The office storm seemed to have passed just like that. However, the aftereffects were even more serious. In the past, no one would dare to ask him to do chores like cleaning and fetching water. However, there was clearly an insurmountable gap between him and his colleagues in the office. In front of him, everyone seemed very enthusiastic, but no one dared to get close to him. There was a real hypocrisy in the enthusiasm. No matter how slow Xiang Wentian was, he could still sense it.

This kind of life of being invisible made him feel even more uncomfortable than the days when he was bullied. If he wanted to do something here, this kind of wish was probably harder than ascending to the heavens. The people in the office were secretly on the same side as Director Qiu. They said it nicely, but in action, they wished that something bad would happen to him. How could such an environment be suitable for people? No matter how heroic he was, he only had a pair of hands and two eyes. How could he resist the countless pairs of eyes and fists hidden by others?

After dinner, Xiang Wentian went to Uncle Song's place to watch the news. A public service advertisement appeared on the television station. It was a classic advertisement that would be famous for a period of time in the future: The bigger the dream, the higher the stage. This advertisement captured his heart, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. He stared at it blankly, and his mind flew to the short article he had read in the newspaper in the afternoon. It was about the principle of moving a living tree to move a dead tree.

A young man was not willing to live a mediocre life in the unit. He went out to make a living. He did a lot of work in the coastal area and finally became a white-collar worker. He could live a relatively satisfactory life.

He didn't want to live a petty life, but his desire for Sally was real. If he stayed in Sandao Town, he was 100% sure: In this life, his life trajectory would only be parallel to Sally's, and there would never be a possibility of crossing paths. Xiang Wentian thought of a poem,"Wherever you are, it is the direction I pursue all my life."

The Deep Region that Sally was in was the direction that he should go. Seeing Xiang Wentian staring at the advertisement blankly, Grandpa Song interrupted him and asked,"Hey, Xiao Xiang, what's wrong? Do you feel anything?"

Uncle Song lived on this street. He was old and his wife had left. He lived alone in town. He heard that he had a son, but he rarely saw Uncle Song return. He had worked for four to five years and had never seen his son. He was still very kind to him, which was why he was willing to come here.

"I, I, the people in the town are very xenophobic.”Xiang Wentian didn't hide anything from Uncle Song. He was touched and said with some grievance.

"Xenophobic? Little Xiang, you will encounter this thing wherever you go.”Grandpa Song smiled gently and said," You've been here for four or five years, right?”

He nodded. Uncle Song looked at him and asked,""Did you see what the TV said just now and feel touched? Think about it, how many five years were there in a person's life?”

That's right! How many five years could one spend in one's life? Xiang Wentian pondered over this sentence, feeling bitter in his heart. He could only use a short sentence to summarize his arrival here: I'm not at ease. He was not a human being, but he had not seen any possibility of growth in life so far. The road is long, oh, how can I go up and down to seek?

"Xiao Xiang, I heard that you had a big fight with Director Qiu. Is that true?”Grandpa Song saw him nod his head gently and said," You know that Director Qiu doesn't like you. Now that things have turned out this way, have you thought about how you're going to stay in town in the future? Director Qiu is your superior.”

Xiang Wentian shook his head in confusion. His heart was in a mess. How could he know all this? To be honest, it was not the result that he wanted to have such a relationship with Department Director Qiu. It was God who did not give him the chance to perform. There was a saying that a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea. However, from what he could feel, Department Director Qiu's heart was even more difficult to fathom than this needle at the bottom of the sea.

"Perhaps, it's time for you to move. Young man, if you don't take advantage of your youth to make a living, where will you get the chance?”Grandpa Song seemed to be talking to himself.

After watching the news absent-mindedly, he walked out of the reception room and heard a voice calling out in the dark,"Xiang Cadre, Xiang Cadre." He turned his head and saw that it was a hooligan on the street. Ever since that time, Lu Laosan had asked the hooligans in the town to call him boss in front of a group of brothers. He didn't mind listening to his boss's words. Anyway, he didn't have much contact with these people. However, he requested that if they wanted to find him, they couldn't go to the town casually. He still wanted to improve and couldn't let their reputation affect him. He could only secretly send someone to call them.

He followed the hooligan to Gao Di Restaurant. Lu Laosan had already booked a private room for him. After he sat down, he said,"Boss, have you heard that the entire county is going to be cracked down?”

He nodded, and Lu Laosan continued,""There is a strict punishment mission in the town. It is said that the town leaders have already made your fight in the Asparagus Village a target for strict punishment. Will you be implicated?”

He was a little surprised by Lu Laosan's well-informed information, but he didn't care. He said,"What does it have to do with me? I've already written a summary, and the town leaders are all clear about it. However, it's a little unfair to target these people because of this. They're all legitimate citizens. It's too unfair to target them just because of the water diversion. "If you want to say it, it should be to crack down on you people.”

"Hehe, Boss, how can there be such a thing?”Lu Laosan was embarrassed by his words. He smiled and said," We are well-behaved people. We never mess around with officials. However, this time, I really need to leave for a while. This is the debt that Secretary Wu paid me last time. Boss, keep it well.”

"What's wrong? Do you really need to hide?" He casually took the money from No. 3 and pinched it. Why was there so much money? He asked curiously," Didn't Little Wu only owe him half a yuan? Why are there so many?"

Lu Laosan touched his bald head that had been shaved to the point that he did not have a single strand of hair. He chuckled and said,""Isn't it because I'm leaving for a period of time? She thought that since she hit it off with Boss, she definitely wouldn't be as active as him in this aspect in the unit. So, that was it.”

"What are you talking about? How can I take your money? No, this is your money. Take it back.”His face was full of disagreement.

"Boss, if you don't want to acknowledge me as your brother, then don't accept this money. Do you think that this brother's money came from an improper source and despise me?”Lu Laosan said seriously.

Towards Lu Laosan, he didn't have the same thoughts as others. This person was shocked by him and was very sincere to him, unlike others who treated him neither openly nor wickedly. He thought for a moment and said,"Since it's a token of your appreciation, I'll accept it if you call me Boss. If you have any difficulties in the future, come find me.”

He didn't know how he could help them, but he was sure that Lu Laosan knew him because he thought he could be of use to them. " I like Boss's style," Lu Laosan said happily." It's cool." However, Boss, to be honest, you don't seem to be so proud of your work.”

"Don't mention it. If you want to say this, why don't you drink a few more glasses with me?”He changed the topic and raised his glass.

"Don't, Boss. I think that with your ability, you'll definitely be an expert no matter where you go. If you don't leave me here, I'll leave you somewhere else. When it was time to move, it was time to move.”Lu Laosan said sincerely.

This was the second person who had come to persuade him to move. Should he consider this suggestion?
