Chapter 32 Laughing at Life
For Zhou Fei, Shanghai is a strange city, and for Shanghai, Zhou Fei is a foreigner. It is not easy for Zhou Fei to live in Shanghai, he and Wang Wei are in a similar situation in the provincial capital, except that the place where he lives is a little better than Wang Wei, he is as confused as Wang Wei, they all say that Shanghai is heaven, but he does not feel the warmth from heaven at all, on the contrary, Shanghai gives him the feeling of being like a stone, hard and cold, and he has to use his body temperature to warm it.
Zhou Fei also submitted a lot of resumes on the Internet, like Wang Wei, there is no news at all, Shanghai is not like a provincial capital, there are thousands of people like him in this city, there are too many people who are better than him, and those who have just graduated from him have no advantage at all. If he wants to live in Shanghai, he must have a decent job, which is something that must be solved in front of him, and he cannot wait for a moment. He has few acquaintances in Shanghai, except for Wu Zixi, there is also Wu Zixi's college roommate Li Lan, Li Lan has just come to Shanghai, there is no way to help him, as for Wu Zixi, he can't go to her now, now he has no face to stand in front of Wu Zixi, he learned from Li Lan that Wu Zixi was reused as soon as he entered the company, it was a very famous design company, it was a leader in the industry, and the future was very bright to work in such a company, and Wu Zixi was reused as soon as he entered, compared to her, he was a failure, he couldn't see her with such a face。
Life is like a big turntable, facing you is always uncertain, you just dial it, there may be good luck around you, or bad luck will accompany you, no one can control life, life gives you, no matter what it is, you can't refuse, it's suffering, you bear suffering, it's luck, you accept this gift.
Zhou Fei originally planned to go to see Wu Zixi as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, but now she can't go to see Wu Zixi, his current state is too bad, he has no face to stand in front of Wu Zixi, so he can't let Wu Zixi give him an answer, he has nothing, why let Wu Zixi be with him. Before coming to Shanghai, he thought it was easy to find a job in Shanghai, but when he arrived in Shanghai, he knew that not everyone in Shanghai can live, Shanghai is a river and lake full of right and wrong, and it is impossible to mix without a body of martial arts, obviously, Zhou Fei also needs to adapt to the rhythm of Shanghai, every city has its own rhythm, the rhythm of Shanghai is unfamiliar to Zhou Fei, if he wants to live in Shanghai, he must adapt to the rhythm of Shanghai.
"Have you seen Wu Zixi?" Li Lan was resting today, and deliberately came over to find Zhou Fei, she had a good relationship with Zhou Fei when she was in school before, and she had been following Wu Zixi to Zhou Fei to eat and drink, and the two of them could be regarded as friends. Now that Zhou Fei is in Shanghai, she should treat Zhou Fei well, but she has just worked, so she doesn't have so much time to accompany him, there is a long distance from her to where Zhou Fei lives, if it weren't for the rest, she really wouldn't have time to come to see him.
"Now like this, what kind of face do I have to see her, I don't want her to see how embarrassed I am. Zhou Fei was a little frustrated, the enthusiasm he had just come to was now running out.
"You weren't like this before, why don't you have confidence now?" Zhou Fei, whom Li Lan knows, is not afraid of any difficulties, when he was in school, nothing could stump Zhou Fei, she had never seen Zhou Fei so lost as today.
"The real life is really far from the imaginary life, I am a little lost, a little overwhelmed, and I don't know how to go in the future. Facing Li Lan, Zhou Fei was a lot more relaxed, he had a lot to say these days, but he didn't know who to say it to, this city was completely unfamiliar to him, and no one wanted to listen to his misfortune.
"People of our age have your confusion, this is the test of growth for us, we can't escape, we have to face it bravely, I believe that there will always be more ways than difficulties. Li Lan didn't know how to comfort Zhou Fei, he knew that Zhou Fei was different from her, he wanted to do a big career in Shanghai, not simply looking for a job, he had lofty ideals and wanted to use the broad stage of Shanghai to achieve it. But when he came to Shanghai, he found that he thought of Shanghai too beautifully and his ideals too simple, so he was disappointed and confused.
"What a city it is, and why are we so small. Facing this strange sky, Zhou Fei let out a sigh.
"Living in Shanghai, you have to learn to run, the faster you run, the more opportunities, you look at the people on the street, they are all in a hurry, just to be able to get more things, everyone is working hard for life, there is no reason why we should not work hard. We also have to run, for our own ideals, in order to give ourselves an answer, we have no other choice, since you are here, you have to go on, even if the result is not what we want, we will face ourselves with a smile and give ourselves a satisfactory answer. Li Lan knows that Zhou Fei is very good, but he has not clearly understood himself, as long as he takes the first step bravely, the world that belongs to him is brilliant, she has nothing else to help Zhou Fei, she can only give him encouragement and confidence, she knows that Zhou Fei needs her encouragement, in Shanghai, except for Wu Zixi, only she can help him, and now, Wu Zixi can't help him, only she helps Zhou Fei, if he doesn't even help him, he will definitely be very disappointed in Shanghai, and he will be very disappointed in her.
"You're right, I have no choice but to work hard, since this city wants me to run, then I'll run!" Zhou Fei listened to Li Lan's words, and he suddenly understood something. Li Lan is right, a person is destined to struggle against many difficulties in this world, and if he wants his fate not to be in the hands of others, he must work a hundred times harder. On the one hand, he chose to come to Shanghai because he wanted to be with Wu Zixi, he didn't want to lose her inexplicably, even if it was over, he wanted her to tell him in person, on the other hand, he also wanted to realize his dream in a big city, he also wanted to stand on a higher stage to show himself, the provincial city is also a big city, but compared with Shanghai, it is very small, Xu Fei's choice made him understand that if a person wants to fly higher, he not only needs a pair of powerful wings, but also must have a broader sky.
Now he knows why so many people come to Shanghai without hesitation, some dreams can only be carried by places like Shanghai, Shanghai can provide you with an opportunity to show your strengths, but other places can't give it.
Different understanding of success, different requirements for life, will create a different future for everyone, some people like a vigorous life, some people like a plain life, some people live a glamorous life, some people live a dull life, these are not important, the important thing is the road you have walked. Success is not how much money you get, how important a position you occupy, how much power you have, but inner satisfaction, inner fulfillment, success, even if you have no money, no power, you are still a success.
We are tired of living in this world because we demand too much from this world, and there are too many people in this world who want to get rich for nothing, dreaming of getting rich overnight, trying to live a luxurious life without doing anything, and once these people are frustrated in life, they complain that life is unfair to them, and they suspect that others can't see them, and they never think about whether they have done enough. Happy people are at ease, even if it is a small harvest, they are willing to work hard for it, only by themselves to travel, to know the meaning of travel, through travel magazines and relying on others to experience the meaning of travel is self-deception, just like some people say that grapes are sour, some people say that grapes are sweet, in the end grapes are sour or sweet, you can taste it yourself. Young us all look at the success of others, and we all want to taste the taste of success as soon as possible, and success is not given by others, it is to rely on ourselves to fight, only by our own efforts to fight, the taste of success is the most beautiful, the most real.
"Don't think about it so much, while I'm resting today, I'll take you around and feel the enthusiasm of Shanghai. Li Lan saw that Zhou Fei was a little distressed, she was a little unbearable, she hadn't been in Shanghai for long, but at least she came earlier than Zhou Fei, and there was a job that was not good or bad, and Zhou Fei was not familiar with life, she was not helping him, he was afraid that he would be very disappointed, she knew how much expectation he had, and she couldn't let him leave with disappointment! She can't help him in other places, she can still say some comforting words to him, when she was in school, she followed Wu Zixi and rubbed a lot of benefits for Zhou Fei, this will be the time for her to repay, she should do her best, start with Zhou Fei's psychology, can't let him lose confidence, losing confidence is more terrible than anything else, and can't let him lose enthusiasm, and he can't do anything well without enthusiasm. In fact, this is the same as falling in love, when you fall in love, you have to find someone with similar conditions to yourself, such as family conditions, knowledge level, etc., if the gap is too big, you will not be happy if you are barely together, and you must have enthusiasm when you fall in love.
"Then I'll give myself to you today, and today you have the final say, and I'll be corrupt with you for a while!" Zhou Fei doesn't care about work, just relax, his nerves have been too tense these days.
"You should have done this a long time ago, when you were in school, you made yourself busier than the prime minister, and you can't stop as soon as you graduate, and you are so tired of yourself, and what do you get, it is better to live every day from now on, what the future looks like, what will wait for us, let's talk about it later! I still say that there will always be more ways than difficulties, and there are no hurdles that cannot be overcome. Li Lan is very satisfied with her current life, she doesn't have the same lofty goals as Wu Zixi, nor the luck of Wu Zixi, she can enter such a good company as soon as she graduates, and she can also be an executive, she just wants to be her salesman, don't force, don't give up, step by step towards the goal, it is best to achieve the goal, it doesn't matter if she can't achieve it, she didn't have much hope, and she won't be so disappointed.
"Learn from Li Lan, please give me more advice. Zhou Fei hugged his fists, it was really a bit of a hero, he deliberately stretched the words "please advise" very long, which made Li Lan laugh.
"Let's go! Let's get corrupt again. As soon as Li Lan beckoned, Zhou Fei followed her on the road, Li Lan is like this, she has a warm-hearted heart, and she has a ruthlessness to go and do what she says, which Wu Zixi does not have, and even Zhou Fei is not as good as her.
"Take you to play something exciting, so that you can be excited for a while, and ensure that you will never forget it." Li Lan decided to take Zhou Fei to play something exciting, which made him feel that Shanghai was not in vain.
"It's up to you. Zhou Fei agreed, he was not afraid of any tricks Li Lan would play as a big man, he couldn't lose face in front of Li Lan.
They changed cars a few times before they arrived at the place Li Lan said, it was a Di Paradise, there was everything to play, there were quite a lot of people in Di Paradise, it was very lively, and the dark clouds in Zhou Fei's heart dispersed.
"Roller coaster, first course of the day. Li Lan pointed to the high-speed roller coaster and said to Zhou Fei, the roller coaster is nothing to her, but it is a challenge for Zhou Fei, he heard Wu Zixi say that Zhou Fei is very timid, once they went to the park to play, she proposed to take the roller coaster, but Zhou Fei refused to live or die, because he was afraid, today she picked the point that Zhou Fei was afraid of, so that he forgot what fear is.
"It's ......". Zhou Fei hesitated a little when he saw the fast-moving roller coaster, this was what he was most afraid of, Li Lan really didn't open any pot and which pot to mention! This was deliberately making him look ugly.
"Why, I'm scared! I'm ready to admit it before I sit down! I don't look like a man at all. Li Lan deliberately stimulated Zhou Fei, if he didn't stimulate him, he didn't have the courage to go up, and it was the same to do work, if he didn't even have the courage to do it, what kind of success or failure would he talk about.
"Sit it, sit down, I'm so terrible. Zhou Fei sat down hard, he was very scared in his heart, his heart was beating so fast that he was even short of breath, but he couldn't let Li Lan look down on him, he tried his best to pretend not to be afraid.
"If there is an accident on the way, if you have to say three words to me, what will you say?" Li Lan looked at Zhou Fei's nervous appearance very funny, in order to relieve Zhou Fei's nervousness, she deliberately talked to Zhou Fei, so that Zhou Fei's attention could be diverted to other things, and the tension would not exist.
"Don't let go. Zhou Fei looked ahead, his hands tightly grasped the armrest, due to too much force, the muscles in his arms gathered into pieces, and his face turned red, like a piece of red-burning iron that had just been taken out of the stove.
Li Lan didn't expect Zhou Fei to say these three words, she was amused by Zhou Fei, it seems that Zhou Fei is really scared, she is a bit of a duck on the shelf, but since she has already come up, just sit down! Maybe he won't be afraid after playing this time, which is a good thing.
Fear is like a fog, the fog makes you can't see the road ahead, then you have fear, the brave people are the ones who dare to break through this layer of fog and come out, they don't believe that the fog will always follow them, as long as they keep moving forward, they will get out of the fog, they will see the light. The timid man was frightened by the fog in front of him, so he did not dare to go forward, he was afraid that he would get lost when he walked in, as if he had walked into the desert, and not only could he not find a way out, but he was afraid that he would forget the way back, so they kept hesitating and hesitating. Zhou Fei has such a fog in his heart, hindering him and making him slow to act, what Li Lan has to do is to help Zhou Fei break this fog, let Zhou Fei build confidence, let him go on bravely, believe that the fog is only temporary, and the world behind the fog belongs to him.
