Chapter 85 A Missed Opportunity

Lin Xi went to Area B.

Stepping out of the subway station, I felt a wave of dizziness. The area was filled with towering buildings and bustling traffic.

Even though it was a company she had known for three years, Lin Xi felt a little unfamiliar looking at the nearby streets.

The road is still the same road, but the trendy shops on both sides are not the same as before. Only the coffee shop on the corner is still the same as it used to be.

Lin Xi followed the map navigation and entered a building.

Standing in front of the elevator, I found "Hongwen Law Firm" on the sign next to it and pressed the corresponding floor button.

As soon as you step out of the elevator, you see a wall of honor and introductions of outstanding lawyers. Among them are two lawyers who frequently appear on legal channels, and Lin Xi had seen them on TV before.

There are no photos of Lu Wei here. It's 2019 now, and Lu Wei is still very young.

Walking down the corridor, through the glass wall you can see the simple decor and the lawyers working in an orderly fashion. Most of them are dressed like Lu Wei in Lin Xi's memory, looking clean and professional.

So that's how Lu Wei got his white shirt.

However, Lu Weiren is tall and has fair skin, so the clothes don't look as formal on him, and he also lacks the air of a typical office worker.

But Lin Xi did not catch a glimpse of that figure.

Seeing her looking around at the door, the receptionist gave a professional smile: "This is Hongwen Law Firm. How can I help you?"

Lin Xi stepped forward and said gracefully, "Hello, I'm looking for lawyer Lu Wei."

The receptionist's expression was slightly strange. She exchanged a glance with a telephone operator next to her, and then said to Lin Xi, "Lu Wei just finished his one-year internship last month and resigned right after passing the lawyer's license review."

Lin Xi was slightly surprised: "When?"

"yesterday."

Lin Xi felt a pang of regret; she should have come to meet him as soon as she was reborn, but now the two of them had missed each other.

But it's not beyond saving. Lin Xi asked, "Do you have his contact information?"

The receptionist maintained her professional smile: "I'm sorry, but since Attorney Lu has left the company, we cannot disclose his contact information. If you need legal assistance, we can arrange for a more experienced lawyer to assist you."

This phenomenon is easy to understand.

Lu Wei has already left this law firm. Logically speaking, he has most likely gone to a company in the same industry, which means that Lu Wei and his former law firm have become business competitors.

Furthermore, out of privacy protection, Hongwen Law Firm will not disclose contact information.

Having failed to achieve his goal, Lin Xi left dejectedly.

Before leaving, I overheard the receptionists whispering among themselves:

"I don't know what Lu Wei is thinking. The boss values ​​him so much. If he stays, he'll definitely have a great future."

"Exactly, exactly. They actually used this place as a stepping stone, and left as soon as they got their licenses."

"Isn't Hongwen the most famous law firm in Nanhua? Where is he going to switch jobs?"

As Lin Xi left Hongwen Law Firm, she took a deep breath.

Although she and Lu Wei often bumped into each other, they didn't know much about each other. They only knew that in their previous life, he worked at Hongwen Law Firm, but now he had resigned, and they could only meet by chance.

Lin Xi took out her phone to check the time, only to see a message from Gu Yixuan pop up:

"Are you in Zone B? Could you bring me some taro cake?"

Then the money was transferred without waiting for a reply.

The cost of two cakes.

The other payment was for Lin Xi.

Although the young lady treated people like servants, she still knew to give them some rewards.

Lin Xi smiled wryly, realizing that her relationship with Gu Yixuan hadn't been very good before.

If she hadn't been the only one still alive after the apocalypse, the young lady probably wouldn't have kept in touch with her so often.

But thinking of Gu Yixuan, Lin Xi suddenly realized that this person was still somewhat useful to her:

Three years later, the year Lin Xi graduates from university, Yu Shiyun's studio will be launched. Soon after, Lu Wei will go to find Yu Shiyun because Lu Wei once said that "family needs a safe house".

They can "get to know each other again" through Yu Shiyun at that time.

-

Lin Xi enrolled in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) at the most famous martial arts school in Nanhua City.

After filling out the form and paying the fee, Lin Xi noted her desire to pursue a professional career path.

The receptionist brought in a professional coach to take her through a comprehensive ability test. The coach's eyes widened at the results:

"Are you really going to pursue a professional career? Many Sanda athletes started by training from childhood."

The implication is that Lin Xi's overall ability test score was very poor, she is not a naturally gifted player, and she started later than others.

He is simply not suited to a professional career path.

The coach spoke the truth: "Actually, ordinary people don't necessarily have to go through the professional route to practice Sanda. If you learn to the intermediate level here, self-defense will not be a problem."

Lin Xi raised an eyebrow: "It's okay, I'll sign up first. I'm determined to reach a professional level."

You need to max out your combat skills before you can defeat the zombies.

The coach led Lin Xi back to the front desk, where the receptionist told her, "This training will be painful and lengthy, and it will be expensive."

Lin Xi smiled and nodded perfunctorily.

Expensive?

Although she, from the future, is still not physically strong and her IQ has not improved, she has the advantage of time and knows what she can do to make money legally and quickly.

For example, e-commerce.

It's still the same way she knows how to make money.

At worst, we can just sell that old, run-down apartment.

In short, Lin Xi had already imagined himself becoming a Sanda master, moving freely among the zombies.

However, the ideal was far from reality. The next second, Lin Xi was led to a beginner's class in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing).

Most of the students in the beginner class are minors, who are in the stage of getting familiar with and understanding Sanda.

The road ahead is long and arduous.

-

Lin Xi went through a very busy period.

Every morning, I give up sleeping in and exercise on the vibrant sports field of the university.

He also changed his previous absent-minded style of sleeping in class and listened attentively every day, taking notes and absorbing all the knowledge into his brain.

Accounting is a useless subject in the apocalypse, and it doesn't help her plans in this life either.

But now her whole state and mindset have changed. She's completely transformed and has a drive to do everything well, as if she'd die if she didn't.

In addition to learning Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) after class, students also need to schedule time to go to the gym to improve their physical fitness and lay a foundation for Sanda.

She studied hard and consistently attended classes, and soon graduated from the introductory Sanda class and entered the beginner class.

The coach re-evaluated Lin Xi:

"Not bad. Although you started late, you can always improve your skills with practice. Once your physical fitness and strength catch up, you will make even greater breakthroughs."

The coach even recommended that she participate in a competition jointly organized by several schools, as her level was good enough to compete in the beginner group.

Most people who learn Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) want to put their skills to practice. These competitions offer professional guidance and safe venues, allowing students to fight each other with peace of mind.

Lin Xi also wanted to know what level she had reached. When she signed the registration form, she saw a familiar name on the form.
