25 belly black

Xiao Chen stood alone by the window of the president's office and looked at the blue sky through the spotless glass, but there was darkness in his heart. Xiao Chen knew that he might never be able to return to the simple years before, and he could never return to the strange things in another village at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

Living is equivalent to dying. Everything is just for the hatred in the heart. Hatred makes Xiao Chen change completely.

What is happiness? There is no happiness in the world! There is only one situation compared with another, that's all. Only those who have experienced extreme misfortune can feel extreme happiness. Only those who have longed for death can understand how beautiful life is in the world. But all this has nothing to do with me!

Looking at the empty sky, Xiao Chen suddenly had a hysterical despair. The source of despair was the darkness in his heart. The darkness was like a pool of boundless stagnant water. His heart was tightly covered and he could no longer escape! There is endless sticky blood in the dark stagnated water without the greatest hope I longed for 18 years ago.

After eight years of hope and ten years of despair, the man has completely given up. This world is so unfair that there is no hope in the first place. Why should I yearn for it?

Slowly pushed open the window, and a gust of evening wind came, blowing the cigarette butts clearly, blowing his long hair in disorder, and blowing ups and downs of the backwater in his heart.

Closing his eyes, he exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, turned around, pressed the cigarette butt, and walked out of the president's office with a cheap coat. He seemed to be looking forward to a storm in his heart, making this dirty world purer and cute.

................................................

When he met Duan Jinchen, the president of the Agricultural Bank of China, in the box of Jinling Hotel, the bald man in his fifties was squatting in a corner tremblingly. His face was full of tension and alertness. A pair of expensive and decent suits had become messy, and his eyes were no longer as clear as they were twenty years ago. Looking at the man who slowly walked towards him, Duan Jinchen summoned up the courage to stand up and looked at Xiao Chen and said loudly, "Who the hell are you?" Do you know that it is illegal to do so?

Just when he said this, the man's tone was too floating and too guilty, and the timidity in his heart would have already smashed his tenacity on the surface, like flying sand all over the sky.

"Do you think I will let you go because of your words?" Xiao Chen took a chair and looked at Duan Jinchen sitting down slowly, with a playful smile on his face.

"Let me go. If you have anything to say, I'll send someone to prepare it immediately if you want money." Duan Jinchen said in a panic. The more he looked at the man in front of him, the more he felt the fear and uneasiness in his heart.

"I let you go? Mr. Duan, I hope you understand one thing. I invited you here today, don't you think so?

"Yes, yes." How can a dull man have the courage to refuse? So many years of comfortable life has already flattened the last heart of a man's heart, and arrogance has been sent in. What's left is only eight points of hypocrisy and two points of cowardice. At this moment, two points of cowardice dominates a man's heart, making a man not even a lamb. The pathetic creature is just a human skin, and that's all.

Xiao Chen got up and adjusted the faint light in the room. In an instant, Duan Jinchen felt that he had gone from darkness to light. Looking at the man sitting in the chair again, there was an uncontrollable fear in his heart. Although he was in his fifties, he did not want to die, so his face What appears is servile and submissive.

A red Nanjing was thrown to the sad man on the ground. A sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth. A cruel and bloodthirsty sneer made Duan Jinchen's fear of death rise to the extreme. He grabbed the smoke in front of him and took out the lighter but couldn't hit it. Maybe his fingers trembled too much, or maybe it was the end of this lighter. It's time to scrap it.

He threw Fan Xiaohui's high-end lighter with the word zippo on the ground and made a bang, which made Duan Jinchen's nerve tremble. He carefully touched the lighter, but like his own zippo lighter, it couldn't be lit. Xiao Chen walked to Duan Jinchen with a smile, easily took the lighter in the man's hand, gently pressed it, and a pinch of flame suddenly rose.

"I don't mind having one more enemy or one more friend. Everything depends on how you choose."

Slowly chewing the meaning of Xiao Chen's words, until after a cigarette was finished, Duan Jinchen seemed to make a decision. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I don't like to beat around the bush, so I like to say anything. Presumably, President Duan also understands that Shengtang Group can't take out 800 million yuan now, so I hope that Shengtang Group's debt in your bank can be delayed for some time. When Shengtang Group's situation improves, I will bring profits. Yiyi will be returned to your bank.

Duan Jinchen was silent, and the tension in his heart seemed to have decreased a lot. At least the man in front of him would not touch him again.

At this time, the door of the box was opened. Chen stepped forward and looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, the police are coming."

"The action is very fast." The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth bent into an arc, but there was the most obvious sarcasm in the arc. Looking at the man who was paralyzed on the ground but had been shining in his eyes, he said, "Stand up after thinking about it, I respect the president for two cups."

Looking at the self-confidence in Xiao Chen's eyebrows, Duan Jinchen suddenly understood a truth. What can the police do when they come? If he wants, he can catch himself again. At that time, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as a threat.

When Li Jun and several policemen followed Director Qiu Zhifei to the box, they found that the situation in the box was completely different from the hijacking incident reported by the bank staff. Xiao Chenzheng and President Duan Jinchen were talking and laughing, drinking and eating vegetables, looking very intimate.

After thinking for a moment, Qiu Zhifei looked at Duan Jinchen and asked with a smile, "Mr. Duan, do you also know Xiao Chen?"

"We just met today. We are talking about a business. I don't know why Director Qiu came down with so many people? Is it possible that Xiao Chen did something illegal? If that's the case, I can't talk about my business anymore. Duan Jinchen talked with a smile, which is very different from the cowardly man who squatted in the corner of the wall a moment ago, because what he faced at the previous moment may only be a threat, and what he has to face at this moment is the real life and death. How can a man who has been mixed in black and white for so long not understand this truth?

" Director Qiu, I haven't seen you for a long time. If you are interested, you can sit down and have a drink. The food here is not bad." Xiao Chen greeted with a smile.

Qiu Zhifei smiled and was about to return to the police station, but he didn't expect that Li Jun behind him suddenly came out and scolded at Xiao Chen at the same time: "Arrogant, arrogant."

There was no dodge, no defense. Li Jun was hit hard on his chest, which was very heavy. Maybe it was a little more violent than when he was beaten by this little policeman in the interrogation room of Nanjing Public Security Bureau a few months ago. The chair fell down, his body fell down, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Xiao Chen really rolled on the ground a few times and touched The man who touched the corners of his mouth got up and looked at Li Jun with an angry face. Then he turned his eyes to Qiu Zhifei and smiled, " Director Qiu, this boy's hands and feet are very neat. If he cultivates him well, he must be a great talent in the police in the future."

Li Jun realized his excessesight until he took action, but he didn't expect that the man who was beaten not only said such words instead of accusing him, and suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry about what happened just now. I will be strict with discipline when I go back." Qiu Zhifei said with apologetic apology. He was very sincere. Qiu Zhifei felt that this man was very pleasing to the eye since he first saw Xiao Chen. If he was a policeman, he would have cultivated him well, but this man's way was destined to be different from that of himself and the people behind him.

"I haven't been kicked like this for a long time." Xiao Chen said with a smile.

After Qiu Zhifei led a group of policemen back the same way, Duan Jinchen felt that the man in front of him was really a little different and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what your name is?"

"Xiao Chen."

"Is it the adopted son that An Mengtang received before his death?"

"Yes."

Duan Jinchen suddenly became clear. After drinking a glass of wine, he looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly, "An Mengtang also took care of me before. I shouldn't have been in such a hurry to urge the payment, but now the bank's affairs are not all up to me alone, but since you are Mr. An's adopted son, I want to say anything about this matter. Try your best to deal with the bank."

Xiao Chen smiled. After the crisis, the man really showed a fox character. He shook his head slightly, took out a titanium card from his pocket, put it in front of Duan Jinchen, and said, "There are 5 million in it. The account is not in China. Don't worry."

After saying no to it, Duan Jinchen put the titanium card in his arms with a smile. Regardless of Xiao Chen's age, he began to be a brother with Xiao Chen at the wine table.

The night is getting deeper and deeper and more terrible.

It was eleven o'clock at night when I returned to the Sunshine Bath, but I didn't expect that when I just returned to the room, there was a woman in white, with a pure smile on her face. She walked to Xiao Chen with a book in her hands in her hands, but there was a strong smell of wine in her nose, and she frowned in disgust. After the head, the woman looked at Xiao Chen, who fell on **, and said dissatisfiedly, "Xiao Chen, have you been drinking?"

"Drink."

"Grandpa said that drinking hurts his body."

"I'm in good health."

"But there will be a lot of problems when you get old."

"It's still early in the future."

"But people should think about the future when they are alive. If you drink your body badly now, it will be very troublesome in the future."

"I'm good at drinking."

"But no matter how good a person is drunk, there are times when he is drunk. My grandfather is also very good at drinking when he is alive, but the reason why he died is because of drinking. If you don't take good care of your health now, maybe he will be like my grandfather in the future."

Drinking, grandpa, two words repeatedly appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. The man lying in ** gently closed his eyes. What appeared in his mind was an old man sitting by the peach blossom stream with a gourd in his arms and sitting under the old locust tree drinking and lamenting. From time to time, he would cough violently for a while, but he would still drink the gourd with blurred eyes. Wine in the reed.

Zhen'er seemed to be dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's silence. She sat beside Xiao Chen and asked, "Hey, Xiao Chen, why don't you talk?"

"What did you say?" Xiao Chen and Wei Ran said with a smile.

"Say that you won't drink in the future."

"Why don't you drink it?"

"It hurts my body because of drinking."

"I said that I have always been good at drinking."

The woman was silent and seemed to understand that this was a topic that would only argue endlessly. She suddenly opened the book, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, I'm so bored today, but I borrowed a book from a sister called The Count of Monte Cristo. The writer named Alexandre Dumas wrote it very well. Can't I read you a paragraph for you?"

Silence, there seems to be a world in my mind again. In this world, there is only endless darkness and a piece of stagnable water, motionless stagnance.

"I'll read it if you don't talk."

Zhir opened the book and turned it to the place where she had made a mark, and said very devotedly:

"At this time, there is a trumpet

His chest seems to be torn

Full of hot tears gushing out

Forming two rapids

His forehead is on the ground

A long prayer

Think about all his life

Ask yourself

In such a young life

What crime did he commit

You will be punished so cruelly

The day goes by like this

He only ate a few mouthfuls of bread

Drink a few sips of water

He sometimes sits down and thinks

Sometimes get up and turn around in prison

It's like a beast in an iron cage

It was very disappointing and there was no reaction. Gardenia seemed to feel bored. She put down the book, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "This book is about a person's revenge. His life is miserable."

"Since you have chosen your own path, it doesn't matter if it's miserable or sad."

It seemed that what Xiao Chen said was a little difficult, so he looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "But I don't I think people should be happy to live?" Why do you want to take those paths full of misery and sadness?

"Some things can't be decided by yourself."

"However, I just feel that everything is decided by ourselves."

Xiao Chen got up and leaned against **, looked at the innocent gardener, and said with a slow smile, "You don't understand many things, so don't talk about it anymore. Do what you should do. Don't stay here."

"But I just want to chat with you. I've been here all day and I've been bored to death. I heard from the sister of the bath that the West Lake is very beautiful. Why don't you take me to the West Lake tomorrow?"

West Lake, can you go by yourself? He shook his head and smiled, touched the long soft hair of Gardenia, and said, "Go to bed. It's not early."

Zi'er left the room unhappily, but forgot "The Count of Monte Cristo" in Xiao Chen's **.

The man who smoked a cigarette was about to go to bed when he saw the book at the head of the bed. He picked it up and read it casually. He found that Gardenia had folded a lot of marks, opened a place and read it casually.

"This burden is almost as heavy as a world

I carry it

I thought I could bear it all the way to the end

And I bear it according to my wish

Not by force

It is according to my will

Not by ability

But I'm just halfway there

I have to put it down again

Fourteen years of despair and ten years of hope

I have become the person who dominates my fate

Now I have to listen to fate again"

Gently put down the book. This paragraph made Xiao Chen think a lot, especially the sentence "I had to put it down just halfway". Thinking of Tang Wu and asked Lei Zi to tell him a sentence, he was silent in his heart. Did he just start to build a capital enough to avenge and give up halfway? Do you control your fate or do you control your own? Despair, hope.

I don't want to think anymore. Thinking makes Xiao Chen feel headache and confused.

The next evening, Xiao Chen, who had nothing to do in the office, received a phone call from Duan Jinchen, telling Xiao Chen that the time for the loan had been suppressed. Money can make ghosts grind. This sentence is indeed an unbreakable ancient and modern truth. My threats and inducements have indeed achieved the desired results, but I always feel a little confused. What I am pursuing is money and power?

When he was about to get off work, Duan Xiaohui walked into Xiao Chen's office with a smile on his face and said, "President Xiao, several managers of the company and some businessmen from Nanjing want to invite you to visit Zhongshan Golf Villa in the evening. The first is to take over the situation for your president, and the second is to make friends with you. I heard that Wei Tiande is still professional. The door found several new Yangzhou thin horses to accompany him in 1912. This guy has always been very stingy in the circle. I guess he has spent a lot of time today. The price of this Yangzhou thin horse is not low.

"Yangzhou thin horse?" Xiao Chen smiled. The gold leaders of this group of companies really understood the enjoyment. How did he know what Yangzhou thin horse was more than half a year ago? What is heaven and earth?

Looking at Xiao Chen's smile, Fan Xiaohui smiled and said, "President Xiao, I still think it's better to play. On the one hand, it can get closer to them and facilitate you to control the whole group in the future. On the other hand, you can also let yourself relax and make a few contacts. When doing business, the most important thing is always people. Vein, even if you have money, it won't happen without connections.

"Well, let's go and have a look. By the way, don't call me president in the future. I, a bullshit, a country bumpkin, can't afford such a name." After thinking about it, Xiao Chen agreed to Fan Xiaohui's proposal.

"Well, I will call you Brother Xiao in the future and say something from the bottom of my heart. When I first saw you, I felt that you must be able to talk to me. For nothing else, I handed me the red Nanjing for you." Fan Xiaohui said with a smile.

After getting out of Shengtang Building and sitting on Fan Xiaohui's Audi A6, Xiao Chen habitually took out a red Nanjing, but Fan Xiaohui took out two bags of soft bags from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Xiao, take this, it's more appropriate."

He took the two bags of soft, took a look at Fan Xiaohui, who had started the car, and was silent in his heart. Fan Xiaohui is right. It is indeed no longer suitable for him to draw red Nanjing. At least it is not suitable in the eyes of outsiders. Even if he still loves red Nanjing, the secular world still needs to be attached.
