Chapter 23: People are more likely to die than others
The Zhang Yue and his wife also said goodbye to their parents and drove home.
"Why are you giving away that card today?" Yu Yan asked, Zhang Yue's wife was named Yu Yan.
"What's wrong? I'll give it to your parents too," Zhang Yue replied.
"It's not that. The prince only gave him five hundred, but you gave him two thousand. What do you want him to think?" Yu Yan kept calling Zhang Wen "Brother".
"Hey! I figured out that I gave it first, how did I know that he would give me a card today?" Zhang Yue exclaimed.
"Then you won't give it to your mother quietly. Xin'er saw it. How can you not tell your brother? Even if you don't blame you for this, then when you talk to your brother, you didn't feel like you were talking to your brother at all. You told me that your mother had been living in BJ for breast cancer treatment, and he took you for two years. I was really moved by your brotherhood at that time, but look at you, don't think you are in the official accent now. You are just in the department level, and you have been promoted a few years earlier than your peers. If you want to get promoted, be low-key and pragmatic."
"We were talking about business just now, and I didn't say anything?" Zhang Yue frowned.
"But look at your appearance and bringing the airs of being a director at home is uncomfortable. The prince is interrupted by you halfway through his words, so you can't listen patiently before you listen. You are too lazy to talk to you later without seeing the prince. Don't you think your brother has been alienated recently?" Yu Yan scolded.
"I think the greatest help I can give him is to complete his homework independently as soon as possible, seize the peak season of the civil engineering industry in recent years, make more money, pay off his debts as soon as possible, and stabilize his life.
When you have money, you will naturally win the respect of others. As for how much your parents give, you don’t need to compete with each other. You must compete for your strengths in this regard, either to be fat or to work hard to make money.
The world is fair. If you have the ability, the road under your feet will be wider; if you go the wrong path, you will naturally have to pay a price. I think he should focus on the main aspects rather than taking these little details.
But I have been a little busy lately. When I get free, I ask him to come out and play billiards."
After all, he was promoted to director and his words were reasonable and well-founded. Yu Yan also admitted that what Zhang Yue said was reasonable.
But I always feel that Zhang Yue has changed a little, becoming arrogant and arbitrary, and many things are not discussed with me like before.
Since Zhang Yue was promoted to director, working overtime and traveling on business has become the norm, and the communication between the two has become less and less. In addition, the couple has no children, so they always feel that there is some shortcomings...
"Then do you think the prince will make a comeback and start a career?" Yu Yan asked.
"Well! I don't think it's possible! My mother is the most accurate in our family. She has said a long time ago: People in the Zhang family are not suitable for business. Besides, he is almost forty years old. He can do his current job well and then give me the "cost worker" certificate. At that time, I will find a way to get him to the auditing unit, and have a double break if he has time. I think it is the most ideal." Zhang Yue has already figured out a way out for Zhang Wen according to his own plan.
"But my mother also said that Zhang Wen would make a big splash." Yu Yan asked again.
"Chi! That's my mother's wishful thinking, but caring will make you confused. Do you understand?" Zhang Yue was a little disdainful.
"But I also think the prince is a bit different. I always feel that the prince will do something..." Yu Yan said in a low voice.
"What can you make a big splash? You won't bet, you'll bet, I can't control it if you'll bet hundreds of thousands more!... This guy won't bet!" Zhang Yue became a little alert after hearing Yu Yan's words.
...
Zhang Wen stood in front of the window for more than an hour, and had not moved. He tried his best to sort out these somewhat chaotic thoughts and slowly calmed down his irritable mood.
After a long time, I sighed: The gap between me and others is too big. In fact, I have known it a long time ago, but I just don’t want to face it.
Treat everyone as a nine-story pyramid. Zhang Yue is on the upper three floors, most of my peers are on the middle three floors, and I am on the lower three floors? No. The ninth floor? No. From the perspective of the cost engineer, there is a foundation layer below the ninth floor, and I guess it is arranged to the foundation cushion layer.
You have to think about every step of the road ahead. In the end, you are no longer young. To put it nicely - you are in your prime; to put it bluntly - you are rushing towards old age.
Who should I blame for today’s embarrassment? I can’t blame Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue has done well enough, I can only blame myself! I can only rely on myself to change all this.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wen smiled faintly: I want to see this pyramid, which layer can I climb from the basic cushion layer to! Change - it started from the signing of a divorce agreement, but from today, it will be faster, faster and deeper!!!
...
The next afternoon, Zhang Wen went to the supermarket and bought a pair of sweatshirts, sports shorts, and a pair of sports shoes. Since you want to become stronger, start from the basics. The body is the capital of the revolution.
August 16th is another new week. Today, Zhang Wen got up for 1 hour early, went out for a while, did 6 push-ups and 2 pull-ups. It was so embarrassing that he could turn 10 times when he was a student. Let’s recover slowly.
"Hey! Zhang Wen, why do you seem to be very energetic today? You won't receive any extra money again, right?" Chang Xiaorong felt that Zhang Wen had a new atmosphere from the inside out.
"Volume! I started exercising early today, strengthening my body, and exhale the old and bringing new things. So I feel refreshed." Zhang Wen said proudly: "You also feel it? This effect is too fast!"
"Hehe! I didn't feel it was refreshed, it seemed that I was not as old as before!" Chang Xiaorong said with a smile.
"Tell you, I remember that I was 11.5 meters, 100 meters, 2.7 meters, and the third place in the half marathon. The six-pack abdomen was tightened like two rows of small bread..." Zhang Wen said with gesture.
"Then are there a few small pieces of bread left now?" Chang Xiaorong asked with a ninja with a smile as she looked at Zhang Wen's face.
"Now?... Only one Indian flying cake is left, and it is still the kind that has just been released and is very soft..." Zhang Wen said a little embarrassedly.
"Hahahaha! I'm so laughing to death. If I get old, I'd better digest your Indian flying cake first!" Chang Xiaorong couldn't help laughing again.
"Hmph! If you can't hit me, in a few weeks, your spirit, energy, and spirit will fully return to your peak state. I will welcome the next round of money grabbing in the best condition."
Zhang Wen turned on the computer and started working. Although he didn't need to work overtime recently, the workload was quite large and he was basically busy until he got off work every day.
...
After several days of adaptation, the soreness and swelling of the whole body that had just begun to exercise gradually eliminated.
Now get up at 6 am, go to bed at 12 pm, take an hour nap. I am energetic all day.
People are energetic and even luck stand on their side. This week, betting 5 games a day, each game of 300 yuan. By the weekend, they won 17 games, lost 6 games, lost 1 game, won half 3 games, and lost half 3 games. A total profit of 2,943 yuan. Withdraw 2,500 yuan, plus the money around them, you can repay 5 credit cards next week, which is of course the minimum repayment amount.
