"Hello?" I was so angry that I didn't look at the number after I took out my phone, and yelled directly.

"Brother, where are you? My car was smashed! Brother Cao said to me with a crying voice.

"I'm the next Olympian! Where are you, I'll go right over. "I'm so angry in my heart, Lao Cao himself is enough to carry it, and the whole family refers to this old brother driving a broken taxi to make a living, what is this Nima going to do?

"I'm here on the June 1st Committee, I'll wait for you to come over." "Okay, I'll go over right away." Speaking of which, my head was no longer dizzy, I jumped out of the car directly, ran towards the hotel, and was catching Wang Lili coming out of it, and the two of us almost bumped into each other.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Lili asked me dissatisfied.

"Lao Cao's taxi is smashed, let's hurry over." I took Wang Lili's hand and threw myself into the car.

"Really? Hurry up, hurry over. Wang Lili's happy voice, even a fool can hear it, because I was in a hurry, I didn't expose it, jumped on the co-pilot, and went directly to Liaoyang.

On the way back, the eighth sister opened her mouth several times, but I glared back. It wasn't until Wang Lili's kind words and persuasion that I restrained my anger and waited for the eighth sister's words.

"Jia Shu, don't be angry, in this country, if you don't have a backstage to do what we do, then even if you have the ability to reach the sky, no one will reuse you all your life." I snorted coldly with my nose, and said that it was still nepotism for a long time, but I was okay with it.

"If you just want to deal with food and clothing, then with your current ability and ability, it is enough, but if you want to enter a higher level of the field, you must choose someone above, or a certain interest group, as your backer, this is the unchanging truth of China for 5,000 years.

Since you know the sloppy Taoist, let's talk about the Taoist family. Of the five ancestors and seven truths recorded in history, which one do you think was feathered into an immortal? It was all praised by the emperor at that time, the so-called situation creates heroes, and to put it bluntly, public opinion creates individuals.

I like your enthusiasm and strong sense of justice, but those things can't be eaten. We want to live, we want to live more, many times, many things, we can't control, even if we know what the future will be, but we can't change anything. ”

Seeing that I bowed my head and was silent, the eighth sister continued with a wry smile: "Do you know, in my eyes, you are the kind of fish that is released. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.

"I often see those scenes of release, a group of good men and women sitting on the shore, with fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs waiting to be released in front of them, chanting words in their mouths, as if they are reporting their pledge records to the Buddha. I continued to walk, and a short distance downstream, I would see another group of jubilant men and women, holding various fishing gears, staring at the movement over there, ready to make a big splash at any moment.

It wasn't until this moment that I realized that the Buddha's arrangement was really ingenious, and that a group of fish made two groups of people happy. You are the fish that makes everyone happy, Jia Shu, it's just that sometimes you suffer yourself, but you can't get everyone's understanding. ”

"I don't understand what you mean." The eighth sister actually told me that she was dizzy, which is very rare.

"That is to say, you have the wisdom and ability to achieve a career, but you are cowering in Liaoyang, a place where birds don't, and you are stumbling to the end in order to fulfill your filial piety; You have the idea and talent to change the fate of yourself and others, but you look at everything that happens in the world with self-deprecation, and let the moon go short and the moon is full, and you will not take the initiative to interfere.

So, Jia Shu, wake up, this shijie has changed a long time ago, it's not that you stick to your own beliefs, you can get the understanding of the people around you, your persistence, in this society, is completely useless, understand? ”

To tell the truth, what the eighth sister said is right, I have been sticking to the original wish in my heart, which is the third child's, and it is also mine, and I have never given up. I have a lot of opportunities to be able to rise to the top, and I also know the thick black science of flattery, and I understand the things in the imperial art. But I don't care to be in the same league with those filthy villains, I am me, I am Jia Shu, I bring salt for myself.

The eighth sister wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Lili, "Husband, in your impression, what is success?" ”

In the past, I would use very vivid examples to explain what success is, such as: taking a Saudi salary, living in a British house, using a Swedish mobile phone, wearing a Swiss watch, marrying a Korean woman, giving a Japanese second wife, doing a Thai massage, driving a German car, taking an American plane, drinking French wine, smoking Cuban cigars, wearing Italian leather shoes, watching an Austrian opera, buying a Russian villa, hiring a Filipino maid, with Israeli bodyguards, and being a Chinese cadre.

It is better to say what it means to be rich, for example: no longer talk about how many projects, but several listed companies; No longer ask how many cars, but how many drivers; Buying a house does not ask about the area, but the area of the courtyard; I stopped buying villas and started buying manors; Don't order food when you eat, but order a cook; When you wear clothes, you don't ask the brand, but the tailor of which country; When buying furniture, you don't ask which country it is, but which dynasty it belongs to; Don't look for the girl in front of you, but directly take the remote control board and click on the TV!

When I can't answer Wang Lili's question today, because my dream is still far away, even if the first dream is realized, there will be a second and a third one, and I am afraid that I am constantly realizing different dreams, is this kind of life a success? I do not know.

Seeing that I was silent, Wang Lili said to me gently: "Husband, sometimes, it is not harmful to be appropriately flexible, just to create more material conditions for me, do you think it's okay?" ”

I nodded helplessly, then lit a cigarette and opened the window, letting the cold wind blow through my hair so my brain could calm down.

After smoking a cigarette, I popped the cigarette butt out of the car, turned my head and asked the eighth sister: "Weishenme is him?" The eighth sister just shook her head and didn't answer, but her face was full of helplessness, I sighed, didn't speak, and then asked Wang Lili to drive well.

When the car drove into the Shoushan turntable, I pursed my lips and said to the two girls in the car: "I'm not as good as you think, I'm just a man who can stick to his dreams." I cut my dream into countless points, and I try to achieve one of them every day; Hold on for a few months, and maybe the dots will be connected into a line; Hold on for a few more years, and maybe these lines will form a surface; And then stick to it, and the dream will become a three-dimensional figure.

There is no other meaning when you say this, what you see is my hard work, and my positive side, but you don't see my weakness, I am not as good as you expect, and I am not as high, capable, wise and so on as you say. ”

After a pause, I continued: "Don't think too well of me, I'm also a human being, it's just that I have my own principles and my own bottom line when it comes to certain things. Today, for the sake of my beloved woman, I may agree to the eighth sister for the first time, but in this life, only this once, I don't want to deviate from my original dream, so, after the end of this matter in the Dragon's Lair, I hope that our lives can get back on track and let things return to the way they should be, okay? ”
