There is such a city, formed around a bay, with a population of more than 17 million, guarding the pearl of our country and the gateway to Nanda. She is big enough that the GDP of a city exceeds 80% of the countries in the world. And she was very small, and from the porthole of the plane that landed slowly, the largest park in the city was only the size of a soybean grain. Everyone in the city is trying to live their own life differently, so theoretically, there are more than 17 million lives playing out in this city alone at every moment. This is Shenzhen, and here you are Shenzhen people.

Shen Tong was lucky, after graduating from university, he came to the city where Li Rui was born with his dream and Zhang Meiya. However, Li Rui never acknowledged that Shenzhen was his hometown, although he was indeed born and raised in Shenzhen, and spent most of his current life, he always insisted that he was from Shandong.

"Ancestral hometown, Qingdao, Shandong." Li Rui introduced his hometown with a Guangpu accent, which would always be exchanged for Shen Tong's disdain.

A person has only one destiny, and we may have been taught by the traditional education since childhood that if we want to change our destiny, we must accumulate over time, but in fact, a person, a destiny, its decisive factors are often only three to five key moments. Three to five moments, seize three to five opportunities, and the most ordinary people can also transform their lives.

After Shen Tong and Li Rui founded Tongrui Culture Communication Co., Ltd., they soon ushered in those "three to five moments". Standing on the cusp of self-media and short videos, in the third year of their business, they moved out of the "maker space" with poor conditions, the kind of shack that was transformed on the site of an abandoned former state-owned factory and used as an office for college students to start a business. They moved to Nanshan and settled in the Kexing Science and Technology Park, where "big factories" gathered. Later, they were like the darlings chosen by the times, found the traffic password, and were blown to the sky on the tuyere where traffic is king. About five years after their business, Tongrui has grown to more than 500 employees, covering publishing, audio-visual, short video and other popular cultural businesses. In Kexing, a place where every inch of land is valuable, Tongrui Wenchuan has its own three-story office building. The building's 13A is home to Tongrui's marketing and business departments, the 16th floor is the media and operations department, and the 18th floor is the executive office and general management department. The doors of Shen Tong and Li Rui's offices were facing each other. In the middle of their two offices is the secretariat of the General Manager's Office, and Zhang Meiya became his and Li Rui's right-hand man as Shen Tong wished, sitting at the head of the Secretariat of the General Manager's Office.

Among all the students who graduated from Sichuan University in 2012, the names of Shen Tong, Li Rui and Zhang Meiya have forever remained in the history of the university, in addition to their successful careers, but also because they initiated the establishment of the Tongrui Scholarship Fund at their alma mater to support those poor students with excellent character and academic performance to complete their studies, and to provide "angel funds" for those college students who have dreams and action to encourage those who also have entrepreneurial dreams to pursue and realize their dreams. Undoubtedly, they are winners in life, and their life is what many people dream of.

However, a sudden funeral made their established trajectory begin to change quietly. In January in Shenzhen, the cold weather will also make people have to take out the down jacket pressed under the box.

On a light rainy afternoon, Shen Tong, who was sitting at home, was wearing a down jacket, but his hands and feet were still cold. Li Rui's office door had not been opened for several days, and Shen Tong tried various ways to contact Li Rui, but he could not be contacted, which made him hesitate to go to the police station to report the missing person. Just as he made up his mind to call the police, his cell phone rang. It was Li Rui who called, and Li Rui's tone was calm, as if he was just a daily chat between the two of them, and told Shen the same thing, Li Rui's father died, and tomorrow was the day of his father's funeral. Shen Tong asked Li Rui if he wanted to go over to help, after all, his father's death was a very heavy matter for anyone. And Li Rui just replied lightly: "No, it's just a stepfather." But Li Rui still hoped that Shen Tong could be by his side the whole next day. Shen Tong will definitely not refuse such a reasonable demand, Li Rui is not only a partner in the business, but also his most trusted and closest friend. Tomorrow's memorial service will not take place at the funeral home, but in a mountain villa on the edge of Mirs Bay.

hung up Li Rui's phone, and Shen Tong immediately called Zhang Meiya, who was still following up on the company's operational matters, and asked her to hurry home. Meiya wanted to excuse herself, after all, the two bosses were not in the company, and she was the only one who supported the company, but Shen Tong's tone on the phone made her feel that she couldn't refuse at all. When she returned to the house with Shen Tong, Shen Tong had already packed a simple bag and came out. The small suitcase on the floor of the living room also has a space for Meiya.

"I don't know what else you need to bring, I've left you a piece of land, you hurry up and clean it up. Let's go to Dapeng right away, Xiao Ruizi's father is gone, we have to help him. Shen Tong gently held Meiya's shoulder, Meiya did not hesitate and nodded vigorously.

About fifteen minutes later, Shen Tong and Meiya's car had already appeared at the entrance of the community, Nanshan at more than five o'clock was already a little traffic jam, Shen Tong chose to take the highway as much as possible, Meiya also thoughtfully brought some water and bread and biscuits and other things in the car, so that Shen Tong could put something in his stomach on the road.

On Binhe Avenue, there is a long stretch of road along Shenzhen Bay, and the evening sun paints the entire sea surface golden. Looking out of the window on the right-hand side, Zhang Meiya finally understood the word "sparkling".

"It's beautiful!" Miya sighed. And Shen Tong was not in the mood to look at the scenery of this road, he stared at the road in front of him with all his attention, and drove Cayenne out of the speed of 911.

Shen Tong has always been worried about two things in his heart, the first thing is naturally Li Rui's own situation, he has been worried since he suddenly disappeared without any news three days ago, but now he knows where he is and what happened, and this first thing can be regarded as seventy percent settled.

This second thing is what makes Shen Tong really uneasy, 90% of the start-up capital at the beginning of the establishment of Tongrui is Li Rui's money, although the company's actual capital is no longer the same, but Li Rui is still the largest shareholder holding 36% of the company's shares, and several of the company's core projects are also personally responsible for him, Li Rui's long downtime for a long day to cause losses to the company's operation The greater the risk of losses. Since the establishment of Tongrui, the division of labor between the three of them has always been Shen Tong is responsible for business and strategic direction, Li Rui is responsible for project management and corporate finance, and Meiya is the big "housekeeper" of the company, responsible for human resources and overall operation. The division of labor and cooperation make the company's internal management in an orderly manner, especially after moving to Kexing, Tongrui adheres to the scientific management method, vigorously promotes BPR (enterprise process reengineering), and builds Tongrui into an industry leader with first-class management concepts and management level under the leadership of Wei Zhengmin, director of human resources. For Shen Tong, personal emotional factors can only give way to the company's career, and he does not allow anyone's personal reasons to become a factor that threatens the company's daily operations, even if this threat is only a possible risk. Therefore, the eagerness to meet Li Rui himself is very real, even if his personal emotional factors are aside.

The car made Shen Tong drive fast, and if there was no chassis to block, Shen Tong would inevitably step on the accelerator into the fuel tank. Although it was unfortunate to catch the evening rush hour in Shenzhen, it was only dark when they arrived at the foot of the villa. The gate of the villa was closed, but the security booth and gate guard at the gate were clearly overly guarded. The security captain verified Shen Tong's identity and vehicle information, and after waiting for about two minutes, the voice of the central control reply came from the security guard's handdesk, replying that the visitor was a VIP and allowed to let him go. The gate was opened, and Shen Tong and Meiya really drove into the boulevard of the villa.

At the first junction before the uphill climb, there are receptionists in stand-up collar uniforms who guide them to the parking lot at the foot of the mountain. The parking lot is still empty, except for a few cars of unknown model parked in the corner of the parking lot covered with rainproof cloths. Shen Tong casually found a parking space and stopped, and immediately after he and Meiya got out of the car, two young men wearing the same uniform trotted over, and their outfits looked like the uniform of the villa, with dark gray stand-up collar tops and black pants.

"Mr. Shen, hello!" The young man in the lead bowed deeply, "The road on the mountain is quite tortuous, and Mr. Rui specially asked us to send you and Miss Zhang up." ”

Shen Tong nodded and opened the trunk of the car. The other lad immediately pulled out their suitcases. There were obviously wheels on the suitcase, but the young man still held the box with both hands and carried it into the Mercedes-Benz MPV that drove into the parking lot. The drive up the hill took about fifteen minutes. At night, the villa is quiet and dark, except for the occasional light of a single-family villa in the two streams, all the scenery is covered by night. Streetlights on either side meander a path that leads to a deeper secluded place.
