Chapter 2: A Man's Choice

When Meizi was with Yan Qing that day, she told Yan Qing about her being with Yan Zhen that night. She asked Yan Qing to persuade Yan Zhen to leave Yan Zhen's living environment related to Long Li, which would help him get rid of the pain of falling out of love. But Yan Zhen couldn't do it, he still lived alone in the rental house where Long Li lived with him, and he lived with Long Li for two years. When they moved in, they liked the rental house and planned to move out unless there was a job change, so they would put down roots here, because it was a quiet place to live, and the rent was a little more expensive, but it was only a few minutes away from where they worked. Two years ago, in order to live with him, Long Li quit her old job and found a factory clerk near their magazine. Yan Zhen and Long Li come back from work every day and live like husband and wife. But the happy days of Yan Zhen and Long Li began to turn bad when Long Li's parents forced her to go home and marry the rich man.

At first, Long Li didn't agree to her parents' request, but then gradually Long Li was confused by her parents, and Long Li began to ask Yan Zhen about her future plans. Yan Zhen's plan for the future is very simple, he married Long Li, had children, and worked part-time to live a small life. Yan Zhen used to want to be in charge, but now that he has seen everything, it is a pipe dream for an ordinary young man in China to be in charge.

Long Li didn't want Yan Zhen to be so unambitious, she said that they are old now, and they shouldn't look at the problem as simple as before, she hopes that her man is an ambitious and promising man, and he can be a man who makes a lot of money in the future. She also said that her parents said that Yan Zhen could buy a house in Pengcheng to give Long Li a stable home, so they would marry her to Yan Zhen, so Long Li kept persuading Yan Zhen to find a way to make money to buy a house. But Yan Zhen didn't want to live so hard, he felt that the working conditions between them could make him live a happy life, and there was no need to compare the hard days of slapping a swollen face and becoming fat. He was used to being an editor in a magazine, and he didn't want to work hard in society, and he didn't dare to work hard in society, so their concepts began to collide, and slowly they quarreled over these things, and their lives were no longer as simple and happy as before.

Yan Zhen was really told by Long Li that he couldn't stand it once, so he said angrily at her: "You are so greedy for money, I don't have the ability to make money, if you have the ability, go find a man who makes a lot of money." ”

Long Li left him in a rage because of Yan Zhen's angry words. Yan Zhen didn't expect that her departure would be a breakup with him...... Yan Zhen returned to the house every day after work, looking at the empty "home", and felt extremely painful, but Yan Zhen couldn't leave this "home", Yan Zhen dreamed of Long Li coming back. He still kept leaving messages on Long Li's QQ on the Internet, struggling to persuade her to come back, telling her to leave him and how lonely he was in their "home".

Long Li didn't come back, and a month later, Yan Zhen decided to resign from the magazine and work hard in society, he can't be so unproductive, he can't be so content with the status quo anymore. "Men are useless, so they will blame women for reality." This sentence pierced his heart all the time, he wanted to work hard in society and prove to Long Li that he was not a waste with his actions.

Yan Zhen quit the rental house he rented with Long Li, he wants to live his new life completely, he doesn't believe that others can buy a house and a car in Shenzhen and marry his favorite wife, he Yan Zhen can't. "I can! I absolutely can! He kept saying to himself in his heart, "I can!" I can! ……”

"I've got your back!" Yan Qing patted Yan Zhen on the shoulder and said, "Believe in yourself, work hard, and there will be a world in Pengcheng that belongs to you in the future." ”

Yan Zhen knew that Yan Qing was encouraging him, and he himself knew that the future of quitting his editorial job in a magazine and working hard in society was very dangerous and confusing, but he was like Xiang Yu and had no way out, he could only move forward bravely on the road of life.

Yan Zhen settled down because he didn't find a job, and temporarily lived in Yan Qing's rental house. Yan Qing rented a one-bedroom apartment, because Yan Qing often brought women back to sleep, Yan Zhen didn't want to sleep in a bed with him, so he slept on the sofa in the living room. Yan Zhen looked for a job for a few days, but did not find a job that he was satisfied with, Yan Qing suggested that Yan Zhen go to the business, many bosses in Pengcheng started from being salesmen, this industry is very capable of training people, and the future is relatively immeasurable.

Yan Zhensi also felt that Yan Qing's suggestion was good, if he wanted to make money in Pengcheng, he either had patented technology or a capital market, and Yan Qing had neither.

When Yan Zhen began to plan what business to run, Yan Qing suggested that he run the decoration business. Yan Zhen disdained it as soon as he heard about running the decoration business, he was an upright college student and an editor of a famous magazine, and he felt that it was too unproductive to run the coolie business. However, Yan Qing said that as long as the business of this industry runs away, he can work alone in the future without any investment, which will be of great benefit to his rapid development of his career in the future.

Yan Zhen thought about it and felt that Yan Qing's suggestion was reasonable, if he went to the factory to run the business, even if he ran to a big order in the past two years, he could only produce it for the factory, because he was not able to open a factory; On the contrary, once the decoration business is done, you can pull it into a big business, and you can call the decoration team to be the boss of your own business. Yan Zhen thought about it again and decided to follow Yan Qing's suggestion and go to the bright decoration company introduced by Yan Qing to be a salesman. Yan Qing knew the proprietress of this decoration company, and he worked part-time in this decoration company to do some drawing design work. Bright Decoration Company is a medium-sized decoration company with more than a dozen salesmen, but there are only four old salesmen, most of whom are new salesmen.

The important burden of the business department of Bright Decoration Company is shouldered by a manager named Li Hu. Yan Zhen thought that the business manager was very capable at first, but he only had a primary school education, only three years older than him, and now he has a house, a car and a beautiful woman in Xixiang. He is a native of Jiangxi, at the age of fifteen came to Pengcheng to work, began to work at the construction site, and later apprenticed with a big engineer, five years ago into the bright decoration company as a salesman, because people are shrewd, so within two years with the expansion of the bright decoration company, he was promoted to the manager of the business department by the boss.

Li Hu has a good relationship with Yan Qing, but he is arrogant towards Yan Zhen. Yan Zhen was very uncomfortable with being trampled on the head by an illiterate person at first, and thought about leaving the Bright Decoration Company several times, but Yan Zhen knew that if he couldn't even stand this kind of anger, he would be useless wherever he went.
