Chapter 33: Where to go

When we stand at a crossroads in life, we need to decide whether to go left or right, and you have to give up another option when making a decision.

Every day, watching the traffic of this impetuous city, countless people are drowsy in their dying throes. Like a game, the city divides different people into different classes, each with its own rules, and when you can't adapt to the rules, you're doomed to be eliminated.

Leon looked at Nicole's panicked expression and the fragments of the wine glass on the ground, and a smile gradually spread on his face, and then he fell out of control, as if he had won the final victory of the prank, and he fell on the couch and laughed.

Nicole was puzzled at first, and then realized that what he had said earlier was a joke, and for a moment she was so angry that she couldn't help herself. She walked to the door, opened the door, and said angrily, "You can leave now, and don't see each other again." ”

Leon originally wanted to make Nicole happy, but ignored her feelings, and didn't expect her to be so angry. He shook his head helplessly, walked to the door, and pulled Nicole back on the couch. Nicole hugged her shoulders, her anger still lingering, and she looked like she refused to communicate. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been joking around when you're upset, actually... Actually, I just want to make you happy. Leon whispered like a child who had done something wrong.

"Jokes? You know how difficult I am now, and you still treat me like this? Haven't I been a joke in your eyes all along?! Nicole had tears in her eyes, and her expression looked a little sad due to her overexcitement. Leon realized the seriousness of the problem, he slowly approached Nicole and held her hands, the cold touch of his fingers made him feel inexplicably distressed.

"Listen, Nicole. I never meant to laugh at you, let alone take you as a joke. If that's the case, why should I worry about you coming so far to see you? You are the only goddess in my heart at any time, I apologize to you for my words today, if you want me to help you, can you calm down and listen to my plan? ”

Nicole withdrew her hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded. Leon continued: "At the moment, it is not realistic for you to go it alone. If you want, you can come to our company, which has recently seen venture capital move in, and the investor wants to realign and launch an online platform similar to classified information. You also know that we are a recruitment company, with a lot of offline resources and no experience in online operations, you happen to be more professional, but you just change the way, no longer the mode of social platform, what do you think? ”

Nicole lowered her head, wrapped her hands around the pillow, and didn't say a word for a while. This atmosphere made Leon feel a little embarrassed, he paused, cleared his throat and said, "Nicole, as an old friend for many years, I sincerely advise you to give up this project. I know that this is your dream all along, but we can't escape reality, the biggest problem of reality is that if you don't make a profit, you can only sit back and eat. If you have any objections to my words, you can also ask Luo Zhi's opinion. Either way, I'll do my best to help you. ”

Nicole looked up and said thank you softly. After Leon left, Nicole fell into a long entanglement, as a mature professional, of course, she knew that it was pointless to continue like this, but she couldn't abandon her original dream, and after thinking about it, there was still no solution to both worlds. Nicole kept pacing in the living room irritably, and for now, she could only wait for Luo Zhi to come back and hear what he meant......

In the face of the choice, in addition to Nicole, there is also the blue sky. The performance has been at the bottom for several months, and the supervisor has been unbearable with him, and the large order that was originally booked has been lost, but due to the lack of service ability of Blue Sky, it has been lost. On this day, the supervisor called him to the office, and Lan Tian was ready to be counted out, and he was already surprised by the harsh words of the leader. Instead of naked, it is better to ride a donkey to find a horse to mix up the days first, and then talk about it with a basic salary.

Unexpectedly, the director changed his hideous face from the past, he smiled and asked Lan Tian to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with concern: "Lan Tian, is it going well with your girlfriend?" When are you going to get married? Such an amiable attitude flattered Lan Tian, and he was stunned and replied, "Oh...... It's okay, we haven't considered getting married yet, after all, I'm limited now......"

The director nodded, smiled, and said, "Understood, young man, stressful. Especially in Beijing, if nothing else, let's just say that this house, how many people struggle all their lives and can't afford it. So, people sometimes have to be realistic, you see Xiao Li, who left his job before, took his daughter-in-law back to his hometown, and now he has some business, a house and a car, isn't this also a good choice. ”

Lan Tian looked at the director's smiling face, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. He understood the supervisor's voice, and hurriedly said: "I know that my performance has not been good, but please believe me, give me a little more time, I will definitely perform well." ”

The director waved his hand, lit a cigarette, and said leisurely, "Don't get me wrong, I haven't had a good chat with you for so long." Today, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, it is the relationship between friends, you have been in the company for a long time, and your performance is hard enough. However, I really don't think you're a good fit for the industry, so I'm going to persuade you from the perspective of someone who has come before to see if you have a better option. ”

Lan Tian lowered his head, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from his clenched palms. He clearly understood that this interview was an "eviction order", and he was determined not to compromise when there was no alternative, but it didn't seem to make much sense to continue to spend time in the company. After thinking about it, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your advice, I will think about it, and I also hope that you can give me a little time." With that, Lan Tian got up and bowed deeply to the supervisor, turned around and left the office.

When I got home, Yun Duo was cooking in the kitchen, looking at her busy figure and the humble rental house, the blue sky couldn't help but feel sad. In the middle of the night, Lan Tian hugged the clouds and asked softly: "Daughter-in-law, do you like Beijing?" Yun Duo looked up at him and said with a smile: "Of course I like it, I always feel that I can realize all my dreams in Beijing." Lan Tian touched her hair lovingly, and said, "Then if one day, we choose to go back to our hometown, will we be happier?" ”

Yun Duo asked alertly, "Why did you suddenly bring up this topic?" Did something happen? Lan Tian kissed her on the cheek, hugged her back into his arms, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's not early, close your eyes and go to sleep quickly." Listening to the clouds' even breathing, Lan Tian felt uneasy, he didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know how to give the clouds stability and happiness.

Beijing in the middle of the night is like a big net, trapping everyone's dreams and struggles, and perhaps no one knows whether to survive or perish if they escape from the magic net......
