Chapter 63: There is no road in vain
"You think too much, he's not a prince. His father is Mr. Zhou's eldest brother, and he is Mr. Zhou's nephew. Sister Lan said.
"Oh, I thought it was the prince of the Defa Group." There was a hint of disappointment in Fang Yi's tone.
"Don't underestimate him, Mr. Zhou's son majored in art abroad and didn't care about the family's business, and his daughter was only in high school.
Only this nephew is the most valued by Mr. Zhou, don't look at him as just a lawyer, but he has played a big role in giving advice to Mr. Zhou over the years. Now he is the general counsel of the Defa Group, and it is said that the Defa Group is preparing to go public, and he has the credit for this.
If my son had half the ability, I wouldn't have been so worried, and I would definitely have taken a pig's head to the temple to burn high incense for a month. Sister Lan said enviously.
"Sister Lan, how do you know so much?" Fang Yi was surprised. From Sister Lan's expression when she saw Zhou Shen before, Fang Yi deduced that Sister Lan should not know Zhou Shen.
"I've heard of him, too, and I haven't seen him before. As soon as Mr. Liu said upstairs today, I learned that Lawyer Zhou was Mr. Zhou's nephew Zhou Shen. Sister Lan said.
"I really didn't expect ......," Fang Yi muttered.
"I didn't expect that by mistake, I would actually touch his light today." Sister Lan said.
"You mean that Mr. Liu's exemption from kickbacks today is because of him?" Fang Yi said suddenly.
"Who else could it be because of? It can't be the two of us! Sister Lan smiled and said: "You take this, anyway, tomorrow is Saturday, and you won't go to work, so find an opportunity to invite Lawyer Zhou to have a meal and pull the relationship." Good for you. ”
Sister Lan handed a thick red envelope to Fang Yi and added, "I came out in a hurry today, I didn't bring so much, don't be too little." ”
"How can this be done, how can I use your money for my treat." Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"Just because Mr. Liu is exempt from the project rebate today, I also have to pay you a benefit fee. You deserve it, don't grind. Sister Lan said with a straight face.
"Okay, I'll keep the money. Thank you, Sister Lan. Fang Yi put away the red envelope.
Sister Lan saw Fang Yi accept the red envelope, and there was a smile on her face again, this red envelope was originally prepared for Mr. Liu, who knew that Mr. Liu's heart was black, and he raised the benefit fee by 20%. Sister Lan was angry, so she didn't take this red envelope, it happened to be cheaper than Fang Yi.
came out of the teahouse, Sister Lan went back to the county directly, Fang Yi didn't go back, he had money in his hand, he wanted to go to the mall and buy a laptop for his son.
Fang Yi went to Brilliant first, he didn't understand computers, but Li Shuming worked as a computer agent in his early years, and he had a wide range of contacts, so he should have a channel to get licensed goods at a low price, and he could save a point.
Sure enough, after Li Shuming heard that Fang Yi wanted to buy a laptop, he made two phone calls and took him to Hailong Electronic City to get two ThinkPad T430s.
According to Li Shuming, this computer is resistant to manufacturing, has good performance, and is the latest model of the year, and it is definitely more than enough to give it to his son Fang Anzhi.
Originally, Fang Yi only wanted one, but Li Shuming paid the bill, took two at once, and gave him the other one for use. As a lawyer, how can he succeed without a good handy, Fang Yi couldn't refute Li Shuming's kindness, so he accepted the computer.
In the evening, the two went to a barbecue restaurant, asked for a lot of skewers and beer, and drank a big meal.
"How are you doing?" Li Shuming asked after taking a sip of draft beer.
"What can a salaried lawyer do, just make ends meet. I can see that the source of cases in the county is limited, and the opportunities to make money are also limited. I'll have to come out sooner or later. ”
After speaking, Fang Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, my son asked me to give him a laptop, I was worried for several days, and a penny was difficult for a hero."
If I hadn't come out with the customer to talk about business today, and I helped someone by chance, and they gave me a red envelope, I'm afraid I would have to worry for a while, maybe I could make up the money to buy a computer for my son after the New Year. ”
"Why don't you tell me if you don't have money to buy a computer? If you're short of money, you're looking for me! You don't treat me as a brother! After Li Shuming finished speaking, he picked up the draft beer and poured it down, then put the draft beer cup on the table heavily, and stared at Fang Yi angrily.
"Shuming, don't worry! Can you help me once, can you help me for a lifetime?
As the saying goes, emergency is not poor, I am really poor now, I want to find back the high-spirited me I used to be, and I also want to find my home. If I don't push myself, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on, and I will return to my previous state of being comfortable and hedonistic. Fang Yi was silent for a moment, his mood was a little depressed.
Li Shuming took out a Huazi, lit it and took a deep breath, the cigarette between his fingers burned violently, and then two clouds of smoke jumped out of his nostrils, and then his eyes relaxed.
"When I first came out to start a business, I also held my breath and never withdrew if I didn't mix up my personal appearance. I've sold tapes, I've sold CDs, and of course I've sold parallel goods.
Every day, I pushed my bicycle and was chased on the main road.
I have lived this kind of life for more than a year, earning every penny and saving a dime, but the money I have earned after more than a year of hard work is only enough to make ends meet.
But I don't think it's a waste of time, because I believe there is no road in vain. ”
After speaking, Li Shuming glanced at Fang Yi and continued: "Actually, life is like this, it won't tell us that the path is correct, but it will teach us how to adapt.
In this life, there will be no less detours to take, losses to suffer, south walls to hit, and traps to fall.
But you remember, as long as life gets better a little bit, slow down a little bit, it doesn't matter, as long as you are strong enough to hold on and get through, the next second maybe you are the person that others look up to and envy. ”
Fang Yi nodded, in fact, he was really a little shaken during this time, the legendary lawyer's life is so beautiful, but in reality it is so sad, with only enough money to buy cabbage, but he has the heart of selling white powder. The salary received in a month is just a little, and if you want to give your son a better laptop, you are worried.
Li Shuming is a person from the past, and his words are much more down-to-earth than what any bullshit psychologist says, and they are more convincing to Fang Yi.
No matter how well you live, the days will still go by day by day, and you will not be an hour short because of your misery, nor an hour more because of your happiness.
Fang Yi believes in Li Shuming's words, and also believes that there is no road in vain under his feet, everything must have a process, and this process may be the process of finding his former life and former home.
The two were silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
