“Lawyer Song, do you know what your biggest problem is?”
“What?”
“You push yourself too hard.”
“Then, Lawyer Fu, do you know what your biggest problem is?”
“What?”
“Your starting point is the finish line I have to give everything I’ve got to reach.” That was the first time they truly saw each other.
Later, the whole firm was abuzz:
Fu Siheng brought Song Qingyuan breakfast.
Fu Siheng stepped in to stop Song Qingyuan from being pressured to drink.
Fu Siheng slammed his hand on the table in a meeting to stand up for Song Qingyuan.
Someone sneered, “Song Qingyuan only got where she is thanks to Fu Siheng.”
When Fu Siheng heard that, he said only one thing:
“I’m the one who owes everything to her. Without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Later still, someone asked what exactly they were to each other.
Song Qingyuan said, “Arch-enemies.”
Fu Siheng said, “I admit defeat.”
A note from Wen Xing: The leads come from very different backgrounds, and there are some angsty parts, so read at your own discretion.
