Chapter 2 God helps those who help themselves!
On a summer evening, people are coming and going at the food stall in front of Chuan Chuan Xiang on the side of the road. On the square table in the corner are four cold dishes, a dozen skewers of freshly cooked meat skewers, ribs and two skewers of large kidneys.
There are two large draft beers.
Two middle-aged men sat opposite each other, with more than thirty bamboo sticks scattered on the table. The middle-aged man sitting on the left was Fang Yi, who was absent-mindedly eating grilled skewers.
The middle-aged man opposite is his best friend Li Shuming, a colleague who joined the University of Applied Sciences in the same group. He later resigned and became the owner of Huihuang Bath. Huihuang is an entertainment and leisure club that integrates bathing, leisure, eating and drinking, and has been very popular in recent years.
.
Li Shuming has short hair, a thin figure, a very smart appearance, and bright eyes. Although he is middle-aged, he is getting younger and younger as he lives. He is obviously doing well!
After a mouthful of Lao Bai, Li Shuming grinned: "Hey, let's get down to business after eating. Why did you send me so many WeChat messages last night? Why don't you come back! I regret it...what do you mean?"
"Did I send it?" Fang Yi was startled and asked confused.
Li Shuming didn't talk nonsense with him, directly called up the WeChat records and put them in front of him: "Look, if you hadn't sent me these nonsense, I would have been so idle that I came all the way from the city.
I ran over here and didn’t reply to my calls. I thought something had happened to you!
But then again, we haven’t seen each other for several months, why are you so haggard? Did the couple fight? "
"I'm sorry, I was drunk last night. I originally wanted to send it to my wife, but I don't know how it got to you.
My matter is a bit complicated and I can’t explain it in a sentence or two..." Fang Yi faced the old friend’s questioning and recounted what happened in the past month or so in detail.
After saying that, he felt a lot more comfortable and not as depressed as before.
Li Shuming was silent. He put down the draft beer in his hand, picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a Huazi and handed it to Fang Yi, and then lit one himself.
"You know my story. Back then, I was at odds with the old principal and department chair. In fact, thinking about it now, there's no deep hatred. It's just that my way of doing things was a little different and a little extreme. They, these old antiques, couldn't see it.
It's just not pleasing to the eye.
They suppressed me in every possible way in the school, marginalized me, and even made me burn the boiler for two years. Just when I thought everything was over, I was fired from the school.
At that time, I couldn't figure it out just like you. I locked myself in the room, drank and smoked all day long, and didn't dare to see anyone. I was hesitant and helpless for a long time.
Although my family didn't say it, it was obvious from their expressions that they felt that I was embarrassing and that they couldn't hold their heads high in the village.
When I calmed down, I found that drinking, hesitation, and fear would only make me sink deeper, and I would not have the courage to face those unbearable past events.
Later, I tried to face everything that happened calmly, including my past, my family, and my friends, and found that it didn't seem that difficult.
Since I don’t have the courage to die, I have to go back to reality and continue to live. People always have to find a way to survive, so I started borrowing money from everywhere to start a business, but no one was willing to lend it to me. If you hadn’t lent me two dollars,
Ten thousand yuan, I don’t even have start-up capital.
Now I am among five and six people. Last year, the city named me one of the ten outstanding young people and even gave me an award! Even the dean of the department who looked down on me at the beginning was full of praise for me. I know every word he said.
None of my words were sincere, but so what, I'm doing better than him.
Nowadays, no one mentions the past. People in the village only know that there was Mr. Li, and they no longer remember Teacher Li who was dismissed from the school."
After saying that, the cigarette suddenly lit up. After burning violently, Li Shuming slowly blew out a string of smoke rings and asked with great enjoyment: "Do you know why this is?"
"Because you are rich!" Fang Yi looked up at him and said.
"Yes! Because I am prosperous, make more money than them, and am more famous than them.
What I want to say to you is, let the past go. Don’t be entangled or hesitant, otherwise your life will be full of negative energy.
Everything that has happened in the past month or so, no matter how unbearable, is just a threshold in your life. Once you cross it, you will be reborn. Your father can straighten up in the village, and your children will also regard you as their best.
Glory; if you can't cross it, you will always be stepped on by others, and you will never be able to hold your head up.
There is a saying that if you want to completely solve the predicament you are facing, there is only one way - break it, crush it under your feet, and then climb up on it. Otherwise, no one can help you.
God will help those who help themselves!" Li Shuming narrowed his eyes, smoked a cigarette, and said in the tone of an experienced person.
"Well, God will help those who help themselves!" Li Shuming's words strengthened Fang Yi's confidence in finding his life, and his eyes slowly became clear from confusion.
"It's great if you can figure it out. It's not worth driving all the way here. What will happen next? Do you have any plans?" Li Shuming said with a smile.
"Find a job first! Solve the problem of food and clothing." Fang Yi said in a dull voice.
"If people move, they will live, but if they move trees, they will die. I support your idea. Have you decided what to do? Brother, I would like to advise you, you must plan for the future and act with determination.
We are children from a poor family and do not have so many opportunities for trial and error." Li Shuming put away his smile and said seriously.
"To be honest, I have been in college all these years and have no idea about the outside world. I don't know what I can do." Fang Yi said with a wry smile.
"If you don't have a suitable place to go, you can come to my bathing center! Except for the position under my butt, you can choose any position." Li Shuming said with a smile.
"I'm telling you seriously, I'm not kidding!" Fang Yi said seriously: "Help me give my advice, I can do anything I can!"
Li Shuming took a toothpick from the table and picked his teeth: "I think you have two options. One is to go to a company to practice law and be a white-collar worker; the other option is to join a law firm and change your profession to become a lawyer. You have not been able to do it before.
I have been working as a part-time lawyer in a law firm.
To be honest, your personality is not suitable for starting a business!"
Fang Yi pondered for a moment: "Which one of the legal affairs and lawyers will develop? Can they make a lot of money? I want to make money."
“It’s really hard to say, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
White-collar workers in large companies are like beauties in the emperor's harem. They have a lot of knowledge but no future. They can only wait to die! How much they make depends on the situation of the company and the character of the boss.
But you have a fatal shortcoming, that is, your age. You are over thirty-five years old, and you have been teaching at a university. You have relatively little practical experience, so you do not have an advantage in joining a company. But if you want to join a company, you do not
Whatever the problem is, I can help you.
There is no upper limit on the income of a lawyer, but it depends on your resources. It is actually quite difficult to be a lawyer. If you want to make a breakthrough, you have to make a lot of money, but if you don't make it, you will just be stuck in the dirt!
I remember that you are a doctor of law. You studied law with a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and a Ph.D., and you graduated from the prestigious Law University. For now, the name of the law school and the title of doctor are your biggest reliance. Why don't you become a lawyer?
Maybe we can find a way out, after all, it’s better to be experienced than live!” Li Shuming thought for a while and said.
