[In 2018, rifts began to appear between the two major shareholders within the Xu Group, and they were tired of internal fighting.
The emergence of "Fuyun Venture Capital" disrupted Xu Jinsong's plan to make money from the Internet financial market.
In 2022, due to the cooling market and shortage of funds, Xu Group encountered serious operating problems like many real estate companies that year. In the end, it had to cut off its business to survive, and its assets shrank significantly.
Gao Yuan took the opportunity to acquire high-quality enterprises under the name of Xu Group at a low price, which marked the mutual transformation of the strength of both parties.
In 2023, Xu Jinsong, who was frustrated in life, harbored hatred for Gao Yuan, and attempted murder while drunk. He was caught on the spot by the police and imprisoned.
The Xu Group was eventually taken over by Xu Jinfeng and gradually declined...
Alas! I have traversed the rivers and lakes for more than four years, killed all the enemies, defeated all the heroes, and the world is even more defenseless...]
Although the writing of this brother in "The Story of the Stone" is a bit eccentric.
However, Xu Jinsong ended up like this five years later because he was definitely behind the scenes.
He lives in seclusion in the city and has zero as his friend.
Brother is in the world, but there is no legend about him in the world...
Looking at the surging river in front of him and the setting sun gradually setting at the end of the valley, Meng Lang felt quite heroic.
With his current strength, there is no need to give up certain things to practice the "Sunflower Book" for reasons such as revenge!
However, in response to "I can avenge myself even while standing," Lin Haitang directly gave Meng Lang a hygiene ball.
“It’s obviously about practicing or not practicing, why are you talking about ‘standing and taking revenge’ with me.
You are clearly talking about whether to choose Xue Baochai or Lin Daiyu, and you are asking me to say, "Don't want tragedy." Do you always like to change concepts, or do you have difficulty choosing?"
"Well……"
Meng Lang, who was so "arrogant and arrogant", lost all his momentum.
If you insult someone's intelligence first, you can't blame them for insulting your character...
He said a little helplessly.
"In fact, the so-called difficulty in choosing is not just because when you gain something, you begin to lose it.
That’s why we have such a hard time making a choice, isn’t it?”
When you gain it, you begin to lose it...
Lin Haitang's face looked slightly unnatural.
Yes, he is not the only one troubled by choices?
On one side is his best friend, on the other side is...
I have obviously made up my mind, but my determination is wavering day by day...
I obviously don't want to think about it, but I just let myself toss and turn and have no sleep all night.
"Lawyer Lin, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you. Although it may be a bit presumptuous," Meng Lang said suddenly.
"what is the problem?"
Lin Haitang was so lost in thought about his own matters that he didn't notice the strangeness in Meng Lang's tone.
"Has Lawyer Lin ever considered what his future partner will be like?"
"What?" Lin Haitang was stunned.
Although you already said it was very presumptuous, is it too presumptuous?
Seeing Lin Haitang looking at him with a strange expression, Meng Lang could only cough dryly.
"Ahem! I have a friend who recently met a girl, you know, so I just want to consult for him."
Another friend?
Lin Haitang's expression became even weirder, "This question... I have never thought about it before."
"Ah?" Meng Lang didn't expect to hear such an answer.
"No way? At least there shouldn't be a general rule of thumb regarding height, fatness or thinness, how to fall in love, how to get married...?"
He didn't care that it was too abrupt to say so, so he hurriedly asked again.
That's right, he decided to show off!
The "chain of grief" that "predecessors had no time to grieve for themselves, and later generations grieve for themselves" troubled him for a long time.
Today is such a good opportunity to be alone together... I must figure it out!
Maybe the unsolved mystery of Lin Haitang's "author" is hidden in it?
People who have riddled "would rather die than give in" and are unwilling to reveal a word, so today I will be the solver of the riddle myself!
Faced with Meng Lang's uncharacteristic frankness, Lin Haitang seemed to have noticed something.
But she didn't look at him, she lowered her head slightly and stared at the pink marshmallow in her hand...
"Because... I am a non-marriage person and have never thought about finding a partner."
"Wha...what?"
Meng Lang suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes widened and he was completely confused.
"Non-marriageists..."
He speculated on many possibilities as to why Lin Haitang always kept aloof from him. When the relationship between the two was a little ambiguous, he would run away like a frightened little rabbit. As soon as he saw a small flame, Lin Haitang would directly extinguish it.
He thought that maybe it was reserve, or maybe it was the arrogance and shyness unique to women.
But he never thought that it would be because of this reason...
No wonder!
No wonder my feelings always go wavy!
It turned out that as soon as her favorability increased, Lin Haitang's "non-marriageist" persona came out to cause trouble, making her choose to actively stay away from him, and even acted like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away.
The purpose... is just to avoid the final outcome of marriage?
This is like if someone is a DINK, but you let someone have a child... How can someone not be rebellious?
She is not shy, she is escaping!
With such thoughts at work, no wonder she showed no mercy even to her colleagues, let alone strangers...
This is because I don’t want to give anyone a chance from the beginning!
Speaking of which, apart from myself, the other party seems to have never seen a single male friend...
Wait! Could it be that when I first met Lin Haitang, my initial favorable impression of Lin Haitang was "hostile", so as soon as I entered the door, I asked myself if I wanted to get a divorce or make a will, which would not save my brother any face...
She's not targeting anyone, she's targeting everyone here?
If he hadn't saved Xiao Yu, the favorability gained from this mission would have been too much, making Lin Haitang embarrassed to continue treating everyone equally.
Otherwise, let alone letting Lin Haitang cook in person, I'm afraid they won't even let in through the door of the house...
What a surprise! After working on it for a long time, my official CP turned out to be "hell level" difficulty!
"Why?" Meng Lang didn't even notice that there was a hint of anger in his tone.
Lin Haitang glanced at Meng Lang.
Seeing that he looked a little angry, I didn't know why, but suddenly I felt happy.
"Isn't this normal? I have a not-so-good family and have witnessed two extremely failed marriages.
As you said, marriage is the grave of love.
I don't want to do feng shui for this tomb, nor do I want to think about what my other half will look like.
I don’t want to dig my own grave and make a fruitless confession.
I don’t want to die in love with anyone, and I have to worry about whether the grave will be moved or the tomb will be robbed..."
Speaking of this, Lin Haitang couldn't help but laugh.
She looked at Meng Lang, "Look, if I don't think about these things, I won't have so many worries, right?"
I'm looking at a ghost! I'm looking at it!
Who knew that talking nonsense could inexplicably make it more difficult for yourself...
Meng Lang felt miserable in his heart.
No wonder the other party would ignore her whenever there was some misunderstanding. Wasn't she waiting for an excuse to stay away from her?
With the character of "Non-marriageist", the favorability will be reduced when it rises, and doubled when the favorability falls...
But then I thought about it.
It is true that the difficulty is there, but it seems that "I" have no precedent for success?
Although there are only a handful of them...
I have accomplished such a difficult thing, should I be sad or proud?
Although I can't tell how I feel about Lin Haitang, but...
When he saw Lin Haitang leaving the capital, he felt an inexplicable sourness in his heart.
Is this what people often say, what you can’t get is the best? Only when you lose it do you know how valuable it is?
He couldn't tell clearly whether this feeling was his own or that of "Brother Stone"...
"What if you meet someone you like? You know, feelings are something you can't control." Meng Lang asked immediately.
"Probably... no." Lin Haitang subconsciously turned the marshmallows in his hand, but his tone was not so sure.
Meng Lang's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The fact is that when you are hesitant to do something, you actually already have a choice in your heart, but you just don’t have enough reasons to convince yourself.
"Then your non-marriage policy, can you fall in love?"
Lin Haitang: "..."
Sensing Meng Lang's increasingly intense aggression, Lin Haitang seemed a little unable to resist and asked.
"Stop talking about me, let's talk about you."
Meng Lang sighed helplessly.
"I am actually open-minded about whether I should get married or not. If you want to get married, get married. If you want to be single, stay single. Anyway, it seems that they will all regret it in the end..."
"Pfft!" Lin Haitang couldn't help but laugh at this statement.
The smiles and beauties under the setting sun were as beautiful as flowers, and Meng Lang was stunned for a moment.
"Ahem!" Lin Haitang quickly put away his smile as he felt some fiery glances around him.
"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you, what are your plans for the future, for example, what is your ideal life like?
Isn’t it really some kind of ‘death resistance’ and immortality?”
"I actually don't care much about whether I can live forever. I can't live fully and fully in just a few hundred years, let alone a thousand years or even more.
As for the ideal life..."
Meng Lang thought of all the recent events, the changes in his mentality, and the uncertain future...
"You should not think about the past, not be afraid of the future, and not be trapped in your heart..."
Meng Lang glanced at Lin Haitang and said, "Also, don't let your emotions get involved..."
Lin Haitang: "..."
These words were like a switch. Meng Lang felt that a certain emotion in his heart was aroused, and a desperate impulse surged into his heart.
"Yesterday is a piece of history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift from God. Don't you think we should live in the present, and let tomorrow's people think about it?"
As he said that, he didn't know where the courage came from, and he couldn't help but stretch his hand towards Lin Haitang's porcelain-like slender jade hand...
Lin Haitang lowered his head and moved his little finger, but did not dodge. It seemed that all his energy was focused on the marshmallow in front of him, and he was completely unaware of the intention of getting closer...
"Sister! Do you see what I caught?"
As soon as their fingers touched each other, they separated like an electric shock.
"Eh? What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yu grabbed a small fish the size of a palm in her hand and looked at the two of them in confusion.
"It's okay, I was just shocked by the fish in your hand."
"Sister, why are you face so red?"
"Is there any? It's the setting sun, right? Well... it's getting late. Let's go up quickly to find Weiwei."
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll release the little fish!"
"Don't let go, give it to me."
"Ah? Uncle, what do you want Xiaoyu to do?"
"The hotel has a kitchen, so I fried it for midnight snack!" Meng Lang stared at the fish fiercely.
If you had not been caught earlier, you would have been caught later. But you were caught at this time. Did you do it on purpose?
The salted fish stared with dead eyes, opened and opened its mouth, and flicked its tail with an innocent expression.
Little did he know that his Yu Sheng would suffer a tragic fate because he was caught at the wrong time...
"Oh! That's okay, I want half of it!" Xiaoyu said happily.
He didn't notice the momentary enmity between one person and one fish.
Lin Haitang looked a little funny and couldn't help but give Meng Lang a rollicking look.
However, there seems to be something different between the two of them...
…
On the bungee jumping platform.
Fan Shigang had already rolled his eyes and was lying on the bench in the rest area, panting, looking like he had been spoiled.
Only Yan Weiwei stood on the edge of the platform again and again. After adjusting her condition, she jumped from high altitude again and again.
However, no matter how hard she concentrated, she never had the feeling of "time slowing down" that Meng Lang mentioned.
Seeing the time passing by, Yan Weiwei's mood became worse and worse.
However, the more impatient she was, the less able she was to concentrate. Eventually, Yan Weiwei was jumping down again and again in a mechanical manner, and her spirit became a little numb.
"Could it be that this last glimmer of hope...is just a mirror in the mirror?
Also... Even if what Meng Lang said is true, I can't even do something as simple as drawing a dragon with my left hand and a rainbow with my right hand. How could I be like Meng Lang and learn it overnight..."
I foolishly came here and danced for a whole day... I looked like a fool...
That guy...knowing that he can't do it, why should he give himself such hope...
Sure enough, I still really want to beat him up...
Looking at the originally bright sun, it was already fading.
Yan Weiwei only felt that her future, like the sun, was getting darker and darker, and she was powerless to save it...
Still...lost...
Her eyes were dull, and her spirit had become numb from jumping again and again.
I'm so tired. I don't have to think about anything. It would be nice to just jump down and be done with it.
He slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his body mechanically, and finally leaned forward slowly...
The next moment, the familiar feeling of weightlessness came.
At this time, she had forgotten the safety rope on her body and where she was. In the last ray of light, her vision slowly dimmed, and the whole world...
Slow down...
…
"Sister Weiwei!"
Sitting on the floor, Yan Weiwei, who seemed to be concentrating with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes...
Then... I saw three people slowly going up the mountain on the mountain road.
Lin Haitang held a marshmallow in his left hand, and Meng Lang held a plastic bag in his right hand, which contained a cheerful little fish. The two were talking and laughing, with a light rain jumping in the middle...
Hmm! What a happy and warm picture.
so……
I am a cheering duck, and you are a mandarin duck?
