Not all landlords are heartless.
After Fang Qing expressed her intentions to resign and leave Capital City, even though she hadn't reached the stipulated time in the contract, the landlady proactively refunded the deposit.
Being a native of Capital City and not short of money, she quite admired Fang Qing as a person.
This landlady had even joked that if her son wasn't just in high school, she would have really liked to have Fang Qing as her daughter-in-law.
No matter where her future development took her, at least for now, Fang Qing didn't want to stay in Capital City. Therefore, she invited her colleagues from the law firm for a farewell dinner before she left.
Though the ending might not be perfect, Tianhe Law Firm was her first stop after leaving campus, helping her through the transition from academia to society, and it played an enlightening role in her career.
During this not-so-long phase of life, her colleagues at the law firm had given her plenty of help.
