Long Dan, who returned to the suburbs of Beijing, no longer had the heart to look for a job, and he was bored with the part-time job. Whether it is a large unit or a small company, the whole thing is a place where materialism is rampant and deceitful to me. I may be used to being a boss and can't adapt to this kind of occasion. Let's start a company on my own, and I don't have that strength, Long Dan is depressed all day long, and he soaks in the tavern called "Saddam" every day. Sometimes, fellow villagers sometimes come to accompany him and chat with him. If Qi Meng didn't have time, Long Dan would order two side dishes by himself, drinking beer alone one after another, often when the restaurant was closed, Long Dan would return to his rented house to sleep in a hurry.

One day, Long Dan was drinking alone in the "Saddam" tavern, Qi Meng walked in, and said to Long Dan: "It's easy to find you now, you don't need to call at all, just come to Saddam Hussein", Long Dan saw that Qi Meng was coming, and he didn't get up, so he said to Qi Meng: "Come, do it quickly, I'm alone and it's boring to drink, today is not a weekend, how can you have time to come to me for a drink?" "I came out today to do something for the company, because it was done a long time ago, and I didn't go back. As he spoke, he sat down by himself, and he didn't have to be polite to Long Dan, he asked the waiter for a piece of tableware, took a bottle of cold beer, poured it into the cup, first drank a few sips like thirst, and said to Long Dan: "Brother Long, have you been online recently?" "No," Long Dan said, "I soak in the tavern every day, how can I have time to surf the Internet, besides, what are you doing online?" I don't like online games, and I don't have anyone to talk to, isn't it even more boring? ”。

Qi Meng said: "Recently, there was a news on the Internet, saying that CCTV is going to hold a new media creative competition, and the contestants participating in the competition, as long as they are creative, as long as they are selected for the finals, they can raise venture capital funds." Aren't you bent on starting your own business? Don't want to give it a try? When Long Dan heard this, he came to his senses and said: "I have an idea to make a recruitment website, my recruitment website is different from all the current websites, it is a new form." The current recruitment website is too simple in form, maybe my creativity can be favored by venture capital", Long Dan asked for the online address of the submission. I found an Internet café, opened the address that Qi Meng said, understood the instructions for the competition, returned to the dormitory, and wrote out the creative plan after a day's work.

After writing it, Long Dan made repeated revisions, and asked Qi Meng to give the staff a look, and then sent the manuscript out. 20 days later, the organizing committee of the competition came to inform Long Dan that 14 of the tens of thousands of contestants in the northern division were selected from the tens of thousands of contestants in the northern division, and Long Dan won the seventh place and entered the finals.

On the day of the finals, there were 12 judges from all over the country sitting on the judges' seat, and there were hundreds of guests watching next to them, and it was the turn of the draw, and Long Dan drew the first one, Long Dan had never seen this kind of scene, and he had never seen how others spoke, so he couldn't help but be a little nervous, under the harsh questioning of the judges, Long Dan was not so fluent in answering, and ten minutes later, the sweaty Long Dan walked off the podium. Long Dan himself also felt that his answer was a bit out of place, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to enter the finals. Sure enough, half a month later, the organizing committee of the competition sent a notice to Long Dan. The notice said that Long Dan's project failed to attract the attention of the judges and was not selected for the finals. When Long Dan received the notice, he also smiled bitterly, knowing that he was not prepared and inexperienced, and such a result was inevitable.

In this way, a few months passed, and the thought of homesickness suddenly rose in Long Dan's heart, and a feeling of homesickness shrouded Long Dan's heart. I have been away from home for more than four years, and I still haven't improved at all, and I am still a lonely worker. I thought of my former wife, and I thought of my son who had been absent for a long time. I thought of my previous glory, remembered my flashy years, remembered my carelessness in making friends, remembered my mistakes and failures, and thought about my current self, it has been more than four years since I came out, and I still have achieved nothing. Long Dan's heart was very sour. The failure of the new media creative contest made Long Dan's love even more depressed, and Long Dan was sullen all day long, and a world-weary love was slowly encroaching on Long Dan's thoughts. Since then, Long Dan has gone to the "Saddam" tavern every day, drinking it for a day, getting drunk all day long, the ambitious Long Dan of the past is gone, and Long Dan has gradually become decadent.

That night, Long Dan drank at the Saddam Hotel It was already more than one o'clock in the night, and the bored and lazy Long Dan did not go back to the dormitory, but asked for two bottles of liquor from the tavern, and staggered to Taobao Building, the highest building in the suburbs of Beijing, and took the sightseeing elevator until he came to the sightseeing floor on the top floor. Standing on the highest building in the suburbs of Beijing, at a glance, the stars of the city are in full view, which makes Long Dan have a feeling of drunkenness.

This Taobao building is a place where Long Dan often comes. It is also a major feature of the suburban town of Beijing, and many people come here to stand on the top of this high building and browse the scenery of the city. Every time Long Dan comes here when he is depressed, he wants to have a drink, drink it slowly, and watch the scenery of the city carefully, especially at night, looking from afar, the starry lights are like the Milky Way in the sky, giving people a deep and open feeling.

The business hall on the top of this building is open all night, and there is a layer of glass on it, so you can see the starry sky. There was also glass all around, and it didn't hinder the view, so Long Dan chose a seat on the side and sat down.

Long Dan ordered two more dishes, asked for a few bottles of beer, and then took out the liquor, opened it and poured it into the cup. The reason why Longdan brings its own liquor is because this sightseeing floor does not sell liquor. Because a few years ago, a person got drunk with liquor and jumped off the roof of the more than 50-story building, and since then, the relevant departments have not allowed the sale of liquor on the sightseeing floor.

Long Dan brought his own liquor in, and the waiter didn't care, as long as he spent money to order food, no one wanted to meddle in his affairs. Long Dan first drank two bottles of liquor, drank more than a dozen bottles of beer, stood in front of the glass bed for a long time, and sat down to drink stuffy wine for a while, which made the waiter look very nervous, for fear that Long Dan would not be able to think about it, and jumped from the roof of the more than 50-storey building. Several waiters took turns staring at Long Dan, afraid that Long Dan would accidentally do something stupid.

Although Long Dan had no intention of jumping off the building, he was indeed not in a very good mood. The world-weary feelings are very strong, and he feels that life is hopeless, so he drinks the stuffy wine bottle by bottle, and the two side dishes ordered by Long Dan basically didn't move, but Long Dan didn't know how many bottles of beer he wanted. It was almost dawn, and Long Dan's table was full of empty wine bottles.

Finally, Long Dan fell asleep on the table. The waiter saw that Long Dan was drunk and sleeping on the table, and he didn't bother. After a while, Kung Fu Long Dan fell asleep. The next afternoon, Long Dan woke up and saw that he was sleeping in the dormitory he rented, and he couldn't help but wonder.

I remember drinking and falling asleep on the roof of the sightseeing building, how did I wake up in my room? Could it be that the kind waiter sent himself back, and if you think about it carefully, the waiter will not know where he lives, what's going on? Long Dan sat up as he thought about it.

"You're awake," a familiar voice rang out that he hadn't heard for a long time. "Is it the master's voice?" , Long Dan stood up suddenly, and after a period of dizziness, Long Dan walked out of the room, and there was already an old man with a beard sitting on the sofa in the outer room, but it was not who the master was. Long Dan suddenly felt a surge of hot blood rush to the top of his head, and he felt a sour nose, and hot tears flowed out of his eyes. "Master? Is it really you? Long Dan asked in surprise, and the bearded old man said with a smile: "It's me, who is not me?" Do you have a second master? Long Dan didn't wait for the bearded old man to finish speaking, and immediately pounced, hugged the bearded old man's shoulder and cried.

After a long time, Long Dan stopped crying, and the bearded old man said: "Don't cry, you are dozens of years old adults, your children have grown up, and you are still like a child", Long Dan wiped his tears with his hands, and said with a smile: "Master, I am happy, I thought I would never see the master again", the old man smiled: "You child, are you looking forward to my early death, master, I am still strong, can you see me?" ”。

Long Dan asked strangely, "Master, how did you find me here?" I didn't fall asleep on the roof of the sightseeing building, how did I get back? The old man said, "Do you think I haven't noticed you in a few years?" I am by your side all the time, seeing that your life is okay, I didn't show up to disturb you, knowing that you still have a glimmer of hope, you will not give up this prosperous world, and you can't rest assured that you can cultivate with me. Until recently, I observed that you were depressed and afraid that you would do something stupid, so I had to show up. I followed you to Taobao Mansion last night, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to open it, so I followed it all the way until you got drunk and I brought you back." After listening to the old man's words, Long Dan realized that it was the master who carried him back, and he laughed embarrassedly.
