12 Hope

In this semi-professional software, there are actually many hidden masters.

Among them, there is a master, whose chess strength is not much different from Yang Zheng, but his game strength is extremely unstable.

Sometimes he is as steady as Tarzan, and even if he is at a disadvantage, he will keep up with his opponents step by step. But he also sometimes has a big advantage and ends up winning with a lot of difficulty because he "gets carried away".

When Yang Zheng first met him in the chess software, he was shocked by his whimsical way of playing chess.

Playing against him, Yang Zheng benefited a lot, and on the way to play against him, he inexplicably felt the fun of chess.

Although they have played less than ten games, Yang Zheng can see that the opponent opposite is an extremely persistent person, if it is not a persistent person, he will naturally not specialize in the "leftovers" on the chessboard.

Generally persistent people, the reality often has a lot of achievements.

But Wu Dongxi seems to have difficulty in achieving anything in this life.

Although he is very persistent, whether it is chess or life, as long as he believes in a dead reason, even if he breaks through the south wall, he will not look back.

But this persistent temperament not only did not make him achieve anything in real life, but also made him a man who was regarded as weird in the eyes of others.

He is thirty-five years old this year, and in his thirty-five years of life, it seems that he has only done three things.

That is, cleaning, reading, playing chess.

Because of his tall stature, his hands and feet were diligent and other reasons, Wu Dongxi was unanimously voted by the school's teachers and classmates as soon as he entered the school, and became the most cordial and unlikable - the labor commissar.

After graduating from the first grade of primary school to graduating from university, he did not engage in high-paying jobs such as programmers after graduation, but continued to work as a "labor commissioner" cleaner.

It's not because he doesn't have a good professional knowledge, or because he likes to clean. But that year coincided with the economic crisis, the employment environment for college students across the country was not good, he was anxious to find a stable job to repay the four-year student loan of the university, and he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he also became the cleaning of a large enterprise by mistake.

And this cleaning, he has been honest and sincere for ten years.

During this decade, he fully interpreted the four big words "waste of resources".

His parents once regarded him as hope, and he was also very competitive to stand out in a not-so-famous high school in his hometown town and become the top student in the town's college entrance examination.

Although this college entrance examination champion is a bit watery, only more than 20 points in a book, it can also be seen that Wu Dongdong is a smart and diligent good boy.

But in this world, the most important thing is a smart and diligent good child, Wu Dongxi, who came to the big city, looked at the prosperity he had never seen before, he seemed to be only confused.

The colorful neon signs, the Mandarin that made him feel inferior, and the strangeness in the air made him bow his head inadvertently.

He worked hard in four years of college because he wanted to look up again and look at the sky that he had never dared to look at.

Scholarships, part-time jobs, student unions, these seemingly glorious pasts, after he graduated, can only become a beautiful memory occasionally.

Campus and workplace are two different places, and everyone on campus can easily hide their shortcomings and "wantonly" to amplify their shining points.

In the workplace, no matter how you try to hide, time will always inadvertently magnify your shortcomings and deliberately forget your strengths.

Wu Shixi would always think of his hometown every tired night, recalling the beautiful mountains, the clear water and the good times in his memory, but when he raised his head tiredly, he could only see the gray starlight above his head.

Cleaning is not a long-term job, especially for young people, it can be a wordless torture.

But Wu Dongshi doesn't feel that it is torture, because in this strange big city, survival is the first problem to be solved.

The cleaning can be fed and lived, and there are still 4,000 yuan a month. He also doesn't smoke or drink, and in addition to repaying a student loan of 1,000 yuan a month, he can send 2,000 yuan to his family.

After the student loan was repaid, Wu Dongxi had a lot more money, and he also found an expectation of his own, that is, at the end of every month, he would go alone to eat a small self-service hot pot of 60 yuan.

It was his happiest moment, and it was one of the few moments he could feel happy.

He works diligently, with a smile that can't be blown away every day, and he doesn't look forward to the future, but he just feels that the current life, although there is not much hope, at least makes him feel as if he has integrated into this strange big city.

Ten years of cleaning has also made his social experience basically zero, he doesn't seem to need friends, he doesn't need love, and he basically doesn't participate in class reunions.

However, gold will always shine, he has been a cleaner for ten years, and his colleagues around him have changed one after another, as if only he is eternally sticking to his post.

His leaders have also changed batch after batch, and every leader who took office was downgraded with resentment, and they also felt that it was a kind of torture in the face of this hopeless position.

Wu is used to silence, and he is also used to the people around him stopping and walking, just like this big city, the wanderers who stay are often people who are as silent as him.

But when he was thirty years old, he met a leader who could be said to have changed his life, a leader who was about to retire without children, no house, no car, although this old man was about to leave the workplace where he had worked for a lifetime, but his face was not sad at all, but full of warm smiles.

He is also the same as himself, a drifter who drifted north, his luck is not too good, he has worked all his life, and he has only mixed into a small leader, not to mention that he is now downgraded to this hopeless position, but he is still proud of his life.

This also made Wu Dongdong, who had no hope, feel curious, because he had never been proud of himself, and living in his eyes was just a tool to smooth out his edges and corners, he couldn't find his own direction at all, and lived a passable life.

And this leader seemed to see his doubts, he didn't answer them on the spot, but one afternoon, he pulled Wu Dongxi to play a game of chess.

Wu Dongxi can't play chess, and his parents have told him since he was a child that everything else is a plaything except studying.

But he also knows the rules of chess, but there is a difference between what he knows and what he actually does.

His old leader, chess strength is nothing in his eyes now, but at that time, it was an insurmountable mountain.

The old leader never plays cards according to the routine, and even the general only uses an inconspicuous kid like "Bing" to go to the general.

At that time, Wu Dongxi thought that the old leader was letting him, but later he learned that the old leader would only use this set of chess moves.

Just like the lives of the two of them, it seems dull and there is no expectation.
