In Tang Jinyu's mind, she was someone who disliked trouble and was too lazy to explain too much to others.
Most of the time, even when she was misunderstood, she disdained to stand up and let others listen to her.
Tang Jinyu wished she could make the most of every minute of her time, leaving no free time whatsoever.
Qi Yi didn't have the time or inclination for that. He wished he could just push all the cases at hand away rather than keep himself busy like a spinning top.
They are completely different styles from Tang Jinyu.
He used to think that he and Tang Jinyu were completely complementary, but what if one of them didn't notice?
Another point I'd like to remind you of.
Tang Jinyu is too busy to keep track of Qi Yi's progress. She's barely able to take care of her own affairs, let alone have any energy for anything else.
In front of others at the law firm, she always had to maintain a certain level of reserve, knowing what to say and what not to say.
She always needs to have a clear understanding of things.
If it affects the so-called morale of the law firm, wouldn't that be causing trouble?
Tang Jinyu herself was alright, but with so many people in the law firm, she decided to let it go and avoid losing face.
I can't afford to lose face, and I can't embarrass Qi Yi either.
It's alright with other people, but Qi Yi is her senior, who has been taking care of her since college.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be willing to stay here now. Besides the good atmosphere, there's still some old friendship involved.
Over time, we've been hanging out together for quite a while now.
Even Tang Jinyu herself didn't expect it.
Now, when I try to recall those days, I can't remember what happened at all.
The memory is so distant that it's only natural that it's been forgotten.
No matter how good her relationship with Qi Yi was, it couldn't erase everything.
She was determined to remember everything, but later she realized that it was quite a burden for her.
So she simply stopped thinking about it.
She knew she didn't have enough energy, and she also knew that Qi Yi wouldn't hold it against her, which allowed her to feel at ease.
Tang Jinyu herself was somewhat self-aware.
Her brain only really works when she's memorizing professional knowledge.
Aside from official business, she's like a little goldfish with a memory that lasts only about seven seconds.
Some things are remembered quickly, but forgotten just as quickly.
She might forget everything Qi Yi told her just a second ago.
Even if the pressure isn't on her, there are still some things she needs to pay more attention to.
At the law firm, her assistant usually keeps an eye on things, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
No matter what, Tang Jinyu felt that she could never let her guard down.
If something unexpected happens suddenly and she doesn't have time to react, relying solely on He Danqing would only increase the difficulty for him.
Nobody knows what level He Danqing is capable of.
It is said that when you are pushed to a certain point, you will have unlimited potential, but didn't this young master He put all his talent points into painting?
Everyone calls him a young artist, and that's certainly true.
Tang Jinyu was fortunate enough to see his paintings, and they were indeed very good.
Although she didn't understand the intricacies of the art, she could still sense the quality and artistic conception of a painting to some extent.
However, these are things she can't say.
Especially since it was difficult to comment, Tang Jinyu thought that she really couldn't say anything.
If all these problems were placed on her, who would be crushed? It's completely unknown.
She didn't want to waste any more time thinking about these things, and wished she could take advantage of Qi Yi's inattention to be lazy for a while longer.
She really doesn't need anyone watching her. After all, even if no one is paying attention to her, she will still complete her tasks properly.
I just don't know if I'll be able to act like nothing ever happened when I see these people again in the future.
Even if we can't become friends, we shouldn't become enemies.
Otherwise, it would be really awkward if we bumped into each other on the street.
Tang Jinyu's mind was in complete turmoil whenever she thought about these things.
If she could just do her job properly, she probably wouldn't have so many worries.
What I fear is that before one wave subsides, another will rise.
They always picked themselves out and piled them all in front of her. Whether it was her or Qi Yi, perhaps neither of them wanted to face such a scene.
Being a lawyer always involves a degree of being unable to control one's own destiny.
Qi Yi leaned against the door for a while, listening to her say these words, and instantly felt that she had really grown up.
I used to think that Tang Jinyu needed more training before she could become someone who could stand on her own.
He wouldn't think that way now. If she had joined a sect, she would have graduated by now.
There's no need for further comment; Tang Jinyu's every move has already proven that she has her own opinions on everything.
Being unwilling to speak doesn't mean you don't have thoughts.
"What's wrong, senior? You're not planning to keep staring at me like that, are you?"
Being stared at isn't a problem, but it does feel a bit awkward.
She could accept all the praise from Qi Yi without hesitation, but she was still a little shy.
Perhaps because they've known each other for so long, all of Qi Yi's actions seem rather strange.
It was already unusual for him to praise someone, and the way he did so, accompanied by a strange smile, left her feeling completely flustered.
Tang Jinyu never imagined that knowing someone for a long time would bring such troubles.
It would have been better to decline earlier, so that I wouldn't be thinking of crawling into a hole now.
Some people feel lost and unsure of what to do when facing anyone.
"No, I was just looking around. Don't take it to heart. I was originally planning to treat you to a meal if you two had some free time."
"But it seems you're all quite busy right now, so let's talk about it later."
"It's alright, you two don't need to worry about what I think. I'll always stand by your side."
"But we can't predict what moves our opponents will make, so even if we consider all sorts of possibilities, unexpected things can still happen."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I knew from the beginning that this case wouldn't be easy."
Qi Yi paused for a moment before continuing, "I know you might think I'm just trying to comfort you by saying this."
"I just happened to think of it, so I thought I'd remind you."
He realized this by accident, while in his office.
It wasn't that I absolutely had to come and remind you, it just so happened that it was convenient.
From beginning to end, he did not think that Tang Jinyu had any problems with her professional skills.
Otherwise, I wouldn't feel so at ease.
Tang Jinyu is truly flawless and without any weaknesses or loopholes.
Even if she does nothing, she can be considered a lucky charm in a law firm.
Besides, when she first graduated, I did value her abilities.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have started a talent war with other law firms right after graduation, and it's not like they only retained people by offering high salaries.
But it is essential to reason with them and appeal to their emotions.
Perhaps Tang Jinyu, out of consideration for their friendship as university alumni, didn't make things too difficult for him.
He agreed very easily.
She probably has no idea how happy Qi Yi was when he heard she was coming.
He was just pretending to be reserved and couldn't show it, that's all.
Therefore, Tang Jinyu did not know what his thoughts were at the time, and now no one will bother to investigate them.
Anyway, it's all in the past. They're quite well-known in the legal world now, so no one's going to be so bored as to reminisce about the past.
It's often said that when two people know each other for a long time, they can become inseparable and talk about anything.
They really haven't reached that level yet.
Besides, Tang Jinyu doesn't have many secrets to speak of.
To say that they hid something from Qi Yi would sound unrealistic.
Tang Jinyu wouldn't need to be so obvious in front of Qi Yi. Aren't there enough rumors about the two of them in the law firm?
That's already a lot.
Tang Jinyu didn't want to give them any more ammunition, mainly because it would have a significant impact on Qi Yi.
Tang Jinyu could hear their discussion and felt that it was best for them to keep it to themselves.
As long as she doesn't hear it, she can still pretend that nothing happened.
Even in their presence, he wouldn't show any discomfort.
That's the effect I want; even in front of them, I have to appear completely calm and collected.
In this way, no one can guess what's going on.
Normally, Tang Jinyu considers herself someone who doesn't take anything to heart. She believes that only by being carefree can she better survive in this industry.
Otherwise, her life might have been affected by something else entirely.
Tang Jinyu disliked too many surprises and preferred to play the fool, not as clear-headed as others perceived her to be.
I don't want to worry about too much.
Apart from the cases she was handling, there was nothing else worth wasting her time thinking about.
In this situation, she felt that Qi Yi had said almost everything he could say.
There was really nothing left for her.
Tang Jinyu tried to speak several times, wanting to say something, but she was still unsure whether it would be appropriate to say these words.
Even if there are truly no secrets between the two of them, there still need to be boundaries.
There can't be no sense of boundaries at all, or things would fall into chaos.
Tang Jinyu took this matter very seriously, and even though she was facing someone she knew very well, she still had to think it through carefully.
Every word that comes to mind must be carefully considered.
She was afraid that if she said those words, she would offend Qi Yi.
Originally, they were the only two people in the law firm who had the best relationship.
There isn't much time usually available for them to sit down and talk about things unrelated to the case during their free time.
She herself couldn't remember the last time she had afternoon tea.
So busy, I'm never even seeing anyone.
If she wanted to find out when Qi Yi was at the law firm, she would probably have to go to his assistant first and check his schedule.
Sending a WeChat message is no longer enough to confirm anything.
He rarely checks WeChat when he's in court or discussing business outside.
Tang Jinyu understood everything, so she didn't dwell on the matter.
It just feels a bit strange to suddenly feel like this. Usually, when they have free time, they go out for tea in the afternoon and chat about things.
I have neither the mood nor the time right now.
Even if she could see all the things happening here, not much would change.
If everything could remain as it was originally, that would be the easiest thing to do.
"I understand everything you're saying."
Tang Jinyu pouted. If she wanted to live so clearly, she wouldn't be here now.
Isn't it more relaxing to go home?
That would definitely be much better than here, but unexpectedly, even so, this group of people still didn't intend to let her go.
They wished they could surround and intercept her, leaving her with no way out.
But she had thought about all of this from the beginning, so she prepared many options for herself and would choose based on the circumstances.
She's not stupid.
After Tang Yuan reminded her immediately, she made thorough preparations.
She had to consider both what she should and shouldn't think about.
Only then would she have the time to do other things.
Otherwise, if everything falls into place too late, wouldn't that be a lack of order?
She was also afraid that if she did things without a plan, she wouldn't even know how to make amends.
Tang Jinyu now utterly loathes the feeling of wanting to do something but finding herself at a loss for how to do it.
That feeling was really unpleasant, so after experiencing it many times, Tang Jinyu stopped thinking that way.
Even if she didn't have afternoon tea, it wouldn't make much of a difference to her.
Qi Yi really didn't need to make a special trip to say these things. For example, they had been tied up with other things recently.
It could also be because she no longer liked these things.
The last time He Danqing was there, she needed to make a phone call, but someone was sleeping in the office, so she didn't want to disturb them directly.
That's why I thought I'd take this opportunity to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.
It certainly took a lot of courage for her to be alone in a room with He Danqing.
He was, after all, a very outstanding young man. Even though he was too busy dealing with the He family's affairs, he still made time to come and visit her.
Tang Jinyu thought that this was a good idea.
If I stayed in the Ho family's company all the time, I wonder how stifling it would be.
Tang Jinyu had thought that if it weren't for Qi Yi's sake, she might not have cared so much about He Danqing.
The life or death of others has never been her concern.
She doesn't usually care much, unless it reaches a certain point.
Tang Jinyu is not someone who is limited by certain conditions; she is willing to make changes.
She doesn't know to what extent things will change, but it's better than the helplessness she feels in the face of these things.
