Jian Wei asked in my eyes: "You don't say a word, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering when I can stand at the peak of the business world you're talking about."

"The road is long and arduous, and you will search up and down."

I nodded solemnly to Jian Wei's encouragement. Since I have set my goals for myself, I have to constantly explore and strive in my sweat.

That night, Jian Wei seemed to have a good appetite. She ate two small bowls of rice in a row, but I only ate one bowl.

Jian Wei scooped me a bowl of vegetable soup and asked, "Zhaoyang, are you very fond of appetite?"

"You have a great appetite."

"I have a lot of work intensity recently, and I have a good appetite, so I can have a good health."

Jian Wei's good attitude made me smile and asked, "In addition to Jinding Real Estate's business, have you received other large advertising orders recently?"

"I used all the 50% advance payment paid by Jinding Real Estate to open up advertising channels, mainly large outdoor billboards, so recently I received a lot of advertising orders for real estate and 4S stores."

"Then congratulations."

"It's too early to congratulate."

"I think it's timely!"

Jian Wei put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and said to me: "When my Simei Advertising is more famous in the industry than Jian Boyu's (Jian Wei's father) advertising company, congratulations to me!"

I smiled and said, "You just call your dad his name!"

"What's the point of making a fuss about it? Didn't you just scream like that a few years ago? Of course, when you are in a good mood, you will still call him dad."

Jian Wei's self-action did not arouse my disgust, but on the contrary made me feel a little sad because she had made a big fuss with her parents with such a personality.

...

After dinner, Jian Wei and I were mingling among the crowd on the street, digesting the feeling of fullness by walking. In fact, we have not walked on the street with the purpose of walking for many years. The half-cold and half-warm spring seems to be close to us, but the two of us can no longer find the artistic conception when we were together, because I don’t want to be content with the situation anymore, and she doesn’t want to find the unrestrained pleasure in my peace with the situation.

When we were tired of walking, we sat on the curb on the street. As usual, I took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it. Jian Wei pounded her legs lightly to relieve fatigue.

After a while, she asked me: "I will meet Jian Boyu and Uncle Yang Congrong tomorrow. Are you very nervous?"

I smiled and said, "It seems like I'm trying my best."

"Tomorrow, you really have to act desperately. Those two old birds in the world, if you don't have such a momentum, you won't be able to suppress them."

"Can I call you Domineering Sister?"

Jian Wei looked at me and said seriously: "Zhaoyang, I didn't joke with you. As a man, you must have the awareness of not being afraid of fighting hard or being ordinary."

"Okay, even if you can't become a hero tomorrow, you must be a hero!"

Jian Wei patted my shoulder and praised, "Good example, I admire you!"

"sister?"

Jian Wei was stunned and said, "Aren't you just calling me Domineering Sister? Is there something wrong with me now?"

"There's a problem, after all, you're going to be several months younger than me."

"Sister is determined by his status in the world. Don't use age or something as a basis!"

When she was bickering with me, I subconsciously placed my hand on her head and then fucked her randomly until her capable short workplace hair was completely gone.

Jian Wei looked up at me angrily, and I felt a little frightened... I felt that my behavior was a little out of bounds, but we did make such a fuss in the past.

I realized again: after spending a long time alone with Jian Wei, it would be easy to confuse the past and the present, because the memories of the past were flowing in my body with my blood.

I was silent for a long time before saying to Jane Wei: "Sorry, I shouldn't have made your hair so messy."

"Don't do this in the future."

"I know."

Jian Wei looked at me, her eyes were a little wet, but she said to me with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing to mess it up, but you can no longer comb it back for me like you used to."

I understand that this is Jian Wei reminding me to face up to the current relationship between each other, but it makes me feel a little sad, but it is hard to explain where the sadness is. Sometimes people's minds are so subtle and not controlled by themselves.

...

This night, I didn't stay with Jian Wei for too long, because I didn't want to trap myself in the whirlpool of memories, nor did I want to let my assurances to Mi Cai turn into an irresponsible lie.

Back in the old house, after a simple washing up, I lay on the bed, recalling some of the conversations I had just had with Jian Wei.

She told me: What men are afraid of is not hard work, but ordinary.

This sentence comes from a woman's mouth, which is truly and domineering, but it doesn't make sense. What I lack over the years is this kind of momentum. So a few years ago, I never guaranteed anything in front of Jian Wei's father with this momentum, so from the very beginning, I failed to leave any good image for him, a strong man in the business world.

At that time, I always thought it would be good to live with the flow, so why did I make myself so tired and troubled in a short period of time?

Although she later worked hard after Jane Wei went to the United States under pressure, when she and I broke up, all the motivation for struggle collapsed in an instant, and from then on a negative path of no return.

I understand more deeply: in my bones, I have always lacked this momentum, so I used to collapse so easily.

And now?

Now, I am really afraid of this ordinary, because I will never forget Mi Lan's appearance of showing off her power in front of me with her wealth. I also remember that when I went to celebrate Mi Zhongde's birthday, no one paid attention to her and could only hide in the corner alone. I also remember the expectations of Ban Dad, Mom, Mi Cai, Le Yao, and even Jian Wei for me.

Thinking about it, I turned off the light and lit a cigarette for myself in the darkness. I longed to be reborn in the ashes after smoking this cigarette, and enjoy the sense of control of strategizing in the rebirth of desire.

...

Just as I was immersed in the past and present, I received a message from Mi Cai again, and she was also concerned about the result of the interview with Yang Congrong.

I quickly replied to her: "The time for our interview is set at noon, and we will have a meal together."

"Well, although the special promotion is very tempting, you should not put too much pressure on yourself. Just face gains and losses with a normal mind."

"Premium heart? What are you kidding! Today I just tried hard to do it. No matter how hard he is, he has to do this."

"This is not like you, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't be afraid of hard work, or ordinary!"
