question of heaven
Chapter 2
Winter goes to spring, flowers bloom and fall, and the time has come to May 2012, 5.
Wu Xiaoyang left the personnel section chief's office with brisk steps, with a smug smile on his face from time to time; especially when he thought of the fat pig-like section chief's expression when he heard his classic words, This pride is even more.
The head of the personnel department shook his fat head, which was the same size as his stomach, and said helplessly, "You young people! You don't know how to cherish it."
Wu Xiaoyang smiled secretly: "Yes! It is because I am still young that I don't want to be buried in the loess prematurely together."
The chief of the personnel department sat up in surprise: "What is buried in the loess?"
Wu Xiaoyang didn't hide his pride: "I'm not talking about you."
The head of the personnel department said: "I have heard that you are extremely smart, and you look like that, but you have been in the unit for almost a year, and you have not seen any achievements. You are not as good as others. What a fool." There is something to show." After a pause, he continued: "I wanted to persuade you today, but I actually said that, so let's do it myself."
Wu Xiaoyang clearly saw the anger flickering in the eyes of the obese section chief, but he didn't care, and felt a burst of pleasure instead.At this time, Wu Xiaoyang couldn't understand the true meaning of the words of the annoying section chief in front of him. After all, he was too young, and what life told him was still very superficial.
Near the corner of the house, Wu Xiaoyang felt a sense of joy when he saw Chen Wei, who sells non-staple food, approaching from a distance.This Chen Wei is a good buddy. When we had dinner together last month, he said affectionately: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't want your iron job. A talent like you will be a vice president in my company." I wronged you." At that time, I joked and said: "Really? Don't let me be laid off in less than a month." This Chen Wei was anxious when he heard it: "How can I? I will welcome you anytime- -----."
Wu Xiaoyang shouted excitedly to Chen Wei who was walking towards him: "Brother, what are you up to?"
Chen Wei also seemed very happy: "It's you! Come to the Technical Supervision Bureau to do something."
Wu Xiaoyang is still indulging in the beauty of the future: "I'm resigning."
"Really?" Chen Wei's expression flashed a little surprised: "You are simply, what are you going to do in the future?"
Wu Xiaoyang didn't appreciate the surprise of the other party too much, and still said excitedly, "In this way, we can do a lot of work."Suddenly, a flash came to his mind: "Didn't you mention your company last time?" In fact, he never thought about going to the other party's company, but he just said it in a joking way.He hoped that the other party would also joke and say: "Okay, I'm waiting for you, when will you go to work?"
"Okay!" Chen Wei's expression was not only surprised, but also embarrassed: "I still have things to do now, don't forget to call and contact more often."
Wu Xiaoyan didn't finish his words, but the other party walked to open the door while talking, so he had no choice but to raise his hand as a farewell.When I got home, I saw my mother was cooking, and without saying anything, I turned on the TV and started watching.
During the meal, Wu's mother said: "Xiao Yang, you are not young anymore, you should be sensible. It is not easy to find a job now, why would you want to quit? Work safely and securely, and we will talk about it in a few years."
Wu Xiaoyang couldn't help being annoyed: "In a few years, people will be old in a few years, what's the point, I hate that kind of life."
Mother Wu was not angry, but still patiently said: "Life is like this, so if everything goes smoothly, you can quit your job or leave. If you do this, it will be the same wherever you go, and you will not be successful."
"Whether you are successful or not is my business, and you don't need to worry about it." Wu Xiaoyang was even more annoyed: "Since I told you about this last week, you have always been like this. You have never understood me. I decide my own affairs."
"For your own good, you say you don't understand you." Mother Wu sighed: "You have been used to it since you were a child, and you don't listen to good or bad words. When your father comes back from a business trip, let him tell you, anyway, you are not allowed You resign."
Wu Xiaoyang still said angrily: "You will always just say that you have made me used to it, what's wrong with me, I've become a bad person."
Mother Wu's voice suddenly became louder: "Why are you talking to me like this, I'm your mother." Seeing his mother trembling with anger, Wu Xiaoyang couldn't bear it, so he bowed his head and stopped talking, and ate sullenly.
After a while, Wu's mother said, "Xiao Yang, this matter is not a trivial matter. We will discuss it after your father comes back, ah."
Wu Xiaoyang put the empty bowl after eating on the table: "What are you talking about, I've already gone through the formalities."
Mother Wu raised her head, her face full of nervousness: "What procedures have been done?"
Wu Xiaoyang said angrily: "The unit's resignation procedures."
Mother Wu was really annoyed at this moment: "How dare you resign on your own initiative without our consent, do you still have us in your heart?"
Wu Xiaoyang said resolutely: "This is my business, I decide on my own, all the procedures and materials are here, you can read." After speaking, he threw the materials on the table and left the house.
In the deep night, under the neon lights, it seems that all the people have left home, walking or entertaining in various places and corners of the city; naturally, there are all kinds of businessmen who are very busy people.
Wu Xiaoyang followed his friend Zhu Shaojun to a bar on the East Second Ring Road, and saw An Chuanhe, Chen Wei and two other people they didn't know were toasting.Chen Wei introduced: "This is Duan Yong from the Agricultural Bank of China, and this is Director Ding. Although they are over [-] years old, they are very open-minded and young." Then he said to them: "This is my friend Wu Xiaoyang." Everyone nodded.
In the interlacing of glasses, Wu Xiaoyang found that all the people in the bar were inexplicably excited, chatting, drinking heavily, and men and women shuttled among them.
They chatted without saying a word, and Wu Xiaoyang saw that the three of Zhu Shaojun were all trying to curry favor with Director Ding.Duan Yong, on the other hand, has a leisurely look, feeling very satisfied with life, and seems to see the world thoroughly, neither particularly happy nor sad.
Director Ding seemed complacent. Although he was talking and laughing with Zhu Shaojun and the others, he put on a perfunctory look.Wu Xiaoyang felt that he would need his help in doing things in the society in the future, so he raised his wine glass and said with a smile on his face: "Director Ding, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me in the future."
Director Ding picked up his wine glass, touched it casually, and smiled.It was the first time in Wu Xiaoyang's life that he felt being scorned by others, and a kind of deep annoyance that could neither break out nor be reconciled came to his heart.
At this moment, a young and beautiful girl came briskly to Duan Yong, whispering to Duan Yong, her whole expression was very ambiguous.Everyone looked at this pleasing picture tacitly, and saw Duan Yong readily handing over a few hundred dollars to her, the girl smiled brightly, turned and ran away.
Everyone looked at Duan Yong winkingly, and he said: "It's not easy for a girl, so help as many as you can." Everyone said with half-smiles: "Understand, understand."
Chen Wei said: "Brother Yong, in my impression, there are at least a dozen of them. I really admire your energy." Duan Yong smiled, neither admitting nor defending.
The night is fading, time is passing between laughing and laughing, and the bar is still very lively, making people lose the concept of time.They had drunk quite a bit, and everyone walked out of the bar and went home.
When Wu Xiaoyang returned home with drunken eyes, it was almost two o'clock in the night.He didn't care, he opened the door and went straight to his room to sleep.
He didn't wake up until noon the next day, casually went to the snack bar outside to eat something, and went to find Zhu Shaojun and the others.In the evening, we meet again to go to the bar for a drink, but we still have no sense of time, and our eyes are still hazy.
In this kind of unfettered days, Wu Xiaoyang continued to live a life of ecstasy and luxury, like a walking dead.The days of drunkenness and dreaming seemed to be endless, Zhu Shaojun said: "In the evening, Duan Yong asked us to go to the bar for a drink and go together."
In the evening, a group of five of them came to the bar?Looking at the wine on the table, everyone was in high spirits, laughing and laughing one after another.When it was almost twelve o'clock, Wu Xiaoyang got up to go to the bathroom. Just as he was walking back, he saw Duan Yong standing in the aisle and looking at him with a smile.
He laughed and said, "Brother Yong, what are you doing here?"
Duan Yong said: "I told them just now that it's too stuffy here, so come out to get some fresh air. Or, let's go outside and have a chat."
Wu Xiaoyang followed him outside, Duan Yong said: "I'll give you some advice, it's up to you to listen or not, stay away from this environment as soon as possible, you can't afford it at your age."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Why do you say that? Isn't this place very interesting?"
Duan Yong said: "Of course it's fun. Otherwise, why would there be so many people? This is a world where there is only fun, no pursuit, and no idea of tomorrow. It is not suitable for you. Incidents are especially easy to happen in such a place. If something happens to you, your future may change, and it will be a bad change. I hope you stay away from this kind of place, and don’t cause trouble.”
Wu Xiaoyang said: "It makes sense, why don't you leave yourself?"
Duan Yong casually smiled disdainfully: "I'm over 40 years old, and I have already cultivated into an indestructible body. How old are you? Don't think that you are smart and can control everything, but you are not. Although you are very smart, because of your youth, At the same time, the ability of self-control and judgment is relatively weak, how can it be compared? I have nothing to pursue, just want to live every day. But I hope you will not be polluted, this place does not belong to you, don’t Being affected by these messy things affects your future."
Wu Xiaoyang was a little moved: "Why did you say these things to me?"
Duan Yong said: "I always feel that you are different from others and have a unique temperament. Although we have only met a few times, I am deeply impressed by you and feel that you can accomplish great things. This is my A piece of advice, whether you listen to it or not is up to you."
Wu Xiaoyang said, "Thank you Brother Yong for remembering me."
Duan Yong said again: "What kind of person do you think I look like? Is it because my character is extremely bad?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "I don't have much experience in the society, so I can't see it. Occasionally, when people talk about you, they don't give a good opinion. My own feeling is that you have a lot of experience, and you will always have a way to solve all kinds of embarrassing problems. .”
Duan Yong said disapprovingly: "What the world sees is often only the appearance. Who would have the heart to think about the truth behind you? Don't expect anyone to understand yourself."
When the two of them returned to their seats after chatting, they could hear the chaos inside from a distance, as if someone was fighting.The two walked straight in, only to see a young boy just got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked out cursing.
When I came to my seat, I realized that it was Zhu Shaojun, An Chuanhe, and Chen Wei who beat the boy who had just left.If it wasn't for the bar owner's persuasion, the result would have been even more serious.Fortunately, things have calmed down, and the bar has resumed its previous hustle and bustle.The same cup lights are intertwined, the same men and women are constantly shuttling, and there is still no concept of time.
Looking at Zhu Shaojun and the others, their eyes were already drunk, and the other people in the bar were also drowsy.Suddenly, Wu Xiaoyang had a strong voice shouting in his heart: "What's wrong with me? How could I get mixed up in this kind of life? What's the difference between this and a dead body?" , Inexplicably, he felt a deep sense of disgust in his heart. He hated this place and himself.
He suddenly felt exhausted.
Wu Xiaoyang has been at home for two days, and he hates this kind of life of eating, drinking and having fun all day without pursuing anything.
After lunch, he went back to his room and lay on the bed. Half asleep and half awake, he walked to a smoky place, and he clearly saw another self.The whole body is surrounded by smoke, and I can't tell whether it is an illusion or a real scene. I just feel that it is so clear and so deep: the misty smoke is rolling in the open world, and it comes to my own at a very fast speed and silently. In front of them, they spread out at the same speed until the end of the sky.
At the end, there is the illusion that Haohan's sky covers the wilderness like a pot.Can't see anything but smoke.I was tumbling during the period, far inferior to a solitary boat in the sea.In my consciousness, I clearly told myself that I should stand up, but all my efforts could only go with the flow, and my heart was full of helpless sadness.
Suddenly, a loud noise exploded above the head.Looking up, I saw a big opening in the middle of the smoke; then, thousands of golden lights poured down from the opening, like rain and dew bathing dry seedlings, slowly sprinkled on my body.In an instant, I felt my whole body was filled with infinite power, and I swung a punch chicly------.
A burst of pain woke him up from the dream. Looking around, he found that in his room, the punch just now hit the left wall.The pain made him quickly gain a clear consciousness, and his whole body relaxed.He didn't intend to get up, and let his thoughts fly across the room, into the vast mountains and land, daydreaming casually.Suddenly, a trace of irritability lingered in his heart, and it became more and more intense, as if urging him to quickly leave the room, leave this suffocating home, and go outside to feel the free air bestowed by God.
Wu Xiaoyang couldn't wait for a second, so he fled the house as fast as he could, and came to the street, but he was lost.He didn't know where he was going, and the people coming and going in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with him.He didn't want to stop, the trouble in his heart still lingered.He was hesitating for no time when the bus just stopped at the next stop, and he walked on it without hesitation.There were not many people in the car, and there were still many empty seats.He found a back seat to do it, but the irritability in his heart became more and more intense, as if something important was about to happen to him.One station after another passed by, Wu Xiaoyang didn't intend to get off the bus, his eyes looked around aimlessly.When he arrived at the terminal, he bought another ticket for the return journey and continued to pass by one station after another without any meaning. The driver turned his head and looked at him several times.Wu Xiaoyang looked at his strange expression and thought it was very funny, but he still didn't think about it, and still looked at the strangers coming and going outside with no connection with him.
When he arrived at the "Dongfeng East Road" station, he turned his head to the inside of the car, and saw a delicate and delicate girl carrying a bag of heavy objects on the car and mopping the floor, looking very strenuous.Wu Xiaoyang stood up and was about to go over to help, but found that she had moved to the side seat, panting with a reddish face, and sat back without making any gestures.
One station after another was left behind, and when we arrived at the "Longquan Road" station, more and more people got on the train.Wu Xiaoyang wanted to get out of the car for a walk, but when he got to the door of the car, he saw the girl moving the bag of things and wanted to get out of the car, so he said to her, "Let me help you."The girl looked up at him, didn't speak, but let go of the hand holding the sack.Wu Xiaoyang picked up the bag with both hands and got out of the car.
He put the bag on a relatively clean ground and said, "Where is your home? How about I help you send it there?" Suddenly, Wu Xiaoyang clearly felt that the irritability that had been haunting his heart today disappeared, replaced by A sense of tranquility.
The girl still didn't speak, Wu Xiaoyang said: "It's really fine, just a little favor, where is it, I'll take it there for you." The girl still didn't speak, but blushed and raised her finger to point more than 200 meters ahead , Wu Xiaoyang picked up the bag and walked with her.
When he arrived at the place pointed by the girl, Wu Xiaoyang saw that it was "Fengyuan Community".The girl still didn't speak to him, but walked quickly to the guard.Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in a security uniform came out and said to Wu Xiaoyang, "Just leave it here with me, and I will notify their family to pick it up later."
Wu Xiaoyang put down the bag and saw the girl standing at the gate looking at him, so he walked up to her and said, "I'm leaving, goodbye." When he turned around, he saw the girl holding the phone in her hand and handing it to her. In front of me, I saw a QR code for adding WeChat.He took out his mobile phone, scanned and added it, and took a look at it. The name on it was Pu Yan, and her own profile picture. He smiled at her, turned and left.
At this time, Wu Xiaoyang would never have imagined that today's chance encounter with this delicate girl would completely change the trajectory of his life.
When it was getting dark, Wu Xiaoyang was thinking about going outside to play when he heard the voice of a WeChat message from his mobile phone.Seeing that it was sent by the girl named Pu Yan whom I met during the day, it was just a few words: "What are you doing?"
Wu Xiaoyang replied: "I'm at home and I'm planning to go out, how about you?"
"It's nothing." Pu Yan said, "I wanted to chat with you, but since you have something to do, go get busy."
Wu Xiaoyang had a particularly good impression of this girl, and said: "It's nothing special, just playing with friends, it's okay if you don't go."
Pu Yan quickly sent a mischievous expression over.Wu Xiaoyang said, "Are you still studying?"
Pu Yan said, "I still look like a student, don't I?"
"Of course." Wu Xiaoyang said, "If you don't look like a student, then there is no need for schools in the world."
Pu Yan immediately sent a very happy expression and said, "You really make people happy when you talk."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "On the contrary, everyone I know thinks my words are hurtful and difficult to get along with."
Pu Yan was silent for a while and said, "What do you mean? You make people feel good."
"The fact is." Wu Xiaoyang said: "22 years of life experience tell me that when I first met, people had a good impression of me. After getting along for a long time, most people's evaluation of me is more negative."
Pu Yan said, "Why is this happening?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "They think that I am self-willed and hurt people with my words. To describe it in one sentence, I am not a good person and I often think I am self-righteous."
Pu Yan said: "There should be people saying that you look very proud, right?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Yes, you are really smart."
"Really smart?" Pu Yan said, "It means that you thought I was smart before we chatted just now."
"Yes." Wu Xiaoyang said: "Your impression, if you can express it in one word, 'elegant and smart' is more appropriate."
Pu Yan immediately sent a happy emoji, and then said: "I like this word, I like it very much. I didn't expect that we could chat like this. Thank you for bringing me happiness, including your help during the day."
Wu Xiaoyang felt that chatting with her was very casual and relaxed. There was no need for modesty or affectation, and there was absolutely no sophistication that parents and elders used to say.He said: "Usually with friends, although we act rashly and have no scruples, it is difficult to have the joy of talking freely; and I have this feeling now, and I am very happy to meet you."
Pu Yan said, "Me too."
After a short silence, Pu Yan said: "You may have something to do, why don't you go to your business first, we will talk when we have time, you can contact me at any time."
Wu Xiaoyan didn't finish his words, but he still said, "Okay, let's get back in touch."
Just put down the phone, thinking about what to do?The phone rang again suddenly, and it turned out that it was from my friend Zhu Shaojun.He has been annoyed by these people these two days. He is like a walking dead all day long.Immediately afterwards, it rang again. Seeing that it was the same phone call just now, he answered helplessly and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Shaojun said: "Come here quickly, we are at Xiulin Tea House."
After Wu Xiaoyang arrived reluctantly, he saw Chen Wei, An Chuanhe, and Zhu Shaojun waiting.He said, "What's the rush?"
"Things are a bit troublesome." Chen Wei said: "Didn't we hang out in a bar a few days ago? The person we beat was a gangster, and now dozens of people have gathered to trouble us, so I came to you Let's discuss what to do?"
Wu Xiaoyang looked at their expressions and knew that they had already discussed it.He was very unwilling to get involved in these things, but if he wanted to avoid it, he felt that he was not loyal enough to be a friend, so he didn't know what to do for a while.He said, "What do you think?"
Chen Wei said: "We don't have any good solution at the moment. You are smarter, so I ask you to come up with an idea."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "I have no experience in this area, so I don't know what is the best way. What do you think? Are you going to fight them to the end?"
Zhu Shaojun said: "If we want to fight, we definitely can't, because they are all people who are mixed in the society, and there are a lot of people. We think it is best to negotiate with them to see if there is a good solution."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "This is also a good solution once and for all, you can try it."
Chen Wei said: "You are good at talking, and besides, you are not the person involved, so you represent us to talk to them."
Only then did Wu Xiaoyang understand why they hurriedly called him here.
When he came out of the tea house, he was very depressed, and there was a voice in his heart that kept asking: "Is this kind of life, this kind of life, what I want? Why is it like this, and I can't be in a daze anymore." It’s gone, it has to change.”
When he got home, he didn't want to watch TV either, so he went straight back to his room, and couldn't help but fell into a deep confusion about his future.He suddenly thought of Pu Yan, quickly took out his mobile phone, and sent a WeChat message by voice: "What are you doing? If you are not busy, let's chat."
After a while, Pu Yan replied in text: "I'm reading at home, have you gone home yet?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "I just came back and want to chat with you, is it convenient?"
Pu Yan still wrote: "Of course, I am not inconvenient. Going home so soon? Isn't it fun outside?"
Wu Xiaoyang himself didn't know the reason, but he said: "Hey, life is really boring, very boring."
Pu Yan still said mischievously in words: "This is the life consultation desk. I am Pu Yan, the chief consultant. If you have anything to say, please speak. I will be happy to answer your questions."
Wu Xiaoyang felt relaxed all of a sudden, and had an urge to talk about what was in his heart. He continued to say: "More than ten days ago, I resigned from the unit and spent all day eating, drinking and having fun with a few friends. This kind of life has passed for more than ten days until tonight. At first, I thought this kind of life was very good and free, but now I feel very disgusted, because this is not what I want at all, and I feel like a walking dead. , A complete waste. I don’t want to go on like this anymore, but I don’t know what to do, and I am very confused.”
Pu Yan said, "I'm listening, you continue."
"Do you know?" Wu Xiaoyang said: "Just a few days ago, some of our friends had conflicts with others when we were drinking in a bar. At that time, I happened to be talking to a friend outside the door, and I didn't participate. There was only one person on the other side, and there were three people on our side, so we beat them up. Although both parties were at fault, it was the other person who was injured after all. After a few days of calm, everyone thought that this incident The matter is over. Just this evening, my friend asked me to discuss and said that the other party had gathered dozens of people who were in the society to take revenge. Of course, they were not targeting me, because I did not participate. To be honest, I am not afraid, but I am very disgusted and hate this kind of life. Therefore, on the way home from them, I kept flashing voices in my mind that this must not go on like this and that I want to change. I can no longer go back to my original unit I don’t have anything formal to do. When I resigned, my family was very opposed to it, but I just didn’t listen, thinking that my choice was the most correct, and I could show my talents well in society. Looking back now I thought, my parents’ thinking is still reasonable. But it is impossible to turn back, I can only go forward, but I don’t know how to go, so I am very confused, this is what I think.”
Pu Yan said: "I know that people with strong personalities will not say such things to others casually, but you said it, and what you said was very true and direct. I have a sense of happiness that I am trusted."
Wu Xiaoyang said, "You didn't laugh at me, did you?"
"How could it be?" Pu Yan said, "I am enjoying the joy of being trusted, and at the same time, I am also thinking about how to answer the question you just asked."
"After I told you these words, I feel much better." Wu Xiaoyang said, "Actually, this question is quite difficult. Only people with life experience will know what to do. You are too young. I don't expect to get a good answer. If you can listen to me patiently, it will be very good."
Pu Yan said, "Are you underestimating me?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "How could it be? It's just that this question is difficult, and you are still too young."
Pu Yan said: "Yes, you said that the question is really difficult, let alone a 20-year-old young man, even a middle-aged man, it is difficult to have a better answer; however, you are very lucky, I Do you really know what to do?"
Wu Xiaoyang still couldn't believe it, and said with a smile, "Really? Then I'm so happy."
"Is it necessary for me to tell lies?" Pu Yan said: "Let's put it this way, because of some special reasons, I can really answer your question, and I am serious."
Only then did Wu Xiaoyang start to feel a little moved. Although he had only met him once, he could feel that Pu Yan was not a person who talked big or false.He said, "Okay, I believe it."
"Hehe, it was so easy to surrender. Fortunately, it was not a time of war, otherwise, you would probably be a big traitor." Pu Yan continued: "Let's talk about the topic now. Before answering your question, let me talk about my feelings It’s not related, but it’s actually very related.”
Wu Xiaoyang said, "Okay, I'll listen."
Pu Yan said: "Why is Guan Zhong, who is known as the first prime minister of China, doing nothing when he was a soldier, but achieved great results after becoming a prime minister; Li Yu, Empress of the Tang Dynasty, why did his country go bankrupt and his family perish."
Wu Xiaoyang was stunned. A second ago, he thought that he had read a lot of books for many years, and he didn't have any knowledge problems to stump him.Now facing the several incidents Pu Yan mentioned, she couldn't answer any of them.For the first time, he felt the frustration of being defeated, and it was a delicate girl.He hesitated for a long time, and said: "I know all these things you said, but I have never thought about the reasons carefully. To be honest, I don't know why?"
"To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple. It's a matter of position." Pu Yan said: "I have heard people say that everyone has only one destiny. If your current career and life are in line with this destiny, you will It will go smoothly; otherwise, you will be exhausted and do nothing. This is the effect of position, referred to as 'position effect'."
"Position effect?" Wu Xiaoyang said, "It sounds simple when you hear it, but it's very profound when you think about it."
"Of course, this is the most important thing in a person's life." Knowing that Wu Xiaoyang was thinking, Pu Yan paused for a while before saying, "Do you really know yourself? Can you clearly know what kind of person you are?" ?”
This seemingly simple question stumped Wu Xiaoyang again, he had never seriously thought about these things.It can be said that the person who understands oneself best is oneself, but it can also be said that the person who understands oneself the least is also oneself. If you want to specifically talk about what kind of person you are, you really can’t say it.He said: "I still haven't thought about it, I don't know, I will think about it tonight. I just remembered that when I was in the third year of high school a few years ago, I once knew a teacher named Zhang. The gossip is very well researched, and they commented on me, saying that my comprehension is very high, and I will have great achievements in the future. It’s just that since then, when I went to college and then went to work, I didn’t feel any sense of superiority or accomplishment. In the three years of university, the thing I do not regret the most is to read a lot of books. There are all kinds of books. It can be said that I have read a lot of books. I don’t seem to have any commendable performance in other aspects. I just barely passed the graduation. The teacher said that I do not do my job properly, read some messy books all day long, and did not devote my mind to study. But I really do not regret it. Through reading, I know how vast the world is, understand the vastness of the ocean of knowledge, and see Legendary stories of those masters -----. In short, I have not forgotten what Teacher Zhang told me, and I have indeed done it."
"There are two reasons why people are confused." Pu Yan said: "One is that they don't really know themselves, and the other is that they don't find their own position. As long as these two problems are solved, people will no longer be confused. Of course, this Both problems are not simple. Not only do you need enough courage to face your own heart, but you also need wise analysis to determine your position. This is not about me, I don’t have that much ability. In fact, I Some of the things I told you, even I don’t really understand, but I firmly tell you that it is correct.”
Wu Xiaoyang was very strange: "Since you don't understand, how can you firmly believe that it is correct? This is not logical."
"This is indeed a seemingly contradictory issue." Pu Yan said: "If you don't experience it yourself, it is difficult to have this understanding. Because the person who said these words is a real wise man and a very remarkable person. "
Wu Xiaoyang seemed to be talking to himself: "A wise man? Very remarkable? Is there such a person in reality?"
Pu Yan said: "You should be able to see that I am not a person who likes to talk and tell lies."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Yes, you are not, I believe what you said, but I still can't understand what it means?"
"Let me tell you a little secret." Pu Yan said, "Did you know there is a 'Cangshan Summit' in China?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Occasionally I saw it in the news, but I know very little about it, and I don't understand the content at all."
Pu Yan said: "On the Cangshan Mountain in Dali, Yunnan, a cultural summit will be held every five years. After the end, a list will be released, referred to as the 'Cangshan List'. There are rumors that as long as it is on this list People will become important figures in the Chinese cultural circle. There is also a saying in the society: "Cao is a genius in the South and North, and the stars in Cangshan bless China." The first sentence refers to three people, and the latter sentence is very easy to understand , I believe you know."
Wu Xiaoyang was immediately interested: "Who are those three people?"
Pu Yan said: "Nansu refers to a teacher surnamed Su who lives in Guangzhou; Beicao refers to a teacher surnamed Cao who lives in Beijing; the person called Wizard is Teacher Chu. I know him. He is amazing. ?”
At this moment, Wu Xiaoyang's heart was really moved, and he said urgently: "Since you know this so-called genius, can you introduce me?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Pu Yan said, "I'd love to help you, but Mr. Chu has a very special personality. He doesn't easily meet people, let alone teach them. It can be regarded as his student, at most it can be regarded as half of them."
Wu Xiaoyang was still thinking about what to say to her, Pu Yan said: "It's a bit late, we'll talk when we have time."
Wu Xiaoyang said helplessly, "Okay, goodbye."
It was very late at night, Wu Xiaoyang was lying on the bed unable to fall asleep, his whole mind was completely excited, he was thinking about what Pu Yan said.When I think of that mysterious genius, I feel that I am destined to be with him. I have waited for 22 years, as if it was all for this moment, waiting for such a person to appear in my life.There was a voice in his heart telling himself violently that he must know this person.
It was almost 12 noon the next day when Wu Xiaoyang woke up feeling very hungry.just come to the building
Wu Xiaoyang left the personnel section chief's office with brisk steps, with a smug smile on his face from time to time; especially when he thought of the fat pig-like section chief's expression when he heard his classic words, This pride is even more.
The head of the personnel department shook his fat head, which was the same size as his stomach, and said helplessly, "You young people! You don't know how to cherish it."
Wu Xiaoyang smiled secretly: "Yes! It is because I am still young that I don't want to be buried in the loess prematurely together."
The chief of the personnel department sat up in surprise: "What is buried in the loess?"
Wu Xiaoyang didn't hide his pride: "I'm not talking about you."
The head of the personnel department said: "I have heard that you are extremely smart, and you look like that, but you have been in the unit for almost a year, and you have not seen any achievements. You are not as good as others. What a fool." There is something to show." After a pause, he continued: "I wanted to persuade you today, but I actually said that, so let's do it myself."
Wu Xiaoyang clearly saw the anger flickering in the eyes of the obese section chief, but he didn't care, and felt a burst of pleasure instead.At this time, Wu Xiaoyang couldn't understand the true meaning of the words of the annoying section chief in front of him. After all, he was too young, and what life told him was still very superficial.
Near the corner of the house, Wu Xiaoyang felt a sense of joy when he saw Chen Wei, who sells non-staple food, approaching from a distance.This Chen Wei is a good buddy. When we had dinner together last month, he said affectionately: "Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't want your iron job. A talent like you will be a vice president in my company." I wronged you." At that time, I joked and said: "Really? Don't let me be laid off in less than a month." This Chen Wei was anxious when he heard it: "How can I? I will welcome you anytime- -----."
Wu Xiaoyang shouted excitedly to Chen Wei who was walking towards him: "Brother, what are you up to?"
Chen Wei also seemed very happy: "It's you! Come to the Technical Supervision Bureau to do something."
Wu Xiaoyang is still indulging in the beauty of the future: "I'm resigning."
"Really?" Chen Wei's expression flashed a little surprised: "You are simply, what are you going to do in the future?"
Wu Xiaoyang didn't appreciate the surprise of the other party too much, and still said excitedly, "In this way, we can do a lot of work."Suddenly, a flash came to his mind: "Didn't you mention your company last time?" In fact, he never thought about going to the other party's company, but he just said it in a joking way.He hoped that the other party would also joke and say: "Okay, I'm waiting for you, when will you go to work?"
"Okay!" Chen Wei's expression was not only surprised, but also embarrassed: "I still have things to do now, don't forget to call and contact more often."
Wu Xiaoyan didn't finish his words, but the other party walked to open the door while talking, so he had no choice but to raise his hand as a farewell.When I got home, I saw my mother was cooking, and without saying anything, I turned on the TV and started watching.
During the meal, Wu's mother said: "Xiao Yang, you are not young anymore, you should be sensible. It is not easy to find a job now, why would you want to quit? Work safely and securely, and we will talk about it in a few years."
Wu Xiaoyang couldn't help being annoyed: "In a few years, people will be old in a few years, what's the point, I hate that kind of life."
Mother Wu was not angry, but still patiently said: "Life is like this, so if everything goes smoothly, you can quit your job or leave. If you do this, it will be the same wherever you go, and you will not be successful."
"Whether you are successful or not is my business, and you don't need to worry about it." Wu Xiaoyang was even more annoyed: "Since I told you about this last week, you have always been like this. You have never understood me. I decide my own affairs."
"For your own good, you say you don't understand you." Mother Wu sighed: "You have been used to it since you were a child, and you don't listen to good or bad words. When your father comes back from a business trip, let him tell you, anyway, you are not allowed You resign."
Wu Xiaoyang still said angrily: "You will always just say that you have made me used to it, what's wrong with me, I've become a bad person."
Mother Wu's voice suddenly became louder: "Why are you talking to me like this, I'm your mother." Seeing his mother trembling with anger, Wu Xiaoyang couldn't bear it, so he bowed his head and stopped talking, and ate sullenly.
After a while, Wu's mother said, "Xiao Yang, this matter is not a trivial matter. We will discuss it after your father comes back, ah."
Wu Xiaoyang put the empty bowl after eating on the table: "What are you talking about, I've already gone through the formalities."
Mother Wu raised her head, her face full of nervousness: "What procedures have been done?"
Wu Xiaoyang said angrily: "The unit's resignation procedures."
Mother Wu was really annoyed at this moment: "How dare you resign on your own initiative without our consent, do you still have us in your heart?"
Wu Xiaoyang said resolutely: "This is my business, I decide on my own, all the procedures and materials are here, you can read." After speaking, he threw the materials on the table and left the house.
In the deep night, under the neon lights, it seems that all the people have left home, walking or entertaining in various places and corners of the city; naturally, there are all kinds of businessmen who are very busy people.
Wu Xiaoyang followed his friend Zhu Shaojun to a bar on the East Second Ring Road, and saw An Chuanhe, Chen Wei and two other people they didn't know were toasting.Chen Wei introduced: "This is Duan Yong from the Agricultural Bank of China, and this is Director Ding. Although they are over [-] years old, they are very open-minded and young." Then he said to them: "This is my friend Wu Xiaoyang." Everyone nodded.
In the interlacing of glasses, Wu Xiaoyang found that all the people in the bar were inexplicably excited, chatting, drinking heavily, and men and women shuttled among them.
They chatted without saying a word, and Wu Xiaoyang saw that the three of Zhu Shaojun were all trying to curry favor with Director Ding.Duan Yong, on the other hand, has a leisurely look, feeling very satisfied with life, and seems to see the world thoroughly, neither particularly happy nor sad.
Director Ding seemed complacent. Although he was talking and laughing with Zhu Shaojun and the others, he put on a perfunctory look.Wu Xiaoyang felt that he would need his help in doing things in the society in the future, so he raised his wine glass and said with a smile on his face: "Director Ding, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take care of me in the future."
Director Ding picked up his wine glass, touched it casually, and smiled.It was the first time in Wu Xiaoyang's life that he felt being scorned by others, and a kind of deep annoyance that could neither break out nor be reconciled came to his heart.
At this moment, a young and beautiful girl came briskly to Duan Yong, whispering to Duan Yong, her whole expression was very ambiguous.Everyone looked at this pleasing picture tacitly, and saw Duan Yong readily handing over a few hundred dollars to her, the girl smiled brightly, turned and ran away.
Everyone looked at Duan Yong winkingly, and he said: "It's not easy for a girl, so help as many as you can." Everyone said with half-smiles: "Understand, understand."
Chen Wei said: "Brother Yong, in my impression, there are at least a dozen of them. I really admire your energy." Duan Yong smiled, neither admitting nor defending.
The night is fading, time is passing between laughing and laughing, and the bar is still very lively, making people lose the concept of time.They had drunk quite a bit, and everyone walked out of the bar and went home.
When Wu Xiaoyang returned home with drunken eyes, it was almost two o'clock in the night.He didn't care, he opened the door and went straight to his room to sleep.
He didn't wake up until noon the next day, casually went to the snack bar outside to eat something, and went to find Zhu Shaojun and the others.In the evening, we meet again to go to the bar for a drink, but we still have no sense of time, and our eyes are still hazy.
In this kind of unfettered days, Wu Xiaoyang continued to live a life of ecstasy and luxury, like a walking dead.The days of drunkenness and dreaming seemed to be endless, Zhu Shaojun said: "In the evening, Duan Yong asked us to go to the bar for a drink and go together."
In the evening, a group of five of them came to the bar?Looking at the wine on the table, everyone was in high spirits, laughing and laughing one after another.When it was almost twelve o'clock, Wu Xiaoyang got up to go to the bathroom. Just as he was walking back, he saw Duan Yong standing in the aisle and looking at him with a smile.
He laughed and said, "Brother Yong, what are you doing here?"
Duan Yong said: "I told them just now that it's too stuffy here, so come out to get some fresh air. Or, let's go outside and have a chat."
Wu Xiaoyang followed him outside, Duan Yong said: "I'll give you some advice, it's up to you to listen or not, stay away from this environment as soon as possible, you can't afford it at your age."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Why do you say that? Isn't this place very interesting?"
Duan Yong said: "Of course it's fun. Otherwise, why would there be so many people? This is a world where there is only fun, no pursuit, and no idea of tomorrow. It is not suitable for you. Incidents are especially easy to happen in such a place. If something happens to you, your future may change, and it will be a bad change. I hope you stay away from this kind of place, and don’t cause trouble.”
Wu Xiaoyang said: "It makes sense, why don't you leave yourself?"
Duan Yong casually smiled disdainfully: "I'm over 40 years old, and I have already cultivated into an indestructible body. How old are you? Don't think that you are smart and can control everything, but you are not. Although you are very smart, because of your youth, At the same time, the ability of self-control and judgment is relatively weak, how can it be compared? I have nothing to pursue, just want to live every day. But I hope you will not be polluted, this place does not belong to you, don’t Being affected by these messy things affects your future."
Wu Xiaoyang was a little moved: "Why did you say these things to me?"
Duan Yong said: "I always feel that you are different from others and have a unique temperament. Although we have only met a few times, I am deeply impressed by you and feel that you can accomplish great things. This is my A piece of advice, whether you listen to it or not is up to you."
Wu Xiaoyang said, "Thank you Brother Yong for remembering me."
Duan Yong said again: "What kind of person do you think I look like? Is it because my character is extremely bad?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "I don't have much experience in the society, so I can't see it. Occasionally, when people talk about you, they don't give a good opinion. My own feeling is that you have a lot of experience, and you will always have a way to solve all kinds of embarrassing problems. .”
Duan Yong said disapprovingly: "What the world sees is often only the appearance. Who would have the heart to think about the truth behind you? Don't expect anyone to understand yourself."
When the two of them returned to their seats after chatting, they could hear the chaos inside from a distance, as if someone was fighting.The two walked straight in, only to see a young boy just got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and walked out cursing.
When I came to my seat, I realized that it was Zhu Shaojun, An Chuanhe, and Chen Wei who beat the boy who had just left.If it wasn't for the bar owner's persuasion, the result would have been even more serious.Fortunately, things have calmed down, and the bar has resumed its previous hustle and bustle.The same cup lights are intertwined, the same men and women are constantly shuttling, and there is still no concept of time.
Looking at Zhu Shaojun and the others, their eyes were already drunk, and the other people in the bar were also drowsy.Suddenly, Wu Xiaoyang had a strong voice shouting in his heart: "What's wrong with me? How could I get mixed up in this kind of life? What's the difference between this and a dead body?" , Inexplicably, he felt a deep sense of disgust in his heart. He hated this place and himself.
He suddenly felt exhausted.
Wu Xiaoyang has been at home for two days, and he hates this kind of life of eating, drinking and having fun all day without pursuing anything.
After lunch, he went back to his room and lay on the bed. Half asleep and half awake, he walked to a smoky place, and he clearly saw another self.The whole body is surrounded by smoke, and I can't tell whether it is an illusion or a real scene. I just feel that it is so clear and so deep: the misty smoke is rolling in the open world, and it comes to my own at a very fast speed and silently. In front of them, they spread out at the same speed until the end of the sky.
At the end, there is the illusion that Haohan's sky covers the wilderness like a pot.Can't see anything but smoke.I was tumbling during the period, far inferior to a solitary boat in the sea.In my consciousness, I clearly told myself that I should stand up, but all my efforts could only go with the flow, and my heart was full of helpless sadness.
Suddenly, a loud noise exploded above the head.Looking up, I saw a big opening in the middle of the smoke; then, thousands of golden lights poured down from the opening, like rain and dew bathing dry seedlings, slowly sprinkled on my body.In an instant, I felt my whole body was filled with infinite power, and I swung a punch chicly------.
A burst of pain woke him up from the dream. Looking around, he found that in his room, the punch just now hit the left wall.The pain made him quickly gain a clear consciousness, and his whole body relaxed.He didn't intend to get up, and let his thoughts fly across the room, into the vast mountains and land, daydreaming casually.Suddenly, a trace of irritability lingered in his heart, and it became more and more intense, as if urging him to quickly leave the room, leave this suffocating home, and go outside to feel the free air bestowed by God.
Wu Xiaoyang couldn't wait for a second, so he fled the house as fast as he could, and came to the street, but he was lost.He didn't know where he was going, and the people coming and going in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with him.He didn't want to stop, the trouble in his heart still lingered.He was hesitating for no time when the bus just stopped at the next stop, and he walked on it without hesitation.There were not many people in the car, and there were still many empty seats.He found a back seat to do it, but the irritability in his heart became more and more intense, as if something important was about to happen to him.One station after another passed by, Wu Xiaoyang didn't intend to get off the bus, his eyes looked around aimlessly.When he arrived at the terminal, he bought another ticket for the return journey and continued to pass by one station after another without any meaning. The driver turned his head and looked at him several times.Wu Xiaoyang looked at his strange expression and thought it was very funny, but he still didn't think about it, and still looked at the strangers coming and going outside with no connection with him.
When he arrived at the "Dongfeng East Road" station, he turned his head to the inside of the car, and saw a delicate and delicate girl carrying a bag of heavy objects on the car and mopping the floor, looking very strenuous.Wu Xiaoyang stood up and was about to go over to help, but found that she had moved to the side seat, panting with a reddish face, and sat back without making any gestures.
One station after another was left behind, and when we arrived at the "Longquan Road" station, more and more people got on the train.Wu Xiaoyang wanted to get out of the car for a walk, but when he got to the door of the car, he saw the girl moving the bag of things and wanted to get out of the car, so he said to her, "Let me help you."The girl looked up at him, didn't speak, but let go of the hand holding the sack.Wu Xiaoyang picked up the bag with both hands and got out of the car.
He put the bag on a relatively clean ground and said, "Where is your home? How about I help you send it there?" Suddenly, Wu Xiaoyang clearly felt that the irritability that had been haunting his heart today disappeared, replaced by A sense of tranquility.
The girl still didn't speak, Wu Xiaoyang said: "It's really fine, just a little favor, where is it, I'll take it there for you." The girl still didn't speak, but blushed and raised her finger to point more than 200 meters ahead , Wu Xiaoyang picked up the bag and walked with her.
When he arrived at the place pointed by the girl, Wu Xiaoyang saw that it was "Fengyuan Community".The girl still didn't speak to him, but walked quickly to the guard.Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in a security uniform came out and said to Wu Xiaoyang, "Just leave it here with me, and I will notify their family to pick it up later."
Wu Xiaoyang put down the bag and saw the girl standing at the gate looking at him, so he walked up to her and said, "I'm leaving, goodbye." When he turned around, he saw the girl holding the phone in her hand and handing it to her. In front of me, I saw a QR code for adding WeChat.He took out his mobile phone, scanned and added it, and took a look at it. The name on it was Pu Yan, and her own profile picture. He smiled at her, turned and left.
At this time, Wu Xiaoyang would never have imagined that today's chance encounter with this delicate girl would completely change the trajectory of his life.
When it was getting dark, Wu Xiaoyang was thinking about going outside to play when he heard the voice of a WeChat message from his mobile phone.Seeing that it was sent by the girl named Pu Yan whom I met during the day, it was just a few words: "What are you doing?"
Wu Xiaoyang replied: "I'm at home and I'm planning to go out, how about you?"
"It's nothing." Pu Yan said, "I wanted to chat with you, but since you have something to do, go get busy."
Wu Xiaoyang had a particularly good impression of this girl, and said: "It's nothing special, just playing with friends, it's okay if you don't go."
Pu Yan quickly sent a mischievous expression over.Wu Xiaoyang said, "Are you still studying?"
Pu Yan said, "I still look like a student, don't I?"
"Of course." Wu Xiaoyang said, "If you don't look like a student, then there is no need for schools in the world."
Pu Yan immediately sent a very happy expression and said, "You really make people happy when you talk."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "On the contrary, everyone I know thinks my words are hurtful and difficult to get along with."
Pu Yan was silent for a while and said, "What do you mean? You make people feel good."
"The fact is." Wu Xiaoyang said: "22 years of life experience tell me that when I first met, people had a good impression of me. After getting along for a long time, most people's evaluation of me is more negative."
Pu Yan said, "Why is this happening?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "They think that I am self-willed and hurt people with my words. To describe it in one sentence, I am not a good person and I often think I am self-righteous."
Pu Yan said: "There should be people saying that you look very proud, right?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Yes, you are really smart."
"Really smart?" Pu Yan said, "It means that you thought I was smart before we chatted just now."
"Yes." Wu Xiaoyang said: "Your impression, if you can express it in one word, 'elegant and smart' is more appropriate."
Pu Yan immediately sent a happy emoji, and then said: "I like this word, I like it very much. I didn't expect that we could chat like this. Thank you for bringing me happiness, including your help during the day."
Wu Xiaoyang felt that chatting with her was very casual and relaxed. There was no need for modesty or affectation, and there was absolutely no sophistication that parents and elders used to say.He said: "Usually with friends, although we act rashly and have no scruples, it is difficult to have the joy of talking freely; and I have this feeling now, and I am very happy to meet you."
Pu Yan said, "Me too."
After a short silence, Pu Yan said: "You may have something to do, why don't you go to your business first, we will talk when we have time, you can contact me at any time."
Wu Xiaoyan didn't finish his words, but he still said, "Okay, let's get back in touch."
Just put down the phone, thinking about what to do?The phone rang again suddenly, and it turned out that it was from my friend Zhu Shaojun.He has been annoyed by these people these two days. He is like a walking dead all day long.Immediately afterwards, it rang again. Seeing that it was the same phone call just now, he answered helplessly and said, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Shaojun said: "Come here quickly, we are at Xiulin Tea House."
After Wu Xiaoyang arrived reluctantly, he saw Chen Wei, An Chuanhe, and Zhu Shaojun waiting.He said, "What's the rush?"
"Things are a bit troublesome." Chen Wei said: "Didn't we hang out in a bar a few days ago? The person we beat was a gangster, and now dozens of people have gathered to trouble us, so I came to you Let's discuss what to do?"
Wu Xiaoyang looked at their expressions and knew that they had already discussed it.He was very unwilling to get involved in these things, but if he wanted to avoid it, he felt that he was not loyal enough to be a friend, so he didn't know what to do for a while.He said, "What do you think?"
Chen Wei said: "We don't have any good solution at the moment. You are smarter, so I ask you to come up with an idea."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "I have no experience in this area, so I don't know what is the best way. What do you think? Are you going to fight them to the end?"
Zhu Shaojun said: "If we want to fight, we definitely can't, because they are all people who are mixed in the society, and there are a lot of people. We think it is best to negotiate with them to see if there is a good solution."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "This is also a good solution once and for all, you can try it."
Chen Wei said: "You are good at talking, and besides, you are not the person involved, so you represent us to talk to them."
Only then did Wu Xiaoyang understand why they hurriedly called him here.
When he came out of the tea house, he was very depressed, and there was a voice in his heart that kept asking: "Is this kind of life, this kind of life, what I want? Why is it like this, and I can't be in a daze anymore." It’s gone, it has to change.”
When he got home, he didn't want to watch TV either, so he went straight back to his room, and couldn't help but fell into a deep confusion about his future.He suddenly thought of Pu Yan, quickly took out his mobile phone, and sent a WeChat message by voice: "What are you doing? If you are not busy, let's chat."
After a while, Pu Yan replied in text: "I'm reading at home, have you gone home yet?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "I just came back and want to chat with you, is it convenient?"
Pu Yan still wrote: "Of course, I am not inconvenient. Going home so soon? Isn't it fun outside?"
Wu Xiaoyang himself didn't know the reason, but he said: "Hey, life is really boring, very boring."
Pu Yan still said mischievously in words: "This is the life consultation desk. I am Pu Yan, the chief consultant. If you have anything to say, please speak. I will be happy to answer your questions."
Wu Xiaoyang felt relaxed all of a sudden, and had an urge to talk about what was in his heart. He continued to say: "More than ten days ago, I resigned from the unit and spent all day eating, drinking and having fun with a few friends. This kind of life has passed for more than ten days until tonight. At first, I thought this kind of life was very good and free, but now I feel very disgusted, because this is not what I want at all, and I feel like a walking dead. , A complete waste. I don’t want to go on like this anymore, but I don’t know what to do, and I am very confused.”
Pu Yan said, "I'm listening, you continue."
"Do you know?" Wu Xiaoyang said: "Just a few days ago, some of our friends had conflicts with others when we were drinking in a bar. At that time, I happened to be talking to a friend outside the door, and I didn't participate. There was only one person on the other side, and there were three people on our side, so we beat them up. Although both parties were at fault, it was the other person who was injured after all. After a few days of calm, everyone thought that this incident The matter is over. Just this evening, my friend asked me to discuss and said that the other party had gathered dozens of people who were in the society to take revenge. Of course, they were not targeting me, because I did not participate. To be honest, I am not afraid, but I am very disgusted and hate this kind of life. Therefore, on the way home from them, I kept flashing voices in my mind that this must not go on like this and that I want to change. I can no longer go back to my original unit I don’t have anything formal to do. When I resigned, my family was very opposed to it, but I just didn’t listen, thinking that my choice was the most correct, and I could show my talents well in society. Looking back now I thought, my parents’ thinking is still reasonable. But it is impossible to turn back, I can only go forward, but I don’t know how to go, so I am very confused, this is what I think.”
Pu Yan said: "I know that people with strong personalities will not say such things to others casually, but you said it, and what you said was very true and direct. I have a sense of happiness that I am trusted."
Wu Xiaoyang said, "You didn't laugh at me, did you?"
"How could it be?" Pu Yan said, "I am enjoying the joy of being trusted, and at the same time, I am also thinking about how to answer the question you just asked."
"After I told you these words, I feel much better." Wu Xiaoyang said, "Actually, this question is quite difficult. Only people with life experience will know what to do. You are too young. I don't expect to get a good answer. If you can listen to me patiently, it will be very good."
Pu Yan said, "Are you underestimating me?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "How could it be? It's just that this question is difficult, and you are still too young."
Pu Yan said: "Yes, you said that the question is really difficult, let alone a 20-year-old young man, even a middle-aged man, it is difficult to have a better answer; however, you are very lucky, I Do you really know what to do?"
Wu Xiaoyang still couldn't believe it, and said with a smile, "Really? Then I'm so happy."
"Is it necessary for me to tell lies?" Pu Yan said: "Let's put it this way, because of some special reasons, I can really answer your question, and I am serious."
Only then did Wu Xiaoyang start to feel a little moved. Although he had only met him once, he could feel that Pu Yan was not a person who talked big or false.He said, "Okay, I believe it."
"Hehe, it was so easy to surrender. Fortunately, it was not a time of war, otherwise, you would probably be a big traitor." Pu Yan continued: "Let's talk about the topic now. Before answering your question, let me talk about my feelings It’s not related, but it’s actually very related.”
Wu Xiaoyang said, "Okay, I'll listen."
Pu Yan said: "Why is Guan Zhong, who is known as the first prime minister of China, doing nothing when he was a soldier, but achieved great results after becoming a prime minister; Li Yu, Empress of the Tang Dynasty, why did his country go bankrupt and his family perish."
Wu Xiaoyang was stunned. A second ago, he thought that he had read a lot of books for many years, and he didn't have any knowledge problems to stump him.Now facing the several incidents Pu Yan mentioned, she couldn't answer any of them.For the first time, he felt the frustration of being defeated, and it was a delicate girl.He hesitated for a long time, and said: "I know all these things you said, but I have never thought about the reasons carefully. To be honest, I don't know why?"
"To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple. It's a matter of position." Pu Yan said: "I have heard people say that everyone has only one destiny. If your current career and life are in line with this destiny, you will It will go smoothly; otherwise, you will be exhausted and do nothing. This is the effect of position, referred to as 'position effect'."
"Position effect?" Wu Xiaoyang said, "It sounds simple when you hear it, but it's very profound when you think about it."
"Of course, this is the most important thing in a person's life." Knowing that Wu Xiaoyang was thinking, Pu Yan paused for a while before saying, "Do you really know yourself? Can you clearly know what kind of person you are?" ?”
This seemingly simple question stumped Wu Xiaoyang again, he had never seriously thought about these things.It can be said that the person who understands oneself best is oneself, but it can also be said that the person who understands oneself the least is also oneself. If you want to specifically talk about what kind of person you are, you really can’t say it.He said: "I still haven't thought about it, I don't know, I will think about it tonight. I just remembered that when I was in the third year of high school a few years ago, I once knew a teacher named Zhang. The gossip is very well researched, and they commented on me, saying that my comprehension is very high, and I will have great achievements in the future. It’s just that since then, when I went to college and then went to work, I didn’t feel any sense of superiority or accomplishment. In the three years of university, the thing I do not regret the most is to read a lot of books. There are all kinds of books. It can be said that I have read a lot of books. I don’t seem to have any commendable performance in other aspects. I just barely passed the graduation. The teacher said that I do not do my job properly, read some messy books all day long, and did not devote my mind to study. But I really do not regret it. Through reading, I know how vast the world is, understand the vastness of the ocean of knowledge, and see Legendary stories of those masters -----. In short, I have not forgotten what Teacher Zhang told me, and I have indeed done it."
"There are two reasons why people are confused." Pu Yan said: "One is that they don't really know themselves, and the other is that they don't find their own position. As long as these two problems are solved, people will no longer be confused. Of course, this Both problems are not simple. Not only do you need enough courage to face your own heart, but you also need wise analysis to determine your position. This is not about me, I don’t have that much ability. In fact, I Some of the things I told you, even I don’t really understand, but I firmly tell you that it is correct.”
Wu Xiaoyang was very strange: "Since you don't understand, how can you firmly believe that it is correct? This is not logical."
"This is indeed a seemingly contradictory issue." Pu Yan said: "If you don't experience it yourself, it is difficult to have this understanding. Because the person who said these words is a real wise man and a very remarkable person. "
Wu Xiaoyang seemed to be talking to himself: "A wise man? Very remarkable? Is there such a person in reality?"
Pu Yan said: "You should be able to see that I am not a person who likes to talk and tell lies."
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Yes, you are not, I believe what you said, but I still can't understand what it means?"
"Let me tell you a little secret." Pu Yan said, "Did you know there is a 'Cangshan Summit' in China?"
Wu Xiaoyang said: "Occasionally I saw it in the news, but I know very little about it, and I don't understand the content at all."
Pu Yan said: "On the Cangshan Mountain in Dali, Yunnan, a cultural summit will be held every five years. After the end, a list will be released, referred to as the 'Cangshan List'. There are rumors that as long as it is on this list People will become important figures in the Chinese cultural circle. There is also a saying in the society: "Cao is a genius in the South and North, and the stars in Cangshan bless China." The first sentence refers to three people, and the latter sentence is very easy to understand , I believe you know."
Wu Xiaoyang was immediately interested: "Who are those three people?"
Pu Yan said: "Nansu refers to a teacher surnamed Su who lives in Guangzhou; Beicao refers to a teacher surnamed Cao who lives in Beijing; the person called Wizard is Teacher Chu. I know him. He is amazing. ?”
At this moment, Wu Xiaoyang's heart was really moved, and he said urgently: "Since you know this so-called genius, can you introduce me?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Pu Yan said, "I'd love to help you, but Mr. Chu has a very special personality. He doesn't easily meet people, let alone teach them. It can be regarded as his student, at most it can be regarded as half of them."
Wu Xiaoyang was still thinking about what to say to her, Pu Yan said: "It's a bit late, we'll talk when we have time."
Wu Xiaoyang said helplessly, "Okay, goodbye."
It was very late at night, Wu Xiaoyang was lying on the bed unable to fall asleep, his whole mind was completely excited, he was thinking about what Pu Yan said.When I think of that mysterious genius, I feel that I am destined to be with him. I have waited for 22 years, as if it was all for this moment, waiting for such a person to appear in my life.There was a voice in his heart telling himself violently that he must know this person.
It was almost 12 noon the next day when Wu Xiaoyang woke up feeling very hungry.just come to the building
