you are so tender

Xu Man did not expect that Qiu Xiaoming would give a clear answer within a week: All partners agreed in principle to reorganize Mingzheng Law Firm as a branch of the measurement, and hoped that the measurement would provide a specific plan as soon as possible so that the two parties could discuss and finalize the plan.Xu Man immediately called Xiao Chunan, and the two had further discussions on the draft that Xu Man had submitted to the headquarters before, and determined several principled clauses: First, Mingzheng’s original partners all entered the staffing of Wuhan Measuring, in order to provide better To protect and fight for the legitimate rights and interests of clients to the greatest extent possible, the headquarters has the right to coordinate and randomly deploy all registered lawyers as needed.Second, the tangible net assets after Mingzheng Qing’s property verification and capital verification are converted into 49% of the total assets of the branch, and an additional 51% of cash assets are injected into Mingzheng’s reorganization and branch establishment, and the rest is reserved as start-up funds.Third, after Mingzheng Law Firm is reorganized into a branch office, the headquarters will own 51% of the branch’s equity, while the original Mingzheng partners do not hold internal equity in the branch and only enjoy the remaining 49% of the branch’s equity. annual bonus distribution.Fourth, appoint Xu Man as the director of the branch, and Qiu Xiaoming as the deputy director. Xu Man does not hold shares in the branch outside the headquarters, and his salary is also paid by the Wuhan headquarters, but he can enjoy the bonus allocated by the branch and receive from the headquarters at the same time annual bonus.Fifth, the external name of the Zhongshan branch is "Weighing Mingzheng", and internally it can be called "Zhongshan Quanzhi" or "Zhongshan Mingzheng" according to the custom formed naturally.

After talking on the phone with Xiao Chunan, Xu Man called Qiu Xiaoming again, and the two made an appointment to have an interview at the cafe next to Mingzheng.Xu Man informed the headquarters of the five-point principle, and Qiu Xiaoming immediately expressed his personal agreement, and was particularly satisfied with the second point, feeling that Wuhan Measures has both sincerity and boldness.He said: "Sister Man, I think the overall situation of this matter has been settled, and I believe there will be no major obstacles. When I agree with my partners on a time, I will hold a meeting to finalize the case. At that time, I will host your speech. You see How?" Xu Man said, "Okay, I won't go to the office before the meeting, and when the plan is finalized and the two parties sign the document, I will discuss with you anytime about the details of the operation of the branch."

After walking out of the cafe, Xu Man got into the newly bought car and sent a private message to Tian Xiaohui with a happy pattern: "Xiaohui, my work here is considered settled, if you have no other plans tonight, let's have dinner outside to celebrate. "

"Baby is really capable, congratulations. We must celebrate." This is Tian Xiaohui's reply.

"It's a bit early now, I'll go home and drop off the car first, you can pick me up after get off work." Xu Man sent another private message.

"Okay." Tian Xiaohui replied with an OK gesture and a hug pattern.

It happened to be the weekend, and the two had a big meal and then watched a movie.As the last part of the celebration ceremony, Tian Xiaohui lay on the bed and asked: "Xu Man, if you want to make you completely happy today, if you have any requests, just ask. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

"Hmm." Xu Man thought for a while and said, "I want to experience the feeling of melting into the boundless."

"Haven't you experienced it?" Tian Xiaohui asked.

"I want to experience what you have experienced." Xu Man replied.

"Then I can't guarantee it." Tian Xiaohui pouted.

"You don't need to promise, you need to be desperate." Xu Man made a challenging look.

In the end, Xu Man said that she had experienced it, and from her writhing body and blurred eyes, Tian Xiaohui knew that she had experienced it, although Tian Xiaohui couldn't determine what posture she presented to express the indescribable beauty.That night they fell asleep again in the long lingering, and it was almost noon when they woke up the next day.In order to thank Tian Xiaohui for her kind hospitality, Xu Man said that she would take care of all the housework this weekend, and Xiaohui would be responsible for the inspection and acceptance.Tian Xiaohui laughed, "There are such good things! From now on, every weekend, I will be willing to risk my life once."

After waking up and washing up, the two of them drove out of Xu Man's car and went to find a hotel in the development zone to drink tea, because it was relatively quiet there, unlike the noisy tea places in the city, where they couldn't hear clearly.To have some refreshments, Tian Xiaohui said to Xu Man, "I called Yang Guangzhi. As soon as I answered the phone, he asked me coldly what's the matter. I said I wanted to make an appointment to chat with him. He said that if I have something to do Please talk on the phone first, and then meet again if you don't understand clearly. If you want to talk about Xu Man, then don't talk about it. What kind of attitude do you think he is!"

"Xiaohui, we've discussed it, let's talk about Jiaojiao's matter later." Xu Man said.

"I was so angry at the time, I asked him why he couldn't talk about Xu Man? Xu Man, guess what he told me?" Tian Xiaohui, tell Xu Man for me that I have already taken care of her emotions. You take She went to see Jiaojiao in kindergarten, so I didn’t say anything, right? But my concessions are limited. She wants to recognize her daughter back, so let’s dream!’ After finishing speaking, he actually hung up on my phone.” Tian Xiaohui said, I also hate it so much that my teeth itch.

"Xiaohui, I'm mad at you!" Xu Man comforted Tian Xiaohui, as if Tian Xiaohui was the one who wanted to find her daughter. "Let me tell you, Yang Guangzhi has always hated me in his heart. He probably hates me far more than you hate him. His tone has never come out."

"He's a man, and he's been divorced for several years. Besides, he hasn't been idle, not to mention finding a new love. Now that he has both children and a complete family, what's his dissatisfaction?" Tian Xiaohui asked.

"This has nothing to do with his current life, it belongs to past grievances." Xu Man explained.

"Then what does he mean? Could it be that the old love is hard to let go? If that's the case, shouldn't he consider your feelings, Jiaojiao is your daughter after all." Tian Xiaohui continued.

"Xiao Hui, I don't think there is a problem of whether it is difficult or not. Otherwise, how will he live now? I think he and Zhou Lijuan are doing well. I sincerely hope that they will love each other. In my opinion, Yang Guangzhi is just angry with me. Divorcing him, maybe the divorce itself is not the problem, but he can't figure out why I want to divorce." Xu Man said.

"Xu Man, then just tell him that you are..." Tian Xiaohui suddenly realized the situation she was in, and quickly stopped.She also glanced around subconsciously, as if she had already spoken.

"If I..." Xu Man also seemed to realize something, and then stopped.In fact, Xu Man wanted to say that if she was alone, she would not be afraid to tell Yang Guangzhi the truth now.Xu Man didn't want Tian Xiaohui to know what her real concerns were, but she stopped talking suddenly, because Xu Man was afraid of showing her feet.Fortunately, she was quick-witted, and immediately went on to say: "If only I had insisted on taking Jiaojiao away."

"What's the use of regretting now? Besides, Yang Guangzhi will never agree, otherwise you won't be able to get divorced." Tian Xiaohui said.

"That's what you said." Xu Man successfully changed the subject.But she felt that Tian Xiaohui would find the source sooner or later, so she took the initiative to give another explanation. "Yang Guangzhi's unhappiness is ultimately his personal problem. Think about it, when two people are in love, they usually ask each other, what do you love about me? In fact, in this situation, it is not about asking questions and seeking answers, it is not In order to get an exact answer, because there really is no standard answer.”

"Then why did you say it?" Tian Xiaohui asked.

"For the sake of sweet talk." Xu Man said, "Sometimes people may feel that happiness comes too suddenly, or falling in love is like a dream, and they have to listen to the expression of love to feel real, or because they love someone too much. As for being ashamed and afraid of receiving the wrong love, you need the other party to point out your cuteness. As for whether it is the origin of love, it doesn’t matter. Sometimes I think that when people want to love, there are many reasons. It can be said that heroes are everywhere. But if you don’t love me anymore, do you need any reason? If you insist on forcing people to speak out, I’m afraid every one is a sharp sword that hurts people, and it cannot stand the argument, so it is unavoidably absurd. For example, you can say that because someone is too short, So it's difficult to love. What's wrong with being short? Can't you love if you are short? You can't say that people are not beautiful, handsome or poor. Jane? , I have no soul, no heart? You are wrong!——I have as many souls and as full hearts as you! 【Note 1】'And isn't love the same mind? So, little Hui, how do you explain the reason so that people will believe your words?"

"Well, what you said makes sense. But," Tian Xiaohui said in a low voice, "different sexual orientation, there is still an essential difference from being short and poor. Maybe people, like Yang Guangzhi, are more accepting?"

"Xiaohui, your question inspired me." Xu Man took a sip of tea, then motioned Tian Xiaohui not to delay eating, and then continued: "I don't think there is any essential difference between all the reasons. Because there is no love at all. A reason is needed, or there is no reason at all. Isn’t being short and poor a valid reason? Is being rich and beautiful a valid reason? Nope. One doesn’t have to love being rich and beautiful. , Not loving is not because of a certain object, but because of myself. If I don’t love someone, do I still need to find out a reason? Xiaohui, you said that love is specific. That is to say, even if I have to give a reason, I Is it enough to be responsible only to the person I love? If she needs it, I am willing to tell her a reason every time, or the same reason every time, even if she asks thousands of times. But I don’t love a person, What reason do you want me to give? Oh, by the way, since love is concrete, then not loving is abstract. Where do you want me to find the specific reason not to love?"

"Xu Man," Tian Xiaohui said, "I have to add, there is indeed a specific reason why you don't love Yang Guangzhi."

"That's right. I know this myself. However, this reason is not only the reason why I don't love Yang Guangzhi, but also the reason why I won't touch any man. Therefore, for Yang Guangzhi or any man, isn't it still an abstraction? And I said just now that I don’t love anyone because of myself. This sentence means that any reason you put forward, no matter how specific, no matter how factual, no matter how sincere you are, for those who are overconfident and narcissistic. Say, it is too abstract, too illusory, too full of doubts, believe it or not. If I tell Yang Guangzhi, 'I am a lesbian, I don't love men but women,' will he let go of the resentment and let go of the past? He can say, 'Xu Man, you lie to the devil! You might as well tell me which man you fell in love with, and he doesn't like you at all!' Tell him, I think he's not good enough Big, not enough money, what's the difference?"

"Xu Man, you convinced me." Tian Xiaohui said, "And I also want to say that having a barrister like you has reduced my confusion about the world. However, you made the food cold, and I called The waiter warmed it up." Tian Xiaohui didn't know, but Xu Man finally realized that she was actually trying to convince herself.Even if it wasn't for the recognition of mother and daughter, Xu Man didn't want Yang Guangzhi to resent her so much. She once blamed herself in introspection and felt that she should confess the real reason to Yang Guangzhi.Although considering the interests of Tian Xiaohui's mother and son, she decided not to do that, but she still felt that it should be done.After this exchange, Xu Man seems to have found a legitimate reason for not commenting.So she said lightly: "I won't talk anymore, I want to eat something. Xiao Hui, do we have any plans for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I want to go to Guangzhou to see Xiaolei, because I need to tell you first, so I haven't contacted Lao Ding yet." Tian Xiaohui replied.

"That's right, I don't know if Lao Ding will take his children back to his hometown for the New Year, but he should go and see them years ago. Xiao Hui, is it appropriate for me to go with you?" Xu Man asked.

"I just wanted to go with you. Xiaolei is our son, why don't you go see it!" Tian Xiaohui replied.

"Okay, then you should contact Lao Ding." Xu Man said eagerly.

"Yeah. After drinking tea, I'll call Lao Ding when I go out. We'll leave after breakfast tomorrow," Tian Xiaohui said.
