leave you

Xue Jin actually didn't have a deep impression of Wan Sennian.

Wan Sennian taught criminal prosecution at Z University, but he didn't teach Xue Jin's class, so Xue Jin only met him in the elective law of evidence class.Although Professor Wan's teaching level is not bad, Z University Law School has never been short of good teachers. At least when they were in school, Wan Sennian was more talkative about his human touch than how he was doing in class. The low failure rate and his good deeds of sponsoring students.

On the other hand, Xue Jin does not need the teacher to let him pass the exam, and on the other hand, he is not a poor student who needs to subsidize tuition fees, so of course he has nothing to do with Wan Sennian.If he hadn't met Gu Zhilin after returning to China, he would have almost forgotten about this innocuous teacher.

He stood outside the door, and there was only one wall lamp on in the corridor, making the light from the crack of the door brighter.

"You have done a lot for Senke over the years, and the teacher is very grateful." He heard Wan Sennian say, "That's enough. I didn't do anything for you at the beginning. I just wanted to see you have a better future. You should do it for me." Think for yourself."

"Joining Senke is my own choice." Gu Zhilin's voice was calm, the same as usual, as if everything he said was particularly well-founded, "You gave me a lot of opportunities when I just graduated, which is also right. With my help, you don't have to have a psychological burden."

Wan Sennian sighed.

"The opportunity was won by you yourself. You are good enough. In fact, I didn't do anything... It's you who stayed in Senke all these years and felt wronged."

Xue Jin outside the door was stunned for a moment, and found that it was different from what he had imagined.

He always thought that Wan Sennian at least wanted Gu Zhilin to stay and renew Senke's life, but what he said sounded like he was trying to persuade Gu Zhilin to join a good law firm and not hang himself in Senke. on this tree.

Is this scientific?Could it be that he has misunderstood others for several years?

He listened intently, only to hear Gu Zhilin say: "No, there are advantages to being in Sunco, and there is also a lot of business now, which is very good."

"Others don't know what's going on with Senke, can I still not know? I've wronged you."

"Teacher." Gu Zhilin's tone became a little tougher, "It's just that two lawyers left last year, it's just a normal flow of personnel, we can still..."

Wan Sennian interrupted him abruptly: "Little Gu."

Gu Zhilin stopped obediently.

"I sometimes think that if I had changed someone at that time, or if I had been more cautious and not revealed that I was the one who paid for your mother's surgery, your situation would have been much better than it is now.

"You have paid back the 20 yuan with interest all these years ago. It stands to reason that you don't owe me anything at all. It was not difficult for me to pay the money back then. In my opinion, it was just to help my favorite students tide over the difficulties." , but you paid too much in return for this... Teacher feels bad conscience."

Gu Zhilin retorted: "No, you really helped me a lot. Without the 20, I might not even be able to graduate smoothly."

"So you see, I just want you to graduate smoothly and not sacrifice your future for family affairs, but you gave up the opportunity of insurance research in order to pay back the 20 that is nothing to me, and insisted on working at Sunco , this was not the result I wanted to see from the beginning."

"I let the teacher down."

Wan Sennian sighed again: "...you, why are you so stubborn."

Gu Zhilin stopped talking.When he insists on doing something, he always does more than talk, and he may even omit the effort of making excuses.

The corridor was quiet, only the occasional "ding" sound of the elevator going up and down would become the background sound, and their conversation could be clearly heard standing outside the door.Xue Jin didn't know how long he stood there, anyway, Wan Sennian really couldn't persuade Gu Zhilin anything, so he finally got up and left helplessly.

He avoided the shadow of the corner ahead of time, Wan Sennian didn't notice him, but he could see the other party's hunched figure coming out of the office under the dim light, and turned back to Gu Zhilin and said, "No need to send it away, you Go back as soon as you're done."

Gu Zhilin shook his head, insisted on sending him to the elevator, and said to him, "Be careful on the road."

Wan Sennian sighed for the first time tonight, the elevator doors closed quickly and began to descend slowly.

Gu Zhilin stood at the elevator entrance without moving, watching the number reach 1 before turning back.Xue Jin was still standing at the corner, but suddenly lost the mood to deliver food after listening to their conversation.

He didn't know how to communicate with Gu Zhilin in such a situation. He wanted to pretend that he hadn't been here before, and secretly took a detour to take another elevator, but Gu Zhilin who turned back seemed to have eyes on the side, already Spotted him standing in the shadows.

"Xue Jin?"

"..."

Being caught on the spot, Xue Jin had no choice but to turn around and hand him the already cold takeaway: "On a whim, I invite you to dinner."

The rice was no longer hot to the touch, and there was only a warm feeling left after receiving it, with a faint scent of food wafting from the fast food box.Gu Zhilin glanced at the name of the shop on the bag, and then weighed the temperature of the lunch box, he already knew how long he had been standing outside the door.

"Have you heard?"

Xue Jin nodded.

They've all been discovered, and there's no point in lying.

Gu Zhilin didn't say anything, he turned around and walked into the house with the rice in his hand: "Come in."

He went to the pantry to heat food in the microwave, Xue Jin found a seat and sat down, looked around, and found that Gu Zhilin's office was a bit different from what he had imagined.

The floor where Senke is located is a zigzag structure, with public spaces such as tea rooms and conference rooms in the middle, surrounded by large offices for assistants and interns and several small offices for lawyers.Gu Zhilin's office happened to be in a corner far from the elevator, so it was a relatively secluded location.

The decoration of the old building that is about to be demolished and refurbished is naturally not flattering to Xue Jin. The decoration style of Gu Zhilin's office is the same as the outside, except that he added two large cabinets of the same specification to the ceiling. , One has a glass cabinet door, and you can see that it is full of books, but the other cabinet door is opaque, and you don't know what is inside.

He was somewhat curious, and when Gu Zhilin came back with the hot meal, he asked casually, "What did you put in such a big cabinet?"

Gu Zhilin put down the lunch box and directly opened the cabinet door to let him see. On one side were several sets of spare suits, on the other side there was a thin quilt on the upper layer, and the lower layer was almost full of wine.

"...Are you still drinking in the office?" Xue Jin couldn't believe it.

He also built a small wine cabinet in his office, but it was far from the grandeur in front of him. He just saved some wine for occasional enjoyment, and Gu Zhilin had at least a dozen bottles of wine in this cabinet, ranging from dry white to wine. Vodka, the span is a little scary.

Gu Zhilin shook his head: "They're all in stock, most of them haven't been opened, do you want to drink together?"

"I came here after dinner..." Xue Jin said, but his eyes slid over the row of wine bottles one by one, and finally changed his words, "Okay, is there a barbecue stall downstairs?"

So half an hour later, the two opened a bottle of red wine, Gu Zhilin ate, Xue Jin ate barbecue, and sat on the sofa in the office to drink.

There is only one couch in the office. Xue Jin has never sat and drank with Gu Zhilin so purely before, especially when he accidentally overheard the conversation between the other party and Wan Sennian just now. A time bomb that could be ignited by Gu Zhilin at any time and explode.But he took a sneak peek up and found that Gu Zhilin was so absorbed in eating that he didn't pay much attention to him, so he relaxed a little, and found a safe topic while eating with chicken wings in his mouth: "Ah Sang over there It should be fine, and I will receive a notice to revoke the sanction probably next week."

"Ah."

"That little girl from the Faculty of Arts, how are you going to inquire about her situation? Today I asked the classmate who helped to inquire about the news. He said that the girl has been away from school for a long time, and her condition has not been very good. It may be difficult to find her."

After Gu Zhilin finished eating the boxed lunch, he put the chopsticks neatly together before closing the box, and finally tied the bag and threw it into the trash can.

"She's from a neighboring city, so she can come to her if she can't." He said, "Just choose a time when her parents are not at home."

"...Will it work?" Xue Jin was a little skeptical about the feasibility of this method, "She is not in a good state of mind, and her parents will let her stay at home alone? And she may not see us..."

A little girl who has suffered severe physical and mental trauma, and has mental problems. Uninvited strange adult men like them don't look like they will be received friendly.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. It's not there yet." Gu Zhilin looked as if the boat was going straight up to the bridge, poured himself half a glass of red wine, and asked him, "Full it for you?"

Xue Jin handed the glass over, watched the translucent wine fall into the glass, still couldn't sit still, and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Just now... I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Wan Lao."

Gu Zhilin put down the wine bottle, did not comment on his eavesdropping, but instead asked: "You were already downstairs when you sent the text message?"

"Well, on a whim, I didn't expect the time to come was not right."

When he was eavesdropping outside, he had scolded himself a hundred or eighty times for being troublesome, but no matter how much he scolded, he didn't move his legs, and just stood outside the door and listened to the whole process miraculously, even he himself didn't know it was a mistake What kind of medicine, why is he suddenly so interested in other people's privacy.

It's hard to say whether it's out of guilty conscience or something else, anyway, he's quite right and didn't intend to avoid his mistakes, so he simply admitted: "It's my fault for eavesdropping, I won't tell others."

Gu Zhilin frowned slightly, then quickly let go, his tone was a little cold: "It doesn't matter, it's not a secret."

In fact, not many people know about this matter. Wan Sennian deliberately did not disclose it to others, and he has no habit of telling outsiders about it. Basically, apart from the teacher and his wife, the only ones who know about this matter are him and his mother.

Now there is another Xue Jin, but he doesn't care because it is Xue Jin after all.

Xue Jin didn't know what he was thinking, so he made fun of himself, touched his nose and picked up his wine glass to hide his unnatural expression: "...Oh."

He didn't ask why no one around knew about it. Obviously, everyone stayed in Jiangcheng without going abroad, but after he came back, he only heard that "Gu Zhilin has a brain problem, and he entered Senke after graduation. Did not go" gossip.

Probably just because he, like everyone else, belongs to the irrelevant crowd.

Xue Jin originally wanted to ask his mother what was going on, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have no position to ask, so he closed his mouth again.

The tuition fee for that year was really nothing, Gu Zhilin could already settle the living expenses by himself, and the tuition fee of several thousand yuan would not cause any pressure on ordinary families, but the 20 yuan mentioned by Wan Sennian just now is another matter.When they were in their senior year, 20 was not a small amount. Even a wealthy young master like Su Yao couldn't afford it for a while. It must have been an emergency, and so much money was needed for surgery. .

No wonder Gu Zhilin has been staying at Senke to repay his favor. If Wan Sennian hadn't offered to mention it, this person might be able to work hard all the way to retirement.
