you are so tender

The next morning, Xu Man first sent Tian Xiaohui to the gate of the hospital.When Xiao Hui got out of the car, she said, "Xu Man, if you finish your work when you get off work, you can come to pick me up. If you are not finished, don't worry about me. If you want to go home for dinner, just let me know in advance." Then Xu Man drove Leaving, intending to organize the affairs of the Zhongshan branch of Wuhan Hengyi Law Firm.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and Xu Man knew that this matter could not be completed before the year, so he explored the road first to find out the general direction.She had just left the hospital, and she had an idea, why not go to Mingzheng Law Firm, where she left a few years ago, to catch up with her partners and old colleagues, maybe they can give some advice.Xu Man is familiar with the road, and she sat in the coffee shop with Tian Xiaohui for a long time yesterday, passed the law office back and forth, and knew that she was still in the same place, but at that time she was sad because mother and daughter could not recognize each other, and she had no other thoughts.Xu Man parked his car and walked into a building on the side of the street. Mingzheng Law Firm was located on the second floor.The director of Mingzheng, Qiu Xiaoming, was originally one of Xu Man's core partners. When Xu Man was the director, he was the deputy director.Unexpectedly, when the old director arrived, Qiu Xiaoming was overjoyed.After the host and guest took their seats, Xu Man went straight to the point: "Xiaoming, I'm back in Zhongshan now, and I'm not leaving."

"Sister Man, that's great! You shouldn't have left in the first place. When you were here, we were full of vigor, and everyone was willing to follow you. When you left suddenly, how many of those people left? It's because of limited ability, and there hasn't been much progress in the past few years. Come back quickly, and I will still be your deputy." Qiu Xiaoming said frankly, not in a polite way.

"You misunderstood, Xiaoming." Xu Man quickly explained, "Although I came back this time, I am alone, but I have a mission. I am still a member of Wuhan Law Firm and plan to set up a branch in Zhongshan."

"Is that so..." Qiu Xiaoming thought for a while, then blurted out, "Sister Man, why don't you take Mingzheng into the picture."

Xu Man never thought that Qiu Xiaoming would throw out this suggestion. Seeing the surprise on Xu Man's face, Qiu Xiaoming hurriedly said, "Sister Man, maybe I'm too abrupt. I don't know what strategic considerations your Wuhan headquarters has. Thinking of your at least To find a place, we have to recruit troops and buy horses. We have it ready-made. How about, Sister Man, you think about it? Of course, I suddenly came up with such an idea, and I can’t decide on my own. If I really want to do it, I have to ask other partners Views."

Xu Man immediately realized that it would be the best way if Mingzheng could be incorporated and restructured into a measuring branch.She responded immediately: "Xiaoming, originally I came here to seek the assistance of you and my old colleagues, to see if they could give me some advice. I have never thought of incorporating any existing law firms, so how dare I think about it? So your proposal really surprised me, but after what you said, it is really worth considering. Let me tell you, Xiaoming, as a branch of Wuhan Law Firm, is different from the system of Mingzheng Law Firm. We are Implementing corporate management is not as simple as changing a brand."

"Sister Man, hasn't it always been your ideal to run a law firm as a company? I personally am willing to try it. Otherwise, I will talk to a few other partners first, listen to their opinions, and discuss with each other. If If everyone is willing, I will call a meeting, Sister Man, you can talk about the strategic plan and specific plans of your headquarters, if you can hit it off, it will be easy for you to set up a branch." Qiu Xiaoming said.

"Oh! Xiaoming, I didn't expect that the first day I started to do things would be so smooth. It's great. Then I won't wander around and wait for your news." Xu Man said excitedly.

"Sister Man, I'm serious. If you have nothing else to ask me, I'll take you to meet your old colleagues and say hello. It's still early, and I'm not polite, and I won't let you eat. Sister Man, please do what you want. I just happen to have an urgent case at hand, so I can't accompany you." Qiu Xiaoming said.

Xu Man bid farewell to Mingzheng, immediately called Xiao Chunan after getting in the car, and reported the situation just now.Xiao Chunan was overjoyed, saying that he didn't expect Xu Man to have a clue so quickly.Xu Man said that there is still no conclusion on this matter, at least wait for Mingzheng's partners to discuss it before planning.Xiao Chunan said: "Xu Man, Mingzheng is your foundation. If you can change it to measure branches, you don't have to start from scratch, and you can immediately start expanding your business. Qiu Xiaoming, you also know the basics. He certainly didn't propose the merger at will. You Don’t just wait, I’ll give you a few principles, you first draw up a plan. First, branches must adopt a corporate system. It is also an old firm. Its name has a certain influence in the local area. I think it can be kept. In the future, the branch will be called "Weighing Mingzheng" or "Mingzheng Weighing" or simply "Mingzheng". This is up to you. It is decided that it should belong to the branch we are considering in terms of nature. Third, the restructuring of our headquarters has just been completed, and the equity structure has just been finalized. My opinion is not to make adjustments, but to stabilize for a period of time. Xu Man, remember, You are the main shareholder of Wuhan Scale. You and I have to think carefully about how the branch will operate as a corporation. The integration may not be accomplished overnight, because the Zhongshan branch is also the first attempt of Scale’s development in a different place, and there is a process of exploring experience. You may have to think more about this aspect, mainly how to join and measure the original partners of Mingzheng, and how to protect and reflect their rights and interests. At present, I can’t think of specifics, and we will discuss it later. In short, Xu Man, I feel that this is the case. It is a very rare opportunity, you have to seize it." When Xiao Chunan said that he was going to talk about a few principles, Xu Man had already taken out a pen and paper, and was recording the main points while answering the earphones.Xu Man expressed that she would go all out, please rest assured male sister.

"Xu Man, it's almost New Year's Eve, and it's not certain that it will come down a few years ago, why don't you go back to Wuhan for the New Year's Eve?" Xiao Chunan said.

"Male sister, I definitely can't go back to Wuhan now. The partners of Mingzheng are all in Zhongshan. If they agree to be restructured into our branch, they will be on vacation, and they can continue to discuss specific plans." Xu Man said.

"Okay, Xu Man, if you need me to go there, let me know right away, and then I will go back to Wuhan with you for the New Year."

"Male sister, I don't think you need to come here before the Spring Festival. When this matter is finalized, I will report the specific plan to the headquarters. After the restructuring and change procedures are completed in the next year, you can come to the opening ceremony."

"So, you are not going back to Wuhan during the Spring Festival?" Xiao Chunan asked.

"Well. I decided not to go back. If everything goes well, after the opening, I will accompany you back to Wuhan and report to the headquarters." Xu Man replied.

"That's okay. Anyway, you will be in charge of the Zhongshan branch in the future, so you don't have to go home for the New Year. It's the male sister who owes you." Xiao Chunan said.

"Don't say that, male sister." Xu Man said quickly, "The main reason for not returning to Wuhan for the New Year is because of personal considerations, and it has nothing to do with work. I have been away from Zhongshan for several years, and I want to get acquainted as soon as possible."

"By the way, Xu Man," Xiao Chunan said again, "the Wu Xiaolan you told me about when you left Wuhan, I called her and asked her to meet. She only asked me if you went back to Zhongshan and when? I will go back to Wuhan again. I told her that you are still a person who weighs, and you will definitely have a chance to return to Wuhan. Is there anything wrong with me saying this?"

"It's not right to tell the truth. I don't need to hide my situation from Wu Xiaolan. Sister, did Wu Xiaolan say anything else?" Xu Man asked.

"She didn't say anything else. I told her that when Xu Man left, she specifically told me to contact her, so I wanted to meet her. But she said that she couldn't arrange the time for a while, and said next time. I I feel that she is not in a high mood, and I feel that it is inconvenient to persist, so I thought to contact her after a while. Do you think this is okay?" Xiao Chunan said.

"Of course, male sister. Please don't mind if I cause you trouble. If I go back to Wuhan, or arrange a meeting with everyone, it may be more appropriate." Xu Man said, "Male sister, if you have no other instructions , I hung up the phone?"

"Okay, I'll leave the matter of the branch to you. Goodbye." Then, Xiao Chunan ended the call between the two.

Visiting Mingzheng Law Firm left Xu Man with nothing to do for the time being.Through the car window, she looked at the signboard of Mingzheng Law Firm not far away, feeling both emotional and comforted.She still had the notebook in her hand, and before she closed it, she read through the principles dictated by Xiao Chunan. She couldn't help admiring Xiao Chunan's courage and demeanor in commanding the three armies, and once again thanked her for her kindness to her.However, the one who touched Xu Man's heart the most during the call just now was undoubtedly Wu Xiaolan who was mentioned by Xiao Chunan last.Xu Man sat in the driver's seat numbly, suddenly feeling a little overwhelmed.The torrent of life never stops for a moment, but at this time it seems to avoid Xu Man, she is like a person standing on the bank of a big river, with no one around, she is left here.Xu Man was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses.She put the notebook away, put it in her handbag, started the car, and drove aimlessly out of the parking lot.

After leaving Wuhan, Xu Man did not change her phone number. She planned to change to a local number after the establishment of the branch office. Therefore, it is not impossible for Wu Xiaolan to contact her.Besides, even if she changed her phone number, it was impossible for her not to tell Wu Xiaolan.She just left her side, not severing each other.When watching a movie with Tian Xiaohui the day before yesterday, Xu Man deeply realized his unfeeling towards Wu Xiaolan.But obviously, Xu Man also adopted an attitude of understanding herself, so it did not affect her love with Tian Xiaohui.If she deliberately disappears and prevents Wu Xiaolan from being able to find herself, then she may realize that it is not just her own heartlessness, but some kind of bad character that cannot be forgiven.Although Xu Man left without saying goodbye, she left space and time for Wu Xiaolan so that at some point in the future, they would have the opportunity to rebuild a sisterhood in another sense.Xu Man could fully imagine how lonely and painful Wu Xiaolan must be when she was suddenly left behind by her!She didn't chase after the phone call, let Xu Man's ear fill with a heartbroken voice, no, she didn't.She didn't even send a private message to Xu Man. When the high-speed train roared out of Wuhan, Xu Man subconsciously turned on the phone screen marked Xiaolan several times along the way, but she never saw a single word, not a single sad text, Not a single heartbroken look, no, nothing.

Xu Man didn't know how he drove the car onto the South Ring Road.She didn't know which road she passed through, or which intersection she entered into the South Ring Road.Unknowingly, she stepped up the accelerator, and Tian Xiaohui's Toyota cross-country was speeding fast. Xu Man had never driven so fast before. She was not afraid at all, as if she was helped by a god, and she drove skillfully.Xu Man stared ahead, leaving the cars in the two lanes on the right behind one by one, and approached the intersection of Chengdong Landscape Avenue in the blink of an eye.She glanced at the central rearview mirror by chance, but she didn't see anything outside the rear window of the car, only seeing herself with tears streaming down her face.Xu Man slowed down the speed of the car, adjusted the central rearview mirror, and continued to drive forward, then turned into Bo'ai Road and drove into the city, passed through several tunnels, and then drove into Qiguan West Road. When the car stopped, she I found that I was sent to the door of the first child of the agency.This is not the time for pick-up and drop-off, the gate of the kindergarten is closed, and there is no one at the gate.Xu Man got out of the car, approached the fence, and walked along the edge of the sidewalk to the gate. She held her other hand with one hand, so that she finally avoided the impulse of either hand and did not ring the kindergarten. door, with a presumptuous request to let her in for an impromptu parental visit.Finally she ordered herself to leave, returning to her car temporarily parked on the side of the road.Xu Man didn't know how he experienced two lost experiences and the transition between them during his short time wandering on the road.Perhaps, there are similarities between the two, and both are an inseparable part of her soul.At that moment, she realized that human life does not end at the moment of death, but disappears part by part, bit by bit, during the time you are alive, which you can see, hear, and feel.
