Chapter 314: Bewilderment
can't go back to the past, Chen Shi clearly knows that he can't go back to the past.
Even if he was a born-again, he knew that it was absolutely impossible to go back to the situation in the past.
Between people, the gap in identity will create a sense of distance, even if you are brothers, but if there is a huge disparity in identity, there is an insurmountable distance, then there will be a gap between brothers.
Power, status, money, these are the things that create the distance between people, but these things are not a good thing, but these things that are not good things are indispensable things for human beings.
But why do human beings need these things? Is it desire or what? If it is desire, then these things are not originally there, Chen Shi believes that in very ancient times, there was no money and power, and people were equal to each other.
Although the current society is also preaching equality between people, there are always gaps between people, distances and hierarchies all the time.
He Chunming's words made Chen Shi have to face the reality, and he had to face the former brothers as if he were facing a courtier, perhaps, that's what they thought in their hearts, so they had a sense of distance from him, so they wouldn't talk and laugh with him like before.
Chen Shi sighed and drank a glass of stuffy wine alone, He Chunming looked at him, didn't say anything, and accompanied him to drink.
He was his earliest comrade-in-arms, his earliest partner. He knew him, he knew what he was thinking, and he knew that this was the case, that there was no way to get it back, that there was no way to go back to the way it was.
Now, even he can't talk to him like before, although he still knows everything as before on the surface, and even jokes and so on have not changed, but He Chunming has always tried his best to avoid meeting him, because he doesn't know what kind of identity to use to face him after meeting.
After drinking, the two walked out of this unknown small hotel, got into the car, and prepared to go their separate ways.
Of course Chen Shi wants to go home, of course He Chunming also wants to go home, now, the identities between the two of them are also very different, very different, He Chunming still treats Chen Shi as a friend as before, which is already rare.
He Chunming went first, and after his car disappeared, Chen Shi got out of the car, and then walked aimlessly along the road, he drank alcohol, didn't want to drive, and didn't dare to drive, and now there is no criminal punishment for drunk driving, although it is not a big deal for many people to drink a little drink and drive, but he doesn't think so.
So, he called and asked Gangzi to come and drive, and before Gangzi came, he sat on a seat at a bus stop on the street, stunned.
In this life, he has obtained everything he deserves and his dreams have come true, but why does he not feel that he is happy and successful? Why? Is it true that human desires are endless? Is it impossible for a person to attain true happiness in his life?
What happiness was? Now, he wondered.
In the past, he thought that his wife and children were happy, but now, he has endless money, there are more than a dozen thriving companies, countless industries, countless real estate, and even in Internet companies, he also has a lot of shares in companies with great growth potential.
Perhaps, he was enslaved by the money of this era, or perhaps, he was assimilated by this materialistic era, so he had no pursuit of his own, and he didn't know what happiness was.
He once heard people say that a truly happy person is not how rich he is, nor how handsome and chic he is, nor how powerful and advantageous he is, but that he is seriously invested and infatuated.
So far, Chen Shi has not been very obsessed with something, big and small, and he has to get by.
At the beginning, in order for his family to live a good life, he could work hard and work hard outside, but now, the material conditions are up to standard, and he doesn't have to worry about anything materially, he has become a person who has no pursuits, no desires, is a person like him called the walking dead? Is it that people like him don't have a sense of happiness? He doesn't know, he can't figure it out.
Suddenly, there was a light rain in the sky, dripping, people on the road quickened their pace, hurried home, the cars on the road honked non-stop, this late in the middle of the night, there were still many vehicles, I don't know if it was because the traffic was not good, or because the economic conditions were too good, people could afford to drive cars.
Gangzi called and asked where he was, and he said, "Bus stop, do you see it?"
After a while, Gangzi was pleasantly surprised: "See, you wait, I'll be here soon." ”
Gangzi was on the other side of the street, and Chen Shi saw him in less than a minute, and then the two got into the car, and Gangzi drove, and while walking, he said, "I knew that I would come with you." ”
Chen Shi said: "I'll take you everywhere another day, otherwise, I won't be able to drive after drinking a little wine." ”
Gangzi said yes, he said: "I read the news, many car accidents are because of drunk driving, drunk drivers are dangerous, not only themselves are in danger, but also let the people on the road are also in danger, it really shouldn't be, I don't know what the country thinks, if you want me to see, you should arrest the drunk driver, not fined tens of thousands of dollars, let him sit in a prison cell for ten days and half a month, let them enjoy the taste of prison food." ”
Chen Shi smiled and said: "Your idea will soon come true, there are more and more car accidents caused by drunk driving, therefore, this kind of thing is predictable, I estimate that in four or five years, drunk driving will be criminalized, and drunk driving will be a crime at that time." ”
The vehicle is driving slowly in the light rain, there is traffic in front and behind, this is the city center, the most prosperous place, therefore, the traffic will be so dense, even if it is about ten o'clock, there are so many pedestrians on the street, even if it rains a little, but people still do not hurry home to hide, should come or come, should go slowly and staggering, as if, the blue sky and light rain is not to worry.
Walking all the way through the bustling street, Chen Shi looked all the way outside, and suddenly realized that this street was different from what he imagined, to be exact, it should be different from his previous life, it seemed to be more prosperous here, it seemed, there were more buildings, it seemed that the buildings were taller, what was going on?
He couldn't figure out for a moment, could it be that he was in the wrong place, or that he remembered wrong, or maybe he was drunk and hallucinating.
However, whether it is an illusion or not, just ask Gangzi to know.
So, he pointed to the tall building he saw and asked, "Gangzi, have you seen that building?"
Gangzi smiled and said: "Don't you remember? This is a building developed by your real estate company, which was just completed last year, and it is the tallest building in Lincheng, and you also received the general manager of a real estate company. ”
As soon as Gangzi said this, Chen Shi immediately understood, it was because of him, therefore, the entire Lin Cheng had changed, he actually changed Lin Cheng, perhaps, he could change the world, at least, now he has capital and power, whether it is right or wrong, he is the richest man in the eyes of the media, a richest man wants to change the world, will it be a joke?
He may really have this power, but he is just a star-fighting small people, and he has never thought about such an earth-shattering event as changing the world, and he has never dared to think about it, isn't this kind of thing only heroes should do?
Being a hero is destined to be a tragedy, he doesn't want to be a hero, if he can, he thinks it's better to be a nobody, although he makes money, no one knows who he is, no one will be close to him because of power or money, and no one will slap him on the back because of money.
In fact, unconsciously, he has changed the development of Lincheng, because many of his companies are headquartered in Lincheng, so they have also contributed a lot of taxes, therefore, the development of Lincheng is much faster than the previous life, and the construction of the city is of course much better than the original.
It's just that a person who can change the construction of a city doesn't know what happiness is.
He thought it was a little funny, and he asked Gangzi, "Gangzi, what do you think happiness is?
Gangzi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "I'm fine, the salary you give is good, I can buy a house in a year, after my wife and children are complete, of course I will be happy after having a car and a house." ”
Gangzi's happiness is so simple, just like him before, his wife and children are hot, perhaps, happiness is contentment, is satisfaction!
In the world, among thousands of people, each is busy with their own affairs, so many people, so many thoughts, no one can be sure whose happiness is the same as others, therefore, maybe the happiness you think is completely different from what others think, but one thing is the same, maybe everyone, as long as satisfied, as long as contentment, will understand the true meaning of happiness.
Is Chen Shi satisfied? He asked himself, are he content? Is there anything dissatisfied with the present? He can't imagine that everything looks beautiful now, there are no problems, the parents at home are healthy, there are no major problems with her sisters and younger siblings, Li Yalian is fine, and even the children in her belly are healthy and healthy, the family is all well, he is not short of food and drink, and there is no shortage of money to spend, but there is still a little pimple in his heart, what is this pimple? He couldn't figure it out for a while, couldn't figure it out, so he had to worry about himself and relieve himself.
After returning home, Li Yalian had already rested, Chen Shi didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to lie down in another room, maybe because of drinking, so as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep, and then he had a dream.
