64 Chapter 64 Blessing(1/2)
In the afternoon, Xia Yuze sorted out all his things, spit out the resignation letter from the printer, folded it a few times and put it into the white envelope. ˋˊ
Regarding Xia Zichen, because he has never let go, Xia Zichen's attitude towards Lei Xin was also very cold before, so the people on Lei Xin came to make trouble more and more, and even affected his other customers. After all, he said that he abducted other people's children, but now he doesn't pay it back. This matter is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two, and Xia Yuze does not want to bring his own private affairs to work, and there is no need to explain the fact that he is a gay.
After a while, the client became very suspicious of Xia Yuze's character. At most, the best ones asked to change a lawyer, but the worst ones changed the firm, and even the reputation of their law firm was reduced.
Even if Xia Yuze was trained by the firm, the person in charge would not be able to keep him anymore. No matter whether the matter was true or false, if the other party continues to make trouble, the negative impact has already occurred. Xia Yuze did not want to explain, so the firm could only cut off the root cause directly.
Considering that Xia Yuze has paid a lot for the firm in recent years and has fought several beautiful lawsuits, the person in charge only asked him to resign automatically instead of dismissal, so it would not be too difficult for Xia Yuze to find a job again. After all, resigning is much less impact than dismissal.
In the past few years in the firm, Xia Yuze has a lot of things, and after sorting it out, there are five boxes, which makes Xia Yuze a little worried. Xia Yuze does not feel sad about resigning. The firm also has its own position, and his affairs are indeed quite troublesome. He did not think that Lei Xin would do such a thing before, but if he hasn't seen him for more than ten years, people will change.
Just as I was thinking of handing over the resignation letter later, the office door was knocked.
"Come in." Xia Yuze responded.
Everyone in the firm knew that he was leaving and that the work he had already handed over, so there should be nothing to find him.
The door was opened from outside, and Gu Yan walked in and saw the boxes and empty offices that were left on one side, without any surprise.
"Why are you here?" Xia Yuze was a little surprised when he saw Gu Yan. Gu Yan is very busy and he has to make an appointment if he wants to meet him. And at this time, he should be at work.
"I have something to do with you. ˋˊ" Gu Yan didn't see you either. He closed the door with his backhand, blocked the gaze outside from exploring, and sat on the sofa on the side.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yuze put down his resignation letter and sat on the single sofa on the other side.
Gu Yan took out a letter of employment from his suit pocket, put it on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Xia Yuze. "Gu's n-city branch wants to hire you as the director of the legal department, consider it."
"Me?" Xia Yuze was a little surprised. He knew that Gu's legal department had many lawyers, most of whom were senior, and must have more experience than him. It seemed unreasonable to ask him to be the director.
"Well. The original director was transferred to other branches, so it was vacant. The company held an internal meeting and felt that you were very suitable." Gu Yan explained the reason, "Although you have not fought many lawsuits, they all won beautifully. The former director also admired your style very much, so I would like to ask you to make up for this position."
Xia Yuze frowned and whispered: "I can find a job myself, I don't need your help..."
"I'm not helping you, but just discussing things. You know, I have always been clear about public and private affairs. Even if I want to be arbitrary, I won't joke about Gu's." Gu Yan paused for a moment and continued: "I was worried that you wouldn't want to leave here, but now I've given me the opportunity to poach you."
Xia Yuze thought silently. He admitted that Gu was indeed attractive to him, but he had never worked as a lawyer for a company alone, lacked work experience, and did not know if he could do it.
Seeing that he was considering, Gu Yan continued, "If you want to go back like this, Zichen must be worried. If Lei Xin makes any more threats, Zichen probably won't give up. Instead of letting Lei Xin threaten, it's better to take the initiative to block the possibility that he can threaten you. Even if he refuses to give up, he will not dare to make trouble for Gu. Moreover, Gu has never interfered in the employees' safety, and you don't need to worry about the distrust of customers."
"You know a lot." Xia Yuze smiled helplessly.
"I want to dig you over, so I naturally have to find the most suitable time. You must also know clearly before you can feel at ease." Gu Yan raised his legs and leaned on the sofa casually. "Zi Chen will come to Gu's family sooner or later, you can treat it as paving the way for Zi Chen. He knows that you are in Gu's family, so he should feel more at ease than now."
Xia Yuze smiled, "I probably won't need me to pave the road."
Hearing his words, Gu Yan also smiled, "That's right, Gu Xu will definitely make arrangements. Now the only one who can make him care about is Zichen." Stopped his smile, Gu Yan said solemnly: "Actually, after all, I trust you. This is very important to me. I need to find someone I can trust to help me. With you in the company, I will feel more at ease with legal affairs."
Looking at the beautifully printed invitation letter, Xia Yuze swept the printed company logo around, thought for a while before speaking: "Okay, I'll go to Gu."
Whether it is love or career, the word trust is particularly important and rare. Only with trust can we better understand each other, cooperate, and reach consensus, so that the work can be smoothly carried out and avoid unhappiness.
Seeing him nodding, Gu Yan stood up and said, "Let's go, don't move these things back home, just move them to the company to save trouble. The office is already empty, so you can check the contract by the way."
Xia Yuze originally wanted to say whether it was too urgent, but considering these boxes of things, he finally decided to move them first.
Gu Yan made a phone call and waited for the bodyguard downstairs to move Xia Yuze's things away in full.
Xia Yuze handed the resignation letter to the Human Resources Department. The people in the office looked at Xia Yuze's attitude, but it didn't seem to be unemployed, but instead seemed to be promoted.
At this time, the senior executives of the firm came out of the conference room after the meeting. When they saw Gu Yan, they were stunned for a moment, and then came up enthusiastically. They naturally knew who could not afford to mess with him.
After seeing Xia Yuze standing next to Gu Yan, the big boss of the firm smiled and said, "Yize knows Mr. Gu?"
Before Xia Yuze could speak, Gu Yan said, "The Gu family has officially hired Lawyer Xia as the director of the Legal Department."
Although Gu Yan said nothing, the boss still noticed something strange. He was surprised and quietly observed Gu Yan's cold face, and felt a little regretful. If he had known Xia Yuze knew Gu Yan, he would not have driven anyone out of no way.
"Yuze, you have been in the firm for so many years, and I can't bear to leave, but there is nothing you can do. You have to be considerate. ˋˊ" The boss also knew that it was impossible to keep Xia Yuze, so he could only say some soft words to make up for his impression.
"I know." Xia Yuze actually didn't blame the firm for his actions. "It's thanks to everyone's care in the past few years. I'll see you again if you have the chance in the future."
The boss wanted to say something, but Gu Yan, who was waiting aside, seemed to have lost his patience, "Yuze, let's go."
Xia Yuze did not stay any longer. After saying goodbye to everyone, he entered the elevator with Gu Yan.
Afterwards, the two went back to Gu's family together, moved Xia Yuze into the office, and discussed the contract matters.
After confirming the contract content, Gu Yan did not delay and signed directly. He also gave Xia Yuze a week off and officially started working next week.
In order to celebrate Xia Yuze's joining Gu's family, Gu Yan invited him to dinner. Originally, what Xia Yuze wanted to invite for this meal was that Gu Yan provided him with a generous job, but Gu Yan never liked each other to pay for dinner with his family. If the two of them were just friends before, now with Xia Zichen's relationship, the two have become half of their family members, and they can be considered their family members.
Maintaining good dining etiquette, the two of them didn't say anything during the meal, and the silence was broken until the coffee was served after the meal.
"Is it still suitable for your appetite?" Gu Yan asked.
"Not bad, delicious." Xia Yuze nodded slightly, "Actually, every time I eat Western food, I feel that etiquette is more troublesome." In front of Gu Yan, Xia Yuze didn't have to be too reserved, so naturally he said whatever he wanted.
"Well, it will be more comfortable to eat at home." Although Gu Yan has been taught this etiquette since he was a child, he still likes a relaxing dining environment. It is just because the dishes here taste very good, so he wants to bring Xia Yuze to try it.
"I can't make this taste at home." Although his home-cooked dishes are pretty good, it's still a bit difficult for Xia Yuze to make Western food.
Gu Yan smiled, pointed to the coffee, "Try it."
"Yeah." Xia Yuze picked up the coffee and took a sip. It was indeed the taste he liked, and it was cooked more mellowly. "By the way, thank you for the coffee you brought back by Chenchen last time, it tasted very good.ˋˊ"
"Just like it." A box of Blue Mountain is nothing to Gu Yan. After drinking coffee for a while, Gu Yan said, "You don't have to care too much about Lei Xin."
Xia Yuze looked up at him when he heard this.
"The reason why he was so anxious to recognize Zichen back is to win over our family, on the one hand, Zichen is the only boy in the Lei family's generation, that is, the only grandson of the Lei family. Now the master of the Lei family is almost out of reach, and the brothers Lei Xin and Lei Cheng are preparing to split up. Mr. Lei is still very traditional. If Zichen and Lei Xin go back, Lei Xin will definitely get more property. If he is lucky, maybe the entire Lei family will inherit it directly for Zichen."
"Chenchen cannot go back with Lei Xin. Lei Xin will definitely drive him out after using Chen Chen." Xia Yuze frowned.
"I know. Actually, you don't have to worry. Although Lei Cheng only has the daughter of Lei Lanying, it is impossible for Lei Xin to inherit the Lei family with Zi Chen. The two brothers have always been incompatible. Lei Cheng will definitely fight at that time, so Lei Xin can only get more property at most, but it depends on whether Zi Chen is going back with him, and whether Lei Cheng is willing to let the old man know about this." Gu Yan analyzed the current situation.
"In fact, no matter how they divide it, it doesn't matter. The key is to see how much property the Lei family still has to divide." Gu Yan curled his lips invisibly, "The two projects that the Lei family had invested in had failed, and they lost a lot of money. Lei Cheng and Lei Xin dared not tell the old man, so they joined forces to do a high-end villa area project in City N. Some time ago, but unfortunately, this land must be compensated, but it has not yet appeared. In addition, the economic situation of the Lei family's failure to pay in recent years and the excessive squandering of their brothers and Lei Lanying, the Lei family now looks pretty good on the surface, but in fact it has been deficit inside. So Lei Xin is so anxious to cooperate with the Gu family."
Xia Yuze listened silently. He did not know much about Lei Xin, and he did not expect the Lei family to become like this in the end. In the years when Lei Xin left, he accidentally saw news about the Lei family on TV. Lei Xin married a consortium's eldest daughter, but he divorced a few years later. The reason was unknown and he had no children.
Gu Yan put his hands in front of him and said with a smile: "So we don't have to do anything, just wait for the day when the Lei family falls, it won't be too long."
Whether the Lei family collapsed or the two brothers separated, the Lei family would definitely not have the strength and status of the previous ones, and it would not be a threat to Xia Yuze at that time. ˋˊ
Xia Yuze smiled at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt that today's coffee was not only fragrant but also particularly strong.
Time passed by in peace and knew that Xia Yuze had entered Gu's family, and Xia Zichen thought it was a good choice. In late December, Xia Zichen took the last subject at the end of the semester and officially entered the winter vacation. Gu Xu also used his personal rights to give Xia Zichen a week off so that he could have a good rest before working.
The next day of the winter vacation, Xia Zichen invited An Jing and Tang Hui to come to their home for lunch. Gu Xu did not entertain her at home because she had to go to work. She just accompanied Xia Zichen to the supermarket the night before and bought the ingredients she wanted. Xia Zichen did not plan to cook at home, but only prepared hot pot ingredients to entertain An Jing and the others.
When he was about to move out, he said he wanted to invite An Jing and the others to take a seat, but the time for the three of them was always unmatched. When Xia Zichen had no classes, both of them had classes. When they had no classes, Xia Zichen had classes again, so it has been delayed until now.
When the two arrived, Xia Zichen went downstairs to pick them up. Without a door card, he could not enter the community gate.
When they opened the door, An Jing and Tang Hui changed their slippers and entered the house. Xia Zichen locked the door so that they could let them feel at will. Anyway, there were no outsiders, so they were very comfortable.
After visiting the room, An Jing moved to the living room and smiled and said, "This house is so spacious. Senior Gu spent a lot of money, right?"
"It was given by his elder brother, and he didn't ask about the housing price." Xia Zichen said the truth.
"It's really good. If I'm homeless in the future, I'll come to you."
Xia Zichen shrugged, "There is no guest room at home." At that time, he and Gu Xu were only thinking about the world of two people, and did not consider the issue of guest rooms at all. There was not even a folding bed at home.
"At worst, I can sleep on the sofa." An Jing pointed to the large sofa in the living room. It was absolutely fine to sleep here.
"Look at your promising prospects." Tang Hui glanced at him, "When you are coming, you will have to be in chaos here."
"Hmph." An Jing rolled his eyes back to Tang Hui and continued to visit him.
Xia Zichen was not surprised that they quarreled like this, "You can do it if you don't mind."
At noon, Tang Hui and Xia Zichen were washing vegetables in the kitchen together, putting the hot pot on the dining table, and cooking the soup base on a low heat. When it was boiling, the meat could be added.
An Jing, the incompetent housework, was also happy and relaxed. While walking around the house, he paid attention to the soup base to prevent the overflow after the pot was boiled. When passing by the Guzheng in the living room, he casually made a string of notes on it, which was said by Tang Hui to be a magic sound. In fact, An Jing felt very comfortable when walking in this room. Although he was not a very careful person, he could also see that everything in the house was paired. Although the color was monotonous, there was a warm feeling everywhere.
"It looks like you are doing well." Tang Hui put the cut yam on the plate, and all kinds of tableware in the cupboard were available. At a glance, you could tell that the two of them were living a serious life.
"Yes." Xia Zichen nodded. There is a saying: Only you know whether life is good or not. He thinks it's good now, that's good.
"I heard that Tianfeng Accord is preparing to move to "Sword-pointing Canghen" next year?"
"It's so decided. Are you here to join Tian Feng?" He heard An Jing say that Zhan Ming Palace did not seem to be moving all of them.
"Let's watch it then. You can join during the internal test. Wait until the public test, and see how many people come to play." Although Zhan Ming Palace has not been united before after the incident with Lian Fei'er, several people in the gang have been playing well with them. If those people want to switch to "Sword Pointing to Canghen" by then, Tang Hui will consider building a gang himself.
"Yes." Xia Zichen put the drained oil and maize vegetables on the plate.
Tang Hui was silent for a while and said, "Yi Cheng and Lian Fei'er have completely separated. He stopped playing games, and Lian Fei'er has also disappeared. He heard that he wanted to start helping his family, so he will not live in the school starting next semester."
"Is that right..." Xia Zichen was not going to say that he saw Lian Fei'er and other men. After all, those things had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to gossip.
"However, things at his family didn't seem to go well, so I didn't ask much about the specifics." Tang Hui hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I went to drink with him last week. He was a little drunk. I asked me if I didn't have Gu Xu, would you choose him?"
Xia Zichen paused the movements in his hand and chuckled, "What did you say?"
“I said ‘No’.”
Xia Zichen smiled, and his answer was no.
"You are not suitable."
"Yes. Gu Xu and I were always with him. But Shen Yicheng didn't. He was kind to me before, and he used his own ideas as the starting point to judge or influence my ideas. In other words, he didn't care what I thought, but only what he wanted me to think." Xia Zichen had already seen this question very thoroughly.
"You are right, because this person is Gu Xu, so you are the one you are now." After saying that, Tang Hui added two words to the back, "Very good."
To be continued...
