Qi Xi was in a daze, so he didn't even remember what kind of silent and awkward atmosphere he took a taxi with Gu Yan back to Jinghe.
I don't know if it is because human emotions will affect the health of the body to some extent. After returning to the institute, Qi Xi felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had eaten something bad.
When Gu Yan and Gu Xuehan went to have a meeting with a client, Qi Xi was really uncomfortable, so she sent a WeChat message and asked Gu Xuehan for half a day off.
Not long after returning home, Qi Xi received a WeChat message from Gu Yan. He first asked why Qi Xi asked for leave, and then five minutes later asked her where she was feeling unwell, probably because Qi Xi didn't reply. Half an hour later, he left a message , and asked Qi Xi if it was important.
Qi Xi actually felt better, but he didn't know the reason, maybe it was because he didn't know what emotion to use to talk to Gu Yan, and he didn't tidy up the mess in his heart, so he chose to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich, and didn't reply to Gu Yan. Information.
She started to sit in front of the computer, and went to the recruitment page of each big firm to check if there was any recruitment information. After writing down the directions and teams of the big firms she was interested in and the email address for the resume, Qixi began to revise and polish her own resume accordingly. CV.
When the doorbell rang, Qi Xi thought it was Zhao Yiran, but when she opened the door, she realized it was Gu Yan.
The man was carrying a bag in his hand and was still wearing a suit. He stood at the door, as if he was a little cramped, because he didn't expect Qi Xi to open the door so fast, as if he hadn't adjusted his mood yet.
But seeing Qi Xi, he quickly frowned: "Why don't you open the door without looking at who is outside?" The corners of Gu Yan's lips were flat, "What if it's not me but a mess of people outside the door. "
Qi Xi also knew that she was careless, but she was unable to discuss such a topic with Gu Yan, so she pretended not to hear, asked Gu Yan "Why are you here?", changed the subject smoothly, and then pretended to be a gesture and naturally turned people away. let into the house.
"Aren't you feeling sick?" Gu Yan's tone seemed a bit unnatural, and he handed the bag in his hand to Qi Xi, "I happened to be out to do some errands, so I remembered it on the way and brought it to you."
Qi Xi took the bag in surprise: "What is this?"
Gu Yanyan said concisely: "Medicine."
Qi Xi knew it was medicine, but what kind of medicine was it that filled a whole bag.
When she opened the bag, she found that it contained almost everything—there were cold medicines, fever-reducing medicines, stomach medicines, cough medicines, anti-allergy medicines, asthma medicines, and besides medicines, there were also many health care medicines, such as calcium tablets, multivitamins, and even Lutein Anthocyanin…
Facing Qi Xi's shocked gaze, Gu Yan was quite calm: "You didn't call me back, and you don't know what's wrong with you, so you bought all the medicine, you can watch it yourself, and I can take you to the hospital if necessary. .Need to take you there?"
Qi Xi waved his hands again and again: "No, I don't need it anymore."
Qi Xi really wanted to drive Gu Yan out, because when he did this, Qi Xi's hot-headed feeling came again.
Gu Yan didn't seem to know what to say, at this time it was logical that he should leave, but this man didn't know what was going on, he just sat there in a daze, as if he didn't want to leave, and stared at Qi Xi quite a bit awkward atmosphere.
Fortunately, in the end, Gu Yan probably couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he casually glanced at Qi Xi's computer on the dining table and the documents scattered around, as if desperately trying to find a topic, and said, "If you don't feel well, don't work overtime. , if there is urgent work you can do for me, I... "
Probably wanting to help Qi Xi tidy up, Gu Yan picked up the paper on Qi Xi's desk, he glanced at it indifferently, and then was a little stunned.
He stared in disbelief at the recruitment mailboxes of other big firms that Qi Xi wrote down on the paper, and then looked at Qi Xi: "Do you want to change jobs?"
Qi Xi didn't expect to be smashed by Gu Yan, and quickly took the paper from Gu Yan with a guilty conscience: "I, I'll just take a look."
It's a pity that Gu Yan kept chasing after him: "Now your internship period has not yet arrived, are you planning to hang up your lawyer's license and change jobs after one year?"
Gu Yan is indeed right, this is indeed Qi Xi's plan - wait a few more months to get his lawyer's certificate, and then leave the competition without doing anything.
Trainee lawyers need to practice for a full year before they can get a lawyer's practice certificate. Before they have a lawyer's practice certificate, it can be said that it is relatively difficult to circulate, especially before they get a practice certificate. Once they change jobs, the previous internship period will be invalidated. The law firm has to recalculate the one-year internship period and re-queue. Therefore, many trainee lawyers will survive the first year of the internship period even if the treatment in the firm is not good or the atmosphere in the firm is very disgusting. If the school background is good enough and the English is excellent, it is very easy to change jobs.
However, although it is a common practice in the industry to leave as soon as you get a lawyer's license, it is also a behavior that is very hated by tutoring lawyers. There is a feeling that the investment is in vain.
After all, Gu Yan is Gu Xuehan's younger brother, almost from the moment he saw Qi Xi's piece of paper, the expression on his face cooled down rapidly.
Qi Xi also knows that this action is sorry for Gu Xuehan, but... if she can control her heart and eyes, she doesn't want to leave Jinghe, but Gu Yan is like a new type of drug with strong virulence, Qi Xi can't stand it at all.
Her moral sense prevents her from being a third party to intervene, and she cannot bear the chronic torture of enduring her own pain every day.
Gu Yan seemed to want an answer. He stared at Qi Xi, as if he was afraid of missing any details in her answer. The man looked at Qi Xi with a look that insisted on getting an answer: "Why? Are you right? Does my sister or I have any comments?"
With this situation, Qi Xi was embarrassed and terrified, she felt so uncomfortable and helpless that she wanted to cry.
Why? Not because of you.
But Qi Xi couldn't say it at all, so she could only lie calmly and naturally: "I don't have any complaints about your sister, you, and the whole team. I think you are all very good and have a good time getting along. You My sister is also very good, and I can learn a lot.”
Gu Yan frowned, the corners of his lips formed an unpleasing curve.
Qi Xi avoided looking directly at Gu Yan, she looked at the green plants on the window sill, and began to make nonsense: "I'm thinking about quitting, simply because I feel that the supporting benefits of the competition and cooperation firm are a little bit behind, you see, since I joined the job, , and there are no group building activities, and no tours have been organized. In short, this area is a bit weak. I saw that Dajin Institute just went to Dubai for a trip a few days ago; there is also Chengxuan Institute, which also has group building funds. I will go out for a meal for leisure and entertainment, and I just came back from the hot spring last week."
After hearing this, Gu Yan was obviously a little stunned: "Is it because of this?"
He paused, then lowered his gaze: "So I suddenly wanted to move the office and take the stairs, so I avoided me so obviously because I wanted to change jobs, and I felt too familiar with me, so I wanted to keep a distance before changing jobs? ?”
Qi Xi thought he was doing it very covertly, but he didn't expect that his avoidance of Gu Yan was still so obvious that he could see it.
She was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Gu Yan gave her a reason, so Qi Xi walked down the steps: "Well, that's right, after all, I think you are a friend and know you very well, so I feel that this kind of job-hopping is a little betrayal of you My sister also betrayed your teammate a little bit."
Gu Yan's voice was a little soft, as if he was talking to himself: "Do you regard me as a friend?"
Qi Xi suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes!"
She said solemnly: "However, maybe you don't care, but I still care about these things. I still think that people should combine work and rest. If there are benefits as embellishments, I feel that work is more hopeful and meaningful. So I am very interested in a I really care about the supporting benefits provided by the position, it’s not for you and your sister, it’s just that the work culture that may compete with me doesn’t suit me a bit!”
Although this was Qixi's excuse, the supporting benefits of the competition and cooperation firm were indeed not remarkable among Rongshi's lawyers.
During a chat once, Qixi learned from other colleagues that the Co-opetition Firm never engages in group building or team travel. Except for the annual meeting, it is very rare for the Co-opetition Firm to have group activities—because several partners People are relatively social-hating personalities, and they don’t agree that collectivism should be higher than individualism. They think that as long as every lawyer thinks about fulfilling his life goals and earning money, he will naturally gather together. The real cohesion cannot be built by group building at all. Even group building and group travel take up a lot of time and energy, and ineffective social interaction makes people very tired. Not only does it not have the effect of charging, it even has a counterproductive effect. .
After Qi Xi entered the competition and cooperation, he agreed with the tradition of the competition and cooperation very much, but he didn't expect that now he would lie and claim that he didn't agree with this before leaving the job.
Gu Yan is naturally aware of this fine tradition.
Sure enough, Qi Xi probably couldn't refute what he said, and Gu Yan also pursed his lips. After a moment of silence, the man opened his mouth again—
"Then there are benefits, so you won't leave?"
Gu Yan stared at Qi Xi with focused and serious eyes. He may not have any other thoughts, but as the one with evil intentions, Qi Xi couldn't look at Gu Yan so calmly. She looked away, almost It can be regarded as running away, just nodding indiscriminately, and speaking incoherently: "Well, if there are benefits, then don't leave. If there are no benefits, it will not work."
"Then you don't have to go."
Qi Xi was stunned: "What?"
Gu Yan looked very calm, he pursed his lips, this time he looked away, the man cleared his throat, and his voice was a little unnatural: "I just heard from my sister a few days ago that I may have to Reforming the welfare system, she has also discovered the problem you mentioned, and if there are no accidents, she will hold some corresponding activities in the near future."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qi Xi again, and then the man stared into Qi Xi's eyes, and said word by word: "So Qi Xi, you don't have to go, there are other things owned by the law, and there are competitions and cooperations, since If there is no other dissatisfaction with the competition and cooperation with the team, can you stay?"
When Gu Yan said this, he looked away again: "If you leave like this, it will not be fair to my sister, and she will spare no effort to bring you to your case. As her own brother, I must prevent With the loss of her team, I think my sister must hope you don't leave."
The man added: "She has praised you many times and lent you the house to live in. If you just leave like this, it will be a blow to her."
Qi Xi had no way to refute, she could only stir the corner of her clothes irritably, bit her lip and said: "But if there is no welfare, I still..."
The rest of the co-opetitives have long said that the newly joined partners have not thought of reforming this point, but they have all been opposed and suppressed. How can a system in a law firm be so easily changed and overthrown? of
Qi Xi insisted that it is impossible for the co-opetition firm to increase benefits, so he made up his mind to use this as an excuse.
It's just that Qi Xi couldn't finish her sentence in the end, because Gu Yan interrupted her—
"There will be benefits."
Gu Yan's voice was firm and persistent, and he stared at Qi Xi with his deep black eyes that could see fouls, like a high-level mage uttering a spell that made low-level mages completely powerless to resist and parry—
"So you better not go."
