Chapter 20: Dreams and Reality

There is a reason for Xu Xincheng's hesitation just now, he has never been a person who is good at dating girls, and this time, it is the first time in two and a half years that he has had a coffee appointment with a girl.

--\\\

In junior high school and high school, when his classmates made friends and fell in love one after another, he told himself that no matter what, he should not be distracted and not spend his precious time, energy, and mind outside of studying.

Xu Xincheng, who has excellent grades and is handsome, is the object of admiration of many girls in the class and school, and from time to time girls will hand him notes or text messages, wanting to ask him to chat, but he has always refused one by one.

In order to better cope with the pressure, in order to catch up with the best classmates faster, he still spent all his time, energy and mind on learning and self-improvement, and never thought about finding a girlfriend.

It wasn't until the beginning of his sophomore year that he felt that he had basically adapted to it and had basically caught up, but he was not in a hurry, he was not deliberate, thinking that everything should be left to chance.

On the third Saturday after the start of his sophomore year, in the early morning, he met a female classmate by the stream on campus, the fog was so heavy that he couldn't even see the road clearly......

This is how the two met and met.

After a period of dating, the two found that they fell in love with each other, gradually fell in love, and finally came together.

Girlfriend's name is Bai Xiuli, as her name suggests, excellent and beautiful, she is a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu, and she can be said to be as beautiful as the water and moon in Suzhou, and the scenery is beautiful and refined.

Classmates like to compare her to the White Lady, who is as beautiful as a fairy, in addition to her surname Bai, more importantly, she looks a little more beautiful than Zhao Yazhi's version of the White Lady. And Xu Xincheng happens to be surnamed Xu, and his classmates like to compare him to Xu Xian, and he is also a tall, straight, handsome and handsome version of Xu Xian.

All the classmates enviously called them Xu Xian and the White Lady, a match made in heaven.

It's a pity that like Xu Xian White Lady, their love has also been hindered and destroyed, and it eventually became a tragedy.

At the end of the winter vacation of her junior year, the day before the start of school, Bai Xiuli's mother sent her to school and asked him to lunch again.

Before Xu Xincheng could sit down, she said that she did not agree with him and her daughter to continue their relationship, and said a lot of ugly things......

On that day, at that very moment, the two broke up.

---------

This is his first love, and this breakup made his heart twist like a knife, painful, and suddenly fell into the lowest point of his life.

Although it was painful, Xu Xincheng had to admit that her mother was right, although she could not talk about material things in college, but once she entered society, once she entered the cruel and realistic world, material is the most important foundation.

He is just a poor student, a poor young man in a small town, with no car, no house, no connections and no resources, and he does not have enough financial ability to build a comfortable and solid environment for her.

And she is so good, so beautiful, with her conditions, she can easily have better choices, can have a better belonging, she can and should live a better life.

As long as she is doing well and having fun, then he will be happy for her.

As for himself, instead of being painful and sad, instead of complaining and frustrated, it is better to face his current situation, face the cruel reality, and face the challenges given to him by the real world.

Xu Xincheng, who knew since he was a child that only hard work was the only way out, strengthened his belief after experiencing this.

Now that I think about it, before the summer vacation of his junior year, he went so hard to apply for a job in the AI division of Hongfei Company, which has a lot to do with that painful experience and the belief that has been strengthened.

In the past two years of work, life is two points and one line for him, he goes all out at work, often works overtime until late at night, and spends all his spare time studying to recharge his batteries to make up for his lack of professionalism and ability.

He knows that if he wants to achieve something in his work and improve his abilities, he must focus and devote all his time, energy and mind to work and self-improvement.

His idea and plan is to work hard for two or three years or even four or five years, and then consider talking about his girlfriend after he has achieved a certain amount of success in his career and is relatively stable.

Therefore, since breaking up with Bai Xiuli, there is only study and work in his world, and he requires himself to be different every day, to improve every day, and to improve every day.

He demands that he make a little bit of progress every day, and that he is a little better than he was yesterday every day.

The message ringing on his mobile phone rang, and it was a text message from the phone number just now, and the address on it surprised him, which was the New Century Building, a new landmark in Guangzhou that was completed only three years ago.

It is reported to be the most upscale office building in Guangzhou, GD Province and even the whole of South China, and the specific meeting place is the Red Rose Cafe on the 68th floor of the building.

He immediately replied with a text message: "Okay. See you tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

---------

Xu Xincheng felt that his mental state was much better all of a sudden, and it was really a bit like he had been activated from the standby state.

He ordered himself to put his mind into his work, after all, the company has now added a lot of new affairs, since he was promoted to assistant, General Manager Li has also given him a lot of new work, and now there are several things at hand that he needs to deal with and complete as soon as possible.

For him, it's a new beginning, and while a new beginning is wonderful, it also means a lot of new challenges, a lot of new challenges that he has to overcome.

He knows very well that for him, only work is the most important thing now, and other things, no matter how beautiful they are, are just beautiful piano pieces one after another, and they are just beautiful dreams one after another.

While listening to the piano music, he allowed himself to immerse himself briefly in the dream, but he knew that he had to wake up from those beautiful dreams, because no matter how beautiful the dream was, it was just a dream, not reality, and he lived in the real world, in a real world full of fierce competition.

In this real world, only the real strong, only the real winners, can make the beautiful dream come true.

The reason why he allows himself to enter the beautiful dream from time to time is not to blindly immerse himself in it, but to draw strength from it, so that when he wakes up from the sweet dream, he can use that power to create a beautiful little world of his own for himself in this real world.

Xu Xincheng turned the office chair again, so that his body was facing the computer, he shook his head slightly, straightened his waist, adjusted his sitting posture, took a deep breath, concentrated for a while, put his hands on the computer keyboard, pressed the enter key, and woke up the computer from the standby state.
