I temporarily stopped communicating with Yang Congqing, filled a glass of beer, then drank it all, put down the cup, and looked out the window through the glass window. In fact, the sky in Beijing is not as gloomy as the legendary one. The sky is blue at this moment. The autumn sun is gentle on the buildings made of steel and concrete, as if it has given this ancient city a little extra peace. I couldn't help but look a little fascinated...

Yang Congrong didn't bother me, but just drank another bottle of beer alone and lit a cigarette alone. It seemed that he was thinking about something, or thinking about nothing was important, because as long as people live, they must think and reflect. No one can live perfectly. Yang Congrong has worked hard in the mall for so many years, so there must be something he needs to reflect on.

A long time later, I finally came back to my senses and said to him: "Uncle Yang, thank you for your hospitality today. Your words are also very helpful to me. It's just that I need some time to figure out some things..."

Yang Cong-chan nodded calmly and said, "Your thinking is your own. Other people's words are just for reference, but I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. For Luku, Jian Wei and I have devoted a lot of effort, so we must clarify a direction as soon as possible for future development. This is the most undelayed thing at this stage."

"I understand... if I'm really incompatible with this company, I'll quit."

This is the first time I have said the word "exit" in front of Yang Congrong, an investor. He looked at me in surprise...

I said to him again: "Uncle Yang, I know you are worried that my withdrawal will affect Jian Wei and make her want to withdraw. I think you don't have to worry too much about this. Although Jian Wei is paranoid, she is also a successful businessman. She has her own judgment on business interests. Even if I withdraw, she will never give up Luku, a company that is about to set sail."

Yang Congqing pondered for a while and said, "This is indeed my biggest concern. Can you guarantee to me about Jian Wei's not quit?"

I looked at him and replied firmly: "I can."

.........

After the calm meeting with Yang Cong-chan, I seemed to be walking on the streets of Beijing in another lifetime. I wanted to take advantage of the bright sunshine and walk alone in this not-familiar city.

At this time, I was a little confused about the future. Giving up Luku is not something that can make decisions immediately for me, because giving up Luku means that I will give up everything I have now and the opportunity to stand at the peak of the business world in the future... Then I realized that when personality really conflicts with material things, it is so difficult to make a choice. Maybe I am afraid of hard life, but the reality of being unable to do so makes me feel even more uncomfortable, so I still have to make a choice after all.

This afternoon, I kept walking and stopping on the streets of Beijing, sometimes passing through the alleys, sometimes walking through the bustling blocks with the flow of people, and the sky became so dark. I raised my wrist and looked at the time. It was already 6 o'clock in the evening.

Today I don’t plan to go back to Suzhou. I plan to live in the international city of Beijing for one night. I have already thought about it: I will book a hotel later, then buy some beer, find a hill that can see the night view, temporarily escape the bottomless pit of reality, and then imagine the loneliness of only one person as a kind of enjoyment. This is the most effective way to relieve stress that I have learned in recent years.

After booking the hotel, I arrived at an unknown hill under the guidance of the taxi driver. The moment I reached the top of the mountain, I found that I could really look at this extremely prosperous city with a leaning over. I couldn't help but thank the driver. It was his leadership that made me able to spend an imagined night. If the night was not too cold, I even planned to sleep on this undisturbed mountain top for a night. The night here was really beautiful!

Taking off a few maple leaves that fell on the cement guardrail, I turned over and sat on the guardrail, tore open the beer, and just took a sip, I felt a little dazed. So the brilliant neon light at the foot of the mountain exudes the glitz of the prosperous times, and in this glitz, I seemed to suddenly see countless souls that were hideous because of fame and fortune. I watched it for a long time before I raised my hand, drank a whole can of beer, and then completely empty myself, ignoring the glitz of the world. I really don’t want to waste this precious night.

The phone broke the tranquility and rang. I subconsciously thought it was from Mi Cai, and I even planned to have a video call, asking her to see how the night view of Beijing was presented at the foot of this mountain. However, after looking at the caller ID, I found that it was from Le Yao. I thought I was planning to call me for a meal. After all, we are still friends and are in Beijing together, so eating is naturally inevitable.

After answering the phone, Le Yao said indeed: "Zhaoyang, where are you? Let's have a meal at Xiangshan Hotel."

I replied subconsciously: "No, there are so many of you, I don't want to join in the fun."

"It's funny, who told you that we have so many people?"

"Uh... I think so subconsciously. After all, Beijing is your home court, and it's Xiangshan Hotel. It's so formal, there must be many people!"

"No, it's just the two of us, come here quickly, or tell me where I'll drive to pick you up."

I looked around and replied, "I'm on a hill, and I really don't know where I am."

Le Yao had a very flexible mind and said to me: "If you open the positioning of your phone, you will see that there is no place I am not familiar with in Beijing. As long as you sign up for a place name, you will find you in minutes."

A cold wind blew, and I was a little cold. I thought I could not spend the night on the top of the mountain tonight, and the journey down the mountain was too long, so I simply asked Le Yao to drive to pick me up, so I turned on the positioning function of my phone and immediately reported the address to her.

.........

During the period when Le Yao had not arrived, I drank two cans of beer and smoked a few cigarettes, barely satisfying my demand for this night, but I was still a little nostalgic about it, hoping that Le Yao would arrive later, but at this time a dazzling light tear open the dark side of the night, and then a car stopped behind me and then turned off the engine.

I looked back and parked not far away was a white Porsche panamera, and then I saw Le Yao wearing a light blue trench coat. She also had a black and white plaid scarf tied around her neck. This outfit made me rarely see a ladylike temperament on her body, and I couldn't help but take a look.

She came to me, deliberately posing as a shy gesture and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? I'm sorry!"

I replied with a stern face: "It's dark and windy this month. I advise you not to show off in front of a man..."

"Yes, especially if you can't pose in front of a beast-like man, he will not be able to control himself!"
