After Yang Zheng, who finished eating, said hello to Lao Zhang in the back kitchen, he left in a hurry.

The moonlight tonight is very light, as dim as Yang Zheng's mood.

As he walked home, his steps getting heavier.

The roadside is quiet at night, the streets are bustling during the day, and there are not many passers-by at eleven o'clock at night.

The occasional pedestrian, most of them with their heads down, dragged their tired bodies slowly.

Life is tiring and bitter, but on their faces it is very flat, they seem to be used to it, and they are also like numbness.

Yang Zheng looked at the numb pedestrians who passed by him, and he was helpless and bored to find a step to sit down.

In a trance, he thought back to the past.

Once upon a time, he liked the capital at night.

Because of the silence, relaxation, and because after a busy day, the mood becomes full because of work.

Although he had thought more than once that the definition of home was a place to sleep, he also felt that kind of life, even the smell of the air was uplifting.

The meaning of life lies in continuous struggle.

These are the words of a university professor who had never understood this sentence when he was young, and who at one time thought that the professor was speaking falsely.

But as he grew older and saw different worlds, he suddenly felt that life might be like what the professor said.

In the struggle, find proof of your own life.

And now, Yang Zheng, who is idle, seems to be unable to find evidence of his existence.

Whether it's chess, Go, e-sports, sports.

When he was a child, it was considered an "industry" that was not proper and could not be produced.

is also because of not doing business, these things have become a representative of the playthings in the mouths of parents.

But twenty years later, these things suddenly changed their identities and became "honors" and "seals".

I have to say that the change of concept in this era is almost a day a day.

It also seems that what was defined yesterday can be overturned today.

Many people, in this era, will always be lost.

Because they can't tell whether their own concepts are in line with the concepts of the times.

There are also many children for him, young teenagers, who look at this world that is constantly changing.

Their definition of dreams is constantly changing.

I have to say that this is a good era, but also an era full of opportunities.

No matter what industry you are engaged in, even if it was the least recognized physical industry twenty years ago, on the Internet, under the filter, and in your hard work, it can become the light in the eyes of countless ordinary people.

He sat on the steps, not wanting to think about life, just looking up at the moon and numbly killing time.

Tonight's moon is not only faint, but also round. But in any case, tonight's moon gave Yang Zheng an unprecedented taste of freedom.

However, it is precisely because of this long-lost, free taste that Yang Zheng has to admit that he is no longer young.

After all, for an adult, there are many definitions of freedom, such as financial freedom, medical freedom, freedom in love, children's freedom to study, and so on.

But the most basic freedom for adults is that an adult can choose how to spend or spend his or her rest time.

This is also his life insight.

"Dude, is there a fire?"

When Yang Zheng was immersed in the night, a clear voice came from his side.

Although Yang Zheng has quit smoking for a long time, he is still used to carrying a lighter with him.

"Yes, you wait a minute."

Yang Zheng skillfully took out the lighter and handed it over.

"Thank you, buddy... How are you..."

The person who spoke had just taken the lighter handed by Yang Zheng, but then he looked at Yang Zheng and was stunned.

And Yang Zheng looked at his appearance, and his heart was calm.

"Long time no see."

Yang Zheng greeted calmly, and the person in front of him was the rich second generation who had quit him before.

Although there may be a huge wealth gap between the two. But Yang Zheng, who had already left his job, felt that the relationship between the two of them should be an equal relationship at this time.

"yes, long time no see."

The rich second generation also slowly calmed down, he sat directly on the nearby steps, half-jokingly handed over a cigarette and said, "Go one?" ”

This familiar tone also made Yang Zheng laugh.

When he was in college, he had a good relationship with the rich second generation, and the two often went to walk outside the dormitory at night after they became addicted to smoking.

But the times have changed, and since the relationship between the two has become a superior, the two have rarely said anything like this.

"How are you doing?"

The rich second generation watched Yang Zheng take the cigarette, and he didn't know why he was much lighter in his heart.

"Okay, I'm going to get a new job." Yang Zheng did not light the cigarette for the first time, but said his thoughts a little melancholy.

"Looking for a new job?"

After the rich second generation said this, he suddenly remembered the gossip that Yang Zheng had offended a big company, and he had mixed feelings for a while.

"Well, I'm going to be a programmer again."

"Programmer... Ay... This industry..."The rich second generation wanted to say that it is no longer a traditional Internet industry, and the programmer industry is no longer as popular as before.

But thinking of Yang Zheng's previous technique, he swallowed this sentence again.

"Actually, I'm not stupid, and I'm also very researched about market trends."

"The programmer industry is not what it used to be."

"Especially in this environment, programmer talent is likely to be in a state of pushing the back waves of the Yangtze River forward."

The rich second generation was a little surprised, so surprised that he couldn't help but ask: "Since you know, why do you continue to do it?" ”

"We're not young anymore, and even if you do get a job as a programmer, you'll be eliminated by the general environment in three years at most."

"I suggest you get a job in management."

The rich second generation said earnestly: "By the way, did I send your book to read?" ”

"The Weakness of Human Nature?"

"Yes. It was a life-changing book. ”

The rich second generation is very proud to say.

After all, this book is a bestseller at a certain time period, and basically many film and television works use this book as a background.

"I threw it away when I went out." Yang Zheng looked at the proud appearance of the rich second generation, he touched his head and was embarrassed to tell the truth.

"Throw... Thrown? "The rich second generation looked incredible.

Then, he seemed to think of something.

"It's you, you haven't changed at all over the years."

The rich second generation said with a wry smile, and then he looked at Yang Zheng's embarrassed appearance, and laughed again: "Let me tell you a secret." ”

"Actually, I haven't read that book either."
