Qi Xi only felt like a person who suddenly got drunk, the smell of alcohol rose suddenly, and he suddenly got on his head. At this moment, he just wanted to find a place to hide.
Gu Yan is really, how can such words be said casually.
She glanced at Gu Yan, a little funny and sweet: "I've only been on a business trip for a day! I haven't lived in Linshi, so I haven't seen you for a long time..."
"Yes, it's been a long time." Gu Yan's tone was very restrained and serious, but his words were a little sour, "You basically didn't contact me for half a day after you went to Linshi, I think it's been a long time."
He said with a bit of yin and yang, "But looking at you, it seems that half a day is quite short. It seems that you have not experienced my feelings."
Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan's earnestly complaining side face, and suddenly stretched out her hand out of happiness, and before she could react, Qi Xi patted Gu Yan's head.
Gu Yan obviously didn't expect Qi Xi's job, he was taken aback, but he didn't move his head away, instead he gave some encouraging hints with his eyes.
Qi Xi laughed a little, and then patted Gu Yan's head like a big dog.
"I didn't think about you, I just dealt with the matter of a human resources director with whom I had a good relationship today. Because I was in a hurry to come back early, I was working every minute in Yuanchen."
Gu Yan was stunned: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because I want to come back soon to see you." Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan, with a somewhat helpless tone, "After all, there is a man in Rongshi who can't help but think about me for a long time."
"..."
Qi Xi let Gu Yan play with her fingers. She didn't tease Gu Yan anymore, but began to briefly describe what happened in Yuanchen that day and her inner struggle before. Regarding this, she said frankly: "Actually When I was dealing with this matter, I kept thinking about you, and for a moment I doubted whether what I did was right, but when I thought of you, I felt that as long as it was you, I would definitely support my approach, and if you were going through this, You will definitely choose the same approach as me, so although it is indeed the first time that I encountered such a conflict between favors and laws, I was also very anxious and nervous, but in the end I did not regret it, and I feel that I have made a decision that is worthy of my heart."
"I heard that old Dong will end badly, he may always hate me, but..."
Gu Yanhui shook Qi Xi's hand: "But you did nothing wrong."
He looked at Qi Xi firmly, and said in a very convincing and comforting voice: "You just did what you should do as a lawyer. You were sent to Yuanchen as a lawyer to help solve Yu Nana's resignation As for the dispute, in the whole incident, you have to deal with it from the perspective of an objective third-person lawyer, so, Qi Xi, you did a good job."
"Many people face such a choice, but there are only a few who can make a decision fairly without being trapped by human feelings. It is precisely because of this that such a minority will appear great. , and parents who choose to report to the police, it is difficult, but because it is difficult, it will be more precious."
Gu Yan gently touched Qi Xi's face, and looked away embarrassedly: "Of course, in my eyes, you have always been the most precious."
Qi Xi kissed the side of Gu Yan's cheek, and then she was also a little embarrassed: "You are also the most precious." After she finished speaking, she started to change the subject with some embarrassment, "But it is still hard work for you to come to pick up the station so late tonight. You're so sick that you can't even sleep well."
"It's not hard." After being attacked by Qi Xi, Gu Yan's face turned a little red, he looked away, and his voice was low and pleasant, "I always forgot to tell you, my lucky number is never seven, I like BMW seven series, just Just because the homonym of "Seven Series" is your name, I don't think it's hard to drive this car to pick you up, because this is a scene that I have been dreaming about before."
Qi Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at Gu Yan: "Then you mean, do you usually dream of me when you sleep at night?"
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't realize that Qi Xi's focus would go in this direction, but he still let out a "hmm" and lowered his eyes, looking at the interior of the car: "Yes."
Qi Xi leaned over, grabbed Gu Yan's arm, rubbed his clothes with the tip of his nose, and coaxed him in a very coquettish tone: "Then what do you dream about? Is my image in your dream okay?"
I don't know if he thought of something in the dream, Gu Yan's expression became awkward, his eyes a little dodged, and his tone became a little nervous, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he expressed his avoidance with a concise answer Attitude-
"I forgot what I dreamed of." Gu Yan explained somewhat contradictoryly, "Your image in the dream is good."
Qi Xi quickly caught the loophole in Gu Yan's words, she was a little dissatisfied with Gu Yan's attitude that seemed to be perfunctory, and said a little angrily: "Since I have forgotten, how can I still remember that the image is good?"
What's more, the word "bar" is also very spiritual.
Qi Xi reasonably suspected that Gu Yan must have vilified himself in his dream, so as he questioned, the embarrassment on Gu Yan's face seemed to become more and more intense, and it even gave Qi Xi a feeling that he could not wait to jump out of the car window now The illusion of escape.
Then Qi Xi looked at Gu Yan's watch pretendingly, saying that it was getting late, so he should send Qi Xi home early, thus abruptly changing the subject.
Now Qi Xi felt very sure that the self in Gu Yan's dream must have done nothing good, she was a little sullen, and decided to have a dream tonight to torment Gu Yan, and beat him severely in the dream.
**
In the end, the road went smoothly, and it was Gu Yan who successfully sent Qi Xi to Qi Xi's house.
The next day was the weekend, and Qi Xi's mother was about to celebrate her birthday, so Qi Xi decided not to stay in the rented house this weekend, but chose to go home.
Ever since Qi Xi uncooperatively messed up the two blind dates arranged by his father Qi Ruiming, Qi Ruiming became furious. Qi Xi was furious after hearing from his mother that he went home and belittled Qi Xi from head to toe. He threatened to see how far Qi Xi could go by himself.
For this reason, Qi Ruiming obviously decided not to provide any financial support to Qi Xi who moved out to rent a house, and just waited for Qi Xi to bow his head first, so when Qi Xi was working in a rented house, his father really did not support him with a single penny However, even since Qi Xi didn't cooperate with the blind date and broke up with him, he didn't take the initiative to care about Qi Xi's life.
"You are true. Your dad has a stubborn temper. He is not bad, but he has a fiery personality and has high blood pressure. It is really difficult for people with high blood pressure to control their emotions. Sometimes they have a big temper. Your dad is also a member of the law firm. Although it is not a big firm like the competition and cooperation, the business pressure and the client pressure are also very high. There is no overnight feud between your father and daughter. Xixi, in fact, as long as you bow your head to your father, your father will also There's a step down."
Early the next morning, Qi Ruiming had an out-of-town client who temporarily had a job that needed a lawyer to witness, so he had already left to catch the train early in the morning, and Qi Xi didn't meet him face to face.
However, without him at home, the originally tense atmosphere eased down.
Qi Xi's mother, Xi Wen, also tried to take this opportunity to do psychological work to understand Qi Xi, she held Qi Xi's hand: "You father and daughter have the same temper."
It's a pity that Qi Xi held his breath in his heart: "Come on, he just looks down on women. Look at his old-fashioned ideas. He always thinks that men dominate outside and women dominate inside. Women should return to the family and take care of their husbands and children at home. Then I What's the point of studying so hard to get into Rongda University? Are you studying so hard just to get married and have children?"
Qi Xi's mother patted the back of Qi Xi's hand in a gentle tone: "I can't say that, my mother graduated from Rongda Law School like your father, but now she is a full-time wife at home, and my mother also feels very happy. Being able to give birth to For a daughter like you, my mother is very grateful. In order to accompany you to choose to say goodbye to the workplace, my mother has no regrets, nor does she feel forced. I feel very happy too.”
Qi Xi couldn't help leaning her head against her mother.
Xi Wen is always very gentle, and Qi Xi's heart has become a little more peaceful because of this, but she still refuses to accept: "But Mom, I think there shouldn't be an existing charter for how women want to live. Our choices should be It is free and completely up to us. If you think that family life and raising children bring you greater happiness than success in the workplace, then you don’t have to worry about your education. Even if you have a doctorate from a prestigious university, public opinion should respect you The choice of being a full-time wife is not to accuse you of wasting your education and destroying your future, because this is your life and your choice."
"But at the same time, women like me, who feel that success in the workplace is the most important part of my life value, should also be respected, instead of using the so-called traditional 'women dominate the inside and men dominate the outside' to squeeze us out of the workplace and oppress us. Our living space in the workplace."
Qi Xi's tone was very serious: "As long as she does not violate the law or commit a crime, a woman should be free to make any choice, as long as she can bear the consequences of her choice. She should not be interfered by any opposite sex. She feels that she should give up her career and return to her family; Any same-sex interference, thinking that you must enter the workplace to work hard, this is the new era of women."
Xi Wen smiled and nodded: "I know, I know, I'm not as good at speaking as you are, and my eloquence is far worse than yours. Your father is a bit too traditional in thinking, but he really doesn't want to start with that idea. Your own child is working too hard. Look at him. Last night when you came home early in the morning from a business trip, he was still working overtime in the office. You and I were both asleep before he came home. But this morning, you haven’t Get up, he's on a business trip again."
"Lawyers want to make a head start, they have to sacrifice some personal time to work, and you are still a trainee lawyer, you may not feel that kind of pressure, but the more senior you are, the more senior clients you will accept. Many, when every client is urging you, the pressure is really beyond what you can imagine now. You still have your tutoring lawyer on your head to bear the pressure on you, and you have not yet faced the client directly. "
Xi Wen gently pushed aside the broken hair on Qi Xi's forehead: "For other types of work, you may only need to be familiar with the business, and experience increases with age. Many things are repetitive and can be dealt with by relying on past experience. The easier it is to do it, the more proficient it is. But lawyers are not. Lawyers will only get older and take on more and more complicated cases, and the facts of each case are very different. It is impossible to rely on a certain case once and for all. experience, there is such a worry-free way of repeating the past handling methods.”
"As parents, we certainly don't want our children to repeat such a hard life."
Xi Wen looked into Qi Xi's eyes and said persuasively: "Our parents have worked so hard, isn't it for the children to live more easily? As your mother, I naturally hope that you will not be so tired like your father, but mother I'm also a woman, so I can understand you from another level, so I'm willing to respect and support your choice, but don't take it too seriously if your dad says something occasionally."
Xi Wen smiled: "Your father is like this, sometimes he speaks a little aggressively, but he is very kind in his heart."
When my mother talked about my father, there was an unconscious smile on her face.
Qi Xi knew that although blind dates and even arranged marriages were popular at that time of his parents, Xi Wen and Qi Ruiming fell in love freely. Back then, they met in the debate team of Rongda Law School, and Xi Wen was already a young girl at that time. A well-known debater, Qi Ruiming was just a rookie who just joined the debate team, but Qi Ruiming, who was still stunned at the time, moved Xi Wen one by one with love letters every day, and the collection of these love letters , and now it is still a souvenir of Qi Xi's parents' love. Qi Xi often sees his mother take it out to relish and read it every now and then, and his happiness is beyond words.
Qi Xi heard from her mother's friends that when she was in school, Xi Wen's grades were better than Qi Ruiming's, but in the end it was Xi Wen who gave up her career and returned to her family. On the contrary, with the support of Xi Wen, her father made progress step by step. I practiced in a large law firm, accumulated experience and contacts, and finally jumped out to open a small law firm by myself.
Although it is a small firm, it is a partner after all, so although it is not as good as the income of a partner in a boutique firm like the Competition and Cooperation Firm, it is still considered a high-paying person compared to ordinary wage earners.
Qi Xi can also be regarded as witnessing that his parents supported each other to start from scratch, and his grandparents were farmers, so they couldn't give this small family any support at all. Qi Xi's current standard of living is indeed the result of Qi Ruiming's struggle.
Thinking about it this way, coupled with Xi Wen's persuasion, Qi Xi felt less resentment towards her father in her heart, but she was still unforgiving: "He is the busiest, since I was in high school, he has been basically Whether you go home for dinner or not, you work overtime almost every day at the firm, and finally it’s the weekend, and the courts are closed, so he has a lot of entertainment, this client needs to maintain, and that client wants to give gifts.”
Although Qi Ruiming had great opinions, there was indeed no overnight feud between father and daughter. It was just that Qi Xi became more and more sad when talking about the past: "The night I filled out the college entrance examination, he didn't come home. When I graduated from high school, I was a student representative. He didn't come to talk, and he didn't come when he was in college, do I have to make an appointment with him in advance when I get married when he doesn't work overtime?"
Xi Wen shook her head helplessly: "You child, your father is not easy. There are indeed a lot of things in the institute. He also wants to earn more while he is still young, and leave more for you in the future."
When Xi Wen said this, she seemed to have quickly found some details accidentally leaked out of Qi Xi's words, she stared into Qi Xi's eyes: "Xi Xi, do you have a boyfriend?"
Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked around to cover up: "Ah? What? Why are you asking such a question suddenly, Mom?" She made an angry look, "Aren't you going to introduce someone to me like Dad? Let's go on a blind date!"
Xi Wen couldn't help but smiled narrowly: "I was just skeptical at first, but now it seems that you should at least have a boy you like. If you feel that you are not ready now, you can not tell your mother first, but in the future I have to bring it to my mother first."
Qi Xi naturally still refused to admit it, she brushed her hair, looked away, and pretended to retort calmly: "You are all baseless guesses, and why did you say that all of a sudden."
"Usually, you are in a hurry with whoever mentions marriage to you, as if marriage is some kind of scourge, to hinder you, the legal elite, from shining brightly, but you listen to what you just said, saying that you will make an appointment with your father when you get married... "
Qi Xi had to admit that although his mother had quit the workplace for a long time, she graduated from the Law School of Rongda University after all, and her ability to focus on the key points was simply leveraged.
