Janeway met my gaze and asked, "You didn't say a word, what were you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering when I'll be able to stand at the pinnacle of the business world you're talking about."

"The road is long and long, you will go up and down and seek."

For Jian Wei's encouragement, I nodded solemnly, since I have set a goal for myself, then I must continue to explore and struggle in sweat.

This night, Janeway's appetite seemed to be good, and she ate two small bowls of rice in a row, and I only ate one.

Jian Wei helped me scoop a bowl of vegetable soup and asked, "Zhaoyang, are you very unappetizing?" ”

"It's your appetite that's too good."

"Recently, the work intensity has been high, the appetite is good, and the body can be good."

Jian Wei's good attitude made me smile and asked, "In addition to the business of Jinding Real Estate, have you received other big advertising orders recently?" ”

"I used all the 50% of the advance payment paid by Jinding Real Estate to open up advertising channels, mainly large outdoor billboards, so recently I have received a lot of advertising orders for real estate and 4S stores."

"That's hello."

"It's too early to congratulate."

"I think it's timely!"

Jian Wei put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand again and said to me: "When my Simei advertising is more famous in the industry than Jian Boyu (Jian Wei's father)'s advertising agency, you can congratulate me again!" ”

I smiled and said, "You just call your dad by his name!" ”

"What's all the fuss! Didn't you call him that a few years ago, of course, when you're in a good mood, you'll still call him Dad. ”

Janeway's way of doing things did not disgust me, but on the contrary, it made me feel a little heartache, because she had turned her parents upside down for me with such a character.

……

After eating, Janeway and I mingled in the crowd on the street, taking a walk to digest the feeling of fullness, in fact, we haven't walked on the street so leisurely side by side for the purpose of walking for many years, and this half-cold and half-warm spring seems to be ironed around us, but the two can no longer find the kind of artistic conception when they were together, because I don't want to be at peace with the encounter, and she is not willing to find the unrestrained pleasure in my casual encounter.

When we were tired of walking, the two of us sat on the curb of the street, and I took a cigarette from the cigarette case as usual and lit it, while Janeway gently beat her legs to relieve her fatigue.

After a while, she asked me, "Aren't you nervous about meeting Jian Boyu and Uncle Yang Congrong tomorrow?" ”

I smiled and said, "It's like you're going to do your best." ”

"Tomorrow, you really have to take out a desperate posture, those two old birds in the rivers and lakes, you don't have such momentum, you can't suppress them."

"Can I call you Sister Domineering?"

Jian Wei looked at me and said with a serious face: "Zhaoyang, I'm not joking with you, as a man, you must have the consciousness of not being afraid of hard work and being afraid of ordinariness." ”

"Okay, even if you don't become a hero tomorrow, you have to be a hero!"

Jian Wei patted me on the shoulder and praised, "Good job, sister admires you!" ”

"Sister?"

Jian Wei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't you just call me a domineering sister, is there a problem with calling myself a sister now?" ”

"There's a problem, after all, you're months younger than me."

"Sister is determined by the status of the rivers and lakes, don't use age or anything as a basis!"

As she argued with me, I subconsciously put my hand on her head, and then played with it indiscriminately until her neat short office hair was completely out of shape.

Janeway looked up at me resentfully, and I was terrified...... I feel that my behavior is a little out of bounds, but we were really like this in the past.

I realized that when I spent alone with Janeway for a long time, it was easy to confuse the past with the present, because the memories of the past were always flowing in my body with my blood.

I was silent for a long time before I said to Janeway, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have messed up your hair so much. ”

"Don't do that again."

"I know."

Janeway looked at me, her eyes were a little moist, but she smiled at me and said, "Actually, it's okay to mess up, it's just that you can't comb it back for me like before." ”

I understand that this is Janeway reminding me to face up to our current relationship, but it makes me feel a little sad, and I can't say where the sadness is, and the human mind is sometimes so subtle and not under my control.

……

I didn't stay with Janeway for too long this night, because I didn't want to trap myself in the whirlpool of memories, and I didn't want the assurance I gave to Mi Cai to become an irresponsible lie.

Back in the old room, after a brief wash, I lay down on the bed, thinking about some of the conversations I had with Janeway.

She told me: What men are afraid of is not desperate, but ordinary.

This sentence came out of a woman's mouth, it was really domineering, but it could not be said that it was unreasonable, and it was this kind of momentum that I lacked all these years, so a few years ago, I never promised anything in front of Janeway's father with this kind of momentum, so that from the beginning, I failed to leave a good image of him as a strongman in the business world.

At that time, I always thought that it was good to live peacefully with what happened, so why should I make myself so tired and troubled in a short period of time?

Although she was forced to work hard after Janeway went to the United States, when she and I proposed to break up, all the motivation to struggle collapsed in an instant, and since then we have embarked on a negative road of no return.

I understand more deeply: in my bones, there has always been less of this momentum, so my former self is so easy to collapse.

And now?

Now, I'm really afraid of this kind of ordinary, because I'll never forget the appearance of Mi Huan showing off his power in front of me with a lot of wealth, and I also remember that when I went to celebrate Mi Zhongde's birthday, no one paid attention to it, so I could only shrink in the corner alone, and I remember the expectations of Ban Dad, Mom, Mi Cai, Le Yao, and even Jian Wei.

Thinking and thinking, I turned off the light, and then lit a cigarette for myself in the darkness, longing to be reborn after smoking this cigarette, and enjoy the sense of control in the rebirth of desire.

……

Just as I was immersed in the past and the present to reflect on myself, I received a text message from Mi Cai again, and she was also concerned about the outcome of my interview with Yang Congrong.

I quickly messaged her back: "We'll have an appointment at noon, and we'll have dinner together." ”

"Well, although the special publicity is very tempting, you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself, just face the gains and losses with a normal heart."

"Normal? Are you kidding me! Today I just went with desperate momentum, and I had to do this thing whether he lived or died. ”

"It's not like you, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't be afraid of being desperate, afraid of the ordinary!" ――
