Xiao Man sat back down, staring at my uncertain expression.

She stopped talking, and this cunning woman knew that at this moment my heart was turning upside down, and I might be weighing the gains and losses of various interests.

She knew very well that her revelations were enough to shock me, subvert my opinions, and influence my decision.

Indeed, what the woman said about Lan Gu hurt me very much, and I suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning.

Now the open and secret fighting, the deceit, are all dressed in friendship and love.

What a sad thing to challenge your emotional intelligence bottom line in a grand manner!

I would rather blatantly choose evil than put on the cloak of hypocrisy and be in the company of pretentious, pretentious villains.

I gradually got a little tired of thinking about it, and suddenly I felt an unprecedented sense of distance from everyone around me, and I couldn't even tell the truth from the fake. I don't know if other people's kindness to you is sincere, or if they have other intentions.

This kind of unavoidable and sudden sense of distance from everyone makes people feel completely isolated and at a loss.

I suddenly felt pathetic and tired.

For a long time, even the people I thought were closest to me were actually separated from me by a thick barrier that prevented me from seeing the truth.

Is it just because of profit?

Can profit really make people lose their nature?

"A gentleman in the world, a disease and virtue are not in order"

I thought about it and felt that no matter what the reality is, we still have to make a careful choice, and this society, after all, is evil does not prevail over good, Guangtou Group is a living example, no matter how others treat me, whether it is Ah Hong, or Lan Gu, their own fair and honest handling is always a correct value orientation, they have their own choices, their choices and ideas, I can't change, or even force, the so-called people have their own aspirations, can't help themselves, right?

At the same time, I am keenly aware that even if I really want to participate in the business struggle of the county in the future, I must find the best time, definitely not now, everything is still unclear, and a few pieces of information are far from enough.

And whether it is Xiao Man, Xiao Wei, or even Lan Gu, who has begun to move, is not necessarily the best partner.

Thinking about it, my mind became clearer and clearer, and my thoughts gradually became clearer.

Xiao Man couldn't sit still on the side, she saw that I hadn't said anything, and she was a little anxious.

"Big country boss, you have something to say, what do you think? The next step is to do it or not to do it? ”

I raised my head and said lightly: "Thank you for providing me with so much information, and thank you for trusting me, looking up to me, and hoping to work with me." ”

The woman listened to me, and her face was beaming with joy.

"You mean we can join forces together?"

I laughed, this woman still doesn't have many brains, and working with her is destined to be a tragedy.

"I'm used to being alone, and I'm sloppy in doing things, and I don't like to find a partner, I'm sorry, although your conditions are very good, but I'm afraid I can't cooperate with you for personal reasons!"

Xiao Man was full of expectations, but my refusal made her a little annoyed, and she chopped her foot hard.

"Don't regret it, I still have a lot of things, a lot of secret details I haven't told you, are you sure you do it alone? Can you figure out the guys in the county? ”

She didn't seem to be dead yet, hinting to me that she still had a lot to say to me.

"No, you're wrong, I still said to you just now, I won't participate in the business competition in my hometown county, so your resources, although they are very valuable, are really of little value to me, I'm sorry!"

With that, I stood up and prepared to leave.

"I saw the wrong person, it turns out that you are a coward with no ambitions!" , Xiao Man's face was bruised, and she looked desperate.

"You'll regret it!"

I ignored her and walked out of my seat, feeling down.

It felt like the body had been hollowed out, fluttering, like a hollowed-out body.

This unexpected visit to the woman's message made me doubt my emotional beliefs.

Yes, whether it is Ah Hong or Lan Gu, now for me, they are all people from another world.

In my state, what fighting spirit and lofty ideals are I talking about?

I smiled wryly at Xiao Man.

"You're right, I'm a person with no ambitions, and now I'm living in a daze, and I need time to figure out a lot of things."

"Okay, you figured it out, feel free to contact me!" The woman shouted at me from behind.

There was still some expectation in her words.

......

I don't know how I got back to where I lived, and my mind was in a constant mess as I drove home.

Now, he is truly alone.

I wanted to find someone to drink, but I found that I didn't even have a drinking buddy.

I want to find someone to talk to, but Lan Gu's club has now become a tiger's den in Longtan in my consciousness, and I am afraid to avoid it.

I was depressed, and the more I thought about it, the more sad I became.

When I got home, I sat quietly on a chair on the balcony of my home, not knowing what to do.

It was getting dark.

Outside the window, the lights are on, and the streets of Beijing are full of people coming and going.

I stood up and looked at the bustling crowd downstairs, and suddenly I felt the urge to cry.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang.

I saw that the caller was Lan Gu's number.

After hesitating for a long time, I still didn't have the courage to answer.

Let it ring on the sidelines.

I don't know how long I sat alone in the dark.

My stomach began to rumble.

"Shall I eat something?" ，

"If you're alone, you still have to live."

I said to myself, then put on my coat and prepared to go downstairs.

At this time, the phone rang again.

I looked at the caller number and thought about it for a long time, but finally got through.

"Big country, where have you been, why haven't you answered the phone all the time?" On the other end of the phone, Lan Gu's tone was the same as usual, gentle and considerate, full of concern.

"I didn't go anywhere, I spent the afternoon with a fellow countryman." , I calmed down for a long time and replied lightly.

"Fellow, which fellow? How come I've never heard you say that? Lan Gu's tone was a little unusual.

"Yes, I only contacted her today, and she came to Beijing to talk to me about something." I said tentatively, thinking about how to tell her.

"Who?"

"Xiao Man."

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a blind beep on the other side of the phone.

This was expected.

Lan Gu Bingxue is smart, I don't know, how will she feel if she expresses it like this?!

When I put down the phone, my heart felt like I had been pricked by a needle, my stomach spasmed, and the thought of wanting to eat just now seemed to be eaten by the sad thought of an instant.

All of a sudden, I had no appetite.

Throwing away the mobile phone, a person staggered downstairs like a drunk, and started the car.

After sitting in the car for a while, I remembered a drinking friend I had just met some time ago.

The old man in that special tavern should still be there, right?

I was deeply impressed by the experience of having a good conversation with a wise old man.

I haven't been to his place for dinner in a long time.

"Go find him!"

The car drove slowly, but it was still where it came to terms quickly.

Surprisingly, a large-character signboard with "Transfer" at the entrance of the tavern was particularly glaring.

I parked the car and walked to the door.

There was a knock on the door.

After a long time, a chubby bald head came out of it.

He looked me up and down, and asked in a rough and rough Beijing accent, "What are you doing, are you in trouble?" ”

I politely said to him: "Brother, I am a friend of the owner of this small hotel, I haven't been here for a long time, I was outside just now, looking at how this store has been transferred?" What about this shopkeeper? ”

"Shopkeeper? He's dead! ”

The fat man replied very simply.

"Dead?" I was taken aback.

"Why not, I was drinking with him last month."

I was startled by the sudden message, and my voice trembled.

The fat man's face was gloomy and he looked at me again.

"Aren't you a friend of the old man, why are you gone, you don't even know wow?!"

I was a little aggrieved, and suddenly remembered that I really didn't have much friendship with the old man.

It's just a drink together and a sad old story.

I nodded at the fat man, indicating that I really didn't know.

The fat man didn't care anymore, and stood at the door and told me what had happened.

"The old man is very pitiful, he has no children and no daughters, he died of a cerebral hemorrhage, very suddenly, he didn't even leave a will, and I, the landlord, are unlucky enough." The fat man muttered.

"The rent was confiscated a few, and I had to give him a plan for the future, but fortunately, the matter has passed."

"He doesn't have any relatives or friends, and you're the first person to come to him."

After all, the chubby face was like a pile of dark clouds, and it was obvious that arranging the funeral for his tenant made him very unhappy, but he had to do it.

My head was buzzing for a long time, and I didn't fully hear the last few words of the fat landlord.

"People are gone!?" , I was full of emotion.

Turning around and walking to his car, he sat in the car and was stunned.

"Now, there's really no place worth going." When I think of this, I can't help but feel a little hopeless.

The tavern owner is such a good person, and suddenly he said that he was gone.

Life is so fragile.

Such an amorous person, who has persevered for love all his life, finally met the love of his life in the old place.

However, they did not stay together.

The situation after leaving was so bleak, and it was a stranger who helped take care of the aftermath.

What kind of sorrow is this?

What is more important in life besides life and death?

I sat in the car, thinking about what happened to me for the day, and I felt like I was lost.

What is the point of fighting and fighting, if life does not bring death and does not bring away?

The matter of the small shop owner seems to make me feel a different life realm from another angle.

"People still can't be too negative, and those who live still have to live well."

"Can't be too negative."

I cheer myself up.

Find something to do, entertain yourself, and change your mood.

"Give yourself a vacation, go to Tibet again to take a look, the road I walked with Lin Xueer last time has been haunting my dreams, and it is still very nostalgic."

Thinking of this, I started the car and slowly drove out into the street.

On the bustling streets, the car gradually became like a speck of dust, and after a while, it was annihilated in the hustle and bustle of the capital.
