He Xiangdong and Gao Bingsheng have known each other for many years, Gao Bingsheng is a first-class big name in the cross talk industry, as early as decades ago, He Xiangdong knew Gao Bingsheng's name.

But the two have never intersected, before He Xiangdong became popular, the identities and status of the two were undoubtedly very different, so He Xiangdong had never even seen Gao Bingsheng's real person.

It was only after He Xiangdong became popular that He Xiangdong's social side really expanded. But the real contact between the two still has to be said when Yun Ji and Xie Quan left Xiangwen Society, and Gao Bingsheng gave them a platform to support their development.

Over the years, many things have happened, and He Xiangdong has also thought carefully about his relationship with Gao Bingsheng.

In fact, Gao Bingsheng has stumbled on him a lot and squeezed him many times, but unlike those people, He Xiangdong has never had a grudge against Gao Bingsheng in his heart.

He was just vigilant and didn't want to have too much contact with Gao Bingsheng, after all, this person's scheming and means were too powerful, He Xiangdong was not arrogant, but when it came to scheming and means, He Xiangdong was really far from being his opponent.

During this time, a lot of major events happened to Xiangwenshe, and at the most dangerous time, Xiangwenshe almost fell apart, and He Xiangdong was even ready to wander the rivers and lakes in his heart.

But at this most critical juncture, it was Gao Bingsheng who helped him break the game. It can be said that Gao Bingsheng has a great favor to Xiang Wenshe.

Now Gao Bingsheng asked He Xiangdong to promise him one thing, how could He Xiangdong not agree, this is to repay the favor.

"Speak, please. He Xiangdong looked at Gao Bingsheng sincerely.

Gao Bingsheng sighed leisurely, and didn't look at He Xiangdong, just looked out the window, and said slowly: "It's not a big deal, it's just ...... Just don't let Xiang Wenshe finish. And also...... Everywhere there is black and there is white, and there is good and bad. The system is not full of bad people and waste, if one day, the system is gone, I hope you can tolerate them a little bit, and help them if you can. ”

He Xiangdong was silent for a long time, he suddenly felt something bad in his heart, there was a taste of saying it, it was difficult to describe, it was difficult to describe, he just felt that his nose was sour.

After a long time, He Xiangdong nodded: "Okay, don't worry, I will help if it is a talent, and if it is a talent and a good character, I will welcome them to come to Xiangwen Society and develop with us." ”

Gao Bingsheng looked out the window and bowed slightly.

The noodle shop fell silent again, save for the small sound of the boss cleaning up in the kitchen.

It's been another long time.

Gao Bingsheng had been looking at the small pond outside the window for a long time, and Gao Bingsheng asked, "He Xiangdong, you say, are there fish in the pond?"

He Xiangdong replied: "Yes." ”

Gao Bingsheng looked back at He Xiangdong and asked, "Then do you think you are in this pond?"

He Xiangdong paused slightly, and then nodded heavily.

Gao Bingsheng said: "The pond is good, there are many nutrients, and the nutrition is sufficient, as long as it is a fish with a big belly, it can be eaten." There are a few that are particularly powerful, and he can mix fat and become strong and become real big fish. It's just that there are good and bad ponds, and if you want to eat here, you have to abide by the rules here. ”

He Xiangdong was silent.

A faint smile appeared on Gao Bingsheng's face, he used to have a warm smile on his face, and he was smiling now, but it was not the signature kind of warm smile. Now this smile is more sincere, which makes people feel kind.

Gao Bingsheng looked at He Xiangdong and said, "He Xiangdong, you used to be a wild fish active in mountain streams, although you have little to eat, but you are better than freedom. But now you're in the pond, and you're eating all the stuff from the pond. Since you are in the pond and enjoying the food that the pond gives you, you have to keep the rules of the pond. ”

"You can't eat other people's food, drink other people's food, and then don't pay attention to other people, there is no such reason, and the good things in the world cannot be occupied by you alone. As Western philosophers say, man is born free, but he is always in chains. ”

"He Xiangdong, since you have chosen to break away from the rivers and lakes, since you have chosen to develop Xiangwen Society, and since you have chosen to be in this pond, you can no longer be as chic and comfortable as before. He Xiangdong, it's not that you can't see through this, but you don't want to see through it. ”

"Your development towards the literary community is getting better and better, and you will develop faster and faster, and in the same way, the shackles placed on you will become heavier and heavier. I know there's someone behind you, and I know you're not willing to beg the guy behind you. Maybe that person will help you when you are in danger, but he can help you a few more times, and you still have to rely on yourself in the end. ”

"He Xiangdong, Xiangwen Society is the hope of cross talk. For the sake of the Literary Society, but also for the cross talk. He Xiangdong, it's time to see through, and you should make a choice. ”

Hearing this, He Xiangdong was silent for a long time.

……

After the two separated, He Xiangdong went home, He Xiangdong didn't let anyone pick him up, he just walked on the road alone.

The night was very late.

He Xiangdong was walking alone, there were no pedestrians on the road, only cars on the street were whistling by.

He Xiangdong didn't know how long he had been walking, and he didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, when suddenly, he saw an old-fashioned 28 bicycle on the side of the road, a very broken one, and he knew at a glance that it was a bicycle that had been discarded.

He Xiangdong suddenly laughed, and he thought of the past, when he first arrived in Beijing, he rode such a broken bicycle from the old Xiangwen Society to the suburbs every day, running back and forth.

Now that I think about it, I haven't ridden a bike in years.

He Xiangdong suddenly became interested, and he really wanted to ride this bicycle. So, He Xiangdong stepped forward, and regardless of whether the car was dirty or not, he turned over and went up.

After a few kicks, the bike made a few screams, crunched, and staggered away.

These two broken bicycles are the same as He Xiangdong's car back then, that is, except for the bell that does not ring, it rings everywhere.

However, He Xiangdong's car was angry back then, it wasn't so tiring to ride, this car was deflated, but it was normal, after all, it was abandoned, how could someone still cheer it up.

Although he was very tired, He Xiangdong rode very happily, he pedaled hard, laughing while riding, laughing and shouting.

Reckless and arrogant, like madness.

"I am a loose person in Wollongong, relying on yin and yang to understand the past and the present. The first emperor went down to Nanyang to drive the three Qings, and it was expected that the Han family industry would be three points. The official seal was handed over to the Marquis of Wuxiang to take charge of the handsome seal ......"

The last time He Xiangdong sang like this was 13 years ago, in the summer of 96, in Tianjin, on the eve of He Xiangdong's preparation to enter Beijing.
