Seeing the people around him rushing around, Xu Mingjie felt as if he was caught in a vortex, constantly being swallowed up. The subway drove out of the platform with a roar, and the carriage was filled with the noise of people and the tapping of electronic devices. He stood quietly in a corner, not looking at the scenery outside the window, but immersed in his own thoughts.

"Mingjie, you look tired today." A lady in high heels said beside him, with a hint of concern in her tone.

He raised his head and smiled: "Xiao'e, I'm not very tired, I just dealt with a lot of things in one day."

Lou Xiao'e moved closer and continued, "I know you have a lot of pressure at work. But you should also take a break and don't push yourself too hard."

She patted his shoulder gently, expressing her understanding and support. Xu Mingjie felt her warmth, and his expression relaxed a little.

"I know, thank you for your concern," he said sincerely.

Lou Xiao'e looked into his eyes and said with a hint of smile: "You know what? I also think that our high-pressure work status is quite similar. We are busy every day, just like two busy ants."

After hearing this, Xu Mingjie laughed: "Indeed, sometimes I feel like an endless machine, just to make everything run smoothly."

The communication between them made Xu Mingjie feel a little relieved. He was not alone. At least Xiao'e could understand his situation. She was not only his friend, but also one of the few people in this city who could share his work pressure.

"Mingjie, you know what? I also encountered a lot of problems today." Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and continued, "My new project has encountered some challenges recently, and I feel a little overwhelmed."

Xu Mingjie looked at her with concern and listened to her patiently. She talked about the difficulties and challenges she encountered in the project and the efforts she made to cope with them. He listened attentively and nodded from time to time to show that he was listening carefully.

"Xiao'e, don't blame yourself too much. New projects will always encounter some ups and downs. The important thing is that you take it seriously and work hard to overcome every obstacle." Xu Mingjie comforted her.

She smiled gently: "Thank you, Mingjie. You are always so understanding and supportive of me."

Their conversation gradually became relaxed and pleasant, no longer just about the pressure and challenges of work, but about the little interesting things in each other's lives and common troubles. Xu Mingjie found that communicating with Xiao'e made him feel liberated, and he could temporarily put aside his work pressure and enjoy a sincere friendship.

People were coming in and out of the subway cars, and every face was part of the city's life. Xu Mingjie looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window and felt an invisible sense of relaxation and release.

In the evening, Ran Qiuye came to the secretary's office with anticipation. The streets of the town today seemed quiet and peaceful, and the faint light from the street lamps shone on her body. She walked hurriedly through the familiar streets.

The secretary's office was still spacious and bright, with files and folders neatly placed on the desk. The secretary sat behind the desk and greeted her with a smile.

"Xiaoying, you're here." The secretary stood up and warmly invited her into the office.

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded: "Secretary, last night you said you would provide some possible clues, let me take a look."

The secretary nodded and pointed to a document on the table: "These are the information my friends provided last night. They think they may be related to your father's case. I asked my assistant to sort it out, I hope it can be helpful to you."

Ran Qiuye took the document and carefully flipped through each page. The document recorded some witness testimonies and possible clues. Although it was not direct evidence, it at least gave her some new ideas and directions.

"Secretary, this information is very helpful to me, thank you." She expressed her gratitude sincerely.

The secretary waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiaoying, this is what I should do. You know, I have always kept your father's case in my heart, and I hope to clear his name as soon as possible."

They continued to discuss the details of the case and the next plan. The secretary suggested that she study these new clues with the lawyer to see if they could provide new evidence for the case. Ran Qiuye followed his advice and decided to contact the lawyer as soon as possible to discuss the next steps.

"Secretary, I will continue to work hard," she said solemnly.

The secretary looked deeply into her eyes and said firmly, "Xiaoying, you are a strong girl. Your father will be proud of you."

Their conversation was full of hope and confidence, and Ran Qiuye felt that the pressure in her heart seemed to be relieved a little. The support and encouragement from the secretary gave her the strength to move forward. She knew that no matter how great the difficulties were, she would not give up her efforts to seek justice for her father.

As the night deepened, Xu Mingjie walked out of the subway station and strolled on his way home. He approached the river bank and saw a faint light flickering on the water. The night breeze gently brushed his face, bringing a hint of coolness.

In such a life, Xu Mingjie does not seem to desire any special changes. He has a warm family. Although his parents are old, they still care about him and call him from time to time. He has a group of colleagues. Although they are not very familiar with each other, they get along well. In terms of feelings, Xu Mingjie seems to be lacking. He once had a short relationship, but because of the trivialities of life, they gradually drifted apart and eventually ended in failure.

However, fate is often full of unpredictable changes. On an ordinary afternoon, when Xu Mingjie was alone in the company's small data room looking through documents, a lady's voice suddenly broke his calm.

"Sorry to bother you, I'm a new intern. I heard that there is some information here that can help me get started quickly." A crisp and slightly shy voice came.

Xu Mingjie looked up and saw a young girl standing at the door, her eyes revealing a desire to learn. She was wearing a simple white shirt and a slim black skirt, with long hair draped over her shoulders. Her slight smile made her look particularly charming.

"Oh, these materials should be in this cabinet." Xu Mingjie replied, a little surprised, because this kind of small information room is rarely visited, and what is even more rare is that such an elegant girl would appear.

The girl nodded, walked to the cabinet, and began to look for the documents she needed. As she focused on her movements, Xu Mingjie couldn't help but take a few more glances. He found that her movements were smooth and skillful, and she didn't look like an intern with no experience at all.
