02 Human World
Yang Zheng seemed to disappear from everyone who knew him well.
Almost everyone who knows Yang Zheng will feel that Yang Zheng is probably not too bad now.
He plays chess very well, has good perseverance and patience, and in this impetuous society, he is more down-to-earth than many people.
If he is in business and starts a business, he will probably be able to make a career of his own with his own down-to-earth.
Even if it is a part-time job, a diligent and honest person, his promotion path will not be too slow.
It's just that there are still many people who will regret that he should show his strength in the chess world, and in this era of chess, he stepped on the wind and became a legend.
But is it really what they think?
……
The ancient city is a small town that is not well known, and in this small city, the pace of life is very slow, almost unbelievably slow.
The ancient city was also glorious for a period of time in the 6.70s, when the materials were not abundant, the ancient city was rich in iron ore resources around it and rumors of suspected oil, which attracted countless speculators and wanderers to live in the north and south for a while.
Large-scale factories with serious pollution, and hotels of various sizes that are convenient to settle down in have also sprung up on this otherwise quiet and plain land.
Excessive exploitation of resources, coupled with patches of agricultural land abandoned for oil exploration, when the resources are exhausted, the heat dissipates, and the oil is unknown, leaving the city with only a piece of chicken feathers after the carnival.
Young people, smart people, rich people, after a short carnival, they looked at this place and realized that it was difficult for this land to have its former glory, and they all left this land one after another to go to a more promising big city.
And the old people, the stupid people, the ordinary people, they looked at the chicken feathers all over the ground, but they didn't leave. Instead, they picked up the chicken feathers, which were originally dirty and cheap, remade them into fertilizer, and sprinkled them into the abandoned fields.
Wu Bufan is such a person, he is in his early thirties, tall and strong, practical and capable, although he is not too smart, but he is definitely not stupid.
But if you insist on saying one of his shortcomings, it is that Wu Bufan especially admits death.
Even he had an extra nickname because of this, called Wu Xuanzi.
To what extent does Wu stunned admit death? Originally, when he was in junior college, he was appreciated by his teachers and internship units because of his diligence and hard work, and he also had the opportunity to stay in the big city, but after thinking about it again, he resolutely decided to return to the small town where he raised himself.
The reason why he decided to go back was only because he had promised his father, who had achieved nothing in his life, that he would get ahead and contribute to the ancient city that his father loved the most.
Wu Xuanzi's father was a person who recognized death like him, and because of admitting death, his father did not have much success in his life.
His father, who was once a steelworker, was hardworking and hardworking, and was the best employee in the factory for four consecutive years, and he also thought that his life would get better and better, just like his father's hard work.
But the reality made a big joke on their family, the factory was reformed, and the first person to be laid off was his hard-working father.
In order to support his family and to be able to give his wife and children a better life, his father decided to go to the big city to make a difference.
When he was still young, his father decided to go to the developed coastal cities, as most young people in the ancient city did at that time.
He also believes that his father will definitely get ahead, and his father has indeed earned money in the past few years. But later, because he believed in others, he borrowed a large amount of money to make a business guarantee for his fellow countrymen, and in the end not only lost all the money he earned in those years, but also owed a lot of debt.
It wasn't until a year before his father's death that the family paid off all their debts.
And his father also saw through life, and when he was dying, in addition to leaving him four big words of down-to-earth, he told him that he must study hard, and when he has a chance, he must build this ancient city that will never dislike "losers".
Wu Suanzi remembered his father's words, although he was not very smart, he also did his best and was admitted to the school he "could".
After graduating, he returned to his hometown and started his own business.
First, he has no education, and second, he has no connections, so he can only choose the catering with the lowest threshold to start a business.
He is a person who can endure hardships, and he is not stupid, combined with the double-line operation of self-media, he received a good response in the early days of entrepreneurship.
When his career gradually entered a stable period, a demolition notice made his carefully managed small shop face the fate of closure.
After looking for a long time, he didn't find a suitable place to open a store, but he became popular on the Internet because of a blessing in disguise.
It turned out that he made a vlog of his experience of looking for a store, which resonated with countless store owners.
But he is also faced with another big choice in his life, is it to continue to open a store? Or maybe you're focusing on the Internet?
Wu was stunned and looked at the crazy rewards after he started the live broadcast and the sky-high signing fee of tens of millions given by the backstage MCN agency.
His persistence from childhood seems to have become worthless under the temptation of money.
After all, 10 million is a wealth that is difficult for the vast majority of Chinese people to have in their hard lives!
When his faith began to waver, his favorite and most admired video maker chose to retire without warning.
This move woke him up like a slap in the face.
It also made him realize that even if he really put all his energy into making short videos, he would eventually one day be like the video author, because of his lack of talent and academic experience, and finally put a lot of time on things he didn't like and lost his original persistence and life.
The right path in the world is always vicissitudes.
It was something his father used to say to him, and he always took it to heart.
Wu was stunned to figure it out, and continued to look for a place to open a new store.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and he opened a new store as he wished.
His store is much smaller than before, and his videos continue to return to the previous dullness because he has found a new store, and he keeps losing fans.
But he didn't care.
Because he already knows what he wants, he already has a goal in life.
The smile on his face gradually increased.
Today is the hundredth day of his store, it is a good day, and before the meal, the store is already half full.
Today is not only a good day, but also a special day.
Because today is the first day of the first amateur chess tournament in the ancient city.
It is also the day that many amateur chess players look forward to the most.
