While I discovered Wei Ran, he also found me standing opposite the street. Although we were disgusted with each other, this encounter seemed destined because our mood was all affected by Zhuomei's Christmas Eve.

The cold wind blew to the north with the humid smell of the air. The harsh environment was inconsequential. At this time, a crazy shopping wave was going on in the shopping mall behind him. But isn’t this the world? All phenomena that have not been deeply understood are always just appearances. For example, in front of him, he stood like a sculpture, letting the cold wind blow by, and he didn’t even stomp his feet, but is the soul wrapped in the flesh so quiet? ...I don’t know!

I subconsciously tucked my collar, lit a cigarette, and found some unreal warmth before walking towards the opposite street. I didn't know what to say to him, but I still came to him.

His eyes finally moved away from Jumei's shining sign. Looking at me, I pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him: "Do you smoke?"

He took it from me and I helped him ignite it. He sucked it clumsyly. When he was about to finish it, he finally said to me: "Zh's disinvestment statement has been handed over to Zhuomei's board of directors. After Mi Cai returns to China and the board members approve it, the disinvestment can be completed."

I looked at him in shock because I, who is close to Zhuomei, knew nothing about the news. When she was talking to Micai, she never mentioned that as Zhuomei's current chairman, there was no reason not to know about this.

I asked, "When did it happen?"

“This afternoon.”

"Does she know about Micai?"

"We have already passed the words, and she does not object to the withdrawal of Zhuomei." Weiran smiled and said, "She promised me that she would get the capital corresponding to my shares from Zhuomei, and would not have to bear the losses caused by the withdrawal of Zhuomei. I believe she has already had a way out, but in fact she has not really trusted me."

"You look at the problem too extreme. You should see the other side of Mi Cai's decision. At this time, the blow to Zhuomei caused by zh's withdrawal from Zhuomei is almost devastating. According to the cooperation agreement between zh and Zhuomei, you unilaterally terminate the cooperation early, and you will inevitably suffer the losses caused to Zhuomei after the withdrawal. She has given you this promise, which is already a favor."

Weiran smiled: "You outsiders will never know how much contribution zh investment has made to Zhuomei and how much capital it has invested. If it weren't for Zhuomei's investment, Zhuomei wouldn't exist a few years ago or was acquired!"

"Everyone who is talking about you knows that there is indeed no Zhuomei today without the original zh. But the mall is not a place to talk about human feelings. If you didn't play this capital game well, you will inevitably have to bear the corresponding consequences."

Weiran fell into a very long silence. The cold wind made my whole face numb, but I endured it and waited...

Weiran finally spoke again: "You are right. In this capital game, I was defeated, but I just lost to myself. After the group completes the final asset liquidation, I will take the money I received from Zhuomei to the United States... One day, I will make a comeback."

"I hope you succeed."

Weiran took a deep breath of cigarette and said, "I have done too many things wrong over the years because of my wealth. Perhaps in the eyes of others, people like us can be filled with pleasure in spending money excessively and should not have troubles. However, behind us, there are also expectations and disappointment from parents. In the past, I always ignored everything because of the love I couldn't get. When I really failed, I realized how stupid I was... So, I should try to let go, maybe I will be much easier than I am now!"

After stopping, he finally made a decision and said to me: "I hope you will treat her well... If you dare to let her down, your soul will be severely punished!"

Weiran's obvious American expression did not arouse my disgust. He nodded and said, "It is my lifelong responsibility to be good to her. If I let her down, I would rather fall into my soul and never be reborn."

"Dare to make promises with your soul, I believe you are a person with faith... Then I will not be stingy with my blessings. I wish you happiness. I hope you can give her a complete family. In her heart, the integrity of the family may be greater than love."

"Thank you for your reminder, and I hope you can hear the news of your rise again in the United States in the future."

......

My conversation with Wei Ran was stopped after a cigarette. He left before me, as if in the blink of an eye, and I was still looking for my own car nearby. So this strange separation seemed to tear the thick night, causing the snowflakes to fall down even more unrestrainedly.

I walked all the way and then I realized that I was heading in the opposite direction. The car was parked in the block opposite. It was not far apart, but I made a long distance because of my own vagueness. So I was a little discouraged and sat on the bus platform, planning to rest for a while before going to the block where my car was parked.

Once the body is still, his thinking is often reversely active. Wei Ran, a person who is not familiar to me, has become clearer because of this meeting. At this time, he is completely different from him in the past, less arrogant and more reflection. Perhaps this is the growth brought to him by disasters. This growth will become his most precious wealth in the future, because in my opinion, he has gradually recognized the reality of himself and this society... I am somewhat looking forward to whether he can make a comeback in the future, and I will not be stingy in blessings, hoping that he can complete his transformation in this major change.

His choice to leave finally allowed him to go away from my story, but this is definitely not my regret. On the contrary, I want to thank him for his choice. This made it possible to be together with Mi Cai and me a smooth thing. The obstruction and separation he once gave us was also a disaster for Mi Cai and me, but we have learned to grow up in this disaster, so we are still together, working hard towards the direction of marriage, and not planning to separate again.

.........

This night, I returned home and just rested for a while. The light of dawn spread all over my room. I sat on the bed and pulled the half-closed curtains completely open. The sun appeared in my sight. It was so round, as if it predicted a perfection, and the snow on the ground also relieved the charm. It melted quickly and turned into flowing water to nourish the dry city for a long time... Everything became so soft. I remembered Le Yao's upcoming wedding in the softness, so her appearance in the wedding dress gradually became clearer...

I picked up my cell phone from the bedside. My emotions didn't need to be brewing. I naturally called Le Yao. It was time to remind her to get up...
