Huang Yuntian felt a little puzzled, Xie Han is gone, Ma Ke is also gone, why hasn't Li Fei submitted his resignation yet? I just had to say to him publicly, "Get out!" With his personality, he should be more sensitive and fierce than others. What is he waiting for?

He opened the drawer of his desk, and inside he saw a large brown paper envelope filled with bulging bags. This is the letter that Li Fei wrote to Boss Wang, a book of 10,000 words. He had forgotten about it in a drawer for so long.

To put it mildly, don't discourage others. He remembered what Boss Wang said at that time. He thinks he can fully and accurately understand what Boss Wang means. The so-called tactfulness is tactfulness; The so-called others, of course, are different from us; The so-called don't discourage motivation is that this person can still be used by me.

In order to successfully complete the acquisition of Perfume Star River, Huang Yuntian made up a story about Wang's Hotel Group. Seeing that Li Fei was particularly interested in this topic, he gave full play to his imagination and told this story as if it was true. That Li Fei's lover was in his eyes, and he was so intoxicated that he couldn't extricate himself. actually wrote a letter of 10,000 words.

Huang Yuntian suddenly realized: like a dying person who has been breathing for a long time, he must still have something in his heart. What is Li Fei thinking? Thinking about his hotel group? Thinking that he can communicate directly with Boss Wang? That's right, nine times out of ten.

Wrong, just give it a try. He asked Wu Ningan to inform Li Fei to come to the office of his headquarters in Wuhan. Li Fei asked what was going on, but Wu Ningan didn't know anything.

This actually made Li Fei start to think about it again, and he couldn't help himself. It must have something to do with that letter, it is likely that Boss Wang wants to see him, otherwise what would he do at the headquarters?

Walking through the large open office space of Wang's headquarters, Li Fei felt very good. Yes, there is the grandeur of a modern large enterprise. He tried his best to slow down, and in this quiet environment, he still left the sound of "clicking" of footsteps and the "whooshing" sound of the hem of his clothes.

Someone looked at him sideways, and he smiled back as a hotelier. A kind of laughter that is not specifically referred to, almost a residual smile.

At the end, a glass-separated space is Huang Yuntian's office. When Huang Yuntian saw Li Fei knocking on the door and coming in, he immediately got up and greeted him with a smile, and while he sat down, he took out one of the stacks of paper cups in the cabinet and went to make tea for Li Fei.

This was the first time that Li Fei felt Huang Yuntian's enthusiasm after entering the Wang family. This enthusiasm made him a little uncomfortable, but also a little moved. It strengthened his delusion even more.

He didn't know that Huang Yuntian was acting in a play. Of course, the only person worthy of his hard work is Boss Wang. On the issue of Li Fei's stay and departure, he and Boss Wang's thoughts are not completely consistent.

Boss Wang hopes that Li Fei will stay and use it for himself. After all, talent is rare.

Huang Yuntian also admitted that Li Fei was talented, and it was precisely because of this that he felt threatened and had to get rid of him quickly. However, in this office space full of eyeliner, he wants people to see how polite and courteous Huang Yuntian treats this special talent.

Huang Yuntian pulled a chair in front of his desk and sat down face-to-face with Li Fei. This is not only cordial, but also condescending to Li Fei sitting on the sofa. He liked the condescending feeling.

He asked Li Fei with a smile: Did you write a letter to your boss?

This kind of questioning, in which the subject is omitted, adds more to the intimate atmosphere. Li Fei nodded: Yes.

Wrote 10,000 words?

Yes.

With such a big stroke, we don't let us learn first, this thing is not authentic! Seeing Huang Yuntian laughing, half-truthed and half-fake, Li Fei smiled sincerely embarrassed.

It's just a little bit of a personal idea, he said. Immature, so ......

At this time, Li Fei saw Huang Yuntian walk behind the desk and took out a large envelope of brown paper from the drawer. As soon as Li Fei saw the bulging appearance, he knew that it was his own object. Li Fei didn't have time to think about it, and saw that Huang Yuntian had already "snapped" and threw it on the glass coffee table in front of him.

The boss wants me to hand it over to you.

Li Fei took the letter over and held it in his hand. Wait for Huang Yuntian to give more information, but no.

What did the boss say? Li Fei had to say what he cared about the most. He stared at the letter in his hand, and heard Huang Yuntian say, the boss read it, and said that it was written quite well. Let me study and study well. Then pass it on to you.

What are these words? It's still not clear! Li Fei was silent for a moment, and then asked unwillingly: When will the headquarters' development plan for the hotel group be implemented?

How to put it - at least for now, there are no plans.

Huang Yuntian's words made Li Fei a little stunned. He said, didn't it say that there was a plan?

The situation has changed, Huang Yuntian said, and now the overall situation of the group is not good, and investment is in a state of contraction.

At this time, Huang Yuntian saw that Li Fei was spread out on the sofa like a shelf. He had his feet spread apart, his head tilted on the backrest, and his eyes stared at the ceiling in despair. After a long time, he let out a long breath softly. Asked a word that didn't need to be answered: Can I go?

Huang Yuntian was talking about something at this time, but Li Fei didn't listen to it at all. He supported his knees with both hands, as if he was being pulled by something, and it took a great deal of effort to break free before he could stand up; Steady in a moment of dizziness, and struggle to straighten the arched waist; Then he dragged his lead-filled legs and walked towards the door step by step.

Under the gray-blue sky, Li Fei drove his white Toyota car at a speed on the Hanyi Expressway. Loud rock music was playing in the car. Music is his wine, and rock music is his spirit. This liquor makes people excited, and this excitement is almost crazy. He shook his head and turned the volume up, and then up. He loved the deafening sensation.

Suddenly, he saw a towering mountain range in front of him. It is a dark mountain range, and it forms a majestic picture with the plain fields at its feet. It is a picture that makes everything we see small and some metaphysical ideas great. Let Li Fei be incomparably intoxicated and incomparably enjoyed.

How is it possible - how is it possible? He looked down at the foot of the mountain; and leaned up to look at its summit; Then pay close attention to the vast color in front of you; Oh – it turned out to be a cloud like a mountain. A dark cloud that covered the entire western sky.

In an instant, a trace of remorse passed through his heart. Why should you see through this rare, wonderful, dream-like situation of life at a glance?

In the vast color in front of the car, at the foot of the cloud mountain, Li Fei saw a thin blood mark. The blood streak continued to expand, expanding to what looked like two blood-red lips. The lips gradually opened, revealing a bright piece of red jade between the lips and teeth. It turned out that the red jade blood had stained its lips. It—this precious red jade, is being devoured little by little—devoured. until it is completely engulfed. Until the blood-red lips turned purple.

Li Fei felt that his heart was following the piece of red jade and falling.

He was a little sad. For yourself, and for that piece of rubite. Dusk is a melancholy time. Fortunately, there is still a dawn on earth. When dawn comes, a new piece of ruby will appear in the eastern sky. This is a treasure common to all things on earth, and no one can swallow it in their stomachs forever. No.

Sunrise and sunset, the vicissitudes of the sea.

When I returned to Xiangzhou, it was already the beginning of the lanterns. He drove the car directly to the Perfume Galaxy Hotel and found a parking space with the help of the parking lot security guard. The front and rear parking lots were all parked with vehicles. Business is still doing great.

He was constantly greeted by people. There are guests, but also hotel staff; There are those who know, and there are those who don't. He smiled in return: Hello!

He didn't walk into the Perfume Galaxy Hotel, but walked towards the South Bridge across the road.

He stood on the south bank of the Phoenix River and gazed at the Perfume Galaxy Hotel for a long time. The sound of cars filled my ears, and the air was filled with the stench of the Phoenix River.

Time flies, almost ten years have passed. In fact, it should be almost 20 years since the germination of hotels in this place.

At that time, it was still called Seongnam Hotel. The chaotic scene of a group of foreign tourists screaming in a hurry because they couldn't find a toilet is funny when I think about it now. At that time, he didn't have a concept of hotels, and even thought that there should be no toilet in the house.

At that time, the Phoenix River was crystal clear, and the willows were still around, which could be bathed and washed. There are no sanitary toilets, and people's excrement is carried by manure pits. Whenever a manure truck comes over, it always makes people cover their noses. Later, sanitary toilets were introduced, and sewage was discharged into the Phoenix River. The toilets are clean, and the Phoenix River stinks.

When doing the project review, Zhou Min'an, the former director of the public security bureau, said that the Perfume Galaxy Hotel was like an open book. At this moment, the title page of the book is opening to him, rows of windows, lines of large letters, they record the history and foreshadow the future.

Later, he saw the hotel. Its elegance, its quietness, its spotlessness, its courtesy, its magnificence, its pleasing to the eye made him fall for it.

It had given him pain before, but it was the pain that sweetened happiness later; It also made him try and fail, but it was a failure that made success more solid and valuable.

In fact, he thought, life is an experience. Suffering and happiness, success and failure are all an experience. People come to this world to gain the experience of life. There is only a happy and successful life, not a complete life. And vice versa. Only by looking at life outside of life can we see life more clearly. Only then can we face failure and suffering calmly.

Ever since he had his own hotel, he willingly and desperately became its servant. He thought he could be its servant for the rest of his life. I thought I could follow it forever and never leave it. I think I love it more than I love my own life. No, it is who it is – or rather he is a part of its life. Their lives are linked and inseparable.

Today, it's still shiny, it's still busy, it's still spotless, it's still polite. However, he is going to get out of here. He even wanted to escape without delay, as if he wanted to escape from a cage without delay.

He felt that he was so fake, the former mountain alliance and sea oath, the former sea oath and mountain alliance, everything was an empty word. I can't withstand setbacks, I can't stand grievances, and once adversity strikes, all I think about is to escape. Why are you like this? Why do you still have to be like this?

He seemed to suddenly understand: the hotel you once had a crush on, with a personal promise, it not only has a gorgeous appearance, but more importantly, it also has a precious core. A kernel that allows you to survive freely and play independently. Now the core is gone, and only a superficial shell remains. And this shell is a beautiful cage for you.

A beautiful cage? Yes. Are you sure? Are you sure. In this case, when you already know that you are in prison, why are you still obsessed with not dying, and you still have to go to Wang's headquarters?

What if Wang's Hotel Group was not an illusory dream, but a real hotel group consisting of a series of four-, five- or even six-star hotels? Will you still stubbornly choose to leave, or will you covet its vanity and succumb to its feet?

He asked himself. What a tantalizing picture, what a difficult question to answer.

He stood on the other side of the Phoenix River in front of the Perfume Galaxy Hotel for a long—long time. Until his legs are a little sore, his shoulders are a little cold, and his eyes are a little wet. Forcibly cutting a living being in half is too difficult and painful. He felt he couldn't do it.

That night a few years ago, he also stood here for a long time. Looking at the Perfume Star River Hotel for a long time, I was in a daze. That time was also struggling with whether to leave. If I had gone to the Commercial Bureau, what would I be like now? Can commercial buildings be saved?

The crumbling commercial building, located at the intersection of Xinshang Street and Xiangzhou Avenue, was sold to a private person for 8 million yuan in the restructuring. The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, and at this moment he has no way of knowing that in a few years, the commercial building will be sold to the Xiangzhou commercial building in Wan Shaobei. It was sold to the rich man Xiangzhou commercial building at a sky-high price of 68 million yuan.

These are what will happen later. It is already not associated with the city government; Nothing to do with the Municipal Bureau of Commerce; It has nothing to do with the employees of the commercial building who got a little buyout money.

Another midnight and he woke up crying. After waking up, I could still feel the strong inertia of grief, but I still couldn't stop the tears that were still gushing out.

What kind of dream is it that makes me so sad?

He tried hard to recall the dream, but he couldn't remember anything about it. For many years, there were only two dreams that would wake him up crying. One is to dream of studying at school, which is after dropping out of school; One is to dream of seeing your mother, which is after losing your mother. Obviously not this time, so what is it?

He thought—he thought—and suddenly remembered a picture: there was a group of people—who said they were hotel employees, but he didn't know them; They were busy in the kitchen and dining room – they said they were cooking a reunion dinner, but they weren't in the Perfume Galaxy Hotel.

At this time, he thought that at this moment, every family was in the regimental year, and only his employees were still working hard at their posts. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shed tears.

He was crying sadly when he saw a man come over and asked him what he was crying here. A consciousness told him that this person was Huang Yuntian. But when he looked closely, it didn't look like it.

He said that I want to let them go home from work early so that they can also have a reunion dinner with their families.

The man said, "You don't have to worry about it."

He thought about it, yes, he is no longer the general manager of Perfume Star River, how can he forget this. Thinking of this, he felt a deep sense of humiliation in his heart. He felt a cramping pain in his heart, and he woke up from the dream.
