Lawyer's character

"It's really not the case. I have been in the village for the past two days and my grandma's business has been finished. The people who come to visit me every day are either fat-minded speculators or officials. Their purpose is nothing more than asking for money so that my uncle can invest or want to work with us. cooperate.

My uncle didn't want to get involved with them, so he left me in the village to deal with them. The past two days have annoyed me to death. Someone came to visit me again tonight, so I made an excuse to go out. After much deliberation, I realized that you were the only one in the county, so I called you. Zhou Shen said.

He didn't deliberately conceal his identity, and Fang Yi didn't deliberately ask. The two seemed to have reached a certain tacit understanding. Perhaps only in this way could they abandon the utilitarianism in their hearts and treat each other as pure brothers, allowing them to talk nonsense calmly and relax.

After a while, grilled skewers and side dishes were served, as well as a bottle of the most expensive Red Star Erguotou in the store. Fang and Yi chatted and ate.

"Well, it tastes really good." Zhou Shen praised after swallowing the chewed skewers.

"You are too polite to eat like this, and it's not satisfying. You have to learn from me... Take off your coat and just wear a T-shirt. It's not cold in the room. Eat freely, otherwise you won't feel it."

Fang Yi said and showed him a demonstration. He took off his coat, placed it on the wooden stool next to him, rolled up his sleeves, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, and started to lick the skewers. It seemed very enjoyable.

Zhou Shen also followed suit. After eating, his mouth was filled with oil. From time to time, Fang Yi would lead him to clink glasses and take a few sips. He felt very unbridled and relaxed.

“When I was studying in China, I often attended banquets with my father and uncle. The environment was quite good and everyone was polite, but I just felt like something was missing.

Now I finally know that fireworks, yes, it is fireworks. When you look at the people around you, whether they are happy, angry, sad, or happy, they all feel real. Even those who persuade you to drink and curse in the street feel so comfortable.

Unlike the people I saw, who wore gorgeous clothes and had artificial expressions, everyone wore a mask. Behind the mask are all interests. Zhou Shen sighed after swallowing the roasted meat.

Fang Yi chewed the barbecue in his mouth and said vaguely: "Yes, you are right. All the people here are ordinary people, people from the bottom of society. We don't need to dress up, and no one wants to get anything from each other. . Even if you really have a plan, it’s just for fun, so that you can temporarily let go of all the unhappiness and unhappiness under the anesthesia of alcohol.”

An hour later, more than half of the bottle of Red Star was gone. Fang Yi was okay, but Zhou Shen was already a little drunk.

"Junior brother, I really envy your life. Everything is so real." Zhou Shen put down the roasted kidney and said, "The little guy is right, this kidney is so delicious."

"What do I have to envy? My family is gone, my job as a university teacher is gone, and I have no choice but to become a lawyer. Now I am alone, so lonely!" Fang Yi sighed with emotion when thinking of the past.

"You don't call this loneliness. Do you know what true loneliness feels like?" Zhou Shen took a bite of a big kidney and muttered.

"I don't know, but I'm sure you are not lonely. You have a family and you don't need anything. You are much better than me." Fang Yi said, taking a sip of wine.

"I remember someone once deeply analyzed the meaning of loneliness, and it seemed to be like this: What kind of man is the loneliest? Not a single man, but a man who clearly has a wife and children, but still feels isolated and helpless, with no one to talk to; A man who clearly has a family, but doesn't feel any warmth.

I have a wife but no lover! Marriage but no family! We get along day and night but feel like strangers. The key is that we can't live as free and easy as a single man.

I think this is very insightful. The most important thing is: we cannot live as free and easy as a single man, such as you. This is the saddest and most unbearable thing! Zhou Shen stared at Fang Yi with drunken eyes and said, "If you tell me if what I said is right, I'll ask you if I'm right." "As he said that, he stood up unsteadily.

"Yes, everything you said is right. Sit down quickly and let's chat." Fang Yi secretly laughed in his heart. This is just one bottle of Red Star. It seems that you really can't drink it, senior brother.

"Hey, your sister-in-law and I met when we were graduate students at a foreign university. What would our family life be like if both husband and wife were lawyers? That's my family.

She was doing capital market business at another Red Circle company, leading a team of her own and working from morning to night. I started out at a red circle firm. After working there for five years, I went to another big firm, became a partner, and had my own team. Thanks to my uncle, I had no worries about business.

When we returned home, she continued to work on her project, and I continued to work on my work. We ate and chatted, all about business and experiences in the process of doing business. Basically, I just lived in the business and wanted to tell her. To put it bluntly, I was afraid of disturbing her work, so when she was free, she flew abroad to spend time with her son.

I have a wife but no lover, I have a marriage but no family. That’s what I am like. I make a lot of money, but I can’t find the feeling of home.

You know, there are many lawyers in Beijing who are drunk, divorced, and suffer from high blood pressure. They are basically all "successful people". Do you know why? Zhou Shen asked.

"Because there's a lot of pressure!" Fang Yi said.

"Binggou, you got the answer right. Stress and anxiety are the main reasons. People who have business or have no business will be anxious and stressed." Zhou Shen said.

Fang Yi felt that this topic was too heavy, so he wanted to change it to a lighter topic. At this moment, the boy brought the mutton eggs and said, "Here, eat some mutton eggs. Eat them while they are hot. They will not be eaten when they are cold." Okay." As he said that, he picked up a bunch and handed it over.

Zhou Shen took the mutton egg and took a bite: "Yeah, it's delicious."

"Your son is studying abroad, he must be very good!" Fang Yi said while eating.

"Well, he studies very well. We only get to see each other during the holidays every year. Usually he is like a satellite sent out. Only when he needs money does he send back a weak signal: give money... give money... give money..." Zhou Shen said .

The sip of white wine Fang Yi just drank came out with a pop, and he burst into laughter.

"Don't laugh, it's really like this." Zhou Shen said seriously: "You will feel it when your son lives in school."

"You don't have to live on campus. I've realized it now. You only launched one satellite. I launched two satellites at once, and strong signals will come back after a while: support... support... support..." Maybe it's because the distance is relatively close, and the signal I receive is clearer and stronger than yours." Fang Yisha said in a serious tone.

This time no one laughed, and the two men were silent. After a while, Zhou Shen raised his glass: "Here's to the lonely man!"

"To the lonely man!" Fang Yi also raised his glass.
