This night, I seemed to have found a feeling I hadn't felt for a long time, so I drank a little high, so that I already had the feeling of wanting to vomit before I left the dinner table, in order not to cause trouble to Fang Yuan and his wife, I hurried to the balcony, opened the window, and let the wind blow away this sudden vomiting feeling.

The cold wind blew the smell of winter, and my face was a little stiff in this biting cold, but I looked into the distance persistently, because I imagined that in addition to the cold, this gust of wind would also blow the news of Micai, I wanted to know what she was doing at this time, but we hadn't been in touch for two days.

Yan Yan brought a cup of tea, and I took it from her hand, for fear that she would catch the cold of the wind, so I hurriedly instructed her to leave, but she closed the window and seemed to have something to say to me.

I took a sip of water, smiled inquiringly, and said, "What's the matter, looking at me like that?" ”

Yan Yan wanted to speak and stopped, but finally shook her head at me, and just asked, "Zhaoyang, do you like your current life?" ”

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, but I didn't think too much about it, so I replied, "Of course I like it, the current life is not bad, at least I can look forward to the future life from afar." ”

Yan Yan finally smiled, but lowered her voice again, sighed and said to me: "Some things may really be destined, you have your own blessings, although there was a not very good time in the middle, but in the end I met a woman who can make you tempted." ”

"yes." I answered, and I couldn't help but look back at the distance where I couldn't see her.

Yan Yan's voice became softer: "Just be blessed by misfortune, you can live your future life Zhaoyang, you are really a good man who is righteous, even if others have done some unforgivable things to you, but you still get your own happiness, because God is fair!" ”

"Who did the unforgivable thing to me?"

Yan Yan looked at me for a long time before replying, "I'm just making an analogy!" ”

I smiled and said, "This analogy is really thrilling, as if I have been living in a huge lie, fortunately this is only an analogy!" ”

Yan Yan nodded, and said to me again: "You have drunk so much wine, don't go back tonight, I have just cleaned up the beds in the guest room, and they are all new bedding." ”

It was late at night, Fang Yuan and I were lying on the bed one by one, and in the image, since we left the university dormitory, we hadn't been lying on the same bed and chatting like we were now.

One of us lit a cigarette, Fang Yuan sighed while looking for the ashtray: "Time flies so fast, it's been 4 years since I graduated from college Zhaoyang, do you believe it, since graduating from college, I haven't been lying in bed and smoking again, think about it, it's still the freedom I had when I was in college, and I was completely unrestrained." ”

"What do you mean: I, Zhaoyang, still have the word freedom written on my face? I haven't gotten rid of my habit of smoking in bed until now! ”

Fang Yuan put an ashtray on the bedtable on my side, flicked the ash in his hand and said with a smile: "A few brothers in our dormitory, I'm afraid you live the most persistently, I don't think you have changed much compared to when you were in college!" ”

"Are you praising me or belittling me?"

Fang Yuan snuffed out the cigarette he had only smoked, lay back on the bed, pillowed it on his arm, and said to me: "Zhaoyang, in fact, I really envy you for so many years, you have not changed the initial unruliness and restlessness, and you may not work harder than others in your career, but your life is the most potential, now everyone can see this sign, maybe it won't be long before you will leave us brothers far behind!" ”

What do you mean by that? Do you think I've met a few capable women? Are they supporting my business? ”

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Can you deny this?" Although I have always recognized your ability, but without the support of others, you can't get to this point Zhaoyang, we have been brothers for so many years, I am not afraid to say these words to you, in addition to envy, I also hope that you can take advantage of the opportunity at this stage to lay a solid foundation to deal with possible risks in the future After all, shopping malls are changing rapidly, whether it is Jian Wei or Yang Congrong, Mr. Yang, can not protect you for a lifetime. ”

I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I couldn't deny the reasonableness of Fang Yuan's words, looking back on the road I had traveled in my career, I am afraid that the effort was far from matching what I had now, and only a brother like Fang Yuan would point out this problem to his face and arouse his sense of distress.

I took a deep puff of my cigarette and finally said to Fang Yuan: "I understand that I also want to make some achievements in the mall independently, but now I can't smoke!" ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Since you have such a good resource by your side, why do you have to withdraw?" You should make reasonable use of these resources to do your own business, when you are really standing at the top of the mall, no one will care what you have used, because at that time, your light and energy have been overshadowed! ”

I pondered for a long time before I said to Fang Yuan: "I remember telling you just now, I don't have such a big revenge, I can live simply, and I will be satisfied if I ask for food and clothing, but I don't think it's wrong for you to think so, but people must have a bottom line, and while completing their goals, they must also take into account the moral standards of this society and the legal dignity of the country." ”

Fang Yuan picked up the cigarette that he had only taken a puff in the ashtray again, lit it and took a puff, before he smiled and said to me: "I just want to tell you these words, even if I think so, I don't have the conditions to do so, in fact, like you, I feel quite satisfied with my current life, after all, in this city that drinks human blood, I have a house, a car, and a wife who loves me deeply."

I added: "There is also a baby that is about to be born, what you have now, it's really beyond our reach, look at me and Xiang Chen, and we are both struggling for marriage!" ”

"It's a matter of time before you get married, come on, that's what I've been like in my life, but you are different from Xiang Chen, you both have the potential to become leaders in this society, and my brother is really looking forward to seeing the day when you stand at the pinnacle of business and guide the country!"

I smiled: "Pointing out the country? Don't talk about it, in fact, if you can live like you are now, I feel that the value of life has been realized! ”

"Don't you believe my eyes?"

"I don't believe that if I were really a person who is full of ambition and revenge in business, I wouldn't have been addicted to music and feelings for so many years"

Fang Yuan looked at me and smiled, finally realizing that there was really no point in continuing this topic with me, and then fell into silence, and I suddenly remembered the agreement he had made with Mi Cai before Mi Cai left, so I asked him, "How is your recent work at Zhuomei?" ”

Fang Yuan exhaled heavily, as if releasing the pressure on his body, he said to me: "Recently, I am in charge of the Christmas activity plan, I myself have made a military order with the board of directors, this year's Christmas activities, the turnover of Zhuomei Shopping will definitely reach twice that of Polaroid Department Store, otherwise I will take the blame and resign If it is successful, even if I give Mr. Mi a gift before the listing results come out, I hope to increase the chips for the success of the listing!" ”

"Why do you bother, you've worked in both department stores, and no one knows better than you that it's impossible to double Polaroid's turnover! You shouldn't gamble your career prospects on this!! ”

Fang Yuan's expression was obviously anxious, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand again, and said to me with some difficulty: "This is what I promised with Mr. Mi, as a man, I should be responsible for my commitment, I think, only by winning the Christmas that must be fought for in the department store industry with an absolute advantage, can I truly gain the trust of Mr. Mi, otherwise it is meaningless to stay in Zhuomei with all my might!" ”

I looked at him worriedly for a long time before I said, "It's really good that you have this idea, but your current state is obviously problematic, and I'm worried that you won't be able to accomplish this basically impossible goal." ”

Fang Yuan was silent for a long time, patted me on the shoulder, smiled and said: "There is still a little time until Christmas, I will do my best to adjust my state, besides, I can't let the best brother not get down the steps in front of my own woman, it's reasonable, I have to complete this goal I have set!" ”

I even felt the pressure on Fang Yuan's body at this moment, and after exhaling heavily, I finally nodded and said, "As a brother, I will definitely support you, besides, miracles are left to people to create zào, with your current efforts and determination, this goal may not be impossible to achieve!" ”

Fang Yuan nodded, and I asked him again, "Does that Mi Cai know about the military order you made with the board of directors?" ”

"This is something that I and the board of directors decided at this evening's meeting, and I don't know if there is feedback to Mr. Mi now, but I think: Chen Jingming should report this matter to Mr. Mi, so she will know sooner or later."

I said: "I think it's best for you to report this matter to Mi Cai, after all, the main purpose is to fulfill the promise you made to her before, and your direct communication will seem more natural, and it will also make her feel your determination, so that she can dispel her concerns about you!" ”

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and replied: "What you said makes sense, if Mr. Mi knows about this matter through Mr. Chen's mouth, it seems that I have affection for her, I should report this matter to her directly!" ”

"Well, then you can call her now, it's her time to work."

Fang Yuan nodded, then took out his mobile phone from his briefcase.
