Section 8 Man is born free, but he is always in bondage

In a courtyard on the seashore, the sound of laughter drowned out most of the whispers. It was a daily compulsory course for a group of tireless people, round after round of shouting, manic, boasting, endless tossing, wandering, and hustle. These young and innocent bodies squander their own absurd youth with alcohol and ~~ efforts every day. This leisure time relaxes the body and mind of each of us, but it also exposes the true nature of many people,—— who are really enjoying their time.

I lay quietly in the rocking chair without moving, my peaceful face glowing with a faint soft light, no joy or sorrow. I don't want to belong to them and will never be them.

Dalian is a beautiful city, full of humanity. The traffic is drawn in circles along the circular lane of Xinghai Square; The frontispiece of the large page is full of people taking pictures; The gentle waves chase the wings of wild gulls; I- Listen to the wind!!

I love the wind, the clouds, the sea and the sand, the sails, the reefs, the anglers are so poetic; I let my emotions go to the fullest, I wander aimlessly along the plank road of the Corniche every day, and when the tide rises, I will even climb to a high place and shout in the wind against the warm sea; - These alone times are also the time I enjoy the most.

On the last day of the Dalian holiday, I went shopping on the Russian style street, and when I turned around at the end of the street, a set of Russian-style military telescopes aroused my interest.

Before I could ask the price, the boss of the shrewd philistine leaned in front of him, and he picked up his glasses and handed them to me while adjusting the focus: "Lao Ruzi's things, the quality is very good, try it." I hesitated and didn't answer.

"Come, try, can I bear you?" He was in a hurry, grabbed my hand, sent the camera to my eyes, and then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed into the distance: "You see, take a look, there is a surprise."

Confused, I picked up the binoculars and followed his fingers.

blue square-framed glasses, short burgundy neck-length hair flying in the wind against Muyang; a yellow cardigan on the half-open chest; The hemp green-tailed skirt dances gently with the rhythm of the footsteps; The black leather boots briskly kicked the bluestone on the street closer and closer, white and tender. It was pitch black.

I lowered my glasses and held my little hand covering the camera in some embarrassment.

"Is it pretty?" A girl who looked like a person in a picture asked me with a smile on the small mole at the corner of her mouth.

"Uh, it's good-looking, it's good-looking", my heart was flustered like a deer crash.

"Where does it look good"? She asked again.

"Everywhere, it's beautiful!" I had a bit of a short-circuit in my brain, so I had to tell the truth.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?" She stared at my face and continued to ask.

"I... Uh, no" In the face of such sharp dialogue from the girl, I wanted to dodge for the first time.

"I won't let go without you". The girl twitched slightly, and was teased by my clenched hands.

"I...

The dialogue stuck, and I let go of my hand, caught in a brief embarrassment. I looked at her, I wanted to apologize but I didn't know where to start, I wanted to say something else, but I didn't think it was appropriate. Maybe she also felt a little abrupt just now, and she was embarrassed to turn her face, and a hint of shame appeared on her face.

"Hey, I said two, don't look at each other, if you want to talk in detail, you can continue later, whether you want to buy glasses or not, you have to give a sentence first", the stall owner teased us while unseemly.

"Buy," I affirmed.

The heartbeat without thinking is like a daydream that does not want to extricate itself.

Everyone you meet in life, the order of appearance is really important, many people if they meet at another time, maybe just passers-by, some people you are right there, maybe it's a lifetime. She is the one I am willing to stay with for the rest of my life!!

Coming out of the Russian style street, the excitement in my heart has not subsided, and I must admit that at the moment in the camera, she has captured me with her beautiful and straightforward, elf and elegant; It's lethal to me.

When she finished shopping and walked back, I pretended to happen to meet her on the street, even though my eyes never left her back.

She didn't seem surprised at all, and before I could speak, she raised the M-shaped crystal pendant she had just bought in her hand and asked me, "Do you know what kind of zodiac sign this lucky charm is?" ”

I'm blinded, and it's a short-circuit problem again; I haven't started yet, but I didn't expect her to give me another dismount. I have never been involved in constellations, which belong to the knowledge blind spot,

Fortunately, it is not the first time to be embarrassed, my eyes rolled, and I said: "From the perspective of metaphysical theory, the attributes of constellations can change at any time, since you and I got acquainted, this world has undergone a lot of changes, and the truth you know may not be right, not to mention that the things you just bought have not yet formed a magnetic field with you, and it is not easy to say whether it is a lucky charm."

She pursed her lips and sneered, "Are you men all like this, you don't understand anything, and you like to pretend to be serious nonsense."

I stroked the back of my head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Well, not really, I'm really not familiar with constellations, I still have some insights in terms of metaphysics, and there is something in common between them," I argued. Then he added to the story: "Don't you talk to girls about what you're good at!" ”

"So you're talking to a lot of girls, right?" She seized on the loophole in my speech.

"Of course not, you're the first, and I only say that to pretty girls," I glammed.

She looked at me in disbelief, and then, as if she had found something, asked, "Southerners?" ”

I was taken aback: "How do you know?"

"Northerners generally don't talk about girls like that, it's too rare to follow you for a long time and hide nonsense, the boys here don't have that patience, they will directly block the girl on the street and ask for a phone number."

I breathed a sigh of relief, but secretly rejoiced in my heart: It's good, at least she doesn't reject me.

"Can I know you, then?" I asked happily.

"Don't we already know each other?" She asked rhetorically.

"I mean, I want to be friends with you" I was a little bit aggressive.

She stopped talking, that is, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. I noticed that she had a good impression of me, and my mood suddenly relaxed a lot. We tacitly followed Renmin Road all the way to the east, and then we really began to sell metaphysics and talk nonsense in a serious way. I enjoyed this happy time, but at the same time I wondered that the excitement of talking to her today was like boiling water, which was not in line with my personality.

It wasn't until the lights came on and the reflection of the sailboat on the harbor bridge covered the neon lights flashing in front of the old mother in the imperial city, that I suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask her name and forgot to think about where to go. He plucked up the courage to twist and said to her; "Why don't I treat you to a meal, I'm leaving tomorrow."

She stopped, a glint flashing in her crystal eyes, and blinked her eyes lightly in surprise. Frowning and thinking about it, he took the phone from my hand and pressed a string of numbers, then took out the crystal pendant from his arms and handed it to me.

"I'll keep you for next time, bye-bye!" She wisely gave me the choice and walked away with full of expectations.

"Hey, I'll come to you next time!" I waved and shouted at her distant back.

She didn't look back, the figure gradually faded away, and my heart went with her...

"Goodbye, beloved. I have come to the moon because you are in the mountains! ”

After returning from vacation, the Technopark is as calm as ever, but the atmosphere in the lounge is particularly noisy. The group's listed company has completely exploded in the Science and Technology Park, and all employees know that our company's industry is about to be listed on the backdoor Muyang shares. The popular lounge has now become the main battlefield for everyone to share and communicate, and many people express various opinions here every day, and it is inevitable that there will be disputes and discussions when encountering disagreements. Then shake hands and drink together; Or go their separate ways to find new arguments and fight again. Some people regret that they didn't ask the well-informed people for the news earlier, so that they could "get in the car" in advance and make a handful of money that became rich overnight. There are also more people who have begun to discuss which of the current company's electronics industry or pharmaceutical companies has more advantages in terms of development prospects, and can bring the halo of a listed company to their own department. Those with some analytical skills and investment experience began to analyze the financial data and industry position of the two companies in order to give a reasonable valuation expectation of the company's stock price, and even looked forward to the future of the illusory employee stock ownership option plan.

Zhu Yu used to be an old employee of the company's securities department, so many years with colleagues in various departments more or less have some friendship, this time as an employee of the company to participate in our work transactions, now almost every day someone invites him out to eat and chat, want to find out some news through him. I, on the contrary, did not officially join the company, I can only be regarded as a private soldier who follows Mr. Xiao, no one knows me, and few people pay attention to me.

When I was on vacation, I learned that Mr. Xiao had arranged for teams in several cities to carry out similar work to us. Most of them don't know more than I do, and they all make their own plans and listen to their own instructions. Even in order to avoid leaving traces, the popular algorithmic ordering, programmatic software, and sub-account systems are rarely used.

Tang Feng was on a business trip with his boss, and Situ Yue and Wen Xiaoxia were the few people who knew that I was working with Mr. Yao, and they asked me to go to the company's canteen the next day after I came back. When we met, I unexpectedly saw that there was a strange man with a familiar face with them.

"Hongyi, you have a good time going out this time," Wen Xiaoxia, who had not yet sat down, greeted warmly in her unique Cantonese Mandarin, this time she was very measured, and did not ask about stocks in a simple greeting. Unfortunately, I didn't hear it very clearly.

"Of course, Mr. Xiao has always been a big spender, and he won't be allowed to come back if he can't enjoy it. Alas, I'm really envious, I also want to go out for a few days," Situ Yue sighed.

"You can all go out and play, and the side will intercept you." Wen Xiaoxia retorted with a sour taste.

"You guys are more familiar than me here, do you have any good food to recommend? I'm in for a treat", I interrupted them and pushed over with the menu.

"Hmm, Secretary Wu, you can order it" Situ Yue handed the menu directly to the man next to him. Then he seemed to remember something, pointed at me and him and said, "Let me introduce to you, Chen Hongyi, classmate Tang Feng, now do things with Mr. Xiao; Wu Zhishan, General Secretary Jiang".

I got up and stretched out my hand to look at him, and suddenly remembered that it was no wonder that it was so familiar, the person who looked at my badge that night was him, Tang Feng found out that he did not let me join, and he was the one who gave me a "troublemaker" behind his back, he probably knew that the contradictions between us were irreconcilable, nodded to me, and did not want to stand up. I withdrew my outstretched hand.

"I'll please try the signature dish, I'm familiar with the restaurant manager. There are a few dishes that are usually prepared for the leaders, and they can't be eaten even if they have money" Secretary Wu did not accept the menu, and said in Mandarin with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, as if he deliberately wanted to show his identity.

"Hey Ye, I know you're amazing," Wen Xiaoxia muttered on the side, looking disdainful.

Situ Yue and I were noncommittal and didn't speak.

"I'll go find the manager," Wu Zhishan got up and walked towards the service desk.

"Don't you mind. He is this virtue," Situ Yue said apologetically to me as he walked away. She should have known from Tang Feng about the festival between me and Secretary Wu, and the lack of introduction at the beginning just now is probably the reason. It's just that I had to introduce each other when I saw that he was sticking and didn't leave.

"It's okay, I should thank him, otherwise I would have had the opportunity to learn from Mr. Xiao." I rounded up and diverted the topic and asked, "By the way, when will Tang Feng reply?" ”

"I don't know, they've been busy lately, I haven't seen him in a week."

"Actually, he worked quite hard" Thinking of Tang Feng's helplessness, I helped him speak well in front of Situ Yue.

"I know, he's been working hard, hey!! I also hope he succeeds," Situ Yue's tone was a little gloomy.

"Did he tell you anything?" I asked tentatively.

"Say what? Working? He told me that I don't have any requirements for him, just be happy, and I believe he can succeed." She said with confidence.

I looked at her firm expression, and I was happy for Tang Feng from the bottom of my heart; It is a great blessing to be able to get the favor of such a beautiful and kind girl as Situ Yue, and I only hope that they can go to the end smoothly.

"People are born free, but they are always in chains", I suddenly sighed.

"This is an excerpt from you, right? It shouldn't be at all right" Situ Yue heard the taste and was dissatisfied with my emotion.

I smiled and didn't refute.

"What are you talking about?" Wen Xiaoxia looked at the two of us inexplicably on the side.

"It's nothing," Situ Yue and I looked at each other and smiled.
