"Meet"
【Sometimes, meeting someone by chance changes our lives.
But you said that in the vast sea of ​​people, our meeting was an inevitable arrangement.
Thinking of that old photo, I inexplicably began to believe in that mysterious destiny...]
"It's actually a ghostwriter..."
Looking at the signature on the new book, Meng Lang said he was not surprised that it was a fake.
I have been writing my life plan for so long, but I have no plan to "ghostwrite" it...
Could it be that we encountered another "unplanned" incident that failed halfway?
Meng Lang felt a little uneasy and could only continue to look down.
【2018 is a turning point in the fate of Xiaoyu and me.
It was also the year when the world started to get a little weird.
Very self-disciplined AI, L4 level autonomous driving, decentralized identity (DID) brought by Web3.0 technology, and a more efficient social resource management system and knowledge sharing system...
Transportation, office, entertainment, management, education, law... each of Baiyeji's products has quietly affected every corner of the world at all levels.
At that time, not many people realized the profound changes they would bring to society.
Until they change the world little by little...
I don’t know when, even Evergreen Biotech is making a splash in the fields of biochips, AI treatments, brain-computer interfaces, and mechanical prosthetics.
The rapid rise of Gaoyuan Group shocked and surprised me.
Because I know that all of this is inseparable from you and the Union of All Things behind you...
This makes me feel that you are both familiar and strange at the same time.
The distance is obviously very close, but sometimes it feels very far away.
And you just pointed at the strange composite photos on the photo wall with a helpless smile.
He said that he cherishes the romantic universe, but also cherishes the daily life of the world...
…
On the day after the "First House of Discipline Academy" passed the judicial examination that year, we embarked on the journey to the capital.
I don't know why you are so persistent about this matter. I should have hoped that you would quit after meeting that person.
But I am vaguely afraid that things will develop like this...
However, as soon as we arrived in Beijing, a military vehicle with a Beijing A license plate suddenly stopped us. An old man who called himself Hu Weiguo very politely wanted to treat us to dinner.
Your expression changes from surprise, to confusion, to helplessness in the end.
As a native of Beijing, that night was the first time in my life that I went to eat at the famous Jingcheng Hotel...
At the dinner table, Mr. Hu said some strange things.
What about "resistance from all parties", "the greatest support", "development potential", "sincere cooperation", "vigorous promotion"... and so on.
At first, you resisted, but later, as if you had figured something out, you looked relieved.
I just remember that at the end of the dinner, you gave the other party a USB flash drive...
…
After this little episode, we followed the scheduled itinerary and arrived at that person's residence.
And he still smelled of alcohol...
"Uncle, I heard that you are good at wine. Here are two bottles of Maotai I brought you."
"Hiccup! The person Haitang brought actually brought me wine. She doesn't like seeing me drink the most. You are a good boy!"
"That's because she doesn't understand her uncle's difficulties, but I understand them all."
"Uh...understand what?"
"I understand why you like wine, and the books in your study..."
"Book?"
"Yes, like you, uncle, I believe that reading is a barrier against suffering, and it is also a good medicine to cure everything!
In my heart, I have long regarded you as a senior and a guide."
"Are you sure you're not mocking me?"
"How could it be? I have nothing but admiration for "comrades" who like to read, and I am even more grateful to uncle for your willingness to entrust Sister Haitang to me..."
"Who is a 'fellow nerd' like you, a nerd?
Also, when did I say that I was willing to entrust Begonia to you?
Just these two bottles of wine, you want to take a money tree from me? Don't think I don't know, this girl is doing quite well now.
Judging from the way you read with your mouth open and closed, you don't look like a rich man. Let me tell you, for my daughter's condition, the bride price is one million!
Not a penny less!”
"..."
"What? You don't have any money? Why do you come to see your parents if you don't have money?
You sent me away with just two bottles of wine without bringing anything? I’m telling you there’s no way!”
"...Uncle, I understand your difficulties. You must not want to drag down Haitang and the others.
But haven’t I already arrived today?
We are all facing the same difficulties, but as long as we work together, I believe we can find a solution!"
"Do you still know that you will drag down Haitang and the others?
You are having the same difficulties as me, how can you still ask for marriage on your face?
Haitang, where did you find such a poor boy? With your conditions, why can't you find him?
You must not wrong yourself!
Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Xiaoyu and the debt on me, right?
I just hope that you two can marry into a good family and make a comeback! Hiccup~"
"..."
"Sorry uncle, it seems I misunderstood and disturbed..."
Apart from some strange conversations, this meeting was obviously not very pleasant.
It feels to me like the two of them are not on the same channel at all?
And his face, as expected, revealed a look of disappointment that was difficult to conceal.
I don’t know why, but I feel some inexplicable pain in my heart...
"Ha! You've seen this guy before, and now you regret it, right?
Marriage is not a matter between two people, but a matter between two families, and I was born without this condition."
You looked at me and didn't say anything, just asked.
"How much does he still owe?"
"The interest is compounded, more than 10 million. The father's debt must be paid by the son. Anyway, I have no hope of repaying it in this life. I just don't drag Xiaoyu down."
"Don't worry, the bride price will satisfy him!"
"..."
"Don't be stunned, let's go! Go to the next stop!"
"What...what's the next stop?" I was still a little dazed.
"Of course I'm going to see your mother! You can't just meet your parents half way, right?"
"You... still want to see my mother?"
To be continued...
