C1743 Input Is the Key
"You're right. Investing is the key."
"Oh right, I've heard about what happened at the Hsinghai. Wu De must be going crazy right now. He didn't do anything to you, right?" Zhang Xiaotian said in concern.
Zhang Xiaotian is very well-informed, and I know that Zhang Xiaotian is very concerned about the situation with the Hsinghai.
It had to do with his experience.
"Wu De is going crazy, but he hasn't gone completely crazy. To me, at the moment, he will not do anything." "No," I said.
Zhang Xiaotian's eyes showed some worry: "My intuition is that the showdown between Wu De and Liu Tie is about to come. A bloody battle is inevitable. I hope Hai Zhu's side won't be implicated."
"Xiaotian, I will do my best to protect everyone around me, including Lili, and you." "I don't know," I said.
"Actually, I really want to help you with something, but I don't know how to start from where." Zhang Xiaotian said.
I said, "You just do your job. You don't have to meddle in my business, and you won't be able to get involved. As for Ningzhou, just support Hai Zhu and work together with Lin Yaru to manage Hai Zhu's company, and I'll be relieved. "
Zhang Xiaotian nodded, "Over at the hotel, I still have a lot of confidence in myself. Lin Yaru is a very experienced tourism manager. She is much more supportive of Hai Zhu than I am."
I knew that Lin Yaru was currently busy on both sides. She needed to be Hai Zhu's deputy in the light, and she also needed to secretly manage the Triangle Trading Company, as well as the Special Forces squadron.
These were things that Zhang Xiaotian and Hai Zhu obviously didn't know.
Due to Zhang Xiaotian's safety considerations, I didn't want him to know Lin Yaru's other identity.
Although I thought about it this way, I still decided to say a few words to Zhang Xiaotian.
"Xiaotian, remember this: if something urgent and uncontrollable happens on the side of the Ningzhou, if you and I are unable to contact each other, you can go directly to Lin Yaru." I told Zhang Xiaotian.
"Oh." Zhang Xiaotian looked at me and nodded. There were some doubts in his eyes.
"Don't ask why, just remember my words. If there's an emergency, you can contact Lin Yaru directly." I repeated it.
Zhang Xiaotian seemed to understand something, but at the same time, he seemed to be confused. He nodded again: "Ok, I will remember."
"Also, if there's anything that Lin Yaru wants to do that requires your help, just do it. However, don't let Hai Zhu know about it." I added, "Also, don't ask anyone who appears at Lin Yaru's side, be it someone you know or someone you don't know."
Zhang Xiaotian said, "Okay, I'll remember that. No problem. "I'm not a person who likes to inquire, so I won't ask too much. I will do as you say."
I smiled. "Xiaotian, you've matured a lot."
Zhang Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "I paid quite a price for my maturity. I almost lost my life."
A lot of the growth in life comes with a price, but some costs are small, some big.
At lunch time, Haifeng came.
When we met, Haifeng punched me in the chest and said, "Oh my god, brother-in-law, you're still alive."
"You bastard, first uncle, you actually didn't tell me when you came back." I still have some grievances.
"Alright, stop nagging. I was very busy when I got back, so I didn't have the time to contact you. I was just about to call you after I finished with my work today when you coincidentally came back." "Of course, I also expect you to come back. It's the weekend, so naturally, you have to come back to visit your family." Haifeng said.
Hearing Haifeng's words, I suddenly felt uneasy and smiled.
Then we went to eat at Haifeng's mother's house.
"Dad, Mom, my brother-in-law is back." Haifeng shouted the moment he entered the door.
Haifeng's parents were very happy to see me.
"Come, let's eat together." Father Haifeng greeted us.
"Why isn't Zhu back yet?" My mother-in-law asked Haifeng, but looked at me.
"Mom, Zhu is on a business trip in Zhong Hai. She'll be back before dinner in the afternoon." I said quickly.
"Oh, this Zhu, she runs around all day. How can a girl do this? How could it be appropriate for a girl to maintain this business? A man should be the host. "Hai." His mother-in-law sighed.
I understood what my mother-in-law was saying, so I didn't say anything and just ate with my head down.
"Ke, let me ask you something." my mother-in-law asked me.
"What is it?" "Mom." I looked up at my mother-in-law.
"What exactly are you and Zhu planning to do with children?" his mother-in-law asked directly.
"This... It's hard to say. Zhu and I are both very busy right now. This … "Let's wait a little longer." I stammered.
His mother-in-law looked a little unhappy. "You're both young now, how can you be so careless? Your father and I are still well, and we can even bring you kids after giving birth. Why are you always dragging this on? How long will this drag on until the next day?"
My expression was a little awkward. Haifeng took over at this moment: "Mom, don't worry. This is a child. It's a simple matter. It will be quick if you say it."
Then, his mother-in-law pointed her spearhead at Haifeng and said, "You should talk about yourself. About you and Yun, when are you going to hold the wedding ceremony? When are you going to let me and your father carry your grandson?"
Haifeng burst into laughter: "Mom, look, look, you worry so much all day, are you tired? Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, let's eat, let's eat …"
My mother-in-law continued to nag, while my father-in-law laughed and continued to pick up dishes for Haifeng and me.
Haifeng didn't seem to want to talk about the clouds in front of me, so I felt it.
But I wanted to know how the clouds were doing.
After dinner, Haifeng and I went into his room.
"Haifeng, I want to know how the clouds are doing." "No," I said.
"I knew you'd ask that." Haifeng said.
"Since you know, tell me."
Haifeng took a deep breath. "Cloud can't seem to adapt to the living environment in a foreign country. She still wants to stay at home. She always looked depressed and tongue-tied, and sometimes I didn't have time to be with her when I was busy. It seems that my original plan was too one-sided. Initially, I wanted to bring the clouds away from this circle and change the environment to make her better. However, things went contrary to my wishes. "
My heart sank. "Did she go out to do something?"
"She went out to find something to do, but her language, lifestyle, and other factors restricted her. She could not adapt to life there. She stopped doing that and stayed at home. Every day she just read a book or watched TV in the country. I felt that she really missed home, missed her Horqin Grasslands, and missed her Hsinghai friends. This time, when I returned home, I wanted to bring her back with me, but strangely, she didn't want to. " Haifeng sighed.
"Do you know why she didn't want to come back?" "No," I said.
Haifeng shook his head.
"I know."
"You know? "Why?"
"Because she knows she has to go back after this trip." I said simply.
Haifeng frowned: "I understand what you mean, maybe it's really because of this. Having to come back for a short time and to sink back into that depression is also a form of torture for her. "
"You're going to settle there with the clouds?" "No," I said.
Haifeng looked at me with a puzzled expression. "I don't know." I had planned to do so, but now I'm not sure. I don't know what to do next. I just want to make her happy, but she's not happy right now. "Bullshit, tell me, what should I do?"
"I don't know. It's up to you." "No," I said.
"Right now, I am stationed in Australia, so it is impossible for me to return in a short period of time. There is also no way for me to mobilize. The Australian market is just starting to open. "Unless …" Haifeng stopped talking.
"Unless what?" I looked at Haifeng.
"Unless …" Haifeng's gaze was a little distant, and he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Say it, shit." "No," I said.
"Nope, we'll talk about it later." Haifeng said.
It seemed that Haifeng wanted to make some decision, but it was difficult for him.
I lit a cigarette and smoked in silence.
After a while, Haifeng said, "Time will tell us, simple liking, the longest term; ordinary company, the most peaceful; those who know you, the warmest."
I stared blankly at Haifeng: "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I'm just expressing my feelings." "Actually, I feel like it's all fate," Haifeng said.
I looked at Haifeng.
Haifeng said quietly: "The lost scenery, the lost people, the yearning for not being able to wait, all live at the end of fate. Why be so stubborn? What should come comes naturally, and what will leave will not stay. To let go of one's will is the best life. "
"You're playing Deep, aren't you?" "No," I said.
"I want to play Deep World, but unfortunately, I can't. I don't have that kind of ability." Haifeng looked at me.
Looking at Haifeng's confused face, thinking about the clouds that are far away from us, my heart suddenly hurts.
However, I know that I can't change these things right now. The clouds are together with Haifeng right now, and the future of the clouds depends on Haifeng, not me. I can't decide what the clouds and Haifeng are, I can only watch.
I know Haifeng is truly good to the cloud, and I also know that the cloud wants to find a tacit understanding and harmony with Haifeng, and it really wants to start a new life with Haifeng. However, the heart is not human, clouds still did not find their own happiness and joy, in a completely unfamiliar environment, she never found herself, did not find their own joy.
Good clouds, lonely clouds, heavy clouds.
She was Prairie's daughter, her heart, her body, belonged to Horqin.
Can Haifeng accept this? Would Haifeng be willing to pay a huge price for the clouds?
I was stunned as I looked at Haifeng, who was deep in thought with his brows locked together. For a moment, I was speechless, and my heart was in a mess.
A voice in his heart was saying: There are some things you don't understand until you gradually wake up; there are some things you don't know how heavy they are until you really put them down.
Waking up and putting it down, what a simple word. However, to truly comprehend it, how difficult would it be?
After a while, Haifeng said to me: "Hey, did you understand what my mother-in-law said at dinner?"
"What do you mean?" "No," I said.
"It's you and Zhu. When do you want children? When will I be an uncle? " Haifeng said.
"This …" I hesitated. "There's no rush. Zhu isn't in a rush to ask for it. After all, she's very busy right now and the company can't leave her."
"To make excuses, are you trying to find excuses for yourself? Whether Zhu wants it or not is one thing, and whether you want it or not is another. What did you plan to do when you said that you and Zhu are separated? Are you still not planning to return to the Ningzhou? Are the two of you going to stay apart like this forever? " Haifeng looked at me sharply.
"I... At present, it is impossible for me to return to the Ningzhou. " I avoided Haifeng's gaze.
"Is that bullshit group really worth your long term stay? Do you like being an official that much? That Hsinghai, just what exactly is it that makes you linger around? " Haifeng's tone turned serious, "Bro, I'm telling you, listen carefully. Your roots lie in the Ningzhou, and your parents and family members are all in the Ningzhou. This is where you'll always live.
