Chapter 324: The Square of the Festival
readx;
When Xie Jun was young, when it was New Year's Day, everyone didn't seem to be very formal, that is, having a meal at home, and people with spare money would buy a firecracker for their children, if it wasn't for the fact that there was still a day of statutory holiday, maybe many people would forget that this was still a festival.

With the wave of China's reform and opening up, a lot of Western life and culture are also quietly affecting the way of life of Chinese people, such as the countdown of this New Year's Eve, now, everyone to the eve of New Year's Day, also like to learn from Westerners, gathered in the square, play square culture and New Year's countdown together, perhaps the fast-paced life now makes people lack communication, all year round, just find such a time to fully communicate.
I haven't accompanied Chen Keyan and them to go shopping for a long time, on the eve of New Year's Day, Xie Jun was pulled out by Chen Keyan and Lin Xuemeng, and unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoyan, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared.
"You haven't seen me for so long, do you miss me?"
This is a café on the side of the central square, the grade is quite good, of course, it refers to the price! Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, you can see the big square outside, although the time is still early, the weather is also very clear, but there are still a lot of people in the square, Xu Xiaoyan held a glass of juice, looked at Xie Jun with a smile and asked.
"Yes, I still wanted to come two days ago, and I thought of you when I had a headache for the year-end summary and plan!"
Xie Jun replied with a relaxed smile, I heard Xue Meng say that Xu Xiaoyan went abroad for a turn, as if he was going to inspect the development experience of the cultural industry or something, this industry was told by Xie Jun to Lin Xuemeng, and Lin Xuemeng told Xu Xiaoyan again, she seemed to be very optimistic.
"Cut! I originally wanted me to help you do hard labor, but I didn't expect that I am such a big beauty, and I can't attract you at all!"
Chen Keyan snickered, Lin Xuemeng pursed her lips disdainfully, it seems that Miss Ben is also a big beauty, she sways in front of Xie Jun's eyes every day, and she doesn't see any intentions from Xie Jun.
"Hehe, it's not important, the important thing is that I've thought about you, I've been in good spirits lately, keep working hard. ”
Xu Xiaoyan knew that Xie Jun was saying that he was quite diligent in his cultivation, and he did not give up cultivation because he was busy with work, in fact, it was because the benefits of cultivation were gradually reflected, whether it was memory or energy, it was much better than before, this was definitely not an illusion, so Xu Xiaoyan was still very willing to spend some time cultivating.
"Well, it's okay. By the way, you said those things to my grandfather because ...... Cultivation?"
Xie Jun glanced at Lin Xuemeng, Lin Xuemeng put down the juice in her hand, and hurriedly shook her hand to say that she didn't say it herself, Xie Jun didn't look at Chen Keyan, he knew that Chen Keyan would not make her own decisions about this kind of thing before she told her clearly, she was a person who reassured Xie Jun.
"You guess? If you are only representing you personally, I can tell you in detail as a friend, and if you are asking this question on behalf of your Xu family, then it is not convenient for me to say anything for the time being. ”
Xu Xiaoyan patted Lin Xuemeng's hand with a smile, comforted Lin Xuemeng, who was a little aggrieved, looked at Xie Jun and said: "I am just myself, and I have nothing to do with the Xu family, but you still don't tell me, it will make it difficult for me, in fact, there are already all kinds of rumors and speculations in our group, and I speculate from my own situation." If this exercise I practice can be promoted, I believe that there are still many people who are willing to cultivate, because in less than a year, the initial effect will be seen, although I don't know what kind of effect it will be in the end, but once this path of cultivation is opened, it will be a new social change, right?"
Xie Jun smiled and shook his head: "Without Ke Yan and Xue Meng to guide you, you won't be able to practice with any effect." ”
"Hehe, what if it's a political axe promotion?"
Xie Jun smiled and said nothing, since Xu Xiaoyan said that he didn't want to know, Xie Jun naturally didn't say more, but his silence was actually a kind of acquiescence, with Xu Xiaoyan's cleverness, of course he knew what Xie Jun was trying to express.
For a businessman, all social change represents an opportunity, of course, a danger, and if you deal with it properly, you will naturally take advantage of the situation, and if you don't respond properly, you may sink it. If cultivation is really gradually promoted by the state, what kind of opportunities will it bring? What kind of changes will it bring to the existing social structure? Why did Xie Jun suggest that she enter the cultural industry?
Xu Xiaoyan held his orange juice, frowned slightly, and his thoughts spread rapidly.
"Okay, I'm out to play today, I'm working again, and I said I'm a workaholic, I think you are!" Lin Xuemeng reached out and pinched Xu Xiaoyan's white and tender face, and interrupted Xu Xiaoyan's train of thought with a smile.
Chen Keyan also smiled and said, "That's it, can't you not talk about your business experience?"
"Hehe, I'm a layman, how can I compare with you two dusty little fairies!" Xu Xiaoyan smiled dumbly, slapped Lin Xuemeng's strange hand, and retorted with a grin.
"Senior brother, please open the window and let us listen to the singing in the square. Lin Xuemeng raised her head proudly and looked up at a thirty-degree angle, while Chen Keyan chuckled lightly and turned her head to Xie Jun and pleaded.
Xie Jun stood up, turned around and slid the big glass door behind him to the side, the sound in the square suddenly rushed in, on the stage in the center of the square, an unknown young man was singing songs that Xie Jun didn't know, the vendors wandering in the square were loudly soliciting business, and the children were a little too excited to shout, mixed together, making a buzzing resonance, filling the eardrums of several people.
"It's so lively!" Xu Xiaoyan sighed, Xie Jun also had the same feeling, as he practiced deeply, it seemed that he also ignored these ordinary people, ordinary life is getting farther and farther away, not that he doesn't want to live like this, but there is always something at hand that binds him, so that he has no time to look down.
"We'll sit here until twelve o'clock today, and I'll count down together. Lin Xuemeng gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
"Don't worry, I've booked the whole night here, and I want you to count down with me. Xu Xiaoyan replied with a smile, although she also likes to work, it is also a very pleasant thing to accompany friends occasionally.
Xie Jun did not participate in their topic, but leisurely raised his eyes to look around, looking at the lively crowd in the square, the dazzling lights, and the glow sticks waving in the hands of the children, feeling the happiness and excitement of others.
Xie Jun thought about it carefully, it turned out that he would not be excited in this situation, looking at the happy and noisy crowd, Xie Jun was more of a state of mind to see the scenery, his heart was quiet and peaceful, and he would not be as excited and excited as them.
Because he is interested in something else, which is different from what they are pursuing, he can occasionally stop and see their happiness and excitement, and in the end, Xie Jun still has to pursue his own excitement and happiness.
"Senior brother, don't you like it?" Chen Keyan noticed that Xie Jun's demeanor was very peaceful, and he didn't seem to be affected by the hustle and bustle outside at all, so she asked a little strangely, and at the same time, this question also attracted the attention of the other two girls.
"No, it's just Ke Yan, those happiness belong to them, what I pursue is different from them, I am just a person who looks at the scenery, I am happy when I see them happy. ”
Chen Keyan thought for a moment, understood what Xie Jun meant, smiled and turned her eyes away, looking at the square outside the window, while Lin Xuemeng pouted exaggeratedly: "Senior brother is so great!"
Xu Xiaoyan patted Lin Xuemeng's head and warned her not to talk nonsense, no wonder Xie Jun always spoiled Chen Keyan, and it wasn't that Lin Xuemeng herself was not liked.
"Xie Jun, will there be a sense of alienation that makes you feel farther and farther away from ordinary people?"
"How can it be? I'm no different from ordinary people, I have a nose and two eyes, why should I feel alienated? The biggest difference between me and them is just the pursuit of difference, in fact, except for this, we are exactly the same people, so I like them. ”
Xu Xiaoyan smiled warmly, Xie Jun is still the same, there is no difference at all because of the change in his identity, he is still the young man who said to himself back then, 'I can understand, but I don't accept', peaceful and persistent, close and reliable.
Lin Xuemeng glanced at her senior brother from the corner of her eye, continued to drink her grapefruit juice comfortably, curled the corners of her mouth, and chased the excited guitarist on the stage excitedly.
"Senior brother, there are fried soybeans over there!"
It's really hard to understand how Lin Xuemeng could still hear the faint cry of fried soybeans in such a noisy environment, Xie Jun spread his hands, pretending not to understand what she meant.
"Then you can buy it yourself, if you don't want to, let the waiter buy it for you, I think he will be very willing." ”
"Stingy, if Ke Yan wants it, will you go?"
"Let the waiter go!"
"The ghost only believes you, eccentric!"
"Whatever you want, do you want me to call a waiter for you, that young man just now kept staring at you and almost hit the wall, if he can serve you, he must be very happy. ”
Chen Keyan also interjected: "That's it, you are called senior brother, you don't go to buy it to honor senior brother, well, and me, senior sister, do you want senior brother to wait for you?"
"You're jealous!"
"Okay, can you two stop arguing, I hear you two arguing all day long, don't you bother!" Xu Xiaoyan smiled gently, as if he was watching his two children quarrel, and he complained helplessly.
Xie Jun smiled indifferently, automatically filtered out these meaningless contents, and turned his gaze to the square again, and then, Xie Jun's gaze froze, his pupils contracted suddenly, and an inexplicable coldness, as if pouring down from the nine heavens, suddenly froze Xie Jun's whole person, and it seemed that even his heartbeat stopped.
"What's that!?"
