Chapter Seventy-Five: Where is the Other?

Daichi and I walked along the street for a while.

The rain was falling, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

We found a café nearby and sat in a window position.

Dazhi ordered two cups of hot drinks, and he and I looked at the hurried pedestrians outside the window, thinking about our respective troubles, we were both depressed, and we were speechless for a while.

After a while.

Dazhi was the first to break the silence.

"Big country, I've been thinking about it for a while lately, and I have a decision I want to talk to you about. Actually, when you came to the office in the morning, I was thinking about how to tell you about my decision. ”

I looked at him and felt that his expression was solemn.

"I want to leave Beijing completely!"

Dazhi's words surprised me again.

"Why? What does it mean to leave Beijing completely? ”

I still didn't quite believe such a sudden turn of events, and I looked at him, hoping I had heard it wrong.

"I'm serious."

Dazhi emphasized again.

"Why? Isn't it good for you to live in Beijing now? ”

"I want to go back to the provincial capital." , Dazhi sighed.

"I don't think I have any nostalgia for Beijing now."

"I will transfer all my real estate in Beijing to you, you give me cash, I need funds, go back to the provincial capital to start a business."

I don't trust my ears.

He looked at him in astonishment, not knowing how many layers his words meant.

"You mean, you don't cooperate with me anymore and want to go back to the provincial capital to work alone? What are you going to do? ”

Dazhi smiled bitterly.

"Don't get me wrong, big country, in fact, our brothers have been following your ideas for so many years, and I have had the idea of returning to the provincial capital for a long time, and Beijing is really not suitable for me."

"I've lived here for so many years, and in the end I still have nothing."

Dazhi's mood is a little abnormal.

"You see, I don't have a hukou in Beijing, I don't have social security in Beijing, I have a little money, and the consumption in Beijing is so high, I don't know what life will be like when I can't do it one day."

"The air quality in Beijing has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and I don't like it."

"There is no human touch between people in Beijing, and I don't like it even more."

"I'm not from Beijing, I'm a North Drifter, and when I have children in a few years, it will be a problem for my children to go to school, so what's the point of me still here?"

He said a bunch of things that are wrong in Beijing, as if all his misfortunes are inseparable from life in Beijing.

I glared at him and listened to his nagging statements, the first time in a long time that I had heard such a statement from Dazhi.

Is Beijing bad?

I asked myself.

What would all our current achievements look like without Beijing?

In the county seat, we almost lost all our money, and we were played like monkeys by others, where is there any fairness?

Can you find a fairer place to do business than Beijing's external conditions?

I can't help but be skeptical.

"Okay, buddy, let's not talk about Beijing, you can tell me what you are doing back to the provincial capital first?"

I interrupted Dazhi and tried to convince him to give up his fantasies from another angle.

"I haven't figured it out yet." He replied crisply.

"Count me in, whatever you do." I looked him in the eye.

"We are the best partner!"

Dazhi dodged my gaze.

"Not this time, big country, really not, I want to do something on my own and prove myself."

His refusal was firm and non-negotiable.

"Are you still in our industry? I think you can transfer some of the company's main forces to help you. I want to change the way or keep him.

"No, no, I know what you think, big country, thank you, really, you are my best brother, but, this time I can be sure that I will definitely not do our industry again, so, the company's resources, I don't want anything."

"However, I need money at the moment, and I only need money, to exchange my property for capital. All my properties in Beijing are sold to the company at the current market price, if you don't want it, I will find someone else to take over. He looked at me with a determined look in his eyes.

I understand that once he decides something, he can't change it.

Looking at his resolute demeanor, I was heartbroken.

I vaguely knew the reason for his resolute departure from Beijing.

But this way of leaving was a little difficult for me to accept for a while.

"You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, I understand your current mood, you can rest for half a month first, and we'll talk about this later, okay?" , I persuaded him softly.

Perhaps time will heal his current emotional wounds, and it will also make his strong personality less distinct.

"No, big country, you are wrong, this time I have completely thought about it, I finished the affairs in Beijing, and I am ready to go out and walk around, spend half a year walking around, and by the way, spend half a year thinking about what I will do in the second half of my life, but now the decision to quit the company and leave Beijing is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and you don't need to persuade me anymore."

With that, he stood up, as if encouraged by his decision, and the new life he was about to embark on regained a passion he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Thank you for your support and encouragement to me over the years, big country, I'm really leaving, maybe we will see each other next time, not necessarily in a provincial capital, but on a certain street in a completely unfamiliar city, like just now, we walk side by side again."

As he spoke, he became a little inexplicably excited.

I was overwhelmed by the fact that he was so polite to me all of a sudden.

I looked at him in a panic, this was not at all the image of Dazhi that I was familiar with.

"Bless me, I have actually put the real estate under the name of the company, and I also know that the company does not have so much funds for a while, you can look at it, just transfer it to me in several parts, in fact, I said to you just now, if you don't take my house, I will go to someone else, it is a joke with you." , Dazhi said, his eyes were shining, and his eyes were a little flickering.

"Doing real estate is your profession and expertise, brother, I want to put my little old capital, in the hands of the most professional person, but also let me be the most assured person."

"I'm leaving Beijing today, don't contact me in the near future, I want to be alone and quiet."

"You're leaving, why do we have to have a casual bar?"

I'm a little pleading.

"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed", but we are brothers!

"No, I'm afraid I can't help but change my mind!"

"Wine, we will have a chance to drink it in the future!"

With that, he left his seat and strode to the door.

It's still raining outside.

"Where are you going?" I looked at his back, and I couldn't help but choke up and feel sad.

A sense of despair about the loss of a dear friend spreads throughout my body, and the pain in my heart cannot be described in words.

I know that this is the most personal place of Dazhi, and after he leaves this time, maybe we will meet again I don't know when.

He heard my shout, waved his hand, and didn't look back.

"Brother, I'm leaving, you don't want your mother-in-law, hurry back to the company to work!"

After that, he did not hesitate to burrow into the rain and mist.

Soon, it disappeared into the bustling crowd on the streets of Beijing.
