhen, more than a dozen customers of the company have paid the deposit or even the full payment, and if they have not yet shipped, they will not ship on time, and a large amount of compensation will be generated." In particular, there are four important customers of the company, and if these customers are lost, the company may not be able to hold on. Lin Musen couldn't get it alone. ”

I was shocked: "I'm still going to Shenzhen like this?" If his life can't be saved, what's the use of the company's good work? The priorities are reversed! ”

"If you stick to Changsha, there will be no progress. If I were Yi Xu, I would care about my mother's years of hard work, this is the wealth and legacy she left behind, something that can be inherited and carried forward. If you can work hard for it, he will realize that he is not qualified to give up. It would be good to be able to do this well, to be able to give him some encouragement and touch. ”

"What you say is completely unconvincing! If Yi continues to kill people, no matter how good the company is, it can't help him clear his name. If Yi Xu hadn't killed anyone, but didn't let a lawyer help him, he might not have figured it out, he didn't even care about his life, would he still care about the quality of the company? ”

"Then you made a mistake to find his girlfriend before. If Yi continues to kill someone, his girlfriend can't help him clear his name. didn't kill anyone, he didn't even care about his life, and he didn't care about his girlfriend. ”

"I think ......"

"You think his girlfriend can make him feel like he should cherish this life. The reason is the same, maybe he cares more about money than women! Xijia, you are his girlfriend, but he didn't cherish this life for you. Because your approach is wrong. ”

I looked at her in disbelief.

"I think it's very likely that he thinks that his only family in the world, his mother's twenty years of youth and years, hard work and sweat, the company he has built is more important than the love he has only had for five or six years! No, you can't accept this sentence, I'll say it in another way. Let me give you an analogy, now that there is a sudden earthquake in Changsha, you will first think about whether Yi Xu is injured, and then think about whether your house is in ruins. It is human nature to think of people first and then to things, and when people encounter disasters, they must be more emotional than rational at the first time. However, when people stand up, they must be for the sake of 'things', which is part of human reason. Sensibility makes people sad, and reason makes people overcome sadness. If Yi Xu can think of anything outside in the guard, it must be thinking of you first, and then thinking of the company. But thinking of you is not enough to wake him up to take that step, because you have family, friends, and support, and you can still live without him. At this time, his thoughts were broken, and his actions were broken. What you have to do now is to pick up his thoughts, and you have to remind him that he has obligations and responsibilities to this company! It was his responsibility to his mother, to his family, and no one could replace it. ”

"No, I can't leave Changsha. What if lawyer Ma needs me to help him do something, what can I do if I am not in Changsha? I have to be on call! Time was too tight for me to leave. I don't completely ignore what you said, I will write a letter tomorrow to tell the current situation of Yixu Company, and it is best to persuade Lin Musen to write one as well. ”

"If you go to Shenzhen for three weeks, as long as it takes three weeks, the company will give you a salary of 10,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan, and you will have to review and prosecute in minutes, and you don't have the lawyer's fees for the next stage. You can't expect you to pay two hundred or three hundred per day as a freelance translator. There are no attorney's fees, and your Ma lawyer will not do anything for you again. ”

"Fifteen thousand is not enough! The lawyer's fee is 30,000 yuan! ”

"I'll give you twenty thousand. It's not to borrow, it's to give! ”

"I'll think of another way for money." I said, "There's always another way!" Tomorrow is November, don't you have to go to work at a new company? How can I still take money from my previous company, and how can I still care about things over there? ”

"I haven't handed over yet, and Manager Liang has never returned to the company, saying that he is old and has just returned home from the hospital, and his wound is infected again. She didn't know I was looking for a new job. I'm going to help you earn that little money, it's easy. ”

I still don't think it's right, I really don't dare to leave Changsha. Although I haven't done anything but write letters these days due to Lawyer Ma's explanation, what if he needs me?

Zhang Yi tilted his head to the side in dissatisfaction. His eyes stared at Zhang Hengli for a long time. finally said: "Zhang Hengli said that I like Yi Xu. ”

It was like a bolt of lightning struck me. "I ...... I don't believe it. ”

I stumbled, it's not that my heart is weak, Zhang Yi likes Zhang Hengli, it won't be wrong. I was surprised that she actually took the initiative to talk about this topic. I didn't say a word about it before, and I just wanted to let it pass quietly.

"It's true." She actually said.

"Impossible!" I say.

"Possibly." She added.

I thought to myself, how is this possible? Yi Xu's voice was almost in his ears, and he said: "Oh no, Zhang Yi likes Zhang Hengli." "You pay attention to Zhang Yi's eyes when she looks at Zhang Hengli, and then look at the way she looks at me." "You pay attention to Zhang Yi's expression when he looks at the two of us staying together, and then look at Zhang Hengli and Gao Run's expression when they stay together."

Zhang Yi's eyes haven't changed! She likes Zhang Hengli, that's right! So how can you like easy to continue?

"How so? You're not ......."

"Say." She said.

"Aren't you my good friend? Easy to continue is not my boyfriend? "I almost said I know who you like, but I still can't help but say it, she's different from me, I'm thick-skinned, she has too much self-esteem, and piercing her secret is equivalent to piercing her heart.

But she's poking me in the heart right now.

"It's all right, it doesn't matter whether I like him or not. You didn't know him back then, you could like him, but I know him, and it's easier to like him. Zhang Hengli also said that Yi Xu can get me done with one sentence, which is the early warning of liking. He is smart, generous, athletic, knowledgeable, tall enough to grow and low-key, he is the best of the people I know, you know how good my grades have been since I was a child, I like the best is my inertia, I can't control it. But I didn't want to hurt you, I didn't make him my boyfriend, it's already good to you. ”

My heart stopped almost for two seconds. Zhang Yi's description of Yi Xu is too close to what I told her boyfriend what it should be like.

She continued: "Also, you know how much I like money, Yi Xu helped me find so much money, and he has more money at home, I like it so much, I can't help it." ”

"Zhang Hengli is the one who helps you the most! Your high school tuition, living expenses, your house, and his companionship for more than eight years......"

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes were blank for a while, and then he suddenly pointed at Zhang Hengli and said with a smile: "Look at him, you can drop two pieces of broccoli on the table when you eat, I am tired enough in my life, picking this kind of person is equivalent to picking a son!" If he hadn't given me that house, I wouldn't care if he could go to the toilet or drink! ”

"I still don't believe it."

I was in a mess, could it be that Yi Xu was wrong? Or Zhang Yi's eyes have changed, but I can't see it. A few days ago, Grace complimented me on my good eyes!

"You told me that Yi continued to be attentive and split, and you scolded him so badly in front of me, and now you say that he is the best person you know? How can you bear to wronged him if you like him? ”

"This is Zhang Hengli's ghost idea, I just don't want to expose him."

"I borrowed money from you to hire a lawyer, but you won't be."

"Because I know your lawyer isn't up to the task. I love money and never waste it. ”

"The lawyer who went to the detention center once, did you invite him?"

"Yes."

"Why did you hire a lawyer who specializes in economics? You wouldn't make such a low-level mistake, would you? ”

"I found a law firm, and they sent the lawyer themselves, maybe the lawyer in charge of the criminal case happened to be unavailable in those days, and the economic lawyer helped him take the case. Who knows if you go once and you won't use it. This mistake is not called low-level, it is that they do whatever it takes to take over the business, and I am also short of experience. ”

"You gave those clothes too?"

"Yes."

"How many were sent?"

"7 T-shirts, 7 pairs of pants, and 7 pairs of underwear, and 3 coats for fear of changing the day."

"How am I ...... How is it still ...... Can't believe it? "I panicked. How can I believe that we grew up together and avoided growing up alone, and our loyal partners for many years suddenly became rivals in love?

"I'll make you believe it!" She said, "I have the proof, I'll show it to you later." But you promise me first, if you feel credible, go to Shenzhen as soon as possible, and work hard after going to Shenzhen, you can write a letter to Yi Xu, and you can write the same. Don't stay in Changsha, don't make me feel constrained, don't delay me saving people. ”

"You're going to save him? What can you do, can you say it, let's discuss it with Lawyer Ma! ”

"There's no need to negotiate. I know two dead people, you don't. I also know a lot of other things that you don't know, including how to save people. Don't try to get me to explain to you and share it with you, I'm such an awkward person, we've known each other for more than twenty-four years, and it's up to you to decide whether you should listen to what I'm saying. I'll make a very simple analogy, I know that Yi Xu has eaten two eggs for breakfast every time in the past two years, do you know? ”

For the first second, I almost blurted out "Impossible!" ”

Yi Xu doesn't care too much about "eating", anything that can be sent to his mouth, chewed, and swallowed is food for him. He walked down the street, feeling hungry, and looked up to see which restaurant or shop or stall was the closest, not expensive, and he didn't have to wait in line. The less popular he is, the more he likes it. So many of the stores that Yi Xu went to eat and passed by the second time and have closed down.

But the second second, I couldn't say, "Impossible!" ”

In the past two years, there have indeed been some changes in Yixu. In order to stop looking like a child, he started wearing shirts and suits. In order to match the suit, he also kept his hair long and put it on with a wax comb, so that others would not think that he was a child pretending to be an adult. The first time he combed that hairstyle, put on that suit and made a video with me, he said, "Look, I look like a dog!"

Due to the time difference, our contact is generally between the time I wake up and the time I go to sleep. I usually wake up between 7 and 8 a.m. German time, which is between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Beijing time. From 8 to 9 a.m. in Germany, it was 1 to 3 a.m. in Germany, and I slept soundest. I might ask what I had for dinner or supper, but I didn't have a chance to ask about breakfast. Only two or three times, I said that I wanted to die Yang Yuxing's rice noodles and the spicy beef buns from the steamed bun shop on the school street, and when I got up the next morning, I received a photo of Yi Xu, and he ate it for me. If he had developed the habit of eating eggs in the morning, and thought it was not worth mentioning, he didn't tell me, and I rarely mentioned breakfast to him because of the time difference, it was not impossible.

Even if he got into the habit of eating two eggs a morning, he was still the same teenager who coped with it, just like the first thing he did when he got home was to change into his T-shirt and sweatpants.

"Can you really get Yi Xu out?" I asked Zhang Yi.

"See if you want to believe it."

"If you really like him, why are you doing it now?"

"I've been doing things, I just didn't tell you!"

"How long will it take?"

"Three weeks, a month at most. If it goes well, you'll be able to see him when you come back from a business trip. ”

"If you're really that confident, do I still need to raise legal fees? You still give me fifteen thousand privately? ”

"I just know you, you won't be at ease if you don't do it both ways. Fifteen thousand given by a private person, because this matter is very important, I can pay for it, and you judge me for not caring or not. ”

"Really?"

"Believe it or not."

"How could you...... How do you like easy to continue? "I still can't accept it.

"Don't be verbose, I'll show you the evidence."

She called Lin Musen and asked if he was in the company.

Zhang Yi gave me her keychain and told me that the three small silver keys were the filing cabinet in the finance room. Go to the third document cabinet, which is the personnel department, to see the contract she signed with the company.

"Zhang Yi said that you came to see the contract, you won't do anything else except the contract, right? Why am I so afraid to let you in? "Lin Musen blocked the door and didn't let me in.

"Nothing else." I say.

"You swear!"

"I swear."

I found Zhang Yi's contract. There are three servings.

The first was a probationary contract, signed on 25 September 2010 for a period of three months.

The second contract was signed on December 25 for a period of two years.

The third contract was signed on February 18, 2011 for a period of two years. The first and second contracts were a reasonable transition, and the reason why the third contract existed was because Zhang Yi initially entered the sales department instead of the finance department.

Zhang Yi is a student of finance and accounting, with excellent grades, and attaches great importance to his major, even if he is not satisfied with his last job, he should not give up his major for five months, and devote himself to the company of Yixu's mother and the department where Yixu is located. I checked the other contracts of the finance department, and when Zhang Yi joined the company, there was no shortage of people in the finance department, and she waited until there was a financial resignation after the Spring Festival of the next year to arrive in this department.

Zhang Yi said that when you see the contract, you see the evidence. She was telling me that she was working for Yi Xu to enter this company, and she had done professional and inappropriate foreign trade sales for Yi Xu for five months. With her character, she can be regarded as enduring humiliation. She can endure humiliation like this, what other reason can she have besides "liking"?

I locked the filing cabinet, turned off the lights and doors in the finance room, and my heart, which had been beating in chaos for nearly an hour, gradually calmed down.

Lin Musen has been watching me from the outside, afraid that I will steal something and sell it, and then it will affect him.

I grinned, I knew it must be ugly, but it was a laugh, and I said with relief, "One more person saves it!" ”

"What did you say?"

I couldn't help but nag, "What if I still can't believe it?" ”
