In the evening of summer, the food stalls at the door of the roadside string incense sticks are crowded with people, and there are four cold dishes on the square table in the corner, more than a dozen freshly tested meat skewers, tendons and two large strings of kidneys, and two large draft beers on the side of the table.

Two middle-aged men sat opposite each other, and more than 30 bamboo sticks were scattered on the table. The middle-aged man sitting on the left is Fang Yi, eating skewers absentmindedly.

The middle-aged man opposite is his best friend Li Shuming, the same group of colleagues who joined the University of Applied Sciences, and later resigned and became the boss of Brilliant Bath. Brilliant is a set of bathing, leisure, eating and drinking in one of the entertainment and leisure club, in recent years very popular.

Li Shuming has an inch head, a thin figure, a very shrewd appearance, and his eyes are big and shining. Although he is middle-aged, he is getting younger and younger, and he is obviously mixing well!

After a mouthful of Lao Bai's dry stomach, Li Shuming bared his teeth and grinned: "Hey, when you're full, let's get down to business, why did you send me so many WeChat last night, why come back!" Regret it...... What do you mean? ”

"Did I send it?" Fang Yi was stunned and asked confusedly.

Li Shuming didn't talk nonsense with him, directly called up the WeChat record and put it in front of him: "Look at it, if you hadn't sent me these beginnings and tails, I would have run all the way from the city and call you and wouldn't reply, I thought something had happened to you!"

But then again, I haven't seen you for a few months, why are you so haggard? The two of them fought? ”

"I'm sorry, I was drunk last night, and I originally wanted to send it to my daughter-in-law, but I don't know how to send it to you.

I'm a bit complicated about this, and I can't explain it in a sentence or two......" Fang Yi faced the question of his old friend, and told the story of what had happened in the past month or so.

After saying that, he felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, and he was not as depressed as before.

Li Shuming was silent, he put down the draft beer in his hand, picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a Huazi and handed it to Fang Yi, and then lit one himself.

"You know about me, I was at odds with the old principal and the head of the department back then, but now that I think about it, I can't talk about any deep hatred, it's just that my way of doing things is a little different, a little excessive, and they don't like these old antiques.

They suppressed me in the school, marginalized me, and even made me burn the boiler for two years, and just when I thought it was all over, I was fired from the school.

At that time, I couldn't figure it out like you, locked myself in the house, drank and smoked all day, didn't dare to see people, hesitated and helpless for a long time.

Although the family didn't say anything, it was clear from their expressions that they felt that I was embarrassed and made them unable to raise their heads in the village.

When I calmed down, I found that drinking, hesitation, and fear only made me sink deeper, and I didn't have the courage to face those unbearable pasts.

Later I tried to be comfortable with everything that happened, my past, my family, my friends, and found that it didn't seem that difficult.

Since I don't have the courage to die, I have to go back to reality and continue to live, people always have to find a way to live, so I started to borrow money to start a business, but no one was willing to lend it to me, if you hadn't lent me 20,000 yuan, I didn't even have the start-up capital.

Now I have five people and six people, and last year the city evaluated the top ten outstanding young people and awarded me an award! Even the head of the department who didn't look down on me at the beginning was full of praise for me, I knew that everything he said was not sincere, but so what, Lao Tzu was better than him.

Now no one mentions the past anymore, and the people in the village only know that there is a Mr. Li, and they don't remember Mr. Li who was dismissed from the school. ”

After speaking, the cigarette lit up suddenly, and after burning violently, Li Shuming slowly spit out a string of smoke rings, and asked very enjoyably: "Do you know why?" ”

"Because you're developed!" Fang Yi looked up at him and said.

"That's right! Because I am developed, I make more money than them, and I am more famous than them.

What I want to say to you is, let the past pass, don't get entangled, don't hesitate, otherwise your life will be full of negative energy.

Everything that has happened in the past month or so, no matter how unbearable, is just a threshold in your life, and when you cross it, you will be reborn, your father can stand up in the village, and your children will be proud of you; If you can't cross it, you will always be trampled under the feet of others, and you will never be able to lift your head.

There is a saying that if you want to completely solve the dilemma in front of you, there is only one way--- break it, stomp it under your feet, and then climb up with it. Otherwise no one can help you.

God help those who help themselves! Li Shuming narrowed his eyes, smoked a cigarette, and said in the tone of a passerby.

"Well, God helps the self-helper!" Li Shuming's words made Fang Yi firm up his confidence in finding his life, and his eyes slowly changed from confusion to clarity.

"If only you could figure it out, it's not in vain that I drove all the way here. What will you do in the future, do you have any plans? Li Shuming said with a smile.

"Get a job first! Solve the problem of food and clothing. Fang Yi said in a sullen voice.

"A man moves away, but a tree moves away. I support your idea, have you figured out what to do? Brother, I advise you, you must plan later, act and be resolute.

We are children of poor families, and we don't have so many opportunities for trial and error. Li Shuming put away his smile and said seriously.

"To be honest, I've been in college all these years, and I don't know what I can do." Fang Yi smiled bitterly.

"If you don't have a suitable place to go, you can come to my bathing center! Except for the position below my ass, the position is yours to choose. Li Shuming laughed.

"I'm telling you serious, no kidding!" Fang Yi said solemnly: "Help me as a staff officer, what can I do!" ”

Li Shuming took a toothpick from the table and picked his teeth: "I think you have two directions to choose from, one is to go to the enterprise to do business and become a white-collar worker; Another option is to go to a law firm and change your career to become a lawyer, and you have been working as a part-time lawyer in a law firm before.

Your personality, to be honest, is not very suitable for entrepreneurship! ”

Fang Yi pondered for a moment: "Then the legal counsel and the lawyer have developed?" Can you make a lot of money? I want to make money. ”

"It's really hard to say, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The white-collar workers of a large company are like the emperor's harem beauties, with long knowledge but no future, only waiting for death! How much money you make depends on the situation of the enterprise and the character of the boss.

However, you have a fatal shortcoming, that is, age, you are over 35 years old, and you have been teaching at a university, and you have less practical experience, so you do not have an advantage in entering the company. But if you want to join the company, it's not that difficult, I can help you.

There is no cap on the income of a lawyer, but it depends on your resources. It's actually quite difficult to be a lawyer, and if you can't break out, you're a fish!

I remember that you are a doctor of law, a bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree in law, and a serious 800 law graduate, for the time being, the signboard of the law university and the title of doctor are your biggest reliance, it is better for you to become a lawyer, maybe you can create a way, after all, you are familiar with it, not a living! Li Shuming thought for a while.
