This night, I seemed to have found a long-lost feeling, so I drank a little high, so I felt like I wanted to vomit before I left the dining table. In order not to cause trouble for Fang Yuan and his wife, I hurried to the balcony and opened the window to let the wind blow away the sudden vomiting.

The cold wind blew the smell of winter. My face was a little stiff in this biting cold, but I was looking at the distance persistently, because I was illusioned that besides the cold, this gust of wind would also bring news about Mi Cai. I wanted to know what she was doing at this time, but we had not contacted each other for two days.

Yan Yan brought a cup of tea, and I took it from her. She was afraid that she would get cold and cold, so she hurriedly instructed her to leave, but she closed the window and seemed to have something to say to me.

I took a sip of water, said with a questioning smile, "What's wrong, look at me with this kind of eyes?"

Yan Yan wanted to speak but stopped, but finally shook her head at me and just asked, "Zhaoyang, do you like your current life?"

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol. I didn’t think too much about it, so I replied: “Of course I like it. My life is not bad now. At least I can still look at my future life with expectations.”

Yan Yan finally smiled, but lowered her voice and sighed and said to me: "Some things may really be destined by heaven. You have your own blessing. Although you have lived a bad life in the middle, you finally met a woman who can move you."

"Yes." I responded, and couldn't help but look at the distance where I couldn't see her in my thoughts.

Yan Yan's voice became even lighter: "Just take it as a blessing in disguise, you should live your life in the future... Zhaoyang, you are really a righteous man. Even though others have done something unforgivable to you, you still get your own happiness because God is fair!"

"Who did something unforgivable to me?"

Yan Yan looked at me and replied for a long time: "I'm just an example!"

I smiled and said, "This is really thrilling, as if I have been living in a huge lie... Fortunately, this is just an example!"

Yan Yan nodded and said to me again: "You have drunk so much wine, don't go back tonight. I have just cleaned up the bed in the guest room, all of which are new bedding."

......

It was late at night, and Fang Yuan and I were lying on the bed, left and right. In the image, since we left the university dormitory, we have never been lying on the same bed and chatting like we are now.

We lit a cigarette each. Fang Yuan sighed while looking for the ashtray, "Time flies so fast. It has been 4 years since we graduated from college... Zhaoyang, do you believe that since I graduated from college, I have never lie in bed and smoked cigarettes. Thinking about it, I was the freedom I had when I was in college, and I was completely unrestrained."

"What you mean is: I, Zhaoyang, still write the word freedom on my face? My habit of smoking in bed has not changed until now!"

Fang Yuan put an ashtray on the bed cabinet next to me, bounced the ash in his hand and smiled: "I'm afraid the few brothers in our dormitory are you the most persistent. I think you have not changed much compared to when you were in college!"

"Are you praising me or belittle me?"

Fang Yuan put out the cigarette that he had taken only one sip, lay back on the bed, pillowed on his arm, and said to me: "Zhaoyang, I really envy you... In the past few years, you have not changed your initial unruly and restlessness. You may not work harder than others in your career, but your life is the most promising. Now everyone can see this sign. Maybe it won't take long before you will leave us brothers behind!"

"What does this mean?... Do you think I have met several capable women? They supported my career?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said, "Can you deny this? Although I have always recognized your ability, you can't get to this point without the support of others... Zhaoyang, we are brothers for so many years, so I don't care about saying these words to you. In addition to envying, I also hope that you can make good use of the opportunities at this stage to lay a solid foundation to deal with possible risks in the future... After all, the mall is changing rapidly, neither Jian Wei nor Yang Congrong Mr. Yang, you can guarantee you for the rest of your life."

I felt a little uncomfortable, but I couldn't deny the rationality of Fang Yuan's words. Looking back on the path I've taken in my career, I'm afraid that the efforts will not match my current possession. Only brothers like Fang Yuan will point out this problem in person and arouse my sense of crisis.

I took a deep breath of cigarette and finally said to Fang Yuan: "I understand... I also want to make some achievements in the mall independently, but now I can no longer get tired!"

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Since you have such good resources around you, why do you still have to withdraw? ... You should use these resources reasonably to do your own business. When you really stand at the top of the mall, no one will care about what you have used, because at that time, your light and energy have already covered everything!"

I pondered for a long time before saying to Fang Yuan: "I remember I just told you that I didn't have such great revenge. I could live simply and ask for food and clothing without worries. But I don't think there is anything wrong with you thinking like this. But people must have a bottom line. While achieving their goals, they must also take into account the moral standards of this society and the legal dignity of the country."

Fang Yuan picked up the cigarette that had only taken one sip of the ashtray, lit it, took a sip, and then smiled and said to me: "I'm just telling you these words. Even if I think so, I don't have the conditions to do this. In fact, like you, I feel quite satisfied with my life now. After all, in this city where people are drinking blood, I have a house, a car, and a wife who loves me deeply..."

I added: "There is another baby who is about to be born... What you have now is really not something we can reach... Look at Xiang Chen and I, and we are still struggling to get married!"

"It's a matter of time before you get married... Come on, I'll be like this in my life, but you are different from Xiang Chen. You all have the potential to become the leader of this society. Brothers are really looking forward to the day when you see you standing at the peak of business and guide the country!"

I smiled and said, "Tell me the country? Stop talking... In fact, if you can live like you now, I feel that the value of life has been realized!"

"Don't you believe my eyes?"

"If I don't believe that if I were really a business-filled ambition and revenge, I wouldn't have been addicted to music and feelings for so many years..."

Fang Yuan looked at me and smiled. Finally realized that there was no point in continuing the topic with me, so he fell into silence. I suddenly remembered the agreement he made with Mi Cai before Mi Cai left, and asked him: "How are you doing recently at Zhuomei?"

Fang Yuan breathed heavily, as if releasing the pressure on himself. He said to me: "I am currently in charge of the Christmas event plan. I have already made a military order with the board of directors. During this Christmas event, Zhuomei Shopping's turnover will definitely reach twice that of Polygon. Otherwise, I will resign... If it succeeds, even if I give Mr. Mi a gift before the listing results come out, I hope it can increase the bargaining chips for the success of the listing!"

"Why are you doing this? You have worked in both department stores. No one knows better than you. It is impossible to achieve Jomei's turnover to twice that of Polygon. You should not bet on your career prospects for this...!"

Fang Yuan's expression became obviously anxious, and he extinguished the cigarette in his hand again, and said to me with some difficulty: "This is what President Mi and I promised. As a man, I should be responsible for my promise... I think that only by winning the Christmas that must be fought for in the department store industry with an absolute advantage can I truly gain Mr Mi's trust, otherwise it would be meaningless to compromise with Zhuomei!"

I looked at him with concern and said for a long time: "It's really good that you have this idea, but you are obviously in a state of mind. I'm worried that you can't achieve this basically impossible goal."

Fang Yuan was silent for a long time, patted my shoulder, smiled and said, "I still have some time to go before Christmas. I will adjust my condition as soon as possible. Besides, I can't let the best brothers not get down to the steps in front of my own women... I have to achieve this goal set by myself in terms of emotion and reason!"

At this moment, I even felt the pressure facing Fang Yuan. After breathing heavily, I finally nodded and said, "As a brother, I will definitely support you. Besides, miracles are left to people to create. With your current efforts and determination, this goal may not be impossible to achieve!"

Fang Yuan nodded, and I asked him again: "Does Mi Cai know about you and the board of directors' orders?"

"This is what I and the board of directors decided at this evening's meeting. I don't know if it has been reported to Mr. Mi now, but I think: Chen Jingming should report this matter to Mr. Mi, so she will know sooner or later."

I suggested: "I think it is best for you to report to Micai. After all, the main purpose is to fulfill the promise you made to her before. Moreover, your direct communication will appear more natural and make her feel your determination more. This will help her dispel your concerns!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while and replied: "What you said makes sense. If Mr. Mi learned about this through Mr. Chen's mouth, it would seem that I was emotional about her. I should report this matter directly to her!"

"Well, then you can call her now, it's just her working time."
