Chapter 7 Past, Present and Future

A week later, I got a job as a printer and was a little bored in front of the computer every day. The boss of the company has stipulated that you can play games when you are not particularly busy, but do not disturb other colleagues who are working. With this, I thought of the young people who used to go to the Internet café and shout while playing games, without paying any attention to the other people in the Internet café. In fact, all of us in public places, we should still pay attention to our words and deeds, today is the Internet era, a careless, your "glorious deeds" will be photographed on the Internet, some disgusting media people are a little embellished, to ensure that you will be on the hot search overnight, the masses who do not know the truth can scold your ancestors. Unless, of course, you're really doing it for that purpose......

The winter passed quietly, and the only thing that could paralyze people's nerves was where another earthquake struck and how many people had died so far.

These are not the focus of my attention, the most important thing for me is that Xiaojing is going back to his hometown, and it is possible that he will not come back for a long time. That is, it will be difficult for us to meet in the future. This incident has troubled me for a long time, I have wanted to go to Xiangcheng, but my parents are getting older, and I am not willing to let go of them, even though they don't need me to do anything now, and I only hope to spend more time with them in my lifetime.

Before getting on the train, Yan Jijing and I were on the platform, and it seemed that we had endless words, but we couldn't say anything. We both know what each other is thinking, but we can't express it in words, and the biggest pain in life is "life and death".

Seeing Xiaojing get on the train, the carriage moved slowly, her heart ached, she sat on the chair and looked at me with her hands on the glass, I held back my sadness, smiled and waved to her. The train faded away until it disappeared into the gray fog, and I stood still watching the direction it departed......

That strange thing happened again, this time when I received an envelope in my mailbox, presumably telling me to go to an address where there was something I should know. The sender's name was not entered, and I wondered how the letter, or something that wasn't called, was sent. I tossed the letter in the trash and ignored it. What kind of advertisement should it be, or some deceptive company...... The reason why I am so sure is because I have received similar ones before, so I will ignore them.

At present, my company is facing layoffs, and every employee is desperately trying to show himself in front of his boss, vowing not to want to be laid off. But those who work harder are laid off, and our boss has a very special personality, and he doesn't like the kind of people who are flattering. Sometimes it is overdone, which will have the opposite effect, and the horse should be shot in the right place. I'm glad that my name wasn't on the list of layoffs, and I'm one of those people who rarely communicates with their leaders and doesn't get into trouble. If it was in another company, it is estimated that it would have been laid off.

Although Yan Jijing has returned to Xiangcheng, our relationship has not decreased, but has deepened. Sometimes it seems that there is no end to the conversation, and no one wants to say "goodbye" first. In fact, a long-distance relationship is the hardest, two people can't see each other for a long time, and there are many things that can only be said on the phone, and we can only figure out each other's thoughts through the tone of the phone. Although her relationship with me is getting better and better, our understanding of each other has greatly decreased, and we were all too naïve and naïve at that time, how do we know what will happen in the future......

Because of Wenwen's refusal, Xiao Wu also seemed very depressed, and when he went to his house several times, he saw him drinking alone, maybe this was the first time he was rejected by others! Xiao Wu is a person who can't walk and wants to run first, he doesn't understand the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and he is always eager for quick success, but he doesn't look back to see where he stands. I'll admit that a lot of things start with imagination, and someone once said that "powerful imagination comes from reality." But it never occurred to him whether he could do what he imagined. After my repeated persuasion, Xiao Wu finally came out of the shadow of Wenwen's refusal, he also found a girlfriend, we were not too surprised, on the contrary, we were very supportive, after all, there are still many things to pursue in life, don't dwell on the failure in front of you, and miss what you shouldn't miss.

Not long after, I heard that Wenwen went abroad to study English, and she would come back in about two years, I don't know if Xiao Wu's confession scared her, and she only told Yan Jijing about it. Wenwen is a formless person, she only told Yan Jijing alone when she went abroad, she hated the feeling of a large group of people hugging each other.

The camera switches to me at this time. That evening, I left an important document at the company and called a colleague to borrow the company key. It was pitch black in the office, but I could still see through the moonlight. Because the switch to turn on the light was in the innermost storage room, and I didn't bother to turn it on, so I took a flashlight to illuminate it. After obtaining the materials, I heard a voice in the boss's house, so I picked up a decoration and touched it slowly. I thought it was a thief, but I guessed wrong, and through the gap in the glass next to it, I saw a scene that I shouldn't have seen...... The boss and one of the female employees of the company made love in the room in disheveled clothes, and I quickly calmed down in surprise, put down the decorations, and tiptoed out. Knowing about this incident made me panic a little, quoting a sentence from the famous historical writer Cao Sheng: If you don't have enough wrist strength, you can't grasp the handle of others......

The next morning, when I arrived at the company, I was called to the office by my boss before I could sit down with my ass. The boss was sitting leisurely behind the desk with tea and I stood across the table with my head down. After a long time, he put down the teacup and said with a little unhappiness: "Xiao Fan, how long have you been working in our company......?" About three months!" I replied in a calm tone. The boss stood up, walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "What do you think of me for you?" I thought for a while and said, "You are a good person, and it is my honor to work under you." ”

I'm really not a sycophant, and I despise myself for being able to say such things. The boss walked back to the table, took out a bulging envelope from the drawer, placed it on the table, and said, "You didn't answer my question, but it's okay, none of this matters." This is your salary, and your bonus, I am a little careful, I hope you can find a better job in the future, so be it!"

This couldn't be simpler, people don't want to hire me, I can guess the reason, whoever is bumped into him cheating will be very disgusted, let alone his own employees! I stabilized my mind and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Xu, if you have any trouble with me, you can just say it." I've been working here for a while, and I believe you should know something about who I am, and I ...... before I could finish speaking, the boss waved his hand and interrupted me and said, "Okay! Don't talk about it, I believe in your character, but I see that you will be very awkward, do you understand? "It's strange why I didn't want to be fired at that time?

I picked up the bag of envelopes from the table, which had long been tainted by the copper stench of the banknotes, pulled out the same amount of money as my salary, put it in my pocket, and then threw the rest of the stack of cash back on the table. This voice doesn't sound loud, but I believe it is a resounding slap in the face in Mr. Xu's heart. I didn't look back at the boss's expression, and I could tell with my toes that his expression would not look good. I think my decision is right, at least I have a clear conscience about myself, the benefits of the leader are not so easy to get, not to mention that before getting the benefits, think clearly why that person wants to give you!

In this way, I lost my job again, took my belongings and said goodbye to my colleagues one by one. I looked around at the female employee, and there was no figure I saw last night, because the light was relatively dim at that time, so I didn't see much who the woman was, but I only remembered the back of her wearing my company's work clothes. Either way, it's not my focus, who is cheating with whom, or whether or not I have a family affair, it doesn't matter to me.

Later, I learned from my colleague that our boss had installed hidden cameras in every corner of the office area in order to prevent employees from being lazy. Since I was relatively light in the office that night, my boss didn't notice my presence until he happened to check the footage the next morning. But that's fine, I can be relieved, I'm not a liar person, and it's a bit difficult to keep such a secret, and sooner or later it will be revealed.

After I was dismissed, I did nothing all day, and finally resolutely packed my bags and stepped on the train to Xiangcheng. This time, I sat by the window on the left, and I still have palpitations when I think back to the last experience.

In this carriage, all kinds of people are busy with their own things, some are dozing, some are playing cards, and some are eating instant noodles...... There was the sound of a trolley in the distance, and an aunt wearing a flower hat came pushing the food cart, selling as she walked, like singing a mountain song, and every word rhymed with each other, which seemed particularly "joyful".

I stopped the food truck and bought a burger, which cost thirty-five, yes! Thirty-five! Of course, most people are used to this model, and before getting on the bus or visiting the garden, have plenty of food, water, and things to use to avoid paying a high price for some low-priced products.

There are various markups in various countries, but here we will "stand out" a little. Merchants take advantage of the high price terrain to drive up prices, resulting in five, ten, or even more times higher prices than the original goods. For example, a bottle of purified water worth one yuan can be sold for at least five yuan in an amusement park. Of course, this can't be blamed entirely on the merchants, the venue fees in some special locations are also quite high, so it leads to the rise of prices, and the "victims" are always civilians at the bottom of the pyramid.

The "burger" I bought, or two slices of bread, with a very thin and tiny beef slice sandwiched in between, and a lot of vegetables, it was not as big as the palm of my hand, and most importantly - the taste was really unbearable. The beef does not smell like beef, and the vegetables are full of sand. Is it only what I eat?

This reunion was not particularly smooth, the first day to Xiangcheng, just got off the train and received a call from Yan Jijing, saying that there was an urgent matter that could not come, I was helpless to find a hotel to stay, and stayed in the room until the night.

Xiangcheng is not too big a city, only the central area is more prosperous, and the edge of the city is still dominated by ordinary people. The security in the marginal areas is also relatively poor, and when you open the windows at night, you can hear a lot of noisy beatings and scolding, mixed with the sound of flying cars, and so on...... Key-values are messed up. Of course, every country or city has some blind spots in governance, some of which are dereliction of duty by government officials, and some are real "three regardless" areas. Most of the domestic cities are like this, the prosperous areas have good public security and excellent environment, but some marginal areas are not cared for, stubborn problems can never be solved, various departments are pushing around as if playing table tennis, resulting in more and more problems, and finally the underworld forces burst out, and the behavior is gradually rampant, resulting in wars...... Of course, none of this has happened......

Dereliction of duty is everywhere, and we are in the middle of the garbage heap, but there is nothing we can do about it. "They" are sitting in the office, blowing the air conditioner, drinking coffee, sipping fine wine, and holding the mistress. I am not criticizing, I am not criticizing, I am not criticizing! What I am talking about is the truth. You may say that people need to sit in the greenhouse because of different types of work, but some people have not made the right decisions in a certain position at all, but instead satisfy their relatives and friends for their own selfish interests...... However, in the end, I still have to defend myself, although there are many bad, there are still good, I am just very worried, will the white paper in the big dye vat come out of the mud and not stained?

In the evening, when I arrived at the place agreed with Yan Jijing, I lit a cigarette. Seeing her coming slowly from a distance, I was inexplicably a little excited, but I noticed that her expression seemed to be a little strange, as if she was thinking about something. She sat next to me, and before I could speak, she first spoke: "Why do you say that they are like this! I used to have a good relationship like a person, but now I can change because of a little thing!" Then I sneered and said: "Sometimes people are not as good as a dog!" I was a little embarrassed to hold a cigarette, and just wanted to ask what was wrong, she suddenly turned her face, took out the half of the cigarette in my mouth and pulled it hard, and still crushed it on the ground: "Didn't I say it, smoke less in the future." "I didn't expect that the first meeting a few months later would start with such a scene.

After a while, Yan Jijing sighed, and his tone calmed down a lot: "I have a classmate who is very good in junior high school, and we are together every time we get out of class, eating, chatting, going to the toilet, etc...... But after graduating from junior high school, they went their separate ways. I met her again a few days ago, but I felt that she had changed a lot, her hair was dyed blonde, and her ears were pierced a lot, and it seemed that her whole person had also changed and she became very restless. Just because of a trivial matter, I actually got into a big fight with my former classmates......" I asked with a dark face and a little inappropriate joke: "How good is the relationship? Male and female?" She looked at me differently: "Go to the toilet together! You say it's a man and a woman?" I put away my smile and was a little dazed. This joke is really out of place, and I don't know what I thought at the time. I changed the subject awkwardly: "Why did you do it?" "Because of a joke!" Yan Jijing looked up at the sky, his eyes full of disappointment and helplessness.

People grow up slowly in some things, and when you can see one thing clearly, it means that you are really mature. Experience is an unreasonable teacher because he examines first and then lectures.

This should be the so-called, a dispute caused by the issuance of a card. When Xiaojing was in junior high school, he had a very good classmate named Luo Xin, and the two of them had a good personal relationship, which can be said to be so good that they were inseparable from each other, eating lunch together, doing homework together, and watching male classmates play basketball together at noon......

As a football fan, I have to say a few digressions. I still remember when I was in middle school, the school often organized basketball games, and there was a strange phenomenon in the class, students who played well in basketball and did not study well would always be favored by their classmates. I am not jealous, but worried about the development of physical education. The huge playground has three basketball courts, but it is not possible to use the distance of these basketball hoops to pave a small and simple football field. We've paid for books for an inexplicable time, and we don't know where those fees go...... When I was in school, there was no football education and knowledge in the school (although it has improved so far), and we should focus more on cultivating our own weaknesses and allowing more children to love the sport, rather than just submitting a report to their superiors. And now the problem is that many people can't understand and don't want to understand, and no one even seriously thinks about it, where is the root of all this. As he spoke, he went off track......

To get back to the point, Luo Xin is a more outgoing girl, with a cheerful personality and a talkative personality, which is very popular with the boys in the class, while Yan Jijing on the side talks a lot less, and she prefers to be in the girls' group than chatting with boys. Luo Xin will skillfully maneuver between boys and girls, and because of this, she also plays the role of the "matchmaker" in the class. Some female classmates like a boy in the class and don't dare to open their mouths because of their affection, Luo Xin will "be a matchmaker" from it, or male and female classmates will send a gift to each other, and she will send it to each other. Of course, there are small profits to be gained, such as an ice cream, a lunch, or a pen. Therefore, the friends you make when you go to school are the purest ones. After Luo Xin gets these "rewards", he will share them with Xiaojing as soon as possible, half of the snacks for one person, and two people use erasers and pens together......

I have to admit that the friendship between classmates is unforgettable, because everyone was very naïve at that time and would not consider some exchanges of monetary interests. I like you, I play with you, I don't like you, I ignore you. I once saw a sentence in the book "The Bloody Career", "There are four kinds of relationships between people that are the most ironclad: they have been through the window together, they have carried guns together, they have been dirty together, and they have prostituted together." But with the passage of time, when the former classmates grow up and have their own careers and families, and when they get together again, they will completely become all kinds of "contests to show off their wealth"! You climb and fight, each mercilessly, and at the end of every sentence will bring a "price", and some students who have a worrying future and have no development will never appear at the class reunion, and the relationship between classmates will become weaker and more snobbish. Everything in the world is a circle, and when you are in the midst of a brilliant career, you have never realized that you are actually standing at the original starting point. People live in this life, don't be too complacent, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, it is not easy for us to live, so there is no need to point fingers at other people's lives.

Luo Xin is a very righteous girl, if someone bullies Xiaojing, she will do her best to help her out, plus Luo Xin has a very good relationship with other people, everyone will give her face, and over time, other classmates will not provoke Xiaojing.

After graduating from junior high school, Luo Xin did not go to high school, but chose to study at a technical school in another place, so they separated. Xiaojing went to high school, but dropped out of school a year later to work, and it wasn't until someone organized a class reunion a few days ago that they saw each other again, Luo Xin's personality is still extroverted, but in some extroverted conversations, there are a few more foul words, which makes Xiaojing a little disgusted. It's not that girls can't swear, but it's not good to swear in front of a group of people. Xiaojing can feel from her behavior that studying in a technical school is a turning point in her life.

During the dinner, a female classmate made a joke about Luo Xin's hairpin in middle school, but she didn't expect her to stand up angrily and swear and point fingers at the classmates who made her jokes. The other classmates were also a little caught off guard and went up to persuade them to fight, but Luo Xin was still unwilling to scold, and the quarrel became more and more intense, which finally led to a conflict. Luo Xin picked up an empty plate and threw it at the girl, the female classmate couldn't dodge, and was hit on the head by the plate, and the blood continued to flow and collapsed to the ground.

The girl was rushed to the hospital by everyone, but fortunately there was no major problem, there was a slight concussion. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Xiao Jing stood behind the crowd and didn't dare to make a sound, Luo Xin, whom she knew, was not such a person before. Luo Xin stepped forward and wanted to hold Xiaojing, but she avoided it, she didn't know why this former good friend became the current state, it was completely like a gangster's behavior. Of course, these are all told by Xiaojing and me. There is a saying: The country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change, in Luo Xin, this sentence has to be said in another form entirely.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand when you think about it, studying in a technical school in a small city is easy to be taken to another road, of course, I don't generalize, but compared to normal high school, technical school is a relatively easy place to learn badly. The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise, and the famous high schools are not necessarily all good students......

Like our 90s, this generation is considered to be the most rebellious generation, pampered and grown-up, has its own opinions, and does not think about the consequences. When I was studying, I was disobedient, but as I grew older, I gradually matured a lot, instead of blindly doing stupid things.

The next night, I caught the last train back to Shandu. Actually, I am already very satisfied to see Yan Jijing, even if it is a very short time together, I will cherish it extra.

When I got home, I didn't take off my clothes and went to sleep. The hotel in Xiangcheng is not particularly comfortable, and I am a very clean person, once I change the environment, I have to be familiar with it for a long time to get used to it. The night I stayed in Xiangcheng, I basically didn't sleep much. First, because of the excitement of seeing a long-lost lover, and the second reason is that the sound insulation of the hotel is so poor, the next door has been arguing, and the sound seems to be a couple, and the two of them have been arguing until dawn. All night, I rolled over, rolled over and rolled over. I don't sleep very well, and if I get disturbed a little, I wake up right away.

At noon the next day, I slowly got up from bed and had a simple breakfast...... Oh no! It's lunch and I'm out the door. I've been idle at home for a long time, and I'm planning to find a job. I went to the courier company that I had refused again, and found that it was still hiring, and although I didn't want to do the job, I ended up taking the car and work clothes.

In the months since Yan Jijing left, we occasionally talked on the phone, texted or chatted online, and she was so busy with her work that I couldn't even be available when I wanted to meet her. And her personality seems to have become more impatient, I don't know why. I tried to get to the bottom of it, but her words became tougher, and an argument ensued. At that time, I was very angry, thinking that she deliberately did not see me, but after calming down, I felt that I was indeed excessive, and when I called Yan Jijing's mobile phone again, I found that she had turned off her phone.

I've had a hard time this week, Yan Jijing's mobile phone has never been answered, I don't know if she doesn't want to answer or if she's really busy. Quarrels between couples are certain, and some quarrels will enhance the relationship between each other and make communication between the two parties more unhindered. But after the quarrel between me and her, the distance seemed to be even farther away, and I couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart, thousands of miles away. She often says that "little is better than a new marriage", but some of them may never be reunited......

This hot summer has made many people unbearable heat, and everyone writes about their anxiety. That night, dragging my tired body, I came home after a day's work. As soon as I entered the door of the building, I saw two strange men coming out of the building, chatting about something as they walked. Seeing my presence, they quickly stopped talking and quickened their pace, and as they passed by, I tried to remember if I had seen these two men, for I was pretty sure they were talking about me.

I came home strangely, and saw my parents sitting on the chair in a daze, as if my arrival did not disturb their hearts, I asked a little puzzled: "When I went upstairs just now, I saw two very strange men, as if they were talking about our family, who are they?

Although he has just reached middle age, the wrinkles on his face and the calluses on his hands can show that this is a "worker" who can never be idle. A hint of white hair on the edge of the bun adds a bit of age. Maybe I haven't watched my parents carefully before, but I just want to give them a hug. But I didn't do it, and sometimes, I was too ashamed to express my emotions and missed a lot of ......

My mom didn't answer, looked at me, smiled and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"After eating, who are those two people just now?" I asked anxiously.

"Yes...... I came to fix the water pipe, and our bathroom leaked today...... It's been a day at work, let's go and rest!" she replied abruptly. I know it's not true, but I can only listen to it as the truth, I know my mother's character, and if I ask her again at this time, she will definitely cry. I tried to believe what she said, maybe it was actually the water pipes......

There are some things that the more you want to know, the more you can't figure it out, and people are curious. Not only people, but also animals are sometimes very curious, and as the saying goes, it is because of curiosity that cats are killed.

On weekends off, I woke up late, and as soon as I got out of bed, I heard my mom crying in my room, and I followed the sound to the door and eavesdropped, although I knew it wasn't good, but I heard it seemed to be talking about me inside, so I listened......

"Sooner or later he will know......" his father's voice was clearly audible.

"Then tell him now, how he can bear it......" said the mother as she cried.

"Sooner or later, he's a man, and we can't hide it from him for the rest of our lives!" my father's deep voice echoed around every corner of the room and finally reached my ears outside the door. I quietly returned to my room, feeling uneasy, I was sure that something big was going to happen, and that it was not a small relationship with me. Although you hear their conversation, you don't know what to do, and some secrets may be more painful when you know them......

A month has passed, and Yan Jijing and I are both busy with our own work, occasionally calling and texting to chat. I've been afraid to bring up wanting to meet her, and since the last unpleasant time, this has become a flashpoint between us, and I want to maintain our relationship with each other. However, the more you worry about things, the less likely they will happen, on the contrary, some small things will catch people off guard......

At first, it was because Yan Jijing's best friend was pregnant, and her boyfriend also ran away. Now, in addition to the belly that is getting bigger and bigger day by day, it is crying one or two basins of tears. In addition to helping others get the cost of abortion surgery, Yan Jijing also borrowed foreign debts to rent a separate apartment for her. I admit that it is a virtue for a friend to lend a helping hand when he is in difficulty, but the practice of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall is a bit too stupid! If it is within my ability, I should indeed help, but it is beyond my ability, and I still want to slap a swollen face and become fat, I think it is somewhat not worth it.

Yan Jijing is a girl who wants a lot of face, she thinks that if someone asks her, it means that that person can think of you in times of crisis, and she would rather give up everything to help. Even if you borrow money, you won't tell others, and you're alone in your heart. When I found out about this, I was a little surprised, my first impression was that she was a good girl, but when I thought about it, I thought she was stupid. And according to her description, her relationship with the girl was very ordinary.

Because of this incident, we have a difference of opinion, and my idea is very simple, don't force yourself to satisfy the vanity of face, and help according to your ability. And she rebuked me from another angle, thinking that I had no compassion and that my friends would not lend a helping hand when they were in trouble.

Disagreement seems to be the most intractable problem in human history, from the fragmentation of nations to family wars, and unless there is only one person left on the planet, there will always be quarrels and disagreements.

There was no contact for more than a week, and she didn't answer her phone and didn't reply to text messages. I don't know when it began, I feel that the relationship between us has become weak, and there is not much left of the tacit understanding and dependence of the past, and all that remains is disputes and distrust. Maybe I'm too naïve, maybe we're both too young. I don't know if it's my delusion, but since she returned to her hometown, her personality has changed and she can be pessimistic at times. Many times I tried to regulate her mood, but it all failed. Of course, it could also be that my perspective on people has changed......

During this time, the company's freight volume has increased greatly, which has also added a lot of burden to us couriers...... My eyes stopped at a strange package, although this mail is not too big, but there is no name and phone number, only one address, how the hell is such a mail sent?

The next day, I came to the office early, ready to deliver yesterday's package, the one without the phone number and name. I followed the map and rode to an old residential area. The exterior of the building has been largely peeled off, the windows are in tatters, and the sensor lights in the building seem to be not lit, which adds to the gloomy and eerie appearance.

I locked the car and went up to the top floor, and when I came to the door with the address on the mail, the door opened automatically before I could knock. An old man poked his head out and looked around, and I looked at the old man's face carefully, feeling déjà vu, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. At the moment when I was still hesitating, this old man quickly took the mail in my hand, signed it as quickly as possible, and tore off the courier slip and handed it to me. I noticed that the old man's hands were covered with calluses, and I couldn't tell what year and what had grown them. With the heavy sound of the door closing, the hallway fell into dead silence again......

It was almost nine o'clock when I got home in the evening, so I simply ate something and lay down on the bed, thinking about all the "strange things" that had happened recently. From the harassing phone calls I received at the beginning, to the inexplicable guest visit the other day, to the strange delivery, my parents seemed to be talking about something...... Maybe I'm too sensitive for anything to happen, it's just a "ghost" in my heart that is haunting me, and hopefully it's all just my hallucination......

It's not been a good week, and although the relationship between me and Yan Jijing has eased somewhat, there are still some discordant factors when chatting. In fact, I am already very satisfied with this, from the beginning of each other, to now I just hope that it is better not to quarrel......

A certain leader of the company was about to celebrate his birthday, wanted to hold a birthday party in a week, and invited everyone in the company to celebrate, of course, he also invited me, but I was pushed off because I did not like this kind of monetary "exchange", which is commonly known as "courtesy exchange" in Chinese. How many servants are because of "courtesy"...... Oh no! "money" to be exact, and deposed. Attend weddings, funerals or other events with your part, and if you don't, you will be perceived as undesirable and even despised by some people. How many friends are under the banner of "iron buddies", but they are still linked to money. Suiqian has occupied the mainstream position of Chinese society, from the ancient Sui Li, to the present Suiqian, this invisible rule has been deeply rooted. In fact, it doesn't matter what you send, what matters is your heart, and there are always people who put a price before the "blessing". Money has pushed the relationship between people away, because disputes over gift money also abound, but in the big dye vat, who dares not follow this law?

You can't do things in a hurry. Because I have been on leave more frequently these days, I have been trying to figure out who came to my house, what secrets are hidden, and I did not participate in the previous leader's birthday party, the superior finally couldn't stand it and decided to fire me.

I lost my job again, which of course gave me more time to investigate. I learned from the owner of the restaurant outside the neighborhood that he saw two people walking out of the neighborhood that night, they got into a car on the side of the street and left, according to the owner's description, it should be the same two people I met. The boss said: "The license plate number is very easy to remember, the front one is not very clear, but the back number is '2001'." "This small clue is enough to make me feel uplifted, proving that the efforts of the past few days have not been in vain, the next thing is to find a way to know who the owner of this license plate number is, and this is also the key point, the general vehicle information is strictly confidential, and it is not easy to find it.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are lucky. "Some people work hard all their lives until they die, and some people work hard all their lives and are still nobodies after death. Most of the success in life comes from opportunities, and of course, your own efforts will also make things develop in a good direction. For me, a small decision can affect my destiny.

I have never told Yan Jijing about these strange things that happened to me, and I always had this concern in my mind: If I told her, would she think I was strange? She thought I was too sensitive and that imagination didn't represent reality. But I like to think boldly and be careful to verify. If you don't even dare to think about it, you might as well give up......

It's hard for me to talk to Yan Jijing about what I think, and she will definitely find me even more unreasonable. Although she didn't support me to continue the investigation, she finally reminded me to stay safe. Sometimes I feel that I am not worthy of her, her ideas are very mature, and she can always choose the path very rationally, and I belong to the kind of person who "will not give up if you don't investigate clearly". I'm glad I met her in the middle of nowhere, whether or not we'll be together......

Sitting on the train home, my heart was anxious. It seems that my investigative route has reached a dead end, maybe I should take a different route?

A girl sitting next to me accidentally dropped the photo box on the floor, and the photos were scattered all over the hallway, I squatted down to help her pick up a few scattered photos that fell at my feet, sorted them out and returned them to her, and the girl smiled to show her gratitude.

I suddenly found a photo in her hand, and immediately grabbed it like a hungry lion and took a closer look. I didn't pay attention to her surprised face or the stares of the passengers around her. I aggressively asked, "Where did you take this picture?" She was surprised and a little angry: "Give me back the picture!" Then I realized how unreasonable I was just now, I returned the photo to her, and apologized: "I'm sorry! I just want to ask, where was that picture taken?" The girl sighed a little and replied, "At the Leisure Resort".

The reason why I cared so much about that photo was because in the distant view of the photo was a black sedan that was the same as the one described by the boss, and at that moment, I was fascinated to believe that the photo was the same car as the one that night.

The appearance of the photo re-aroused my fighting spirit, I thought I was in a dead end, but I didn't expect to get a clue unexpectedly, sometimes opportunities can really change people's fate...... When I got off the train and got home, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Thinking back to meeting Yan Jijing this time, I spent it unconsciously, I feel that time flies, and the relationship between the two of us seems to be getting weaker and weaker, and this situation has been going on for several months......

The next day, I packed my clothes early, put on my backpack and said goodbye to my parents, and then boarded the bus to the outskirts of the city and rushed to the address where the photo was taken. In fact, at this moment, I am still nervous in my heart, I don't know if there will be a result this time, maybe it will be in vain?

The bus swayed and stopped on the side of the road, and through the window I saw a large manor opposite, and the sign outside the door reads "Lixian Villa". This resort looks very ordinary on the outside, but its palatial décor will leave you smacking when you step into the depths. The so-called "people can't look good, the sea can't fight", the outside looks like a mediocre mountain villa, but there is another mystery inside, is there a rich daughter hidden inside?

Seeing that I was alone, the front desk attendant came over and asked, "Sir, are you alone?" I nodded, and she continued, "Are you here for a vacation?"

I didn't answer her directly, but I changed the conversation and talked to her: "Tell me about you! I heard from a friend that your environment is good." "Sir, you're right! Our environment is one of the best in the country, don't look at the appearance is inconspicuous, in fact, it is to hide the ......luxury of the inside," she introduced as she walked, but I didn't listen at all, and my eyes looked around for clues that appeared in the photo, as if the scene in the photo was in a relatively spacious place, and the neighborhood was almost full of gardens.

I interrupted the waiter's introduction and asked, "Do you have a wide plaza......?" We have regular bonfires, sir, and you're in luck, there will be one tonight, and there will be prizes for participating in the event......" The waitress had a smile on her face, and she could tell that she was a fan of the event. I pretended to be interested and asked a few more questions, and she answered them all. We came to a small square that was not too big, and I vaguely remember that this was the place where the photo was taken, but with a small change, it can be assumed that there was a change in the place after the photo was taken.
