The eyes of Qi Xi and Gu Yan briefly met in the air, like the strange calm on the eve of the battle between the two armies.
Qi Xi firmly showed a friendly smile to Gu Yan, and Gu Yan almost immediately lowered his handsome face.
Gu Xuehan didn't realize the weirdness of the atmosphere, and she was still a little emotional: "Gu Yan, since Qi Xi is also your classmate, don't hide it, you have suffered such a big grievance. You are resolutely unwilling to sue the other party, what do you think is wrong with you? How can you be a lawyer if you don’t even protect your own rights? Qi Xi, don’t you?”
How could Qi Xi dare to say yes, she looked at Gu Yan and said with a dry smile: "The main thing is that Gu Yan is a person who is tolerant and can support a boat in the prime minister's stomach. Because of this, during college, I actually treated Gu Yan very Admiration, I have always regarded Gu Yan's generosity as my learning goal... "
Gu Xuehan frowned: "Then if it were you, would you be as tolerant as Gu Yan?"
Facing Gu Yan's cold gaze, Qi Xi pretended to be calm and said, "Yes, Lawyer Gu, I think that although lawyers should be good at attacking, they should also learn to endure most of the time, and I, Buddha, is merciful, and my Lord is magnanimous. Be forgiving and forgiving."
Gu Xuehan was a little surprised: "Are you young people so Buddhist?"
Qi Xi just put her hands together and shouted "love and peace." She nodded solemnly: "Yes, I believe in Buddhism. The main reason is that it's good for your body and mentality, and it's easier to succeed in the future."
Gu Xuehan shrugged her shoulders incomprehensibly: "I don't know what's going on with you young people now, but anyway, I don't have this kind of character. A person should repay revenge with revenge and repay virtue with kindness. In short, as far as I am concerned, even if you owe me Fifty cents, if I spend fifty yuan in a lawsuit, I will get it back."
"Qixi, you don't have to worry about it, boldly say the name of that female classmate, I'll go meet her."
You are not meeting it right now.
…
Fortunately, a customer call interrupted Gu Xuehan's questioning, and she quickly waved Qi Xi and Gu Yan out of her office.
Gu Yan walked in front, keeping a cold face, not wanting to pay attention to Qi Xi's appearance, Qi Xi had no choice but to take the initiative and grabbed Gu Yan's hand.
"Gu Yan... How about we just let this past pass away with the wind..." Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan anxiously and said, "I will repay you in the next life as an ox and a horse for your tolerance and humiliation. Everyone I have been classmates for four years, and I will be colleagues again in the future. There is no overnight feud. I am willing to bear the crimes I committed against you... "
Gu Yan looked at Qi Xi: "How do you bear it?"
Qi Xi said pitifully: "I am willing to make financial compensation to you and hand over the bulk of my monthly salary. You just need to leave some living expenses for me."
"The letter from Zhang Jialiang back then was really too confusing. If you don't believe me, you can easily misunderstand it." Qi Xi called up the photo of the damn confession letter in his phone as he spoke.
Qi Xi decided to pull Gu Yan into the water: "Zhang Jialiang himself got this kind of signature, and you took the initiative to send a love letter for Zhang Jialiang, so it's really hard for me not to misunderstand? If you didn't send a love letter for him, this wouldn't happen something happened..."
Qi Xi's hint was very clear. Although he was at fault, Gu Yan was also at fault for being negligent in running errands for Zhang Jialiang.
Gu Yan pursed his lips, his expression was very ugly: "If I knew that he had put a love letter in your LSAT real test, I would never hand it to you for him."
"So you see, you and I are actually Zhang Jialiang's victims!"
Very good, very good, let’s divert the conflict first, everyone scolds Zhang Jialiang together, this distance will be shortened at once!
Looking at Gu Yan's expression, Qi Xi insisted, "Actually, I always feel that there is no one with better character than you in this world..."
Gu Yan glanced at Qi Xi's phone with a cold face, and his expression was even uglier: "You believe so much in my character, why do you believe that I wrote it without reading it? Even if I confess, I will write something like this Disgusting thing? The words are still so ugly?"
He glanced at Qi Xi: "And you believe in Buddhism? When did you believe in it? In the past, one of the activities organized by the photography club was to burn incense. Didn't you report people's feudal superstition?"
"..." Damn Gu Yan is not from that club, how did he know? !
Qi Xi firmly maintained a smile that was almost unbearable: "I just believed in Buddhism immediately, but I believe in it very piously."
"Very pious?"
Qi Xi nodded: "Yes, very pious."
Gu Yanpi smiled and looked at Qi Xi: "Okay, my sister said yesterday that there is a newcomer here today, and we are going to have dinner together at noon, so let me tell her to go to a vegetarian restaurant. You can't kill animals to eat meat. "
"..."
Qi Xi didn't control her expression well this time, her facial features were all twisted together: "Gu Yan, please do me a favor. Humans have evolved to the top of the food chain, isn't it just to eat meat? I just thought about it. The school told us that a healthy diet is a combination of meat and vegetables. In order to have a healthy body and work for your sister, I decided to let go of my obsession and still eat meat."
Gu Yan said coldly: "You are really caring."
"I know what happened before is my fault, it's all my fault, but it's mainly because I accidentally bumped into a girl who confessed to you that day and you rejected it, and then I heard you say that you want to confess to the girl you like, so it deepened. My misunderstanding..." Qi Xi said cautiously, "So did you succeed in confessing your love later?"
Qi Xi regretted it after mentioning it, because Gu Yan's expression was obviously even uglier. The man gave him a deadly stare, and then threw out the word gnashing his teeth.
"No."
Qi Xi felt extremely regretful about his stupid question in his heart, without even thinking about it, who would dare to agree to Gu Yan's confession after giving such a passionate speech at the graduation ceremony
This not only ruined Gu Yan's reputation, but also ruined his marriage!
This enmity with Gu Yan is not easy to solve...
Gu Yan pursed his lips: "Qixi, going to work is not for reminiscing about the past, I'm very busy, please don't waste my time, find your own desk, and stay away from me."
Gu Yan dropped those words and walked to his desk with a cold face.
Soon, Qi Xi walked to Gu Yan's side step by step.
Sure enough, Gu Yan's expression turned ugly: "I told you not to follow me."
Qi Xi smiled sarcastically, and then sat next to him: "There is only this empty space next to you. The administration just arranged for me to sit here..."
Because many newcomers have been recruited recently, the workstations are quite tight. The latest batch of desks and chairs purchased by the administration are relatively compact, and there are no partitions between the workstations. Whoever moves a little more will easily bump into the opponent's arm. .
Qi Xi looked at the distance between Gu Yan and Gu Yan as if they were at the same table in high school, and his voice was a little dry and weak: "I'm sorry, so I can only be so far away from you at most, I will pay attention to it, and when there are other vacancies, I will move away immediately, quickly out of your sight..."
Gu Yanhu grimaced, feeling like he was about to have difficulty breathing, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just pursed his lips, and then buried himself in the file.
Although they were classmates for four years, but frankly speaking, Qi Xi had never sat so close to Gu Yan, so close that he could see Gu Yan's side face just by turning his side slightly.
The incandescent lamp in the office area hit his face, passed through the fine hair, and cast bright and dark shadows on Gu Yan's face. This is just a very ordinary ceiling light in an office building, but it gave Qi Xi an illusion that Gu Yanguang was sitting quietly, as if he was sitting in the center of the stage illuminated by thousands of lights.
His facial features have a kind of sharp handsomeness, his temperament is serious and cold, but his eyes are very charming, occasionally when he looks at people, he is slightly raised, even if he is very cold and alienated, he adds a point or two that is fleeting An elusive hook.
The word hooking is generally not used to describe boys, but after being looked at by Gu Yan a few times, Qi Xi just felt that he couldn't find a better word to describe his eyes. Gu Yan is regarded as a living sign of Rongda Law School, his face and head are both real and learned, and he really has a few brushes.
Although her heart was sour, Qi Xi had to approve of the scout's gaze, but she complained about the scout's strength—why didn't she succeed in poaching Gu Yan to make her debut? If he wants to become a star, he won't have to stare at Gu Yan in the competition and cooperation firm. In the future, he will have one less competitor in the legal circle.
**
"Let's go, let's eat."
Fortunately, it was finally noon, Gu Xuehan ended the customer call, and took Qi Xi and Gu Yan to find a nearby Huaiyang restaurant with a good environment.
After leaving work for a while, Gu Xuehan's sense of aggression lessened a little, and she returned to her elegant appearance. She slowly introduced the situation of the competition and cooperation firm to Qi Xi: "In short, the situation is like this. You have all passed the judicial examination , so the first year in the law firm is a licensed internship period. After the internship period is over, you can officially practice independently. My business is more commercial, but as a trainee lawyer, I suggest that you get in touch with all kinds of cases. There are some various civil cases. , I will also bring you to do it together."
Gu Xuehan smiled: "After all, you have just graduated, and you are still a blank sheet of paper. In fact, it is still unknown what subdivided legal field you are good at and like, so you have to do various cases to find the right direction in the future. As an intern As for lawyers, they can handle small cases. Compared with commercial cases, some life-related disputes may not have too much sense of distance, and are closer to your life, which will make it easier for you to get started."
When she said this, she took a look at Qi Xi: "Gu Yan joined the job before you, and you are also classmates. In short, if you don't know anything in the future, you can ask him."
Qi Xi smiled all over his face: "Okay, thank you, Lawyer Gu! I will learn from Gu Yan! He has been my role model since he was in school, he is always the first, and I will always follow him The second place behind me, every time it seems like Gu Yan is guiding me forward!"
It's a pity that Qi Xi's words were destined to be a one-man show, and Gu Yan was drinking tea coolly at the side, with no intention of continuing to save face.
Even Gu Xuehan couldn't bear to see him like this, but just as she was about to mention Gu Yan, Gu Yan's phone rang.
The man pursed his lips and stood up: "It's a call from a client who consulted our law firm before. I'll answer it."
As soon as Gu Yan left, Gu Xuehan showed an unbearable expression, she looked at Qi Xi: "Don't pay attention to him, it may be that he has been slandered recently, he has been greatly stimulated, and he is a bit bored."
Why did you come back to this matter again? !
Compared with Gu Yan, Gu Yan's sister seems to be more difficult to deal with! After all, Gu Yan didn't take any action, but Gu Xuehan stared at this matter all day long to get to the bottom of it.
Gu Xuehan seemed to be going after this question, she looked at Qi Xi: "So, who is that girl? Can the video still be found?"
Qi Xi suppressed the urge to run away, pretending to be calm and explained: "Actually, when the girl was speaking at the graduation ceremony, I happened to go to the toilet. When I came back, I had already finished speaking. Later, you also saw the online video and deleted it. , I really didn’t see it and didn’t know it.”
"Isn't that speech quite long? Didn't you hear it? They were all in the bathroom?"
Qi Xi resisted the collapse in his heart, and said flatly: "I was constipated that day."
Gu Xuehan was probably also stunned by Qi Xi's answer, and after a moment of stunned, he removed the snowflake beef in front of Qi Xi and replaced it with a large bowl of vegetable salad: "The profession of lawyers has always been sedentary, and you still like this?" You are young, pay attention to your body, you should be vegetarian for today's meal."
"..." Unexpectedly, with his own efforts, Qi Xi finally managed to eat vegetarian food.
Gu Xuehan thoughtfully ordered a few more vegetarian dishes, then rubbed the center of her brows, and brought the topic back to work again: "The overall atmosphere of the competition and cooperation office is like this, Gu Yan may be a little depressed recently, I will try my best to remind him, but he Personality is inherently rebellious... "
etc? Gu Yan has a rebellious personality
Where is Gu Yan rebellious? Are all good people rebellious...
Probably seeing Qi Xi's question, Gu Xuehan shrugged: "When I was just promoted to partner, I persuaded him to join my team after graduation to help me, but he ended up going to the United States to study; later I also decided to respect his choice, but I finally applied to such a good school, but turned around and told me that I couldn’t go anymore, and planned to work in a law firm. How can a person who is usually quite stable suddenly become so outspoken when it comes to such an important matter of career choice? As soon as it comes out, it may be a belated rebellious period."
Regarding this point, Qi Xi was still puzzled, especially seeing that Gu Yan's family conditions were not bad, and his sister had a good income, she also respected and supported him, and would not stop dreaming of studying abroad because of financial problems.
But Qi Xi was a little curious: "Then what school did Gu Yan get an offer from? Did he study LLM or JD?"
"JD from Columbia University."
! ! !
What kind of evil fate is this? ! Gu Yan originally wanted to go to Columbia University to study JD
Fortunately, I did not go! Otherwise, it would not be enough to be suppressed and beaten by Gu Yan in China for four years, but would it be necessary to be suppressed and beaten by him for three years in a foreign country
It's just that not long after the rejoicing, Qi Xi suddenly remembered that Gu Yan didn't go, and the two ended up in the same law firm and the same team by different routes.
Both Shengyu and He Shengliang.
It's a fucking sad story.
"He doesn't like to talk to people recently, so don't worry about it. He's really been on the decline recently. He said before that if everything goes well, he will bring his girlfriend to eat with me in a few days, but there is no more." Gu Xuehan said sadly, "Maybe he was dumped, and just happened to be slandered again, which led to a big change in personality."
Qi Xi thinks that it should be because of his fault - Gu Yan failed to confess his love, so he might lose interest in everything, including not being able to even hold himself accountable...
Not even talking about it, this is simply a sadder story than being dumped.
Qi Xi felt guilty, so he took the initiative to say: "Lawyer Gu, then try to arrange for me as much work as you have recently, and I will do more, so that Gu Yan can relax and have time to sort out his emotions..."
Gu Xuehan pursed her lips: "Just find out the girl who slandered him as soon as possible, and let him vent his anger anyway. It's not okay to hold it all day."
"..."
Qi Xi's guilt disappeared without a trace, and his expression became very stiff. Fortunately, at this time, Gu Yan finally returned after answering the phone, and Gu Xuehan also changed the subject, and began to talk to Qi Xi and Gu Yan Note for some newcomers.
This lunch didn't last long, because Gu Xuehan's schedule was very full, and there was another court to be held in another district in the afternoon, she briefly explained a few words, and didn't even have time to eat dessert, so she bought the bill and left.
So only Qi Xi and Gu Yan were left at the table.
Gu Yan still ignored him, but Qi Xi wanted to clear up the suspicion, so he took the initiative to find a topic with a hot face and a cold butt: "You also applied for the JD program of Columbia University before? I also... "
As a result, before Qi Xi finished speaking, Gu Yan interrupted her with an abnormal and violent reaction: "Who told you?"
"Your sister." Qi Xi was very curious, "As for me, I came to work because my family suddenly didn't support me, and I didn't have money to study. Why did you give up the offer? It's a pity."
Gu Yan frowned, apparently not wanting to discuss this issue further: "Suddenly I don't want to go."
How can you be so capricious
But it's not a big deal, Qi Xi's only concern is—
"Then you see, we will be colleagues in the future, and we will still be partners in a team. I admit all the mistakes in the past, and give me a chance to make up for it in the future. Then we are still friends?"
In the end, I don't know what's wrong, if Gu Yan's expression could only be considered indifferent just now, when he looked at Qi Xi now, he gritted his teeth in a complicated way—
"Qi Xi, I will never be your friend."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he stood up with a cold face.
Haven't had this dessert yet...
