Chapter 292 Come on Duck
[In 2018, cracks between the two major shareholders within the Xu Group began to appear, and they were tired of internal fighting.
The emergence of ‘welfare bags’ disrupted Xu Jinsong’s plan to make money from the Internet 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 tail 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! Traveling across the rivers and lakes for more than four years, killing all the enemies and defeating all the heroes, the world is even more helpless...]
Although the writing of this brother in "The Story of the Stone" is a bit unreliable.
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.
My brother is in the Jianghu, but there is no legend about him in the Jianghu...
Looking at the surging river in front of him, and the sunset gradually setting at the end of the valley, Meng Lang felt quite heroic.
With his current strength, there is no need to give up something 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 clear that you're talking about practicing or not practicing. Why are you talking about 'standing and taking revenge'?
You are talking about whether to choose Xue Baochai or Lin Daiyu. You are talking about 'don't want tragedy'. You always like to steal Change the concept, or do you still have difficulty choosing?"
"Uh..."
"The heroic Qianyun" Meng Lang lost his momentum.
You insult someone's IQ first, then you can't blame them for insulting your character...
He said a little helplessly.
“In fact, the so-called difficulty in choosing is not because when we get something, we begin to lose it.
That’s why it’s difficult for us to choose, isn’t it?”
< br>When you gain, it is the beginning of loss...
Lin Haitang's face looked slightly unnatural.
Yes, he is not the only one troubled by choices?
On one side is my best friend, and on the other side...
I have made up my mind, but my determination is wavering day by day...
I don't want to think about it, but I do. Let yourself toss and turn, sleepless all night.
"Lawyer Lin, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you. Although it may be possible, it is a bit presumptuous." Meng Lang said suddenly.
"What's the problem?"
Lin Haitang was so absorbed in thinking about his own matters that he didn't notice the strangeness in Meng Lang's tone.
"Lawyer Lin, have you ever considered what your future partner will be like?"
"What?" Lin Haitang was stunned.
Although you have said that it is very presumptuous, but 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. He recently met a girl, you know, so I just want to consult for him."
Have a friend again?
Lin Haitang's expression became even weirder, "This question... I have never thought about it before."
"Huh?" Meng Lang didn't expect to hear such an answer.
"No way? At least there shouldn't be a rough outline of height, fatness, thickness, how to fall in love, how to get married..."
He didn't care that it was too abrupt, so he hurriedly asked again.
Yes, he decided to show off!
The "chain of sorrow" that "predecessors have no time to mourn themselves, and later generations mourn" has troubled him for a long time.
Today is such a good opportunity to be alone...you must figure it out!
Maybe the unsolved mystery of Lin Haitang's "author" is hidden in it?
Riddle people have "preferred death to surrender" and are unwilling to reveal a word of the riddle, so today I will be the solver myself!
Faced with Meng Lang's uncharacteristic frankness, Lin Haitang seemed to have noticed something.
But she didn’t look at him, lowered her head slightly, staring at the pink marshmallow in her hand...
“Because...I am a non-marriage person, and I didn’t think about it. I want to find my other half.”
"Wha...what?"
Meng Lang suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning, his eyes widened and he was completely confused.
"Non-marriageists..."
He speculated on many possibilities as to why Lin Haitang was always aloof from him, and the relationship between the two was slightly ambiguous, just like a frightened little rabbit. He ran far away, and as soon as he saw a small flame, Lin Haitang snuffed it out.
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 turns 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?
It's like if someone is a DINK, but you let them have children...can they not be rebellious?
She is not shy, she is escaping!
With such thoughts at work, no wonder she shows no mercy even to her colleagues, let alone strangers...
This is the beginning. I don’t want to give anyone a chance!
Speaking of which, apart from myself, the other party seems to have never seen a single male friend...
etc! Could it be that when she first met Lin Haitang, her initial favorable impression of him was "hostile", so as soon as she entered the door, she asked herself whether she wanted to get a divorce or make a will, not to save face for her brother at all...
She It's not directed at anyone, she's directed at everyone here?
If he hadn’t saved Xiao Yu, the favorability points given by 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 meow! 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 felt a little happy suddenly for some reason.
“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 looks 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 afterwards I have to worry about whether the grave will be moved or whether the grave will be robbed..."
Speaking of this, Lin Haitang couldn't help but laugh. Come out.
She looked at Meng Lang, "Look, if I don't think about this, 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 him...
Meng Lang felt miserable in his heart.
No wonder the other party would ignore me as soon as 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 is not available is the best? Only when you lose it do you realize how precious it is?
He couldn't tell clearly whether this feeling was his own or that of "Brother Shitou"...
"What if, if you meet someone you like? What? You know, emotions are always 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 hesitate 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 principle, can you fall in love?"
Lin Haitang: "..."
Feeling Meng Lang's increasingly aggressive aggression, Lin Haitang Haitang seemed a little unable to resist and asked.
"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you."
Meng Lang sighed helplessly.
“I am actually open-minded about whether to get married or not. If you want to get married, get married, and 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 does your ideal life look like?
Could it really be some kind of ‘death resistance’? ', Immortality, right? ”
“I actually don’t care too much about whether I can live forever. I can’t live a life that is clear and thorough in just a few hundred years, let alone a thousand years or even longer?
As for the ideal life? …”
Meng Lang thought about all the recent events, the changes in his mentality, and the uncertain future...
"It should be not to think about the past, not to be afraid of the future, not to be trapped in the heart..."
Meng Lang glanced at Lin Haitang, "Also, don't mess with your feelings..."
Lin Haitang: "..."
This sentence is like a switch, Meng Lang only feels a certain emotion in his heart Being aroused, a desperate impulse surged into my 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, he didn't know. Where did he get the courage? He couldn't help but stretch out his hand towards Lin Haitang's porcelain-like slender hand...
< br>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! See what I caught?"
As soon as their fingers touched, 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 doubtfully.
"It's okay, I was just shocked by the fish in your hand."
"Sister, why are your faces so red?"
"Is it? It's the sunset Let's take a photo, um... it's not too early, let's go up and find Weiwei quickly."
"Oh~ wait a minute, I'll release the little fish!"
< br>
"Don't let go, give it to me."
"Ah? Uncle, what do you want the little fish for?"
"The hotel has a kitchen, I fried it for a midnight snack at night!" Meng Lang said fiercely staring at the fish.
If you had 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 fish would suffer a tragic fate because of being caught at the wrong time...
"Oh! That's okay, I want half of it!" Xiaoyu said happily.
I didn’t notice the instant enmity between one person and one fish.
Lin Haitang looked a little funny and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Meng Lang.
It’s just that... there seems to be something different between the two...
...
On the bungee jumping platform.
Fan Shigang was already rolling his eyes, lying on the bench in the rest area and 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 the high altitude again and again.
However, no matter how hard she concentrated, she never felt that "time slows down" that Meng Lang said.
Seeing the time passing by, Yan Weiwei's mood became worse and worse.
However, the more impatient she became, the less able she was to concentrate. In the end, Yan Weiwei was jumping down again and again mechanically, 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, he can’t even draw a dragon with his left hand and a rainbow with his right hand. If you don't know how to do it, how can you be like Meng Lang and master it overnight..."
I stupidly came here and danced for a day... I seemed like a fool...
That guy... knowing that he can't do it, why should he give himself such hope...
I really want to beat him up...
Looking at the originally bright sun, By this time, the sun was already fading.
Yan Weiwei only feels that her future, like the sun, is getting darker and darker, and she is unable 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.
Slowly closing his eyes, his body adjusted mechanically, and finally his body slowly leaned forward...
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...
Slowed 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. They were talking and laughing, and there was 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? (End of this chapter)
